2022 Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards

A yearly contest for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year was held in London this year. The

contest had 38,575 entries from around the world. Let's have a scanning of four of this year’s best

works.

The great prize this year belonged to Karine Aigner of the US for an incredible shot of a ball

of bees. The“ball”was formed with a lot of male bees fighting to win a single female bee. The

picture was taken in southern Texas.Ms Aigner says that soon after the picture was taken, a female

bee flew off with one of the males.

Dmitry Kokh of Russia won the award for Urban Wildlife. His picture of polar bears in an

old house was taken on an island in the Chukchi Sea,between Russia and Alaska.Mr Kokh was on

a boat when he noticed polar bears walking through an area where no one had lived for years. To

get the picture without disturbing the bears ，he used a quiet drone（无人机）to take the picture.

Fernando Constantino Martinez Belmar of Mexico had to wait in the dark in a cave filled

with bats and snakes to get the image. Rat snakes in Yucatàn hang from cracks in the ceiling of the

cave, hoping to grab one of the many bats that are flying out of the cave for the night. Using a red

light that wouldn't disturb the animals,Mr Martinez Belmar waited until just the right moment to

take the picture. He won the Amphibian and Reptile Behavior prize.

Nick Kanakis of the US took the picture of a wood wren —（鹧鸪） a bird that spends most

of its time on the ground. The bird has its ear to the ground, listening for insects to catch and eat.

After spotting a bird looking for food farther away, he stayed very still to get the shot, which won

the prize for Bird Behavior.

When I was a child,my grandmother often said interpersonal communication mattered. She

backed that up with her own behavior, and she invested her time and energy in interacting with

people. When she walked down the street, she spoke to everyone, whether an elderly or a

child,speaking whether English or Spanish.

However,as she aged,she noticed that most people wouldn't have time for communication

that's longer than a 160-character text message, much less time to develop genuine friendships that

last decades. In fact, people are barely speaking to one another nowadays. As much as I hate to

admit it,I have noticed it too.

My grandmother opened my mind to having a pen pal on the other side of the world. It all

started in 2013 when I was at University of Southern California. I met with Kerstin Zilm, a

German radio personality who wanted to interview me about being a student struggling

financially. I didn't know much about German culture or the German audience who would listen to

the show ，but I agreed to do so. I had internalized（使内在化）my grandmother's concept and I

felt this was another way of communication and that speaking about my story was better than

keeping it to myself. You never knew who could learn from your life experiences.

After the story aired, a woman named Renate reached out to Kerstin, inquiring how she could

find me and help me financially with college. I was grateful, but my pride didn't allow me to

accept the money.

However, I didn't let the opening halt. Encouraged by Kerstin, I emailed Renate back,

thanking her for her kindness. This was the beginning of a beautiful intercontinental friend-ship.

From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. And whenever I was in trouble, she was

always there. She sent me virtual hugs at the moments when I needed them most. Though I have

never met her in person,she is one of the most important people in my life.

Software expert James Curran helped rewrite Australia's new curriculum （全部课程）for

information technology subjects. He said the changes to the current curriculum could stop

teenagers avoiding computing and maths subjects in high school.“Kids are naturally curious, but

we don't set up the curriculum in a way that awakens their curiosity so that they can learn the

things they want to, and the things they have to,”Curran said.“Teaching maths and computing in a

new way makes a very big difference."

As more and more high school students drop out of advanced maths subjects, Dr Curran

warned that computing subjects were in an even more difficult position than them. Only 1,748

year-12 students enrolled（登记）in software design and development in New South Wales last

year—about half the 3,300 who studied the subject 10 years ago. Enrolments in information

technology have declined sharply,from 10,000 in 2001 to just 1,939 students in 2021.

“Students are not taking computing subjects at the senior level because the subject is a bit out of

date,”Curran said.“Computing is a subject that changes all the time and needs to be changed every

few years, so I would like to see a continuous process of smaller changes and updates to it.”

As schools struggle to make students stick with the subjects of information technology,

engineering and maths,1,000 primary schools across Australia have signed up for a new pro-gram

to get young kids interested in high-tech jobs. The program uses online lessons to show children

as young as six the process of designing the Olympics logo, and how Netflix collects information

to decide which movies to make.

11-year-old student Mia Lucas had fun completing a model on UX design. It is the“user

experience"process that design teams use to create products.“I've always been interested in

creating a website or an app but didn't know the first step in doing that," she said.“The pro-gram

helps me a lot.”

28. What is the new curriculum supposed to be according to Curran?

A.Typical.B.Controversial. C.Appealing.D.Challenging.

29. What can we know about computing subjects in Australian schools?

A.They are less popular with today's teenagers.

B.They are valued negatively by many schools.

C. They are harder than advanced maths subjects.

D. They are keeping a continuous rate of updating.

30. How does the new program encourage the students to take computing subjects?

A.By offering high-tech jobs to them.

B.By turning lessons into virtual ones.

C.By letting them choose subjects freely.

D.By showing applications of the subjects.

31.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Australian students are deserting the computing subjects

B.A new curriculum fails to work with Australian students

C. How did an Australian student fall in love with computing?

D. Why did Australian schools stick with computing subjects?
