Growing up，Danielle Belleny was always outdoors，picking up insects and investigating the animal world on her own.She hadn't yet heard of wildlife biology，but that's what she was learning about.She wanted to be a vet，a person who can treat sick or injured animals，at first.She said， "I always knew I wanted to work with animals，and as a kid，that was the only job I knew where I could do that." But when Belleny was in college，her dad advised her to learn wildlife biology instead of veterinary medicine.
Later，Belleny started working on research projects.One project involved placing trackers on a bird called the northern bobwhite.For another，she spent time herding goats，as a way to protect a grass habitat for endangered box turtles without hurting them.
Belleny's working at Plateau Land & Wildlife Management. "In the mornings，I'm usually out the door before sunrise，" she says.She surveys birds，keeping track of different species.And she searches for signs of what other animals in the area are doing.Around lunchtime，she'll return home and write up a report.In the afternoon，she leaves for another site visit.Land owners can request her services.She advises people on how to protect the wildlife that lives on their farm.Her work takes her all around Texas.
Outside of work，young Belleny has been bird-watching for seven years.Her first book This Is a Book for People Who Love Birds was published in May，2022.Now she's working on a children's book about birding，which is scheduled to come out in fall 2023.Belleny has some advice for young people thinking about careers.

Since the 1920s，the sci-fi（科幻小说）writers have promised us that a self-driving car can go fast and take us to work while we read the news.But this vision has proved to be more challenging to perform in practice than in theory.
The so-called advanced driver assistance system has been equipped in some electric cars.But it is not what would be considered self-driving.The present automatic pilot tool can help you stay in your lane on the highway.However，according to a driving standards organization，it's just graded to be Level 2 on the five-stage system of automation.Level 5 would be a full self-driving experience with hands off the steering wheel（方向盘）.We aren't there yet.
But that's in the United States.Look farther and the future is closer. "If you look at China，the big cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen are testing self-driving cars in passengers transportation，" says George Simpson，director of the Center for Automotive Research in Duisburg，Germany.The self-driving taxis，which are run by Chinese auto and tech giants，are part of a countrywide plan to increase the sales of Level 4 vehicles to about 20 percent by 2030.They allow drivers to switch off mentally while still requiring them to keep their hands on or near the wheel.
What works in China might not work elsewhere，because of differing attitudes towards how data should be used，admits Simpson.Chinese citizens might accept that the journeys of their vehicles are tracked and analyzed to improve traffic flows.But Americans are concerned about their privacy，so they are unwilling to agree with that tracking.
Privacy concerns may delay the promise in the sci-fi that frees you from driving on your way home or to work.Self driving cars must constantly generate data from their sensors and software to make driving decisions，or they would crash.
28. What can we infer about advanced driver assistance system？ ______
A. It allows drivers' hands off the wheel.
B. It is considered to be full self-driving.
C. It has been available in some electric cars.
D. It is graded Level 5 on the automation system.
29. What is the present situation of self-driving in China？ ______
A. It is going through test in some big cities.
B. Passengers transportation relies on self-driving.
C. It is less developed than that in the United States.
D. The sales of self-driving cars have increased to 20%.
30. What does the author want to show by comparing Chinese with Americans？ ______
A. The importance of data. B. Different attitudes on data use.
C. The good attitudes of Americans. D. The privacy concerns of Chinese.
31. In what column of a newspaper may this passage be found？ ______
A. Health. B. Advertisement. C. Education. D. Technology.
D
In sport the sexes（性别） are separate.Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.Women are less strong than men. Women are called the weaker sex，or，if men want to please them，the fair sex.But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities.There are women who are famous Prime Ministers，scientists and writers.And women live longer than men.A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74，a man only until he is 68.Are women's bodies really weaker？
The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes.The best women need 4.5 minutes.Women's time are always slower than men's，but some facts are a surprise.Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls.One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16.The first ‘Tartan' in film was an Olympic swimmer，Johnny Weissmuller.His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds，which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later!This does not mean that women are catching men up.Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious.It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone（荷尔蒙） injections（注射）.At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not.It seems sad that sport has such problems.Life can be very complicated（复杂的） when there are two separate sexes!
32. Women are called the weaker sex because ______ .
A. women do as much as men
B. sport is easier for men than for women
C. people think women are weaker than men
D. in sport the two sexes are always together
33. "That at least is what people say" means people ______ .
A. say other things，too B. say this but may not think so
C. don't say this much D. only think this

B. Some women athletes are actually men.
C. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.
D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.

"Is it a reading contest？" I was so excited that I forgot to raise my hand first.
"Good question，John!" said Ms.Chow. "It is not a race and you are not going to beat each other.We are not going to see who can read the fastest or the most books，but you are going to form a team of three and then set a reading goal for your team.If your team meet your goal by the end of this month，you will get a prize!"
Even though the prize was something silly，that still sounded pretty good to me.I turned towards William immediately，saying，"Shall we be teammates？"
"Yes，for sure!" he said.William and I liked a lot of the same books，so we could set a goal together.

"Yeah，of course!" William and I nodded.I had my team!The three of us settled down and started a discussion immediately，trying to figure out what we needed to do to get the prize.Just then，I saw my best friend Tom running towards my desk.I could clearly see the expectation shining in his eyes.

Good morning，everyone，
It is my honor to deliver a speech here.With the epidemic under control，we have returned to school. As we all know，the epidemic of the novel coronavirus has had a great impact on our study and life.Due to the epidemic，we have to take online classes at home.Fortunately，our school offers different courses for us every day and specially arranges some interesting activities for us，so we don't feel bored at all.
