A couple of days ago I unexpectedly lost my job．It wasn’t anything too important：I was just
a carrier for the Scarborough Mirror，delivering newspapers every Wednesday and Friday．But it
brought in a good amount of pocket money for a student like me．
During the first week of September I planned to stop my job，as I wanted to focus on my
academics with school to start．I found a family on my street who were willing to take over and so
I took their names anti numbers and turned them in to my district representative along with my
resignation．
That was last week．This Tuesday came and I was supposed to get the newspapers to deliver
on Wednesday．They didn’t come．I just assumed there probably wasn’t much to deliver so they
would just give me everything tomorrow．It'd happened before so I wasn’t too worried．There was
a seed of doubt ， however ， in my mind ， that maybe the handover of this job was
misunderstood．But I pushed that thought aside and just went on as usual．
Wednesday morning came and the papers weren’t lying on my driveway as they’d done for
the past 9 months．My mom reminded me to call my district representative，who told me the route
had indeed been turned over to the other family．She couldn’t have understood my message when
I said I would work until September．So much for 2 more weeks of work!
In a way，I’m glad because I don’t have to worry about delivering newspaper in the burning
sun．On the other hand，I wasn’t ready to give up my job so early，so the unexpected loss was a
tiny blow to me．
Despite these negative feelings，I’m looking forward to the next summer when I’m getting
promoted and my wage will rise from what I had with the job，which gave me good experience
about hard work and chances to meet my neighbors．

Dogs began to branch out from wolves tens of thousands of years ago ， when their wild
ancestors started interacting with humans．Over time，domestication shaped their behavior，and
today pet dogs are especially expert at understanding cues(暗示)from humans．For example，when
a person points at a bowl，a pet dog will usually approach it．All kinds of complex pointing
gestures have been tried with pet dogs，and they seem to do wel1．
Wolves are a different story，however．When the same experiments are done with wolves，
they seem to be quite poor at it．So there’s this big open question of how dogs became dogs．
Bhadra，an Indian behavioral biologist ，is interested in whether dogs require training to
understand cues like pointing or if the behavior is inborn．Most studies have focused on pet dogs
in developed countries but Bhadra thinks it’s an error to neglect how stray dogs respond to human
cues．
In India，there’s a huge population of stray dogs that live on the streets for generations．The
researchers felt that the free-ranging dogs were a very nice system，which could give them inputs
about what dogs could have been like before being made parts of human families．
For the study，the researchers approached stray dogs on the Indian streets．One experimenter
presented the dogs with a piece of raw chicken in a plastic bowl．About half of the time，the dogs
ran away，scared．But the friendlier dogs that stuck around were tested for their ability to respond
to pointing．Once a dog proved interested，the first experimenter put chicken in one of two bowls
and covered both bowls．A second experimenter，who had no knowledge of which bowl contained
the meat and thus couldn’t give subconscious cue information，pointed at one of the bowls while
the dog watched．About 80 percent actually followed the point and went to the bowl that the
second experimenter pointed toward．
Bhadra thinks this demonstration provides evidence that training is not required for dogs to
understand complex pointing cues．Perhaps further studies with stray dogs can help reveal more
about what makes dogs the best friends of human beings．
8．What does the example in paragraph 1 show about pet dogs?
A．They can figure out some human gestures．
B．They’re particularly attached to their owners．
C．They may make sense of specific human speech．
D．They’re easily distinguished from wolves in intelligence．
9．What does the underlined word“neglect”in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Ignore． B．Estimate． C．Guarantee． D．Claim．
10．How did the second experimenter give dogs directions?
A．By mistake． B．In a logical manner．
C．At random． D．Through trial and error．
11．In which section of a newspaper can we read the text?
A．Environment． B．Technology． C．Discovery． D．Chemistry．
D
With over 4.1 billion people，or around 55 percent of the world’s population，living in urban
areas，cities and towns worldwide are getting increasingly jammed．In addition to spending hours
stuck in traffic，residents are also exposed to high air pollution levels caused by transportation
emissions(排放)．Now，Saudi Arabia hopes to overturn urban living with“The Line”—a
futuristic city designed around nature，without cars，roads and crowded places!
The totally different city，announced on January 10，2021，is the brainchild of Saudi Crown
Prince(王储)Mohammed bin Salman(MBS)．Located in Neom，a 10，000-square-mile high-tech
planned development on the Red Sea coast，The Line will be the base of MBS’s Saudi Vision
2030．The strategic plan aims to diversify Saudi Arabia’s oil-dependent economy into other fields，
like tourism，and create exciting job opportunities for its citizens．
The 105-mile-long city，expected to cost between $100 billion and $200 billion，will be built
along a straight line and comprise several self-sustaining communities．To ensure all services are
within a short，five-minute walk，each community will feature a three-layer infrastructure(基础
设施)．
There will be no cars or roads on the top“pedestrian layer”，so residents can freely walk and
bike in the surrounding green spaces．The second“service layer”，will include all essential daily
services，such as schools，medical clinics，leisure facilities，and grocery stores．The third“spine
layer”will house ultra-high-speed transportation and autonomous vehicles transporting residents
across communities in less than 20 minutes．The entire city will be powered with renewable clean
energy sources such as solar and wind，and possibly even hydrogen．
If all goes according to the plan，construction of this groundbreaking，complex infrastructure
project will start before the end of 2021．In addition to providing up to a million residents with a
clean and stress-free living environment，The Line is expected to create 380，000 new jobs，
promote economic diversification，and contribute a shocking $48 billion to Saudi Arabia’s Gross
Domestic Product(GDP)by 2030．More importantly，MBS believes it will provide governments
worldwide a blueprint for how people and planet can co-exist in harmony．
12．Where can you purchase a bike if living in The Line?
A．Pedestrian layer． B．Service layer．
C．Spine layer． D．The green spaces．
13．Which of the following can best describe the project of The Line?
A．Widely-accepted． B．Ill-considered．
C．Risk-taking． D．Mind-blowing．
14．What does MBS think is the most important effect of The Line?
A．To facilitate Saudi economic diversification．
B．To offer a model for nature-man integration．
C．To boost the government’s finances．
D．To create more job opportunities．
15．What might be the best title of the text?
A．Saudi Vision for Environmental Protection
B．The Construction of The Line Is Underway
C．MBS：An Influential Leader of Saudi Arabia
D．MB S’Vision of a Futuristic Zero Carbon City

An effective team defines(定义)its own success．It becomes the backbone of any organization’
s positive growth and development． 16 Here is the answer．
Putting a plan into action requires a team to complete multiple tasks and then achieve the set
goal．For a team to know its agenda and direction，it needs its leader．However，a leader may not
always be on the right track．In such a case，a good team player is the one who tables opinions in
an effective manner，making the point well understood and not just voiced．17
Good team players enjoy working with their teammates．They are not merely willing to share
the knowledge they have ， learn from someone ’ s experience and add to their pool of
information ． 18 They take the initiative to keep other members informed about the latest
developments and motivate the rest of the team，if the need arises．
Good and active listeners are significant in a team．19 Good listening skills mean the ability
to absorb，comprehend，analyze，and consider points or working methods．Even when a member
explodes with anger，being calm makes them good team players，as opposed to those who would
act defensively．
20 They are committed to their common work and make efforts to overcome difficulties，
sharing workload，working extra shifts and burning some midnight oil．They just do whatever it
takes to meet a deadline，never sitting passively waiting for opportunities or work to walk up to
them．
Essentially，these qualities define a good team player．Winning as a team is more important
than individual honors，as that is what will define an individual as a true winner．
A．Is teamwork that essential?
B．But what makes a good team player?
C．Good team players fill their leisure time with fun．
D．They also show strong interest in the assigned projects．
E．Good team players play an active role in taking up challenges．
F．After all，how is it possible for a team to function if everyone keeps talking?
G．Thus constructive communication is a basic factor for being a good team player．

18-year-old Sadiya was born in Deora，a small village in eastern India，but moved to the city
of Mumbai when she was 3．In 2020，when the pandemic(疫情)broke out，her father’s small
business was forced to close temporarily and the family returned to her ancestral village to wait
out the pandemic．
However，it greatly shocked her when she found that attending school was uncommon in Deora，
where almost half of the villagers couldn’t read．Unable to afford textbooks，many families often
withdrew their children from schools．They didn’t wish to educate their children，many of whom had
to work in the fields with parents though some had the desire to read．
Sadiya，the college girl with a strong sense of social responsibility，has been trying to seize
opportunities to open doors for others．Fluent in Hindi，Urdu，and English，she often speaks at
inter-college events on the right to education and enjoys a high reputation among college students．
Used to taking on challenges，Sadiya was determined to do something for the children．One
day last July ， Sadiya sat down with her family elders and proposed the idea of setting up a
library”．Many shook their heads in disagreement—this wasn’t how a young girl should spend her
time．
After many discussions，Sadiya finally convinced them and gained access to her relative’s
guesthouse，mending it with $67 that she’d won in public-speaking awards．She took the help of
her uncle，Akbar，and cousin，Nawaz，and got to work．Walls were repainted，the bamboo roof
was repaired and lights and bookshelves were fixed，and the room was filled with chairs and a
long table．Vivid charts stuck on the walls—from anatomy(解剖)to transportation，lightened the
space．Looking at the newly-decorated“library”，Sadiya couldn’t hold back her excitement while

them.Looking at lines of young green vegetables，the teacher cheerfully said we'd

But these books were far from enough.To ensure children get access to more
books ，Sadiya took pictures of the library and uploaded them online，calling on
students to donate books to the children library.Before long，hundreds of new and
secondhand books poured in，but they needed checking，classifying and arranging in
order on the shelves，which took Sadiya，her uncle and cousin a whole week.Tired as
Sadiya was，a smile lit up her face when she pictured the scene where children were
buried in reading by the book-filled shelves.
With everything ready ， the library finally opened.Several children stepped in
curiously ， asking Sadiya ，"Can we read the books ？ ”"Sure.Welcome！”Sadiya
encouraged them.Some chose what they liked，while others hesitated.Realizing they
had trouble reading，Sadiya gathered them in a corner，teaching them from the very
beginning.Soon more children joined in.Every night Sadiya spared some time to give
lessons so that more children could gain knowledge from the books.Sadiya's efforts
opened the wisdom door for them，which would surely make a great difference to
their lives.
