People in a courtroom (法庭) were left astonished after an emotional reunion between a judge and one of her old classmates caught following an alleged burglary (涉嫌盗窃) .
Arthur Booth aged 49 was arrested (逮捕) on Monday after being spotted driving a car that looked like the one used in a robbery and failing to stop after a police officer ordered him to pull over. A police chase followed, resulting in two accidents before he crashed the car. He ran away but was finally caught and faced several charges.
US judge Mindy Glazer was taking charge of the case. When Arthur Booth was taken into court, the judge looked at him for a moment or two and then asked, “Did you go to Nautilus Middle School ” “Oh my goodness, ” replied Mr. Booth several times, at first with smiles and then breaking down in tears. He repeatedly cried “Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. ”
In the heartbreaking scene judge Glazer expressed her disappointment at the situation. “I always used to wonder what happened to you, sir, ” she told him. “I'm sorry to see you here. ” Mr Booth covered his head and cried as Glazer told the court, “This was the nicest kid in middle school. ” The judge said, “He was the best kid in middle school. I used to play football with him, all the kids, and look what has happened. ” Glazer said as Mr Booth continued to cry. “What's sad is how old we've become. Good luck to you sir, I hope you are able to come out of this and just lead a lawful life. ”
Arthur Booth said, “Mindy has given me great encouragement. I will not give up my life. Now it is a new start for me.” Arthur Booth was a very good student, but in order to satisfy his gambling (赌博) addiction, he always engages himself in some stealing activities. As a result, he has to waste his good time in prison. Now his family hopes that the appearance of their old classmates and his own guilt can awaken his conscience.

Art can be found almost everywhere on Earth. There are statues on mountaintops, sculptures under the sea, and art shows held in the middle of deserts. A group of over 30,000 artists has recently come together to place their works in a completely new location — the Moon. The project, named the Lunar Codex (月球密典), is dividing pieces they have gathered into five collections. The first one, the Orion (猎户座) Collection, was already sent into space to move around the Moon in 2022 on NASA's Orion spacecraft. The other four will be flown to different destinations on the Moon in future landing tasks.
The Lunar Codex was founded by Canadian physicist, artist, and big businessman Samuel Peralta. Growing up with a love for both writing poetry and learning about space, Peralta dreamed of sending his poems to the Moon one day. Upon discovering that some lunar landing tasks were selling spare goods space on the ships, he booked places on five tasks. While the primary goals of these tasks are to transport lunar landers for scientific experiments, private organizations have been given the opportunity to buy any spare goods space for various purposes.
The artwork included in the Lunar Codex stands for different kinds of artists and artistic forms. The collections at present have works from over 162 different countries. These include works from painters, photographers, writers, filmmakers, and more. The size of each piece of artwork will be miniaturized onto special plates that can be read with a microscope, a tool used in scientific study for making things look larger. Content such as music and movies will be saved on digital cards instead.
While the idea of humanity colonizing (殖民于) the Moon was long just thought of as science fiction, countries worldwide are now seriously considering this possibility. Samuel Peralta hopes that the Lunar Codex can be the start of art and culture and later even humanity colonization on the Moon.
8. How did Samuel Peralta realize his dream
A. By writing a book of poems about space.
B. By founding a space transportation company.
C. By travelling through NASA’s Orion spacecraft.
D. By buying spare goods space on lunar landing tasks.
9. What does the underlined word “miniaturized” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Reduced. B. Simplified. C. Copied. D. Enlarged.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Colonizing the moon is just a human imagination at present.
B. The idea of colonizing the moon has been a popular scientific theory.
C. The Moon is always considered an ideal location for human colonization.
D. The Lunar Codex may be the beginning of humanity colonizing the moon.
11. What is the best title of the text
A. The Task of NASA B. Art on the Moon
C. An Art and Space Lover D. The Moon Colonization
D
Killer whales are mama’s boys. A son will follow his mother, taking bits of fish and other food, throughout his life, even as his sisters grow up and have babies of their own. This neediness comes at a significant cost to mom, who gives up having additional children to look after her boy, according to a new study.
Michael Weiss has observed the mother-son bond (纽带) in killer whale groups off the Pacific coast of North America. These animals live for tens of years, yet even fully grown males “act like little kids around their mom, swimming right beside her like they’re still babies”.
Weiss wanted to know whether these children came at a cost — particularly, whether they hurt a mother’s fertility (生育能力) . He and his team studied 40 years’ worth of data on three Pacific pods (小群动物) . Sure enough, the team found a “huge effect”.
In a given year, mothers of sons were less than half as likely to have another baby as were childless females or mothers of daughters. Noticeably, both a 3-year-old son and an 18-year-old son lowered their mom’s chances of having more children, Weiss says.
The researchers suggest mom’s favoritism toward her boys developed because of the particular social structure of these pods. When a daughter gives birth, her babies stay in the same group and therefore compete with the rest for food and attention. By contrast, a son doesn’t bring more mouths into the group — he mates with females in passing pods who then go on to raise children in their own social units.
His kids are thus “someone else’s problem”, Weiss explains. So, it makes sense for mom to give more energy to him than to his sisters if she wants as many grandchildren as possible with the least competition. The team didn’t find out exactly how sons prevented their mothers from having more babies. Weiss says he hopes to do more research in different species of whales. But now, killer whales remain an extreme example of parental care across the animal kingdom. “In other animals,” he says, “at some point, you just stop depending on your mom as much.”
12. What's the main topic of the article
A. The social structure of killer whale pods.
B. The difference in parental care across different whales.
C. The behavior of male killer whales towards their mothers.
D. The impact of mother-son bond on female killer whales’ fertility.
13. What can we learn about a mother killer whale’s chance of having more babies
A. A mother of a son won’t have another baby. B. It is obviously reduced when she has a son.
C. A mother of daughters has the least chance. D. It changes with the social structure of the pod.
14. Why do mother killer whales favor their boys
A. To gain support from boys. B. To compete with other pods.
C. To reduce competition for resources. D. To develop the pod’s population.
15. What does Weiss think of the mother-son bond in killer whale groups
A. It is not common in nature.
B. It shows that killer whales have feelings.
C. It doesn’t exist in other species of whales.
D. It slows male killer whales’ development.

People in a courtroom (法庭) were left astonished after an emotional reunion between a judge and one of her old classmates caught following an alleged burglary (涉嫌盗窃) .
Arthur Booth aged 49 was arrested (逮捕) on Monday after being spotted driving a car that looked like the one used in a robbery and failing to stop after a police officer ordered him to pull over. A police chase followed, resulting in two accidents before he crashed the car. He ran away but was finally caught and faced several charges.
US judge Mindy Glazer was taking charge of the case. When Arthur Booth was taken into court, the judge looked at him for a moment or two and then asked, “Did you go to Nautilus Middle School ” “Oh my goodness, ” replied Mr. Booth several times, at first with smiles and then breaking down in tears. He repeatedly cried “Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. ”
In the heartbreaking scene judge Glazer expressed her disappointment at the situation. “I always used to wonder what happened to you, sir, ” she told him. “I'm sorry to see you here. ” Mr Booth covered his head and cried as Glazer told the court, “This was the nicest kid in middle school. ” The judge said, “He was the best kid in middle school. I used to play football with him, all the kids, and look what has happened. ” Glazer said as Mr Booth continued to cry. “What's sad is how old we've become. Good luck to you sir, I hope you are able to come out of this and just lead a lawful life. ”
Arthur Booth said, “Mindy has given me great encouragement. I will not give up my life. Now it is a new start for me.” Arthur Booth was a very good student, but in order to satisfy his gambling (赌博) addiction, he always engages himself in some stealing activities. As a result, he has to waste his good time in prison. Now his family hopes that the appearance of their old classmates and his own guilt can awaken his conscience.

Art can be found almost everywhere on Earth. There are statues on mountaintops, sculptures under the sea, and art shows held in the middle of deserts. A group of over 30,000 artists has recently come together to place their works in a completely new location — the Moon. The project, named the Lunar Codex (月球密典), is dividing pieces they have gathered into five collections. The first one, the Orion (猎户座) Collection, was already sent into space to move around the Moon in 2022 on NASA's Orion spacecraft. The other four will be flown to different destinations on the Moon in future landing tasks.
The Lunar Codex was founded by Canadian physicist, artist, and big businessman Samuel Peralta. Growing up with a love for both writing poetry and learning about space, Peralta dreamed of sending his poems to the Moon one day. Upon discovering that some lunar landing tasks were selling spare goods space on the ships, he booked places on five tasks. While the primary goals of these tasks are to transport lunar landers for scientific experiments, private organizations have been given the opportunity to buy any spare goods space for various purposes.
The artwork included in the Lunar Codex stands for different kinds of artists and artistic forms. The collections at present have works from over 162 different countries. These include works from painters, photographers, writers, filmmakers, and more. The size of each piece of artwork will be miniaturized onto special plates that can be read with a microscope, a tool used in scientific study for making things look larger. Content such as music and movies will be saved on digital cards instead.
While the idea of humanity colonizing (殖民于) the Moon was long just thought of as science fiction, countries worldwide are now seriously considering this possibility. Samuel Peralta hopes that the Lunar Codex can be the start of art and culture and later even humanity colonization on the Moon.
8. How did Samuel Peralta realize his dream
A. By writing a book of poems about space.
B. By founding a space transportation company.
C. By travelling through NASA’s Orion spacecraft.
D. By buying spare goods space on lunar landing tasks.
9. What does the underlined word “miniaturized” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Reduced. B. Simplified. C. Copied. D. Enlarged.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Colonizing the moon is just a human imagination at present.
B. The idea of colonizing the moon has been a popular scientific theory.
C. The Moon is always considered an ideal location for human colonization.
D. The Lunar Codex may be the beginning of humanity colonizing the moon.
11. What is the best title of the text
A. The Task of NASA B. Art on the Moon
C. An Art and Space Lover D. The Moon Colonization

Killer whales are mama’s boys. A son will follow his mother, taking bits of fish and other food, throughout his life, even as his sisters grow up and have babies of their own. This neediness comes at a significant cost to mom, who gives up having additional children to look after her boy, according to a new study.
Michael Weiss has observed the mother-son bond (纽带) in killer whale groups off the Pacific coast of North America. These animals live for tens of years, yet even fully grown males “act like little kids around their mom, swimming right beside her like they’re still babies”.
Weiss wanted to know whether these children came at a cost — particularly, whether they hurt a mother’s fertility (生育能力) . He and his team studied 40 years’ worth of data on three Pacific pods (小群动物) . Sure enough, the team found a “huge effect”.
In a given year, mothers of sons were less than half as likely to have another baby as were childless females or mothers of daughters. Noticeably, both a 3-year-old son and an 18-year-old son lowered their mom’s chances of having more children, Weiss says.
The researchers suggest mom’s favoritism toward her boys developed because of the particular social structure of these pods. When a daughter gives birth, her babies stay in the same group and therefore compete with the rest for food and attention. By contrast, a son doesn’t bring more mouths into the group — he mates with females in passing pods who then go on to raise children in their own social units.
His kids are thus “someone else’s problem”, Weiss explains. So, it makes sense for mom to give more energy to him than to his sisters if she wants as many grandchildren as possible with the least competition. The team didn’t find out exactly how sons prevented their mothers from having more babies. Weiss says he hopes to do more research in different species of whales. But now, killer whales remain an extreme example of parental care across the animal kingdom. “In other animals,” he says, “at some point, you just stop depending on your mom as much.”
12. What's the main topic of the article
A. The social structure of killer whale pods.
B. The difference in parental care across different whales.
C. The behavior of male killer whales towards their mothers.
D. The impact of mother-son bond on female killer whales’ fertility.
13. What can we learn about a mother killer whale’s chance of having more babies
A. A mother of a son won’t have another baby. B. It is obviously reduced when she has a son.
C. A mother of daughters has the least chance. D. It changes with the social structure of the pod.
14. Why do mother killer whales favor their boys
A. To gain support from boys. B. To compete with other pods.
C. To reduce competition for resources. D. To develop the pod’s population.
15. What does Weiss think of the mother-son bond in killer whale groups
A. It is not common in nature.
B. It shows that killer whales have feelings.
C. It doesn’t exist in other species of whales.
D. It slows male killer whales’ development.

I strongly recommend that you should make a workable schedule and have your time well-organized, which can help you develop the good habit of living regularly. Besides, you'd better reduce the time you spend in watching short videos. Instead, more attention should be paid to other things such as taking part in school activities and trying some new hobbies.
I will be delighted if you benefit from my suggestions.
