Claire Wyatt,a 24-year-old British volunteer,led eight Cambodians living with disabilities on a 155-mile bike ride from Phnom Penh,the nation's capital,to Siem Reap to raise money and deliver supplies to those in need amid the coronavirus pandemic (新冠病毒大流行).
   "Leading this trip was an incredibly special experience for me," said Claire. "Not only was I inspired by the determination of each and every rider,but also the team taught me every day not to focus on their disability."
   When she was first asked to lead the excursion,Claire admitted,she was feeling nervous about her team traveling such a distance in just a few days,because cycling with a disability can come with added physical and emotional challenges.
   One team member named Dy,who lost an arm in a landmine (地雷) accident,biked using just one arm to balance.Another named Vulta could only pedal on one side due to paralysis from polio (脊髓灰質(zhì)炎).Despite all the difficulties,Claire realized quickly that she didn't have to worry about her team.She saw them deal with rough terrain (不平地形) that she had seen abled cyclists give up on before.
   The volunteers covered the distance in just four days,not only helping so many people across the country,but also overcoming huge barriers (障礙) to get there.
   "The best thing about this ride is that the riders have all volunteered their time to do this.They are so passionate about Cambodia and raising money for others in need," said Claire. "The money raised will feed 99 families in Siem Reap."
   Claire recalled her favorite moment of the experience,when one of the cyclists pushed a shattered teammate up a hill for 2 miles. "One moment that stood out for me was when Naret,our only female rider,was feeling tired," she said. "Her fellow rider gently put his hand on her back and pushed her for 2 miles!They were encouraging each other to push through the tiredness."

    Dear Alfred,
       I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
       Growing up,I had people telling me I was too slow,though,with an IQ of 150+ at 17,I'm anything but stupid.The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多動(dòng)障礙).Anxious all the time,I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
       However,when something did interest me,I could become absorbed.In high school,I became curious about the computer,and built my first website.Moreover,I completed the senior course of Computer Basics,plus five relevant pre-college courses.
       While I was exploring my curiosity,my disease got worse.I wanted to go to college after high school,but couldn't.So,I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
       Since then,I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics.Currently,I'm learning your Probability course.I have hundreds of printer paper,covered in self-written notes from your video.This has given me a purpose.
       Last year,I spent all my time looking for a job where,without dealing with the public,I could work alone,but still have a team to talk to.Luckily,I discovered the job-Data Analyst-this month and have been going full steam ahead.I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession,without going to college,and be just as good as,if not better than,my competitors.
       Thank you.You've given me hope that I can follow my heart.For the first time,I feel good about myself because I'm doing something,not because someone told me I was doing good.I feel whole.
       This is why you're saving my life.
    Yours,
    Tanis

  • 3.Besides Yun Xiaolin,the new team consists of three other women in their mid-20s — Yao Ziqing,Liu Dejie and Dong Ning.They have been given the name of "fire rose" to represent the fact they are the first such small group made up entirely of women in the past 20 years.
       In recent years,the traditionally male-dominated funeral industry(殯葬業(yè)) has seen a growing number of young women taking up the profession.Their inborn female strengths such as caring natures have allowed them to be trusted by more customers dealing with tearful losses.Some customers only want female technical staff because they know how to operate the machine and also know when to hand over a tissue(紙巾).
       In addition to a heavy workload,running a crematorium(火葬場(chǎng)) is far more than turning on and off a cremator(焚尸爐),Yun noted.A crematorium worker needs to shoulder a mass of responsibilities such as machine repair and environmentally friendly disposal of remains.
       Unlike Yun,who said she chose the work due to her curiosity,Liu,another crematorium worker,ended up in the profession since her family work in the funeral industry.After graduating from university,she chose to work in a funeral parlor in North China's Tianjin Municipality.
       While women's working in the industry is still considered by many as a social taboo(禁忌),the four all noted that this uncommon profession taught them how the unavoid ability of death can actually be a positive force that encourages people to value life.They have also noticed that there are fewer stereotypes about the funeral industry today,especially when it comes to the women workers.
       Liu noted she has not encountered much prejudice(偏見) during her work.Instead,many people are surprised and express respect when hearing that Liu can handle tough work skillfully in her job,a profession that many people in China are afraid to come into contact with.
       Along with their efforts is a changing social environment led by new directions and social institutions in the industry,which have encouraged more people to no longer be afraid of this profession.

    (1)Why are female technical workers preferred by some customers?

    A.Because they know how to dispose of remains.
    B.Because they have better performance than males.
    C.Because they want to work in this field as equally as men.
    D.Because they can show warmth while being professional.
    (2)Why has Liu taken up the funeral profession?

    A.She considers it as a way of earning respect.
    B.She aims to change people's views on taboos.
    C.She wants to encourage people to love life.
    D.She follows in the footsteps of her family members.
    (3)What opinion do the four women share in terms of their profession?

    A.They are doing something meaningful.
    B.They work in fields they are fit for.
    C.They have more difficulty in facing death.
    D.They are at a disadvantage in the funeral industry.
    (4)What can be inferred from the fifth and sixth paragraphs?

    A.Women are mainly employed in the funeral industry.
    B.Women funeral workers have gained more acceptance.
    C.Male-dominated professions serve the public better.
    D.Women technical workers have more targeted client groups.
