23、March 20th is World Water Day every year. According to a report from the United Nations, more than half of the world's major rivers have serious water loss and are polluted.The Yellow River, the world's fifth longest river, watered some of the oldest farms on earth. But now it has a serious problem. _【1】_In most of the past 35 years, it didn't reach the sea.The Nile in Egypt, running 6, 650 km, is the longest river in the world. __【2】__ Now it is down to 2 billion m' or so. Australia's Murray River reaches the sea only every other year. One fifth of America's Rio Grande has no water, either._ 【3】__Mostly it's damming (筑坝) and global warming that make rivers dry.
_【4】_ Now about 45, 000 of them lie across the world's rivers. They hold back around 15% of the world's fresh water from running to the sea.Global warming is making things worse. Warmer weather takes water away. The glacier (冰川) are becoming smaller. _【5】Global warming has had certain effects on water sources (源头). Droughts (干旱) happening around the world make people pay more attention to this fact.
24、I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago. Her husband died of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insights with us.
The class was nearly over. She said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you an important thought.”
“Each of us is put here on Earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves. We must make good use of every single day.”
Her eyes beginning to water, she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see—it could be a scent or the sound of the gentle wind.”
“Please look for these things, and treasure them. They are the stuff of life. We must make it a point to notice them, for at any time it can all be taken away.”
Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and try to treasure all of those things that sometimes we do not realize.
Take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today. Walk barefoot along the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we regret（遗憾）, but the things we didn’t do.

25、The greatest wonders of the ancient world are usually hard to miss. For example, you can’t walk past Egypt’s pyramids without noticing them. They’re right in your face. But not the Nazca Lines in southern Peru.
These ancient drawings don’t rise before you on huge stones. They’re geoglyphs. They’re seen in the desert sands. There are hundreds of them. Some are so large that the best way to see them is from the window of a plane. That’s how thousands of visitors see them each year.
Yet these wonders weren’t noticed for nearly 1,500 years. A researcher first found some geoglyphs in Nazca (the Nazca Lines) in 1927. But nearly 150 geoglyphs weren’t discovered until many years later. It took technology such as drones (无人机) to find them.
Researchers still have many questions about the geoglyphs. And the answers are unclear. Here’s what we do know: The area’s pre-Incan Nazca people created the geoglyphs. This was between 500 BCE and 500 CE. How did they make them? By moving away some of the dark rocks that covered the ground. This showed the lighter-colored desert sand below.
Many of the Nazca Lines show the natural world, like animals and plants. And then there are some that aren’t from nature. One example was found in 2019. It’s of a strange creature (创造物) with many eyes and mouths. Researchers say this shows that the Nazca people may have had a taste for the magical.
So why were the geoglyphs created in the first place? Researchers think they may have been part of rituals (仪式) for rain and crops. Certain geoglyphs may have shown where the rituals were being held. Others could have led travelers to those places.
Then again, these are all guesses. Only one thing is clear: The Nazcas found a way to draw lasting lines in the always-changing sands of time.
【1】What does the underlined word “geoglyphs” mean in the text?
A．Wall paintings.
B．Oil paintings.
C．Ground drawings.
D．Cartoon drawings.
【2】The writer uses Paragraph 5 mostly to ________.
A．introduce the rituals of the Nazca people
B．say that finding the lines was not very easy
C．show what some of the Nazca Lines look like
D．explain the reason for making the strange lines
【3】Which of the following happened last?
A．The Nazca people created drawings in the desert sand in Peru.
B．Some Nazca Lines weren’t noticed in Peru for nearly 1,500 years.
C．A researcher found groups of lines drawn on the desert floor in Nazca.
D．A geoglyph of a strange creature with many eyes and mouths was found.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The Nazca Lines were found by a researcher in 1927.
B．The Nazca Lines are pictures made in the sands of Peru.
C．The Nazca Lines were made between 500 BCE and 500 CE.
D．The Nazca Lines show a creature with many mouths and eyes.
26、We choose food to eat every day. We might know some of the reasons for the choices. But food scientist Dr. Brian Wansink has found that we are unaware of 90% of our food decision. Here are some “big ideas” in his research on the hidden power that drives our eating.
Food for thought
In one of the studies, Dr. Wansink made volunteers eat chocolate yogurt in a dark room. He told them the yogurt was with a taste of strawberry even though they were all eating chocolate. Finally, 65% of volunteers described the yogurt as having a “nice strawberry flavor”!
The research shows that our imagination has an effect on our taste. If you expect a food to taste good, it will. So take a moment before you eat your unpleasant healthy food to remind yourself that you are eating delicious fish and chips.
Our eyes eat first
How your food looks is just as important as how it tastes. Dr. Wansink gave cakes to three groups of people.
The cakes were exactly the same but served in different ways.
①Group one got the cake on a nice plate.
②Group two got the cake on a paper plate.
③Group three got the cake on a piece of paper.
Dr. Wansink then asked the people how much they would pay for each cake.
①Group one who got the cake on a nice plate would pay $1.27.
②Group two who got the cake on a paper plate would pay 76 cents.
③Group three who got the cake on a piece of paper would pay 53 cents.
Take some time to make your healthy food look amazing. Cut your fruit into a flower shape and put your colorful vegetables on nice plates. This works really well for your appetite (胃口).
Out of sight, out of stomach
Dr. Wansink also found that when people sat at the desk full of snacks, they ate 71% more of snacks a day than those sitting near a clear table. We eat what we see. As a result, put all the unhealthy food in your fridge.
Hide it and make it really hard to get to. The closer bad food is, the more you eat it.
【1】How many ideas are mentioned in the passage?

【2】Why did the volunteers say the yogurt had a strawberry flavor?

【3】How can we make ourselves eat more vegetables we don’t like?
A．Have the same vegetable every day.
B．Serve vegetables on lovely plates.
C．Put vegetables on a piece of paper.
D．Eat vegetables as soon as they are cooked.

“The little bamboo tree had been growing underground in the past four years, developing a root (根) strong enough for its ground growth in the fifth year.
