There is smething t be said fr being a generalist, even if yu are a specialist. Knwing a little abut a lt f things that interest yu can add t the richness f a whle, well-lived life.
Sciety pushes us t specialize, t becme experts. This requires cmmitment t a particular ccupatin, branch f study r research. The drawback t being specialists is we ften cme t knw mre and mre abut less and less. There is a great deal f pressure t master ne's field. Yu may pursue training, degrees, r increasing levels f respnsibility at wrk. Then yu discver the pressure f having t keep up.
Sme peple seem willing t wrk arund the clck in their narrw specialty. But such cmmitment can als weaken a sense f freedm. These specialists culd wrk at the ffice until ten each night, then lk back and realize they wuld have lved t have gne hme and enjyed the sweetness f their family and friends, r traveled t exciting places, meeting interesting peple. Mastering ne thing t the exclusin f thers can hld back yur true spirit.
Generalists, n the ther hand, knw a lt abut a wide range f subjects and view the whle with all its cnnectins. They are peple f ability, talent, and enthusiasm wh can bring their brad perspective（视角）int specific fields f expertise（专长）.The dctr wh is als a pet and philspher is a superir dctr, ne wh can give s much mre t his patients than just gd medical skills.
Things are cnnected. Let yur expertise in ne field fuel yur passins in all related areas. Sme f yur interests may nt appear t be cnnected but, nce yu explre their depths, yu discver that they are. My editr Tni, wh is als a writer, has edited several histry bks. She has decided t study Chinese histry. Fascinated by the structural beauty f the Frbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested t learn mre abut Chinese philsphy. "I dn't knw where it will lead, but I'm excited I'm n this pursuit.
These expansins int new wrlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin t see the intercnnectedness f ne thing t anther in all aspects f ur life, f urselves and the universe. Develp brad, general knwledge and experience. The universe is all yurs t explre and enjy.
28. T becme a specialist, ne may have t_______.
A. avid respnsibilities at wrkB. narrw his range f knwledge
C. knw mre abut the scietyD. braden his perspective n life
29. Accrding t the authr, a superir dctr is ne wh ________.

Have yu ever had the feeling that yu can’t think when there is t much nise arund? Did yu ever think a fish culd experience that feeling t? A recent paper published in Science titled “Sundscape (声景) f the Anthrpcene Oceans”, cmbined ver 10,000 scientific papers, cnfirming that undersea life knws that exact same feeling, mre ften than nt. Anthrpgenic（人为的）cean nise, als knwn as underwater nise pllutin, has created a dramatic impact n marine life due t “human-caused” activity within and neighbring ur ceans
Disney Pixar’s animated film Finding Nem educated us abut the cean, and specifically within the rdinary wrld f a clwn fish. A fact many may nt knw is that clwn fish spend the first part f their lives as larvae, drifting with the current f the cean until they becme strng enugh t swim against it. Once they are pwerful and strng, they head hme in sheltered cral reefs. There is nly ne drawback—the fish can’t physically see the reef, but they can hear it. The nly prblem is, if they can’t hear it, will they ever make it hme?
Our anthrpgenic cean nise, such as carg ships, ship and bat prpellers（螺旋桨）, surfing, deep sea mining, etc. are causing destructin f marine life. Accrding t Time, sund is the sensry signal that travels the farthest thrugh the cean. Anthrpgenic nise drwns ut the natural sundscapes, putting marine life under immense stress. Altgether this stress then affects their general health, disrupts their behavir, physilgy, reprductin and, in extreme cases, causes death. Marine life can adapt t nise pllutin, hwever, nly if they can escape it. This nly renders further cmplicatins f straying（使偏离）species frm their traditinal breeding regins r separating them frm their families.
Nw, what if we tld yu there is already a slutin? Multiple remedies, ideas and designs are currently in the wrks r already exist t eliminate and reverse the damage f anthrpgenic cean nise. As Time explains, frm wind-pwered ships t nise-reducing prpellers, flating wind turbines and “bubble curtains” that reduce cnstructin nise, the slutins are already available and in sme cases, cst-effective. The authrs f the paper hpe it will catch the attentin f plicymakers, wh histrically speaking, have ignred the matter still t this day.
Of all the challenges ceans creatures are battling, luckily sund pllutin is the easiest cmprmise humans can make. Once the nise has decreased, marine life will be able t better manage everything else it is up against.
32. What d we knw abut “Sundscape f the Anthrpcene Oceans”?
A. It analyses hw sund travels in the cean.
B. It discusses different types f cean pllutin.
C. It studies hw sea animals cmmunicate with each ther.
D. It explres the effects f nise pllutin n sea life.
33. Why did the authr mentin clwn fish in paragraph 2?
A. T present their life cycles.
B. T shw hw terrible their living cnditins are.
C. T stress the imprtance f natural sundscapes t sea life.
D. T intrduce a famus animatin abut the cean wrld.
34. What des the underlined wrd “renders” prbably mean in paragraph 3?
A. Reduces.B. Causes.C. Reveals.D. Prevents.
35. Which f the fllwing slutins is already available accrding t paragraph 4?
A. The management f ship traffic.B. The restrictin f human activities.
C. The applicatin f relevant laws.D. The adptin f nise cntrl techniques.
