Teenagers may not know the name Kevin Mayer, but he's about to play

an outsize role in their lives.

The longtime leader of the Walt Disney Company just became the CEO

of TikTok (

抖音

).In doing so, Mayer will lake charge of an app whose

influence over a lot of people has made it one of the most influential

，

although controversial(

有争议的

) ,platforms of the era.

Mayer has been with Disney since the early 1990s- minus a period as

the CEO of Playboy,com-and he's helped to acquire some important brands

in

film

industry.

More

recently

become

known

for

his

key

role

in

the

launch of the ll-important Disney Plus streaming service.

Mayer was thought to be among the most obvious potential successors

to outgoing CEO Bob Iger, but he was passed over for Bob Chapek

，

who ran

Disney' theme parks unit.

Mayer's departure from Disney may not be a surprise,but his move to

TikTok is unexpected. The app, owned by China-based ByteDance,is at a

crucial moment in its short history- seeing enormous growth during the

pandemic

lockdowns

but

facing

increasing

criticism

over

its

data- collection practices. As it rises in influence ,the company will

surely face a growing drumbeat of intense media and strict monitoring.

In

contrast,

Disney

has

never

been

more

delicate,

with

the

coronavinus

pandemic having broken nearly all of its core business units, from the

close

down

of

theme

parks

and

movie

theaters

to

ongoing

interruptions

to

its production schedules. Mayer

，

whatever else is motivating the move,

is hopping(

跳

) to another position at a proper time.

B. He wasn't qualified for his previous job.

C. He preferred a new career concerning teenagers.

D. He failed to succeed Bob Iger as a CEO of Disney.

6. What do we know about TikTok according to the text?

A. Potential but delicate. able but immoral.

C. Popular but controversial. sional but addictive.

7. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To advertise for Disney. report of news.

C. To recommend a new app. compare two companies.

During the COVID-19 crisis, even the simple act of buying groceries

has been completely transformed. For seniors this task is even more

challenging. Concordia University's ACT project team has joined with

community

partners

in

the

neighbourhood

to

fill

this

gap.

They've

rapidly

created a new program-COVID-19 Grocery Response NDG.

The program

uses a model

that pairs volunteers

with seniors,

based on

availability

and

language.

Those

volunteers

are

trained

by

ACT's

team

via

video conferencing and then given a list of older adults. The volunteer

calls

the

individuals

and

takes

their

order,

working

with

grocer

offerings

of a Provigo store in the area. When the call is over, the order gets

sent to Provigo, which gathers and delivers the order to the senior. It

won't

take

the

place

of

the

work

of

the

food

bank;

seniors

are

paying

for

their groceries.

There is also an important social element to the call

，

which doubles

as a friendly check -in. The volunteer chats a bit with the senior

，

who

may be very lonely and anxious. One volunteer says it has also been a

rewarding experience and gives her the opportunity to help others while

staying at home, which they are all being encouraged to do.

The program is a response to a number of factors

，

including the fact

that

many

older

adults

are

on

a

fixed

income

and

may

not

have

the

internet

access needed to order groceries online. It is targeting seniors who

aren't able to access New Hope's usual meals on wheels service.

So far the project is a success, with a growing number of volunteers

and

seniors.

As

for

what's

next,

Concordia

is

optimistic

but

acknowledges

that

the

team

will

need

to

be

nimble

to

accommodate

the

changing

realities

of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are at a critical time and we need to do

everything we can, together, to help out.

8. What do the volunteers do to help the seniors?

A. Help them pay the bill.

B. Send their order to the store.

C. Write a shopping list for them.

D. Deliver their groceries lo the door.

9. What can we infer about the programme from paragraph 3?

A. It benefits both sides.

B. It helps the store survive.

C. It goes beyond expectation.

D. It encourages people to purchase online.

10. Who might be the potential client of the program?

A. Daisy aged 45 with a heavy debt.

B. David who enjoys meals on wheels service.

C. Alexander aged 75 with a retirement pension.

D. Elspeth who knows noting about online shopping.

11. What does the underlined word

“

nimble< /p>

”

probably mean?

A. Flexible. B. Beneficial. C. Accessible. D. Qualified.

D

If

you

read

the

news

about

honeybee

survival

,it's

all

very

confusing.

The

Hoover

Institution's

Dr.

Henry

Miller

notes

“

The

reality

is

that

honeybee

populations

are

not

declining.

According

to

U.N.

Food

and

Agriculture

Organization(FA0)

statistics,the

world's

honeybee

population rose to 80 million colonies(

群落

) in 2011 from 50 million

in1960.

”

Meanwhile

Jennifer

Sass

of

the

Natural

Resources

Defense

Council

points out

“

The number of managed honeybee colonies in the U. s. has

dropped from four million hives(

蜂群

) in 1970 to 2.5 million today.

”

Surprisingly,

both

of

these

claims

are

correct.

Miller

points

to

the

“

global

”

commercial

honeybee- hive

count,

which

has

grown

considerably.

Sass

points

to

domestic

colony

numbers

only

,which

have

in

fact

declined.

Far more bees are farmed for making honey than for pollination(

传

粉

) services. Since more honey is now made overseas than it was in the

past, more hives are kept overseas

，

and fewer in the United States and

Europe.

And

the

global

number

of

commercial

hives

and

honey

they

produce

has

grown

to

meet

the

demands

of

an

expanding

world

population.

Such

shifts

offer no evidence of a honeybee hive crisis.

market forces of supply and demand.

The FAO data also clarify that national or even regional declines in

the

size

of

the

managed

honeybee

population

cannot

prove

claims

of

a

global

pollinator decline or a pollination crisis. However,it emphasizes that

solutions to those problems must be motivated locally

，

rather than

globally.

Solutions will follow only if we take a non-subjective look at the

issues

，

so we can address them appropriately rather than have a crisis

mentality.

As

I

highlight

in

a

recent

post

for

The

Hill,a

big

part

of

the

solution

lies

at

the very

local

level:

with

the

beekeepers,

farmers,

and

communities that surround them.

12. What makes the news confusing?

A. Various species. B. Different affects.

C. Complicated statistics. D. Contradictory conclusions.

13. What contributes to the growth of commercial hives?

A. The claims of the FAO.

B. The shift of honey export.

C. The increasing demands of honey.

D. The more services of pollination.

14. What's the author's attitude to the honeybee population issue?

A.

Supportive. B.

Objective. C.

Confused. D.

Doubtful.

15. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Honeybee Crisis Solved or Not?

B. Honeybee Population Declining or Not?

C. Honeybee Market Global or Local?

D. Honeybee Research Global or Local?
