But he didn’t find his way until years later when he was asked to go to a beach and saw a scene. “ I found a turtle cut up into pieces in a bucket, and its heart was still beating,” Aranda said.‎ ‎ There was nothing that Aranda could do to save the turtle. But ever since then, he has patrolled(巡逻) Puerto Vallarta’s beaches as an unofficial keeper of the sea turtle. Aranda’s conservation group, Vallarta Rescue, aiming to protect turtles, is located along Mexico’s northwest Pacific beaches. From June to December, Aranda and his volunteers watch over the shoreline where turtles lay their eggs.‎ ‎ Aranda’s group is non-profit and it relies entirely on private donations.

But Mexico still has one of the highest rates of turtle poaching(偷猎) in the world. Aranda believes the poaching business is not sustained(维持) by profit, because a single turtle egg sells for about 50 cents. “I think it’s how people feel eating something forbidden,” he said. “They want to try what is illegal. They have seen their parents and their grandparents eat them, and it’s a way of thinking that is very hard to change.”‎ ‎ Changing the locals’ ideas is part of what drivers Aranda to stay awake during his night patrols in Puerto Vallarta. A good night, he says, is any night when a single turtle is spotted and protected from poachers.‎ ‎41. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A.

Our health is our priority(首要事情) when it comes to the choice of our foods. If you worry that the chocolate is bad for your health, then here is a list of the effects of dark chocolate on health especially when taken with the right amount every day.‎ ‎ First of all，it contains a component called flavonoid (类黄酮) which acts as an antioxidant (抗氧化剂)．The antioxidants fight the common signs of aging. The antioxidants are also good for the heart. Studies have shown that people who ate foods rich in antioxidants have low risk of heart diseases.‎ ‎ Besides the antiaging and healthy heart benefits，the dark chocolate can also lower blood pressure and reduce bad cholesterol(胆固醇) to as high as 10%.Lowering of blood pressure in patients of high blood level is good because it will lower the risks of stroke(中风) and certain health crisis. Low levels of blood cholesterol are also good for the heart and take away the risk of blood vessels which may harden for too much cholesterol in them.‎ ‎ Lastly，dark chocolates will give you the feeling of pleasure and happiness. If you are feeling that the world has turned against you，then a chocolate can be a mood lifter. Usually when we feel so bad，we would desire to eat more food.

German and British settlers introduced it. 51 ‎ ‎ They thought that the groundhog awakens from its winter’s sleep on February 2. The groundhog comes out of its hole. If the sun is shining, it will see its shadow. The shadow scares it. So it runs back into its hold. This means six more weeks of winter. If the day is cloudy, it will not see its shadow. Since it is not scared, it stays out of its hole. 52 These are the same things we say on Groundhog Day today.‎ ‎ 53 They are known mainly to country people. City people just don’t know how to look for them. to the city people, a groundhog sitting straight by its hole may look like a root. It could also be seen as a clod(块) of earth. Or it may look like a broken fence-post. But a farmer may see groundhogs anywhere he looks. They’ll be watching like sentinels(哨兵).‎ ‎ The groundhog is a native American. 54 It may also appear as far north as Alaska. It is hated by farmers. the groundhog eats a third of its weight in a day. What an enormous appetite! It may eat about a half-ton of alfalfa(苜蓿) in a summer. So 10 groundhogs in a big field would eat five tons.‎ ‎ Why do groundhogs eat so much?
