How far would you go to make a good impression at a new job? A college student in Alabama walked 32 kilometers in the dark to get to his new job. The story begins with Walter Carr's car breaking down the night before starting a new job. Carr was unable to find a ride. So, he figured out how long it would take to walk from his house to the job in Pelham-32 kilometers away. He left at midnight so that he could make it to the customer's house by 8：00 am the next morning. Pelham police saw him walking along a highway at 4-00 am. So, they stopped to see if he needed help. After hearing his story, they took him to a restaurant for breakfast and then to a church where he could safely wait until 8：00 am. The police then took Carr to the home of customer Jenny Lamey.

To stay safe during the COVID-19, we have had to sacrifice many things we enjoy, including physical contact with others. Gone are handshakes, kisses and hugs. Research has shown that humans need physical touch to stay mentally and physically healthy. Without it, many become lonely, sad and even sick. So, if you feel you need a hug, we know something you can safely put your arms around and hold close ： A tree! Tree hugging may sound a little strange. But humans have practiced forms of nature therapy for years. The Japanese practice of shinrin-Yoko is an example. Shinrin means forest in Japanese, and yoku is the Japanese word for bath. But no soap or water is needed for shinrin-yoku. All that nature bathing requires is spending time in nature ： listening to its sounds, breathing in its scent, connecting to its life force. Recently, Israel has been promoting tree hugging on social media. The country's nature and parks agency is behind the public health campaign. Orit Steinfeld is marketing director for Israel's Apollonia National Park. "In this unpleasant period, she said, we recommend to people around the world to go out to nature, take a deep breath, hug a tree, express your love and get love. ” Israel's tree - hugging campaign is not the first one. Iceland's Forest Service launched a similar effort in April. They advised everyone in the country to hug a tree for at least five minutes every day. The story on Iceland's tree-hugging campaign was also reported on TreeHugger. com. 【1】What's the main purpose of the first paragraph? A.To show the findings of a research. B.To state the cause of social distance. C.To introduce the reason for tree hugging. D.To explain the effect of physical contact. 【2】What does the underlined word “therapy" in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Treatment. B.Medicine. C.Study. D.Experience. 【3】What can be inferred from the practices mentioned in the text? A.They were all started by the medical departments. B.Nature plays a role in helping people keep healthy. C.Tree hugging is the best way to deal with the disease. D.Shinrin-Yoku is the first practice during the COVID-19. 【4】Where is this text most likely from? A.A diary. B.A guidebook. C.A novel. D.A magazine. |

The world' s largest iceberg is floating toward the island of South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Scientists fear the iceberg could crash into the island and block major feeding areas for a large population of penguins and seals. The huge iceberg, named A68a, broke away from Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf in 2017. It has since floated toward South Georgia, a British overseas territory. Satellite images show the iceberg has remained in one piece, about 150 kilometers long and 48 kilometers wide, which is traveling at one kilometer an hour and is on a path to hit South Georgia in around 30 days. The British Antarctic Survey says it is concerned that if the iceberg hits the island, it could prevent the penguins and seals from reaching food supplies. Professor Geraint Tarling, an ecologist with the Survey, says right now is the time of year when seals and penguins spend a lot of time caring for their young. This means the distance that parents have to travel to find food is important. Ecologists say an iceberg crash would also disturb materials settled on the seabed, possibly polluting the surrounding seas. As the iceberg melts （融化），it would also release large amounts of fresh water into the ocean. This could affect krill （磷虾）populations that are a major source of food for the island's wildlife. Tarling says the iceberg could remain for 10 years and change the area's whole ecosystem. These are globally significant populations of these species. If these species fail in this particular area, then the numbers globally are going to go down quite dramatically. ” The breaking off of icebergs from Antarctica is a natural process. But the process is changing with climate change. "What we' re seeing with models and some observations now is the rate at which this is happening is increasing. And so, this might become more of a usual thing into the future, “ Tarling said. The iceberg also could damage South Georgia's valuable fishing industry. Fishers pay for the rights to catch Patagonian toothfish, icefish and krill in waters off the island. Officials are hoping that changing weather patterns could direct the iceberg out into the open ocean, where it would, in time, break up and melt. 【1】How will the floating iceberg probably affect penguins? A.It will force them to move away. B.It will destroy their food supplies. C.It will occupy their feeding areas. D.It will prevent them from getting food. 【2】Which species plays the most important role in the whole ecosystem of this area? A.Krill. B.Seal. C.Icefish. D.Penguin. 【3】What do officials hope to do to reduce the effect of the floating iceberg? A.Break it into pieces. B.Lead it to the open ocean. C.Stop it from moving. D.Sink it to the bottom of the sea. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.A Floating Iceberg Puts Wildlife at Risk B.A Floating Iceberg Causes Weather Change C.A Floating Iceberg Pollutes the Surrounding Seas D.A Floating Iceberg Damages the Whole Ecosystem |
