A Letter from Earth
Dear Homo Sapiens,
As you mark off another “Earth Day” in your calendars, 36 that for at least 24 hours I remained in your thoughts, I wanted to remind you that I am sick. I’m frightened that 37 I can’t soon receive the appropriate medicine and care I need, my illness will become terminal 38 all cures.
So, I am asking for your help!
Geologists (地质学家) 39 that I have been in 40 for 4.5 billion years. Current estimates show that I have given a home to approximately 8.7 million different 41 . Currently over 7.4 billion of my inhabitants (居民) are one species 42 , you, or Homo Sapiens to be more precise. In millennia gone by, we lived in 43 with one another. Your ancestors would take only what they needed from me and in return nurture and protect my fragile environment.
Like a proud parent, I have watched in wonder as you 44 in abilities and intellect. You have travelled to outer space, developed medical cures for the most troublesome illnesses, built great cities and 45 technology…
But at what cost?
Did I do something to 46 you? Was there a point in our mutual (相互的) history where you 47 that we were no longer equals? Am I only now a commodity to you? Why would you pollute my rivers and oceans? Why would you 48 poisonous smokes into our environment, causing me to 49 ? Surely you would not do this intentionally; it would make no 50 .
I don’t wish to believe that you have become increasingly 51 . I would like to think that you have 52 lost your way, 53 other species have before you. I have faith that like a 54 teenager, you just need the opportunity to return home and visit for a while. Many of you have begun to recycle the waste you consume and look at 55 methods of renewable energy.
If you are not one of these people yet, then I would encourage you to be mindful of me.
Your friend, always
Earth

Canada Apprentice (学徒) Loan Basics
The Canada Apprentice Loan is available to help registered Red Seal apprentices cover the cost of their training.

●The Government of Canada offers apprentices
registered in a Red Seal Trade apprenticeship program up to $4,000 per period of technical training.
●You can get Canada Apprentice Loans for up to 5 periods of technical training.
●Your loan will be interest-free for up to 6 years as long as you are confirmed as being registered in a Red Seal Trade apprenticeship program.
●You do not have to make any loan payments as long as your loan is in interest-free status.
Eligibility
To be eligible, you must meet all of these criteria:
●be a Canadian Citizen, Permanent Resident, or Protected Person;

●have already received 6 years of interest-free status.
56. Who will fail to get Canada Apprentice Loans according to the passage?
A. An apprentice who used to study in the province of Quebec.
B. An apprentice who got the Canadian Citizenship three years ago.
C. An apprentice who has been funded for technical training three times.

In sports, sometimes a player has to take one for the team. The same appears to be true in the plant world, where reduced individual growth can benefit the broader community. The findings from the University of Michigan’s Paul Glaum and André Kessler of Cornell University help explain the persistence (持续存在) of some plant communities when theory predicts they should go extinct(绝种的).
“We looked at how chemical defense cues (信号) from plants, meant to prevent herbivores (食草动物), can also prevent pollinators,” said Glaum, a doctoral student in the U-M Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. “The surprising model result is that while this can lead to fitness losses for individuals, the population effects can be positive for pollinators and plants under some circumstances.”
Many plants, including the wild tomato species used in this study, produce chemical compounds to repel (排斥) insect pests and other hungry herbivores. But those same chemical defenses can reduce the number of visits to the plant by pollinators such as bees, resulting in less pollination of individual plants and decreased growth.
“Biologists have puzzled over how such a costly defense mechanism (机制) can be maintained in these plant populations,” Glaum said. “How would a plant population with such a strategy persist?” Glaum and Kessler developed a computer model showing that decreased growth of individual plants can benefit overall populations and community resilience (恢复力) by indirectly controlling herbivore population growth. The results introduce mechanisms of persistence into communities previously found to be prone (易于遭受的) to extinction in theoretical models.
Tomatoes and other plants produce repellent chemicals called volatile (易挥发的) organic compounds in response to herbivore attacks. The presence of these so-called herbivore-induced volatile organic compounds can make the plant less attractive to pollinators, which can reduce pollen deposition (沉淀物) and negatively affect individual plants, an effect known as herbivore-induced pollinator limitation.
Previous modeling studies have looked at the direct effects of herbivory on a three-species community: flowering plant, pollinator and herbivore. Some of those studies predicted extinctions because growing herbivore populations would reduce the number of plants, limiting resources available to pollinators. In response, the pollinator population would decline, lowering plant reproduction.
58. According to the passage, the persistence of some plant communities may depend on __________.
A. chemical defenses of plants B. increased individual growth
C. reduced chemical compounds D. defense mechanisms of pollinators
59. The underlined word pollinator in Paragraph 2 probably refers to __________.
A. a kind of insects that help plants reproduce B. a kind of animals that eat plants
C. a process of forming a plant community D. a chemical that does harm to plants
60. Volatile organic compounds are __________.
A. less attractive to pollinators B. able to have negative effects on individual plants
C. known as herbivore-induced pollinator limitation D. chemicals produced by plants to attract herbivores
C
Most of us are already aware of the direct effect we have on our friends and family. But we rarely consider that everything we think, feel, do, or say can spread far beyond the people we know. Conversely (相反地), our friends and family serve as
