• 2．"Birds" and "airports" are two words that，paired together，don't normally paint the most harmonious picture.So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds.
     Described as the world's first-ever bird airport，the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary（保护区） in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is，of course，not an actual airport.Rather，it's a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds even thousands of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway.Over 50 species of migratory（迁徙的） water birds，some endangered，will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.
     Located on a former landfill site，the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers. （Half a million visitors are expected annually.） However，instead of duty-free shopping，the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin's newest airport will be a green-roofed education and research center，a series of raised "observation platforms" and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.
     "The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species，while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin." Adrian McGregor of an Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design.Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports，Tianjin is a city-China's fourth most populous-that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs.
  
  （1）What does the underlined phrase "non-egg-laying creatures" in Paragraph 3 refer to？

  
  A．Visitors.
  B．Designers.
  C．Endangered water birds.
  D．Planes.
  （2）What do we know about the airport according to the passage？

  
  A．People cannot watch birds up close here.
  B．It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.
  C．It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.
  D．It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.
  （3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？

  
  A．The airport will become a permanent home for birds.
  B．Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.
  C．Tianjin's air quality will improve thanks to the airport.
  D．Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.
  （4）What does this passage mainly tell us？

  
  A．Airports shut down and open up.
  B．China is to open the first bird airport.
  C．Airports turn into green lungs.
  D．Birds are no longer enemies to airports.

• 3．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 passed on 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（消失）.In the fourth year，we were introduced to surgery.I loved it.Stitching（缝）wounds was like a satisfying game of Tetris （俄罗斯方块），where all the pieces fit beautifully together to make something broken whole again.It solidified 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 （兽医）.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 panicked!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 （幸事） to have such experienced and dedicated individuals as a part of your support system.After a whole year of what felt like aimless wandering （徘徊），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 and lost!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）What do we know from the first two paragraphs？
