19、earts-a green elephant tie! With his glasses at the tip of his nose, he greeted us cheerfully，“Good morning, folks!” He was strange and unique and he brightened every day for us.

21、ssmates were not into this at all. But for me, a girl of 12, it was a discovery. An awakening. Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eye, staring at my wild musical-note shirts as I greet them with a joyful, “Good morning, class!” I wonder if my student wait and wonder what crazy music
22、clothes I will wear each day. I glance at my 2019 Teacher of the Year Award, which I received for being a dynamic teacher.

C Experts like to say the best form of exercise is whatever kind youll actually do. But that may not always be the
26、case; new research finds that people who combine exercise with their social lives - 6 - may be at an advantage over solitary(独自)exercisers. Tennis, badminton and soccer are all better for longevity(长寿)than cycling, swimming, jogging or gym exercise, according to the research. The study was based on
27、data from about 8,500 adults who were part of the Copenhagen City Heart Study. They completed a health and lifestyle questionnaire, which included questions about type and frequency of physical activity, and were monitored by the researchers for around 25 years, a period during which about 4,500 of
28、the subjects died. Tennis came out on top in the research. Compared with people sitting all day, those who reported playing tennis as their main form of exercise could expect to add 9.7 years to their life time, followed by badminton (6.2 years), soccer (4.7 years), cycling (3.7 years), swimming (3.
29、4 years), Jogging(3.2 years).

30、ur exercise.” But he adds that the study may not have been able to fully account for the fact that wealthier, better-educated people-who tend to be healthier to begin with-may be more likely to play tennis. Activities like running and weight lifting still extend your life and offer plenty of other h
31、ealth benefits. But for the best possible benefits, O Keefe says gym-goers may want to consider combining those workouts with activities that foster social connection.

Wealth and education. 31. What does O Keefe do after the finding? A. He puts the theory into practice.

D California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素). The number of trees
35、 larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests，the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the nu
36、mber of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent. Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into
37、the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源). But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a wides
38、pread death of big trees that was evident even in wild lands protected from woodcutting or development. The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water tree
39、s were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪). Since the 1930s, McIntyre said， the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause
40、trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season. 32. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California. B. The increasing variety of California big trees. C. The distribution
41、 of big trees in California forests. D. The influence of farming on big trees in California. 33. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees? A.
