The candles we make at Wax Buffalo are imperfect-“beautifully imperfect”,as we like to say.
Each one is unique, hand-poured (手工灌注的)with pure soy wax (大豆蜡). It's a small business I
started, and everyone who enjoy, working here comes into the studio in free time, so they can be
home with their family, cats, dogs at prime times.
I first fell in love with candles on visits to my grandmother Ferne's house in Lincoln. At night,
candlelight flashed off the book-lined walls. During the day, she'd take me to a cafe in the historic
Haymarket district and we'd drink tea out of china cups.
I poured my first candle at the age of 14, using the candle-making tool that Ferne had given me.
I gave the finished product to my grandmother for Christmas. She loved that candle I'd made for her.
That first candle was imperfect. Beautifully imperfect.
Then in 2014, life took a dark turn for my grandmother. The breast cancer took away her life. I
found myself thinking about the candle-making tool she had given me as a 14-year-old kid, and the
joy it had brought me. I began pouring candles again, making them for friends. Because of kids'
health, I'd become especially interested in natural products. I used locally sourced soy wax. Was
there a way I could make candles for people beyond my group of friends? And so, Christmas of that
year, Wax Buffalo was launched. Little by little, the business grew as we found more people who
wanted our candles. Now our candles are sold in more than 60 shops across the country.
Isn't life wonderful? Indeed, it is - beautifully imperfect. But it hasn't turned out at all how I'd
have predicted. I think that's what Ferne wanted me to understand. To trust the light of hope, to
enjoy fun in its light, to know that it can transform a person from within.
24. What may be one of the advantages of working in Wax Buffalo?
A. Relaxing task. B. Flexible time. C. High payment. D.
Imperfect conditions.
25. When did the author probably start her business?
A. After she turned 14. B. After her grandmother died.
C. After she visited Ferne's house. D. After her grandmother sent her candle making
tool.
26. Why did the author use soy wax?A. To make harmless candles. B. To make candles look better.
C. To save the cost of production. D. To improve the figures of candles.
27. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Imperfection exists everywhere. B. Life takes off from a dark turn.
C. Life can be predicted somehow. D. Being hopeful about life is
important.
C
One in five women and one in eight men are becoming more tired and less productive,
according to a new Australian study on mobile phone use.
Led by the Queensland University of Technology in Australia, researchers surveyed 709 mobile
phone users across the country aged 18 to 83 and asked them a series of questions based on a similar
study 13 years ago. Identifying a phenomenon “technoference (科技干扰)”, researchers discovered a
significant increase in people blaming their devices for “losing sleep, becoming less productive and
even getting more aches and pains”.
According to the study's lead author Dr Oscar, the issue is so bad that 24 percent of women and
15 percent of men are now considered to be “problematic mobile phone users”. “When we talk about
technoference we're referring to the everyday intrusions ( 侵 入 )and interruptions that people
experience due to mobile phones and their usage,” he said. “Our survey found technoference had
increased among men and women. For example, self-reports relating to the loss of sleep and
productivity showed that these negative outcomes had significantly increased during the last 13
years. This finding suggests that mobile phones are potentially increasingly affecting aspects of
daytime functioning due to lack of sleep.”
Compared to a 2005 study, “technoference” issues for 18- to 24-year-olds experienced a
surprising 40.9 percent rise, while those aged 25 to 29 also recorded a dramatic increase of 23.5
percent.
Oscar said that with the number of smartphone users around the world expected to surpass 2.5
billion before the end of this year, the problem of "technoference" could get even worse. “The speed
and depth of smartphone take-up makes our population particularly vulnerable to some of the
negative consequences of high mobile phone use,” he said. “Rapid technological innovations have
led to dramatic changes in today's mobile phone technology, which can improve the quality of life for phone users but also result in some negative outcomes.”
28. How are people affected by technoference according to the text?
A. It makes people addicted to communicating online.
B. It pushes people to work at a fast pace.
C. It causes people to sleep less at night.
D. It brings negative outcomes to people of all ages.
29. Which group are most influenced by smartphones?
A. Young women. B. Young mea. C. Children.
D. Seniors.
30. What does the underlined word "vulnerable" in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Widely spread. B. Deeply devoted. C. Easily hurt. D. Absolutely
accustomed.
31. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The increasing side effects of smartphones. B. Ways to solve technoference
problem.
C. Smartphones and people's happiness. D. The popularity of
smartphones.
D
Experts say that if food were a country, it would rank second behind the US as one of the
biggest greenhouse gas polluters. The reason is the rising demand for meat. Animal farming is
responsible for 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas methane emissions (甲烷排放). While cows
are the worst contributors, pigs, sheep, donkeys and other animals play a part as well.
Animal agriculture also causes land to become damaged, water to be polluted and forests to get
destroyed. With the world population forecast to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050, things are only looking
worse for our already decreasing natural resources. That is why experts are advocating substituting
some of the beef, chicken, or pork with ordinary insects!
Insects, which grow into adults within a matter of months, if not weeks, are ready for
consumption much faster than domestic (驯养的)animals. They also require much less room, use
less water and food, and produce far less greenhouse gas than animals.
Of the 1.1 million insect species worldwide, scientists have identified 1,700 as eatable. Among them are ants, grasshoppers, grubs, and earthworms. Just like animals, each insect has a different
taste. Tree worms taste just like pork, and grubs are similar to smoked meat.
While eating insects might be a new concept for Western people, a great number of people
worldwide consume insects as a regular part of their diet. Besides being delicious, insects are high in
protein and have very few calories. Insects can be prepared in many ways. Creative cooks can use
them to cook protein-rich soup, make baked treats, and even fry a few with vegetables. So eat
insects-both your body and Mother Earth will thank you for it!
32. Which of the following animals contribute to global methane emissions most?
A. Pigs. B. Cows. C. Sheep. D. Chickens.
33. How is the third paragraph mainly developed?
A. By asking questions. B. By providing examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By listing the numbers.
34. What do tree worms taste like?
A. Pig meat. B. Tomato soup. C. Fresh vegetables. D.
Fried chicken.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Few people eat insects regularly. B. Ordinary insects are high in fat.
C. Insects contain various vitamins. D. Eating insects is good for us and our
planet.
