When I was five years old, I played the role of the tortoise in a play. I had one line at the end when I beat the sleeping rabbit: The slow and steady one wins the race. I've always felt that those words guide my work. I am never the fastest, but I keep going. My goal is always the same: to learn more this year than what I learned last year.
The goal of education is not to have much knowledge as quickly as possible, but to have much knowledge and keep it in the brain. I don't care how "fast" students learn something as a teacher. There may be a lot of reasons someone picks up a subject or topic more quickly: more background, knowing the material early, more sleep that night, less stress, and so on. We deal with information differently. When I see slow students, that's what I think of: Are those the students who will keep learning over their entire lifetime, and leave the "quick" students far behind?
I was slow in my math classes in university. Looking back on those days, I've come to realize that one of the ways I learn is "mistake based". That means I learn by making mistakes. This may be slower than other ways of learning, but when I learn something, I really learn it.
I seldom worried about "slow learners" when teaching medical students. I knew these young men and women could learn. There is a lot of material to learn in medicine, but there is also lots of time. Like in so many other jobs, knowledge is only a part of being a doctor. I spent decades learning enough to be a doctor and decades more keeping up and improving. It never stops, and never should.
Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel and lash out at us.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 in China and some other countries is an example. Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization, said, “This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale (规模), human population density (密度), wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病).”
In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe (敬畏). For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always tried to keep the harmony between nature and human beings.
However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings and capture wild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance.
Although we don't know for sure what first caused the COVID-19 outbreak, it's time for people to reflect on our relationship with our planet and reconnect with this world and everything that we've been given. After all, nature is not the place to visit. It's our home.
Experts say that food is one of the biggest greenhouse gas polluters. The reason is the rising demand for meat. Animal farming is responsible for 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas methane emissions. While cows are the worse contributors, pigs, sheep, donkeys and other animals play a part as well.
Animal farming also causes land to become damaged, water to be polluted and forests to get destroyed. That is why experts are advocating substituting some of the beef, chicken, or pork with ordinary insects!
Insects, which grow into adults within a matter of months, if not weeks, are ready for consumption much faster than domestic animals. They also require much less room, use less water and food, and produce far less greenhouse gas than animals.
Of the 1.1 million insect species worldwide, scientists have identified 1.700 as eatable. Among them are ants, grasshoppers, grubs, and earthworms. Just like animals, each insect has a different taste. Tree worms taste just like pork, and grubs are similar to smoked meat.
While eating insects might be a new concept for Western people, over 2 billion people worldwide consume insets as a regular part of their diet. Besides being delicious, insets are high in protein, have very few calories, and are free of the saturated fat. So eat insects, both your body and Mother Earth will thank you for it!
二、任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(共1小题)
Self-esteem (自尊) plays a role in almost everything you do. If you want to improve your self-esteem, here are some useful tips.
★Try to stop having negative thoughts about yourself. If you're used to focusing on your shortcomings, start thinking about positive aspects of yourself.
★View mistakes as learning opportunities. Accept that you will make mistakes because everyone does. Remind yourself that a person's talents are constantly developing, and everyone does well in different things.
★ If you realize that you're unhappy with something that you can change, then start today. If it's something you can't change (like your height), then start to work toward loving yourself the way you are.
★Make a contribution. Help a classmate who's having trouble, offer to clean up your neighborhood or volunteer your time in some other way.
★Have fun. Enjoy spending time with the people you care about and doing the things you love. Relax and have a good time.
It takes some work to develop good self-esteem, but once you do it's a skill you'll have for life.
A. Mistakes are part of learning.
B. Recognize what you can change and what you can't.
C. Each day, write down the things that make you happy.
D. Low self-esteem is a negative evaluation (评价) of oneself.
E. That your help is valued can do wonders to improve self-esteem.
F. Experience is the great thing that enables you to recognize a mistake.
G. People with high self-esteem do better in school and find it easier to make friends.

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping.

About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 5, like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It's 6 me why visitors started respecting the place less and treated such a 7 home-like place this way.
I tried 8 trash (垃圾) myself, but the job was too big. I would 9 an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so 10 it that I decided something had to 11.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew 12 about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a 13. On that day, more than 300 people 14. Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was 15 how much we were able to accomplish. I couldn't believe the 16 we made — the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and 17 132 miles of roadway.
I often hear people 18 about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by 19 rather than complaining. We need to teach by 20. You can't blame others unless you start with yourself.

I used to pay little attention to the important of breakfast. I often studied late into the night and choose to skip breakfast. By this way I could have a few extra minutes in bed.
