I drove along a road near my home, and this new road and infrastructure was created about 12 years ago. As I drove along it tonight I remembered Kelly.
Kelly was a student when this new road was constructed. Her mother passed away when Kelly was very young. She and her brother were raised by her father. She started to settle in college. The year after I taught her, a dreadful thing happened.
Kelly’s dad was about to turn on to the new road It was a very busy road and was designed so that the user could not automatically turn right. Kelly’s father was not familiar with the road He was driving in the morning with a right turn and then he met with a fatal accident.
Her father’s death put her into bad situation. So I decided to help the poor girl. I wrote that I would help her with one of the 6 modules that she still had to complete on her second and final year of her programme. I knew it would be difficult for Kelly to gain an element of normality but I intended to help her.
At that time I was just divorced from my husband and living in rented accommodation near where Kelly lived. Things were tough for me but I committed to help Kelly, I brought Kelly to my home where I tutored and supported her through the full module. I prepared all the notes. I got her to complete all the assignments at my home so that she would stay focused.
My support also helped her focus on her studies at such a terribly sad time in her life. Kelly’s lecturer was so impressed with her assignments that her teacher got Kelly to explain the higher level parts of the assignments to the rest of the class! This was so good for her self-esteem. Kelly completed her course, and I was so glad that she didn’t drop out.

Scientists in Mexico say they may have found a way to cut production of methane (甲烷), a gas linked to rising temperatures on the Earth’s surface. The scientists say their method may help reduce the methane released by cows, one of the main producers of the gas.
When talking about global warming, many people think of carbon dioxide, another heat- trapping gas. Studies have shown that large amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere re- fleet heat back to earth，causing climate changes. Methane is an even more powerful heat- trapping gas. Cows are known to produce high levels of methane when they eat and process food Farm animals are responsible for 44 percent of all human-caused methane.
Researchers at the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico are studying how a cow’s diet affects the production of methane. The researchers are using a specially designed machine to measure the effect. The scientists use the machine to try to capture the animal’s breathing to examine the methane released.
Most of the gas is released when cows belch (打嗝). The digestive bacteria in a cow’s stomach causes the animal to send out the gas through its mouth. There are an estimated 1.3 to 1.5 billion cows in the world Each animal releases as much as 120 kilograms of methane per year. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that, when measured in pounds» the effect of methane on climate change is more than 25 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period.
As it is difficult to capture the gas released by cows for use as energy, one way to lessen its release is to change their diet. Scientists in some countries are looking for ways to decrease cow methane. But while they are trying different plants and chemical compounds 5 those products would be too costly and difficult to bring to Mexico.
28. What can we learn from to the text?
A. As heat-trapping gas, methane is more harmful than carbon dioxide.
B. Scientists are trying to make use of the methane released by cows for energy.
C. Cows are responsible for the minority of methane released.
D. It is practical to change cows, diet for Mexicans now.
29. How do cows produce methane mainly?
A. By belching. B. By running.
C. By digesting food in their stomachs. D. By breathing in air through mouths.
