In 2002, young Elon Musk tried unsuccessfully to buy Russian rockets to help him send mice to Mars and back. Afterwards, the young millionaire decided to build his own rockets.

Musk went to Southern California and started hiring people to help bring his dream to life. In a very short time, and despite some failures, his company SpaceX launched Falcon 1, the first successful privately-built liquid fuel rocket, into Earth's orbit in 2008.

As the first Falcon rocket began testing, development was already underway for the Falcon 9. This much larger rocket, which uses nine engines to lift heavy payloads （有效载 荷）into orbit, is engineered to return to Earth, ready to be reused for another flight.

For Musk, space is the final destination. To help people get there, his company Neuralink is developing devices that will link people's brains with computers. A similar device has been developed at the University of Utah. It consists of a chip （芯片）with 256 threads （线程）that is placed between a person's skin and brain. The threads attach directly to brain tissue （脑组织）.Patients who have the device are able to use only their minds to communicate with one another through computers.

Neuralink's chips will have about 1,000 threads. A robot developed by the company will place up to ten chips under a person's skin. The chips will communicate without wires but with a tiny device that will be worn behind the person's ear. That device, in turn, will communicate with computers. The primary market for the technology will be for people that, because of injuries or birth defects, cannot control their hands and arms. With Neuralink^ product, they'll be able to mentally command a computer to type messages for them or carry out other tasks.

Kids often admire well-known celebrities, putting posters of their favorite musicians, movie stars and athletes on their bedroom walls. But rarely does a young person get to meet or talk to their idol. Yet for one young tennis player - Coco Gauff - her chance to do just that happened in an amazing way!

Coco was born on March 13, 2004. At the age of 4, she developed an interest in tennis after watching Venus Williams win the Australian Open on TV. Coco began playing at 7 and showed a real talent for the sport. When young Coco turned 10, she began training at a tennis centre run by Venus's coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. He still remembers the first time he met Coco. He says, “She impressed me with her determination and fighting spirit. ” Convinced of her talent, Mouratoglou sponsored （资助）Coco to attend his academy in France. While she was preparing to go to the academy in 2019, she received a call that would change her plans and her life!

Wimbledon （温布尔顿网球比赛）organizers called and offered Gauff entry to the tournament （联赛）as a wildcard （外卡选手）.This made her one of the youngest players to ever qualify. Before she knew it, she was on her way to London. After arriving, she received another surprise. For her Wimbledon debut （首次登场），she would be playing her lifelong hero, Venus Williams! The tennis legend is 24 years older than Gauff.

The world watched with amazement as young Gauff beat Venus in two straight sets! Afterwards, Gauff shook Venus's hand, thanked her and said, “I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. " After the match, Venus said of Gauff, “I think the sky is the limit； it really is. " Venus said, “I feel honored that I was on her wall [as a poster] at some point in her life. Soon she will be on other girls' walls. It's nice because it will keep going from the next generation to the next generation. "

A male tiger was rescued in Mishan city, Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, on Friday. A tiger was recently seen on the Siner Russian border （边界），but there is no evidence to suggest this is the same tiger or that it had lost its way from Russia.

Wherever it may have come from, cross-border protection of endangered species is a problem. According to Ma Jianzhang, a senior wild animal researcher in China, tigers know no borders, which have been built to stop humans from illegally crossing over. However, these borders also stop the free movement of tigers, thus preventing their breeding （繁殖） and exchange of genes.

The Sino-Russian border also comes in the way of protecting tigers in the region. Data show about 500 to 550 Siberian tigers, or over 90 percent of the species, live in the wild in Russia; 27 live in the wild in China, and 50 in the border region. Sometimes tigers lose their way across the border and that is hindering （妨碍）efforts to stop illegal hunting and protecting them.

Fortunately, both China and Russia have realized this problem and are working toward solving it. As early as 2010, the two countries established a cross-border protection network aimed at strengthening communication on protecting tigers in the northeast. The countries have also held anti-poaching （反偷猎）activities together. In 2019, two national parks from the two countries signed a three-year deal to share research data on tigers, greatly improving the living conditions of Siberian tigers in the wild.

However, much more needs to be done to protect the species. It is necessary to combine the tiger protection areas in the two countries. That will require greater efforts from both sides and some difficulties might remain even then. Fortunately, both countries have been taking effective measures to provide the endangered species a better home.

32. What's the original purpose of setting up the Sino-Russian borders?

A. To ban people from illegal crossings.

B. To help protect tigers in the region.

C. To protect tigers from losing their way.

D. To stop tigers' breeding and exchange of genes.

33. What does the underlined phrase “comes in the way of” probably mean?

A. keeps from. B. is on the way to C. is aimed at D. keeps up 34. What is the focus of Paragraph 4 ?

A. Recent studies and researches on tigers.

B. Joint efforts by China and Russia to protect tigers.

C. The possible effects of establishing a network.

D. Reasons for improving the living conditions of tigers.

35. What's the author's purpose in writing the text?

A. To inform the possible dangers of tiger protection.

B. To cover the news about a missing tiger on the border.

C. To put forward suggestions on finding the missing tiger.

D. To report the problems and measures of cross-border tiger protection.

On the day of the trip, my mom prepared everything for me and gave me a hour's lesson on being careful and stay away from strangers. She asked me to phone her at every station which I went through.
