Venice---Sprawing across(横跨)hundreds of small islands in Northeast Italy, Venice is at etreme ris of sining into the Adriatic Sea. Rising sea levels are in fact a serious threat to many coastal cities located at sea

Glacier(冰川)National Par---Glacier National Par was once covered by over 150 glaciers, but by 2005 it only had about 27!

As temperatures rise, the glaciers and ice melt, which will upset the ecosystems sustaining over a thousand plant species and hundreds of animals.
The Amaon---The cause behind the disappearance of these fantastic places ultimately comes down to humans.

These forests are sources of food and medicine for just about everyone on the planet!

Many a young person tells me that he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also eplain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write, “I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer issed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all what I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New Yor apartment building. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and left lie a genuine writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a brea and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I new I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering, what if? I would eep putting my dream to the test---even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. 25. The passage is meant to ______. A. B. C. D.
warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to eperience advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame encourage young people to pursue a writing career
26. “…people who die wondering, what if?” (Para.3) refers to “those ________”. A. B. C. D.
