• 2．What do you want to be when you grow up？My answer has always been a vet.
     We didn't have pets growing up because my mother was scared of animals.She transferred（轉(zhuǎn)移）some of this fear to me.It's not common you find someone who's scared of animals but wants to be a vet.Still，I knew this is what I wanted.
     Vet school was nothing like I had imagined.Within the first few weeks，any fears I had about being a vet vanished.In the fourth year，we were introduced to surgery.I loved it.Stitching（縫）wounds was like a satisfying game of Tetris （俄羅斯方塊），where all the pieces fit beautifully together to make something broken whole again.It solidified （使堅固）my belief that this was the right fit for me.
     These were the most challenging and rewarding two years of my life，and before I knew it，they were over.I was officially a veterinary surgeon（獸醫(yī)）.Surprisingly，I felt empty after I finished.Why wasn't I excited to move on？I had completely forgotten to think about what comes next.I felt as if I had spent the last decade of my life writing exams and working crazy hours only to come out on the other side，completely clueless.
     There were so many options to choose from.I could start a clinic，work at another practice or even pursue further studies.It was my father who suggested I travel to gain some perspective.I hesitantly decided to spend some time in New Zealand with my aunt who also happens to be a vet.
     New Zealand was beautiful!I finally had a chance to think about what I wanted.One of the vets there allowed me to observe their practice.Working with vet nurses really stood out for me.We don't have vet nurses in India!It is a blessing to have such experienced and dedicated individuals as a part of your support system.After a whole year of what felt like aimless wandering，this experience helped me decide I wanted to work overseas.
     So，to all the other confused vets out there who haven't figured things out：It's completely okay to feel confused!Most people feel the same way at some point in their careers.Don't be afraid to try new things even if you feel difficult or impossible.
  
  （1）Why didn't the author consider raising a pet of her own before？

  
  A．Because she had been wounded by a pet.
  B．Because she was not interested in animals.
  C．Because her family couldn't afford to buy her one.
  D．Because her mother passed on her fear of animals to her.
  （2）What does the underlined word "vanished" in paragraph 3 probably mean？

• 3．The world's largest iceberg is floating toward South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean.Scientists fear the iceberg could crash into the island and block major feeding areas for a large population of penguins and seals.If the iceberg hits the island，it could prevent the penguins and seals from reaching food supplies.
     The huge iceberg is named A68 a.It broke away from Antarctica's Larsen C Ice Shelf in 2017.Satellite images show the iceberg has remained in one piece.It is estimated to be about 150 kilometers long and 48 kilometers wide.It is traveling at one kilometer per hour and is on a path to hit South Georgia in around 30 days.
     This is the time of year when seals and penguins spend a lot of time caring for their young.The distance that parents have to travel to find food is crucial.That means they have to go a lot further or go around the iceberg to find sources of food.
     Ecologists say an iceberg crash would also disturb materials settled on the seabed，possibly polluting the surrounding sejye.ai.As the iceberg melts，it would also release large amounts of fresh water into the ocean.This could affect krill（磷蝦）populations that are a major source of food for the island's wildlife.The iceberg could remain for up to 10 years and change the area's whole ecosystem.These are globally significant populations of these species.If these species fail in this particular area，then the numbers globally are going to go down quite dramatically.
     Professor Geraint Tarling，an ecologist at the British Antarctic Survey，said，"The breaking off of icebergs from Antarctica is a natural process.But the process is changing with climate change.What we're seeing with models and some observations now is that this is happening at an increasing rate.And so，this might become more of a usual thing in the future."
  
  （1）Why are the scientists worried about the coming iceberg crash？

  
  A．It will bring extremely cold weather.
  B．It will destroy the feeding areas of the animals.
  C．It will put wildlife on the island at risk of starving.
  D．It will prevent animals from moving to other places.
  （2）What is paragraph 2 mainly about？

  
  A．The characteristic of the iceberg.
  B．The importance of the iceberg.
  C．The traveling speed of the iceberg.
  D．The forming process of the iceberg.
  （3）What damage can an iceberg crash bring according to paragraph 4？

  
  A．Using up much fresh water.
  B．Polluting the surrounding farms.
  C．Changing the world's ecosystem.
  D．Affecting the number of certain species.
  （4）How does Tarling think of the breaking off of icebergs from Antarctica？

  
  A．It may slow down in the near future.
  B．It may become common in the future.
  C．It has a great influence on the climate.
  D．It helps scientists conduct a sea study.
