8、eeds of Knowledge: Teen Tour and Natural Bath Bomb Making Workshop.DFREE Saturday Leadership Program for Hispanic Youth.It is a bright cold day in April and Paul Blachut is busy as usual. From behind the bar of a restaurant, he has a good view of the river. He can see that, along the shore, many vis
9、itors are cooling their feet in the river.Among those are a mother and her two teenage daughters. Theyre standing on the edge of the riverbank, playing with an inflatable (充气的)tube when, suddenly, the girls lose their footing and are caught in the rivers current. It all happens so fast. The girls de
10、sperately grab on to the tube, which their mother is sitting in, dragging her into the river, too. Now all three are being carried away by the fast current.A bystander races to the restaurant and shouted for help. Despite having no lifesaving training, Blachut rushes to the riverbank, quickly pullin
11、g off his T-shirt. Then he jumps into the river. He doesnt care about the cold; all he can think about is saving the women. As Blachut gets closer to them, he can tell that the mother seems to be in the most trouble; her head is now submerged. He recalls how a lifeguard saves people in a movie so he
12、 tries this, but in vain. Without hesitation, Blachut dives under the drowning woman, pushing her upward and using that momentum (冲力) to push her toward the shore. Then he dives into the current again, swims quickly downstream and manages to get hold of one of the teenagers, and get her out in the s
13、ame way he did her mother. He is out of strength and luckily, the girls sister is helped out by someone else.Several onlookers express their admiration for Blachut following the incident, but he is modest about his role. “The whole rescue only took two or three minutes” he says today, adding that he

16、7In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?AHealth.BTravel.CInspiration.DEntertainment.To humans, roads mean connection and escape; to other life-forms, they spell death and division. A half-century ago, just 3 percent of land animals met their end on a road; by 2017 the number had greatly
17、 doubled.Considering the outsize effects of roads, its perhaps surprising that they didnt truly receive their scientific due until the late 20th century. In 1993, Richard Forman, a landscape ecologist, coined an English term: “road ecology,” defined loosely as the study of how “life changes for plan
18、ts and animals with a road and traffic nearby.” As the 1990s wore on, road ecology gained steam.Like most people, I at once cherish animals and think nothing of piloting a 3,000-pounddeath machine. One summer, in Alaska, I hit a songbirda death I didnt discover until I found the delicate splash of f
19、eathers the next day. Id killed it unconsciously. But I could do nothing.Road ecology offers one path through this thicket (灌木丛). North America and Europe constructed their road networks with little regard for how they would affect nature. Today, in theory, we know better. Road ecology has revealed
20、the danger of thoughtless development and pointed us toward solutions. Over the last several decades, its practitioners have constructed bridges for bears, tunnels (隧道) for turtles. In Kenya, elephants move slowly beneath highways and railroads via passages as tall as two-story houses.And road ecolo
21、gy has yielded more than crossings: Weve also learned to map and protect the migrations of certain animals, to design roadsides that nourish bees and butterflies proof that old mistakes need not be permanent.Today were entering a period that might fairly be considered the golden age of road ecology.
22、 The coming years will undoubtedly be transformative ones for our road network. Still, whether we can ever truly undo the harms of our concrete-coated world is far less certain.8What may be the reason for the doubled death number by 2017?ARoad noises.BTraffic accidents.CNatural disasters.DHunting ac
23、tivities.9What did the author want to tell us by the experience in Alaska in Paragraph 3?ASongbirds were common in that area.BThe songbirds death was undervalued.CDriving a car was necessary for his job.DHe was much troubled by the songbird.10Which best describes the impact of road ecology?AFar-reac

25、the internet, critical thinking was the most important skill that informed citizens could have. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a German psychologist, an even more important skill is “critical ignoring.” With such an overabundance of information, we need to first decide what
26、s worth our attention and time, and whats not.The first strategy is self-nudging. This involves avoiding low-quality information so that we have more quality time for ourselves. It also involves the removal of distracting things from the environment around you. Of course, we need to stay informed of
27、 world events, so we cant just ignore the internet altogether. When you do go into social media, Kozyreva recommends setting time limits, which prevents you from losing track of time as you click on one attractive link after another.The next strategy is lateral (横向的) reading. Its purpose is to impro
28、ve judgments about the reliability of information, and to protect you from false and misleading information. The strategy involves opening a new web page to find out more about the source of the information. Likewise, its also good to check the source of the information in an internet post. Headline
29、s are often cheating. Theyre designed to attract attention, not provide information. The main idea of the article may be completely contrary to the implication in the headline. A sensational claim may provide a link with a headline that seems to support it, but a careful reading of the original sour
30、ce shows it doesnt.We live in a digital age in which were overwhelmed with information, much of it of poor quality. Train our critical ignoring skills and we can get the benefits of the internet while we avoid falling victim to those who try to control our attention.12Which of the following saying c

Here is some advice on how to make exercise as fun as video games.Have an objectiveWhen youre playing a game, theres always an objective. It helps us focus on the task at hand an
34、d motivates us to keep playing until we win the game. 16 Create a clear fitness goal. Aim to walk 10,000 steps a day, for example, or try to run a total of 6 miles every week.Compete against othersAdding an element of competition to your exercise routine can actually help you work out harder. If you
35、re seeking a similar motivation, look into fitness programs that encourage friendly competition. The app Zwift, for example, is a good choice. 17 Team up with othersGetting a group to work together toward a common goal was also an effective way to increase physical activity. You can try to recreate
36、this dynamic by working toward an exercise goal with other people, particularly those who you have a close relationship to. 18 So grab a close friend or family member and bring them to the gym with you.Add a sense of playfulnessSome people love video games because theres a lot of unpredictability an
37、d surprise. 19 You can recreate this sense of playfulness in your own exercises. For example, you can take photos of at least 5 different flowers on your neighborhood walk. Ride your bike from one friends house to another. 20 If exercise makes you feel slightly happy or adds some kind of meaning to
38、your life, thats great.AExercise should be no different.BJust remember every moment of playful engagement is a victory.CBut how to apply these techniques to our everyday fitness routines?DSimilarly, you can do many things to bring back a sense of childlike wonder.EIt allows you race against others a
