They said it culdn’t be dne. They said he was crazy. They said he wuld never make it.
But Duane Hansen and his beautiful pumpkin, which he named Berta, prved them all wrng. Like Cinderella’s fairy gdmther, this Nebraska man prved that yu really can turn a pumpkin int a functinal vehicle — in this case, a seawrthy vessel(船).
Yes, yu read that right. Hansen wanted t celebrate his 60th birthday by hllwing ut his prized 846-pund pumpkin and sailing dwn the Missuri River inside it. Nt nly did Hansen enjy a pumpkin sail n his special day, but his 38-mile jurney als landed him a wrld recrd! In case yu wndered, the previus wrld recrd fr the lngest sail in a pumpkin was 25 miles, set by a Nrth Dakta man in 2018.
It wasn’t an easy jurney. Grwing a pumpkin big enugh t use as a bat is already a challenge. Then, there was his chsen waterway. The city f Bellevue, Nebraska, psted a phtgragh f Hansen n the water that ffers a reminder f just hw big the Missuri River is.
“He has always said that yu can d anything yu want and I’m just s prud” Hansen’s daughter Mrgan Buchhlz said.
Hansen reprtedly spent nearly a decade trying t grw a pumpkin big enugh t wrk as a sailing vessel. He was inspired t begin his missin after meeting a wman wh had previusly wn “the Biggest Pumpkin Cmpetitin”. He asked her many questins abut her experience.
As fr his pumpkin-sailing future, “I’m dne with this.” Hansen said that the vyage made his knees ache. The wake (尾流) frm bats was rugh, and when they passed, he said he had t stp everything and just hang n. “If smebdy breaks this recrd, I will, like, bw dwn t them because they are tugh,” he said.
4. Why did Hansen g n a pumpkin jurney?
A. T bserve his birthday.B. T shw his prized pumpkin.
C. T break a wrld recrd.D. T prve pumpkin culd be a vessel.
5. What did Hansen d t make his jurney pssible?
A. He chse a calm waterway.
B. He talked with the previus recrd hlder.
C. He cnvinced his family t supprt his plan.
D. He wrked a lng time t grw the pumpkin.
6. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. His knees gt seriusly injured in the sailing.
B. His vessel tured ver in the wake frm bats.
C. Hansen will respect whever breaks his recrd.
D. Hansen will cntinue the pumpkin-sailing in future.
7. What des Hansen’s stry tell us?

T study the behavir f mysterius animals, scientists rutinely fix them with GPS lcatin trackers. But such devices’ battery capacity limits hw lng they perate, ften bringing an early end t vital cnservatin wrk.
Slar-pwered trackers break easily, making them a pr chice fr devices tied t larger mammals—and they dn’t wrk fr ncturnal (夜行的) creatures. S bilgist Rasmus Wrse Havmller f the University f Cpenhagen and his clleagues turned t anther abundant pwer surce: kinetic energy (动能) generated by an animal’s mvements.
Their kinetic tracker, which Havmller’s team recently tested n dmestic dgs, a wild small hrse and a Eurpean bisn, culd theretically survive fr the entire life span f an active animal. It is als lighter and cheaper t make than its battery-pwered cunterparts.
“The design is clever and exciting,” says Mark Hebblewhite, a habitat eclgist at the University f Mntana, wh was nt invlved with the new wrk. The prf-f-cncept kinetic tracker wrks by means f a magnetic pendulum (磁摆) that swings arund a cpper cil, generating electricity as the tagged animal mves. The dgs and bisn in the study were active enugh t create the energy t transmit ne lcatin per day fr 14 days and 17 days, respectively. One f the wild hrse’s trackers lasted at least 146 days but didn’t generate adequate pwer fr daily transmissins, the researchers reprted in PLS ONE.
“The limited pwer generated by the animals’ mvements means the technlgy isn’t ready fr prime time just yet,” says eclgist Emily Studd f British Clumbia’s Thmpsn Rivers University, wh wasn’t invlved in the study. When the researchers want t mnitr animals clsely, they ften need GPS fixes mre than nce a day. But Studd says that “with a bit mre develpment, this culd be a game changer fr wildlife animal research and mnitring”.
Havmller and his clleagues hpe cnservatin wrkers can ne day use this technlgy t track species such as tigers, lepards and wlves, which can easily destry slar-pwered trackers and which hunt and travel at night.
8. What is the main prblem with current GPS lcatin trackers used in cnservatin wrk?
A. Their batteries are harmful t animals.B. Their battery life is limited.
C. They send weak signals.D. They break easily.
9. What is the main limitatin f the kinetic tracker technlgy?
A. It is expensive t make.
B. It isn’t suitable fr larger mammals.
C. It desn’t wrk fr ncturnal creatures.
D. It can’t prduce enugh pwer fr daily transmissins.
10. What des Emily Studd think f the kinetic tracker technlgy?
A. It needs imprvement.B. It can be widely used nw.
C. It has reached its prime time.D. It isn’t gd fr mnitring wildlife.
11. What’s the best title fr the text?
A. The Imprtance f Wildlife Trackers
B. The Meaning f Mnitring Different Wild Animals
C. Tugh New Wildlife Tracker Runs n Animal Pwer
D. Cnservatin Wrkers Use New Methds t Prtect Animals

When yu hear the wrd “uncertainty”, hw d yu feel? Scared, anxius, excited r challenged? With many glbal challenges still nging, we are likely t face even mre f the unknwn, s we had better get accustmed t managing it.
S hw d we detect uncertainty and which part f the brain is respnsible fr it? Researchers have fund that nradrenaline (去甲肾上腺素) is the key chemical invlved in ur respnse t uncertainty.
T investigate the rle nradrenaline plays when we are faced with uncertain events, scientists at Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy cnducted an experiment with mice. The animals were trained t push a lever (杠杆) dwn when they heard a high frequency nise. If they did this, they were rewarded with a drink f water. They were als trained t learn that they’d receive an unpleasant puff f air if the lever was activated when a lw frequency nise was played. But the researchers added in an element f uncertainty by including a sund where the frequency was unclear.
Frm this experiment, the researchers discvered that a small part in the brain called the lcus ceruleus — an area that mdulates nradrenaline — was essential in detecting uncertainty. When the high frequency was clear and the reward was expected fr the mice, their nradrenaline release was small. But when the utcme wasn’t clear, and the reward was a surprise, the release was much larger. This was hw the mice’s brains learned t deal with uncertainty.
A study with humans was als carried ut. They discvered that the subjects’ neurns (神经元) in the prefrntal crtex (前额叶皮质) respnd much mre t lss than t gain. Namely, this area rules ur avidance behaviur when we are under stress. This helps us understand ur unwillingness t expse urselves t uncertainty.
Once we understand that ur cgnitive and emtinal respnses t uncertainty are a necessary part f the human experience. Acknwledge instead f fear them, perhaps making big decisins can seem less stressful.
12. What is the uncertainty in the experiment with mice?
A. The high frequency nise.B. A drink f water as a reward.
C. The actin t push a lever dwn.D. The nise with unclear frequency.
13. What des the underlined wrd “mdulates” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Remves.B. Adjusts.C. Lessens.D. Bsts.
14. Hw des the prefrntal crtex influence ur chices when we’re stressed?
A. By seeking rewarding utcme.B. By maintaining balance.
C. By aviding negative utcme.D. By reducing uncertainty.
15. What des the authr want t tell us in the text?
A. Respnses t uncertainty cme naturally.
B. Uncertainty gives birth t ptential risks.
C. Experiments can predict expected utcmes.
D. Nradrenaline tends t result frm uncertainty.

My heart punded as I stared at the screen. I re-read the message frm my friend, Nelle. Smene had upset her by sharing her persnal news, a recent develpment Nelle had shared with nly a few clse friends, including me. She didn’t knw wh let the wrd ut, but she was hurt and disappinted.
I felt s guilty. I knew hw the news had gt ut because I had been the ne t tell smene else. Hnestly, I hadn’t realized she meant t keep it s clse t hme, but at the same time I’d knwn it wasn’t a gd idea when I started t tell it t smene else.
Did she really nt knw it was me? It wuld have been easy t cme clean and aplgize if her nte was an accusatin. But it read as thugh it had been cpied and pasted t several peple. S I chse the cward’s way ut.
“I’m s srry that happened t yu,” I typed. “Hw awful that yur cnfidence was brken.”
I hped that wuld d. Her reply came back within secnds: “Thank yu.”
Surely, that wuld be gd enugh. I didn’t take respnsibility fr my actins, but I’d sympathized with her pain. It wuld be kay fr me t remain annymus (不公开姓名的) as lng as I was srry, wuldn’t it?
But, deep dwn, I knew I’d been the ne t break faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, nt nly f my riginal actin, but because I’d put wrng upn wrng by cvering it up.
I felt miserable at church n Sunday. I tried t avid cmmunicatin. Watching thers take part while I sat in silence was a painful experience-ne I never wanted t repeat.
Later, the speaker in the church challenged us t examine urselves and see if anything std in the way t being the best f urselves, and if s, we shuld nt t let it stp us and we needed t clear it away.
