Considering the fast-changing world, it’s great to know the possible job options in the future. The occupations below are probably some of the most promising future careers.

Personal education guide

Compared with online programs today, education could better meet individual needs, even with improved convenience. Like an adviser, a personal education guide may assist people with on-demand course selection or the planning of personalized training.

Individualized body part maker

Doctors may expect individualized organs grown or 3D printed using their patients’ own cells. After all, scientists’ creation of hearts, kidneys, and livers has already had some success in the labs. Even external body parts including skin and ears have been grown.

Pharmaceutical artisan (制药师)

The increasing popularity of 3D printing may enable the quick production of the medicine based on individual needs. It’s possible that artisanal drugs would be created according to one’s unique genes, habits, and medical history.

Brain implant specialist

We are making greater progress in understanding how the complex human brain works, so it’s highly possible that we would create something amazing by combining the rapid advances in neuroscience (神经科学) with the advantages of computer technology. In the future, one can have a specialized computer chip put into his brain to treat certain health issues, such as diseases, mood disorders, and paralysis.

1. Who can help in a personalized course selection?

In dreaming up the programme Tennis and Literacy for Youth, as a mother, I had hoped to share two of my passions, tennis and reading, with children. Throughout the year, I had advertised for participants at local elementary schools and volunteers at local high schools. With the help of kind people, I applied for money. I was even able to secure a camp site for the programme.

But on the first day of camp, in spite of my careful planning, things did not go the way I had hoped. Hector and Adrian exchanged blows with their racquets (球拍). Hector struggled to his feet moments later, covering a bloody nose with one hand. Georgie and Eduardo threw balls at each other. Then during the reading time, I raced from joyless child to demanding child, unable to convince even one to open a book. They would rather be watching Nickelodeon at home, Mylea told me, than “learning stupid tennis and reading boring books”.

That evening, exhausted as I was, I called my volunteers together for a meeting, and redesigned the entire curriculum. We created a good fellow system, where each volunteer paired with a camper to help him or her during reading time. To emphasize praise and progress, we established weekly prize ceremonies, presenting awards for most improved reading, tennis and behavior.

In the following days, with the chaos and the schedule changes and the meetings, these children, once in bad mood during reading time, untouched books in their laps, began to find joy in reading a story and playing tennis.

One day, Mylea shut the book and asked me, “Can I take this to read it to my mom tonight?” Looking up at her eager face, I couldn’t help myself. I jumped to my feet and wrapped her in a hug, lifting her right off the ground. “It’s all yours!” I overjoyed.

4. What can we learn from paragraph 1?

A. The author was a teacher of a high school.

B. Volunteers from local schools donated a lot of money.

C. Local schools invited the author to plan a reading camp.

D. The author made good preparations for the programme.

5. Which can be used to describe the first day of the camp?

A. Successful. B. Messy. C. Smooth. D. Boring.

6. How did the author adjust the programme?

A. By replacing the books with tennis.

B. By helping and inspiring the campers.

C. By calling on the children to work hard.

D. By emphasizing the importance of reading.

7. What is the text mainly about?

A. A proposal of being volunteers.

B. An improvement of the teaching facilities.

C. A survey on how to help kids overcome difficulties.

D. An experience of introducing reading and tennis to kids.

Feeling a bit bored? It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest.

Nowadays, in the age of round-the-clock entertainment, it’s (technically) trickier to be bored. If the show you’re watching has lost its spark, you can easily amuse yourself on social media without even leaving the sofa. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. Feeling disengaged from the task in hand, or a lack of stimulation (刺激), does have its benefits, according to researchers at the University of Central Lancashire.

Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. For example, if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby. This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge (激增) in creativity among people stuck at home from banana-bread-making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood.

But what about those times when you have no choice but to stick with the boring situation, waiting for a bus, for instance? The good news is that the boredom you’re feeling now could spark your creativity later, says a 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries journal. People who’d taken part in a bean-sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas than another group who’d been given something more interesting to do first.

Ultimately, don’t take it for granted that there’ll always be something close at hand to entertain us. With boredom, we will not run the risk of becoming boring ourselves.

8. What does the author imply in paragraph 2?

A. Wondering mind can be healthy.

B. Social media can surely entertain us.

C. Being bored may be something good.

D. Being involved in the task is beneficial.

9. Why was the surge in creativity seen recently?

A. People were stimulated by boredom.

B. People were better equipped at home.

C. People had more hobbies to choose from.

D. People were more concerned about mental being.

10. What is the purpose of the bean-sorting task in the 2019 study?

A To create a boring situation. B. To reduce people’s boredom.

C. To make a funny performance. D. To show an entertainment at hand.

11. What is the best title of the passage?

A. What is the point of creativity?

B. Are we more easily bored nowadays?

C. How can we deal with daily boredom?

D. Does boredom make us more creative?

D

Mount Qomolangma, meaning “Holy Mother” in Tibetan, is the world’s highest mountain above sea level. No wonder most people consider climbing to its top as one of their biggest achievements. More than 4, 000 climbers, ranging from 13 to 80 years old, have managed to reach the top. Three people from the Sherpa community hold the current record at 21 times each!

You may be surprised at these numbers but that’s just the start of it. Last year, cleanup crews collected as much as 8. 4 tons of garbage from Mount Qomolangma’s North Base Camp in Tibet at 5,150 meters. And in the regions below that level, more than 335 tons of waste was collected. What a sad fact it is that the highest mountain in the world is turning into the highest mountain of trash!

To reverse the trend, the Chinese government recently announced that it had closed the North Base Camp to tourists. From now on, ordinary tourists will only be able to travel as far as Rongbuk Monastery, about 5, 000 meters above sea level. No more than 300 climbers with special permits will be allowed to climb Qomolangma each year. They are supposed to follow stricter rules, including carrying all their waste out with them and only climbing in spring.

Despite these tough measures, it is clear that tourism has caused enormous damage to the natural environment. Mount Qomolangma is not alone. Some popular parks around the world are also struggling to preserve their environments and keep up with increased tourism. Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. has long been troubled by the overflowing trash piles. Joshua Tree National Park suffered a wave of vandalism (破坏), with graffiti sprayed on rocks and ancient trees destroyed. In order to protect the environment, the National Park Service had no choice but to close the park temporarily.

As we can see, the natural environment can be destroyed by human activities in less than five minutes, but it might take hundreds of years to recover. Now it’s time for ordinary tourists to leave “Holy Mother” alone and wait for her to restore her beauty.

12. Why are the figures listed about Qomolangma in paragraph 2?

A. To describe it is extremely vast and high.

B. To show it is difficult to collect trash there.

C. To indicate it is a popular tourist attraction.

D. To illustrate it is suffering serious pollution.

13. What does the underlined word “reverse” mean in paragraph 3?

A. Fit with. B. Follow up. C. Turn around. D. Speed up.

14. What is the author likely to support to protect Qomolangma?

A. Developing its tourism. B. Reducing human activities.

C. Forbidding any entry in spring. D. Building more base camps.

15. Which section of a newspaper might this article come from?

A. Environment. B. Society. C. Tourism. D. Education.

Having good conversations— with strangers or your friends— is an art. ____16____ Headlee, a podcast host, did a TED Talk about how to make a good conversation. Here’s her advice.

Be present.

People think it means not looking at your email or texting during the conversation. It also means giving people your entire attention, ignoring anything unconnected. There is another thing. ____17____ Let’s think of listening like a river. We dam it up all the time when we stop listening to think about what we’re going to say next. Once that happens, you need to let such thoughts go out of your mind and return to the conversation.

Talk small to get to weightier topics.

Anything is OK. ____18____ “It is pleasurable to answer questions about yourself. So small talk is a way to let people do that,” Headlee explains. Remember Yes-or-No questions don’t lead the conversation far. For example, rather than asking, “Are you sitting down?” You might try, “What kind of chair would you like to sit in?”

____19____

If you’re getting too many details, it can be easy to lose focus on the big picture. Nobody cares about the exact date or somebody’s name or the movie you watched.

Handle an awkward silence.

You have two options. One is to let it breathe. People say all sorts of things to fill a gap in the conversation— that can lead you down a new conversation. You can also address the awkward silence. “Admit it with a joke,” Headlee says. ____20____

A. Stay out of the weeds.

B. Mind your manners in a talk.

C. Go with the flow of the conversation.

D. You can’t pretend like it’s not happening.

E. Generally speaking, open-ended questions are preferred.

F. It requires attention, something that’s in high demand these days.

G. Ask people to talk about themselves and you’re already off to a good start.

Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful redhead. Steve admired her actually. Yet, he never did his homework, and he was always in trouble with Miss White. Oddly, Steve never missed a day of school.

One day, Miss White’s impatient voice broke into his daydreams. “Steve!!” Frightened, he turned to look at her. “Pay attention! You all did pretty well,” she told the class, “except for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this… The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!”

After that, it was war! Steve still wouldn’t do his homework. Even as the punishments became more severe, he remained stubborn.

“Just try it! ONE WEEK!” He was unmoved.

“You’re smart enough! You’ll see a change!” Nothing happened.

“Give yourself a chance! Don’t give up on your life!” Nothing.

“Steve! Please! I really care about you!” Wow! Suddenly Steve got it!! Someone cared about him? Someone, totally unreachable and perfect, CARED ABOUT HIM??!!
