Charles Dickens is considering the greatest English novelist of the Victorian era. So popular was he and his works appealed the simple and the experienced. The range, pity, and intelligence of his view of society enriched his novels and make him one of master in the 19th-century literature.

With unemployment levels at the highest since the Great Depression, many individuals don’t have the privilege of working, and those do feel nervous about how long they’ll have that opportunity. If you fall into the latter category, 1.The following suggestions are concrete steps you can focus on right now to increase your success in your job during this special time and demonstrating your value while working remotely.
Do your work
2. But especially in times where businesses and organizations are having to make hard decisions about who to keep, doing your work — and doing your work well — is necessary.
Tell others
I don’t recommend that you give yourself a shout out at every single meeting. But if you have accomplished something important, share it. That could look like covering a few highlights of your work with your boss each week, either in your one-on-one or through email. 3. And this gives you increased visibility across the organization as people understand the role that you fill and the value you add.
4.
Although you don’t want to overload yourself with extra work, look for ways to make your boss’s life easier. For instance, turn in your work early so your manager has extra time to review it before a meeting. These little things can help reduce the pressure on your boss.
Much of what happens with the job market and your particular job will be out of your hands. You can’t control what businesses are considered necessary or not. And there are many factors in place that determine the market demand for your work. However, if you follow pieces of advice above, 5.
A.Set your goal
B.Help your boss
C.I can appreciate your concern.
D.you’ll share your work with others.
E.Focus on what you did for your organization.
F.Getting your work done is always a good idea.
G.you’ll make a positive impression in the process.
Scientists believe they could bring the likes of dodos(渡渡鸟)back from the dead through cloning experiments in the near future which could see the flightless birds revived from their extinction.
The big bird, which was about a metre tall and weighed up to 18 kilograms, was native to Mauritius but became extinct in the 1600s, shortly after humans discovered the island. However, 400 years later, scientists now believe that they could bring the dodo back to life through cloning of some of its closest living relatives.
Scientists recently published a paper which identified the overall genomic structure of dinosaurs. The team achieved this by tracing the ancestors (祖先)of birds — the dinosaurs closest living relatives — to create the genomic structure. Researchers involved in the study say it is an emphatic ‘no’ when it comes to the possibility of ever being able to clone dinosaurs, but they do say that more recently extinct birds like the carrier pigeon and the dodo could be brought back due to the fact that they have such close living relatives.
University of Kent scientists Darren Griffin and Rebecca O’Connor wrote in an article for The Conversation: “We discovered that birds and most flightless dinosaurs had a lot of chromosomes (packages of DNA). Having so many allows animals to generate variation, the driver of natural selection.”
“However, though it is a long shot, it may be possible in future to use Jurassic Park technology to help avoid some of the harm that humans have caused. Mankind has seen the extinction of well-known avian dinosaurs such as the dodo and the passenger pigeon.”
“Recovery(恢复)of DNA that is a only few hundred years old from these birds is a far more realistic way. It may also be that eggs from closely related living species might just be good enough. In the right conditions we may be able to use them to resurrect some of these species from extinction.”
1.What can we learn about dodos?
A.They flew to Mauritius in the 1600s. B.They could be used to clone pigeons.
C.They would die out in the near future. D.They might be brought back to life soon.
2.How do scientists revive dodos?
A.They clone dodos’ closest living relatives. B.They trace those endangered birds closely.
C.They look for dinosaurs’ living conditions. D.They identify genomic structure of pigeons.
3.What does the underlined word “resurrect” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Learn. B.Protect.
C.Revive. D.Prevent.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Scientists Expect to Clone the Dodos. B.Scientists Find Close Living Relatives.
C.Dinosaurs Have Already Been Extinct. D.Some Species Have Been Discovered.
