In England, where the modern version of the sport 3 , badminton is a lawn (草坪) game. In Asia it is a serious business.

It is little wonder then that badminton is Indonesia’s 10 . It is also the most developed in the country, which owns the only national team for which the government 11 a training centre. Parents also encourage their children to take it 12 . The rewards for skill and hard work are 13 .

It is the only sport to 15 a string of heroes; Rudy Hartono, for example, has won eight titles at the All England men’s singles, more than any other player.

My father decided to start learning French when he was 57. On the surface, his retirement hobby seems a little random — our family has no connection to French-speaking countries — but his 46 ran deeper than a passion for cakes. My grandmother developed signs of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症) in her early 70s, and studies suggest that being bilingual, that is, being able to speak two languages equally well, can 47 the start of the condition by up to five years. Drawn by that 48 benefit, many people have attempted to pick up a new language in adulthood.
Lots of activities are linked to better brain health in old age, like getting more education when you’re younger and physical activity. Experts say regularly speaking multiple languages may be especially 49 though. “We use language in all aspects of daily life, so a bilingual brain is 50 working,” said Mark Antoniou, a professor at Western Sydney University who specializes in bilingualism.
The age at which you learn another language appears to be less important than how 51 you speak it. The cognitive (认知的) benefit is from having to 52 your mother tongue, which your brain is forced to do if you’re trying to recall the right words in another language. So if the second language is used a lot, you’re getting that cognitive 53 . That process is called cognitive inhibition. In theory, by improving these types of processes, the brain becomes stronger to the 54 caused by diseases like dementia. The stronger your mental power, the thinking goes, the longer you can function normally, even if your brain health starts to 55 .
However, evidence for the benefits of learning a second language as a hobby in your 60s is 56 . Research by Dr. Antoniou and colleagues found that while Chinese adults 60 and up improved on cognition tests after a six-month language learning program, people who played games like Sudoku did as well. Two more recent studies on the topic found virtually no 57 in cognitive performance after people took part in language-learning programs.
The scientists who conducted those studies offered a few potential 58 . One is that the participants were highly motivated volunteers, who may have already been at peak performance for their age, making it hard to see any 59 . Another is that the language interventions were perhaps too short. The handful of studies looking into the issue have used language lessons that were very different in their 60 and frequency. Some studies taught participants for eight months, others for just one very intense week.
46. A. affection B. contribution C. motivation D. struggle

Sandhya Sriram is impatient. The stem-cell (干细胞) scientist wanted to put her knowledge to use, developing cultivated seafood. Yet no one was doing that in Singapore. So four years ago, she set up a company to create lab-grown crustacean (甲壳纲动物) meat. 61 , she registered her company, Shiok Meats in August 2018. “Nobody was doing crustaceans,” says Sriram, Shiok’s Group CEO and co-founder. “What do Asians eat the most Seafood. It was a simple answer. And they’re so delicious.” A lifelong 62 , she had never tried real shrimp, but she sampled it the week she registered the company.
Today, the results of her 63 can be seen at the headquarters of her company. During a fall 2022 visit, a bio-process engineer looked into a microscope carefully. He had taken samples from a bioreactor in the room next door, where the company is 64 crustacean cells. Under the lens, he was checking to see if the cells were ready to harvest.
Shiok Meats has already revealed shrimp, lobster, and crab prototypes (最初形态) to a select group of tasters, and it plans to 65 regulatory approval to sell its lab-grown shrimp by April 2023. That could make it the first in the world to bring cultivated shrimp to diners, putting it at the leading position of the cultivated-meat 66 . As of this writing, only one company has gained regulatory approval to sell lab-grown animal-protein products: Eat Jus’s cultured chicken is 67 but only in Singapore. Shiok Meats still needs to submit all the paperwork necessary and get regulatory approval, but the company hopes to see its products in restaurants by mid-2024, offering foodies a more environmentally friendly option free of 68 than crustaceans from farms.
But even if that ambitious 69 is met, it will likely be a while before the average person is eating cultivated crustaceans. It will require not just regulatory approval but also more funding and a bigger factory, along with 70 consumers and governments around the world to accept lab-grown seafood.
“We’re at an interesting stage of a startup; it’s called the Valley of Death,” says Sriram. “We are in the space where we haven’t submitted for regulatory approval yet, but we’re looking to commercialize in the next two years.” Nevertheless, the impatient entrepreneur is 71 . Sriram hopes to have the company’s next manufacturing plant ready by the end of 2023, where a 500-liter and a 2,000-liter bioreactor will be a major 72 from its current 50- and 200-liter bioreactors. The goal is for her products to enter the mainstream in Singapore in five to seven years.
73 these products could help tackle some of the environmental impacts of crustacean production. Organic waste, chemicals, and antibiotics from seafood farms can pollute groundwater. Shiok Meats says the way it produces crustacean meat minimizes animal cruelty, as growing protein in a lab helps avoid 74 animals. And cultivating shrimp closer to where it’s 75 cuts emissions from fishing-boat fuel and shipping products around the world.
In a word, when science meets seafood, many wonderful things happen naturally.

The way of recording things has never ceased to develop. In the 1980s, as sales of video recorders went up, old 8mm home movies were gradually replaced by VHS (video home system)tapes. Later, video tapes of family holidays lost their appeal and the use of DVDs 76 . Those, too, have had their day. Even those holding their childhood memories in digital files on their laptops now know these files face the risk of 77 .
Digitising historical documents brings huge benefits—files can be 78 and distributed, reducing the risk of their entire loss through physical damage caused by fire or flooding. And developing digital versions reduces 79 on the original items. The International Dunhuang Project, 80 , has digitised items like manuscripts (手稿) from the Mogao caves in China, enabling scholars from around the world to access records easily without touching the real items.
But the news that the Ministry of Justice of the UK is proposing to scan the 110 million people’s wills it holds and then destroy a handful of 81 after 25 years has shocked historians. The ministry cites this as a way of providing easier access for researchers. But that only justifies digitisation, not the 82 of the paper copies. The officials note the change will be economically efficient (saving around 4.5m a year) while keeping all the essential information.
Scholars 83 . Most significantly, physical records can themselves carry important information — the kind of ink or paper used may be part of the history that historians are 84 . and error s are often made in scanning. Besides, digital copies are arguably more 85 than the material items, just in different ways. The attack from the Internet on the British Library last October has prevented scholars from 86 digitised materials it holds: imagine if researchers could not return to the originals. Some even think digitised information can easily be lost within decades no matter what 87 are put in place.
The government says that it will save the original wills of “famous people for historic record”, such as that of Princess Diana’s. However, assuming that we know who will 88 to future generations is extraordinarily proud. Mary Seacole, a pioneering nurse who now appears on the national school course in the UK, was largely 89 for almost a century.
The digitisation of old documents is a valuable, even essential measure. But to destroy the originals once they have been scanned, is not a matter of great 90 , but of huge damage.
76. A. paused B. boomed C. recovered D. disappeared
77. A. getting outdated B. coming into style C. being fined D. making an error
78. A. deleted B. named C. copied D. altered
79. A. fight or flight B. life or death C. wear and tear D. awe and wonder
