26、Not long ago, Egypt marked the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Suez Canal. The canal connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. It helped speed world trade between the East and the West. But the man-made waterway has also helped speed the rise of other things, such as invasive(入侵的)non-native species (物种). Scientists say the invasive creatures have damaged the Mediterranean’s environment and caused native species to disappear.
The number of non-native creatures has risen since the Suez Canal was widened in 2015. The “New Suez Canal” has raised concerns in Europe and brought disagreement from many Mediterranean countries. Bella Galil is an Israeli biologist who has studied the Mediterranean for over 30 years. She says much of the ecological(生态的)damage cannot be repaired. She said urgent action is needed to ease the effects of the invasive fish and other sea life.
Galil works at Tel Aviv University’s Steinhardt Museum of Natural History. She noted that the widening and deepening of the Suez Canal has created a “moving aquarium” of species. These creatures could make coastal waters almost unusable for human beings. Galil believes the number of invasive species has reached 400. That is twice the number 30 years ago. She said this is a “historic example of the dangers of unintended consequences.”
Israel is now dealing with huge numbers of poisonous(有毒的) jellyfish that affect coastal power centers and keep people from visiting the seashore. Other poisonous species, such as the lionfish and silver-cheeked toadfish, are also appearing.
Galil said the problems of invasive species can be compared to those of climate change, pollution and over-fishing. She argues that the new species have caused a major “restructuring” of the environment. This has endangered native species.
Some experts have suggested that increasing salt levels in the canal itself could create a barrier(障碍物) that would keep invasive species out.
【1】What lesson can we learn from the effects of the Suez Canal?
A．Seeing is believing.
B．Every coin has two sides.
C．Let nature take its course.
D．Everyone makes mistakes.
【2】What’s the attitude of many Mediterranean countries towards the“New Suez Canal"?
A．Uncaring.
B．Unclear.
C．Supportive.
D．Against.
【3】What is the ecological environment like after the Suez Canal reconstruction?
A．It is from bad to worse.
B．It remains the same.
C．It improves a great deal.
D．It has become a completely new one.
【4】Why did Galil mention climate change,pollution and over-fishing in paragraph 5?
A．To add some background information.
B．To stress the harm of invasive species.
C．To solve the problem of invasive species.
D．To compare their similarities and differences.
27、The secret to work-life balance will differ depending on your field of work, family structure and finances. 【1】 Understanding the work-life truths will help you find your own work-life balance — and then keep it. Let’s get started!
Look inside yourself.
The first step to finding work-life balance is to look inside yourself and admit the mixed feelings you may have about working or being a mother or the other roles that are influencing your schedule. 【2】 Now’s the time to let go of those bad feelings — and perhaps also the people who bring out those feelings in you.
【3】
The next important stage of work-life balance is to be honest when looking at your employment situation. Are you in a field where work-life is discounted as impossible? Does your employer have unrealistic demands? It might be smart to explore working elsewhere, move to a more family-friendly employer or simply negotiate a better schedule.
Let go and say no.
You must prioritize to be successful as a working parent. 【4】 So instead, pick out the most important tasks for you to do, choose someone to do some other things and let the rest go. Your children will survive their childhood without homemade cupcakes for every birthday or a hot lunch sent to school every day.
【5】
Possibly the most important thing of work-life balance is to make the most of the time that you do have with your family and friends. Don’t waste those valuable moments feeling guilty or worrying about work projects that you can’t control. Live every moment to the fullest!
A．Enjoy your life.
B．Rethink your work situation.
C．Make the most of your job.
D．Are you filled with guilt or self-pity?
E．Be honest about your schedule.
F．But some work-life balance principles are universal.
G．There simply isn’t enough time in the day to get everything done.
