We were having the rest of our meal at that time, so we told her what we had ordered. Debra then asked the waitress to just repeat our order for them. Next, Debwra said.

The groups founder, Boy an Slat, an inventor born in 1994, was just 16 when he was moved to clean up the oceans when he was on a dive and saw more plastic bags than fishLast Saturday, a ship pulling the pipe-shaped floating barrier left San Francisco. Attached to it is a screening skirt that hangs three meters down in the water. The screen is designed to collect the plastic as it moves through the water. Sea animals can safely swim under the barrierThe cleanup system also comes with lights powered by the sun, cameras, and other special devices, so the system can communicate its position at all times. That way a support ship can find it every few months to remove the plastic that has been collected.Shipping containers will hold all the plastic gathered, including bottles and fishing equipment and are expected to be back on land within a year. Then the plastic will be recycled. The free-floating barriers are made to survive extreme weather conditions and damage from continual use. They will stay in the water for twenty years, thus collecting 90% of the garbage in the area.The Ocean Cleanup has received $ 35 million in donations to pay for the project, hoping to put 60 free-floating barriers in the Pacific Ocean by 2020. Its important to turn off the taps on plastic entering the ocean, but I also think people can do more than one thing at a time to deal with this problem, Slat said.8. What drove Slat to invent the collector?A. The interest in invention B. His failure to dive due to rubbish.C. The sight of too many plastic bags D. His knowledge of garbage in the Pacific Ocean9. How does the floating barrier work?A. It reaches into the water to collect the plastic B. It has large containers to produce powerC. It forms barriers to protect sea animals D. A ship drags it along in the ocean.10. Which does the underlined word it in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The support ship. B. The floating barrierC. The plastic to be recycled. D. The position of special devices.11. What is important for protecting the ocean according to Slat?A. Sending more collectors into the ocean B. Inventing more ocean cleanup devicesC. Stopping plastic from entering the ocean D. Banning the use of plastic bags in boatsDWhen people find themselves in difficult conflicts, they often turn to mediation(调解). Mediator are advised to listen attentively, avoid favoring the ideas of one party, and make both sides feel at ease. Surprisingly, new research that my colleagues and I conducted shows that, to effectively help people settle their conflicts, mediators should adopt a hostile(敌对的 ) attitude rather- than a calming one. A hostile mediator, we find, brings better results than a nice oneWhy would adding more negativity to an already hostile situation prove beneficial? Consider how parents typically react when they cant get their children to stop quarreling: I dont care who started it, both of you, go to your rooms! At first sight, a calm mediator seems likely to be more effective. But as anyone with brothers or sisters knows, parents seemingly unsympathetic treatment of the situation can have an unusual effect,In our research, we created situations in which pairs of negotiators were part ofa heated conflict.In some cases, the mediator had a nice approach-calm and polite. In others, he was hostile-aggressive and somewhat rude. Across different types of conflicts, we found that negotiators were more willing and able to reach an agreement in the presence of a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one.The main result of the test is not that hostility pays off. In fact, recent research has documented the social costs of negative behavior. For example, being the target of rude behavior reduces peoples performance on a variety of tasks. Other research shows the social benefits of positive behavior.People are more likely to close deals and become future business partners.Even with the widespread social benefits of positive behavior and costs of negative behavior, hostility can pay off in certain situations.12. What is the parents settlement of conflicts in paragraph 2?A. Its calming and wise B. Its arbitrary but effective.C. Its commonly adopted. D. It harms family relationship13. How does the author support his viewpoints?A. By giving examples and experimenting. B. By analyzing causes and effects.C. By presenting facts. D. By making comparison/14. Which best describes the authors attitude in the text?A. Concerned.B. Doubtful.C. ObjectiveD. Positive.15. What could be the title of the text?A. The Significance of Effective Mediation B. The Costs of Negative BehaviorC. The Benefits of Positive Behavior D.
