21、The latest addition to the Gtech garden power tools is a lightweight but powerful wireless Leaf Blower(吹落叶机). This autumn it will make the time of clearing leaves and garden pieces very short.
High performance
The 36V Lithium-ion Gtech Leaf Blower has the ability to clear pieces from your lawn, courtyard and driveway. The Leaf Blower uses a turbofan(涡轮风扇发动机) design that allows for a straight air passage from intake to outlet, offering maximum airflow and efficiency that turn the fan at 11,500 times a minute.
Complete control
The Gtech Leaf Blower is lightweight, at just 4.3 kg. It has been designed so that the battery and product weight are reasonably distributed. When in use, it will naturally point towards the ground to direct the airflow. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about injuring your wrists, even if you use it for an entire 20-minute run-time with full power. The variable trigger(扳机) allows for complete control –when you squeeze or release the trigger you will feel the airflow change to suit your garden needs.
Easy to use
The Gtech Leaf Blower is easy to use. There is no need to pull wires or top it up with fuel, so simply attach the battery and pull the trigger to start. The product’s wireless convenience means there are no wires to trip you up or limit your access, and no petrol to store up or pour—simply charge it and it’s ready to go. When you’re done, you can remove the detachable nozzle(管口), so the Gtech Leaf Blower is compact enough to be stored in small places.

23、 Hundreds of snow leopards(雪豹)are being killed every year across the mountains of central Asia, threatening the already endangered big cat, according to a new report from Traffic.
Snow leopards live in 12 nations but more than 90% of the reported snow leopard illegal hunting takes place in five countries: China and Mongolia, which host most snow leopards, as well as Pakistan, India and Tajikistan, of which each have just a few hundred of the animals.
Over half the so-called "ghosts of the mountains" are killed by farmers for attacks on livestock(牲畜)and 20% are trapped by snares(陷阱)set for other animals. Another 20% are killed for the illegal fur trade. The report found up to 200 snow leopards are being illegally traded each year. But the number has fallen sharply in recent years, particularly in China, perhaps because of increasing law enforcement(实施).
The leopards are also at risk from climate change, with warming temperatures threatening to leave a third of their habitat uninhabitable. The tree line shifts up the mountains and causes farmers to plant crops and raise livestock at higher altitudes(高海拔).
To reduce the killings, the report's authors recommend the rolling-out leopard-proof corrals(防豹畜栏)for yaks and horses and insurance schemes for farmers. Such schemes are already being tested, for example in a village in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. The natural food of snow leopards are Himalayan blue sheep and ibex, but their numbers have fallen as their habitat is turned into farmland.
Stronger law enforcement is also needed, said Traffic. Less than a quarter of cases of snow leopard poaching have been found and just one in seven charged.
"We all should work together to greatly reduce human-wildlife conflict and ensure that mountain communities can co-exist with snow leopards," said Rishi Sharma, from WWF and a co-author of the report. "Compensation schemes and innovative predator-proof corrals are making a difference but we urgently need to expand these to benefit communities and snow leopards across Asia's high mountains."
【1】Why are leopards becoming endangered?
A.Because they are often attacked by livestock.
B.Because they are killed by people for kinds of reasons.
C.Because the animals have experienced many earthquakes.
D.Because their meat tastes delicious and people want them.
【2】What's the main idea of Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 4?
A.Leopards are ghosts of the mountains.
B.Snow leopards are threatening people.
C.People are killing more and more leopards.
D.The reasons for the decreasing number of snow leopards.
【3】What can we know from the passage?
A.Cases of snow leopard poaching are happening in 12 nations throughout the world.
B.Most of the reported snow leopard poaching was investigated and charged.
C.The number of snow leopards has fallen because their habitat is turned into farmland.
D.Illegal snow leopard trade has been brought under effective control in China recently.
【4】What's the meaning of the underlined word "poach"?
A.Raising.
B.Killing.
C.Illegal hunting.
D.Feeding.
24、Speaking with people who are suffering is difficult. 【1】 Sometimes it’s just difficult to know what to say. Words fail us. Here are some tips for talking about illness with loved ones.
【2】 Visit them, or if that’s not possible, just call them. Don’t worry if you weren’t there in their exact hour of need. It’s important to let them know you’ve been thinking of them and that you regret the delay.
Ask specific open questions. Your friend will no doubt have a routine response to “How are you feeling?” So steer away from routine politeness by asking specific open questions, such as, “So much has happened since we last spoke, tell me what’s been going on with you.” 【3】
Don’t argue with them. You may indeed believe that drinking herb tea is a cure-all, or a friend of your friend might well have benefited from a dietary change. 【4】 Your friend is likely exhausted and sensitive, so there is no need to contradict their lived experience. Let them lead the conversation about their health, which is a small concession that you should make.
Know how to assist them. If you’ve given them enough room to talk, you should have a wealth of information about how to help them. 【5】 Do they like being in the garden? Maybe you’ve been cutting your own lawn and could bring the mower round before you put it away.
A.Reach out to your unwell loved one.
B.Approach the situation in a gentle manner.
C.But remember where you are and why you are there.
D.People in pain can often be bad-tempered, distant or greatly in need.
E.Your sick friend or relative is literally an expert in what it’s like to live with sickness.
F.Specific information such as diagnosis and symptoms is what they are willing to share.
G.Make suggestions to your friends based on your close listening and knowledge of their history.
