Even in the face of fire, smoke and flood, firefighter Li Shengli doesn't draw back. Hesimply says it is his job as a firefighter and his duty as a member of the Communist Party of China.
Li, 51, who became a firefighter in 1991, has fought at the forefront in firefighting andrescue over the past 30 years. He has participated in over 11,000 tasks, saving about 30,000trapped people.

"Fear is a human nature, but not retreating is a kind of responsibility. With so manypeople waiting to be rescued, I couldn't be afraid, let alone withdraw," he said.
In July 2021, when several cities in Henan Province were hit by severe floods, Li joinedthe rescue. He and his teammates used a small boat to transfer trapped people. The boatsuddenly lost power and stopped in the water. Without hesitation, Li jumped into the deepwater and grabbed a rope to move them to a safe place several hundred meters away.
"The people on the boat were all villagers from my hometown. I brought my teammatesto my hometown to fight the flood, and of course I needed to get down into the water first tohelp," he said.
In September 2021, Li was transferred to the command center of Jiangxi Fire and RescueBrigade due to many physical injuries. "The platform has changed, but the heart of being afirefighter is the same. You have to get to the front line when the emergency appears, thenothers would trust you."

As newer, more advanced technologies come out, huge amounts of electronics（电子产品）are thrown away, instead of being reused. These goods often end up in landfills, wherethe chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment. Electronics can containharmful materials. If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can causeserious problems. Most electronics require metals. These metals must be mined from theEarth. Often the
mining process creates serious pollution.
A group known as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment（WEEE）Forum is tryingto make people more aware of the problems of e-waste. Recently, the WEEE Forum askedresearchers from the United Nations（UN）to
study a kind of e-waste that's often not noticedbecause people don't consider the goods to be electronics. The WEEE Forum calls this kind"unable-to-be-seen” e-waste.
The UN study shows that about 1/6 of all e-waste is "unable-to-be-seen". Though it's"unable-to-be-seen", it's certainly not a small amount. The "unable-to-be-seen" e-wasteweighs about 9 billion kilograms. The WEEE Forum says that if this e-waste were put into40-ton trucks and the trucks were then lined up, the line of trucks would be about
5,630kilometers long.
The surprising kind leading the "unable-to-be-seen" e-waste group was toys. Worldwide, roughly 7.3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year. These include goods like carracing sets, electric trains, and musical toys. They also include toys with electronic parts, like dolls that speak or games with electronic timers. In all, toys make up about 35% of"unable-to-be-seen" e-waste. But the problem is far larger than just toys. The report alsoshows that other
everyday goods like home alarms, smoke alarms, power tools, and computercables（电缆）are also big sources of
"unable-to-be-seen” e-waste.
The WEEE Forum is hoping that as more people and governments become aware ofe-waste, they will make a much greater effort to make sure electronics get reused.
28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The amount of electronics. B. The development of electronics. C. The ways of reusing electronics. D. The pollution of electronics.
29. What causes some e-waste often unnoticed A. People's interest in electronics' character.
B. People's impression on electronics' package. C. People's misunderstanding of electronics.
D. People's struggle to adapt to electronics.
30. How does the author support his viewpoint in paragraph 3
A. By showing numbers. B. By providing examples.
C. By making a summary. D. By making a comparison,
31. Which of the following is the WEEE Forum's solution to e-waste
A. Designing advanced electronics. B. Making electronics get reused.
C. Stopping giving away electronics. D. Reducing electronics' production.

A powerful earthquake hit Morocco, killing thousands of people and causing huge damageover a large area.
The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. It was not only one of the mostpowerful earthquakes ever recorded in Morocco, but also the country's deadliest earthquake inover 60 years.

Outside of Marrakesh, the earthquake caused even more damage. In the AtlasMountains, the earthquake's center, there were many small villages. Many people in the arealived in simple houses made of mud, a traditional way of building in Morocco. But they' re notstrong enough to survive earthquakes and many of these houses simply fell apart, turning intosand. The Moroccan government has laws requiring buildings to be built more safely, yetthese rules were often overlooked.
In larger cities, rescue efforts seemed to be going well. But it took a lot longer for help toreach remote（偏远
的）areas in the mountains. That meant the local people in those areas hadto deal with the situation on their own.
They had to dig through the ruins with their hands, searching for survivors who were trapped. Moreover, many people were sleeping outside, unsure if their houses were safe enough.
More help was on the way. Many outside countries offered teams of experts andemergency supplies. But the government said too many different rescue teams could make thesituation more confusing.
32. Why did the earthquake lead to the most deaths on record in Morocco A. It struck a large and tourist city.
B. It was powerful and happened at night. C. The rescue teams arrived too late.
D. The traditional houses were not strong enough.

Last year, I worked as a young marketing person in a company. It was one of those busydays—management
meetings, sales calls, planning my travels, booking hotels and the list wasendless. By the end of the day, I was not only tired but was getting angry with myself andeveryone around me. It was at this time that Paul invited me to his house.
Although tired, I was excited to chat with Paul and learn through his rich experience inmarketing. As I entered through the main door to his house, Paul started singing a song: Ihave a dream, to help me through in everything…and so on. I was in no mood to listen tohis song; I wanted to hear about how he dealt with difficult sales calls!
As I told him about just that, I was totally surprised at what I saw next. Two young girlsaged between 17 and 20 walked over to-Paul and hugged him. They couldn't walk steadily, and neither could they talk properly. Their faces were full of smiles when they heard thesong.
Curious to know, I asked Paul who these girls were. I knew that Paul lived in that housebut I had never seen these girls. Paul explained, "I also have a dream, a dream to make thesegirls happy. They are my daughters and they were born as "special children'." And he furtheradded, "They don't have a mother. My wife died when they were very young." He was bothmother and father to the beautiful daughters.
I was moved to tears. In the office, no one knew what Paul was going through in hispersonal life. He never looked for any pity from his friends. In fact, he always helped us andencouraged us to move forward in life.
I finished my tea and made my way out, when Paul said to me, "All of us have dreams."
