I started skiing when I was three years old. My mom worked as a ski instructor as she also loved the snow. I soon mastered the basic concepts of turning. When I was seven, I decided I wanted to take my skiing to the next level and join a team.
There were two options: racing, a popular event for girls, and free skiing, an event heavily dominated by boys. Riding the chairlift (升降椅) with my mother, I would see free skiers flying and spinning through the air. I immediately knew which team I wanted to join: free skiing.
As soon as I joined the team, I was placed in a low level. However, I soon taking short time mounted the rankings until I came to the highest group. At that point, I was the only girl on my team. I was isolated (形单影只的) at first; peers rode their chairlift in company and treated me as a courtesy (疏远的客气). But as time passed, It was slowly changed, I rarely felt no-in-close-touch and made some of my own. However, this entire process took three whole years.
Life is going to be a bumpy road for all of us, and building resiliency (适应力) early on is important. My experiences have taught me to meet my difficulties in life with open arms. In fact, after this encounter, I’ve become a better skier. However, there is no way that I could have done it without my supportive mother always behind me and my encouraging coach always, always behind me as well. I encourage you all to step out of your comfort zone to show the boys that girls are just as powerful as they are.

Australian employees now have the right to disconnect from work after work hours
——BBC NEWS
Is your boss texting you on the weekend Does work email rings long after you’ve left for home Employees in Australia can now ignore those and other intrusions (干扰，入侵) into home life thanks to a new “right to disconnect” law designed to control the creep of work emails and calls into personal lives.
The new rule, which came into effect on Monday, means employees, in most cases, cannot be punished for refusing to read or respond to contacts from their employers outside work hours.
Supporters say the law gives workers the confidence to stand up against the steady intrusions of their personal lives by work emails, texts and calls, a trend that has worsened since the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Before we had digital technology there was no invasion, people would go home at the end of work and there would be no contact until they returned the following day,” said John Hopkins, an associate professor at Swinburne University of Technology.
“Now, globally it’s the standard to have emails, SMS, phone calls outside those hours, even when on holiday.” Australians worked on average 281 hours of unpaid overtime in 2023, according to a survey last year by the Australia Institute.
“I think it’s actually really important that we have laws like this,” she told Reuters. “We spend so much of our time connected to our phones, connected to our emails all day, and I think that it’s really hard to switch off as it is.”
To meet the needs for emergencies and jobs with irregular hours, the rule still allows employers to contact their workers, who can refuse to respond only where it is reasonable to do so.
Determining whether a refusal is reasonable (合理的) will be up to Australia’s industrial judge, the Fair Work Commission, which must take into account an employee’s role, personal circumstances and how and why the contact was made. It has the power to take fines of up A$19,000 for an employee or up to A$94,000 for a company.
But the Australian Industry Group, an employer group, says unclear-ness about how the rule applies will create confusion for bosses and workers. Jobs will become less flexible, which in turn will slow the economy, it added.
24. The new “right to disconnect” law in Australia aims to ________.
A. encourage employees to work longer hours
B. protect employees from work intrusions into their personal lives
C. increase the number of unpaid overtime hours in return for their effort
D. make it easier for employers to contact employees outside work hours
25. According to the passage, before the appearance of digital technology, ________.
A. people often worked from home to enjoy stress-free settings
B. there was less contact between employers and employees outside work hours
C. people were more connected to their phones and emails when working from home
D the division between home and work was more unclear
26. The Fair Work Commission has the power to ________.
A. determine whether an employee’s refusal to respond is reasonable
B. take fines only on employees to avoid possible troubles and misunderstandings
C. take into consideration the benefits of the company
D. make the rule more unclear by taking useful steps
27. The Australian Industry Group believes that the new law will ________.
A. have a positive impact on the economy B. provide more flexibility for jobs
C. cause confusion for bosses and workers D. help employees disconnect more easily
C
The US $2.6 billion (2022) bubble tea (珍珠奶茶) market will reach US$6.2 billion by 2032, according to Brainy Insights’ new report. The bubble tea industry has had huge growth throughout the years and is still growing rapidly. The market is expected to increase as a result of factors such as rising consumer need, new product development, globalization, and the growing interest in Asian food and drinks.
Taiwan is where bubble tea was originally consumed and introduced, and one of the biggest drinkers of bubble tea is Thailand, where each person had six cups of bubble tea on average monthly in December 2019.

In the bubble tea market, the green tea category, which is beneficial to health, is expected to grow at the fastest speed.
Many bubble tea businesses now offer lower-sugar or sugar-free varieties, as well as different milk choices such as soy milk. These healthier bubble teas have attracted customers who love healthy products, making the bubble tea customer base bigger.

So again the fishing companies had a new bigger challenge. What they decided to do was to have fish tanks on their boats. After catching fishes, they would put them in the tanks and keep them living there until they got back to shore.

When I was about ten years old, my brother and I received a wonderful gift—tennis rackets(网球拍)and balls, which was exciting, for we had never played tennis. However, there was no tennis court in the small town where we lived. One Saturday morning my brother excitedly suggested playing tennis against the school building. I agreed immediately, not realizing what a lesson we would learn.
When we reached the school ground, no one was around. We began hitting our balls against the school building. We took turns hitting the ball back and forth, soon becoming pretty good at it and hitting higher and faster. Suddenly, something unthinkable happened—the ball got out of control and went crashing through one of the upstairs windows. We looked around and no one was in sight except an old man sitting on a porch halfway down the block.
Quietly, I asked my brother what to do. He looked around again. After confirming no one saw us, except that old man but he probably didn’t know who we were anyway, he suggested leaving secretly. “But should we tell Dad and Mum ” I asked again. A flash of worry came across his face. He was confused too. Carefully considering whether we should tell what had happened, we finally decided to pick up the rest of our balls and headed for home quietly.
Our mother was always in tune with her children. “What happened ” She asked as soon as she saw us. Looking into her eagle eyes, we had to admit what we had done. Hearing that, my mother screamed, “Oh, my goodness!” but soon calmly asked us to tell it to Dad. The moment Dad walked in the house, we both hurried to him and poured out our story. His response was typical. “Well, next Monday, I will call the school doorkeeper and see what we need to do. You will probably have to pay for the window.” We had two terribly worrying days to wait until our Dad got home from work on Monday.

Dad stepped into the house, looking quite tired and serious. We waited carefully for Dad’s decision. Dad pulled us to his side and said, “I have already called the school doorkeeper. He said you should go to the schoolmaster and admit your mistake.” Then, Dad took us to see the schoolmaster. We deeply apologized for our actions and promised to pay for the window. Smiling, he said he had known it from the doorkeeper. He said, “You didn’t do it intentionally, so there’s no need to worry too much.”
He could see our relief as he continued. He said that the school budget allowed for repairing windows, so we didn’t have to pay. He said with appreciation, “Everyone can do something wrong. As long as you can admit your mistakes and bravely take responsibility, you are honest and good children. I am proud of you.” We are also proud,
