A Guide to Botany: Online Botanical Painting Session
Our Guide to Botany class is back online! Join us for this unique lecture and Botanical Painting session!
This lecture and all our classes are now “pay what you can”. We suggest a donation of 8 but if you are having a tough time with money, even 5 is still amazing, or please feel free to consider this one on the house.
Drawing from both the rich history of female Botanical Art, as well as the inspiring stories of women botanical explorers, this class will be a great opportunity to immerse (沉浸) yourself in the work of artists such as Maria Sybilla Merian, Marianne North, Rachel Ruysch and others!
The session will include a short lecture during which you will be able to make quick sketches (素描) if you choose from your own collections of plants, leaves and flowers, and then students will be guided through some basic watercolour techniques and exercises.
Materials:
You will need a variety of plants, flowers, leaves or dried flowers to work from! You don't need too many, just enough to make an interesting arrangement, but if you're really caught short, just one or two houseplants will be fine.

A variety of brushes, from mop-headed to thin detail brushes

In June 2017, we began the trip of a lifetime, exploring the history of the Silk Road in China. Arriving in rural Wuwei in Gansu, our guide got some lunch spot tips from a group of locals, and we were soon enjoying a hearty meal of handmade noodles. I came to learn that we were served first because we were guests in town. I was surprised by these small gestures which made me feel so warmly welcomed.
Well-fed, we headed to the Tiantishan Grottoes, some of the earliest grottoes built in China. We descended steep steps into a cavernous dam (水坝), initially built to supply water to the local community. This dam houses a series of enormous statues, the largest of which is the Sakyamuni Buddha.
The next day, we arrived at the Jiayuguan Fortress. This was the primary transportation node linking the East and West along the ancient Silk Road. Once we'd exited the gate, we were greeted with the sight of the Gobi Desert stretching before us.
Our fifth day took us to the Yumen Pass and the Dunhuang Yardang National Geopark. An expedition (探险) wouldn't be deserving of its name without encountering all weathers, but it was nevertheless with some fear that I stepped out into a sandstorm that morning. Thankfully, many of our group were well-prepared with face masks and caps. I, on the other hand, was not as equipped, so I was quite happy to seek refuge (避难) in the hotel at the end of the day — and empty out the dust that had gathered in my ears! This was, admittedly, the low point of the trip.
The next day's visit to the Mogao Caves was the definitive highlight of the trip. Upon entering the dry, cool caves, it's as though you've been teleported into another world: It's a labyrinth (迷宫) of ancient artwork with 45,000 square metres of murals and statues.
We ended our trip by crossing the Yellow River in rafts. I learned an extraordinary amount about the Silk Road, but, moreover, I got to explore this part of China with a great group of like-minded people.

25. What can be learned about the dam

D. He got depressed by the terrible weather.
27. What is the best title for the text

Drug Administration) clearance for its first device, a smart cap for inhalers (吸入器) used by people with pulmonary (肺部的) disease. The device, called CapMedic, sits on top of the inhaler and houses sensors that guide users and collect data for remote patient monitoring.
As Cognita Labs moves forward, it faces some large competitors. Chief among them is Propeller Health. Others include New York-based Cohero Health and New Zealand-based Adherium. The market is expected to hit $152.9 million in sales worldwide by 2023, up from $23.8 million in 2017, according to research firm KD Market Insights. Another firm, Global Market Insights, sees the smart inhaler market reaching $260 million by 2025.
Despite competing devices, there are big differences, Cognita Labs' co-founder Gaurav Patel argued. While other devices track patient usage and other data, CapMedic is the first one designed to communicate directly to patients and help them use inhalers more effectively, said Patel.
The reusable and rechargeable caps send signals that let users know when an inhaler has been adequately shaken and is fully upright. It costs $99, fits most inhalers on the market and is paired with a smartphone app that can send data back to a doctor, Patel said.
The company cites studies that show up to 90% of patients use inhalers incorrectly, reducing the amount of medication that reaches their lungs.
A smart device could prove helpful, said Dr. Marilyn Li, co-director of the Los Angeles Breathmobile Program. CapMedic could be particularly good for the tech-savvy or those good with technology, she added. But she did not think smart devices would be able to replace face-to-face education by providers.
The device is currently being tested at Ventura County Medical Center. The test is demonstrating whether the use of CapMedic leads to improved inhaler use, Patel said.
In the meantime, Cognita Labs is working on a second device called PulmoScan. The device is designed to make pulmonary testing faster and easier for patients such as young children and the elderly who may struggle with existing devices.
28. How is the smart inhalers' market going according to KD Market Insights
A. It is growing fast.
B. It faces uncertainty.
C. It has come to a standstill.
D. It is experiencing a downturn.
29. What do we know about CapMedic
A. It is designed by New York-based Cohero Health.
B. It enables a more effective use of inhalers.
C. It fails to fit most inhalers on the market.
D. It is a single-use cap for inhalers.
30. What did Dr. Marilyn Li say about CapMedic
A. It could replace face-to-face treatments.
B. It would be useless for most patients.
C. It required technological skills.
D. It was dangerous for children.
31. What will Cognita Labs do next
A. Figure out whether the device can improve patients' health.
B. Design a device that is accessible to more people.
C. Test the existing device at more hospitals.
D. Raise money for its research.

Since Egypt and China started diplomatic (外交的) relations in May 1956, the two countries have seen great development in all fields. The first Egyptian educational and cultural mission arrived in China in 1956, and in the same year the Egypt-China Friendship Association was established.
The 21st century has so far seen the implementation (实施) of several programmes for joint cultural cooperation between Egypt and China. This has covered the field of art, culture, antiquities and tourism, and has seen experts in conservation conduct exchange visits.

According to the Chinese Embassy in Cairo, there are two Confucius Institutes in Egypt, located at Cairo University and the Suez Canal University, in addition to three independent Confucius classrooms. A total of 16 universities either have established Chinese language departments or are teaching the language as part of their curriculums (课程). The Chinese government has also built two schools as part of an educational aid programme for Egypt.

The woman bringing Mandarin to Uganda
Wang Lihong Sooma, who moved to East Africa from China more than two decades ago, is determined to teach Ugandans how to speak Mandarin. 36 The first 30 teachers have now completed their training and have started
holding Mandarin classes in schools across the country.
Forty more teachers are now enrolled (入学) and classes start at 8:00 and finish at 22:00 from Monday to Friday. 37 However, Pavin Mulokwa, a teacher from Mbarara, sees it as an opportunity to broaden her job prospects. Another trainee, Praise Twebaze, agrees and hopes it will enable him to travel too.
38 Gao Yahui, who has been teaching Mandarin in Uganda for a year, says it has changed her understanding of Africa. From Xi'an city in central China, the 39-year-old left her husband and child behind to come and teach but was warned by her family and friends not to because of “diseases and war”. “39 When I go back to China, I will introduce the real Africa to the people in China and change their way of looking at Africa.”
Wang's goal is to have 100 teachers trained up and teaching Mandarin in 50 Ugandan schools by 2021. She sees it as a win-win situation, giving the example of how Chinese have benefited from learning English. “40 We learnt their technology and skills and then we developed.”
A. They learn our language.
B. I just think in the same way.
C. We learnt their language and we understood them.
D. When I came here, it changed my fixed ideas about African people.
E. It is not just Ugandans who see this course as a life-changing opportunity.
F. She and her husband are organising nine-month courses for teachers to learn Mandarin.
G. To become fluent and be able to teach a language within nine months is a huge undertaking.

Mum was in a hurry as usual, but as she rushed them down the street, Magnus and Mina couldn't resist peeking (偷看) through the window of the pet shop on the corner.
“Mum, are you SURE we can't have a pet ” Mina asked. “NO! Daddy is allergic to cats and dogs!” said Mum.
Five minutes later, they were outside Magnus and Mina's grandad's place — an old repair garage on a road just off the high street. Grandad had retired, but he lived in the flat above and kept the workshop for his hobby: fixing up old cars!
Mum used her key to open the door and they went inside. An old car was in the middle of the floor. Then they heard a sound from somewhere under the car. “Who's there Is that you, M and M ” Grandad Eric's head appeared from behind the car. He smiled when he saw them, and wiped his greasy (沾油污的) face with an old cloth.
“Hello kids!”
Mum was moving towards the door of the garage. “Thank you for taking the kids for the weekend, Dad — something came up and I have to go away for work!” Grandad just smiled. “No problem at all, sweetie!”
Once Mum had left, Magnus and Mina had a good look around. Mina was excited. At school she had taken a technology and design course where they had learned how to design and build simple robots, and she wanted to make one of her own. She shouted over to Grandad, “Grandad, can we use some of these spare bits over here I promise we won't make a mess!” Grandad replied, “Of course, but be careful!”
“Do you have a plan, sister ” Magnus looked at his sister. “I sure do! Mum said we couldn't get a pet, but she didn't say that we couldn't make one!” Magnus's eyes widened. “A robot pet ” “Yeah, a dog-cat,” replied Mina. “Brilliant! You build it, and I can program it!” said Magnus.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

Dear Leo,
The myth I want to share with you is “Kuafu Chasing the Sun”. Kuafu decided to chase and catch the sun to bring bright light and warmth to the world forever. He nearly caught up with the sun, but it was so hot that he felt extremely thirsty. He drank up all the water in the Yellow River and Wei River but died of thirst before he arrived at the enormous lake. His cane turned into a peach orchard, satisfying the thirst of passers-by.
I appreciate Kuafu's spirit of sacrifice and dedication very much. How about you
Yours,
Li Hua

Before long, Mina finished and Magnus and Mina admired the work. It wasn't very pretty. Maybe it had some problems, but it wasn't bad for a first robot! “Now it's your turn, Magnus!” Mina said to her brother. “Program it to act like a real dog-cat!” Magnus pulled out his computer and started to work. He programmed and reprogrammed, and finally, the dog-cat began to move around. The kids were extremely excited. Suddenly, the robot turned off.
Grandad Eric came over to see the dog-cat and collected the turned-off robot. “You kids made something amazing, but you didn't think it through!” He patted the creature's heads. “You wanted to make it behave like cats and dogs at the same time, so it got confused!” Mina and Magnus looked a bit embarrassed. “We didn't think about that,” said Magnus, and Mina added, “We got too excited.” Grandad Eric smiled. “We can reprogram your new pet — and teach it one thing at a time, to make sure it is happy and knows how to behave properly!” Magnus and Mina nodded and said, “Thanks Grandad!”

The woman bringing Mandarin to Uganda
Wang Lihong Sooma, who moved to East Africa from China more than two decades ago, is determined to teach Ugandans how to speak Mandarin. 36 The first 30 teachers have now completed their training and have started
holding Mandarin classes in schools across the country.
Forty more teachers are now enrolled (入学) and classes start at 8:00 and finish at 22:00 from Monday to Friday. 37 However, Pavin Mulokwa, a teacher from Mbarara, sees it as an opportunity to broaden her job prospects. Another trainee, Praise Twebaze, agrees and hopes it will enable him to travel too.

From Xi'an city in central China, the 39-year-old left her husband and child behind to come and teach but was warned by her family and friends not to because of “diseases and war”. “39 When I go back to China, I will introduce the real Africa to the people in China and change their way of looking at Africa.”
Wang's goal is to have 100 teachers trained up and teaching Mandarin in 50 Ugandan schools by 2021. She sees it as a win-win situation, giving the example of how Chinese have benefited from learning English. “40 We learnt their technology and skills and then we developed.”
A. They learn our language.
B. I just think in the same way.
C. We learnt their language and we understood them.
D. When I came here, it changed my fixed ideas about African people.
E. It is not just Ugandans who see this course as a life-changing opportunity.
F. She and her husband are organising nine-month courses for teachers to learn Mandarin.
G. To become fluent and be able to teach a language within nine months is a huge undertaking.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mum was in a hurry as usual, but as she rushed them down the street, Magnus and Mina couldn't resist peeking (偷看) through the window of the pet shop on the corner.
“Mum, are you SURE we can't have a pet ” Mina asked. “NO! Daddy is allergic to cats and dogs!” said Mum.
Five minutes later, they were outside Magnus and Mina's grandad's place — an old repair garage on a road just off the high street. Grandad had retired, but he lived in the flat above and kept the workshop for his hobby: fixing up old cars!
Mum used her key to open the door and they went inside. An old car was in the middle of the floor. Then they heard a sound from somewhere under the car. “Who's there Is that you, M and M ” Grandad Eric's head appeared from behind the car. He smiled when he saw them, and wiped his greasy (沾油污的) face with an old cloth.
“Hello kids!”
Mum was moving towards the door of the garage. “Thank you for taking the kids for the weekend, Dad — something came up and I have to go away for work!” Grandad just smiled. “No problem at all, sweetie!”
Once Mum had left, Magnus and Mina had a good look around. Mina was excited. At school she had taken a technology and design course where they had learned how to design and build simple robots, and she wanted to make one of her own. She shouted over to Grandad, “Grandad, can we use some of these spare bits over here I promise we won't make a mess!” Grandad replied, “Of course, but be careful!”
“Do you have a plan, sister ” Magnus looked at his sister. “I sure do! Mum said we couldn't get a pet, but she didn't say that we couldn't make one!” Magnus's eyes widened. “A robot pet ” “Yeah, a dog-cat,” replied Mina. “Brilliant! You build it, and I can program it!” said Magnus.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Before long, Mina finished and Magnus and Mina admired the work.

Dear Leo,
The myth I want to share with you is “Kuafu Chasing the Sun”. Kuafu decided to chase and catch the sun to bring bright light and warmth to the world forever. He nearly caught up with the sun, but it was so hot that he felt extremely thirsty. He drank up all the water in the Yellow River and Wei River but died of thirst before he arrived at the enormous lake. His cane turned into a peach orchard, satisfying the thirst of passers-by.
I appreciate Kuafu's spirit of sacrifice and dedication very much. How about you
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Before long, Mina finished and Magnus and Mina admired the work. It wasn't very pretty. Maybe it had some problems, but it wasn't bad for a first robot! “Now it's your turn, Magnus!” Mina said to her brother. “Program it to act like a real dog-cat!” Magnus pulled out his computer and started to work. He programmed and reprogrammed, and finally, the dog-cat began to move around. The kids were extremely excited. Suddenly, the robot turned off.
Grandad Eric came over to see the dog-cat and collected the turned-off robot. “You kids made something amazing, but you didn't think it through!” He patted the creature's heads. “You wanted to make it behave like cats and dogs at the same time, so it got confused!” Mina and Magnus looked a bit embarrassed. “We didn't think about that,” said Magnus, and Mina added, “We got too excited.” Grandad Eric smiled. “We can reprogram your new pet — and teach it one thing at a time, to make sure it is happy and knows how to behave properly!” Magnus and Mina nodded and said, “Thanks Grandad!”
