The Shop Where It’s OK to Be Different
When Angela Makey knew her autistic (患自闭症的) son Adam wanted to open a comic shop, she laughed out loud. She knew he’d been keen on comics since childhood. But how would he deal with customers and suppliers and all the other jobs (21) are necessary for running a business?
At that time, Adam was looking for a job. He had a degree in philosophy and had learned to live independently, but there didn’t seem to be any suitable jobs for him. The family (22) (hope) he and his younger brother Guy, also with autism, could find work that matched their strengths: reliability, punctuality and attention to detail. But there were no available opportunities.
So the “laughable” comic shop idea began to grow on Angela. Eventually, she used her savings to buy a shop in Cambridgeshire, and seven years ago Niche Comics (23) (bear).
Like many autistic people, Adam loves comics for their world of rich detail and visual expression. He developed an interest in Marvel comic heroes on TV (24) he was seven years old. “They are a reminder (25) it’s OK not to be like everyone else,” Adam said. He’s now 30, and comics and their heroes are still part of his life.
In the comic shop, the brothers share their encyclopedic (渊博的) knowledge of comics with customers. The brothers act as guides in this universe, (26) (introduce) customers to new comics.
The shop attracts many autistic customers. And being autistic (27) turns out to be a big help for the brothers to deal with customers. They are good at (28) (spot) the
customers’ needs and feelings. “Maybe it’s the tone of the voice, the motion of a hand — small details that most people won’t pick up on — that I might have insight (深刻理解) into,” says Guy. Of course, the majority of customers who come to the shop are not autistic. Now the brothers get a steady stream of customers who are, both male and female, (29) young children to retired people. Once the shop had established itself, the brothers also began reaching
out to people with autism beyond the shop.
Seven years on, Angela is glad she took the risk of helping her sons (30) (create) their dream shop. “This shop has a soul,” the mother says proudly.

New E-Commerce Law Takes Effect
China’s new e-commerce law, which was passed last August, took effect on January 1. The law comes amid the rapid development of China into the world’s largest e-commerce market.
The law aims to regulate the market and create a sound (31) environment. It covers the requirement for registration and licensing of e-commerce operators, taxation, electronic payment, etc. It also (32) other important aspects of e-commerce, including false advertising, consumer protection, data protection, intellectual property and cybersecurity.
The new law will apply to three types of operators. These include e-commerce (33) operators like Taobao, third-party merchants who sell goods and services on e-commerce platforms, and online vendors ( 供应商 ) who do business via other network (34) , such as social media sites. It means that merchants who sell goods through non-traditional e-commerce platforms, such as WeChat, will fall under the new law. These sellers will now need to finish their business registration and pay (35) taxes.
The law will make all e-commerce platform operators (36) responsible with the merchants for selling any fake or knock-off goods on their websites. Before the law took effect, individual merchants were solely responsible when caught selling liable (负有偿付责任的) goods.
The implementation of the law may bring (37) on online retail (零售) companies and merchants selling goods through social media sites. Many private shopping agents (known as daigou) are considering whether to continue the service under the new policy since it will increase the management cost and lead to a rise in the product price.
But the new law does not aim to (38) small to medium sized online retailer. Instead, it helps lay the legal foundation for the growth of the e-commerce business industry, (39) order in the market and further promotes its growth.
Besides, the law will help clean up China’s reputation as a (40) source of fake or knock-off goods. In the long term, consumers will benefit from it.

How Saving Wildlife Benefits Humans
It’s no secret that we’ve lost an ov erwhelming number of species within that last four decades. These species have all but 41 due to overpopulation, deforestation, consumer culture, climate change, animal exploitation, and other harming sources — all brought about by mankind.
One of the first great rules of terrestrial (陆地的) biology is “no species is forever.” 42 ,
this rapid loss of species today is estimated to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate. As increasingly accepted theories have argued, we are now in the midst of the sixth great 43 .
The Earth consists of plants, animals, water, land, the atmosphere, and humans. Biodiversity (生物多样性) 44 the health of the planet and has a great impact on all our lives. Reduced biodiversity means a future where food supplies are vulnerable (易受攻击的) to pests and disease, and fresh water is in short supply. If biodiversity 45 impacts our lives in such big ways, then our conservation (环保) efforts don’t just benefit the environment, they benefit us, too.
One convincing benefit that comes from wildlife conservation efforts is that it ensures food
46 . Wildlife conservation promotes agricultural biodiversity, which plays an important role in building a secure and healthy food system. When agricultural biodiversity is 47 and land is cleared for agriculture, extensive habitat loss takes place, as well as undocumented loss of species and massive soil erosion (侵蚀).
Another benefit that comes from wildlife conservation is that these 48 protect human health. Conservation International reports that “more than 50 percent of modern medicines and more than 90 percent of traditional medicines come from wild plants an d animals.”49 , a world that promotes healthy ecosystems and biodiversity provides crucial buffers (缓冲) between disease and humans. A number of studies have 50 reduced diversity among mammal (哺乳动物 ) species and overall decreases in biodiversity to an increase in the transmission ( 传播) of animal-born diseases to humans.
Perhaps the most convincing benefit that comes from wildlife conservation is that it provides us with 51 , whether it be economically or socially. Increasing biodiversity and healthy ecosystems improve agricultural productivity, thereby allowing farms to become more 52 . Healthy ecosystems that are h
ome to unique species 53 tourists from around the world, which helps the local economy and invites in a new fusion of investment.
Our unsustainable, unconscious, self-interested relationship with the environment has led us into an extremely destructible world. If we do not take action and 54 changing our ways, we are at risk of losing more vital and 55 ecosystems and biodiversity, or at least until the sixth great extinction claims one final species: our own.
