He now put the money into his pocket, and went on to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was 47 on finding the other coin. His feelings 48 him; he fell upon his knees, looked 49 to heaven and uttered aloud a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread, 50 the timely giving, from some unknown hand, would save from dying. 高考网Www.gaoKw.CoM

A
What would you think if someone proposed knocking down St Paul’s Cathedral to widen the road? Or pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It’d be ridiculous, right? But when it comes to devastation(毁灭)of the natural world, we aren’t so easily shocked. But we should be…or we’ll be in a lot of trouble!
Nature is shrinking by the day. Ancient forests are destroyed. Wetlands are becoming dry. Woodland is disappearing, and all in the name of progress. This is bad in itself, but it’s devastating for biodiversity. 高考网WWw.gAoKw.coM
Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals and other living things which are all interconnected. The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life. The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis(光合作用)by green plants. Insects, worms and bacteria break down waste and make soils rich. And tiny organisms clean the water in rivers and seas. In fact, all life on earth exists thanks to the benefits of biodiversity. More than 90 percent of calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species. And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals. Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.
