Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk-tuk after pulling their failing vehicle for 43 miles. Richard Sears and Nick Gough traveled 37,500 kilometers around the world and passed through 37 countries. They did this to support the grass-roots education project in Africa, Asia and
South America.
The pair, who set off from London, thought their expedition was over when the vehicle started to fail. When the tuk-tuk broke, they were only 70 kilometers away from their destination. They decided to pull it the rest of the way. The tuk-tuk, which weighs 800 kilograms, was pulled in turn by Richard and Nick over three days. On arrival in Chepen, Peru, they discovered a mechanic who specialized in tuk-tuks and managed to fix it.
The pair were back on the road aiming for their next goal. Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles. They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia. The greatest hardship on the tuk-tuk was the mountain ranges lying in their path, including the Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes.
Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa, Asia and South America. They witnessed firsthand the educational challenges facing these areas today. They joined street children in the slums of Cairo, Khartoum, Kampala, Mumbai and Phnom Penh. They visited Congolese refugees （难民）in camps in Eastern Burundi. They witnessed how education could free sex-workers in Delhi and victims of human trafficking in Nepal.
The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust, a U.K. registered charity.
Talking about their motivation, Richard said, “The world's leaders have made a commitment to achieving universal primary education but, in spite of this pledge （誓言，承诺），over 57 million primary-aged children worldwide are still out of school; many more are in school, but still cannot access quality learning opportunities.
24. Why did the two teachers travel around the world?
A. To support an education project.
C. To entertain themselves.
B. To create a new world record.
D. To challenge themselves.

B. About 14 miles.
D. 70 kilometers.
B. Humorous and generous.
D. Efficient and honest.

25. How far did the two teachers pull the tuk-tuk each day on average?
A. A little more than 30 kilometers.
C. 43 miles.
26. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. How they realized their next goal.
B. Their exciting experience on the road.
C. The beautiful scenery of famous mountains.
D. The difficulties and dangers they faced in the journey.
27. Which of the following best describes the two teachers?
A. Curious and brave.
C. Courageous and responsible.
C
We already know that exercise is good for our bodies. Daily exercise fights the loss of muscle tone and flexibility that tends to increase slowly with age. And it turns out that it has the same fountain-of-youth effects on our brains.
Studies show that over time our minds also become less nimble. We lose the ability to process new information or switch between mental tasks quickly一and now we know why.
A recent study examined nearly 100 individual studies on exercise and brain function and discovered exercising an average of 52 hours over six months is "associated with improved cognitive （认知的） performance in older adults with and without cognitive damage." The type of exercises that are beneficial include aerobic, strength-training and mind-body exercises like yoga or tai chi.
In previous studies, researchers from Japan's University of Tsukuba wanted to explore this idea by looking at the effect of exercise on the weakening of the brain. They tested the oxygen ability of 60 Japanese men between the ages of 64 and 75 who did not show any signs of dementia （痴呆）or other mental symptoms. Next, they looked at the brain activity of each man as he completed a mental task. They found that the fitter a participant was, the less brain power he used to complete the tasks when compared with his out-of-shape peers, which made him more efficient.
Although much research is focused on how exercise may benefit an aging brain, exercise offers brain health benefits at almost any age, and this includes children. A review of 14 studies showed that more physically active schoolchildren do better academically. Exercise actually causes your brain to grow in size. So get moving and keep moving for best results.
28. The underlined word "nimble“ in Paragraph 2 most probably means.
A. dull-witted B. single-minded C. absent-minded D. quick-witted
29. What can we infer about the participants5 less-active peers?
A. They had significant brain advantages.
B. Their brains were younger than their age.
C. Their cognitive performance would decline.
D. They had a quick mind when doing the task.
30. How does the author support his idea?
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing study results.
C. By describing the processes. D. By telling peers5 experiences.
31. What's the main idea of the text?
A. Exercise is beneficial for your bodies.
B. Exercise can benefit your brain health.
C. Exercise is especially good for dementia.
D. Exercise may lower your risk of mental problems.
D
The search for beauty spans centuries and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs （假发）of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.
There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.
But what exactly is beauty? It's difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.
The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits-the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders-equal health and genetic well-being.
Not everyone thinks the same way. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin, but is this "perfect“ body type for women worldwide? Scientists5 answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.
For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder （观看者）.
32. People's ideas about beauty.
A. can be easily described B. are based upon strict criteria
C. have existed since ancient times D. have little influence on a person's success
33. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study.
A. were rated for their appearance
B. showed a preference for women with larger eyes
C. were shown photos of a group of college students
D. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones
34. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow up
B. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches
C. the search for beauty is the power to motivate the beholder
D. the understanding of beauty is rooted in cultural backgrounds
35. What can probably be the best title for this passage?
A. The History of Beauty B. The Mystery of Beauty
C. The Standards for Beauty D. The Attitudes toward Beauty

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 36 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-cave types. As a result, humans develop a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 38
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
40 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we'll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A. It all depends on your character.
B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

Some of the most successful people in history have done their best work in coffee shops. Pablo Picasso, JK Rowling, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, Bob Dylan-whether they are painters, singers, song writers, philosophers or writers, people across nations and 56 (century) have tapped into their creativity working away at a table in a cafe.
There are many ways coffee shops trigger our creativity in a way offices and homes don't. Research shows that the stimuli in these places make them effective environments 57 (work). It5s not just that double espresso but the 58 (combine) of noise, casual crowds and visual variety can give us just the right amount of distraction to help us be our 59 (sharp) and most creative.
Some of us stick in our earbuds as soon as we sit down to work in a public setting. But scientists 60 (know) for years that background noise can benefit our creative thinking. So, the jazz muzak, light conversation and barista (咖啡师)banging coffee grounds (咖啡渣)out of the grinder aren't a nuisance-they could help you come up 61 your next masterpiece.
There is also the fact that in a coffee shop, we're surrounded by people who've come to do 62 same thing as us, which acts as a motivator. You see other people working and it puts you in an atmosphere 63 you just naturally start working as well. Just 64 (observe) them can motivate you to work harder.
Even if working from home remains an option long-term due to the pandemic, the benefits of 65 (temporary) relocating to a coffee shop may be too good to pass up.

Steve grabbed his bat and glove. "See you later, Mom. I'm going to Paul's." He raced out the door and slammed (砰地关上)it behind him. Summer vacation just began. The boys planned to play baseball every day so they could make the freshman team.
Paul was waiting outside for Steve. “What are you doing? Where5s your stuff?” Steve lifted his bat onto his shoulder when catching sight of Paul.
Paul shook his head unhappily. "I have to clean Mr. Thompson's garage before I can go. With his broken arm, he can't do it himself. My mom always volunteers me to help the Thompsons. They5re kind of old”
“OK； said Steve. "I'll help you. We'll get done quicker working together.”
The boys went down the block to the Thompsons5 and got started.

‘"You've got to see this." He pulled out a handful of bills and showed Steve with his eyes lit up. "Where did you get that?” said Steve. Paul pointed to the shelf. "It just fell down when the box fell. There5s got to be a couple of thousand dollars here. If we take some, I bet no one will ever know.”
Steve furrowed his brow （皱眉）and shook his head. "Are you crazy? That's stealing ." Well, I do a lot of chores for them and don't get paid. It5s not really stealing; it's a kind of payment for my hard work； Paul insisted. At that time, Steve was about to grab the money from Paul's hand when they heard a sound.

W: Hello Fm Kate Assadi, and Fm here to talk about my hobby, which is skydiving. In the UK, this is still seen as something done by crazy young people! But in the USA, skydiving is a hobby that has been taken up by people from all age groups, by anyone looking for excitement, from twenty-year-olds to old people enjoying active life after leaving their jobs.
I wanted to do skydiving as a teenager, but my parents wouldn't give their permission. So, my first jump was as a university student, when I was able to get a discount. Immediately, I was attracted! I couldn't afford to do it regularly though, until I started working as a lawyer.
Why do I do it? Well, skydiving makes you feel great - you forget all your problems. There aren't really any health benefits. Although I know several businessmen with stressful jobs who do skydiving to help them relax. Of course, some people start skydiving to help them get over a fear of heights. In a word, skydiving5s great. It gives you a whole new idea on life!
