在shady brook养狗场,所有的成年动物都服用了一种新药,这种药物的目的是降低狗类被感染上某种一般性传染病的风险。在用药的几天后,这群狗中的大多数幼狗都体温上升。由于体温上升是这种药的一个副作用,因此该养狗场的场主得出假设,认为幼狗们的体温上升是由于这种药通过幼狗母亲的乳汁进入了幼狗体内。 下列哪一项,如果正确,对养狗场场主的假设提供了最有力的支持
A. 有些幼狗直接服用了这种新药,但却没有引起体温上升的副作用。
B. 狗的饲养员们完全接受了这种新药,认为它可以安全有效地阻止某种一般性狗类传染病的流行。
C. 养狗场中有四条幼狗是由奶瓶喂养的,它们都没有发生体温上升的现象。
D. 体温上升是养狗场对狗使用的该新药之外的另一些药物的副作用。
E. 该养狗场大多数幼狗所产生的这种体温上升现象基本不会对幼狗的健康产生长期影响。
Our children are disconnecting with nature. The average suburban young person has little relationship to increasingly distant wild places. By the time they are seven years old, most youngsters have been exposed to more than 20,000 advertisements. They can identify 200 corporate logos (社团理念), but they cannot identify the trees growing in their front yards. They can navigate the Web with ease, but few of them have climbed a tree and even fewer have the love of nature needed to be good stewards (庄园的管理者). How can they be good stewards if they don’’t care about trees, wildlife or wild places Trees always inspired me as a child, so when my seventh-grade science teacher asked each student to do a project, my choice was an easy one. I set out to make a leaf collection of every native tree in the Pittsburgh area. I spent countless hours hiking forests, identifying trees, pressing leaves. In the process, I developed a deeper appreciation of the richness of our forests. In many ways, that leaf collection helped launch my career in conservation (蓄林). Trees are amazing. They give meaning to the notion of "multitasking." Their shade cools us during summer. In winter, their tossing branches buffer harsh winds. They bear tasty fruits and nuts, often in extravagant abundance. They provide us with wood and paper products. All the while, trees produce oxygen, sequester (没收、吸收) carbon dioxide and help reduce global warming. They build soil and reduce water runoff and pollution. Trees even make us well when we are sick. Aspirin is derived from willows. The breast cancer-fighting compound Taxol is extracted from western yews (紫杉). Chemicals from pinko trees are widely used as memory enhancers. Though often overlooked, trees are an essential element of local beauty. They quietly define place. Imagine giant redwoods reaching skyward in a northern California coastal forest, mature ponderosary (笨重的) pines in the Rockies, stately live oaks draped with Spanish moss on a Southern plantation, massive white oaks with widely outspread branches on Midwestern farms, multicolored autumn landscapes of mixed forests in New England. What would these places be like without their unique trees In recent times, we have been taking down trees by the millions and replacing them with highways and shopping malls. Along with the loss of trees, we lose the understory (林下叶层) of native wild plants and the wildlife that they shelter. I wish every conservation-minded adult would take a moment to introduce just one child to just one tree. It’’s a small step but who knows what little actions like this can do to stimulate childhood curiosity How can we expect our children to care if you and I don’’t help them make the critical connections to nature while they are young enough to have their values shaped If you need help with tree identification, visit our resource library at enature.com. Trees give us so much and they desperately need our attention—and the attention of our children. If you want to do something for nature this season, plant a tree and while you are at it, plant a seed in the heart of a future steward. If you want to teach your child to identify trees, the convenient way is to________.
A. go to parks
B. go to the forest
C. visit the website: enature.com
D. visit the teacher of biology
