Are you driven to create change in bettering kids’ futures? Here are a few options. Education
Going after a career in education is sometimes overlooked. Yet teaching is an important path to creating change. You will educate the young, minds responsible for the future. In addition to presenting basic school subjects, you can teach them to be leaders. You can motivate them to want to make a difference themselves.
A career in education doesn’t have to mean teaching in a classroom. You can help them to learn in a way that works for them and be a friend to them as well. Social work
As a social worker, you can directly change the lives of children in need as well as advocate for services for drug abusers, family-violence survivors, mental-health patients, and more. You will provide them with the necessary resources to succeed and advise them through trauma（精神创伤）, unemployment, education difficulties, addiction and poverty.
Many social workers are associated with governmental agencies, but there are also jobs in schools, nonprofit organizations and hospitals. Child psychology
Studying child psychology may lead to a career option. Psychologists can provide support for children with mental-health problems and give them a place to be open about their feelings.
You may wish to become a school psychologist and guide children (and their parents) through

Despite growing up in Croydon and Liverpool，neither Grace nor Paul felt at home in the city. After meeting at Staffordshire's Keele University, they fell in love with Skye on a geology field trip in 1979.
“The island is only 50 miles north to south, but the variety of terrain(地形) and wildlife is impressive,” says Paul.
Grace adds，“We both loved Gavin Maxwell's Ring of Bright Water and were really passionate about otters(水獭)．It was our dream to get away from the rat race，get married and run wildlife holidays and courses on Skye.”
Five years and 29 loan applications later，they moved to Skye. They were relieved to say goodbye to crowds and traffic and found that the island (population: about 20,000) attracts like-minded people. “A lot of musicians and craftspeople move here，looking for peace,” says Grace.
After locals started bringing them injured animals，they built a wildlife hospital and have since cared for 170 otters. Paul has gained a PhD in otter ecology and they've set up the International Otter Survival Fund (otter.org)，which supports conservation projects worldwide.
Their three kids had carefree childhoods in a tight-knot community. “We could give them lots of freedom because people watch out for each other's children here,” Grace explains.
She continues, “We go to Inverness (a town in northern Scotland) about once a year for a concert，but otherwise everything we want is here. You have to be mentally and practically self-sufficient. We built a metal shed (小屋)，but that took off in the 90 mph winds. Anything not built solidly will leave.
It's often very dark and wet from November to March，which can be quite depressing. If there's wind and rain at the same time，no amount of waterproof clothing will keep you dry. But we make up for it in the summer. With the long days，there's nowhere better.”
Paul concludes, “There's something so special about living here and having a sense of belonging.”
24. What can we learn about Paul and Grace?
A. They grew up in the countryside.
B. They have difficulty getting along with others. C. They hold different opinions as to where to live.

You can’t walk into the office without Rihanna’s voice singing “work work work work work work” in your head. And that one line from Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” still makes you want to scream. These are commonly known as earworm songs—those sticky tunes that continue to play in your head. A recent study finds that more than 90% of adults report hearing earworm songs on a weekly basis.
Fortunately, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them annoying or even maddening. “Some people are troubled by them to the point that it disturbs life,” says Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, a professor at the University of Arkansas who has studied earworm songs.
Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one thing, they tend to be small parts of a song—not the whole track. And “the songs you’ve heard recently also have the most possibility to get stuck in your memory,” she says.
But sometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track playing in your head. “Once I was at the doctor’s office and saw a poster of a man who I thought looked like Gaston—a character from Beauty and the Beast,” Margulis recalls. A couple minutes passed, and she realized she couldn’t get “Be Our Guest”, the song in the movie, out of her head, even though she hadn’t thought of the tune in years. In that instance, she was able to identify her earworm’s trigger: the Gaston-looking man in the poster. “But the connections can be really unclear,” she says.
Margulis points out that, in all of human history, recorded music is a very new phenomenon. She says some have inferred that earworm songs are also new—the unintended consequence of being able to hear the same song played everywhere in the same way over and over again. So far, the convincing explanation for why human beings experience earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some well-established ways to cast off the earworm songs.
“Finding a mentally demanding task and putting your mind on it usually shifts attention away from internal music. People tend to get earworms when performing tasks that don’t require their full attention—stuff like doing the dishes,” Margulis says.
Chewing gum can also help. When a song is stuck in our heads, it’s almost like we’re singing along with it. If you make your mouth do something else—chewing gum, eating a meal or talking with a friend—that can kick out the earworm.
You could also face your enemy. By listening to the full track that includes the passage stuck in your head, you may find “closure” and relief.
27. Which of the following is most likely to be an earworm song? A. A song made up of simple words. B. A song heard frequently these days. C. A song sung by a most famous singer. D. A song learned during one’s childhood.
28. What does the underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Type. B. Tune. C. Cause. D. Characteristic.

29. We can infer that earworm songs may . A. result from modern technology B. be experienced over meals C. help regain lost memories D. do damage to one’s hearing 30. What is mainly talked about in the last three paragraphs? A. Why we hear earworm songs. B. Where to find earworm songs. C. When we hear earworm songs. D. How to get over earworm songs. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why I Got Rid of My Cell Phone
In 2017 I decided to take a break from my cell phone. Instead of shutting it off completely, I decided to turn it off for a month to see how it goes. By the end of the month I found that I could live without a cell phone. It has been seven months since I have lived without a cell phone. I would like to share with you the reasons why I decided to get rid of my cell phone.
31 Checking my phone was the first thing I did when I woke up and the last thing I did before going to sleep. Throughout the day I would check my phone countless of times. It became a bad habit of mine in which the only way to break it was to be far away from it.
When I owned a phone, I was constantly connected to it. I wasn’t taking enough time to see what was right in front of me. There was no end of the day when it came to work and there was not nearly enough time to relax. Instead, I was constantly going. 32 33 When I was having a conversation with someone, I would think about what else I
could be doing or texting other people instead of being fully present in the conversation. Now that I don’t have a cell phone, I am more present in my conversations and to my surroundings.
I was completely dependent on my cell phone. 34 A cell phone was my quick and easy problem solver. Whatever problem I met during the day, I used my cell phone for the answer. Without my cell phone I have become more self-dependent and a self-problem solver.
I also found that my sleep wasn’t as good as it had been in the past. Screens stimulate your mind and can affect your natural sleep patterns. 35 However, I did not have the self-control to do this. I would go to bed with a stimulated mind causing me to have a poor night sleep. A．It made me less social.
B．I found that I was addicted to my phone.
C．Having a cell phone split my attention in half. D．I know that is not good for my health.
E．The answer to this is to turn off your phone a few hours before bed.
F．These phone-free travels were some of the most liberating moments of my life.
G．It was my watch, my alarm clock, my email, my maps, my wallet, and my way to talk with friends.
