Last mnth, Jasmin Paris wn a mment f fame after cmpleting the Barkley Marathns, a race s hard that nly 19 men have managed t finish in the past 35 years. Paris is the first wman t cmplete the race. But it is nt Paris’s first brush with greatness.
Five years ag, she wn the Spine Race: 268 miles alng the Pennine Way in January. As the mther f a breastfeeding daughter, Paris had the additinal disadvantage f having t express milk at rest stps, but she nevertheless beat bth the Spine Race recrd and the men trying t keep pace with her. Her nearest challenger, Eugeni Rselló Slé, had t be rescued fur miles frm the finish line. The eventual winner f the men’s race, Ein Keith, was abut 50 miles behind Paris when she crssed the finish line.
Why wuld anyne subject themselves t this hard situatin? A quarter f a century ag, the behaviral ecnmist Gerge Lewenstein addressed this questin. He suggested fur mtives: self-signaling, gal cmpletin, mastery and meaning. Hwever, as far as I am cncerned, these drives are nt unique t ultramarathners like Jasmin Paris. Wh amng us des nt value the satisfactin f achieving a gal, r finding urselves the equal f a testing challenge?
Over the past year, I’ve made a habit f a Saturday mrning 5K Parkrun. I’ve never been a runner. I’m always afraid befre I start and in pain until I finish. Still, the run is nt a serius duty I d nly fr my health. It feels gd t be the kind f persn wh sets himself a stretching gal and achieves it. There is a lessn here fr thse frmulating (制定) public plicy in an attempt t make the wrld a better place. Peple want mney and pleasure, but they als want t challenge themselves, feel a sense f meaning and enjy a sense f mastering their skills. Hwever, plicymakers tend t ignre such desires, even thugh there exists a Jasmin Paris element in each f us.
4. What additinal challenge did Jasmin Paris face during the Spine Race?
A. She had t take care f her sick daughter.
B. She needed t express milk at rest stps.
C. She was far behind ther male runners at first.
D. She gt injured fur miles frm the finish line.
5. The phrase “subject themselves t” in Paragraph 3 prbably means ________.
A. frce themselves t quit
B. prtect themselves frm
C. make themselves experience
D. help themselves deal with
6. What des the authr say abut Lewenstein’s explanatin f the mtives?
A. It is widely applicable.
B. It requires a thrugh review.
C. It can be further imprved.
D. It falls shrt f cmpleteness.
7. What wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Amazing Stries Behind the Spine Race.
B. Why We Are All a Bit like Jasmin Paris?
C. A Valuable Lessn frm Ultramarathners.
D. What Makes the Barkley Marathns Special?
C
Fr decades mercury (汞) has been settling int lakes and ceans, where it turns int methylmercury — a pisnus substance that sticks t fish and everything that eats them, humans included. Methylmercury pisning, which can damage the nervus system, “always seemed like such a difficult thing t deal with,” says Kate Tepper, a pstdctral researcher at Australia’s Macquarie University.
T try t slve this prblem, Tepper and her clleagues genetically engineered zebra fish and fruit flies s that the rganisms can change methylmercury int the less harmful elemental mercury, which leaves the bdy as a gas.
The researchers injected zebra fish and fruit fly embrys (胚胎) with Escherichia cli (大肠杆菌) genes that prduce a cnversin enzyme (转化酶). As the scientists reprt in Nature Cmmunicatins, the mdified zebra fish cntained 64 percent less mercury than unmdified nes, and the fruit flies had 83 percent less. Tepper says that the small, mercury-resistant fish culd serve as a self-purifying fundatin fr the fd chain, prtecting larger fish, birds and humans that eat them. Mdified insects, meanwhile, culd remve mercury frm the envirnment by eating waste.
Rbert Masn, a marine scientist at the University f Cnnecticut, says mdified animals might reduce methylmercury buildup lcally. Hwever, he sees a limitatin: even fr small-scale cleanups, elemental mercury can change back int methylmercury nce it is released int the atmsphere.
Tepper thinks the mdified zebra fish wuld ideally be intrduced at highly plluted sites. First, thugh, the researchers need t make sure the mdified fish are safe. Tepper prpses eventual field trials in small lakes s that scientists can test fr unintended eclgical effects in a cntrlled setting.
Such trials are years away. Hwever, Tepper believes smeday, we culd use similar methds t clean up ther pllutants, like micrplastics and chemicals.” This shws we can use animals t clean up pllutin,” she says. “Ptentially we culd use this fr a lt f pllutants.”
8. What des the authr intend t shw thrugh paragraph 1?
A. The wrldwide mercury pllutin prblem.
B. The difficulty in detecting mercury in water.
C. The mtivatin behind dealing with mercury pllutin.
D. The imprtant discvery f methylmercury pisning.
9. What can we learn abut the genetically mdified zebra fish?
A. They can reduce mercury in the fd chain.
B. They can prduce mre cnversin enzymes.
C. They are mre useful than mdified fruit flies.
D. They are mre attractive t animals that eat them.
10. What des Rbert Masn say abut the genetically mdified animals?
A. They might bring abut mre harm than gd.
B. They might nt d much t cut mercury pllutin.
C. They are mre cst-effective than existing methds.
D. They shuld be put t gd use immediately.
11. Hw des Tepper feel abut their new way t remve mercury in water?
A. Negative.B. Wrried.
C. Cnfused.D. Optimistic.

Friend is a new wearable AI cmpanin that yu can wear arund yur neck. The small, white, puck-shaped device recrds yur every wrd and interactin and respnds accrdingly by text. The cmpany says it des nt stre yur cnversatins and yu can delete its “memries” whenever yu want t.
Friend, alng with ther similar AI cmpanin prducts, exists at the crssrads f tw cmplex issues: AI and the lneliness epidemic (流行病). As technlgy reshapes hw we interact with thers, mre and mre peple reprt feeling scially discnnected. In 2023, the WHO declared lneliness a “glbal public health cncern” that is as bad fr peple’s health as smking 15 cigarettes a day.
Hwever, peple’s respnses t this AI cmpanin trend are mixed. While sme peple argue that it can help peple feel less lnely, thers wrry that AI cmpaninship might replace real human cnnectins, and thus further wrsen feelings f lneliness.
But s far, research desn’t seem t supprt this fear. In 2024, Bethanie Drake-Maples, a researcher in human-centered AI, and her team investigated mre than 1,000 students wh used the AI chatbt Replika.These users reprted decreased anxiety and a feeling f scial supprt. Nearly a quarter f thse surveyed said Replika had led t psitive changes in their actins and ways f thinking. “I am mre able t handle stress in my current relatinship because f Replika’s advice,” ne respndent wrte. “These findings, thugh, are nt generalized,” says Drake-Maples. “It’s nt clear that every average Je is ging t experience the same effect.” The studies she has cnducted fcus n “students wh are pretty lnely”. “But the peple wh may benefit frm AI cmpaninship are nt just thse n the fringe (边缘) f sciety,” she adds.
Hwever, it is still a new field. “I strngly believe that we d need t have ethical guidelines arund AI cmpanins that can push peple back, when apprpriate, twards human relatinships,” Drake-Maples adds. These culd be gentle nudges (劝说) like “Hey, yu shuld g chat with smebdy abut that.” r “G practice this nw with a real human.”
12. What is the purpse f paragraph 1?
A. T demnstrate hw an AI cmpanin wrks.
B. T intrduce the tpic f the impact f AI cmpaninship.
C. T shw the rapid develpment f AI cmpaninship.
D. T prmte the AI cmpanin called Friend.
13. What can we learn abut AI cmpaninship frm Drake-Maples’ investigatin?
A. Its effects require further in-depth study.
B. It can equally benefit the general public.
C. Its develpment prspects are cncerning.
D. It shuld be applied with greater cautin.
14. What des Drake-Maples imply by his wrds in the last paragraph?
A. AI cmpanins deserve wider applicatin.
B. AI can revlutinize hw humans cnnect.
C. AI shuld ultimately serve human cnnectins.
D. AI cmpanins can learn frm human interactin.

In the middle f February, a cld wind filled the air, telling stries f the pwer f winter. Yung Bridger Peabdy, with his messy hair and big curius eyes, was being cared fr by his great-grandmther, Sharn Lewis. Her huse, full f warmth, ld phts. and quiet memries, became their safe place while Bridger’s family was at the hspital with his sister.
Sharn, a strng and clever persn, had always been like a bright light in Bridger’s life. But ne evening, as the stars began t shine in the dark sky, a sudden slip utside her dr changed everything. The grund was slippery, and she fell hard. her head hitting the cld and hard step. Pain sht thrugh her, and she fund herself lying still n the frzen grund, unable t mve. “Bridger,” she called ut, her vice shaking but still strng. “I need yur help.”
The little by, wh had been quietly playing in the living rm, ran t her side. His heart punded fast when he saw his great-grandmther n the grund. He felt scared and unsure. Bridger had nly recently recvered frm a lng illness, and running t much still made him dizzy. And ever since he was little, he’d been terrified f the dark.
“Can yu get my phne frm the car, hney?” Sharn asked gently, trusting him cmpletely. Bridger ndded, even thugh his small hands were trembling. He tk a deep breath and whispered t himself, “Dn’t be scared. Dn’t be scared.” Like a sng, the wrds helped him stay brave.
The vide frm the backyard camera later shwed his curage — a tiny shape mving thrugh the cld, dark night, his vice just a small sund in the stillness.
Each step he tk was a brave fight against his fear, but Bridger didn’t stp. He reached the car, his fingers searching quickly fr the phne. His face lit up when he fund it. Hlding it tightly, he ran back tward the huse. “I gt it!” he shuted, his vice full f pride, hpe and lve.
