21、One morning I noticed a woman sitting alone at the bus stop. She seemed not to go to work hurriedly. She wasn't going anywhere as well. Was she waiting for the bus? Did mall（商场）buses come this early when the stores wouldn't be open for hours? I felt puzzled. As I drove by, I heard a voice say, "Give her a bottle of water."
"She looks like she is sleeping. Why would I wake her? What is wrong with me? What is so hard about doing the right thing? It's just a bottle of water!"
So I drove by her again and again. Finally, I pulled my car into a parking zone, stepping out with a bottle of water in one hand and a twenty-dollar bill in the other. Each step seemed to fill me with purpose and focus. No words can describe what happened between us at that moment. I thought I was bringing her a cold drink, but instead I was bringing her a hope she needed. We sat together for a while as she talked. She had a sad story to tell, but she was no longer sad. Before we parted, I grabbed all the cash I had in my purse and found more water in my car along with some snacks. We stood at the bus stop hugging and said our goodbyes.
I still have a thousand questions as to why I struggled to act. Why did it take me many circles around the mall and an argument with myself? I was once torn between helping her and ignoring her. All I know for sure is that while walking toward that woman at the bus stop, a miracle happened.
There are opportunities for us to love every day. Maybe our doubts keep us from acting. Maybe we don't want to take the risk or be uncomfortable. That day, I learned how love answers when asked and how love both gives and receives.

22、Climate change will significantly alter how sound travels underwater, potentially affecting natural soundscapes (音响范围) as well as increasing human-generated noise, according to a new global study that identified future ocean “sound hotspots.” These changes to ocean soundscapes could impact essential activities of marine life.
“We calculated the effects of temperature, depth and salinity (盐度) based on public data to model the soundscape of the future,” said Alice Affatati, lead author of the new study published today in Earth’s Future. It is the first global-scale estimate of ocean sound speed linked to future climate. In warmer water, sound waves travel faster and last longer before dying away.
Two hotspots, in the Greenland Sea and a patch of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean east of Newfoundland, can expect the most change at 50 and 500 meter depths. The major impact is expected in the Arctic, where we know already there is expansion of the effects of climate change now. Not all the Arctic, but one specific part where all factors play together to give a signal that overcomes the uncertainty of the model itself.
Many marine animals use sound to communicate with each other and navigate their under-water world. Changing the sound speed can impact their ability to feed, fight, find mates, avoid predators and migrate, the authors said. Temperature, pressure with increasing depth and salinity all affect how tast and how far sound travels in water.
Future work will combine the global soundscape with other maps of human impacts in the oceans to accurately determine areas of combined stressors (压力源), or direct needed observational research. With complicated problems like climate change, to combine different approaches is the way to go.
【1】What does the new study indicate?
A．Human-generated noise will impact climate change.
B．Activities of marine life could impact ocean soundscapes.
C．Natural soundscapes may potentially affect climate change.
D．Climate change may affect the way sounds travel under oceans.
【2】The global-scale estimate of ocean sound speed linked to future climate is________.
A．useless
B．initial
C．simple
D．outdated
【3】In which aspect does climate change affect marine life?
A．Their food variety.
B．Their eyesight.
C．Their survival ability.
D．Their dashing ability.
【4】What is the next aim of the study?
A．To try different approaches.
B．To combine global soundscapes.
C．To analyse other human impacts.
D．To locate the places of stress source.
23、 It’s never easy to admit the mistakes you make, but doing so is an important step toward moving forward.
National Geographic magazine recently published an article with the title “For decades, our coverage was racist. To rise above our past, we must acknowledge it.” It was written by the magazine’s editor-in-chief Susan Goldberg, the first woman and first Jewish person to hold the position. National Geographic has acknowledged that its coverage of the black and racial minorities in America and the wider world has been historically racist, frequently promoting caricatures of the “noble savage” and barely featuring the US’s minority population.
According to Goldberg, the 130-year-old publication’s April issue “explores how race defines, separates, and unites us”. In honor of 50 years since the killing of Martin Luther King, who is known for fighting racial inequality in the US, the issue is devoted to race.
The publication republished a number of examples of historical racism in its coverage. One 1916 article about Australia included a photo of two Indigenous Australians with the wording: “South Australian Blackfellows: These savages rank lowest in intelligence of all human beings.”
To review its previous coverage of race, Goldberg asked University of Virginia historian John Edwin Mason to look back at the magazine’s text, choice of subjects, and photography of people of color from the US and abroad. “Until the 1970s, National Geographic all but ignored people of color who lived in the United States, rarely acknowledging them beyond laborer or domestic workers,” Goldberg wrote about Mason’s findings. “Meanwhile, it pictured ‘natives’ elsewhere as exotics, famously and frequently unclothed happy hunters, noble savages.”
Mason also found that the magazine often ran photos of “uncivilized” natives amazed by “civilized” Western technology.
In recent years, however, the magazine has improved. For example, in a 2015 project, National Geographic gave cameras to young people in the Caribbean country of Haiti and asked them to shoot pictures of their everyday lives.
“The coverage wasn’t right before, because it was told from a white American point of view, and I think it speaks to exactly why we needed a variety of storytellers,” Goldberg told the Associated Press.
National Geographic’s look at its past also inspired other media organizations to revisit their own historical coverage of race. The New York Times admitted that most of its obituaries(讣告) were about the lives of white men, and has started publishing obituaries of famous women in a special section titled “Overlooked”. After all, recognizing overlooked mistakes is what makes us grow.
【1】The April issue of National Geographic magazine is special because ______.
A.readers can see Mason’s investigation report in this issue
B.it is released to mark National Geographic’s 130th anniversary
C.it focuses on the issue of race in memory of Martin Luther King
D.it is the first issue since Susan Goldberg became the editor-in-chief
【2】Which of the following may prove National Geographic’s coverage was racist?
A.It often pictured coloured people with decent jobs.
B.Natives were often presented as undressed happy hunters.
C.It asked ordinary people to shoot pictures of their daily lives.
D.It only featured minority groups in America but overlooked others.
【3】What can we learn about the National Geographic?
A.It used to tell stories from the perspective of a white Jewish woman.
B.The overall image of natives in it was brave, intelligent but uncivilized.
C.Its texts and choice of subjects were diverse and had no racial prejudice.
D.It inspired other media organizations to reflect on their coverage of race.
【4】According to the writer, acknowledging the mistakes may .
A.spoil the image of the world famous magazine
B.remove racial discrimination around the world
C.help the magazine to move forward and grow better
D.discourage the editors from reporting bravely and honestly
