I threw a glance over my shoulder as I thundered down the frozen waterway in the sub-zero temperatures. Where was Mike, my guide? I wondered if he realized I was miles away. While out exploring in the early evening, my lead dog smelled something it couldnt resist. Regardless of my instructions, it instinctively wheeled around and led all the other dogs in the opposite direction at full speed. In my conversations with Mike over the past few days, Id been told that if I got lost, I would be in big trouble. There werent any supplies for me no extra clothing or shelter, not to mention the firestarter, and we had seen wolf tracks regularly. It was March, the end of the Alaskan winter. A long journey from Australia had brought me to Yukon, Alaska. My hosts log cabin was the starting point for my 10-day adventure. Wayne and Scarlett, my hosts, lived a sustainable life. They hunted, fished, and gathered food while consciously minimizing their carbon footprint. Having enjoyed many years of exploring the Alaskan wilderness, the couple chose to help adventurers to experience the same lifestyle. Driving a team of sled dogs is not as easy as it appears. Id imagined it would be a very relaxing experience, in which I would ride along with a pleasant smile while gazing at the passing landscape. In reality it turned out much tougher. You must predict where your dogs would go and how the surface ahead might change. During the journey, we stayed in a different place every night, and took care of our dog teams. These dogs can guarantee our safety and help us escape dangerous situations, so their health and well-being always rank first. After we settled, we started collecting snow for water and cutting firewood. Luckily, I didnt end up in the fangs (尖牙) of wolves. Mike found me sometime later.

But the industry is expected to bounce back in 2022, and by 2023, its predicted to reach new heights of $1, 031 billion. Heres how that might happen. The world was affected by the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020, as people rushed to pile up this bathroom product. In reality, there was never a true shortage. Its not clear exactly why the mass hysteria occurred. To nobodys surprise, today the tissue market is still booming. Demand for toilet paper, tissues and paper towels has been growing for years. As an added bonus, many companies are now branching out into medical tissue papers. Some have temporarily switched to surgical face masks and gowns to meet the demand for personal protection equipment. But theres more surprising medical use for paper: rapid tests. The system is widely used for many routine tests, such as to detect pregnancy and HIV. And there are already rapid tests out there that use paper to identify if a person has developed antibodies to Covid-19. Equally, food hygiene has become more of a concern. There has been a sharp decrease in the number of customers wanting to reach into a pot to fetch spoons, forks or straws for obvious reasons, causing restaurants to use more and more disposable packaging. Meanwhile, schools have started to provide paper lunch boxes so that students dont need to eat all together in a canteen. Then theres art. After months of lockdowns and disruption to social calendar, practical hobbies such as DIY, crafts, art and baking have recently experienced a renaissance. Some paper companies have seen more interest in paper for education, art and design. Of course, some aspects of paper production have taken more of a hit. “We supply a lot of paper that ends up in hotel, so weve seen a drop in sales,” says Nick Bizzell, the director of London-based Bizzell Paper. But Bizzell is still optimistic. He pointed out that demand for certain types of paper, such as the A4 kind used in offices, has been shrinking for decades, after losing the battle against computers. But overall the paper industry is growing. Paper is now protecting us from viral infections and boredom, and it will always be a valuable material in our life.8. What does the underlined phrase “the mass hysteria” probably refer to?A. The mass production of toilet paper in 2020.B. The true shortage of toilet paper caused by the public.C. The effect of Covid-19 on the paper industry.D. The unreasonable storage of toilet paper among the public.9. Which of the following have witnessed an increasing demand for paper?A. Rapid tests and physical checkup.B. Surgical face masks and eating tools.C. Medical protection equipment and food packaging.D. The treatment of Covid-19 and pregnancy detection.10. What causes more use of paper in art?A. Being unable to socialize.B. The promotion of paper companies.C. Being interested in art education.D. The marketing strategies of paper companies.11. Whats the text mainly about?A. Paper industry on the decline.B. Paper industry in the recovery.C. The blow of Covid-19 to the paper industry.D. The effect of medicine on the paper industry.DChildren arent the only ones who can benefit from naps. After hours of working, many adults feel sleepy at noon and find themselves in desperate need of a recharge. But instead of grabbing a cup of coffee, it may be more worthwhile to combat sleepiness with sleep.A power nap can “provide the refreshment you need if youre struggling to stay alert or havent had a good nights sleep,” explains Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist. A power nap “gives people the chance to rest for a short period of time to boost workplace productivity,” she says, but they are only beneficial when they are done correctly.How long should a power nap be? Sleep experts say that power naps should be quick and refreshing to increase alertness throughout the day. “You dont have to go to sleep fully.” says James Maas, a former professor and chair of psychology at Cornell University who coined the term “power nap” more than 50 years ago. “Its an opportunity to shut your eyes, breathe slowly and recharge.” For most people, 15 minutes should be enough to power through the rest of the work day. However, Maas cautions that lengthier naps are counterproductive and even harmful. “Never nap for 60 minutes. If you power nap any time longer than 40 minutes, youre going to wake up feeling dizzy for another hour or so.”Shelby Harris, a clinical psychologist, adds that the best time to have your power nap is between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., because napping any later in the day “can interfere with your sleep at night.”In contrast to coffee or soda, which is likely to “damage your sleep at night and only offer short term energy for about 30 minutes,” Robbins says a power nap is a healthier alternative to improve workplace performance, strengthen memory and boost creativity. Harris adds naps have long-term health benefits too, such as improving your mood and aiding in stress management. “Power naps can reduce accidents and mistakes while also improving attention, alertness, concentration and performance. They can even be used effectively to combat drowsy driving when a short nap is taken just before getting behind the wheel,” she says.12. How can we fight sleepiness after hours of working at noon?A. By drinking a cup of coffee.B. By having a power nap.C. By getting a good nights sleep.D. By listening to music.13. Which is the best choice for a power nap?A. 15minutes between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.B. 40 minutes between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.C. 15 minutes between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.D. 40 minutes between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.14. What do Robbions and Harris mainly convey?A. The benefits of power naps.B. The damage coffee and soda do to you.C. Means of reducing accidents and mistakes.D. Ways to improve workplace performance.15. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Power naps consB. The benefits of coffeeC. When we should take a power napD.
