Please sit and click through the following online shopping websites to find the items you have been wanting to

get but haven’t had time to leave the house for.

Overstock

Overstock holds tons of items in categories like furniture, home improvement, outdoor, clothing, kitchen, and

many other departments. Visit the home page to see featured sales and top deals. Once you’re viewing all the items

from a search or other sections of the site, there’re many relevant filtering (筛选) options. For example, if you’re

looking for dining room tables, you can filter them by price, shape, material, color, brand, rating, and more.

Etsy

Anything from homemade soap to handcrafted (手工制作的) necklaces can be found at this global

marketplace. You won’t find the latest movies on Etsy, but you can certainly find innovative crafts made by people

in their homes. Moreover, Etsy is a great way for people who craft marketable items to make a little money on the

site.

Zappos

Zappos originally started with just shoes but has since expanded to offer all sorts of items, everything from

women’s clothing to kids’ clothing, accessories for men and handbags. The website is organized well with Women,

Men, Kids, Brands, Departments, and Sale being the major menu items. The website is particularly well-known

thanks to countless customer-submitted stories of Zappos’ employees going above and beyond to ensure their

customers’ shopping experiences are good.

Wish

Known by many as a cheap online shopping website, Wish is the place to go if you’re looking for

extraordinary deals. If you can deal with the occasional long waits to get your items, the deals might be worth it.

Some of the categories you can browse through include toys, gadgets, home decoration, fashion, shoes and phone

upgrades. Blitz Buy is a section of this shopping website where you can spin a wheel to get money off your

purchase.

Well, your questions have taken me back to the past and inspired me to reflect on my current work.

I became interested in plants when I was about six years old. I grew up in Hubei Province in central China,

which is well-known for medicinal plants. My grandfather was a local herbal doctor, and had much knowledge

about plant diversity. He went to the mountains to pick plants, and I helped him. So I’ve always had that

appreciation for green diversity.

But because I was his granddaughter, I was not allowed to inherit his medicinal knowledge — he was

supposed to pass that knowledge on to his son or his grandson. But I was guided and attracted by the plant diversity

I saw every day in the forests. In college, I was studying forestry, and a professor would take us on field trips. In the

mountains near my college, there must be 300 species of trees. So I asked him, “How can these plants come

together in this place so well?” He looked at me, saying, “That’s a good question. You can devote yourself to

studying that question.” That was the moment when I knew I wanted to be a plant biologist.

So today I’m a plant biologist who’s focused on studying plant diversity. Now I work on describing new

species — I’m working on describing a new ginseng (人参) species from Thailand and have also begun to describe

a new grape species from Yunnan Province in southwest China.

I am a lucky scientist. Plants hybridize (杂交) like crazy in the wild. These kinds of processes, without proper

tools, are impossible to figure out. Now we actually have various advanced tools to test our hypotheses (假设), to

understand the patterns and the processes of plant evolution.

Some people may think my work is boring. But for me, it’s not. We’re trying to understand how humans can

benefit from this vast plant diversity. Our science can teach us to conserve that plant diversity, so it can benefit not

only us, but future generations. Also, our research encourages the new generation to carry on the torch.

4. What made the author decide to be a plant biologist?

A. Her early school life. B. Her grandfather’s guidance.

C. A teacher’s encouragement. D. A wonderful childhood adventure.

5. Why does the author consider herself a lucky scientist?

A. She is good at hybridizing various plants.

B. She has lots of opportunities to work in labs.

C. She is allowed to propose hypotheses in public.

D. She has many good tools to study plant evolution.

6. How does the author find her work?

A. Boring. B. Simple.

C. Impractical. D. Meaningful.

7. Where is the text most probably taken from?

A. A journal entry. B. An interview.

C. A biography. D. A science report.

Hearing aids will become more accessible thanks to a new rule. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

announced on Tuesday that people can now buy hearing aids directly from a store or online, said FDA

Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf. Before, Americans could only get a hearing aid with a prescription, visiting a

hearing health professional and having a custom fitting. The new rule will help those with hearing loss to buy

hearing aids over the counter.

Dr. Robert Califf said, “Today’s action will not only help those with hearing loss gain access to more

affordable and innovative production options, but it’ll release the power of American industry to improve the

technology in a way it’ll impact the heavy burden of disability from hearing loss that affects the world.”

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) lauded the new rule made by the FDA. “ASHA

fully supports the creation of this new category of over-the-counter hearing devices, which will increase the

availability and affordability of hearing aids for many Americans,” said Janice R. Trent, a leader of ASHA.

The new rule still doesn’t ensure hearing aids are covered by insurance. Hearing aids often burn a huge hole in

people’s pockets with a pair costing $4,000, according to a study published in JAMA. Considering that five large
