Liu Yang, a professor at the School of Ecology at Sun Yat-sen University, is one of the country’s most accomplished bird-watchers, and has a sight-list of about 1,330 species.
Since childhood, Liu has been keen on studying the nests of house swifts, an interest that aroused his love for nature and biodiversity. During high school in 1994, he started his birdwatching journey. While others were attracted by collecting stamps or matchboxes, Liu was attracted by the unique characteristics of each bird. Hence, observing and identifying all the birds he saw and keeping a record, which is also known as a“ life list”, became his “small goal”.
Combining bird- watching with science always excites Liu. In the summer of 2008, while collecting research samples at the Beishan National Farm in the Huzhu Tu autonomous county in Haidong city in Qinghai province, he came across birds that looked similar to the Red-flanked Bluetail, a species that normally appears in the spring and autumn. Surprisingly, they were breeding. This discovery challenged what people knew. Liu and his team collected and analyzed DNA and acoustic (声学的) samples, leading to the recognition of two additional species, the Qilian Bluetail and the Taiwan Bush Robin.
Beyond his research, Liu Yang also places great importance on popular science. “Scientific research and popular science should not be seen as separate fields,” he explains. “Research questions come from looking closely at nature and life, and the findings should be shared with the public in a way that is easy to understand.” Besides writing bird guides, LiuYang is active in sharing his knowledge. He gives lectures and helps in different bird- watching programs. His main goal is to create a benefit for both people and birds.
Liu praises the increasing number of data collected by bird- watchers.“ Many bird- watchers not only observe birds but also photograph them, using their cameras to document the birds “status and behavior, which plays an important role in protection,” he says.

The UK government has announced a new plan for digital identity (ID) cards. Prime Minister Keir Starmer revealed the plan on September 26th, and the system should be in place before August 2029. Under this system, everyone living in the UK would store a digital ID on their smartphone containing basic personal information including their name, date of birth, nationality, and photograph.
The government says this card will be very important for getting a job. Every employer must check this digital ID before someone can start working. This is to make sure the person has the right to work in the country. The Prime Minister believes this will help stop people from working illegally.
Right now, people use different paper documents like passports or driving licenses to prove their identity. The new digital ID will be another form of identification you must have for a new job. The government argues these digital cards are harder to fake than paper documents. It also highlights the convenience for job seekers, as the process would become quicker and easier without the need for paper documents that can be lost. Beyond employment, digital cards will also be used to help people access services such as childcare, which will speed up the process.
Other countries, like Australia and Estonia, already use similar digital IDs. But, many people are worried about whether their personal information will be safe, and they don’t like sharing so much private data in fear that centralizing so much personal information could make it a target for cybercriminals. They also emphasize that not everyone has a smartphone or is comfortable using technology, meaning the system could exclude certain groups from the start. Finally, critics feel this is an unnecessary intrusion (侵犯) into people’ s lives by the government and fear it could lead to demands for even more private information in the future.
8. What is purpose of the new plan
A. To help people work illegally in the UK.
B. To store basic details on employers’ phones.
C. To confirm a person’s right to work in the UK.
D. To improve the employment rate in the country.
9. What does the government think of the digital ID cards
A. They cost less but work better.
B. They are safer and more convenience.
C. They will soon take the place of paper documents.
D. They have made the process of childcare services faster.
10. What may be people’s main concern about the digital IDs
A. Data safety. B. High cost.
C. Impractical method. D. Technical failure.
11. What does the underline word “exclude” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Count on. B. Cheer up. C. Look after. D. Leave out.
D
Would you like to learn new things more easily Earlier research shows that exercise can help. Physical activity gives off chemicals that help your brain store new information for the long term. Now, a new study has gone a step further — it points out the best time to exercise to make your memory stronger.
To explore this, researchers from Radboud University and the University of Edinburgh designed an experiment with 72 healthy volunteers. It began with a computer test where participants had to remember pictures and their locations. After the test, everyone relaxed by watching nature documentaries. However, there was a twist: two-thirds of the participants also exercised, while the rest did not. The exercisers were divided into two groups. One group started a 35-minute intense cycling workout right after the test. The other group did the same exercise, but four hours later. Two days later, everyone returned for a memory test. They also had their brains scanned using MRI machines to see how actively their brains were working during recall.
The result was both interesting and unexpected. The group that had waited four hours after learning to exercise performed the best. Their brain scans also showed a calmer and more organized pattern, meaning their brains didn’t have to work as hard to remember. It appears that this specific timing is key to making memories stick — it might be a “golden window” for memory.
Based on these findings, exercising four hours after studying seems ideal for learning. Still, two questions remain: Why does this timing work And what’s the right amount of exercise Many people may feel mentally drained after intense workouts like marathons. But researchers point out that light exercise may not give the brain enough of a boost.
12. What does the new study show
A. What is good for learning. B. How new information is stored.
C. When is the best time to exercise. D. Where long-term memory is from.
13. Why were the participants divided into different groups
A. To measure their brain activity.
B. To identify who had the best memory.
C. To test if longer exercise helps memory more.
D. To compare the effects of exercising at different times.
14. What do we know about the “golden window”
A. It is a period when the memory lasts.
B. It is a four-hour break after physical activities.
C. It is the only time when the brain become calmer.
D. it is related to the best exercise timing for better memory.
15. What is implied in the last paragraph
A. More studies are needed.
B. Light exercise is better for the brain.
C. Marathon is good for people’s mental health.
D. We can only exercise four hours after studying.
