If a human can get a prosthetic limb(假肢), why not an animal? Easier said than done however, as while there is a tremendous amount of ongoing research for human prosthetics, there is hardly any for animals.

But this Jaipur-based veterinary surgeon did not want to wait around anymore. Dr Tapesh Mathur is credited with making the ‘Krishna Limb’, India’s first prosthetic limb for animals. Tapesh has been designing prosthetic limbs for animals since 2015 and to date, has helped 90 animals adapt to using a prosthetic. From design to production, Tapesh does all the work by himself at his home-workshop. He provides the artificial limbs for free.

Tapesh said, “I could not bear to see their (the cattle’s) pain . These animals could not voice their anxiety as humans can, but they feel the pain all the same. They waited helplessly for food or for someone to clean them. And I kept thinking if we can help humans walk again, why can’t something similar be done for these animals? Thus I began my research.”

Tapesh designed his first prosthetic limb for a two-year-old calf named Krishna, who learnt to walk using the limb.

Producing these prosthetic limbs wasn’t an easy task initially, and Tapesh required raw material, which was expensive. Polypropylene, which is used for manufacturing prosthetic limbs, is only supplied in quantity by suppliers, and Tapesh had to source it from Mumbai using his own savings.

Now, Tapesh designs various prosthetic limbs for different animals. “We generally work with cows, horses, and dogs, but have started receiving applications for other animals as well. Recently, we got a request for a limb for a pet parrot. We are still working on the design.”

There are certain steps involved in designing. First, Tapesh takes the necessary measurements, based on which the artificial limb is moulded. The real challenge comes when Tapesh has to visit animals living in remote areas as his patients often cannot be brought to him. Once the prosthetic limb is ready, Tapesh visits the animal and attaches it for free.

4. Why does the author ask a question at the beginning of the passage?

A. To ask for others’ favors.

B. To show the difficulty in making prosthetic limbs for animals.

C. To lay emphasis on the similarities between the two.

D. To arouse readers’ interest in the following topic.

5. What can we learn about Dr Tapesh Mathur from paragraph 2 ?

A. He has adopted about 90 animals.

B. He makes artificial limbs for animals out of curiosity.

C. He works with other doctors to produce prosthetic limbs.

D. He is the first Indian to make prosthetic limbs for animals.

6. How did Dr Tapesh Mathur get raw materials for prosthetic limbs?

A. By asking his friends for help. B. By buying them with his own money.

C. By borrowing them from companies. D. By turning to the government for help.

7. Which of the following can best describe Dr Tapesh Mathur ?

A. Selfish and quick-tempered. B. Confident and strong-willed.

C. Generous and kind-hearted. D. Honest and well-behaved.

C

During the 2022 Winter Olympics, at the hotels in the competition area located in Yanqing District, Beijing, a smart robot “Coffee Master” with skilled tea brewing techniques became an eye-catching feature among the attending athletes. Besides it, other robots have carried out their duties in many unnoticed corners, supporting the event.

Following the Olympics success, the outstanding performance of Chinese-made robots at the global sports gala have attracted customers across the world, representing the country’s innovation ability while boosting Chinese people’s pride.

Many industry insiders believe that the Beijing Winter Olympics is an “accelerator” for the development of the robotics industry.

“In recent years, China’s robotics industry has made many technological advances. However, before the Winter Olympics, many customers had a wait-and-see attitude toward robot products,” Yang Rui, a director from Gaussian Robotics told the Global Times, noting that with Olympics success, a large number of foreign customers have come to cooperate with the company.

According to a report by CCID Consulting, a research institute under the MIIT, in 2020, the market demand for service robots in China saw explosive growth due to the epidemic, with the market size reaching 28.38 billion yuan ($3.7 billion), up 37.4 percent year-on-year. With an aging population and rising labor costs, domestic service robots enjoy huge demand potential with the market size expected to reach 75.18 billion yuan by 2023.

Wang Peng, assistant professor at the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence at the Renmin University of China, noted that domestic robot sensors and computing chips are still relying on imports, leading to elevated cost of the highly sophisticated robots.

“China’s robotics industry has seen booming development, but still has a long way to go,” Wang said.

8. What does the underlined word “accelerator” mean in the third paragraph?

A. Promotor. B. Inventor. C. Hunter. D. Turning.

9. Why does the author mention figures in para 5?

A. To present a fact. B. To make a prediction.

C. To support Yang’s opinion. D. To prove the robots success.

10. What is a direct result of the success of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics?

A. China’s robotics industry is having a great boom.

B. Domestic robot sensors can be produced independently.

C. The market demand for service robots in China grows rapidly.

D. Foreign customers prefer to cooperate with domestic robot company.

11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. China’s robotics techniques become eye catching in the world.

B. Robots’ functions in hotels during Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics

C. Robots make no difference to the success of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

D. Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics contribute much to China’s robotics industry.

What’s the difference between shame and guilt?These are emotions that we often mix up, but it turns out they’re quite different. When people feel shame, they feel bad about themselves: “I’m a bad person for having done this.” When people feel guilt, they feel bad not about the self, but about a specific behavior: “I did a bad thing.” And it’s a subtle distinction, but it turns out that it leads to very different motivations.

When people feel shame about “Who I am because I did a bad thing, I’m a horrible person,” there’s a sense of shrinking and being small, a sense of worthlessness and powerlessness. And when people feel shame, they want to hide. They want to sink into the floor and disappear. They minimize. They often blame other people. But what they don’t do, typically, is try to make things better.

When people feel guilt about a specific behavior —“I feel bad that I did that” — they’re focused on the behavior and the effects on other people, and that seems to push people in a much more constructive direction. People who feel guilt about a behavior without feeling shame about themselves are more likely to apologize, in some way, try to repair the harm that was done.

I think that just knowing the difference between the two is not enough, if you can identify when you feel shame and sort of do some double-checking, you know, “Is it really fair for me to feel like a bad person because I lost my temper with my kids today? Does that mean I’m a horrible parent? Or am I generally a good parent, but this was a bad day, and I did a bad thing and let me address that, reconnect with my child and think about ways to avoid that going forward,” instead of falling into shame, shame, shame. I think shame is such a selfish emotion. It’s all about me. It’s not about the person that I hurt. It’s, “Me, me, me, me, I’m a horrible person,” which takes the focus off of the person you’ve harmed.

12. What are shame and guilt thought of?

A. They are easy to figure out. B. They lead to different behavior.

C. They are called bad emotions. D. They are seen confusing things.

13 What will people do when they feel shame?

A. They dare to face anything. B. They refuse to make things better.

C. They feel bad about specific behavior. D. They tend to blame themselves.

14. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about ?

A. Results of feeling guilt. B. Ways of feeling guilt.

C. Causes of feeling guilt. D. Reflections of feeling guilt.

15. What is the author’s attitude to shame?

A. Favorable. B. Tolerant. C. Against. D. Unclear.

Mrs. March has four daughters. They are Amy, Jo, Meg and Beth. Summer vacation came, and the girls wanted to relax and not do any housework.

“May we, Mother?” asked Meg, turning to Mrs. March, who sat nearby.

“You may try your experiment for a week and see how you like it. I think by Saturday night you will find that all play and no work is as bad as all work and no play.” said Mrs. March.

“Oh, dear, no! It will be wonderful, I’m sure,” said Meg eagerly.

The next morning, Meg did not appear till ten o'clock. The room seemed lonely and unclean as no one had done their duties that morning. Jo spent the morning on the river, and the afternoon reading. Beth spent the morning with her music, pleased that she had no dishes to wash. Amy sat down to draw flowers.

The second day, the third day... they repeated the same life.

Though Mrs. March did her daughters’ duties around the house, keeping home pleasant. It was astonishing what a strange and uncomfortable state the house was in with everyone “resting.” The days kept getting longer and longer, and the girls became upset more easily, quarreling quite a bit more often.

No one would admit that they were tired of the experiment, but by Friday night, they realized that they were glad the week was nearly over. Mrs. March then decided to finish off the experiment in an appropriate manner.

When they got up on Saturday morning, there was no fire in the kitchen, no breakfast in the dining room, and no mother anywhere to be seen.

“What has happened?” cried Jo in shock.

Meg ran upstairs and soon came back. “She says it’s been a hard week for her, so we mustn’t complain, but take care of ourselves.” said Meg.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；
