22、Taylor grew up on the coast of New South Wales, Australia and swimming in the ocean was part of everyday life. She began spear fishing and worked her way up in her early 20s to become one of very few women who were professional spear fishers and was named the Australian Ladies National Champion.
However, as she spent more time underwater, especially with the sharks, she had a change of heart. “I learned straight away that sharks are nowhere near as dangerous as the media would have us believe. And I learned that they all have different personalities—there’s the shy guy, the cross guy, and the aggressive guy; they’re all different.” From that point on, she decided, along with her late husband and world spear fishing champion, Ron Taylor, to hang up her spear and to only shoot them with her camera.
As a pioneering shark conservationist, Taylor succeeded in many firsts throughout her life’s work. She was the first person to dive with sharks cageless. The first person to test the power of a shark bite; she hand-fed a Great White and petted it. There’s nothing she wouldn’t do to help correct the false image that sharks are dangerous, man-eating beasts. Her research has become the basis for much of what we know about sharks today and she succeeded in becoming the first person to get Grey Nurse sharks protected in a specific area, the first shark species in the world to receive protected status.
When asked about what could be done to help save the sharks, and the oceans, Taylor said she was quite pessimistic about the whole thing. “Change has to come from the government level.” But she also recommended, “The thing that works the best is to get a good story and then get it on camera. Then go on television and speak to the public. Say it to the mothers, ‘Wouldn’t you like your child... when they’re old enough, to be able to see this wonderful, friendly shark?’”
【1】What sort of girl was Taylor in her early 20s?
A．Far-seeing.
B．Demanding.
C．Accomplished.
D．Environmentally-aware.
【2】What might be Taylor’s inspiration to change her heart?
A．Her desire to be rich.
B．Her understanding of sharks.
C．Her ambition for becoming rich.
D．Her marriage with Ron.
【3】Why are Taylor’s firsts mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A．To prove her great influence on shark conservation.
B．To urge the protection of sea animals.
C．To present her achievements as a female fisher pioneer.
D．To show her efforts to correct people’s false impression on sharks.
【4】What does Taylor think is a better way to protect sharks?
A．Raising public awareness.
B．Turning to experts for advice.
C．Inventing stories about sharks.
D．Relying on the government only.
23、 We may not have the full details and are likely to judge something based on limited information.We tend to distance ourselves through our judgment and become disappointed with what we find. Judgment keeps us safe because we move our feelings of fear,shame and guilt onto others to make ourselves feel better.This comes at a cost of parting ourselves instead of building stronger connections.
The way out of judgment is through the power of gratitude,which helps us see things differently.Gratitude opens the door to our hearts and helps us consider things from different aspects.A heart filled with gratitude is unlike a heart filled with judgment,fear and anger.Consequently,judgment and gratitude are opposing forces.One is the field of the self and the other is expressed through true goodness and sympathy.
The key to recognizing our judgment lies in being mindful of our thoughts.I often tell coaching customers when they notice themselves judging,to stop and ask a simple question:“What am I not seeing in this situation?”This helps us notice where we are blinded by our bias(偏见)and unable to see the truth.It is my experience that judgment happens mainly in our connection with people.
We are unaware of other people’s motives and plans because we bring our own ill-natured thinking to the process.This was evident with the Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong,who convinced himself and others he did not cheat. He went to great lengths to dismiss(否定)his use of illegal performance-improving drugs.In an interview with Oprah Winfrey,he said that his lies were so convincing that they eventually became truth.
But upholding a lie is harder than speaking the truth.In contrast,the power of gratitude allows us to shift(转移)our attention to the truth,even if it means our feelings will be hurt.Gratitude turns the switch from fear and judgment to sympathy and understanding.It is the bridge where friendships and tolerance are born.
【1】What does the author think of judgment?
A.It makes us physically safe. B.It contributes to satisfying results.
C.It damages our relationships with others. D.It allows us to decide with full understanding.
【2】What’s the author’s purpose of asking his customers the question?
A.To warn them of others’ill thoughts. B.To help them to recognize their judgment.
C.To remind them to connect with others. D.To explain to them the bad effects of judgment.
【3】The example of Lance Armstrong is used to show .
A.the progress in medicine B.the source of judgment
C.the achievement of the cyclist D.the reason for telling white lies
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Benefits of being grateful B.Search for the whole truth
C.Ways to form a friendship D.Get away from judgment
24、What is citizen science? Citizen science generally involves groups of people or amateur scientists helping gather data for use in nature or wildlife studies to support conservation. So whether you give your time online, or sign up for a practical project with a wildlife or nature organization close to home, your generosity and kindness will not only help nature, but do you the world of good as well.
When we give we feel good. We experience what scientists describe as the’ warm glow effect’or ‘helper’s high’, now known to be caused by a release of endorphins(内啡肽) in the brain. Research into this effect discovered that giving to charities activates the areas of the brain associated with pleasure, social connection and trust.Put simply,altruism(利他行为)is a proven path to good mental health.
When our altruism is related to nature, and in particular when we give our time and effort, the rewards for our well being, or our health and happiness, are far-reaching. Whether we’re working to maintain freshwater ponds at the weekend, or contributing to a citizen science survey by monitoring wildlife in our back garden, our care and kindness has the power to lift our mood and strengthen our self-respect, especially when we learn new skills and earn the added satisfaction of accomplishing new tasks.
The hands-on aspect of taking part in nature and wildlife conservation projects has also been shown to reduce stress, anxiety and low mood. In 2020 a three-year study by the uk Wildlife Trusts found that 95 percent of participants who reported low mental well-being at the start of volunteering, recorded an improvement in their mental health after six weeks, which increased further after 12 weeks.
Alan Murray, head of volunteering at the RSPB, also agrees: “We believe our volunteers keep coming back because of nature’s power to restore, uplift and inspire and we’re confident that the more time people spend connecting with wildlife the more they feel moved to protect it."
【1】We feel good when giving most probably due to ________.

【2】According to the text,which of the following statement is true?

B．Participants of nature conservation projects are likely to experience better mental health
C．Amateur scientists worked with some organizations close to their homes
D．When our altruism is related to nature, our health and happiness are hard to reach
【3】What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To acknowledge the great power of nature.
B．To emphasis the significance of wildlife preservation
C．To encourage people to sign up for big projects.
D．To inform readers of a new concept and its advantage
【4】What can we infer about Alan Murray’s attitude towards nature and wildlife conservation projects?
A．Favorable.
B．Disapproving
C．Skeptical.
D．Concerned.
