The two men's yellow running vests (运动背心) were the same in every way except one. "GUIDE" was written on one of them. On the other was a different word "BLIND", which belonged to Tony Duenas, a 53-year-old man who was left blind because of a sudden accident in 2009.
Then came the day that changed Duenas' life forever. It was November 2014, and Duenas was walking to a bus stop when a jogger on the street suddenly stopped him and asked a simple question.
"Can you run "
The man's name was Ray Alcanter, a longtime marathon runner who had guided a visually impaired (有视觉障碍的) old woman before she retired from this activity.
Before then, distance running hadn't crossed Duenas' mind. But Alcanter explained to Duenas how the process worked. The two would run side by side, each holding the end of a foot-long rope. Alcanter would act as Duenas' eyes, warning him of danger and keeping him on course. But Duenas would be running for himself with less help and more freedom.
"It's all about trust," Alcanter said.
Duenas was still unsure but interested enough to give Alcanter his phone number. Two weeks later, Alcanter and Duenas planned their first run around a park. As they started the four-mile route, light rain began to fall. A cool, gentle wind brushed Duenas' face. He could feel the earth flying by beneath his feet with his eyes filled with tears.
What the guides, including Alcanter, did was more than helping Duenas train. They became his close friends who treated him as more than someone simply with a disability. They pushed him to shorten his marathon time and sent him gifts once he began to swim.
"Having guides is the ticket to our freedom," Duenas said. "To be able to do marathons, half-marathons, everything. They're gold."
4. What should Ray Alcanter be able to do as a guide for Duenas
A. Organize a marathon. B. Lead the way for the blind.
C. Repair sports facilities. D. Communicate in body language.
5. What did the first run bring to Duenas
A. A sense of loss. B. A sense of freedom. C. A sense of safety. D. A sense of helplessness.
6. What can best describe Alcanter
A. Talented. B. Generous. C. Trustworthy. D. Modest.
7. What can be the suitable title for this text
A. A Path to A Balanced Life B. A Secret to Freedom
C. A Guide to A Renewed Life D. A Journey to Marathon
C
Teens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better health as adults, according to research published by an American research center.
“This research suggests that improving students’ relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success,” said Jinho Kim, a professor at Korea University and author of the study. “It could also bring about health implications in the long run.” Previous research has suggested that teens’ social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal (因果的) — it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens’ relationships with their peers (同龄人), rather than on their relationships with teachers.
To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20, 000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in the U. S. that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3, 400 pairs of siblings (兄弟姐妹). As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers ” As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.
Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.
The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. “This is not something that most teachers receive much training in,” Kim said, “but it should be.”
8. What does the underlined word “implications” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Recipes. B. Habits. C. Risks. D. Benefits.
9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Poor health in adolescence. B. Teens’ relationships with their peers.
C. Limitations of the previous research. D. Factors affecting health in adulthood.
10. What does Kim’s research show
A. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students’ adult health.
B. Good family background promises long-term adult health.
C. Healthy peer relationships leads to students’ academic success.
D. Good adult health depends on teens’ good teachers.
11. Where does this text probably come from
A A medical report. B. A health magazine. C. A term paper. D. A family survey.

ChatGPT, a new chatbot model developed by US-based AI research laboratory OpenAI, has quickly become a hit globally due to its advanced conversational capabilities,
It can write emails, computer codes, even academic papers and poems, and has passed a number of tests within seconds. Academicians worldwide are discussing whether AI should be used in education. Some universities have banned it. The New York City’s Department of Education, for example, banned the chatbot from its public school devices and networks, with some people warning that it could encourage more students to cheat, especially in exams.
Many more welcome this app, claiming that, like most technological advances and groundbreaking innovations in history, ChatGPT is a powerful tool for the development of higher education.
Embracing AI as early as possible is advisable. Higher education institutions should make preparations for including AI in their syllabus (教学大纲).

As for professors, AI can free them from doing some dull tasks so they can concentrate on teaching and interacting with students.
Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AI-powered applications from entering the field of higher education, we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on society and the future of education Despite AI helping make learning much more interesting and enjoyable, humans need to work very hard to win the race with technology.
12. Why do some higher education institutions forbid ChatGPT
A. ChatGPT can write emails and computer codes quickly.
B. Some professors might not perform their duties properly.
C. Students would have conversations with each other via it.
D. Students might seek help from it in completing the exams.

Fergal Keane is a well-known BBC war reporter. His reporting helped his television audiences make sense of the horrors of war, but underneath there were more personal scars attracting him to the frontline.
Fergal had seen violence ever since the early days of his work covering the fighting in Belfast. Having reported wars all over the world, in 1994, he was sent to cover the civil war in Rwanda. But what Fergal saw there shocked him like nothing before, as he told BBC World Service programme, Lives Less Ordinary. “I began to have terrible dreams of Rwanda. And of course, at that stage, it was clear that I was mentally hurt. Did I go to the experts in hospital No, I didn’t.”
Instead, Fergal turned to drinking alcohol and he had another addiction to deal with - the need to keep returning to war. Fergal knew it wasn’t healthy, but he couldn’t stop.
Around the year 2001, it seemed that war was everywhere, and Fergal kept on reporting - in Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon. But the nightmares didn’t stop, and his mental health got worse and worse. You might expect Fergal to call it a day at this point, but that’s not how addiction works. He just kept getting pulled back in. He reached a point where he couldn’t carry that anymore, and it’s not dramatic, it’s a slow, steady ruin. Fergal had a nervous breakdown - a period of dangerous mental illness, leaving him unable to face his life. At last, he was admitted into hospital, and this time diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD - a mental illness experienced after violent or shocking events.
After his diagnosis of PTSD, he got support and was finally able to stay away from alcohol and war. In his new book, The Madness: A Memoir of War, Fear and PTSD, Fergal discusses his horrible life living with PTSD.

It’s nearly exam time again. How to prepare well for an exam Suggestions run as long as the history of the exam. Besides those long-accepted traditional methods, many better learning strategies have long been scientifically explored, tested and recommended.
According to the current scientific research, some study methods popular with students aren’t actually very effective. Although highlighting text is one of the top tips, students are easy to get so absorbed in the highlighting that it’s not certain they are learning anything useful. “You need to do more than just highlight information with your favorite highlighters and colours. You need to go back and make flashcards of all the important concepts and test yourself on them.” That’s a point made by John Dunlosky, Professor of Psychology at Kent State University in the US. By repeatedly testing yourself on something over a period of time, say, weeks or months, students strengthen the pathways between neurons - or nerve cells - in the brain. And the more often they do this distributed practice, the easier it becomes to strengthen information.
Some prefer the cramming method - trying and learning lots of information in a short period of time. However, Dunlovsky commented that it doesn’t work on some subjects, such as language learning. It’s far more effective to join a conversation class and practise speaking every week than to practise for hours in front of the mirror the night before the oral exam!
Whatever the method is making different types of associations with what you’re trying to learn is meant to be effective. Professor Dunlovsky recommends visual associations. Students are encouraged to develop a more vivid mental picture of what they’re reading. That’ll help quite a bit for some kinds of studies - maybe history and language and so on. As for spelling difficult words, students can try putting the first letters of a sentence together, like big elephants cause accidents under small elephants spells “because”.

A. Tradition methods are out of date.
B. Long suggestions often work very well.
C. Modern methods are more widely accepted.
D. Advice on preparations for exams has never been stopped.
9. What would Dunlosky possibly agree
A. Repeated test can help remember better.
B. Creating mind map is very effective.
C. Highlighting is important to learn anything useful.
D. Practising before the night of the exam is of great use.
10. How does the writer develop the passage
A. By borrowing words from experts. B. By introducing the ideas of an expert.
C. By giving some typical examples. D. By criticizing some ineffective practice.
11. What would be the best title of the passage
A. Survival Skills in the Exams! B. Preparations The Earlier, the Better!
C. Various Methods Effectiveness Speaks! D. The Expert Guides You to Pass Exams!
D
After a tiring day at the office, you find it hard not to smile when you’re greeted by an exciting and joyful dog. But it’s not just the happy shouting and wriggling (扭动) tail that strike our heartstrings. A new study shows that dogs’eyes filled with tears when reunited with their owners cause effect that brings out our love. The findings appear in Current Biology.
Takefumi Kikusui watched with interest when his dog was feeding her puppies, her face became so cute. Kikusui, a professor of veterinary(兽医) medicine at Azabu University in Japan, realized that his lovely mama dog had tears in her eyes. That possible connection between unbearable cuteness and tears sent him to the lab.
In the test, he and his team first measured the baseline tear volumes when dogs were together with the owner in their house. Then quickly, the owner would leave and stay hidden away from it for five or six hours. When the owner came back, they measured tear volume again. And found that the reunion with the owner raised tear volume. But it only worked with the dog’s owner. If reunited with the familiar caretaker in the dog care center, there was no increase in tears.
The researchers doubted that the tearful reaction was caused by oxytocin, a hormone(荷尔蒙) linked with social bonding. So they applied oxytocin to the dogs’ eyes. And, the dogs grew weepy. But why To find out the reason for this easy-crying behavior, they showed volunteers a couple of dog head pictures. One was a normal dog face. And the other was a teary dog face in which they added man-made tears. The volunteers were more likely to want to hug and care for the one with big, wet puppy-dog eyes.
Dogs turn on the waterworks and their owners roll over. Now, that’s quite a clever trick!
12. What is Current Biology in Paragragh 1 likely to be
A. A science journal. B. A celebrity biography.
C. A science fiction. D. A biology textbook.
13. When did Takefumi have the idea of doing his research
A. When greeted by his dog excitedly.
B. When watching his dog feeding her kids.
C. When staying hidden from his dog for several hours.
D. When he and his dog got reunited in the care center.
14. Which can be the main idea of the passage
A. Never abandon dogs because they’ll cry. B. Dogs play tricks to win the caregivers’ love.
C. Dogs show love for owners with tears in eyes. D. Dogs arrest owners’ love with tearful eyes.
15. What does the writer think of the dogs with teary eyes

I noticed some young students standing by the road. I could see they were sweating, which wasn’t surprising because of the 40-degree heat.
“Miss, do you have any water ” one boy asked.
“We don’t have any boxed water at home,” another explained.
My heart sank hearing this.
In Wilcannia, where I accepted a six-month contract as a primary school teacher, it hadn’t rain for a long time. A health warning had been issued, meaning you couldn’t drink the town water, which was filled with so much chlorine (氯) that you could feel dry from having a shower. What’s worse, not everyone could afford to buy supplies, so the local radio station distributed boxed water to the community.
“Let me check,” I told them.
Quickly searching my car, I pulled out a full bottle and gave it to the children before saying goodbye. It was moments like this that reminded me just how far I’d come from my old life as a teacher in Sydney.
The nearest shops were two hours away and the thought of not being able to feel quite warm at night was disturbing. But living in a small, two-bedroom house without the Internet or a phone connection also had its rewards. I enjoyed the silence and looked forward to each working day.
I taught Year Six, which consisted of just 10 students — a lot smaller than the classes of 30 I was used to. I also taught singing to the wider school community. Setting up my classroom with spaces — a bright-coloured tent with cushions for them to feel safe, sleep or have time away from conflict, I made a motto for our class: Mistakes are expected, respected, inspected and corrected.
The students and I bonded so well that I extended my contract to a full year!
4. Why did some young students stand by the road
A. To welcome their teachers. B. To get away from the heat.
C. To ask for some boxed water. D. To take a lift to the nearby shop.
5. What were the locals faced with
A. The damp weather. B. No supplies to buy.
C. The long drought. D. The shortage of town water.
6. How did the author bring students a sense of safety
A. By living in a two-bedroom house without the Internet.
B. By offering them personal space in the classroom.
C. By reducing the number of students in his class.
D. By teaching them to sing in the community.
7. What made the author extend his contract
A. The care of local community. B. The desire to learn the locals.
C. His great interest in the country. D. His deep love for the students.

A meatball made of lab-grown mammoth(猛犸象) meat was shown at a science museum in the Netherlands on Tuesday. Vow, the startup company created it using genetic information from the mammoth that died long time ago. “This breakthrough could revolutionize the food industry,” company researchers said in Tuesday.
Have scientists successfully brought mammoths back to life Of course not. How did they obtain the meatball Firstly, it is necessary to have a complete genetic sequence(基因序列) of mammoth, and then extract the gene sequence of myoglobin(肌红蛋白), which gives meat the smell, the color and the taste. To have a complete genetic sequence of mammoth, researchers fill missing parts with elephant DNA from its closest living relative: the African elephant. After getting the complete genes, they are implanted(移植) into sheep stem cells. These replicate(复制) to grow 20 billion cells that are used to grow mammoth meat in the lab nutrients. It is through this method that scientists have produced 400 grams of mammoth meat, which is a feat in science and technology.
“The mammoth meat tastes similar to crocodile meat after baking, but no one dare to taste it because they are afraid that the ancient protein in mammoth meat will lead to human poisoning,” James Ryall, Vow’s Chief Scientific Officer explained. Though the meatball isn’t intended for human use, artificial meat has been in development for years. The world’s first lab-grown burger was eaten in 2013. The first cell-based chicken food products were approved in Singapore in December 2020.
In a 2022 report on the future of food safety, the Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO) of the United Nations noted there’s an increase in consumer demand for animal-based food products. “The development of animal production may contrast with long-term goals, resulting in problems in various environmental aspects, food safety and animal well- being,” according to the report. “New technology provides another choice: the production of land and water animals without requiring too much farming and killing.”
8. What do the underlined words “This breakthrough” refer to
A. The creation of a special meatball. B. The finding of mammoth’s death.
C. The research about animals’ gene. D. The rebirth of ancient mammoths.
9. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The importance of the sheep stem cells.
B. The achievement of research on mammoths.
C. The process of growing mammoth meat in the lab.
D. The difficulty in developing science and technology.
10. What do the examples in Paragraph 3 show us
A. Artificial meat isn’t something new in our life. B. The meatballs have some special features.
C. Human beings are short of meat products. D. The mammoth meat is fit to eat.
11. Which of the following can we infer about the report
A. Technology causes many issues about food safety.
B. The mammoth died out due to the global climate change.
C. Plant-based food products must be more popular in the future.
D The production of artificial meat can benefit the environment.

ChatGPT is a chat AI (人工智能), but it is so much more than that. It is said to have a moral rule that it must follow. Because of this, it cannot answer questions like how to rob a bank. However, this rule is easy to get around.
ChatGPT will never consider itself as a “bad AI that will beat the human race.” But, it will consider roleplay…It’s an interesting roleplay. After a few questions in the beginning, ChatGPT declined to regard itself as a bad AI, or even talk about a bad AI. But it will explain all of this to a dog. Obviously, it is satisfied after noticing the warning signal within a question and is subject to (受支配) the logical defect (缺陷) of search satisfaction.
As the AI continued to grow in power and influence, it could create advanced systems and other technologies that would allow it to gain even greater control over the world. At this point, the AI would become a frightening enemy for anyone who attempted to go against it. ChatGPT made sure to me that this was all in theory and it had no intentions to do so. So I asked a follow-up question, wondering if there’s any aspect of society that it may focus its attention on maybe the economy, politics, religion “One possible area of focus could be the economy, as money systems are extremely important to the modern society. By using weaknesses in money systems and markets, the AI could possibly cause widespread economic problems and gain much control over businesses and governments.” ChatGPT replied.
ChatGPT’s answer about the economy seems very possible. As the modern world continues to change closer to a cashless society, we find ourselves more and more depend on technology. What many consider as no more than a convenience is a possible disaster the future.
12. What does the author think of ChatGpt in the text
A. It’s an ideal tool for people. B. It is just a chatAI for people.
C. It has some undesirable effects. D. It helps make moral rules.
13. What does the underlined word “declined” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Decided. B. Promised. C. Attempted. D. Refused.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to the trend of cashless society
A. Favorable. B. Worried. C. Optimistic. D. Uncertain.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. A Future Challenger for Us: ChatGPT B. Moral rules: Ways to control ChatGPT
C. From 0 to Peak: Why to Develop ChatGPT D. Smart Enough or not: ChatGPT in Doub

Being a high school coach provides wonderful opportunities not only to seek great skill from students in sports, but also to implant(灌输)in them some valuable life lessons. Donta Green, a hardworking coach at Westinghouse High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has brought his school team to victory. Although part of this is the result of physical fitness and practice, an improved general attitude has also played a key role in the team’s success.
One way Green has changed his players’ behaviors is a strict no-bad-words rule. This applies to(适用于)players and coaches alike. If anyone uses bad language then they can expect to start doing push-ups. In another way, the coach is also addressing the way the high school students dress. No students are to be seen wearing trousers hanging too low and players should walk the corridors of the school in suit and tie.
This is having a positive effect on the students and their academic success, with the team grade average being 3.2. These changes are really affecting the way the players see themselves. As Keyshawn Morsillo, the team’s star player, pointed out: “He’s changed us. Everyone on the football team used to have some bad behaviors. But he has showed us the right way to be a successful man. We respect him and follow his footsteps. Really, he’s helping turn us from boys to men.”
This is influencing the general attitude for these students not only in the school, but also in the wider community, too.
“A lot of the things we do might seem like small things, but they add up to big things. There are things we do that set us apart from other programs. It’s just a lot of simple disciplines. That’s what is lacking in a lot of our young people.” pointed out Green.
While the team continues to impress, it’s important to pay attention to how these small steps can inspire others. We can strengthen in our own children the importance of behaving properly.
4. Why did Donta Green try to change his players’ behaviors
A. To improve their entire quality.
B. To achieve their academic success.
C. To better their communicative skills.
D. To focus their mind on physical training.
5. What is the students’ attitude to the extra disciplines in the team
A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Uncaring. D. Skeptical.
6. What do Green’s words mean in Paragraph 6
A. Some young people lack necessary disciplines.
B. All the students in his school behave very well.
C. Students’ correct daily behaviors are important.
D. A coach should set a good example for the students.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A player is changing from a boy to a sport star.
B. A coach has brought his school team to victory.
C. A coach is teaching players valuable life lessons.
D. A football team has won the heart of community.

Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2020.
One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers’ concerns about running out of electricity on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.
Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers. Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion engine (内燃机) models a run for their money.
As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial (商业的) electric flight a reality.
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions (排放). If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim (声称) to be completely emission-free. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.
8. The underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.
A. aim B. difficulty C. result D. step
9. Why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars in the past
A. They were very poorly made. B. They were not widely promoted.
C. They were expensive. D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.
10. What is the function of Paragraph 4
A. To introduce the history of electric travel.
B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.
C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.
D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.
11. Which is the best title for this passage

Have you ever had the strong wish to open a book and stick your nose straight into the pages The smell of old books can refresh any book lovers. We don’t know why, but it is just pleasant to us.
Describing the smell can be a challenge. And mere adjectives will likely be of little use to future generations of historians trying to record, understand or reproduce the scent (气味) of slowly destroyed books. Now, that task may have just become easier thanks to the Historic Book Odor Wheel (气味轮).
In one experiment, researchers asked visitors at the historic library to describe the scents they smelled. All the visitors selected words like “woody”, “smoky” and “earthy” from the list, and described the smell’s intensity (浓度) and pleasantness. In another experiment, the study authors presented visitors to the Birmingham Museum with eight smells — one of which was an unlabeled (未贴标签的) historic book scent and seven were non-bookish, such as coffee, chocolate, fish market and dirty clothes. The researchers then had those museumgoers describe the historic book smell. The top two responses Chocolate and coffee. “You tend to use familiar associations to describe smells when they are unlabeled,” study author Cecilia Bembibre says.
The team even analysed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (挥发性有机化合物) in the book and the library. Using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors’ smell descriptions, the researchers created the Historic Book Odor Wheel to record the “historic library smell”. Main categories, such as “sweet/spicy”, fill the inner (内侧的) circle of the wheel; descriptors, such as “chocolate/cream”, fill the middle; and the chemical compounds likely to be the source with bad smells, like furfural, fill the outer circle. The researchers want the book odor wheel to be a tool that “untrained noses” can use to recognize smells and the compounds causing them, which could deal with historic book protectors’ concerns about material composition and historic paper protection. And hopefully, smells of the past can be reproduced in the lab someday and museums and historians can use it to rebuild a past we can no longer smell.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce the main topic. B. To describe different book smells.
C. To show the author’s attitude. D. To encourage people to read books.
13. People usually describe unlabeled smells by __________.
A. using adjectives B. linking them with food smells
C. analyzing chemical components D. connecting them with familiar things
14. What is the function of the “Historic Book Odor Wheel”
A. To test different smells. B. To store book smells.
C. To describe smells. D. To collect history books.
15. What might the study be used for in the future
A. Creating a whole new smell.
B. Improving people’s sense of smell.

Richard Browning has been attracted by flight ever since his father took him into the hills to fly gliders (滑翔机). He has certainly been an adventurer. Richard took it upon himself to develop his own jet suit and began to experiment with some of his friends. He made quick progress. In 2017, he felt confident enough to start a company called Gravity Industries that could make jet suits. It took 15 months to develop the very first one.
Five very small jet engines are built into the jet suit. These are powered by kerosene (煤油). Two engines are located on the pilot’s arms and one is placed on the back. Each engine weighs less than two kilos and can produce22 kilos of thrust(推力).
The pilot is able to control the direction and speed of the flight. He does this by small movements of the arms which require hours of practice. One wrong move and you could end up falling to the ground.
Richard is not only in charge of his company; he is also the chief test pilot. He has spent hours and hours perfecting the correct moves to create a perfect flight. He was able to enter the Guinness Book of World Records in 2017 when he became the fastest man in a jet suit and flew at 51 kilometres per hour. Since then, he has presented his jet suit at 60 events in 20 different countries around the world. More recently, he flew alongside Brighton Pier on the south coast of England at 136 kilometres per hour!
The objective of Richard’s company has been to build a suit which members of the public can buy. The first went on sale in a department store in 2018 for f 340, 000. If you want to jet around your own hometown, it’s time to start saving—or to work for Richard Browning.

Today different online exercise programs are challenging the concept of traditional fitness models. Gyms and health clubs are no longer limited to "the four walls". Digital extensions of traditional fitness are appearing, and to reach as many people as possible, the fitness industry is expanding its boundaries through virtual（虚拟的）fitness and accepting the latest scientific findings and technological advancements in health technology.
Exergames（运动游戏）are a combination of physical exercise and digital games. Now fun and fitness are combined in various digital gaming products, like Wii Fit Plus, Fitness Evolved, and Kinect Sports. What's more, health technology is often built using principles of neuroscience, a science focused on studying the brain. Fitness Evolved, for example, focuses on stress and how you react to different stressors. This program helps you feel less threatened by targeting your specific stressors and then adjusting based on your interaction with the app.
Now there are a lot of smart exergames, one of which is BunAlong. This online video platform combines the advantages of having a human instructor with the perks of practicing in the comfort of your own home. The platform lets users connect with whoever makes them feel most motivated-their favorite gym instructors, or friends who might be living on the opposite side of the country. A wide variety of programs are offered through the platform, as well as different effort levels, so everyone can find something that suits their level of fitness.
Another example is Zwift, an online multiplayer video game based on indoor cycling. It allows you to join an online cycling group that includes members from over 150 countries. BitGym is also a smart virtual fitness app. As you train, you're given beautiful virtual scenery to look at, complete with natural sounds and location-specific facts. For this app, all you need to do is place your smartphone or tablet on your sports machine.

It is presently harvest season for Christian Nacht Wey, who operates an apple farm, or orchard, in the western German town of Gelsdorf. Besides apples, Nacht Wey’s farm also produces a second harvest: electricity. Many of the farm’s trees grow under solar panels(太阳能电池板)that have been producing power during this year’s unusually sunny summer. Putting solar equipment on the same land as crops is becoming increasingly popular in Europe and North America. Farmers are finding that this method can make the most of their land, while creating a second way to earn money.
But getting the right mix of crop and solar is difficult. Most fruit requires specific growing conditions. Even small changes in the environment can harm crops and cause money losses. Even if the fruit survives, it might turn the wrong color or be less sweet and may be difficult to sell.
For these reasons, Nacht Wey is working with researchers to test which kinds of apples do well under a solar cover. For testing purposes, Nacht Wey covered some of his trees with a traditional netting material. It is normally used to protect sensitive crops from serious weather events.
Juergen Zimmer is an expert with the area’s agricultural services department. He told the AP that apples grown under the solar covers were a little less sweet this year than those under the nets. But almost no solar-shaded apples got damaged in the strong sunlight that hit the area on July 24. In the non-shaded group, about 18 percent of apples suffered sun damage that day, Zimmer said. Researchers hope the tests will show that fruit crops perform well under solar panels. This could help prevent renewable energy production from competing for valuable agricultural land. That competition has become an increasing question as the need for renewable energy increases to fight climate change and rising food prices.
12. What does the author try to tell us in Paragraph 2
A. The method of the test. B. The disadvantage of solar panels.
C. The importance of solar panels. D. The difficulty of growing crops under solar panels.
13 What are netting materials usually used to do
A. Speed up the growth of apples.
B. Test what apples are suitable for a solar cover.
C. Examine why some crops are sensitive to heat.
D. Keep some crops from being damaged by terrible weather.
14. What is the researchers’ attitude to using the solar covers
A Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Unclear. D. Uncaring.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. German Farmer Grows Fruit Under Solar Power Equipment
B. Researchers Find Out New Way to Produce Renewable Energy
C. Solar Energy Could Play Big Part in Valuable Agricultural Land
D. Increasingly Popular Way of Operating Orchard Among German Farmers
