There was a lake near a forest in Sweden. The water in the lake was very clear
and everything is quiet and still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away, across the field, is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The brook〔小河〕flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half melted〔半融化〕snow from last winter on the ground.
The reason why the water is so clear, and everything is so quiet and still, is that most of the plant and animal life in and around the lake is dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects, which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark〔树皮〕, sick and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting something, but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year, the crop will be between 25 to 40 percent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.
All the death and destruction in this place are caused by the smoke out of factories and poisonous gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highway.
56. Why are there no animals or birds in or around the lake?
A．Because the area is polluted. B．Because the lake is quiet.
C．Because the weather is terribly cold. D．Because they have all been killed.
57. Why does the farmer have to plant a stronger kind of seed?
A．Because few plant life can stand the weather there.
B．Because the soil becomes less and less.
C．Because the soil there is becoming unfit for farming.
D．Because the water in the lake can’t be used to irrigate the field.
58. The underlined word “destruction〞 in the passage means _______.
A．being destroyed
B．being developed
C．being produced
D．being protected
59. What do you think is the best title for the passage?
A．A Beautiful Place of Interest. B．A Faraway Mountain Area.
C． A Polluted Place. D． A Quiet Placein Sweden.

Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the sea to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking
along the shore. As he looked down at the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer, he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?’’
The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfishes〔海星〕in the ocean.〞
“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?〞“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die〞
“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!〞The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a differen ce for that one.〞 There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our vision of the power 〔力量〕 to shape the future.

There was a correlation between the negative smells and negative emotional scores the sleepers reported from their dream.
According to the researchers, it’ll be interesting to study nightmare sufferers and if positive smells can actually influence the mood of their dreams as a form of treatment in the future.
