When Ryad Alsus arrived in England, he knew ne thing: he wanted t keep bees. The insects had been a majr part f his life in Syria, and fleeing his war-trn hmeland, it was a precius certainty amid s much chas.
As a lecturer at the University f Damascus, Ryad had built a respected reputatin fr his research n Syrian bees. With ver 500 hives, he prduced ver ten tns f hney every year. Fleeing his cuntry in 2013, he lst everything.
Yet even with all his knwledge and experience, Ryad didn’t knw if his dream wuld be pssible in the UK. “I fund that there is a lt f rain and the temperature isn’t very high. All the time I was thinking, Hw can I set up anther prject here?”
The wet weather wasn’t Ryad’s nly challenge. The language barrier and a vastly verqualified CV made it difficult t find wrk. Eventually, Ryad vlunteered at the Huddersfield Beekeepers’ Assciatin, but he was still withut a clny f his wn. Finally, Facebk brught him int cntact with a wman in Manchester wh was willing t dnate an entire clny f rare British black bees.
“In ne year, I was able t split the clny she gave me int seven. I realised that the beekeeping prject culd becme very prfitable and successful in the UK.”
Sn, Ryad fund himself with 17 hives, but he wasn’t finished yet. His inner teacher was itching t get ut. Thrugh City f Sanctuary, a British refugee charity, Ryad began t run beekeeping wrkshps fr refugees and jb seekers. The Buzz Prject was brn.
Tday, the Buzz Prject huses 14 hives, where Ryad shares his expertise. It has started t bear fruit. Last year, they prduced half a tn f hney (arund 1, 000 jars). But fr Ryad, the mst imprtant thing is bringing peple tgether.
“We have lcal peple, jbseekers and vlunteers, in additin t refugees. All f them wrk tgether ding the same jb. The exchange between the grups, the infrmatin and skills, helps them integrate very well and imprve their language skills,” he says.

25. Which factr psed a challenge t Ryad at first?

Research has shwn that disrupting ne’s natural “mrning lark” r “night wl” tendency can result in immral behavir at wrk.
Wh desn’t lve a flexible wrk schedule? Being able t make yur wn hurs, cme in when yu’re ready and leave when yu’re dne, step ut t attend a child’s presentatin at schl, have a midday appintment, r even squeeze in a quick wrkut r nap as a guaranteed pick-me-up — flexibility greatly imprves ne’s quality f life.
The benefits dn’t stp there, hwever. Research has shwn that having flexible wrk hurs actually makes ne a better persn. Hw s? It’s been fund that disrupted sleep patterns—in the frm f having t act utside f nrmal inclinatin t be a mrning “lark” r a night “wl”—can result in strange, unethical, and ut-f-line behavir.
Science jurnalist Linda Geddes said, “If yu dn’t get enugh sleep, research suggests yu are mre likely t have unethical behavir, such as being mean, bullying yur fellw emplyees r falsifying receipts. But it’s nt just wls: the larks tend t behave mre unethically in the evening, and wls in the mrning. S ideally, yu want t intrduce flexible wrking.”
Emplyers wuld be wise t allw their emplyees t start whenever they feel ready—whether it’s at the crack f dawn r at 11 a. m. , and t allw breaks r pauses in the day as needed—because that wuld mean better prductivity, perfrmance, and behavir.
This shift is already happening with the New Yrk Times recently reprting that 27 percent f US emplyers nw ffer the flexibility t wrk utside nrmal business hurs, up frm 22 percent in 2014; and 68 percent allw telecmmuting as needed (up frm 54 percent in 2014). With the natinal unemplyment rate at its lwest in 50 years, emplyers are having t becme mre cmpetitive in what they ffer wrkers, and flex-hurs seem like a n-brainer, highly beneficial t all.
28. What is mainly talked abut in Paragraph 2?
A. Ways t imprve life quality. B. Peple’s activities in their free time.
C. Methds t get a flexible wrk schedule. D. The advantages f flexibility in wrk time.
29. What des the underlined wrd “inclinatin” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Judgment. B. Tendency. C. Reactin. D. Chice.
30. What is the effect t change peple’s sleep pattern accrding t Geddes?
A. They will shw their nature mre easily. B. They tend t suffer frm sleep prblems.
C. They tend t behave immrally in their wrk. D. They will get mre flexibility in wrking time.
31. What d the figures in the last paragraph indicate?
A. The unemplyment rate is increasing. B. Emplyers are getting mre free time.
C. Flexible wrking has been creating mre jbs. D. Mre emplyers adpt a flexible wrk schedule.
D
The US Institute f Electrical and Electrnics Engineers (IEEE) recently asked scientists, lawyers, scial scientists and ther experts t cnsider sme f these ethical dimensins. T give tw examples: n privacy, as we let mre listening devices int ur hmes, hw d we prevent the data they cllect falling int the wrng hands thrugh hacking (黑客) r simply being sld between cmpanies withut us receiving any mney? Anther example: mixed reality, including virtual reality, will becme pervasive in the next few years. As we mve frm headsets t what the IEEE cmmittee describes as "mre subtle and integrated sensry enhancements" we will use technlgy t live in an illusry wrld in many aspects f ur lives. Hw d we balance the rights f the individual, cntrl ver ur virtual identity, and the need t live and interact n a face-t-face basis while being empwered t live rich lives in mixed reality?
There is, f curse, always a tensin between innvatin and regulatin. But it can ften seem that giant steps are taken in technlgy with minimal public discussin. Take the self-driving car: althugh it may be safer than human drivers and is likely t save mre than a millin lives a year wrldwide, it will als take jbs frm drivers, traffic plice, sign-makers, car-repair cmpanies, carmakers and mre. Is this a bargain we want t make? In taking that decisin, have we given thught t a car that knws everywhere we g, decides rutes, perhaps, based n paid advertisements frm shps alng the way—and listens and sees everything we d n bard? What will happen t that data and can it be kept safe?
Additinally, while sme wrry abut the uncmmn "trlley prblem" f whm the car shuld chse t hit in a freak accident—an ld lady r a mther and baby—perhaps the mre frequent issue will be hw we find ut what the algrithm (算法) was thinking at the time f an accident, because AIs (Artificial Intelligence) are self-learning and devise their wn strategies.
Similar cncerns are emerging ver the internet f things. Rbt vacuum-cleaners already plt cleaning cycles using cmputer-aided visin that, fr sme mdels, is relayed t their manufacturers. As mre things at hme becme cnnected, they will be hackable and the data they cllect sellable.
It’s time fr sme messy, demcratic discussins abut the future f AI.
32. What is the purpse f the tw examples in Paragraph 1?
A. T cast sme light n hacking in ur mdern life.
B. T lead the reader t think f ethical issues brught by hi-tech.
C. T lead in the fllwing example cncerning the self-driving car.
D. T list the existing prblems that caught the attentin f experts.
33. What des the underlined wrd “pervasive” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Intelligent. B. Pwerful. C. Widespread. D. Skillful.
34. What is the authr’s attitude twards the big steps in technlgy?
A. Psitive. B. Negative. C. Cautius. D. Unclear.
35. Hw des the authr supprt his claim?
A. By expsing sme underlying prblems in high-tech.
B. By calling n peple t mve away frm innvatin.
C. By illustrating AI’s abilities in self-learning strategies.
D. By displaying ur cmputer-aided life in future.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is yur key r phne missing a dzen times a day, r can’t yu find the TV remte until ten minutes after a favrite shw has begun? Such faults might be accmpanied by a nagging fear: Is smething wrng with me? Prbably nt. 36 But fr the mst part, peple can vercme the tendency t misplace things. Here is sme advice.
When yu put smething dwn, say its lcatin. 37 Yu’d say, “I’m setting my muse t the right f my cmputer.” And saying that, either in yur mind r ut lud, fcuses yur attentin n where yu put it, upping the chances that yu’ll remember its lcatin later.
Make up a sng r rhyme. 38 Yu culd make up a rhyme, r sub in yur wn lyrics t a catchy sng. ‘Head, Shulders, Knees and Tes,’ and be sung int “My remte is sitting by the lamp. By the lamp.”
Take pictures. Ever wander arund the parking lt because yu can’t find yur car? Take a picture f yur parking spt. The same advice applies t lts f things: Phtgraph all thse spts where yu stre easy-t-lse bjects. When yu can’t find them, pull up the pht.
39 That might mean placing a basket by yur frnt dr where yu drp yur keys and wallet immediately upn entering yur hme, r labelling ne drawer as the scissrs drawer. Then, at the end f the day, “scan the areas where yu’ve been, find the items that need t be taken back hme, and return them t their spts.
Be kind t yurself. It’s certainly understandable if yu’re frustrated with yur tendency t misplace things. But if yu keep beating yurself up abut and start t think that there’s smething wrng with yu, and yu get anxius abut that. When yur thughts spiral in such a manner, yu’re even less likely t be able t fcus and keep track f yur pssessins. 40
A. Set up a rutine.
B. Make yur belngings stand ut.
C. S, remember t give yurself a break.
D. It’s a cmmn ccurrence and certainly annying.
E. There are many gadgets designed t keep track f items.
F. Turn keeping track f yur items int an pprtunity t be creative.
G. One way t be mre mindful f where yur things are is t verbalize where yu put them.

As I began t wade thrugh thirteen pages f the credit-card cmpany’s new plicy, I wasn’t sure hw it was ging t affect me persnally. As I waited t be cnnected t a custmer service rep, I cnsidered whether I shuld even write the fifth nvel in my Old Cape Huse series. Did my readers really enjy the mysterius histrical stries I tld? Shuld I take n mre debt t buy my paperback bks? I thught abut all the authr events, bk signings, and bk fairs that might be canceled because f the virus. When wuld nrmal life return?
“Hell, Ms. Struna, this is Thmas. May I have yur accunt infrmatin?”
After repeating the infrmatin he needed, I explained my dilemma in trying t understand the new plicy and asked hw it wuld affect my future purchases.
“Please, d nt wrry. Yu will have n change.”
“Are yu sure? I am an authr and travel frequently. I need t have access t my card at all times fr big r small purchases.” I laughed t myself, thinking I wasn’t ging anywhere fr a while, at least until there was a vaccine.
“Let me reassure yu. There will be n change t yur card, but Ms. Struna, may I ask yu ne mre questin? Are yu the authr f The Old Cape Huse?”
My jaw drpped. He was talking abut my first nvel f suspenseful histrical fictin, The Old Cape Huse, published in 2013. I was stunned and I stammered, “Why, yes I am.” I was still skeptical abut what he wanted frm me.
Thmas kept talking. “I thught it was yu. I recgnized yur name, and when yu tld me yu were an authr, I knew it was yu.”
“Oh, my gdness.” My heart started t beat faster with delight at the cnnectin I was making with an unknwn freign reader.
“Ms. Struna, yur bk changed me. It changed hw I lk at the wrld. It shwed me ways t be mre adventuresme and t be pen t new things. Thank yu s very much.”
