I had my first luck when my uncle was visiting from Britain. We were talking
about my plans for further study. I was interested in biology research, but there
weren't many opportunities in Slovenia Surprisingly, my uncle encouraged me to try
international studies, and even offered me my cousin's room. It was the lucky break
I needed. Later. I applied for a university near my uncle's. When I was accepted.
I felt excited. I was also stressed about studying abroad and the cost. To save up.
I got a part-time job, through which I could only cover one-third of the expense.
Luckily, a prize from school contributed the rest.
Once I reached Britain, between culture shock and my university program. I worked
part-time. By working and reducing unnecessary costs. I could support myself, share
the household expenses with my uncle's family, and save for my education.
I made little progress in the lab after five months. One evening. I mistakenly
removed all the useful experiment data. I broke into tears, and spent the whole night
playing video games-a much-needed break after months of non-stop work. But I didn't
give up. Two weeks later, my project began to produce results.
After being rejected several times in full-time job hunting. I had a chance to
meet with Professor Brown I hardly remembered from two lectures he had given. I was
analyzing my data when he mentioned he was looking for an assistant and encouraged
me to apply. I didn't think I stood a chance, but I figured I had nothing to lose.
To my surprise, the professor who valued my efforts and ability offered me the job.
I went on to complete my study, and I was excited about the research opportunities
that were available to me.

Roadkill, the killing of an animal by a car hitting it on the road, is a serious
problem in the United States. In the U.S. alone, there are more than a million car
accidents per year involving wildlife. For many species, it is the leading cause
of death. In addition, major roads can separate animal populations and destroy their
habitats. Animals lose access (通道) to large areas of their habitats, which makes
it much harder for many animals to find food and a mate.
As people have become more aware of the danger to humans and animals, animal
crossings are becoming more common. The crossings can come in many forms. The type
depends on the species that need to cross and the geographic features of the land.
The most common forms are bridges, overpasses and tunnels. Planners are increasingly
including them when they design highways and road improvements. The crossings
greatly reduce the number of crashes, provide a safe corridor for animals and
reconnect animal habitats.
Wildlife bridges are usually covered in native plants. In the United Kingdom,
people often call them “green bridges.” The idea is to make the crossing look like
a natural part of the landscape, so animals will cross there.
The idea was first developed in France in the 1950s. It took off in the
Netherlands, where more than 600 crossings have been built. The Dutch built the
world's longest animal crossing. the Natuurbrug Zanderij Crailoo, which is more than
a half mile.

The Fourth of July is an important day for the Quad Cities River Bandits, a Minor
League Baseball team. Thousands of fans crowd into Modern Woodmen Park in Davenport,
lowa, to cheer on the home team and watch fireworks. But it was a bit different in
2014, says Chesser, the Bandits' manager, when the baseball stadium was rurned into
an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Fans had to cross the floodwaters
on a movable bridge to reach the stadium.
Davenport is the only major city on the upper Mississippi River without flood
walls to hold back the river. Instead of building a barrier(障碍)between the river
and nearby homes and businesses. Davenport designed its downtown to be floodable
lining the city's nine miles of riverfront (滨河地区) with parks, bike tracks,
parking lots, and a very wet baseball stadium.
Local leadership says thin method has come with some economic benefits. Building
a wall would be expensive, potentially costing more than present flood cleanups.
“When the river comes up, and that happens every year now, we let it take its own
course. There is nothing really in there that could be damaged,” says former
Davenport mayor Bill Gluba.
Davenport’s method does come at a cost. “When we have a flood, we put off other
important services.” says Public Works Director Nicole Gleason,” We press a stop
button on everything that's scheduled.”
Despite complaints (抱怨) about slow road repair, the Davenport community
realizes what it has gained with the public green space. Locals enjoy frequent
citywide events, from festivals and concerts on the riverfront to an annual Father's
Day bike ride.
For residents like Bandits' manager Chesser, the many beautiful days at the
riverfront more than make up for the day when flooding spreads into the city. “I
can't complain if five days a year Mother Nature decides to throw us a curveball.”
he says.
12. Why does the writer mention “The baseball stadium” In Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To analyze the problem.
D. To explain an idea.
13. What's special about Davenport's flood-prevention method?
A. It designed in floodable riverfront.
B. It blocked away the flood effectively.
C. It used valuable land to build flood walls.
D. It spent much more than the traditional way.
14. Which statement will the locals probably agree with?
A. The city's flood method is short-sighted
B. The benefits can make up for flood influence.
C. The locals' life is hardly affected by the flood
D. The speed of road repair is extremely fast after flood.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Walling Up the City to Flood
B. Davenport's Peace with the Flood
C. A Model for Cities' Flood Management
D. A Common Method for
Mississippi's Flood
