He asked me for some money so he could get something to eat. Id read the signs: “Dont give money to beggars.” So I shook my head

9、 and kept marching.I wasnt prepared for a reply, but he said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on marching.The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldnt have killed me to hand over a dollar o

10、r two even if he had been lying. On a freezing cold night, I still assumed the worst of a fellow human being.Flying back to Anchorage, I couldnt help thinking of him. I tried to seek excuses for my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Beside

11、s, youre not supposed to give money to beggars.Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Beans Caf, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my re

12、aders to plant one row in their gardens devoted to Beans?Before long my idea took off. People would fax me or call when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit. And relief for my conscience.As more and more people started working with the Plant a Row con

13、cept, many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo, which also arose in national gardening publications. Row markers with the Plant a Row logo were distributed to gardeners to set apart their “Row for the Hungry”.It is unexpected that millions of Americans are threatened by hun

14、ger. If every gardener in Americaand were seventy million strongplants one row for the hungry, we can lower the number of neighbors who dont have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped.24. Why did the author turn down the beggars reques

18、er Hesitate to Help Others D. Plant a Row for the Hungry CIn 2013 alone at least 20,000 African elephants were killed for their teeth. In South Africa over the last two years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns. These numbers are alarming, because current rates of illegal hunting are

19、faster than birth rates, which could lead to extinction for these ecologically important creatures in their environment. Indeed, some elephant and rhino populations are on track to be locally extinct within the next decade.If you are reading this, you may already be aware of these facts. But you mig

20、ht not know that wildlife trafficking(走私) not only threatens the existence of elephants and rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species, such as tigers, tortoises, sea turtlesand the worlds most trafficked mammalpangolins(穿山甲).Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in

21、 tough scales (鳞), which makes them look very strong. But actually they are endangered mammals. There are eight different species of pangolins, four in Asia and four in Africa, and all are threatened with extinction. Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live,

22、high demand in East Asia, where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in traditional medicines, is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts. The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking. Experts believe that over the last 10 ye

23、ars more than 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 2013 alone.In February, the United States released a plan to deal with wildlife trafficking, which lays out the steps we will take to fight the il

24、legal trade in wildlife, including pangolins. We are strengthening the carrying out of the plan; building international cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife; raising awareness to drive down the demand that is fueling the illegal trade.Get involved and remember World Wildlife Day (March 3

25、) by spreading the plan. Use social media and tell everyone that now is the time to get serious about wildlife crime and end the demand that threatens species, big and small, from the huge elephant to the shy pangolin.28.

27、 pangolins in East Asia.30. What can we know about the plan released by the US?A. Social media will be used to spread World Wildlife Day.B.

To raise awareness of protecting endangered wildlife.C. To explain why pangolins are illegally traded in East Asia.D. To show how the United States is

29、 to fight the illegal trade in wildlife.DWhen going through major life changes, like changing careers, I would change the people with whom I spent the most time. Weve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changedgraduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new

30、club, etc. I dont think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If youve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you change as well.Most people dont make these choices consciously though. You might consciously de

31、cide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.Theres no “getting rid of people”. People are always dropping into and out of each others lives. Associations grow into frien

32、dships, and friendships fade into associations. You dont get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty? Shouldnt you always be loyal to your friends? Once you have a close friend, even if their influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldnt you stick by them?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loya
