“I am not out of place, I am where I belong.” says British student Bruno Walker, after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a patient in Zhengzhou,China. Some locals are astonished by receiving traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) from a foreigner, but Walker is confident in his path. He is among a growing number of foreigners engaging in TCM,mixing their Western backgrounds with ancient Chinese healing arts.
Walker, from Britain, came to China in 2015, drawn by martial arts.While learning Shaolin kung fu in Henan, he developed a curiosity about Chinese culture and medicine. After a year of intensive Chinese study, he signed up in Henan University of Chinese Medicine.Now a graduate student specializing in acupuncture, he has treated over a thousand patients. “He is skilled in heartbeat diagnosis(诊断)and acupuncture,” says his teacher, Professor Yu Dongdong. “He can practise independently.”
Under his Chinese name “Wuyan.” Bruno has become an online hit on the video-sharing platform Douyin, gathering over 900,000 followers.Balancing his roles as practitioner and internet celebrity, he presents local culture in fluent Henan dialect(方言), often alongside his local girlfriend. “Your grasp of the Henan dialect is even more authentic than mine,” comments one follower. Apparently, his cultural involvement has endeared him to many. He also treated his grandmother's health problems with acupuncture, leading to her swift recovery.
With his growing fan base, Brano feels a responsibility. “Posting videos was just a pastime, but now I want to participate in more meaningful projects,” he says. He plans to create bilingual videos promoting TCM and sharing stories of ancient Chinese medical experts. “I’m devoted to spreading awareness of TCM and its far-reaching cultural significance,” he adds. Whether in China or Britain, he plans to devote himself to TCM. “I will do anything to help people through TCM. That’s my calling.”

Recent research suggests that growing camellia (山茶) plants for cooking oil could enhance production while minimizing environmental harm. Replacing some traditional vegetable oil crops with camellia could lead to increased oil yield and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions(释放) water consumption, and pesticide use. Camellia, or tea seed oil, is a high-yielding bush that grows well in challenging conditions where other oil crops struggle. Despite its potential health benefits, camellia oil remains largely unknown outside China.
Currently, about a third of the world’s farmland is used to grow vegetable oils. This area is expanding, contributing to deforestation, global warming and wildlife loss. According to Thomas Wanger from Westlake University in Hangzhou, China, the environmental impact of six main oil crops-soya, palm, rapeseed, sunflower, peanut, and olive - results in an estimated 1.2 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, primarily due to fertilizer use and deforestation.
Wanger’s team explored the environmental benefits of replacing some of these crops with Camellia oleifera. This plant can yield up to 2.8 tonnes of oil per hectare, second only to palm oil, and can grow in poor soil and on steep hillsides. Camellia oil is rich in oleic acid (油酸), which may lower heart disease risk and has a higher smoke point than many oils, reducing harmful chemical formation during cooking.
If camellia were grown on 11% of the land currently used for other oil crops, it could produce the same oil volume while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions by 14%, water use by 5%, land use by 7%, and pesticide use by 9%. However, these figures would depend on how camellia is grown, says Wanger, “The benefits depend strongly on where it is planted and to replace what.”
Government action would probably be needed to encourage a camellia oil market, says Wanger. “The price currently is very high, and so I think the consumer might be a bit hesitant.” “The commercial reality is that new oil crops won’t achieve a large market share unless production can compete in the market,” says Christopher at Alternative Fuels Consultancy.
28.What are the environmental benefits of growing camellia plants
A. Using less chemicals.
B. Limiting water pollution.
C. Minimizing greenhouse gas.
D. Helping other crops’ growth.
29.What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Camellia plants attain the highest oil yield.
B.The living conditions of camellia is demanding.
C. Camellia oil tends to form less poisonous gas in cooking.
D. Camellia oil is primarily used for heart disease treatment.
30.What is Wanger’s attitude toward replacing other oil crops with camellia oil
A. Favorable B. Objective C. Unclear D. Doubtful
31.What is crucial in increasing the camellia oil’s market share
A.Reducing the price.
B. Expanding the farmland.
C. Encouraging more production.
D. Changing the shopping habits.

A major scientific achievement has been recognized with the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.This award was given to a team using machine learning to solve a big problem in biology: predicting and designing the 3D shapes of proteins. Most of this work was done at a tech company, marking a notable shift that high-level scientific research can also originate outside traditional academic settings.
Proteins are crucial for our bodies and are involved in almost every biological process. The shape of a protein determines its function.If a protein is shaped incorrectly, it can cause serious diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Historically, predicting a protein’s shape from its amino acid sequence(序列) was very difficult and puzzled scientists for decades.
The breakthrough happened with A-Fold, a machine learning program that can accurately predict protein structures from their amino acid sequences.This tool has changed the field, providing insights into the structure of over 200 million proteins so far. This data is expected to speed up progress in medicine and drug development, opening new ways to treat diseases.
The tech company’s success with A-Fold also underscores the growing impact of artificial intelligence in various scientific domains, showing that Al can tackle complex biological problems and contribute to critical advancements in health and medicine.
The Nobel Prize committee awarded this work to highlight the value of combining different areas in science, where technology and biology meet to create amazing results. This achievement not only shows what Al can do but also sets an example for future scientific projects that combine technology with traditional research to address global problems.
32.Why was the team awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
A. They discovered a cure for Alzheimer’s and diabetes.
B. They analyzed the functions of essential body elements.
C. They worked out protein structures with a machine learning program.
D. They created a new way to treat diseases through traditional research.
33.Why is the shape of a protein critical to its function
A. It leads to the development of the diseases.
B. It offers insights into the structure of protein.
C. It speeds up the progress of medicine and drug.
D. It affects the protein's role in biological processes.
34.What does the underlined word “underscore” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Minimize. B. Highlight. C. Question. D. Overlook.
35.What possibility does the author imply about the future of scientific research
A. A new focus on solving biological problems.
B. An amazing change in academic research settings.
C.An increase in joint efforts between different fields.

How Body Language Can Help Your Career
Many businessmen often underestimate the importance of nonverbal communication-- which is often half the message. 36 Imagine how much more effective your next meeting with your boss could be if only you give your nonverbal communication a little attention. These four tips can help you avoid that common mistake so you can use your body language to gain an advantage in your career.
Triple Nod to Show You’re Engaged
37 One way you can do this non-verbally is to use the triple head nod. Three quick, small nods in a row is the nonverbal sign for “tell me more” or “I hear you, explain.” It is a great way to show that you are interested and involved.
Don’t Underestimate the Power of the Hands
Our hands speak volumes about who we are. Our brain pays attention to hands more than any other body part because we have evolved to look at them as a safety tool to make sure people won’t attack us. Whenever you have meetings, keep your hands above the table. 38 Stop Using Nervous Behaviors
Learn to stop displaying nervous body language so you don’t risk appearing anxious or incompetent. The most common behaviors are:wringing hands, rubbing arms, biting lips. 39
Ask a friend to tell you if they notice you're displaying any of the above behaviors. Once you know what they are, you can take actions to stop them.
Mirror Other People
Professionals who mirror clients’ body language are more successful than those who don’t. If you’re a fast-talker, slowing down your speech to match the person you’re talking to helps put you on the same level. 40 Copying someone’s closed off body language or negative tone will only increase the tension between you.
Of course, only follow positive behaviors.
Hold your body in a similar way as they do.
Show you are interested in the people you speak with.
Focus on keeping your body there unless you need to use it.
You’ll be able to use the crucial tool for delivering messages.
Sometimes it can be hard to identify what your signs of anxiety are.
Most people plan what they will say, but they ignore their body language.

It was Friday, and the clock was ticking, with only 15 minutes left until lunch. The classroom was filled with a sense of anticipation as Mrs. Stretch announced that it was time for the much-loved game, Around the World.
Around the World was Eddie’s absolute favorite classroom game. He loved racing against a classmate to solve a math problem and calling out the answer. Eddie won against some kids and lost against others. Eddie’s best friend Michael never lost a math challenge. He was the champion of Around the World in the class and could even beat a fourth grader. Under Michael’s influence, the entire class was motivated to study harder and developed a newfound love for math.
“Talia, you start,” said Mrs. Stretch. Talia was new to the class. Last week, she had watched how the game was played, but this would be her first time playing.Talia jumped up and went over to Luka’s desk. Luka stood up too. “Twelve times two,” said Mrs. Stretch. There was a pause as Talia and Luka raced to work out the multiplication(乘法) problem in their head.
“Twenty-four!” Talia called out first. “Right,” said Mrs. Stretch.Talia was the winner so she moved on to challenge the next student. Luka sat down.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t long before Talia had beat several classmates. Then Talia was in front of Eddie’s desk.
“Six times seven ” asked Mrs. Stretch. “Forty-two!” Talia shouted, a second before Eddie could. Eddie was disappointed he had lost to Talia, but he was happy he also knew the right answer.
It was thrilling to watch the game going on. Talia seemed to be unstoppable. Finally. Talia got to Michael. He was the last one she’d have 1o beat to be today’s champion. At that time, the whole classroom was charged with an electric intensity as everyone held their breath.
“Eight times twelve.” Mrs. Stretch said, her voice cutting through the thick silence.
