21、He had two armed guards protecting him until his death aged 55. He also had two massive tusks（象牙）and, just as important, he had a name. Ahmed the elephant received the special treatment until his death in 1974, under an order from Kenya’s then-president Jomo Kenyatta. The name helped give Ahmed and, by extension, the cause of elephant conservation greater recognition.

With Ahmed the elephant in mind, Kenya last week launched the Elephant Naming Festival in which people get the chance to adopt an elephant after contributing money toward their chosen animal’s conservation.

The initiative gives the adoptive parent priority when it comes to choosing the first name of the elephant. The second name will be a Maasai（马赛族）one based on the animal’s profile, history, role in the family and physical attributes like the state of its tusks.

Launching the program, Najib Balala, a top official at the Ministry for Tourism and Wildlife, said the elephant-naming initiative will bring greater awareness of the need for conservation and promote tourism. Balala said the event will be held each year on Aug 12, observed as World Elephant Day.

“We feel that this is a great opportunity for everyone to be part of the sustainability of tourism and wildlife in Kenya for future generation,” Balala said.

“Wildlife is a big part of Kenya’s heritage and ensuring that future generations enjoy this resource should always remain the most important. The launch of the Magical Kenya Elephant Naming Festival builds on the good work that the Kenya Wildlife Service and other partners have been doing over the years.”

【1】What has the special treatment to Ahmed brought about?

A．More people are willing to protect elephants.

B．More people are anxious to collect tusks.

C．More elephants are guarded by armed soldiers.

D．More elephants are released to the wild.

【2】What can adoptive parents do in the Elephant Naming Festival?

D．Consult the elephant’s profile to give it the second name.

【3】Why was the Elephant Naming Festival launched?

A．To be in memory of the dead elephant Ahmed.

B．To raise money for the cause of elephant conservation.

C．To contribute to wildlife protection and sustainable tourism.

22、   There is no need to say again in business psychology that high self-confidence is key to career success. Actually I think low self-confidence is more likely to make you successful. Sure, extremely low confidence is not helpful. It prevents performance by including fear, worry, and stress, which may drive people to give up sooner or later. 【1】 . If your confidence is low, rather than extremely low, you stand a better chance of succeeding than if you have high self-confidence.

【2】 . Therefore, you will be self-critical. Most people get trapped in their optimistic prejudice, so they tend to listen to positive feedback(反馈)and ignore negative feedback. Although this may help them come across as being confident to others, in any area of competition an achievement is 10% performance and 90% preparation.【3】 .

Lower self-confidence can get you to work harder and prepare more. If you are careful about your goals, you will work harder when you lack confidence in your abilities. 【4】 , low confidence is negative. If you really want to do what you want, your low confidence will only make you work harder to achieve it because it will make you know the distance to the goals.

Lower self-confidence reduces the possibilities of pride and disappointment. 【5】 , they are more likely to admit mistakes instead of blaming others. This is the most important benefit of low self-confidence because it points to the fact that low self-confidence can bring success, not just to individuals but also to organizations and society.

A.Actually when you are careless about your goals

B.Lower self-confidence makes you focus on negative feedback

C.So low confidence can only prevent you from succeeding

D.Thus, the more you know weaknesses, the better prepared you will be

E.But appropriate low confidence helps you adjust your goals to complete

F.Indeed, if people have low self-confidence

G.Then if you care about your inability very much

24、There is a bit of confusion when it comes to whether eating while driving is allowed in Australia as it is kind of a legal gray area in most states. While there are no specific road rules that ban eating behind the wheel, drivers might as well not eat on the road to avoid being heavily fined.

NEW SOUTH WALES

If the police catch you eating while driving in New South Wales, they can book you for driving without proper control of the vehicle. This comes with a $448 fine and three demerit points and that rises to a $561 fine and four demerit points if the offence is committed in a school zone.

AUSTRALINA CAPITAL TERRITORY

Not pulling over to eat can also land you in hot water in the ACT. Much like NSW, drivers can be charged with driving without proper control of their car, which comes with a $292 fine. Drivers can also be given a $385 fine and three demerit points if their distraction results in a crash.

VICTORIA

In Victoria, you could be forced to pay a $387 fine along with racking up three demerit points if the police catch you having a meal on the road.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

While the law in South Australia doesn’t specifically state that eating while driving is illegal, the SA Driver’s Handbook does name eating as a common distraction. Driving without having proper control of the vehicle could cost you $184 and six demerit points in South Australia.

NORTHERN TERRITORY

If the police catch a driver eating on the road in the Northern Territory, they may charge him with “driving in a dangerous manner”. This means the driver could get a $500 fine and three demerit points.

【1】What does the underlined sentence suggest?

A．It is not an easy job to ban eating while driving in the state.

B．Eating behind the wheel can cause the driver lots of trouble.

C．It is important to educate drivers to be aware of driving safety.
