Researchers have confirmed that there are several effective methods for cleaning the N95 masks worn by health professionals so that they can be used more than once, the National Institutes of Health announced Wednesday.
A research already showed that the masks, designed for one-time use, can be reused in a crisis. And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in March authorized reuse because of shortages driven by the Covid-19 pandemic.
None of these rules or methods are intended for the cloth masks recommended or in some locations required for use by everyone in public.
Earlier research had not, of course, involved the new coronavirus. The new research determined which cleaning procedures were most effective.
N.I.H. publicized the study because it could be helpful to health care professionals in the crisis. Dr. Munster and his colleagues tested four methods of killing the virus: UV light, dry heat, vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) (汽化过氧化氢) and ethyl (乙醇) alcohol. Of those methods, they did not recommend ethyl alcohol because although it killed the virus, it degraded the mask material.
Vaporized hydrogen peroxide, a method often available in large hospitals, was effective, and left the masks still functioning for at least three rounds of cleaning, as did UV light.
Dry heat, at 70°C, was effective, but the masks withstood only two rounds of cleaning. Dr. Munster said that “vaporized hydrogen peroxide would be the method of choice if that’s available.” However, he said, a nursing home might not have that, while for dry heat, what’s needed is basically an oven.
Another recent study from Canadian researchers confirmed the value of cleaning. It included masks of different brands and found that the material of the mask was still effective after 10 rounds of vaporized hydrogen peroxide cleaning.
The findings are intended to be useful for health care workers wearing N95 masks. With personal protective equipment in short supply at many overwhelmed hospitals, some front-line workers have complained that masks were rationed.
The public has been advised not to use or try to buy N95 masks because they would be preventing health care workers from having lifesaving equipment.
58. Of the different cleaning procedures of N95 masks, which one is the least effective?
A. UV light B. dry heat
C. vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) D. ethyl alcohol
59. In a dictionary, the underlined word “ration” has the following explanations. Which explanation do you think agrees with the context?
A. a fixed allowance of something that is scarce
B. the amount of something one normally has
C. to assign to someone for a particular purpose.
D. to restrict the distribution of something
60. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The public has been advised not to use N95 masks.
B. The health care workers are in great need of N95 masks.
C. N.I.H. announced N95 masks can be reused if cleaned effectively.
D. Personal protective equipment is in short supply at many hospitals.
C
The Covid-19 disaster will have many losers, but it already has one clear winner: big tech. The large digital platforms, including Alphabet and Facebook, will come out of the crisis even stronger. They should use this good chance to reset their sometimes tense relations with their users. Otherwise the government is likely to do it for them.
Demand for online services has exploded and the infrastructure(基础结构) behind the internet has proved to be admirably reliable. Newcomers such as Slack and Zoom, which help businesses operate remotely, have become household names. Facebook has said that messaging activity has increased by 50% in those countries hit hard by the virus. Amazon is planning to hire 100,000 new staff to keep up with higher e-commerce.
Just as the big firms are standing even taller, many of the tech industry’s younger, smaller firms are being crushed since the dotcom crash 20 years ago. Even before the coronavirus hit, trouble was starting to develop. Among many firms catering to consumers, the strategy of growing at all costs had turned out to be problematic. Some firms had already started laying off people. All this will make it easier for the big firms to hire the best talent.
If that happens, it is likely that regulators will do little or nothing to stop a round of expansion. In America antitrust(反垄断)investigations against Alphabet, Google’s parent, and Facebook have essentially been put on hold, as officials deal with other priorities during a crisis. A new federal privacy law seems further away than ever. Even tech sceptics(怀疑者) in the European Union want to rethink their approach to regulating artificial intelligence (AI). In an abrupt twist, big tech’s business practice is essential to deal with the virus. Yet, before Covid-19, such activity would have caused howls of great anger over privacy and prejudice.
In fact, more than ever it is clear that big tech firms play vital roles. There lies the trap, because almost everywhere other big firms, such as water or electricity, are heavily regulated and have their prices and profits capped (规定限额). Once this crisis passes, concerned citizens and governments could make a push for the state to have similar control over big tech.
The companies seem to sense this danger. Their best defence is to propose a new deal to the citizens of the world. That means clear rules on how they publish and moderate content, helping users own, control and profit from their own data, as well as fair treatment of competitors that use their platforms. This approach may even be more profitable in the long run. Today the most valuable firm in America is Microsoft, which has been more successful by building a reputation for being trustworthy.
61. The writer suggests the big techs use the outbreak of Covid-19 to _____________.
A. escape from the crisis of large digital platforms
B. improve their relationship with their users
C. ask for help from the government
D. demand more online services and reliable infrastructure
62. What has led big tech firms’ business to increase rapidly?
A. The crush of the tech industry.
B. The strategy of growing at all costs.
C. The stricter antitrust investigations.
D. The loosened government regulations.
63. What does “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The easier access of best tech talents to big tech firms.
B. The severe unemployment rate in companies.
C. The fast spread of the coronavirus.
D. A new round of expansion of big firms.
64. In Paragraph 6, Microsoft is used as an example of _____________.
A. benefiting from good relations with its users
B. catering to consumers whatever they want
C. sensing danger from other big firms in time
D. being heavily regulated by the government
D
Kemira Boyd had just jumped in the shower when she heard her stepmother, Tammy Boyd, banging on the door. Kemira’s 12-day-old daughter was choking. Having fed baby Ryleigh just 30 minutes earlier, the 24-year-old new mother burst out of the bathroom and began patting her daughter on the back. Ryleigh was usually quick to cry. Now she didn’t make a sound. “I’d been told to raise their arms when babies are choking, so I tried that, but she still was hesitating to breathe,” Kemira told Today. She knew Ryleigh needed to get to the hospital fast.
The trio had barely made it out of their Summerville, South Carolina, neighborhood when the flashing lights of a police patrol car appeared behind them. Deputy Will Kimbro figured that the speeding driver was either too distracted to notice him or simply unconcerned. ① Kimbro soon found out it was a frightening combination of the two.
Once she had pulled over to the roadside, a crazy Tammy jumped out of the car, exclaiming that her granddaughter had stopped breathing. Desperate for help, Kemira handed the baby to Kimbro. He put a hand on her little chest. Ryleigh’s heart was barely beating.
Kimbro radioed for an ambulance — it was seven minutes out, and the hospital was even further away. That was seven minutes Ryleigh didn’t have, her lips already a bad shade of blue. ② He is a school resource officer who usually spends his days patrolling the halls of the middle school ten miles away. But he travels farther away when school is out in the summer. Even luckier: he had recently completed a CPR class and knew exactly how to treat a baby. “Although I was shocked, my training kicked in, and I went to work to keep that baby alive,” says Kimbro.
The deputy gave Ryleigh to Kemira to hold, his hands busy as he checked for a pulse. Then he began tapping and pressing Ryleigh’s chest, hoping to massage her heart back into action. Thanks to the CPR class, Kimbro knew the choking baby didn’t have a chance if there was a blockage, and he used one finger to clear her airway. That was the magic touch; 20 seconds later, Ryleigh began to fuss. Then came a weak crying sound. “If she is crying like that, she is breathing,” said Kimbro, the relief apparent in his trembling voice. “As long as she is crying, she is breathing.”
But they still had five more minutes until EMT would arrive, and Kimbro worried that Ryleigh would be unable to breathe again. He continued with delicate chest compressions and periodically clearing her airway. “The whole time I was thinking ‘Do not let this baby die in front of her mother and grandmother’,” he later told Inside Edition.
③ In the body cam footage, Kimbro can be heard reassuring Kemira, the approaching sirens wailing in the background: “I didn’t feel a heartbeat earlier, so I started massaging her heart, and now I feel it. It’s real strong now.”
After transferring Ryleigh to an EMT, Kimbro peeked into the windows of the ambulance until it pulled away. ④ At the hospital, Ryleigh recovered quickly, and she was back to her usual active self in no time — thanks to a determined school police officer who was in the right place at the right time. Said Kimbro to the Washington Post, “That baby was living no matter what I had to do.”
65. Why did Kemira decide to send Ryleigh to hospital?
A. Ryleigh remained asleep.
B. Ryleigh was quick to cry.
C. Ryleigh frightened Tammy to death.
D. Ryleigh had difficulty breathing.
66. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Hardly had the police car appeared when Kemira spotted it and made a stop.
B. Tammy and Kemira were so anxious for help that they were caught speeding.
C. Knowing Kimbro could save the baby, Kemira handed her daughter to him.
D. A CPR lesson is a must for police officers in Summerville, South Carolina.
67. “The fact that Kimbro was there was something of a miracle.”
Which blank does this sentence best fit in?
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
68. How can Kimbro’s life-saving process be described?
A. It was professional and delicate.
B. It was vital for Kimbro’s career.
C. It was tense and tiresome for Kimbro.
D. It was awkward and shocking.
69. What did Kimbro mean by saying “That baby was living no matter what I had to do”?
A. The baby would have survived even if he hadn’t done anything.
B. He patrolled away from the middle school in order to save the baby’s life.
C. He considered it his responsibility to be in the right place at the right time.
D. He was determined to keep the baby alive and not to let the mother down.
70. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. A Lifesaving Traffic Stop
B. Life Miracle for Kemira
C. The Power of the Policeman
D. The Value of Determination

How to raise a sweet boy in an era of anger
Hours after I gave birth to my first child, my husband held our five-pound boy in his arms and said, gently, “Hi, Sweet pea.” Not “Buddy” or “Little Man.” Sweet pea. The word filled me with unexpected comfort. Like most parents, we knew what we’d name our son but never discussed how we’d speak to him. I was witnessing my husband’s commitment to raising a sweet boy.
Because this is what the world needs now, urgently: sweet boys and people who grow them.
There are so many angry men among us. There are angry women, too, but they’re only beginning to claim this emotion that has long been denied them. Women’s public anger is the kind of anger that gives girls voices, such as MeToo. But men’s anger tries to shut down the voices of others. Today’s angriest women encourage people to solve a problem; today’s angriest men murder.
A man uses his car to murder an anti-Nazi protestor. A man shoots a congressman at his baseball practice. A man commits mass murder at a Vegas concert. A man kills a large number of worshippers in their church…
The world has turned so upside down that it is impossible for a man to display his vulnerability(脆弱). Walk into any baby store, and you can see clothes for newborns declare, “TOUGH LIKE DADDY”. They don’t receive explicit encouragement to fully access their emotions. Boys have always known they could do anything; all they had to do was look around at their presidents, religious leaders, professional athletes, at the statues that stand erect in big cities and small. Girls have always known they were allowed to feel anything — except anger. Now girls, led by women, are being told they can own righteous anger. Now they can feel what they want and be what they want.
What about boys? The boy taught from infancy to be tough still seems emotionally doomed. It’s time to change.
We don’t need to raise kids with gender neutrality or deny natural differences between boys and girls. We do need to recognize that children, regardless of gender, have natural sweetness that we, as a society, would do well to develop and preserve.
Sweet boys grow up to be men who recognize the strength in being vulnerable and sympathetic. Sweet boys are children who’ve been given, by their parents and wider society, the permission to feel everything and to express those emotions without shame.
At a young age, this should be done explicitly, in organized discussions at school. It must be done all the time in our family homes. Parents must invite their sons to be sad, afraid, hurt, silly and affectionate, and must embrace them as often as they hug and kiss their daughters. Sweet boys learn early on that they can defend themselves against loneliness by reaching out and asking for support rather than turning into people who, literally, grab for power. Sweet boys evolve into open-hearted men who aren’t confused about consent and sexual boundaries, because they experience women as equals. Boys will not be merely boys. If we let them, boys will be human.

Communities in Suzhou have recently organized a series of events in a move to advocate garbage classification. Through these activities, people have gained better insight into the significance of waste sorting.
Garbage classification contributes to a cleaner living environment and more economical use of resources, which can reduce the output of garbage for each household. Besides, it lessens the burden on the society as a whole by breaking the heavy workload into relatively affordable jobs for individuals, which in turn results in effective recycling and general welfare.
As a student, I’ve developed a good habit of recycling and reusing. I’ve involved myself in services that contribute to a clean environment, and I will not hesitate to sign up for educating activities that help promote the public’s ideas of environment protection. Hopefully, with the joint efforts of citizens, we’ll enjoy a greener and more sustainable Suzhou in the near future.

W: Today Alex Smith, a relief worker with the International Committee of the Red Cross, or the ICRC, will talk to us about the ICRC’s approach to giving assistance. Alex, can you tell us about how the ICRC assists victims of natural disasters?
M: Well, often natural disasters happen in areas with some other sort of problem, such as an economic crisis, or a period of political unrest, which makes the people even more desperate. The ICRC identifies the needs and adapts.
W: How is that done?
M: Normally, preference must be given to essentials like food, and water.
W: What about health care? Isn’t that important?
M: Obviously. But if a person is starving and thirsty, it does not matter how good the health care is. We also provide financial help in some countries even before anything has occurred.
W: Is it dangerous working for the ICRC?
M: There are always dangers, but all of us are strongly motivated by our work, and hopefully we can all cope with the stress.

We’ve talked before about how ants live and work together in huge communities. Well, one particular kind of ant community also grows its own food. These ants are like people—like farmers.
This particular kind of ant is called a leafcutter ant. Because of their name, people often think that leafcutter ants eat leaves. Well, they don’t! They actually use the leaves to make mushrooms grow better. Leafcutter ants feed the leaves to the mushrooms—the mushrooms are able to absorb nutrients from the leaves. What the ants eat are the mushrooms that they grow. In that way, they are like farmers!
The amazing thing about these ants is that the leaves they get are often larger and heavier than the ants themselves. In fact, some experiments have been done to measure the heaviest leaf a leafcutter ant can lift without cutting it. It turns out that it depends on the individual ant. Some are stronger than others. The experiments showed that some “super ants” can lift leaves about 100 times the weight of their body!

Researchers have confirmed that there are several effective methods for cleaning the N95 masks worn by health professionals so that they can be used more than once, the National Institutes of Health announced Wednesday.
A research already showed that the masks, designed for one-time use, can be reused in a crisis. And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in March authorized reuse because of shortages driven by the Covid-19 pandemic.
None of these rules or methods are intended for the cloth masks recommended or in some locations required for use by everyone in public.
Earlier research had not, of course, involved the new coronavirus. The new research determined which cleaning procedures were most effective.
N.I.H. publicized the study because it could be helpful to health care professionals in the crisis. Dr. Munster and his colleagues tested four methods of killing the virus: UV light, dry heat, vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) (汽化过氧化氢) and ethyl (乙醇) alcohol. Of those methods, they did not recommend ethyl alcohol because although it killed the virus, it degraded the mask material.
Vaporized hydrogen peroxide, a method often available in large hospitals, was effective, and left the masks still functioning for at least three rounds of cleaning, as did UV light.
Dry heat, at 70°C, was effective, but the masks withstood only two rounds of cleaning. Dr. Munster said that “vaporized hydrogen peroxide would be the method of choice if that’s available.” However, he said, a nursing home might not have that, while for dry heat, what’s needed is basically an oven.
Another recent study from Canadian researchers confirmed the value of cleaning. It included masks of different brands and found that the material of the mask was still effective after 10 rounds of vaporized hydrogen peroxide cleaning.
The findings are intended to be useful for health care workers wearing N95 masks. With personal protective equipment in short supply at many overwhelmed hospitals, some front-line workers have complained that masks were rationed.
The public has been advised not to use or try to buy N95 masks because they would be preventing health care workers from having lifesaving equipment.
58. Of the different cleaning procedures of N95 masks, which one is the least effective?
A. UV light B. dry heat
C. vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) D. ethyl alcohol
59. In a dictionary, the underlined word “ration” has the following explanations. Which explanation do you think agrees with the context?
A. a fixed allowance of something that is scarce
B. the amount of something one normally has
C. to assign to someone for a particular purpose.
D. to restrict the distribution of something
60. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The public has been advised not to use N95 masks.
B. The health care workers are in great need of N95 masks.
C. N.I.H. announced N95 masks can be reused if cleaned effectively.
D. Personal protective equipment is in short supply at many hospitals.
C
The Covid-19 disaster will have many losers, but it already has one clear winner: big tech. The large digital platforms, including Alphabet and Facebook, will come out of the crisis even stronger. They should use this good chance to reset their sometimes tense relations with their users. Otherwise the government is likely to do it for them.
Demand for online services has exploded and the infrastructure(基础结构) behind the internet has proved to be admirably reliable. Newcomers such as Slack and Zoom, which help businesses operate remotely, have become household names. Facebook has said that messaging activity has increased by 50% in those countries hit hard by the virus. Amazon is planning to hire 100,000 new staff to keep up with higher e-commerce.
Just as the big firms are standing even taller, many of the tech industry’s younger, smaller firms are being crushed since the dotcom crash 20 years ago. Even before the coronavirus hit, trouble was starting to develop. Among many firms catering to consumers, the strategy of growing at all costs had turned out to be problematic. Some firms had already started laying off people. All this will make it easier for the big firms to hire the best talent.
If that happens, it is likely that regulators will do little or nothing to stop a round of expansion. In America antitrust(反垄断)investigations against Alphabet, Google’s parent, and Facebook have essentially been put on hold, as officials deal with other priorities during a crisis. A new federal privacy law seems further away than ever. Even tech sceptics(怀疑者) in the European Union want to rethink their approach to regulating artificial intelligence (AI). In an abrupt twist, big tech’s business practice is essential to deal with the virus. Yet, before Covid-19, such activity would have caused howls of great anger over privacy and prejudice.
In fact, more than ever it is clear that big tech firms play vital roles. There lies the trap, because almost everywhere other big firms, such as water or electricity, are heavily regulated and have their prices and profits capped (规定限额). Once this crisis passes, concerned citizens and governments could make a push for the state to have similar control over big tech.
The companies seem to sense this danger. Their best defence is to propose a new deal to the citizens of the world. That means clear rules on how they publish and moderate content, helping users own, control and profit from their own data, as well as fair treatment of competitors that use their platforms. This approach may even be more profitable in the long run. Today the most valuable firm in America is Microsoft, which has been more successful by building a reputation for being trustworthy.
61. The writer suggests the big techs use the outbreak of Covid-19 to _____________.
A. escape from the crisis of large digital platforms
B. improve their relationship with their users
C. ask for help from the government
D. demand more online services and reliable infrastructure
62. What has led big tech firms’ business to increase rapidly?
A. The crush of the tech industry.
B. The strategy of growing at all costs.
C. The stricter antitrust investigations.
D. The loosened government regulations.
63. What does “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The easier access of best tech talents to big tech firms.
B. The severe unemployment rate in companies.
C. The fast spread of the coronavirus.
D. A new round of expansion of big firms.
64. In Paragraph 6, Microsoft is used as an example of _____________.
A. benefiting from good relations with its users
B. catering to consumers whatever they want

Kemira Boyd had just jumped in the shower when she heard her stepmother, Tammy Boyd, banging on the door. Kemira’s 12-day-old daughter was choking. Having fed baby Ryleigh just 30 minutes earlier, the 24-year-old new mother burst out of the bathroom and began patting her daughter on the back. Ryleigh was usually quick to cry. Now she didn’t make a sound. “I’d been told to raise their arms when babies are choking, so I tried that, but she still was hesitating to breathe,” Kemira told Today. She knew Ryleigh needed to get to the hospital fast.
The trio had barely made it out of their Summerville, South Carolina, neighborhood when the flashing lights of a police patrol car appeared behind them. Deputy Will Kimbro figured that the speeding driver was either too distracted to notice him or simply unconcerned. ① Kimbro soon found out it was a frightening combination of the two.
Once she had pulled over to the roadside, a crazy Tammy jumped out of the car, exclaiming that her granddaughter had stopped breathing. Desperate for help, Kemira handed the baby to Kimbro. He put a hand on her little chest. Ryleigh’s heart was barely beating.
Kimbro radioed for an ambulance — it was seven minutes out, and the hospital was even further away. That was seven minutes Ryleigh didn’t have, her lips already a bad shade of blue. ② He is a school resource officer who usually spends his days patrolling the halls of the middle school ten miles away. But he travels farther away when school is out in the summer. Even luckier: he had recently completed a CPR class and knew exactly how to treat a baby. “Although I was shocked, my training kicked in, and I went to work to keep that baby alive,” says Kimbro.
The deputy gave Ryleigh to Kemira to hold, his hands busy as he checked for a pulse. Then he began tapping and pressing Ryleigh’s chest, hoping to massage her heart back into action. Thanks to the CPR class, Kimbro knew the choking baby didn’t have a chance if there was a blockage, and he used one finger to clear her airway. That was the magic touch; 20 seconds later, Ryleigh began to fuss. Then came a weak crying sound. “If she is crying like that, she is breathing,” said Kimbro, the relief apparent in his trembling voice. “As long as she is crying, she is breathing.”
But they still had five more minutes until EMT would arrive, and Kimbro worried that Ryleigh would be unable to breathe again. He continued with delicate chest compressions and periodically clearing her airway. “The whole time I was thinking ‘Do not let this baby die in front of her mother and grandmother’,” he later told Inside Edition.
③ In the body cam footage, Kimbro can be heard reassuring Kemira, the approaching sirens wailing in the background: “I didn’t feel a heartbeat earlier, so I started massaging her heart, and now I feel it. It’s real strong now.”
After transferring Ryleigh to an EMT, Kimbro peeked into the windows of the ambulance until it pulled away. ④ At the hospital, Ryleigh recovered quickly, and she was back to her usual active self in no time — thanks to a determined school police officer who was in the right place at the right time. Said Kimbro to the Washington Post, “That baby was living no matter what I had to do.”
65. Why did Kemira decide to send Ryleigh to hospital?
A. Ryleigh remained asleep.
B. Ryleigh was quick to cry.
C. Ryleigh frightened Tammy to death.
D. Ryleigh had difficulty breathing.
66. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Hardly had the police car appeared when Kemira spotted it and made a stop.
B. Tammy and Kemira were so anxious for help that they were caught speeding.
C. Knowing Kimbro could save the baby, Kemira handed her daughter to him.
D. A CPR lesson is a must for police officers in Summerville, South Carolina.
67. “The fact that Kimbro was there was something of a miracle.”
Which blank does this sentence best fit in?
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
68. How can Kimbro’s life-saving process be described?
A. It was professional and delicate.
B. It was vital for Kimbro’s career.
C. It was tense and tiresome for Kimbro.
D. It was awkward and shocking.
69. What did Kimbro mean by saying “That baby was living no matter what I had to do”?
A. The baby would have survived even if he hadn’t done anything.
B. He patrolled away from the middle school in order to save the baby’s life.
C. He considered it his responsibility to be in the right place at the right time.
D. He was determined to keep the baby alive and not to let the mother down.
70. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. A Lifesaving Traffic Stop
B. Life Miracle for Kemira
C. The Power of the Policeman
D. The Value of Determination

How to raise a sweet boy in an era of anger
Hours after I gave birth to my first child, my husband held our five-pound boy in his arms and said, gently, “Hi, Sweet pea.” Not “Buddy” or “Little Man.” Sweet pea. The word filled me with unexpected comfort. Like most parents, we knew what we’d name our son but never discussed how we’d speak to him. I was witnessing my husband’s commitment to raising a sweet boy.
Because this is what the world needs now, urgently: sweet boys and people who grow them.
There are so many angry men among us. There are angry women, too, but they’re only beginning to claim this emotion that has long been denied them. Women’s public anger is the kind of anger that gives girls voices, such as MeToo. But men’s anger tries to shut down the voices of others. Today’s angriest women encourage people to solve a problem; today’s angriest men murder.
A man uses his car to murder an anti-Nazi protestor. A man shoots a congressman at his baseball practice. A man commits mass murder at a Vegas concert. A man kills a large number of worshippers in their church…
The world has turned so upside down that it is impossible for a man to display his vulnerability(脆弱). Walk into any baby store, and you can see clothes for newborns declare, “TOUGH LIKE DADDY”. They don’t receive explicit encouragement to fully access their emotions. Boys have always known they could do anything; all they had to do was look around at their presidents, religious leaders, professional athletes, at the statues that stand erect in big cities and small. Girls have always known they were allowed to feel anything — except anger. Now girls, led by women, are being told they can own righteous anger. Now they can feel what they want and be what they want.
What about boys? The boy taught from infancy to be tough still seems emotionally doomed. It’s time to change.
We don’t need to raise kids with gender neutrality or deny natural differences between boys and girls. We do need to recognize that children, regardless of gender, have natural sweetness that we, as a society, would do well to develop and preserve.
Sweet boys grow up to be men who recognize the strength in being vulnerable and sympathetic. Sweet boys are children who’ve been given, by their parents and wider society, the permission to feel everything and to express those emotions without shame.
At a young age, this should be done explicitly, in organized discussions at school. It must be done all the time in our family homes. Parents must invite their sons to be sad, afraid, hurt, silly and affectionate, and must embrace them as often as they hug and kiss their daughters. Sweet boys learn early on that they can defend themselves against loneliness by reaching out and asking for support rather than turning into people who, literally, grab for power. Sweet boys evolve into open-hearted men who aren’t confused about consent and sexual boundaries, because they experience women as equals. Boys will not be merely boys. If we let them, boys will be human.

Many residents watched the debate and acquired a good knowledge of garbage classification in the process. Still another community offered the local administrative staff working on garbage disposal (处置) and environmental protection and staff from the local property management company a chance to visit a community in Wujiang District, Suzhou to learn experience for more efficient garbage classification.

六、书面表达
Communities in Suzhou have recently organized a series of events in a move to advocate garbage classification. Through these activities, people have gained better insight into the significance of waste sorting.
Garbage classification contributes to a cleaner living environment and more economical use of resources, which can reduce the output of garbage for each household. Besides, it lessens the burden on the society as a whole by breaking the heavy workload into relatively affordable jobs for individuals, which in turn results in effective recycling and general welfare.
As a student, I’ve developed a good habit of recycling and reusing. I’ve involved myself in services that contribute to a clean environment, and I will not hesitate to sign up for educating activities that help promote the public’s ideas of environment protection. Hopefully, with the joint efforts of citizens, we’ll enjoy a greener and more sustainable Suzhou in the near future.

W: How is that done?
M: Normally, preference must be given to essentials like food, and water.
W: What about health care? Isn’t that important?
M: Obviously. But if a person is starving and thirsty, it does not matter how good the health care is. We also provide financial help in some countries even before anything has occurred.

We’ve talked before about how ants live and work together in huge communities. Well, one particular kind of ant community also grows its own food. These ants are like people—like farmers.
This particular kind of ant is called a leafcutter ant. Because of their name, people often think that leafcutter ants eat leaves. Well, they don’t! They actually use the leaves to make mushrooms grow better. Leafcutter ants feed the leaves to the mushrooms—the mushrooms are able to absorb nutrients from the leaves. What the ants eat are the mushrooms that they grow. In that way, they are like farmers!
The amazing thing about these ants is that the leaves they get are often larger and heavier than the ants themselves. In fact, some experiments have been done to measure the heaviest leaf a leafcutter ant can lift without cutting it. It turns out that it depends on the individual ant. Some are stronger than others. The experiments showed that some “super ants” can lift leaves about 100 times the weight of their body!
