30、e began fifteen years ago. Carl Simnmons, then a local high school student, needed a job. Carl knew he wanted to work outdoors, so he grabbed the family lawnmower and offered yard work services to his neighbors. Soon Carl's reputation Cur hard work and attention to detail created more work than

31、lie could handle on his own. He hired several of his friends, and he expected high quality and service from them as well. After graduating from high school, Carl continued the business throughout college and beyond. Carl turned a summer job into a full-time career. The service employs approximately

32、100 hard -working, local high school students each summer. All lawn care is completed by teams of students carefully trained in lawn-care maintenance.

36、 research reveals. The finding may be particularly useful in identifying landslides that occur in steep, remote areas where few people live - not because of their immediate effects, but because such slumps (滑坡) can block rivers and impound lakes that could later destroy the natural dams and threaten

37、 populated areas downstream. Seismometers and other such instruments record ground motions occurring at all frequencies（頻率）, but seismologists typically pay attention to only those in ranges where the signals of earthquakes exist. The first seismic waves caused by quakes and explosions are sharp and

38、 distinct, says Goran Ekstrom, a seismologist in Palisades, New York. But the low-frequency waves caused by giant landslides are occasionally hidden in the mix of seismic vibrations (震動) booming through Earth's crust, too. Of the 29 largest known landslides worldwide from 1980 through 2012, grou

39、nd motions from the 27 largest were detected by seismic instruments that were part of a global network of instruments. Seismic vibrations produced by the other two slides showed up well on regional networks. When Ekstrom and colleague Colin Stark analyzed the seismic data associated with those major

40、 landslides, they realized that certain characteristics of the slumps were contained in the ground motions - similar to the way that researchers can use seismic data to estimate the size of a quake and the directions. For instance, when rock falls off a mountainside, the peak is suddenly lighter - s

41、o, according to Newton's laws of motion, the mountain springs upward and away from the falling rock, causing initial ground motions that reveal some characteristics of the landslide. And because seismic data offer clues about how landslides unfold, it hay help researchers develop better models o

42、f how landslides behave. "People merely se'c' huge l:endslidcs happen; they typically only see the aftereffects," Ekstrom notes. Indeed, Ekstrom aril Stark's analysis revealed that a set of landslides that fell onto the Siachen Glacier near the India-Pakistan border in Septembe

43、r 2010 actually included seven slides that occurred over a period of 4 days. "If we'd only seen this deposit in the field, we'd likely have thought it was formed by one or two landslides," Ekstrom says. Although some landslides fortunately don't affect people immediately, they

44、can have long-term effects. If researchers have a way to identify such landslides quickly, they can possibly minimize damage and loss of life. 63. What is the particular use of the finding mentioned in the passage? A. Clarifying the reasons to identify landslides. B. Finding the possible directions

45、of landslides. C. Judging where landslides occur and how long they may last. D. Confirming the lonely sites and potential effects of landslides. 64. According to the passage, seismic waves caused by giant landslides _.A. are at high frequency B. are sharp and distinct C. might hardly be discovered D

46、. may occur at all frequencies 65. What can help scientists figure out the size and direction of a landslide? A. Ground motions. B. Newton's laws of motion. C. The falling rock. D. The lighter mountain peak. 66. We can infer from the passage that _.A. damage and loss of life from giant landslide

47、s are unavoidable B. landslides can all be detected by instruments over the world C. landslides have never been seen when they occur D. deposit can tell scientists the number of landslides DCarrier PigeonsPeople have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years. In fact, pigeo

48、ns were a common way to send messages right up through World War II. In 1815 an English banker named Nathan Rothschild made his fortune by relying on messages sent to him by carrier pigeons. English troops were fighting Napoleon's forces in France, and the English were believed to be losing. A f

49、inancial panic gripped London. Government bonds were offered at low prices. Few people noticed that Rothschild was snapping up these bonds when everyone else was desperately trying to sell them. A few days later, London learned the truth; the Duke of Wellington had defeated Napoleon at the battle of

50、 Waterloo. The value of the bonds went up, and Rothschild became extremely wealthy all because his pigeons had brought him news of the victory before anyone else knew of it. Most of the time. however, carrier pigeons were used to benefit an entire country, not just one individual. The United States,

51、 England, France, Germany, and Italy, in both World will. I and World War 11, used carrier pigeons. Not only were the birds often the fastest, most reliable way to send messages, they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines, where radios and field telephone lines were useless. Si

52、nce they could easily be released from airplanes or ships, every branch of the armed services used the birds. In World War 11. more than 3,000 soldiers and 150 officers were needed to care for and train the tens of thousands of birds in the U.S. Pigeon Service. Carrying messages could be a dangerous

53、 job. Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals, such as England's Dicken Medal of Gallantly. In a few cases, pigeons even became prisoners of war. In 1918 American forces captured a pigeon named The Kaiser, which had been trained to fly specia

54、l missions for Germany during battle. He was taken to America, where he lived to the age of 32. The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami. Stationed in France during World War I, he carried twelve important messages for American forces. On his last mission, though wounded, lie carried a m

55、essage that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers. For his extraordinary service, he was awarded the French "Croix de Guerre". Carrier pigeons are a slightly different breed from the kind of pigeon you see on city streets. They are much thinner and taller, with longer legs. Many people

56、find carrier pigeons ugly because of their big wattle, a knobby buildup of skin on the beak; however, people who raise pigeons often enjoy this odd appearance and consider carriers the best of their breeds. Today, modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do it. However, few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeons - especially those that served in the military (軍隊) - have earned their place in history. Stories about brave pigeons such as Cher Ami, President Wilson, and C
