I was just rwing and cllapsing. I went thrugh sme pretty dark times.”
But after 42 days n the water, Davies reached Antigua t becme ne f the nly six wmen in the wrld ver the age f 60 t have rwed acrss an cean. “I was exhausted and I was als s prud f myself,” she says.
Davies began rwing when she was 53, after sptting a six-ar (桨) rwing bat in Bristl harbr. Attracted by its size and appearance, she spke t the crew and was encuraged t d a trial run. “As sn as I gt n the water, I fell in lve with it,” she says. “Feeling yur whle bdy wrking and the fresh air n yur skin is amazing.”
It wasn’t until 2017, thugh, that her Atlantic plans were brn. Suffering frm a herniated disc (椎间盘突出), she was nly able t crawl ut f bed. “I began thinking f things I culd lk frward t after I had surgery,” she says. “One day I was reading abut wmen adventurers when it hit me that nce better, I wuld rw acrss an cean.”
After successful surgery, Davies began driving t meet ther wmen wh had undertaken rws. Hearing the experiences and advice f them gave Davies the cnfidence. Sn after, she heard that a new bat prducer was rganizing a team fr a vyage acrss the Atlantic and she jined it immediately.
“In June, I’m planning t break a few wrld recrds by rwing arund the UK when I’m 64, and I want t mtrcycle thrugh the Himalayas later in the year. After all, we need things t lk back n.” she says.

Hummingbirds are small birds but they’re the Olympic gymnasts f the flying wrld. They have strngly muscled bdies and rather lng wings. They fly arund at remarkable speeds and fly in all directins, including backward and upside dwn.
T achieve such agility (敏捷), hummingbirds use distinct mdes f visual prcessing t cntrl different types f flight. Their brains can make rapid transitins frm visual signals t mtr utputs. They take in lts f cmplicated visual infrmatin and make a flight plan ut f that. Recently, the researchers have uncvered a unique mde that guides hummingbirds’ speed when they are flying frward.
The findings cme frm an experiment f mre than 3,500 hummingbird flights inside a 12-ft-lng tunnel (通道) with a branch at ne end and a feeder at the ther. Mving light patterns cast n the tunnel walls influence hw the hummingbirds see things while flying.
The researchers expected that if the hummingbirds were using visual clues t cntrl their frward flight speed, they wuld see the birds speed r slw with lights cast n the side walls. But instead, it seemed that they had their wn way f knwing hw fast t g fr frward flight. When mving up r dwn, hwever, the birds based their mtr cmmands n the cast light patterns they saw.
This special ability helps hummingbirds fly safely and quickly. This knwledge culd be useful fr imprving drne（无人机）technlgy, helping engineers develp better ways fr drnes t predict and respnd t changes in their surrundings. “If we can develp a mathematical mdel fr this visual prcessing, it culd be very useful fr drnes.” says B Cheng, a mechanical engineer, at Pennsylvania State University.
28. What cntributes mst t hummingbirds’ agility in flight?
A. Their small size and light bdy.
B. Their strng muscles and lng wings.
C. Their strng sense f directin.
D. Their wn way t handle what they see.
29. Hw did the researchers test the hummingbirds’ respnse?
A. By placing barriers in the tunnel.
B. By changing the psitin f the feeder.
C. By prjecting mving light patterns.
D. By adjusting the brightness f the tunnel.
30. What did the researchers think f hummingbirds’ reactin?
A. Surprising.B. Discuraging.C. Satisfactry.D. Amusing.
31. Which field is mre likely t benefit frm the research?
A. Wild bird prtectin.B. Math-based game design.
C. Behaviral and brain science.D. Bi-inspired technlgy applicatin.
D
Sensry-based fd educatin given t 3-5 year-ld children in the kindergarten increases their willingness t chse vegetables and fruit, accrding t a new study frm the University f Eastern Finland.
The researchers used the sensry-based fd educatin methd Sapere, which makes use f children’s natural way f relying n all f the five senses when learning new things. In the Sapere methd, children are given an active rle arund fd, and they are encuraged t share their sensry experiences. Fr example, kindergartens can intrduce different vegetables and fruit t children in hands-n sessins, they can invlve children in baking and cking, and they can ffer children pprtunities fr grwing their wn vegetables in the kindergarten backyard. Fd-related themes can als be included in bks and games.
“There are several different ways t d this. Hwever, it always starts frm sensry-based learning and child engagement. Ding and experiencing things tgether is als an imprtant aspect,” says Kaisa Kähkönen, a researcher and nutritinist frm the University f Eastern Finland.
The researchers cmpared children in different kindergarten grups. Sme were ffered sensry-based fd educatin, while thers weren’t. Children were ffered a snack buffet cntaining different vegetables and fruit t chse frm, and the researchers tk phts f their plates t analyze their willingness t chse and eat these fd items.
The findings shw that sensry-based fd educatin increased children’s willingness t chse vegetables and fruit, especially amng children whse mthers have a lwer educatinal backgrund. On average, children f lwer educated parents tend t eat less vegetables and fruit. This is hw fd educatin given in the kindergarten can help even ut dietary gap between families.
“Anther interesting finding is that the Sapere fd educatin methd als seems t imprve the eating atmsphere in kindergarten grups. This encuraged children wh were picky eaters t chse a mre diverse selectin n their plate,” Kähkönen explains.
Psitive and persnal fd-related experiences gained in the kindergarten can help adjust dietary preferences in a directin that is beneficial fr health. Dietary preferences learned in early childhd ften stick with a persn all the way t adlescence and adulthd.
32. What can we knw abut the Sapere methd?
A. It imprves kids’ five senses.
B. It enables kids t read mre bks.
C. It supplies varius healthy fd t kids.
D. It invlves kids in active fd-related activities.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The research purpse.B. The research prcess.
C. The research findings.D. The research evaluatin.
34. What des the underlined part “even ut” in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Narrw.B. Identify.C. Analyze.D. Examine.
35. What might be the best title fr the text?
A. Benefits f eating fruit and vegetables.
B. Differences in family dietary preferences.
C. Necessity fr kids t frm learning habits.
D. New methd t prmte kids’ healthy eating.

When I was seven years ld, my family mved frm Mexic t America. In Mexic, I was a cheerful girl wh lved making peple laugh with my jkes and inventing fun games t play with my friends. Hwever, when I arrived in America, I fund it hard t fit in, and I became quieter.
We lived in a small huse with a mdest yard where we grew vegetables-my respnsibility. While I tk pride in watching them grw, there were times when I dreamed f having a beautiful garden like my schlmate Luella's, with its delicate tulips (郁金香).Althugh Luella lived in the same neighbrhd as me, we barely knew each ther.
It was after a trnad that Luella and I finally became clse friends.
The trnad struck n a Sunday afternn. The gentle breeze transfrmed int a strng wind, and thick gray cluds filled the sky, Gradually, the trnad tk shape, starting as a thin rpe and grwing int a large black funnel (漏斗).My entire family gathered in the bathrm, seeking shelter frm the strm. Terrified, I sat clse t my mm, knees in my chest. After the strm had passed, ur wrries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that ur huse had remained undamaged.
As I stepped utside, I witnessed the extent f the damage the trnad had caused t ur neighbrhd. Acrss the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing Luella's garden in frnt f her yellw huse. We hurried ver t check n it. Frtunately, her family seemed t be away at the time, and n ne was injured. Hwever, her nce-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destrying the tulips and debris (碎片) spread everywhere. I culd nly imagine hw heartbrken they must feel seeing this.
Then my mm's usual wrds rang in my ear, “It is mre blessed t give than t receive,” and my family started t think abut hw we culd help.

W: Gd evening, everyne. I recently learnt Arabic in Cair as part f my degree. My interest in the language was due t the passin f ur Arabic lecturer and as the curse prgressed, my interest in the culture als grew with it. I cnsidered studying in the Middle East, but ultimately decided n Cair due t its energetic cultural scene. Hwever, in the city, we faced sme challenges, including difficulties finding a htel and accmmdatin as we were a grup f unmarried individuals. Once settled, the culture shck was intense fr sme f us. One member f ur grup returned hme within the first week. Luckily I became accustmed t the life in Cair gradually. The biggest challenge f learning Arabic is the discnnectin between the written and the spken frms. Despite these challenges, learning Arabic has been a rewarding experience, including absrbing myself in the culture and getting t knw the lcals and even negtiating at a lcal market. Highlights were being invited t a traditinal Arabic meal at ne f the lcals’ hme and being able t cnfidently cmmunicate. Overall, this experience was utside f my cmfrt zne and allwed me t learn and grw in interesting ways. I encurage thers t cnsider invlving themselves in new cultures and languages. Thanks fr listening.
