Ben Francis didn’tbecome wealthythrough propertyleftbyhis family.Instead,theCEO andco-
founder of Gymshark used his earnings from pizza delivery to buy a sewing machine and start his
fitness clothing company at 19. Eleven years later, his efforts literally paid off. Francis, who has a
reported net worth of $1.3 billion, joined Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list. He’s in rare company:

Originally,Francisandco-founderLewisMorganlaunchedGymsharkasawebsitesellingfitness
supplements (补剂). But after getting fed up with his ill-fitting clothes, Francis suggested modifying
thecompany.HeandMorganboughtasewing(缝纫) machine,andhismom senthimvideostoteach

The pair brought Gymshark to a bodybuilding exhibition in 2013, but didn’t have any money to
advertise. On a whim (心血来潮), they decided to give popular fitness figures on social media
platforms free products. Francis said, “It would be so coolif they could come to be with Gymshark at
this event. But I didn’t really think that much about this idea.” Some of those influences went on to
wear the clothes on their channels, making Gymshark’s sales jump to $45,000 per day, up from just
$450.
In 2017, Francis quit the CEO role. He spent the next years supporting leadership roles within
Gymshark to learn more about the ins and outs of the business, before returning as the CEO in 2021.
That year, the company was valued at $1.45 billion. Still, the company’s billion-dollar valuation is a
small percentage ofthe market value ofsome strong competitors. “I really thinkGymshark canbe the
UK’s answer to those brands,” Francis said. “But it doesn’t mean that the UK is where we start and

Creating smells in virtual reality (VR) is a problem that has prevented consumer VR devices
from offering a full sensory experience in most settings. Past efforts to create smells in VR had to
depend on multiple wires, messy liquids, and heavy equipment that don’t lend themselves to home
use.
To tackle the problem, Dr. Yu Xinge at the City University of Hong Kong and Li Yuhang of
Beihang University in Beijing developed two wearable interfaces (接口). One can be attached to the
skin between the nose and the mouth; the other can be worn on the face. Both types can generate a
smell in as little as 1.44 seconds. “The higher the heat, the stronger the smell,” Yu says. That means
thatinterfaces cangetvery hot—upto60°C,whichis dangerousfor humanskin.Buttheirinterfaces
are safe because of an “open” design, which is an exit for hot air, along with a piece of chemical
substancethatformsabarrierbetweentheskinandtheactualdevice.
Artists have long attempted to bringsmells into entertainment. In 1960, Smell-O-Vision made its
first and only appearance with the film Scent of Mystery, which released pleasant smells during key
plot points through air conditioning. But the effort bombed: viewers said during screenings, smells
wereeitherdelayedortooweaktonotice.Smell-O-VisionnevertookrootinHollywood.
Yu used 30 different smells chosen for their distinctive, recognizable characteristics, like the
smell of green tea. But many real-life smells are less memorable and might not be as recognizable.
Additionally, the mini smell generators have yet to be programmed to work smoothly with existing
VR headsets. “Smell-equippedVR could be helpful medically or industrially,but it’s hard to say how
this would work in the commercial field,” Jas Brooks, a PhD student at the University of Chicago,
says.
Whether smell-equipped VR will do better than smell-equipped films remains to be seen. But

The mission is simple. Arrive on foreign soil, fit in and wait. Then, when the time is right,
emerge from the shadows and take over. This procedure, familiar from spy fiction as the preserve of
sleeperagents,isalsothestrategyofcertaininvasive(侵入的)plantspecies.
Invasive species that stay inactive, known as sleeper species, are not hard-wired to do so. Their
natural tendency (倾向) to expand is, instead, held back by some external (外部的) factor. But now,
with the climate rapidly changing, Bethany Bradley at the University of Massachusetts wonders
whether variations in temperature and rainfall have the potential to activate some sleeper species.As
shereportsinapaperinBiologicalInvasions,theanswerisyes.
Dr Bradley and her team came to their conclusions by studying 1,795 plant species in
northeasternAmerica identifiable as foreign but not yet locally listed as invasive. Of these, 169 were
unquestionably displaying invasive behaviour in other parts ofthe world, andcausing damage to their
environment.ThatsuggestedtheyhadtheabilitytocausesimilardamageinAmerica,too.
To determine whether the conditions coming to the region would activate any of the set 169, the
researchersfirst identified the conditionsunder whichthese specieswould thrive (旺盛).Anumber of
the plants on their list were held backby the coldwinters thatare less andless common in the region.
Theyalsofoundthatsomeotherspeciesrequiredmorerainfallthanistypical.
According to the team’s findings, climate change is on track to awaken 18 sleeper species that
couldcauseseriousenvironmentalandeconomicproblems.DrBradleyestimatesthattheywillstartto
makethemselvesfeltbetween2040and2060ifsomethingisnotdonesoon.
The most practical course of action, in her view, is to seek these sleeper species out before they
are able to spread. Removing them today may be expensive, but it will be far cheaper than trying to
weedthemouttomorrow.
32.Whatstrategydosleeperspeciestake?
A.Rapidlyexpandinginnewenvironments.
B.Patientlywaitingforhumanintervention.
C.Remaininginactiveuntilconditionsarefavorable.
D.Avoidingdetectionbystayinginshadowy-corners.

There are a few things that connect tunes (曲调) with our memories. Music is often a necessary
element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in catching our attention. 37
Besides,theemotionalnatureofmusichelpsmakeitparticularlymemorable.
We often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. The
more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. 38 The
reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV
programmeinthesameway.
Tiffany Jenkins, writing for a culture column, has a different opinion: 39 She tells us
how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation

40 This fact matches with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记

teenageyearsandearlyadulthood.
It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is beingused

The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car.
“Jude, you look unhappy.Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time.
Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr.Jackson had lost becauseof my mistake?Was he still
upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are
somethingI’mgoodat.”“Thatsoundsdisappointing,”Grandmanodded.

Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate

Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson!

freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tightened and was ready for his

However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us
