Humans are responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and species(物種). We take up more space on Earth for our homes and cities. We pollute habitats(棲息地).    illegally hunt and kill animals. All of these activities take resources and habitats away     plants and animals.

Human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.     human populations are growing so fast, animals and plants are disappearing many times faster    they have in the past 65 million years.

Animals and plants have always had a     time surviving. Animals became extinct (滅絕的) in the past for a wide variety of reasons. In some cases, competition for resources among animals led to extinction and in     cases, environmental changes caused extinction.

Fortunately, we humans are beginning to realize our mistakes,      we could destroy everything on Earth. We must not only use our knowledge and abilities to manage the Earth, but to make the Earth     safe and healthy place where all animals and plants——including humans ourselves——can live.

Every year in America, high-school students who want to go to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one’s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English portion（部分）involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.

    But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot. That’s an interesting way to test writing ability, put content aside, have you ever seen young people’s handwriting lately? Or anyone’s for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word. And they hand-write, or more often print, a word or two of identification on luggage and lunch bags. Otherwise penmanship (書(shū)法) — once taught so morally and easefully by second-grade teachers, has gone the way of the dodo bird which has died out.

    Yet today’s kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and legibly (字跡清楚地), for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl of young people who’ve been typing on computers since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one’s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers and earn bigger tax refunds (退稅) because the tax inspectors can actually read the computations (計(jì)算結(jié)果). And don’t forget, we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time, as computers go down when power goes out.

The subjects to be tested in the SAT include ______.

    A. math, English, reading and handwriting

    B. math, grammar, reading and writing

    C. math, foreign language and writing

    D. math, English and handwriting
