22266.（2016•新课标•ll卷）A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck（海难），by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled（雪橇） across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908，started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.

When he tells people that he is deaf，Oliver Stabbe is called a liar. "The idea that deaf people cannot speak is a very offensive assumption，" the sophomore（大二学生）said.Stabbe's experience speaks of many of the misunderstandings about deaf people and the struggles they face - things commonly found right in Rochester.This city is home to 90，000 deaf people，a significant slice of the more than 1.1 million national population.The percentage of deal people here is higher than the national average t due in part to RITs National Technical Institute for the Deaf，the first technological college in the world created specifically for the deaf and hard of hearing. "Really，there seems to be an embarrassment in communicating with deaf people，" said sophomore Stephen Davis，another deaf student.This awkwardness might arise because non-deaf people just don't know how to do so without possibly offending someone. "I guess they think saying 'deaf' is offensive，but it really isn't and deaf people don't get upset about it，" Davis said.He noted that the biggest issue he's had when communicating with other students is their anxiety about communicating.Deaf or hard-of-hearing students also face frustrations（令人心烦的事）on their end when interacting with others. "Sometimes people talk about you，maybe to a non-deaf friend standing beside me，as if I'm not there，" Davis said. "That's depressing." As Davis put it， "We don't see ourselves as the disabled，so the awkwardness is only one-sided." Stabbe advised that those communicating should not make assumptions about others' preferences or ability.If you have a question，ask.A moment of awkwardness is absolutely worth it if you are being educated about an important topic.
（1）Why are there more deaf people in Rochester？ A．Deaf people have some privileges here. B．Deaf people may get better job opportunities here. C．Deaf people meet fewer struggles here.

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 night. 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 reservations were such，however，that it took me several weeks and the loss of nearly a pound of butter to decide we didn't have much choice.

Everything in place，I slipped onto our bed quietly，waiting.Suddenly，there came an awfully loud noise 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.

You're often served by young people at restaurants.But Forget Me Not Cafe in Shanghai is different. The cafe has eight elderly employees with cognitive impairments （认知障碍） who take turns working with other waiters to help customers. They often provide basic services for guests，such as pouring water，serving and taking orders. "The guests are also very tolerant of us，because sometimes we make mistakes，" said Zhu Caiping，one of the elderly employees at the cafe. Sometimes，they are also invited to take part in welfare activities organized by volunteers，such as baking，dancing and learning English. "These activities are essential for me.They reactivate my brain，" the 73-year-old said. "What old people like us worry about most is that our brain stagnates （停滞） due to being inactive."

A 58-year-old woman from Jiangsu province，whose husband brings her to the restaurant，is an example. "When she came here for the first time，she barely said a word and was indifferent.I told her that she must communicate and gave her homework every time with rewards，" Zhu said. The woman has since come to the restaurant every Friday，and after several months，her condition has improved. "She started to comment that the food was 'delicious' and speak with others.Moreover，she began to hug me every time，" Zhu said.

On April 30，2020，the world's most famous musicians met online to celebrate the tenth International Jazz Day，with the hope to revive jazz music and explore its possibility as aunifying voice across cultures. Despite the celebrations，though，the jazz audience continues to grow older because the music has failed to attract the younger generations.It's their job to help change that. Jason Moran，the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz，was one of the musicians.He hopes to widen the audience for jazz and make the music more accessible and enjoyable. "Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite（胃口）." Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan. "I hope that the younger generations understand that jazz is not black anymore.It's actually colorful，and it's actually digital." Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the fun side of the music has been lost. "Today，the music can't be presented the way it was in 1908 or 1958.It has to continue to move，because the way the world works is not the same. "says Moran. Last year，Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party. "I just wanted to put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music." says Moran. "For me，it's just to re-contextualize.Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context.It can be adapted to（适应）different situations. " During the interview，he asked，"In music，where does the feeling lie？Are we，as humans，gaining any insight（感悟）on how to talk about ourselves and how a Fats Waller record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts？" He added that most of the musicians have recognized the need and agreed to continue those dialogues for the year.

I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province，on the historic Tea Horse Road.I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet，I was blown away.I couldn't imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world. Last May，I met Paul.He told me that it was his first time in China.He talked to me with great excitement about the history，migrations，and discoveries in my region of China.He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao（the Southern Silk Road），the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake，the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock.He also talked of Xuanzang.Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism. I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan.On September 28，2021，we set out.Our days were simple：walk，eat，sleep，and repeat.We woke up at sunrise，set off in high spirits，and rested at sunset，dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep. We met many people on the road.Some were curious，surrounding us and watching us；some gave us directions；some invited us into their home to take a rest；some spoke of the charm of their hometown.We met many beautiful souls，simple souls and warm souls.We were walking with our minds. Together，we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains.As I walked on ancient paths through mountains，I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road. Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul，I came to a realization.Walking for its own sake，while healthy and admirable，is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet.A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us，shortening the distance between each other，and sharing each other's cultures.
