David Rush of Idaho set out to break one Guinness World Record every week of 2022. The challenge was no small achievement, and at the same time, nothing out of the ordinary for Rush, who is a writer, speaker and entertainer. He describes himself on his website as “one of the most productive Guinness World Records title holders on the planet.”
Rush has been promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) for
more than a decade through talks with students, educators and corporations. “STEM is hard and
when a student struggles with science or fails at math they may say they can never be an engineer,” he wrote.
“In 2015 I broke my first Guinness World Record to create a vivid example for folks to show
that if you set your mind to a goal, believe in yourself, and pursue it with a passion, you can accomplish nearly anything. Going on to break an average of one record a week is an extension of that to encourage kids to pursue hard subjects and anyone to pursue anything that’s hard,” he said.
Rush started the year off on Jan. 4 by piling up wet bars of soap with his neighbor. From there,
his missions included bouncing ping pong balls, catching fruit in his mouth and doing various tasks very quickly. He crossed the 200-Guinness-World-Records-broken milestone for the most kiwis sliced in one minute using a sword while standing on a ball.
Holding one Guinness World Record is impressive enough, but David Rush of Idaho set a new
record each week for the year of 2022—52 weeks, 52 records. Could that be a record number of records? Anyway, his message is engaging and inspiring.
4. What can we learn about Rush from paragraph 1 and 2?
A. He is extremely productive in publishing books.
B. He has broken the most Guinness World Records.
C. He considers STEM to be a vital part in education.
D. He considers himself to be nothing but ordinary.

A. To show that anyone can be a record-breaker.
B. To encourage students to become engineers.
C. To overcome the hardship in learning STEM.
D. To inspire those struggling in pursuit of goals.
6. Which of the following best describes Rush?

C. Determined and creative. D. Ambitious and humorous.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards Rush’s record-breaking challenge?
A. Approving. B. Unclear. C. Skeptical. D. Objective.

Students at the University of Manchester have voted to swap loud clapping for “jazz hands” at certain school events. They decided to hold applause and cheering at their gatherings, and replace it with the British Sign Language substitute: a wave of both hands.
The Students’ Union said the wave, also referred to as “jazz hands”, will provide opportunities
for deaf people to have easy access to the school events and feel included. They also said they are
not completely banning audible clapping at all school events, and are instead encouraging “the use of British Sign Language clapping during our important events.” These events include meetings where members are invited to participate in decision making. The student union will also encourage student groups to do the same as part of inclusion training.
According to Tanya, a professor of disability studies in the department of social justice,
acknowledging accessibility issues on campus is important for colleges to do. “Many schools have a long way to go when it comes to accommodating students,” she said. “There’s so little that’s done on university campuses to recognize the diversity of the student body in terms of disability. So little is done collectively, and almost everything is always done by disabled individuals who go and seek their private accommodations.”
“Accommodations have to continue to be taken into consideration for whoever happens to be
present,” Tanya said. “But it’s fantastic to see that students are bringing the possibility of imagining a diverse student body for students through ‘jazz hands’. ” Tanya added, “There are actually lots of different conditions people could have, like autism, or anxiety, for which the use of “jazz hands” would be really beneficial. While this population may be small, addressing the varying needs of students is a move in the right direction.”
8. What does “jazz hands” feature?
A. Loud clapping. B. Gentle applause. C. Silent movement. D. Jazz singing.
9. Why is “jazz hands” introduced?
A. To ban loud clapping in events. B. To have easier access to libraries.
C. To replace the sign language. D. To better involve disabled students.

The CO2-filled air in busy classrooms at a university was recently put to good use—as fertilizer for a rooftop garden, as part of a scientific study. Researchers repurposed the CO2 from a campus building’s exhaust (废气) to help grow plants in an experimental rooftop garden and found spinach (菠菜), in some cases, was four times as large as the one in a nearby control group.
“We wanted to test whether there is an undeveloped resource inside buildings that could be
used to make plants grow larger in rooftop gardens,” Sarabeth Buckley, now at the University of Cambridge and the study’s lead author, says in a news release. “Creating more favorable conditions that increase growth could help make rooftop gardens more successful and therefore more practical options for installation on buildings.”
The study showed how the team grew spinach in areas receiving fanned CO2 exhaust. A
control group also on the roof was fanned, but without CO2. The researchers said they selected spinach because it is relatively common and eatable. The spinach grown next to one of the two exhaust pipes on the roof had four times the size of spinach grown next to a control fan. Even when high winds decreased the size advantage by limiting the amount of CO2 reaching the spinach, it was still twice as large as the control group.
“There are still many aspects of this system that must be determined before it can be
implemented, such as the most suitable air application design and the possible extent of the enhanced growth effect,” Buckley says. “Also, there is a decrease in growth with increased wind speed, so the best wind speed would need to be found and incorporated into the system design.”
The study calls the experiment a sustainable system for using CO2 fertilization in urban
environments while saying that the goal of “increasing overall urban vegetation” can help address some environmental challenges that come with pollution and farming. Buckley hopes her study can lead to a further development of the system and the eventual implementation into rooftop gardens.
12. What is the purpose of Buckley’s study?
A. To make agricultural production more successful.
B. To help colleges grow spinach on campus buildings.
C. To help schools reduce CO2 emission and pollution.
D. To examine a possible fertilizer for rooftop gardening.
13. How did researchers conduct the experiment?
A. By continuously recording rooftop wind speed.
B. By cooling down the rooftop garden with a fan.
C. By controlling the exposure of the plants to CO2.
D. By using different vegetables for the control group.

B. The study is imperfect but promising.
C. Urban vegetation comes with pollution.
D. Wind has a negative effect on the system.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

Food waste may result from lifelong habits. 16 Follow these tips to reduce unnecessary
food waste in your household and save money along the way.
Plan your meals. When you don’t know clearly what you want to eat, it’s easy to pick up more
than you need, especially when items are on offer. Plan your meals for the week in advance to avoid
unnecessary food waste. 17 .
Store your products correctly. A lot of fruit and vegetables spoil before you eat them.
18 For example, potatoes, carrots and other root vegetables last longest if kept in the dark.
Fresh fruit and vegetables, like grapes or onions shouldn’t be kept with ethylene-producing
products as they make other fresh produce ripen and rot (腐烂) more quickly. You can also find many ways to keep your perishables fresh by using water.
Get creative with leftovers. For those times when planning fails you and you end up
with leftover meals in your fridge, instead of throwing them out, think about inventive ways to
transform them. 19 Think twice before you toss items like meat bones, which form the
perfect basis for stock or a soup throughout the winter.
20 Do you always buy the same things every time you are in the supermarket, yet
every week you have things you throw away? Note down the products in the bin time and time again, so that you can avoid buying them (or so much of them) in the future.
A. Track your trash.
B. Sort out the rubbish.
C. Many unknown tips can keep produce fresh.
D. Try to stretch your grocery budget a little bit further.
E. Luckily, it’s easy to learn how to change these habits around.
F. Italians, for example, fry leftover rice and it becomes Arancini.
G. Work out what you plan to eat and how much of each item you’ll need.
