According to a recent survey, the     1     (major) of doctors believed their incomes did not match     2     hard they worked. The survey found that about 50 percent of the doctors were not satisfied with their working     3     (condition), especially those     4     worked in hospitals in small towns.

A physician     5     (work) in a large public hospital often has to see 100 patients per day. The researchers conducting the survey     6     (conclude) that, if hospitals and clinics serving the general public received more support, it would help to keep their medical staff     7     leaving the profession, and therefore the public would continue to receive good health services.

In     8     (respond) to a question about tensions between doctors and patients, some respondents complained that misleading media reports about doctors have     9     (great) harmed society,     10     (cause) the public to distrust medical workers.

4 . After Hurricane Maria swept through Puerto Rico in 2017 and caused huge damage, researchers found rhesus macaques, a species of monkey living on Cayo Santiago, became more sociable with each other, according to a study published in the journal Current Biology.

“The monkeys live in a highly competitive society and can become aggressively protective over resources like food and water,” said study author Camille Testard, a professor of neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine. “That’s why researchers predicted that after the hurricane, the monkeys would stick with their closest friends in order to survive,” Testard said. Instead, the island’s residents became more tolerant of each other and greatly expanded their friend group.

“To measure the monkeys’ socialization and friendship-building, researchers tracked who they groomed (梳毛), which is one of the ways monkeys bond with one another,” Testard said. “It serves a similar function for us to getting coffee or a beer with friends,” she added. After the hurricane, the “grooming networks” became denser, Testard said, meaning there were more connections being formed compared to the monkeys’ behavior before the storm. The scientists found the animals made friends with friends of their friends, which she said is a common “easy” route to making friends that’s mirrored in human social circles.

The researchers didn’t know why the monkeys decided to make more friends, but Testard assumed it could be “a strategy to gain tolerance and support from the greatest number of individuals and thereby access to limited resources like shade.”

The monkeys could be forming additional bonds to “buffer” them from future hardship from the natural disaster, said Brenda MeCowan, a professor of population health and reproduction, who was not involved in the study. She said the findings also provide an insight into how humans might cope with the increasing threat of climate crisis. “Rhesus macaques are close evolutionary relatives to humans and share many features of their biology and behavior with us, ”said McCowan. “Our best friends can give us many things, but sometimes, what we need is a social network where everyone is just friendly enough.”

5 . If you want to travel on holiday, the very first question you must ask is, “How much is it going to cost?” With little money, you are not going to get very far.     1     Local transport is used, and sleeping is done in tents(帐篷) or not expensive hotels.

However, it seems that many young people have found a different way to see the world. They usually come from a western country and are from well-off families. They pay for a flight from their home to an Asian country, and then try to beg for money once they arrive.     2     It’s become so popular; it has been given its own name: begpacking. It’s a cross between “begging” and “backpacking”.

It is now quite usual to see begpackers sitting on the streets in some of Asia’s popular shopping districts.    3         “I am travelling around Asia without money. Please support my trip.”

In many Asian countries, poverty is never far away. Citizens of popular holiday destinations are asking why visitors arrive on their streets and expect the locals to pay for their travels. When these locals want to travel to a western country, they have to prove that they have enough money to travel.     4    

There have been recent reports that some countries are beginning to tire of begpackers. A law was passed in Thailand recently. The local government can now take action against any foreigner begging on the street.     5     There, western begpackers are taken by the local police to their foreign embassy. And then they are returned to their home.

6 . The mall(购物商场)is increasingly the exception. Dozens nationwide have fallen into disuse in the past decade, and a quarter of the around 1,100 -that remain are projected to follow by 2022, leaving large areas of empty space.

“We built too many malls, and we built them too cheaply,” said Amanda Nicholson, a professor at Syracuse University. “Only the strong will survive, while the weaker ones fold.”

After losing three of its four anchor(主力)department stores, the country’s oldest shopping mall was in need of new life. Southdale Center in Edina, Minnesota, is getting it this month in the form of a Life Time “resort(度假胜地),” complete with a rooftop pool and beach club. The new gym—which also has a full-service spa—will take the place of a former J. C. Penney store. Life Time is spending $43 million building the three-story facility.

“Malls have become a great opportunity for growth,” said Parham Javaheri, president of Life Time. “They have great visibility, great access and many of them have been around for a long time, so they’re located at the center of offices and homes.”

Fitness centers and gyms now lease(租用)three times as much space in US shopping malls 12 as they did a decade ago. Chains such as Planet Fitness, SoulCycle and Life Time have become coveted because they draw a lot of rich members who stop in a few times a week. Life Time now has country club-like locations at malls around the country and plans to open more than 30 more mall gyms in the coming years. Each gym attracts about 3,000 people a day, Javaheri said, which amounts to “a lot of consumers”.

Other cities have been even more creative with empty mall space. Simon Property Group, the country’s largest mall owner, recently spent $5 million on Allied Esports and announced plans to create 200 mall gaming rooms for competitive video gaming events across the country. “We believe focusing on gameplay will drive traffic and excitement for our properties,” said Lee Sterling, a senior vice president at Simon.

7 . The Bad of Online Communication

Today, online services and products are where most development in communication is happening.     1    However, giving online also has a dark side. Some people spend so much time on the Internet that they become totally dependent on it. Psychologists and social scientists worry that if people spend more time with computers than with other people,     2     What happens if Internet addicts forget the rules for normal social behaviour simply from lack of practice? Studies have not shown any definite results yet, but if young people are becoming more nervous when it comes to face-to-face meetings, there are good reasons to be concerned.

Apart from dependency, there are other objections and worries about the Internet.     3     Being open and honest with complete strangers, then arranging to meet them is very dangerous behaviour. It is especially dangerous for young children. And it is increasingly important that parents take note of their children's activities on the Internet.

    4    . As you reveal (透漏) your heart and soul, and name and number，to some trusted chat room friend, there could easily be a hacker taking your information. Some hackers could even be using your identity and password.       5     . Many people say that going online, whether for chatting or surfing the web , has improved their lives. Either way, for better or for worse, website chat rooms are here to stay in one form or another, putting in touch friends, family, and strangers alike.

8 . Just Scream! a hotline which was created by elementary school teacher whose name is Chris Gollmar aimed to reduce tension for those who need an outlet. All you had to do was call the hotline and scream as loud as you wanted.

Chris Gollmar spends his free time working on art projects that invite people to call a phone number and leave a voicemail for other people to hear. He thought that it would be funny and unique to create a phone line just for screaming，and thus he came up with the creative project in September, 2020.

After people dialed in, their calls would be recorded and then put on the website that Chris Gollmar created. “Why should 1 call you?” the website asked “To scream! You might be unhappy, terrified or frustrated. All of these are perfectly good reasons to call the hotline and scream.”

Personal phone numbers were not stored, and all calls went to an answering machine — interacting with a real person wasn’t required.

Chris Gollmar got a large number of recordings after he launched the hotline. “Never in my life would I have expected so many people to actually pick up the phone, dial a number and record themselves for the world to hear,” he said. ‘‘But we’re all screaming on the inside right now. The hotline stopped accepting calls in January, 2021. After that, Chris Gollmar said he would pick a new project to work on."

9 . I am a freshman at Orange High School. In 2013, I founded an organization called Love For The Elderly. So many elderly people have no one to care for them, and no one to love them. When I say this, I am talking about pure love, unconditional love that shows kindness no matter what the situations may be.

The elderly have smoothed the pathway of success for our generation. They should be shown appreciation (感激) and kindness, but are often forgotten. I am sure all of you have someone in your hearts who has been at a nursing home. Think of them while I say this; they should get the best, nothing but the best. The elderly are such an unusual group of people, and their shining wisdom can most certainly be learned from. This idea of showing appreciation to the elderly reverberated (回响) inside my head, until finally, I decided it was time to step up and make a difference.

My love for and ability in writing led me to create an organization, where people from all across the world send nameless letters filled with kindness and joy, from Iceland, Romania, Finland, Australia, and more. I then send these letters to senior centers, and nursing homes located all across the country. To this date, I have collected over 1,000 letters, and the reaction I have received from these organizations has been truly unbelievable.

This past month, I had the opportunity to receive $100 from KindSpring through their monthly kindness competition to help my organization. This money has been of great help. We do not receive much money, and so it helped to pay for many costs, including postage and envelopes. This act of kindness has been very helpful to my organization, and I could not be more appreciative. If any of you would like to get involved in my organization, please visit lovefortheelderly. org.

10 . Moving back home is a reality for a lot of adults right now and the trend is increasing for a lot of reasons, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic and economic trouble.

A recent study offers insight into how adults can navigate the often embarrassing experience of moving back in with their parents. Researchers conducted this study to learn more about how adults who move back in with their parents manage that process, how they think about it and how they talk about it. Researchers think the findings are valuable because they provide some guidelines that people can use to help ensure that moving back home is a step forward instead of a step backward.

For this study, researchers conducted in-depth interviews with 31 adults between the ages of 22 and 31. And the findings were straightforward. On one hand, study participants were certainly aware of the stigma associated with moving back in with one’s parents as an adult though both parents and their grown children may give and expect respect in their relationships. However, it was equally clear that making the decision to move back in with one’s parents as an investment in the future helped people think about the decision in a positive way and communicate about it in a positive way.

Specifically, the researchers find there are four things people should do to make moving back home a positive experience for themselves and their parents:

●Communicate clear expectations. For example, do the children pay rent? Are they expected to be home by a certain time each evening?

●Contribute to the household. Grown children should be made clear what they will do to benefit the larger household, such as attending to housework.

●Lay out intended timelines. The people moving back home should think out how long they will be living with their parents, what their career and financial goals are, and how living with their parents will help them achieve those goals.

●Embody (表现) adult behavior. Adults returning home should avoid slipping into habits formed when they were children, if they want to be treated as adults.
