Do you know how discipline can help you achieve your goals? Do you know that discipline is important to 36 ? What is the power of discipline? How to become disciplined? You might think that many people are not self disciplined, 37 I?m going to prove to you that people in

general are disciplined, but 38 , in non-beneficial ways. There are many people who smoke daily 39 the fact that it is harmful and 40 and it could kill them. Such people are disciplined at 41 cigarettes and smoking. There are people who are disciplined at drinking lots of alcohol daily. Such people are disciplined at consuming alcohol. Do you 42 where I am going with this?

One of my friends who has a 43 for running spends half an hour every single morning running. Whether it is snowing or raining, she has to run. This is the kind of 44 discipline that you are supposed to 45 and create in your life.

Do you know someone who bought a book, but didn?t finish 46 it for some reason? Do you know someone who decided to improve his 47 and start eating more vegetables and fruit, but after two weeks, he 48 ? These are all examples of 49 of discipline. If you are not disciplined，then you will have a hard time to get your 50 . As I mentioned in my book “The ultimate guide to achieving your goals” that you could know what you want, 51 and take action, but if you are not self-disciplined, you will 52 give up. With discipline, you can start getting up early in the morning, exercise, and 53 yourself of the non-beneficial habits such as smoking and eating non-healthy food. With discipline, you can change negative habits to positive habits. With discipline, you can join the gym and start working on having a 54 body. Do you see what the 55 of discipline can do?

Scientists from the University of East Anglia have identified four new man-made gases that are contributing to the damage to the ozone layer. Two of the gases are accumulating at a rate that is causing concern among researchers.

Worries over the growing ozone hole have seen the production of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases restricted since the mid 1980s. But the precise origin of these new, similar substances remains a mystery.

2

Lying in the atmosphere, the ozone layer plays a critical role in blocking harmful UV rays, which cause cancers in humans and reproductive problems in animals.

Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey were the first to discover a huge \in the ozone over Antarctica in 1985. The evidence quickly pointed to CFC gases, which were invented in the 1920s, and were widely used in refrigeration. Extraordinarily, global action was rapidly agreed to deal with CFCs and the Montreal Protocol to limit these substances came into being in 1987. A total global ban on production came into force in 2010.

Now, the newly discovered four new gases can destroy ozone and are getting into the atmosphere from as yet unidentified sources. Three of the gases are CFCs and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), which can also damage ozone.

The research has shown that four gases were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s, which suggests they are man-made. The scientists discovered the gases by analyzing polar snow pack. Air from this snow is a natural archive of what was in the atmosphere up to 100 years ago. The researchers also looked at modern air samples, collected at remote Cape Grim in Tasmania.

They estimate that about 74,000 tonnes of these gases have been released into the atmosphere. Two of the gases are accumulating at significant rates. However, they don't know where the new gases are being released from and this should be investigated. Possible sources include chemicals for insecticide production and solvents（溶液） for cleaning electronic components. The three CFCs are being destroyed very slowly in the atmosphere - so even if emissions were to stop immediately, they will still be around for many decades to come.

Of the four species identified, CFC-113a seems the most worrying as there is a very small but growing emission source somewhere, maybe from agricultural insecticides. We should find it and take it out of production. 56. What do we know about the newly discovered gases?

A. Some are surely produced by the development of agriculture. B. The CFCs will have a long impact once they are released. C. They gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed. D. Their amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.

57. The underlined word \ A. state B. resource C. phenomenon D. storeroom 58. What will the scientists probably attempt to do about the gases next?

A. Find out what can replace things like insecticides and put them into use. B. Find out how they destroy ozone and get rid of those in the atmosphere. C. Find out where they are exactly from and stop them from being released. D. Find out if HCFC is more harmful than CFCs and take proper measures.

A new study revealed that the formation of the Earth, Sun and Moon that cause changes in Earth?s tides can also trigger a special kind of Earthquake along the California?s San Andreas Fault(断层）.

The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science，is based on previous researcher suggesting that the gravitational tug of sun and moon is not only affecting the sea levels of Earth, but can also stretch and compress that Earth?s crust, producing tremors and quakes. Furthermore, the new study showed that small tremors deep underground were more likely to occur during certain periods of the tidal cycle.

For the study, the researchers looked at about 81,000 low-frequency earthquakes from 2008 to 2015 along the Park field section of the San Andreas Fault and compared it to the two-week tidal cycle known as the “fortnightly tide，” Low-frequency earthquakes are named due to the rumbling sound they make and not by the rate of its occurrence. These kinds of earthquake only occur about 15 to 30 kilometers below ground and are no larger than magnitude 1 in the Richter scale.

The researchers discovered that low-frequency earthquakes tend to occur during the waxing period of the tidal cycle, when the tides are getting little by little. It is already known that the strongest Earth tides occur when the sun and moon are in a straight line, while the tide is at its weakest state when the sun and moon are 90 degrees apart.

According to the researchers, low-frequency earthquakes show that some part of the San Andreas Fault is creeping, or slowly moving, almost all the time. With the help of the tidal forces, low-frequency earthquakes could provide more information about the deeper part of the fault.

“They tell us that the fault continues down below where the regular or typical earthquakes stop on the San Andreas, about 10 or 12 km (about 6 to 7 miles),” said David Shelly, a seismologist at USGS and helped write the study, in a statement. “And they tell us a lot of things about that deep part of the fault that we had no idea existed at all before.”

“It?s almost like having a lot of little creep meters embedded in the fault，“Shelly said. “We can use these low-frequency earthquakes as measurements of, at least in a relative sense, how much slip is happening at each little spot on the deep part of the fault where we see these events. When we don?t see them, we don't know what?s happening; we don?t know whether it，s slipping silently or not slipping at all.”

The information is incredibly useful, he added. Whenever the deep part of the fault slips, the stress gets transferred to the shallow part of the fault.

“So if all of a sudden, we saw that the deep part of the fault was slipping a huge amount, it might be an indication that there was an increased chance of having an earthquake come at the shallower part of the fault” he said.

61. What causes tremors and quakes according to the passage? A. The formation of the Earth, Sun and Moon. B. The change of the sea levels of Earth.

C. The effect of the gravitational tug of sun and moon on Earth?s crust. D. The movement of creeping in the deep part of the San Andres Fault. 62. The underlined word ?\

A. the researchers B. the tidal forces

C. the low-frequency earthquakes D. the typical earthquakes 63. Low-frequency earthquakes occur when_.

A. the tides are getting bigger gradually B. the sun and moon are in a straight line C. the sun and moon are 90 degrees apart D. the San Andreas Fault moves slowly 64. According to Shelly, the most important function of the study is_. A. to find out where the typical earthquakes occur B. to indicate when the regular earthquakes occur C. to uncover how low-frequency earthquakes occur

D. to offer more information about the deeper part of the fault

Sir Nicholas Winton, rescuer of children, died on July 1st,2015,aged 106.

When the letters and the honor came knocking on the door of his house in Maidenhead, and the filmmakers came calling, Nicholas Winton always protested that he was no hero. Heroes faced danger; he never had. They put their lives on the line; he had just worked at home in Hampstead, after a day being a stockbroker in the City. They avoided bullets and the secret police; he wrote letters, made telephone calls，and composed lists.

The fact that he had rescued 669 children from Czechoslovakia just as the Nazis invaded did not, in his mind, constitute heroism. He hadn?t gone out there in 1938 with any burning urge to do good; just for a holiday, in fact. Nor had he gone looking for children to rescue. Instead they and their parents had come to him, as soon as word got round that he might be able to help them leave Prague and get to the West. From 6.00 a.m. the knocks would come at the door of his room in the Europa Hotel, and he would open it to find some shivering, starving, desperate figure.

When faced with a problem, his instinct was to solve it. So he made lists of the children, took their photographs, got them Home Office entry permits, found them foster families and organised their departure on trains, via the Netherlands, to Liverpool Street. After just three weeks in Prague, he went back to Britain and carried on the work from there.
