18、cke, who owns a roofing and construction company in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, had always been wanting to repair the roof of Jeanette MacDonalds home. Whenever he drove past the womans home, he assumed that the roof was under repair because the job had already been taken on by another group of repairme
19、nbut as the weeks wore on, the roof continued to worsen without any signs of repair.

Unfortunately, MacDonald never received the approval. A

26、 to get through a checkout line, I found my thoughts on speed, nothing more. The line I was standing in wasnt moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier, who was busy receiving money from customers. He was an old man in his sixties. I thought, well, it probably took him a little
27、 longer to get the jobs done. For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before he began scanning the goods they were purchasing. Sure, his words were the usual, Hows it going? But he did something differenthe actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had
28、 said and talk with them briefly. I thought it was strange, but I guessed I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a conversation without thinking. Usually, after a while, you dont give any thought to the question and just say something back quietly. This old cashier
29、seemed sincere about wanting to know how people were feeling. Meanwhile, the high-tech cash register rang up their purchases and he announced what they owed. When customers handed money to him, he pushed the appropriate keys, the cash drawer popped open, and he counted out their change. Then magic h
30、appened. He placed the change in his left hand, walked around the counter to the customers, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. As their hands met, the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes. I want to thank you for shopping here today, he told them. You have a great day. Bye-
31、bye. The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. Now it was my turn. I glanced down at the name tag on his red waistcoat, the kind experienced Wal-Mart cashier wore. It read, “Marty.” Marty told me how much I owed and I handed him some money. The next thing I knew he was standing beside
32、me, offering his right hand and holding my change in his left hand. His kind eyes locked onto mine. Smiling, and with a firm handshake. 28. While the author stood in the checkout line, she felt . A. comfortable B. enthusiastic . C. impatient D. embarrassed 29. In the opinion of the author, people te

35、s dissatisfied with such a waste of time. D The coronavirus pandemic（冠状病毒流行病）is a terrible crisis, of course. But it also presents an opportunity to change the way that research is conducted and shared. The way that researchers respond to COVED-19 right now can serve as a blueprint for that future.
36、Scientists publishing data, ideas and information relating to the coronavirus pandemic on ResearchGate, a professional network that advocates open research, push against the old patterns of scientific culture. Researchers are far more likely to post early stage research on the websites than weve tra
37、ditionally seen in other industries. Were seeing people publish shorter, briefer content, and more figures. Its really exciting to see researchers upload more and more preprints（预印本）.The urgency of this crisis encourages the global community of researchers to share more freely and work across indust
38、ries, even as borders remain closed. The way that research is confirmed and shared hasnt changed much over the past decades, or perhaps the last century. We still rely on mysterious systems of peer review（同行评审）and the in- person conference is still a main means of knowledge exchange. The COVED-19 cr
39、isis is challenging both: one reason is that it is too slow （it can take six to nine months for a scientists primary results to be peer-reviewed and appear in a journal）, and the other, it is no longer safe. We need to try new ways to do things, in real time, and the ideas that work in this time of
40、crisis will serve us well in the future. At ResearchgGate, we constantly work to improve scientific productivity to enable much-needed breakthroughs. This crisis encourages us to do our best to support researchers in becoming more efficient and more open. We need to connect with all the actors in sc
41、ience to further this change: funders, publishers, institutions and even nations need to come together and reimagine what science could be and how it could drive the development of better societies. The future of science is surely international, interdisciplinary （跨学科的）and open. Through the COVID-19
42、. efforts from some organizations stand out as leading the way, in bringing national donors, charities and companies together to solve problems. There are also many examples of interdisciplinary and international cooperation that give us hope for advancing a new culture of science. ResearchGates own
43、 COVLD-19 community page is designed to encourage interdisciplinary cooperation during the coronavirus pandemic. The tools that we develop through the COVID-19 crisis must equip us to work together across borders to face future crises. Our collective （共同的）actions in the face of climate change, for i
44、nstance, have been inadequate so far. Lets use this crisis to learn how to make science better, and lets continue these efforts beyond the crisis, together. This moment is an opportunity to pave new paths that well follow tomorrow. 32. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A Scientists often publish u
45、nfinished reports B. Scientists have worked across borders during the crisis. C Scientists share their research results more freely now D.
