Having wrked as a village dctr fr nearly tw decades, Yang Lianying, a 44-year-ld deputy t the 14th Natinal Peple’s Cngress, stands ut as a vice fr her prfessin. “My biggest hpe is that villagers are healthy,” says Yang.
Brn in Mengzi, Yunnan, in 1980, Yang was a farmer fr many years befre she began t receive medical training in 2005 in the hpe f making a better living. Speaking abut why she chse t becme a dctr, she remembers when she was abut 8 years ld, her mther went int shck due t an allergic reactin. With n village dctr, her mther’s life seemed t hang by a thread. The experience planted a seed in her heart and made her think that if she had a chance t learn medicine in the future, she wuld wrk hard, and maybe ne day be able t help patients wh experienced emergencies like her mther.
In 2008, Yang’s dream came true when she was appinted as a dctr in Henan village, and made respnsible fr prviding basic public health services, but she sn fund ut that it was nt an easy jb.
Since Henan village is lcated in a muntainus area and villagers live far apart, she ften has t hike lng distances t visit them at hme and check n their health regularly. Mrever, village dctrs dn’t earn much, and have heavy wrklads. Yang is respnsible fr the healthcare f the entire village f nearly 2,000 with ne ther clleague. Additinally, village dctrs dn’t earn large pensins fr life after retirement. Because f this, few yung peple are eager t step int the prfessin.
But Yang keeps ging. “Actually, I lve this jb and regard all the difficulties I encunter as bstacles t cnquer. I get n well with the villagers, and they trust and respect me. It’s a great pleasure t hear them call me ‘dctr’,” she says.
She has suggested that the gvernment ffer village dctrs mre supprt, especially in terms f pensins and medical training.

Rbts have prved very useful in different situatins. But thse rbts are small remte-cntrlled tanks with a mechanical (机械的) arm, and they can get stuck n narrw stairwells (楼梯井) and are stpped by ladders. “A lt f the places where yu d disaster recvery are nly accessible fr peple,” says Marc Raibert, the president f Bstn Dynamics, which is prviding advice and help fr Defense Advanced Research Prjects Agency (DARPA), t create the mst advanced rbts n earth. “If yu have a humanid (a machine r creature with the appearance and qualities f a human), access can be increased and yu can use available tls.” In the future, DARPA hpes a humanid rbt will be able t drive trucks, and enter pwer plants.
That future is a lng way ff. Simple mvements like squatting (蹲) are almst impssible fr smething with metal parts and skin that cannt bend, says Raibert. Still, recent prgress is impressive enugh that the military has begun t develp legged rbts. The Office f Naval
Research is wrking with Virginia Tech n a humanid firefighting rbt, and Dynamics shwed ff its latest prjects: Cheetah, a fur•legged and headless rbt able t run 28 miles per hur and d backflip. It can run with energy efficiency that culd cmpete that f real running animals. “Half the land n earth is t rugh, sandy, r rcky fr wheeled things,” says Raibert. “Humans and animals can g t thse places. Hwever, they dn’t have the capacity t carry heavy lads in all kinds f terrains (地形). Legged rbts like cheetah are the nly successful examples that d what we’re trying t d.”
Nne f the walking rbts is meant t fight. They’re designed t put ut fires and clean up industrial accidents. But they are all funded by the military. “I’m well aware f hw the wrld wrks,” says Dennis Hng, funding directr f Virginia Tech’s rbtics lab. “Rbts fr me are tls t help sciety, nt t fight in wars. But nce a technlgy leaves ur lab, there’s n way t cntrl hw peple can use it.”
8. What is a humanid rbt designed t d accrding t Marc Raibert?
A. T accmplish cmplex tasks.
B. T be cntrlled efficiently.
C. T appear friendly.
D. T survive disasters.
9. Which f the fllwing is mst likely t be Cheetah?
A. B. C. D.
10. Why d the scientists create the legged rbt?
A. It can run as fast as running animals.
B. It can imprve the energy efficiency.
C. It can adapt t different surrundings.
D. It can help human in tugh situatin.
11. Hw des Dennis Hng feel abut using rbts in wars?
A Supprtive.B. Careful.C. Uninterested.D. Disapprving.

Tw and a half mnths befre the 2024 Atlantic hurricane seasn fficially begins, frecasters have already predicted and warned that warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and the develpment f a La Niña in the Pacific may create a “perfect strm” f the cnditins needed fr majr hurricanes.
Key t the frmatin f any trpical cyclne（气旋）is the cmbinatin f warm cean temperatures and the absence f what is knwn as wind shear. Alex DaSilva, a frecaster, explains that wind shear ccurs when wind changes directin and speed at different heights in the atmsphere. When there’s much wind shear, it essentially kncks ver thse cluds and prevents trpical systems frm really becming strnger. Besides, hurricanes als need surface water t be at a temperature f 26 degrees Celsius r higher. That warm water, and the warm air just abve it, prvides fuel fr the strm. The recrd data fr February are 1.2 degrees Celsius abve nrmal.
Over perids ranging frm three t seven years, the waters f the central and eastern trpical Pacific Ocean alternately（交替地）warm and cl as a result f a repeatedly ccurring climate pattern called the El Niñ-Suthern Oscillatin (ENSO). During an El Niñ, sea surface temperatures in the eastern Pacific increase, and thse warmer temperatures affect the path f the Pacific jet stream, which in turn brings drier, warmer weather t the nrthern United States and Canada, and wetter cnditins t the Gulf Cast and sutheast. El Niñ reduces the pssibility f Atlantic hurricane frmatin because it lwers hurricane activity and increases wind shear. La Niña has just the ppsite effect f El Niñ. During the 2023 seasn, ENSO was in an El Niñ phase. By the time the 2024 seasn starts, it is likely t have shifted fully int a La Niña.
“If a trpical strm system cmes int this area, it culd rapidly intensify, ptentially clse t land,” DaSilva cautins. “And that’s why peple need t be n alert and have their hurricane plans ready. Because any system with these kinds f cnditins can explde very quickly. That’s what we’re cncerned abut.”
12. Where can yu prbably read this article?
A.
B.
C.
D.
13. What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The explanatin f wind shear.
B. The timing f the hurricane seasn.
C. The prcess f hurricane frmatin.
D. The reasn fr warmer surface water.
14. Hw can a La Niña affect the frmatin f hurricanes?
A. Generate less wind shear.
B. Mre rainfall in the Gulf Cast.
C. Blck the path f the Pacific jet stream.
D. Higher temperature in the nrthern America.
15. What is the purpse f writing this article?
A. T reprt the hurricane-struck areas.
B. T remind peple f getting prepared.
C. T intrduce sme gegraphic knwledge.
D. T explain the features f El Niñ and La Niña.

Beautiful Birthmarks: The Pwer f Acceptance
Whenever yu hear the wrd “birthmark (胎记)”, yu prbably think f ne f thse black r brwn spts yu have smewhere n yur bdy. Hwever, fr me, it’s cmpletely different — I have them bth n my lips and inside my muth, which make them quite visible and, t me, ugly. When
I was yung, these birthmarks kept making me feel extremely awkward and self-cnscius (难为情的). As these birthmarks always drew a lt f attentin, peple ften asked me, “What are thse black marks n yur lips?” When I tld peple that they were birthmarks, they usually said, “Hw strange！”
In pictures, I used t hide my birthmarks by pursing (噘起) my lips, s I wuld nt have t deal with peple’s questins. As I was grwing up, the situatin didn’t get any better. In the schl, my classmates wuld always tease me, making me feel hurt and helpless. In sciety, I ften encuntered individuals wh wuld inquire abut my birthmarks even befre they knew my name.
Such experiences left me feeling disheartened. I felt like peple judged me by my appearance withut cnsidering my persnality.
My birthmarks are caused by a genetic cnditin frm my mm’s side f the family. My mm’s mm has birthmarks n her lips, and my mm’s uncle and my uncle have sme n their bdies. I used t try t cver them up with makeup, but it never lked gd. I even cnsulted a dctr, wanting t have surgery t remve them. But when imagining the prcess, I wuld get nervus and eventually give up.
Whenever I cried t my mm abut them, she wuld always cmfrt me and say, “Learn t accept them and see them as beautiful birthmarks.” Hwever, it wasn’t easy fr me t accept my wn birthmarks. Every time I shwed my birthmarks, peple wuld lk at me with strange eyes. I began t regret why I had given up n the surgery and chsen t accept my birthmarks.
