Adelaide schoolgirl Tilly Williams, aged 11, has broken a world distance running record, beating other girls who were eight years older than her to run 5000 m in just 17 minutes and 22.7 seconds.
The Parkside Primary student beat the previous record by 19 seconds, making her the fastest distance runner under the age of 19 across 60 countries. Tilly started running just two years ago and has already shot straight to the top. When some of her friends told her about the international record, she decided to have a try while competing at the SA State Championships. Since then, she has run two to three times a week with her dad, Mark Williams, or at the Adelaide Harriers Athletics Club.
Tilly has been inspired by runners Caitlin Adams, Tara Palm, and her favourite book character,Matilda by Roald Dahl. “I could really relate to the main character Matilda because she set herself goals and worked hard to achieve them,” she said.
Tilly is set to represent South Australia in Tasmania on Friday at the National 10~12 years Track & FieldChampionships competition at Launceston. She also has dreams of competing in the 2032 BrisbaneOlympics. “In the long-term, maybe, but in the short-term, it's just achieving a goal and then getting to the next one and then achieving that: it's a long way down,” she said.
“You never think that anyone’ s going to get a world record at this age, it's just surreal,” MrWilliams, Tilly's dad said. “We' re very proud. It's very important to recognise these achievements,but also to stay very much grounded and just enjoy the other pursuits(追求) that she likes. She loves her running, but she does so many
other things as well and I think it's really important that the focus is on life rather than just one thing.”
4. Which words can best describe Tilly from paragraph 2 ( )
A. Excellent and courageous. B. Caring and grateful.
C. Humorous and careful.D. Daring and generous.
5. Why did Tilly mention Matilda ( )
A. Matilda was ambitious. B. Matilda was brave enough.
C. Matilda influenced her greatly. D. Matilda was an independent person.
6. What is Tilly's immediate future goal ( )
A. To break another world record.
B. To start a professional career in athletics.
C. To represent South Australia in a national competition.
D. To become a member of the Adelaide Harriers Athletics Club.
7. What does the underlined word“surreal” in paragraph 5 probably mean ( )
A. Expected. B. Very unusual. C. Disappointing. D. Completely normal.
C
Loss of slow-wave sleep as you age may increase your risk of developing dementia(痴呆), according to a new study.
“We found that aging was associated with a decline in the amount of the deepest stages of sleep,known as slow-wave sleep. We then found that people with greater declines in slow-wave sleep over time had a higher risk of getting dementia over the next 17 years of follow-up,” said Matthew Pase,senior author of the study.
Slow-wave sleep is the third and fourth stages of sleep, which is important for brain health. During this stage, the body removes unwanted or harmful materials from the brain. “For the brain, this deep sleep is thought to be the most restorative,” said Dr Richard Isaacson.
The researchers wanted to know whether chronic(慢性的) reductions in slow-wave sleep over time are linked to dementia risk in humans and whether dementia-related processes in the brain may contribute to getting less of this type of sleep. They studied 346 people with an average age of 69 and completed two overnight sleep studies— one between 1995 and 1998 and the second between 1998 and2001—— during which their sleep was monitored. The researchers also investigated whether any change in the amount of slow-wave sleep that participants got was associated with developing dementia up to 17years after they completed the sleep studies. By that time, 52 participants had been diagnosed with dementia. Each percentage decrease in slow-wave sleep per year was linked to a 27 percent increased risk of developing dementia. The rate of slow-wave sleep loss accelerated(加速) from the age of 60,peaked between ages 75 and 80 and slowed afterwards.
“This is an important study yet again showing the impact of quality of sleep on a person's risk of cognitive decline and dementia,” Isaacson said. “It's important to not only pay attention to the total amount of sleep a person gets each night, but also monitor sleep quality as best as possible.”
8. What can we learn from the new study ( )
A. The older you are, the less sleep you will have.
B. Slow-wave sleep has been linked to the risk of dementia.
C. The rate of slow-wave sleep loss keeps going up with age.
D. The amount of sleep has an impact on the risk of dementia.
9. How did researchers carry out their study ( )
A. By making a comparison. B. By introducing a concept.
C. By referring to another study. D. By making a survey.
10. What did Dr Richard Isaacson suggest in the last paragraph ( )
A. Sleep quality needs more attention.
B. People should have enough sleep.
C. The elderly should sleep more than the young.
D. The amount of sleep is more important than sleep quality.
11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear ( )
A. Sports. B. Health. C. Education. D. Environment.
D
No civilization is complete without legends about outer space. Our need to challenge the limits of what we know has made humans try to discover new worlds. However, outer space exploration can't be carried out without heavy investments(投资), which can sometimes become a burden for any country or institution. But this could be about to change.
Blue Origin, the space exploration company founded by American Jeff Bezos, made history on Nov23, 2015. It successfully launched a rocket to the edge of space and brought it back to Earth for a safe landing. The rocket, named New Shepard, may very well be the first successful reusable rocket in space flight history. The next step is to prove it can fly again, making sure it is indeed reusable.
“We' re getting closer to a new era of space tourism,” commented a US magazine. Reusable rockets will help companies such as Blue Origin to achieve“a cost-saving means” of transporting humans into space and back, said the magazine.
Previously, whenever a rocket had been sent into orbit, it had always been destroyed or lost in the process. Even the space shuttle, which returned to the ground undamaged and on its own power, was only partly reusable. This problem has made a single launch mission extremely expensive. A completely reusable system will make space travel more affordable and sustainable(可持续的).
Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX in private space exploration, called the idea of a reusable system“the breakthrough needed to completely change access to space” .
According to an article in The Atlantic magazine, New Shepard’ s success has ended“a private space race” between Bezos and Musk. However, according to Emily Calandrelli, host and producer ofExploration Outer Space on Fox, it is not completely fair“to compare the two companies’ achievements to date” because“their successes could be considered separate unique milestones on two different paths” . Blue Origin is aiming to sell directly to
buyers(wealthy space tourists) while SpaceX is aiming to sell to large companies and the government(NASA, the Air Force). These two ideas require very different rockets.
12. Why is outer space exploration difficult to achieve according to the text ( )
A. There are no legends about it. B. It needs a lot of money.
C. There are no good rockets. D. Humans don't have the technology pared with the past, what does reusable rockets enable companies like Blue Origin to achieve
( )
A. A newer means of running a business. B. A safer landing back to Earth.
C. A smaller investment to make profits. D. A less competition with other companies.
14. What did Emily Calandrelli mean about the two companies in the last paragraph ( )
A. They have the same goals. B. Thy are similiar in technologies.
C. They haven't ended their space race. D. They have different target customers.
15. What can be the best title of the text ( )
A. The New Form of Space Travel
B. The Rise of Private Space Exploration Companies
C. Comparing Achievements in Private Space Exploration
D. The First Successful Reusable Rocket in Space Flight History

Teamwork is a group of people working together efficiently towards a common goal. Being a master of one or a jack-of-all-trades in today's world does not bring about success if you are unable to work as part of a team. 16 So teamwork is important.
Teamwork benefits from different opinions. A team environment allows people to bring their diverse opinions on problem solving, which in turn increases their success in arriving at solutions. If you feel a sense of safe connection with your teammates, you will be more likely to confidently share your opinions without fear of judgment. 17
Teamwork can improve efficiency. One person working on a project is always going to take longer to complete it. Efficiency
rules when work is properly divided within a team, responsibilities are shared. 18 Good teamwork also increases group results.
19 People have their own skills and strengths. When the whole team works as a unit,everyone has a chance to gain new knowledge and skills from each other. This process leads to resource building and lets the team become better equipped to deal with new challenges.
Teamwork brings a bigger sense of achievement. When a team works on a project as one unit, the sense of achievement the members experience goes beyond personal achievements. 20 This is another reason why developing teamwork is worth everyone's effort.
A. Teamwork leads to learning.
B. Now, most of our work includes communicating with others.
C. Teamwork can be effective in building great work relationships.
D. And tasks are more likely to be finished within a set time period.
E. The psychological(心理的) safety in teams results in more creativity.
F. Team members encourage and support each other to improve work quality.
G. It satisfies the human desires for belonging and contributing to something greater.

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。
In a busy city, an old man rode his tricycle(三轮脚踏车) along the street. His face was full of the lines of time. His hands held the handlebars with care. He was riding to the market, and his tricycle was filled with fresh produce.
When he was wondering how much he could sell the produce for, he got distracted(思想不集中的)and the tricycle hit a car which was parked by the roadside. The old man's heart sank as he surveyed the long scratch(划痕) damaging the new paintwork of the expensive car. He stood there with worry and regret on his face. He knew the value of such a car and the potential cost of the damage. “I can't afford this,” he whispered to himself sadly.
Just then, a stranger approached the old man. The stranger, dressed in a sharp suit, looked at the scene and immediately realized the situation. “The paintwork is damaged. Can you afford to pay for the damage ” he asked gently. The old man shook his head and looked down. “No, I can't,” he replied.
The stranger looked around and spoke in a low tone. “If you can't afford it, why don't you leave Do you wait for the owner to come ” It was more of a suggestion than a question. A small smile appeared on the stranger's mouth.
The old man hesitated, torn between his sense of responsibility and the practicality of the stranger's advice. After a moment of internal struggle, he made his decision. He pulled an old plastic bag out of his pocket, then put all the money inside, which was less than twenty dollars, under the wiper(雨刷) of the car. Then, he felt the scratch on the car with his hands. With one last look at the damaged car, he began to push
his tricycle away, glancing back every few steps. 注意:1.续写词数应为 150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
After the old man went away, the stranger took out a car key The stranger pulled over and got out of the car.
