“All animal products contain much more concentrated levels of pesticides
residue (杀虫剂残留) than either vegetables or grains. Red meat, chicken and fish
contain no beneficial carbonhydrates (碳水化合物), fiber...
“Fish contain far more heavy metals and industrial pollutants than land
animals...
“There is a common misconception that vegetarians have limited food choices.
Just the opposite is true. Vegetarians commonly eat a wider variety of foods than
most meat eaters.”
―“Vegetarian FAQ”, North
American
Vegetarian Society
“The more I got educated about cruel treatment, it really was a no-brainer to
become a vegetarian. You know, no one would barbecue their family dog. You know,
a pig or a chicken isn’t different. They are just as gentle as a dog or a cat...”
—Public service announcement,
Mike Ness
“I’m not a vegetarian because I enjoy eating meat. Meat is nutritious food,
and I believe there are ways to eat meat that are in keeping with my environmental
and ethical (道德的) values. I don’t make the decision to eat meat lightly.
Meat-eating has always been a messy business, shadowed by the shame of killing...
“I have a sincere respect for vegetarians, for they have actually done the work
of thinking through the consequences of their eating decisions, something most of
the rest of us have not done. My own examination of those consequences has led me

to the conclusion that eating a small amount of meat from certain kinds of farms
is something I can feel good about.”
―“Animal Welfare: FAQ &
Useful
Links”, Michael
Pollan
“The centerpiece of a truly healthy diet must be animal foods. That means a
large part of meat, seafood, eggs or raw dairy at just about every meal. That is
how one recovers from vegetarianism and builds lasting health and strength.”

I was watching
Family Feud
a few years ago when they asked something like
“What’s one thing you want your pilot to be?” And one of the answers was “A man.”

Yes, I was upset, but that just inspired me more. It’s rare enough to see women
pilots — for the first two years of my flight training classes, I was the only female
student — and even more unusual to see a pilot who’s a woman of color. Black women
make up about 7 percent of the U.S. population, but less than 1 percent of pilots.
And of course, most of them are a bit older than I am. I just graduated from high
school in May.
My mom is crazy about aviation (航空), so she always took me to air shows when
I was younger. We’d watch the Thunderbirds or Blue Angles, and I’d get pilots’
autographs (亲笔签名). With her encouragement, I started taking lessons after I
turned 12. Friends would ask me to hang out, and I’d say, “Sorry, I have a flight”
— they’d look at me as if I had four heads. But the air felt like where I was supposed
to be.
Flying is amazing for many reasons. You can see the beauty only from above and
visit impressive places. But to me, one of the coolest things is being in charge
of the plane and holding the controls. I plan to fly the big jets as an airline
transport pilot, which means doing lots of ground training, banking 1,500 hours of
flight time, and earning a bunch of certificates.
On my first plane ride when I was 4, the flight attendants (乘务员) gave me
a little pin with wings. We took a picture of me standing next to the captain. Who
would have guessed that someday I’d be sitting in his seat?
4. Why did the author feel upset after hearing the answer?
A. It was too simple. B. It dealt with racial differences.
D. It was prejudiced against C. It talked about pilots negatively.
women.
5. What does the author say about black women?
A. They are uncommon sights in flight training classes.
B. They make up 7 percent of the U.S. pilots.
C. Most of them are high school graduates.
D. Few of them are interested in aviation.
6. What’s the author’s mom’s attitude to her becoming a pilot?

Disapproving.
B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D.
7. What happened when the author was four years old?
A. She sat in a captain’s seat.

B. She had a hard plane ride.
D. She helped some flight attendants.
When you go to the doctor, you receive a diagnosis (诊断) and a treatment.
However, with the continued use of technology in healthcare, the process of
diagnosing and treating patients has been changing.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help doctors analyze a patient’s
symptoms and offer the best treatment. With new advancements in medical technology,
it makes receiving medical care faster and more accurate. Technology companies
provide the data analyzing tools that are necessary to analyze the efficiency (效
率) of the healthcare system, which makes the care more efficient and improves the
quality of care. Technology is also being used to help patients achieve their health
goals as well as help patients when doctors are not present. Patients can rely on
apps, trackers, and programs to remind them to have themselves checked, track their
symptoms or call for help.
In the United States, the creation of AI technology has done better than that
of other countries. However, compared to some countries like Canada, the United
States has failed in using AI in its healthcare system. The reality is that AI is
not used in medical care because of the high costs and the insurance barriers. It
is the private healthcare system that puts all the costs on consumers of healthcare.
Undoubtedly, using more technology in healthcare can be better for the system.
It can improve efficiency, limit errors, and cut down waiting time. But the high
cost of creating this technology can make it difficult to provide service in every
hospital and healthcare clinic in the United States. It also changes the practice
of medicine, making it less personal and more about the technology. Doctors wouldn’t
have to rely on their own knowledge and skill but could turn to robots and computers
for help or use better equipment to help them perform a procedure.

As the medical field continues to change, so will the technology that is used
in the medical field, making receiving medical care a highly computerized process
that could improve the health of the population.

Along with my co-founder, I run Harry’s, a men’s grooming (美容) company. And
my wife Lacey is a senior writer and editor at
The Hollywood Reporter
. Our careers
are important to us. So we always agreed that when it came time to build our family,
we wanted to co-parent. In theory, it sounded like a lot of fun.
So far it has been. But as I’ve learned since the birth of my not theoretical
daughter, Chloe, it’s also really hard.
To be clear, becoming a parent is much, much harder for my wife. But Lacey does
have one thing that I’ve struggled to find: a space to talk about balancing work
with parenthood. Due in part to the physical, mental, and emotional tolls (损伤)

C. Cautious. D. Uninterested.
of pregnancy and childbirth, moms often find community in those shared experiences.
In addition, there are blogs, books, and resources for mothers returning to work;
for better or for worse, the demands of raising a baby are often assumed by women.
But there are plenty of working dads out there, too. In fact, I feel if I’m
struggling with this whole ‘working dad’ thing, then other guys must be struggling,
too. If I’m craving a space to share experiences and normalize true co-parenthood,
I have to believe I’m not the only one.
Dealing with the problem at a macro (大的) level is hard. But I do have the power
to make real change within Harry’s. My co-founder and I want to make sure that
everyone on our team feels 100% supported, as employees and as parents. To that end,
we’re excited to offer a new, progressive policy: 16 weeks of paid parental leave,
taken any time within the first year, to every person on our team.
Some people might decide to take the full 4 months and others won’t. That’s
OK. The goal is not to dictate right or wrong, but to offer our team real flexibility
and control. Because all parents deserve the resources and tools to make the best
decisions for their families; to be great coworkers, and also great parents.
12. What is bothering the author?

People elect a mayor (市长) to help run a city in the United States. The mayor
must keep track of all city activities. 16 They run the city government with
the help from city council (市议会).
Mayors may be “weak” or “strong.” In cities that use a weak-mayor system,
the city council has most of the power. Under this system, people elect council
members and leaders of some departments, or city offices. 17 A city may have
many boards and committees, which are groups that make decisions. Each group manages
one city department. Although people elect the mayor, he or she has little power.
The weak mayor may suggest leaders for city departments. However, the council must
approve these suggestions.
In a strong-mayor system, the elected mayor chooses the leaders of each
department. 18 The elected city council doesn’t have the power to approve the
leaders that the mayor chooses. Strong mayors check the work of many different city
departments. These departments plan the way that the city will grow and develop.
A strong mayor prepares the city budget. 19 Citizens know whom to blame if
services fail. However, the mayor works with the council to figure out the needs
of the city and to complete city projects.
Strong mayors have a great deal of control over the government of a city. 20
Most cities have written city charter (章程) that explains the duties of the mayor
and other officials.
A. However, mayors do not work alone.
B. However, they must stay within the law.
C. The council never prepares the city budget.
