Rollins College’s graduate, Elizabeth Bonker gave a powerful speech at the school’s graduation ceremony using text-to-speech technology. “You have a voice. Use it,” she advised graduates. It seems funny that a non-speaking autistic (孤独症患者) encourages you to use your voice. However, her moving speech touched not only her fellow classmates but also the worldwide audience with a powerful message of hope.
Throughout her academic career, Elizabeth has studied hard to reach her goals at school and in life. She wrote a book, I Am in Here, which highlights the abilities of people like her with non-speaking autism. She also founded a non-profit organization called Communication 4 All.
Elizabeth has a form of autism that resulted in her losing the ability to speak when she was 15 months old. After she lost her speech her family helped her learn to communicate by typing. She has become a supporter of assistive communication and typing instruction for those with non-speaking autism.
“I have typed this speech with one finger with a communication partner holding a keyboard,” shared Elizabeth. She gave her persuasive speech through text-to-speech technology.
Elizabeth majored in social service with the purpose of helping the 31 million people in the world who have non-speaking autism. She strongly believes that service to others gives meaning to each individual and to those they serve.
Throughout her life, Elizabeth has sought a platform where others would hear and accept her. She ignored negative comments and the low expectations others had for her life. Instead, she walked down her own path and set out to realize her dreams using intellect, talent and determination. She encouraged her fellow classmates to use their education and the power of their own minds to help make their dream a reality.

Protected areas have mixed success in protecting wildlife, according to the largest study on the effects of reserves(保护区).
A team led by researchers from the U. K. examined water bird data from 1, 506 protected areas and analyzed more than 27, 000 bird populations across the world. The authors write that their study, published in Nature, is the first robust(强有力的), global assessment of protected area influence on bird populations. The scientists found that protected areas with management of water birds and their habitats were more likely to benefit those populations.
“Our study shows that, while many protected areas are working well, many others are failing to have positive effect, ” lead author Hannah Wauchope of the University of Exeter says in a statement. Rather than focusing only on the total global area protected, we need more focus on ensuring areas are well-managed to benefit biodiversity(生物多样性) . “The study compared water bird populations before and after the establishment of protected areas and also compared trends of similar populations within and outside of protected areas. Water birds respond quickly to changes in site quality, making them a good group to look at when studying the impact of protected areas.
“In the majority of places we looked at, wildlife populations were still stable or were increasing, but they weren’t doing any better than in unprotected areas, ” Wauchope says. “That’s disappointing, but not surprising. There seems to be this disconnect between people talking about how much land is protected and whether those areas are actually doing anything positive. ”
This research comes ahead of a United Nations meeting in China to discuss biodiversity goals for the next decade. Several countries have already devoted to protecting 30 percent of the planet by 2030, yet researchers say protection alone does not necessarily ensure positive outcomes for species.
“Efforts to reach a certain area-based goal such as 30 percent by 2030--without a focus on improving the condition of existing protected areas will achieve little, ” says co-author Julia Jones from Bangor University. “When world leaders gather in China later this year to set goals for the next decade, I really hope to see a focus on effectiveness of protected areas, rather than simply how much surface area is devoted to them.”
“We are not saying protected areas don’t work,” Wauchope concludes in the statement. “The key point is that their effects vary hugely, and the biggest thing this depends on is whether they are managed with species in mind-we can’t just expect protected areas to work without effective management. ”
28. What is the purpose of the UK’s study
A. To see whether bird populations have increased in protected areas.
B. To test whether water birds can adapt to new environments.
C. To record the changes of water birds worldwide.
D. To help water birds survive in hard conditions.
29. Why are water birds chosen as the study subject
A. They are an endangered species
B. They can sense environmental changes.
C. They can help change the quality of waters.
D. They can hardly be found outside protected areas.
30. What fact makes Wauchope feel disappointed
A. Protected areas are not attractive to water birds.
B. There is a decline in the number of protected areas.
C. There is not enough protected land around the world.
D. Protected areas fail to work better than unprotected areas.
31. What is Hannah Wauchope’s advice about protected areas
A. They should occupy a large area.
B. They should host various animals.
C. They should be under good management.
D. They should give water birds more freedom.
D
Kindness is seen as a true strength, and the success of civilizations relies on kindness. As parents and teachers, we also teach children from a young age to “be kind to one another” and “treat others the way you want to be treated.”
In addition to being helpful to our interpersonal relationships, research has shown that kindness can even contribute to our well-being. According to the Mayo Clinic, when we perform acts of kindness, the pleasure center in our brain is activated, releasing the stress-reducing hormone (激素) Individuals who volunteer on a regular basis report greater life satisfaction. And what is even greater is that kindness rarely stops with just one person. There can be a positive contagion (扩散) effect, where other people are motivated to be nice if they receive a random act of kindness. The question then arises: Could kindness be harmful to us when it has such clear benefits Let’s think about this in the workplace or in an organization.
You are the new person on the team and you want to be well-liked and respected by your colleagues. You are a kind person and tell your team, “Let me know how I can help you; I’m always available to help. ”Though you may truly mean this, there are unfortunately people in this world who can see your kindness as a weakness. This can lead to you being taken advantage of by others.
Let’s fast forward a year. You have been in your position now for one year, and you are working with the same team. You are noticing that your colleagues continue asking for your help over and over again. In fact, the only time they communicate with you is when they need something. You have been so helpful to your colleagues and there has rarely been any return from them.
In a very broad sense, it is advantageous to be kind to others, and your kind acts will be appreciated and, perhaps, paid forward. However, you need to be willing to say “no”. Recognize when your plate is already too full. When people ask you a favor, assess if you have the time, energy, and attention to give to them. To truly be kind, sometimes you need to be more comfortable saying “no” to others and saying “yes” to yourself.
32. What has the Mayo Clinic found concerning kindness
A. It does good to our mind.
B. It reduces hormone levels.
C. It adds years to people’s life.
D. It leads to the success of civilizations.
33. What might the new person feel one year later
A. Grateful. B. Bored. C. Disappointed. D. Energetic.
34. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean
A. When you’re too full to eat anything.
B. When your kind acts get appreciated.
C. When you should ask others a favor.
D. When you’re physically and mentally tired.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Your kindness counts for your well-being!
B. Are we tiring ourselves with kindness
C. Why are random acts of kindness important
D. Never underestimate the power of kindness at work!

Hello, I am Oasis. This year, I am running for treasurer of our class. Twelfth grade will be our last year at this school. I believe none of us wants to end the year with no fun! As a result, I want to do something different in our class than in other years. Please vote for me because of the following reasons:
First of all, I have great quality to be the treasurer! People think it is easier to take care of your own money than others. And yes, it is true. But I am capable of this challenge, I am organized, responsible, and ... good at math. You can definitely trust me with our class money.
I will keep treasury clear, make sure every income and withdraw beneficial for our class. This is my duty for being a treasurer and I will take it seriously. I will set up a document that shows our class bill monthly. In that way, everyone can ask questions and give advice. You will know how our class donation is doing and how every spending is used, and actually be a part of it.
Lastly, I want you all to trust me that I will do what I said today. Please think more before you vote, and give your twelfth grade year a good treasurer and an Oasis.
Vote for me. Thank you.
