In 2013, I realised that I needed a break from the office work, so I set out travelling. But I had no idea how much the decision would change me for the rest of my life!
Before travelling, I was always worried about what other people think of me. How I looked and dressed was really important to me. I was always worried about putting on weight, getting darker, wondering if I was good-looking enough to socialise and be one of the people I used to hang out with. It doesn’t matter now. I’m more confident with my colour, my weight, and how I dress.
I used to compete a lot even when I was still a kid. I always wanted to impress people with how smart I was, how I could handle any task... But now, why should I feel like I need to compete I only need to impress myself. My life is already complete; I just have to make sure that whatever I do will be positive (积极的) and make me a better person.
I was a 24yearold Filipina with a successful career (事业) and had all of the things I could buy. But when I started travelling, I was no one. I have to learn a lot of things when travelling and I love it!
I thought the only skills I needed to improve were Microsoft Office and networking. Well I can now proudly say that I know how to fix beds in a hotel style, how to cook breakfast for a lot of guests, and how to work in a restaurant!
Besides the skills I’ve learned volunteering, I have completed several certifications (资格证) to start making money to support my new lifestyle. I am now a yoga teacher, an Ayurveda massage therapist (按摩师) and an English teacher. Now, with the new skills and certifications, I can work wherever I want!

Until March 18, New York City is hosting the New York International Children’s Film Festival ( NYICFF). The festival presented films from 24 countries. 50% of the filmmakers are women.
Since February 23, when the festival began, viewers have been able to choose from more than 100 films at six theaters across the city. Although the event is considered as a children’s festival, the films set no rules as to who you are or where you come from.
Among the films presented at the festival, Zoo and Zombillenium are two impressive (给人印象深刻的) ones. Zoo is a British war film that shows the difference that a kid can make.
Tom is the protagonist (主角) of this heartwarming story. Tom’s dad is the owner of the Belfast Zoo. After he leaves to fight in the war, Tom has to save the zoo’s baby elephant, Buster, from being killed in the war.
“I loved it,” said 9-year-old Gabriel Bieller of New York City after seeing the film. “It really taught how kids could make a difference.”
Ella Hanson, 7, was also moved. “The sweet story of a kid like me making a difference when faced with difficulties caused by a war,” she said, “was very encouraging.”
Zombillenium is an animated (动画的) French film about working hard to achieve your dreams. Hector Saxe is the immediately dislikeable protagonist. His management job is all about rules. But after he starts working at the amusement park (游乐园) that he hates, he puts all of his love into getting it ready for his daughter to visit.
The film had many positive reactions (反响) from the audience. “The story presented great, lifelike characters,” said Sami Ali, 12.
Oliver, 10, who did not provide a last name, said, “It was rather sad, but it underlined the importance of never letting go of the things that you care about.”
28. What can we learn about this year’s NYICFF
A.It lasted more than three weeks.
B.It attracted viewers from 24 countries.
C.It presented films mostly made by women.
D.It only presented films with kids as protagonists.
29. What happens to Tom in the film Zoo
A.He saves the owner of a zoo.
B.He is forced to fight in a war.
C.He loses his father because of a war.
D.He helps an elephant live through a war.
30. How did Gabriel Bieller find the film Zoo
A.Creative. B.Relaxing. C.Educative. D.Saddening.
31. What might the viewers think of Hector Saxe at first
A.Shy. B.Strict. C.Hard-working. D.Warm-hearted.
D
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has greatly sped up how long it takes to sort, label and analyze (分析) animal sounds — as well as to figure out which aspects of those sounds might carry meaning. One day we’ll be able to use AI to build a chat box that translates complex (复杂的) animal sounds into human language. Project CETI is just one organization working toward this goal.
“AI could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals, but that’s hard to deal with and long-term,” says Karen Bakker, a researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. “Some species have been on the planet longer than humans. Some species could go extinct before we figure out their language,” Bakker adds. “Besides, the idea of walking around with an animal translator may seem cool, but many animals might not be interested in chatting.”
“Why would a bat want to speak to you ” she asks. What interests her is what we can learn from how bats and other creatures talk amongst each other. “We should listen to nature and ask the animals’ requirements in order to better protect them,” she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help our boats avoid whales or protect elephants from poachers (偷猎者).
Protection is one goal driving Project CETI. “If we understand sperm whales better, we will be better at understanding what’s troubling them,” says Ga per Begu , a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. Learning that a species has something very similar to language or culture could also inspire people to work harder to protect it.
When we protect an animal that has some version of language or culture, we’re not simply protecting nature and we’re also saving a way of life. Marine biologist Denise Herzing says that animals are supposed to have a healthy environment so that their cultures can develop well.
32. What can we infer from the first paragraph
A.We will find ways to talk with animals.
B.We can share our language with animals.
C.We can tell the complex animal behavior.
D.We need conduct more research on animals.
33. What does Bakker think of fully understanding animals’ language
A.Costly. B.Difficult. C.Harmful. D.Worthless.
34. How can we protect the animals effectively according to paragraph 3
A.By learning about their needs.
B.By setting up shelters for them.
C.By mapping out their locations.
D.By living peacefully with them.
35. Which statement would Herzing probably agree with
A.Protecting nature means saving ourselves.
B.Animal translators should be created for protection.
C.Animals’ culture requires a healthy natural world to develop.
D.Short-term and long-term goals for conservation need to be set.

During my six years at the Boyd E. Smith Primary School, I was lucky to have so many great teachers who served as thoughtful role models. They were admirable characters who had far-reaching effects on me in more ways than I could have known. Among them who influenced me the most was my fourth-grade teacher, Mrs. Green.
The truth is that Mrs. Green was unlike anyone I had ever known. She had so much energy and passion for the world and for her students that she spent thirty years of her life at Boyd E. Smith. Mrs. Green taught maths. She devoted herself to her work. I would never have imagined that I would have left her class with so much.
Mrs. Green is everything that I want to be. The first time I met her, I knew she was someone special. Being young fourth-graders, we were taught to show respect to teachers as we learned to say “Thank you, madam” and “Yes, madam” on a daily basis. We did not complain about it. We knew she did it to make us better young adults that would carry on through life with respect for our elders.
Mrs. Green was an amazing teacher for many reasons, as she was intelligent and passionate about what she taught. She did not scold (责骂) us, but she taught us to recognize the difference between right and wrong and to be responsible no matter what we did. Looking back upon those days when I was in her class, I realized that she was teaching us qualities that were important to our characters. The most valuable lesson I learned from her was to live with honesty. I had no idea what this word meant until the incident (事情) in a math exam.
I was caught in the act of cheating in the exam.

Now I am also a primary school teacher like Mrs. Green.

Today was Qing Ming Festival, a traditional Chinese festival for honoring ancestors. In the morning, I went to sweep tombs with my family to remember our relatives. Later, we went for a spring outing and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We also made traditional Qingming cakes together.
This festival lets me cherish the love from my family and value our fine traditions. I really had a meaningful day.
67. 读后续写
I was caught in the act of cheating in the exam. I stood there nervously, lowering my head, ready to be blamed. However, Mrs. Green didn’t scold me. She talked to me patiently and told me that honesty was more important than scores. Her warm words touched me deeply and I realized my mistake. I made up my mind to be an honest person from then on.
Now I am also a primary school teacher like Mrs. Green. I always keep her words in mind and teach my students to tell right from wrong and be honest. I try my best to pass on this valuable quality, just as Mrs. Green did for me. I feel proud to carry on her spirit.
