26、Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history．

Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers，for food，for sport，and simply because they were in the way．Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever．Hundreds more are on the danger list today．About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger．

Why should people care？Because we need animals．And because once they are gone， there will never be any more．

Animals are more than just beautiful and interesting．They are more than just a source of food．Every animal has its place in the balance of nature．Destroying(毁灭)one kind of animal can create many problems．

For example，when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(老鹰)，the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice．Why？Because hawks eat rats and mice．With no hawks to keep down their numbers，the rats and mice multiplied(繁殖)quickly．

Luckily，some people are working to help save the animals．Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem．And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger．

Quite a few countries have passed laws．These laws forbid the killing of any animals or plants on danger list．Otherwise，the number of some animals in danger is growing．

27、How to Politely Cancel Plans

Imagine you have made plans with a friend, but you just don’t have the energy when leaving the house. Or maybe something else comes up, and you actually can’t make it. 【1】 But with the following tips, you can gracefully cancel your plan without feeling guilty.

Text them as soon as possible. If you know you’re not going to be able to make it or you’re just not feeling like it, keep your friends informed with the least delay. 【2】 Other-wise, your friends might be disappointed about the inconvenience, especially if they set aside time specifically to see you.

【3】 If you’re canceling a date with someone, tell your friends how much you’re looking forward to seeing them. When you start with something nice, your friends will know how much you really appreciate them and that canceling the plans isn’t a personal attack.

Be honest about your situation. 【4】 If you’ve encountered an obstacle in your schedule, you just need to tell them what it is and why you can’t make it. Your friends will be much more understanding if they can tell you’re telling the truth. And it can even help you feel less guilty.

Let them know if you’re just in a bad mood. Sometimes you want to cancel plans because you just aren’t feeling like it, and that’s okay. If you get out of bed in the morning and realize that all you want to do is sit on the couch and eat ice cream, let your friend know. 【5】

A．Start with your appreciation.

B．However, you don’t need to do that too much.

C．Ask if you can reschedule if you can’t make it.

D．There is no need to lie to a friend about what’s going on.

E．Whatever the case is, canceling plans can make you upset.

F．So your friends can adjust their schedule without too much trouble.

G．Everyone has those days, and true friends will surely understand it.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box… Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need.

What’s the point of reading if we all forget what we read sooner or later? Being a liberal arts (文科) teacher, more often than not, I will find myself confronted with this sort of question. And knowing that I am not in a good position to 【1】 this question which can be simple and hard at the same time, I always quote what William Johnson Cory has written in a letter in which he articulates (清晰表达) the purpose of education. From my perspective, his words can also be taken as a 【2】 argument for reading. The full quotation goes:

“At school you are 【3】 not so much in acquiring knowledge as in making mental efforts under criticism. A certain amount of knowledge you can indeed with average faculties acquire so as to retain; nor need you 【4】 the hours you spent on much that is forgotten, for the 【5】 of lost knowledge at least protects you from many illusions. But you go to a great school not so much for knowledge as for arts and habits: for the habit of attention, for the art of entering 【6】 into another person’s thoughts, for the habit of submitting to censure (批判) and refutation (反驳), for the art if indicating assent (附议) or dissent (异议) in gradated terms, for the habit of regarding minute points of accuracy, for the art of working out what is possible in a given time, for taste, for discrimination, for mental courage, and for mental soberness (清醒).”

Besides, even though we eventually forget most of what we read, there can still be 【7】 in the moments of reading a particular book in a particular place. What I remember most about Hemingway’s short-story 【8】 Men Without Women is the persistent cough I had due to a heavy cold, which at that time did give me a strong feeling that I would also like to die for my beloved.

So the purpose of reading is not to memorize 【9】 everything we read but to keep reading. After all, if there are no 【10】 opinions on the idea that we are what we eat then we are also what we read.
