BThe 64-year-old Mahendra, the Secretary at People for Animals(PFA), talks about his disabled and wounded dogs like a father talks about his children with the same love, affection and warmth. It was this love that led him to establish
17、 Indias first shelter home for dogs living with disabilities. It all started in 1998. While taking a midnight walk, Mahendra came across a very weak dog on the street, whose bones were visible under its skin. Mahendra decided to feed it and for the next couple of days it became the centre of his lif
18、e, until the night when he found it dead. After that, Mahendra started providing treatment for all wounded and sick dogs he came across. Some time later, someone told Mahendra about PFA, Indias largest animal welfare organization, chaired by Mrs Maneka Gandhi. Mahendra contacted her and she was impr
19、essed by the work he was doing, Mrs Gandhi asked him to start a PFA chapter in Ahmedbad.Thus, in 2004, he started the shelter. It took a long time for Mehendra to find the land where the shelter could be set up. Finally, Ramesh Bhai Patel, a native farmer from a village named Jundal, agreed to give
20、his land for nothing. Along with a team of four doctors and many volunteers, the shelter now has 25 dogs that were unable to walk at all when they were brought in. Today, theyre slowly healing. Dogs that have healed with proper treatment are sent back to where they came from if the environment there
21、 is safe. However, the shelter will be home to the blind dogs for all their lives, says Mahendra.The shelter runs on money coming from Mahendras own pension of Rs. 45,000.

The lakes fish have provided him with a way to earn money to support his extended family. However, because he can
25、t catch enough fish to feed his family, he now raises farm animals. But as temperatures rise, evaporation increases, making the body of water shrinks. Studies have linked rising temperatures on Earths surface to climate change.The lake is shrinking, so are the chances of his children becoming fisher
26、men. “If things go on like this, I dont think our children can become fishermen like us. They will have to choose other jobs,” the 56-year-old Traore said. “During the rainy season, there is a lot of water but as soon as its over, there is no water left in the lake. We are fishermen. I dont think ou
27、r children will be,” he said. Lake Wegnia is in the Sahel region of Koulikoro, around 120 kilometers north of Malis capital, Bamako. Some 12,000 people, including fishermen and farmers, depend on it for food, water and employment. But the lake has shrunk by 20 percent since 2017. The UN expects temp
28、eratures there to increase 1.5 times higher than the average increase worldwide. UN officials note that the flooding and a severe lack of rainfall can cause problems in the Sahel.

34、soon as someone wakes up from a poor nights sleep greatly affects metabolism(新陈代谢) and blood sugar control. In the study, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, UK researchers let 29 healthy men and women take part in three different overnight experiments. In the first two scenes, participan
35、ts were given a sugary drink upon waking first from a normal nights sleep, and then again after a poor nights sleep during which they were woken up for five minutes every hour. In the third, their sleep was similarly disrupted, but they were given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming th
36、e sugary drink. Blood samples from participants were taken following the sugary drink, which mirrored the calories of a typical breakfast, in each experiment. Results showed that one night of disrupted sleep did not worsen the participants blood sugar responses at breakfast when compared to a normal
37、 night of sleep. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast increased the blood sugar response by around 50 percent. By drinking such kind of drink after breakfast, UK researchers found that our bodies ability to break down our food healthily is completely improved. Examining the effects
38、 of broken sleep and morning coffee across a range of different metabolic markers, scientists at the University of Bath found that, while one night of poor sleep had a limited effect on metabolism, drinking coffee before breakfast could have a negative effect on blood sugar control.“We know that nea
39、rly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee is. This simple study is important and has far-reaching health influences, and it indeed moves some coffee drinkers heartstrings. As up to now we have had limited kno

How did UK researchers get the result of t
41、he experiment?A. By making comparisons.B. By consulting journals. C. By questionnaire. D. By assumption. 13. What can we learn from the experiment?A. One night of poor sleep surely affects blood sugar. B. Drinking coffee after breakfast does harm to health. C. Having strong drinks has a good effect
42、on metabolism. D. Drinking coffee at different time has different effects on health. 14. What does James Betts think of the study?A. It makes no sense.B. It remains to be continued.C. It is limited and blind.D. It is particular and explicit.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. How Much Cof
