For 19 years, the owl researcher, Denver Holt, has journeyed to Barrow, Alaska, each summer to map out the relationship between lemmings （旅鼠）that crawl across the tundra （冻原）and snowy owls that hunt them from above．
As he prepares for his 20th field season in the Arctic, he says that the snowy owl has a role to play in understanding ecological changes in one of the fastest changing places in the world．"When lemmings are doing well, everything is doing well," Mr．Holt said．"If climate change results in habitat （栖息地）changes and it affects the lemmings, it will show up in the snowy owls because 90 percent of their diet is lemmings．The owls are the key to everything
else．"
Twenty years of data provides an unusually deep look at the animal's population trends．And more research on snowy owls in other parts of the world ?they are found throughout the Arctic could flag changes in the global arctic ecosystem without the need for any other markers．"It's a believable point," ．．said John W．Fitzpatrick, director of the Cornell Lab of Qrthinology at Cornell University．"Systems are difficult, and if we have an easily accessible marker for the system beneath it, that's a really good thing, because we can measure cheaply and easily how an ecosystem is doing．It gives us a quick understanding of the situation．"
There is an unscientific reason to study the snowy owl as well, Mr．Holt says．There is something interesting about owls．"People pay attention to owls more than other birds because they look like us," he said．'They have a symmetrical （对称的）face, eyes facing forward, a round, flat face and a round head with feathers that look like hair．"
36．From the passage, we know that lemmings ____．
A．live mostly on snowy owls B．often change their habitat
C．are increasing rapidly these days D．can affect the life of snowy owls 37．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Mr．Holt goes to the Arctic to study snowy owls every winter．
B．Climate change has a direct influence on snowy owls．
C．John W．Fitzpatrick thought Mr．Holt's research and findings were useful and meaningful．D．People study snowy owls just for scientific research．
38．The underlined word, "flag", in the passage is closest in meaning to "____"．A．influence B．mark C．measure D．cause 39．What is the best title for this passage?
A．Mr．Holt's Research on Ecological Changes B．Changes in Snowy Owls
C．Snowy Owls And Eco-changes D．Reasons to Study Snowy Owls

Several years ago I received a post card from a friend in Jackson Hole, Wyo. , who wrote,"I am skiing with abandon!" I believe he meant he was skiing skillfully, joyfully, peacefully and confidently. Although I have no hopes of ever skiing that way, I do dream of living with abandon. I believe that men and women through the ages who have led successful lives have captured these secrets of living life to the fullest.
1. Have a self you respect. This means having a deep sense of responsibility for your thoughts and actions. It means keeping your word, and being faithful to self, family and work. It means believing in what you do and working hard. It means setting your own standards, and not comparing yourself to others. It's not a question of being better than someone else~ respect and integrity demand that you be better than you thought you could be.
2. Turn disappointments into strengths. Individuals who live with abandon have discovered that personal trials make them more sensitive and loving, while building character. They have learned that achieve ments worth remembering are stained (给……染色) with the blood of diligence and marked with the scars of disappointment.
The pages of history are filled with the heroic stories of men and women who overcame disabilities and difficulties to demonstrate victorious spirits. Raise him in extreme poverty, and you have an Abraham Lincoln. Make her blind and deaf, and you have a Helen Keller.
3. Enjoy life's process, not just life's rewards. We live in a goal-centered society that wants problems solved now. We want three-minute coffee, one-hour dry cleaning, and instant success. But to live with a bandon, we must live one day at a time, enjoying the little victories, realizing that life is an
endless jour ney in self-discovery and personal fulfillment.
4. Become involved in something bigger than yourself. I do not believe you will live happily if you set out to live life for yourself alone. Choose a cause bigger than you are and work at it in a spirit of excellence. It will become a part of you as you see your goals through to the end. Measure success not by what you’ ve done, but what you could do
