27、I told my friend Graham, "I often walk two miles from my house to the town centre. Unfortunately, there is a big hill on the way." He replied, "You should say 'fortunately’." He explained that I should be glad for the extra exercise that the hill gave.

I thought he was right. My attitude to the hill has now changed. As I approach the foot of the hill and prepare to climb, I tell myself that this hill will help me lose weight and get fit. This hill is my friend. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.

Problems are to be faced. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller once wrote that "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened  ..."

Our attitude towards difficulties is of importance in life. From time to time, we all face problems, accidents and difficulties. We cannot choose the situation but we can choose our attitude toward the situation.

How can you change your attitude towards difficulties? Try these steps:1. Face the problem. Do not avoid it. 2. Take a positive attitude. 3. Imagine how you will feel when you solve the problem. 4. Develop an action plan for how to deal with it. 5. Smile.

Many great people like Helen Keller, took these steps to deal with their problems. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They accepted the challenge. They won.

28、When the UNESCO World Heritage Committee (WHC) met from July 16 to 31, 2021, they were tasked with addressing threats to some of the world’s most treasured sites of priceless natural and cultural heritage. Among the issues the committee must face is the growing threat that dams cause to some of the worlds most treasured World Heritage Sites.

A recent study found that over 500 dams under construction or planned worldwide would be built in protected areas, while dams threaten at least 80 World Heritage Sites. This number is only expected to grow as dam developers, faced with a reduction in the number of dam sites available, pursue increasingly reckless（不计后果的）projects such as the Batang Toru Dam, which experts say could lead to the extinction of the newly discovered Tapanuli orangutan（红毛猩猩）.

The increasing impact of dams on World Heritage Sites has caused a global outcry, most recently in the case of the Selous Game Reserve, a World Heritage Site recognized as a biodi-versity hotspot and one of the largest protected areas for African wildlife. The Tanzanian government’s decision to construct the Julius Nyerere Dam in the Selous led to an angry proposal from UNESCO to remove it from the list altogether.

Meanwhile, history is in danger of repeating itself in Laos, where the planned Luang Pra-bang dam threatens the historic city it’s named for Luang Prabang, the old royal capital was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1995. Despite this World Heritage status, the Mekong River, which flows through and is an important part of Luang Prabang’s history, culture, and way of life, is under threat. The Laos’ government is planning to build a dam, 25 kilometers upstream from Luang Prabang. Given the proposed dam’s size and location, the dam will have major environmental impacts on the river system and surrounding area.

【1】Which was an unavoidable topic at the meeting of WHC in 2021?

A．The number of dams under construction or planned worldwide.

B．The growing threat that dams cause to World Heritage Sites.

C．The extinction of the endangered animals in the whole world.

D．The measures that some major countries governments took.

【2】What can we know about Batang Toru dam?

A．It is a project in Tanzania.

B．It blocks Mekong River.

C．It caused a global outcry.

D．It could endanger a species.

【3】What’s UNESCO’s attitude towards the construction of Julius Nyerere Dam?

A．Curious.

B．Opposed.

C．Interested.

D．Thankful.

【4】Which project is most likely to be under construction now?

A．Batang Toru Dam.

B．The Selous Game Reserve.

C．Julius Nyerere Dam.

D．Luang Prabang Dam.

29、To solve a big environmental problem, chemists in the Czech Republic have been thinking small. Really small. Their new minirobot has one purpose: to help clean up tiny bits of plastic polluting waterways across the globe.

Each new robot is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. They are magnetic (有磁性的) and shaped like stars. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down. When the light goes out, they let go and are free to be used again.

“This work is great,” says Douglas Blackiston at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. He’s a biologist who did not work on the project but knows about such devices. He’s been designing robots out of living cells, including some that might help with pollution cleanup. Speaking of the new one, he mentions that, “These robots can eat plastic. They chew it up. Or they can recover it and be collected with a magnet. Scientists love robots with all these capabilities. ”

Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague led the project. He studies ways to build microrobots. About a decade ago, he says, scientists began developing tiny bots that could move themselves in water. Then, they had to find them a mission and thought “Let’s make them do something useful.” Since then, Pumera has focused on the problem posed by microplastics, which are everywhere—from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains. They’ve turned up in drinking water, both bottled and tap water, and some studies estimate that trillions of pieces of plastic end up in the world’s waters. The plastic has many sources, from drinking straws and shopping bags to laundry and cleaning wipes. Plastic doesn’t easily degrade or fall apart, and that’s always been one of its appeals.

Pumera says his final goal is to make cheap and environmentally friendly robots that can be used anywhere in the world.

【1】What do the new robots mainly do?

A．To collect tiny bits of plastic in the sea

B．To push the pollution in water away

C．To help do research into the plastic

D．To deal with the plastic in water

【2】How do the new robots get powered?

A．By stars

B．By plastic

C．By sunlight

D．By living cells

【3】Why did Pumera take part in the project?

A．Because of public attention to the plastic

B．Because of the challenges from the plastic

C．Because he was asked to do so by other scientists

D．Because he was inspired by the invention of microrobots

【4】What is the best title of the article?

A．Small robots, big dreams

B．No plastic in water anymore!

C．Robots, winners against plastic

D．The fight between robots and plastic
