There are some people, who remind us that age is just a number. Johanna Quaas is a 97-year-old German woman who was recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest active competitive gymnast in 2012. Over the years, Quaas has made waves online after videos of her routines are posted from time to time.
The latest of those is a short video shared by Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis with the message “You are my spirit warrior(战士)!! Wow!! GOALS!!!” The video was shot at the German Gymnastics Festival in 2017, when the gymnast was 91.
Although the video shared by Davis has earned over 400,000 likes, this is far from being her most widely-spreading performance. Quaas first won the hearts of the world after user Lieve Daffy shared two videos of the gymnast’s floor and parallel bars(双杠)routines at Tournament of Masters in 2012, within six days of posting, they had gained over 1.1 million views each. Now, both short videos have over 3.5 million views. Her abilities have also impressed the greatest athletes in her field, such as Simone Biles, who said her parallel bars routine left her speechless.
Born in 1925. Quaas began her gymnastics training at an early age and entered her first competition when she was 10. While she spent most of her life as a gymnastics coach and handball player, she returned to active gymnastics at the age of 56. In 2015, she received the Nadia Comaneci Sportsmanship Award from the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame, before retiring from competition due to an injury in her arm in 2018.
However, that hasn’t stopped Quaas from sharing her amazing moves on Instagram, especially how she still has the ability to stand on her head. If that isn’t enough, she also stretches and plays soccer. However, the most heartwarming part of it all is the warm messages she gets from people around the world. “You’re such an example, Ms. Johanna!” writes one user, while another says, “Wishing the Best of Health to an AMAZING woman, who is my biggest inspiration! Much love.”
14. What can we learn about Johanna Quaas
A. She is 91 years old.
B. She won the Oscar Prize for playing the role of warrior.
C. She shared videos of surfing online.
D. She won popularity online.
15. What does the author want to show by offering numbers in paragraph 3

If you’ve never had hot pot, you’re absolutely missing out. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also a fantastic meal to share with friends or family. But it also generates a lot of waste oil. In fact, hot pot is reportedly responsible for 12,000 tons of waste oil per month just in the Chinese city of Chengdu alone. Instead of just throwing away that oil, one company decided to turn it into jet fuel(航空燃料).
Bloomberg recently published a great article about Sichuan Jinshang Environmental Technology, a company that began exporting hot pot waste oil to be turned into biofuel that can power planes. It’s not exactly a perfect solution to the greenhouse gas emissions that the aviation(航空)industry is responsible for, but it’s a step in the right direction. “Our mission is to make waste oil fly to the sky,” Zhong Guojun, the company’s vice president, told Bloomberg.
Based in Chengdu, Sichuan Jinshang Environmental Technology takes waste oil from around the city and refines it into something called industrial mixed oil. The refined oil is then exported to be turned into jet fuel or biodiesel(生物柴油)by companies such as BP or Neste Oyj, the biggest producer of sustainable jet fuel in the world. And with new requirements for airlines to use more biofuel in their planes, there’s a lot of demand despite the fact that it’s still more expensive than regular jet fuel.
“When there is a demand, the supply will catch up, and the demand is already here,” said Chong Cheng Tung, Associate Professor at the China-UK Low Carbon College, Shanghai Jiao Tong University told Bloomberg. “So either you switch your fuel to green fuel, like bio-jet fuel, or you have to meet additional payments for travelling.”
Last year, Neste announced plans to spend more than $2 billion expanding its capacity to produce sustainable jet fuel. By 2026, it hopes to be able to produce 1.2 million tons of the stuff. Other companies such as Chevron, BP. and Total Energies are producing it on a smaller scale(规模)but also plan to increase their output soon.
17. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Purify. B. Add. C. Pack. D. Ruin.
18. What can we infer about the green jet fuel
A. Sichuan Jinshang Environmental Technology is the biggest producer.
B. Airlines are required to use more of it or they will be fined.
C. It is cheaper than regular jet fuel.
D. Greenhouse gas emission can be greatly reduced by it.
19. The last paragraph aims to __________.
A. tell us the plan of several companies
B. show the popularity of this bio-jet fuel
C. call on more companies to follow the trend and produce green jet fuel
D. prove this green jet fuel is a perfect solution to greenhouse gas emission
20. Which can be the best title of this passage
A. Chinese company helps turn leftover hot pot oil into jet fuel
B. How was the hot pot oil turned into green jet fuel
C. A new way to produce jet fuel was discovered
D. Environmental protection calls for eco-friendly jet fuel

How to add green tech to your home
Green tech involves combining technology and science to create environmentally friendly products. The idea is by using products and services in the home to reduce energy consumption, waste, or harmful effects on the environment, we can all help the planet. 21
Install smart light bulbs
One quick way to reduce energy use is to switch all your light bulbs to energy-efficient versions called smart bulbs and use a virtual assistant to control them. These bulbs tend to use about 7 to 9.5 watts of power yet provide the same amount of light a 60-watt ordinary bulb offers. 22 Just use your phone to shut them down.
23
Smart plugs are a great option, too, for controlling devices like televisions, coffee makers, or almost anything that plugs into a wall socket to work. Devices like these use energy just by being plugged in, so using your phone or virtual assistant to turn the plugs on or off as needed helps stop energy drain in its tracks.
Upcycle or recycle your old tech
Tech is everywhere in our homes, and when a device gets old, we tend to replace it with a newer, better, faster version. It’s okay to get the latest device, but why not reuse and repurpose the older ones For example, you can upcycle your old computers and laptops by repurposing them into home security monitors. Got an old Android phone 24
It’s not hard to start adding green tech to your home. 25 Once you start, you’ll quickly see how convenient green tech can be and how easy it is to start using it.
A. Add smart plugs everywhere
B. Forgot to turn off the lights
C. Anyone can achieve it easily.
D. Upcycle it into a remote control for your TV.
E. Upcycle it instead of throwing it into the dust bin.
F. The real difficulty is in deciding to take that first small step today.
G. Below are several quick and easy ideas you can start using today.
