Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Susan had worked for the same company for a long time.She was smart， worked hard and was good at mentoring （指导） others to help them develop their skills and careers.Then， she was unexpectedly restructured into a different job.Susan reached out to me a few weeks into her new role as she wrestled with the change.She was worried that she wasn’t learning the new skills needed fast enough and that she was letting her team down， to the point where she feared her role could be at risk.
Given Susan’s fears， we decided we needed to start big and tackle her fear head-on with new exposure opportunities.So we set Susan a huge challenge to deliberately （故意地） step out of her comfort zone and embrace a beginner’s mindset.This meant finding new hobbies outside of work that she wasn’t confident she would be able to master and stick with.
Susan took up sewing.She was a novice （新手） and had to watch plenty of videos online to figure out how to do anything.Taking on a beginner’s mindset helped her to enjoy what it feels like to learn， rather than fall into frustration （受挫）.She also practised how it feels to accept mistakes.It hasn’t been a smooth path — Susan recalled with humour the times that she wanted to throw a tantrum as it all felt too hard.To her credit though， she continues to sew.
My next experiment was to see how she might take this mindset into her new role.For this， I coached Susan to let her colleagues know she was feeling anxious about her performance and ask for feedback.Collecting quality feedback from her colleagues helped Susan to take baby steps and progress， while easing her fears of losing her job any time soon.
At our last conversation， Susan described herself as a beginner’s mind “novice”； learning still isn’t comfortable for her but it is helping her understand that she can take a different approach.Most importantly， she’s more open than ever towards trying new things.
1.What happened to Susan when she contacted the author？（ ）
A.She entered a new company.
B.She worked hard to adapt to her new job.
C.There was a tension between her and her team.
D.There would be a structural change in her company.
2.What did the author and Susan decide to do in response to Susan’s issue？（ ）
A.Relieve her work stress.
B.Change priorities in her life.
C.Introduce her to new things.
D.Improve her work efficiency.
3.What does the underlined part “throw a tantrum” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean？（ ）
A.Work out details. B.Ask for feedback.
C.Raise questions. D.Get angry.
4.Which of the following was Susan’s change after the author’s “next experiment”？（ ）
A.She became faster at learning new skills.
B.She became less worried about losing her job.
C.She became more unwilling to take on challenges.
D.She became skilled at practising her beginner’s mind.

Wind energy provided 7％ of the total electricity in the United States in 2019.Since 2008， the use of coal-fired power plants has declined， as the use of renewable energy and natural gas has increased.Wind energy is an excellent way to reduce carbon emissions， but what happens when the wind turbine blades （涡轮机叶片） wear out？ Is there a waste management issue？
The design life of wind turbines is about 20 to 25 years.The longest wind turbine blade to date is 350 feet， almost the length of a football field.Although certain parts of wind turbines can be relatively easily recycled， others are not designed for recyclability.In particular， wind turbine blades present the biggest waste management challenge.Many spent turbine blades are piling up in landfills.However， researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory （NREL） are making progress in this area.
They developed a blade out of thermoplastic resin （热塑性树脂） that is low-cost， lightweight， and seems to be recyclable.If the new blade also proves to be strong， this could be a game changer for the offshore and onshore wind industry.Lower costs could also help improve wind energy efficiency， reducing the use of fossil fuels.A lightweight blade is easier to transport and uses less fuel.It also seems easier to recycle and uses less energy in the production process.“With the traditional material， it’s almost like when you fry an egg.It’s finished and you can’t undo that，” said Derek Berry， a senior engineer at NREL.“But with a thermoplastic resin system， you can make a blade out of it.You heat it to a certain temperature， and it melts back down.You can get the liquid resin back and reuse that.”
Although the research looks promising， progress will be slow.Most wind farms being constructed today will stop working in a few decades.The benefits of recyclable blades are still decades away at best.The associated environmental impact has largely been a blind spot for the industry.Hopefully， recent progress will help make wind power even greener.
5.What is one disadvantage of the current wind turbine blade？（ ）
A.Its vast size.
B.Its short life.
C.Its negative impact on the environment.
D.Its inefficiency in producing electricity.
6.What do Derek’s words mainly show？（ ）
A.Why thermoplastic resin is strong.
B.How thermoplastic resin is recycled.
C.The popularity of thermoplastic resin.
D.The production process of thermoplastic resin.
7.What is the author’s attitude to the future of wind energy？（ ）
A.Contradictory. B.Carefree.
C.Doubtful. D.Optimistic.
8.What is the text mainly about？（ ）
A.A new way to develop turbine blades.
B.A fresh approach to using wind power.
C.An unknown renewable energy source.
D.The urge to tear down old turbine blades.
C
There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary greatly in the types of work involved and in the ways they influence a person’s life.The kind of career you have can affect your life in many ways.By making wise decisions concerning your career， you can help yourself build the life you want.To do that， you need as much information as possible.The more you know about yourself， the better you will be able to choose a satisfying career.
What do people hope to obtain from a career？ Some people desire a high income.Some hope for fame.Others seek for adventure.Still， others intend to serve people and make the world a better place.Before you begin to explore career fields， you should determine your values， your interests， and your aptitudes that will make you competent in your future work.Most people are happiest with jobs that fit their values， interests， and skills.Each person has many values， which vary in strength.For example， money is of the greatest value for some people — that is， wealth is more important to them than anything else.As a result， they focus their thoughts， behaviour， and emotions on the goal of earning a high income.Other values include devoting themselves to religion， taking risks， spending time with family， and helping others.
Before making a career decision， you can ask yourself what is the most important to you and examine your belief to better know your values.For example， is it important for you to work as a member of a team？ Or would you rather be in charge or work alone？ If working alone or being in charge is important to you， independence is probably one of your primary values.
9.How can we make a wise career decision？（ ）
A.By learning more about ourselves.
B.By sticking to our belief more firmly.
C.By changing our interests more often.
D.By finding more career opportunities.
10.What does the underlined word “aptitudes” in Paragraph 2 mean？（ ）
A.Experiences. B.Abilities.
C.Feelings. D.Families.
11.According to the writer， a satisfying career is the one that .（ ）
A.brings huge wealth
B.meets inner demands
C.develops interests and skills
D.contributes to forming values
12.What does the writer convey to us in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.The contents of our values.
B.The foundations of our values.
C.The places to achieve our values.
D.The ways to understand our values.

Work to live， live to work
[1]If you were asked the question， “Do you work to live or live to work？”， what would your answer be？Some might say that we work because we have to， not least① because we need the salary②that enables us to be financially independent③.[2]It is certainly true that most of us do join the labour④ force once our studies are completed.Indeed， it could be argued that our education is geared⑤ towards preparing us for a life of work.[3]However， earning a living⑥ is by no means⑦ the only reason why we work — there are other important reasons that motivate us to enter the world of work.
[1]本句使用了虚拟语气在非真实条件句中的用法。if引导的虚拟条件句，表示与现在事实相反，从句谓语的形式用过去式（were asked），主句谓语的形式用“would/could/should/might＋动词原形”。
[2]句中It作形式主语，that引导的主语从句作真正的主语；do用来强调谓语动词join；once引导条件状语从句。
[3]动词-ing短语earning a living作主语；why引导定语从句，修饰先行词reason；that引导定语从句，修饰先行词reasons。
Through the work we do， our goals can be attained⑧and our dreams achieved.All of us have had dreams of one kind or another and work often enables us to pursue those dreams.Henry David Thoreau said， “...if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams， and endeavors⑨ to live the life which he has imagined， he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”[4]Yang Liwei， for example， driven by his passion⑩ for flying， became a pilot and then China’s first astronaut in space. [5]Wherever our interests may lie and whatever our career choices might be， work allows us the opportunity to be engaged in something we are fond of， and consequently， it can give us a great sense of achievement and satisfaction.
[4]过去分词短语driven by his passion for flying作原因状语。
[5]本句整体上是一个and连接的并列句。前一个分句中， Wherever和whatever均引导让步状语从句；动词不定式短语to be engaged in something we are fond of作后置定语，修饰the opportunity；省略关系词that的定语从句we are fond of修饰先行词something。
[6]Work can also help develop our skills， thus providing room for personal growth.[7]When we work， we must practise our skills constantly and continuously until we excel in what we do.[8] Our rapidly changing workplace makes it necessary for us to keep up and develop new skills.Twenty years ago， positions in social technologies or energy efficiency did not even exist， and it is difficult to anticipate the new positions which will emerge twenty years from now.However， it is certain that no one can afford to be satisfied with the status quo .In order to better adapt ourselves to new circumstances， we must be ready and willing to acquire new skills.[9]This can add to our sense of achievement and our knowledge that we are developing as individuals while we move along our chosen career path.
[6]动词-ing短语providing room ...作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。
[7]When引导时间状语从句；until引导时间状语从句；what引导宾语从句，作介词in的宾语。
[8]句中it作形式宾语，动词不定式短语to keep up and develop new skills作真正的宾语。
[9]that引导同位语从句，解释说明knowledge的具体内容，其中包含while引导的时间状语从句。
[10]Not only does work benefit us personally， it also contributes to the health of society.At the most basic level， different types of jobs are like gears in a machine.[11]They work to ensure that the machine we call “society” functions properly.In a successful， stable and productive society， all jobs are equally important and no one is superior to another， so we should not have prejudice against any of them.[12]Whether we are scientists， lawyers ， doctors， public servants ， consultants ， clerks ， receptionists or butchers， we all make our respective contributions.Moreover， there are people who choose to step out of their comfort zone and commit themselves to working for the benefit of others.For example， teachers in remote rural areas are devoted to changing the lives of the people with less access to the advantages enjoyed by many others.In this way， we work to advance our communities and bring success to our nation.
[10]本句为not only ...（but） also ...连接的并列句。not only置于句首时，其所在的分句使用部分倒装。
[11]动词不定式短语to ensure ...作目的状语；其中that引导宾语从句，作动词ensure的宾语。
[12]whether ...or ...“无论……还是……”，引导让步状语从句。
[13]Wherever life takes us and whatever choices are laid out before us， something worth remembering is that our work， when done well， will not only help us make a living but also help make a life for ourselves and for others.[14]We can take pride in the knowledge that hard work is essential for our individual well-being as well as for the benefit of our society as a whole .
[13]该句结构较复杂，Wherever ...and whatever ...是两个让步状语从句，主句的主语是something， worth remembering充当其后置定语，系动词is后面是由that引导的表语从句。在表语从句中，主干结构是our work will not only ...but also ...，其中插入when done well这一时间状语从句，而when后省略了our work is。
[14]that引导的同位语从句，解释说明名词knowledge的具体内容。

为了活着而工作，还是为了工作而活着
如果有人问你这个问题：“你是为了活着而工作，还是为了工作而活着？”你会怎么回答呢？有人可能会说，我们工作是因为我们必须工作，尤其是因为我们需要薪水来实现经济独立。当然，大多数人确实是学业一结束就进入职场了。的确可以说，我们的教育就是在为自己一生的职业生涯做准备。不过，谋生绝非我们工作的唯一原因——还有其他重要的原因在推动我们走向工作岗位。
通过我们所做的工作，我们的目标可以达成，我们的梦想也可以实现。我们所有人都曾心怀这样或那样的梦想，而工作常常能让我们追寻那些梦想。亨利·戴维·梭罗曾说过：“……一个人若自信地朝他梦想的方向行进，努力过他设想的那种生活，那么他就会在平常的时刻与成功不期而遇。”例如杨利伟，他怀着对飞翔的酷爱当上了飞行员，然后成为中国第一位飞向太空的宇航员。不论我们有什么爱好，选择了什么职业，工作都能让我们有机会从事自己喜欢的事情，因而让我们获得极大的成就感和满足感。
工作也能帮助我们提升技能，从而拓展我们的个人成长空间。在工作中，我们需要持续不断地磨练技术，直至能出色完成所做的工作。瞬息万变的职场也让我们必须与时俱进，发展新技能。二十年前，社交技术或能源效率方面的职位甚至还不存在，而且也难以预测二十年后将会出现的新职位。然而，可以肯定的是，没有人能够承担得起满足于现状的后果。为了让自己更好地适应新环境，我们必须随时准备并愿意去掌握新技能。这能够增强我们的成就感，并且让我们明白在沿着自己选定的职业道路前进时，我们作为个体正在发展着。
工作不仅在个人层面上对我们有益，还能促进社会的健康发展。从最基本的层面来看，各种各样的职业就像一台机器里的一个个零件。它们的运转保障着我们称之为“社会”的这部机器正常运行。在一个成功、稳定而有成效的社会里，所有的工作都同等重要，没有哪一份工作优于别的工作，因此我们对任何工作都不应该抱有偏见。无论我们是科学家、律师、医生、公务员，还是顾问、公司职员、接待员或肉贩，大家都各有一份贡献。而且，有的人选择走出自己的舒适区，投身为他人谋福利的事业中。比如，偏远乡村地区的教师们致力于改变一些人的命运，这些人没有那么多条件享受许多其他人所能享受的福利。通过这种方式，我们就是在为推动我们的社会进步和民族振兴而工作。
无论生活把我们带到哪里，无论摆在我们面前的选择是什么，值得记住的是，当我们的工作做得好时，它不仅会帮助我们谋生，还会帮助自己和他人创造生活。我们应该自豪地意识到辛勤工作对个人和整个社会的福祉都至关重要。

2.美句欣赏——赏佳句，品用法
明喻是常用as或like等词将具有某种共同特征的两种不同事物联系起来的一种修辞手法。使用明喻可使事物描绘得更加生动形象，引发读者的联想和想象，给人以鲜明深刻的印象，使语言富有很强的感染力，还可以使深刻的、抽象的道理浅显、具体地表达出来。
请从课文中找出使用明喻的句子。
仿写：①太阳像火一样炙烤着地球。（like）
②我伸手去摸她的脸，她的脸像冰一样冷。（as ...as ...）

Work to live， live to work
[1]If you were asked the question， “Do you work to live or live to
work？”， what would your answer be？Some might say that we work
because we have to， not least① because we need the salary②that enables
us to be financially independent③.[2]It is certainly true that most of us do
join the labour④ force once our studies are completed.Indeed， it could
be argued that our education is geared⑤ towards preparing us for a life of
work.[3]However， earning a living⑥ is by no means⑦ the only reason
why we work — there are other important reasons that motivate us to enter
the world of work.
[1]本句使用了虚拟语气在非真实条件句中的用法。if引导的虚
拟条件句，表示与现在事实相反，从句谓语的形式用过去式（were
asked），主句谓语的形式用“would/could/should/might＋动词原
形”。
[2]句中It作形式主语，that引导的主语从句作真正的主语；do用
来强调谓语动词join；once引导条件状语从句。
[3]动词-ing短语earning a living作主语；why引导定语从句，修
饰先行词reason；that引导定语从句，修饰先行词reasons。
【读文清障】
①not least 尤其，特别
last but not least最后但同样重要的
②salary n.薪金，薪水
③financially independent 经济独立
④labour n.劳工；劳动，（尤指）体力劳动；分娩期，分娩 vi.努力
做；干苦力活
labour force （全公司或全国的）劳动力
⑤gear vt.使适合于
n.排挡，齿轮，传动装置
⑥earn a living 谋生
⑦by no means 决不，一点儿也不
Through the work we do， our goals can be attained⑧and our dreams
achieved.All of us have had dreams of one kind or another and work often
enables us to pursue those dreams.Henry David Thoreau said， “...if
one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams， and endeavors⑨
to live the life which he has imagined， he will meet with a success
unexpected in common hours.”[4]Yang Liwei， for example， driven
by his passion⑩ for flying， became a pilot and then China’s first
astronaut in space.
[5]Wherever our interests may lie and whatever our career choices might
be， work allows us the opportunity to be engaged in something we are
fond of， and consequently， it can give us a great sense of
achievement and satisfaction.
[4]过去分词短语driven by his passion for flying作原因状语。
[5]本句整体上是一个and连接的并列句。前一个分句中，
Wherever和whatever均引导让步状语从句；动词不定式短语to be
engaged in something we are fond of作后置定语，修饰the
opportunity；省略关系词that的定语从句we are fond of修饰先行词
something。
⑧attain vt.获得；达到
⑨endeavour （AmE endeavor） vi.努力，尽力n.努力，尝试
⑩passion n.酷爱；强烈情感
be engaged in 从事于；忙于
fond adj.喜爱
be fond of 喜爱
a sense of 一种……的感觉
[6]Work can also help develop our skills， thus providing room for
personal growth.[7]When we work， we must practise our skills
constantly and continuously until we excel in what we do.[8] Our
rapidly changing workplace makes it necessary for us to keep up and
develop new skills.Twenty years ago， positions in social technologies or
energy efficiency did not even exist， and it is difficult to anticipate the
new positions which will emerge twenty years from now.However， it
is certain that no one can afford to be satisfied with the status quo .In
order to better adapt ourselves to new circumstances， we must be ready
and willing to acquire new skills.[9]This can add to our sense of
achievement and our knowledge that we are developing as individuals
while we move along our chosen career path.
[6]动词-ing短语providing room ...作结果状语，表示自然而然
的结果。
[7]When引导时间状语从句；until引导时间状语从句；what引导
宾语从句，作介词in的宾语。
[8]句中it作形式宾语，动词不定式短语to keep up and develop
new skills作真正的宾语。
[9]that引导同位语从句，解释说明knowledge的具体内容，其中
包含while引导的时间状语从句。
excel vi.擅长，善于
anticipate vt.预料；预计
emerge vi.& vt.出现，浮现，暴露
be satisfied with对……感到满意，满足于……
status quo 现状，原来的状况
adapt oneself to 使自己适应……
[10]Not only does work benefit us personally， it also contributes to
the health of society.At the most basic level， different types of jobs
are like gears in a machine.[11]They work to ensure that the machine we
call “society” functions properly.In a successful， stable and
productive society， all jobs are equally important and no one is superior
to another， so we should not have prejudice against any of
them.[12]Whether we are scientists， lawyers ， doctors， public
servants ， consultants ， clerks ， receptionists or butchers， we
all make our respective contributions.Moreover，
there are people who choose to step out of their comfort zone and
commit themselves to working for the benefit of others.For example，
teachers in remote rural areas are devoted to changing the lives of the
people with less access to the advantages enjoyed by many others.In this
way， we work to advance our communities and bring success to our
nation.
[10]本句为not only ...（but） also ...连接的并列句。not
only置于句首时，其所在的分句使用部分倒装。
[11]动词不定式短语to ensure ...作目的状语；其中that引导
宾语从句，作动词ensure的宾语。
[12]whether ...or ...“无论……还是……”，引导让步状
语从句。
contribute to 促进；对……作出贡献
superior adj.更好的，占优势的n.级别（或地位、职位）更高的人
be superior to 优越于
prejudice n.偏见，成见
have prejudice against对……有偏见
lawyer n.律师
servant n.雇员，职员；仆人
public servant 公务员，公仆
consultant n.顾问；会诊医师
clerk n.职员，簿记员，文书
receptionist n.接待员
respective adj.分别的，各自的
zone n.地区；区域
comfort zone 舒适区，放松区
commit oneself to （doing） sth 专心致志于；承诺/保证（做）某事
be devoted to 致力于；献身于
[13]Wherever life takes us and whatever choices are laid out before
us， something worth remembering is that our work， when done well，
will not only help us make a living but also help make a life for ourselves
and for others.[14]We can take pride in the knowledge that hard work is
essential for our individual well-being as well as for the benefit of our
society as a whole .
[13]该句结构较复杂，Wherever ...and whatever ...是两
个让步状语从句，主句的主语是something， worth remembering
充当其后置定语，系动词is后面是由that引导的表语从句。在表语
从句中，主干结构是our work will not only ...but also ...，其
中插入when done well这一时间状语从句，而when后省略了our
work is。
[14]that引导的同位语从句，解释说明名词knowledge的具体
内容。
lay out （整齐地）铺开，展开；策划，布置，设计
take pride in 为……自豪，为……骄傲
as a whole 整体而言，总体上
【参考译文】
为了活着而工作，还是为了工作而活着
如果有人问你这个问题：“你是为了活着而工作，还是为了工作
而活着？”你会怎么回答呢？有人可能会说，我们工作是因为我们必
须工作，尤其是因为我们需要薪水来实现经济独立。当然，大多数人
确实是学业一结束就进入职场了。的确可以说，我们的教育就是在为
自己一生的职业生涯做准备。不过，谋生绝非我们工作的唯一原因—
—还有其他重要的原因在推动我们走向工作岗位。
通过我们所做的工作，我们的目标可以达成，我们的梦想也可以
实现。我们所有人都曾心怀这样或那样的梦想，而工作常常能让我们
追寻那些梦想。亨利·戴维·梭罗曾说过：“……一个人若自信地朝
他梦想的方向行进，努力过他设想的那种生活，那么他就会在平常的
时刻与成功不期而遇。”例如杨利伟，他怀着对飞翔的酷爱当上了飞
行员，然后成为中国第一位飞向太空的宇航员。不论我们有什么爱
好，选择了什么职业，工作都能让我们有机会从事自己喜欢的事情，
因而让我们获得极大的成就感和满足感。
工作也能帮助我们提升技能，从而拓展我们的个人成长空间。在
工作中，我们需要持续不断地磨练技术，直至能出色完成所做的工
作。瞬息万变的职场也让我们必须与时俱进，发展新技能。二十年
前，社交技术或能源效率方面的职位甚至还不存在，而且也难以预测
二十年后将会出现的新职位。然而，可以肯定的是，没有人能够承担
得起满足于现状的后果。为了让自己更好地适应新环境，我们必须随
时准备并愿意去掌握新技能。这能够增强我们的成就感，并且让我们
明白在沿着自己选定的职业道路前进时，我们作为个体正在发展着。
工作不仅在个人层面上对我们有益，还能促进社会的健康发展。
从最基本的层面来看，各种各样的职业就像一台机器里的一个个零
件。它们的运转保障着我们称之为“社会”的这部机器正常运行。在
一个成功、稳定而有成效的社会里，所有的工作都同等重要，没有哪
一份工作优于别的工作，因此我们对任何工作都不应该抱有偏
见。无论我们是科学家、律师、医生、公务员，还是顾问、公司职
员、接待员或肉贩，大家都各有一份贡献。而且，有的人选择走出自
己的舒适区，投身为他人谋福利的事业中。比如，偏远乡村地区的教
师们致力于改变一些人的命运，这些人没有那么多条件享受许多其他
人所能享受的福利。通过这种方式，我们就是在为推动我们的社会进
步和民族振兴而工作。
无论生活把我们带到哪里，无论摆在我们面前的选择是什么，值
得记住的是，当我们的工作做得好时，它不仅会帮助我们谋生，还会
帮助自己和他人创造生活。我们应该自豪地意识到辛勤工作对个人和
整个社会的福祉都至关重要。

感染力，还可以使深刻的、抽象的道理浅显、具体地表达出来。
请从课文中找出使用明喻的句子。
At the most basic level， different types of jobs are like gears in a
machine.They work to ensure that the machine we call “society”
functions properly.
仿写：①太阳像火一样炙烤着地球。（like）
②我伸手去摸她的脸，她的脸像冰一样冷。（as ...as ...）
The Sun is burning the Earth like fire.
I reached out to touch her face， which was as cold as the ice.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Susan had worked for the same company for a long time.She was
smart， worked hard and was good at mentoring （指导） others to help
them develop their skills and careers.Then， she was unexpectedly
restructured into a different job.Susan reached out to me a few weeks into
her new role as she wrestled with the change.She was worried that she
wasn’t learning the new skills needed fast enough and that she was letting
her team down， to the point where she feared her role could be at risk.
Given Susan’s fears， we decided we needed to start big and tackle
her fear head-on with new exposure opportunities.So we set Susan a huge
challenge to deliberately （故意地） step out of her comfort zone and
embrace a beginner’s mindset.This meant finding new hobbies outside of
work that she wasn’t confident she would be able to master and stick
with.
Susan took up sewing.She was a novice （新手） and had to watch
plenty of videos online to figure out how to do anything.Taking on a
beginner’s mindset helped her to enjoy what it feels like to learn， rather
than fall into frustration （受挫）.She also practised how it feels to accept
mistakes.It hasn’t been a smooth path — Susan recalled with humour the
times that she wanted to throw a tantrum as it all felt too hard.To her credit
though， she continues to sew.
My next experiment was to see how she might take this mindset into
her new role.For this， I coached Susan to let her colleagues know she
was feeling anxious about her performance and ask for
feedback.Collecting quality feedback from her colleagues helped Susan to
take baby steps and progress， while easing her fears of losing her job any
time soon.
At our last conversation， Susan described herself as a beginner’s
mind “novice”； learning still isn’t comfortable for her but it is
helping her understand that she can take a different approach.Most
importantly， she’s more open than ever towards trying new things.

Wind energy provided 7％ of the total electricity in the United States
in 2019.Since 2008， the use of coal-fired power plants has declined， as
the use of renewable energy and natural gas has increased.Wind energy is
an excellent way to reduce carbon emissions， but what happens when the
wind turbine blades （涡轮机叶片） wear out？ Is there a waste
management issue？
The design life of wind turbines is about 20 to 25 years.The longest
wind turbine blade to date is 350 feet， almost the length of a football
field.Although certain parts of wind turbines can be relatively easily
recycled， others are not designed for recyclability.In particular， wind
turbine blades present the biggest waste management challenge.Many
spent turbine blades are piling up in landfills.However， researchers from
the National Renewable Energy Laboratory （NREL） are making
progress in this area.
They developed a blade out of thermoplastic resin （热塑性树脂）
that is low-cost， lightweight， and seems to be recyclable.If the new
blade also proves to be strong， this could be a game changer for the
offshore and onshore wind industry.Lower costs could also help improve
wind energy efficiency， reducing the use of fossil fuels.A lightweight
blade is easier to transport and uses less fuel.It also seems easier to recycle
and uses less energy in the production process.“With the traditional
material， it’s almost like when you fry an egg.It’s finished and you
can’t undo that，” said Derek Berry， a senior engineer at NREL.
“But with a thermoplastic resin system， you can make a blade out of
it.You heat it to a certain temperature， and it melts back down.You can
get the liquid resin back and reuse that.”
Although the research looks promising， progress will be slow.Most
wind farms being constructed today will stop working in a few
decades.The benefits of recyclable blades are still decades away at
best.The associated environmental impact has largely been a blind spot for
the industry.Hopefully， recent progress will help make wind power even
greener.

There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary
greatly in the types of work involved and in the ways they influence a
person’s life.The kind of career you have can affect your life in many
ways.By making wise decisions concerning your career， you can help
yourself build the life you want.To do that， you need as much
information as possible.The more you know about yourself， the better
you will be able to choose a satisfying career.
What do people hope to obtain from a career？ Some people desire a
high income.Some hope for fame.Others seek for adventure.Still， others
intend to serve people and make the world a better place.Before you begin
to explore career fields， you should determine your values， your
interests， and your aptitudes that will make you competent in your future
work.Most people are happiest with jobs that fit their values， interests，
and skills.Each person has many values， which vary in strength.For
example， money is of the greatest value for some people — that is，
wealth is more important to them than anything else. As a result， they focus their thoughts， behaviour， and emotions on the goal of earning a high income.Other values include devoting themselves to religion， taking risks， spending time with family， and helping others.
Before making a career decision， you can ask yourself what is the
most important to you and examine your belief to better know your
values.For example， is it important for you to work as a member of a
team？ Or would you rather be in charge or work alone？ If working alone
or being in charge is important to you， independence is probably one of
your primary values.
