16、nnouncementthe Horticultural ( 园艺 ) Institute offered a reward at a high price for the pure white marigold ( 金盏花 ). The high reward attracted so many people, but in nature besides golden, the marigold is brown；it is not easy to create the white one. So after they were excited for a time, many people
17、 forgot that announcement.One normal day after 20 years, the Horticultural Institute accidentally received a letter and 100 seeds of pure white marigold. On that day the news spread like wildfire. It turned out to be an old woman of over 70 years old. The institute had always been hesitating over th
18、e fact that the letter stated with certainty that the seeds could bloom( 开花 ) pure white marigold.Those seeds finally took root in the earth. The wonder appeared after one year: large fields of pure white marigold swung in the light wind. As a result, the old woman became a new focus.Originally, the
19、 old woman was just a flower-lover. When she happened to read the announcement 20 years ago, her heart kept beating wildly. But her eight children all opposed her decision. After all, a woman who never knew the seed genetics( 遗传学 ) couldnt complete what the experts could never accomplish! Still, the
20、 old woman didnt change her mind and went on working without hesitation. She spread some of the most common seeds and took good care of them. A year later, when the marigold bloomed, she chose one faintest ( 暗淡 ) from those golden and brown flowers and made it wither ( 凋谢 ) naturally in order to get
21、 the best seed. The next year, she again grew them and chose the faintest from these flowers to plant . Year after year, through many cycles of spring sowing and autumn harvest, the old womans husband died; her children flew far and high; a lot of things happened in her life but only the desire to g
22、row the pure white marigold took root in her heart. Finally, after 20 years on the day we all know, in the garden, she saw a marigold, which was not nearly white but as white as silver or snow.Such a difficult problem as even experts couldnt cope with was readily solved by an old woman who didnt und

26、SuccessCTry this: For an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when youre hungry and sleep when youre tired. What do you think will happen?You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. Youll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Eve
27、n though you dont know what time it is, your body does.These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms（生理节奏）, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks direct chang
28、es in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more.Everyones rhythms are different, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But on the whole, everyone is programmed to feel tired at night and energetic during the day.Learning about o
29、ur body clocks may help scientists know why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse in tests. “There is a growing sense that when w
30、e eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are,” says Steven Shea, director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston.One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens. Thats what neurologist（神经病学家）Frank Scheer an
31、d his workmates did in a recent study.Staying up night after night, their studies suggest, could make kids extra hungry and more likely to gain weight. And regularly sleeping too little, Scheer says, may be one cause of the recent increase in childhood obesity.28.What will happen if you forget about
32、 the clock according to the passage?A. You will feel upset.B. You will behave normally.C. Your body will not know what time it is.D. You will probably get hungry more easily.29.

33、doctor. B. Tom should see a doctor.C. Both should take it easy. D. Mike should have a watch.30. How do Frank Scheer and his workmates study body clocks? A. By seeing what happens when they are messed up. B. By asking questions and collecting answers. C. By studying people traveling across time zones
34、. D. By programming people with man-made clocks.31. What will the writer most probably talk about next? A. What circadian rhythms are and how they work B. Some effective medicines that can keep people from putting on weight.C. The importance of eating healthy food.D.Other examples of what people wil
35、l do when their body clocks go wrong.DThe fires sweeping across the Amazon recently have been making the headlines as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will worsen climate change crisis and endanger biodiversity(生物多样性）。As the largest rainforest in the world,the Amazon is ofte
36、n calledthe lungs of the world”。It is also home to about 3 million species of plants and animals,and 1 million local people.The vast area of rainforest plays an important role in the worlds ecosystem because it absorbs heat instead of reflecting heat back into the atmosphere.It also stores carbon di
37、oxide and produces oxygen,ensuring that less carbon is released,reducing the effects of climate change.Any forest destroyed is a danger to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity,Thomas Lovejoy,an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic.The great danger is that a
38、lot of carbon goes into the atmosphere,he stressed.In the midst of the global climate crisis,we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity.The Amazon must be protected,UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.Data from the National Institute for Space Research(INPE)show
39、 that the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased by 82 percent from January to August a year ago.A total of 71,497 forest fires were registered in the country in the first 8 months of 2019,up from 39,194 in the same period in 2018,INPE said.We estimate that the forest areas in the Brazil
