Scientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color1 from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, theyhaltthe interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.
Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.
To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of
the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.
In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.
4. What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean?
A. End.
B. Develop.
C. Strengthen.
D. Weaken.
5. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?
A. Restore the damaged reefs.
B. Grow corals by hand underwater.
C. Create more protected areas.
D. Move corals to unpolluted areas.
6. What do Gunning's words suggest?
A. Many corals have been genetically improved.
B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.
C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking.
D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Relationship between corals and algae
B. Efforts made to save corals
C. Impact of climate warming on corals
D. Survival crisis faced by coral reefs

A new look for technology, Solestrom’s new high-tech swimsuits promise to stand out all summer long. First in their new products is Solestrom’s new SmartSwimCMUV Smart Bikini featuring a smart UV meter.
The bikini collects UV information through a smart fabric belt and reports the UV index to the wearer with 0.01 exactness. The electronic parts are neatly built into the removable belt, and can be worn even underwater. Next in the list is a lower cost cousin, the SmartSwimCMUV Index Detector Bikini, which has UV sensitive beads that change color1 with the level of UV intensity. The reading gives more of a range rather than an exact number, but for those who simply need to know if the UV is low, moderate or high, this bikini fits the bill.
It is now available in Banana Split, more color1 s may become available later in the season. And finally, what could be better than a beach tote with built in energy source? No need to suffer dead batteries in your MP3, just plug them into your Solar Powered Beach Tote for on-the-go mobile charging. This beach tote combines fashion and functionality all in one, lightweight and roomy beach accessory. A built in solar panel charges fully most small electronics in only 2-3 hours of sunlight.

Mark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It's life-changing but it's not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”
After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”
When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.
The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical (辅助医疗的) tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Using flesh-toned (肉色的) inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients' view of themselves.
Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.
“Plastic surgery gave me no hope,” she says. “So I looked for other options.” She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano. He hid Pollan's lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence.“ You don't understand until you've been through it,” Pollan says. “It made me have a different look on life.”
Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn't charge for paramedical tattoos. “Financially, it doesn't make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see that emotion from my customers, I'm 100 percent sure this is something that I can't stop doing.”
12. What best describes people's attitude when first hearing of fingernail tattoos?
A. Indifferent.
B. Ridiculous.
C. Confident.
D. Surprised.
13. What did Catalano do to help Leslie Pollan?
A. He drew an artistic puppy.
B. He inked scars on her face.
C. He created a lip tattoo.
D. He performed plastic surgeries on her.
14. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Cosmetic surgery is of no use.
B. Tattoos earn Mark Bertram a good fame.
C. Catalano is a kind and generous person.
D. Fingernail tattoos are popular around the world.
15. What could be the best title for the text?
A. A Life-changing Event
B. Miracle Tattoos
C. An Amazing Artist
D. A Promising Business

My high school life will over, but the coming-of-age ceremony still stays in my mind.
That day we came to school early than usual and gathered in the front of the teaching building. We first went through a red gate made of balloons, that indicated we had become adult. Our parents were invited to be present and sat beside me. After the headmaster made a speech, we were required to exchanging our letters with our parents. As tears roll down our cheeks, we began to hug our parents tightly because we realized they loved us so deep.
The activity reminded us that we were no longer children from then on. We should study even harder to bring about our best qualities.
