Ancient Fish Returns to Illinois Waters

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is returning a fish called the alligator gar to the state’s rivers.Some people call the fish a “living fossil.” Experts believe the fish first appeared during the Early Cretaceous period more than 100 million years ago.

Randy Sauer is an Illinois state fisheries biologist. He says the fish disappeared from the state’s rivers in the 1990s, although they have continued to do well in southern states. Sauer says biologists want to bring the fish back to northern rivers “because it is important to have top predators to balance the species below them,” he said.

Sport fishermen like to try to catch the alligator gar. Alligator gar are the second-largest freshwater fish in North America. They can grow as large as 2.7 meters and weigh more than 136 kilograms. Sauer says their large size is one reason they disappeared in the 1990s. Experts say alligator gars are “opportunistic feeders.” This means they will eat almost anything -- including small turtles or ducks. They also eat invasive species such as Asian and silver carp. Sauer hopes the re-introduction of the alligator gar will help the state’s efforts to control the carp. Because gar can live up to 60 years, the program will continue to increase for many years.

Sauer notes that female alligator gars do “not sexually mature until 11 years, and the male not till 6 or 7 years.”That means the biologists will try to raise and release a lot of fish early in the program to re-introduce them.

We’re probably going to stock more heavily than 10 or 20 years down the road when hopefully these fish will find each other and start doing the job on their own,” Sauer says.

Small devices have been placed in 7,000 of the fish so they can be observed after they are released into the waterways of Illinois. As it rains and floods, biologists expect some of the fish will follow the rivers into the states of Louisiana and Texas.

1.why people call the alligator gar“living fossil”?

A. They can grow up to 2.7 meters.

B. They can grow up to 136 kilograms.

C. Their fossil can be found on earth.

2.Biologists will bring the alligator gar back to northern rivers in order to______.

A. keep the species balance.

B. help people make more money.

C. help to protect the environment.

D. increase the number of the alligar gar.

3.According to Randy Sauer, alligar gar died out in northern rivers probably because _______.

A. they ate almost anything.

B. they were caught by sport fishermen.

C. they were very huge in size.

D. the rivers were polluted then.

4.What can we learn from the underlined statement?

A. It will be decades before these fish produce young.

B. There is a long way to go before the fish find each other.

C. 10 or 20 years will be needed to find these fish.

D. These fish can find each other themselves along the waterways.

If you look on the Internet, you will see that almost every day of the year celebrates some kind of food. These “holidays” have become very popular across the United States. They often are trending stories on Twitter, and described in the U.S. media. They give people a chance to enjoy something they might not eat normally, like National Onion Ring Day, for example.Food holidays also give restaurants and other businesses a chance to promote their products.

But where did these distinctly American “holidays” come from?

Many are the invention of an Alabama man, John-Bryan Hopkins. He writes about food for his Foodimentary.com website.Hopkins told Time magazine that when he began his site in 2006, there were only 175 “holidays.” “I filled in the rest,” he said. Some of his favorites are National Oreo Cookie Day on March 6 and National Tater Tot Day on February 2.

The National Day Calendar has a list of all the different food and non-food related “holidays.” In the past, the website used to let anyone create their own day -- for a price. But now, the site only accepts requests from businesses and other organizations.

While some food “holidays” are indeed made-up, many have historical roots. For example, National Beer Day on April 7 marks the end of a U.S. ban on the production, transport, import and sale of alcoholic drinks. The ban lasted from 1920 until 1933. The Salvation Army, a Christian group, launched U.S. National Doughnut Day on June 1, 1938. It was meant to honor women who served soldiers doughnuts during World War I.

But not everyone likes food holidays.Bethany Jean Clement is a food writer for the Seattle Times newspaper.She wrote, “I get that some people might be excited by, say, National Doughnut Day.But you really can have a doughnut any day you want!”

Tavi Juarez, of Foodimentary.com, thinks national food holidays are here to stay. She told the Seattle Times, “In my humble opinion, I believe that food holidays will continue to grow in popularity online. Because there’s a lot of negativity out there, why not choose to celebrate food instead?”

1.What can we learn about food holidays from Paragraph 1?

A. People can enjoy their favorite food on the holidays.

B. Restaurants will make much money during the holidays.

C. People can eat any food they want on the holidays.

D. Only special food are served on the holidays.

2.When did the first National Beer Day probably begin?

A. In 1920    B. In 1933

C. In 1913    D. In 1938

3.How many food holidays are mentioned in the passage?

A. Four    B. Six

C. Five    D. Three

4.What advice does Tavi Juare give in the last Paragraph?

A. Celebrating food holidays.

B. Celebrating food instead of food holidays.

C. To reduce the negativity of food holidays.

D. To support food holidays online.

Ever happened to have a stranger looking at you with eyes full of anger out of the blue?

It was painful and confusing, but sure a great lesson. First thing that passed through my mind was that it must be a misunderstanding, such a look was not meant for me, but later I saw the old lady’s face changing every time she saw me, at least seven times, no more doubt that she was very angry with me.

I was confused, shocked, and near anger, my brains were spinning, trying to figure out how’s and why’s but somehow managed to not show it on my face. Went home, slept a night over it and decided that I have to find a way to make peace with this lady.

The very next day I bought some nice chocolate praying to see her again and when I caught sight of her, went straight to her and apologized telling her “I am so very sorry if I angered you, I had no such intention, please accept my apologizes”, and handled her the chocolate. Surprised, she told me not to mind her, and apologized too. It was an awkward moment, but we made peace and the embarrassment is replaced by smiles now.

I am very grateful for this experience, it shows me I still have plenty of work to do with my mind, I learned how it is not easy to take knowledge of, accept and forgive acts that we may feel as unfair, and it taught me of possibilities about fixing a conflict. Best advice to keep for myself?

Smog is a form of air pollution that is produced in the atmosphere when sunlight reacts with at least one volatile organic compound (VOC). When this reaction occurs, particles (微粒)are formed in the atmosphere, and oxygen at the ground level takes in harmful chemicals, thus creating what we consider smog. Recent years have seen an increase in campaigns for the reduction of smog due to its harmful effects towards both humans and the environment. 1.

Avoid high VOC products. VOCs are chemicals that easily escape into the atmosphere through common use around the house. Check the household products to determine if they contain VOCs. 2. If you must store some, do so in a tightly covered, original container so that VOCs can’t get out.

Avoid gas-powered yard equipment. Gasoline emissions are one of the major causes of smog — whether from cars or lawn equipment. Try environment-friendly lawn equipment that can be powered electrically. You can also change the material in your yard. 3.

4. When you choose products that are made in the place where you live, it cuts down on the cost of transport which reduces emissions. Local farmers' markets and grocery stores can help you determine where items were produced. There are even many restaurants that are joining the movement towards supporting locally grown items.

Be energy efficient in your home. The less energy you use at home, the fewer pollutants that go into the atmosphere. There are many ways to reduce energy use including through lighting, heating and cooling. 5.

A. Buy local products.

B. Shop for green products.

C. It is high time that we changed our habits to make a difference.

D. There are alternatives that look real, but require less care and attention.

E. If you must use them, buy in small quantities that can be used quickly.

F. Make a community garden. Grow vegetables and fruit for your community.

G. For example, try equipment that resets temperatures on its own while you're away.
