21、The Mississippi State University Extension Service is offering the Master Gardener training and certification online again this year,

Participants take 40 hours of instruction in horticulture and related topics to become expert volunteers. Learn more and register for the first Master Gardener class of 2022 from February 1 to February 28 at http://msuext.ms/mg. Instruction for all classes is online and self-paced. The online class material is offered from March 15 to May 15.

About Volunteering

“The Master Gardener program trains active volunteers who exchange the 40 hours of educational training they receive for 40 hours of volunteer service within one year of their training,” said Jeff Wilson, a horticulture specialist of the Master Gardener program. “These Master Gardeners continue to be assets to their communities as, in future years, they continue to receive training and spend a minimum of 20 community service hours a year to maintain their certified status.”

The volunteer work of Master Gardeners helps local Extension offices reach a broader audience than is possible through just the efforts of Extension agents. Volunteers take on a variety of community beautification projects and extend the educational arm of the university to the public by providing horticultural information based on university research and recommendations.

“Master Gardener volunteers experience the personal satisfaction of serving their community, gaining horticultural expertise and connecting with their local gardening community,” Wilson said.

Fees

The cost for Master Gardener training is $ 125 for those who want to become certified volunteers and provide 40 hours of service. For $ 200, the same material is available for those not interested in the volunteer service component.

22、   In the U. S. state of Washington, a road called Interstate(州际公路；州际的)90 cuts through a wild mountainous area to reach the city of Seattle. For the area's many kinds of animals, busy high- way greatly limits their movements. Animals need to move to find food, to find mates, to find new places to live as their populations expand or just when conditions change, like a fire breaks out. Crossing I-90 – as the road is called – is a risky but sometimes necessary act. But soon, animals will have a safer choice. They will be able to go above it.

To help the animals, the state is finishing work on its largest - ever wildlife bridge. The 11-meter-tall, 20 - meter - wide bridge begins in the forest. It forms two arches above the highway, one for each direction of traffic. Workers are adding fencing anti plants to help guide the animals across the bridge，Two-meter-thick walls will help block noise from vehicles below. Scientists chose the area because it is within a natural migration(迁徙)path for some animals.

The I -90 bridge is part of a growing number of wildlife crossings across the United States. Some are fences, some are overland bridges，and some are underpasses. They all aim to keep drivers and animals away from each other.

A U. S. Transportation Department study found crashes between animals and humans rose year by year. The accidents made up about 5 percent of all crashes nationally, and cost the economy (经济)about ＄ 8 billion. Such costs come from car repaid, emergency room visits and removal of the dead animals on roads. Collisions between animals and drivers are rarely deadly to people. But they are often deadly to wildlife. The study also found that 21 endangered or threatened species in the U.S. are affected by vehicle hits. Bridges, underpasses and fencing reduce I he area's animal - driver collisions by 80 percent.

Most of the wildlife bridges are in western states. Many other areas also need such paths. But finding money for more crossings is“the- number - one problem”. Patty Garvey — Darda of the U. S. Forest Service has worked on the I - 90 crossing from the start of the project. She says the $ 6 - million bridge will one day pay for itself because the highway will not have to be fully or partly closed each time a large animal is struck. “If you shut clown Interstate 90, you shut down interstate trade. ” she adds.

【1】What do we know about die I -90?

A. It goes from Washington D.C to Seattle,

B. It is dangerous for wild animals to cross.

C. It blocks the movements of wild animals.

D. It is the longest - ever highway in the world.

【2】What is being done to help the animals?

A. Building a wildlife bridge to keep drivers and animals away.

B. Designing walls to protect animals from traffic accidents.

C. forming 2 arches, one for traffic and the other for animals.

D. Choosing a natural and safe area for wild animals to live in.

【3】What can we learn from the study?

A. Traffic accidents went down gradually nationwide.

B. Most money was spent in rescuing wild animals,

C. Collisions are more deadly to wildlife than to people,

D. Some species no longer existed because of vehicle hits.

【4】Which of the statements may Patty Garvey - Darda agree with?

A. The bridge costs too much money.

B. Animals won11 be struck by drivers.

C. The effort to build the bridge will pay off.

D. Collisions won't affect national trade at all.

23、Climate Science fiction (cli-fi) authors have been exploring the impact of weather-gone-wild for decades. Here are a few of them that still ring true today.

The Crystal World

J. G. Ballard is often considered the godfather of cli-fi. The famous British author’s novels of the 1960s, including The Burning World, The Drowned World and The Wind From Nowhere, imagine terrible climate-based disasters.

But they’re all too gentle in nature compared with his first truly mature work, The Crystal World. In a sense, The Crystal World is a horror novel-instead of the horror happening to a person, it’s happening to Earth.

Hothouse

Brian Aldiss’ Hothouse—a series of short stories published in 1962-remains one of the most extreme visions of climate change. In it, Earth of the furthest future has changed so completely that it’s nearly unrecognizable. Humans struggle to survive in this strange world of heat waves—which, admittedly, isn’t very scientifically possible but is all the more wonderful because of Aldiss’ unbound imagination.

The Ice Schooner

The climate change in Michael Moorcock’s 1969 novel The Ice Schooner is man-made in a different way: It’s caused by a long, extreme winter that settles around Earth following a nuclear war. The book presents a world where a new ice age has resulted in a frozen planet. There’s nothing scientific about Moorcock’s setting. But it does warn, in its own way, of the disastrous climate change that humanity can bring to the world.

Ice

Anna Kavan’s Ice, like Ballard’s The Crystal World, is filled with far more symbolism than the typical early cli-fi novel. In the freezing environment of Kavan’s 1967 book, a nuclear war has led to massive global climate change that has turned the world into another Siberia.

【1】Which book contains the most frightening scenes?

A．The Burning World.

B．The Drowned World.

C．The Crystal World.

D．The Wind From Nowhere.

【2】Who wrote Hothouse?

A．Anna Kavan.

B．Brian Aldiss.

C．J. G. Ballard.

D．Michael Moorcock.

【3】What do the last two novels have in common?

A．They are based on scientific evidence.

B．They were published in the same year.

C．They are about heat waves in the world.

D．They imagine the results of a nuclear war.

24、Have you ever gazed at a test question and wondered where on earth it came from? You’re just certain the teacher has never covered the information, because it isn’t in your notes. 【1】 And furthermore, they got the question right.

【2】 It is a common frustration. Very few people can write fast enough or can concentrate long enough to record everything the teacher says.

As you can imagine, college lectures can be much longer and more detailed than the lectures you receive in high school. For this reason, many college students deal with the potential problem of missing critical information by developing a personalized form of shorthand (速记).

【3】 You don’t have to learn a squiggly-line (潦草书写的) language. You simply come up with a set of symbols or abbreviations (缩写) for common words that you find in lectures.

Developing shortcuts in your writing is not a new idea, of course. The trick is to develop a good system and to do it well. 【4】 Try these tips:

★Develop a list of the most commonly used words and make shortcuts for them.

★Practice your course-specific shorthand at the beginning of the term when your text is still new and you’ re curious and excited about the information. Find a few interesting passages and practice writing them in shorthand

★If possible, find a study partner to read the passages to you. 【5】

★ Time yourself for each passage you practice. Pretty soon you’ll start to build up speed.

A．To do that, you have to practice.

B．Find the common terms for the passage.

C．We miss things when we take class notes

D．Look through the textbooks for each course

E．That sounds much more complicated than it really is.

F．You can get the real experience of taking notes during a lecture in this way

G．Then, you discover that some of your classmates did record the information in their notes

25、While I was riding a bike, I noticed a man about half a mile in front of me. He was traveling at a lower speed, so I decided to _________ him. I had about a mile to go on the road before turning off.

I started _________ faster and faster. And every block, I gradually closed the distance. Finally, I _________ him and passed him by. I felt like a winner, _________ he seemed unaware that we were in a _________.

After I passed him, I realized that I had been so _________ on competing against him that I had missed my _________, had gone nearly six blocks past it and had to turn around.

Isn’t that what _________ in life? We spend most of our time _________ with neighbors, friends and family, trying to __________ them, or trying to outdo them — while there was never a competition in the first place.

We use most of our time and energy in competitions, where we miss out our own paths to our __________.

Unhealthy competition is a continous process and a never-ending cycle. No matter what you do, someone will always be __________ you; someone with a better job, a nice car and more money.

So stop doing that! Just feel __________ for what life has offered you. Stay concentrated on your __________, and live a healthy life. There’s no competition in destiny. __________ your own race of life and wish others well!
