    Some of Man's closest relatives in the animal kingdom are under serious threat because of human activity, according to a recently published report.
    According to the document, almost one in three of all apes and monkeys - that is non-human primate species (灵长类动物) are now considered to be in danger of dying out and disappearing from our planet, if action is not taken soon.
    The report, which was produced for the World Conservation Union (WCU), states that 114 of the world's 394 primate species could be lost forever, and the main reason they are threatened is the continuing destruction of forests where most of these animals live. In addition, illegal wildlife trade, climate change and commercial hunting for meat are also pressuring existing primate populations.
    What's more, the problem is getting more serious. The number of species on the organization’s Red List - listing those primate species most threatened and in very serious danger of dying out - has increased by 3 to 25 since 2005.
    Russell Mittermeier, the chief researcher of the WCU report, said, "You could fit all the surviving members of these 25 species in a single football stadium. So the problem is obviously urgent."
    The scientists, who drew up the Red List, believe that the situation is now so bad that if action is not taken immediately, it will result in primate species becoming extinct - something which has not happened in over a century.
    The loss of habitat caused by the clearing of forests for wood, farmland and fuel continues to be the main reason for the declining number of primates, according to the report, and the problem was most severe in Asia.
    The loss of forest trees is also responsible for approximately 20 percent of all greenhouse gases - more than all the cars, trucks, trains and aeroplanes in the world combined.
    Mr. Mittermeier added, "By preserving the world's remaining forests, we save primates and protect other animals while preventing more pollution from entering the atmosphere to warm the climate."
    46．What is the main subject of the report discussed in the text?
    A．Climate change.         B．Loss of animal habitat.
    C．Endangered animals.       D．Animal protection.
    47．According to the text, when did an ape or monkey species last die out?
    A．In 1908．                B．In 2005.
    C．Over a hundred years ago.     D．Almost a hundred years ago.
    48．How many animals were on the Red List in 2005?
    A．19． B．22． C．25． D．28.
    49．The spokesman refers to 'a football stadium' in paragraph 5 to stress that ______.
    A．the animals enjoy playing sports
    B．there are not many of these animals left
    C．these animals should be placed there for protection
    D．the report was announced there
    50．What is the main cause of the greenhouse gas problem according to the text?
    A．Aeroplanes.           B．Road vehicles.   
    C．Factory pollution.        D．Loss of trees.

    The following is a recent survey among teenagers:
    Radio
    Most teenagers nowadays are not regular listeners to radio. They may occasionally tune in, but they do not try to listen to a program specifically. The main reason teenagers listen to the radio is for music, but now with online sites streaming music for free they do not bother, and users can choose the songs they want instead of listening to what the radio presenter/DJ chooses.
    Television
    Most teenagers watch television, but usually there are points in the year where they watch more than average. This is due to programs coming on in seasons, so they will watch a particular show at a certain time (as long as it lasts) but then they may watch no television for weeks.
    Teenagers are also watching less television because of services such as BBC iPlayer, which allows them to watch shows when they want. Whilst watching TV, adverts come on quite regularly (18 minutes of every hour) and teenagers do not want to watch these, so they switch to another channel, or do something else whilst the adverts run.
    Newspapers
    No teenager that I know of regularly reads a newspaper, as most do not have the time and cannot be bothered to read pages and pages of text while they could watch the news summarized on the Internet or on TV.
    Internet
    Every teenager has some access to the Internet, be it at school or home. Home use is mainly used for fun (such as social networking) whilst school (or library) use is for work. Most teenagers are heavily active on a combination of social networking sites. Facebook is the most common, with nearly everyone with an Internet connection registered and visiting >4 times a week. Facebook is popular as one can interact with friends on a wide scale.
    For searching the web, Google is the dominant figure, simply because it is well known and easy to use. Some teenagers make purchases on the Internet (on sites like eBay) but this is only used by a small percentage, as a credit card is required and most teenagers do not have credit cards. Many teenagers use YouTube to watch videos (usually anime which cannot be watched anywhere else) and some use it as a music player by having a video with the music they want to listen to playing in the background.
    Mobile Phones
    99pc of teenagers have a mobile phone and most are quite capable phones. Usually, teenagers only use their phones for texting, calling. Features such as video messaging or video calling are not used—because they are expensive.
    Services such as instant messaging are used, but not by everyone. It usually depends whether the phone is Wi-Fi compatible, because otherwise it is very expensive to get Internet off the phone network. As most teenagers’ phones have Bluetooth support, and Bluetooth is free, they utilize this feature often.
    Mobile email is not used as teenagers have no need; they do not need to be connected to their inbox all the time as they don’t receive important emails.
    小题1:   The survey carried out recently is mainly concerned with ______.
    A．how teenagers consume media
    B．what electric devices teenagers favor
    C．which new trend teenagers are following
    D．how teenagers contact others and make their social net
    小题2:   As is mentioned in the survey, the reason why teenagers watch less TV mainly lies in that ______.
    A．teenagers do not watch regular programs
    B．all the TV programs are on for only a few weeks
    C．teenagers may turn to other devices to watch their favorite
    D．the TV adverts coming on every channel are just the same
    小题3:   Which of the following is TRUE according to the survey?
    A．Radio presenter or DJ used to invite the listeners to choose the songs they want.
    B．The main source for teenagers to get news is Internet as well as newspapers.
    C．Google is the most common social networking sites due to its convenience.
    D．Some features of modern mobile phones are not widely used by teenagers.

    In November of 2007, NBC Universal launched its first official Green Week. Throughout the week, NBC Universal presented over 150 hours of environmentally themed content across multiple platforms.
    Now, NBC Universal is proud to present Green Week 2009. With a new theme and message of "Green Your Routine," Here at NBC and NBC.com we celebrate our talent in the "The More You Know" PSA campaign, presenting green-themed tips in several of our daytime life, among several other features here on the "Green Your Routine" site.
    Fashion & Beauty
    Throw a clothes swap party! Dying for that sweater your friend wore the other day? Well, maybe she'll trade for that old T-shirt you have. Here's a website that helps you organize a swap party (www.swapstyle.com), or just plan your own!
    Go natural with organic make-up. Applying unnatural products directly on your skin wasn't exactly what nature intended. Try switching to a line of organic make-up and cosmetics for a different way to bring out your natural beauty.
    Home
    Drop a brick in your toilet tank! Literally! According to the EPA, flushing makes up 30 percent of a household's water use (about three to six gallons per flush). By placing a brick in your toilet tank, you can help to conserve the amount of water used during each flush.
    Wash clothes efficiently. 90 percent of the energy used in washing clothes is to heat the water. You can reduce your energy bill by washing in cold water and hanging items to dry.
    Work
    Print smarter. Printing and copying can be one of the most costly operations in any office. To save on ink and paper costs, print double-sided and try to fit more than one page on a sheet. More printing tips can be found here: lifehacker.com
    Turn off your computer. Do you leave your computer on overnight? If so, you're using up a good amount of electricity. When you can, try turning off your computer and the power strip it's connected to. If you can't, at least shut off your monitor. Remember, screen savers don't save energy.
    Transportation
    Organize a carpool. There are many benefits to carpooling. You save on gas, reduce wear and tear on your car, and you get to ride in the HOV lanes. Get connected with your neighbours and co-workers to start sharing rides and check out this website for more tips: www.erideshare.com.
    Lose the car, get a bike. If you live close to where you work, try taking a bike instead of driving. You'll keep in shape and save on gas!
    Every small step and effort makes a difference! Be sure to GREEN YOUR ROUTINE!
    小题1:NBC Universal holds Green Week activities ___________.
    A．in a university B．in a parkC．in an officeD．on the internet
    小题2:This year, Green Week welcomes ____________.
    A．advice on how to improve the website
    B．suggestions about how to make their activities more interesting
    C．tips on what to do to make our life greener
    D．opinions on whether we should have campaigns
    小题3:If you want to carpool with somebody, you can find more advice and information at______.
    A. www.swapstyle.com                                            B. www.erideshare.com
    C. www. lifehacker.com                                           D. www. NBC.com
    小题4:Which is NOT recommended(推荐) by Green Week this year?
    A．Using things like cucumbers to beautify your skin.
    B．Reducing the room of your toilet tank to save water when flushing.
