A mild-mannered cat by day, at night Rusty was just the opposite. Often, Bill and I would lie in bed quarreling over whether we should let it out to wander in the dark or put up with another sleepless ni
ght.
So, instead, we lay in the dark each noisy night and wondered what damage Rusty would do. And always in the morning, if I had forgotten to put the butter in the cupboard, there were marks from a rough, little tongue and once even a paw print.
Something had to give. Bill looked at me straight in the eyes, “Do it.” My rer vations were such, however, that it took me veral weeks and the loss of nearly a pound of butter to decide we didn’t have much choice.
That night, I put Rusty on his cat bed and patted him a little guiltily on the head. Then I began filling the kitchen sink with about two inches of water. Rusty loved jumping into a damp sink and then tracking water all over the cupboards and across the kitchen floor. According to the article I saved from a website to my folder, cats ud to jumping into your sink, but th ey won’t do it again if they jump in and find a couple of inches of water.
Next, I cleared the cupboards of everything. Then I got out all my metal cookie sheets and a fork to go with each. According to the article, you should support a cookie sheet with a fork. When your cat jumps on the counter, he will knock down the incurely balanced cookie sheets. What happens next go on
will stop him from doing it a cond time.
Everything in place, I slipped onto our bed quietly, waiting. Suddenly, there came an awfully loud noi of metal. A chain reaction of crashes next. Finally, Rusty rounded the corner in the hall heavily and leaped through our doorway onto the foot of our bed, trembling under our cover. And that was the night Rusty, the Midnight Troublemaker, retired.

The Tanzanian writer Abdulrazak Gurnah, who experience of crossing continents and cultures plays a vital role in his novels about the impact of migration(移居)on individuals and societies, won the 2021 Nobel Prize for Literature.
Born in 1948 on the island of Zanzibar, Abdulrazak Gurnah never considered the possibility that he might one day be a writer. ”It never occurred to me,“ he said in an interview. ”It wasn’t something you could say as you were growing up.” He assumed he woul d become “someone like an engineer.” In 1964, a violent uprising(暴动)forced Gurnah to flee to England. Unhappy, poor and homesick, he began to write down thoughts in his diary and then stories about other people. Tho writings as well as the habit of writing gave

In almost all of his works, Gurah has tried to uncover the way in which colonialism(殖民政策)has changed everything in the world, and people who are living through it are still processing that experience and so me of its wounds. “The thing that motivated the whole experience of writing for m
e was this idea of losing my place in the world,” he said.
Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, called him one of the world’s most extraordinary pos t-colonial writers. He said it was crucial that Gurnah’s roots are in Zanzibar, a place that had people from different countries, and was influenced by their cultures long before globalization.

When asked how technology might improve the lives of people with vision impairments(视力障碍) . Joann Becker, a vision impairments tech specialist, prented a misleadingly simple challenge, saying “I’d like to be able to find my bus stop through Be My Eyes”.
Be My Eyes, which went live in 2015, establishes a direct video connection between visually impaired urs and sighted volunteers. The assumption is simple: Many people who are blind don't need any actual assistance in completing their daily tasks, but merely need a little help.
A sighted volunteer might be asked to help identify which of two cans contains tomatoes. In this ca, the visually impaired ur can cook a meal just fine on his/her own- -all he/she needs is a quick confirmation that he/she has the correct can. The model appears to be working; more than 540.000 volunteers and nearly 40.000 people with low vision are registered on the app.
“An elderly woman can now help a visually impaired technician
t up his computer.” says founder Hans Wiberg, who has very low vision. “She doesn't need to know a thing about computers. She only needs to read what is prented on the screen. Then he can do the rest. ”
Early assistive technology centered on dedicated devices(专用设备), becau of the niche market(小众市场) , which sold for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. But the Smartphone, multipurpo and near-universal, has completely changed the economy of scale. “There are larger market forces driving high-powered computation, high-quality engineering and high-quality battery management in the smartphone market than tho in a specialty product.” says Aaron Stcinfeld, a rearch professor at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.
“The reality is most sighted people don't know somebody who is bind.” Becker says.” They think the solutions that a blind person needs are far more expansive. It turns out they need to be. “I think the apps are enabling sighted people to e that blind people just need some simple clues to help them do any number of things in their lives.”
12. What is the first paragraph ud for in the text?
A．Giving one example. B．Showing the main idea. C．Making a conclusion. D．Introducing the topic.
13. How does the app Be My Eyes work?
杰茜驾到A．By creating a video link between the visually disabled and sighted volunteers.
B．By recognizing which of two cans has tomatoes that can be cooked. C．By establishing high-quality engineering and computation.
D．By flashing the everyday tasks of the technician and volunteers.
14. What can we know from the text?
A．Slight assistance can help the blind free from some troubles. B．Volunteers should be very familiar with high-tech computers. C．Only people with low vision are registered to u the app.
