2．One piece of advice I give young people is that they don't have to decide what they want to do for the rest of their life at age 22.Just think of all the jobs that didn't exist 10 years ago and what might exist 10 years from now.Just think how much the nursing field has changed over the years and how many opportunities and different paths nurses can take these days.
My oldest daughter is a nurse practitioner（从业者）.But she didn't start there when she went to college.She got her undergraduate degree in hotel and restaurant management with a minor（辅修课程） in business.On graduation day she looked at me and said，"Mom，I don't know what I'm going to do with my life that's meaningful."I looked at her and said，"Just get a job and then figure it out".
She struggled for a year or two after college with a couple of different jobs.Whenever she talked to me about becoming a nurse，I told her she'd be a great nurse—super organized，able to multi-task better than anyone I knew，with amazing people skills.But I also told her that she'd have to work very hard and study the sciences if she wanted to be a nurse.
She considered her choices and decided to participate in a combined nursing/nurse practitioner program getting her second bachelor's degree then her master's.Her nursing career since 2005 has progressed and she now has a mix of leadership，administrative，and clinical work.

3．When you see animals，do you wonder what they're thinking？Does the look on their face and how they behave indicate how they're feeling—or are they feeling nothing at all？
Humans have a complex range of emotions，but it's hard to tell what's going on inside the heads of animals，mainly because they can't orally express their feelings.Perhaps it's pets that we think we understand most—as they are the animals we spend a lot of time with and therefore get to know best.Some of us own dogs because they are good companions，are loyal and seem to connect with us.We might even think they love us，although love could just be a human emotion.Professor Kim Bard，an expert in comparative developmental psychology from the University of Portsmouth，said："We have a few studies now that actually show，scientifically…that some dogs will respond with empathetic（共情） concern when their owner—but not a stranger—pretends to cry." The empathetic ability of cats，however，is harder to work out.
Other wild animals might have feelings too.Giraffes and whales，for example，are known to experience sadness when someone in their group dies.Farm animals we often eat，such as cows and chickens，are also believed to experience pain，joy and other emotions.Their well-being is now taken into consideration more.It's believed even tiny creatures like insects might have emotions as well.Research is beginning to show they experience a wide range of feelings.
Dr Barbara J King，a professor at the College of William and Mary，said： "If we understand the depth of emotions animals can feel，this should make us question the existence of zoos around the world，and rethink those systems." It does seem all creatures feel emotion，but what is not clear is "do they feel the same way as us"？
（1）Why is it difficult to tell how animals are feeling？
A．They feel strange with people around.
B．They can't express their feelings in words.
C．Their emotions are complex.
D．Their empathetic ability is hard to work out.
（2）What does Kim Bard's study find about dogs？
A．They have empathetic ability.
B．They are less empathetic than cats.
C．They often pretend to cry.
D．They can understand us better than strangers.
（3）What message does Dr Barbara J King want to convey？
A．Zoos should exist in the world.
B．Animals can feel our emotions.
C．Animals should be free from the zoos.
D．Zoos are equipped with perfect systems.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．What Are Animals Thinking.
B．Do Animals Love Us.
C．Why Do Animals Feel the Same Way as Us.
D．Do Animals Have Emotions.组卷：1引用：1难度：0.5
