Everyne tries their best in life, and smetimes a few kind wrds f encuragement can help peple realize that their effrts are nt in vain (徒劳).Ⅰ remember a time when I was in fifth grade, and I was a very shy girl.
There was a drawing cmpetitin at my schl that day. As everyne started t use their creative ideas t draw, I was nly trying t think f smething creative that culd express my thughts and emtins. Lst in my wn wrld, I was brught back t reality when my art teacher called my name frm behind. She came t me and encuraged me, saying, “Dn’t verthink it, just put whatever cmes t yur mind n the canvas (画布). D yur best, and yu will d well.”
Taking her wrds f wisdm t heart, I started my painting. Time flew by, and sn the bell rang, signaling the end f the time limit. We all turned in ur canvases fr inspectin (检查). The next day, the winners f the cmpetitin were annunced in frnt f the whle schl. T my surprise, I heard my name being called secnd prize. It was a blt frm the blue fr me, as I had never dared t dream f winning any prize.
Later n, I expressed my gratitude t my art teacher fr her wrds f encuragement and fr believing in me. That day, I became aware f my talent and started painting mre whenever I had free time. Smetimes, I think that if it weren’t fr her wrds f encuragement, I may have never discvered the talent I have.
Overall, this experience taught me the imprtance f encuraging thers and hw a few kind wrds can make a significant impact n smene’s life.

Australian scientists have started vaccinating (接种疫苗) wild kalas against the disease Chlamydia (衣原体病) in an ambitius trial in New Suth Wales (NSW). They want t test a way t prtect the animals against the widespread cnditin that causes blindness, the inability t have babies, and death.
“It’s killing kalas because they becme s sick that they can’t climb trees t get fd, and females are unable t have babies,” said Dr. Samuel Phillips, a micrbilgist at the University f the Sunshine Cast.
Arund half f the wild kala ppulatin in the Nrthern Rivers regin f NSW—abut 50 animals—will be caught and vaccinated. “We want t evaluate what percentage f the kalas we need t vaccinate t meaningfully reduce infectin and disease,”said Dr. Phillips.
The first kalas were caught and vaccinated in March and the effrt is expected t last abut three mnths. Researchers use telescpes t spt kalas in the trees, then build fences arund the tree bases with drs leading int cages. After a few hurs r days, the kalas climb dwn frm ne tree t seek tasty leaves n anther and wander int the harmless traps.
After a cheek-up t make sure the animals are in gd cnditin, researchers give them anaesthesia (麻醉) t make them sleep befre they administer the vaccine. They watch the kalas’health fr 24 hurs after they wake up t make sure there are n side effects. The gal is t vaccinate healthy kalas t prevent them frm becming infected with chlamydia. The researchers mark the kalas’backs with pink dye s the same animals aren’t caught twice.
It is nt knwn what caused kalas t catch chlamydia, but the scientists believe it was prbably frm expsure t the infected sheep and cattle. It spreads when kalas mate, r it can be passed frm a mther t her babies.
8. Why was the ambitius trial started?
A. T establish a wildlife reserve.B. T attract the turists f all ages.
C. T test a newly develped vaccine.D. T reduce infectin amng kalas.
9. What is Dr. Phillips’attitude twards the current cnditin f kalas?
A. Uncaring.B. Dubtful.C. Cncerned.D. Cautius.
10. Which can best describe the prcess f giving kalas an vaccine?
A. Dangerus.B. Demanding.C. Simple.D. Useless.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Why kalas suffer frm the disease.B. Hw researchers recgnize kalas.
C. What a kala family largely feeds n.D. When a female kala can have a baby.

D yu remember all thse years when scientists argued that smking wuld kill us but the dubters insisted that we didn’t knw fr sure? That the evidence was nt enugh, the science uncertain? They even thught that the anti-smking grup was ut t destry ur way f life and the gvernment shuld stay ut f the way. Lts f Americans believed that nnsense, and ver three decades, sme 10 millin smkers went t early graves.
There are upsetting similarities tday, as scientists in ne wave after anther try t awaken us t the grwing threat f glbal warming. The latest was an expert grup frm the Natinal Academy f Sciences, enlisted by the White Huse, t tell us that the Earth’s atmsphere is definitely warming and that the prblem is largely man-made. The clear message is that we shuld get mving t prtect urselves. The president f the Natinal Academy, Bruce Alberts, added this key pint in the intrductin t the panel’s reprt: “Science never has all the answers. But science des prvide us with the best available guide t the future, and it is critical that ur natin and the wrld base imprtant plicies n the best judgments that science can prvide cncerning the future cnsequences f present actins.”
Just as n smking, vices nw cme frm many quarters insisting that the science abut glbal warming is incmplete, that it’s OK t keep puring smke int the air until we knw fr sure. This is a dangerus game: by the time 100 percent f the evidence is in, it may be t late. With the risks bvius and grwing, a careful peple wuld take ut an insurance plicy nw.
Frtunately, the White Huse is starting t pay attentin. But it’s bvius that a majrity f the president’s advisers still dn’t take glbal warming seriusly. Instead f a plan f actin, they cntinue t ask fr mre research-a classic case f “paralysis by analysis”.
T serve as respnsible keepers f the planet, we must press frward n deeper atmspheric and ceanic research. But research alne is inadequate. If the Administratin wn’t take the legislative (立法的) actin, Cngress shuld help t begin taking cnservatin measures. A bill by Demcratic Senatr Rbert Byrd f West Virginia, which wuld ffer financial awards fr private industry, is a prmising start. Many see that the cuntry is getting ready t build lts f new pwer plants t meet ur energy needs. If we are ever ging t prtect the atmsphere, it is crucial that thse new plants be envirnmentally friendly.
12. What statement did the supprters f smking agree t?
A. Smking led t death.
B. Peple had the freedm t chse their wn way f life.
C. The number f early deaths f smkers in the past decades was small.
D. Anti-smking peple were usually talking nnsense.
13. Accrding t Bruce Alberts, science can be ________.
A. a guideB. a judgeC. a criticD. a prtectr
14. Accrding t the authr, what shuld the Administratin d abut glbal warming?
A. Offer aid t build cleaner pwer plants.
B. Take sme legislative measures.
C. Press fr further scientific research.
D. Raise public awareness f cnservatin.
15. Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. The influence f smking.
B. The measures f prhibiting smking.
C. The glbal warming and smking.
D. The benefits f prtecting ur envirnment.
