It was a painful time for me, for I suffered from an illness and might never be able to

have a child. As my 40th birthday approached, I began, for the first time, to notice babies and their

happy, smiling mothers wherever I went.

One night, I came to a cafe to kill the boring time. An elegantly dressed, sightly older

woman was seated next to me.

“

Would you like to see a picture of my daughter?

”

she asked me, handing me a photo of

a

smiling

Chinese

girl.

The

child

was

about

seven

years

old

and

was

wearing

a

Snow

White

costume. That's Melanie, now in the first grade,

voice. She's pretty,

teaching her daughter about Chinese customs and maintaining ties to her shoes.

“

What made you

decide to adopt her?

I'm not sure if she saw the tears in my eyes as I replied, I don't either, but I'm afraid it's

too late.

I've ever done.

When

my

husband

and

I

returned

from

China

with

our

nine-month-old

daughter,

Madeline, in November 2017, Jill was one of the first people I e-mailed. I did it!

I

’

m a

mother and she's beautiful

Congratulations,

she

wrote

back.

We

recently

reconnected

on

Facebook,

and

I

told

her,

”

You changed my life.

Is it to their body temperature? Save energy? Find food? Tiger sharks at Ninglaoo Reef

are thought to search the seafloor for prey(

猎物

) as they dive down and scan for direction as they

swim up to the surface. But could there be other reasons why the sharks continuously move up and

down?

That's

what

Sammy

is

hoping

to

find

out

for

her

Ph.D.

research.

Sammy

attached

tracking

devices

to

24

tiger

sharks.

Best

described

as

Fitbits

for

sharks,

the

devices

recorded

activity rates and other data 20 times a second. Fitbits also contained video cameras, so Sammy

could see the habitats the sharks moved through and the animals they met. She watched how the

sharks reached to prey and how the prey reached to them.

Tiger sharks can be pretty lazy --- something as simple as a turtle noticing a shark and

tuning away could cause the shark not to bother hunting it. Stomach content analysis has found

their normal prey items, such as turtles, rays and fish. But it has also found some really interesting

things, such as licenses, cans and nails.

Sammy says that studying tiger sharks can help her better understand the ecosystem as a

whole.

How

they

move

through

water

and

feed

can

help

her

figure

out

how

they

might

be

influencing animals beneath them in the food chain

Sammy says.

apprehensive

about it......getting that close to some very big

animals.

But

they

were

very

chilled(

温驯

)

once

you

had

them

controlled

alongside

the

boat.

They'd just sit there, you'd attached the tracking devices, you

‘

d take the line off and they'd just

swim off really calmly, it was pretty amazing to see. They

’

re just absolutely beautiful animals.

28. Why does Sammy do her research?

A. To find some scientific data.

B. To develop others' interest in tiger sharks.

C. To find out how tiger sharks move.

D. To further understand tiger sharks' moving.

29. What does Sammy think of studying?

A. It's of great benefit.

B. It's a tiresome job.

C. It's filled with challenges.

D. It's simple and calls for little efforts.

30. What does the underlined word

”

A. Curious.

B. Doubtful.

C. Fearful

D. Enthusiastic.

31. Which can be the best title for the text?

D

It

started

with

a

woman,

who

wasn't

doing

anything

particularly

awful,

but

I

just

felt

unhappy when I looked at the photo. I couldn't even tell you what exactly the picture was, but I

just remember the feeling that came over me: annoyance and unhappiness.

It happened again a few weeks later with a photo of a college student that I remember as

not being very nice. Suddenly, I decided that I

’

d had enough.

on social media. Why am I flooding my life with people that make me unhappy?

”

I unfollowed her.

And then I began to rid my social media platforms of people who didn't make me happy.

Working

as

a

social

media

strategist,

1

find

it

almost

impossible

to

give

up

all

social

media platforms, but it also didn't need to make me unhappy whenever I was on it throughout the

day. Besides, I like social media when it's a healthy space for me. So instead of the extreme choice

of giving it all up, I decided I'd fill my feed with the people and things that improved my mood.

Being selective about the people you surround yourself with is important for your health

and self-care. When I realized how much better I felt when I didn't see that blogger post video that

made me roll my eyes or a picture that brought me to tears, I knew I had made the right decision.

Now, my feed fills me with joy when I see my friends post about their photos and blogs

from which I draw inspiration. Social media doesn't have to be the terrible place everyone says it

is, but you have to be willing to make the first move to make it that way.

32. How did the author feel when seeing a photo of college student?

A. Embarrassed

B. Confused

C. Upset

D. Concerned

33. How did the author deal with people on social media?
