I went to Grand Canyon (大峡谷) National Park in July 2012 for the firsttime and I knew I wanted to work there as a park ranger(管理员). Park rangers protect the park's animals, plants, land, buildings, andpeople.

Now, as a park ranger forGrand Canyon National Park, I share the science, history and beauty of this parkwith thousands of visitors from around the world.

National parks are like outdoormuseums. Park rangers have all kinds of jobs, depending on where they work and whatthey studied during college. I teach school field trips(实地考察), work at visitor centers and helppeople stay safe during their visit.

My favorite part of my jobis showing children their first look at the Grand Canyon during school field trips.Children are often amazed at the canyon's size and colors. Sometimes, they thinkit looks like a painting.

Being a park ranger requiresa lot of energy. I walk several miles and talk with hundreds of people each day.Park rangers must enjoy working with people and speaking in front of groups. Nearly5 million people visit Grand Canyon National Park every year.

Park rangers must also beprepared for any situation. Recently, I broke a traffic jam(堵塞). It was caused by a huge elk(麋鹿)standing in the road. Elks can become dangerous when they get scared,so I asked visitors to stop their cars and take pictures from far away. Believeit or not, I also help protect people from monkeys. It is not allowed to feed animalsin national parks. But sometimes, visitors try to feed monkeys.

AI could make it less necessary to learn a foreign language. That's good news for travelers, but bad news for soulful connection. Travel has long been one of the reasons for study unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good enough service. 

Some are worried that apps are turning language learning into a weakening need. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a not so fluent (流畅的) speech in Chinese, which required a lot of work but offered a great sense of achievement in the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest? 

  ★  They don't take the weakening as a big deal. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of continual contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the effort to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of developing themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer or pizza. 

As AI translation becomes a more popular labor-saving tool, people will divide into two groups, just as the above. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new ways. This group will take on language learning, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might say with extreme sports (极限运动): "Good for you, if that's your thing, but a bit painful for my taste."

However, a focus on the learner alone misses the basically social nature of language. It is a bit like discussing the advantages of close relationship to heart health but turning a blind eye to the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in simple German, you are making direct communication with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put stress on an argument, that connection is till deeper.

My day began when I saw my six-year-old son Jonathan doing something in the garden by my azalea bush(杜鹃花丛). By the time I got out, I found he had broken it! It was my favorite!

"Can I take this to school?" he asked, smiling. Though a bit 1 , I nodded in agreement. Then I turned back to the broken bush and touched it as if to say silently, "I'm sorry." Later I pruned(修剪) it 2 .

The rest of the day, I was busy doing endless housework. Time had passed by fast before I realized it was already 3:00. Leaving the clothes in the washing machine, I hurriedly got to school to pick up Jonathan. When I got there, the teacher told me she wanted to talk about Jonathan.

"What now?" I thought.

I had prepared myself for the worst, 3 the teacher's words greatly surprised me. "Did you know Jonathan brought 4 to school today?" she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite bush. "See that little girl? How happy she is now!" the teacher continued. I saw a 5 child busily drawing a picture with crayons(蜡笔). I nodded again.

"Well, her parents are separated and she has been 6 these days. I did all I could to comfort her, but nothing 7 . This morning I watched your son walk over to her with some pretty pink flowers and say, "This is for you."

I felt my heart full of pride for what my son had done. Holding Jonathan's hand, I said, "Thank you! You've 8 my day.''

I was warmed by the 9 Jonathan showed to the little girl, and I made up my mind to pass it on. Later that evening when my husband came back home from a tiring workday, I 10 some pink azaleas and handed them to him. "This is for you," I said.

 阅读下列短文, 从所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

The only thing better than reading a good book is reading it with others. In a book club, a group of people will find a book. Then everyone will read it by themselves first and then talk about the book with others. Reading is not just something you love doing by yourself. It's also fun to talk about what you' re reading with friends.

There are no rules(规则) of starting a book club. But it's better to have a plan for it. Here it is.

First, before you start a book club, you should think about" What will my book club be like?"" When and where will we meet?"

Then, ask your friends to come to your club. Think of eight to twelve people around your age. You may ask your friends for help, and they can ask their friends to come. These people may be your new club members. And you can make friends with them.

Next, having a topic can also help. The topic may interest members to look up more information about it. You might want to read stories about history. The topic" history" makes it easier to know which books to read. If every time every member helps find a book to read, you might know more great new books and writers.

Finally, make sure to read the book before the meeting. And then come to the meeting with questions to talk about.

In a word, it's better to do than to say. 

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

Working for a big company in London on a salary (薪水)of over £100, 000, you might expect Grayden Reece-Smith to have a luxurious (奢侈)lifestyle, going on expensive holidays or driving a sports car around south London, where he lives. In fact, the 28-year-old leads a very different life from his colleagues. He gives away everything he earns over £42, 000–a number that he thought he could comfortably live on. 

Over the past five years, Reece-Smith has handed over more than £250, 000 to organizations such as International Care Ministries, which helps poor families in the Philippines, and the Against Malaria Foundation. He is part of a growing number of young people described as "influential altruists". Influential altruists donate regularly to a charity which they think will have a great impact(影响). Some change careers to make more money, which can then be given away. 

Reece-Smith considered working in the charity after graduating from university, but thought that he could make a bigger difference by donating a large part of his salary. He had volunteered as a teacher at a school in Tanzania, but then realized that earning and giving would be more effective. "The cost of my flights there could have paid the salaries of two teachers for an entire year, " he says. Instead, he could "stay at home, living a nice life and still make a huge difference in the world". 

He is not mean with money-last year he went to Cuba on holiday, and spent several thousand pounds on a new sofa. But his lifestyle isn't as luxurious as some of the people he works with. "I usually don't buy supermarket-branded food products, but I don't own a car. Other people on my salary might have a bigger house. Some of my colleagues have four-bedroom houses, but we only bought what we needed-a two-bedroom flat. £42, 000 is more than enough to live on and still save, " he says.
