7 . It's fight night in Berlin club. The lights go down, the door opens and out walks a salesman from San Francisco, David “Dowble D” Depto has travelled 8,000 kilometres in search of glory. As he first walks, then jogs, towards the boxing ring, the muscular, bare-chested American looks cool and confident. But so does his opponent. Waiting for him in the blue corner is Frank Stoldt, a tall, strong German policeman, who calls himself “anti-terror Frank”. For obvious reasons, the crowd is on his side.

The bell rings. Round one! The fighters come out. But then, something rather strange happens. The two players sit down at a table which has a chessboard on it and start playing chess-in the middle of the boxing ring.

“Why?” you may ask yourself. Well, this is chessboxing, and tonight is the final of the first chessboxing World Championship.

The rules of a chessboxing match are simple. There is one round of chess and then one round of boxing. Punching power alternates with brain power. All in all, you have 11 rounds in which to checkmate your opponent-or knock him out.

Two sports in one means double the pain, and double the pressure. Before this big fight, Frank spent hours doing exercises that prepared his mind as well as his muscles. Winners in chessboxing are people whose mental strength equals their physical strength.

But why do it in the first place? Why put yourself through this physical and mental torture? For David Depto, it is all about proving that you can be a boxer and still have a brain. The sport has taken off in Germany, where they are preparing the next generation of chessboxing champions. It is even being taught in a Berlin school.

Back in the ring, it is round seven and the players are locked in battle around the chessboard, sweat pouring from their foreheads. Suddenly, Frank Stoldt sees an opening and moves in to finish the match. Queen to G7… checkmate!

The referee stops the match, the crowd erupts-the local hero has won and is given the world title belt, which proves that, when it comes to mixing brains and muscle, Germany really is the Grand Master.

1. Why is it "obvious" that the crowd wants Frank Stoldt to win?

A．He is a policeman.	B．He has powerful muscle.
C．He is a host player.	D．He fights against terrorism.

2. What's the way in which a match can finish?

A．Either checkmate the opponent or knock him out.

B．One of the players gives up or is sent to hospital.

C．The referee counts down eight to zero in the round of chess.

D．The player finds the opening into the court which is locked.

3. What's TRUE about chessboxing?

A．Compared with boxing, it means half danger and half stress.

B．It requires more mental strength than physical strength.

C．The sport is popular in Germany, where it is a school subject.

D．The players play chess in the middle of the boxing ring.

4. The underlined word "erupt" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.

A．leave the stadium	B．burst into cheers
C．interrupt the ceremony	D．fight with the opposing fans

Eat Green: Our Everyday Food Choices Affect Global Warming and the Environment

What we eat     1    . The food choices we make every day have a big effect on the environment. The good news is that even small     2     in what we buy and eat can add up to real environmental benefits, including fewer toxic (有毒的) chemicals, reduced global warming emissions, and preservation of our ocean resources. Eating “green” can also mean eating fresher, healthier foods while reducing your grocery bill and     3     our farmers.

1. Choose Climate-Friendly Food

Food that comes from high on the food chain or arrives to your plate after extensive     4     tends to require more energy and release more global warming pollution into the air. The “carbon footprint” of hamburger, for example, includes all of the fossil fuels that went into     5     the fertilizer and pumping the irrigation (灌溉) water to grow the corn that fed the cow, and may also include emissions that result from converting forest land to grazing land(牧场). NRDC estimates that if all Americans eliminated just one quarter pound serving of beef per week, the reduction in global warming gas emissions would be     6     to taking four to six million cars off the road.

2. Buy Organic and Other Sustainable Certifications

Eco—labels like USDA Organic and others give us a way to     7     environmental performance in the marketplace. Organic agriculture, for example, is a safer choice for the environment and your family because organic growers don’t use synthetic (合成的) pesticides and fertilizers.

3. Watch Your Waste

The USDA estimates that an astonishing 27 percent of all food produced for people in the United States is either thrown away or is used for a lower—value purpose, like animal food. A recent study estimated that the average household wastes 14 percent of its food purchases—a loss of significant value for most families. In addition to the water, energy, pesticides, and global warming pollution that went into producing.     8    , and transporting this discarded (废弃的) food, nearly all of this waste ends up in landfills where it releases even more heat—transporting gas in the form of methane (甲烷) as it decomposes.

4. Eat Locally

A typical American meal contains ingredients from five foreign countries, and even domestically grown produce travels a(n)    9     of 1,500 miles before it is sold. Buying locally can help reduce the pollution and energy use     10     with transporting, storing and refrigerating this food.

A hungry polar bear seen scavenging (在废弃物中觅食) for food in a major     1     city in northern Siberia has been caught and     2     to a wildlife park for treatment. Experts say the animal,     3     thought to have wandered hundreds of miles from its natural habitat (栖息地) in the Arctic, instead may have been taken as a cub and raised in captivity (关押) by pelt traders. The polar bear was spotted wandering throughout the city, searching for food. Photos showed the animal walking slowly across a busy road with muddy paws, digging through rubble and trash and lying down from     4     exhaustion on the ground.

Wildlife experts were called to assess the polar bear and determine whether it could be taken back to the Arctic.

But after sedating (给……服镇静剂) the animal, experts said it was severely ill, at least partly from feeding herself from garbage     5    , and would need medical care, according to the Siberian Times. Experts developed new theories about how it came to be in the city, thinking that it may have been raised there by poachers (偷猎者) who intended to sell it for its pelt. The experts explained that it is     6     males, not females, that travel long distances, and said this polar bear was too clean to have made such a trip. It’s possible that poachers     7     the animal to avoid being caught and punished.

Polar bear poaching has been banned in Russia for more than 60 years. Still, it has been estimated that as many as 200 of them are killed each year. In February, local reports estimated that about 50 polar bears had taken over Novaya Zemlya, popping up in buildings, on playgrounds. As a result, officials declared a state of emergency, many people were too scared to leave their homes or let their children play outside, and     8     personnel were being sent to help cope with the situation.

Polar bears are     9    classified as a vulnerable species because of the ongoing and     10     loss of their sea ice habitat resulting from climate change. The International Union for Conservation of Nature estimates that there are 22,000 to 31,000 polar bears worldwide.
