12、brought her to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to work as an interpreter. Only 22 years old at the time, she could hardly imagine the hardships sue would face there.

But she did her best to adapt to the new living environment.After a few months, she look on a new job offer in the Democratic Republic of the Congo before moving to Algeria. She staye

Her company needed someone to go to a faraway village deep in the forest. None of her colleagues wanted to go, but Feng, as a junior employee, seiz

20、50. The results indicate that if the world went vegan, the greenhouse gas emissions declines would be around 70%. In the US, for example, an average family of four emits more greenhouse gases because of the meal they eat than from driving two carsbut it is cars, not steaks, that regularly come up in
21、 discussions about global warming. Food, especially livestock, also takes up a lot of room. 68% of agricultural land in the world is used for livestock. When these lands become grasslands and forests, they would capture carbon dioxide and further ease climate change. However, if the whole world went
22、 vegan, there would be negative effects too. First, it is necessary to keep livestock for environmental purposes. Im sitting here in Scotland where the Highlands environment is very man-made and based largely on grazing by sheep, says Peter Alexander, a researcher in socio-ecological systems modelin
23、g at the University of Edinburgh. If we took all the sheep away, the environment would look different and there would be a potential negative impact on biodiversity. Plus, meat is an important part of history , tradition and cultural identity. Numerous groups around the world give livestock gifts at
24、 weddings, celebratory dinners such as Christmas with turkey or roast beef. And nowadays, moderation in meal-eatings frequency and portion size is key to solving these conflicts. Certain changes would encourage us to make healthier and more environmentally friendly dietary decisions, says Springmann
25、, like putting a higher price lag on meat and making fresh fruits and vegetables cheaper. In fact, clear solutions already exist for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock industry. What is lacking is the will to implement those changes.8. What can we infer from the underlined sentence

People compare the greenhouse gas emissions of the cars and steaks.D. Cars affect the global warming more seriously than the steaks.9. Wh

30、n women and leadership, most Americans find women indistinguishable from men on key leadership traits such as intelligence and capacity for innovation, with many saying theyre stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders.So why, then, are women in short supply at the top of g
31、overnment and business in the United States? According to the public, at least, its not that they lack toughness, management talent or proper skill sets. Its also not all about work-life balance. Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to
32、motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a key barrier for women seeking leadership roles. Only about one-in-five say womens family responsibilities are a major reason why there
33、 arent more females in top leadership positions in business and politics.Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male counterpar
34、ts to prove themselves. Similar shares say the electorate and corporate America are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions.As a result, the public is divided about whether the imbalance in corporate America will change in the foreseeable future, even though women have made majo
35、r advances in the workplace. While 53% believe men will continue to hold more top executive positions in business in the future, 44% say its only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men.
