Jane Goodall was born in Bournemouth, England, on April 3, 1934. As a child, she had a natural love for the outdoors and animals. When Jane was about eight she read the Tarzan and Dr. Dolittle series and, in love with Africa, dreamed of traveling to work with the animals. Finally, at age 23, she left for Nairobi, Kenya. There, Jane met famed Dr. Louis Seymour Bazett Leakey, who offered her a job at the local natural history museum. She worked there for a time before Leakey decided to send her to the Gombe Stream Game Reserve in Tanzania to stud) wild chimpanzees. He felt her strong interest in animals and nature, and her knowledge as well as high energy made her a great candidate to study the chimpanzees. In December 1958, Jane returned home to England and Leakey began to make arrangements for the expedition (考察), securing the appropriate permissions from the government and raising funds. In May 1960, Jane learned that Leakey had gained funding from the Wilkie Brothers Foundation. Jane arrived by boat at the Gombe Stream Game Reserve on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika with her mother. The early weeks at Gombe were challenging. Jane developed a fever that delayed the start of her work. Finally, an older chimpanzee named David Greybeard, began to allow Jane to watch him. As a high ranking male of the chimpanzee community, his acceptance meant other group members also allowed Jane to observe. It was David Greybeard whom Jane first witnessed using tools. Excited, she telegraphed Dr. Leakey about her observation. He wrote back, “Now we must redefine ‘tool,’ and ‘man,’ or accept chimpanzees as humans.” Jane continued to work in the field and, with Leakey’s help, began her doctoral program without an undergraduate degree in 1962. At Cambridge University, she found herself at odds with senior scientists over the methods she used — how she had named the chimpanzees rather than using the more common numbering system, and for suggesting that the chimps have emotions and personalities. She further upset those in power at the university when she wrote her first book, My Friends, the Wild Chimpanzees, aimed at the general public rather than an academic audience. The book was wildly popular, and her academic peers were outraged. Dr. Jane Goodall earned her Ph.D. on February 9, 1966, and continued to work at Gombe for the next twenty years. 【1】What can we infer from the passage? A.Jane was the first to discover chimpanzees use tools. B.The journey to Kenya rooted Jane’s deep love for animals. C.Dr. Leakey easily raised funds from the Wilkie Brothers Foundation. D.Jane’s work at the Gombe Stream Game Reserve went along smoothly. 【2】What is the academic peers’ attitude towards Jane’s first book? A.Extremely puzzled. B.Genuinely pleased. C.Really angry. D.Truly sensitive. 【3】What does the underlined sentence imply in paragraph 5? A.Jane’s study of chimpanzees received no support from scientists. B.Jane’s method inspired more scientists to make further discoveries. C.Jane’s achievements quickly attracted attention from senior scientists. D.Senior scientists disagreed with Jane’s method in observing chimpanzees. 【4】What message is mainly conveyed in the passage? A.Passion and hard work can make a difference in scientific research. B.Cooperation is the key to making significant discoveries. C.Challenging senior scientists is a must in gaining fame. D.High energy counts in achieving great success. |

It was a red-letter day in the history of medicine — “Target Zero Day”, May 8th, 1980, marking the complete removal of smallpox, a terrifying disease. It was untreatable but, luckily, it turned out that vaccination (接种疫苗) provided good protection — and that mass immunization (免疫) could wipe out the smallpox virus by blocking its spread. According to legend, vaccination was invented by Dr. Edward Jenner. Jenner showed that healthy children vaccinated with cowpox, a mild infection of cattle, could not catch smallpox. He was supposedly inspired by Comment from a local milkmaid, but there is evidence that the idea came from a medical friend, John Fewster, who had experimented with cowpox. Nevertheless, Jenner deserves credit for introducing vaccination into the medical mainstream with his paper published in 1798. In 1966,160 years after the prediction that vaccination would clean off the disease, the World Health Organization launched its Smallpox Eradication Programme. This heroic 11-year drive was directed by two American public health doctors, DA Henderson and Bill Foege. Their hardships were enormous. One WHO official even promised to eat a tyre if smallpox was removed; Henderson promised to send him the tyre and wished him good appetite. But Henderson and Foege’s hard work paid off—three years after the last smallpox case was informed (to make sure no outbreaks had been missed) Target Zero Day was declared. 40 years on, why should we remember Target Zero Day? First, to celebrate victory of preventative medicine and freedom from a cruel disease. Then, we must remember the victims of smallpox. It had previously killed one in 12 worldwide. In 1914, a Canadian professor warned against forgetting smallpox, which was fast disappearing from North America. It went on to kill at least another 250 million people — three times more than both world wars combined. Target Zero Day also reminds us of undefeated infections, including polio, measles, malaria, and of course the coronavirus Covid-19. Let’s recognize Target Zero Day for what it is: a milestone in world history and a monument to the art of the possible. 【1】What inspired Jenner to invent the vaccination? A.A medical friend. B.A local milkmaid. C.Cattle. D.Children. 【2】What is the writer’s purpose of mentioning the WHO official’s promise? A.To introduce the support from the WHO. B.To stress the importance of good appetite. C.To suggest the difficulty in removing smallpox. D.To show his determination to carry on the drive. 【3】What message does the text convey? A.A promise made is a debt unpaid. B.A trouble shared is a trouble halved. C.Something is better than nothing. D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. |

Conformity involves changing your behaviour to “fit in” or “go along” with the people around you. In some cases, this social influence might involve agreeing with or acting like the majority of people in a specific group, or involve behaving in a particular way to be viewed as “normal” by the group. Actually, conformity is something that happens regularly in our social world. Sometimes we’re aware of our behaviour, but in many cases it happens without much thought or awareness on our parts. And even in some cases we go along with things we disagree with or behave in ways we know we shouldn’t. There are countless examples of conformity in life. For instance, a teenager dresses in a certain style because he wants to fit in with the rest of the teenagers in his social group. A woman reads a book for her book club and really enjoys it. When she attends her book club meeting, the other members all dislike the book. Rather than go against the group opinion, she simply agrees with the others that the book is terrible. Why do we conform? In many cases, looking to the rest of the group for clues for how we should behave can actually be helpful. Others might have greater knowledge or experience than we do, so following their lead can actually be instructive. And in some cases, we conform to the expectations of the group to avoid looking foolish. This tendency can become especially strong in situations where we aren’t quite sure how to act. Additionally, there are some situations where we conform just in order to avoid punishments or gain rewards. There are many factors that influence conformity. For example, not knowing how to perform a difficult task makes people more likely to conform. Personal characteristics such as motivation to achieve and strong leadership abilities are linked with a decreased tendency to conform. And people are more likely to conform in situations that involve between three and five other people. 【1】What can we learn about conformity from the first paragraph? A. Actually it is rare for us to conform. B. Blind conformity should be criticized. C. Sometimes people tend to conform unconsciously. D. Conformity means changing your behaviour reluctantly. 【2】Which of the following is a case of conformity? A. Joining a certain organization. B. Following the ongoing fashion. C. Sharing something personal with others. D. Giving up your creative ideas cautiously. 【3】When are we most likely to conform according to the text? A. When we are at a loss. B. When we are rejected. C. When we feel threatened. D. When we feel uncomfortable. 【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Conformity cannot be avoided by anyone. B. Conformity is linked to the size of the group. C. Conformity is a natural response to challenges. D. Conformity isn’t related to individual differences. |

Your smart phone may have hurt you before you realize it. Don't be addicted to it.
