Passengers were treated to a very different experience on “the Wellness Train” in May, which was designed to reduce pressure, by doing thoughtful activities like reflection or arts and crafts.

The unique experience was operated on Saturday, May 7,2022 by the London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and traveled from London’s King’s Cross to Lincoln in the UK, according to Time Out. It was to raise people’s understanding of what they can do to manage stress in time for Mental Health Awareness Week (May 9-14).

The idea was conducted by LNER. “Our teams often share some of enjoyment when travelling by train. It’s about making the most of a relaxing environment to get involved in activities that increase your sense of wellbeing,” Kate McFerran, director of communications at LNER said in the news release.

This special train trip offered mood-improving activities by a team of experts, according to Country Living. Each passenger received a seat that featured one activity and a special bag.

So whether you wanted to learn relaxation activities with behavior therapist Ann Richardson, or learn the traditional art of paper folding with Origami Party London, there was actually something for everyone. Other mindful activities included a knitting class, adult doodling, meditation, fitness, and one was even dedicated to games and puzzles.

“The LNER Wellness Train will provide customers traveling between London King’s Cross and Lincoln with a unique experience to engage in some of the most mindful activities you can do from the comfort of your own seat onboard the LNER Azuma service,” the events organizers told Country Living.

While this was just a one-day event, it is hoped that people will take away the idea that train travel can be a relaxing and stress relieving way to commute every day.

24．What’s “the Wellness Train” meant for?

A．To teach arts making. B．To entertain passengers.

C．To offer a free trip. D．To reduce pressure.

Beauty From Their Ashes is a group of mothers and daughters who have dealt with the impact that trauma (挫折) brings. With this experience, their goal is to help others by coming to each person from a place of sympathy and empathy (共情).

“We have walked this walk,” said Synethia Bland, Marketing Director. “We have already learned how to manage the challenges that a trauma-impacted mother faces each day. Our goal is to communicate that you’re never on this journey alone.”

Everyone goes through hardships. This group hopes to communicate to mothers and daughters that they can rise from these trials to reach places of beauty. Bland says that by providing guidance, hope, and love, women can hold their faith because empathy and compassion are restored in their lives.

“Broken women help other hurting women in realizing their dream and potential,” said Liliana, a certified life coach. Liliana is praised for being a defender of the truth. “The best teachers come from life,” she said.

Liliana ran through her social media, and she saw others in pain: homeless, abused, facing chronic illness. No one gave an encouraging word. No one paid attention, like illness and poverty were a choice. Liliana was overcome with such heart-broken stories. When Liliana found her faith, she said her journey became more difficult. Turning away women in need was not something she was willing to do, so she poured all her resources into this organization.

“You know that in your secret closet, you still have ashes. Just because the world can’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Some of us just choose not to sit on our hands.”

By showing women how they can rise like a phoenix（凤凰）, the ashes don’t need to be the end of their stories. It can be the beginning of something new.

28．What is the mission of Beauty From Their Ashes?

A．To help the suffering women. B．To train women to be independent.

C．To encourage women to face challenges. D．To provide useful suggestions for women.

29．What does the author stress in paragraph 5?

A．The help from social media. B．The situation of the sufferers.

C．The trouble Liliana met with. D．The reason why Liliana served the group.

30．What does the underlined phrase “sit on our hands” in paragraph 6 mean?

A．Sit well. B．Take action. C．Turn a blind eye. D．Lend a hand.

31．What key message does the text convey?

A．Ladies can rise from trials. B．True beauty comes from ashes.

C．Broken women deserve more concern. D．Misfortune can be a new start with help.

D

New smart wheelchairs are designed to allow users more freedom of movement. Some even allow them to raise or lower the seats or to go up and down stairs. Now, Scewo, a Swiss company, has designed their futuristic motorized wheelchair Scewo Bro that is a complete solution with multitasking innovation. This smart wheelchair is so advanced and multifunctional that it won the Design Prize in 2018 and has been recognized as a pioneer in the medical technology industry.

With clearly defined lines and a reduction to the essentials, the design team developed a clear design language. That way, Scewo Bro is seen as a new generation of wheelchairs at first glance. Scewo Bro users can control the wheelchair either by a touch interface (界面) or a smartphone. They can switch from one to the other and can also choose from three different modes: park mode, drive mode, and track mode. This allows for any terrain (地形) and for people with mobility disabilities to be independent.

Built with safety in mind, the seat always balances itself so the user stays in a sitting position. This feature allows users to deal with different terrains without the risk of tipping over. Besides, the foot rests, seat, and arm rests are designed to be comfortable and adjustable.

The smart wheelchair can go up to 35 kilometers on one charge and can go 10 kilometers per hour. If a break is needed, just put the chair into the relaxation position. The smart wheelchair comes with two secure storage areas for people on the go to store valuables. It can fit in the trunk of a car and can be charged in just five hours.

Scewo Bro is available in Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. While the first batch(首批) has sold out, people can pre-order for delivery at the end of 2021. This futuristic wheelchair will allow for increased movement and a better quality of life for people with mobility issues.
