Photographers Turn Their Cameras on Pets
In 2019 photographers Kendrick Brinson and David Walter Banks visited 14 countries on
assignment. When the couple described the adventures 21____________ they had experienced
when photographing, people invariably asked, “But who takes care of your four cats and dogs?”
They joked that the pet sitter (临时看护宠物的人) made a lot of money.
But 2020 couldn’t have been 22____________ (different). Due to COVID-19, Brinson and
Banks never left the United States. Often, they didn’t even leave their Los Angeles neighborhood.
23______ ______ spending long hours in airport security lines and waiting for the perfect lighting,
the pair stayed along with dogs Tux and Tia and cats Rex and Kudzu. “Our pets became emotional
therapy animals, and our only friends we could safely hug in a world 24____________ (strike) by
a deadly pandemic (大流行病),” Banks said.
As COVID-19 lockdowns swept across the world in March of 2020, the change made an
especially great impact on photographers, who are accustomed to 25____________ (spend) long
periods abroad. And so many cameras 26____________ (turn) on a domestic subject: the pet.
Research suggests that pets have offered emotional support during the pandemic, helping
27____________ (make) the long days of isolation more bearable, says Emily McCobb, a clinical
associate professor at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. In fact, the
pandemic has sped up a trend, according to McCobb’s and other scientists’ observation,
28____________ the pet is becoming a member of the family. “In the past 20 to 30 years, the role
of the pet in the family 29____________ (take) on a whole new role,” says McCobb. “It really
hasn’t been that long 30____________ these furry child substitutes gained this kind of importance
in American society.”

Landslide Injures at least 10 in Norwegian Town of Ask
A landslide (山体滑坡) has smashed into a residential area near the Norwegian capital at
midnight on Dec. 30, injuring at least 10 people, leaving 21 unaccounted for and 21____________
(destroy) several homes, authorities said. About 700 people have been brought to safety for fear of
further landslides.
The landslide cut across a road, leaving a deep gap that cars 22____________ not pass. Video
footage showed dramatic scenes including one house falling into the gap. Photographs showed at
least eight destroyed homes.
Rescue workers continued to search the area for children and adults 23____________
(believe) to have been caught in mud and debris (废墟), police said. “We’re still looking for

possibility 24____________ there might be survivors in collapsed buildings. He said 21 people

Weather at the time was reported to be challenging, with snowstorm sweeping the village of Ask,
26____________ about 5,000 people inhabited.
Norway’s King Harald said the landslide had made a deep impression on him. “My thoughts

and uncertainty of 27______ ______ damage the disaster has caused,” he said in a statement
released by the royal palace.
The area in which Ask 28____________ (locate) is known to have a lot of quick clay, which
can change from solid to liquid form. Previous landslides have been reported in the region.
Helicopters continued to circle over the area as night fell, 29____________ (lower) rescuers

How to Become a Morning Person?
You have grand ambitions: to start a business, to write a book. But chances are you work long
hours, or household responsibilities consume your days. By the time you finish all you have to do,
you will have had no energy 21____________ anything you want to do beyond turning on the TV.
Yet some busy people do make time for their priorities. The secret is giving the most
attention to 22____________ at the very beginning of a day. They get up earlier than they have to.
Morning by morning, they make progress on something 23____________ matters.
It’s not fun to force yourself out of bed, but these early hours are often the best time to do
things for yourself. With a little schedule reorganization, 24____________ (become) a morning
person is more doable than you think.
I first learned that mornings 25____________ be transformational years ago, when I was
studying a busy lawyer’s schedule. She wanted to spend more time with her son, but she had little
control over when she left work. This state of affairs kept her sad 26____________ she realized
she and her son were both early risers and the morning time could be made full use of. After
thinking it through, the lawyer decided to get up even earlier. Then, when the boy stepped into the
dining room, she 27____________ (finish) preparing a rich breakfast so they two could enjoy the
meal to the fullest together.
Mornings are also great for focused thinking. Get up an hour earlier, and you can knock out
your most important task of the day. Or you can spare some time for those creative desires
28____________ (bury) deep in your heart and hard to nurture.
But many will argue: I’m not a morning person! The fact is that there are not so many true
night owls. When most people take an honest look at 29____________ they’re spending the hours
before bed, they’ll find they have wasted much time on the TV programs they don’t mean
30____________ (watch). Also, they often browse through photos on social media of people they
didn’t like in high school anyway.
A better approach is to sleep earlier, rise earlier and turn unproductive evening hours into
productive morning hours.

Why Acting Is So Much More Than It Appears to Be
For many people, acting appears to be people talking while getting emotional, which is why
so many people think they can do it. No one imagines 21____________ waking up one day and
being a professional singer or pianist. But for actors, they say, “Acting is hard only
22____________ one has to memorize lines. If I could remember, I could be an actor, too.”
But acting isn’t just about memorizing lines and talking in conversational reality. As Meisner
said, “Acting is doing things truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” If 23____________
(understand) correctly, this definition is an ambitious and remarkable thing to strive for.
To do things truthfully, actors must acquire many challenging skills. 24____________ these
skills, the script will remain flat on the page, despite being recited out loud. To make a script come
to life in a believable way, the actor 25____________ make active choices.
Imagine for a moment how many different ways there are 26____________ (deliver) one
single line. Even something as simple as “close the door” can mean so many different things and
27____________ (express) in so many different ways. The words are the writer’s, but the behavior
28____________ brings them to vivid life? That is the actor.
The goal of great actors? That’s to act naturally. Good quality acting must always come down
to a kind of naturalness that makes those acting skills 29____________ (visible) to the audience.
In other words, a good actor must not appear to be acting at all.
So do not be fooled into thinking that 30____________ can read and speak can be an actor.
The naturalness displayed by great actors is exactly what makes you think that way, but it took
them years of training to get to this point. It is so much more than you know.
