22、Li Jun, a middle school boy, felt shy and nervous when he was making a speech in class yesterday. But before the speech, he thought it was quite easy to speak in the front of his classmates.

“I was wrong. It was more difficult than talking to my classmates during playtime,” Li said. “I felt like a mute（哑巴）and wanted to leave the classroom quickly.”

Many students now have the same problem: they can talk about their ideas freely with their best friends after class, but can’t speak in public. According to Zhou Hong, a teacher from a college （大学）.

Zhou hopes schools can give students more chances to open their mouths, such as speech competitions, English parties and class meeting. He also gives some advice to students. “You should practice more during your free time. When you’re speaking in public, deeply（深的）breathe and speak slowly. Imagine（想象）you’re talking to your friends at home and you’ll become confident.”

Before Chu Wenwen, 27, stepped on the stage of this year’s UN Biodiversity Conference opening plenary and gave a speech, she had practiced hundreds of times in front of a beaver(河狸) nest. At the meeting, Chu shared her story of protecting endangered beavers and called on 1 million post-1990s to join her efforts. “With our efforts, the number of beaver nests has increased from 162 to 190 over the past four years.” Chu said.

Known as the “Beaver Princess”, Chu lives a life surrounded by wild animals. Since she was 2, she has made friends with beavers and other wild animals. When she was 7, she got a camera from her father, an animal protector, and developed a deep love for these animals. That’s why she chose to return home after university and follow in her father’s footsteps.

“In the beginning, I often saw beavers get hurt or dead from fighting for places to live, since the willow shrubs(灌木柳) were cut down in the area,” said Chu. “I decided to do something.”

In 2018, Chu initiated the “Beaver Canteen” program and planned to plant willow shrubs for the beavers but found that it might cost more than 2 million yuan. To raise money, she opened a Douyin account and posted videos showing how beavers build their nests. She also made videos to let internet users know how the beavers ate the shrubs she planted with their money. Through her efforts, a super canteen of about 410000 willow shrubs was built with money from those post-1990s internet users.

Now, Chu is working on a new program called the Beaver’s Ark, a hospital for wild animals which are hurt. Earlier this year, Chu received a poisoned vulture(秃鹰). She took care of it carefully and after many days, the vulture was released to nature once it was fully recovered(痊愈).

So far, Chu has rescued more than 60 state-protected animals. “We think what we have done is meaningful. We will continue to encourage more people, especially the youth(年轻人), to take part in nature conversation,” Chu said.

【1】According to Paragraph l & 2, Chu Wenwen is a girl who ________.

A．didn’t prepare well for the opening plenary

B．grew up lonely in the city without animals

C．increased the number of beaver nests successfully

D．called on a few post-1990s to join her efforts

【2】What does “initiated” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean in Chinese?

A．发起

B．供应

C．遭受

D．谋利

【3】Chu Wenwen did many things on the “Beaver Canteen” program EXCEPT ________.

A．raising money to plant more willow shrubs

B．making videos to show how beavers ate the shrubs

C．opening a Douyin account to post videos about beavers

D．setting up a hospital to help the vulture from getting hurt

【4】What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the text?

A．To raise money to save beavers.

B．To introduce the girl and her programs.

C．To show us how to make videos.

D．To encourage people to use online apps.

【5】From which is the text most probably taken?

A．A history book.

B．A sports newspaper.

C．A geographic report.

D．A youth magazine.
