As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins(企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career(职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. "I just decided I wanted to go," she says. "I had no idea about what I'd find there and I wasn't nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way."
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she'd never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. "From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has," Ginni says. "I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater."
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.

I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province, on the historic Tea Horse Road. I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away. I couldn't imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Sichuan to India trading route), the Southern Silk Road, the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang.
I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds.
Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains. As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.
Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other's cultures.
1.How did the writer first respond to Paul's travel plan
A.Scared. B.Puzzled. C.Disappointed. D.Surprised.
2.What can we learn about Paul Salopek from Paragraph 2
A.He was a Western journalist. B.He had a knowledge of China.
C.He came to China several times. D.He was Joseph Rock's acquaintance.
3.What does Paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul
A.They honored the ancestors. B.They set off in high spirits.
C.They satisfied the locals' curiosity. D.They built bonds with people.
4.What is the main purpose of the writer's writing the text
A.To share and reflect on a journey. B.To suggest a new way of travel.
C.To advocate the protection of biodiversity. D.To introduce and promote Chinese culture.

The future doesn't have to feel depressing, and the next generation may be the best suited to remind us. Around the world, kids are seeing the future as an opportunity to apply their creativity. One of those kids is Gitanjali Rao, who lives in Lone Tree, Colorado and won TIME magazine's first-ever Kid of the Year award.
"The really exciting thing is that our generation is growing up in a place where we're seeing problems that have never existed before," said Rao. "It's up to us to take control of that opportunity and realize that innovation is a necessity, not an option."
TIME has been naming a Person of the Year since 1927. In 2019, Greta Thunberg (then 16 years old) became the youngest person ever to receive the award. In 2020, TIME created the Kid of the Year award and chose 15-year-old Rao and four honorees out of 5,000 people under 18 for making a positive impact.
And Rao certainly is.
● She created a handheld lead detection system inspired by the Flint water crisis.
● She invented a device to measure opioids in your blood (to prevent addiction if you're taking prescription opioid medication).
● She developed an anti-bullying app called Kindly.
● She's leading workshops all over the world to help kids become innovators and wrote a book about the process.
Her interests are so varied, and she's able to turn a problem into something that inspires her to take action, and then she just starts by reading a lot. "I read about resources on the Internet, learn more about the subject and see what connects back to the work I'm doing," she explained.
There is definitely support behind her. "They allowed me to explore beyond what I thought was the normal," she said, speaking of her parents. "I'm really fortunate to have parents who let me go after my passions instead of forcing me into something else."
That passion, mixed with a solid dose of optimism, is what she thinks we need to handle the future. She says that it's about taking lots and lots of small steps — towards something you're passionate about, and that's what she wants to encourage everyone to do. "Find something and go for it, because YOU can make a difference in this world," Rao said.
1.What is the necessary quality for the young generation according to Rao
A.Creativity. B.Optimism. C.Enthusiasm. D.Reliability.
2.What will Rao do when she becomes interested in a certain issue
A.Turn to her parents for help. B.Look for similar problems online.
C.Seek support for her idea. D.Search for relevant information.
3.What can best describe Rao based on the passage

C.A Girl Winning Kid of the Year Award.
D.Qualities Needed to Become an Inventor.

In Oxford in the 1950s, there was a fantastic doctor, Alice Stewart, who was very unusual. She was unusual because she was a, woman doctor, which was pretty rare in the 1950s. She was unusual too because she was the first one to find that many children who died of cancer had had mothers who had been X-rayed when pregnant. "That finding flew in the face of conventional wisdom, which was huge enthusiasm for the cool new technology of that age, the X-ray machine.
Alice Stewart rushed to publish her preliminary findings in The Lancet in 1956. People got very excited, and there was talk of the Nobel Prize. However, it was fully 25 years before the British and American medical establishments abandoned the practice of X-raying pregnant women. The data was out there. It was open, and it was freely available, but nobody wanted to know. A child a week was dying, bat nothing changed. Openness alone can't drive change.
For 25 years Alice Stewart had a very big fight on her hands. The fact is that most of the biggest catastrophes that were witnessed rarely come from information that is secret or hidden. They come from information that is freely available and out there, but that we are willfully blind to, because we can't handle, or don't want to handle the conflict that it creates. But when we dare to break that silence, or when we dare to see, we enable ourselves and the people around us to do our very best thinking.
Open information is fantastic, and open networks are essential. But the truth won't set us free until we develop the skills and the habit and the talent and the moral courage to use it. Openness isn't the end. It's the beginning.
1. What does the underlined part "flew in the face of" in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Consist with. B. Went against. C. Resulted from. D. Referred to.
2. What can we infer about Alice's findings
A. They led to her wining the Nobel Prize. B. They met strong objections.
C. They got recognition after publishment. D. They quickly affected medical practice.
3. Why do people ignore open information
A. To avoid possible conflict. B. To hide their ignorance.
C. To prove their ability. D. To prevent it from spreading further.
4. What's more important in making changes according to the author
A. Open information. B. Available networks.
C. Fantastic creativity. D. Great courage.

Back from the beach I found an envelope on the doorstep. It was the fifth envelope with my latest photographs. This time I decided to check with the hotel reception.
At the reception desk, a middle aged man introduced himself, "Hello, Ms. Drew. I am Benson...residing at Room No.14...I put the envelopes..."
"What the hell How can you click my snaps..."I was interrupted by him signaling to walk with him. We silently arrived at Room No.14.A fair, curly haired, ten year old girl opened the door.
"This is my daughter Agnes...She snapped your photographs."
She smiled bitterly at me and told me I reminded her of her lost mom.
I replied, "It's all right honey, if that can make you happy..."
Day-to-day evening walks made the bond warmer and stronger. Agnes saw her mother in me and I reverted (回复)the feelings abundantly. After a week I left as my work in the city had got over. A tearful Agnes bid me goodbye promising to keep in touch.
Each season Agnes greeted me with long mails about 'her school', 'her vacation with dad', 'her new year', and much more. The maternal(母亲般的)bond sustained for three years until all my letters were suddenly unanswered. I wondered what could be the reason.
One day my husband came with a plan for the weekend. Then unconsciously we drove down to the beach road heading to the hotel where I met Agnes. A group of girls walked to the seaside accompanied by two elderly ladies who looked like their caretakers. A little girl who sat all alone caught my attention. She looked familiar but thin, dark and her face was full of scars (伤疤).
"Agnes...how come What happened to you "
Her tearful blue eyes looked sunken with grief. One of the caretakers told me that a car accident had killed her dad and this was the first time she responded to any other individual.
Agnes lay on my chest deep asleep as I inquired about 'orphan(孤儿)adoption formalities'. The little angel hugged tightly on my shoulders. The sun finally fully emerged out of the vast water expanse to shine brightly over us...

When I was about six years old, I overheard my mother's friend describe me as a "dark horse." She'd come over to our house with her daughter and, as she watched us play, she must have found my quietness uncomfortable. Rather than accept this as part of my personality, she regarded it as a negative.
A "dark horse" is someone "of whom nothing is generally known," according to the Oxford English Dictionary. So to describe a shy child in this way feels rather unfair. It felt as if that woman was suggesting I'd never be fully accepted or understood, because of my shyness.
There were many occasions through early adulthood—when people made incorrect assumptions about me. In my20 s, I moved to live with my sister. We had three flat mates. One evening, I was out and they told my sister that they felt intimidated by me. I'd spent most of my time with them listening, observing and not sharing much about myself. Rather amusingly, they had interpreted this as an inner confidence. Actually, I was just shy.
Today, in an age of understanding various differences, shyness is still hugely misunderstood.
Children are told to cheer themselves up; "don't be shy," grown-ups say. But why not And why, indeed, can't an adult be shy Well, it's because society favours outgoing behaviours and extroversion(外向). When someone speaks less,we assume there is something wrong with them. We don't create space for people to think before they speak, and we don't allow people to observe before joining in, while everyone is expected to participate immediately, with no time to warm up.
The more I talk to shy people, the more confident I become that shyness can be a rather beautiful g full personality feature. So my mother's friend was wrong, shyness doesn't turn you into a dark horse. It might make you quieter, but push beyond the shy outside and you'll see the beauty that lies beneath.
1. What is the cause for the author's being described as a "dark horse" at six
A. Her special physical fitness. B. Jokes of the friend of Mom.
C. Her inborn quiet personality. D. Praise from friends and relatives.
2. What does the underlined word "intimidated" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Scared. B. Cheated. C. Attacked. D. Betrayed.
3. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Influences posed by being shy. B. Practical need of being shy.
C. Causes for being unable to be shy D. Ways of avoiding being shy.
4. What is the purpose of this text
A. To discuss about ways to be more sociable.
B. To tell a story about being misunderstood.
C. To introduce hardships of quiet persons.
D. To argue for the excellence of being shy.

Many have had the same thought as Shannon St. Onge when looking at the approach of snow on a weather forecast—that they have time to finish their jobs. As the director of finance at the First Nations University of Canada, she had to drive 25 kilometers from her home to the city of Regina to attend an important meeting.
As she was leaving, the winter snow began to fall. Taking a dirt road for better traction(牵引)on her tires, she quickly became lost, with no ability to see the edge of the road from a rolled-down window. After a while she stopped and called 911.
"The operator took my information and told me to wait out the storm as my tank was full and I was warm. I waited almost 14 hours and nobody has called me yet to check in," she wrote in a Face-book post.
"Would the gas tank last until morning What if I was hit by another vehicle What if I didn't make it home at all " St. Onge wondered.
Determined to ensure the safest end, she went out in the storm and discovered her location on a road sign, and then found a neighborhood Facebook group for the area she was passing through—warning others of her plight through a Google Maps pin.
That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr., a retired rescuer, got a call about St. Onge's situation. He went out to find her, on foot, since he couldn't manage to start his tractor.
On the way he found three other stranded(被困) vehicles. He walked the quarter mile there and back, and led the helpless cars one by one to his home. Bouvier let the survivors sleep at his house, where they ate and laughed, and departed the next morning after he had cleaned the driveway.

When Thomas Panek lost his eyesight more than 25 years ago, the avid runner doubted he would ever pursue his lifelong passion again.
Indeed, although Panek had been crazy about running since high school, the idea of running blind seemed altogether too challenging. But he did manage to keep his dream alive—with help from human guides who assisted him on each run.
Even so, the real joy of the run—the thrill of independence that comes from conquering a course on your own terms—eluded(躲避) him. "When you're tied to another person, it's no longer your own race," the 48-year-old said. "The independence isn't quite there."
Then Panek found a friend—indeed, man's best friend—who would help him achieve that sense of purpose. He started running with a guide dog named Gus. Not only did Panek rediscover his love for running, but, along the way, he founded Guiding Eyes for the Blind, an organization dedicated to providing service dogs for the visually disabled.
On March 16, Gus glided across the finish line with his human at the New York City Half Marathon. At that moment, they both breezed into the history books. Panek, who finished the course in a little more than two hours and 20 minutes, became the first blind runner to complete the race led by dogs.
Brandishing their respective medals, Panek and Gus—who would retire after the race—shared a breathless embrace. "It's a little emotional for me because he's been there with me the whole time," Panek said.
But Panek was quick to point out that it wasn't just Gus who provided the wind beneath his running shoes. In all, three guide dogs helped him see his way to the finish line. Siblings Westley and Waffle picked up the early legs of the course, each running between five and eight kilometers of the 21-kilometer race.
With retirement looming, it would be the faithful yellow lab's last race. But for Panek, the road ahead remains long and bright—not only for him, but for anyone with a disability who still hopes to run down a dream.
1.When did Thomas become blind
A.When he was about 23. B.When he was 25 years old.
C.When he was in high school. D.When he was 48 years old.
2.Why did Panek get himself the guide dog Gus
A.Because he didn't want to have another person with him.
B.Because he wanted to found Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
C.Because he wanted to help those with visual disability.
D.Because he wanted to enjoy the delight of running independently.
3.What do we learn about the dog Gus from the passage
A.It was the first dog to lead a blind runner at the Half Marathon.
B.It ran the whole course of the New York City Half Marathon.
C.It ran about eight kilometers with Thomas Panek at the race.
D.It wouldn't be working as a guide dog to Thomas Panek any more.
4.Which of the following best shows Thomas's qualities as a runner
A.Independent and caring. B.Passionate and persistent.
C.Crazy and emotional. D.Kind and helpful.
