A


An Oceans Vacuum
There
’
s
a
collection
of
plastic
trash
in
the
middle
of
the
Pacific
Ocean.
It
’
s
bigger
than
Texas-and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow.
Instead,
the
Ocean
Cleanup
Project
proposes
62-mile-long
floating
barriers
that
would
use
natural currents to trap trash. If next year
’
s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to
start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.


Easy-On Shoes

In 2012, Mathew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike.
“
My
dream is o go to college,
”
he wrote,
“
without having to worry about someone coming to tie my
shoes every day.
”
Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with
their
solution:
the
FlyEase. The
basketball
shoe
can
be
fastened
with
one
hand. A
pair
of Nike
FlyEase shoes sells for $$130.

I grew up in a troubled home in the 1970s, on the outskirts of downtown Orlando, Florida.
Not far away, a three-story house attracted my eyes.

It was nothing like the one I lived in with my mother, a small dark place with rules about
befriending others.
“
Don
’
t. Never, ever talk to anyone,
”
my mother said.

One
day,
in
sixth
grade,
a
black-haired
woman
was
introduced
to
our
class:
Mrs.
Reese.
Reese
explained
that
she
was
starting
Spanish
Club.
She
invited
anyone
interested
in
learning
Spanish language and culture to stay after school.

I could not take my eyes off her bracelets(
手镯
) and shining rings. The bell rang, and to my
shock, no one went up to Mrs. Reese. I was under strict orders to go straight home. But that day, I
stayed. I asked Mrs. Reese when the club started.

“
We
could
begin
right
now
if
you
like,
”

she
said
with
a
smile.
I
felt
beautiful.
That
day
I
learned that the house of my dreams was her house. I learned how to answer questions about
my age and my favorite food in Spanish. And I learned, Do you want to come over tomorrow for
cooking lessons?


I wanted to say
“
Yes
”
, but Mom
’
s words held me back.
I begged my mother all summer and into fall, well after Spanish Club had dissolved. I wept at
night sometimes, so worried that Mrs. Reese and her family would move away.

At some point, I managed to wear my mother down and one Saturday afternoon. I rode out
to Mrs. Reese
’
s house.

The details of that afternoon are marked in my mind: We had tea. She painted my toenails
red.
We
made
a
garlicky
picadillo.
We
spoke
in
Spanish.
In
Spanish,
my
voice
was
loud
and
romantic. This is the real me! I remember thinking.

My mother never permitted me another visit to Mrs. Reese
’
s house. But four decades later, I
still remember that day and the life she showed me, proof of a possible future.

English is full of colorful phrases to describe shyness. Someone shy might be called shrinking
violet
or
a wallflower,
while
for especially
nervous
types
we
have
the
curious expression:
they
wouldn
’
t say boo to a goose.

None
of
these
are
traditionally
seen
as
positive
descriptions,
even
if
you
like
geese.
In
a
culture
of
go- getting,
high
achievers,
shy
people
don’t
come
first.

Or
that's
what
the
self-help
industry
would
have
you
believe.
Bookshops
are
filled
with
vital
tomes(
巨著
)
that
promise
to
help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking
Violets:
A
Field
Guide
to
Shyness,
bucks
the
trend.
It
became
a
sudden
success
across
English- language media recently for its new take-on shyness.

Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his
life, being shy can also be
social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.

Indeed,
many
of
the
world's
great
thinkers
and
artists
are
introverts(
内向的人
).
Scientists
Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often
finds herself tongue- tied at parties; and Harry Potter author JK Rowling claims she used to be too
nervous to even borrow a pen.

Moran
told
BBC
Future:

think
shyness
probably
does
turn
you
into
an
amateur
anthropologist(
人类学家
), really-you are more likely to be an observer.


So, while extroverts make all the noise, they don't necessarily have the best ideas.
If you're shy, you've probably known this for a long time. You just don't shout about it.
someone is being called a wallflower, he is being




.


A. praised for his grace












B. admired for his character
D. told off for his nervousness
C. laughed at for his shyness

underlined phrase
“
bucks the trend
”
in Paragraph 2 probably means
”





”
.








A. going against the trend and succeeds
B. changing the public idea completely
C. becoming unpopular and unaccepted
D. becoming the major concern of people
author mentioned many famous shy people in order to




.




A. point out the harm shyness brings
B. disconnect shyness and success
C. shows the reasons for shyness
D. prove shyness contributes to science
is the author
’
s attitude towards shyness?

A. Opposed



B. Indifferent



C. Supportive



D.
Critical

Frigatebirds seagoing fliers with a 6-foot wingspan, can stay aloft(up in the air) for weeks at a
time, a new study has found.

Since the frigatebird spends most of its life at sea, its habits outside of when it reproduces
on
land
aren
’
t
well-known-until
researchers
started
tracking
them
around
the
Indian
Ocean.
What the researchers discovered is that the bird
’
s flying ability is unbelievable.

Ornithologist(
鸟类学家
) Henri Weimerskirch put satellite tage(
标签
) on a couple of dozen
frigatebirds. When the data started to come in, he could hardly believe how high the birds flew.


we
found,
'Whoa,
1,500
meters.
Excellent,'

says
Weimerskirch,

after
2,000,
after
3,000,
after
4,000
meters-OK,
at
this
altitude
they
are
in
freezing
conditions,
especially
surprising for a tropical bird.


that is known to intentionally enter into a cloud,
soft,
white
cumulus
cloud(
积云
).
Over
the
ocean,
these
clouds
tend
to
form
in
places
where
warm air rises from the sea surface. The birds take a ride on the current of rising air, all the way
up to the top of the cloud.

Frigatebirds have to find ways to stay aloft because they can't land on the water. Since their
feathers aren't waterproof, the birds would drown in short order. They feed by harassing other
birds
in
flight
until
they
bring
whatever
fish
they've
swallowed
back
into
their
mouth
and
the
frigatebird takes it.



So in between meals, frigatebirds fly higher... and higher.
In one case, for two months- continuously aloft.
One of the tagged birds flew 40 miles without a wing-flap. Several covered more than 300
miles a day on average, and flew continuously for weeks. They are blessed with an unusual body.




No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.
did researchers feel when data about frigatebirds reached them?

A. Calm




B. Surprised



C. Hopeful



D.
Anxious
ing to the text, how can frigatebirds fly so high?




A. By flying into a cloud
B. With the help of researchers
C. Thanks to advanced technology
D. By following other birds into the sky
does the underlined word
”
they
”
in the text refer to?

A. Frigatebirds

B. Other birds



C. Small fish



D.
Larger fish
what aspect are frigatebirds different from other birds?


A. When they give birth

C. Their body weight













B. What they feed on
D. Their wing surface area

How to Build a Student

confidence isn’t built from

out
their
