23、ndered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers. As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But someone would inv
24、ite her to meet for coffee at nine oclock at night, when she had to start her day at five the next morning. So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website. “You dont have to be a farmer to be on FarmersO, but you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of Americas Heartland.” You a
25、lso have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 members. Many of them are farmers in the United States. Others are students or workers involved i
26、n some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website. Some farmers have also found love through a group, Singles in Agriculture, which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986. It organizes gatherings that usually end with a

31、ay the drums in a band. But one big obstacle lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing
32、in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy. One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because theres no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musica
33、l astronaut. With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bub
34、ble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child. It wasnt long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government sugg
35、ested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band. Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: If those old people next door hadnt matter

One good turn deserves anotherCEating a diet high in processed food increases the risk of depression, research suggests. Whats more, p
40、eople who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, the University College London team found. Data on diet among 3,500 middle-aged civil servants were compared with their emotional state five years later, a British journal reported. They split the participants
41、 into two types of diet-those who ate a diet largely based on whole food，which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish，and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat，refined grains and high fat dairy products After accounting for factors su
42、ch as gender, age, education, physical activity, smoking habits and chronic(慢性的) diseases, they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different diets. Those who ate the most wholefood had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least wholefood. By
43、 contrast, people with a diet high in processed food had a 58 higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed foods. Study author Dr. Archana Singh Manoux pointed out there was a chance that the finding could be explained by lifestyle factor they had not accounted for. He also p
44、ointed in a paper that a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression, but the problem with that is if you live in Britain, the likelihood of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high. DrAndrew McCulloeh, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said, this study a
45、dds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health. He added peoples diets were becoming increasingly unhealthy.

To prove peoples diets are increasingly unhealthy.C. To encourage people to cut down on processed food.D.
50、To introduce some experts on the research team.DIts this time of year when the weather starts warming up and frogs start breeding - but they havent been breeding, says John Wilkinson, research and monitoring officer at the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust (ARC).Amphibians (两栖动物) are just one
51、 of the groups of animals that nature observers fear may have problems reproducing this year, as groundwater levels are even lower now than in the infamously dry summer of 1976, according to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). According to the UKs Centre for Hydrology and
52、 Ecology the average rainfall so far this winter has been the lowest since 1972. If ponds dry up totally, says Mr. Wilkinson, you could have lots of dead tadpoles. Drier and windier conditions could also make it more difficult for juvenile amphibians to survive their journeys between wet habitats. B
53、ut Peter Brotherton, the biodiversity manager for Natural England, says that drought is part of natures cycle, and, at present, a lot of animals, plants and insects are still in hibernation. This means that the population picture is unclear. However, when we get extreme events, we get animals dying,
54、 he says. And what is worrying is that normally at this time of year we expect soil to be near saturation（湿润）after winter. Charlie Kitchin, the RSPBs site manager of the Nene Washes in Cambridgeshire, says the 2,000-acre wetland and grassland area is now struggling following two winters with relativ
55、ely little winter rain and no flooding. One species that could suffer, he says, is the black-tailed godwit（黑尾豫）. There are only 50 breeding pairs in the country, and we have 40 of them, and everything is bone-dry, Mr Kitchin says. But one bad nesting season, he says, is not the end of the world. One
56、 of the features of flood plains is that theyre volatile anyway, he adds. But if they fail to breed another year, the population is likely to dip again.71. According to the passage animals may have problems reproducing this year mainly due to _.A. drought B. hibernationC. windier conditions D. extre
57、me events72. What really worries Peter Brotherton is that _. A. drought is part of natures cycle B. animals are still in hibernation C. soil at this time is far from saturation D. the population of animals is still unclear73. Which of the following is NOT true of Charlie Kitchins words? A. Drought h
58、as so far continued for two winters. B. Animals could survive one bad nesting season. C. The black-tailed godwit is in danger of extinction. D. 40 black-tailed godwits live in the Nene Washes.74. The underlined word volatile in the last paragraph can be replaced by _. A. losing water B. undergoing c
59、hanges C. breeding animals D. suffering flood75. It can be learnt from the text that _. A. groundwater levels this summer are lower than those of 1976B. the average rainfall this year has been the lowest since 1972 C. windier conditions could also cause some amphibians death D. flooding plays no use
