A woman and her friends were lucky enough to see wild Amur tiger, an endangered species, for two days during the New Year holiday. They spotted the rare animals while driving on mountain-climbing trips in Hunchun, Northeast China's Jilin province.

The woman, surnamed Zhao, was driving with two friends when they first saw a cub tiger near the Sandaogou village of Hunchun on Jan. 1st, CCTV News reported. Zhao said the young tiger looked chubby and cute. When the tiger saw them, it turned and ran. “We wished to see a wild tiger once, and I didn’t expect our wish would come true on the first day of the new year!?” Zhao said.

The next day, when Zhao and her friends drove to where they saw the young tiger a day before, they found an even bigger one. Compared with the cub, the adult did not rush to run away after seeing their car but sat there and watched them for a moment before it "walked slowly into the woods", Zhao said.

"How lucky they are!" many netizens commented. The year 2022 is the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese lunar calendar.

Many of us have dreams of being our own boss and starting our own businesses, and one woman has been able to make her dreams a reality with the help of a complete change of lifestyle.

Catherine White, 46, spent her teenage years washing cars in order to make ends meet and now she owns a £20 million business empire. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, she said, “My childhood was so unstable, so I always wanted and needed to be independent. I didn't believe working for someone else gave me that and my future would still rely on someone else.”

At 24, Catherine started her. first business from a desk in her sister's art school but she was struggling with a panic disorder at the time and would find comfort in junk food, which led her to follow an unhealthy lifestyle.

And the business mogul（大亨）believes changing her lifestyle also helped her succeed in her career as she is no longer scared of making decisions or speaking in public.

This year, Catherine aims to grow one of the companies under her Freedom Services Group umbrella, Stella Insurance. She set it up in Australia for women. With each deal, the business donates $5 to a charity, and plans are underway to launch in the UK.

Researchers from London’s Queen Mary University studied how participants were affected by pollution based on where they live. In the journal Circulation on Friday, the scientists revealed that air pollution can harm the heart to the point where it resembles (类似) the early stages of heart failure.

According to Emory Healthcare, deaths have decreased around 12 percent per decade on average over the past 50 years, but 287,000 people die frorn heart failure each year. There are more hospitalizations from heart failure each year than all cancers combined.

In this study, the scientists examined information from 4,000 participants that were in the UK Biobank study. Volunteers had blood tests, health scans and heart MRIs, which measured the function, size and weight of their hearts. They also recorded their lifestyle, health record and where they’ve lived.

The team found participants had larger right and left ventricles (心室) in the heart when they lived closer to busy roads and were exposed to nitrogen dioxide (NOz), which enters the air when fuel is burned. The right and left ventricles are crucial for pumping blood. They were healthy but resembled the ventricles in early-stage heart failure. The scientists found that the higher the exposure to the pollutants, the greater the changes in the heart.

“Air pollution should be seen as a modifiable risk factor,” Dr. Nay Aung, who led the data analysis of the study, said in a statemnent from Queen Mary University. “The public all need to be aware of their exposure when they think about their heart health, just like they think about their blood pressure and their weight.”

Professor Jeremy Pearson, Associate Medical Director at the British Heart Foundation said in the statement from Queen Mary University, “We can’t expect people to move home to avoid air pollution, so government and public bodies must act right now to make all areas safe and protect the population from these harm.”

8. What is the finding of the study?

A. Air pollution causes many people to die.

B. People have big problems of heart health.

C. People’s houses have a great effect on the heart.

D. Air pollution makes our hearts at risk of heart failure.

9. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about heart failure?

A. It can be cured easily. B. It remains a serious threat.

C. It’s the most common illness. D. It causes people to suffer cancers.

10. What did the team find on the participants exposed to air pollution?

A. They had many health problems. B. Their ventricles worked better.

C. Their hearts were out of danger. D. The size of their hearts was bigger.

11. Which of the following is Dr. Nay Aung’s suggestion?

A. Moving to safer areas. B. Living far away from crowds.

C. Taking notice of air pollution. D. Taking blood pressure regularly.

D

An economist, Adam Smith, famously wrote that “it is not from the benevolence (慈善) of the butcher, the brewer or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest.” Like Smith, many economists today believe that one’s self-interest is what drives competition and growth in market economies. Yet, in an increasingly interconnected society, it is even more crucial to have collaborative skills. Thus we should encourage cooperation to better prepare children for the future.

Firstly, in the present age marked by the transformative potential of technology to facilitate interactions, cooperation is an especially prized soft skill to have. As a research study proves, soft skills such as good communication and empathy consist of qualitative indicators of outstanding employees as compared to technical skills or knowledge. In contrast, excessively (过分地)competitive and individualistic behaviour may fracture social relations in the community of co-workers and since no man is an island, even the most competent employee will not be able to pursue his goals effectively without the help of others who are able to share a common vision and understanding.

Moreover, encouraging cooperation increase a healthy sense of self-esteem in children that better prepares them for the competitive working world. Many modern societies today are consumed by an obsessive drive for success and the pressure to perform has infiltrated both classrooms and offices alike. The consequences of the fierce competitive culture include higher rates of anxiety and depression among university students and office workers, which are all counterproductive.  

Teamwork can help a maturing individual realise that each has his or her own unique set of abilities to bring to the table and that another person’s strengths do not in any way diminish (降低)the value of his or her talents. Thus, cooperation can affirm the self-worth of children by correcting the violent insight that winning or paper achievement is an exclusive (唯一)measure of success in life.

However, critics may claim that in a cutthroat world, adapting to competition should be of supreme priority in education and parenting. To achieve one’s deepest ambitions, such as to become a medical student, or to create a tech start-up, one has to adopt competition by actively fighting for opportunities and distinguishing oneself from others. Nevertheless, since passion can already stimulate children to work hard to fulfill their ambitions, the need to encourage competition may be at the end of the day. As much as external competition can drive people to pursue excellence, internal motivation is at least equally or arguably even more essential, and collaboration plays an instrumental role in helping one uncover one’s tendency and motivations.

12. What can be inferred from Adam Smith’s words?

A. Our society is increasingly interconnected.

B. Our dinner is made out of the regards to markets.

C. Self-interest pushes the development of economies.

D. The butcher, the brewer or the baker is not sympathy.

13. What does the underlined word “fracture” mean in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Deepen. B. Establish. C. Maintain. D. Damage.

14. Which of the following might the author agree with?

A. Paper achievement is an exclusive measure of success.

B. Confidence and ambitions can be achieved through cooperation.

C. Actively fighting for distinguishing oneself is a healthy competition.

D. Competition is not essential for people to pursue excellence.

15. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To introduce parents the advantages of cooperation.

B. To inform parents to balance cooperation and competition.

C. To persuade parents to care about their children’s education.

D. To tell parents to encourage their children to learn to cooperate.

 “I’m sorry” are two very important words that play a big part in daily life. You might apologize while squeezing through a crowd or using the last of the printer paper at work. It’s easy to say “I’m sorry”, but true apologies are a different story. ____16____ Or you may wonder how to properly demand an apology if the other person is at fault? With the following tips, you’ll find these are not hard.

Apologize sincerely. A genuine apology can help repair your relationship, and even your reputation—you’re showing that you can be trusted to do what’s right. But your relationship will remain tense if your apology seems casual. ____17____

Apply specific principles. A meaningful apology comes down to the three R’s- regret, responsibility and remedy (补救办法). Firstly, communicate your regret. Show the other person you have recognized your error and can relate to his/her pain. Then take complete responsibility. ____18____   Lastly, show that you’re working to improve the situation. Offer to make up for the harm you caused or promise you wouldn’t repeat it again.

    _____19___ If you’re the offended (冒犯) party, describe what’s changed in the relationship and your true feeling. For example, you could say, “Although there’s a disagreement between you and me, I want us to be friends again. But I’ve been hurt, and I’d like an apology. I need you to acknowledge what you’ve done.”

Don’t expect immediate forgiveness. Most people hope for immediate forgiveness while apologizing, but that may mean you don’t respect the others’ emotions and all you care about is yourself. ____20____   After all, they were hurt and it would take them a while to recover.

A. Ask for an apology if necessary.

B. Don’t make excuses or blame the victim.

C. Say sorry first if both parties are at fault.

D. So you have to be truly willing to apologize.

E. You should make sure your words are acceptable.

F. So give them some time to come out of the pain after your apology.

G. You may have trouble finding the right way to send meaningful apologies.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom.

One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child. The fire spread quickly, and the situation was terrible.

Neighbors called the fire department, and then stood helplessly by, unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances. The little girl appeared at an upstairs window, crying for help, just as word spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.

Suddenly, a man appeared with a ladder, put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside. When he reappeared, he had the little girl in his arms. He delivered the child to the waiting arms below, and then disappeared into the night.

An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives, and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up.

A teacher said she would like to raise the child. She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education. A farmer offered her an up-bring on his farm. He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying. Others spoke, giving their reasons why it was to the child’s advantage to live with them.

Finally, the town’s richest resident rose and said, “I can give this child all these advantages that you have mentioned here, plus money and everything that money can buy.”

Throughout all this, the child remained silent, her eyes on the floor.

“Does anyone else want to speak?” asked the meeting chairman. A man came forward from the back of the hall. He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain.
