Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she's been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.
The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated( 截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.
To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geo-tag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels,taking spectacular pictures in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, all with the well-know n locations written on her artificial leg.
“I get a new leg every two years and 1 can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalkboard, " Gallagher said, “My mum and grandmother weren't too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so 1 did."
Gallagher said people often stare when she's writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback. "My leg hasn't stopped me from doing anything l've wanted to do," she said. "I don't know if it's my determination to prove to
myself that I can do it, but regardless, I've been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life."
Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.

Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals. The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so-called disease"spillover" from animals to humans.
"As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly," said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent. "Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change," Fair said.
Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair's team at Los Alamos, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. It's early days for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say
drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards (果园) in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s.
"We're going by the past data really predict what's going to happen in the future," Fair said," And so, anytime you increase that wildlife-human interface, that's sort of an emerging disease hot spot, And so, that's just increasing as we go forward."
Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University's public health school, argues we don't yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. For example, mosquitoes carry disease that effects millions of people across the world every year. As their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up.
28. How does climate change affect the spread of disease according to Fair?
A. By breaking animals' habits.
B. By increasing animals' varieties.
C. By promoting animals' breeding.
D.By changing animals' living environment.
29. What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3?
A. Explaining the influence of Nipah virus.
B. Proving the harm of bats to human beings.
C. Show ing the effects of climate change on disease.
D. Presenting scientists' early study about the cause of disease.
30. What can we infer from Fair's words in paragraph 4?
A. Humans should give up studying animals.
B. Past data can solve the problems in the future.
C. Disease hot spots will disappear if animals die out.
D. Frequent contact with animals can cause disease outbreaks.
31. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Climate Change and Disease Spillover
B. Animals' Interaction with Humans
C. Early Studies about Extreme Weather
D. Scientists Prediction for Disease Outbreaks

Livestock (牲畜 ) farmers are being unfairly described as evil and dangerous by vegans (纯素食者)environmental advocates, experts from the University of Edinburgh and Scotland's Rural College told their peers at a seminar in London, the Telegraph reports. The shocking view comes despite the urging of many climate scientists who say eating a plant-based diet is one of the best ways to reduce our current environmental crisis.
According to the Sottish scientists, it is not right to blame global warning on meat production- infect, livestock farmers are producing cattle that are less harmful to the environment. Also, they argue,thanks 1o high protein, meat has a really important effect on the development of children worldwide, and fewer livestock farms wouldn't necessarily mean more sustainable land use.
" Often the argument is made that going vegan would minimize land use , and the modeling studies that have been done show that that's not the case," said Geoff Simm, director of Global Academy Agriculture and Food Security at Edinburgh. " We feel that while livestock production has a range of economic , social and environmental costs and benefits, the costs have perhaps been receiving far more attention recently than some of the benefits.
Mike Coffey of Rural College slammed veganism as “ completely unnecessary". "If everybody went vegan, it would be damaging to the UK environment," he said.. Animals kept for food help increase biodiversity. " Edinburgh University professor Andrea Wilson added that the environmental impact of veganism has not been examined to the same degree. " We know a lot about the livestock sector (行业)because people have looked at it. We actually know very little about the vegan sector," she said.
32. The environmental advocates think the livestock farmers _
A. are treated unfairly by vegans B. are to blame for global warming
C. can help improve the environment D. can offer plant-based diets for vegans
33. What do Scottish scientists think of livestock production?
A. Its use of land should be reduced.
B. It causes greater damage to the environment.
C. The nutrients provided can benefit children's growth.
D. The costs of livestock production are greater than benefits.
34. The underlined word . slammed" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to "
A. recognised B. criticized
C. Struck D. described
35. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Veganism is becoming a major trend.
B. Going vegan won' t save the environment.
C. Where the livestock farming is leading us.
D. How we. can solve the environmental crisis.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
Studies show that people w ho are happy -truly happy -have deep connections with those around them. 36. They actively try hard to improve these relationships and build quality relationships with others.
Those connections and relationships that we build and that we attempt to develop, create experiences in our lives.Some experiences will be poor, but it is possible for us to create meaningful experiences- experiences that allow us to just be. Studies show that when we create meaningful experiences, we allow ourselves time to relax, to build connections, and to become our best selves. 37. If we want to create meaningful experiences, we need to learn how to create these moments in our lives. Instead of taking many classes and workshops to teach us how to build connections with others, we should experience be SHOPs, which means we learn by being, by observing, and by becoming.
38. It helps define us and motivates us to do good, to step outside of our comfort zone, and to be better. A few of these values that we need to create meaningful experiences include:
*Compassion(同情): Compassion has been thoroughly studied and proven to be a natural human response. 39. When you are compassionate, you don't have to think twice about helping others.
* Gratitude: Showing sincere appreciation to others helps establish strong feelings of gratitude,and build strong connections. You should express appreciation for all the things in your life and make gratefulness just a part of who you are.
* Willingness to learn: 40. Many individuals will find themselves stuck in their own world and never take a step outside of their comfort zones. When we have that desire to learn, to explore,and our curiosity is continually peaked, then we are more likely to have these meaningful experiences.
Remember, true happiness, and meaningful experiences are not things you can learn from a series of work sheets and lectures. It is about being.
A, There is so much in the world around us.
B. "To be" requires key values that shape us.
C. It means service, kindness and love for others.
D. Within the communities, you can work on developing these values.
E. Working with others will help you experience many aspects of life.
F. Creating these experiences is a vital step in the process to achieve full happiness.
G. They lay stress on the relationships with their family, friends ,colleagues and even strangers.

When I was a kid, my parents sent me to a summer camp in New Hampshire. At the camp we did tons of great things like swimming, sports and archery(射箭), but for me, the most memorable 41 was an overnight trip of mountain climbing. If you've ever 42 a mountain, you know it's a physical challenge, 43 when you're carrying your food and shelter on your back. When campers got 44 , they certainly started complaining.
“How much farther is it?”
“I can't go any further.”
“My 45 is too heavy. Can you carry it for me?”
The reply of the 46 was, “Suck it up(不要再抱怨了).” The truth is that the complaining campers were 47 near the point of 48 . If they had been, the teachers would have noticed the 49 and given them care. The kids simply weren't used to the physical challenge. Once they realized they weren't getting any sympathy they 50 the discomfort, and in most cases 51 having a great time. In my camp days, I don't 52 a single camper complaining at the 53 of the mountain.
There are two ways to deal with an 54 situation. You can complain, or you can make the best of it. If you complain, you might feel like you're getting that 55 energy out, but you are probably not going to cause a positive change. It's much more
likely that your complaining will cause the 56 of those around you. No one likes a complainer. They’re 57 and they hurt the group. Complaining makes life 58 for everyone. Instead, if you determine to master your own 59, to move past it and focus on a 60, it's my experience that you'll realize it wasn't bad in the first place.

Dear Chirs,
I’m terribly sorry to tell you that we’ll not be able to watch the Beijing Opera performance as planned. I’m writing to explain the reason.
Although I have been expecting to watch the performance with you, the fact is that most outdoor public activities are forbidden in our city due to the coming rainstorms. That is why the performance has been canceled. Luckily, there are many videos of Beijing Opera performances on the Internet available for free. It is a great chance to experience Chinese traditional culture and entertain ourselves. I am sure a video will be a feast for eyes. In addition, there are scheduled performances next month for us to choose from.
I would appreciate it if you could give me an early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
