26、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, drug addiction 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 work 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 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.”
【1】What did Rao think of the award she received?
A.It was a mark of social progress.
B.It was a recognition of her work.
C.It was an inspiration to the youth.
D.It was a title beyond her expectation.
【2】Why would Rao start to pursue science?
A.To encourage people to aim high.
B.To pursue her passion for research.
C.To change the society for the better.
D.To stop science from being questioned.
【3】Which word can best describe Rao?
A.Cool.
B.Kind.
C.Brave.
D.Creative.
【4】What’s the purpose of the text?
A.To report a young genius.
B.To introduce new inventions.
C.To improve social conditions.
D.To present artificial intelligence.
27、If you are a new-comer to the USA, you may find that your name is hard for the local people to pronounce. It often brings inconvenience and even causes some troubles. 【1】 Here are some practical suggestions for you.
Make your name easier
When you are applying for a job or attending a presentation, write down the phonetic spelling next to your name. This will make your name much easier. From my own experience, my new friends find this method useful. When they see “Ilincha [ee-lean-ka]”, they can follow the guidance correctly. 【2】
Act in a right way
If your name is being mispronounced, never remain quiet or question why they can’t pronounce it correctly. 【3】. Instead, you can behave politely by offering the right pronunciation to your friends. Just politely show them how to say your name right. And then, you can even start interesting conversations about the meaning of your name.
【4】
Remember, you shouldn’t change your name to fit in. Take me as an example. People often ask me if I have a nickname, or if they could just change my name into something easier. But I hold to my ground. I would be true to myself and say, “No, I would prefer to be called [ee-lean-ka] as this carries great meaning for mne.”
【5】. We should all love and celebrate each of our names. Therefore, be proud of your name and speak up for yourself.
A.Be patient and kind
B.Stay true to yourself
C.And don’t blame them for the mistake, either
D.You may wonder how to handle such problems
E.As a result, they can pronounce my name easily
F.What’s more, we should also learn about local culture
G.Hopefully, the suggestions above will bring you confidence
28、 Running seems easy enough: Just grab a pair of sneakers and put one foot in front of the other, right? Well, anyone who struggled to get through a mile knows it’s not quite that simple. We’ve asked experienced runners to tell us something wrong they did when they started running. The following are some of their answers.
I got excited and signed up for a half-marathon with a few more experienced runner friends, but I wasn’t adequately prepared and didn’t train efficiently. I ended up with blisters(水泡) on my feet. I couldn’t wear shoes for two days!
—Cali Lavey
I have always been athletic and I have never been badly injured, but one day I felt a slight pain in my knee. I ignored it for a month until I realized I was having a hard time putting weight on my right leg. I finally went to a doctor. It took four months of weekly physical therapy(治疗) to heal. I shouldn’t have done that.
—Arnold
My biggest mistake was treating running like soccer practice: If I wasn’t exhausted by the end of practice, I felt as though I didn’t work hard enough. I run all of my runs at 80 percent effort, or the equivalent of what I now call tempo runs (节奏跑). I wasn’t warming up to the pace or cooling down effectively.
—Kate
I decided to go out for a run during the hottest part of the day. At the time, I told myself that it would be refreshing to sweat a little, but I didn’t bring adequate water. I returned feeling completely rundown, dehydrated (脱水的), and exhausted. If you must go out on a run during unfavorable weather, wear proper suits and bring enough water to keep you feeling strong.
— Sarah
【1】Why did Cali suffer from her half-marathon?
A. She ran all the way barefoot.
B. She didn’t get ready for it.

【2】What did Arnold regret doing?
A. Thinking he would never get injured.
B. Putting heavy weight on his right leg.
C. Spending about four month s treating his knee.

【4】The examples of the four runners mainly show that ________.
A. we should warm up before running
B. we should bring enough water when running
C. we shouldn’t think running is very easy
D. we shouldn’t ignore any pain when running
29、Herbal medicine (草药), which has been used for medicinal purposes, is the use of plants to treat diseases. Many herbalists use the entire plant, from the flowers, stems, leaves, and roots, in the form of everything from teas to pills. These plants contain natural, chemical things that can treat the body for a variety of diseases- such as allergies, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine, chronic fatigue, and cancer, among others.
Nowadays an increasing number of people prefer to adopt these plants to treat their diseases because, compared with chemical medicine, herbal medicine has its own advantages. Herbal medicine and remedies (治疗) are more effective than chemical medicine for certain diseases. The chemical medicine given by a chemist could have certain negative side effects. However, many of the herbal medicine and remedies do not have negative side effects. If any, they are softer than chemical medicine. Obesity is the cause of many of the health problems. Herbal medicine can help weight-loss more effectively and improve overall health.
However, the cure using herbal medicine and supplements (营养品) would take some time, and therefore people are supposed to possess enough patience. Worse still, herbal medicine contains a variety of ingredients (成分) and people have to be sure that their body agrees with the ingredients and that it is not allergic (过敏).
A point worth mentioning here is herbal remedies and medicine for certain illnesses may have negative side effects. These side effects may not be shown at once, but would take months or even years. In the early stages, if the herbal medicine is not agreeing with you, it is wise to stop using it.
When used correctly and directed by doctors, herbs can help treat a variety of diseases. But keep in mind that the herbal medicine industry is not regulated, so herbal products are often misleading and may contain additives (添加剂) and that are not listed on the label (标签). Some herbs may cause allergic reactions or interact with other drugs, and some are poisonous if used improperly or at high doses (剂量). Taking herbs on your own increases your risk.
