As Eline reached the top of Mount Langley, a 14, 000-foot mountain in California's Eastern Sierra Nevada, she could feel the soft sand under her feet and hear the enveloping silence of the wonderful mountain. But she couldn't see a thing.
Born almost completely blind, Eline is among a growing number of outdoor-adventure athletes who refused to let disabilities reduce them to onlookers. She had a strong desire to take part in outdoor activities when she was very young. Unfortunately, her early efforts to fit in with the other kids didn't go well. While she experienced countless failures, she faced up to them
When it comes to her final success in outdoor sports, it is all credited to her doctor who is expert in instructing blind runners. Impressed by Eline's love for adventure, the doctor recommended her to join a half-marathon. Eline had never run more than 4 or 5 miles at that point. She worried about making a fool of herself or wasting her doctor's time. “Don't worry, "he assured her. "If we have to walk the last few miles, it's no big deal. ”
Eline ran every step of that race and won her division. It was her first taste of athletic success and a turning point. Since then, she has traveled the globe, blowing away most of her visually impaired (视觉障碍的) competition in 47 marathons, from New York to Athens to Barcelona. In 2015, she won her division in the Boston Marathon, one of the most celebrated and competitive races in the world.
Marathons had become sort of Eline's routine, but climbing a 14, 000-foot mountain was so wildly out of her comfort zone that it brought back the butterflies she felt in her stomach before that first half-marathon more than a decade ago. Now, she made it. The change was just as meaningful. “Life can be scary, but fear doesn't help, "she said. "Being blind creates hardships other athletes don't face, but it also brings out extraordinary grace and generosity(大方). ”
1. What can we learn about Eline from the first two paragraphs?
A. She got along well with others.
B. She had a strong determination.
C. Her dream gave in to disabilities.
D. Her blindness resulted from climbing.
2. What has contributed to Eline's success according to paragraph 3?
A. Her tireless efforts.
B. Her love for adventure.
C. Her families’ support and company.
D. Her doctor's guidance and encouragement.
3. Why does the author mention Boston Marathon in paragraph 4?
A. To popularize a famous event. B. To promote Eline's sportsmanship.
C. To show Eline's achievements. D. To praise visually impaired athletes.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Blind Courage B. Narrow Success
C. A Challenging Climb D. An Eventful Adventure
B
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employees over 50 make up more than one-third of the workforce in the United States. And the labor force aged 75 and older is expected to increase by 96. 5%by 2030. As the workforce ages and increasing numbers of grandparents care for their grandchildren, what once was intended for new parents is now applied to grandparents. Some workplaces are offering a new paid leave policy(政策)for older workers—grandternity leave.
As the name suggests, one of the most popular use cases for grandternity leave is employees taking time off when they become grandparents to help care for their grandchildren. It also enables employees to take paid leave to deal with medical treatment, spend time with their families, and take time away from work as needed.
In a competitive labor market with more than 10 million open jobs, employers still struggle to retain senior employees. They fall under the Baby Boomer generation and are characterized by their deep love for work and company responsibility. They are prized for their historical knowledge and old-fashioned work ethic(职业道德). Therefore, employers are seeking new, nontraditional benefits for these employees to prevent them from taking another job. Grandternity leave is just one example of personalized benefits suitable for older workers.
A handful of companies are already starting to offer their own form of grandternity leave. For example, Saga has rolled out a five-day paid grandternity leave to its 2, 500 employees. Scott Merry, a 57-year-old IT specialist with Saga took grandternity leave to care for his new-born grandson. “It was just wonderful. It's nice to work in this type of culture which values family time. "he said. Another company that became an early adopter (使用者) is HireVue. “Attracting and employing a various workforce should be top of mind for any organization, ”said one of HireVue's managers. “Offering a variety of benefits like grandternity leave is key to that. ”
5. What does paragraph 1 focus on about the policy?
A. Its application. B. Its influences. C. Its limitations. D. Its background.
6. What does the underlined word “retain” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Cut down. B. Kick out. C. Hold onto. D. Pay for.
7. What can be inferred about Grandternity leave from the last paragraph?
A. It is a win-win practice. B. It has been adopted widely.
C. It has a two-sided nature. D. It is key to business success.
8. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a new paid leave.
B. To call for better working conditions.
C. To recommend several leading companies.
D. To warn of the effect of population ageing.
