Jason looked out the window of the school bus.Normally,he liked to count the number of dogs he saw on the way to school.They always looked so happy on their morning walks.But today was different.
Jason had a test.
Jason had never taken a test before. He had heard about them, but tests were for big kids.Though now that he was in second grade,his teacher announced that the whole class would take a spelling test.She stood in front of the whole class and told everyone at once in a loud,clear voice.She explained that to do well on the test,the students would have to memorize their spelling words and rewrite them without any mistakes.
This made Jason feel very nervous.What would happen if he made a mistake? He was pretty good at spelling,but sometimes words sounded different than they looked.He practiced all of the words five times each last night.He hoped it was enough.
When Jason got to school,he didn't feel well.His stomach hurt.Jason went straight to the nurse's office,but the nurse told Jason that he wasn't sick.
“Sometimes when you're nervous or scared, it can make your tummy hurt,” the nurse said. “Try taking some deep breaths to relax.And good luck on your test!” And with that,the school nurse sent Jason to class.
“Oh,good!”Jason's teacher said when he walked in the door."I'm glad you're here.We were just about to start the test."She handed Jason a piece of paper.It was numbered one to ten,but had no other writing on it.
Jason put his name at the top like he always did.Then the teacher said"Number one:friend."The students were supposed to spell the word"friend”in the first blank space.Jason did his best.

Tips on Handling Rejection in Your Career
I have experienced many noes in my life. And yet, the noes haven't held me back. 1.Whenever I get a no, I view it as an invitation-to explore new ways to cooperate, perhaps at another time.
Most importantly, noes encourage my persistence(坚持不懈). 2.
Don't take the no personally. It's just business. Don't allow yourself to feel useless because someone rejects your application or says that they don't see an opportunity to work with you. As far as I'm concerned, it may have been a case of bad timing.
Don't shy away from being persistent. Persistence in the face of challenges, failures, and unexpected situations is the mark of a good employee.3.This extra effort may even get you noticed as displaying a valuable quality.
Be respectful. You won't get anywhere if you respond to a rejection with a hurt or bitter response. Honor the other person. Even if the final response is no, let the other party know you are still interested in working with them should an opportunity arise.
Be aware of cultural standards. Keep in mind that cultural standards regarding persistence vary. In some countries, it's perfectly OK to email someone twice a month to keep in touch with them.4.So, study up on the culture in which you want to take part and respect its rules.
I will continue to receive noes throughout my life. But I'm not afraid of them. 5.For me, that's been an important part of my career advancement and professional development.
A.Instead, they've served as an inspiration to me.
B.I've built up my resistance to noes by being persistent.
C.However, constant phone calls are improper sometimes.
D.There's nothing wrong with a follow-up email or phone call.
E.On the contrary, people might consider it polite and favorable.
F.But that might be seen as rude and invasive in other countries.
G.To be persistent in the face of noes, I'd like to share a few rules.
COVID-19(新冠病毒) is a threat to the very people fighting it-nurses, doctors, and other first responders, who are exposed to infected patients. Now, a team has developed two devices(设备) that could reduce their risks by sucking away infectious bacteria: a helmet to be worn by a patient,and a small tent in which a patient could be protected. The inventors hope they'll reduce the deaths among healthcare workers.
Negative-pressure rooms have been used in hospitals since the 1980s to keep airborne bacteria from spreading.But Nathan Haas says such rooms cost about$12,000. He and his colleagues wanted to develop a cheaper way to create a negative pressure environment for patients.The new devices could lower the need for negative-pressure rooms,which are rare in many parts of the world,according to Haas.
The helmet can be used when staff transport patients and the tent can protect the upper body of a bed-bound patient wearing a mask,allowing staff to perform several procedures.
“They represent a really simple solution to potentially helping reduce virus spread and increase the safety of healthcare workers, as well as patient safety,” says Ben Bassin.
When the researchers tested their devices with a healthy volunteer,they saw 97% to 99%fewer bacteria outside the devices than inside.They also tested the devices' ease of use and comfort with seven COVID-19 patients.The response from patients and staff was good, Bassin says.
But Reuben Strayer notes the tests did not prove that these devices work to protect medical staff in real-life situations. He says he wants to see independent effect, “to see if they perform as they are advertised.”
1.The following statements are true EXCEPT
A.The devices are not complicated to use
B.People have already used the devices widely
C.The effect of the devices remains to be seen
D.Negative-pressure rooms are not common because of the high cost
2.What will most probably be discussed in the following paragraph?
A.The advantages of the devices. B.Different appearances of the devices.
C.Measures to put the devices into practice. D.The reasons for inventing the devices.
3.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To inform readers of the devices. B.To praise the efforts of the researchers.
C.To stress the importance of the devices. D.To encourage people to buy the devices.
