It is created to copy a natural forest, bringing all its benef
16、its, but for a small space in cities. The first tiny forest was planted by a Japanese plant expert. Dr. Akira Miyawaki in the 1970s. It was so great that it grew quickly in countries such as Denmark, Britain, Germany, Ireland and Spain.As the name suggests, the place doesnt have to be big. An area t
17、he size of about 200 is perfect. 600 trees, with as many as 40 different kinds, can be planted in the place. With 2 to 7 trees every square metre, the trees are planted much more closely than the ones in normal forests. But theres still room for the trees to grow naturally without the use of fertili
18、zers.To plant a tiny forest, one starts with testing the soil and choosing right kinds of trees. In cities, the soil is often in poor condition. It is important to create loose and rich soil. When the soil is prepared, the community will invite school children on a planting day. The forests need 2 t
19、o 3 years of care from children. Then the trees can become self-growing. Its believed if children plant their own forest and spend a lot of time caring for it, they will grow up to be healthy adults with a sense of responsibility for the society.Trees and forests arent special pieces of nature that
20、should only exist in the countryside. They need to be a part of life in cities too.19. The idea of a tiny forest came from a scientist in _.A. BritainB. JapanC. GermanyD. Spain20. Whats special about a tiny forest?A. There are usually about 7 kinds of trees.B. It usually covers an area of about 600.
21、C. It grows quickly with the help of fertilizers.D. Trees are planted closely in small places in cities.21. Planting tiny forests can _.A. help children grow into responsible adultsB. tell children the way to test the soil conditionC. teach children knowledge about the communityD. let children exper
22、ience the life in the countryside22. What is the best title for the passage?A. Save the World with a Tiny ForestB. Tiny Forest: Great Hope far ChildrenC. Learn to Grow Your Own Tiny ForestD. Tiny Forest: Super Tiny, Super PowerfulCIts well-known that sunshine influences peoples health. And new resea
23、rch shows it may also make people eat morebut only if theyre male*.The finding is from Carmit Levy, a researcher who had been studying how sunlight affects the risk of skin diseases. She exposed* a group of mice to sunlight for a few weeks, and unexpectedly found that sunlight made male mice get hea
24、vier, but not females*. The males also worked harder to get food that was difficult to reach.That interested her, so Levy and her team did further studies. They invited volunteers for two tests. Both showed that men and women were affected differently by sunlight. Then, they got data from almost 3,0
25、00 people. These data told that 1,330 men required about 2,188 daily calories* in summer months and only needed 1,875 calories in other months. The 1.661 women needed about 1,500 calories each day all year long.Encouraged by this, the team ran more mouse experiments to test what might explain such f
26、indings. And the reason may be connected with these three things. The first is p53. Its levels will rise when the body is under stress. For animals that are usually active at night, such as mice, sunlight can be a cause of stress. The second key player is ghrelin. When the stomach is empty, it trave
27、ls to the brain to send the message that the body needs food. The last is estrogen*. Its levels are much higher in females than males.Heres what may happen in male mice exposed to sunlight. First, the stress of sunlight makes p53 in the skin start to work. This p53 then tells the skin to create ghre
28、lin. Therefore, the mice eat more. But in female mice, the estrogen seems to interfere the production of ghrelin. As a result,the female mice may not feel so hungry. Thats to say, estrogen provides females with a greater protection against various forms of stress.The idea that sunlight may affect th
29、e need for food is interesting. But being sure the key players and how they work with each other will require much more research.23. After exposing the male mice to sunlight for weeks. Levy found they _.A. gained some weightB. got food more easilyC. ate in a healthy wayD. suffered from skin diseases
30、24. Levys team did further studies on humans to _.A. encourage more people to form new eating habitsB. compare the eating habit of people with that of the miceC. see how many calories men and women need through a yearD. check if people are affected by sunlight in the same way as mice25. What docs th
31、e underlined word “interfere” probably mean?A. Waste.B. Reduce.C. Develop.D. Complete.26. What can we infer from the passage?A. The p53 in the skin of mice will rise when night falls.B. The ghrelin could make mices stomachs empty more quickly.C. The scientists have been able to control peoples need
32、for food.D. The estrogen may protect female mice from the stress of sunlight.DI had always wanted to be a bicyclist. It changed when I met Lizzie and her horse at twelve.One afternoon, I saw Lizzie looking up at a life-sized sculpture horse.“It needs a rider,” she turned to me. “Would you be the rid
33、er, Bonny?”“I cant.”“You can ride bikes. Its not that different. Youd just sit there. Id sketch you, sculpt you.” Later, I tried to sit on the horse.

36、 a comer of my studio. Hows that?”I followed her words and set to make my small sculpture, layer on layer. The more I did, the more I felt I belonged to this new world. With growing interest, I kept sculpting. _.Lizzie was working in the studio too. For minutes, a neck or leg would suddenly come to
37、life. “When you do it, its like magic,” I said.She replied, “No, Bonny. Not magic. Its a given thing, a talent from who knows where, who knows who. But once you discover you have it, whatever it is, its not to be wasted. Lifes too short to waste it.”Then came my summer holiday. I drew every day, boa
38、ts, gulls and fishermen. I made sculptures with wet sand. My parents seemed surprised at my new interest. I never had such a perfect holiday.Months later, a cardboard arrived to me in a post. It was of me sitting on the horse.So here I am, twenty years on, working as a sculptor. As I look out from m
