The pwer f “seeing”
A spn-billed sandpiper (勺嘴鹬) steps int the frame, heading straight fr a small bug placed there. It swallws its fd with its spn-shaped beak.
The perfrmance is fr Jel Sartre, funder f Pht Ark, a persnal effrt t dcument animals arund the wrld.
The critically endangered bird, f which there are fewer than 1,000 individuals in the wild, is the 13,000th species Sartre has phtgraphed in 16 years. His gal is 20,000.
Befre he started Pht Ark, Sartre spent mre than a decade wrking as a phtgrapher fr Natinal Gegraphic, mainly cvering cnservatin stries in the field. He had seen wildlife decreasing firsthand, but felt like the public wasn’t interested.
Sartre thught f a new way t inspire peple. He picked up his camera and set abut taking shts f wildlife-but rather than recrding animals in the wild, he wanted t phtgraph them utside their natural habitat. He visited zs, aquariums and rehabilitatin (康复) centers and phtgraphed prtraits f individual animals against a white r black backdrp (背景幕).
“This allws yu t lk them in the eye and see that there’s great beauty there and that they are wrth saving,” he said. “We are primates and we respnd t eye cntact abve all else.”
The respnse has indeed been huge. Sartre has mre than 1.6 millin fllwers n Instagram and a best-selling series f Pht Ark bks. Part f the prceeds (收益) frm his bks ges t fund n-the-grund cnservatin effrts.
Gary Ward wh wrks at Lndn Z where Sartre has sht befre, said, “Seeing is the first step t caring, and caring is the first step t cnservatin actin.”
By chsing animals utside their natural habitat, Sartre admits he will nly shw a small part f the wrld’s wildlife. Accrding t the Internatinal Unin fr Cnservatin f Nature, there are mre than 2 millin described species n the planet, and he plans t phtgraph just 1% f them. But ding s allws him t sptlight species that are already extinct in the wild, and thse that wuld be difficult t take prtraits f in their natural habitat. It als enables him t sht in a cntrlled envirnment, meaning the animal can be kept safe and cmfrtable, with zkeepers r carers n hand t advise n its behavir.
4. What is Sartre ding at the beginning f the text?
A. He is feeding a bird.B. He is training a bird.
C. He is phtgraphing a bird.D. He is studying a bird’s behavir.
5. What des Sartre aim t d with his Pht Ark?
A. Make a recrd f cnservatin stries.
B. Braden his experience in saving animals.
C. Gather infrmatin n endangered species.
D. Raise peple’s awareness f prtecting wildlife.
6. What is Gary Ward’s attitude twards Sartre’s wrk?
A. Unclear.B. Apprving.C. Dubtful.D. Objective.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Why Sartre fcuses n animals in human care.
B. Why Sartre can’t cver all animals in the wrld.
C. The benefits f wrking with zkeepers r carers.
D. The difficulties f phtgraphing animals in the wild.

When I was five, I nce peeled ff the paper that envelped my crayns and snapped them in tw. My great enthusiasm was dampened t find just mre crayn inside. When I started writing wrds with pencils, I wuld twist them inside a sharpener t see if the pencil lead went all the way thrugh the bdy. Grwing up, I saw my televisin taken apart t reveal the inner wrkings that nly made sense when I did a degree in physics.
Then I landed a career in engineering, spending six years as part f the team that designed the Shard, a famus building in Lndn. Actually, whether I knew it r nt, I was already n a missin t understand hw things are frmed.
After explring the big, I decided t turn t the small. I realized whatever matter frms human-made bjects, cmplex devices are made up f fundamental building blcks, withut which ur cmplex machinery wuldn’t exist.
It is this idea that inspired my bk where I select what I believe are seven cre elements that frm the basis f the wrld-the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string. Tgether they cmpse a vast range f innvatins in terms f their underlying (潜在) scientific principles and the fields f engineering they tuch. They’ve changed ur technlgy, and had a sweeping impact n ur histry, arts, culture, cmmunicatin, plitical and pwer structures, etc.
The blender we use t make baby’s fd relies n gears (齿轮), which culdn’t exist withut the wheel. The speaker n the phne relies n a magnet. Even when we think f larger and mre cmplex bjects-diggers, skyscrapers, satellites-we cme back t the same seven fundatinal innvatins.
S, lk arund yu, and ask questins abut what yu see: reignite(重燃) that childhd curisity. Hpefully, that will inspire yu t investigate and lead yu t a better understanding f the building blcks f ur wrld.
8. Why des the authr mentin crayns in paragraph 1?
A. T explain his chice f cllege majr.
B. T demnstrate his fascinatin with tls.
C. T highlight his disappintment at the discvery.
D. T shw his early passin fr the insides f bjects.
9. What made the authr’s bk pssible?
A. His experience in designing buildings.
B. His understanding f the rigin f things.
C. His finding f the cmpnents f machinery.
D. His perspective n the peratin f the wrld.
10. What d we knw abut the seven cre elements?
A. They thrw light n scientific principles.
B. They have a prfund influence n sciety.
C. They mark an era f technlgical innvatin.
D. They represent the advancement in engineering.
11. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Small Things That CuntB. Big Dreams That Reward
C. Ask the Right QuestinsD. Understand Cre Elements
D
It is a self-evident fact that music study bsts yur artistic ability, but have yu thught f that yur academic perfrmance is actually hugely benefited? Music study has been linked t academic achievements in many studies and serius music training is reprted t be assciated with success in many ther fields. I hpe yu wuld nt be t surprised t hear that many utstanding prfessinals in industries frm tech t finance t media are fund t be amateur musicians and playing music as their regular past-times.
The phenmenn extends beynd the widely-knwn math-music assciatin. Strikingly, many high achievers tld me music pened up the pathways t creative thinking. And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens ther qualities: Cllectin-the ability t listen, a way f thinking that jins tgether separate ideas, and the pwer t fcus n the present and the future at the same time.
It is in this cntext that the cnnectin between math and music grabs the mst attentin. Bth are at heart mdes f expressin. Bruce Kvner the funder f the hedge fund (对冲基金) Caxtn Assciates, says he sees similarities between his pian playing and investing strategy; as he says, bth “relate t pattern cgnitin, and sme peple extend these patterns acrss different senses”.
Fr Rger McNamee, whse Elevatin Partners is perhaps best knwn fr its early investment in Facebk, “music and technlgy have met and befriended,” he says. He became expert n Facebk by using it t prmte his band, Mnalice, and nw is fcusing n vide by live-streaming its cncerts. He says musicians and tp prfessinals share “the almst desperate need t dive deep”. This capacity f getting int smething in a real way seems t unite tp perfrmers in music and ther fields.
“I’ve always believed the reasn I’ve gtten ahead is by utwrking ther peple,” he says. It’s a skill learned by “playing that sl ne mre time, wrking n that ne little sectin ne mre time,” and it translates int “wrking n smething ver and ver again, r duble-checking r triple-checking.” He adds, “there is nthing like music t teach yu that eventually if yu wrk hard enugh, it des get better. Yu see the results.” That’s an bservatin wrth remembering at a time when music as a serius pursuit is in decline in this cuntry.
12. Based n the passage, music training can enhance all f the fllwing abilities EXCEPT
A. handling the present with a lng-range visinB. thinking frm ther peple’s perspective
C. listening t different pinins patientlyD. identifying cnnectin between different ideas
13. Which f the fllwing is cnsidered bearing similarities with music?
A. Hedge fund.B. Patterns.C. Different senses.D. Mathematics.
14. What des Rger McNamee mean by saying “music and technlgy have met and befriended”?
A. Musical techniques are directly used in managing business.
B. Advanced technlgy makes sund better than befre.
C. Facebk has becme a platfrm fr prmting music albums.
D. Technlgy has increased the channels by which music is prmted.
15. What des the underlined wrd “bservatin” in the last paragraph refer t?
A. The claim that music is the key t success.
B. The belief that results determine the value f music.
C. The idea that hard wrk keeps getting yu ahead.
D. The prpsal that ne shuld pursue music seriusly.

I knew I wuld have a beynd-busy summer, I wuld be a junir teacher fr the Little Dragns Karate(空手道) Camp. And I had t d summer swim team. And Ollie and I already had tw custmers fr ur dg-walking business,
“Yu might be biting ff mre than yu can chew,” my mm said with a warning glimpse when I talked t her abut it and annunced, “I want t d everything!”
“Dn't wrry.” I grinned, “I have strng teeth!”
My mm smiled back. “In this case, it's yur rganizatinal skills, nt yur teeth, that need t be strng.” I didn't take it t my heart.
And the first week really was n prblem. My friend Ollie was ut f twn and karate camp hadn't started, s my swim stuff was all I needed t wrry abut. The next week was great t. I swam, and a Little Dragn at karate camp tld me I was his favrite teacher ever!
I did learn, thugh, that staying rganized with tw activities was harder. My backpack was already stuffed with a twel and swim things, s I needed anther fr my karate clthing. Riding my bike frm karate camp t the pl with tw backpacks was a challenge. But I still had it under cntrl until Ollie gt back.
“We’re late getting ur business tgether!” he said. “We’ll have t spend every spare minute preparing.”
“But I dn't have any spare minutes!” I said.

But I was wrng! It didn't take lng fr my dg-walking stuff and karate stuff and swim stuff t get all mixed up, frgtten, r lst.
