22、Though against his will, this 12-year-old boy felt compelled to leave his puppy to an animal shelter in Mexico. Upsetting, but sometimes the best decision is to let go of your dog for a better life.
The factors that compel owners to give up their pets vary, but the most common ones relate to issues regarding obedience and the owner's capacity. People have no alternative but to give up their dogs when they move into a new neighborhood and pets are not allowed. Another reason is when families cannot afford to cover medical bills for the pet. In the end, they have to give one up to ease their financial burdens.
Nevertheless, giving up our pets is one of the most difficult decisions we have to make, just like what this boy from Mexico did.
On February 13, a 12-year-old boy, Andres, left a pit bull puppy outside the Refugio
Xollin in Michoacan, Mexico. Along with the dog came a stuffed animal and a touching letter penned by his young owner, explaining why he could no longer care for the dog. “My name is Andres and I am 12 years old," the note reads, “My mom and I decide to leave my dog in your hands, hiding it from my dad because he is thinking about selling him." "He mistreats and kicks him. One day he kicked him so hard that he hurt his tail. I hope you can help and take care of him. I leave him a stuffed animal so he won't forget me.
The rescue group shared the story on their Facebook page, along with adorable pictures of the pup. The post quickly gained massive attention online. They have received over 300 applications to adopt the pit bull puppy, Rene, from all over Mexico.
The group took Rene to the pet clinic and had him dewormed. He is on his way to recovery and ready for adoption. However, it seems like Rescue Xollin hasn't found the perfect family for him yet, as he is still under their care. Hopefully, Rene gets adopted out soon and Andres is fine.
【1】What does the underlined word "compel" mean in the second paragraph?
A.Determine.
B.Permit.
C.Force.
D.Persuade.
【2】What led to Andres giving up Rene?
A.The fact that the new neighborhood doesn’t allow pets.
B.The reason that his family can’t afford the medical treatment.
C.The concern that his mother mistreats and kicks Rene.
D.The wish that Rene will experience a better life.
【3】What do we know about Rene?
A.He will be taken care of by the stuffed animal left by the boy.
B.He is well treated in the Refugio Xollin in Michoacan, Mexico.
C.More than 300 people would like to adopt him throughout the world.
D.Rescue Xollin hasn't found time to select a perfect family for him.
23、 Every Morning, Breanna Roque goes out to the farm to feed the cows. But this isn’t your typical farm; it’s a laboratory, and Roque is a graduate researcher at the University of California, Davis. She’s been spending her time among the cows to see if she can adjust their diets so they burp (打嗝) less. The cows’ special diet includes small parts of a red seaweed. It contains a chemical combination, which prevents the production of CH4 during the cows’ digestion. Less CH4 means less burping. And less burping could mean slowing down climate change globally.
Although agriculture accounts for a smaller percentage of total greenhouse gas production than sectors like transportation and energy, it produces more CH4, which warms the Earth up to 86 times as much as CO2. When cows eat, they burp food back up, producing CH4 as a byproduct. Researchers across the globe have been pursuing the idea that adding substances to feed might help reduce these CH4 -loaded burps. But it wasn’t until 2016 that researchers in Australia found that grass feed of 2 percent seaweed could cut CH4 productions by nearly 99 percent. In 2019, Roque’s team published the results of a similar study: They cut CH4 production 95 percent by adding to a typical U.S. dairy cow diet with just 5 percent seaweed. But questions remained about the seaweed’s effectiveness in actual cow stomachs.
So more researchers headed to the farm. They found that a diet of just 0.5 percent seaweed led to a 26-percent decrease in CH4. A 1-percent seaweed diet produced 67 percent less CH4. Further research is needed to fully understand why this seaweed in particular works best and to see if adding seaweed to cows’ diets will affect the quality of the products coming from the animals. In the future, they’ll run trials to see if seaweed gives cow’s milk an unpleasant taste or leaves steaks smelling of seafood.
Researchers still need to ensure the seaweed combination, which is sensitive to heat and light, will be shelf-stable and remain effective in real-world applications. And even if the seaweed succeeds, CH4 from cattle account for just 5 percent of greenhouse gas production in the U.S., so the overall picture won’t improve much.
Still, last August, researchers at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, announced they would be trying to find ways to farm the seaweed on a large-enough scale to break into the cattle feed market. Roque says she’s regularly contacted by annoying businessmen who want her help to mass produce the seaweed for global animal consumption. “People reach out to me all the time,” she says. “Unfortunately, I’m an animal biologist and not a sea biologist.”
【1】What is the purpose of Roque’s research?
A.To reduce global warming through cow feed.
B.To enrich cattle diets with a special seaweed.
C.To make food digestible in cows’ stomachs.
D.To reduce CH4 in the production of seaweed.
【2】According to Paragraph 2, the 2016 and 2019 studies were imperfect as they failed to find out ________.
A.why CH4 was more harmful than CO2 in climate change
B.which seaweed worked best in cutting CH4 production
C.whether seaweed would work in practical cow feeding
D.what was the right proportion of seaweed in cows’ diets
【3】Future research will probably not deal with ________.
A.how to grow seaweed on farmland economically
B.how to bring out the best function of the seaweed
C.how to prevent beef and milk from tasting weird
D.how to lengthen the store time of seaweed feed
【4】Roque’s response to the businessmen indicates that ________.
A.she regrets not having studied seaweeds
B.she is willing to offer more help to them
C.she is negative about the cow feed market
D.she is not interested in farming seaweed
24、Sure, alcohol does give you a sense of happiness, and you may feel like all the problems of the world have just disappeared.【1】How long can you escape from the real-life problems and ignore them as if they don’t exist? Some experts list a few reasons why you should quit alcohol.
【2】
Many studies show the health benefits of drinking alcohol. However, heavy drinking can have harmful effects on your body and brain, leading to certain diseases such as heart disease or diabetes in later life stages.【3】Once you quit drinking, your body starts repairing itself. As a result, you start feeling better and more content. Because the body isn’t affected by alcohol, you save more energy to focus on things. Above all, your brain and body can function at its total capacity once again.
You would say goodbye to hangovers (宿醉)
The worst part about getting drunk is the hangover.【4】Having headaches, feeling sick, and drained all morning long... It makes you think, “why did I drink so much last night?” But on the contrary to this whole experience, there’s one thing that stands out: waking up refreshed with a fantastic day ahead of us instead of having woken up sick from drinking too much alcohol.
No guilt over drinking, no more apologizing
Whether you notice or not, your loved ones must have expressed concern over your drinking habit. Do you feel guilty each time you do it and promise yourself to quit but can’t resist? Know that being free from alcohol can be highly liberating and powerful. If you are struggling to stop on your own, know that there is no shame in seeking treatment and help. The results will be tremendous, and your life will change for good. It might not seem easy to quit, but everything has a starting point.【5】
A.It’s a killer!
B.But is it a permanent solution?
C.But there is good news for you.
D.You would start feeling better.
E.You would save quite a sum of fortune.
F.Has it been long since you have felt this way?
