My name is Alice. Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled ( 削弱 ) my

ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a year I struggled on,

constantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of

this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it

consumed me.

One day, I attended a presentation (报告) by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high

school. His presentation not only awed (使惊叹) and inspired me, but also helped create an inner

desire to make a difference in the world. I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that

smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea

that had seemed impossible. This contact was where my story began.

A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference. Looking

back, I now see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self

would have let pass, but that this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shortly

after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet

groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the

applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect

nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.

I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I’ve realized that my biggest

obstacle (障碍) this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of my head telling me

that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say

good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and

be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action.

4．What was the main cause for Alice’s anxiety?

A．Her desire to be perfect. B．Her habit of consumption.

C．Her inability to act her age. D．Her lack of inspiration.

5．How did Grant Brown’s presentation influence Alice?

A．She learned about the harm of desire.

B．She tasted the sweetness of friendship.

C．She decided to do something for nature.

D．She built up her courage to speak up.

6．Which of the following is the best description of Alice’s situation after the activities?

A．intelligent B．independent C．innovative D．confident

7．What can we learn from this passage?

A．Practice makes perfect. B．Patience is a cure of anxiety.

C．Action is worry’s worst enemy. D．Everything comes to those who wait.

Deserts could be the best places on Earth for harvesting solar power. They are spacious,

relatively flat, and never short of sunlight. So researchers imagine it might be possible to

transform the world’s largest desert, the Sahara, into a large solar farm, capable of meeting four

times the world’s current energy demand.

While the black surfaces of solar panels absorb most of the sunlight that reaches them, only

around 15% of that incoming energy gets turned into electricity. The rest is returned to the

environment as heat, affecting the climate. If these effects were only local, they might not matter

in a thinly populated desert. But the area of the installations in the Sahara would be vast, covering

thousands of square miles. Heat released from an area this size will be redistributed by the flow of

air in the atmosphere, having regional and even global effects on the climate.

A 2018 study used a climate model to assess the effects of building massive solar farms in

the Sahara. The model revealed that when the size of the solar farm reaches 20% of the total area

of the Sahara, the heat released by the darker solar panels creates a big temperature difference

between the land and the surrounding oceans that ultimately lowers surface air pressure and causes

wet air to rise and condense (凝结) into raindrops. With more rainfall, plants grow and the desert

reflects less of the sun’s energy since vegetation absorbs light better than sand and soil. With more

plants present, more water is evaporated ( 蒸发 ), creating a better environment that causes

vegetation to spread.

So, a large solar farm could generate enough energy and at the same time turn one of the

most abominable environments on Earth into a habitable place. Sounds perfect, right? Not quite.
