Dan Mancina is a skatebarder whse jaw-drpping vides get hundreds f thusands f views. Mancina als happens t be blind, and vides f him using his white cane (手杖) as he skatebards have gained admiratin frm fans arund the wrld.
“I’ve lst my visin slwly thrughut my life,"Mancina said. It wasn’t until his mid-20s that his cnditin—an eye disease started t affect his day-t-day life, stpping him frm driving and biking. The Michigan native started skating at seven, and gt int it mre seriusly at 13, saying the sprt helps him express himself. He stpped skating fr a cuple f years. This perid, the 35-year-ld said, was his “lwest pint”.
Hwever, mbility training helped him gain cnfidence. Slwly, he returned t ding what he lved. Mancina started filming shrt vides f his prgress and psting them nline and met a new grup f peple t skate with, gaining enugh cnfidence t return t the streets. “I was just actually trying it, and then realized I was still the same persn and that I culd still d all the things that I lve,” he said.
Nw, Mancina wants t create spaces where visually impaired (视力受损的) peple can enjy the sprt. “I wanted t build the first skatepark designed fr visually impaired peple, s I started a fundatin called ‘Keep Pushing’ and have been raising mney ever since fr a few years nw,” he said. The park, set t be built in Michigan, will use adaptive methds, such as increasing the size f bstacles, t make it safe and accessible.
“T change the perceptin f the visually impaired, I started my scial media stuff. Sme peple think it’s crazy fr a blind peple t skate. It’s nt that crazy in my head. I just enjy skating.

After waking up, yu may feel frustrated that yu cannt recall the dreams yu had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able t help.
Previusly, there have been AI mdels that can turn text int images. They can d this by learning frm a large amunt f data frm bth tests and images. This time, researchers frm Osaka University in Japan have trained an AIsystem called Stable Diffusin t re-create images based n peple’s brain scans, reprted Science magazine.
The researchers used an nline data set prvided by the University f Minnesta, US which cnsisted f brain scans frm fur participants as they each viewed a set f 10,000 phts The scans were recrded by functinal magnetic resnance imaging (FMRI功能性磁共振成像).
The AI then learned abut the brain activities by analyzing changes in bld flw shwn by the FMRI data — when a part f the brain is activated, mre bld will flw t it. It then matched the brain activities with the phts. Thrugh this methd, AI learned hw human brains wuld react when seeing different phts.
Finally, the researchers tested the Al n additinal brain scans frm the same participants when they viewed phts f a ty bear, airplane, clck and train. If the persn lked at an airplane, fr example, the Al wuld use the brain scan data t create an image f a very blurry airplane. Then, it wuld turn n the previus “text-t-image” mdel and make the image clear by feeding itself the keywrd “airplane”, The final images were “cnvincing” with abut 80 percent f accuracy, accrding t the researchers.
The new study created a nvel apprach that incrprates texts and images t “decipher (解码) the brain”, Ariel Gldstein frm Princetn University, US, tld Science magazine. In the future, scientists hpe that the technlgy can be used t recrd imagined thughts and dreams r allw peple t understand hw differently ther animals perceive reality.
28. What d we knw abut Stable Diffusin?
A. It can help train peple’s minds.
B. It can fully present peple’s dreams.
C. It was created t draw peple’s brains!
D. It can prduce pictures frm peple’s thughts.
29. Hw did the Al system learn abut human brain activity?
A. By recrding brain scans frm participants.
B. By analyzing descriptins f human thughts
C. By studying patterns f bld flw in the brain.
D. By examining 10,000 phts abut human brains.
30. What des the underlined wrd “blurry” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Unclear.B. Striking.C. Factual.D. Unusual.
31. What is the ptential use f this technlgy accrding t scientists?
A. T help understand ur dreams.B. T imprve text-t-image mdels.
C. T create mre accurate brain scans.D. T learn hw animals view the wrld.

Chinese fd is well received by the wrld. Wh desn’t lng fr a favrite Chinese dish? But there is ne interesting cncept cncerning Chinese fd which is almst unheard f in the West, and which is becming increasingly ignred by the yuth f the East — the ancient custm f “tnic (滋补) fd”.
Tnic fd is fd which is cnsumed t imprve ne’s well-being r avid sickness. Fr instance, it was nce the custm fr new mthers t eat a sesame il (麻油) ht pt every day fr the first mnth after giving birth. It was believed that this dish wuld benefit the muscles, reduce pain, imprve circulatin, stimulate sweating, and warm the bdy. Sme fds, such as gat meat and spinach, are seen as “ht”, while thers, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes, are seen as “cld”. One shuld be careful nt t eat t much f either “ht” r “cld” fd. Hwever, hw much “ht” r “cld” fd ne shuld eat depends n the time f the year, hw the fd is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual’s health.
The custm f emplying tnic fd fr a healthier life als influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as wlfberry (枸杞), can be fund n many a restaurant menu, either added t fruit tea r as a beneficial additin t a dish. These herbs attract custmers, such as verwrked ffice staff, in need f a mdest pick-me-up.
S, whether yu need t bst yur strength with a large helping f chicken sup, r increase yur mental pwers with a serving f fish sup, yu may find that this ancient Chinese custm culd be just the tnic yu were lking fr.
