The Spotlight in Rio

‘prehistorical power’.＂ What she meant was that she had spared no efforts in the semi-final. Since then, the so-called ＂prehistorical power＂ has gone viral and become a new hot word.

A number of people have a poor sense of direction. Frankly, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circle and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way to someplace, I would say, ＂Sorry, I am a stranger here.＂
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at that moment!
5. The writer often refuses to give people directions because ____________. A. she is not familiar with the city wrong directions
C. she has no time to help others well
6. The word ＂embarrassed＂ in the last paragraph means ＂ ____________＂. A. 困惑的
B. 迷茫的
C. 尴尬的
D. 兴奋的
D. she doesn’t know the people
B. she is afraid of giving
7. The Friendship Building is the place where the writer ____________. A. studies works

August 8, was Earth Overshoot Day. Calculated annually by the environmental advocacy(支
B. teaches
C. lives
D.
持，拥护) group, Global Footprint Network (GFN), it is the day when human has consumed all the natural resources — produce, meat, fish, water, and wood — that our planet can regenerate(再生) in a single year. This means that for the rest of 2016, we will be using natural resources that are impossible to replace.
For those that are a little confused, it is similar to spending your entire year’s salary by August and then borrowing money from friends, knowing fully well that you cannot repay the loan(借款). GFN says that the same thing happens in the case of the Earth.
The date of Earth Overshoot Day varies each year. In an ideal, fully sustainable world, we should only spend what we have. This means that Earth Overshoot Day would fall on December 31, or perhaps even fall on the following year, indicating that we are saving some resources for a rainy day. That did happen in 1961, when we only consumed three-quarters of what the planet produced.
Unfortunately, the day has been going up rapidly since 2014 when it fell on August 19. In 2015, it was August 13, and this year, the earliest so far — August 8! The only way to sustain this demand would be to have 1.6 earths, which as we all know, is not possible.
Fortunately, experts say that the situation is not as grim as it sounds. Many countries are already taking steps to reduce carbon emissions, which accounts for 60% of our ecological footprint, by switching to solar or wind-generated power.
Individuals can also help by eating less meat, walking, biking, or taking public transportation, as well as adopting the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. If we all work together, we can help push back Earth Overshoot Day to December 31, or even beyond! 8. What did the author compare your entire year’s salary to? A. All the natural resources on the earth in a single year. B. All the natural resources that we can save in a single year.
C. All the resources that our planet can’t regenerate in a single year. D. All the natural resources that our planet can regenerate in a single year. 9. What can be learnt about Earth Overshoot Day from the text? A. The date of Earth Overshoot Day doesn’t vary each year. B. Earth Overshoot Day’s falling on December 31 is the best.
C. The earlier Earth Overshoot Day falls on, the more friendly to the earth we are.
