Finally, the driver, a man about 60, looked up from behind the wheel and apologized, "I'm sorry, but I was reading a letter." He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough. Since I was in no hurry, I told him to finish his letter. He shook his head, explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart. Curious, I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a grandchild."This isn't family," he replied, "though he might just as well have been a regular member of the family. Old Ed and I grew up together." They were always friends. But since he moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago, it'd generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them. A couple of weeks ago, Ed died. "I should have kept in touch." He repeated this, more to himself than to me. To comfort him, I said sometimes we just didn't seem to find the time. "But we used to find the time," he said. "Take a look." He handed the letter over to me. The first sentence "I've been meaning to write for some time, but I've always delayed it." reminded me of myself. It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together. When I read the part where it said"Your friendship really means a lot to me, more than I can say because I'm not good at saying things like that", I found myself nodding in agreement. We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph:"So I thought you'd like to know that I was thinking of you." And it was ended with "Your Old Friend, Tom." "I thought your friend's name was Ed,"I said. "I'm Tom," he explained. "It's a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew he'd died. I never put it in the mailbox. I guess I should have written it sooner." His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief. When I got to my hotel room I didn't unpack right away, I had to write a letter and post it. 4. Who wrote the letter?A. Tom. B. Old Ed. C.

C     Royal Dutch Shell is launching a $ 300 million and forestry program, at a time when an increasing number of oil companies are putting money in carbon offset(碳补偿) plans to meet climate goals. The company will spend the money over the next three years on projects to store carbon, including large forests in the Netherlands and Spain, and will start offering motorists the option of purchasing carbon offsets when they buy petrol at the pump.     The executives of the company explained that these carbon offset projects were a new business opportunity for Shell, as well as a way to meet its climate targets. "We believe that over time we will be building a business, because these carbon credits will become more valuable as carbon becomes more limited," they said. Shell recently decided to cut its net carbon footprint(碳排放) by 2-3 percent in five years, which includes emissions(排放) from the products it sells. The company plans to produce carbon credits from the forestry projects, then sell these credits on to customers buying its oil and gas products, or apply the credits to its own operations to lower its carbon footprint.     Plants absorb carbon dioxide as they grow and restoring forests and other natural areas is considered one of the simplest ways to store carbon. However, the voluntary market for carbon credits based on forestry projects has its critics, as projects in developing countries can be hard to monitor. Shell's move has also been criticized by some environmentalists. They worried that there was a risk of "greenwash" when companies invested in forestry projects. "There is an entire debate about whether forestry projects truly reduce emissions or not," they said, pointing out that planting in one area could cause deforestation (滥伐森林)to another.     Shell said it would rely on the third party to ensure its forest program to meet the Voluntary Carbon Standard and strict biodiversity requirements. Mark Lewis, head of climate change investment research at BNP Paribas, said, "Planting trees to offset emissions, as far as it goes, is a step in the right direction." 8.What is popular among oil companies these days?A.Studying climate changes.B.Launching forestry programs.C.Working out carbon offset plans.D.Attracting motorists to buy their petrol.9.How will Shell Company make profits from its carbon offset projects?A.By quitting the emissions of its products.B.By reducing its carbon footprint by a quarter.C.By limiting the oil used by its own operations.D.By putting carbon credits it produces on the market.10.What concerns some environmentalists about forestry project?A.The projects can't really stop carbon emissions.B.The projects are hard to monitor in poor countries.C.The projects may lead to deforestation in other forests.D.The projects haven't met strict biodiversity requirements.11.What does the underlined word "greenwash" in Paragraph 3mean?A.Discount. B.Cheat. C.Decline. D.Change. D     Scientists have developed a new type of smart bandage(绷带) that can signal the type of bacterial(细菌的) infection it's protecting, just like a traffic light, as well as release the right type of drugs on demand. The traffic light system works just like this: Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria, yellow means drug-sensitive(DS) bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics(抗生素) and causes antibiotic release, and red means drug-resistant(DR) bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out.     In testing the bandage on mice, the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method. However, the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time, the requirement for professional personnel, and expensive instruments. Moreover, the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance.     It's easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations. Treatment doesn't have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis, and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity. What's more, the person wearing the bandage gets real-time feedback on what's happening with the infection, if there's an infection at all. The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light, including photodynamic therapy or PDT.     We've been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years, thanks to advances in science—like the nanofibre mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out, speeding up the healing process. Then there's the novel bandage for treating burns, which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection.     The more work that a bandage can do while it's protecting a wound, the better. Efforts to improve bandages continue and now we've got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics, but also tells the patient exactly what's going on too. 12.What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do?A.Avoid the use of antibiotics. B.Clear out harmful bacteria.C.Detect bacterial infections. D.Increase treatment options.13.What is the advantage of the smart bandage?A.It saves much time and cost. B.It removes the risk of infection.C.It prevents the bacterial resistance. D.It improves doctor-patient relationship.14.What can be inferred from the last two paragra
