In the heart of Texas, "Bee Czar" Walter Schumacher is saving the world—one hive (蜂群) at a time. And he does it without wearing a protective bee suit. What is his technique? He "communicates" with the bees to avoid being bitten. Walter and his team at the American Honey Bee Protection Agency rescue hives from places that are unwanted—inside the walls of a house or 30 feet up in a neighborhood tree, and relocate the hives where the bees can grow and pollinate (授粉) in peace.
According to Walter, every third bite of food we eat was pollinated by bees; without them, life would cease existing. But saving bees costs money, so they have got to sell honey to make money.
Walter's business once was booming with $200,000 in yearly sales. But after losing everything in the past three years, Walter wants to rebuild his honey business so that he can afford to rescue unwanted hives. With his oldest son Will and a small but dedicated team, Walter has a plan to transform their old family farm into their new headquarters, to save more bees and sell more honey.
Saving bees is a big affair. Will runs the business, trying to keep his dad organized;Walter teaches his younger sons Bodhi and Odin the skills of keeping bees, and Will's wife Meredith is experiencing her first bee rescue. Walter also invites bee technician Jonathan who seeks inner calm by rescuing bees and scaffolding (脚手架) pro Sandy, who can reach angry bees in places ladders can't and dreams of talking to b旺s herself. Walter brings audiences into the hive when he trains beekeepers to safely handle mill ions of bees. Will plans to sign big contracts selling honey to businesses like restaurants and supermarkets, meanwhile undertaking dangerous hive rescues.

C. To rebuild his business. D. To train more bee raisers.
7、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

B. What Walter's family do to save bees.
C. Whether Walter sticks to his business.
D. How Walter teaches his sons to keep bees.
This year, the students of University of Rochester (UR) can monitor occupancy rates in River Campus Libraries (RCL) spaces through the Waitz App, seeing which areas of the library have free space without having to physically visit it themselves.
"Waitz shows how busy each floor of the library is, so students can know before leaving their dorm," Madi VanDeVelde, Manager of Waitz's parent company, said. "Now, students never have to waste time pacing to looking for an open seat again."
"The beauty of Waitz has really been in helping anyone who has walked into one of our popular spaces, only to discover that they can't find a space," Maurini Strub, Director of Performance &. User Engagement of RCL, said. "Using the app, they can identify their best bets for an alternative space, and know before they go to the library where to find a spot."
The company uses the Internet of Things to determine how many people are in a given space. They install sensors into the walls of RCL spaces that scan for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals. The signals are then converted into live occupancy data which are displayed in the monitors within RCL and on the mobile app. According to the company's CEO Nic Halverson, the sensors have at least a 90 % accuracy rate and do not collect any personally identifiable information.
Halverson launched the project in 2017 with his roommates in UC San Diego (UCSD) after being frustrated by the lack of open spaces at the university's library. "I was walking up and down the eight floors of UCSD's Geisel Library trying to find a seat to study one night only to see zero space available," Halverson said. "I wish I knew how busy every floor was before I came! Then, Waitz App was born." Now, you can download Waitz App on iOS and Android devices and select UR as your location.
8、What can Waitz App help the students of UR do?
A. Find empty seats in RCL. B. Know the way to UR.
C. Borrow books from RCL. D. Make friends in UR.
9、What is the advantage of Waitz App according to the text?
A. Avoiding accidents. B. Reducing costs.
C. Improving grades. D. Saving time.
10、Why did Halverson design Waitz App?
A. He wanted to help the students of UCSD.
B. He wanted to walk up the eight floors quickly.
C. He had the dream to invent an Android device.
D. He once had difficulty finding a seat in a library.
11、What may be the best title for the text?
A. Waitz, A Magic App B. RCL, A Famous Library
C. UR, A Beautiful University D. Halverson, A Great Designer
As the carbon countdown clock ticks on, cities must be more imaginative and cooperative, a lively round table hosted in Newham by a non-profit organization Friends of the Earth said.
"Net zero is around the corner," said Mike Wake, Director of Friends of the Earth. "The UK has cut greenhouse gas emission (排放) by 40 % to date mostly through the growth of large renewable generation on the grid (输电网), but further cuts will be needed as London tries to find new ways of using energy. "
"While Newham has lower greenhouse gas emission per head than the UK, it has high levels of fuel poverty, poor air quality and leaky homes. Vastly improved energy efficiency, especially on older and leakier homes, along with more efficient forms of heating and an expansion of low carbon heat networks, will help," said Wake.
"But the future requires a shift to a more communal solution," the representatives said. District heating, which pipes hot water from a central source to connected homes or businesses, is often a cheaper and lower-carbon method of heating highly populated areas. "It's the lowest cost and low carbon solution for the future," Wake added.
"There are new technologies to use wasted heat," Wake said. "We worked with businesses to decarbonise (使环保) energy supply. Rather than wasting, spare heat generated by manufacturing and other activities can be captured and used to heat nearby properties. Friends of the Earth has already helped save Newham thousands of tonnes of emissions through district heating plans, solar PV and more energy efficient measures in the homes."
But the challenges are substantial. Newham has London's second-highest rate of fuel poverty. "Anyway, I'm confident and hopeful about the collective challenge," said Wake. " But for Newham to be at the forefront of a green economy, to solve fuel poverty and deal with structural equalities, we must spare no effort. "
12、What does Wake think of cutting green house gas em1ss10n m the UK?
A. It doesn't Work at all. B. It ended a short time ago.
C. It is very difficult to continue. D. It still needs to be improved,
13、What does the underlined word "communal" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Expensive. B. Peaceful. C. Public. D. Complex.
14、How did Friends of the Earth help protect the environment?
A. By releasing wasted heat. B. By starting up many businesses.
C. By making national heating plans. D. By solving the issues about energy.
15、What is Wake's attitude to the challenges of Newham?
A. Worried B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Critical.

With only a week before New Year knocked on their door, Faith sat at her old sewing machine一a special gift from her late mother apart from her sewing skills—secretly sewing new clothes for her father and three younger siblings (兄弟姐妹) and preparing them for Easter.
Faith was the eldest daughter in the family and responsible enough to shoulder her disabled father's responsibilities. Faith's father, George, lost his arm in an accident. Despite his disability, George did his best to raise his children, but money was tight, and there were a lot of mouths to feed.
When George couldn't afford new beds for his children as they grew taller .and older, he made new furniture with one hand. It took him several restless nights to arrange the supplies and complete the work. Out of gratitude, Faith decided to do something for him a week before Easter.
"Let's have a festive dinner, Dad!" she told George. "We haven't celebrated anything since Mom's death. Let's make a change this New)'ear! Please!"
"Honey," George said helplessly, "I barely have any money left, and I'd hate to see my children go to bed starving."
But then George looked at the sadness m his children’s eyes and realized he shouldn't have said that.
"But," he added, ''I guess I can try, can't I? I can get some eggs and flour, and let's get your mother's cookbook from the attic(阁楼) . She had these inexpensive and delicious recipes in there. How about that?"
"Oh, perfect!" Faith cheered. "You're the best, Dad! We'll finally have a proper dinner!" she shouted to her younger siblings, and the joy on his kids' cheeks made George realize that nothing was more important to him than the happiness of his children.
The next day, George could take his kids to shop. The single father rolled his shopping cart through the aisles (过道), picking up a large bag of flour, a dozen eggs, and cheap sliced ham. After they finished shopping, George and his children decided to walk home because the grocery store was only a few blocks away.
