On a Friday evening in December, two weeks before Christinas, I lost my job. I hadn't seen it coming. I was excited for the weekend, when my daughter, Krislil, then 12, and I planned to gel our Christmas tree. Then I listened to my voicemail: \"We' re sorry but your work assignment has ended as of today. \" My heart sank. I wasn't just a single parent; I was the only parent. My paycheck was survival. The next day as we searched fbr our tree, I struggled to be cheerful as I eyed each price tag. uIs everything OK?” Kristi 1 asked. \"You seem worricd.^^ “I got some bad news yesterday. I lost my job”，I told her. “Oh no,“ Kristi! said. ”Well, I have $50 from Grandma, and I can give you.\" Absolutely not,“ I told her. Monday morning, I dropped Kristi 1 at school and set off on my moneymaking pursuits. I sold a precious cup at an antique store, washed dishes in a restaurant and ended (he day $120 richer. Over the next week, I furiously applied for jobs as my bank account became smaller. I fell as if the world was closing in on me. On a weekend afternoon, I dropped Kristil in a wealthy gated community for a birthday party. I watched as she went in, surrounded by all the nice things we couldn't afford. I drove home defeated.

As she got out,! realized it was my old professor, Sister Esther Heffernan whom I hadn't seen since we'd met fbr lunch three months ago.

In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted （编织）hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup fbr sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn't surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.
“I am going to telephone seniors,“ said my mother. uEvery night? But you don't even know these people.^^ “It doesn't matter,she said. \"What's important is that I listen/' I was sixteen years old and couldn't understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. \"They will talk your ear off. Some people didn't even stop to catch brcath,^^ I said. My attitude didn't stop my mother's enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. For a while, I listened as she asked the woman on （he other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding fbr dessert?^^ My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. ''Em the only person she talked to today.”
It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I'm the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked fbr dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stoic foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother's calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.

The author realized the value of her mother's efforts. C. The author's mother preferred to live alone.

Tasked with photographing one of the world's most precious big cats, you go deep into the jungle of Southeast Asia and set up a camera (rap. Back at base camp, you look through the images it captures, identifying monkeys, otters and finally, what you have been searching for: the mysterious clouded leopard.
All this, without having to leave the comfort of your own home. A new mobile game, turns one of the largest-ever wildlife camera trap studies into a playable experience. The idea is that by letting players take on the role of a researcher in a real scientific study, the game helps people to better understand wildlife conservation science.
The game is based on an ongoing, decade-long camera trap study by professor David Macdonald and his team at the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at the University of Oxford. The hope is that games can provide new ways fbr people to engage with endangered animals, 4*If you don't have any encounter or experience with elements of nature, then what motivation can you have to take a personal interest in it?” says Macdonald. u I think that detail of understanding brings a great investment in wanting to see a good outcome.”
It uses real photographs from (he study and allow players to identify species within this rapidly worsening environment,Of course, everyone loves attractive photography but there's something just incredibly raw and real about capturing these animals' moments,“ says Macdonald.
“I would like to think that engagement with this game will lead to a feeling of value, which will affect how they think
about nature,M says Macdonald. 4tSo, in that sense, we'd like to be part of a revolution on how people view the role of humanity, alongside the wider environment.^^What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present a finding. B. To lead to the topic. C. To advertise a game.

What is Macdonald's attitude towards the mobile game? A. DoubtfulB. Disapproving C. PositiveD. Indifferent
Cotton bags have become a means for brands, retailers and supermarkets to convey a planet-friendly mindset 一or, at least, to show that the companies are aware of the overuse of plastic in packaging.
Earth-friendly? Not exactly. Il turns out the wholehearted embrace of cotton bags may actually have created a new problem. An organic cotton bag needs to be used 20.000 times to make up for its overall impact of production, according to a 2018 study by the Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark. That is equal to daily use for 54 years — for just one bag. The production of cotton bags is water-intensive, and figuring out how（o deal with a bag in an environmentally low-impact way is not nearly as simple as people think, according （o Travis Wagner, an environmental science professor at the University of Maine.
In sharp comparison with the frequent use of cotton bags, the disposal （处理）of the bags remains less satisfying. Only 15 percent of the 30 million tons of cotton bags produced every year actually is sent to be recycled. Even when a bag does make it to a treatment facility, most dyes （染格I） used to print logos onto them are PVC-based and thus not
recyclable; \"they're extremely difficult to disintegrate （分解）chemically,said Christopher Stanev, the co-founder of Evrnu, a Seattle-based textile recycling firm. Printed patterns have to be cut out of the cloth; Mr. Stanev estimates 10 to 15 percent of the cotton Evrnu receives is wasted this way.
That's not to say cotton is worse than plastic, or that the two should even be compared. While cotton can use pesticides and has dried up rivers from water consumption, lightweight plastic bags use greenhouse gas-emitting fossil fuels and will fill up the oceans.
Buffy Reid, of the knitwear label & Daughter, stopped production of her cotton bags in April this year. Aesop is converting the composition of its shopping bags to a 60 — 40 blend of recycled and organic cotton. Designer Ally Capellino recently employed a new material, while Hindmarch introduced a new version of her original cotton bag, this time made from recycled water bottles.
In the end, the simplest solution may be the most obvious. 4tNot every product needs a bag,“ Comey says. 12. According to paragraph 2, what can wc learn about cotton bags? A. Il is easy to recycle cotton bags. B. Using cotton bags is earth-friendly. C. Producing cotton is water-consuming.
D. Producing cotton bags poses no harm to the earth. 13. What do we know about the disposal of cotton bags? A. A large amount of water is wasted.
B. Printed patterns on cotton bags cannot be recycled. C. Dyes used to print logos are easy （o break down. D. Most cotton bags end up being recycled.
14. What is the author's opinion of comparing cotton with plastic? A. Cotton is worse than plastic. B. Plastic is worse than cotton. C. Both are favorable to the earth. D. Both have disadvantages. 15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Cotton bags — a new fashion B. Not every product needs a bag C. Cotton bags — a way to be earth-friendly D. Are cotton bags harmless to the environment?
It's a cliche （陈词滥调）that everyone's too busy these days. But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully: There's never any time to read.
What makes the problem thorny is that the usual time-management techniques don't seem sufficient. The web's fiill of articles offering tips on making time to read: \"Give up TV\" or “Carry a book with you at all But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 3（） minutes doesn't work. Sit down to read and work-related thoughts keep spinning （旋转）一or else you're so exhausted that a challenging book's the last thing you need. The modem mind, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, 4tis showing more tendency toward communication... It is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually ready fbr interruption.M Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can't be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.
In fhet, “becoming more efficient'' is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it for your specific purposejudging any given moment should be well spent which advances toward some goal. Deep reading, by contrast, depends on being willing to risk inefficiency, goallessness, even time-wasting. Try to arrange it in as a to-do list item and you'll manage only goal-focused reading — useful, sometimes, but not the most fillfilling kind. \"The fiiture comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly endless conveyor belt （传送带）writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time、and “wc feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles （days, hours, minutes） as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, wc will have wasted them.\" No mindset could be worse fbr losing yourself in a book.
So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times fbr reading. You'd think this might fuel the efficiency mindset, but in fact, Eberle notes, such habitual behaviour helps us “step outside time's flow\" into \"soul
You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. ''Carry a book with you at all times^^ can actually work, too - providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the common state from which you can temporarily get away to take care of business, before getting dipped again. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you're \"making time to read,“ but just reading, and making time fbr everything else. 16. Which can best replace the underlined word “thorny\" in Paragraph 2?
A. toughB. pleasantC. slightD. essentialWhy do the usual time-management techniques fail to work? A. The modem mind is not shaped. B. Repetition is required in deep reading. C. People always forget to carry a book with them. D. Deep reading is not fully guaranteed.
17. What docs the \"fill the empty bottles” metaphor in Paragraph 3 imply? A. To update their to-do lists.B. To fulfill (heir passing time. C. To carrj/ out their big plans.D. To pursue carefree reading. 18. Which statement may Eberle agree with?
A. People should devote themselves to reading for fear of wasting time. B. Scheduling regular times fbr reading is helpful in achieving deep reading. C. Deep reading can only be achieved after dealing with all the daily businesses. D. Distractions can be avoided by developing online reading habits.
二、七选五
Yes, trying new things is exciting and mind-expanding and all (hat, but it can also be awkward and embarrassing. No one likes to feel embarrassed and incompetent. 20 Here are a few ways (o feel a lidle better about launching yourself into a new experience—and help you get over the part of that initial misery to the part where it's actually ftin.
First, we should know we're born to be afraid of new experiences. From an evolutionary standpoint, trying new things, fbr much of human history, could have been dangerous. This means that deep in our brains there's a primeval (原始的)fear of looking bad, a fear of not performing as well as others. 21 It's part of being human. Enjoyment will come as the newness fades.
Going in with the right mindset is also important. It's good to have an end goal in mind. 22 Maybe your new hobby is marathons, for example; running one in under (bur hours is a goal, sure, but getting in shape and meeting other runners are worthy outcomes, too.
23 Whatever you're trying, doing a little preparation work beforehand can make your first time a lot less frightening. Want to try your hand at baking? Before you actually bust out the kitchen equipment, maybe watch a few tutorials and take a few minutes to look up all the terms you don't know. Taking up golf? 24 a baseline of knowledge will help you feel a little better the first time you try swinging a club. A. And it is wise to prepare before you start. B. Having an end goal will guide you through. C. Practice playing golf beforehand is a good choice. D. However, it helps to start with a beginner-friendly one.
E. Ifs fine to read a book on the sport before you head to the golf course. F. Unfortunately, i( is unavoidable if beginners want (o learn something new. G. In other words, not loving it right away isn't a sign that you've made a mistake.
