Hward Schultz wasn’t the first persn t be carried away by the pleasant smell f a well-rasted cffee bean. But the Starbucks Cffee C. leader was undubtedly the first t turn that dream int a billin-dllar retail business.
Schultz’s adventure started in 1981 when he traveled frm New Yrk t Seattle t check ut a ppular cffee bean stre called “Starbucks” It had been buying many f the Hammarplast Swedish drip cffeemakers he was selling.
There was that great smell, sure, but what caused him t fall in lve with the business was the care the Starbucks wners put int chsing and rasting the beans. He was als impressed with the wners’ devtin t educating the public abut the wnders f the cffee.
It tk Schultz a year t cnvince the Starbucks wners t hire him. When they finally made him directr f marketing and peratins in 1982, he had anther idea. This ne ccurred in Italy, when Schultz nticed the cffee bars that existed n almst every blck. He learned that they nt nly served excellent espresss, they als served as meeting places r public squares, and there were 200,000 f them in the cuntry.
But when he came back t Seattle, the Starbucks wners resisted Schultz’s plans t serve cffee in the stres, saying the restaurant business was cmpetitive, and it was cstly t hire waiters. After all, ecnmic benefits were their primary mtivatr. Frustrated, Schultz quit and started his wn cffee bar business in 1987, named “Il Girnale”. It was successful, and tw years later, the riginal Starbucks management sld its Starbucks retail unit t
Schultz fr $3.8 millin.
As the cmpany began t expand rapidly in the 1990s, Schultz always said that the main gal was “t serve a great cup f cffee”. Asked abut the secret f his success, Schultz tld us the principles: “Dn’t be threatened by peple smarter than yu. Cmprmise anything but yur cre values.”
4. What caused Schultz t jin the Starbucks?

B. His strng desire t imprve himself.
C. The wners’ impressive wrk attitude.
D. His eagerness t sell mre cffeemakers.
5. Why did the Starbucks wners refuse t serve cffee in the stres?
A. Many cffee bars had existed in Seattle.
B. Peple preferred tasting cffee at hme.
C. They tried t avid high cst f labr frce.
D. Their cffee was already ppular n the market.

Only in 2021, fish farms in the US prduced an estimated 307 millin punds f the creatures fr human cnsumptin. But aquaculture (水产养殖) is cmplicated by infectins and diseases, which kill millins f farmed fish year after year. Nw, researchers frm Auburn University say they’ve devised a creative slutin t this prblem: injecting alligatr (短吻鳄) DNA int farm-raised catfish.
Alligatrs have a gene that helps them prduce a prtein called cathelicidin. Scientists say cathelicidin helps prevent infectins develping in the wunds alligatrs sustain while fighting with each ther. The catfish researchers wndered whether this same gene might als be able t help catfish avid disease. T find ut, they used the CRISPR gene-editing tl t insert the alligatr gene cntaining a blueprint fr cathelicidin int the genme (基因组) f catfish.
The researchers were afraid that if the genetically mdified (GM) catfish escaped r were released int nature fr sme reasn, they culd ptentially utcmpete wild catfish and set ff a chain reactin that might harm the species and its ecsystem. S they decided t inject the alligatr gene int the part f the catfish genme that regulates a hrmne the fish need t be able t lay eggs. This sterilized (使绝育) the GM fish.
The researchers expsed bth gene-edited and unchanged catfish t tw types f bacteria that can cause infectins. The GM fish survived at rates that were 2-5 times higher than their unedited cunterparts, the findings suggest. This shws the additin f alligatr genes made catfish mre impervius t infectin.
But the technique isn’t straightfrward r easy, and scientists wuld likely need t repeat it fr each new rund f fish. Beynd that, the Auburn researchers wuld need t g thrugh the lengthy prcess f getting the GM catfish apprved fr human cnsumptin by the US Fd and Drug Administratin. They may als have an uphill battle cnvincing cnsumers t eat GM fish.
8. What makes the Auburn research significant and necessary?
A. The large number f alligatrs.
B. The advantages f aquaculture.
C. The glbal demand fr health.
D. The gap between demand and supply f catfish.

B. They did a great deal f questinaire research.

D. They experimented t test their assumptin.
10. What des the underlined wrd “impervius” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Resistant.B. Friendly.
C. Sensitive.D. Expsed.
11. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. The catfish research has already received sme dubts.
B. Further research int farmed catfish will be prhibited.
C. It’s a lng way fr GM catfish t make it t the dining table.
D. GM catfish are rejected by the FDA and American peple.

The term pverty refers t the state r cnditin in which peple r cmmunities lack the financial resurces and essentials fr a minimum standard f living. As such their basic human needs cannt be met. Pverty-stricken peple and families may g withut prper husing, clean water, healthy fd, and medical attentin. Each natin may have its wn criteria fr determining the pverty line and cunting hw many f its peple live in pverty. It’s imprtant t remember that pverty is a sciecnmic cnditin that is the result f multiple factrs — nt just incme.
Pverty is bth an individual cncern as well as a brader scial prblem. On the individual r husehld level, nt being able t make ends meet can lead t a range f physical and mental issues. At the scietal level, high pverty rates can be an bstacle (障碍) t ecnmic grwth and be assciated with prblems like unemplyment, educatin, and pr health.
Pverty is a difficult cycle t break and ften passes frm ne generatin t the next. It is ften determined by sciecnmic status, and gegraphy. Many peple are brn int pverty and have little hpe f vercming it. Others may fall int pverty because f negative ecnmic cnditins, natural disasters, r rising living csts.
The United Natins and the Wrld Bank are majr advcates f reducing wrld pverty. The Wrld Bank has an ambitius target f reducing pverty t less than 3% f the glbal ppulatin by 2030.Yu may wnder whether pverty can be slved. The answer t this questin is cmplicated. If it were easy r bvius, pverty wuld n lnger be such a big issue. Scial welfare prgrams and private philanthrpy (慈善事业) are ways t prvide fr thse in pverty, alng with access t essentials like clean water, gd fd, and adequate healthcare. Hwever, mre is needed. Prgrams that encurage the disadvantaged t btain skills, jbs, and educatin are als imprtant as a lnger-term cure.
12. What can we learn abut pverty frm the first paragraph?
A. It has a wrldwide standard.
B. It is actually judged by incme.
C. It usually invlves many aspects.
D. It refers t underdevelped regins.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The causes f pverty.

14. What des the authr think f slving pverty?
A. It must be authrized by the UN.
B. It is a cmplex and difficult task.
C. It may affect the glbal ppulatin.
D. It is the majr task f welfare prgrams.
15. What des the underlined phrase “the disadvantaged” in the last paragraph refer t?

As I std n the beach, watching the baby turtle swim away int the cean, I felt a sense f peace wash ver me. It was as if my small act f kindness had smehw made a difference in the wrld. I knew that there were cuntless creatures ut there, struggling t survive, and I was grateful t have been able t help just ne f them.

One day, as I was walking alng the same stretch f beach, I saw smething mving in the sand. At first, I thught it was just a crab r a seashell, but as I gt clser, I realized that it was a small turtle. It was bigger than the last ne I had saved, but it had the same distinctive markings n its shell. Culd it be the same turtle that I had helped a few weeks ag?
I picked it up and examined it carefully. It was hard t tell fr sure, but smething abut its eyes seemed familiar. And as I held it in my hands, I felt a sudden surge f affectin fr this little creature. It was as if we had a special bnd, a cnnectin that went beynd wrds r actins.
