　　阅读理解he boy very much. When the boy was around two years old,

　　one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and put it back into the cupboard in the bathroom. However,

　　his wife,

　　busy,

　　in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.

　　The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle, fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to contain a kind of medicine for adults with poisonous and side effects. When the child broke down, the mother hurried him to the hospital. But he finally died. The mother was shocked. She was terrified how she was going to face her husband.

　　When the desperate father came to the hospital and saw the dead child,

　　he looked at his wife and voiced five words. The husband just said “I am with you,

　　Darling.” The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a positive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides,

　　if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away,

　　this would not have happened. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was comfort and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

　　If everyone can look at life with this kind of viewpoint,

　　there would be much fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies,

　　jealousies,

　　unforgiveness,

　　selfishness,

　　and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think. Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or whom to blame,

　　whether in a relationship,

　　in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

　　A．the husband was careless

　　B．the husband forgot it

　　C．the wife wasn't informed of the matter

　　D．the wife ignored the matter

　　17．What do we know about the bottle?

　　A．It contained poison only for adults.

　　B．It appeared like a nice drink.

　　C．It was broken by the child.

　　D．It was kept in the kitchen.

　　18．The husband's attitude towards his wife can be described as ________.

　　A．optimistic

　　B．confident

　　C．considerate

　　D．generous

　　19．What did the writer intend to tell us about life?

　　B．It is always useless finding who is responsible.

　　Increased carbon dioxide(CO2)in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth.

　　“Predicting species' reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology，” said the researchers of several ．study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1，634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated(低估) the speed of flowering by

　　4 times.

　　“Across all species, the experiments under­predicted the speed of the advance－for both leafing and flowering－that results from temperature increases，” the study said.plants will react to climate change, it said.

　　Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis(光合作用)to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.and nearly 0.2℃ every ten years since 1979.

　　So far, efforts to cut emissions(排放)of planet­gh to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2℃ this century—a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.
