They found that selective logging (砍伐) and __19__ wildfires can result in an annual loss of 54 billion tons of carbon from the Brazilian Amazon, increasing green-house gas emissions. This is __20___ to 40 percent of the yearly carbon loss from deforestation (滥伐森林)- ---when entire forests are chopped down.

This is the largest ever study__21__above and below-ground carbon loss from selective logging and ground level forest fires in the tropics, based on data from 70,000 samples tress and thousands of soil, litter and dead wood samples from 225 sites in the eastern Amazon.

The forest degradation often starts with logging of prized trees such as mahogany. The falling and __22__ of theses trees often damages dozens of neighboring trees.

Once the forest has been logged, the many gaps in the canopy (林冠) mean it becomes much drier due to __23__ to the wind and sun, increasing the risk of wildfires spreading inside the forest.

The __24__ of selective logging and wildfire damage turns primary forests into a thick scrub full of smaller trees and vines, which stores 40 percent less carbon than __25__ forests.

So far, climate change policies on the tropics have __26__ focusing on decreasing carbon emissions from deforestation only, not __27__ for emissions coming from forest degradation.

Lead researchers Dr. Erika Berenguer from Lancaster University said: “The impacts of fire and logging in tropical forests have always been largely __28__ by both the scientific community and policy makes who are primarily concerned with deforestation. Yet our results show how these disturbances can severely degrade the forest, with huge amounts of carbon being transferred from plant matter straight into the atmosphere.”

III. Reading comprehension. Section A

Directions: For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

Here’s some good news for parents of teens and teens: You rule.

That may be hard to believe sometimes. And it’s true kids won’t always follow your health and safety rules. But studies show parents who keep setting __29__ make a huge difference.

The latest example is a survey on __30__ use by the Kaiser Family Foundation. It found that typical kids ages 8 to 18 spend a(n) __31__ 7 hours and 38 minutes a day consuming entertainment media, indulging deeply in TV, computers, games, cellphones, music players and other devices while __32__ glancing at books and other non-electronic media. Many experts, including the pediatrics (小儿科) academy, consider that much __33__ time bad for mental and physical health.

But the study also found that kids whose parents set any time or __34__ limits were plugged in for three hours less each day. “Parents can have a big influence,” says Kaiser researcher.

“The reality is that teenagers care deeply what their parents think,” says Kenneth Ginsburg, a specialist of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “The challenge for parents is to __35__ rules and boundaries in a way that doesn’t feel controlling.”

Research shows that parents who set __36__ rules but explain and enforce in a warm supportive way work better than those who set no rules, __37__ to enforce them or rule with a “because I said so” iron grip (控制).

__38__, “kids understand the rules are about their well-being and safety,”

Ginsburg says.

Still, achieving just-right parenting is “challenging”, says Margaret Broe-Fitzpatrick, a teacher in Kensington, Md., who has four children, ages 8 to 16. “There are so many different things to __39__.” She and her husband keep their kids busy with sports and other activities, limit screen time and __40__ the music their children download. They talk with their 16-year-old son about the rules he’ll face when he gets a driver’s license soon. But, she says, they can’t __41__ everything the kids encounter on the Internet or in friends’ homes.

“We’re just doing the best we can,” she says, “even if young people may protest at first, they do feel more safe and secure when limits are set.”
