Skye has been published over the years in print media not just for his photography but also voicin
12、g his opinion on conservation in South Africa and the need for more young photographers out there. For Skye, photography is not just about the competitions entered and won but also the platform it affords him to create awareness about our natural world and conserving it in the long term. Here is par
13、t of an interview to Skye from the Rational Perspective. Host: How do you get to have the ability to see these animals in the wild?Skye: Well, Ive been fortunate enough that my parents are so passionate about the bush that its just a by-product of me going on adventures with them that Ive been able
14、to pursue my photography because its not something that every kid will like. I want wildlife photography. So its quite a unique situation for me. Its something that I have been brought up and something Ive been fortunate to experience. Host: How do you take a good picture of a leopard?Skye: I had be
15、en following Limpy (the Leopard) for many years and she holds a special place in my heart. I had grown alongside her. For me, the perfect shot is one where I feel as if Im not really there. Its one where the animal is comfortable enough to behave as if Im not there. I like to feel immersed in the mo
16、ment and capture nature at its most natural. I like to focus on what I would like to see in the moment and what I feel. So in my winning picture I saw the peace and tranquillity of the moment, and thats what I tried to capture.21What does Skye think of photography?AA platform to show needs.BA way to
17、 gain good reputation.CA chance to get close to natural world.DA place to raise awareness of conservation.22Which of the following enables Skye to observe wild animals?AHis learning experience.BWinning the competition.CAdventuring with his parents.DHis photography knowledge.23What is the real reason
18、 for Skypes success?AHe stayed in the wild peacefully.BHe captured the animal to take pictures.CHe found a special place for the animal.DHe took the photo of the animal in its natural state.It has always been horrible for me to picture my life in old age. My recent visits to the senior care center,
19、however, eased some of my fears and provided valuable food for thought. Looking for meaningful ways to spend my weekends after my exams, I signed up to a program of arts and crafts for the elderly run by my schoolmates. I was informed that the Renci Nursing Home, where the program would be held, hou
20、sed some of the less fortunate elderly in Singapore. Some background research gave me the impression that many of them suffered from physical issues and had little family support. As a result, I expected the atmosphere there to be discouraging. And, judging by the lack of interest in the painting ac
21、tivities, I truly sensed a feeling of purposelessness there. Given that we live in a society in which the bonds between the generations are weakening, perhaps the disappointing atmosphere in the home wasnt surprising. The people were cut off from the ties that make life meaningful. Is it safe to say
22、 then that our lives after retirement will likely feel aimless? But after I spoke to a Portuguese-Chinese man, I thought that this wasnt necessarily so. At the age of 90, he displayed a surprisingly strong sense of control over his life. His liveliness was exceptional among the elderly population in
23、 the home. He had spent his life either traveling around the world as a backpacker, or working hard in Singapore to save up for his trips. He had made it a rule to learn foreign languages, exercise and eat healthily something he continued to do during his stay in the nursing home. While he spoke to
24、me about how his time in London had shaped his view of cultural difference. I looked into his eyes. I knew that this was the kind of control over life that I wanted for myself. I dont want to spend half of my time wandering about in foreign countries like he did, but I do want to appreciate the rich
25、ness that life has to offer.24Why did the author go to the Renci Nursery Home?ABecause it was run by his schoolmates.BBecause he meant to learn arts and crafts.CBecause he wanted a significant weekend.DBecause it housed some less fortunate elderly.25Before the author entered the nursing home, he tho
26、ught it was_.Aa place filled with depressionsBa place solving physical problemsCa place full of impressive activitiesDa place connecting different generations26What mainly helped the author change his attitude toward old age?AThe hard work of the elderly.BThe liveliness of an old man.CThe view of cu
27、ltural difference.DThe care of the nursing home.27What would be the best title for this passage?ACaring for the Elderly.BLiving by His Own Law.CTraveling on Our WayDPreparing for the Old Age.Does college year seem a long way off? What about several years later? These are the dates to look toward whe
28、n planning your career. The possibilities are prepared especially for those who see the big picture and have insight to research their options.Students pick occupations for many reasons. Yet choosing something that simply sounds exciting may not be the best option. Familiarity with a career doesnt a
29、utomatically make it a good profession for you. Although no one can predict the future, it makes more sense to eye trends in the economy and the workplace before making that critical decision. Picking the right field will make landing a dream job after school a reality. Having the ability to see the
30、 big picture is key. High school graduates should research the jobs that will be in demand in 10 to 20 years to determine the best future careers as they consider further schooling. According to one guidance counselor “The key word would be explore. Explore every optiondont limit yourself or sell yo
31、urself short. Think that you can do whatever you want to do.” Choosing a career can be complicated because of todays rapidly changing world. According to Next Step Magazine, up-and-coming jobs are, not surprisingly, in healthcare including dentists, medical scientists. home health aides, etc. When c
32、hoosing a career in healthcare, consider how attainable it is. How long will it take to complete the necessary program? Also consider the salary, status, and quality of life of that profession. Some jobs require long hours, weekends, and holidays, while others have more traditional hours. Sometimes
33、a job is significantly more difficult or tedious than it appears. Selecting a career because you want to make a difference in others lives becomes unsettling when you realize that crucial changes may not be possible due to complicated reasons. A jobs total compensation package can be critical too. I
34、ts not just about the salary. Its about healthcare benefits, paid vacation, retirement plans, stock options and other perks often available to educated and specially trained individuals. Keeping your options open, even if the career decision seems obvious, can work to your advantage. Continue to res
35、earch responsibilities. To avoid disappointment, think ahead, and try to predict where the voids will be in the career market.28According to the first two paragraphs, students should_.Aconsider their dreams criticallyBhave insight into their college yearCresearch before making job decisionsDchoose g
36、ood professions automatically29As for job option, what would the author suggest high school graduates do?APick professions in health care.BMake a difference in others lives.CAvoid occupations based on interests.DCompare difficulties of different jobs30What is the passage mainly about?APossibilities
37、of finding a good profession.BFactors to be considered for planning a career.CAbilities to be needed for future employment.DBenefits of picking a right occupationThe idea of unplugged running is gaining steam in the fitness community, as recent studies show that being addicted to tracking fitness me
38、trics can lead to negative mindsets and outcomes.Eoin Whelan, a senior lecturer in business information systems at the National University of Ireland Galway, explores the psychology behind engagement with social media and fitness tracking apps. “People are getting more enjoyment out of gathering the
39、 data and analyzing that and sharing it with other people”, Whelan told CNN, adding that there is a big element of social comparison for those who use fitness tracking apps. “People will compare themselves to people who are better than them, who are running faster or running longer. And ultimately w
40、e know that makes them feel bad.”Whelan also noted that people who are very reliant on smartwatches. fitness trackers or fitness apps are more likely to skip their workout if the batteries on their tracking devices are dead. Its like we cant interpret our own body signals. We are becoming very depen
41、dent on the technology to actually do that for us. When you ask some of the athletes a simple question like “how did you sleep last night?” they cant answer unless they look at the data. Other researches show that too much screen time, including looking at our smartwatch or fitness apps, has negativ
42、e impacts on mental health. The information people gather from smartwatches and workout tracking apps can contribute to “information overload” problems. Having a constant flow of information due to technology can lead to stress, anxiety, loss of sleep, depression, and more. The more we allow notific
43、ations and alerts to beckon (吸引) us, the more stress and anxiety chemicals are released, making us on edge and our mental and emotional systems are flooded with a message that says, “check me now”. Some experts advocate us to create screen-free zones as well as taking “tech breaks”, where we set a 1
44、5-or 30-timer during which we dont check our phone. The time limit tells our brain that we can check the phone soon and reduces the anxiety of feeling we have to check in all the time. Running watch-free is beneficial for more than just the casual jogger or weekend warrior. Some professionals also h
45、ave had success with leaving their watches at home. Welsh runner Steve Jones famously set a world record at the 1984 Chicago Marathon without wearing a watch. He later told journalists he didnt even know he was on world record-pace until he crossed the finish line.Its not all negative, though. Other
46、 studies show there are many upsides to using fitness trackers. When using these technologies, some people tend to exercise for longer and at a higher intensity as well, which is all good for their physical well- being. So ditching the data might not be best for everyone.31According to Whelan, why d
47、o people involve themselves in fitness tracking apps?ABecause they fail to interpret their own body signals.BBecause they want to learn from those who exercise better.CBecause they skip workout when their batteries run out.DBecause they gain satisfaction when they see the data.32What could “tech bre
48、aks” do for us, according to Whelan?AThey enable our mind to relax for a while.BThey allow us to check our phone at any time.CThey expose our mind to crowded information.DThey release anxiety chemicals affecting us.33What does the underlined word “ditching” in the last paragraph probably mean?ATracking.BAbandoning.CAnalyzing.DCollecting.34What
