With two documentaries—All That Breathes and The Elephant Whisperers—making it to the Oscars, there’s

four less-known reserves that are not so costly but equally worth exploring.

Coring a Wildlife Reserve

Gulf of Mannar Marine National Park

The park has 21 small islands and three distinct coastal ecosystems—coral reef, seagrass bed and mangroves

When 76-year-old Antoinette-Marie Williams played 17-year-old Emmett Daniels in chess for the first time,

she gave Daniels a run for his money. Paired through DOROT, a New York organization which was launched in

1976, they are a perfect match. “I was a good opponent for him. I don’t think he expected it.” Williams told the

CVS Health blog Fortune Well. Their weekly games have led Daniels and Williams to a cross-generational

relationship that they both enjoy. Williams and Daniels’ relationship disproves the idea that people of different

generations have little in common.

Since its founding, DOROT has achieved a reputation of excellence and innovation in the fields of aging

services. Volunteers of young ages offer critical resources to older adults, in services specific to the person’s needs

and interests, with the ultimate goal of lessening loneliness of the old.

Loneliness has been recognized as a significant social issue for many years, but the classification of loneliness

as an epidemic(流行病) has emerged only in recent years. In 2018, the UK government appointed a Minister for

Loneliness, highlighting the increasing concern around the issue. This followed the publication of the 2017 report

by the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission, which found that loneliness was a growing social epidemic and called for a

national strategy to address the issue.

Fortunately, there are ways to battle loneliness, including the intervention in the lives of isolated seniors by

organizations like DOROT. It advocates building a support network by reaching out to family and friends, joining a

community or social group, or volunteering to connect with like-minded people. The connection between Williams

and Daniels shows that these inter-generational relationships play an important role in reducing loneliness and

adding joy to the lives of all the participants, young and old.

Another way to battle loneliness is to use technology to stay connected with loved ones which fosters meaning

and purpose through online activities and conversations. Practicing self-care is also encouraged, as is being patient

because strong relationships take time and effort to create.

4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph l probably mean?

A. She had a running race with Daniels.

B. Daniels felt disappointed.

C. Daniels had a tough win.

D. She gave Daniels money as a gift of greeting.

5. What is the purpose of DOROT?

A. To make technological innovation.

B. To enhance the living standards of the elderly.

C. To offer job opportunities for people of all ages.

D. To provide seniors with inter-generational connection.

6. What does the author try to stress in paragraph 3?

A. The solution to loneliness.

B. The root cause of loneliness.

C. The classification of loneliness.

D. The growing attention to loneliness.

7. In which section of a newspaper does this passage probably come from?

A. Society Watch. B. News Express.

C. Page Turner. D. Science Study.

Several years ago, I was at a pre-season football practice at a high school where I was working with the team

on a concussion (脑震荡) research project. The players were lined up in two rows facing each other and with little

more instruction from the coach than, “on the whistle, hit the man across from you”, great concern rushed through
