I come from Santiago, the capital of Chile. There are two separate areas in Santiago. There is an area for the very rich people and there is a part for the poor people. I come from the poor side of the city. The very rich people never cross over to the poor side of the city. But sometimes the poor people save their money and cross over to visit the beach on the rich side.

Dad drove buses. He would leave for work just after 4 am. His pay depended on the number of people who rode in his bus, so he would keep driving until he had made enough money for the day. Mum worked as a barber(理发师). She did not come home until late at night. My brother, sister and I spent a lot of time with my grandparents.

Dad had lived in Australia when he was younger. He told us about the large parks covered with grass. He told us about the beaches that were close to the cities which anyone could visit. Dad thought it would be better if we moved to Australia.

We could only take things that could fit in our suitcases(手提箱). I took clothes and a few special things that reminded(使......想起) me of Chile. I took photographs, a box covered with sand from the beaches of Chile and traditional toy.

I was very sad to leave my friends and family, especially my grandmother. My grandmoter had always looked after me. I didn’t want to leave her, but Dad said that she would come and visit us in Australia one day. When I left, I cut off some of my hair so that my grandmother would remember me.

Do you still remember the scene in the famous movie Titanic, directed by Cameron, where Jack was frozen to death in the icy cold water so that Rose could survive on the floating door alone? It broke many people’s heart.

Two decades later, people are still asking the question, “wasn’t there enough room on the door for both of them?”

Cameron once responded by saying it wasn’t a question of room, but buoyancy—if both of them had tried to stay on the raft, he argued, the whole thing would sink.

But several guys from “Mythbusters”, an Australian-American science entertainment television program, decided to test the theory themselves. They discovered that if Rose had took off her life jacket to the bottom of the raft, there would have been enough buoyancy to keep both of them afloat.

When they presented their findings to Cameron, the director insisted that Jack couldn’t be saved.

“The answer is very simple,” Cameron said. “Because it says on page 147 of the script that Jack dies. To Cameron, it was an artistic choice to have the beloved character of millions, Jack drown into the cold sea. Jack had to die because Cameron thought it would be best if we did.

“It was an artistic choice, the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him,” Cameron said. “I think it’s all kind of silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later. But it does show that the film was effective in making Jack so endearing to the audience that it hurts them to see him die. The film is about death and separation; he had to die.”

Since Jack was doomed to die, Cameron said, it could have happened in a variety of different ways. It’s not about the door not being big enough: that’s just a practical method for his death. “Whether it was that, or whether a chimney fell on him, he was going down,” Cameron said. “It’s called art: things happen for artistic reasons, not for physics reasons.”

8. What do we know about the character Jack according to the text?
A.He intended to kill himself.B.He sacrificed himself to save Rose.
C.He didn’t have money to buy ticket.D.He lacked basic knowledge of physics.
9. According to Cameron, why did the audience argue about Jack’s death for 20 years?
A.They are fragile people.B.They don’t like the movie.
C.They love the character Jack.D.They are crazy about physics.
10. Why was a chimney mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To introduce the structure of the ship.B.To show the original plan of the movie.
C.To present the missing part of the movie.D.To explain the unchangeable fate of Jack.
11. What is best title of the text?
A.Jack in Titanic Must Die.B.Big Enough for Both.
C.Cameron is Wrong.D.Jack could Survive.

Heat stress from extreme heat and humidity (湿度) will annually affect areas that are now home to 1.2 billion people by 2100, assuming current greenhouse gas emissions (排放), according to a Rutgers study.

Most climate studies on projected heat stress have focused too much on extreme heat but did not consider the role of humidity, which is another key driver. “When we look at the risks of a warmer planet, we need to pay particular attention to the combined effects of extreme heat and humidity, which are especially dangerous to human health.” said Robert E. Kopp, director of the Rutgers Institute of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.

Rising global temperatures are increasing exposure to heat stress, which harms human health. Heat stress is caused by the body’s inability to cool down properly through sweating. Body temperature can rise rapidly, and high temperatures may damage the brain and other vital organs. What’s more, heat stress can result in heatstroke (中暑), which is the most serious heat-related illness, can kill or cause permanent disability without emergency treatment.

Annual exposure to extreme heat and humidity above safety guidelines will be projected to affect areas that are currently home to about 500 million people, if the planet warms by 1.5℃ and nearly 800 million at 2℃. The planet has already warmed by about 1.2℃ above late 19th century levels.

An estimated 1.2 billion people would be affected with 3℃ of warming, as expected by the end of this century under current global policies. That’s nearly four times the number of people affected today, and nearly 12 times the number who were affected in no industrial age.

12. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?
A.Many areas will be flooded by the end of 2100.
B.Exposure to polluted air may cause cancer.
C.Less attention has been paid to the effect of humidity.
D.Heat stress makes it harder to forecast the weather.
13. What’s the harm of high body temperature?
A.Sweating a lot.B.Damaging organs.
C.Causing heart-attack.D.Leading to high blood pressure.
14. How many people are affected by heat stress nowadays?
A.About 800 million.B.About 500 million.
C.About 1.2 billion.D.About 300 million.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.How to prevent heat stress
B.Heat stress may affect more people
C.The combination of heat and humidity
D.The earth may get warmer and warmer
