Maricel Apatan，22，stands in the kitchen of the Edsa Shangi-La Hotel in Manila，preparing to decorate a cheese cake.It would seem to be a routine task for a cake chef，but Maricel is no ordinary chef-she has no hands.
   Maricel has come a long way since the day in September 2000 when she and her uncle were attacked near their farm.Fortunately，both of them survived，but the 11-year-old girl lost her hands.In 2004，she entered a Manila training centre for people with disabilities.She learned how to write and do housework and，more importantly，came to terms with her disability.
   After graduating from high school，she took a two-year Hotel and Restaurant Management course and flourished even though she was the only disabled student in the course.After she moved back to Manila to continue her studies，the media started reporting on this determined young woman.She didn't shy away from the attention. "I wanted others living with disabilities to believe it's possible to live a normal life，" Maricel says.
   When managers at the Edsa Shangi-La Hotel saw Maricel on television，they hired her as part of the hotel's Care for People project.She has also accomplished her goal of inspiring others.One of them is Ronelyn Calumpiano，a 21-year-old with cerebral palsy（腦癱）.She saw Maricel on television and was moved by her confidence.Ronelyn will soon start classes and is already planning a career in IT.
   Maricel's three younger sisters have moved to Manila.She pays for the rent of their small apartment，while their parents look after their family farm in Mindanao. "It is difficult to make ends meet，but I won't lose hope.I believe anything is possible if you dream，work hard and pray."

  • 1．Trees，some of the tallest in the world，towered above Hannah Griffiths and her colleagues each morning as they walked deep into the rainforest in the Maliau Basin in Borneo，where they had set up a set of experiments to look at the ecological effects of small creatures：termites （白蟻）.
       Termites get a bum rap.They make headlines for chewing up billions of dollars of property each year in the US.And they are responsible for something like two percent of global carbon emissions，simply as a result of their huge populations and preference for chewing through carbon-rich materials.A whole industry is aiming at killing them.
       But they play a key role in many natural ecosystems.Scientists have known for years that in tropical （熱帶的） forests，termites chew up fallen leaves and dead wood，keeping the fallen material under control and letting nutrients from the dead material back into the system to be used by other plants，insects，and animals.But they didn't know exactly how important the insects were in keeping the forest healthy and functional，so they removed termites from a particular spot in the forest and saw how it responded.
       As luck would have it，Hannah Griffiths and her colleagues started their experiment when the forest was hit by an extreme drought.During the non-drought years，they saw there wasn't much difference between the normal plots and the ones where they'd removed the termites.But during the drought，the effects were marked.What they found was unexpected：in the termite-rich areas，the soil stayed slightly wet，more tree seedlings sprouted（抽芽），and the system was full of activity despite the long，hard dry spell.
       For Griffiths，it was only because they happened to study the drought that they could pick out the real importance of termites to the system，she points out."And that rings alarm bells in my head，" she says，"because it makes me think，well，what else don't we know？If we start damaging biological communities，we don't know what that will do."

    （1）Which of the following best explains "a bum rap" underlined in Paragraph 2？

    A．Unfair blame.
    B．Wide popularity.
    C．Public attention.
    D．Special preference.
    （2）What have scientists learned about termites？

    A．They do serious harm to tropical rainforests.
    B．They contribute a lot to the ecosystem they live in.
    C．They act as food for other plants，insects and animals.
    D．They speed up the loss of nutrition in the rainforest.
    （3）What can we infer from the finding of Griffiths' experiment？

    A．Termites help rainforests survive climate change.
    B．Termites prefer drought years to non-drought ones.
    C．Termites benefit more from the forest during the drought.
    D．Termites enjoy eating tree seedlings during the drought.
    （4）What does Griffiths tell us in the last paragraph？

    A．Termites are now in danger of extinction.
    B．Termites damage biological communities.
    C．We should think twice before damaging a species.
    D．We should study the drought to improve the system.
