• 2．    I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life，regardless of who we are or where we come from.
      After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank，I wanted to do something challenging.So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers （股票經(jīng)紀(jì)人），with great excitement，I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents.After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers，I eventually landed the job.
      The first few months was a struggle.I lived on very little commission （傭金）.Night after night，I left the office weary and exhausted，ready to give up，yet somehow returning the next morning to start a new day.Eventually，all the hard work paid off.In less than four years，I became one of the top salespeople at my branch and increased personal sales by 1，700 percent.The success earned me a six-figure income，promotion and numerous sales awards.
      Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch，it hit me that something was missing.I thought long and hard about my goals.Then I was reminded of the time when I spoke to hundreds of people，while in college as a student leader，and years later，when I won a "Humorous Speech" championship.It dawned on me that every time I had a speaking engagement，I always came out of the experience with a wonderful，energetic，peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did.I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with could enable me to make a lasting difference and transform other people's lives.
      Then I took another daring risk，gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker.The beginning of my speaking journey was surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Mrill Lynch.However，nothing in the world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be.

• 3．Scientists in the Netherlands have trained bees to identify COVID-19 through their sense of smell，according to a press release from Wageningen University.The research was conducted on more than 150 bees in Wageningen University's bio-veterinary research laboratory.
     The scientists trained the bees by giving them a treat- a sugar-water solution- every time they were exposed to the scent of a mink （貂） infected with COVID-19.Each time the bees were exposed to a non-infected sample，they wouldn't get a reward.Eventually，the bees could identify an infected sample within a few seconds- and would then stick out their tongues like clockwork to collect the sugar water.
     Bees aren't the first animals to detect COVID-19 by scent.Researchers have also trained dogs to distinguish between positive and negative COVID-19 samples from human saliva （唾液） or sweat with fairly high levels of accuracy.A small German study found that dogs could identify positive COVID-19 samples 94% of the time.That's because metabolic changes from the coronavirus make an infected person's bodily fluids smell slightly different from those of a non-infected person.But researchers still aren't sure whether animals are the best bet for sniffing out COVID-19 cases outside the lab.
     "No one is saying they can replace a PCR machine，but they could be very promising，" Holger Volk，a neurologist，told Nature.；PCR machines are what lab technicians use to process standard COVID-19 swab tests.At the very least，certain animals could be useful for identifying COVID-19 in places or countries in which high-tech laboratory equipment is scarce or inaccessible.
     Wageningen scientists are working on a prototype of a machine that could automatically train multiple bees at once.Then bees can use their skills to test for coronavirus aerosols （氣溶膠） in the surrounding environment.
  
  （1）How did the researchers teach the bees to identify COVID-19？

  
  A．By offering bees some rewards.
  B．By infecting bees with COVID-19.
  C．By raising bees with sugar water.
  D．By exposing bees to infected humans.
  （2）Why are dogs capable of finding out negative COVID-19 samples？

  
  A．For dogs can sniff out hidden virus of the samples.
  B．For dogs can tell the different smell of the samples.
  C．For dogs can feel metabolic changes of the samples.
  D．For dogs can distinguish saliva from sweat of the samples.
  （3）What is the follow-up task of Wageningen scientists？

  
  A．To breed more multiple bees.
  B．To detect coronavirus aerosols.
  C．To help underdeveloped countries.
  D．To develop a new type of machine.
  （4）Which can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．A New Way to Cure COVID-19 Disease
  B．Bees：Well-trained COVID- 19 Detector's
  C．Bees' Extremely Accurate Sense of Smell
  D．The Best Method of Identifying COVID-19

      After knowing that she couldn't bear a child，Helen was sad.One day while she was driving home from the café，a dirty puppy in the road caught Helen's attention.After consideration，Helen and her husband eventually decided to take him home.And they later named him Ollie.
     Two years later，Ollie had grown into a large ball of fur.Ollie was Helen's world，and she hated it whenever someone addressed him as her rescue dog.Helen never went out without Ollie.One day，they were hanging out together outside a supermarket，unprepared for what was coming their way.
      "Hey boy，wait in the car.I'll be back，alright？" Helen said as she patted Ollie on his head.She locked him in the car and headed to the supermarket because Ollie hated crowded places and never accompanied Helen to the stores.
      Moments later，there was a sudden outburst of chaos.Helen was busy shopping and had no idea it was raining heavily outside.The whole area began to flood unexpectedly.People rushed to every open store they could find for shelter.
      12-year-old boy Matt was looking for a place to run to safety when he spotted people running to the supermarket nearby.He had no time to think and ran after them.
      Matt hurried upstairs with the rest.Suddenly，Helen noticed the situation and was alarmed. "What happened？" she asked a man and screamed at the top of her lungs when she learned of the flood.All she could think of was Ollie trapped in the car.
      "OLLIE...，I left my dog in the car，" she cried，running toward the window. "My dog is trapped in the car.Somebody，please..."
      Matt looked outside and saw the car Helen pointed to was in the flash flood.Helen was frightened to go out because she didn't know how to swim.Matt understood Helen's anxiety and ran to her pet's rescue.
      He grabbed an iron rod from the corner and raced downstairs. "Hey kid，where are you going？You will drown，" someone shouted.But Matt turned a deaf ear to him because he was determined to save Ollie.In the meanwhile，some people placed a call to the rescue center.
