【推荐3】Mom was a teacher most of her life. When she wasn't in the classroom, she was educating her children or grandchildren; correcting our grammar; starting us on collections of butterflies, flowers or rocks; or inspiring a discussion on her most recent ''Book of the Month Club'' topic. Mom made learning fun.

It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her suffering in her later years. At eighty-five, she suffered a stroke and she went steadily downhill after that.

Two days before she died, my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair. While we waited for the staff to lift her limp body back into bed, Mom fell asleep. Not wanting to wake her, we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly.

After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a muffled sound coming from across the room. We stopped talking and looked at Mom. Her eyes were closed, but she was clearly trying to communicate with us. We went to her side.

'' Whrr, '' she said weakly.

''Where? '' I asked. ''Mom, is there something you want? '' ''Whrr, '' she repeated a bit stronger. My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.

Mom opened her eyes, sighed, and with all the energy she could gather said, '' Not was. Say were! ''

It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother Jim’s last sentence. ''if it was up to me…''

Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek. ''Thanks, Mom, '' he whispered. We smiled at each other and once again shook our heads…

【推荐1】Turtles have an unfortunate habit of eating plastic objects floating in the sea. These then cannot be broken down and digested, and may ultimately kill them.

It is widely assumed that this special liking for plastics is a matter of mistaken identity. Floating plastic bags, for instance, look similar to jellyfish, which many types of turtles love to eat. Yet lota of plastic objects that end up inside turtles are not similar to jellyfish. Joseph Pfaller of the University of Florida therefore suspects that the smell of micro-organisms (微生物) which grow on floating plastic objects fools turtles to feed.

Researchers at the University of California noticed that certain chemicals, which are released into the air by micro-organism — colonised plastics, are those which many seabirds sniff to track down food. These chemicals mark good places to hunt because they indicate an abundance of the seaweed and bacteria. Since turtles are known to break the surface and sniff the air when swimming towards their feeding areas, Dr. Pfaller indicated that they are following these same chemicals, and are fooled into thinking that floating plastic objects are edible.

To test that idea, he and his colleagues set up an experiment. They arranged for 15 of the animals, each around five months old, to be exposed, in random order, to four smells delivered through a pipe to; the air above an experimental area. The smells were: the vapour from deionised (去离子) water; the smell of turtle-feeding meal; the smell of a clean plastic bottle; and the smell of a similarly plastic bottle that had been kept in the ocean for five weeks to allow seaweed and bacteria to grow on it. Two of the smells-the smell of meal and that of five-week-old bottles-proved far more attractive to the animals than the others.

On the face of it, then, the turtles were responding to the smell of old bottles as if it were the smell of food. In an unpolluted ocean, pretty well anything which had this smell would be edible-or, at least, harmless. Unfortunately, five-week-old plastic bottles and their like are not.

1. What is most people's opinion on turtles' special habit?

A．Turtles prefer jellyfish to plastics.

B．Turtles enjoy the taste of plastics.

C．Turtles like being fed with plastic tools.

D．Turtles choose to eat plastics for a mistake.

2. What does the underlined word “edible" in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Fit to eat.	B．Pleasant to smell.
C．Far to reach.	D．Easy to digest.

3. What can we infer from Dr. Pfaller's research?

A．Many seabirds can track the food.

B．Most animals find food through smells.

C．Two smells are especially favored by turtles.

D．The favored smell leads turtles to seek for food.

4. Why did the author mention the unpolluted ocean at last?

A．To explain why the ocean is polluted.

B．To ask for people to feed turtles proper food.

C．To arouse the awareness of protecting the ocean.

D．To show his agreement on Dr. Pfaller's research.

【推荐2】With the increasing popularity of climbing gyms and the addition of climbing to the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo, interest is booming. Here are some U.S. rock climbing spots that are welcome to newer climbers.

Horse Pens 40, Steele, Alabama

These natural rock shelters in the Appalachian foothills are renowned for their bouldering, a type of rock climbing without ropes and safety belts.

This area on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains offers a series of climbing options: bouldering; sport climbing, which uses anchors(锚) permanently fixed in the rock; and traditional climbing, which has climbers using removable protection devices.

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

It’s possible to climb Grand Teton, the towering peak(山峰) which gives its name to the park. A guided trip up the 13,770-foot mountain requires several climbing disciplines, but offers an incredible reward: a view of 14 different mountain ranges in four states.

Smith Rock State Park, Oregon

Located about 25 miles north of Bend, this spot became popular in the 1980s and is considered the birthplace of American sport climbing, Santella says. The world’s top climbers come to try the difficult routes here. It also has a large climbing community with instructors and guides.
