22、Have you ever thought about what happens to people’s assets (资产) when they die? That’s where wills come in.
Traditionally, wills were only made by the elderly. Many young people think they don’t need wills if they don’t have kids or houses yet. But in recent years, this perception has started to change.
A while paper released by the China Will Registration Center in March revealed that more people in their 20s and 30s are now getting wills in China, reported China Daily.
The Daily Mail also reported that more young people are writing wills thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the UK, only 18 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds had wills in 2019, compared to 27 percent in 2021.
In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Emily James, 22, said the main reason she wrote a will was the pandemic. “In the current climate, you can’t really get away from death — it’s something my generation has never been faced with so distinctly before. The death count is broadcast every day, and most people know someone who has been affected by the virus, which starts to make you think and want to plan for your future.”
Apart from the pandemic, public knowledge of notable people’s health conditions, like the British royal family, has led to more people writing wills. The highest number of wills written on a single day in 2021 was on Feb 18, following the late Prince Philip’s admission to hospital, according to data from Farewill, one of the UK’s biggest death planning companies.
Farewill’s data also show that the legacies people leave in their wills are reflections of current society.
Music and pop culture collections were among the top things included in wills. The most common pop culture collections mentioned were Disney, Star Wars and Harry Potter memorabilia (纪念品).
The pandemic increased people’s likelihood of including a gift to a charity in their will. Furry friends are also not forgotten. Farewill’s data show nearly one-fifth of the people were making wills to ensure their pets were well looked after, with a total of 37 percent of will writers including plans for their pets.
【1】What did the Daily Mail report?
A.More people in the West are writing wills.
B.The number of young will writers is increasing.
C.The UK saw the most young will writers in 2021.
D.People aged 18-34 made the most wills in the UK in 2021.
【2】Why did Emily James write a will?
A.She was infected with COVID-19.
B.She felt hopeless during the pandemic.
C.She realized the future is unpredictable.
D.She was affected by the death of Prince Philip.
【3】What do the last three paragraphs mainly talk about?
A.How the pandemic influenced young people.
B.How current society influences young people’s wills.
C.The impact pop culture has had on young people.
D.Why young people consider writing a will to be important.
【4】Which can serve as a good title of the article?
A.Will after Death.
B.The Bucket List.
C.The Pandemic Effects.
D.Youth Leave Their Legacy.
23、 There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life.
Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one's field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.
Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion of others can hold back your true spirit.
Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective (视角) into specific fields of expertise (专长). The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.
Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. “I don't know where it will lead, but I'm excited I'm on this pursuit.”
These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.
【1】To become a specialist, one may have to_______.
A.avoid responsibilities at work
B.narrow his range of knowledge
C.know more about the society
D.broaden his perspective on life
【2】According to the author, a superior doctor is one who ________.
A.is fully aware of his talent and ability
B.is a pure specialist in medicine
C.brings knowledge of other fields to work
D.should love poetry and philosophy
【3】What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni?
A.Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected.
B.Passion alone does not ensure a person's success.
C.In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible.
D.Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit.
【4】What could be the best title for the passage?
A.Specialist or Generalist: Hard to Decide
B.Turn a Generalist into a Specialist
C.Ways to Become a Generalist
D.Be More a Generalist Than a Specialist
