When you think about who's responsible for a city's safety,what people come to mind?
Police officers,firefighters or emergency response teams?Would you put your local
meteorologist(气象预报员)in this group?That's the career Ashley Ruiz chose,and she'snow
the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge,Louisiana.Ruiz predicts the weather for
her community.
In 2020,a tornado hit Ruiz's hometown of Chattanooga,Tennesseeand,even closer to
home,her house.So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be.
However,her job isn't without difficulties."Hearing people have been injured,like in a
big hurricane,is really hard,"she said."We try our best to predict the weather as best as we
can,and we are getting better.But it can always change.
Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns.She said,"We are absolutely
seeing changes in weather,with more intense and more frequent storms,which relate to
climate change."Weather is changing everywhere,as the planet warms.There are more frequent
droughts,stronger storms,and increasing temperature changes.This makes predicting the
weather difficult.
Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world.But her path to
a career in meteorology wasn't easy.She said,"I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up.
But I kept pushing and working hard,and now I'm the first woman chief meteorologist in the
Baton Rouge TV market.I'm proud of that."She wants kids to know they should never give
up on their education or their dreams.

People who have trouble walking often have a hard time enjoying the beach.But hundreds
of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by
themselves.It's called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp()that can smoothly carry a disabled
person into the sea.Once in the sea,the person can either remain in the chair,enjoying the
water or go for a swim.The Seatrac system can also help anyone else who has a hard time
walking,including older people and pregnant women.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece.The idea for it came when one of the
inventors,Ignatios Fotiou,was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair.The friend said
he enjoyed the sea,but didn't like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a sack()
of potatoes.
Mr.Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get
into the water.Mr.Fotiou worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to
design the system.In time,they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell it.
The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run.A
wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac.The system is solar-powered.
It doesn't require outside power and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out.The
Seatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.
This summer,the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece,Cyprus,
Italy and Latvia.TOBEA hopes to offer Seatrac in other countries soon.
The Seatrac service in Greece is being offered for free.The Greek government has helped
pay for it,with local cities buying and managing the equipment.Greece's government hopes
that Seatrac will help attract more tourists to the country.
28.Who is Seatrac designed for?
A.Older people who move freely.
B.Youths who like to swim in the sea.
C.Women who enjoy beach baths with their children.
D.People who have trouble moving around on the beach.
29.What does the underlined word "it"in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The system.
B.Potato.
C.Ramp.
D.Normal wheelchair.
30.What can we learn about the Seatrac system?
A.It's not easy to operate.
B.Users don't have to worry about charging it.
C.People need to have a big cost to use it in Greece.
D.It has been available at more than one thousand beaches.

31.Why does the Greek government help pay for the Seatrac service?
A.To improve the government's image.
B.To promote the development of tourism.
C.To set up an organization for the disabled.
D.To support small and medium-sized local companies.
D
In late June,the US government agreed to allow two companies,Upside Foods and Good
Meat,to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a laboratory.That makes the US the
second country to approve lab-grown chicken.
Unlike normal chicken meat,lab-grown meat isn't created by raising and killing chickens.
Instead,it's a meat product developed from animal cells that are grown in a lab.So it is also
called“cell-based'”or“cultured”meat.
The process of creating lab-grown meat is completely different from the nommal meat-raising
process.The first cells come from live animals.The cells are grown inside large steel tanks,
where they're fed with everything they need to grow.In a few weeks,the cells grow to look
like normal meat.The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes.
The companies say that their meat is better for the environment than meat from animals.
Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water.It also creates a lot of
pollution.Raising animals for food creates about 15%of the world's greenhouse gases.That's
why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change.Lab-grown
meat can also help out in other ways.Raising animals for food is extremely hard on animals.
They are often kept in small spaces and are treated badly.
Polls()have shown that many people aren't too interested in lab-grown meat.
Lots of people believe that it just sounds weird.But Amy Chen,who works for Upside
Foods,says that once people try the meat,"The most common response we get is,'Oh,it
tastes like chicken.'"
But right now,the meat is far more expensive than meat from animals.Even though the
companies have been approved,they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more
meat far more cheaply.
32.What can we know about lab-grown chicken meat?
A.It is created from animal cells in a laboratory.
B.It is cheaper than the normal meat.
C.America is the first country to approve selling it.
D.Two companies are allowed to do research on it.
33.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.The necessity of eating normal meat.
B.The process of creating lab-grown meat.
C.The disadvantages of raising animals for food.
D.The similarities between lab-grown meat and normal meat.
34.What does the underlined word "weird"in paragraph 6 mean?
A.Easy.
B.Ordinary.
C.Strange.
D.Attractive.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.Lab-grown Meat Is Outdated
B.What Exactly Is Lab-grown Meat?
C.How Is the Lab-grown Chicken Made?
D.Lab-grown Chicken Meat Is Coming

Getting work done,meeting deadlines and being productive 100%of the time is difficult
for everyone.36.Luckily,here are several ways you can improve your time management skills.
Create a daily schedule to organize tasks.
Use a calendar or a piece of paper for scheduling.Map out exactly how you want to use
your time each day,leaving nothing out of your schedule.37.For example,start your
schedule with something like,"7:30 AM-8:00 AM:Wake up and eat breakfast."
38-
It's hard to get things done when you're doing too many things at once.As you cross
things off your to-do list,keep your mind focused on the task at hand.Shut out thoughts
about your other responsibilities and avoid going back and forth between unrelated duties.
Take short breaks so you don't burn out.
You can't work or be productive 24 hours a day.Schedule breaks throughout your day to
give yourself some time to rest and relax.A break allows you to recharge and come back to a
task with a fresh viewpoint.39,like drawing a picture,playing the guitar,or playing a
game of chess on your phone.
Say no to extra projects if your plate is full.
40.Be realistic when agreeing to new responsibilities,keeping what you have to get
done already in mind.For example,if your schedule is fully booked with classes and soccer
practice during the school week,it may not be the best time to join another club.
A.Concentrate on one task at a time
B.Set clear and measurable weekly goals
C.You don't have to feel bad about relaxing
D.It's easy to take on more than you can finish
E.It's even harder if you struggle with time management
F.Include how much time you would like to spend on each task
G.Try to do something on your break that is unrelated to your task

This was the first time I'd formally let my son Charlie try to do something on his own.At
six years old,he was always eager to prove he was a "big kid".Whenever I encouraged him to
try small tasks like ordering food,his bright eyes would light up with excitement.
On a sunny afternoon,we passed a corner cafe,and he suddenly said he wanted some
water.I took a deep breath,fighting the desire to get it for him,and nodded,signaling he
should go to the counter himself.I watched as he straightened his small body,slowly let go of
the edge of his shirt,and took slightly hesitant steps forward-like a young bird gathering the
courage to fly for the first time.
He stopped at the counter,small hands holding the cold surface tightly and tiptoes
reaching as high as they could go.For the first few minutes,he looked back at me from time
to time,smiling with pride,his eyes saying,"Look how good I am."But just then,a woman
talking on her phone pushed through the door,walked straight to his side,and didn't even
notice the little figure beside her.A moment later,a coffee shop worker,finally free from the
rush,started to approach-when the woman suddenly stepped forward and quickly placed her order.
Sitting at a corner table,I felt my heart jump into my throat().I saw my son turn to
the woman,saying something so softly that it was hard to hear.The woman lowered her
phone,eyes widening as she really saw him for the first time."Oh,honey,I'm so sorry,"she
said,stepping back."You were here first.Go ahead."Her voice softened,carrying real regret.
