24、In 2010, writer Ding Yan made a decision to leave her hometown in west China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region for Dongguan, a manufacturing(制造业) capital in south China’s Guangdong Province. She wanted to experience and write about the lives of the city’s factory girls who keep the production lines (生产线) moving.
For almost a year, Ding worked at two electronics factories and a CD packaging factory. It was a difficult experience for a woman in her forties. Every day, she would put a small notebook and pen into her pocket secretly before starting her work. Much of the book was written during her short toilet breaks at work. From her experiences and the stories of the women she met came a book, Factory Girls, which came out at the end of this April.
Factory Girls describes what life is like on the production line. It describes how the women stand all day, doing the same work. They sometimes chat quietly. One time, Ding was working next to a girl who told her, "I really wish the production line could just stop a moment for me to take a breath (呼吸). "
Ding said, "When I really thought about it, I came to realize that there was no difference between the factory girls and me. Although I don’t work physically as hard as they do to make a living, we are all experiencing the same helpless feeling towards life. The women I met were all very good at their jobs but they didn’t have great passion (热情) for life. "

25、①There are many kinds of amazing animals in the world. Have you ever watched one of them—Canada geese (雁)? They can teach us a lesson about teamwork.
②In autumn, Canada geese have to fly to the warm south to get away from Canada’s cold winter. When they leave the ground and rise into the air, they fly in no order. Then they quickly form a V shape, with one bird leading the group.
③This V shape allows Canada geese to save energy. The head bird moves its wings up and down. The resulting (产生的) force of the air helps lift the next bird. Each bird will do so until they get to the southern part. The bird at the head of the group has the hardest job. When it gets tired, another bird moves to the front and takes its place. By sharing this job, the group can travel great distances. Canada geese flying in a V shape can fly seventy percent farther without having a rest than the birds flying alone.
④During the long flying journey, Canada geese communicate with one another. They honk (鸣叫) to encourage the birds up front to keep up the speed. They also cheer one another up while working toward the same destination.
⑤What have we learned from the lovely Canada geese’s experience and skills? Work together! Whether in our personal lives or our jobs, we need the spirit of teamwork!
【1】What kind of shape do Canada geese form during the journey?

B.S.

【2】How do the Canada geese encourage the birds up front to keep up the speed?

C.
D.

Posted 2 hours ago by Amy I have always admired students who hand their homework in on time and never forget to do it. Me, on the other hand, . . . OK, I admit. I’m terrible at getting myself organized! But lately I’ve started keeping a small study diary. I write down everything I need to do and when it needs to be done by. Then I write a reminder a few days before the date just in case. It’s helping. So I was wondering, what are your tips for getting organized? Post a comment below. I’m hoping we can all share some tips to teach us all better study skills. |
Comments Hanna Good question, Amy. I always spend about five minutes at the end of the day tidying up the desktop on my computer. I make a backup of important documents. I delete things I don’t need anymore and put everything into the correct folder. Gloria The most important thing is to start studying a few weeks before the exams and not leave it until the night before! That’s just common sense, I think. Lou Hi, Amy. My tip is to have a big notice board in your bedroom, divided into different sections. I’ve got one. It’s a whiteboard. I’ve got a section for each school subject and another one for other stuff. I use pens to write reminders and I make sure I look at it every day. The best part is when I remove something from the board! |
【1】What’s the text mainly about?
A.How to keep a study diary.
