    In 2022, Linda Brown, a Missouri realtor(房地产经纪人), was awarded the Good Neighbor Award. This honor is given by The National Association of Realtors(NAR) in the US. Working alongside her husband Dr. David Brown, she has been transforming abandoned mobile homes into villages of tiny homes that offer permanent housing to homeless people. Together, and with the help of numerous local volunteers, they have developed Eden Village, a unique hub of tiny homes.

    Mrs. Brown told Goodnet, "My motivation is a dream that Missouri will be a city where no one sleeps outside and the joy is seeing the life change in our friends whom society has given up on."

    The wish to help homeless people, and restore their dignity and self-worth, as Mrs. Brown explained, had been a joint mission for some years. The couple ran a local evening drop-in center for local homeless people called Gardening Tree, for almost a decade. This functioned as a shelter where people experiencing homelessness could grab a bite, shower, do laundry and relax.

    But they wanted to do more than what Dr. Brown called a "band-aid". This desire stems from their philosophy that the homeless can get a new life once they have a roof over their heads. With the help of local organizations, the husband and wife team succeeded in raising almost $5 million, which enabled them to transform unused mobile homes and a ruined trailer park into a small village of tiny homes that opened in 2018. They named this place Eden Village, reflecting the sanctuary(庇护) it offers its residents.

    As Mrs. Brown said in her award acceptance speech about her journey to creating Eden Village, helping homeless people is something personal. "I watched as my homeless friends walked off into the darkness to a hidden, wet, cold camp while we went home to a warm bed. I had to do something," she said.

4、What won Mrs. Brown the Good Neighbor Award?

A. Working as a volunteer. B. Helping her neighbors.

C. Providing housing for the homeless. D. Operating a drop-in center for the poor.

5、Why did Dr. Brown call Gardening Tree a "band-aid"?

A.It was used only in case of emergency. B. It didn't function as a lasting home.

C. It covered only a very small area. D. It failed to provide food for people.

6、How does Mrs. Brown sound in the last paragraph?

A. Delighted. B.Confident. C.Sorrowful. D. Embarrassed.

7、What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Missouri Couple Takes Care of Gardening Tree

B. NAR Honors 2022 Good Neighbor Award Winners

C. Volunteers Help Build Eden Village for the Homeless

D. Eden Village Founder Wins 2022 Good Neighbor Award

    Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a type of hormone(激素) that is released whenever a person experiences fear, anxiety, or stress.

    In fact, as soon as your brain senses danger, it tells your body to start making adrenaline. The hormone moves through your bloodstream quickly and jumps into action by binding to molecules called adrenoceptors, which can be found in cells in almost every organ. When a large amount of the chemical is produced all at once-more than 10 times higher than when you're calm—it's called an adrenaline rush.

    That flood has lots of noticeable effects, and each one is intended to protect you in a dangerous situation. Your pupils(瞳孔) will widen to let more light into your eyes so you can see more of your surroundings. Your brain begins to work faster to draw up a plan. Your heart beats more rapidly and pumps extra blood to your muscles, also delivering an increase of oxygen from your lungs. All of these effects accumulate into nervous, anxious feelings. That's why it might seem as if your head is spinning, your thoughts are racing, or your heart is beating out of your chest.

    Despite what superhero stories might tell you, there's not much evidence that the hormone gives you extra strength. Instead, experts think that epic feats—like a parent lifting a car off a trapped kid-—happen when some kind of psychological switch gets flipped(翻转). That is, unless you're under serious pressure, you might underestimate what your body is really capable of.

    In general, adrenaline rushes have prepared animals for stressful situations for millions of years. The glands(腺) that produce the stimulating chemical are found in any species with a backbone. Even dinosaurs likely had the stimulating stuff pumping through their veins. Early people like Homo Erectus and Homo Habilis probably felt fear and nervousness as they wandered through the prehistoric jungles. When a pop quiz makes you sweaty today, you feel the same tension that helped your ancestors 10,000 generations ago defeat fierce lions.

8、What do we know about an "adrenaline rush"?

A. It controls the level of hormone. B. It makes passive feelings disappear.

C. It leads humans to feel energetic. D. It results from a stressful situation.

9、How does the author make a point in paragraph 3?

A. By explaining concepts. B. By providing exact data.

C.By describing details. D. By making comparisons.

10、What does the underlined part “epic feats” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Fictional stories.  B.Great achievements.

C. Traffic accidents.  D. Psychological phenomena.

11、What's the author's attitude to the role of “adrenaline rushes”?

A.Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous.

    Among thousands of emperor penguins in Atka Bay, a yellow robot named ECHO swiftly creeps over the Antarctic environment and patiently observes the birds.

    Since 2017, ECHO has collected tracking data from microchips taped to the penguins' feathers. "We all know that the world is changing, and that change will have dramatic effects on biodiversity and ecosystems, especially in very remote areas, like Antarctica," says Daniel Zitterbart, a researcher at the Marine Animal Remote Sensing Lab to Popular Science. "To understand if that's true or not, we need to start monitoring those systems very closely now."

    Scientists must physically capture and tag(加标签) each bird on their backs to track penguins. Each tag is a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) system that works in a similar way to the microID chips fixed on pets' backs. But to gather data on the chips, scientists have to get close enough to the devices to scan them, and the weather may be too harsh for humans to go out in the field.

    ECHO gets rid of these issues by acting as a mobile observatory that can monitor thousands of penguins each year. The robot can easily roll up to the penguins and scan the tags without introducing a harmful human footprint in an already vulnerable ecosystem or affecting the colony. The robot is equipped with LIDAR, or light detection and ranging, and a 360-degree camera that can detect penguins on vast areas and uses an antenna(天线) to read each penguin's chip.

    "As a human, you cannot walk around and try to scan 15,000 or 24,000 penguins each year, and it's impossible," Zitterbart tells Popular Science. "The amount of data we can gather through ECHO is something we would never be able to achieve with any other method in this place."

    Researchers say the penguins do not seem to be afraid of ECHO and don't mind it when it comes near. By tracking the colonies' behaviors over time, researchers can observe how penguins adapt and follow where they go to forage(觅食).In turn, these data points can also determine the true size of marine protected areas.

12、What does Daniel Zitterbart stress in paragraph 2?

A. The working principle of ECHO. B.The biodiversity in the Antarctic.

C. The possible effects of climate change. D.The necessity of ECHO in his research.

13、What's one advantage of using ECHO?

A. It leaves behind no harmful traces. B. It tags the penguins automatically.

C. It analyzes collected data on its own. D. It's able to scan the tags in the distance.

14、How do the emperor penguins react to ECH0?

A.They care little about it. B. They are frightened by it.

C.They show much interest in it. D. They choose to stay away from it.

15、What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Robots assist researchers in the Antarctic.

B.Robot lives among penguins in the Antarctic.

C. Antarctica could lose most of its penguins.

D. Antarctic penguins adapt to climate change.

16、Tips for Outdoor Classroom Teaching

    The benefits of teaching outdoors are countless. Nature has been shown to enhance learning, improve concentration and stimulate curiosity. To give you the best tips on teaching outdoors, we share with you the insight and knowledge of our seasoned outdoor educators:

    * Rely on nature's lessons

    ①_____, right at the tip of your fingers. Learning comes alive in nature, and the possibilities for teaching moments are everywhere you look. Who needs a textbook when you can demonstrate the age of a tree or identify an animal footprint in real life?

    * Allow for exploring

    Enough time to explore, discover and dig in the dirt is key to sparking engagement. ②_____. The biggest practice for outdoor classroom teaching is allowing for curiosity by giving time to explore and fully experience the outdoors through most or all of their senses. Students should be doing all of their learning through hands-on experiences by exploring, discovering, and allowing themselves to come up with their own concepts through what they experience.

    * ③_____

    One of the greatest things about teaching outside is that students can witness results and answers to their curiosities in real time. Nature organically creates a laboratory for learning by not giving the answers, but creating a pathway for questions. Instead of finding the answer in a book, nature allows students to act as real scientists and biologists. ④_____.

    * Use pair shares

Some teachers may find that walking from one destination to the next causes students to become distracted(分心). A great solution is to set up “pair shares” among your group. Have students walk in twos and provide science learning prompts(提示) as you go. ⑤_____!

A. Let nature answer questions

B. Nature provides all of the teaching tools

C. This keeps them engaged and learning on the go

D. Let go of all classroom rules and learning structures

E. They can spend several days in nature, living and learning

F. It can lead to questions, discussions and even investigations

G.Field journals should be provided so that they can record their observations

Bicycling Your Way to Health

    In order to celebrate World Bicycle Day, which falls on June 3 every year, our city is organizing a series of activities to encourage people to take up bicycling.

    As we all know, China is known as the "Kingdom of Bicycles". Despite the great popularity of e-bikes at present, many people still prefer traditional bikes as a means of travelling, which is both convenient and eco-friendly. By bicycling regularly, we'll get a chance to bond and enjoy nature together.

    Therefore, I suggest we students choose bicycling whenever it's necessary, and make it our favorite way to travel in future so as to keep ourselves fit and reduce our environmental impact.
