The National Trust in England is looking for someone to work as a ranger on the Fame Islmds, one of Britain’s oldest nature reserves located just off the Northumberland coast.

For $22,668 a year, the successful applicant will be required to look after the local wildlife, including the 200 seal pups which are born on the islands each year and 37,000 pairs of puffins.

The ranger will get the chance to work in some of the nation’s most attractive places and spaces — impressive sunrises a one-minute ride and one of England’s largest seal colonies on his doorstep. But like every job, it doesn’t come without a downside. Apart from avoiding the dive-bombing Arctic terns, there is no running water on the island and there will be severe storms to fight with during the spring.

Along with a love of nature and the outdoors, the National Trust is looking for “an excellent team player” who has experience in conservation work. This job isn’t the normal 9 to 5, so being good at PowerPoint isn’t a must. With 50,000 annual visitors every year, you really need to be able to get on with people and show them how they can participate to help nature.

27、   Many Americans are busy preparing lists of what to give friends or loved ones. This season, people will be able to buy a cargo-carrying (载货) robot that follows them around like a dog. But it is unclear if the robot will be a popular gift.

Large companies like Amazon, FedEx and Ford have already been experimenting with sending delivery robots to homes across the United States. Now an Italian company is offering robots directly to consumers (顾客). The new robot, called “the Gita”, weighs about 23 kilograms and costs $ 3,250.

The robot's creators had short trips in mind when they designed it. “The Gita” is a “hands-free carrier" that can hold fruits, vegetables and other things as it follows its owner down the street. “The Gita” does not. require use of a telephone; it also does not use GPS technology or facial recognition.

Whether the robot will be a success is not yet clear. Tech experts say “the Gita” may fail. They hope the company finds more purposes of using it to contribute to its success. Examples include carrying tools around hospitals, factory floors or places where products are stored. The robots can carry up to 9 kilograms, So far, the best places to find the company' s six wheeled robot are US colleges: The University of Houston and the University of Wisconsin Madison.

Sadie Garcia is a student at the University of Houston. “I love them. I think they're so cute," she said, as one of the machines arrived carrying a sandwich for her in the dining hall. Garcia said she was so cold that she did not want to leave her room. Starship co-founder Ahti Heinla said his company once thought about selling the machines directly to consumers. But the business dropped the idea after discovering it would have to sell them for more than $ 3,000 each.

【1】What is"the Gita"designed to do?

A.Fight with other robots. B.Buy things for its owner.

C.Carry things for its owner. D.Help college students do homework.

【2】What do tech experts expect the company to do for“the Gita”?

A.Find more uses for it. B.Keep advertising it.

C.Improve its reaction rate. D.Encourage hospitals to use it.

【3】What stops“the Gita”from being sold directly to consumers?

A.The low quality. B.The high price.

C.The limited number. D.The poor performance.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A.A science magazine. B.A detective story.

C.A travel guide. D.A life diary.

28、Flying to another country can sometimes take several days. But the designer of a futuristic jet (喷气式飞机) says his plane could take you around the world in your lunch break.

According to an article in The Sun, the plane, called the Antipode, could carry 10 people and use rocket boosters to go 12 km high. 【1】 Or it could fly from New York to Shanghai in 24 minutes.

An ordinary Boeing 747 has a top speed of 917 km/h. The fastest plane in the world right now is Air Force One. It carries the president of the United States and can reach 1,092 km/h. 【2】

Canadian designer Charles Bombardier says his plane could be 10 times faster than the Concorde, which could fly at 2,180 km/h. The Concorde was the world’s fastest passenger plane between 1976 and 2003. But the Concorde was very noisy and its nose got dangerously hot when it flew. A Concorde crashed in 2000, killing 114 people. 【3】

【4】 It stops the plane from overheating and having the same problems that the Concorde did. New technology, recently tested by NASA, makes the Antipode the perfect shape and weight to fly fast and safely.

“It’s always something that people would like a transportation system that could take you from one place on the planet to the other side,” Mr. Bombardier told the BBC.

【5】 The design is just a concept and will need more research before it becomes a reality.

A．No Concordes were flown again after 2003.

B．There are huge differences between high-speed planes.

C．But the Antipode would probably reach a crazy 25,750 km/h!

D．Don’t try to buy a ticket for the plane yet, though.

E．Then it could fly from London to New York in less than 20 minutes.

F．The superfast plane could only carry ten passengers.

G．The Antipode’s design includes a special nose.

29、   Happiness is a choice. For every minute you are angry，you lose 60 seconds of happiness. Be happy. Be yourself. If others don't like it，then let them be.【1】

Begin today by taking responsibility for your own satisfaction. Here are four ways to choose happiness:

1.【2】 Give it your all in everything you do，be devoted to your goals，and don't compare yourself to anyone else. Never try to be better than anyone else. If you feel called to compare yourself to someone，compare yourself to an earlier version of yourself.

2. Be around the right people.【3】 Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. When you free yourself from negative people，you free yourself to be YOU-and being YOU is the only way to truly live.

3. Help others when you're able. Care about people. In life，you get what you put in.【4】 Do something that's greater than you-something that helps someone else to be happy or to suffer less.

4. Let go when you know you should. Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. Love is worth fighting for，but you can't be the only one fighting. People need to fight for you too. If they don't，you eventually have to move on and realize that what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you.【5】 If you try to force them back together things will only get worse. Holding on is being brave，but letting go and moving on is often what makes us stronger and happier.

A. Choose to be the best YOU can be.

B. Life isn't about pleasing everybody.

C. Relationships should help you, not hurt you.

D. Focus on what you have, not on what you haven't.

E. Some relationships and situations just can't be fixed.

F.A positive influence on others means a positive one on your own.

G. No one else has the power to make you feel small unless you give them the power.
