I thought she had stopped on the side of the road because of mechanical problems. The real reason was so much more inspiring.

Recently when the air turned warm and summery， I went for a drive through the local countryside. I had no destination in mind， but the sun was shining and the animals were out searching for food in the forest. What a great day！

Suddenly， I came upon a car on the side of the road. I watched an older woman get out of her car and walk down to the ditch （溝渠）. I thought she maybe had some mechanical or physical problems. I became concerned and decided to stop my car to see if I could be of any help. First I introduced myself， and then I asked if she was all right.

She told me that she had just stopped to pick up rubbish that some thoughtless traveler had thrown out of the window. She invited me to look inside her car and see how much trash she had already collected.

I told her that I wrote articles for the local paper and asked her if I could use her name to report what she did.“Oh my god！ No，” she said without thinking.“Im not doing this for recognition. We live in a beautiful country， and I try to do my little part to help keep it that way.”

So the next time you go out for a drive， be thankful that there are people out there who choose to protect the Earth. And consider taking some time to keep the roadside that you pass by clean. Youll get some exercise， fresh air and a good feeling knowing that you have done a lot to help keep our country beautiful.

You know the feeling—you have left your phone at home and feel anxious， as if you have lost your connection to the world.“Nomophobia （無手機(jī)恐懼癥）” affects teenagers and adults alike. Researchers from Hong Kong warned that Nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store， share and access personal memories suffer most.

“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached （依賴） to the devices，” said Dr Kim Ki Joon .“People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.” Meanwhile， an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.

So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety？ Professor Mark Griffiths， psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University， says it is what is on the phone that matters—the social networking that creates Fomo （ fear of missing out）.

“We are talking about an Internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives，” says Griffiths.“You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is ingrained in this device.”

Griffiths thinks attachment theory， where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives， is a small part of Nomophobia. For “screenagers”， it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety.

28. What can we learn about smartphones according to Joons words in Paragraph 2？

A. They have become part of users.?? B. Addiction to them leads to poor memories.

C. We waste too much time on them. ?D. They are closely linked with blood pressure.

29. Why do we get Nomophobia according to Griffiths？

A. We are used to having a phone on us.

B. We need our phones to store information.

C. We are anxious about falling behind others.

D. We are afraid of missing what our friends are doing.

30. The underlined phrase “ingrained in” in Paragraph 4 probably means “___”.

A. free of??? B. filled with??? C. related to??? D. dependent on

31. Where can you probably find the above text？

A. In a fashion book.?????? B. In a research report.

C. In a science textbook.????? D. In a science magazine.

Birds feathers are some of the most strikingly variable animal features that can be observed by the eyes. The patterns that we see in birds feathers are made up of combinations of scales， bars， and spots.

We already know why birds have colored feathers. Generally， the color of feathers may protect a bird from being noticed by the enemy in the environment， or it can make a bird more appealing to potential mates by helping them to stand out. These aspects are well known. A greater mystery has been how the patterns are created.

Dr Ismael Galván and his team studied the color of feathers to see what types of colors were present in birds' complex feather patterns. The study shows they mainly consist of two types of colors： melanin （黑色素）， which produces a range of black， grey， brown， and orange color， and carotenoids （類胡蘿卜色素）， which are used to create brighter colors.

Birds cannot produce carotenoids on their own. For feathers with bright colors， birds must consume food items that contain these paints， and the carotenoids circulate through the blood to the feather. Melanin， on the other hand， is produced by special cells in the birds' bodies.

The team found that about 32% of the species studied have complex color patterns， with the vast majority of these complex patterns produced by melanin rather than carotenoids. If the birds were artists， they would use carotenoids as a broad brush to produce color patches （斑）， with melanin as a detail paint brush to produce more complex designs.

But a few birds are exceptions to this rule： Three bird families do have complex patterns without melanin.

32. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to？

A. The color.? B. The enemy.?? C. The feather.?? D. The environment.

33. What will happen if birds can't get enough carotenoids？

A. They'll be discovered more easily.? B. They'll get less bright colors.

C. They'll gradually die out.???? D. They'll have more spots.

34. What can we learn from Paragraph 5？

A. Birds have complex color patterns.

B. Birds are expert in painting colors.

C. Melanin plays a greater part in birds' colors.

D.32% of the color patterns come from carotenoids.

35. What can be the best title for the text？

A. How Do Birds Get Their Colors？? B. Which Color Is Common to Birds？

C. Why Birds Have Colored Feathers？? D. How Do Birds Tell Different Colors？
