Whimsical Nature endowed the Moncton region in Southeastern New Brunswick with an enviable bonanza of oddities. On the seashore at Hopewell Cape, strange reddish rock formations rise like giant Polynesian heads eighty feet in the air-monuments sculpted by tides and winds and frost over countless centuries to fill the aboriginal Indians with awe and inspire their legends. The high domes of some statues are thatched with balsam fir and dwarf black spruce, which always prompts children to ask how the trees got up there.
At Demoiselle Creek a few miles from Hillsborough is a subterranean lake of undetermined size, low-roofed by dripping stone icicles. The white gypsum floor of the lake emerges startlingly visible through the clear water. To step into the cavern entrance on a hot summer day is like unexpectedly walking into a cold storage plant.
When you first glimpse the Peticodiac River at Moncton you may wonder why it is called a river as there is only a little tric
A. under the influence of liquor
B. stupid
C. influenced by the power of suggestion
D. playing a joke on everyone

[单项选择]Beauty in nature is the same everywhere. Nature is full of colour. Plants, animals, birds and insects have many beautiful colours. Colour, however, for animals, birds and insects is not only for beauty. It means life to them, because it helps them hide from the enemies. Birds, for example, use colour to tell other birds to stay away from their nests. They sing and move their wings to show the colour as a warning to other birds. One kind of butterfly is black. It tastes bad to birds. Once a bird eats this kind of butterfly, it remembers the bad taste. One kind of fish can change its colour to the colour of the surrounding plants and rocks. This prevents the fish’s enemies from finding and eating it. Colour is very important to nature, animals, birds and insects. It often save their lives.（）
A. To remember the bad taste.
B. To show their beauty.
C. To stay away from others.
D. To warn other birds.

Understanding how nature responds to climate change will require monitoring key life cycle event-flowering, the appearance of leaves, the first frog calls of the spring all around the world.
But ecologists can’t be everywhere so they’re turning to non-scientists, sometimes called citizen scientists, for help.
Climate scientists are not present everywhere. Because there are so many places in the world and not enough scientists to observe all of them, they’re asking for your help in observing signs of climate change across the world. The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people too observe a very specific research interest--birds, trees, flowers budding, etc. and send their observations to a giant database to be observed by professional scientists. This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they would never be able to gather on their own. Much like citizen journalists
A. to provide their personal life cycles
B. to observe the life cycle of plants
C. to collect data of the life cycle of living things
D. to teach children knowledge about climate change
