For many years, she was only interested in

10、making money and material things. Then one day she had a serious car accident, which changed her life. Hill said: “I realized I wanted to find a more powerful purpose for being here on this planet.” As soon as she recovered, Hill traveled to California. There she saw ancient redwood trees, which are

11、 the largest trees in the whole world. The wood from redwood trunks is very hard. So the Pacific Lumber Company cut down many of the huge redwoods to use for construction. There are not many forests of these trees left. Many environmental activists want to protect the remaining trees. The redwoods a

12、re very important to the environment. In 1997 Hill learned a group called Earth First was working to protect a particular group of trees. They decided to send someone up into a redwood tree, hoping this would stop the company from cutting the trees down. Julia Butterfly Hill volunteered. Hill lived

13、in the tree for over two years without ever coming down. Her home was a 6-by-8-foot tree house, 180 feet up. It is always cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Hill was in the tree. The wind and cold almost knocked Hill out of the tree. But she did not fall

14、 she survived. Finally, after years of arguing, the company decided to protect Luna, the tree Hill lived in. They signed an agreement to never cut down this huge redwood tree or the trees around it. When Hill put her feet on the earth again, she began to cry. But from that moment on Hill hasnt stopp

18、y.Until now, it was widely believed that Europeans evolved from two prehistoric groups. One was early farmers who moved into Europe from the Middle East about 7,500 years ago. The other was local hunter-gatherers who had lived in Europe for more than 40,000 years. But a new study in the journal Natu

19、re says there was a third group in the mix: people from northern Eurasia. They lived in todays Russia and northern Asia. The finding means that northern Eurasians contributed to the human genes both in Europe and North America. Their influence on the Americas has been proved by previous studies whic

20、h showed that they reached modern-day Alaska in the US more than 15,000 years ago. They crossed an “ice bridge” that connected islands in the Bering Strait, a narrow passage of water between Asia and North America, at the time. Researchers collected genetic information in nine ancient humans bones.

21、The remains were found in Sweden, Luxembourg and Germany. They were one farmer from about 7,000 years ago and eight hunter-gatherers who lived about 8,000 years ago, before the coming of agriculture.The researchers compared the information with the gene pool of 2,345 present-day people living all ov

22、er the world. They found almost all Europeans have ancestry from all three of those ancient groups. The ancient northern Eurasians contributed up to 20% of the genetics of Europeans, although this was the smallest percentage among the three ancestral groups.People in northern Europe, especially the

23、Baltic states, have the highest percentage of western European hunter-gatherer ancestry. Up to 50% of the DNA of Lithuanians of northeast Europe comes from this group. Southern Europeans had more of their genetic ancestry from the ancient farmers. Up to 90% of the DNA of Sardinians of Italy can be t

24、raced back to these early European immigrants. Looking ahead, the researchers plan to find out when the ancient northern Eurasians arrived in Europe. 29. Ancient people from northern Eurasia _. A. brought agriculture into Europe B. reached Europe about 7,000 years ago C. were hunter-gatherers in nor

25、thern Asia D. were also ancestors of modern Europeans30. When did northern Eurasians arrive in America? A. About 7,500 years ago. B. About 8,000 years ago. C. More than 15,000 years ago. D. More than 40,000 years ago.31. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By analysing genes. B. By visitin

26、g ancient sites. C. By doing medical experiments. D. By comparing studies in different periods.D In a new move, doctors are using feature films in order to encourage their patients to talk more freely about their problems. Supporters of “film therapy （疗法）” say that discussing characters and plot lin

27、es from a proper film can help people to understand their feelings better.One of those using the method is Bernie Wooder, a doctor from Elstree, who charges 45 for a one-hour “film therapy” session. He said, “I was treating a woman who had been badly let down in a relationship, and who was experienc

28、ing such strong feelings that it was difficult for her to speak about them. I told her that her situation reminded me ofOn the Waterfront, when Marlon Brandos character realizes his brother is dishonest and he feels a great sense of betrayal . My patient identified so easily with him that she starte

29、d to cry. Watching and discussing the film unlocked all the feelings she had buried. Each time she watched and cried, she felt better.” Mr Wooder admits that film therapy does not work for everyone, but says he has used it successfully with about a third of his clients. “Through the films characters

30、, plots and even music, it allows people to face their problems.” He said thatFalling Down, in which Michael Douglas plays the part of an unemployed man who is so frustrated that he uses violence, was an example of the dangerous implications （后果） of not letting anger go. “I used this film with a pat

31、ient who was very upset because he was holding on to a lot of the anger he felt towards people who had frustrated him,” said Mr Wooder. “We talked about Michael Douglass character and the disastrous path he takes, and my patient then realized that he needed to let go of his feelings more regularly so as not to erupt like a time bomb.”32. What can we learn about Bernie Wooder? A. He used to be an actor. B. He likes to review different films. C. He is good at shari
