16、n a cup of coffee and a bird, butterfly, or even a bat? Such seems to be the case, however, as methods for growing coffee plants have gradually changed over time.Coffee plants were first discovered growing inAfricahundreds of years ago. The plants grew under a wide cover of forests, which protected
17、the coffee plants leaves from the burning sun. As coffee was introduced to other countries, farmers would naturally try to grow the plants in the shade of tall trees. These trees provided more than shade for coffee plants; they were also home for many species of birds, insects, and other plants.Over
18、 the past 30 to 40 years, people developed a new kind of coffee plant, one which grows well in open sunlight. Sun-grown coffee produced two times more coffee than shade-grown coffee in the same amount of time and space. As a result, the growing need for coffee makes the sun-grown method appear to be
19、 the best way to grow coffee.However, this newer method has some unexpected results. First, the lack of tree cover leaves the land open to heavy rainfall, which can wash away the soils nutrients (营养物质). This necessitates an increased use of fertilizers and additives, which is likely to create health
20、 risks. Second, as forests are taken down to make way for sun-grown coffee plants, native and migratory birds no longer have a home. This is threatening many species, and the effect is now being examined and recorded byornithologists, who are discovering sharp falls in some species that travel to th
21、e northernUnited Stateseach year.

24、ction between _.A. coffee and forestsB. coffee production and the environment C. coffee farmers and animalsD. coffee and sunlightDAsking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. In American culture, the independent individual is seen as their ideal. As the University of Missouri at St. L
25、ouis states on its website under the heading Key American Values, “Americans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies.” The value also makes them think they can do eve
26、rything themselves, and makes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it.And when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept. While this has always been true for men, many women in the
27、workplace have felt the need to try twice as hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth. Sometimes when we think about asking for help, our inner voices tell us, “See, if you admit you cant do this on your own, theyll see you for the imposter(骗子) y
28、ou really are.”But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we cant do everything by ourselves and we shouldnt try.Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association about the power of asking for help, and how he “never found anybody who didnt want to help
29、 me when I asked them for help”. He said, at the age of 12, he called Bill Hewlett, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard, on the phone after getting his number from the phone book and asking him for spare parts so he could build a frequency counter(计频器). And Hewlett agreed and offered young Jobs a summer j

34、live in a dog-eat-dog world.37 A person has to work hard like a dog to be successful. Such hard work can make people dog-tired.

35、his or her life. 38 Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks.

36、ard dogs living in places where people throw away things they do not want. Junkyard dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property.
