When the first mdern Olympics kicked ff in Athens in 1896, it wasn't clear whether they’ d last. Hwever, it cntinued in 1900 and 1904, but nt as a main attractin. Sme f the Olympic events might seem a bit unusual t tday's sprts fans.
Charit(战车) Racing
Starting arund 684 B. C., drivers raced each ther in hrse-drawn charits at the Olympics, smetimes crashing int ne anther. Only men culd jin in Olympic events as athletes, but wealthy wmen culd shw their supprt fr charits as spnsrs. Because it was a charit's funder wh received the victry title, nt the racer himself, this was the nly way wmen culd“win” at the Olympics.
Ht Air Balln Racing
With the expanded time, the 1900 Olympics featured many mre athletes and events than the 1896 Olympics, including varius ht air balln cmpetitins. Ht air balln drivers cmpeted in terms f distance traveled, altitude reached and best phtgraph taken frm a balln. Hwever, ht air balln racing made its appearance fr the first time and als the last time in 1900.
Live Pigen(鸽子) Shting
Anther event that appeared first at the 1900 Olympics was live pigen shting. In this cmpetitin, rganizers set free pigens int the air in frnt f a cmpetitr, wh then sht as many as pssible. The winner was a Belgian man named Lcn de Lun, wh sht 21 pigens. Altgether, the cmpetitrs killed arund 300 pigens. Luckily, live pigen shting nly appeared at the Olympics nce.
Painting
Starting with the 1912 Olympics in Stckhlm and cntinuing until the 1948 games in Lndn, the Olympics held art cmpetitins in painting as well as sculpture, music, architecture and literature. The art cmpetitins were called ff because s many cmpetitrs were prfessinal artists, and the Olympics were suppsed t make the amateurs ( peple wh didn't get paid fr their athletic r artistic talent) shine.

In the middle f San Francisc's Glden Gate Park, Amanda Barrws carefully placed a wden nightstand(床头柜) n the grund. She attached a sign reading, “Take a pem, leave a pem.”
S far, mre than 100 pems have cme in. “It's cmpletely unexpected,” said Barrws. “I'm really impressed by the utpuring f supprt.”
A park ranger(护林人) by day and a pet by night, Barrws jined a Petry fr the Peple class at City Cllege f San Francisc(CCSF). Students were asked t find a way t “bring petry int the cmmunity” as their final prject.
In the beginning, Barrws struggled t land n an idea. Eventually, thugh, it dawned n her that she culd perhaps cmbine tgether her tw wrlds— parks and petry. A clleague ffered up a weathered nightstand, which Barrws thught wuld be the perfect tl fr her prject, as she culd fill the drawer at the tp with fresh paper and pens and add a bx at the bttm fr pems.
The cncept reminded her f Little Free Libraries, which featured bkstands statined acrss the city. “I was inspired by the little free libraries yu see in San Francisc(SF), where yu‘take a bk, leave a bk’, and thught, ‘Maybe I culd d this with petry.’” said Barrws. Since she nly had a single nightstand t wrk with, Barrws decided that she wuld leave it in a park fr fur days befre mving it t a new lcatin. San Francisc's Recreatin and Park Department manages abut 220 parks, and Barrws's gal is t bring the petry nightstand t all f them.
Since the Petry Nightstand prject started, peple have dnated a wide range f writing. Barrws has shared mst f the submissins n scial media. “It really is a cmmunity prject,” Barrws said. “It belngs t all f us.”
One f the teachers at the CCSF petry curse, Lauren Muller, tld The Washingtn Pst that“peple need petry nw”, which she suggested as the reasn fr the success f Barrws's prject.
24. Why did Barrws start the Petry Nightstand prject?
A. T share her wn pems. B. T advertise a petry class.
C. T encurage yung pets. D. T cmplete a required task.
25. Hw did Barrws's prject differ frm Little Free Libraries?
A. It wasn't well-received by the public. B. It wasn't fixed n a specific site.
C. It cvered a larger area in the city. D. It was nly pen t citizens f SF.
26. What did Muller think cntributed t the success f Barrws's prject?
A. The benefits f writing petry. B. The public demand fr petry.
C. The help frm her neighbrs. D. The large number f parks in SF.

The wrks days, nights, and weekends in the tulip(郁金香) fields in the Netherlands and never cmplains abut tired muscles. Hw is this pssible? The, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech rbt in the battle t rt ut disease frm the fields.
The rbt rlls alng rws f yellw and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs(鳞茎) t prevent the spread f the tulip-breaking virus. The virus weakens the bulbs, leaving them unable t flwer. The dead bulbs are remved frm healthy nes in a srting center after they have been harvested. There are 45 rbts like The wrking in the tulip fields f the Netherlands. Their jb becmes imprtant as the winter turns t spring and peak seasn nears, when peple cme frm arund the wrld t admire the clrful flwers.
In the past, this wrk was carried ut by knwledgeable farmers. Allan Visser is a third- generatin tulip farmer wh is using the rbt. “Yu culd buy a very nice sprts car fr the price f the rbt,” Visser said. The rbt csts 185,000 eurs. “It's a lt slwer than a sprts car, rlling n caterpillar tracks thrugh fields,” he added. “But I chse the rbt because a sprts car desn't see the sick tulips. Nw there are fewer and fewer peple wh can really d that.”
The rbts have been trained t detect sick plants. They have cameras and take thusands f phts f the tulips. Their AI mdel examines the phts, hunting ut signs n sick plants, and decides which nes need t be killed. The engineer explains the rbts use GPS t be sure they are destrying the crrect tulips. The heart f the machine is the knwledge put int the AI mdel, which cmes frm experienced tulip farmers like The van der Vrt, wh gave his name t the rbt.
Van der Vrt retired after 52 years f lking fr sick flwers in his fields. “It's fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much as I see.”
28. What des the rbt The d?
A. Plant new tulips. B. Clear unhealthy bulbs.
C. Kill deadly virus. D. Harvest grwn flwers.
29. What can we infer frm Visser's wrds?
A. He dreams f a sprts car. B. Tulip fields are lw in prductin.
C. The rbt is wrth the cst. D. Farmers lack technical knwledge.
30. What is the key t making the rbts wrk effectively?
A. GPS systems. B. High-tech cameras.
C. Daily training. D. Farmers' knwledge.
31. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. The's Watch: An Advance in Tulip Farming
B. AI Rbts: A Replacement fr Aging Farmers
C. Tulip Seasns: An Attractin f the Netherlands
D. Visser's Practice: A Traditin in Tulip Businesses

Tday's jurnalists face mdern challenges. Online media platfrms are springing up. And the lwly newspaper and its reprters are fighting mney, tech, and distrust issues. Jurnalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills t keep their prfessin alive.
A trustwrthy press helps infrm peple and mnitr all levels f gvernment. That is essential t a natin. Yet this useful establishment is grwing increasingly unppular. Accrding t the University f Nrth Carlina(UNC), newsrm jbs acrss the cuntry are fewer than half what they were 10 years ag. And n many cllege campuses, the news abut the news is bleak t.
Take the Syracuse, New Yrk, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn't daily anymre. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamndback f the University f Maryland will be nline nly. Half the newspapers that still exist n paper say they dn't print as many cpies. And UNC's The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper ffices t make its budget.
Cnsidering the prblems in jurnalism, it's surprising that the enrllment(注册人数) in cllege jurnalism prgrams is up. The Daily Orange managing editr Catherine Leffert calls the layffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting t be a jurnalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” she says.
But jurnalism educatrs wnder, “Are we preparing yung peple fr a dying industry?” Years ag, jurnalism graduates tk lw-level reprter jbs at newspapers r televisin statins. That still happens. But tday's jbs mre ften invlve digital editing, scial media prductin, and vide streaming. Sme universities are taking actin. The University f Flrida ffers a sprts media prgram. Several schls highlight statistics- driven data jurnalism.
The news isn't all bad. Jurnalism prfessr Kathleen Culver says, “When I lk at 18- and 20-year-lds in jurnalism and see what they want t d, I'm ptimistic.” Maddy Arrwd is the student editr f The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her mre interested in a jurnalism career, nt less. Her ptimism“cmes frm knwing that peple still need news. They still need infrmatin.”
32. What mainly cntributes t the challenges fr tday's jurnalists?
A. Mre printed newspapers are in great need.
B. The newsrm jbs are decreasing wrldwide.
C. Online newspapers take the place f printed nes.
D. Online media platfrms are develping quickly.
33. What des the underlined wrd“bleak” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Depressing. B. Interesting. C. Uscless. D. Encuraging.
34. Hw d sme universities respnd t tday's jurnalism?
A. They reduce student enrllment.
B. They ffer students specialized prgrams.
C. They prepare students fr lw-level reprter jbs.
D. They encurage students t run their wn newspaper.
35. Why is Maddy Arrwd mentined in the last paragraph?
A. T shw peple's psitive attitudes t jurnalists.
B. T prve the ptential f a career in jurnalism.
C. T shw the ppularity f The Daily Tar Heel.
D. T prve peple's thirst fr the latest news.
