The mtivatin fr his inventin came t Aarrav Anil last year when he saw his uncle Arjun, wh has Parkinsn’s disease, struggle t eat. Sme fd spilled（溢出） ut f his muth, the rest splattered（溅） n his clthes. Arjun attempted t keep his dignity but the frustratin frced him t give up and call his helper t feed him.
The sight f his uncle’s shaking the spn s vilently inspired Aarrav,17, frm Bengaluru, suth India, t turn t rbtics. He lcked himself in his rm with micrcntrllers, sensrs, mtrs, and a 3D printer. What emerged was a prttype（原型） f a smart spn that is nw underging trials at the RV Cllege f Physitherapy in Bengaluru.

“I’ve been fine tuning the design based n the cllege’s feedback — that it needs t be waterprf s that it can be washed withut damaging all the electrnics inside; that it must be remvable s it can be cleaned and replaced by a frk,” Aarrav says.
Fr Aarrav it is the peak f a 10 - year interest in mechanics that began when his mther bught him a Leg set. He has nw represented India at mre than 20 rbtics cmpetitins acrss the wrld.
When the blueprint fr the smart spn wn first prize in the future innvatrs categry at last year’s Wrld Rbt Olympiad in Germany, Aarrav felt encuraged t make the prttype.

Symptms（症状） include invluntary shaking and stiff muscles. As the disease prgresses, eating can becme mre difficult, frcing peple t rely n help frm thers.
Aarrav’s ambitin is that every family that has smene with Parkinsn’s will have the smart spn. He says his uncle Arjun’s wrds keep eching（回响） in his mind: “Wh wuld have thught such a small thing culd mean the difference between dignity and indignity?”

Parrts are prey animals, which means that ther predatrs（捕食者） in the wild, such as hawks r snakes, are lking t make them int a meal. This ne factr influences parrts’ behavir in yur huse mre than any ther.
Parrts are mst easily hurt when feeding n the grund; membership in a grup plays an imprtant functin in ensuring their safety and imprving their chances f survival frm attacks by predatrs. The mst cmmn predatrs f parrts include hawks, snakes, cats, mnkeys, and bats. Sme predatrs make attacks nly during the day while thers hunt in the night.
As prey animals, parrts are cnstantly watching ut fr danger and they instinctively（本能地） react t risks. Their first chice is t take flight. Hwever, if this is nt pssible, they will fight with their pwerful beaks t defend themselves.
Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrts are especially reactive t quick mvements frm abve and behind. Fr this reasn, it is wise t avid quick, sudden mvements near yur bird. This is a built-in reactin nt subject t lgic r reasn. Simple and relatively harmless husehld bjects can draw extreme fear respnses frm a bird. Fr example,a balln may represent a hawk r a vacuum hse（吸尘器软管） may be the same as a snake in yur bird’s mind.
As prey animals, parrts are ften frightened by expsure t new husehld items r strangers. It is imprtant t expse yur bird t safe experiences and changes starting at a very yung age t build flexibility and imprve their adaptability. Variety in diet and tys, travel, and expsure t new peple and places all help t make yur bird mre flexible and adaptable t change.
28. What is imprtant fr parrts t better survive frm attacks in the wild?
A. Living in a grup. B. Grwing beautiful feathers.
C. Feeding n the grund. D. Aviding cming ut at night.
29. What is parrts’ first respnse t an immediate risk?

C. T prtect the yung. D. T play dead.
30. Why wuld a balln frighten a parrt?
A. It may explde suddenly. B. It may be in a strange shape.
C. It may mve arund quickly. D. It may have a strng clr.
31. What is the authr’s purpse f writing the text?
A. T explain wild parrts’ behavir. B. T give advice n raising a parrt.
C. T call fr actin t prtect animals. D. T intrduce a study n bird eclgy.

Students at the Calhun Schl in New Yrk City have much mre than a rf ver their heads. They have a rftp garden, with lush grass, clrful flwers and fragrant herbs. “Green rfs” are spruting up all ver, frm schls t city skyscrapers. And rfs aren’t the nly things ging green. Architects are finding all srts f new ways t build buildings that are easier n the envirnment. These schls, hmes, and ffices are called “green buildings”.
Nrmally it takes a lt f energy t run appliances. T ften, that energy cmes frm burning fssil fuels. S green buildings are designed t d all these things with much less energy. An energy-smart building starts with thick walls. A layer f insulatin（隔热材料） traps air t stp heat frm passing thrugh. That keeps heat inside in the winter, and keeps heat utside in the summer. This saves energy fr heating and cling.
Heat pumps are anther pwer-saving way t stay cmfrtable. A grund heat pump mves heat thrugh pipes that run thrugh the grund next t the building. A few feet under the grund, the temperature stays arund 10℃ all year rund. Water flwing arund the pipes helps heat the building in winter and cl it in summer.
Anther way t build green is t use recycled materials. That saves the cst and pllutin f manufacturing smething new. In the Chicag Center fr Green Technlgy, the ceiling tiles（瓷砖） are made f pressed newspaper. The bathrm flrs are tiled with recycled glass, and the stall walls are recycled plastic. Builders have fund many creative ways t re-use ld materials.
As mre peple becme cncerned abut climate change, mre buildings are ging green. Green buildings prduce less f the gases that warm the planet. City planners like green buildings because they save mney. And they are healthier fr the peple wh wrk and live inside. But yu dn’t need t build a whle new building. Simple changes like shading windws and planting trees can make any hme greener — and a better Earth hme fr us all.
32. Hw are green buildings designed t keep warm in the winter?
A. By burning fssil fuels. B. By using thick walls with insulatrs.
C. By running heating devices. D. By equipping buildings with appliances.
33. Accrding t the text, the advantages f green buildings include the fllwing EXCEPT ______.
A. using less energy B. using recycled materials
C. saving water D. reducing greenhuse gas emissins
34. In which sectin f a magazine can we read the text?
A. Educatin. B. Culture. C. Ecnmy. D. Technlgy.
35. Which f the fllwing might be the best title fr the text?
A. Recycling: T Make a Better Earth fr Us All
B. Heat Pumps: A New Apprach t Saving Energy
C. Green Rfs: Mre Than a Rf ver Our Heads
D. Building Green: T Hug the Earth Mre Kindly

There’s a reasn why s many peple lve running early in the mrning. 36 Nt nly d yu begin yur day mre relaxed and refreshed, but yu’ve already started things ff with an accmplishment. If yu think yu’ re ready t take advantage f the benefits f a mrning run. Here are five suggestins frm the prfessinals.
● Find a friend, and be gentle with yurself.
Finding a partner t run with will give yu smene t be respnsible fr, and make it much harder t blw ff the run. It’s als imprtant t remember that this is a prcess, and yu can’t expect t d it perfectly frm the beginning. 37 “Once yu get int the habit, it becmes natural and actually jump starts yur day,” says Sheri Piers, tp American finisher at the 2012 Bstn Marathn.
● Embrace the mvement.
“The first few steps r blcks will be tugh in the mrning. They always are,” says Dr. Jrdan Metzl, wh has ver 32 marathn finishes under his belt. With a practice f mre than 20,000 patients, Metzl’s days are jam-packed, s early mrning runs are a must. 38 “Smetimes yu have t just d it, and remember that the mtivatin will cme later,” he says.
● Stay warm.
39 “If I g t bed in my sprts wear, all I need t d is thrw n the uter layers and head ut the dr. At least that takes away sme f the incnvenience,” says Tina Muir, a half-marathner. She als leaves her alarm n the ther side f the rm t help push herself up.
● 40
“I view waking up early like tearing ff a Band-Aid,” says Michele Gnzalez, a running cach. “It’s gnna hurt fr a bit.” Her advice is relatively simple. “Yu just have t set the alarm early and start ding it,” she says. “After a few days, yu’ll be tired earlier at night and will start ging t bed earlier. This makes the early alarm feel a bit mre manageable.”
A. It has majr benefits.
B. Have a training plan.
C. Make peace with the pain.
D. It’s just like warming up a car in the winter.
E. Even if yu have a setback r tw, keep at it.
F. Still, he knws hw hard it can be t get mtivated.
G. The wrst part is getting changed in the cld air, especially in winter.
