She actually did nt pick up the sprt until after she lst the lwer part f her left leg in 2001 t a type f cancer called Ewing sarcma.Runners using a prsthetic leg can’t use a regular ne.They need a running blade (刀锋式跑步义肢).Hunt-Brersma has tw, but she was nly able t run with ne because f the swelling she experienced in her left leg that made it impssible t cnnect t the ther blade.But even with the pain that ccurred, she has been able t put up with it and cntinued.
All tgether, Hunt-Brersma ran ver 4,385 kilmeters.During that time she has had a lt f time t think and has learned a few things abut herself.“It has taught me hw strng ne can be and hw imprtant abslute determinatin is.If yu’re mentally strng, yu can d anything,” she said.“And ur bdies are just amazing.This whle jurney was impressive and super hard, but it’s tld me hw strng I can be as a persn and hw far I can push myself.”

The Envirnmental Prtectin Agency(EPA)has annunced the first-ever limits n PFAS, als knwn as frever chemicals, in drinking water. The agency says that the new rule will prtect 100 millin Americans frm six PFAS knwn t cause a hst f health prblems. “I supprt the decisin,” says Susan M. Pinney, directr f the Center fr Envirnmental Genetics at the University f Cincinnati. “It’s in line with what we knw abut the health effects f PFAS.”
But while public health experts apprve f the new rule, they think that getting frever chemicals ut f ur drinking water will be a demanding task given the great quantity f PFAS fund in it alng with the difficulty in remving them. And it may cme at a cst t cnsumers.
The dwnside f the new rule is the cst f emplying the technlgy t fix the prblem. The EPA guesses that between 6 and 10 percent f the natin’s 66,000 public drinking water systems may have t make changes t their infrastructure (基础设施) in rder t fllw the new rule. Eleven states already limit PFAS levels but many will still have t make peratinal changes if their levels are abve the natinal limit. The first task, Pinney says, shuld be determining the surce f pllutin t prevent it frm entering the water system—which is cheaper and easier than remving pllutin that’s already there.
The EPA estimates the annual cst at abut $1.5 billin but Chris Mdy, frm the American Water Wrks Assciatin(AWWA), thinks it’s been vastly underestimated. In a reprt last year, AWWA estimated the implementatin (执行) budget at clse t $3. 8 billin. What will that mean fr the water bill? Mdy says the cst burden depends n the size f yur lcal water treatment facility. “Small systems just dn’t have the ecnmy f scale (规模经济) s the cst is much higher per husehld,” he says.
While the EPA has nly put strict limits n six PFAS based n a lt f scientific evidence, thusands mre are still in the envirnment. The hpe is that nce new infrastructure is in place it will als remve many f thse chemicals that haven’t yet been banned.
8．What is the primary gal f the EPA’s new rule?
A. T prtect public health by reducing expsure t PFAS.
B. T identify health prblems caused by PFAS.
C. T mnitr PFAS levels in drinking water.
D. T limit PFAS use in industry.
9．What shuld be the first step in addressing PFAS in drinking water accrding t Susan M. Pinney?
A. Establishing natinal standards fr PFAS levels.
B. Making peratinal changes t water facilities.
C. Cunting PFAS-plluted water systems.
D. Identifying the rigin f pllutin.
10．What is the water bill clsely related t accrding t Chris Mdy?
A. The AWWA’s level f supprt.
B. The accuracy f the EPA’s estimates.
C. The size f the lcal water treatment systems.
D. The lcal ecnmic perfrmance ver the past year.
11．What des the EPA expect f the new infrastructure?
A. It’ll put stricter limits n the six knwn PFAS.
B. It’ll remve many PFAS chemicals still allwed.
C. It’ll be mre envirnmentally friendly.
D. It’ll be put int use as sn as pssible.
The Frsa Ring is an irn ring frm Hälsingland, dating back t the 10th century. The inscriptin (铭文) n the ring describes fines fr a specific crime, where payment was t be made in the frm f xen and silver. The ring is believed t have been used as a dr handle and is currently the ldest knwn preserved legal text in Scandinavia. By changing the translatin f the wrd “auk” frm the previus interpretatin “and” t the new interpretatin “als” the meaning changes s that fines culd be paid cither with an x r with tw re f silver. An re was equal t abut 25 grams f silver.
“This indicates a much mre flexible system, where bth xen and silver culd be used as units f payment. If a persn had easier access t xen than t silver, they culd pay their fines with an x. On the cntrary, if smene had silver but n xen, they culd pay with tw re f silver,” says Rdney Edvinssn.
The new interpretatin shws that the Vikings had a system where bth xen and silver served as units f payment. This system allwed fr multiple types f units f accunts t be used at the same time, reducing transactin (交易) difficulty and making it easier fr individuals t meet their financial respnsibilities. The new interpretatin als agrees better with hw the system functined later accrding t later reginal laws and is, accrding t Rdney Edvinssn, significant fr ur understanding f bth Scandinavian and Eurpean histry f mney.
Edvinssn previusly cntributed t develping a histrical cnsumer price index as far back as the 13th century, but this new interpretatin prvides insights int price levels even earlier in histry. The study highlights the imprtance f using mdern ecnmic theries t interpret histrical surces. By cmbining ecnmic thery with archaelgical (考古学的) and histrical findings, new pprtunities fr crss-field research and a deeper understanding f early ecnmic systems are pened up.
12．What can we learn frm the first tw paragraphs?
A．Vikings nly accepted silver as payment fr fines frm crimes.
B．Vikings had n knwledge f legal systems befre the 10th century.
C．The Frsa Ring inscriptin suggested punishments in xen and silver.
D．The Frsa Ring was mainly used as a means f trading xen and silver.
13．Which f the fllwing is an advantage f the payment system?
A．Peple fund it mre cnvenient t pay their fines.
B．Accrding t later reginal laws, it functined better.
C．It allwed fr a unique kind f currency unit t be used.
D．It became easier fr gvernments t settle their financial duties.
14．What is the significance f the new interpretatin?
A．It is abut 3 centuries lder than Rdney Edvinssn’s previus study.
B．A new means f interpreting bistrical surces f inscriptin is available.
C．It shws that early Scandinavians had an advanced verall payment system.
D．Opprtunities f crss-field research and understanding early ecnmies emerge.
15．What is the best title f the passage?
A．Early Payment Systems in Scandinavia.

16．Why we frget

It may be because we are in a rush r we cnsider it irrelevant at the time. When we d stre infrmatin, we ften make cnnectins with ther things, which helps us recall it later. ②_____ It is als pssible that memries decline ver time. If yu dn't perfrm a task fr a lng perid f time, it can be difficult t recall hw t d it. This culd be because ur memry is full, r ur shrt-term memry is easier t access.
③_____Have yu ever gne int a rm t fetch smething nly t frget what yu wanted when yu gt there? This is called "The Drway Effect". This ccurs because we change bth the physical and mental envirnments, mving t a different rm and thinking abut many different things.
S, if yu have a mind like a sieve（筛子）, it culd be because yu have t much n yur mind. But we d need t keep ur memry sharp by cntinually using it.④_____ That's when we're at mre risk f getting Alzheimer's disease.
Hwever, frgetting is nt always a bad thing！wuld waste cgnitive resurces if we remembered every detail f the wrld arund us. ⑤_____
A. That's smething wrth remembering!
B. Maybe it's n surprise that smetimes we are frgetful.
C. But smetimes even ur shrt-term memry can let us dwn.
D. If yu dn't have these cnnectins, then it can be easier t frget.
E. Hwever, it is widely recgnized that shrt-term memry can be imprved.
F. We als need sme mental relaxatin such as listening t sme classical music.

When I left that evening, I lked back at the garden. I was s prud t see the seedlings I had grwn myself. I knew the day I spent with my grandmther wuld remain in my heart frever. I helped my grandmther, and in the prcess, I received a gift far greater than I culd have imagined. I had learned the art f gardening. Mre imprtantly, I had deepened my bnd with my grandmther, a cnnectin that wuld flurish like the seeds we had planted tgether. I lk frward t gardening with my grandmther again in the future.
