Waiting for Eden by Elliot Ackerman
This brief novel, which is published by Knopf, is related by a dead soldier who is watching over a horribly burned partner in a Texas hospital. That sounds embarrassingly emotional, but Ackerman, who served in a navy in Iraq and Afghanistan, is one of the best soldier-writers of his generation.
All You Can Ever Know by Nicole Chung
Chung, the editor of the literary magazine Catapult, was adopted as a baby by a family in Oregon. In this memoir, she writes about her childhood, her Asian-American identity and her search for the Korean parents who gave her up. It is published by Catapult.
Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver
Alternating between past and present, this novel tells the story of a woman investigating a late-19th-century science teacher who was caught up in the controversy over Darwinism. Like her other novels, this one promises to explore social and scientific problems. This book comes from the publishing house named Harper.

The word on Acadia National Park is always"sunrise".The chance to see the sunrise from a top Cadillac Mountain-at 1,530 feet, the highest point on the US Atlantic coast-draws huge crowds, But Acadia offers treats for night owls(猫头鹰)as well.
In addition to campfire parties and other programs, forest keepers lead stargazing (观星)hikes throughout the summer.Then in September, Acadia hosts its annual Night Sky Festival.
John Kelly, management assistant at the park, says the annual Night Sky Festival offers activities inside and outside the park ranging from the"fun and silly" to the" highly scientific", "September's the clearest month, "Kelly says."It's a great month to do stargazing."
Kelly has a couple of tips for people planning a trip to the Maine coast, First, Acadia is one of a half-dozen or so parks that allow you to buy passes online in advance.Avoid lines by buying a seven-day pass at yourpassnorw.com.The National Park Service plans to add other parks to the website, Kelly says, so keep an eye on it for your travel planning.
Also, Kelly recommends using the Island Explorer Bus system, which links hotels, inns and campgrounds with key park destinations, including hiking trails, carriage roads and island beaches.Cyclists, joggers and walkers will enjoy the 45 miles of carriage roads, traffic-free small stone surfaces that were funded and designed by philanthropist John D.Rockefeller Jr.to highlight the beautiful lakes and mountain views in the park.
Finally, Kelly advises planning your travel to avoid large crowds.For instance, Cadillac Mountain may be the big draw for sunrise and sunset, but Kelly says, "Ocean Drive is empty and quiet and offers just as great a view as Cadillac Mountain does."

The state of the world's plants is not strong. One in five plant species faces the risk of disappearance, according to a report. And such loss of plant variety could have destructive influences on our own plant uses.
"Plants are extremely momentous to human beings,"said Kathy Willis, science director at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London, who led the new report."Plants provide us with everything-food, fuel, medicine, and they are unbelievably important for our climate controlling. Without plants we would not be here, "
The good news is that deforestation rates around the world have decreased to a great extent since the 1950s. However, this first-ever report on the health of plant species around the world shows that there is much more to be done.
The report, named the "State of the World's Plants", estimates that there are now about 390,900 plant species known to science. And some 21 percent of those plants are in danger of disappearance. "The positive side is that we' re still discovering lots of new plants, about 2,000 each year, new plants for food, for fuel and for drugs,"said Dr Willis. "The bad side is that we’ve seen a huge change in land cover, mainly driven by cultural activity, with a little bit of climate change in there as well. "
Human activity has a significant effect on the risk of plant disappearance. As humans cut down forests to clear space for agriculture, towns and cities, vast stores of biodiversity(生物多样性)are lost.
Losing the diversity of plants could also be a problem for human use, Not only could this affect our own food supply directly, it could also affect the food web.If a plant-eating animal loses some of its food supplies, that change could affect the food chain.
32.What does the underlined word"momentous"in paragraph 2probably mean?
A. Crucial B.Available.C. Bottomless.D. Replaceable.
33.How many plant species known to science are at risk of extinction?
A. About 20B. About 2, 000
C. About 82, 000.D. About 390, 900.
34.What causes the loss of biodiversity according to the text?
A. Nature climate changeB. Loss of vital food bases.
C. Destructive human activity.D. Pollution of the environment.
35.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?
A. To show a big change in land cover.
B. To appeal to people to protect biodiversity.
C. To reveal some harmful human behavior.
D. To introduce some endangered plant species.
