Then the cats themselves be
26、came the problem. After dealing with the rats“, they turned to birds-and now hundreds of them have been killed in a move to protect rare (稀有 ) birds. Even cat lovers have been persuaded to back the move, after being told that there was no other choice. When British sailors took control of Ascension
27、Island in 1815, they found nobody living on it but that it was overrun with rats which had escaped from sinking ships. They introduced cats to kill the rats-and were soon overrun by cats. By 1820 they were sending back to England for dogs to kill the cats, but that didn t work. Ever since the wild c
28、at population has been attacking the birds. Man introduced these cats, and it has disturbed the balance. Ascension Island is a most important seabird gathering place. We have to undo man s mistake in bringing cats here. Action has been taken to kill off wild cats for the protection of birds. Only ca

They say sleep str
33、engthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day. Lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, “Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences. Its like knowing the difference between dogs and cats. even if its hard to explain. “ The
34、 US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols (象征 ) , reports New Scientist. They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept. They found that people were better abl
35、e to remember lists of related words after a night s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day. They also found it easier to remember themes (主题 ) that the words had in common. But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake. Prof. John Groeger, of Surrey Univer
36、sitys Sleep Research Centre, said, “People have been trying for years to fard out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative (有助恢复的 ) value. “ “ We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain

40、d-fashioned advice. 63 The Northern Pike is a very bad fish. It is a big, hungry fish, and eats little fish. Many Northern Pike live in Lake Davis. They are killing all the smaller fish in the lake. The Northern Pike area serious danger to the lake because they eat all the smaller fish. Soon, all ot
41、her kinds of fish in the lake will be killed off. This is not healthy for the environment (环境 ). Researchers are afraid that the Northern Pike will swim out of Lake Davis through many smaller rivers that feed into the lake.

43、he idea of using poison to kill the fish. They worry that the poisons are bad for humans who use the water. However, people havent found any poisons at all in local (当地的 ) wells.

Well, three years down the road, and the UNDPs yearly collection of facts and figures already shows th
48、at if we carry on as we are, the only goal likely to be met is that for reducing poverty by a half, and that is entirely due to the success of one country-China. It is so vast that the fast-growing economy in China lifts millions of people above the poverty line, even though in Africa, Latin America
49、 and the former Soviet Union, people have actually been getting poorer. Otherwise, progress is good only in parts.
