9、anted to celebrate the anonymous, unsung heroes of World War . Eli Rosenbaum, a long-time Nazi hunter, suggested the author look up Freddy Mayer, who led one of the wars most successful spy efforts. Mr. Lichtblau seized on the advice and immediately set out to meet Mayer, who was by then 94. During

10、their conversation, the author learned how a Jewish kid from Freiburg fled Nazi Germany, arrived in America and eventually joined the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), to be dropped as a spy into occupied Austria. Later in life, he was asked by an interviewer what made him such a good spy. “Chutzp

11、ah!” he responded. “I was afraid of absolutely nothing.”Mayer was only 11 years old in 1933 when Hitler became chancellor (JI) of Germany. The boys father, a decorated war veteran, thought his prior service to his country would protect his family from the rising tide of anti-Jewish. This didnt stop

12、a boy at school from calling Freddy a “stinking Jude” . Eventually he was forced out of school and in March of 1938 the Mayer family emigrated to the United States. In Brooklyn, New York, 16-year-old Freddy worked as an automobile mechanic, bouncing from job to job as he sought better wages to help

13、support his family. In October 1942, Mayer finally succeeded in enlisting and left for basic training. He made himself a natural leader and an ingenious soldier with a remarkable ability to improvise in unexpected situations. Given that he was also trilingual he spoke German, English and French its

14、a wonder the OSS took so long to recruit him. Mr. Lichtblau delivers the account with pure admiration for his hero. Despite his intention to reveal an untold story of bravery, Mr. Lichtblau does not furrow much new ground here. But one can understand why the author pursued it: Freddy Mayer, who died

15、 two months after his meeting with Mr. Lichtblau, is an irresistible subject, and he deserves a dozen more accounts of his adventures.4Why did Eric Lichtblau want to write “Return to the Reich” ?ABecause he was a noble man.BBecause he wanted to sing high praise for those unknown heroes in World War

16、.CBecause he enjoyed the experience of Freddy Mayer in World War very much.DBecause he wanted his readers to know more about the secrets of World War .5What does the word “Chutzpah” in the second paragraph mean?ACraziness.

19、in New Zealand, is not designed for survival. Weighing up to 4 kilograms, it is the worlds fattest parrot. It mates (交配) only when the rimu tree is in fruit, which happens every few years. It developed gradually in the absence of land-based natural enemies, so instead of flying above the trees it wa

20、lks like a duck across the dry forest floor. When it moves unsteadily across something that might kill it, it will stand still.Such unusual characteristics turned it into fast food for human settlers, and for the cats and rats they brought with them. It seemed to have disappeared by the 1970s, until

21、 scientists came across two undiscovered populations in the countrys south. These survivors were eventually moved to small enemy-free islands, where researchers have spent decades trying to get them to breed (繁殖).The scientists patience is finally rewarded. The rimu was in fruit this year, and more

22、than 80 chicks hatched, making this the best breeding season on record. Many have survived into adolescence, increasing the number of adult kakapos by a third, to 200 birds.Another danger to the kakapo is a lack of genetic diversity. This is one reason why fewer than half of kakapo eggs hatch. By ar

23、ranging the genome (基因组) of every living bird, scientists can identify closely-related individuals and put them on different islands. Every bird is fitted with something to track its slightest movement. If a female mates with an unsuitable” male, the process can be stopped.All these efforts cost alm

24、ost New Zealand $1.3 million this breeding season. Yet the kakapos future still looks unsafe. Earlier this year a severe disease tore through the population. And tiny as the number of kakapos is, space is running out on the two islands where most of them live. New enemy-free settlement must soon be

25、found.8Which of the following is a danger for the survival of the kakapo?AIt is the smallest bird in the world. BIt lacks exercise and usually stands still.CIt adapts slowly in genetic development. DIt cant respond actively when facing danger.9In what way may the scientists patience be rewarded?AThe

26、y hatched 80 kakapos eggs this year.BThey tried to make the rimu tree in fruit this year.CTwo survivors were moved to enemy-free islands.D50 chicks hatched have survived into adults this year.10Why did the scientists put kakapo in different islands?ATo stop closely-related kakapos mating. BTo increa

27、se the population of kakapo.CTo stop females mating with males. DTo hatch more kakapos eggs.11According to the author, the efforts to protect the kakapo in New Zealand are _.Asuccessful BunsafeCdoubtful DinadequateD A good way to look at failure straight in the face is by writing a failure resume(简历

28、)or CV. Like social media，there，we usually only see our friends“highlight part”. When we look at othersresumes，we get scared and think how ours doesnt measure up. But even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind themwe just dont see it.Stefan felt this deeply as a scientist，so she

29、 wrote a different CV which of course boasted (夸耀)about her good grades，PhD，and published papers. But the way she deals with her failure CV is a model of what we could a11 do.“My CV does not reflect my great academic effortsit does not mention the exams I failed，my unsuccessful PhD or scholarship ap

30、plications，or the papers never accepted for publication. During the interviews，I talk about the one project that worked，not about the many that failed，”writes Stefan in a column for N.Stefan suggests keeping a draft on which you log，casually but regularly，every unsuccessful application，refused grant

31、 proposal and rejected paper.And thats the point：not to consider what we got wrong，but to use that information to both look at failure and realize its really okay，and also to use our failures for another purpose：as learning tools.The point is to be realwith ourselves and about how the world works. B

32、eing real means taking an honest，critical，but also kind look at what we didnt get right，and then doing our best to change what we can. Instead of focusing on how that failure makes you feel，take the time to step back and analyze the practical，operational reasons that you failed.So，prctice being okay with failure，and turning your failures into lessons learned. And yes，sometimes we have to learn those lessons more than once，let
