Smetimes we nly appreciate smething when we realize we may lse it. That is the stry f the Everglades. A shallw slw-mving river, the Everglades nce cvered abut 18,000 square miles f suthern Flrida. Until the 1900s, few peple lived in the grassy wetlands. Nt much was understd abut the unique balance f nature that existed there. Plants, creatures, and water had frmed a remarkable ecsystem.
By the early 1900s, Flrida's pleasant winters attracted mre peple. Visitrs became new permanent residents. They built hmes and rads. The cnditins lked gd fr farming, s the newcmers planted large agricultural crps. But Suth Flrida's cycle f flding was a prblem. T address that, develpers attempted t drain (排水) the land. They als built structures t cntrl water levels and flw.
Thse changes made it easier fr mre peple t live year-rund in Suth Flrida. Hwever, they als disturbed life in the Everglades, which depends n freshwater regularly refilling the land. The area’s grwing human ppulatin needed freshwater. And large farms cnsumed large quantities f freshwater. By the mid -1900s, water levels in suthern Flrida began t g dwn. Lack f freshwater wasn't the nly prblem. As mre and mre land was develped fr peple and farms, the Everglades’ histric bundaries cntracted. Lss f habitat and hunting threatened the survival f native species in the Everglades.
Sme peple hped that the gvernment’s recgnitin might save the Everglades. They fught fr it. Everglades Natinal Park was established in 1947. It became the first park in the United States created fr its bidiversity.
Nw, Everglades Natinal Park prtects 1.5 millin acres alng the suthern tip f Flrida. An amazing variety f creatures live there. Abut 360 different species f birds have been sighted in the park. Nearly 300 different species f fish have been identified. Abut 40 species f mammals and 50 species f reptiles inhabit the park. Nature still rules in the Everglades, a place wrth understanding, appreciating, and prtecting.

A. Naturally wild. B. Partly explred.
C. Cmpletely lifeless. D.Thickly ppulated.
What prblem did new residents cause fr the Everglades?
A cycle f flding.
Pllutin f freshwater.
Pssible extinctin f native species.
The extensin f histric bundaries.
Why are the figures mentined in the last paragraph?
A. T attract visitrs t the park.
B. T stress the great pwer f nature.
C. T call fr mre effrts t prtect nature.
D. T shw the successful cnservatin f the park.

Influenced by factrs like schl funding, sprts facilities, teacher resurces and safety cncerns, traditinal physical educatin was limited t static(静态的) scenes and clsed gyms and playgrunds, which lacked interactin and feedback functins. PE curriculum was als restricted t basic sprts like ball games, track and field and gymnastics. Hwever, the emergence and applicatin f new technlgies like virtual reality (VR), 3D technlgy, greatly expand and innvate sprts scenes, prviding pssibilities fr the cnstructin f a flexible “n-site, n- campus, nline” integrated new sprts wrld.
IT can build nline virtual learning envirnments fr students, creating teaching scenes hard t achieve in physical wrld. Many schls have already partnered with technlgy cmpanies t create different teaching scenes using digital sprts prducts. The University f Suth Flrida has cperated with the VR sprts training cmpany Sense Arena, allwing students t practice tennis n its glbally pineering VR tennis training platfrm. Students use the Meta Quest 2 headset and VR tuching racket(球拍) which imitates the weight and feel f a real tennis racket. The platfrm features 35 training mdes imitating varius scenes in real-life tennis matches, including crwd nise, dazzling sunlight, shadws and wind. Athletes can engage in varius frms f training, such as skill practice, technical analysis and match imitatin. Such virtual sprts teaching space further enhances the experience f PE learning.
Technlgy-based physical educatin nt nly serves rdinary students’ physical health but als addresses the needs f special grups in sprts, especially students wh cannt participate in regular PE classes due t physical, psychlgical r scial adaptatin issues. Many schls ffer specialized sprts prgrams t disabled students, like the “Pathways t Inclusin” prgram launched by the University f Queensland, which tailrs varius sprts activities t different disabilities, such as blind ftball and wheelchair hckey. This is made pssible with the supprt f sprts technlgy, as different symptms require the use f different sprts equipment. Thrugh scientific, healthy and jyful educatinal cncepts, technlgy-empwered PE classes cnvey the values f creating and enjying a persnalized experience, develping a sprts educatin where everyne participates and benefits.

A. By investing mre in basic sprts.
B. By cmbining it with academic study.
C. By making dynamic PE class pssible.
D. By replacing PE teachers with AI teachers.

Peltn star Ben Alldis shares his “frever exercise” tips fr maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Start small. Smething as simple as ging fr a walk in nature is incredibly beneficial fr ur mental and physical health. __16__ Be hnest abut where yu'd like t get t, and put small steps in place t make imprvements.
Mix up yur training. There’s real benefit in just mving yur bdy thrugh things like walking t wrk and gardening. I think the cncept f exercise being “ver here”, and then everything else being “ver there”, is t limiting. It needs t be mre inclusive. __17__

Energy takers are things like spending t much time n scial media and binge drinking; while exercise and gd fd are energy givers.

Give pririty t sleep. I read Matthew Walker's bk Why We Sleep: The New Science f Sleep and Dreams. __19__ I saw a dramatic influence n my prductivity levels and ability t just functin. S I'll lk at what I did last night befre I went t bed, and then lk at the impact it had n my sleep.
Understand yur bdy clck. Everyne has a different rhythm — sme peple wrk better later in the day, thers prefer t get up early. S the mst imprtant thing is finding the right time fr yu. __20__ If yu priritize yur health as much as yu priritise ther things, and schedule it in yur diary like a meeting, it's far mre likely t happen.
A. I've learnt t schedule wrkuts.
B. If cycling's yur usual thing, mix it up with tennis r yga.

Smetimes we nly appreciate smething when we realize we may lse it. That is the stry f the Everglades. A shallw slw-mving river, the Everglades nce cvered abut 18,000 square miles f suthern Flrida. Until the 1900s, few peple lived in the grassy wetlands. Nt much was understd abut the unique balance f nature that existed there. Plants, creatures, and water had frmed a remarkable ecsystem.
By the early 1900s, Flrida's pleasant winters attracted mre peple. Visitrs became new permanent residents. They built hmes and rads. The cnditins lked gd fr farming, s the newcmers planted large agricultural crps. But Suth Flrida's cycle f flding was a prblem. T address that, develpers attempted t drain (排水) the land. They als built structures t cntrl water levels and flw.
Thse changes made it easier fr mre peple t live year-rund in Suth Flrida. Hwever, they als disturbed life in the Everglades, which depends n freshwater regularly refilling the land. The area’s grwing human ppulatin needed freshwater. And large farms cnsumed large quantities f freshwater. By the mid -1900s, water levels in suthern Flrida began t g dwn. Lack f freshwater wasn't the nly prblem. As mre and mre land was develped fr peple and farms, the Everglades’ histric bundaries cntracted. Lss f habitat and hunting threatened the survival f native species in the Everglades.
Sme peple hped that the gvernment’s recgnitin might save the Everglades. They fught fr it. Everglades Natinal Park was established in 1947. It became the first park in the United States created fr its bidiversity.
Nw, Everglades Natinal Park prtects 1.5 millin acres alng the suthern tip f Flrida. An amazing variety f creatures live there. Abut 360 different species f birds have been sighted in the park. Nearly 300 different species f fish have been identified. Abut 40 species f mammals and 50 species f reptiles inhabit the park. Nature still rules in the Everglades, a place wrth understanding, appreciating, and prtecting.

Influenced by factrs like schl funding, sprts facilities, teacher resurces and safety cncerns, traditinal physical educatin was limited t static(静态的) scenes and clsed gyms and playgrunds, which lacked interactin and feedback functins. PE curriculum was als restricted t basic sprts like ball games, track and field and gymnastics. Hwever, the emergence and applicatin f new technlgies like virtual reality (VR), 3D technlgy, greatly expand and innvate sprts scenes, prviding pssibilities fr the cnstructin f a flexible “n-site, n- campus, nline” integrated new sprts wrld.
IT can build nline virtual learning envirnments fr students, creating teaching scenes hard t achieve in physical wrld. Many schls have already partnered with technlgy cmpanies t create different teaching scenes using digital sprts prducts. The University f Suth Flrida has cperated with the VR sprts training cmpany Sense Arena, allwing students t practice tennis n its glbally pineering VR tennis training platfrm. Students use the Meta Quest 2 headset and VR tuching racket(球拍) which imitates the weight and feel f a real tennis racket. The platfrm features 35 training mdes imitating varius scenes in real-life tennis matches, including crwd nise, dazzling sunlight, shadws and wind. Athletes can engage in varius frms f training, such as skill practice, technical analysis and match imitatin. Such virtual sprts teaching space further enhances the experience f PE learning.
Technlgy-based physical educatin nt nly serves rdinary students’ physical health but als addresses the needs f special grups in sprts, especially students wh cannt participate in regular PE classes due t physical, psychlgical r scial adaptatin issues. Many schls ffer specialized sprts prgrams t disabled students, like the “Pathways t Inclusin” prgram launched by the University f Queensland, which tailrs varius sprts activities t different disabilities, such as blind ftball and wheelchair hckey. This is made pssible with the supprt f sprts technlgy, as different symptms require the use f different sprts equipment. Thrugh scientific, healthy and jyful educatinal cncepts, technlgy-empwered PE classes cnvey the values f creating and enjying a persnalized experience, develping a sprts educatin where everyne participates and benefits.

A. By investing mre in basic sprts.
B. By cmbining it with academic study.
C. By making dynamic PE class pssible.
D. By replacing PE teachers with AI teachers.

Start small. Smething as simple as ging fr a walk in nature is incredibly beneficial fr ur mental and physical health. __16__ Be hnest abut where yu'd like t get t, and put small steps in place t make imprvements.

Energy takers are things like spending t much time n scial media and binge drinking; while exercise and gd fd are energy givers.

Give pririty t sleep. I read Matthew Walker's bk Why We Sleep: The New Science f Sleep and Dreams. __19__ I saw a dramatic influence n my prductivity levels and ability t just functin. S I'll lk at what I did last night befre I went t bed, and then lk at the impact it had n my sleep.
Understand yur bdy clck. Everyne has a different rhythm — sme peple wrk better later in the day, thers prefer t get up early. S the mst imprtant thing is finding the right time fr yu. __20__ If yu priritize yur health as much as yu priritise ther things, and schedule it in yur diary like a meeting, it's far mre likely t happen.
