Will Gladstne remembers first learning abut the blue-fted bby in his fifth grade science class. They are a symbl f the Galapags Islands.
The blue-fted bby ppulatin in the Galapags has fallen t a third f its size since the1960s. This fact stayed with Will, wh grew up bird-watching with his dad arund their hmetwn. Will had never been t the Galapags, nr seen a blue-fted bby in persn, but decided he wanted t help prtect them.
A few days later, he came up with a plan: He culd sell blue scks, the same clr as the bird's feet, t raise mney fr prtectin effrts. Will set up his nline site The Blue Feet Fundatin in March 2016. The website was up fr three mnths befre Will and his yunger brther Matthew sld their first pair f scks. “We reached ut t a lt f peple and they wuldn't take us we were just kids.”
But being “just kids” cmes with its wn strengths. They made an Instagram accunt fr the fundatin and started direct-messaging stars. Will says ne f their biggest supprters is his lngtime favrite hckey player, Kevan Miller. They have sld abut 10,000 pairs f scks t custmers in 46 cuntries, raising abut $90, 000 after csts. All prfits g t the Galapags Cnservancy and the Charles Darwin Fundatin, tw research and prtectin rganizatins based in the Galapags Islands.
Will's and Matthew's effrts are already having a beneficial effect. Their mney was used fr a blue-fted bby ppulatin survey in 2017 by a team f 10 researchers. The researchers reprt that they did see many mre baby birds than in their previus study in 2012.
Three years after frming the fundatin, Will gt t visit the Galapags n a week-lng schl trip. And Will finally gt t see a blue-fted bby in persn. “I was crazily lking arund and when l saw ne, it was really cl,” Will said.
The brthers have wn several awards fr their wrk. But they each say the biggest award they've gt is perseverance.
24. What inspired Will t prtect the blue-fted bby?
A. The drp f the birds' number.B. His trip t Galapags Islands.

Dr. Wiseman started “the laugh lab” prject in September. It is the largest study f humur. Participants (参加者) are invited t lg n t the laugh lab website, give a few persnal details, tell their favurite jkes and judge the jkes tld by ther peple.
The prject will last fr a year and the rganisers hpe t finally discver the wrld’s funniest jke. But there is als a serius purpse. The researchers want t knw what peple frm different natins and cultures find funny. And they want t find ut the differences between the male and female sense f humur. The idea is that if we want t understand each ther, we have t find ut what makes us laugh.
This is a subject that has lng attracted psychlgists and philsphers. Mst f the time, peple are nt cmpletely hnest. We d things that sciety expects us t and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannt be cntrlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth abut urselves. By December ver 10,000 jkes had been submitted (递交). This gave the scientists enugh evidence t make early cnclusins. It seems that men and wmen d have different senses f humur, fr instance.
“Our findings shw the majr differences in the ways in which males and females use humur,” said Dr. Wiseman. “Males use humur t appear superir t thers, while wmen are mre skilled in languages and prefer wrdplay.”
Researchers als fund that there really is such a thing as a natinal sense f humur. The British enjy what is usually called “tilet humur”. But the French like their jkes shrt and sharp: “Yu’re a high priced lawyer. Will yu answer tw questins fr $500?” “Yes. What’s the secnd questin?” The Germans are famus fr nt having a sense f humur. But the survey fund that German participants were mre likely t find submitted jkes funny than any ther natinality. Perhaps that prves the pint. Is this jke funny? I dn’t knw, but let’s say yes, just t be safe.
Dr. Wiseman and his wrkmates als submitted jkes created by cmputers. But nne f thse wh tk part in the survey fund any f them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Cmputers already seem like they can d everything. At least they shuld leave the funny stuff t us.
28. The purpse f “the laugh lab” prject is ______.
A. t find the funniest jke in Eurpean cuntries
B. t get mre persnal details abut participants
C. t knw what funny peple are like frm different natins and cultures
D. t find ut the differences between the male and female sense f humur
29. We can infer frm the passage that ______.
A. mst f the peple all ver the wrld are cmpletely hnest
B. scientists have cllected enugh evidence t make final cnclusins
C. men and wmen have similar senses f humur
D. jkes created by cmputers are less amusing t peple
30. What is the best title fr the passage?
A. Funny r nt?B. Laugh luder!
C. Men laugh betterD. Watch ut fr the trap in jkes!

As yu leave the Bandhavgarh Natinal Park in India, there is a ntice which shws a huge tiger. The ntice says, “Yu may nt have seen me, but I have seen yu.” There are mre than a billin peple in India and Indian tigers prbably see humans every single day. Tigers can and d kill almst anything they meet in the jungle. Hwever, it is a little strange that attacks n humans are nt that frequent.
Sme peple might argue that these attacks were in fact cmmn in the past. But there were far mre tigers arund in thse days. S, t sme extent, attacks appear t have been as rare then as they are tday.
Peple think it is because f fears, but what exactly are tigers afraid f? Can they really knw that we may be even better armed than they are? Surely nt. Has the species prgrammed the experiences f all tigers with humans int its genes t be inherited as instinct? Perhaps. But I think the explanatin may be simpler and, in a way, mre interesting.
I suspect that a tiger’s fear f humans lies in the way he actually bserves us visually. Imagine a tiger sees a man wh is 1.8 meters tall. A tiger is less than 1 meter tall but he may be up t 3 meters lng frm head t tail. S when a tiger sees the man face n, it might nt be unreasnable fr him t assume that the man is 6 meters lng. If he met a deer f this size, he might attack the animal by leaping n its back, but when he lks behind the man, he can’t see a back. Frm the frnt the man is huge, but lked at frm the side he all but disappears. This must be very disturbing. A hunter has t be cnfident that it can kill its prey, and n ne is cnfident when they are discncerted.
The ppsite is true f a squatting human. A squatting human is half the size and presents twice the spread f back, and appears like a medium-sized deer. Many incidents f attacks n peple invlve villagers bending ver t cut grass. The fact that humans stand upright may nt just distinguish them frm ther species, but als help them t survive in an unpredictable envirnment.
31. As fr sme peple’s pinin n tiger attacks, the authr is ________.
A. bjectiveB. uncncernedC. supprtiveD. disapprving
32. Why des the authr raise three questins in Paragraph 3?
A. T present assumptins.B. T evaluate arguments.
C. T questin findings.D. T cnfirm pinins.
33. What des the underlined wrd “discncerted” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Cnfused.B. Annyed.C. Depressed.D. Surprised.
34. What can we learn frm the last tw paragraphs?
A It is the genes that cause the tiger’s fear f humans.
B. It is hard fr a tiger t make ut the shape f humans.
C. Tigers sense the danger the mment they spt humans.
D. Tigers are less cnfident when facing squatting humans.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
If yu enjy walking fr exercise, there’s a simple way t meet yur demand—change yur walk int a ruck. And it’s an increasingly ppular frm f exercise.
Rucking is walking with weight n yur back. The term “rucking” cmes frm ruck marching, a cre skill used by the military arund the wrld. One f the tests the army nrmally gives t sldiers is a 12-mile ruck, which they must cmplete within three hurs while carrying a weight f at least 35 punds.
The reasn why rucking is grwing in ppularity is that it’s an easy and all-bdy exercise. One study in 2019 shwed that 10 weeks f weighted walking imprved physical perfrmance. Since rucking is usually perfrmed utdrs, there is n dubt that it’s als gd fr yur mental health. Lts f studies suggest that the mental health benefits f being in a natural envirnment are huge.
There are several tips fr yur rucking when yu get started. First, dn’t be t eager. As with any new exercise, yu’ll need t begin slwly. Start with an empty backpack and walk a distance yu’ve already dne. When yu start adding weight t yur pack, try smething lw, like 10% f yur bdy weight. Adding weight is ging t put mre stress n yur ankles, knees, hips and back, s d it gradually. Anther ptin is t start with a weighted vest instead f a backpack. This spreads the weight between yur frnt and back. And f curse, dn’t frget yur feet. Select a cmfrtable pair f shes t prevent getting hurt.

Hell everyne,
I’m studying jurnalism in university. In the first term, everyne has t d a curse called“Creative Thinking and Writing”. At first, I thught it wuldn’t be a prblem — but nw I’m really anxius because I’m nt a creative persn at all! I’m scared that I’m ging t lk stupid and I wn’t pass the curse, r else I’ll nly get thrugh it with great difficulty.
Can anyne help me? Sme tips n being creative wuld be gd.
Thanks a lt.
Paul
Hi Paul,
I read yur pst and can cmpletely relate t it. I’ve been in exactly the same situatin — I even did a jurnalism curse, just like yu. S here are my thughts.
Yu say “I’m nt a creative persn”. Lk — everyne’s creative. If yu tell yurself yu’re nt creative, yu’ll easily start t believe it. S, the first thing t d is: stp thinking like that. Peple smetimes talk abut“thinking utside the bx”. Actually, the bx is the way we’ve been brught up t see prblems. A central difficulty in ur ability t think utside the bx is that we must always have a “right” answer, which limits creative thinking. S, try t stp seeing things as “right” r “wrng”.
Anther prblem is that we ften find faults with ur wn ideas befre we give them a chance t grw. While yu’ re thinking, just try t brainstrm ideas in an enjyable way — then chse the best ideas later.
And dn’t wrry abut lking stupid. If yu try an idea and ther peple laugh at yur idea, that’s their prblem, nt yurs. Try t lk at the curse as a way t have fun. Wrk hard, dn’t hld yurself back, d everything with great interest, and yu’ll be fine.
Anyway, enugh frm me. I hpe these ideas help.
Sarah
