The OOH lists careers that look like promising opportunities for the next 10 years or so. Some involve treating patients, some involve managing people, and others are mainly about working with computers.

Medical and Health Services Manager

Health care is a big and complicated business. Providing care to patients is only part of it. There’s also the work of scheduling appointments, collecting payments, keeping medical records, and teaming up with other care providers.

Educational Requirements: At least a bachelor’s degree in a field such as health administration or health management, plus some experience working in the health care field.

Operations Research Analyst

An operations research analyst’s job is to use mathematical and analytical methods to find the best strategies for distributing resources, managing supply chains, developing production schedules, and setting prices.

Educational Requirements: Most entry-level jobs in this field require a bachelor’s degree, and some employers prefer candidates with a master’s degree. Common college majors for future operations research analysts include business, operations research, mathematics, engineering, and computer science.

Web Developer

There are several kinds of Web developers: front-end developers responsible for the appearance of the site and how users interact with it, back-end developers for the site’s framework, which makes it run smoothly and allows for changes when necessary and webmasters in charge of maintaining websites, keeping them updated and meeting users’ requirements.

Educational Requirements: The education required for a job in Web development varies. Most Web developers have an associate’s degree in Web design or a related field. However, some employers hire Web developers with only a high school diploma for front-end development while others require a bachelor’s degree in a field like computer science, particularly for back-end development.

As a senior school graduate, during COVID-19 outbreak, I’ve had many concerns, the greatest one of which was being unable to help my community, except for wearing my mask, following the health officials’ guidelines, and assisting seniors to get their groceries.

Then it struck me. Solving COVID-19 relied only on individual steps and the goodwill of human consciousness. But the next challenge we have to deal with ahead is climate change, known as the silent pandemic without a vaccine (疫苗) . So, all I could think of was: Why don’t we do the same, and deal with it through our everyday activities?

I’ve created an App, EnRoute, to help reduce carbon emissions (排放) from shopping and transport activities. Even though I’ve never coded before, my will was greater than any excuse I could think of. The first version was just a one-screen App. Through the quarantines (隔离), I’ve had only 70 people to test the concept with and created little impact. Plus, leading a social organization seemed like a small boat in a rough sea to me. But instead of giving up, I chose to fill the gap.

And the coolest thing is that the more I was learning, the more people got interested in the idea. Through every leadership program, I built a stronger EnRoute Community where each person was equally passionate and brave to make a change. Their enthusiasm was my greatest fuel. At least I travelled across the world without a single carbon emission.

Fast forward to today, through EnRoute, over 4, 000 people reduced more than 150, 000 kg carbon emissions. The App turned into an international movement. And I even had the pleasure to be the first-ever Macedonian Global Teen Leader Princess Diana Award Winner.

It turns out that except for being a good time to reflect and relax, bridge years can be a powerful tool to change the world as well!

4. How did the author feel during COVID-19?

A. Helpless. B. Alarmed. C. Worried. D. Ignorant.

5. What inspired the author to create the App, EnRoute?

A. Individual devotion to pandemic prevention.

B. The author’s involvement in community service.

C. The influence of human activities on global warming.

D. The difference between carbon emissions and COVID-19.

6. What is the benefit of the App?

A. It unites many countries.

B. It gets many people to change.

C. It inspires the author to enjoy himself.

D. It proves the author’s ability to change others.

7. Which of the following can best describe the author?

A Patient and caring. B. Capable and outgoing.

C. Creative and generous. D. Determined and responsible.

C

A new report connects eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease The results follow several earlier studies that found eating eggs was generally healthy. The study collects data from six other earlier studies. It shows a 6 percent increased risk of heart disease when the number of eggs a person ate each day increased by half an egg.

Norrina Allen, an associate professor at Northwestern University said that, in the United States, eggs are generally one of the top sources of cholesterol(胆固醇)in a person’s daily food. People with higher levels of cholesterol in their food are at increased risk of the development of heart disease later in life. However, Allen added that she would not say that eggs are completely unhealthy. “I’m not saying that people should take them completely out of their food,” she said. “I’m just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount.”

Some experts believe the new study does not prove that eggs are causing heart disease. “Cholesterol’s role in the development of heart disease has been discussed for more than 30 years,” said Bruemmer, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting at a single time point,” he added.

Bruemmer said, “Eggs in moderation(适度)are probably acceptable from a nutritional standpoint.” “Moderation,” he added, “is less than one egg a day, including eggs in foods such as bread”.

Holly Andersen, a doctor at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, agrees that the study has “real shortcomings”. One problem Andersen has with the study is that a lot of the egg-eating people in the study also appeared to be eating much meat and processed meat. “If you’re taking a lot of processed meat, it doesn’t matter how many eggs you’re eating,” Andersen said.

Also, Andersen said, “The study can only show there is a relation between eggs eating and heart disease. But it cannot prove eggs are the cause of the disease. It may just be that people eating a lot of eggs are also taking a lot of bacon.”

8. What does Norrina Allen agree with?

A. Eggs are completely unhealthy.

B. Eggs contain the most cholesterol.

C. Eggs should be eaten in a right amount.

D. Eggs have no connection with heart disease.

9. What is Bruemmer’s attitude towards the study?

A. Interested. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Hopeful.

10. What can we learn from Holly Andersen’s words?

A. Eggs and meat cannot be eaten together.

B. Processed meat may cause heart disease.

C. Processed meat should be avoided.

D. The study is supported by evidence.

11. What’s the best title of the text?

A. Do eggs cause heart disease?

B. Are eggs the top source of cholesterol?

C. What’s the proper amount of eggs eaten?

D. Is the cholesterol to blame for heart disease?

D

Buying furniture is easier than ever. You can even order a new table and chairs online without ever leaving home. But did you ever think about how furniture is made? The process begins with trees but now researchers have found a better way: growing it in a lab instead of a forest. Instead of cutting down trees and adding to deforestation, Velasquez-Garcia said, “If you want a table, then you should just grow a table.”

The research group found a way to actually grow plant tissue (组织) — wood and fiber — in a lab that is similar to the way cultured meat is grown. While there is still a long way to go to actually grow a table, the team was able to grow structures from cells from zinnia leaves.

Making furniture and other items from biomaterials could eliminate cutting down trees in forests. “The way we get these materials hasn’t changed in centuries and is very inefficient,” said Velasquez-Garcia. “This is a real chance to avoid all that inefficiency.”

There are other benefits to using lab wood too. Lab grown wood can be handled to take on any shape — like 3 D printing — so it may be possible to build a table without glue or screwing parts together.

Beckwith, a mechanical engineering PhD student, was inspired by a visit to a farm to try to make land-use more efficient and environmentally sound. “That got me thinking: Can we be more strategic (战略上的) about what we’re getting out of our process? Can we get more yield for our inputs?” she told MIT News. “I wanted to find a more efficient way to use land and resources so that we could let more farmlands remain wild, or to remain lower production but allow for greater biodiversity.”

Today, the two largest uses of trees are to make wood products and paper. When new biomaterials become readily available, forests will lose their economic value and will be preserved for their environmental, health, and recreational value. These researchers, like Velasquez-Garcia, are speaking for the trees.

12. What does the author think of growing furniture according to Paragraph 1?

A. It turns out to be convenient.

B. It’ll cut down daily expense.

C. It might have a bright future.

D. It’s as important as making furniture.

13. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Risk. B. Fancy. C. Remove. D. Delay.

14. What is the purpose of Beckwith’s growing furniture?

A. To make large profits.

B. To keep biodiversity.

C. To increase production.

D. To use wild resources.

15. What’s the key to protecting forests?

A. Wide use of new biomaterials.

B Less use of wood products and paper.

C. Making effective forest laws.

D. Caring more for the environment.
