I wish I’d been more confident in my own abilities, especially when I was at school.
I was a shy child and struggled a bit when talking to other people. On the whole, my parents were very supportive, always encouraging me and trying to help me relax in social situations, but I was always terribly self-conscious. I wish I hadn’t been so worried about what everybody thought of me. I know now that if you are extremely shy , then it’s hard work to have a conversation with you. Now I try to think about the other person I’m talking to and put them at ease in my company .However, at school, I found it especially difficult in my peer group(同龄群体）. I wasn’t competitive, but I was aware of my appearance and I always compared myself to other people, usually coming to the conclusion that I wasn’t as clever or as popular or as cool as they were. I wanted to be popular. I know now that the kids who are considered the coolest at school aren’t necessarily the most popular or successful when they grow up.
I realize now that everything changes during your teen years--physically, mentally, socially and emotionally--and I just had a harder time than most. I wish I hadn’t let it stop me from doing things, though. I wish I’d taken a gap year or at least traveled more when I left school. But to tell the truth, I didn’t have the courage to go off alone before going to college. I could have gone to Europe and America with a friend as I’d saved up enough money, but in the end I just didn’t want to do it. My parents really wanted me to try a gap year. They said it would be a great experience before college. I think they were right, and now I won’t have another opportunity to do that for a long time.

What do you think about when you wait at a crosswalk What about checking out your friends’ new posts Chances are, if you’re not visually impaired, you don’t think much about these everyday activities as you’re doing them. But for blind and low-vision(视力低下的）people, these kinds of things can be difficult if the people designing them don’t take steps to make them accessible.
One big problem blind people always face is the assumptions of sighted people about what they can and can’t do. Everette Bacon, President of the Utah chapter of the National Federation of the Blind, says more than once he’s had a stranger grab his arm, thinking he needs help.
“ It’s impressions about blindness that are far more threatening to blind people than the blindness itself,” says Daniel Kish, president of World Access for the Blind.
People’s assumptions about capability(能力）contribute to a low number of blind people working in or studying STEM( science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. People with low or no vision have a lot to offer in these fields. They are just as capable as anyone else at experimenting and making new discoveries.
One tool that provides accessible ways to help the blind interact (互动）with data and scientific equipment is the Sci-Voice Talking LabQuest 2. It reads aloud data from over 70 sensors(传感器）commonly used in science experiments. Cary Supalo invented this device to help students experience hands-on science learning. He has been blind since the age of seven. “ For kids who are blind or vision impaired, before this technology existed, they had to be told what happened,”he says.
Making the world more accessible isn’t limited to inventing a cool new piece of technology, though. If you’re posting a picture on social media, adding a specific description of what’s happening in the picture, called alt text, can help blind people understand your post without having to rely on sight. If you’re building a website, or know someone who is, follow accessibility guidelines.
What does Bacon think of the stranger’s help
It should be given more politely.
It showed people’s good hearts.
It was unnecessary.
It set a good example.
What makes a low number of blind people get involved in STEM
People’s prejudice
B. Their limited intelligence
C.A lack of blind-friendly labs
D. Their sensitive characteristics
10. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph
A. Follow government guidelines.
B. Describe pictures in the alt text.
C. Add a voice document
D. Use a special website
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. more light, more happiness B. your legal disability rights
C .what you assume matters D. a world of accessibility
D
For those who don’t decide their own working hours, a trial of four-day workweeks of 35-hour work weekly without a drop in pay among 2500 workers in Iceland has shown the old schedule may truly not be the most productive form of labor(劳动）. The report, conducted by the research organization Autonomy and the Association for Sustainability and Democracy, found that negative markers like burnout (过度劳累）, stress, necessary overtime, and disconnection with friends and family all went down, as would be expected, but that productivity remained at worst unchanged, and often improved in those working shorter hours.
The trials were such a success that following their conclusion in 2019,Mass renegotiation(重新协商）by labor unions means that 86% of Icelanders are now working non-traditional workweeks which could include 5-to-6-hour working days or four-day working weeks.
“ This study shows that the world’s largest-ever trial of a shorter working week was a success,” said Will Stronge, director of Autonomy.
The main argument is that “burnout” depletes the ability of workers to be productive. A lack of production will sometimes result in a demand for overtime, especially by managers, further increasing burnout and decreasing productivity. In those who cannot afford to be less productive, like nurses for example, burnout simply results in negative health outcomes.
Hoping to see if they could replicate(复制）the productivity gains in other countries, the Reykjavid City Council started this trial, mostly at public offices, but also in private firms, to measure performance and worker well-being for four years.
Compared with non-participating firms or offices, productivity remained the same or increased in those participating, but it wasn’t free. Instead, as necessity is the mother of invention, a sort of mass re-imagining of operations was needed to achieve production or service goals with the reduced hours. This involved,as the report details, the shortening or early ending of meetings, and often a total reorganization of work processes to find where problems could be removed.
What does Autonomy’s report show
Four-day workweeks are most productive.
Reducing regular work hours has many benefits.
Stress has no connection with working hours.
Workers should be flexible about their working hours.
13.How did labor unions in Iceland most probably react knowing the results of the trial
They felt sad for most Icelanders.
They became worried about workers’ productivity.
They knew it was time for a change.
They decided to encourage hard work.
14.What does the underlined word “depletes” in paragraph 4 mean
reduces B. shows C. loses D.approves
15.Why does the author say “it wasn’t free” in the last paragraph
it’s not really worth trying for many companies.
It is necessary to make some changes to ensure productivity.
It costs a lot to re-imagine operations.
It is very difficult for most companies to change their routine.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, nearly $5 billion has been lost to online shopping scams(诈骗）in the first nine months of 2021.
“ 1 6 Often, these offers will more likely than not download some unwanted software onto your device rather than give you a good deal,” says Daniel Markuson, a digital privacy specialist. Here are some tips on how to avoid being scammed while shopping online.
Stick to “ https” websites. As a means of security, it’s important to visit and shop on sites that use “https”. The “s” stands for “secure”. While “https” isn’t everything when it comes to security, it definitely provides a level of protection. 1 7 You simply look at the URL bar( 网址栏 ) to see if it begins with “https://” the way it does on our website.
Check that the URL is right. It sounds simplistic. 1 8 Making sure you’re on the right online store could be the difference between entering your card details on “ ” and “ ”. This small difference in URLs leaves a huge opportunity for scammers to land you on a malicious(恶意的） website.
1 9 It’s generally best to avoid shopping online using public Wi-Fi networks because public Wi-Fi typically exhibits poor security and is often scanned by hackers(黑客）.
Additionally, it’s always wise to practice good password security. Generally, websites shouldn’t ask for your personal ID number or your password to another site to sell you something. 2 0
Not all shortened URLs are bad.
Avoid shopping on public Wi-Fi.
Public computers are another insecure way to shop.
Checking whether or not a site uses “https” is easy to do.
If they do this , you are probably at risk of being scammed.
Don’t be too quick to jump at seemingly-too-good-to-be true offers.
However, it’s important to do this before entering personal information.

After arriving at the village, we’ll first have a taste of some delicious local dishes. After lunch, we’ll learn to make some local snacks and watch some folk performances. Then we’ll visit a few typical buildings. I believe it’ll be a great chance for you to explore Chinese folk culture.
I am looking forward to your reply.
