21、Thanks to its cold environment, Antarctica remained largely untouched by humans for thousands of years. However, since the 1990s, the last true wilderness on the planet is becoming an increasingly popular destination for adventure-seeking tourists. Now, a new study states that the visitors may be leaving behind harmful bacteria(细菌) which could devastate the area’s native bird population.
Researchers believed that the Antarctic creatures were not affected by the danger due to the continent’s extreme weather. However, microbiologist Marta Cerdà-Cuéllar was not convinced this was true. She and some colleagues decided to examine samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human bacteria. To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves. This was no easy task. If they missed catching a skua at first go, the bird never came close again.
It took the scientists four years, from 2008—2011, to collect fecal(粪便) samples of 666 adult birds from 24 local species. The results of their study revealed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste.
"While we should do as much as possible to reduce transmission, it’s hard to believe that we will stop tourism and science at these sites, and so it is hard to believe that humans won’t continue to transmit pathogens(病原体)." said Kyle Elliott.
Experts, including González-Solís, believe the only way to prevent the mass destruction of the birds, is to introduce stricter regulations or, at least, obey the ones already in place. For example, while the Antarctica Treaty states clearly visitors carry their waste back home to protect the original environment, the regulation is rarely obeyed. Hopefully, officials will take steps to protect the easily hurt birds before it’s too late.
【1】What does the underlined word "devastate" in Para. 1 mean?
A.Increase.
B.Destroy.
C.Affect.
D.Block.
【2】What can be said about scientists finding the waste from the birds?
A.This was not an easy task.
B.This proved their conclusion.
C.Their tempers contributed a lot.
D.They found polluted human bacteria.
【3】How does Kyle Elliott feel when mentioning reducing tourism?
A.Hopeless.
B.Difficult.
C.Impossible.
D.Delighted.
【4】What is the author’s suggestion to protect Antarctica birds?
A.Make new strict rules.
B.Quit the Antarctica Treaty.
C.Take measures as soon as possible.
D.Encourage officials to strengthen cooperation.

24、Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把……归类) as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.
Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (暗中的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.
Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
【1】According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our __________.
A. friendly relationship B. financial rewards
C. advertising ability D. self-respect 21*com
【2】The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to __________.
A. lying B. cheating
C. stealing D. advertising
【3】How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?
A. We’ll be very excited.
B. We’ll have a sense of honor.
C. We’ll feel unfortunate.
D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Happiness through Honorable Actions
B. Importance of Peacefulness
C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect
D. How to Live Truthfully
