26、High-Wire Act

Mickey Wilson had been on the mountain only a few seconds when he heard the scream. Wilson, 28 years old, had just gotten off the cable car (索道缆车) at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area in Keystone, Colorado, along with his friends Billy Simmons and Hans Mueller. Their friend Richard had been on the cable car ahead of them, but when the men reached the top of the lift, he had disappeared. The men walked toward the source of the scream and found skiers stopped on the slope, pointing to the cable car. And then the friends screamed too.

“Oh, Richard!” yelled Mueller.

When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his backpack had been caught in the chair, which then dragged him back down the hill. In the process, the backpack belt twisted around his neck, making him breathless. Now Richard’s body was swinging four feet above the snow. The cable car operator had quickly stopped it, and the friends kicked off their skis and ran toward the scene. They made a human pyramid to try to reach Richard, but the unconscious man was too far off the ground. With the clock ticking, Wilson ran to the ladder of a nearby lift tower. Scared skiers watched as he struggled the 25 feet. After he reached the top, Wilson’s first challenge was to climb onto the two-inch steel cable that held the chairs. He handled the balance and height bravely, but he knew he could not walk on the cable. Therefore, he calmed down and sat over it and then used his hands to pull himself to Richard quickly. Wilson’s greatest fear wasn’t that he’d fall, but that he wouldn’t reach Richard. “This was life or death,” he said.

When he reached Richard’s chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted to drop down onto it. But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position. The footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But before that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard.

Fortunately, the ski patrol (巡查) had gathered below and performed emergency treatment on Richard, who had been hanging for about five minutes, then skied him down to an ambulance.

That night, Richard called from the hospital to express his thanks to Wilson, his other friends and the workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.

27、How to avoid a boring conversation

What excuse should you use to avoid talking to people you don’t want to talk to? Here are tips and non-offensive ways to get out of unwanted conversations.

1. Go for a refill.

It is natural for anyone at a party to be excused to get a refill. 【1】 And once you excuse yourself, make a move fast before the person requests you to get a refill for him as well.

2. Pretend bad mood.

Cut off the conversation before it starts by saying something along the lines of “I’m not in a good mood. Can I talk to you later if you don’t mind? 【2】 Say it firmly so that people get the message loud and clear.

3. Ask your friend to save you.

【3】 Simply text your friend and ask him or her to come for apparently something important. You will be able to skip a boring chat with a seemingly reasonable excuse.

4. 【4】

You are advised to look away from that person and don’t make eye contact, so that you can give powerful hints that you find the conversation extremely boring. 【5】 Be sure to tune in to the conversation every now and then so you don’t come across as rude.

A．Behave in an obviously careless way.

B．Just be sure that the person you are talking to does not offer to accompany you to do so.

C．Don’t act too polite in an attempt to draw sympathy.

28、   A new exhibition celebrates the life of Florence Nightingale, an English woman whose ideas about cleanliness are vital to this day.

The exhibit can be seen at the Florence Nightingale Museum at St Thomas' Hospital in London. It marks the 200th anniversary（周年纪念） of Nightingale's birth. The exhibit tells the story of how she overcame difficulties to become the world's most famous nurse. The show recreates her bedroom and lets visitors hear a recording of her voice, and even smell the perfume she wore. Fiona Hibberts is a nursing consultant and works for the hospital's Nightingale Academy. She described Nightingale's work as "really, really significant" to future generations. "Obviously, she was a forceful leader," Hibberts said. "And we need clear, visible, strong leadership today and certainly in modern nursing."

The exhibition, called "Nightingale in 200 Objects, People & Places", will continue for a year. St Thomas' is one of a small number of hospitals in Britain with an area for the treatment of coronavirus patients. "The emphasis on good hygiene（卫生）, fresh air, exercise, good food ... no matter how much we advance, those fundamental foundational principles of Florence are still very much the basis of modern nursing," Hibberts noted. She added, "It's the same old message: Wash your hands."

Nightingale became world famous after she and a small team of medical workers travelled to modern-day Istanbul during the Crimean War. It was fought mainly on the Crimean Peninsula in the middle of the 1850s. Nightingale helped treat British soldiers wounded in the fighting. In an unclean hospital, she witnessed thousands of soldiers die from infectious diseases. Their deaths led to her decision to try to improve conditions. The lamp she used when visiting patients at night, as well as the nurses' uniform she created, is on display at the exhibition. Yvonne Moores is Chair of the Florence Nightingale Foundation and Britain's former national Chief Nursing Officer. "If Florence Nightingale herself was here, she would be supporting all that is being said at the moment. She was absolutely into infection control and hand-washing, being very observant."

【1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．Effective measures to fight against the spreading coronavirus.

B．An exhibition celebrating the life of Florence Nightingale.

C．An appeal to the British for frequent visits to the exhibition .

D．The difficulties Florence Nightingale overcame to be a nurse.

【2】What are people most likely to learn about Nightingale from the exhibition?

A．Her argument against the war.

B．Her attitudes to fame and fortune.

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, becoming the first known case of human-animal 【1】, the zoo's chief veterinarian said on Sunday.

Nadia, the 4-year-old Malayan tiger that tested positive, was 【2】 for the COVID-19 disease after 【3】 a dry cough along with three other tigers and three lions, the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, said in a statement.

All of the cats are expected to recover, it said. But officials believe this is a unique case because Nadia became sick after 【4】 to an asymptomatic zoo employee, Paul Calle, chief veterinarian at the Bronx Zoo, told Reuters.

Calle said they did not know which employee infected the tiger. "This is the first time that we have discovered that a person infects the animal and the animal gets sick," Calle said, adding that they planned to share the findings with other zoos and institutions. " I guess 【5】 we will all have a better understanding as a result.

While the other tigers and lions were also 【6】 symptoms, the zoo decided to test only Nadia because she was the sickest and  had started to lose her appetite already, and they did not want to 【7】 all the cats to anesthesia(麻醉), Calle said.

Nadia 【8】 X-rays, an ultrasound(超声波) and blood tests to try to figure out what was making her sick .

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the fold-able screen “the 【8】 for the smart-phone of tomorrow.” “It’s a balank canvas for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.

So is there nothing to stand in the way of the fold-able future?

Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these fold-able devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That’s a price that may 【10】 the majority of people.

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

Patrick Moor-head, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if fold-able or roll-able mobile displays are the future of smart-phones; the only question is when and by whom.”
