17、rs. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos dont make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home. Ive got two childrenthe younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but al
18、l of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasnt worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk. As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely
19、 around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise theyd get up to mischief. Wed come down in the morning to find theyd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energ
20、y required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors. When Spot and Stripe were four months o
21、ld, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them.

The report also showed that nearly half of the respondents (受访者) said that such
25、 distress affected them daily, and three-quarters agreed with the statement that “the future is frightening.” This, and many other studies, show clearly that climate change is not just a threat to the environment. It also poses a very real threat to our mental health.Psychologists have classified th
26、ese feelings of sadness, distress, and worry about the current climate emergency as eco-anxiety. According to the Climate Psychology Alliance, eco-anxiety is defined as the “intense physical and mental discomfort in response to dangerous changes in the climate system.”Eco-anxiety doesnt just affect
27、young people. It also affects researchers who work in climate and ecological science, burdened by the reality discovered in their findings, and it affects the poor people across the globe, who hopelessly bear the harmful impacts of climate breakdown.In recent years, weve seen wildfires tear through
28、Canada and Greece, and summer floods destroy regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people. Studies have shown that those impacted by air pollution and rising temperatures are more likely to experience mental distress.The cause of this mental distress is absolutely external. Accordin
29、g to Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and rational reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion? Take eco-anxiety as a tool for good-as an emotion that can urge people to act in protection
30、of our planet.This is why, in 2024, we will also see more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and apply for jobs that seek sustainable development.

Many of us were told from an early age that, at school or in life, “you learn from your mistakes.” Is th
34、is actually true? The short answer is “yes”. 16 Because we would not like to fail, learning from our mistakes is, in reality, very hard. It doesnt feel good. So we react to failure in emotional ways, like giving up on a task easily, telling ourselves we dont care whether we succeed, or finding fault
35、 with the task itself. This is self-protective, according to Hallgeir Sjastad, a psychology professor. In his opinion, most of us want to think of ourselves as capable. 17 Fortunately there are strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers. 18 . Instead of asking “Why did I fail?”, we could
36、ask “Why did Sam fail?”, for example. Multiple studies show this way helps to soften our negative emotional reactions. Also it allows us to look at failure more objectively. 19 This led to better levels of motivation and academic success in the test groups involving both adults and children that wer
37、e asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professor Eskreis-Winkler found that the satisfaction of helping others “forces people to engage with their experience and what they have learned”. The writer Samuel Beckett once said, “fail again, fail better.” But it now seems that we should say,
38、 “fail again, fail smarter”. 20 , but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we may find the road to success is a little easier to navigate (驾驭).AEveryone needs successBHard work leads to successCFailure can be a teachable momentDFailure is an unavoidable part of lifeEOne of them
39、is to adopt a third-person viewFNext, offer advice to others in the same position as usGSo what failure causes is a serious threat to our self-image二、完形填空As a child, Id spent entire afternoons 21 new worlds in my mind and giving life to 22 in my stories I wished could be my friends.
