A
Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby. He finds old military (军队的) medals for sale in
antique stores and on the Internet. But unlike most collectors, Zac tracks down the medals’
rightful owners, and returns them.
His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his
mother, a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A. G. Piccoli, found in an antique shop. Zac
knows the meaning of a Purple Heart-he earned one himself in a war as a soldier. So when
his mother gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to do.
Through the Internet, Zac tracked down Corrado’s sister Adeline Rockko. But when he
finally reached her, the woman flooded him with questions: “Who are you? What antique
shop?” However, when she hung up, she regretted the way she had handled the call. So she
called Zac back and apologized. Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown, N.Y. “At that
point, I knew she meant business,” Zac says. “To drive eight hours to come to see me.”
The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown. Corrado, a
translator for the Army during WWII, was killed in action in Europe.
Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn’t realized the medal was missing. Like many
military medals, the one Zac’s mother had found was a family treasure. “This medal was
very precious to my parents. Only on special occasions (场合) would they take it out and let
us hold it in our hands,” Adeline says.
As a child, Adeline couldn’t understand why the medal was so significant. “But as I
grew older,” Adeline says, “and missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the
only thing we had left.” Corrado Piccoli’s Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian
American Civic Association in Watertown.
Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama. Since he first reunited
Corrado’s medal, Zac says his record is now 5 for 5.

B
Money with no strings attached. It’s not something you see every day. But at Union
Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins
and a sign that read, “Give What You Can, Take What You Need.”
People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own
cash to the board. “People of all ages, races, and socio-economic (社会经济的) backgrounds
gave and took, ”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. “We even had
a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.” Most of the bills
on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video
clip (片段) shows one man who had found a $$ 20 bill pinning it to the board.
“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles,” Bridges
said. “There’s a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those
that gave the most.” Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very
small number took as much as they could.
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was
to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try
similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.
“After all, everyone has bad days and good days,” he said. “Some days you need a
helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”
24. What does the expression “money with no strings attached” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Money spent without hesitation.
B. Money not legally made.
C. Money offered without conditions.
D. Money not tied together.
25. What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride?
A. Women tended to be more sociable.
B. The activity attracted various people.
C. Economic problems were getting worse.
D. Young couples needed financial assistance.
26. Why did Bridges carry out the project?
A. To do a test on people’s morals.
B. To raise money for his company.
C. To earn himself a good reputation.
D. To promote kindness and sympathy.

C
California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be
published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor (因素).
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more
than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or
unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San
Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen
by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was
the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed
into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small
trees that compete with big trees for resources (资源).
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with
another one between 2001 and 2010, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread
death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or
development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water
shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated
how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into
account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of
snowmelt (融雪).
Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state
have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier
snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
27. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B. The increasing variety of California big trees.
C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.
28. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A. Ecological studies of forests.
B. Banning woodcutting.
C. Limiting housing development.
D. Fire control measures.
29. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?
A. Inadequate snowmelt.
B. A longer dry season.
C. A warmer climate.
D. Dampness of the air.
30. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California
