Note Taking
Note taking as an accommodation is available only to students who have documented disabilities and are registered with Queen’s University Accessibility Service (QSAS). Note taking is approved for students with disability-related functional limitations that makes it difficult for them to access academic information presented in class.
There is a wide range of reasons why students may require note taking as an accommodation， including students with：
? hearing loss, who may have difficulties hearing the instructor while writing notes at the same time ? vision loss, who may have difficulties seeing information presented on overhead screens ? mental health conditions or attention-related disabilities, who may have difficulties attending to orally-presented information while taking notes
? learning disabilities, who may have difficulties recording notes when information is presented orally ? physical disabilities，who may have motor or pain related difficulties
Accessibility advisers consider a student’s description of their need for note taking along with information contained in their disability documentation and the type of course in approving note taking as a formal accommodation.
Online Note Taking Portal（门户网站）
QSAS is in charge of the exchange of notes taken by student volunteer note takers and students registered with QSAS via our secure online note taking portal.

A growing number of Chinese tourists are helping to save a dying town, after a little-known tourist attraction was featured on a number of Chinese travel blogs.
The residents of Sea Lake, a town of just 600 people, barely see travelers stop at their gas station while driving by, but the sudden influx of Chinese tourists is helping ke、ep the town’s economy alive.
The tourists come to see Lake Tyrrel---a shallow, salt crusted and often dry lake just out of town. According to a local teacher, Rachel Pearce, the extremely beautiful nightscape combined with the mysterious appearance of
stars reflected on the salt lake gives people the impression of walking among the stars. Besides, the town is so far away that no light pollution ruins the particularly attractive views, and as it is situated in a barren(寸草不生的), dry part of the country, there are rarely any clouds to spoil the night sky.
The attraction’s growing sought-after status has resulted in the town’s motel rooms being full almost every night, and while local farmers are suffering in a two-year drought, tourism is keeping the town’s agricultural-based economy stable.
Despite the popularity of the town and its attraction, locals are still confused as to why their little town deserves so much attention. Sea Lake’s population has fallen from around 1,200 a decade ago to 600 today. “We’re still unsure why Lake Tyrrel is such a big, big tourist attraction,” one local says. “It’s quite a shock.” 24. Which of the following best explains “influx” underlined in paragraph 2? A. Assistance. B. Adventure. C. Arrival. D. Advertisement. 25. Which of the following together make Lake Tyrrel pretty impressive? A. Population, stars, clouds, cleanness and weather. B. Nightscape, stars, salt, remoteness and clear sky. C. Population, darkness, salt, remoteness and clear sky. D. Nightscape, darkness, clouds, cleanness and weather. 26. Which column of a magazine is this text most likely from?
A. Business. B. Education. C. Lifestyle. D. Culture.

Just ask any new parent ：Adding a baby to a household can also add stress to a career. Now, a new study backs that up with some astonishing numbers：After science，technology， engineering,and mathematics (STEM) professionals become parents,43% of women and 23% of men switch fields, transition (转变)to part-time work, or leave the workforce entirely.
Many researchers and parents already knew that STEM can be unwelcoming to parents, particularly mothers. But “the considerable departure was astonishing,” says Erin Cech, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and lead author of the study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. For both genders, “the proportions were higher than we expected. ”
The surprisingly high reduction rate for men also highlights that “parenthood in STEM is not just a mothers’ issue；it’s a worker issue,” Cech says. She hopes that the findings “might motivate changes，” such as more paid parental leave from both government and employers and policies that better support flexible work time without a tight routine. “We are not suggesting that people who want families should avoid STEM； that’s not the solution,” she emphasizes.
By 2018 ,78% of new fathers were still working in STEM, the vast majority full time. For new mothers ,68% were still in STEM,but only 57% worked full time. For professionals without children, on the other hand ,84% of men and 76% of women were predicted to still be working in STEM full time in 2018. For the new parents across
all fields,16% of women were working part-time and 15% had left the workforce,as compared with just 2% and 3% ,respectively,for men. These sharp differences make clear that, even though the reduction rate for fathers is higher than expected, mothers still face particular career challenges. 27. What makes many STEM employees change their jobs?
A. Worrying about their family. B. The attraction of part-time jobs. C. Being tired of the former jobs. D. The heavy burden at home and work.
28. Which statement may Erin Cech agree with?
A. Working at home may be a popular choice. B. Increasing welfare may keep STEM parents. C. People with families should leave STEM. D. STEM professionals should obey the rules.
29. How many new mothers among the labor force worked full time in 2018?
A. 69%.
B.76%.
C.57%.
D.31%.
30. What does the author want to stress by listing the sharp differences?
A. Too many fathers leave STEM. B. It’s hard for mothers to make a balance. C. STEM jobs are no longer popular. D. It’s impossible to have a successful career.

The Notre Dame fire has been put out, but its spire and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. On Chinese social media network Wechat a common comment on the disaster is:“What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore. ”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them，namely via a video game called Assassin’s Creed ： Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality，and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further,with virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be
Saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers,building 3D models with multiple images,as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular，the digital replica (复制品) has great use value. First，it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them，which helps protect them. The virtual tour of
