9、re than 30 years ago, there was a well-known boxer named Eugene Hart. Hart was heavily favored to win his next round against an ungifted boxer, Antuofermo. It was said that the only thing that Antuofermo could do was he bled well”. However, here was an important thing. He had good qualities that you
10、 couldnt see.During the fight, Hart controlled Antuofermo, knocking him down and giving him a good beating. Antuofermo absorbed the punishment that was dealt to him by his naturally superior opponent, and he did it so well that Hart became discouraged. In the fifth round, Hart began to tire, not phy
11、sically but mentally. Taking advantage of the situation, Antuofermo attacked and knocked Hart down, thus ending the fight.When the fighters went back to their temporary restrooms, only a thin curtain was between them. Harts room was quiet, but on the other side he could hear Antuofermos coach talkin
12、g about who would take the fighter to the hospital. Finally he heard Antuofermo saying, Every time he hit me with that left hook （左勾拳）to the body, I thought I was going to quit. After the second round, I thought if he hit me there again, Id quit. I thought the same thing after the fourth round. But
13、he stopped hitting me there.At that moment, Hart began to weep. He was crying because for the first time he understood that Antuofermo had felt the same way he had and even worse. And the only thing that distinguished the guy who was talking from the guy who was crying was perseverance. The coward（懦
14、夫）and the hero had the same emotions. Theyre both humans.The important question to ask yourself here is this：How does each man respond to the tough situation that they are experiencing？ Maybe you are in a tough position right now or, if not, one might be coming. How will you react？ Like a hero or a

Enthusiasm and responsibility.CDenmark is only about half the size of South Carolina, but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world. Denma
18、rk now gets 47% of its electricity from wind, and there will be more to come, thanks to a combination of history and policy.Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century. So its not surprising that Denmark invested in build
19、ing wind power the earliest. Since the 1970s, Denmark has been investing in wind energy all over the country. In the 1980s, due to a strong movement opposing nuclear power plants, Denmark increased its production of clean energy even before many other countries considered it.Even back in 2002, Denma
20、rk took climate change warnings seriously. They drew up policies, aiming to cut fossil-fuel emissions by 20%, which they did via renewable energy investment. Some of the worlds largest companies in the fieldincluding Vestas, which builds turbines （涡轮机），and Orsted, which specializes in offshore wind
21、projectsare Danish, so the country has an impact beyond its borders.The huge impact of Denmarks wind industry is important. But Denmark is a small country, so while almost 50% of its electricity from wind is admirable, its also minor in terms of entire global impact.While Denmark gets half its elect
22、ricity from 5,758 megawatts （MW） of capacity, Spains 23,000 MW covers just 18 percent of its electricity supply as its a much bigger country. China is the leader in wind energy at 221,000 MW, and the U. S. is the second in the world at about 96,000 MW.At the end of 2019, lawmakers in Denmark set a n
23、ew goal：increasing the share of electricity coming from renewable power to 100%.28. What can we know about Demark？A. It is a leader in solar energy. B. It is a pioneer in clean energy.C.

Denmark Has a Long History of Developing Renewable Power DCarbon dioxide isnt just a greenhouse gas thats thinning the atmosphere, but its also causing a popular food to lose its nu
26、tritional value over time, which will have a major impact on more than 2 billion people worldwide.According to a recent study conducted in a joint effort by researchers in Japan, China, Australian, and the United States, higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contribute to the decline of
27、protein（蛋白质）and other key vitamins in rice. The study, published in the journal Science Advances, looked at 18 different agriculture sites in China and Japan over four years and found that the crops exposed to higher levels of carbon dioxide were overall less nutritious than those that were not.“Man
28、y basic crops are impacted by the rise of carbon dioxide with respect to things like protein concentration and iron and zinc,” says Lewis Ziska, a co-author and research plant physiologist at the US Department of Agriculture. The research explains that the exposed rice contained 10 percent less prot
29、ein, 8 percent less iron, and 5 percent less zinc, while amounts of B1, B2 and B5 vitamins also declined. And increased levels of carbon dioxide doesnt just have a negative effect on rice, but other food staples（主食）including wheat and potatoes also face serious consequences when exposed to higher le
30、vels.While this certainly impacts many people worldwide, it follows that the people that would suffer the most would be those that consume the most rice, which, as the study also found, also happen to be those who live in the poorest countries.Additional studies are now underway and researchers are
31、trying to solve this problem by looking at the different types of each crop in hopes of finding the types that react the least, or not at all, to high levels of carbon dioxide.Until then, what can you do？ For starters, you can try to eat a variety of foods and get your vitamins and proteins from var
32、ious sources. Then to help with the larger problem of global warming and climate change, you can make simple lifestyle changes such as hang drying clothes, walking to work, and turning off the lights when youre not home.32. What is the effect of higher levels of carbon dioxide？ A. It increases protein content in rice. B. It causes nutrient loss in crops. C. It improves agricultural productivity. D. It directly affects peoples health.33. Who may suffer most from the rise of carbon dio
