9、 were walking toward the first mile, we actually started joining all the runners, he said. Everyone was on the streets, cheering, and that was a magical moment. As time went on, the crowds and other racers spread around. Kindleysides and his team of eight supporters continued walking.Kindleysides, w
10、ho is paralyzed(瘫痪的)from the waist down and typically uses a wheelchair, was equipped with an exoskeleton(体外骨骼)to help him walk. His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could keep moving.In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumor (肿瘤) that was grow
11、ing in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs. He was told he would never walk again. Before his paralysis, the London-based singer and dancer had always wanted to run a marathon, he said, but he never made the plan to do so-until this year.During the London
12、Marathon, the last two miles were the hardest. At that point, I was exhausted. It was freezing cold, and I was hurting emotionally, Kindleysides said. But he kept going. I didnt want to let people down. I had a team of eight, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity, he said. I didnt wan
13、t to let them down, myself down, and I thought if I would get this far, I would have to continue.So he continued and made history as the first paralyzed man to complete the London Marathon on foot.Then, recovering at home, he shared his accomplishment with his three children.

Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these p
18、laces because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long perio
19、d of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野).But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000. Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of
20、 cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For
21、 many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives. But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood
22、 were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still

The rusty patched bu
26、mblebee (大黄蜂) is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 statesmeaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust-colored line on its back.The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its endan
27、gered species list. The insects are on the brink of extinction, according to the service. It said the bees were once found in 28 states. But there now are only small populations remaining in 13 states. The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover. The agency said that such a
28、 plan might help other insects, like butterflies.U. S. officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee. They say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens. The insects directly fertilize many kinds of fruit and vegetable c
29、rops. And they fertilize grain crops used to feed cattle and milk cows. It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free. Land owners are also being urged to cut back on their use of pesticide products. The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the e
30、nd of the summer instead of cutting them. That way, the bees will have a place to live over the winter.The Fish and Wildlife Service says the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered species list partly because of habitat loss. Other reasons were disease, pesticides and climate change. Of
31、ficials are worried that other bees will suffer, too. Another species of bees in Hawaii is also endangered.1.How many states declared the rusty patched bumblebee endangered?A.13.B.28.C.48.D.50.2.Which one is harmful to the rusty patched bumblebee?A.Planting native plants.B.Reducing the use of pestic

53、t used to being in a hurry. However，its better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done. The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrongs in a rush. When people do their jobs or take action
54、 in a hurry, they cant make a sound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes， “Haste makes waste.” We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly. Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy thei
55、r life better. For example，taking a train to some places certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides，it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary, being i
56、n a hurry will make us lose chances of enjoying our lives. Finally, slower life pace provides better health conditions for us. As is known to all，taking action in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in a hurry, they will become a loser and that annoys them. B
57、ut being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally. According to some studies，people who have a slower pace suffer fewer diseases, tend to be happier and live much longer than those whose life is tense，even if the former finish jobs more slowly than the latter. In short, working quickl
