Hwever, just after cmpleting her cursewrk and just befre turning in her final thesis, her then-byfriend Gerge Hislp, a GSE student in Reserve Officers’ Training Crps (ROTC), gt called in t serve during Wrld War II, prmpting the pair t get married and Virginia Hislp t leave campus befre graduating.
Nw, 83 years after leaving campus and living in service t learning, Hislp returned t Stanfrd t finish what she started and receive her graduate degree. Lking back n her career, Hislp credits her time at Stanfrd and the things she’ s learned frm cmmunity partners alng the way fr her ability t impact students. “I think I did gd things fr ur lcal schl system and I helped braden it ut,” she said. “Fr me, this degree is an appreciatin f the many years I’ve put in wrking fr the schls in the Yakima area and n different bards.”
At the Diplma ceremny, GSE Dean Daniel Schwartz cncurred, saying Hislp “led a life f tremendus educatinal accmplishment.” Her fellw graduates and their families gave her a standing vatin. When Hislp rse frm her seat, dressed in cap and gwn, t walk acrss the stage and receive her master’s hd (兜帽), the applause rared nce again. She greeted Schwartz n stage and was handed her diplma. She smiled fr the cameras. Her grandkids and great- grandkids waved and cheered. “My gdness,” Hislp said. “I’ve waited a lng time fr this.”

Cral reefs (珊瑚礁) are filled with a diverse range f fish. Sme fish are mre beautiful t humans than thers, and many peple firmly believe that beautiful fish deserve mre cnservatin than the uglier species. Is the “firm belief” true? Yu can get the answer frm a new paper published in the jurnal PLOS Bilgy.
Researchers shwed 481 phtgraphs f ray-finned reef fish t 13,000 members f the public. With that data, they then trained a cmputer mdel t generate predictins fr an additinal 4,400 phtgraphs f 2,417 f the mst cmmn reef fish species. They next cmpared the aesthetic rating f each species with ther characteristics, including evlutinary histry, distinctiveness frm ther fish, cnservatin status and imprtance t fisheries.
After analyzing the numbers, researchers fund that the fish humans rated as the mst beautiful tended t be less eclgically and evlutinarily distinct. Prettier fish were als mre likely t be listed as species f “least cncern” n the Internatinal Unin fr Cnservatin f Nature(IUCN) Red List.
On the cntrary, the fish that humans fund t be the least attractive were the mst eclgically and evlutinarily distinct, and they were mre likely t be listed as “threatened” n the IUCN Red List. Unattractive species als tended t be mre imprtant t cmmercial fisheries, which put them at higher risk fr verfishing.
“The less attractive species have the highest eclgical distinctiveness, and thus prvide the highest diversity f eclgical functins,” they write in the paper. “We need t pay mre attentin t the extinctin risk f the less attractive fish species, r that might have verlked effects n reef ecsystem functining.”
“Therefre, t minimize the impact f aesthetic biases, scientists, cnservatin grups and plicymakers may need t change hw they cmmunicate abut wildlife,” the researchers write. “Making peple mre aware f the rles uglier fish play in reef ecsystems culd help them gain mre supprt.”
28. What did the researchers d fr their research?
A. They rated all the phts n their wn.B. They hunted fr reef fish in cral reefs.
C. They stayed underwater t mnitr fish.D. They used a cmputer t predict ratings.
29. What des the researchers’ analysis suggest?
A. The research is a failure.B. Fish’s rle in nature is equal.
C. The “firm belief” isn’t true.D. Uglier fish are less imprtant.
30. What is the researchers’ advice?
A. Building natural reserves wrldwide fr uglier fish.
B. Making an attempt t raise peple’s aesthetic levels.
C. Raising awareness abut the appearance f uglier fish.
D. Educating peple n uglier fish’s eclgical imprtance.
31. What might be the best title fr the text?
A. Uglier Fish Are Facing ExtinctinB. Cral Reefs Rely n Varius Fish
C. Uglier Fish Need Mre PrtectinD. Aesthetic Biases Put Reefs in Danger

A culture’s values can be mirrred by its humur. Humur has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thmas Hbbes, wh disliked humur, and thught laughter is nthing else but sudden glry arising frm sudden thught f feeling far better than thers. He thught humur t be a negative quality f human narrw-mindedness.
Hwever, Mrdechai Grdn, PhD f Educatin, insists that humur allws us t view the wrld frm an angle that is amusing rather than serius. I agree with Grdn. Learning t lk at the wrld thrugh humur is imprtant.
In the United States, every fur years an electin ccurs. Withut humur as a way t express their feelings, hw wuld Americans be willing t supprt the electin? Televisin shws like The Daily Shw have becme imprtant parts f American culture. They are affecting the masses by uncnsciusly inputting plitics int their minds. They make plitics fun.
Of curse, plitics is nly ne type f humur. Scial humur helps peple thrugh the twists and turns f the human cnditin. American pp culture prmtes an unhealthy self-image. On the tpic f self-image, Hari Kndablu stands ut. He has a jke abut the ppular musical grup The Pussycat Dlls, describing their hit sng Dn’t Cha as a negative representatin f wmen. He pints ut the bvius ffence in American culture.
A study frm Lyla University Maryland has shwn that humur is ne determining factr in selecting a partner. Amng ther things, peple lk fr an utstanding funny bne in a ptential partner.
Of curse, humur is nt always used fr gd purpses. Humur can be linked t vulgarity (粗俗) and racism, but, like everything else, it has the ptential t unite human beings by allwing us t laugh at urselves, ur failures and ur cnnectins with ne anther.
Thugh life may seem tugh and depressing at times, all I have t d is lk in the mirrr at my increased wrinkles (皱纹) t knw that there is cmedy ut there that even Chaplin wasn’t aware f. With that in mind, remember t laugh with humanity.
32. What did Hbbes think f humur?
A. It resulted in the narrw-mindedness f human beings.
B. It was nly a way t laugh at thers t make neself feel better.
C. It had the pwer t mirrr persnal glry and natinal values.
D. It made peple view the wrld frm anther angle.
33. What is the authr’s attitude twards plitical humur?
A. Wrried.B. Disappinted.C. Curius.D. Appreciative.
34. Hw is the furth paragraph mainly develped?
A. By describing the prcess.B. By giving an example.
C. By cmparing.D. By classifying.
35. What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. Chaplin wasn’t aware f being laughed at.
B. The authr feels helpless and sad abut getting lder.
C. Never be the ne wh laughs at ther peple.
D. The authr is determined t face life with a sense f humur.
