Abandoned outside an orphanage（孤儿院）as a baby and adopted at the age of three by a family in the
Netherlands,16-year-old model Abbing has become known around the world, as a model who has appeared in
fashion magazines-but also as an inspiring representative of the albino（白化病人） community.
When it comes to modelling, Abbing has found her difference more of a blessing: she is represented by the
Zebedee Talent agency, which aims to make people who have disabilities more visible in the world of fashion.
“I want to help people to see that being different is good，and definitely not some curse（诅咒），as they
believe in countries like Tanzania and Malawi,"said Abbing.“Some companies try to include models who are
different,but sometimes for the wrong reason,because they want to say:'Hey,look at us! We are also including
people with differences or people of different color'."
But Abbing welcomes what she sees as a shift.People now want to learn about and accept differences. “They
should alsotalk with people with differences directly,ask them questions and listen to what they have to say,”she
urged.
When not in front of the camera,Abbing loves climbing and swimming, and used to love competitive
sports.It's important for her to focus on what is possible,rather than what isn't.“ At school,teachers tend to look at
the things you cannot do.I really didn't like that,although they meant well.I would rather they had focused on the
things I can do instead."
Abbing loves the world of travel and meeting new people,which her modelling has opened up, and
particularly working with artists and on artistic projects.The teen also pours her creativity into decoration
artwork.“Because I see the world from a different angle, my artwork turns out a little different as well,”she said.
24.What is one reason for Abbing's being chosen by Zebedee?
A.Her physical disability.
B.Her youthful appearance.
C.Her success in the fashion world.
D.Her fame in the albino community.
25.What does Abbing think of some companies hiring disabled models?
A.A social conflict.
B.A positive change.
C.An act of showing off.
D.A product advertisement.

B.Optimistic and patient.
C.Courageous and outgoing.
D.Athletic and humorous.
27.What message does Abbing's story convey?
A.Everyone is born equal.
B.Judge not by appearances.
C.Love makes the world go around.
D.You are beautiful the way you are.
C
As a junior economics reporter, I was once given an assignment which made me panic. I was asked to write a
story about an economic concept I didn't really understand. No one else from my team was around. Searching
online left me more confused. Just then, Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator （ 评 论 员 ） in my
company，walked past my desk. I took a deep breath and asked him. He explained it well in a few sentences and
my problem was unexpectedly solved.
Ever since then, I have been a big believer in asking “stupid" questions, by which I mean questions that you
fear make you look stupid. But I'm worried this is a dying art. Professor Arvind Narayanan once told me that his
students were always worrying their questions might be silly, which made the vast majority of his students tend to
keep silent in lectures no matter how he encouraged them, even when they were still filled with confusion.
Fear of asking "stupid" questions can lead you to pretend you know more than you do, which also makes you
more likely to believe whatever others say. One study published in 2021 asked participants to rank their
knowledge of a set of terms on a five-point scale from “never heard of it" to "know it well, understand the concept
＂.Some of the terms were real ；others were fake （伪造的）.The study found that people who were more
willing to pretend they know something well were more likely to fall for nonsense of others.
I know not everyone is lucky enough to have a Martin Wolf wandering past their desk. But trust me, a
journalist who asks questions for a living: most people really don't mind being asked something "stupid". If they
do, it is probably because they don't really understand it themselves, or they have something to hide. In that sense,
you learn something useful either way.
28.Why does the author mention her encounter with Martin?
A.To describe a journalist's work pressure.
B.To show the benefits of asking questions.
C.To present the best way to solve problems.
D.To introduce an economics reporter's routine.
29.What does the author mean by saying "this is a dying art"?
A.Fewer people tend to raise questions.
B.Few valuable questions are put forward.
C.People don't know how to ask questions properly.
