When Jhn Tdd was a child, he lved t explre the wds arund his huse, bserving hw nature slved prblems. A dirty stream, fr example, ften became clear after flwing thrugh plants and alng rcks where tiny creatures lived. When he gt lder, Jhn started t wnder if this prcess culd be used t clean up the messes peple were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in cllege, Jhn went back t bserving nature and asking questins. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds f fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right cmbinatin f animals and plants, he figured, maybe he culd clean up waste the way nature did. He decided t build what he wuld later call an ec-machine.
The task Jhn set fr himself was t remve harmful substances frm sme sludge (污泥). First, he cnstructed a series f clear fiberglass tanks cnnected t each ther. Then he went arund t lcal pnds and streams and brught back sme plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds f life gt used t ne anther and frmed their wn ecsystem. After a few weeks, Jhn added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the ec-machine tk the sludge as fd and began t eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, Jhn has taken n many big jbs. He develped a greenhuse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) frm 1,600 hmes in Suth Burlingtn. He als designed an ec-machine t clean canal water in Fuzhu, a city in sutheast China.
“Eclgical design” is the name Jhn gives t what he des. “Life n Earth is kind f a bx f spare parts fr the inventr,” he says. “Yu put rganisms in new relatinships and bserve what’s happening. Then yu let these new systems develp their wn ways t self-repair.”
4. What can we learn abut Jhn frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. He was fnd f traveling.B. He enjyed being alne.
C. He had an inquiring mind.D. He lnged t be a dctr.
5. Why did Jhn put the sludge int the tanks?
A. T feed the animals.B. T build an ecsystem.
C. T prtect the plants.D. T test the ec-machine.
6. What is the authr’s purpse in mentining Fuzhu?

The film “Catch the Dll” is a pignant and thught-prvking wrk that, n the surface, delivers the signature humr f the Happy Twist team, but underneath, it presents a cruel allegry that resnates deeply with the audience. Here are my impressins f the mvie, articulated in English:
“Catch the Dll” is a masterful blend f cmedy and tragedy, a film that starts with laughter but ends with a prfund reflectin n life's irnies. The mvie, starring the icnic du Shen Teng and Ma Li, is akin t a sugar-cated shell that initially ffers the sweet taste f humr but gradually reveals the bitter pill f scial satire and a prbing examinatin f human nature.
The film’s narrative is a stark prtrayal f the extreme pressures and expectatins placed n children by their parents. Shen Teng's character, Ma Chenggang, a wealthy businessman, and his wife, Chunlan, played by Ma Li, are the epitme f parents wh are willing t g t any lengths, even t the pint f deceptin and manipulatin, t ensure their sn’s success. Their apprach t parenting is chilling, turning the cncept f a nurturing hme int a prisn f expectatins and cntrl.
The mvie cleverly uses exaggeratin t highlight the absurdity f such an extreme parenting style. Ma Chenggang’s belief in the necessity f hardship fr his sn's grwth is a twisted interpretatin f the saying, “Heaven will cnfer a great respnsibility n a persn, it will first exercise his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bnes with til.”
“Catch the Dll” als invites us t cnsider the brader implicatins f such behavir. It raises questins abut the value f individual freedm and the right f children t have their wn dreams and aspiratins, rather than being mere tls t fulfill parental ambitins. The film serves as a mirrr, reflecting the ften-verlked issues f excessive expectatins, ut-f-cntrl educatin, and the disregard fr persnal value in mdern sciety.
In the end, “Catch the Dll” is nt just a cmedy; it’s a scial cmmentary that prvkes deep thught and self-reflectin. It’s a film that, despite its humrus facade, leaves a lasting impact, urging viewers t questin the nature f lve, cntrl, and the true meaning f success. The mvie’s ending, which is bth happy and tinged with regret, encapsulates the cmplex emtins that it stirs within us, reminding us that ften, we spend ur lives trying t heal the wunds f ur childhd.
8. What is the central theme f the film “Catch the Dll”?
A. The imprtance f parental guidance in children's success.
B. The balance between humr and scial issues in filmmaking.
C. The paradxical nature f extreme parenting and its impact n children.
D. The jurney f a child's pursuit f happiness and success.
9. In the film, the character Ma Chenggang’s parenting style is depicted as:
A. Encuraging and supprtive f his sn’s persnal aspiratins.
B. Strict but ultimately beneficial fr his sn’s character develpment.
C. Excessive and ptentially damaging t his sn’s well-being.
D. Indifferent and neglectful f his sn’s emtinal needs.
10. The film "Catch the Dll" uses the character f Ma Chenggang t:
A. Critique the scietal pressure n children t succeed academically.
B. Advcate fr a mre lenient apprach t parenting.
C. Illustrate the ptential cnsequences f extreme parental cntrl.
D. Demnstrate the effectiveness f traditinal parenting methds.
11. The authr’s tne in discussing the film “Catch the Dll” can be best described as:
A. Critical and disapprving f the depicted parenting methds.
B. Neutral, simply presenting the film’s narrative withut bias.
C. Admiring and appreciative f the film’s scial cmmentary.
D. Skeptical, questining the effectiveness f the film’s message.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescpe has revealed a planet, WASP-107b. The planet, which rbits a K-type star in under six days, has already caught the attentin f astrnmers and been cnsidered an dd thing, fr its size is abut 1,316 times larger than that f Earth but its mass nly abut 30 times heavier, earning it the name f the “candyflss” (棉花糖) planet.
The latest bservatins give a strange wrld beynd ur slar system. “Our understanding f ther planets depends n what we knw frm ur wn planet,“ says Prf. Leen Decin, first authr f the research. “That’s very restricted knwledge. But explring space requires mre.” The planet was discvered in 2017, after astrnmers sptted light frm its hst star, each time the planet passed in frnt f it. “It’s like a fly in frnt f a street lamp,” says Decin.
James Webb takes these bservatins t the next level by measuring starlight shining thrugh the planet’s atmsphere. Because distinct elements absrb light f distinct wavelengths, the band f clred starlight indicates which gases are present.
The latest bservatins f the “candyflss” planet reveal evidence f gases like water vapr (水蒸气) in the atmsphere. It is als the first time that the chemical cmpsitin f cluds n anther planet has been identified-in this case, a kind f special sand. The planet’s atmsphere wuld feature smething similar t the Earth’s water cycle but invlve sand cycling between slid and gaseus states. Frm the htter, lwer levels, with temperatures clse t 1,000℃, sme steam wuld rise up, cl and frm grains f sand t small t see. Eventually, these cluds f sand wuld becme heavy enugh and they wuld rain back.
“The universe has s many surprises,” says Decin. “I d visualize varius alternative ways fr life t frm n anther planet. It might be very different frm smething yu knw here n Earth. We have t braden ur imaginatin.”
12. Why is WASP-107b thught strange?
A. It has shining starlight.B. It rbits the parent star quickly.
C. It is large but relatively light.D. It is in the shape f candyflss.
13. What restricts peple’s knwledge f ther planets?
A. Unfreseen prblems in space explratin.B. Limited infrmatin frm Earth.
C. Strict requirements fr direct bservatins.D. Lack f supprt fr in-depth research.
14. Which aspect f WASP-107b is mainly talked abut in paragraph 4?
A. Its sand cycling.B. Its similarities t Earth.
C. Its weather patterns.D. Its atmspheric cnditins.
15. What d Decin’s wrds imply in the last paragraph?
A. Astrnmy imprves life n Earth.B. Life might exist in uter space.
C. Life n ther planets brings surprises.D. Researchers shuld be mre creative.
