• 2．Learning to say "yes，and" When I first heard about the improvisation （即興表演） class，I was hesitating.As a quiet and shy girl，I feared to improvise in front of strangers.However，I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my PhD，so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively.I signed up，knowing the experience would give me help.
     During our first class，we learned an important concept of improvisation - "yes，and".It means that，as improvisers，we'd better accept what fellow performers say.If someone says that rhinos （犀牛） are librarians，for example，then rhinos are librarians.We do not question the logic；we say "yes" and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.
     The first few scenes were hard，but as weeks turned into months，I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes.I became better at listening，relating to my conversation partners，and communicating clearly.Once when I was giving a presentation about my science，one of the audience surprised me with a question that didn't grow out of the information I'd presented.Instead of getting confused and nervous，I took the "yes，and" approach - accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked.That helped me find an appropriate answer.I got pretty excited about it.
     The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication.Before attending the class，I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data，thinking that I had made a mistake.But now，instead of getting discouraged，I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real，keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell - one that isn't behaving as expected.
     I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson.If the data say rhinos are librarians，then it's worth finding out whether rhinos are，in fact，librarians.As scientists，our job isn't to challenge data that support a preconceived （預(yù)想的） story，but to say "yes，and".
  
  （1）Why did the author attend the improvisation class？

  
  A．To get a different experience.
  B．To finish her PhD.
  C．To give up her job as a science communicator.
  D．To improve her speaking and communicating ability.
  （2）What was the author's change after attending the improvisation class？

  
  A．She formed her own idea quickly.
  B．She came up with lots of creative responses.
  C．She paid more attention to the logic of answers.
  D．She became a good listener before giving an opinion.
  （3）The author mentioned applying the "yes，and" approach to her scientific experiments to

  .
  A．explain the process of using the method
  B．prove the benefits of the improvisation class
  C．share her own research experiences with readers
  D．a(chǎn)ttract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class
  （4）What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph？

  
  A．They should attend the improvisation class.
  B．They should question all preconceived ideas.
  C．They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.
  D．They should try to improve their professional knowledge.

• 3．Social distancing is not a new concept in the natural world，where infectious diseases are commonplace.Through specialized senses animals can detect certain diseases and change their behavior to avoid getting ill.
     In 1966，while studying chimps （猩猩） in a Tanzanian national park，zoologist Jane Goodall observed a chimp named McGregor who had caught a highly infectious virus.His fellow chimps attacked him and threw him out of the troop.In one instance，McGregor approached chimps in a tree.He reached out a hand in greeting，but the others moved away without a backward glance.
     "For a full two minutes，old McGregor sat motionless，staring after them，" Goodall notes in her 1971 book In the Shadow of Man. "It's really not that different to how some societies react to such a tragedy today."
     Not all animals are so aggressive toward their ailing neighbors.Sometimes it's as simple as avoiding those who may infect you.
     When Kiesecker，a lead scientist in America，studied the American bullfrog in the late 1990s，he found that bullfrogs could not only detect a deadly smell of infection in other bullfrogs，but healthy members actively avoided those that were sick.Bullfrogs rely on chemical signals to determine who is sick or not.
     Caribbean lobsters also shun diseased members of their community，well before they become infectious.It takes about eight weeks for lobsters infected with the deadly virus to become dangerous to others.Normally social animals，lobsters begin keeping away from the diseased as early as four weeks after infection - once the lobsters can smell certain chemicals released by sick individuals.
     "Overall，it's important to note that，unlike us，animals don't realize if they stay home，they might actually reduce the infection rate，" Kiesecker explains. "As humans，we have that abiljye.aiy.It's a big difference."
  
  （1）What can we learn about the chimps from Goodall's observation？

  
  A．They kept a distance from one another.
  B．They became aggressive when infected.
  C．The infected avoided contact with others.
  D．The infected were forced to leave the group.
  （2）What does the underlined word "shun" in Paragraph 6 probably mean？

  
  A．Avoid.
  B．Cure.
  C．Get rid of.
  D．Get along with.
  （3）How are humans different from animals according to Kiesecker？

  
  A．Humans are more sensitive to virus.
  B．Humans are less likely to get infected.
  C．Humans treat infectious diseases in a wiser way.
  D．Humans can detect chemical signals more quickly.
  （4）What might be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Help Me Out
  B．Leave Me Alone
  C．Stay Away From Us
  D．Stay Home，Stay Healthy

      It was International Women's Day. I decided to give my mother the surprise. Immediately after school， she started to prepare dinner. It is the first time that I had cooked something on my own. Not knowing the exact procedure to cook，I read some recipe first. Keeping that I had learned in mind，I got down to cook. Almost an hour later， three simple but delicious dishes were ready on the table. No soon had everything been ready than my mother came to back. A big smile with both surprise and satisfaction spread on Mom's face when she found the hearty dinner but the tidy room. At that moment， I took pride at what I had done.
