In March 2026, the wrld felt sad abut the passing f Dr. Henry Chang-yu Lee, a famus frensic (法医) scientist. Yet, in his final reflectins, he ften returned nt t his success, but t the quiet strength f the wman wh made his life pssible — his mther, Wang Shuzhen.
Brn in 1897, Wang Shuzhen was a wman f grace and determinatin. Educated and cultured, she married int a wealthy family and raised 13 children in cmfrt. But in 1949, her life fell int darkness. Her husband, a grain businessman, died n the unlucky ship, the Taiping Steamer, and nearly 1,000 ther passengers lst their lives. At 52, as a pr single mther in Taiwan, she faced an impssible chice: giving in t despair r fight fr her children. She chse t fight.
With n incme, she became a maid (女仆), cleaning flrs and washing clthes. She lived in a rented huse, where the children shared a single il lamp t study and passed clthes amng themselves. When relatives strngly suggested she send sme children away r remarry, she refused. “As lng as I breathe,” she respnded firmly, “nt ne will be left behind.”
Her rule was simple: “Be kind, wrk hard, speak less, d mre.” She sld her last jewels t pay fr schl fees, claiming every child shuld receive an educatin. Her effrts finally paid ff. All 13 f her children earned dctr’s degrees, grwing int scientists, engineers, and schlars. Her yungest, Henry, became wrld-famus, yet he always credited his mther’s curage as his true fundatin (基石).
Wang Shuzhen lived t the age f 106, leaving her legend knwn far and wide. U.S. presidents hnred her. Her stry became a symbl f mther’s lve. But t her children, she was simply the wman wh carried them thrugh darkness — with quiet, firm lve.

Our bdies weren’t made t sit fr hurs in a classrm. That may be why many kids struggle t stay fcused in schl, ften lsing track f lessns. High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students fcus better. Just a few minutes f activity imprves brain functin and learning, new research shws, ffering a simple slutin fr classrm prblems.
Eric Drllette wndered hw little exercise was needed t imprve fcus. He’s an exercise expert at the University f Nrth Carlina at Greensbr. He led a team that designed a nine-minute, high-intensity break exercise prgram that culd be dne in a classrm withut extra equipment. It uses shrt perids f heart-beating activity with shrt breaks in between. Fr example, high knees, star jumps, jumping jacks, hps and kicks. They described it in Psychlgy f Sprt and Exercise, a leading academic jurnal.
Twenty-five students aged 9 t 12 tried ut the prgram. At Drllette’s lab, they wre a heart rate mnitr (监测器) and an EEG hat that recrded brain activity in real time. Then they did the high-intensity break exercises, rde an exercise bike r watched a shrt vide. After each activity, participants did sme tests. One test shwed five fish in a line n a screen, and kids had t nte which directin the center fish faced. Other tests fcused n math r language skills.
During the fish test, the team nticed a change in what Drllette calls “the uh-h mechanism” — when yu realize yu made a mistake. High-intensity exercise reduced that respnse, suggesting that exercise had made kids’ brains mre efficient at prcessing infrmatin. Students als perfrmed better n the language tests after the high-intensity wrkut. But they did a little wrse at math. That culd be frm tiredness, which tends t affect higher-level thinking tasks, Drllette says.
Being active can help with bth mental and physical health, says Drllette. His recmmendatin: “Find pprtunities t stand up and get mving, even fr a few minutes, t keep yur brain sharp and yur bdy healthy.”
28. What is the nine-minute prgram designed fr?
A. Helping students get better at fcusing.
B. Training students’ physical strength.
C. Making students mre active in sprts.
D. Assisting students t relax after class.
29. What were the 25 students required t d in Drllette’s lab?
A. They nly did high-intensity exercise.
B. They wre equipment t recrd brain activity.
C. They did tests befre ding any activity.
D. They watched vides fr a lng time.
30. What effect did high-intensity break exercise have n students?
A. It made students better at math.B. It reduced students’ tiredness.
C. It imprved students’ language tests.D. It made students’ brains slwer.
31. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Shrt Breaks: A Cure fr Students’ Tiredness
B. High-Intensity Break Exercises: A way t Imprve Math
C. Shrt Breaks: A Slutin t Building health
D. High-Intensity Break Exercises: An Aid fr Students’ Fcus
