Imagine your smartphone’s screen gets broken, or your favourite boots get a hole in them. What do you do? You could buy a replacement. Or you could join the worldwide trend of taking your broken stuff to a “repair café”.

The Bower Reuse and Repair Centre has just launched Australia’s first repair café, in Sydney’s inner west. The crowd-funded project will hold weekly repair sessions focusing on bikes, furniture and electrical items.

The first repair café was set up in Amsterdam in 2009, and the Repair Cafe Foundation says there are now more than 400 around the world. A repair café is a free face-to-face meeting of skilled volunteers and local residents who want things fixed. Visitors bring broken items from home and watch, learn or help as the repairs get done. Some things are fixed during the event, while for more challenging items people might be referred to local speciality repair shops.

Last year, according to the ABS, Australians sent more than half a million tons of leather to landfill—more than ten times the amount that was reused or recycled. Mending represents an attempt to resist the throwaway culture. Repair cafés get people talking and give them the chance to network and learn about the local resources available. And, perhaps most surprisingly for anyone who considers mending to be some kind of drudgery, repair cafés can be fun and creative.

“In a circular economy, repair cafés fit right in”, says the organiser Martine Postma. In rejecting buy-use-throw, the circular economy aims to keep resources moving around in the economy, rather than moving them through it to a dead end, where they cannot be put into valuable use.

It might be quicker and easier to throw stuff in the bin, but it’s more expensive and less fun too.

24. What can we know about the repair café in Sydney?

A. It’s financed by the government. B. Its visitors are involved in the fixing.

C. It’s the first repair café in the world. D. All items are fixed during the event.

25. Why does the author discuss landfill in paragraph 4?

A. To stress the difficulty of landfill. B. To indicate the urgency of reusing.

C. To support the throwaway culture. D. To show the influence of repair cafés.

26. What does the underlined word “drudgery” in paragraph 4 mean?

A. Special network. B. Weekly meetings. C. Unpleasant work. D. Interesting games.

27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Places to Meet Up and Drink

B. Repair and Share Every Month

C. Repair Cafes Continue the Art of Mending

D. Repair Cafes Fix Things- Including the Economy

C

This year’s Olympic Games have been closed to most spectators (观众) because of COVID-19, but the eyes of the world are still on the athletes thanks to five extra cameras—the first step in a 3D tracking system that supplies spectators with instant insights into each step of a race.

The tracking system being used in Tokyo, an Intel product called 3DAT, feeds live footage (影像) into the cloud. There, an artificial intelligence program uses deep learning to analyze an athlete’s movements and identifies key performance characteristics such as top speed and slowdown. The system shares that information with viewers by displaying the action of slow-motion, highlighting key moments. The whole process, from capturing the footage to broadcasting the analysis, takes less than 30 seconds.

“It’s like having your own personal commentator point things out to you in the race,” says Jonathan Lee, director of the Olympic technology group.

To train their Olympic AI via machine learning, Lee and his team had to capture as much footage of best athletes as they could. They needed recordings of human bodies performing specific moves, but the preexisting footage shows average people in motion, Lee says. “People aren’t usually seven feet in the air,” he notes, but world-class high jumpers reach such heights regularly.

In the footage, a team at Intel record every part of the body—eyes, nose, shoulders, and more. Once those key points were identified, the model began connecting them in three dimensions (维度) until it had a simplified performance of an athlete’s form. Lee thinks the AI could help everyone from Olympians to average gymgoers correct their form and track changes in their moves that may indicate upcoming injury. “Long-term, what this technology will do is help improve an athlete’s performance by giving them more information,” two-time Olympic champion Ashton Eaton said.

28. What does the tracking system provide for the viewers?

A. Information about 3DAT.

B. Live footage from gymgoers.

C. Analysis of the athletes’ personalities.

D. Highlighted key moments in slow motion.

29. Why did Lee and his team need footage of best athletes?

A. To increase the accuracy of AI. B. To reach the world-class heights.

C. To record moves of average people. D. To improve athletes’ specific moves.

30. What can the system do for average sports enthusiasts?

A. Lower the risk of injury. B. Train them to be Olympians.

C. Simplify the training process. D. Track changes in their heights.

31. What can we infer from Eaton’s words?

A. He benefited a lot from the technology.

B. He was positive about the future of AI.

C. He thought AI was useless for athletes.

D. He wasn’t interested in the development of AI.

D

“We need to shampoo the patient s hair,” said Kristen, a physician assistant. Operating room nurse Jess seconded the idea. With the two of them advocating, it needed to happen.

Somehow for the last 23 years, as a man with short hair, I’d always considered a wash with water to be enough to clean a patient’s hair after surgery. We would wash it the day after. That’s just how we’d done things. But why not wash it in the operating room before the patient wakes up? The literature suggests no danger, so I went along with Kristen and Jess, and bought good shampoo.

The first time we did it, it seemed a little time-wasting. If it was about surgical cleanliness, it wasn’t required. As we continued to wash the patient’s hair, I began to notice the effect it had on everyone else in the room. The shampoo transformed the room to a spa for just a few minutes. The patient was the subject of the cleansing, but we benefited too. It was a quiet, collective feeling, knowing that we were finishing our work well. The sweet smell of washing fixed that in our minds.

Patients say they don’t care about hair, but they do. It can be a symbol of power or beauty, as with Samson or Rapunzel. A contemporary example, hair in Namwali Serpell’s novel The Old Drifts serves as a symbol of individual and personality. People definitely care about their hair.

Washing the hair with nice shampoo symbolizes the beginning of some kind of recovery, a return to a new normal for the patient, cleansing away the misfortune that caused them to need me.

We sent the patient out of the room with clean hair, knowing and showing that we’d cared for them well. The patient is more than a case—they’re a fellow human, after all. A postsurgical shampoo seems like a good talisman (护身符), and it’s not time-wasting.

32. What can we learn about the first hair-washing experience in the operating room?

A. The patient was a man with short hair.

B. The idea was first put forward by Jess

C. The experience was a total waste of time.

D. The author realized various benefits afterwards.

33. What’s the author’ s purpose in writing paragraph 4?

A. To explain the power of beauty.

B. To show what hair means to people.

C. To introduce a classic book about hair.

D. To discuss the effect of hair on personality.

34. What will the author probably do in the future?

A. Wash patients’ hair before surgery.

B. Stop wasting time on hair-washing.

C. Continue to shampoo patients’ hair.

D. Give patients talismans for good luck.

35. Which of the following best describes the author as a doctor?

A. Honest. B. Ambitious. C. Caring. D. Generous.

Whether you want to be a leader, coach or entrepreneur—knowing how to give advice will help you. Here are the best ways to give advice.

Tell a story.

   36   . Storytelling is how you make your advice human, relatable and real. Every great speech or piece of advice comes with a story. The story is what people remember and that’s how they’ll remember your advice.

Have a good structure.

Just like a good speech, high-quality advice has a solid structure, which makes your advice easier to follow and more likely to be remembered. Be logical with your advice and structure it in a way that makes sense.    37   . Or you can think about the timeline in relation to your advice. What events happened first or what steps do you begin with?

Use your own experience.

Many people tell stories but rarely include their own experience. Your experience is the best advice you can give. No one has exactly the same story or experience as you, so that’s what makes your advice truly unique. All of us have experiences worth sharing.    38   .

Inject emotion.

The best advice contains your own emotion. Link your advice to emotion. It’s another practical strategy to get people to take action. We all remember when someone got emotional while giving a speech or when we felt the same emotion as the person giving us the advice.    39   . We’ve all felt sadness, laughter or else in our lives and put these into your advice if you want to influence your audience to make a real and rapid change.

Giving advice is a privilege and it should never be taken for granted.    40   . Don’t forget that.

A. One tip is to keep your story long

B. Start with your most important point

C. We all have special equipment that can help others

D. Emotion is what can make your advice feel universal

E. The sole purpose of giving advice is to help someone

F. Your personal experiences are more valuable than you think

G. Dry information and statistics don’t inspire people to make a change or listen to you

In one of our parenting disagreements, my husband stated that our kids should address adults as Mr. or Ms./ Mrs. and that our kids’ friends should call us Mr. and Mrs. Badzin. While I agreed with my husband in theory, I found the practice surprisingly    41    to follow. I didn’t want to send mixed messages to our children about how to speak to    42   , nor did I want to    43    our friends who prefer to be addressed by their first    44   . Rather than agreeing on the issue, for many years we came to terms: we were Nina and Mr. Badzin.

When other adults necessarily asked if we preferred their kids to    45    us as Mr. and Mrs. Badzin, I often said, “He’s Mr. Badzin,    46    call me Nina.”

Maybe, like many moms I know, I was the one who didn’t want to feel old. In those early years, it seemed that being called Nina was the best way to handle the    47    situation of everyone else in our    48    circle preferring first names.

The first time my opinion    49    was the day that my son had a new friend over who walked up to me and    50    said, “Mrs. Badzin, may we please have a snack?” “Call me Nina” was on the tip of my    51   , but I suddenly realized that this little boy    52    me Mrs. Badzin wasn’t about me. It’s about his parents’    53    for their child to demonstrate    54   , and there’s no question his parents had    55   . I felt envious of his parents who    56    less about what people thought than I did. I    57    them for going against the modern trend. That day    58    the Mrs. Badzin seed. As our kids started having more playdates, I was struck by the fact that compared to a child, I was    59   , and I ought to be respected for my    60   .

Now I want to be Mrs. Badzin more than Nina.

According to a new report by IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the deadly heat waves, floods    61    droughts are disturbing the    62    (life) of thousands of people from the American West to southern Europe and central China. And they will be likely only to get    63    (bad) as global temperatures continue to rise. “So far, all regions of the world    64    (affect) by some extremes,” says Sonia Seneviratne, an environmental    65    (science). “We can link extreme weather to climate change in    66    same way we can link cancer to smoking,” says Friederike Otto, one of the report’s authors. And, like smoking, the damage is hard    67    (disappear), Otto says. The most important thing, experts say, is to make sure these events don’t grow even more common and intense    68    they are now. “I feel    69    (strong) that the public needs to know that dangerous climate change is here and now,” says Michael Wehner, an extreme weather researcher. To limit global warming to just 2℃, Wehner says, “It’s my feeling that we would have to do something rather extreme.” Something extreme, he adds, means completely    70    (get) rid of consumption of coal, oil, and natural gas.
