Teenagers may not know the name Kevin Mayer, but he's about to play an outsize role in their
lives.
The longtime leader of The Walt Disney just became CEO of TikTok(抖音）. In doing so, Mayer
will take charge of an app whose influence over a lot of people has made it one of the most
influential,although controversial(有争议的）,platforms of the era.
Mayer has been with Disney since the early 1990s--minus a period as CEO of Playboy. com-and he's
helped to acquire some important brands in the film industry. More recently he's become known for his
key role in the launch of the all-important Disney Plus streaming service. Mayer was thought to be
among the most obvious potential successors to outgoing CEO Bob Iger, but he was passed over for Bob
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Chapek, who ran Disney's theme park unit.
Mayer's departure from Disney may not be a surprise, but his move to TikTok is unexpected. The
app, owned by China-based ByteDance,is at a crucial moment in its short history-seeing enormous growth
but facing increasing criticism over its data collection practices. As it rises in influence, the company will
surely face a growing drumbeat of intense media and strict monitoring.
In contrast, Disney has never been more delicate, with the COVID-19 pandemic having broken nearly
all of its core business units, from the closedown of theme parks and movie theaters to ongoing
interruptions to its production schedules . Mayer , whatever else is motivating the move, is hopping(跳）
to another position at a proper time.
8.What's the text mainly about?
A.The job-hopping of a CEO.
B.The rising influence of TikTok.
C. The decline of The Walt Disney Company.
D. The intense competition between companies.

A. He has been offered a higher salary.
B. He wasn't qualified for his previous job.
C. He preferred a new career concerning teenagers.
D. He failed to succeed Bob Iger as CEO of Disney.
10. What do we know about Tik Tok according to the text?
A. Potential but delicate.
B.Profitable but immoral.
C.Popular but controversial.
D.Professional but addictive.
11.What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advertise for Disney.
B. To report a piece of news.

unusually bright comet(替星）shot across the sky, exciting many predictions of a snowstorm. Outside the city wall,
a woman was pronounced dead because of a disease that was spreading in that area. Her house was locked up.
By the following Christmas, the virus that had killed the woman would go on to kill nearly 100,000 people
living in and around London-almost a third of those who did not flee.
In The Great Plague(瘟疫）:The Story of London's Most Deadly Year,historian A. Lloyd Moote and
microbiologist Dorothy C. Moote provide a deeply informed account of this plague year. Reading the book, readers
are taken from the palaces of the city's wealthiest citizens to the poor areas where the vast majority of Londoners
were living, and to the surrounding countryside with those who fled. The Mootes point out that, even at the height
of the plague, the city did not fall into chaos. Doctors, nurses and the church staff remained in the city to care for
the sick; city officials tried their best to fight the crisis with all the legal tools; commerce continued even as
businesses shut down.
To describe life and death in and around London, the authors focus on the experiences of nine individuals.
Through their letters and diaries, the Mootes offer fresh descriptions of key issues in the history of the Great
Plague:How different communities understood and experienced the disease;how medical, religious, and
governmental bodies reacted; how well the social order was kept; the economic and moral dilemmas people faced
when they were debating whether to flee the city; and the nature of the material, social, and spiritual resources
supporting those who remained. Based on humanity(人性）,the authors offer a masterful portrait of a city and its
inhabitants attacked by-and daringly resisting-unimaginable horror.
12.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A . A comet always follows a storm .
B. London was under an approaching threat.
C . London was prepared for the disease .
D. The woman was the beginning of the disease.
13. What do the Mootes say about London during the Great Plague?
A. The city remained organized.
B. The rich areas were spared from the plague.
C. The people tried a lot in vain.
D. The majority fled and thus survived.
14. Why do the Mootes focus on the nine individuals?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A . They were famous people in history .
B. They all managed to survive the plague.
C. They provided vivid stories of humanity.
D. They united by thinking and acting as one.
15. What's the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a new book.
B. To correct a misunderstanding.
C. To report a new study.
D. To show respect to the authors.

leaned against the kitchen counter with his arms folded across his chest, not screaming, but glaring at me
as I pulled his little brother off my legs.
" Are you mad at me too ? "
"You spend all your time taking care of other people's kids, but what about us ? " Dylan left
angrily .
I was shocked and a little hurt. How could my own child not understand that the work I was doing
was saving lives? Then the answer hit me . He didn't know , because he had never seen what Healing
the Children actually did. Dylan had heard the stories of sick children, but had never once looked into
the eyes of a child and understood the hard truth-that without our help,the children would likely die.
" Get dressed . You are going with me , " I said .
I spent the drive explaining the case of Hector to my son, who pretended to ignore me the entire
time. "He's seven, only weigh thirty pounds and is very sick. He has a heart condition called Tetralogy
of Fallot, which could kill him. It is a miracle(奇迹）that he is still alive . "
I went on to explain that it took a team of volunteer medical staff to get Hector to the hospital
from his remote village and care for him while he was there. Still, Dylan seemed unimpressed.
We stopped at a convenience store for water and snacks. Dylan had one large and one small
Slurpee(思乐冰饮料）.He said the small one was for Hector. I doubted whether the little guy would able
to drink it , but remained silent . This was the first interest Dylan had shown in being there . I wasn't
about to ruin it .
I stopped at the nurses' station to check on Hector's progress while Dylan went to his room. Our
patient was recovering physically but the nurse was concerned that Hector was struggling emotional She
said , " Kids usually bounce back fast , but he hardly speaks an never smiles."
