A 15－year－old Colorado high school student and young scientist who has used
artificial intelligence (AI) and created apps to address polluted drinking water and
other social problems has been named Time magazine’s first－ever “Kid of the Year”．
Rao told The Associated Press in an interview from her home that the prize is
“nothing that I could have ever imagined.And I’m so grateful and just so excited that
we’re really taking a look at the upcoming generation and our generation，since the
future is in our hands.”
Time said Rao stood out for creating a global community of young innovators and
inspiring them to pursue their goals.Rao insisted that starting out small doesn’t matter，as long as you’re passionate about it.
She told Time contributing editor Angelina Jolie in an interview that her science
pursuits started early as a way to improve social conditions.The drinking water crisis in
Flint，Michigan，inspired her to develop a way to detect pollutants and send those
results to a mobile phone，she said.
“I was like 10 when I told my parents that I wanted to research carbon nanotube (纳
米管) sensor technology at the Denver Water quality research lab，and my mum was
like，‘A what？’”Rao told Jolie.She said that work “is going to be in our
generation’s hands pretty soon.So if no one else is gonna do it，I’m gonna do it.”
In a world where science is increasingly questioned or challenged，Rao insisted that its
pursuit is an act of kindness，the best way that a younger generation can better the
world.
“We have science in everything we’re involved in，and I think that’s the biggest thing
to put out there，that science is cool，innovating is cool，and anybody can be an
innovator，”Rao said.“Anybody can do science.”

Global health experts say that each year some of the 1.5 million people die from
vaccine－preventable diseases due to gaping holes in medical record－keeping，
especially in developing countries where resources to properly document
immunizations (免疫注射) may be lacking.
To solve that__problem，researchers headed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) have invented a way to deliver vaccines through a microneedle
patch (小片) that is buried in the skin.It’s a record that can’t be seen，written in
quantum dots that contain vaccination history and give off light only readable by a
specially equipped smartphone.The scientists say it doesn’t require any link to a
database and it doesn’t tie any personal information into it.
For now，the patch can only contain a handful of simple shapes.But adding more
microneedles could make the designs more complex ， potentially conveying
information about a vaccination’s date，dosage and more.From there，reading the dots
becomes a lot like scanning a QR code.These designs could be scanned and interpreted
by smartphones ， and someday allow health providers to access patients’ past
vaccinations without chaos of external records.
The next step，before trials in people，is to test its practicability among experts in the
field.The researchers now plan to work with health care workers in developing nations
in Africa to get input on the best way to carry out this type of vaccination record－
keeping.
“Ultimately，we believe that this invisible ‘on－body’ technology opens up new
possibilities for data storage and biosensing ( 生物传感) applications that could
influence the way medical care is provided，especially in the developing world，”the
researchers conclude.
8．What do the underlined words “that problem” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Few medical resources.
B．Wrong ways to deliver vaccines.
C．Lack of vaccination record－keeping.
D．The fact that no vaccinations are required in developing countries.
9．What can we learn about quantum dots?
A．They keep a record of the vaccination.
B．They need to be connected to a database.
C．They give away one’s personal information.
D．They can read light produced by smartphones.
10．How will health providers access patients’ past vaccinations?
A．By reading the QR code.
B．By scanning the design.
C．By interpreting external records.
D．By increasing microneedles.
11．What do the researchers expect of the new technology?
A．It will be cost－saving.
B．It will hit the market soon.
C．It may ensure the accuracy of data.
D．It may bring changes to medical care.

A joint research team recently have developed a new electronic skin that is similar to
human skin in strength，durability (耐久性) and sensitivity.The skin or e－skin may
play an important role in next－generation personalized medicine，soft robotics and
artificial intelligence.
“The ideal e－skin will mimic the many natural functions of human skin，such as
sensing temperature and the touch ，accurately and in real time ，”says leading
researcher Yichen Cai.However，making suitably flexible electronics that can perform
such delicate tasks while also used repeatedly is challenging ，and each material
involved must be carefully engineered.Most e－skins are made by putting an active sensor on the surface that attaches to
human skin.However，the connection between them is often too weak，which reduces
the durability and sensitivity of the material；otherwise，if it is too strong，it won’t be
flexible enough，making it more likely to break the circuit.
“The landscape of skin electronics keeps shifting at a remarkable pace ，”says
Cai.“The discovery of 2D sensors has accelerated efforts to turn these quite thin but
strong materials into functional，durable artificial skins.”
The new man －made skin built by the researchers could sense objects from 20
centimeters away.It could further make a quick response when touched in less than one
tenth of a second.“It is a striking achievement for an e－skin to maintain toughness
after repeated use，”said Jie Shen，“which mimics the softness and rapid recovery of
human skin.”
This type of e－skin could monitor a range of biological information，such as changes
in blood pressure，which can be detected from movements of arms and legs.This data
can then be shared and stored on the cloud via Wi－Fi.
“One remaining problem to the widespread use of e－skins lies in mass production of
high－resolution sensors，”adds group leader Vincent Tung.“However，the latest
technology offers new promise.”
12．What’s the feature of the new e－skin?
A．It can store information.
B．It’s quite hard and tough.
C．It’s flexible and sensitive.
D．It can replace human skin.
13．Why does the author mention “Most e－skins”in Paragraph 3?
A．To stress the challenges of making e－skin.
B．To introduce the popularity of e－skins.
C．To show the process of making e－skins.
D．To compare the similarities between e－skins.
14．What can the new e－skin do?
A．Adjust the blood pressure.B．Recover the wounded skin.
C．Work as a remote controller.
D．Sense the outside temperature.
15．What is the best title for the text?
A．A Breakthrough in High Technology
B．Man－made Skin Improved
C．E－skin，a Promising Business
D．The Widespread Use of E－skin

Shopping is good for your health.It’s official! We all know shopping is torturing men，
who painfully stand behind their girlfriends or wives until they are done with their
shopping，and affecting the bank balance.__1__
The next time you go to a mall，and just observe the ladies there，you will see all
of them in the best of their moods.Studies confirm it as a form of cure.Come on，let’s
face it.When we go shopping，we feel good about ourselves and the place.__2__And it
literally is a way to release stress for most women.Shopping releases hormones which
are responsible for lifting your moods and therefore good for your mental health.
Cancel your activities，your diet plans and all those trips to the gym.Scientists have
found that women spend an average of 4 hours on shopping during a week.__3__
Although most women do not realize or look at it as a formal form of exercise，it is
definitely an effective form of exercise and it requires less motivation.
Some studies have led to the conclusion that shopping is one of the best ways to fight
depression.A woman tends to be so absorbed in shopping that she can shop for hours
without eating or getting tired.That is exactly the reason why girls usually spend hours
shopping after a terrible break － up.__4__ Therefore ， shopping helps overcome
depression.Moreover，it is good to reward yourself occasionally with all those things
you fancy.__5__
A．It is the simplest way to raise our self－worth.
B．Smart shopping can also save money and energy.C．Feeling unhappy，you may think about other things instead of shopping.
D．So，the next time you are depressed about something，you know what to do.
E．They walk more than 20 miles per week，using up nearly 600 calories.
F．But we may ignore that shopping can help improve your mental and physical health.
G．It is something that makes them happy and helps them forget their worries and

The new year always brings predictions.You know who gets them right?
BLUETOOTH
In his futuristic 1953 novel Fahrenheit 451，Ray Bradbury anticipated Bluetooth，
describing wireless earphones that allowed for “an electronic ocean of sound，music
and talks” to be transferred through the air.Imagine how thrilled he would have been
with a Bluetooth toaster！That was the idea behind Griffin’s Connected Toaster，which
warned you via your smartphone when your toast was done.At $100，this baby cost a
lot of bread，which may be why it was discontinued just two years after being
launched.
SMART WATCH
The Apple Watch lets you chat，play games，and watch videos on a device fastened to
your wrist.Cool，huh？The Jetsons thought so...in 1962—when Steve Jobs was still in
second grade!
WI－FI
Nikola Tesla called it！In 1909，the famous electrical engineer told The Ne York
w
Times，“It will soon be possible to send wireless messages all over the world so
simply that any individual can carry and operate his own equipment.”No doubt he was
thinking of the Kérastase Hair Coach brush，which measured brushing speed and
employed a microphone to listen to your hair，all to compute an overall hair－quality
score sent to your smartphone.(Alas，it is gone too.)
GPS
Writer Arthur C．Clarke (2001：A Space Odyssey)saw a world in which no one got
lost.In 1956，he wrote that satellites could make possible a position－finding grid (坐标方格) whereby anyone could locate himself by means of a couple of dials on an
instrument about the size of a watch.Clarke didn’t mention that his system might also
track another person，such as a criminal.Last year，the New York City police arrested a
robber who was wearing a GPS ankle monitor—because he was still on probation (缓
刑) for a prior crime.
1．Which of the predictions is the earliest?
A．BLUETOOTH. B．SMART WATCH.
C．WI－FI. D．GPS.
2．Why might Griffin’s Connected Toaster disappear?
A．Too expensive. B．Out of date.
C．A little awkward D．Energy－consuming.
3．What was Clarke’s prediction?
A．A GPS ankle monitor.
B．A robber－arresting instrument.
C．A watch that could see the world.
D．An instrument that could locate a person.

My husband jokes with me that my midlife crisis was having my now 11－year－old
daughter in my 40s.
I started my career as Associate Editor at Woman’s World magazine in the late
1990s.Then I was a magazine editor－in－chief of five national consumer publications
and also contributed to magazines like Longe ity and Ne Woman.
v w
Four years after getting married in 2005，I eventually gave birth to my daughter，
Crystal.As I wrote on Parenting.com：“As the doctor checked her vital organs and my
husband counted her 10 perfect fingers and toes，I realized that my body had produced
a wonder.”
While my peers were dealing with the stresses of kids in school，I focused my creative
energy on carving out my new identity.I was excited when I was offered a “Mom’sTalk” column where I wrote about toys，breastfeeding，and my ongoing pursuit of
“baby－free” time.
When Crystal was 3 years old，I wrote an essay about watching her dance at a toddler
(学步的儿童) reading group in the library，instead of sitting down with the other
children.I expected her performance to annoy people，but her joyful dancing attracted
them and made me consider my own possibilities.
“Had I ever been that way，I wondered.If so，could I be like that again？Could I
become as free as a child with her whole life ahead of her，ready and willing to be the
star of her own production？”
As my daughter transformed from a toddler into a young girl，she continued to be my
inspiration.I wrote about the new rules for babysitting and shared research showing
that fathers who participated in housework had a positive impact on their daughter’s
future success on The Washington Post.
I focused on providing Crystal with resilience－building when she neared her teens.I
wrote about powerful phrases on The Week，like “no one is the judge of your self－
worth”．
As my daughter continues to grow during this messy time，there is one certainty：I will
continue to tell my stories，through my midlife wisdom.I can’t wait to see her next
chapter—and for you to read mine.
4．How did the author feel when giving birth to her daughter?
A．Frightened. B．Pleased.
C．Puzzled. D．Disappointed.
5．In terms of being a parent，the author differed from her peers in that ________．
A．she had to deal with more stresses from being a mom
B．she left all the babysitting work to her husband
C．she combined the new identity with her career
D．she adopted a creative method of raising her baby
6．What did Crystal’s performance in the library make the author think about?
A．Living the same free life as her daughter’s.
B．Giving performance in front of a crowd.C．Her previous life before having the baby.
D．Pure pleasure during “baby－free”time.
7．Why does the author consider Crystal as her inspiration?
A．Crystal has inspired her to take a writing career.
B．She has started writing in the tone of Crystal.
C．Her writing keeps developing as Crystal grows.
D．Many of her stories are centered on her daughter.

We often hear that 60 is the new 50.Just check out the images of your grandparents or
great－grandparents and notice their stooped (曲背的) bodies，their wrinkled faces
when they were barely pushing 60.What a contrast with energetic，gym－going
sexagenarians (六十几岁的人) of today!
The research overseen by gerontologist (老年学专家) Taina Rantanen，compared
adults born in 1910 and 1914 with those born roughly 30 years later.Both birth groups
were examined in person at age 60 and again at 70 with the same set of six physical
tests and five measures of cognition.
According to the research，the later－born group could walk faster，had a stronger
hand grasp and could use more force with their lower legs.On cognitive tests，the later
－born group had better verbal fluency，and scored higher on a test matching numbers
to symbols.But not everything changed across the generations ：measures of lung
function were surprisingly not changing，and there was no improvement in the short－
term memory task of recalling a series of digits.
There are many reasons why people are aging better，including improved medical care
and a drop in smoking，but the key factor shown in the study of physical function was
that the later－born adults were more physically active and had bigger bodies，which
suggested better nutrition.For brain function，the key seemed to be more years of
education.
“Education is a powerful influence on aging and health，”says Luigi Ferrucci，
scientific director of the U．S.National Institute on Aging.“With more education，youare probably going to have a larger income，which means you are more likely to go to
the doctor，and have good nutrition.”He also points out that the average lifespan is
seven years shorter in a poor state such as Mississippi than in a wealthier one such as
California.“Here we still have lots of people who cannot take the drugs they need
because they cannot pay for them，”he says.In short，60 may be the new 50 for many
of us but not for all.
8．How does the writer begin the passage?
A．By imagining a scene.
B．By making a comparison.
C．By raising a question.
D．By presenting an image.
9．Which of the following is TRUE about the research?
A．Not everything changed across the generations.
B．The later－born group could hardly grasp things tightly.
C．The later－born group did worse in matching numbers to symbols.
D．There was a little improvement in short－term memory in both groups.
10．According to the research，what contributes most to better physical aging?
A．Improved medical care. B．Education.

Chemical engineers at UNSW Sydney have found a way to make “green” ammonia
(氨) from air，water and renewable electricity.In a paper published in Energy &
En ironmental Science，the authors say that ammonia synthesis (合成) was one of the
vcritical achievements of the 20th century.When used in fertilisers that significantly
increase the output of food crops，it could enable agriculture to sustain an ever－
expanding global population.
But since the beginning of the 1900s when it was first employed，production of
ammonia has been energy－intensive—requiring temperatures higher than 400 ℃ and
pressures greater than 200 atm—and all powered by fossil fuels.Dr.Emma Lovell，a co
－author of the paper from UNSW，says the traditional way to make ammonia，known
as the Haber－Bosch process，is only cost－effective when it is produced on a massive
scale due to the huge amounts of energy and expensive materials required and that it
produces more CO than any other chemical－making reaction.
2
“In addition to the big carbon footprint left by the Haber－Bosch process，having to
produce millions of tonnes of ammonia in centralized locations means even more
energy is required to transport it around the world，not to mention the risks that go with
storing large amounts of it in one place，”says Dr.Lovell.“And we saw tragically in
Beirut how potentially dangerous storing ammonium nitrate (硝酸铵) can be.”
Dr.Lovell and her colleagues therefore looked at how to produce it cheaply，on a
smaller scale and using renewable energy.Their new production method does not rely
on fossil fuel resources，and doesn’t give off CO either.
2
“And once it becomes available commercially，the technology could be used to
produce ammonia directly on site and on demand—farmers could even do this on site
using our technology to make fertilisers—which means we negate the need for storage
and transport.There’s a huge benefit to society as well as the health of the
planet，”Dr.Lovell says.
12．What do we know about the Haber－Bosch process?
A．It does harm to the environment.
B．It requires green materials.
C．It uses less energy and is cheap.
D．It transforms fossil fuels into ammonia.
13．Why is the city Beirut mentioned in the text?
A．To remind people to protect the environment.B．To give an example of the risk in ammonia storage.
C．To convince farmers to transport ammonia elsewhere.
D．To stress the choice of a proper centralized location.
14．What does the underlined word “negate” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A．Inspect. B．Avoid.
C．Suit. D．Accept.
15．What is the purpose of this text?
A．To solve a problem. B．To explain a process.
C．To advocate a theory. D．To introduce a method.

Exercising regularly not only helps you keep slim，but also improves your overall
health and well－being.Different exercises produce different results，as they focus on
different parts of the body.There are four broad exercise categories：endurance，
strength，flexibility，and balance.Many people often only focus on one exercise type，
but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk
of injury.
Endurance
Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate.By doing endurance
exercises，you are working to keep your heart，lungs，and blood－flow system healthy
while improving your total fitness.Over time these activities will make everyday
activities seem easier.
Strength
If you want to build up your muscles，then strength exercises，which are also known as
“resistance training”，are right for you.Even the slightest increase in strength can make
a huge difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks.Developing strong muscles
also reduces your risk of weak bones.
Flexibility
Flexibility exercises help stretch your body’s muscles.This allows for more freedom of
movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion，posture，
ability to breathe deeply，and blood flow.Also，it reduces the muscle tension caused by
stress.
BalanceBalance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults，
helping them stay independent.Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you
constantly moving with your feet on the ground.Heel－to－toe walking and standing
on one foot are simple ways to improve balance.
1．How can a person benefit most from their exercise routine?
A．By combining different exercise types together.
B．By having sufficient rest between their workouts.

Not so long ago therapy (心理治疗) was limited to an hour－long advising session on
a sofa；now you can access free advice on TikTok in under a minute.Perhaps this new
trend is growing because it offers easy bite－size answers to big complex questions.
The problem with TikTok，however，is that the videos have to be under 60 seconds，
which are about serious mental health illnesses being reduced to brief sentences with
quick fixes from sometimes unqualified non－professionals.And with the average age
of TikTok users between 18 and 24，how helpful is TikTok therapy?
“When I first started creating mental health content ，I didn’t expect anyone to
listen，”explains Julie Smith，who runs a private practice in Hampshire.“But it turns
out people are hungry for this sort of information.”Although there is a concern about
the videos’ increasing risk of self－diagnosis (自诊)，Smith thinks otherwise.She
compares self－diagnosing a mental health problem to self－diagnosing a common
cold，“If you want to find out about the symptoms of a cold，you can look it up
online.That’s not a risk because you can’t do much with that information until you get
to the doctor anyway.”
Yet despite concerns ， the comments on TikTok therapy videos are filled with
praises.Rachel，23，says she finds them very relatable：“If you see a video discussing
anxiety，it can help you acknowledge and discuss topics you might not feel safe to do

Parker Stewart, a 16－year－old student from Sayre School in America，decided last
year that he wanted to study the environment by himself to have a broad influence on
the community.
In order to reduce the carbon footprint，Stewart planned to produce enough solar
energy to power the school’s science labs.Now his plan is set to happen.To fix 30 solar
panels (太阳能电池板) is scheduled for late November.
As he began his research on solar energy ，he discovered a useful phone app.By
entering an address，he could find out how much sunlight the location receives each
day.Based on how much sunlight it receives，he found that his school building was the
best location.At the suggestion of his science teacher，Debbie Wheeler，he firstperformed an energy calculation of the science lab to see how much energy a typical
lab uses per day.Then，he started his research，contacting a local company of solar
panels，Synergy Home，to do the job.He lacked money for starting the project，so he
convinced Sayre’s head to support him after explaining the benefits of solar power for
the school and community.
Since Sayre provided the initial seed money to provide infrastructure (基础设施) and
the purchase of one panel，the project has grown to include a total of 30 panels.They
are expected to produce enough energy to run all the science labs on campus.
“It feels like a dream to think that an idea I had from my AP Environmental class
would have this kind of influence，”said Stewart，expressing gratitude for Wheeler’s
help.Wheeler said the success of the project was due to Stewart’s efforts and
willingness to follow through on the project from start to finish.“I’ve had other
students talk about environmental initiatives (倡议) on campus，but Stewart had the
persistence and courage to make it happen，”she said.
Stewart said that he would eventually like to study environmental engineering at
Stanford University in California.

Lacking chances to practise English？Thinking in English can bring you a huge step
closer to fluency！It is not very difficult.__1__ Today，we will share some mental
exercises with you.
A good first step is to think in individual words.Look around you.What do you see？
__2__ As you continue with this，it becomes a habit.Things are going to flash into your
head—computer，telephone，chair，desk，etc.，whatever it is and wherever you are.
__3__ For example，if you couldn’t think of the word “garage”，you can say in your
mind，“The place inside which I put my car” or “It’s next to my house.I keep things
there.”
The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences.For example，when sitting in a park，
you can tell yourself things like，“It’s such a beautiful day！” and “People are
playing.”__4__ You can also practise describing your daily activities.As beginning－
level learners，you can describe the day using the simple present verb form，like “I put
on my shirt.” and “He drives the bus.”You can also mentally make plans in the
morning or list things you’ve done before going to bed.__5__ So the skill level is a
little higher.
When you are practising it every day，over and over again，little by little，you are
thinking in English.
A．It is extremely easy to understand.
B．This would require other verb tenses.
C．At some points，you will need a dictionary.
D．But it takes conscious effort and practice.
E．Then describe objects you don’t know the words for.
F．Try to name each object in your surroundings.G．Once this becomes easy，you can move on to more difficult sentences.
