18、ily Temple-Wood was 12 years old the first time she was bullied（欺负）online.They left ugly comments on her Wikipedia and Facebook pages about her looks that would make my mothers hair curl,says Temple-Wood,now 22 and in medical school.The reason?“I was a woman on the Internet.”she said.Over the years,

19、she considered how she might take revenge（复仇）.Then,as a freshman in college,it hit her: What do misogynists (men who hate women) hate mostshe asked herself.“Women who are productive!”Her solution: For every offensive comment she received,Temple-Wood would post a biography of a female scientist,and t

20、hus,in 2012,Wiki Project Women Scientists was born.She wrote about her heroes,like Barbara McClintock,who was awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine,and Caroline Still Anderson,one of the first African American women to become a physician in the United States,in the lat 1800s.With he

21、lp from other women,many of them scientists who have also been victimized online,Temple-Wood has published hundreds of these brief biographies and women of all ages have taken notice.“When I was a kid,I could count the number of women scientists I was aware of on one hand,”wrote Siko Bouterse,former

22、ly of the Wikimedia Foundation.“But our daughters are going to have access to much more knowledge about scientists who are like them,thanks to Emily.”The ugly comments still come,says Temple-Wood.Being a strong woman online is not easy.We all have days where we break down and need to have a glass of

23、 wine,she says.“I tell people who are being bullied that its OK to be upset.But now you need to find a productive way to take revenge.28.How did Emily feel when she was first bullied online?A.Shocked. B.Disappointed C.Excited. D. Confident.29.How did Emily react to the ugly comments about her?A.She

24、paid no attention to them. B.She posted about great women.C.She became a talkative woman. D.She learned from women scientists.30.What does Emily Temple-Wood advise people to do?A.Sit down and have a glass of wine. B.Try hard to be a productive person,C.Never feel upset about ugly comments. D.Fight u

25、gly comments in a positive way.31.Which of the following best describe Emily?A. Productive B.Hard-working C.Brave D.Narrow-minded.DMost Americans see their pets as family members, surveys show. Those with dogs are more likely to call themselves pet “parents” than pet “owners”. There are more of thes

26、e parents than ever. In big cities such as San Francisco and Seattle, (owned ) dogs outnumber children.The ways in which companies are profiting from the trend are also multiplying. Kinds of dog food and various pet mattresses are always in hot sale. And it is not surprising that, for pets, American

27、s spent more than $400 million only on Halloween costumes this year. Overall, annual spending on pet food and products in America has risen by around 40% over the past ten years.Now a pack of startups have sniffed a fresh opportunity.Much as Airbnb has offered travelers an alternative(替换物）to staying

28、 in a hotel, two firms, Recover and DogVacay, want to give pet owners an alternative to kennels(养狗场）when away from home. The cost is around $30 a night, with the majority of that going to the sitter and around a fifth to the company-much less than you would spend to check your dog into a kennel.The

29、other big selling-point is that pets will receive better treatment. There are ways, apparently, to vet（审查）dog hosts to the real pet lovers: only around 15% of those who apply to serve as sitters are approved. Besides offering more attention and room, Rover has launched a feature that enables custome

30、rs to see how far their dog has been walked via the GPS in the hosts phone. Like Airbnb, both DogVacay and Recover insure stays against accidents.Another advantage of the model is that consumers often use dog-sitting services many times a year, and they tend to be loyal. That has helped DogVacay and

31、 Recover attract a lot of venture-capital money-around $140 million between them.But firms that connect pets with hosts will face great competition as they try to go global. Companies offering home-stays for dog rapidly appear in many different countries, including Australia, Brazil and Britain. And

32、 unlike Airbnb, which pulls in customers thanks to its presence in lots of markets that people want to travel to, the network effect for services like DogVacay is local.Despite having foreseen the trend early, such firms may never achieve the same scale as an Airbnb. But then no one ever said it was easy to be top dog.32. What do Rover and Dog Vacay do?A. They are firms selling pet food and products.B. They are agents helping startups with opportunities.C. T
