A
Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard the Titanic when it struck an iceberg and
sank on April 15,1912,a mere 700 people lived on.Here is one story of the Titanic survivors
whose stories are still haunting more than a century after the ship’s sinking,revealing the true
facts of the disaster.
A junior wireless officer aboard the Titanic ,Harold Bride was one of the two people
responsible for sending SOS messages to nearby ships,thus allowing the Carpathian to rescue the
Titanic survivors.
He and another man on duty,Jack Phillips,raced to send SOS signals to nearby ships—but
as the communications specialists,they knew that the closest,the Carpathian,would likely not
arrive until after the Titanic sank.They worked wildly until Captain Edward Smith came and told
them they were relieved of duty;the ship had nearly lost power,and only two lifeboats remained.
They made a run for Collapsible B and were just getting it into the water when a wave swept
across the deck(甲板),throwing both Harold Bride and the upturned boat into the ocean.
Bride and 15 others struggled onto the waterlogged,sinking Collapsible B and survived until
other lifeboats collected them and conveyed them to the Carpathian.
Once aboard the Carpathian,Bride got back to work and began helping the ship’s wireless
officer send messages from the other Titanic survivors.
When the Carpathian made land,Bride had to be carried ashore:he had injured one foot in
the plunge into the ocean,and the other was frostbitten after a night in the Atlantic’s icy waters.

One of the greatest challenges in caring for such intelligent animals as chimpanzees (黑猩猩)
is providing them with enriching experiences.Every day,the chimpanzees at Project Chimps
receive morning and evening food-based enrichment devices,but caregivers are always looking
for more ways to keep the chimps mentally engaged.With 79 chimpanzees ,each with their
distinctive personality , care staff often find that different chimps react differently to new
enrichment.
Last year,we began inviting musicians to perform for chimps to see what they may
respond.A violin performance received quite the response.Additional musicians were lined up to
visit but the coronavirus has stopped the activities,which we hope to resume in the near future.
This past week,we brought an electric piano for the chimps to investigate.Some chimps,
like twins Buttercup and Clarisse,were immediately interested and could not wait to tap out a few
notes.Others,like Emma,were more interested in trying to take it apart.29-year-old Precious has very little tolerance for the piano.She sat off to the side for a few
minutes,but eventually she decided that was enough.She called an end to the enrichment session
by throwing a handful of waste at the piano.Receiving her message loud and clear,we removed
the piano.
We could never have guessed how 33-year-old Luke would react to it.As with many retired lab
chimpanzees,Luke has some anxiety issues.He seems particularly distrustful of anything new,
including people,food,and enrichment.But when we presented the chimps with the piano,Luke
was the first to investigate.We could not believe our eyes—this usually anxious chimpanzee
bravely chose to explore something new!
To us at Project Chimps,this is what it is all about:giving chimpanzees the freedom to
choose.We are honored to be part of their journey.

We’ve had waves of panic around technology for decades,whether it is comic books or
video games.Now it happens to be social media.And the fact of the matter is that parents and
teachers,who are trying to raise their kids in the face of these panics,are being poorly served by
the government when it comes to getting meaningful advice.
It’s not that social media is good or bad for people.It’s that the science of social media and
mental health is broken.We need to do research,but we shouldn’t be approaching it from the
perspective that the world is ending.We need to be curious and open to the possibility of its
effects,positive and negative.
The danger for policymakers or parents is that if you pretend that social media is a problem,
without having evidence,and you take steps to regulate it,the intervention(妨碍) could end up
being really bad for young people.You might be taking away a lifeline for vulnerable(脆弱的) kids
or free them of their human right to play,which is morally reprehensible(受谴责的) at the best of
times,let alone during a pandemic.
So that’s why I’m not going to tell you that I know social media is bad.It’s perfectly
reasonable for parents and teachers to be concerned about social media,but it’s unavoidable and
young people are going to encounter it sooner or later.So what would you rather do:keep them in
the dark and leave them ill-equipped to deal with it or let them learn about social media with your
help and support? It’s a little like learning to ride a bike.Bikes can be huge fun to ride,but you
can also hurt yourself on them,which is why you don’t just give your kid a bike and a helmet
and wish them good luck.You help them learn to ride.Similarly,you’re not asking your 14-year-
old daughter to choose between telling you someone scary is messaging her or losing her
phone.You need to treat it like anything else that can hurt you,but can also connect you.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了社交媒体带来的科技恐慌。社交媒
体无所谓好坏,决策者和家长应该给予孩子们正确的指导。
9.What does this wave of panic refer to now according to the passage?A.Technology. B.Comic books.

项。
10.What should we do to help our children?
A.Give them some instructions.
B.Ask the experts for help.
C.Go to the special treatment center.
D.Free them of their human right to play.

social media with your help and support?It’s a little like learning to ride a bike.”可知,面对社
交媒体,我们应该给予孩子们指导,就像学习骑自行车一样。故选A项。
11.What is the author’s attitude towards the social media?
A.Doubtful. B.Supportive.
C.Neutral. D.Indifferent.

Since the age of three,Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer.But one night in
2010,Hill,then a 17-year-old high school senior,was in a car accident that put her in thehospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from the waist down. 1 For Hill,it was just a
beginning.“I wanted to prove to my community and to myself that I was still ‘normal’,”
she told Teen Vogue. 2
3 She met people online who had suffered various spinal cord (脊髓) injuries,and she
invited them to dance with her.Hoping to reach more people in a larger city,Hill moved to Los
Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities that she called “Rollettes”.“I
want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance,whether you
are walking or you are rolling,” she told CBS News.So far,Hill has achieved her childhood
dream.
4 Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users and in 2019,173 participants
from ten countries attended.
For many,it was the first time they’d felt they belonged.Edna Serrano,a member of the
Rollettes,said,“Being part of the Rollettes team has given me courage and confidence.It’s so
powerful to have my teammates in my life,because they’re my teachers.” 5 One woman
saw a YouTube video of the team competing and commented,“You guys are so awesome! I’m
in tears because you rock!”
A.However,the Rollettes have helped her find more than that.
B.The dancers aren’t the only ones who feel inspired.
C.For most people,the hope of dancing career would have been ruined.
D.Chelsie Hill was so depressed because it completely ruined her dream.
E.Whatever normal means,it definitely took lots of learning and patience.
F.After graduation,Hill wanted to expand her dance to people alike.
