Teams of researchers drove the turtles all the way

10、from Massachusetts to Florida, where they were put back into the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.The turtles story began last fall, when a large number of them got stuck near Cape Cod in Massachusetts. These tough turtles had to be nursed back to good health for about six months before they could

11、swim in the sea again.Sea turtles generally live south of the Carolinas in the Atlantic Ocean. But during the summer months, they take a ride on the Gulf Stream-a strong ocean current of warm water that runs north along the east coast. The Gulf Stream brings the turtles plenty of tasty food to eat.W

12、hen summer turns to fall, sea turtles head south again as the water turns colder. Thats because sea turtles are cold-blooded. That means they cannot produce their own body heat. They need the seawater to provide them with heat.Some turtles dont get to warmer waters fast enough. When the waters of th

13、e northern Atlantic turn cold in the fall, many turtles cant stand the cold. They can not move and become unable to find their way.

15、lth.“Its an exciting day for all these organizations,” said Connie Merigo of the New England Aquarium.“This is what we work for. These are endangered species.

19、lot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didnt realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon(外科医生). I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组管理资源),or CRM, a new idea to make flying

20、 safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions. I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that , an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was

21、 flying ; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear(起落架) down. He was a better pilot-and my boss -so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said,“We need to put the landing gear dow

22、n now!” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I have used it in the operating room ever since. CRM requires that the pilotsurgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor does not overreact, which might prevent fellow doc

23、tors from voicing opinions again. So when Im in the operating room,I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they are not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”.8.What does the author say about doctors in genera

24、l? A.They are unwilling to take advice. B.They like flying by themselves. C.They pretend to be good pilots. D.They are quick learners of CRM.9.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_. A.his boss operated on a patient B. he was in charge of a flying task C. his boss landed the

25、 plane too late D. he saved the plane by speaking up 10. In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means_. A. following flying requirements B. making a mistake that may cost lives C.overreacting to difference opinions D.listening to what fellow doctors say11 Which of the following can be the

26、best title for the text? A.CRM:A New Way to Make Flying Safe B.Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor C.The Making of a Good pilot D. A Pilot-Turned Doctor D Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job. One day, he gat

27、hered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed,he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the

28、car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.

Jimmy still had some grease(油迹) on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a ch

30、ange of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewers office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked,“Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmys

31、 heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself. Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmys surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company. “Sorry I had to keep yo

32、u waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped in this office. I just know you would be a trustworthy worker.
