But then the second snowstorm arrived that night, piling additional inches of snow on top of the snow banks that were already there. And then on the evening news, the weather cast gave us a notice that still another snowstorm was headed our way. Then I felt despondent. I had things to do and places to go. After days of being snowbound, I felt like I was under house arrest. I was stuck.
A place stuck isn't a fun place to be, whether it's from a snowstorm or from life circumstances such as a bad
relationship, bills that seem to tower over our heads, or situations where we see no way out. All of us will feel stuck at one time or another, but it's how we respond that makes the difference.
I had a friend named Hannah. She was stuck in the heartbreaking world of infertility（不孕）. She longed for a child more than anything. Instead of accepting defeat, she acted sincerely. Think about Nelson Mandela in a dark prison. It was a seemingly hopeless place, but instead of becoming depressed or bitter, he kept fighting for freedom. Yes, he kept fighting to get the success.

In a new study published on the Journal of Avian Biology, researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico tracked the behavior of house finches（雀）on the main campus of the university, in Mexico City. The team created an artificial nest lining（内衬）, which includes feathers, cotton, hair and cigarette ends. Then, after the birds' eggs had hatched, they replaced the original lining with the new one, to make sure the nests were pest free. The researchers then added live ticks（壁虱）to the mix, while dead ticks were added to other linings. It seems that urban house finches use more cigarette ends to line their nests when they've been invaded by ticks. And, those whose nests were given live ticks increased their cigarette end weight by about 40 percent more than those where dead ticks had been used, according to New Scientist. The technique is likely a form of self-medication, the experts explain, as it's thought that the chemicals in cigarette ends can help to keep off the pests.
While this behavior may have its benefits, the researchers say it's also possible that the use of cigarette ends in the nests could have negative effects. \finch nests in Mexico City,\costs of using this material.\
According to the researchers, a thorough evaluation will be necessary to determine the real effects of using cigarette ends, whether they are positive or not. But they explain, the findings do suggest that the cigarette ends are linked to the presence of ticks and likely play a role in keeping them away.

（3）What did house finches do when live ticks were found in their nests? A.Eat them out.
B.Dust them off. B.The artificial lining. D.The original lining. B.Don't be trapped by snow D.Keep calm in the winter
C.Build firmer nests.
D.Use more cigarette ends.

Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming dangers, scientists claim. The ultra-fast mobile Internet would allow for rapid information transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice, pot holes or other dangers up ahead.
Several car manufacturers are already integrating 5G into their vehicles, including as a tool to welcome the coming of self-driving vehicles. Experts believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today. They predict the number of road traffic accidents—which according to the World Health Organization（WHO）account for more than 1.3 million deaths and up to 50 million people injured worldwide every year—will drop thoroughly as a result. Dr Dimitrios Liarokapis, a member of the research group, said, \alerts（给……报警）drivers is possible within the next few years. Cars that are close enough to the danger area will send warning messages to other cars around them using short-range communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and reliably. Then those cars will transmit the same information to cars near them and soon, forming a joined-up, multi-vehicle communication chain that stretches far and wide.\
Automotive giant Ford is already working on connected cars. Earlier this year it revealed its intention to fit 80 percent of its 2020 vehicles with technology that warns drivers about up-coming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams. The system pools data from other connected road users, emergency services and the authorities and sends it from the cloud directly to the car. Alerts are shown on the car's dashboard display warning the driver about what lies around the corner.
（1）How can 5G help reduce road accidents? A.By offering the fast mobile Internet. B.By helping drivers overcome dangers. C.By offering practical safety programs. D.By helping WHO calculate traffic accidents.
（2）What is the function of the communication chain? A.To track other drivers. B.To send warning messages. C.To collect drivers' information.
D.To send the traffic situation to the police.
B.Conservative.
C.Objective.
D.Tolerant.
