Part of buying a home is making it your own. That can mean a huge number of things, from the simple act of repainting to something more adventurous, like adopting a brand-new lifestyle.
For the Wright family —Yvonna, Brett and their two daughters, Marley and Lola — creating a home of their own meant stepping outside their New York City comfort zone. It was a major shift, but they found a whole new level of contentment not too far from where they started. Now, the Wrights are raising chickens, keeping bees and planning a future as a farmhouse family in the Hudson Valley, just north of Manhattan.
As longtime residents of Harlem, Brett and Yvonna Wright didn’t always consider farm life their destiny(命运). But after finding success in the worlds of entertainment and publishing, they felt the need to build something their whole family could own for years to come. The brownstones of Harlem were difficult to leave behind, but the promise of open space, fresh air and boundless nature was too charming (迷人的) to resist.
The Wrights’ journey to homeownership wasn’t without obstacles. Their daughters were understandably a bit skeptical about moving. It can be difficult to have your life uprooted at any age, and for city kids moving to the country, the culture shock includes adapting to a whole new lifestyle.
Since buying their home, farm life has suited the Wrights even better than they had hoped. The charms of county life won over their daughters more quickly than anyone could have expected. Now, they are helping Mom and Dad with their business, Lomar Farms. It might seem like a total reinvention, but this family is well equipped to create a life as sweet as honey.
4. What can we say about the farmhouse of the Wright family
A. It is located in Harlem.
B. It was owned by a relative.
C. It used to be a publishing house.
D. It is not too far from their old home.
5. What is paragraph 3 centered on
A. How the family lived. B. Why the family moved.
C. What the family are doing. D. Where the family come from.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “uprooted”
A. Improved. B. Settled. C. Changed. D. Insured.
7. What do the Wrights think of their present life
A. It is a satisfaction to them all. B. It is kind of adventurous.
C. It is out of their comfort zone. D. It is a shock to their neighbors.
C
When leaning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But if you also gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later. Linking a word to brain areas responsible for movement strengthens the memory of its meaning.
As neuroscientist Brian Mathias and his colleagues describe in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words (such as “lamube” for “camera,” and “atesi” for “thought”) over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were simultaneously (同时地) shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, they were supposed to perform the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German in a multiple-choice test.
At the same time, they had a device attached to their heads that sent weak pulses to their primary motor cortex (皮层) — the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. When these interfering (干扰) signals were active, the subjects found it harder to recall the words accompanied by gestures. When the device sent no interfering signals (but still appeared to the subjects to be active), they found it easier to remember the words. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. This applied to concrete words, such as “camera,” as well as abstract ones, such as “thought”.
“Our results provide evidence for why learning techniques that involve the body’s motor system should be used more often,” says Mathias. “I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms. People use it spontaneously (自发地), if they’re good teachers and good listeners. But we don’t necessarily bring it into the class if we don’t think about it.”
8. What were the subjects required to do in the test
A. Repeat what other subjects describe.
B. Follow what the person in the video did.
C. Match the vocabulary with relative pictures.
D. Translate the vocabulary into a foreign language.
9. Why were pulses sent to the subjects’ motor cortex
A. To control their body movements.
B. To shelter other interfering signals.
C. To identify the function of the motor cortex.
D. To confirm the abstract thoughts in their mind.
10. What is Brian Mathias’s expectation of the research
A. It will be carried out more frequently.
B. It will involve more concrete objects.
C. It will be plied to classroom teaching.
D. It will motivate his colleagues to participate.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Good Learning Techniques Matter More
B. Repeating Strengthens Memory
C. Body Language Betters Communication
D. Gestures Help Learn New Words
D
Every time mask wearers cough, or make certain facial expressions, their face covering shits — and a busy worker may not have time to recheck mask fit each time one of these movements occurs. “This can cause anxiety,” says Josiah Hester, developer of FaceBit — a device that tracks a face covering’s fit and wear time, as well as its wearer’s vital signs. His colleagues who work in clinical settings have been communicating their concerns to him, saying, “Give me something that can watch me because I don’t have the time to take care of myself as I’m going about my clinical duties, taking care of this influx (涌入) of patients.” And that’s where it started, Hester explains.
Rather than developing an entire “smart mask,” which might be impractical to reuse, Hester’s team created an electronic device, a little lager than a quarter, that attaches to a face covering with a clip (夹子) and contains several sensors. A pressure sensor detects leaks, indicating how well a mask is fitting. Pressure changes also let the FaceBit determine when the mask is over someone’s face, so it can record wear time. The FaceBit additionally monitors heart rate and measures breathing rate. A Bluetooth connection send these data to a companion phone app. The device is powered by a battery, charged with energy harvested from the mask’s motions as its wearer moves and breathes.
A fit monitor could be very useful for health care workers wearing a mask all day, says Lisa Brosseau, a research consultant. But she is not convinced that FaceBit can consistently measure fit. “It has some promise, perhaps, but they have not validated it in a way that I would accept.”
Hester plans to continue testing and improving the project. His team will distribute some FaceBits and let people use them, experiment and play with them. Other researchers will also be able to improve the energy-harvesting components and extend the battery life. They could even add new sensors that would open up more uses for such a device.
12. Where did Josiah Hester’s inspiration to develop FaceBit come from
A. One of his patients. B. A research consultant.
C. His personal experience. D. His co-workers’ request.
13. How can a mask wearer get information from FaceBit
A. By checking the companion phone app. B. By reading the measurer on it
C. By communicating with a wearable recorder. D. By viewing the watch attached to it.
14. What can we infer about Josiah Hester’s project
A. It is of unlimited use. B. It is well received.
C. It calls for cooperation. D. It has gained profits.
15. What is the purpose of the text
A. To share a clinical experiment.
B. To introduce an electronic device.
C. To recommend a smart face covering.
D. To analyze risks of not wearing masks.

You have distinct opinions on where the best coffee is in your local area. But if the entire city had a high chance of providing a tasty cup, it could be the personal heaven for coffee lovers.
Rome, Italy
Italy is known for its love of quality food, and the same applies to the coffee. Rome is packed with cafes that keep the city running. Coffee brewers take their business very seriously, so that you rarely meet a watered-down cup.
Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne loves coffee so much that they hold an annual coffee festival and have their own coffee-related publication, the Melbourne Coffee Review. What makes Melbourne coffee shops unique is the way the city is divided: the city is divided into several villages, each with its own specific culture. The most recommended drinks to get in Melbourne are typically lattes or other coffee drinks with milk.
Vienna, Austria
When it comes to coffee, Vienna goes hard: the city had its coffee shops listed as ''intangible heritage （非物质文化遗产）"by UNESCO in 2011. Vienna cafes pride themselves on their atmosphere, taking the furnishings and decoration of shops quite seriously. These spaces are great social or people-watching atmospheres. Viennese particularly enjoy cappuccinos and the local Wiener Melange.
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Considered the “birthplace of coffee"， and one of the world's top coffee bean producers today, it's no surprise that coffee is an important part of Ethiopian culture. If you have friends or relatives there, expect to be invited to a coffee ceremony. You'll enjoy roasting and grinding （研磨）the beans, then brewing them in a clay pot before finally enjoying the final product with your hosts.
21. Which city hosts a coffee festival every year
A. Rome. B. Melbourne. C. Vienna. D. Addis Ababa.

It's hard to overstate just how much Writer 3 Digest has survived to make it to its centennial. The Great Depression. World War II. The many wars and societal revolutions of the '50s, '60s, and '70s. The technological revolution and the creation of the internet. The shift from being a family-owned business to a corporation with investors. And most recently, a global pandemic （流行病）.

You UI see a collection of new columns coming in 2021. We are thrilled to have Bryan Washington, award-winning author of the short story collection Lot and the new novel Memorial, as our first guest columnist. The WD team started planning this issue more than a year ago and putting it together has been a joy. We hope you find as much pleasure and inspiration in reading it as we found in creating it.

Gary Koppelman, an award-winning science teacher, didn't think he'd make it to college. In elementary school, he struggled with math and reading. Speaking in front of his classmates made him awkward. He was teased constantly. By the time he began high school, his instructor told him to forget about college.
Fortunately, Koppelman's high school teacher, Doug Cline, frequently praised Koppelman's strengths, and helped him handle incidents of teasing. In 1970, Koppelman got admitted into Eastern Michigan University to pursue a degree in teaching. There, his professor noticed his difficulty in reading and challenges with hearing. Following his professor's advice, Koppelman started seeing his teachers after lectures to receive extra help and designing projects to understand theories better. In 1976, Koppelman graduated with a master's degree in elementary education.
Koppelman's discoveries about his own learning challenged him to design an alternative method to teach science to young children and create the Environmental Life Lab at Blissfield Elementary. He tries to provide opportunities for students to engage with natural world, ask questions, collect and analyze data, and work together to come up with answers. "In the science lab, every day feels like a field trip day," a seventh grader said.
“At a young age, children are so attracted by animals and insects,“ Koppelman said. "It's hard to explain to people who are not teachers what it looks and feels when something in nature or science touches a child's sense of awe and wonderment. But I see it every day.”
“Life science is a powerful springboard to get students interested in earth and physical science, and then extend that into math, geography, and social studies. There is nothing else like it," claimed Linda Mueller, the school’s headmaster. "Blissfield consistently outperforms state averages on standardized science tests, and sometimes near the top of the state.”
28. What do we know about Koppelman's elementary school life
A. It was interrupted constantly. B. It was unforgettable with joy.
C. It was filled with achievements. D. It was depressing with difficulty.
29. How does Koppelman teach science to young children
A. By having daily field trips. B. By getting them exposed to nature.
C. By giving standardized tests. D. By seeking help from other teachers.
30. What does Linda Mueller mean by her words in the last paragraph
A. It is hard to explain science to people.
B. Science is different from other subjects.
C. Koppelman's teaching method has paid off
D. Blissfield tops the state's elementary schools.
31. Which of the following can best describe Koppelman
A. Devoted and creative. B. Reliable and punctual.
C. Humorous and modest. D. Disciplined and talkative.
D
Scientific research on yoga has found that yoga practice can help with problems such as back pain, depression and anxiety. Still, yoga studies tend to be of uneven quality, often relying on self-reported survey data. However, a 2019 review paper focused on a more objective measure: brain scans. Though far from definitive, the findings show that the practice may improve brain health, and they indicate a way to bring yoga and science more convincingly together.
The review, led by Neha Gothe, director of the Exercise Psychology Lab, examined 11 papers that used various types of brain scans to assess the impact of yoga practice on the brain. Gothe and her colleagues limited their review to studies in which all three major elements of yoga were included: the physical poses, breathing exercises, and meditation or mindfulness. Three patterns emerged with some consistency: yoga practice could be linked to increased gray matter volume （体积）in the hippocampus, a key structure for memory; increased volume in certain regions of the prefrontal cortex, the seat of higher-order cognition （认知）；and greater connectivity across the default mode network. This network plays a role in processing memories and emotions.
Jessica Damoiseaux, a co-author of the review paper, focuses her research on aging-related changes in the brain, and she notes that the structures that seem to be strengthened by yoga are ones that tend to shrink with aging. The greater volumes linked to yoga are similar to those seen in studies of aerobic （有氧的） exercise. This raises a question: Is there really anything special about yoga or is it just another brain-preserving workout
At this point it's hard to say. Clearer answers will come with better studies that build on the smaller experiments. Gothe, for example, recently received government funds for a study that will assign 168 old adults to six months of classes of yoga, aerobic exercise, or stretching and strengthening. "It's exactly the kind of trial we need ," says Gothe.
32. What do we know about the 2019 review paper on yoga
A. It is far from objective. B. It is centered on brain scans.
C. It proves to be of low quality. D. It relies on self-reported data.
33. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Three major elements of yoga. B. The key structure for memory.
C. The finding of the review by Gothe. D. The emotion processing network.
34. What does Gothe plan to do in the future
A. Take aerobic exercise. B. Apply for government funds.
C. Assign old people to jobs. D. Carry out smaller experiments.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Yoga back in fashion B. Age can affect brain power
C. Brain trials on the way D. Yoga may boost brain health

George, once known as “Midnight Memory Maker,” had been given away after his original owner, Todd Mathieson, died and his wife, Diane, could no longer care for him. She found a new home for George so that he could continue to race for a number of years.
In September, 2018, George was turned over to the Animal Rescue League (ARL) of Boston. When he arrived at the league’s adoption center in Dedham, he was slightly underweight, and in need of medical care. But, over all, he was in good health, the league said.
George recuperated (休养) for a few months in Dedham before being put into foster care. “He was highly intelligent, elegant, well-trained and had clearly known love. He was very engaged with humans,” Cordula Robinson, George’s foster parent, said in the statement.
Robinson wanted to help George go home. She contacted animal rescue agencies up and down the East Coast to see if anyone recognized him. To her surprise, someone from New Jersey recognized George as once belonging to Todd Mathieson. He was well known and owned a stable in Connecticut, said Michael DeFina, a spokesman for the ARL. George is notable for his distinctive colors, such as white patches on his hooves (蹄子) that look “like socks,” DeFina said. They went through show photos to confirm George’s identity and contacted his original hostess.
Diane Mathieson was “overwhelmed and ecstatic (欣喜若狂)” about the possibility of reuniting with George.
After 13 years apart, George was transported to his family in Ocala, Florida, where he will enjoy his retirement. “He seems to be walking taller,” Diane said.
4．Why was George given away by his original family
A．He was a trouble-maker in the community. B．He often got lost for his poor memory.
C．The family couldn’t provide enough care. D．His wife had found him a new home.
5．What did Cordula Robinson do for George
A．Bring him to the adoption center. B．Help his reunion with the family.
C．Take some show photos for him. D．Build an elegant stable for him.
6．Who is the owner of George now

7．What can we infer about George
A．He used to be a race horse. B．He enjoyed his retirement.
C．He lost both of his parents. D．He was hard to recognize.
Here’s the list of skiers, who have won four consecutive (连续的) world championships: Nobody.
Well, nobody besides Mikaela Shiffrin, who did it last Saturday in Are, Sweden. The Colorado skier, still just 23, is the best story, really, of this sports winter in the slalom (障碍滑雪).
She pulled it off, despite an illness that challenged her breathing. Shiffrin told NBC after her win that her mother, Eileen, advised her before her second run: You don’t have to do this. But Shiffrin told herself what she had told herself many times before: “I just need 60 seconds.” So she did it, and she got it. Shiffrin is closing in on her third World Cup overall title. She’s ranked No. 1 on the planet in slalom.
In women’s skiing, the mountain is now Shiffrin’s. She’s earned it. Those two (and soon three) World Cup overalls; 56 World Cup individual victories; and, oh yeah, right, three Olympic medals, two of them gold. Shiffrin is already considered a serious threat to Ingemar Stenmark’s record of 86 World Cup victories, and Lindsey Vonn’s 82, though the 34-year-old surely would have collected more had she not suffered repeated injuries during her career. Of course, Shiffrin may wind up chasing someone else’s mark—Austria’s brilliant Marcel Hirscher, 29, now has 68 World Cup wins.
At the same time, Shiffrin loathes all the talk about the numbers and records. “People see the records and statistics. They are asking for more, more, more…it looks easy, but it isn’t. Nowhere close,” Shiffrin wrote. “What I see is training, sleepless nights, pain, doubt, delayed lights, canceled flights, lost luggage, expense, adventure, and some races mixed in there.”
That’s what happens when you’re as good as she is. But nobody’s been as good as she is. In a sense, Shiffrin is just getting started. It’s very possible she will be at her peak powers when the Winter Olympics arrive in Beijing in 2022.
8．What do we know about Mikaela Shiffrin in her recent slalom race
A．She was not in her best physical condition.
B．She pulled out of the race in the second run.
C．She followed her mother’s advice and succeeded.
D．She told herself a one-minute story before the race.
9．Whose record of World Cup victories is Mikaela Shiffrin getting close to
A．Eileen Shiffrin’s. B．Ingemar Stenmark’s.
C．Lindsey Vonn’s. D．Marcel Hirscher’s.
10．Which of the following best explains “loathes” underlined in paragraph 5
A．Summarizes. B．Gives away. C．Dislikes. D．Focuses on.
11．What is the best title for the text
A．Shiffrin Is Moving Mountains B．Shiffrin Is At Her Peak
C．The Rise And Fall Of A Colorado Skier D．The Most Popular Winter Sports
A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks.
Engineers at the Beijing-based Hanwang Technology Ltd. say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks. A team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces.
Hanwang is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a “multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance cameras (监控摄像头).
“When wearing a mask, the recognition rate can reach about 95 percent, which can ensure that most people can be identified,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s vice president. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5 percent.
Huang said Hanwang’s technology can be used to identify and track people as they move about. He added the system can identify crime suspects, terrorists or make reports or warnings.
However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is tough,” Huang said.
It was not immediately clear how people were reacting to the new technology. While some have expressed opposition to such tools, many others seem to have showed interest in the new system and accepted it as a way to deal with the current health emergency — the spread of the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒). Huang says he sees the interest likely expanding if the virus continues to spread and the use of face masks increases.
12．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．Where the company is located. B．How the system is developed.
C．When the research work started. D．What the collection stands for.
13．What is the limitation of the new facial recognition system
A．The poor storage of information.
B．The relatively low recognition rate.
C．Identifying people with both a mask and sunglasses.
D．Tracking the movement of crime suspects and terrorists.
14．What attitude does Huang Lei hold towards the new technology
A．Unclear. B．Optimistic. C．Opposed. D．Worried.
15．Where is the text most likely from
A．A travel brochure. B．A health magazine.
C．A medical paper. D．A science report.

Part of buying a home is making it your own. That can mean a huge number of things, from the simple act of repainting to something more adventurous, like adopting a brand-new lifestyle.
For the Wright family —Yvonna, Brett and their two daughters, Marley and Lola — creating a home of their own meant stepping outside their New York City comfort zone. It was a major shift, but they found a whole new level of contentment not too far from where they started. Now, the Wrights are raising chickens, keeping bees and planning a future as a farmhouse family in the Hudson Valley, just north of Manhattan.
As longtime residents of Harlem, Brett and Yvonna Wright didn’t always consider farm life their destiny(命运). But after finding success in the worlds of entertainment and publishing, they felt the need to build something their whole family could own for years to come. The brownstones of Harlem were difficult to leave behind, but the promise of open space, fresh air and boundless nature was too charming (迷人的) to resist.
The Wrights’ journey to homeownership wasn’t without obstacles. Their daughters were understandably a bit skeptical about moving. It can be difficult to have your life uprooted at any age, and for city kids moving to the country, the culture shock includes adapting to a whole new lifestyle.
Since buying their home, farm life has suited the Wrights even better than they had hoped. The charms of county life won over their daughters more quickly than anyone could have expected. Now, they are helping Mom and Dad with their business, Lomar Farms. It might seem like a total reinvention, but this family is well equipped to create a life as sweet as honey.
4. What can we say about the farmhouse of the Wright family
A. It is located in Harlem.
B. It was owned by a relative.
C. It used to be a publishing house.
D. It is not too far from their old home.
5. What is paragraph 3 centered on
A. How the family lived. B. Why the family moved.
C. What the family are doing. D. Where the family come from.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “uprooted”
A. Improved. B. Settled. C. Changed. D. Insured.
7. What do the Wrights think of their present life
A. It is a satisfaction to them all. B. It is kind of adventurous.
C. It is out of their comfort zone. D. It is a shock to their neighbors.
C
When leaning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But if you also gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later. Linking a word to brain areas responsible for movement strengthens the memory of its meaning.
As neuroscientist Brian Mathias and his colleagues describe in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words (such as “lamube” for “camera,” and “atesi” for “thought”) over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were simultaneously (同时地) shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, they were supposed to perform the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German in a multiple-choice test.
At the same time, they had a device attached to their heads that sent weak pulses to their primary motor cortex (皮层) — the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. When these interfering (干扰) signals were active, the subjects found it harder to recall the words accompanied by gestures. When the device sent no interfering signals (but still appeared to the subjects to be active), they found it easier to remember the words. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. This applied to concrete words, such as “camera,” as well as abstract ones, such as “thought”.
“Our results provide evidence for why learning techniques that involve the body’s motor system should be used more often,” says Mathias. “I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms. People use it spontaneously (自发地), if they’re good teachers and good listeners. But we don’t necessarily bring it into the class if we don’t think about it.”
8. What were the subjects required to do in the test
A. Repeat what other subjects describe.
B. Follow what the person in the video did.
C. Match the vocabulary with relative pictures.
D. Translate the vocabulary into a foreign language.
9. Why were pulses sent to the subjects’ motor cortex
A. To control their body movements.
B. To shelter other interfering signals.
C. To identify the function of the motor cortex.
D. To confirm the abstract thoughts in their mind.
10. What is Brian Mathias’s expectation of the research
A. It will be carried out more frequently.
B. It will involve more concrete objects.
C. It will be plied to classroom teaching.
D. It will motivate his colleagues to participate.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Good Learning Techniques Matter More
B. Repeating Strengthens Memory
C. Body Language Betters Communication
D. Gestures Help Learn New Words
D
Every time mask wearers cough, or make certain facial expressions, their face covering shits — and a busy worker may not have time to recheck mask fit each time one of these movements occurs. “This can cause anxiety,” says Josiah Hester, developer of FaceBit — a device that tracks a face covering’s fit and wear time, as well as its wearer’s vital signs. His colleagues who work in clinical settings have been communicating their concerns to him, saying, “Give me something that can watch me because I don’t have the time to take care of myself as I’m going about my clinical duties, taking care of this influx (涌入) of patients.” And that’s where it started, Hester explains.
Rather than developing an entire “smart mask,” which might be impractical to reuse, Hester’s team created an electronic device, a little lager than a quarter, that attaches to a face covering with a clip (夹子) and contains several sensors. A pressure sensor detects leaks, indicating how well a mask is fitting. Pressure changes also let the FaceBit determine when the mask is over someone’s face, so it can record wear time. The FaceBit additionally monitors heart rate and measures breathing rate. A Bluetooth connection send these data to a companion phone app. The device is powered by a battery, charged with energy harvested from the mask’s motions as its wearer moves and breathes.
A fit monitor could be very useful for health care workers wearing a mask all day, says Lisa Brosseau, a research consultant. But she is not convinced that FaceBit can consistently measure fit. “It has some promise, perhaps, but they have not validated it in a way that I would accept.”
Hester plans to continue testing and improving the project. His team will distribute some FaceBits and let people use them, experiment and play with them. Other researchers will also be able to improve the energy-harvesting components and extend the battery life. They could even add new sensors that would open up more uses for such a device.
12. Where did Josiah Hester’s inspiration to develop FaceBit come from
A. One of his patients. B. A research consultant.
C. His personal experience. D. His co-workers’ request.
13. How can a mask wearer get information from FaceBit
A. By checking the companion phone app. B. By reading the measurer on it
C. By communicating with a wearable recorder. D. By viewing the watch attached to it.
14. What can we infer about Josiah Hester’s project
A. It is of unlimited use. B. It is well received.
C. It calls for cooperation. D. It has gained profits.
15. What is the purpose of the text
A. To share a clinical experiment.
B. To introduce an electronic device.

You UI see a collection of new columns coming in 2021. We are thrilled to have Bryan Washington, award-winning author of the short story collection Lot and the new novel Memorial, as our first guest columnist.

Gary Koppelman, an award-winning science teacher, didn't think he'd make it to college. In elementary school, he struggled with math and reading. Speaking in front of his classmates made him awkward. He was teased constantly. By the time he began high school, his instructor told him to forget about college.
Fortunately, Koppelman's high school teacher, Doug Cline, frequently praised Koppelman's strengths, and helped him handle incidents of teasing. In 1970, Koppelman got admitted into Eastern Michigan University to pursue a degree in teaching. There, his professor noticed his difficulty in reading and challenges with hearing. Following his professor's advice, Koppelman started seeing his teachers after lectures to receive extra help and designing projects to understand theories better. In 1976, Koppelman graduated with a master's degree in elementary education.
Koppelman's discoveries about his own learning challenged him to design an alternative method to teach science to young children and create the Environmental Life Lab at Blissfield Elementary. He tries to provide opportunities for students to engage with natural world, ask questions, collect and analyze data, and work together to come up with answers. "In the science lab, every day feels like a field trip day," a seventh grader said.
“At a young age, children are so attracted by animals and insects,“ Koppelman said. "It's hard to explain to people who are not teachers what it looks and feels when something in nature or science touches a child's sense of awe and wonderment. But I see it every day.”
“Life science is a powerful springboard to get students interested in earth and physical science, and then extend that into math, geography, and social studies. There is nothing else like it," claimed Linda Mueller, the school’s headmaster. "Blissfield consistently outperforms state averages on standardized science tests, and sometimes near the top of the state.”
28. What do we know about Koppelman's elementary school life
A. It was interrupted constantly. B. It was unforgettable with joy.
C. It was filled with achievements. D. It was depressing with difficulty.
29. How does Koppelman teach science to young children
A. By having daily field trips. B. By getting them exposed to nature.
C. By giving standardized tests. D. By seeking help from other teachers.
30. What does Linda Mueller mean by her words in the last paragraph
A. It is hard to explain science to people.
B. Science is different from other subjects.
C. Koppelman's teaching method has paid off
D. Blissfield tops the state's elementary schools.
31. Which of the following can best describe Koppelman
A. Devoted and creative. B. Reliable and punctual.
C. Humorous and modest. D. Disciplined and talkative.
D
Scientific research on yoga has found that yoga practice can help with problems such as back pain, depression and anxiety. Still, yoga studies tend to be of uneven quality, often relying on self-reported survey data. However, a 2019 review paper focused on a more objective measure: brain scans. Though far from definitive, the findings show that the practice may improve brain health, and they indicate a way to bring yoga and science more convincingly together.
The review, led by Neha Gothe, director of the Exercise Psychology Lab, examined 11 papers that used various types of brain scans to assess the impact of yoga practice on the brain. Gothe and her colleagues limited their review to studies in which all three major elements of yoga were included: the physical poses, breathing exercises, and meditation or mindfulness. Three patterns emerged with some consistency: yoga practice could be linked to increased gray matter volume （体积）in the hippocampus, a key structure for memory; increased volume in certain regions of the prefrontal cortex, the seat of higher-order cognition （认知）；and greater connectivity across the default mode network. This network plays a role in processing memories and emotions.
Jessica Damoiseaux, a co-author of the review paper, focuses her research on aging-related changes in the brain, and she notes that the structures that seem to be strengthened by yoga are ones that tend to shrink with aging. The greater volumes linked to yoga are similar to those seen in studies of aerobic （有氧的） exercise. This raises a question: Is there really anything special about yoga or is it just another brain-preserving workout
At this point it's hard to say. Clearer answers will come with better studies that build on the smaller experiments. Gothe, for example, recently received government funds for a study that will assign 168 old adults to six months of classes of yoga, aerobic exercise, or stretching and strengthening. "It's exactly the kind of trial we need ," says Gothe.
32. What do we know about the 2019 review paper on yoga
A. It is far from objective. B. It is centered on brain scans.
C. It proves to be of low quality. D. It relies on self-reported data.
33. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Three major elements of yoga. B. The key structure for memory.
C. The finding of the review by Gothe. D. The emotion processing network.
34. What does Gothe plan to do in the future
A. Take aerobic exercise. B. Apply for government funds.
C. Assign old people to jobs. D. Carry out smaller experiments.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Yoga back in fashion B. Age can affect brain power
C. Brain trials on the way D. Yoga may boost brain health

George, once known as “Midnight Memory Maker,” had been given away after his original owner, Todd Mathieson, died and his wife, Diane, could no longer care for him. She found a new home for George so that he could continue to race for a number of years.
In September, 2018, George was turned over to the Animal Rescue League (ARL) of Boston. When he arrived at the league’s adoption center in Dedham, he was slightly underweight, and in need of medical care. But, over all, he was in good health, the league said.
George recuperated (休养) for a few months in Dedham before being put into foster care. “He was highly intelligent, elegant, well-trained and had clearly known love. He was very engaged with humans,” Cordula Robinson, George’s foster parent, said in the statement.
Robinson wanted to help George go home. She contacted animal rescue agencies up and down the East Coast to see if anyone recognized him. To her surprise, someone from New Jersey recognized George as once belonging to Todd Mathieson. He was well known and owned a stable in Connecticut, said Michael DeFina, a spokesman for the ARL. George is notable for his distinctive colors, such as white patches on his hooves (蹄子) that look “like socks,” DeFina said. They went through show photos to confirm George’s identity and contacted his original hostess.
Diane Mathieson was “overwhelmed and ecstatic (欣喜若狂)” about the possibility of reuniting with George.
After 13 years apart, George was transported to his family in Ocala, Florida, where he will enjoy his retirement. “He seems to be walking taller,” Diane said.

Here’s the list of skiers, who have won four consecutive (连续的) world championships: Nobody.
Well, nobody besides Mikaela Shiffrin, who did it last Saturday in Are, Sweden. The Colorado skier, still just 23, is the best story, really, of this sports winter in the slalom (障碍滑雪).
She pulled it off, despite an illness that challenged her breathing. Shiffrin told NBC after her win that her mother, Eileen, advised her before her second run: You don’t have to do this. But Shiffrin told herself what she had told herself many times before: “I just need 60 seconds.” So she did it, and she got it. Shiffrin is closing in on her third World Cup overall title. She’s ranked No. 1 on the planet in slalom.
In women’s skiing, the mountain is now Shiffrin’s. She’s earned it. Those two (and soon three) World Cup overalls; 56 World Cup individual victories; and, oh yeah, right, three Olympic medals, two of them gold. Shiffrin is already considered a serious threat to Ingemar Stenmark’s record of 86 World Cup victories, and Lindsey Vonn’s 82, though the 34-year-old surely would have collected more had she not suffered repeated injuries during her career. Of course, Shiffrin may wind up chasing someone else’s mark—Austria’s brilliant Marcel Hirscher, 29, now has 68 World Cup wins.
At the same time, Shiffrin loathes all the talk about the numbers and records. “People see the records and statistics. They are asking for more, more, more…it looks easy, but it isn’t. Nowhere close,” Shiffrin wrote. “What I see is training, sleepless nights, pain, doubt, delayed lights, canceled flights, lost luggage, expense, adventure, and some races mixed in there.”
That’s what happens when you’re as good as she is. But nobody’s been as good as she is. In a sense, Shiffrin is just getting started. It’s very possible she will be at her peak powers when the Winter Olympics arrive in Beijing in 2022.

A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks.
Engineers at the Beijing-based Hanwang Technology Ltd. say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks. A team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces.
Hanwang is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a “multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance cameras (监控摄像头).
“When wearing a mask, the recognition rate can reach about 95 percent, which can ensure that most people can be identified,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s vice president. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5 percent.
Huang said Hanwang’s technology can be used to identify and track people as they move about. He added the system can identify crime suspects, terrorists or make reports or warnings.
However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is tough,” Huang said.
It was not immediately clear how people were reacting to the new technology. While some have expressed opposition to such tools, many others seem to have showed interest in the new system and accepted it as a way to deal with the current health emergency — the spread of the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒). Huang says he sees the interest likely expanding if the virus continues to spread and the use of face masks increases.
12．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．Where the company is located. B．How the system is developed.
C．When the research work started. D．What the collection stands for.
13．What is the limitation of the new facial recognition system
A．The poor storage of information.
B．The relatively low recognition rate.
C．Identifying people with both a mask and sunglasses.
D．Tracking the movement of crime suspects and terrorists.
14．What attitude does Huang Lei hold towards the new technology
A．Unclear. B．Optimistic. C．Opposed. D．Worried.
15．Where is the text most likely from
A．A travel brochure. B．A health magazine.
C．A medical paper. D．A science report.
