It started inncently enugh, as mst things d. My sn Nick had been eager t try rck climbing and he needed a partner. As a 45-year-ld mther, I am nt a physical persn at all. But I still decided t jin him in a training class. The first time I reached the tp and returned safely t the grund, I was flded with a mix f emtins. My bdy trembled with adrenaline (肾上腺素), as I had pushed myself harder than I ever thught pssible, but I had accmplished it.
Fur mnths int my climbing jurney, I had an accident while buldering (攀岩). I’m nt sure what exactly happened, but I believe, my ft missed a hld n the way dwn. I didn’t land prperly and injured my lwer back. I was taken t the hspital by ambulance. I feared that I wuld never return t rck climbing r buldering and said t Nick sadly, “A piece f me wuld slip away. It wuld be frgtten and lie passive frever. I culdn’t let that happen.”
It tk nearly three mnths befre I felt strng enugh t give it anther try. Nick was supprtive thrughut the prcess. I made it halfway up, but then panic set in. I felt like I had let myself and Nick dwn. He reassured me, telling me nt t wrry, t take my time, and t try a different rute when I was ready. Fifteen minutes later, I chse a different path. I kept reminding myself that I culd change my mind at any time. Alng the way Nick guided and encuraged me. T my surprise, I made it t the tp and back t the grund safely.
Rck climbing was ding wnders fr me. It has nt nly enhanced my physical and mental strength but als implanted in me a newfund sense f cnfidence. Mrever, it serves as an excellent pprtunity fr Nick and me t strengthen ur bnd, while encuraging me t explre mre pssibilities, embdying the spirit f pushing myself t the limits.

While we aim t avid any appearance f baseless theries, it is ntewrthy t bserve the lng-standing practice f putting magnets (磁铁) in cws, a phenmenn that has been carefully unflding fr years. Why are farmers putting magnets in cws?
Knwn as cw magnets, the devices are placed inside cattle t deal with “hardware disease”. Hardware Disease ccurs after an animal eats a metallic bject that then makes a hle in the wall f the reticulum, the secnd stmach rm in ruminant animals (反刍动物). This issue arises frm the natural eating behavirs f these ruminants, similar t a persn at an unlimited fd event — quickly and eagerly large bites withut sufficient chewing. This fast-paced feeding apprach makes them tend t unintentinally cnsume metal pieces in their fd, including brken farm machinery parts, nails and wires used in fencing, fr instance.
Metal bjects entering the reticulum may result in infectins, increased bdy temperatures, digestive prblems, and unease fr the animals. T address hardware disease, the main strategy is t prevent metal frm entering the cattle’s diet. Farmers have als adpted the methd f placing cw magnets int the stmach using either a stmach tube r a balling gun. The cw magnet attracts such bjects and prevents them frm becming fixed in the animal’s tissue. These magnets, nce psitined, remain within the animals thrughut their lifespan, nly being remved after death when the cws pass away r are prcessed fr meat.
Mseley, a Veterinary Medicine prfessr, states in a hardware disease resurce, “The magnet gathers freign metallic bjects, reducing the risk f making a hle in the reticulum.” Research shws a mild magnetic field affects a cw’s small bld pathways, imprving circulatin and aiding recvery withut significant impact n the cw r milk quality.
8. Why are magnets fed t cws?
A. T change feeding habits.B. T prevent hardware disease.
C. T imprve the milk quality.D. T enhance digestive system.
9. What is the main cause f hardware disease in ruminant animals?
A. Eating withut chewing.B. Taking magnets by mistake.
C. Sufficient chewing hard fd.D. Swallwing metals accidentally.
10. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the passage?
A. T describe the histrical practice f putting magnets in cws.
B. T deny the adptin f cw magnets t enhance cattle health.
C. T discuss the influence f a mild magnetic field n milk quality.
D. T explain the reasn fr using magnets t prevent hardware disease.
11. What might be a lgical cntinuatin f the passage?
A Explring mre ptential benefits f cw magnets.
B. Investigating the brader applicatins f magnets.
C. Discussing the alternative methds f caring fr cws.
D. Evaluating the lng-term effects f magnets n animals.

If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt. Writing is ne f humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) scieties recrded their cncerns nt nly in writing but in things.
Ideally a histry wuld bring tgether texts and bjects, and sme chapters f this bk are able t d just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example f this between literate and nn-literate histry is perhaps the first cnflict, at Btany Bay, between Captain Ck’s vyage and the Australian Abriginals. Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captain’s recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield (盾) drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht. If we want t recnstruct what was actually ging n that day, the shield must be questined and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reprts.
In additin t the prblem f miscmprehensin frm bth sides, there are victries accidentally r deliberately twisted, especially when nly the victrs knw hw t write. Thse wh are n the lsing side ften have nly their things t tell their stries. The Caribbean Tain, the Australian Abriginals, the African peple f Benin and the Incas, all f whm appear in this bk, can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made: a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice. When we cnsider cntact (联系) between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these, all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted, nly ne half f a dialgue. If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Hw past events shuld be presented.B. What humanity is cncerned abut.
C Whether facts speak luder than wrds.D. Why written language is reliable.
13. What des the authr indicate by mentining Captain Ck in paragraph 2?
A. His reprt was scientific.B. He represented the lcal peple.
C. He ruled ver Btany Bay.D. His recrd was ne-sided.
14. What des the underlined wrd “cnversatin” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Prblem.B. Histry.C. Vice.D. Sciety.
15. Which f the fllwing bks is the text mst likely selected frm?
A. Hw Maps Tell Stries f the Wrld B. A Shrt Histry f Australia
C. A Histry f the Wrld in 100 Objects D. Hw Art Wrks Tell Stries

Mary was very happy when she gt her dream part-time jb at the lcal bkshp. It was right next t her schl, s she culd walk there after classes. Her bss, Mr. Thmpsn, was very nice and trusted her with lts f imprtant tasks frm the beginning.
One afternn, Mr. Thmpsn gave Mary and her classmate Alex a special task. He wanted them t make a plan t prmte a new bk series all written by teenagers. “This series is unique because it reflects the vices f yung authrs,” Mr. Thmpsn explained. “I’m cunting n yu tw t cme up with smething that will truly cnnect with the yung readers. Yu’ll have t finalize yur plan befre Friday since the schl Reading Festival is just arund the crner.”
Mary was very excited and happy t help. She ndded eagerly. “Abslutely, Mr. Thmpsn! I can’t wait t get started.” She was s thrilled that she culdn’t stp smiling n her way hme. Finally, there was a chance t shw everyne what she culd d.
But wrking with Alex wasn’t ging t be easy. Alex was knwn fr being bssy and having strng pinins. When Mary met up with him at the library t discuss their prject, she knew it wuld be tricky. “I’ve wrked n similar prjects befre, and simple bths (展位) in the schl curtyard always wrk, and we culd hand ut flyers,” Alex said, withut even lking at Mary.
Mary frwned (皱眉头) as she thught abut Alex’s idea. She knew that bths wrked well, but she felt they culd d smething mre exciting t catch the attentin f their classmates. The new bk series deserved a special prmtin. “If we just fllw the same ld methds, hw will this bk series stand ut?” Mary argued. “What if we have a bk reading sessin with sme authrs? ”
Alex, hwever, didn’t seem interested in explring new ideas. He rlled his eyes at Mary’s suggestins fr creativity, arguing that they didn’t have the time r resurces t try new things. He believed the usual methds wuld wrk best.
