That
morning,I
dropped
our
eldest
at
kindergarten
and
returned
home
to
let
our
two
younger
children
play
while
I
worked
on
my
medical
report.It
was
wonderful,but
it
hit
me
that
my
career
in
hospital
wasn’t
making
a
difference
in
anyone’s
life.I
needed
something
that
would
stretch
my
limits
and
push
me
to
grow.My
career
enabled
me
to
work
from
home.I
could
work
from
home,and
become
a
foster(领养)
mother,providing
safety
for
a
child
who
needed
it
desperately.
On
Monday
morning,I
picked
up
the
phone
and
dialed
the
number
I
had
searched
for
the
nearest
Department
of
Children’s
Services.The
man
on
the
other
end
was
receptive
to
my
questions
and
explained
the
next
step
of
training,involving
eight
weeks
of
classes
designed
to
prepare
and
educate
foster
parents.We
continued
through
all
the
classes,the
home
visits,background
checks,and
seemingly
endless
steps.
Five
long
months
after
we
were
approved,the
phone
rang.In
the
middle
of
the
night,I
woke
my
husband
and
rushed
to
East
Tennessee
Children’s
Hospital.Our
placement
was
waiting
for
us
in
the
emergency
room,sick
and
lack
of
nutrition.It
didn’t
take
long
for
us
to
realize
the
full
depth
of
her
suffering.Six
months
later,her
half-brother
came
to
us
by
our
request.We
now
had
five
children
under
our
care.
On
August
12,2016,our
family
of
seven
walked
into
a
small
courtroom.The
children’s
lawyer
and
social
worker
were
there.With
just
a
few
words,our
adoption
was
finalized.These
two
amazing
children
weren’t
going
home,because
they
were
already
home.We
are
their
forever
family,and
they
are
our
forever
children.We
may
not
be
able
to
change
the
entire
world,but
we
have
changed
the
world
entirely
for
our
new
children.

George
Nakashima
always
insisted
that
he
was
a
simple
woodworker,not
an
artist.Even
though
major
museums
exhibited
his
works
and
the
director
of
the
American
Craft
Museum
called
him
a
national
treasure,Mr
Nakashima
rejected
the
label
of
artist.For
almost
fifty
years
he
simply
went
on
shaping
wood
into
beautiful
chairs,tables,and
cabinets.
Nakashima
had
a
clear
goal.He
intended
each
piece
of
furniture
he
made
to
be
as
perfect
as
possible.Even
making
a
box
was
an
act
of
creation,because
it
produced
an
object
that
had
never
existed
before.Initially
Nakashima
used
local
wood,sometimes
from
his
own
property.Later,he
traveled
to
seek
out
English
oak,Persian
walnut,African
zebra
wood
and
Indian
teak.He
especially
liked
to
find
giant
roots
that
had
been
dug
out
of
the
ground
after
a
tree
was
taken
down.Nakashima
felt
that
making
this
wood
into
furniture
was
a
way
of
allowing
the
tree
to
live
again.
Most
furniture
makers
prefer
perfect
boards,but
Nakashima
took
pleasure
in
using
wood
with
interesting
knots(节疤)
and
cracks.These
irregularities
gave
the
wood
personality
and
showed
that
the
tree
had
lived
a
happy
life.
He
never
failed
to
create
an
object
that
was
both
useful
and
beautiful.One
early
piece
Nakashima
designed
was
a
three-legged
chair
for
his
small
daughter,Mira,to
use
when
she
sat
at
the
table
for
meals.The
Mira
chair
became
so
popular
that
Nakashima
later
made
both
low
and
high
versions.Another
famous
piece,the
Conoid
chair,has
two
legs
supported
by
bladelike
feet.Always,Nakashima’s
designs
were
precise
and
graceful,marked
by
a
simplicity
that
revealed
his
love
for
the
wood.
As
the
years
passed,Nakashima’s
reputation
grew
and
his
work
received
many
awards.His
children
Mira
and
Kevin,now
adults,joined
the
team
of
crafts-people
in
their
father’s
studio.Nakashima’s
dream
of
integrating
work
and
family
had
come
true.
8.Which
of
the
following
best
describes
Nakashima?
A.Generous
and
outgoing.
B.Honest
and
simple.
C.Capable
and
friendly.
D.Creative
and
modest.
9.Why
was
Nakashima
called
a
national
treasure?
A.His
art
work
made
trees
live
again.
B.He
used
precious
wood
materials.
C.His
chairs
were
beautifully
designed.
D.He
was
devoted
to
making
furniture.
10.What
can
we
learn
about
Nakashima
from
the
last
two
paragraphs?
A.He
loved
his
work
and
family.
B.He
made
chairs
of
the
same
style.
C.He
sought
for
a
simple
life
and
art.
D.He
was
lost
in
researching
the
wood.
11.What
can
be
inferred
about
Mira
and
Kevin?
A.They
had
an
art
studio
of
their
own.
B.They
still
lacked
the
ability
to
create
art
works.
C.They
had
a
common
interest
with
their
father.
D.They
enjoyed
the
same
reputation
with
their
father.
D
They’re
orange,they’re
robots
and
they’re
capable
of
sailing
the
high
seas
without
human
intervention.
On
Tuesday
the
National
Oceanic
and
Atmospheric
Administration
(NOAA)
launched
a
pair
of
Saildrones(海洋无人机)
in
Pacific
Northwest
waters
for
the
first
time.Their
summer
long
sailing
journey
will
stretch
from
Vancouver
Island
to
California.The
Saildrone
operators
will
collect
data
to
help
set
future
fishing
seasons.The
government
wants
to
see
whether
seagoing
robots
can
extend
fishery
surveys
now
performed
by
expensive
manned
ships.
Nora
Cohen
from
NOAA
said,“The
23-foot
long
seagoing
robots
can
follow
a
remotely
programmed
course
for
up
to
a
year
at
a
time.And
they
don’t
require
any
fuel.We
use
wind
and
solar
power
to
drive
the
sensors.”
He
added,“It
means
that
we’re
able
to
go
to
places
where
we
don’t
really
want
to
send
people,and
go
into
weather
that
we
really
don’t
want
anyone
ever
to
be
in,and
be
able
to
send
measurements
back.”
The
primary
mission
is
to
investigate
the
species
and
the
number
of
fish
in
existence
and
the
places
where
they
are.Larry
Hufnagle,scientist
of
NOAA
Fisheries
in
Seattle,said
a
traditional
big
NOAA
research
ship-based
survey
costs
around
$25,000
per
day.By
comparison,one
Saildrone
costs
$2,500
per
day.
“It
could
be
a
significant
saving,”
Hufnagle
said.“But
like
anything
else,there
is
a
trade-off
in
what
you
get
and
what
you
don’t
get.On
the
manned
ship,we
have
limited
time.It
takes
a
lot
of
people.We
spend
a
fair
amount
of
money.But
there
is
one
thing
the
Saildrone
can’t
do
that
humans
can:cast
a
net
to
catch
and
positively
identify
the
fish
detected
below.The
Saildrones
are
going
to
give
us
additional
data,not
replacement
data.”
Nora
Cohen
said
Saildrone,a
venture
capital-backed
company
based
in
Alameda,California,expects
to
launch
a
total
of
11
of
its
seagoing
robots
to
survey
different
waterbodies
for
NOAA
this
year.The
Bering
and
Arctic
seas,Coastal
California
and
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
will
be
the
locations
of
additional
missions.
12.What
is
the
purpose
of
collecting
fish
data?
A.To
explore
the
ocean.
B.To
assist
fishing
industry.
C.To
learn
the
habits
of
fish.
D.To
improve
fishing
skills.
13.What
is
mainly
discussed
about
the
Saildrone
in
Paragraph
3?
A.Its
advantages.
B.Its
appearance.
C.Its
power
systems.
D.Its
primary
mission.
14.What
does
the
underlined
word
“trade-off”
in
Paragraph
5
probably
mean?
A.Debate.
B.Reason.
C.Reality.
D.Balance.
15.What
can
be
inferred
from
the
text?
A.The
Saildrone
has
a
promising
future.
B.Hufnagle
thinks
little
of
the
Saildrone.
C.Manned
ships
will
be
completely
replaced.
D.Production
of
seagoing
robots
is
restricted.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
When
we
meet
the
homeless,most
of
us
might
avoid
eye
contact
and
walk
a
little
faster. 1
What’s
his
or
her
story?How
long
have
they
lived
on
the
streets?Maybe
you
even
wanted
to
help,but
didn’t
know
how
to
start
a
conversation.Then
the
following
might
help
you.?
2 IsthereanotherwayIcanhelp??
This
is
an
especially
good
thing
to
say
if
you’re
uncomfortable
handing
over
cash
or
don’t
have
any
to
offer.Undoubtedly,money
is
something
that
a
homeless
person
needs,but
often
there
is
a
specific
thing
that
can
quickly
help
that
person
out
of
a
terrible
situation.

Talking
about
sports
is
a
good
idea.While
there
is
a
game,bring
it
up
like
talking
about
the
weather—sports
is
a
topic
of
conversation
that
you
don’t
have
to
be
of
a
certain
class
to
experience.?
Goodmorning.
Say
“hi”
or
“hello”
or
try
to
acknowledge
the
person
in
some
way. 4
Regardless
of
what
your
greeting
may
be,it’s
important
to
look
the
person
in
the
eye
when
speaking.According
to
the
homeless,one
of
the
many
difficult
things
about
being
homeless
is
that
you
feel
less
than
human.?
Howareyoudoing?Wouldyouliketotalk?
These
questions
are
great
because
they’re
open-ended.Don’t
be
surprised
if
people
are
not
interested
in
chatting,though.You’re
getting
into
their
personal
lives. 5
If,however,the
person
is
open
to
talking,this
can
lead
to
a
real
conversation—and
maybe
even
provide
a
way
for
you
to
offer
help.?
A.I
don’t
have
any
money.
B.It’s
good
to
hear
kindness.
C.But
you
might
also
think
about
the
situation.
D.Maybe
they
don’t
want
to
discuss
that
with
a
stranger.
E.Athletic
events
are
often
shown
on
televisions
on
the
street.
F.The
non-homeless
person
almost
never
looks
the
homeless
in
the
eye.
G.Offering
a
wish
of
good
will
can
be
a
powerful
thing
to
the
homeless.
