Once upn a time, a pr widw in China pened a ndle shp. The ndles were gd, but the spicy, crunchy sauce she put n them was even better.

13-year-ld Ava Drsey is the funder f Ava’s Pet Palace, a business that sells rganic dg and cat treats. “I actually had the idea when I was six with a picture I drew f a palace,” she says. It was a detailed design fr dgs and cats and she had serius plans t build it ne day.

Ava says the biggest challenge f being a kid in business is when peple dn’t take her seriusly, but undubtedly Ava has prved that her dubters are wrng! When asked hw she defines (定义) success . Ava says, “When yu hit a bump in the rad, yu shuldn’t give up and yu keep trying.” She learned that frm her mm, wh sunds like a smart lady! Sme mre things Ava has learned frm her years in business: Hard wrk eventually pays ff and there is nthing wrng with asking fr help.
As far as the future f the pet treats industry ges, Ava is ptimistic—but she’d als like t be an inspiratin fr change. “There’s nt much diversity (多样性) right nw, s that’s smething I wuld lve t see in the future,” says Ava. “I wuld als lve t see mre kids in this industry. There aren’t many ther teenagers arund, and I hpe that I can be an inspiratin t thers wh hpe t lead the pet industry.”

Sme peple wrry that there’s t much technlgy in ur lives. And they may have a pint, given hw cuntless peple nw carry the Internet arund in their pcket and use it as a primary frm f cmmunicatin. It’s practically difficult t shun technlgy in ur wrld. There are cmputer micrchips in ur watches, ur cars, light switches, even ur pets! Where will it end?
Well, if certain peple have their way, it’ll g even further. We’ll have micrchips implanted int ur brains that can interact with the cmputers by thught alne. It may sund like smething frm the science fictin, but in many ways, things lk quite prmising. Thanks t the ability t send and receive infrmatin remtely via cmputers, micrchips and ther related devices have lng been put int brains.
Fr example electrdes have been implanted in the brains f epilepsy patients t better recrd and even predict the abnrmal neurlgical activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulatin, thrugh implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regins, is an established treatment fr things like Parkinsn’s disease, and is even being lked int fr illnesses like depressin.
Hwever, it’s anther thing t place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical cncerns, nt least f which is what these chips will be made f. The inside f the brain is a mass f highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants wuld need t be dull enugh t nt upset the delicate prcesses by their presence, but als sensitive enugh t read and prcess the activity arund them. Current technlgy has made impressive prgress with this, but if it were t be rlled ut t millins f peple, we’d need t be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.
Hw many peple will actually want t have technlgy literally put int their brain? A surprising 60 percent f Americans say they’d be kay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theretical. In reality, the pssibility f having strangers stick chips in yur brain is likely t prve unattractive, especially fr a ppulatin where millins get mad at fictinal micrchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even mre are frightened f dentists.
Ultimately, the technlgy f cmputer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away frm us.
18. What des the underlined wrd “shun” in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. develpB. avidC. changeD. trust
19. What des the authr want t tell us by the examples in paragraph 3?
A. The pssible treatment fr particular diseases.
B. The prcess f human-cmputer interactin.
C. The existing applicatin f micrchip implants.
D. The future f micrchips and devices alike.
20. Which f the fllwing is NOT the cncern abut the implanting technlgy?
A. The right materials used fr the chips.
B. The exact psitin in the brain fr the chips.
C. The chips’ precise sensitivity t functin in the brain.
D. The extensive use f the chips n all humans.
21. What might be the best title fr the text?

Animal appear t predict earthquakes by sensing electricity in the air — the first study t find reliable evidence f the phenmenn has shwn.
Cameras revealed an “amazing” drp in the number f animals up t 23 days befre a majr quake hit their rainfrest hme at Yanachaga Natinal Park in Peru. Lead scientist Dr Rachel Grant, frm Anglia Ruskin University, said, “The results shwed that just befre the earthquake, animals’ activity drpped right dwn.”
On a nrmal day the cameras placed arund Yanachaga Natinal Park recrd between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days befre the earthquake, the number f animals drpped t five r fewer per day. N animals were phtgraphed at all n five f the seven days immediately befre the quake.
Anther study shwed that animal activity remained nrmal in the park ver a different perid when seismic (地震的) activity was lw. C-authr, prfessr Friedemann Freund, said, “The cameras were lcated at an altitude f 900 meters. If air inizatin ccurred, the animals wuld escape t the valley belw, where there were fewer psitive ins ( 离子). With their ability t sense their envirnment, animals can help us understand small changes that ccur befre majr earthquakes.”
Other evidence suggested that befre the earthquake, the air arund the high muntain sites filled with psitive ins that can be prduced when rcks are placed under stress. Psitive ins have been knwn t cause ill effects in humans as well as animals. Scientists believe the animals were made t feel uncmfrtable by the psitive ins, leading them t avid the area. They are thught t have escaped t lwer grund, where the air was less inized. The findings may help experts develp better shrt-term seismic frecasts.
22. Hw did scientists cnduct the study?
A. By cmparing different animals’ habits.
B By bserving animals in high muntains.
C. By explaining the psitive in phenmenn.
D. By analyzing images f animals they btained.
23. What can be inferred frm animal activity befre earthquakes?
A. The grund at a lwer altitude is less inized.
B. Cameras nrmally recrd mre animals per day.
C. Earthquake warnings can be detected in lwer places.
D. The activity f animals and earthquakes is cnsistent.
24. What can we learn frm the text?
A. The findings make fr accurate seismic frecast.
B. Animals tend t be uneasy with mre psitive ins.
C. Psitive ins make humans and animals depressed.
D. All the animals remain abnrmal befre the earthquake.
25. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Negative Influence f Psitive Ins.
B. Ins’ Destructin t the Envirnment.
C. Animals’ Behavir Befre Earthquakes.
D. Creatures’ Ability t Predict Earthquakes.

Sn, peple came frm far and wide t buy it (while rivals tried their best t cpy it). The enterprising widw, Ta Huabi, decided t pen a factry t bttle her magic sauce. It became the best-selling chile-sauce brand in China and made Ms. Ta a billinaire.
This is the true stry f chile crisp, a chile il bsted by crunchy chiles (菜椒), fermented (发酵) sybeans, garlic and, kay, MSG. The“it”cndiment (调味料) f the pandemic, this vigrus bster f taste and texture is a gift t fatigued cks wh struggle t find jy in the kitchen. Unlike s many game-changing Asian ingredients that Westemers “discver”, this ne is actually relatively new. Ms. Ta launched her La Gan Ma, r “Gd-mther” brand in 1997. It is nw available wrldwide.
Ndles, dumplings and stir-fries are bvius and very gd uses fr this sauce. But the chile-crisp-mad internet has inspired all manner f mashups. Chile crisp n brccli, pineapple and even vanilla ice cream are all guaranteed t gamer (获得) likes.

Sme peple wrry that there’s t much technlgy in ur lives. And they may have a pint, given hw cuntless peple nw carry the Internet arund in their pcket and use it as a primary frm f cmmunicatin. It’s practically difficult t shun technlgy in ur wrld. There are cmputer micrchips in ur watches, ur cars, light switches, even ur pets! Where will it end?
Well, if certain peple have their way, it’ll g even further. We’ll have micrchips implanted int ur brains that can interact with the cmputers by thught alne. It may sund like smething frm the science fictin, but in many ways, things lk quite prmising. Thanks t the ability t send and receive infrmatin remtely via cmputers, micrchips and ther related devices have lng been put int brains.
Fr example electrdes have been implanted in the brains f epilepsy patients t better recrd and even predict the abnrmal neurlgical activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulatin, thrugh implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regins, is an established treatment fr things like Parkinsn’s disease, and is even being lked int fr illnesses like depressin.
Hwever, it’s anther thing t place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical cncerns, nt least f which is what these chips will be made f. The inside f the brain is a mass f highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants wuld need t be dull enugh t nt upset the delicate prcesses by their presence, but als sensitive enugh t read and prcess the activity arund them. Current technlgy has made impressive prgress with this, but if it were t be rlled ut t millins f peple, we’d need t be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.
Hw many peple will actually want t have technlgy literally put int their brain? A surprising 60 percent f Americans say they’d be kay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theretical. In reality, the pssibility f having strangers stick chips in yur brain is likely t prve unattractive, especially fr a ppulatin where millins get mad at fictinal micrchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even mre are frightened f dentists.
Ultimately, the technlgy f cmputer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away frm us.

Animal appear t predict earthquakes by sensing electricity in the air — the first study t find reliable evidence f the phenmenn has shwn.
Cameras revealed an “amazing” drp in the number f animals up t 23 days befre a majr quake hit their rainfrest hme at Yanachaga Natinal Park in Peru. Lead scientist Dr Rachel Grant, frm Anglia Ruskin University, said, “The results shwed that just befre the earthquake, animals’ activity drpped right dwn.”
On a nrmal day the cameras placed arund Yanachaga Natinal Park recrd between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days befre the earthquake, the number f animals drpped t five r fewer per day. N animals were phtgraphed at all n five f the seven days immediately befre the quake.
Anther study shwed that animal activity remained nrmal in the park ver a different perid when seismic (地震的) activity was lw. C-authr, prfessr Friedemann Freund, said, “The cameras were lcated at an altitude f 900 meters. If air inizatin ccurred, the animals wuld escape t the valley belw, where there were fewer psitive ins ( 离子). With their ability t sense their envirnment, animals can help us understand small changes that ccur befre majr earthquakes.”
Other evidence suggested that befre the earthquake, the air arund the high muntain sites filled with psitive ins that can be prduced when rcks are placed under stress. Psitive ins have been knwn t cause ill effects in humans as well as animals. Scientists believe the animals were made t feel uncmfrtable by the psitive ins, leading them t avid the area. They are thught t have escaped t lwer grund, where the air was less inized. The findings may help experts develp better shrt-term seismic frecasts.
22. Hw did scientists cnduct the study?
A. By cmparing different animals’ habits.
B By bserving animals in high muntains.
C. By explaining the psitive in phenmenn.
D. By analyzing images f animals they btained.
23. What can be inferred frm animal activity befre earthquakes?
A. The grund at a lwer altitude is less inized.
B. Cameras nrmally recrd mre animals per day.
C. Earthquake warnings can be detected in lwer places.
D. The activity f animals and earthquakes is cnsistent.
24. What can we learn frm the text?
A. The findings make fr accurate seismic frecast.
B. Animals tend t be uneasy with mre psitive ins.
C. Psitive ins make humans and animals depressed.
D. All the animals remain abnrmal befre the earthquake.
25. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Negative Influence f Psitive Ins.
B. Ins’ Destructin t the Envirnment.
C. Animals’ Behavir Befre Earthquakes.
D. Creatures’ Ability t Predict Earthquakes.
