2 . A Portland, Oregon man has become the first person to travel across Antarctica by himself without receiving any assistance.

Colin O’Brady has completed the 1,500-kilometer trip. He crossed the continent in 54 days. Friends, family and other people followed his progress through messages and pictures he left on social media.

O’Brady spoke with his wife Jenna Besaw by telephone soon after he completed the journey. “It was an emotional call,” she said. “He seemed overwhelmed by love and appreciation, and he really wanted to say ‘thank you’ to all of us.”

The 33-year-old O’Brady documented the trip on the social networking services Instagram. He called his journey “The Impossible First”. He wrote that he traveled the last 129 kilometers in one big, final push to the finish line. The distance took over one day to complete. O’Brady wrote, “While the last 32 hours were some of the most challenging hours of my life, they have quite honestly been some of the best moments I have ever experienced.”

The day before, he wrote that he was “in the zone” and thought he could make it to the end without stopping. “I was listening to my body and taking care of the details to keep myself safe,” he wrote. “I called home and talked to my mom, sister and wife. I promised them I would stop when I need to.”

Other people have traveled across Antarctica, but they all had some form of assistance. They either had better, more plentiful supplies or devices that helped move them forward.

In 2016, British explorer Henry Worsley died in his attempt to travel alone across Antarctica unassisted. Worsley’s friend Louis Rudd, also from Britain, is attempting an unaided solo journey in Worsley’s honor. He was competing against O’Brady to be the first to do it. Besaw told the Associated Press that her husband plans to stay in Antarctica until Rudd finishes his trip.

1. What did O’Brady think of his journey in Antarctica?

A．It was pleasant.	B．It was discouraging.
C．It was impossible to complete.	D．It was hard to complete.

2. What did O’Brady promise his family?

A．Making sure of his safety.	B．Trying to achieve the goal.
C．Keeping in touch with them.	D．Stopping the travel halfway.

3. Why does O’Brady still remain in Antarctica?

A．To wait for another explorer.	B．To compete with others.
C．To help other explorers.	D．To make his victory recognized.

4. What might be a suitable title for the text?

A．The Antarctic Continent	B．The Impossible First
C．Traveling in Antarctica	D．An Incomplete Journey

We live in the countryside. Most of which we see is the beauty of nature. One of the exceptions to the beauty is the litter some people throw out their windows as they are driving on the roads. One of the few drawbacks to living in the countryside is that public service, such as litter collection, are little available than they are closer to the city.

A helping habit that my family practise regularly are picking up litter in our surrounding area. We have become so accustomed to do this that my little brother will often say, “There’s some litter. Daddy, stop the car!” and we would often pull over and pick it up. It may seem strange, and we actually enjoy it. We pick up litter in parks, on sidewalks, practically anywhere. Once I even saw a complete stranger picking up litter close to where we live in. He smiled at me and said, “I saw you doing it, and it seemed like the good idea.”

6 . After nearly a decade of being in love with yoga, I made a courageous decision. I decided that I wanted to become a yoga teacher. Meanwhile, I made a list for those who will chase or are chasing a dream.

Remember that it’s meant to challenge you.

    1    The only way that growth can occur within you is that you can find something that challenges you, and work through it. You may feel overwhelmed by challenge at some point, but the reward of achieving your dream is a way more fulfilling than never going after what you want to achieve at all.

Be careful who you ask for advice.

While chasing your dream, you will get to a point where you want to give up. You’ll question the cause of your dream and question whether you should continue.    2    Find wisdom from those who are encouraging of your dream, and who understand what it means to you.

Believe in yourself.

The only way you’ll be able to follow through with your commitment to your dream is by believing that you can do it.    3    However, their opinion only goes so far if you believe that you are capable. In addition, if you believe in yourself, when others doubt you, it isn’t worth being concerned about because you have found faith in yourself, and that’s all that matters.

    4    

It takes a lot of courage to give everything that you have to achieve a goal when it might be criticized, judged or rejected. Many see failure as an ending, when it could be a beginning of another journey that leads to your dream.

Starting trying today.

In a year, you’ll wish you’d started today what you hope to achieve. If you don’t try today, how will you feel in a year? Time passes quicker than we can sometimes grasp, and today will eventually lead to the following year.    5    

A．Be open to failure and rejection.

B．Yes, your dream needs to be big.

C．Others can tell you that you’re capable.

D．Everything begins in the heart and mind.

E．Don’t just sit around and think about what you want.

F．During this time, be cautious with where you seek advice.

G．Growth doesn’t happen by living in stability, comfort or at ease.

9 . Teenagers may not know the name Kevin Mayer, but he's about to play an outsize role in their lives.

The longtime leader of the Walt Disney Company just became the CEO of TikTok (抖音).In doing so, Mayer will lake charge of an app whose influence over a lot of people has made it one of the most influential ，although controversial(有争议的) ,platforms of the era.

Mayer has been with Disney since the early 1990s—minus a period as the CEO of Playboy.com—and he’s helped to acquire some important brands in film industry. More recently he's become known for his key role in the launch of the ll-important Disney Plus streaming service.

Mayer was thought to be among the most obvious potential successors to outgoing CEO Bob Iger, but he was passed over for Bob Chapek，who ran Disney' theme parks unit.

Mayer's departure from Disney may not be a surprise,but his move to TikTok is unexpected. The app, owned by China-based ByteDance, is at a crucial moment in its short history—seeing enormous growth during the pandemic lockdowns but facing increasing criticism over its data-collection practices. As it rises in influence ,the company will surely face a growing drumbeat of intense media and strict monitoring.

In contrast, Disney has never been more delicate, with the coronavinus pandemic having broken nearly all of its core business units, from the close down of theme parks and movie theaters to ongoing interruptions to its production schedules. Mayer，whatever else is motivating the move, is hopping( 跳) to another position at a proper time.

1. What's the text mainly about?

A．The job-hopping of a CEO.

B．The rising influence of TikTok.

C．The decline of the Walt Disney Company .

D．The intense competition between companies.

2. What's the likely reason for Mayer's departure from Disney?

A．He had been offered a higher salary

B．He wasn't qualified for his previous job.

C．He preferred a new career concerning teenagers.

D．He failed to succeed Bob Iger as a CEO of Disney.

3. What do we know about TikTok according to the text?

A．Potential but delicate.	B．Profitable but immoral.
C．Popular but controversial.	D．Professional but addictive.

4. What is the purpose of the text?

A．To advertise for Disney.	B．To report of news.
C．To recommend a new app.	D．To compare two companies.

10 . Over a cup of iced tea at the midtown Radiance Tea House&Books,whose noise is not much louder than a coffee machine's,Gregory Scott Farber,a non-practicing lawyer who works as a research analyst, described SoundPrint he created as"Yelp for noise". SoundPrint allows users to search for and grade restaurants and bars according to their sound level. "laces are getting louder,"Farber said. "People tell me thirty or forty years ago you could go somewhere to eat and expect to have a conversation. "

Farber suffers from permanent hearing loss,caused by meningitis(脑脊膜炎)which he contracted when he was a baby. Like so many great inventions,Farber's invention arose from a desire to find love-or,at least,a place to have a date. "When I was dating,I put a lot of efforts into trying to pick quiet spots,"he said. "I'd google' quiet restaurants'. Then I would show up,but it would be noisy. " His hearing aid helped,but not enough. "Out of curiosity,I started taking decibel(分贝)measurements. "He sent a list of his favorite quiet places to friends in the hearing-loss community,and soon found many requests from his normal-hearing friends.

SoundPrint includes a sound-level meter,so diners and drinkers can take measurements using their smartphones,and upload data to the database. Farber said that the app brings no profit. SoundPrint covers about two thousand cities,though only fifteen have a significant number of users. Farber recently analyzed the data from 2,376 Manhattan restaurants and bars,and the findings are not good for ears. More than 70%of the former and 90%of the latter were rated as"loud"-defined as between 76 and 80 decibels,or as noisy as an air-conditioner.

1. What does Gregory Scott Farber do for a living?

A．He sells hearing aids.

B．He develops computer programs.

C．He defends people in a court of law.

D．He makes a detailed analysis of data.

2. Why did Farber create SoundPrint?

A．Because he wanted to earn more money.

B．Because he could hear nothing without a hearing aid.

C．Because he wanted to help his friends who suffer hearing loss.

D．Because he suffered hearing loss and wanted to find a quiet place for dating.

3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．SoundPrint can be downloaded to user's phones.

B．SoundPrint can detect noise from air-conditioner.

C．SoundPrint is widely used in 2,000 American cities.

D．SoundPrints can analyze data from restaurants and bars

4. The data collected by SoundPrint showed that ______in Manhattan.

A．restaurants are noisier than bars

B．a large majority of bars are noisy

C．there are more restaurants than bars

D．all the bars are as noisy as air-conditioners
