It was 11: 30 at night in a remte village with a ppulatin f 70, and, as she tld the newspaper reprter, “Any time a plane flies ver that late, yu knw smething is wrng.” Nelsn and her sister leaped ut f the sauna, ran t the windw, and saw the prblem — the airprts runway lights were ut. Nelsn threw n sme clthes, jumped int her jeep, and flred it t the airprt, where she fund a lcal pilt trying t turn n the lights manually.
“Nrmally, if yu push the buttn 10 r 15 times, the lights will just light up,” Nelsn tld the reprter. Nt this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilt learned f the plane’s urgent missin — it was a helicpter, there t transprt a seriusly ill lcal girl t the nearest hspital, 280 miles away in anther city.
Nelsn had a plan. Driving her jeep t the end f the runway, she shne her headlights n the rad fr the plane t fllw. Great idea, but it wasn’t enugh. Mre light was needed, s a neighbr called nearly every hme in the village — 32 f them.
Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airprt, many f the drivers still in pajamas. Fllwing directins frm the helicpter pilt, the cars lined up n ne side f the runway. The helicpter made its final apprach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. The yung patient was laded nt the aircraft, and the plane immediately tk ff again.

As peple are becming mre scially cnscius abut where their fd cmes frm and hw it impacts the planet, they are chsing animal-free plant-based ptins. Cw-free meat has been arund fr quite sme time and the ppularity f brands f the cultivated (培育的) meat is rising. While there are a large number f plant-based milk substitutes (替代品), nne f them have the same taste f cw’s milk. Nw, a fd-tech cmpany created real dairy prducts (奶制品) withut harming a single cw r the planet.
The cmpany stresses that their prduct prduced in the lab is nt a milk substitute but rather is the real deal. And it is very healthy. The cmpany als says that the lab-prduced milk tastes the same as the real thing and they hpe t eventually replace cws by creating every dairy prduct sld. They expect t rll ut plant-based cheese and ygurt in additin t milk. “Our cmpany was funded with the missin t stp using animals t prduce ur fd because, as dairy lvers, we realize that giving up n milk is nt a chice,” Jhn said. “But tday’s milk cmes with an unreasnable price tag. The dairy industry is destrying ur planet, ur health, and ur animals, and is simply nt sustainable (可持续的) anymre.”
The envirnmental price tag f dairy farming is t high. Accrding t the Wrld Wildlife Fund, dairy cws add a huge amunt f greenhuse gases t the atmsphere and cntribute t glbal warming and climate change as well as pllute the air arund them. Dairy peratins cnsume large amunts f water and run-ff f manure (粪肥) and fertilizers frm these farms get int lcal waterways. The prductin uses nly 5 percent f the resurces and prduces nly 1 percent f the waste f prducing cw’s milk accrding t the cmpany. And they accmplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms.
8. The fd-tech cmpany’s milk mentined in the text differs frm ther milk substitutes in_______.
A. its varius plant-based flavrB. it tastes the same as cw’s milk
C. its highest utput frm the farmsD. its brad ppularity hme and abrad
9. What can we knw frm Jhn’s wrds in paragraph 2?

B. All the destructive dairy industries shuld be shut dwn.
C. The fd-tech cmpany was set up fr animal prtectin.
D. The fd-tech cmpany aims t prduce animal-free fd.
10. What des the underlined wrd “them” prbably refer t in the last paragraph?
A. Dairy cws.B. Dairy peratins.
C. Climate changes.D. Greenhuse gases.

There is smething t be said fr being a generalist, even if yu are a specialist. Knwing a little abut a lt f things that interest yu can add t the richness f a whle, well-lived life.
Sciety pushes us t specialize, t becme experts. This requires cmmitment t a particular ccupatin, branch f study r research. The drawback t being specialists is we ften cme t knw mre and mre abut less and less. There is a great deal f pressure t master ne’s field. Yu may pursue training, degrees, r increasing levels f respnsibility at wrk. Then yu discver the pressure f having t keep up.
Sme peple seem willing t wrk arund the clck in their narrw specialty. But such cmmitment can als weaken a sense f freedm. These specialists culd wrk at the ffice until ten each night, then lk back and realize they wuld have lved t have gne hme and enjyed the sweetness f their family and friends, r traveled t exciting places, meeting interesting peple. Mastering ne thing t the exclusin (排 除) f thers can hld back yur true spirit.
Generalists n the ther hand, knw a lt abut a wide range f subjects and view the whle with all its cnnectins. They are peple f ability, talent, and enthusiasm wh can bring their brad perspective int specific fields f expertise (专长). The dctr wh is als a pet and philspher is a superir dctr, ne wh can give s much mre t his patients than just gd medical skills.
Things are cnnected. Let yur expertise in ne field fuel yur passins in all related areas. Sme f yur interests may nt appear t be cnnected but, nce yu explre their depths, yu discver that they are. My editr Tni, wh is als a writer, has edited several histry bks. She has decided t study Chinese histry. Fascinated by the structural beauty f the Frbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested t learn mre abut Chinese philsphy. “I dn’t knw where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m n this pursuit.”
These expansins int new wrlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin t see the intercnnectedness f ne thing t anther in all aspects f ur life, f urselves and the universe. Develp brad, general knwledge and experience. The universe is all yurs t explre and enjy.
12. What is gd abut being a generalist?
A. Yu dn’t need t be pushed by sciety.
B. Yu will need t knw less and less.
C. Yu knw mre abut yur ccupatin.
D. Yu can enjy yur life t the fullest.
13. Paragraph 3 mainly talks abut specialists’ ______.
A. chicesB. limitatinsC. regretsD. expectatins
14. Accrding t the authr, a superir dctr is ne wh ________.
A. is fully aware f his talent and ability
B. shuld lve petry and philsphy
C. brings knwledge f ther fields t wrk

Hw t Be a Gd Listener
Whether yu’re cmmunicating in persn r n the phne, being a gd listener is an imprtant part f any healthy relatinship. ____16____If yu’ve wndered whether yu culd be a better listener, the answer is almst certainly “yes”. Making sure the peple in yur life feel truly heard is smething that yu can imprve upn.
Yu appear mre interested when yu invite the speaker t give explanatins, by asking them things that need mre than a “yes” r “n” answer. “An pen-ended questin is an invitatin fr the ther persn t say mre, and cntinue ging deeper int their train f thught, versus (与……相对比) a clse-ended questin that invites a factual answer,” Dr. Bbby explains. ____17____
What yu’re expressing thrugh yur bdy language is as imprtant as what yu say. It’s abut lking in smene’s eyes, smiling and ndding. Shwing with yur face that yu’re fllwing what smene is saying is really imprtant. ____18____Remember that lking int yur laptp camera is like making eye cntact, while breaking it t lk dwnward makes it appear that yu’re ding smething else.
____19____ “Peple can be cnsidered as pr listeners when they dn’t understand what the cnversatin is actually abut n a high level.” Dr. Bbby says. ____20____Maybe they’re really just wanting t express their bad feelings, r talk abut their day. S dn’t try t give suggestins; just listen instead.
A. Listening requires lking at prblems frm ther’s view.
B. In fact, peple nly want t get t knw mre abut thers.
C. This is equally key in virtual cnversatins n a vide chat.
D. Smetimes, peple simply want t talk abut an unhappy situatin.
E. This is smething yu can d t shw that yu’re really listening.
F. Being a bad listener can break that persn’s trust in yur relatinship.
G. Listening desn’t always require ffering slutins — quite the ppsite, in fact.

When my mm was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay n the balcny watching the kids playing in the street. On that balcny I played smetimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years ld and when my mm was absent, she was like a mther t me. The balcny was a great hbby place fr my father. After his wrk he used t grw carnatins (康乃馨) in flwer bxes. His carnatins were red, pink and white, and everyne appreciated them fr their beauty.
He tk care f them with s much lve and devtin. He dealt carefully with his flwers like a mther taking care f her baby. Many times I sat n the flr f the balcny fr hurs bserving him and his lvely flwers with patience. He was always ding smething n that balcny. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcny flr, changing the ptting sil and when the stems were thick, strng and high enugh, he started his imprvement peratin attentively like a dctr.
My dad tk a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem f the carnatin and measured the height. Then he made a small mark n the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enugh t fit in again f barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His jb was then t water the plants and t take care f them. “N ne shuld tuch them,” he said t Mm. Every day, when he came hme frm wrk he went straight t the balcny.
