Port Lympne Reserve,which runs a breeding（繁育）programme,has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf（犀牛幼崽）.When the tiny creature arrived on January 31.she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve.And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival,especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity（圈养）.
Paul Beer,head of rhino section at Port Lympne,said： "Obviously we're all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family.She's healthy,strong and already eager to play and explore.Her mother,Solio,is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job.It's still a little too cold for them to go out into the open,but as soon as the weather warms up.I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day."
The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve,but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild.The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32 kg.His mother,grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.

    During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still think about often. Annoyed by the level of distraction(干扰)in his open office, he said, "Thatˈs why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street —so I can focus." His comment struck me as strange. After all, coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout (布局). But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.

    The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking. They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence to 50 decibels(分贝), 70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however,the participants in the 70 decibels group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop-significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.

    But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also suggests that the right level of background noise—not too loud and not total silence—may actually improve oneˈs creative thinking ability. The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander, without making it impossible to focus. This kind of "distracted focus" appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.

    So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The problem may be that, in our offices, we canˈt stop ourselves from getting drawn into othersˈ conversations while weˈre trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process, and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.

Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?
A. It helps him concentrate. B. It blocks out background noise. C. It has a pleasant atmosphere. D. It encourages face-to-face interactions.
Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability?
A. Total silence. B. 50 decibels. C. 70 decibels. D. 85 decibels.
What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?
A. Personal privacy unprotected. B. Limited working space. C. Restrictions on group discussion. D. Constant interruptions.
What can we infer about the author from the text?
A. Heˈs a news reporter. B. Heˈs on office manager. C. Heˈs a professional designer. D. Heˈs a published writer.

Take a view is a desirable annual competition for photographers from all comers of the UK and beyond.

Mike Shepherd (2011) Skiddaw in Winter Cumbria, England

It was an extremely cold winterˈs evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black-and-white image(图像).

Timothy Smith (2014) Macclesfield Forest Cheshire, England

I was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images. Walking up a path through the forest towards Shutlingsloe, a local high point, I came across a small clearing and immediately noticed the dead yellow grasses set against the fresh snow. The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the foreground right through into the forest.

What do the works by Shepherd and Smith have in common?
A. They are winter images. B. They are in black and white. C. They show mountainous scenes. D. They focus on snow-covered forests.

You've heard that plastic is polluting the oceans-between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage,forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year,the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse," a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves,frozen mid-crash. Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution,but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and,because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018，Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明）a specific statistic：Every 60 seconds,a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work,titled "Truckload of Plastic," Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic,which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped（倾倒）from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.



What are Von Wong's artworks intended for？ ______

A. Beautifying the city he lives in.
B. Introducing eco-friendly products.
C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D. Reducing garbage on the beach.

Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3？ ______

D. To find a substitute for them.

What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers？ ______

A. Calming.
B. Disturbing.
C. Refreshing.
D. Challenging.

Which of the following can be the best title for the text？ ______

B. Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C. Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D. Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

A trial project by the Montreal Children's Hospital suggested that the use of medical hypnosis （催眠） can reduce pain and anxiety in patients. The project also resulted in a reduction in the amount of medicines used to perform medical-imaging （医学影像）procedures.
"During the examination children don't move. It works perfectly. It's amazing," said Johanne L'Ecuyer, a medical-imaging technologist at the hospital.
The project was inspired by a French team from Rouen University Hospital Centre where examinations are done under hypnosis instead of general anesthesia （麻醉）.
A French medical-imaging technologist- also a hypnotist- was invited to train a few members in the medical-imaging department of the children's hospital. In all, 80 examinations were conducted for the project between January and September, 2019，focusing on the imaging procedures that would cause anxiety.
Hypnosis is not a state of sleep： It is rather a modified （改变的） state of consciousness.The technologist will guide the patient to this modified state- an imaginary world that will disassociate itself more and more from the procedure that follows.
"The technologist must build up a story with the patient," Ms. L'Ecuyer said. "The patient is left with the power to choose what he wants to talk about. Do you play sports？ Do you like going to the beach？ We establish a subject that we will discuss throughout the procedure."
Everything that happens next during the procedure must be related to this story- an injection（注射）becomes the bite of an insect； the heat on the skin becomes the sensation of the sun and a machine that rings becomes a police car passing nearby.
"The important thing is that the technologist associates what is happening outside the patient's body with what the patient sees in his head," Ms. L'Ecuyer said. "It requires creativity on the part of the technologist, imagination, a lot of patience and kindness."
The procedure appealed to the staff a lot when it was introduced in January."It spread like wildfire that someone from France was here to train the technologists," Ms. L'Ecuyer said. She added that she had a line of staff at her door wanting to take the training.

C. new medical-imaging technology
D. an improved reputation of the hospital
