A hospital has been forced to ban Pokemon Go players from the site after a monster hub(妖怪枢纽站) was found in the A&E department. Royal Stoke University Hospital discovered that its casualty unit(急诊室) is on the same spot as a Pokemon Go ‘gym’ —— where players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures. The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards because walking around is healthy. But the Trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E. It said if Pokemon Go becomes a major annoyance it would ask Nintendo—— which decides on the locations of the virtual gyms according to GPS——to have it removed from the premises(道馆). Kevin Parker, associate chief nurse, said, “Members of the public who do not need to be at Royal Stoke should not attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game. The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer. We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital. I’m also aware of various reports in the media of unsafe areas that the game has been played in.” “Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go.” Michelle Harris, the Trust’s manager, said the game could still be played by those already in hospital. “We recognize that the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise, which is something that the Trust is equally keen to promote,” she said. There are a number of “walking routes” established throughout the Trust that can be used to combine walking and playing the game. “Walking just 30 minutes, five times a week, can help reduce the risk of preventable illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.” There have been several warnings about the game since its UK release. Last week a group of teenagers in Wiltshire were left stranded almost 100ft underground after they got carried away searching for Pokemon Go characters. The four boys, aged 16 and 17, ended up getting lost and had to wait to get a phone signal before they could call for help. Eventually, they contacted Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue team, who took them to safety. Damien Bence, of the fire and rescue team, said: “Pokemon Go is obviously leading people into dangerous situations.” 【1】It seems that Pokemon Go is a game______. A.designed to help patients in hospital recover sooner B.helping cure such diseases as obesity, diabetes and heart disease C.encouraging players to walk and exercise instead of staying indoors D.warning teenagers of the places easy to get lost or attacked 【2】The A&E department is incredibly busy because________. A.more patients’ arrival increases the workload of the A&E department B.doctors’ playing the game makes the A&E department less efficient C.players’ injury increases the workload of the A&E department D.players’ arrival disturbs the work of the A&E department 【3】The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means_______. A.hurt B.disturbed C.trapped D.threatened 【4】The passage is mainly about________. A.the negative effects of Pokemon Go since its UK release B.the applications of Pokemon Go in hospitals since its UK release C.the popularity of Pokemon Go since its UK release D.the establishment of Pokemon Go virtual gyms since its UK release |

About a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?” My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.” Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook. The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.” As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above. 【1】Why did Lori make the call? A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem. B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook. C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook. D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook. 【2】What impressed “I” by Lori? A. Lori was good at running recruiting. B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs. C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience. D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay. 【3】What can we infer from the passage? A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder. B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views. C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees. D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms. 【4】What is the best title of the passage? A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder. B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem. C. Applying for a Job in Facebook. D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder. |

We love the sea. We swim into it, live near it, build beside it, and even imagine about living under the sea. But we’re terrified of it, too. For much of our history, we have turned to “hard engineering” to control the marine (海洋) environment and manage its influence on us. We build dams, sea walls and channels. But all these efforts seem to fail. The sea has a habit of taking back its own. And we suffer. Johnston, a marine ecologist, is advocating for “blue engineering” — the marine version of the “green engineering” movement on land that has seen nations like Singapore building the walls and roofs of the concrete jungle with plant life. We are expanding further into the marine environment. This practice docs harm lo marine ecosystems. We’re loving the sea to death, but we’ve not been thinking about design of structures (建筑物) with respect to ecology. Some coastal structures create shade, which reduces the growth of seaweed. Bright lights at night contuse species such as turtles. That’s why blue engineering comes in. Throughout the world people are starting to turn things around. Researchers with the World Harbour Project are creating tiles (瓦片) similar to the natural structures found on rocky shores with 3D printing technology. These make more attractive homes for marine creatures. Researchers are also actively seeding these tiles with local seaweeds and creatures such as the Sydney rock oyster, which is particularly good at improving water quality. Twelve harbours around the world are taking part in this marine tile experiment, each working with their own unique marine life. It’s a far cry from, he days when huge number, of old tyres were thrown, into the sea to build “artificial reef” (礁石). Those clumsy early attempts are now costing millions to remove, showing just how far we have yet to go in understanding how best to co-habit with the underwater world. 【1】What do we know about “hard engineering”? A. It has improved sea environment. B. It can control the influence of sea. C. It has failed to achieve its purpose. D. It makes living under sea impossible. 【2】Para.3 is mainly about the to introduce the project of “blue engineering”. A. drawbacks B. reasons C. procedures D. measures 【3】Which of the following is a form of “blue engineering”? A. Constructing buildings with plant life. B. Expanding into marine environments. C. Creating an artificial reef with old tyres. D. Building structures benefiting sea creatures. 【4】What is the writer’s feeling towards the present situation of marine environment? A. Relieved B. Doubtful C. Satisfied D. Disappointed |
