There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds．There are also desert insects which survive as inactive larvae （幼虫）．In addition，difficult as it is to believe，there are desert fish which can survive through years of drought （干旱） in the form of inactive eggs．These are the shrimps （虾） that live in the Mojave Desert，an extremely dry place in the southwest of the United States where shade temperatures of over 50℃are often recorded．

The eggs of the Mojave shrimps look like grains of sand both in size and appearance．When enough spring rain falls to form a lake，once every two to five years，these eggs hatch．Then the water is soon filled with millions of tiny shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on tiny plant and animal organisms （有机物）which also grow in the temporary desert lake．Within a week，the shrimps grow from their original 1millimetre to a length of about 1.5centimetres．

Throughout the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing，the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates（蒸发）．Therefore，for the shrimps it is a race against time．By the twelfth day，however，when they are about 3centimetre long，hundreds

of tiny eggs form on the under bodies of the females．Usually by this time，all that remains of the lake is a large，muddy patch of wet soil．On the 13th day，the shrimps lay their eggs in the mud．Then，having ensured that their species will survive，the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates．

If enough rain falls the next year to form another lake，the eggs hatch，and once again the shrimps pass rapidly through their cycle of growth，adulthood，egg-laying，and death．Some years there is not enough rain to form a lake：in this case，the eggs will remain dormant for another years，or even longer if necessary．Very,veryoccasionally,perhaps twice in a hundred years,sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or more, In this case,the species passes through two cycles of growth,egg-laying ,and death.Thus,on such occasions,the species multiplies considerably,which further ensures its survival.

Sometimes when you tend to see things in a different light or perspective from others ,don’t focus too much on making sure that what you think will cause things to change.(69)When you have good self-esteem you will realize that what you did was right and was made under your own food judgement, sound principles and concepts based on your personal outlook ad attitude towards life .

I. Summary Writing (10%)

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and then write an English summary in about 60 words in your own words.

Not all memories are sweet．Some people spend all their lives trying to forget

bad experiences．Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars．Often they relive these experiences in nightmares．

Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories．The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience．They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories．

In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France．The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain．So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out．They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected．

The research has caused a great deal of argument．Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it．Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war．They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories．

\．They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare．They usually come with very painful emotions,\said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical

School．\．\

But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity．They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past．

\make us who we are．I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, \Dresser, a medical ethicist．
