Abisko,Sweden
Live out your Frozen-inspired Scandinavian fairy tale in northern Sweden by first staying
in the world's original Icehotel and then heading 70 miles northwest to Abisko National Park,
Sweden's top spot for the northern lights.The position of mountains on both sides of the park
creates a microclimate,gathering most clouds,rain,and snow,and creating the so-called "blue
hole over Abisko,"where the Northern Lights appear on a near-nightly basis during peak
season between September and March.
Fairbanks,Alaska
Low rainfall and an inland location contribute to countless,clear winter nights,and
excellent viewing throughout a lengthy aurora season from August 21 through April 21 in

心
It all started when she was young.Dr.Mahalaxmi Iyer always knew she wanted to be a
doctor.And once she became a doctor,she felt her work should be the kind that would leave a
mark.Though her career as a doctor certainly helped others,within 10 months,she lost both
her parents when she was in her mid-30s,which brought a sinking feeling-she had not been
able to do enough for them.
The idea that looking after other seniors would help ease the sorrow of her own losses gave
Iyer a renewed focus.She sold her home,and invested all her life's savings to start Balaji
Healthcare,a multi-speciality hospital and elder care home.The 100-bed facility that opened
its doors in 2011 with four patients has grown to accommodate 74 residents.Many of them
have illnesses which require full-time,expert care that families are unable to provide.Together
with her staff,Iyer takes care of the residents'daily healthcare needs,and other specialists
visit to aid treatment.
"I faced many barriers.But there are many people who will also offer support,"lyer says,
referring to the financial troubles she faced while setting up the facility.The difficulties only
eased by 2015 when well-wishers stepped up to support the initiative.
It doesn't run like a charity,Iyer stresses,but doesn't charge too much either,often
footing additional medical bills itself before charging the families.The model works.And we
provide patients with a warm,reliable home.
Today,a decade after the facility was set up,Iyer takes great comfort in the fact that it
isn't just providing a sense of security to residents and their families but also to the staff,most
of whom are from neighbouring villages and largely female benefiting from it.Many of them
are now able to afford two-wheelers,their own house,and better education for their children.

The age-old question of whether choice or effort holds greater significance in achieving
success has generated countless debates.While some argue that effort is the cornerstone of
achievement,others claim that the ability to make strategic choices is vital.
Effort,without a doubt,is the engine that drives progress.The saying"no pain,no gain"
rings true in countless success stories.Hard work and commitment are essential qualities that
separate those who achieve from those who merely wish.Effort is the consistent application of
willpower toward a goal,and it is this application that bridges the gap between intention and
realization.
However,the direction in which effort is applied is equally crucial,if not more so.This is
wnere choice comes into play.A person can employ maximum effort in a field,but without a
strategic choice,their efforts may produce minimal results.For instance,an individual might
work tirelessly in a declining industry,but his hard work will likely be overshadowed by the
.naustry s unavoidable downturn.On the contrary,someone who chooses a dynamic and
growing field with a passion for it can achieve remarkable success with comparatively less
eftort.The ability to make informed and strategic choices can expand the impact of effort
significantly.
A well-chosen path provides focus and motivation,making the effort more meaningful and
productive.For example,a student choosing a major that agrees with his interests and
strengths will likely put in more effort and perform better than one who is forced into a field he
dislikes.This encourages a deeper engagement.In addition,the sense of purpose generated by
pursuing a meaningful personal path often translates into greater power in the face of setbacks,
which is invaluable in both professional and personal fields.
As I see it,while effort is undoubtedly a critical factor in achieving success,the
importance of choice cannot be overstated.Effort is the vehicle,but choice is the compass
that guides it.Without a strategic direction,effort may lead to exhaustion without
accomplishment.
28.What is the role of effort in achieving success?
A.It helps establish the right goals.
B.It separates the types of success.
C.It is the motor that promotes advancement.
D.It ensures the positive attitude to hardships.

29.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Wise choices can'boost the effect of effort.
B.Declining industries should be avoided at all costs
C.Hard work guarantees success in growing industries.
D.One should pursue maximum success with minimal effort.
30.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A.Making choices is more demanding than sustaining effort.
B.People should avoid making choices to stop wasting effort.
C.Good choices contribute greatly to individual development.
D.Students are strongly recommended to choose popular majors.
31.What's the author's opinion about effort and choice?
A.Effort is the only decisive factor.B.Over-effort leads to losing direction.
C.Choice determines the level of efforts.D.Both are vital with choice guiding effort.

Flashy,high-tech proposals that promise to remove pollutants out of the sky before they
hit the atmosphere have attracted attention and investment-but are falling far short of
expectations.Now a growing number of scientists are trying a much simpler approach:
collecting truckloads of logs,branches and sawdust and burying them.
The concept of wood burial is straightforward:instead of constructing massive machines
to collect atmospheric carbon dioxide and put it miles down into the Earth,people simply shift
materials from Earth's fast-paced biological carbon cycle into the much-slower geological
的)carbon cycle.
"Every year,plants absorb six times as much carbon as our fossil (fuel release.But
almost all of that goes back into the atmosphere as leaves fall and trees die,"says Ning Zeng,
a University of Maryland climate scientist,who has been a leader in a related field for two
decades and was not involved in the new research.
However,if carbon dioxide is buried under just a few yards of dirt-where bacteria no
longer have the oxygen they need to break down wood-none or very little of it is released.If
even a small number of woody pieces that decompose aboveground each year were treated this
way,it would be easier to achieve the 10 billion tons per year of carbon that the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change agrees must be achieved by 2050 in order to keep
the planet's temperature rise to less than 2C.
Trees in logging-focused forests take up roughly 170 billion tons of carbon every year,14
billion tons of which finds its way into wood.The researchers say that all of this wood
eventually ends up being wasted in one form or another.If all this wood could be collected and
buried instead of burned or.allowed to decompose,those 14 billion tons of carbon would be
safely removed every year.And according to the research team's models,that would remove a
grand total of at least 770 billion tons from the atmosphere by 2100,turning the global
temperature down by at least 0.352 C.
32.What are the high-tech proposals like in the first paragraph?
A.Complicated but promising.
B.Less effective than expected.
C.More advanced than imagined.
D.Cost-saving and widely applied.
33.What do Ning Zeng's words show?
A.Burying wood is a way to handle the carbon problem.
B.The plant life cycle is a major contributor to carbon release.
C.Fossil fuel release is a source of carbon absorption by plants.
D.Carbon absorbed by plants is permanently stored in their bodies.
34.How does wood burial prevent carbon from being released?
A.By speeding up the biological carbon cycle.
B.By providing enough oxygen for bacteria to work.
C.By constructing massive machines to process wood.
D.By creating an oxygen-lacking environment underground.

35.What does the underlined word"that"in the last paragraph refers to?
A.The decomposition of wood aboveground.
B.The process of collecting and burning wood.
C.The research team's model about carbon reduction.
D.The action of collecting and burying all wasted wood.

With winter drawing near,people may be turning their heat back on,increasing the risk of
home fires.36 Space heaters are responsible for almost 30%of these fires.An American
Red Cross survey showed that more than half of us have used space heaters and the Red Cross
urges families to take steps to heat their home safely.
Every second counts when there's a home fire.37 First,test your smoke alarms each
month and then practice your escape plan until everyone can get out in less than two minutes.
To create your home fire escape plan,include at least two ways to exit every room in your
home.Select a meeting spot at a safe distance away from your home,such as your neighbor's
home or landmark like a specific tree in your front yard.Discuss the plan with everyone in your
household and practice it twice a year.38
Place smoke alarms.on each level-of your home,including inside and outside bedrooms and
sleeping areas.In addition to testing your smoke alarms once a month,change the batteries at
least once a year if your model requires it.39 If the alarms are 10 years or older,they need
to be replaced because the sensor becomes less sensitive over time.Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
40 You can find an escape plan there to practice with your family.In addition,
download the free Red Cross First Aid app so you'll know what to do if emergency help is
delayed.You are also advised to use the free Emergency app for weather alerts,which will
help you know about open Red Cross shelter locations and safety steps for different
emergencies.
A.Stay safe by taking two simple steps.
B.Educating families about fire safety matters.
C.Visit redcross.org/fire for related information.
D.Check the production dates of your smoke alarms.
E.Set up free smoke alarms in high-risk areas across the community.

Mrs.Henderson's neat rose garden was the pride of the neighborhood,and she took great
care to maintain it.Next door,Mr.Patel and his family moved in six months ago,bringing
with them a love for gardening that Mrs.Henderson initially appreciated.
One day,Mrs.Henderson noticed Mr.Patel's young son,Aryan,playing near the fence
that separated their properties.She watched as the little kid reached through the fence and
picked a few rosebuds(玫瑰花蕾)from her roses.Mrs.Henderson's heart sank.These roses
were special-they had been planted by her late husband.
Without thinking,she opened the window and shouted,"Put that back,young man!
Those are my roses!”
Aryan was frightened,dropping the rosebuds and bursting into tears.Mrs.Henderson
felt a bit of guilt but remained firm."Go tell your father to keep.his son out of my garden!"
Mr.Patel heard the noise and came over.He turned to Mrs.Henderson."What's the
matter,Mrs.Henderson?"
"He took my roses!"Mrs.Henderson pointed to the rosebuds."You need to teach your
child:some respect.”
Mr.Patel's expression hardened."I'll handle my son,but a child's curiosity is natural."
14
Mrs.Henderson crossed her arms."Natural or not,it's my property.If you can't control
your child,maybe you shouldn't have moved here.
The words hung in the air,sharp and unforgiving.Mr.Patel's face turned red with anger.
"You're being unreasonable.I'll make sure Aryan stays away,but I won't tolerate your
cruelty.”
With that,he walked away,Aryan still weeping in his arms.Mrs.Henderson closed the
window,feeling a mix of regret and firmness.She knew she had overreacted,but the thought
of her roses being damaged was too much to bear.
