专练（2）
1.    American track and field athlete Jacqueline Joyner-Kersee once said, “Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.” And 50-year-old Indian Lakyntiew Syiemlieh stands an evidence for this saying. She recently cleared her Class 12 board exams. Lakyntiew, who has four children and two grandchildren, decided to go after her higher secondary education over three decades after dropping out of school. Earlier this year, she was one of the 24,267 students who appeared for the state board's Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate(HSSLC) exam. Lakyntiew took part in the exams for the arts stream and had chosen subjects like Khasi, English, Political Science, Economics, and Education as her areas of specialization.
    On July 13, 2020, when the results were announced, she was excited. "Though I only got the third division(分段), my children were still so excited that they started shouting, hugging, and kissing me when the results were declared," said Lakyntiew.
    In fact, the grandmother of two has expressed her interest in pursuing(追求) higher studies in the field of local language. Lakyntiew took up a distance education course offered by a university in 2015. She stopped going to school because mathematics was too difficult for her to understand. She was offered a job to teach in a preschool in 2008, and that was the beginning of her love for re-learning.
    Being the oldest student in the class, most of Lakyntiew's classmates called her as "Mei", which means "mother" in the local language. Besides concentrating on academics, she also participated in after-class activities like field trips, dance competitions, and singing challenges, among others.

2.    Deciding to get her money's worth out of the wedding dress on which she spent over $1,000, an Australian woman has been wearing her wedding dress, a year after her wedding.
    43-year-old Tammy Hall adopted a new lifestyle-anti-consumerism (反消费主义) lifestyle in 2016, after a trip to India opened her eyes to how much we as a society consumed.

Wearing it on a crowded train was especially funny, but I've worn it to do housework, to football games and to the gym."
    Hall says that she has gotten some strange looks from people, but no annoying comments. Anyway, she doesn't really care, because she knows she has to hit the goal she has set and wearing the dress multiple times is the most reasonable way she could think of to make the most of her wedding dress.

3.    Ray is a physical education teacher at Central Algoma Secondary School. This year, most of their classes were remote due to the COVID-19 pandemic(流行病).
    One day, Ray was talking to his daughter Sadie, who was set to graduate. The school was planning to have teachers hand-deliver diplomas(毕业文凭) to each student's home, but Sadie asked her dad if she could receive hers on a nearby outdoor stage instead.
    "I said, 'Sure, I'll do that. No problem. Is there anybody else who would like to receive their diploma on the stage?'" Ray said. "And she said, 'Yeah, everybody would like to get their diploma on the stage.'"

    "It's such an important event for so many people.…It was almost like the first win that we've had in a year and a half after being beaten down," Ray said. "We finally get to do this one thing that we'll remember for the rest of our lives."
    Over the course of two days in late June, Ray traveled over 250 miles to give 72 graduates their big moment!
    Joel Lamoureux was one student who received his diploma on the portable stage. His mom, Krissie Lamoureux, said the experience felt relaxed and easy while still providing an important photo opportunity for this milestone in their lives.
    "It was extremely personal," she added. "It's really hard as a parent to watch your child graduate from a distance and not be able to really be a part of anything."

4.For Robert Valderzak of Washington D.C. , Tuesday’s earthquake was a miracle(奇迹). Ever since he fell and got his skull (颅骨) broken on Father’s Day, 75-years-old Valderzak had suffered severe hearing loss. But after the 5.8 quake, he could hear everything.
Valderzak was chatting with his daughter and three sons when the quake hit D.C.’s Veterans Affairs Hospital, where he was batting cancer. “ It shook me terrible—right out of the bed,” said Valderzak. “ But after that it stopped. And my son talked to me, and I could hear his voice.”
Tests confirmed Valdezak’s significant hearing improvement. But his doctors think they have a medical explanation for the “miracle”. He had conductive(传导性的) hearing loss, caused by a liquid in his middle ear, as well as loss due to nerve damage.” Said Dr. Ross Fletcher, chief of staff at the VA Hospital. “ A combination of a drug he was taking and the earthquake event itself likely led to him losing the liquid and gaining back his hearing.”
Dr. Jennifer Smullen of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary said the shaking itself might not have been enough to clear the fluid from Valderzak’s inner ear.” But if somebody is suddenly surprised, and shouts out, sometimes that’s enough to clear some fluid out the ear drum,” she said.
Valderzak had adjusted to his hearing loss with the help of a special microphone and some training in lip reading. But he situation was far from satisfactory.
“ The devices helped, but by the time I got them all connected up, everyone had left and I was talking to myself,” he said, adding that lip reading meant he could only talk to one person at a time. But now he can talk to all four of his kids again.
1.What was Valderzak doing when the earthquake happened?
A.Enjoying the Father’s Day party.
B.Talking with his children in hospital
C.Visiting a hospital with his children
D.Receiving treatment for his hearing loss
2.What caused Valderzak to gain back his hearing according to Dr. Smullen?
A.A drug he was taking B.The powerful earthquake
C.A drug and the earthquake D.The shaking and his own shouting
3.What do the underlined words “lip reading” probably refer to?
A.Reading silently without moving lips.
B.Talking to oneself to improve the speed of speaking
C.Understanding speech by observing the movements of lips
D.Moving lips in special ways so as to produce the best sounds
4.What type of writing is this text?

    Liu Jichen, a student from Tsinghua University, has developed a Wechat mini-program
called Clear Your Plate. After a meal. users can open the mini-program and take a picture of their empty plates. Once the image is recognized by the AI, students can collect points and use them to buy gifts or charity meals which will be donated to children in poor rural areas. Liu and his team launched the Clear Your Plate campaign in November, 2020 for the third year. It has swept over 1, 017 universities across the country. The one-month campaign attracted almost 1.6 million participants and collectively reduced food waste by 862 tons and carbon emissions by 3,337 tons.
    The idea, to develop such a mini-program came from Liu's experience in a canteen. In 2017, he found that a restaurant would give diners who finished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected. “Technological innovation is a good way to reduce food waste, ”Liu thought. He organized a team of 20 members to work on the proiect at the end of 2017. To solve the AI’s problem of identifying photos of empty plates, the team spent half a year collecting over 100,000 samples in canteens and restaurants. In 2018. the mini-program was officially put into operation. They then launched a campaign later that year.
  There were so many unknowns in research and development. For our team members. the biggest psychological challenge was whether we were confident enough to complete it, ”said Liu
Now, they have achieved their goal, and the mini-program has more than five million registered users.
   “We hope that our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation by encour- aging them to cherish their food and develop the habit of thrift(节约),” Liu said.“ Through the campaign, we hope to inspire everyone to take action against food waste and contribute Chinese wisdom and solutions to global food security challenges.”

7.Szilajka Erzsebet is a Hungarian artist who turns ordinary pebbles(鹅卵石) into amazing works of art. The artist says she’s inspired by the pebbles’ shape, the richness of their patterns, and the beauty of nature. “I use all the pebbles in their original form shaped only by nature itself.” says Szilajka.
When Szilajka is creating her art, she lets her feelings shape the details. “This way the completed picture becomes dynamic in spite of the fact that the pebbles themselves play a static(静态的) role in the work of art,” explains the artist. “It’s like a photo taken in the perfect time. It includes the movement, the feeling, the story which can be continued. This way there are not only pebbles in the pictures but invisible fingerprints and ‘soul-prints’ as well.”
When creating her art, Szilajka often relies on her customers’ ideas but uses her artistic freedom as well. “If I only listen to myself, I do think that the most essential elements in life stand on the simplest things,” says the artist. “For me, art is adding that little something extra to simple subject matters.”
The artist believes that the completed work of art is not only her own but a common creation of the artist and the receiver. “These two things together is pebble art,” explains Szilajka. “It only becomes a real work of art if it really means something to the receivers as they have the opportunity to add their own feelings and thoughts as well. Pebbles have no face, so anyone can enter and play a part in a pebble picture…”

A.It’s original and dynamic.
B.It’s creative and picturesque.

9.Losing a parent is one of the most painful parts of life. No matter how old we are when they leave us, it can be a painful experience. Our memories are all that is left of them and happy reminders of their love turn into our most valuable treasures.
That's how Mara Soriano feels about a very special teddy bear she lost in her recent move to a new apartment.
The toy bear didn't cost a lot, but it contained a recording of her late mother's voice telling her that she loved her and was proud of her. The bear, called "Mama Bear," was in a backpack that contained electronics like an iPad and a Nintendo Switch. When the bag was missing last week during the move, the 28-year-old, was heartbroken—not for the electronics, but for Mama Bear.
So she posted online about the item lost and the story behind it. Luckily, Mara's search soon became a hit. Meanwhile, Mara was out searching. She put up posters, dug through dustbins, and communicated with others online, following any lead she could.
Actor Ryan Reynolds posted an appeal for its safe return. "I think we all need this bear to come home," he wrote. Along with the message, he also set a price of $5,000 for the return.
Then on Tuesday night, Mara's special bear came home. It's a bit of a modern-day wonder that would never have happened without social media. Mara said she got an email from someone who told her they had the bear.
Mara is getting married next summer and the bear is going to have a special seat at the ceremony—the one her mother would sit in. For now, she's keeping "Mama Bear" close and sending thanks to those who helped with the happy reunion.
