21、 With less than 55,000 grizzly bears left in the wild across North America, the sighting of even one is a cause for celebration.
Mike Gibeau, a specialist says the Clarksons and other motorists who have met the white bear—now called Nakoda are truly lucky. For, though there are a few variations of white bears to be found, such as the Kermode bears in British Columbia and the polar bears in the Arctic, white grizzly bears are extremely rare. “I have never in all my time working with grizzly bears—since the early 1980s—seen a white grizzly bear. I’ve seen a really, really blond grizzly, but never white one,” Gibeau told St. Albert Today. 1.
Though this is the first time the world has seen the white grizzly, park keepers have known of Nakoda’s existence since 2018. Jon Stuart-Smith says his team first spotted the bear and its sibling (兄弟姐妹) as babies traveling with their mother.
Nakoda and its sibling were seen again in 2019. This time the smart bears returned to the area earlier this year but left after realizing the grains had been cleared, and there was nothing left to eat. The park officials never publicized the unique bear due to fear that it would be chased by fans eager to catch glimpse. As it turns out, the experts were right. Nakoda’s photos and videos, which have gone viral, have led to people rushing to the bear’s current location and resulted in unsafe parking and traffic jams. To protect the animals, on June 18. 2020, the concerned officials imposed a 10-kilometer no-stopping zone along the section of the Trans-Canada Highway.
Violators (违反者) will be fined anywhere from $85 to as much as $18.500. “We hope this informs visitors to travel through the area safely and to prevent these bears from getting hit on the highway,” said Stuart-Smith. Meanwhile wildlife experts are trying to keep the young grizzlies away from the highway as much as they can.

22、 The recent pandemic（疫情）has affected all aspects of life, including the way we live. Our homes are no longer single-purpose spaces. 【1】 No wonder many architects have predicted how apartment design may advance in the years ahead.
•【2】 Entrance isn't necessarily a separate room. In smaller units, it might be created by a single wall that blocks views through the unit and creates a sense of enclosure （封闭）.But it needs to be accompanied by a front-hall closet.
• More Flexible Spaces will become a trend. When thoughtfully designed, the dining rooms can quickly change from dining mode to working mode. 【3】 For example, a windowless alcove （壁凹） can be closed off with sliding glass doors. It can be a space where you can set up a home office, a library, or a learning space for children.
• Access to the outdoors will be welcome. After spending so much time indoors, having access to fresh air and nature at home is likely to become essential. One way to provide a closer connection to nature may be with larger courtyard gardens. Or it could be accomplished with more balconies. 【4】
• Advanced technology will be adopted. A growing awareness of how people pick up viruses from the surfaces they touch will lead to more widespread adoption of smart-home technology. " Maybe it's going to become a new standard. 【5】 Or your door will unlock itself when you come home," an engineer said.
A．Public Spaces are needed.
B．A better entrance will catch on.
C．Homes could easily be like that.
D．You'll be able to talk to the elevator.
E．After all, fresh air is important for wellness.
F．Moreover, room sizes could also change to create more flexibility.
G．Instead they now serve as offices, gyms, workshops, classrooms, etc.
23、 Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.
Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. It is not customary to telephone someone every early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.
The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings often arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness(准时) is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S., no one would think of keeping a business partner waiting for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is five minutes late is expected to make a short apology.
This way of treating time is quite different from that of several other cultures. This helps to explain the unfortunate experience of a certain agriculturist from the United States, assigned to duty in another country. After a long delay, the agriculturist was finally agreed an appointment with the Minister of Agriculture. Arriving a little before the appointed hour, the agriculturist waited. The hour came and passed. At this point he suggested to the secretary that perhaps the minister did not know he was waiting in the outer office. This gave him the feeling of having done something to solve the problem, but he had not. Twenty minutes passed, then thirty, then forty-five. To an American, that is the beginning of the “insult period”. No matter what is said in apology, there is little that can remove the damage done by an hour’s wait in an outer office. Yet in the country where this story took place, a forty-five-minute waiting period was not unusual.
In the West, particularly in the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road stretching into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections, which are to be kept separate— “one thing at a time”. People who cannot plan events are not highly regarded. Thus, an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.
Since time has such different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.

D.they keep in mind that different cultures treat time differently.
24、In artist Roy Wang’s photos, mythical (神话的) creatures from The Classic of Mountains and Seas emerge in front of historical sites of Guangzhou.
The series of photographs is created by light painting in which the photographer uses light sources to produce different images which are captured by a camera, as if drawing on the photos. Roy Wang, the representative figure of light-painting photography in China, says, “What attracts me most about light painting is that, by using a simple light and against a dark background, I can paint in a free style.”
Wang was a professional athlete. However, his sports career ended in 2012 because of injuries. His travels led to his interest in photography. Once he saw light-painting photos by Spanish master Pablo Picasso online and was introduced to the technique. He began to try in this field.
In 2013, he started adding the dragon and other creatures from ancient texts to light painting. Wang’s work is inspired by mythical creatures that add a sense of mystery to his photography but at the same time it proves to be difficult to create such images with light.“The mythical creatures are as mysterious as light painting. They both emerge in the darkness, and without an exact shape or form, they are free. I let loose my imagination,based on the descriptions in ancient books,” said Wang.
To Roy Wang, the technique has a wide application in expressing different ideas. Apart from mythical creatures, he has been showing themes relevant to more recent events, such as a series in praise of medical workers during the outbreak of COVID-19.
Tradition will continue to be a creative force for Wang as he wants to add more Chinese elements in his works, including his next series, creating photos that have both aesthetic (美学的) and cultural values.

【4】What can we infer about Wang’s future works?
