One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. It is absolutely the case in Turkey where garbage collectors started
collecting books that have been thrown away and ended up opening a library.
It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books when he was working and then it
snowballed from there. Ipek and other garbage men started gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for
landfills（垃圾填埋地）and as their collection started to grow, so did word of mouth. Soon, local residents started
donating books directly. The library was initially available only to the garbage employees and their families to use but as
the collection grew, so did public interest and the library was opened to the public in 2017.
“
On the one hand, there were those who were leaving these books on the streets. On the other hand, others were
looking for these books, ” Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNN. “We started to discuss the idea of creating a library
from these books. When everyone supported it, this project happened. ”
All the books that are found are sorted and checked for condition. If they pass, they go on the shelves. Today, the
library has over 6, 000 books that range from fiction to nonfiction and there’s a very popular children’s section that even has
a collection of comic books. An entire section is devoted to scientific research and there are also books available in English
and French. The collection has grown so large that the library loans books to schools and educational programs.
“
Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books, ” Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire
a full-time employee to administrate the library.
This library is incredibly popular. It is frequently filled with the children of the city’s workers and students from
nearby schools. There is a waiting room set up for readers and chess boards for the people who visit the library. You can
even enjoy a cup of tea in the waiting room.

Most people, if you survey them, know how much of all global trade is done by sea. But the pollution and carbon
emissions from shipping draw much less attention than those from road transport and other industries. It’s over the horizon,
out of sight and out of mind.
Today, the international shipping industry is the main mode of transport for around 90% of world trade. It’s powered
almost entirely by fossil fuels like petrol. Studies show that alternative technologies and zero-emission fuels — including e-
fuels such as hydrogen and methanol — have the potential to significantly reduce the industry’s carbon footprint. There’s
just one catch: they don’t exist yet.
Even if the technology readily exists, it would only represent one piece of the puzzle. The infrastructure（基础设施）
for that technology or fuel is going to take time to develop. And an even bigger issue is going to be whether that e-fuel is
green, which involves other industries such as renewable electricity. Do we even have enough renewable electricity in the
world to be able to generate these fuels? It’s a complex supply chain that requires cooperation across the industry. It’s not
something that one company can solve by itself.
According to Piotr Konopka, from DP World, a multinational company based in Dubai, some simple behavioral
changes can help cut down on fuel use in the meantime. Efforts can vary from the regular maintenance and reduced idling
（
空转）of port equipment to the use of weather routing that helps ships avoid rougher, more fuel-intensive stretches of
water. “Of course, efficiency is unlikely to ever reduce emissions by more than five or ten per cent, but it’s definitely a low-
hanging fruit, ” he says.
“
This is the last moment for the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to act determinedly to cut shipping
emissions as the pace of climate change and its disastrous impacts continue to develop, ” says Delaine McCullough, a
policy manager at Ocean Conservancy. “We need countries to demand that the IMO set strong emission-reduction goals of
5

0 per cent by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2040 and to take action at home if the IMO fails to do the right thing. ”
8. What aspect of ocean transport goes largely unnoticed?
A. Its contribution to international trade.
C. Its advantage over land transport.
B. Its negative environmental impact.
D. Its economic importance.

9. What does the author intend to address in paragraph 3?
A. The great demand for technological innovations.
B. The broader challenges associated with adopting e-fuels.
C. The potential impact of e-fuels on the shipping industry.
D. The lack of cooperation among shipping-related industries.
3
0. What might Piotr Konopka advise the shipping industry to do?
A. Increase investment in alternative fuels. B. Carry out stricter emission control policies.
C. Take measures to make fuel use more efficient. D. Develop new. technologies for reducing emissions.
1. How does Delaine McCullough sound in the last paragraph?
3
A. Urgent and concerned.
B. Confused and doubtful.
C. Optimistic and hopeful.
D. Confident and calm.
D
When I began to learn Chinese, I pursued what many around me saw as an unconventional strategy. Instead of
painstakingly writing out characters and practising sentence order, I set out to make as much of a fool of myself as possible.
I spoke my mistake-ridden Chinese with friends, annoyed teachers with bad jokes and punished my ears with native music
and podcasts. It wasn’t perfect, but it was enough to interview people and read short news articles in just a year.
Organizational psychologist Adam Grant neatly sums up this method alongside other systems and qualities in his new
book. “Being a creature of discomfort, ” Grant writes, “can unlock hidden potential in many different types of learning. ”
This is just one character skill the Wharton professor believes can unlock an individual’s potential to do greater things than
their background or experience might suggest. This is essential for more than learning a skill or a language; this is what he
says takes individuals to the pinnacle（顶峰）of their industry.

Grant writes that universities and companies should take more steps to recognize potential, and where an individual has
overcome difficulties like growing up in poverty. This quantifying the unquantifiable could be done, he suggests, by looking
at the rate of change of a student’s grades as well as the final score.
The example of Mexican-American José Hernández comes to mind. The astronaut attained his dream of joining NASA
after being rejected countless times by a system that did not take into account his different experiences working as a farm
labourer when he was young and overcoming struggles.
Systems, therefore, need to change to find the best people. This is also a key message in the book: Improve the
pipelines so that better people come up in the future.

A. He read the latest news stories. B. He wrote out characters carefully.
C. He did sentence order exercises regularly. D. He spoke the language regardless of errors.
3. What might lead one to remarkable success according to Grant?
3
A. Keeping comfortable relationships.
B. Obtaining relevant work experience.
C. Having a strong educational background.
D. Putting oneself in uncomfortable situations.

4. What does Grant expect schools to do?
A. Prioritize students’ social skills.
B. Focus on students’ final assessment results.
C. Track the progress of students’ performance. D. Ask students to learn from great individuals.
5. What might be the title for Grant’s new book?

A. Breaking Through Rejections: You Are Your Own Boss
B. Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things
C. Path to Success: Breaking Restrictions for Personal Growth
D. From Poverty to Pinnacle: Redefining Success Through Strategies

Why is it that when you have the most to do you feel the least able to act? This sense of helplessness — also called
“
overwhelm freeze” — always seems to set in when you have a dozen things on your list, all equally pressing. Or it shows
up when you have one huge thing
