Helping Teens Find Their Dreams
High school freshmen always have a lot of questions on their minds. “What can I do when I grow up?” is one of them. I t’s definitely not too early to start thinking about this tough question. The following tips may help equip you for your future career.
●Think beyond grades
Getting good grades in high school is important, but focusing only on straight A’s could go wrong. Spending too much time on your schoolwork will leave you little time to explore opportunities outside of the classroom. Extracurricular (课外的) activities are necessary because they serve as a form of career exploration. They can help you figure out your work preferences, like whether you a re a “people person (擅长交际的人)” or prefer to work alone. Nowadays, most well-known colleges care about candidates’ experiences as much as their grades.
●Seek advice from grown-ups
Talk to your parents, teachers and school counselors (顾问) about how they started their careers. Even though you’re not interested in the careers the y are in, it would be useful to learn about the process which got them where they are now. If you find your friend’s mother doing a worthwhile job by chance, ask her if job shadowing (体验工作) is possible in her company during vacation. After all, seeing a typical day in the position you have an interest in can be an invaluable experience.
●Start your search online
If you really have no idea what you can do when you grow up, take online career quizzes to get ideas about what professions naturally match your skills, interests and personality traits (特点). For the time being, you just need to focus on finding a field or two that interests you, rather than a specific career. Chances are you’ll change
your mind several times before finding a career that you want to stick to. Starting to explore career options now can at least help you decide what your potential major might be.
55.Spending some time taking part in after-school activities can help high school students __________.
A. get A’s in all subjects
B. explore their work preferences
C. have access to prestigious universities
D. get along with their classmates
56.Grown-ups may help high school students by __________.
A. starting a business with them
B. teaching them occupational skills
C. sharing their career paths with them
D. providing an opportunity for job shadowing
57.It is suggested that high school students find out their __________ from online career quizzes.
A. possible professions
B. main disadvantages
C. specific occupations
D. ideal majors
58.This article was probably written by a __________.
A. college professor
B. school counselor
C. advertising manager
D. computer programmer

Riding Green!
Shanghai is a city on wheels. Bicycles, scooters (小型摩托车), motorcycles, cars and buses are everywhere. In the old days, our streets were flooded with people riding bicycles to and from shops, work and school, but times have changed. People are wealthier. Many families now own a private car or two. Even commuting students can hail (拦招) a cab or hire a private driver to get them to school. This sounds great, but one ride in rush hour Shanghai traffic reveals the downside to this modern “convenience.”Bumper-to-bumper traffic is the norm. Furthermore, one glance up at our hazy skies reminds us of the environmental cost of all these motorized vehicles.
Many Shanghai citizens are realizing that some of their old habits are worth hanging on to, so people are reaching for their bicycles again rather than their car keys. A new service launched by Beijing Mobike Technology is helping us do that. You’ve probably seen Mobike’s bicycles around the city, as they are easy to spot with their bright orange wheels. The app-enabled program allows users to find bikes available in their area through the use of GPS trackers installed on the bikes. They can be found and returned anywhere a roadside parking area exists. This is far more convenient than other services, which require bikes to be left only in special stalls.
Mobike’s Wang Xiaofeng explained that the idea for the service was born out of concerns about “traffic congestion ... and the pollution emitted from vehicles.” The app even tells you the carbon emission s prevented and how many calories you burned—a reminder that it’s healthy for you and the environment. These reasons should motivate all of us to consider “greener” options when commuting.
Shanghai has a distinct advantage compared to many cities around the world. Namely, Shanghai has a good attitude toward riding a bi cycle. It is seen as a convenient means of transportation. In Canadian cities where I’ve lived, the attitude is sometimes quite different. Many people see cycling as simply exercise or a child’s activity.
This World Car Free Day on September 22, please strap on (系上) a helmet (头盔) and ride your bicycle to school. Let’s show Shanghai and the world how great it is to be green (even if your wheels are orange)!
59.According to the article, one ride in rush hour Shanghai traffic can reveal that ____.
A. many families have been able to own a private car
B. owning a car does not always bring us convenience
C. the increasing popularity of driving has had an impact on the environment
D. commuters from all walks of life go to work through different ways
60.According to the article, why is Mobike more convenient than other services?
A. Because the bikes are easy to spot with their orange wheels.
B. Because the bikes can be found everywhere around the city.
C. Because the bikes are all equipped with GPS trackers.
D. Because the bikes can be left in any roadside parking area.
61. We can tell from the article that as a Canadian, the author holds a ____ attitude toward cycling.
A. positive
B. negative
C. mixed
D. neutral

A School That Can Educate Us All
Christos Porios, 16, lives in a small Greek city. “My mother’s a teacher and my father’s a mechanic,” he explains, adding that neither is knowledgeable about computers—especially compared with him. Over the past few years, he has been teaching himself programming.
Porios was taking a free class in machine learning offered by Andrew Ng, a professor at Stanford University, over an online platform Ng developed with his colleagues. Drawing on what he learned, Porios was able to participate in the International Space Apps Challenge (国际太空应用挑战赛), a hackathon (编程马拉松) using data from NASA.
If one teenager in one small city can become a genius hacker through an online course, does it mean the world has changed? We have been hearing about the potential of online education for decades. Finally, it has taken a giant leap forward. A number of online education platforms have appeared, featuring professors from top universities offering free courses.
Ng’s course in machine learning attracted 104,000 students around the world. Ng was amazed. “It would take me 250 years to teach [so] many people at Stanford,”he says. As a result, just one month into the course, Ng decided to leave his faculty post (教职) and dive into online teaching full-time. In 2014, he and his colleague Daphne Koller launched their company, Coursera. So far, they have teamed up with 35 universities in nine countries.
To Ng and Koller, Coursera’s mission is simple and yet grand: to teach millions of people around the world for free, while transforming higher education.
According to Ng, the world’s top 20 universities enroll only about 200,000 undergraduates. There are millions more who could participate in classwork at the highest level, but most of them are far from any of the leading universities.
Yet the most exciting promise of Coursera and the like is the role they might play in improving education for the world’s have-nots (穷人).
Koller says Coursera’s total registration has hit 15 million. Porios, the young Greek, is only one of those registrants. His hope is to study in Germany or England someday. He is even toying with the idea of taking classes at MIT (麻省理工学院) or Stanford—but this time in person.
62. Ng decided to leave his faculty post at Stanford because ____.
A. he was unsatisfied with Stanford’s management
B. he realized the great potential of online education
C. he was hired by another prestigious university
D. he found he could earn more through teaching online
63. According to Ng and Koller, Coursera’s mission is to _____
①raise funds for the world’s have-nots
②transform how universities give lessons
③integrate all of the world’s top universities
④educate millions of people for free
A. ①②
B. ③④
C. ①③
D. ②④
64. Which of the following statements about Porios can we infer from the article?
①Porios was born into a wealthy family.
②Porios started using Coursera about two years ago.
③Porios has been admitted into Stanford University.
④Porios has never met Andrew Ng in person.
A. ①②
B. ③④
C. ①③
D. ②④

Interpreted Theatres
Deaf people should enjoy a play as much as the hearing audience. 65 Theatre producers, on the other hand, are beginning to realise that theatre interpretation makes their product attractive to a wider audience—with considerable financial rewards.
The most important technical aspect of theatre interpretation for the deaf is the location of the interpreter. Placement strategies can be categorized into three styles: “placed”, “zoned”, and finally, “shadowed”.
The “placed” style of interpretation, wh ere interpreters are located outside the acting space and do not move, is by far the most common. The interpreters are side-by-side and face the audience. The location of the interpreter is generally in one of three places: stage right or stage left, or on the floor of the house.
The “zoned” style of interpreter placement is a happy medium between the “placed” and “shadowed” styles.
66 Usually, they change position on stage from scene to scene—or from act to act—in order to be within the same “zone” as the majority of the action. Zone placement makes it easier for the deaf audience to see the interpreters and actors at the same time.
67 It involves placing the interpreters directly within the action—nearly making them “sign language acto rs”. The interpreters are “blocked” into each scene, and shadow the actors. The advantage of this is clear: the interpreter is so close to the actor that the deaf audience need not make a decision about whom to watch—he or she can watch both at the same time. In the best of cases, the deaf audience mentally mix the interpreter with the actor, and forget that the actor does not sign.
Theatre interpreters for the deaf are dedicated professionals who take great pride in their work. “Theatre”, says Ian, who works for SeeTheatre, a Chicago-based association for interpreters, “is the art of communicating beautiful ideas in interesting ways. 68 Thankfully, instead of seeing us as ‘additions’, producers nowadays think of interpreters for the deaf as a ne w avenue to creativity.”

When the two tiny ducklings were caught by the sharp jaws of a larger German shepherd dog, they must have thought their time on earth was up.
But as luck would have it for the frightened wild ducklings that had lost their mother, the dog that helped them out of the bushes had only their best interests at heart.
Duke, a one-year-old German shepherd dog, found the two ducklings hidden in long grass next to his owner’s workplace on the edge of the Thronybank Industrial Estate in Dalkeith.
And despite the natural instincts of a hunter, the dog gently took them in its mouth and carried them back to his blanket, putting them down where it was warm and even washing them clean with his tongue.
The ducklings will be looked after by staff at the center until they are old enough to be released into the wild.
“This dog is a modern day Rin Tin Tin, (The world’s most famous German shepherd dog) and to pick them up in his mouth without harming them is quite something. “To them try and wash them is just amazing behavior.” said。
