B Justin Bieber used to be an ordinary Canadian boy, but his life totally changed in 2008. With his great musical talent, this seve
28、nteen-year-old boy has become a superstar in the music industry. Justin Drew Bieber was born in 1994 in Stratford, Ontario and was raised by his single mother. Bieber learned to play musical instruments when he was very young. In 2007, he took part in a local singing competition in his hometown, and
29、 he did it just for fun. He never took singing lessons before but surprisingly he placed second in the competition. Then, with the help of his mother, he uploaded videos of him singing on a website and they successfully attracted the attention of thousands of viewers. His videos got popular through
30、word of mouth and some of them have received up to 10,000,000 views. Justin Bieber would have never gotten a career in the music business without his videos. Scooter Braun, a former marketing executive (主管) of So So Def Recordings, had watched Biebers videos and he was impressed by the boys talent.
31、Braun then contacted Bieber and he flew the boy into Atlanta seven months after the first video was posted. Bieber showed his talent in singing as well as his ability in playing musical instruments. He then got a record deal. In 2009, Justin Bieber released (发行) his first single “One Time” while he
32、was recording the debut album (首张专辑). The single “One Time” tells a story about love. This song had success not only in Canada and the US, but also in the international market. Then he released his debut album “My World 2.0” in 2010 and the song “Baby” became the lead single. This album successfully

38、p green turn red, yellow and bright orange. It happens every autumn. But did you ever wonder why?The leaves start changing color when the nights start getting longer and the temperature starts getting cooler. Some scientists think that as the number of daylight hours shrinks, the leaves stop making
39、chlorophyll which makes plants green. The reason is that the process of making chlorophyll requires sunlight. But according to horticulture (园艺) educator Susan Rose from Colorado State University, it turns out leaves dont really change color at all. “The fall colors are actually there all along,” sh
40、e said. “But they are covered by the green chlorophyll. As the chlorophyll stops being produced, the other colors can shine through.”The kind of color that the leaves are going to change to is determined by the plants genetic (基因的) background. In some places, the leaves start changing color in Septe
41、mber before autumn even officially begins. In other places, they dont change until late October or even November. Some scientists say the leaves have been changing color later than usual in recent years. And they think global warming has something to do with that.In one study, researchers found that
42、 the growing season in the Northern Hemisphere was nearly a week longer, on average, in 2008 than it was in 1982. And a professor from Harvard University found that the leaves, west of Boston, Massachusetts, are changing color about three days later than they used to. However, other scientists disag
43、ree with the global warming theory. Susan Rose said the leaves in her part of Colorado are changing “right on schedule.” But the leaves in other parts of that state are running a little late. “The lateness in the mountains may have something to do with the really warm late summer and early fall,” sh
44、e said. “But Im afraid thats just a guess.”51.According to Susan Rose, _. Athe fall colors are always in leavesBleaves make chlorophyll all the seasonsCleaves changing color have nothing to with the weatherDleaves begin changing color because they start making chlorophyll52.The underlined word “shri

At first he didnt know what was going on. Now he sits underneath the machine, wagging his tail and wait
49、ing for the food to drop.”Nat fills the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits, but not too many in case four-year-old Toby gets too many messages. And Nat has even equipped his house with an online camera so he can see Toby enjoying the food at his home.But one problem is that friends and f
50、amily have been so amazed with the “tweet treat” machine that they have started sending tweets to Toby too. So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby doesnt turn into Tubby.“People have been sending him tweets at all hours of the day, so I had to limit it to between 9a.m. and 9 p.m.
51、. Im thinking of doing an updated one which can measure his weight before he is fed, just to make sure hes not putting on too much puppy fat,” explained Nat.How Nats Twitter Feeder works:When a message is sent to feedtoby, it is received by a mini computer that is linked to the feed machine.When the
52、 mini-computer receives the message, a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine.

76、st, Chinas current water resource is low. Next, water resource is rich in the south while poor in the north, besides pollution.We could not live without water. In our daily life, we use water to cook, drink, wash and irrigate the fields. Besides, when there is a fire, we need to use water to put it
77、out. In fact, we need water everywhere.Then, what should we do about the water shortage problem? First, I think people should be made aware of the real situation about water shortage. Everyone is responsible to consciously save water and do not pollute the existing water resources. The government should make certain law to protect water and punish those who waste water or pollute water. Only in this way can we lead a beautiful life with enough water in the future.
