Pushpa hates tears but when she tells f incidents frm her childhd, which she spent battling pverty, she can’t help feeling verwhelmed. “We used t be able t affrd nly ne meal every day,” she says. But as challenging as thse early years were, they wuld lead t her remarkable life as a scribe(抄写员) fr peple with special needs.
Pushpa remembers enjying a blessedly nrmal childhd, peppered with “tys, dinners ut and mvies at the theatre”, until arund grade 4. But life as she knew it disappeared when an accident left her father disabled.
“My mther, wh wasn’t well-educated, had t wrk fr ₹500 per mnth.” But what hit her hardest was her struggle t cntinue her educatin. The memry f her grade 7 teacher refusing t allw her t attend classes ver unpaid schl fees still hurts.
One day in 2007, while travelling with tw visually impaired(有缺陷的) cllege students by bus, she heard them talk abut hw difficult it was fr them t cntinue their educatin. “I remembered my wn struggle t finish my studies s I seized the pprtunity t help them.”
“I was a little nervus at first because I had passed my grade 10 examinatin nly with a third class,” she smiles. “Since then, I’ve written exams fr students wh have lw IQ, r are blind r visually impaired, r have met with an accident.”
It is, by n means, an easy task. “I read ut the questins slwly and, smetimes, several times, and wait fr the student t tell me the answer. I have seen scribes getting irritated(愤怒的) at students and that shuld nt happen.” she explains.
Over the last 16 years, the yung girl wh nce survived n handuts has cme a lng way. Cnnecting with examinees by wrd f muth, till date, Pushpa has written 1,086 exams fr special-needs test-takers and wn the Nari Shakti Puraskar in 2018 fr her effrts. “Yu shuld be prepared t help the student fr thse few hurs, withut expecting anything in return.” Pushpa adds.

Researchers believe they have accurately estimated Antarctica’s Weddell seal ppulatin fr the first time—using images frm space and the eyes f citizen scientists.
Previus estimates f their ppulatin were “mre back-f-the-envelpe type calculatins”, said Dr. Michelle LaRue, a prfessr f New Zealand’s University f Canterbury. “The previus research was dne by traditinal surveyrs, but yu can’t physically get t the entire Antarctic cntinent all at ne time,” she said.
The results were “inaccurate”, s in 2016 LaRue created the first estimate f the seals’ baseline ppulatin, using satellite imagery and the keen eyes f 330,000 curius vlunteers. “We cmbined the imagery with a web platfrm t cnduct a citizen science campaign t find ut where seals are present, their abundance, and the envirnmental factrs that influence their habitat preferences,” LaRue said.
They discvered that, at the time the satellite images were taken in 2021, the glbal ppulatin was actually just 40% f the 800,000 animals previusly estimated. The study, published in late 2021, estimated that there were abut 202,000 sub-adult and adult female Weddell seals in Antarctica. Male seals were generally nt captured in the satellite images because they were typically under the ice, guarding their territries, LaRue added.
The study als fund that Weddell seals lived n abut 1% f the ice and were picky abut where they settled. The prject relied heavily n vlunteers t search the satellite images fr signs f seals. Participants were given images f an area in Antarctica t scur and asked t tick a bx saying if they believed they culd see a seal r nt. The mre peple t click yes, the mre efficient the narrwing dwn f habitats became.
“The methd is nw being emplyed by ther scientists t help determine the ppulatin f walrus(海象) in the Arctic,” LaRue said, “Lking at brader ecsystems and the relatinships between animals and their envirnment was imprtant in the lng run, but t d that, it was helpful t have ppulatin guides fr single species.” Once scientists have that infrmatin, they “can start adding it all tgether and putting tgether the puzzle a little bit better”.
8. What is Paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. Limitatin f previus studies. B. Significance f previus estimates.
C. Inspiratin fr LaRue’s research.D. Difficulty in explring the Antarctica.
9. What des the underlined wrd “scur” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Recrd. B. Appreciate. C. Examine. D. Pst.
10. Walrus are mentined in Paragraph 6 t present _________________.
A. a suggestin fr fllw-up studies. B. supprting evidence fr the research results.
C. an applicatin f the research methd.D. further explanatins f the research methds.
11. What is the purpse f the text?
A. T call fr mre research n cunting seals.B. T intrduce a breakthrugh in seal research.
C. T appeal t peple t prtect Weddell seals.D. T discuss the invlvement f citizen scientists.

The schl hallway between classes may seem disrdered. But there’s likely mre rder in the crwd than yu think. In a heavy crwd with peple ging in ppsite directins, there’s ften a pattern. Peple tend t srt themselves int lanes(队伍) that run parallel t each ther. If a space is wide enugh, tw grups f peple passing each ther head-n will frm multiple lanes. Each lane will be abut the width f tw peple. If tw grups crss paths at right angles, they still frm lanes. But these lanes behave differently. Each persn stays in their lane, but the lane shifts t the side as the grups crss. Attempts t direct the crwd may nt help, and it will mess up this natural flw. This slws everybdy dwn.
Tim Rgers and Karl Bacik reprted these results in a jurnal. They began wrking n crwds during the pandemic. They were wrking t design spaces where peple culd stay scially distanced t prevent viral spread. Decades ag, Dirk Helbing, a physicist in Switzerland, created a mathematical mdel that describes the directin a walker plans t g. Rgers and Bacik added factrs related t crwd patterns t Helbing’s sftware. The resulting mdel describes lane frmatin as a result f tw prcesses.
The first prcess is drift. As sn as a line f peple starts t frm headed ne way, thers ging the same way are drawn t it. This encurages lane frmatin. The secnd ne is diffusin(扩散) which causes peple t spread ut frm a crwded space. In a crwd, the end result is lanes abut tw peple wide—just big enugh t resist diffusin.
The mdel’s predictins std the test f a real crwd. The researchers filmed a grup f 70 peple walking thrugh an pen space. Peple cnsistently rdered themselves int lanes as expected, while past wrk has shwn that crash and ther prblems are mre cmmn where mre rutes intersect(交叉) . Public spaces can be designed t help prevent such disasters. The takeaway: When peple are traveling tw ways, trust the wisdm f crwds. When there’s a three-way r fur-way intersectin, watch ut.
12. What is Paragraph 1 mainly abut?
A. The benefits f attempting t direct the crwd.
B. The different behaviur habits f human beings.
C. The autmatic frmatin f a pattern in a crwd.
D. The pssible cause f mess in the schl hallway.
13. What d we knw abut Rgers and Bacik’s research?
A. It lacks a clear cnclusin.B. It is aimed at detecting viruses.
C. It is cmpleted by bservatin.D. It is based n previus research.
14. What can we learn frm the tw prcesses?
A. Diffusin causes increase f crwd density.
B. Lanes may nt be erased when wide enugh.
C. Fllwing thers ccurs in ppsite directins.
D. Mving n the right cntributes t lane frmatin.
15. What can be inferred frm the passage?
A. The mdel’s predictins failed t be prven by the real situatin.
B. The natural flw f crwds can speed up if directed intentinally.
C. The width f lanes in a crwded space is determined by diffusin.
D. Public spaces with multiple intersecting rutes are mre dangerus.

If yu’ve ever been in a cheerful md, then met up with a bad-tempered friend, yu’ll knw hw infectius emtins can be. Befre yu knw it, yu realize that yu’re feeling dwn t. 16 . When yu’ve been sad, perhaps yur friend’s liveliness has helped t lighten yur md.
Yu might wnder wh wins ut—if yu’re feeling happy and yur friend is feeling sad, d yu yield t their sadness r d they catch yur happiness? Part f the answer is likely depending n their and yur levels f expressiveness and receptiveness. 17 . If yu smile a lt when yu’re happy, yu’re mre likely t infect yur friend. Likewise, if yur friend is impressinable and mre prne(有做...倾向的) t cpying facial expressins, then they’ll be mre likely t catch yur smiles and start feeling happier.
18 . Fr instance, there’s evidence that fear has a smell, and that smelling the sweat f an anxius persn can initiate activity in parts f the brain invlved in empathy(共情) and prcessing emtins. In fact, there desn’t need t be any physical cntact at all. Researchers have shwn that emtins can spread thrugh scial media. 19 .
If and when yu encunter an ppsite emtin t yur wn, the experience will likely vary depending n hw invested yu are in that ther persn r peple. 20 . And if yu’re feeling sad and a bunch f strangers surrunding yu were laughing their heads ff, yu’re likely t find it really annying.
A. Happily, it can wrk the ther way arund t.

Chasing a Dream
I will never frget that Nvember day. It was htter than nrmal—t ht. My thrat felt like a field f cttn, cracked with the summer heat, as I waited fr the gun t fire. This was the day we had waited s lng fr. I lked ut at the crwd; dzens f familiar faces flashed acrss my view. They had cme fr me. They were cunting n me. I saw my dad set his watch, with wrry and excitement n his face. Adrenaline(肾上腺素) pumped thrugh my bdy, and the race began.
Fr the first tw and a half miles, I felt great. I had never befre been s ready fr smething. The weeks leading up t the race were filled with strictly cntrlled practices and a strict diet. My friends hadn’t seen me in weeks, but they understd the sacrifice required t make my dream a reality.
My dad and I had been wrking twards this race fr three years. It was everything t me, and it was everything t my dad. He was a runner and was excited by my success in running. He made it t every race, even flying hme early frm business trips t see me run. I always listened fr his vice — telling me t relax my arms, calling ut my time. He pushed me. He cheered fr me. He believed in me. We spent cuntless hurs n the sandy canals. Breathing in the dust f the desert, the blssms(花簇) f the range trees, we made ur way acrss the city. We punded miles and miles int ur running shes, marking with every step the path t greatness.
But withut warning, when I was 200 yards away frm the finish line, my legs stpped wrking. My lungs fught t take in enugh air, and my feet transfrmed int cement(水泥) bricks. I still dn’t knw what happened in thse last few mments. Nthing I culd d wuld make them hld my weight. They were as weak as jelly.
