The 36-year-oid Jia Juntingxian was born in Pingxiang, and was blind in both eyes due to eye disease. She showed athletic talent since childhood and was selected as an athlete by Jiangxi Disabled Persons’ Federation.
Although she can’t see the world, Jia breaks through the “immediate” obstacles while running, letting the world see her. In her sports career, Jia has won 43 medals. Among them, in 2016, she broke the world record and stood on the podium of the women’s T11-T13 4×100-mcter relay event at the Rio Paralympics.
In 2017, Jia retired and chose to become a teacher at a special education school. Just a year ago, she found out that two young brothers, with visual impairments, wanted to be an athlete. But Jia could only help them attend a local special education school. The experience made her realize these children living in remote areas may have little knowledge of special education. As a result, she decided to become more involved with special education.
Changing from a competitor to a special education teacher, Jia said that there is no discomfort, “Because I understand the students and knows the inconveniences and difficulties of the children. I hope every child is like a seed. Through hard study, they can bravely realize their own life.”
Jia also has paid close attention to the rights and interests of disabled people. In 2021, Jia proposed the construction of audible traffic signals for blind people. Her advice to local authorities on dog management has resulted in more indoor public places allowing the disabled to enter with their assistance dogs. Jia founded a massage shop and employed 16 visually impaired people, with an average monthly salary of 3500 yuan per person.
Jia believes the world is a circle, as long as the love is constantly passed on, the whole society will be fall of love!

With no special equipment, no fences and no watering, two abandoned agricultural fields in the UK have been rewilded, in large part due to the efforts of jays（松鸦）, which actually “engineered” these new woodlands. Researchers now hope that rewilding projects can take a more natural and hands-off approach and that jays can shed some of their bad reputations.
The two fields, which researchers have called the New Wilderness and the Old Wilderness, had been abandoned in 1996 and 1961 respectively. The former was a bare field, while the latter was grassland—both lay next to ancient woodlands. Researchers had suspected that the fields would gradually return to wilderness, but it was impressive to see just how quickly this happened, and how much of it was owed to birds.
Using aerial data, the researchers monitored the two sites. After just 24 years, the New Wilderness had grown into a young, healthy wood with 132 live trees per hectare, over half of which (57%) were oaks. Meanwhile, the Old Wilderness resembled a mature woodland after 39 years, with 390 trees per hectare.
“This native woodland restoration was approaching the structure (but not the species composition) of long-established woodlands within six decades,” the researchers explained in the study.
How did this happen Animals-Eurasian jays, thrushes, wood mice, and squirrels played an important role in helping the forests take shape. This handful of species provided much of the natural regeneration needed for the forest to develop. Jays, in particular, seem to have done a lot of heavy lifting. Jays are scatter-hoarders, meaning they like to store food for the winter, which they then subsequently retrieve. Or not. And when they do forget something, a seedling has a chance to grow. These flying ecosystem engineers could be a big help for reforestation.
28. What does the underlined word “shed” mean in paragraph 1
A. bring in B. shake off C. make up D. take pride in
29. What does the author want to show by providing some data in paragraph 3
A. To help the researchers monitor the two sites.
B. To show the difference between the two sites.
C. To inform us how big the two sites are.
D. To show the rapid change of the two sites.
30. What is the text mainly about
A. Jays aid reforestation. B. Jays aid protection of wildlife.
C. Researchers make home for species. D. Researchers make efforts for woodlands.
31. In which section of a website can we probably find the text
A. Mind & Brain B. Agriculture & Technology
C. Business & Industry D. Biology & Ecology
D
Researchers from the RIKEN Guardian Robot Project in Japan have created an android（机器人）child that can convey six basic emotions. The name of the android is Nikola, and the research behind its development tested how well people could identify the six facial expressions of sadness, happiness, fear, anger, surprise, and disgust.
Inside Nikola’s face are 29 pneumatic actuators（气动阀）that control the movements of artificial muscles. Another six actuators control head and eyeball movements. Pneumatic actuators are controlled by air pressure, which makes the movements silent and smooth. The team placed the actuators based on the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), which has been used extensively to study facial expressions.
Typically, studies of emotions, particularly how people react to emotions, have a problem. It is difficult to do a properly controlled experiment with live people interacting, but at the same time, looking at photos or videos of people is less natural, and reactions aren’t the same. “The hope is that with androids like Nikola, we can have our cake and eat it too,” says Sato. “We can control every aspect of Nikola’s behavior, and at the same time study live interactions.”
To achieve this, the team had to first see if Nikola’s facial expressions were understandable. The result showed that a person certified in FACS scoring was able to identify each facial action unit, which meant that Nikola’s facial movements accurately resembled a real human’s. It also demonstrated that everyday people could recognize the six emotions in Nikola’s face. With that said, some emotions like disgust proved more difficult to identify due to Nikola’s silicone skin being less elastic（弹性的）than real human skin. This meant that the android couldn’t form wrinkles very well.
“Androids that can emotionally communicate with us will be useful in a wide range of real-life situations, such as caring for older people, and can promote human wellbeing,” says Sato.
32. What do we know about Nikola’s emotional changes
A. They take place with strange noises.
B. They are conducted through air pressure.
C. They are controlled by 29 pneumatic actuators.
D. They are limited to head and eyeball movements.
33. What does Sato mean by saying “we can have our cake and eat it too” in Paragraph 3
A. We can celebrate our success by eating cakes.
B. We can have interactions with Nikola naturally.
C. We can study Nikola’s photos or videos very easily.
D. We can do a controlled experiment with live interactions.
34. What does Nikola need improving according to Paragraph 4
A. Its muscles. B. Its actuators. C. Its skin material. D. Its scoring system.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Will robots ever have emotions
B. Nikola: a new near-human machine
C. How can we read robots’ facial expressions
D. An android kid successfully conveys basic emotions

Dear Jeff,
I’m Lihua. As for your hard choice you mentioned in your last letter, I’d like to give you my recommendation-----the stage drama club. My reasons are as follows.
In the club, you can enjoy a variety of activities including watching the original drama, acting out some classical plots with your partners. Participating in it, you can be exposed to a pure Chinese environment and have a deep insight into the Chinese literature. What’s more, it is also a good way to foster the ability of self expression, thus improving self confidence. Your active participation is also helpful to your communication skills and managing interpersonal relationship.
I’m firmly confirmed that the stage drama club is the best choice for you. Looking forward to your participation.
