Being a pilot was first seen as a male occupation, however, these amazing female aviators

proved that to be wrong.

Amy Johnson

On May 5, 1930, Amy Johnson, an English pilot, set out in her airplane, hoping to beat the

record for the fastest flight between England and Australia: 15 days. Flying through sandstorms,

monsoons, and terrible heat, she made several forced landings and landed in Australia 19 days

later. She didn’t beat the record, but she was the first female to make the solo flight. Johnson

set other solo records and eventually earned the nickname “Queen of the Air.”

Lee Ya-Ching

Lee Ya-Ching was China’s first woman pilot. When war broke out between China and

Japan in 1937, Lee volunteered to be a combat pilot (空战飞行员) but the government declined

that offer. Determined to do more to help her country, Lee set up a hospital and refugee (难民)

camps. Then she bought a plane and set out a goodwill tour. She flew all over the United States,

Canada, South America, and the Caribbean to raise money to help Chinese refugees by

entertaining crowds with her flying.

Lotfia El Nadi

During the 1910s in Egypt, girls were expected to become housewives. Lotfia El Nadi,

however, wanted a more exciting life. While attending the college, El Nadi secretly enrolled a

flying school, working as the school’s secretary to pay for her lessons. In 1933, at the age of

26, she became the first female pilot in the Arab world. El Nadi’s fame inspired many other

young Egyptian women to become pilots.

1.Which of the following best describes Amy Johnson’s first solo flight?

A. Routine. B. Pleasant. C. Eventful. D. Educational.

2. How did Lee Ya-Ching help her country?

A. By being a combat pilot. B. By volunteering in hospitals.

C. By flying refugees to safety. D. By collecting money with airshow.

3. What do the three women pilots have in common?

A. They were peace-lovers. B. They were born with talent.

C. They were dream-seekers. D. They were highly educated.

Solving the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster would be considered as a good deed, right?

On that basis, a webcam has been set up overlooking the lake. Anyone can tune in at any time.

If you see something suspicious (可疑的), you simply click the “snapshot” buttons to submit a

picture for further analysis. It is free, easy, and you can do it for as little or as long as you like,

with no login or signup required. What you are doing is micro–volunteering, which offers

volunteers a series of easy tasks that can be done anytime, anywhere, on their own terms.

Micro-volunteering could involve anything from retweeting a message to joining a flash

mob (快闪). Volunteers do not need to go through an application or training process, or to make

any ongoing commitment. The vast majority of micro-volunteering takes place online, but it

doesn’t have to. Weeding a garden in a local community center counts just as much.

The key benefit of micro-volunteering is its flexibility. People frequently cite their lack of

time as the biggest barrier to volunteering. For many, micro-volunteering removes the need to

worry about making long-term commitments once they start volunteering. It enables people

who might be excluded from traditional ways of volunteering to participate.

To some extent, micro-volunteering is an approach that aims to help lots of people come

together to make a difference. It could take a while to see its impacts. Studies, however, have

shown that 65 percent of those who have micro volunteered were still actively doing so one

year later. Even though micro-volunteering cannot replace long-term commitments, it serves as

a complement (补充) to the more traditional methods of contributing to good causes.

4. Why is the Loch Ness Monster mentioned in paragraph 1?

A. To illustrate micro–volunteering. B. To get more volunteers involved.

C. To offer a solution to the mystery. D. To post a micro-volunteering task.

5. What does micro-volunteering feature?

A. It’s free of commitment. B. It’s flexible, time-wise.

C. It’s only available online. D. It needs systematical training.

6. Which can best explain the underlined “be excluded from” in paragraph 3?

A. Be used to. B. Be distracted by.

C. Be discouraged from. D. Be interested in.

7. What does the writer think of micro-volunteering according to the last paragraph?

A. Quick-impact. B. Widely-recognized. C. Irreplaceable. D. Sustainable.

Vine Lines

Gaudí often used

vine shapes to

decorate the walls

of the church.

Natural Windows

Windows are

similar to shapes

found in nature.

Tree Structures Gaudí

made a “forest” inside the

church by

creating columns that look

like trees.

Spiral Stairways

Gaudí used spirals

in many parts of

the church.

It’s a structure that isn’t finished, yet two million people visit it every year. Antoni Gaudí

began building his church, La Sagrada Famlíia, in 1883 — and work continues to this day and

it is expected to be finished in 2026, a hundred years after Gaudí’s death.

The architect grew up fascinated by the natural wonders of the countryside. Early in his

career, Gaudí experimented with many styles but eventually developed his own ideas about

architecture. The natural world was the main inspiration for Gaudí’s designs. “Nothing is art if

it does not come from nature,” he believed. Gaudíunderstood that the natural world is full of

curved forms, not straight lines. With this idea in mind, he based his structures on nature.

The architect’s love of nature guided the design of La Sagrada Famlíia. Gaudídesigned

the inside of La Sagrada Família to feel like a forest. Inside the church, pillars rise up like trees.

This theme continues outside. The outside of the church is decorated with sculptures of wildlife.

For example, a turtle (a symbol of the sea) and a tortoise (a symbol of the land) are carved into

the base of two columns.

Gaudídied in 1926. Before his death, he made three -dimensional models of his plans for

the building, hoping that others could complete his masterpiece. Many of these models were

lost during the Spanish Civil War, but some survived. These models have helped Gaudí’s

successors. For example, Mark Burry, an architect from New Zealand, uses computer

technology and the surviving models to bring Gaudí’s plans to life.

Gaudí’s work illustrates a timeless truth. As the architectural historian Joan Bassegoda

wrote: “The lesson of Gaudí is … to look at nature for inspiration … Nature does not go out of

fashion.” In fact, you might say Gaudí’s architectural style was ahead of its time. The

architect’s nature-inspired designs can be seen as an early example of the modern science of

biomimetics — a science that uses designs in nature to solve modern problems.
