Twelve-year-old Amanda Clement raced to the ballpark across the street from her house in

Hudson， South Dakota． She couldn't wait to join her brother． Hank， and the boys for a game

of baseball．

Would they let her play？ She could throw， run and bat as well as any of them， but they let her

play only when they needed her． She would have to umpire again． At least she could be part of

the game． Amanda knew all the rules， and the boys could count on her．

Over the next few years， local teams began asking her to judge their games， too． One summer

day in 2018， Amanda and her mother traveled to Hawarden． Iowa， to watch Hank play in the

championship semiprofessional game． Two local teams decided to play a game before the

semiprofessional teams． Amanda agreed to be the judge． As Amanda finished the morning

game， she saw two men walking toward her． To her surprise， they were the managers of the

semiprofessional teams and were impressed with her judge and wanted her to judge the afternoon

championship game． They would even pay her． The 16-year-old girl was about to become the

first female paid to be a judge of a baseball game． Amanda was calm and confident and judged

fairly． She was right on the spot， watching closely．

Newspaper reporters said that she was absolutely fair． Managers began to ask for her first when

they needed a judge． Amanda was popular with the fans， too． In one game， the audience

weren't happy with the judge and insisted on replacing him with Amanda．

Being a judge was hard work． Amanda judged for the whole game， and she worked in all kinds

of weather． She said． "It isn't as easy as it looks． but for all that， there is a good deal of

enjoyment in the work． You have got to have confidence in your ability or you won't do well in

anything．"

Utah Lake is， in a word， disgusting． The State of Utah has worked with many partners and

spent millions of dollars in an attempt to restore Utah Lake． It has indeed produced some active

effects． However， due to the wastewater getting into it， this body of water is rich in nutrient and

home to water bloom． Overfishing and the introduction of invasive species have only made the

problem worse． In the summer of 2016， 500 people in Utah complained about their headaches，

skin rashes and discomfort after swimming in the lake．

The Utah Lake Restoration Project is headed by Parker． He imagines a beautiful lake dotted with

man-made islands where a community could be built． Parker frequently goes to Capitol Hill to

push for the proposal of the comprehensive lake restoration． Parker follows his rules "big ideas are

worth approaching"． as the project calls for lake digging， the creation of islands， the removal of

invasive species to restore the habitats of native plants， fish and so on．

Speaking of the Utah Lake Restoration Project， Ben Holcomb said． "It is not quite in line with

reality．" He added， "Despite impressive computer models and the current project report， the

Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the actual field research to show that this project will have a

positive effect on the lake's ecosystem．"

When asked how the public would help beautify Utah Lake， the lake's official workers suggested

picking up garbage． However， it has a greatly limited effect on the overall health of the lake．

Parker's plan may seem like the state's best chance to restore Utah Lake， but in reality the Utah

Lake Restoration Project lacks the facts necessary for this sort of proposal． The State of Utah

should propose some suggestions for the revision of the plan and offer the Utah Lake Restoration

Project the access necessary to conduct research which could be compared with their theoretical

findings． Only then can the State of Utah make an educated decision on behalf of people and

resources．

8. What can we learn from paragraph 1？ ______

A. People don't swim in Utah Lake because of its pollution．

B. It is not difficult to save Utah Lake for the State．

A. To build a safe home for native creatures in Utah Lake．

B. To make the water of Utah Lake rich in nutrient．

C. To make Utah lake popular with foreign tourists．

D. To build a community near Utah lake．

10. What's Ben Holcomb's attitude towards the Utah Lake Restoration Project？ ______

A. Doubtful．B. Optimistic．C. Unconcerned．D. Approving．

11. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph？ ______

A. Picking up garbage is the key to saving the whole lake．

B. There's no proper way to save the health of Utah Lake．

C. Parker's plan needs some field research and adjustment．

D. Local people should take responsibility for saving Utah Lake．

Recently， few samples of mice with diabetes（糖尿病）in an experiment showed signs of

recovery． Then there arose much discussion regarding the morality of such animal-testing

procedures， especially since many unfortunate samples lost lives． Is it moral and necessary to

make sacrifices to benefit the majority？ Or are these procedures merely an immoral and

unnecessary waste of lives？

Some people assume that it is acceptable to make sacrifices for the greater benefits because it can

provide a more accurate insight to promote the progress of science． Through the test， we are able

to obtain more accurate and reliable results that can lead to beneficial scientific progress to help the
