  • People say that money cannot buy happiness. This was true for Howard Hughes. (76)He was one of the richest and most powerful men of his time. He had everything: good looks,success,power,and a lot of money.But he didn't have love or friendship because he couldn't buy them. All his life he used his money to control everything and everyone around him. In the end,he lost control of everything,even himself. Howard Hughes was born in 1905 in Houston, Texas. His father started the Hughes Tool Company.He was a workaholic(工作狂)and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted.He even gave money to schools so Howard could get into them. From his father, Howard learned to be a successful but merciless businessman. Hughes's mother, Allene also had a big influence on his life. Howard was her only child. She protected him and gave him everything. Unfortunately, Allene had mental problems.(77) She was afraid of germs and diseases. She was obsessed with Howard's health,and he became obsessed with it too. Allene died when Howard was 16 years old. Two years later his father died. Hughes inherited the Hughes Tool Company. Then he married Ella Rice. He and Ella moved to Los Angeles, California. It was there that Howard Hughes began to become a legend(传奇人物). Hughes began to invest his money in movies.He became an important producer soon after he moved to California. He worked hard, but he also played hard. He became obsessed with power and control. When he couldn't get something legally, he gave money to politicians and businessmen so they would help him.He owned a lot of businesses, including airplane companies,a movie studio(制片厂),Las Vegas hotels, gold and silver mines, and radio and television stations. Once he bought a television studio so he could watch movies all night,He also bought a hotel because he wanted to stay in his favorite room for one weekend.

  • Half of the world's coral reefs(珊瑚礁)have died in the last 30 years. Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive.Even if global warming were to stop right now, scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem,the reefs may be headed for total extinction(灭绝). (78)The planet's health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They are often described as "the rainforests of the sea",because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life.In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms. Corals are used in medical research for cures to diseases.They are key to local economies as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dollars. (79) Corals are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae(水藻).Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage.In 1998,when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded history, coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions, many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover. Although reefs face other threats from pollution, industrial activities, and overfishing, it is global climate change that most concerns scientists. Scientists remain hopeful that it's not too late to save the reefs, and some are moving ahead on experiments to accomplish that goal.

  • Over the years, college students have stood together for what they believe in,from civil rights to anti-war policies to the more recent protests against the unequal distribution of wealth. But nowhere in history have students banned(禁止)bottled water. Until now. The bottled water ban,which started on just a few campuses,has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities.The colleges have either completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans. Many people believe that producing and using bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. are among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access(获取)to filling stations are a better choice. An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually,while drinking from plastic containers costs $1,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead to death. The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat.(80)They argue that plastic bottles make up a small portion of the nation's total waste.It's unfair to single out(单独挑出)their product when so many other items are packaged in plastic containers. Plus, water is a healthy choice compared to some sodas and juices that are also sold at school.   11@Which of the following is the main idea of the passage? Many universities ban or restrict the sale of bottled water. B.Many states ban or restrict the sale of bottled water. C.The bottled water industry is concerned about its decreasing sales. D.Many people are opposed to the bottled water ban.
