21、   Ed Jackson："I want to be the first quadriplegic（四肢瘫痪者）to climb Everest，"

Former Wasps player was told he would never walk again after an accident in 2017.

"It was a lovely day like this and we had a barbecue." Ed Jackson says as he remembers the accident which broke his neck，ended his rugby career and left him paralyzed（瘫痪）with a medical prediction that he would never walk again. "I walked to the edge of a feature pool with a waterfall at one end. I couldn't tell which was the deep end so I dived in，fell straight to the bottom，and hit the top of my head. When I tried to stand up I couldn't. Luckily my dad was in the pool. He's a retired doctor and he knew it was a spinal cord（脊柱）issue."

Jackson survived surgery but was told that his paralysis was almost certainly permanent. "After five days of trying to move my toes with nothing happening，I thought there's a good chance they're right."

"Every night on my own，I imagined what it would be like for my wife to look after me for the rest of my life. If this was going to continue all my life，I would never have forgiven myself." In the dark，his mind was at war with itself. "That fear of the unknown is terrifying. Every day I would stare at my toe and try to move it."

On day six his toe twitched（抽动）！The next few months became a series of his exciting moments. Jackson kept chasing those wins.

Once Jackson could walk he decided to climb Snowdon to coincide with the first anniversary of the accident. On 1 April 2018，with a heavy brace on his leg，Jackson reached the summit of Snowdon.

Climbing is exhausting and dangerous for a quadriplegic but，with his face lit by sunshine，Jackson uncovers a previously secret dream. "I want to be the first quadriplegic to climb Everest. I would love that to be where the story of my recovery ends. And then I just want to go on laughing and living.

22、   The New Year is always a time of new beginnings, a time for a change, and a time to set goals.【1】 Here are some tips for setting career goals in a new year:

Reflect on Your Year

Take some time to consider your career in the year that just ended. If you dislike your job, try to figure out why. Is it due to the work itself, or something about the workplace? If you like what you do, and it’s outside factors that you find limiting, it might make sense to make your goal to find a new position. 【2】

Engage in Career Research

【3】Start to read about careers of interest by browsing websites or publications at your local bookstore or library. Identify two new careers to research each week, and keep a diary of your interest in each. For those fields with a genuine appeal, make a list of questions to research so that you can fully evaluate the suitability of that career for you.

Check Out What Your Friends Do

【4】 Think about the roles of colleagues, suppliers, or clients that might be a good fit for you, and interview them about the nature of their work. Share your skills list with them, and ask for help brainstorming career options that might be worth considering within their sections.

Gain New Skills

If you want to take up a new career, consider volunteering to gain additional experience, or taking classes to learn new skills.【5】

A.Always be ready to learn and aim to be better.

B.Activate your curiosity about the work lives of people in your social network.

C.If you are totally in love with what you do, aim higher, and strive to be better.

D.Spend some time assessing what you like and dislike about your current situation.

E.Many people look forward to changing career paths and aiming for bigger dreams.

F.The more you research, the easier it will be to make decisions and set goals for yourself.

G.The same holds true if you feel positive about your field, but are ready for more significant responsibilities.

24、   Experts studying the state of the Australian reef system-one of the seven natural wonders of the world-reported that it is disappearing faster than thought.

“We found the number of small, medium and large corals on the Great Barrier Reef has declined by more than 50 percent during the so-called bleaching episodes (白化期） since the 1990s,"said Terry Hughes of the University of Queensland, Australia. “The decline occurred in both shallow and deeper water and across nearly all species-but especially in branching and table-shaped corals.”

Branching and table-shaped corals provide build structures on the reef that are important for other sea life, such as fish. Their loss is reducing population sizes and sea food productivity. When ocean temperatures are too high, corals drive away their colorful symbiotic algae (共生藻类） that provide them with food-turning them a bleached white. If the ocean cools quickly enough, the algae can return. But if it stays too hot for too long, the corals begin to starve.

＂Both small and large reefs have become increasingly rare," said paper author Andy Dietzel of Queensland's ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies. “This indicates declines in reproduction, recovery potential of coral populations.”

The Great Barrier Reef consists of more than 2,900 individual reefs and some 900 islands-and is bigger than the entirety of the UK. The natural wonder is home to around 1,625 species of fish and 30 different types of whale and dolphin.

＂We used to think the Great Barrier Reef was protected by its size," commented Professor Hughes." But our results show even the world's largest and relatively well-protected reef system is increasingly compromised and in decline.”

【1】What can we learn about the bleaching episodes from the passage?

A．The decline of corals occurred in all species.

B．Corals will never come back to life once bleached.

C．Reefs have increased in Australia with climate change.

D．The Great Barrier Reef plays a vital role in sea ecosystem.

【2】What is the attitude of Professor Hughes towards the Great Barrier Reef?

A．Ambiguous.

B．Concerned.

C．Optimistic.

D．Indifferent.

【3】Where is the passage probably from?

A．A magazine.

B．A textbook.

C．A tourist brochure.

D．A science report.
