Scientists have learned more about the inner workings of the Earth by studying the way waves from earthquakes travel through the planet’s center. The results suggest that the Earth’s inner core may be starting to spin more slowly than the Earth.
The Earth’s core has two parts: the outer core and the inner core. Both of these are made mainly of the metals iron and nickel. The outer core is liquid. But the inner core is a solid ball held in this liquid almost like the yolk(蛋黄) in an egg.
Scientists suspected for a long time that the inner core might be spinning slightly differently from the way the Earth spins.
In the 1990s, two scientists, Paul Richards and Xiaodong Song, studied the inner core by looking at the waves from earthquakes that travel through the center of the Earth. They focused on groups and pairs of waves from earthquakes that naturally repeat. If the inner core was spinning exactly with the Earth, each wave of the pair should have taken the same time to pass through the Earth. Instead, some moved faster than others. This was because they were hitting different parts of the inner core as it spun. Their studies revealed that the inner core was spinning in the same direction as the Earth, but slightly faster.
Now Dr. Song and Yi Yang—another scientist who studies the Earth—say they’ve used the same method to learn that the Earth’s inner core may be starting to spin slower than the Earth. The researchers studied earthquake wave pairs from Alaska, going all the way back to 1964. They noticed that the inner core’s spin also seemed to change speed in the early 1970s. The scientists say that the inner core may have a pattern of speeding up and slowing down every 70 years or so.
Not everyone agrees. Many scientists who study the Earth say more information needed to figure out what is really going on.

Wildlife crossings don’t just protect animals. They can also mitigate problems related to wildlife-vehicle collisions (碰撞) and save significant money for a community.
Wildlife crossings are man-made structures that help animals move safely around their habitat. They are often paths under or over another existing road or railway, or underground passages for animals to get past for food or avoiding attacks.
Some animals are unable to migrate to survive. People still rely on highways for business and travel, and animals continue to have mobility needs for survival, though. When new roads are built, animals living in a part of their habitat can greatly increase the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions while trying to cross the new barriers.
In a new study, Wisnu Sugiarto, a Washington State University economies doctoral student, examined data for 13 of the 22 wildlife crossings, including bridges and underpasses,in the Washington State. He compared the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions each year be-fore and after the construction of a wildlife crossing. He considered the area within 10 miles of a crossing.
Then he compared his analysis to a separate area in the state with no crossings at all.“The findings reported that wildlife crossing structures reduced the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions by one to three accidents on average per mile per year,” Sugiarto said. “Therefore, building wildlife crossing structures is typically an essential and effective strategy to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions.”
“Prior to working on this research, I wasn’t aware of any strategies to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. I also thought we couldn’t do much about it, partly because we wouldn’t be able to communicate with wildlife and control their movement,” Sugiarto added, “However, it turns out that there are multiple strategies to deal with issues related to wildlife-vehicle collisions and we can do something about them.”
It is reported that the government has invested $ 350 million over five years for the construction of wildlife crossings. Every wildlife crossing offers a mean benefit of between $ 235,000 and $443,000 each year.

10．What is Sugiarto’s attitude to the construction of wildlife crossings?
A．Tolerant. B．Doubtful. C．Favorable. D．Unclear.
11．What is the best title for the text?
A．Wildlife crossings save wild animals and money
B．The size of wildlife crossings affects animals greatly

D．Wildlife crossings manage to help animals migrate safely

An Australian-led study warns that 1,500 of the world’s 7,000 recognized languages might no longer be spoken by the end of this century.
The research, published Friday in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, details a wide range of factors (因素) putting endangered languages under pressure.
Australian researchers have found that as roads increasingly connect cities to more remote areas around the world, native languages can be replaced by their more major counterparts (对手), such as English.
The study also claims that major languages have been found to take the place of those spoken by smaller groups.
Experts have said Australia’s record is poor, and the country has one of world’s highest rates of language loss worldwide.
Before European colonization (殖民地化), more than 250 First Nations languages were spoken in Australia. Today, there are just 40, and only a dozen is being taught to children.
“This has been an on-going process through colonization and globalization,” said the University of Queensland’s professor Felicity Meakins, one of the study’s co-authors. “So, we do not want to forget, of course, in all of this that individual speech communities have their own histories and experiences, and in many places, including Australia, languages have been silenced as the result of cruel colonial policies, which have been designed to suppress (压制) languages. So, for instance, in Australia people were punished for speaking their language and these experiences were really painful.”
Researchers have said that as the world prepares for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO, Decade of Native Language in 2022，their findings were a “vital reminder” that more action is needed to save at risk languages.
They have said that every language is “brilliant in its own way” and a critical part of “our human cultural diversity.”
12．How many living languages are there in the world?
A．7000. B．5500. C．1500. D．250.
13．According to text, what leads to the disappearance of some native languages?
A．Many languages are no longer spoken.
B．Some native languages are spoken by smaller groups.
C．Colonization and globalization put them at risk.
D．People are not willing to save at- risk languages.
14．What’s the present language situation in Australia?
A．More than 250 First Nations languages are spoken in Australia
B．Australia suffers from one of the most language losses in the world.
C．Only two languages are being taught in Australia
D．40 languages are at risk in Australia
15．What is the best title of the text?
A．An Australian-led Research Was Published Friday
B．English Will Put Many Native Languages at Risk
C．Every Language Is Brilliant in Its Own Way
D．Australian Researchers Warn of Many Languages Endangered

As an undergraduate,I was fascinated by a visiting professor’s lecture. The second I left the talk, I called my sister and told her I had decided to become a paleoclimate (古气候) scientist—to which she replied, “A what?” No one in my family has a graduate degree. And no one heard of this term. Thus I began my journey through the unwritten expectations and assumed knowledge about applying to graduate school.
I sent that professor an email, asking whether he had time to talk to me. He agreed to meet virtually, explained his graduate research, and shared stories of fieldwork, but he made no mention of how students were supported. I didn’t think to ask. I assumed pursuing a graduate degree would mean paying tuition and going without income. That was not an option for me. So, I tried to let go of the idea of continuing my education.
Later I learned from my adviser that many programs not only cover tuition, but also offer scholarship. My dream became a possibility again.
Then came the next problem: figuring out how to apply. I fell into a rabbit hole of Internet advice from self-appointed experts, each with a different opinion on email etiquette (礼仪), interview scheduling, and how to express interest in a project. The suggested timelines contradicted (相矛盾) one another. I felt hopeless again, terrified I would break an unspoken rule.
But I gathered all the advice I could and spent hours crafting emails to professors. Ultimately, I was accepted to work on a master’s project in a city where I had always wanted to live.
Standing in the lab that day, I realized that—despite my uncertainty—I had made it exactly where I had hoped to be. When I had started down this path, there was so much I didn’t know. But I made it by trying walking into the unknown.

I knew that my first day of high school would be challenging. There would be higher expectations than middle school and the teachers would be stricter. I missed my classmates a lot, hoping this year would be a good year.
On Monday morning, I was preparing for my first day of high school. My backpack was filled with materials I needed, such as pencils, notebooks and a binder. I walked into the school feeling nervous. Even though I had walked through school gates every day in middle school, this felt different.
According to the curriculum schedule (课程表), my first class was math. The math teacher was actually very nice and I like her from the start. Then came the next three classes, which made me feel it was not so difficult to study in high school.
After lunch, I had a biology class. While I was waiting for the teacher in my seat, my friend from middle school walked in and sat next to me. It made me feel good to know that I knew someone in this class. My biology teacher gave us some advice about high school—stay organized and focused.
I knew this year was going to be a different year. Realizing that I was growing up to be an adult, I set some goals in my mind. Clearly, the first day of high school was not bad, I was happy with most of my teachers, classmates and classes. I felt I was ready to head towards a successful future.

For Shi Qinling, a pair of scissors has been with her everywhere she goes for the past decade- not as a means of self-protection, but as an artistic expression.
To this paper cutting artist, scissors are like what brushes are to painters, or what pens are to writers. Always taking a pair of scissors also allows her to create art whenever inspiration hits. Most of her paper cutting works are inspired by moments in daily life, such as a neighbor’s dog, her own pets and scenes on the streets. “Some people like to pen their feelings in diaries. I prefer to cut them out,” she said.
In 2010, she started learning paper cutting from Xi Xiaoqin, the national inheritor (继承人) of the intangible cultural heritage of paper cutting. Six years later, Shi was named as a Shanghai paper-cutting inheritor and became the city’s “youngest inheritor” of the paper cutting heritage. Over the past decade, Shi’s works have been exhibited in 23 exhibition.
Similar to local dialects, paper-cutting comes in different styles, depending on the region. In general, the papercutting artworks in the country’s northern area are usually rough patterns used as decorations on windows, walls, roofs, lanterns and other household items. In southern China, paper cutting is used as the base pattern for embroidery (刺绣) and requires more careful workmanship. Shanghai paper-cutting, on the other hand, is a combination of these two styles. Since the 1960s, Shanghai paper cutting has been more frequently adopted in artworks and handicrafts.
“We are very proud to have this unique folk culture and art project. As we have the responsibility to protect and inherit this cultural heritage, we will make more efforts to attract people from different age groups and different fields to try paper-cutting,” said Liu Li, director of the Fenglin Community Development Office.
24．Why does Shi Qinling take a pair of scissors with her everywhere?
A．To create art. B．To make clothes.
C．To protect herself. D．To share paper-cutting skills.
25．What can we know about Shi Qinling’s works?
A．They’re mainly related to pens and brushes. B．They’re mostly inspired by daily life.
C．They are popular with young people. D．They have been recorded in diaries.
26．What does the underlined word “combination” mean in paragraph 4?
A．Artworks. B．Handcrafts. C．Mixture. D．Tradition.
27．What can we learn from Liu Li’s words?
A．Paper-cutting is a promising art project.
B．It is difficult to protect and inherit paper-cutting.
C．Everyone should be responsible for protecting paper cutting.
D．Paper cutting will attract more people from different countries.

Along the coastline in northeastern Australia, many flying foxes are infected with a deadly disease. That’s where Pam Tully comes in.
Many mother flying foxes fall from the trees and die. Pam walks miles in the rainforest, collecting babies still clinging (依偎) to their dying mothers. It’s very tiring work. Pam relies on a few volunteers to help rescue the flying foxes during the migration season. Usually, they are college students who come Down Under for a semester of life in the rainforest. Canace came from America to lend a hand to her aunt Pam, and to look for some kind of purpose in life after her mother passed away.
Losing your mother is never easy, but for a teenage girl, the loss at a time of emotional need and guidance is particularly affecting. Going off to live in wilderness half a world away seemed a good thing to do. Pam accepted her with open arms and invited Canace to stay as long as she wanted. After all, she did need the help. So Pam taught Canace to feed the baby flying foxes, keep them wrapped in nappies, nurse them back to health and take them back into the wilderness to rejoin their families.
Day after day, Pam led Canace through the rainforest, collecting babies and bringing them back to the shed where they were treated by an animal doctor, fed every two hours by bottle and even taught to fly. Each flying fox released back into the wild was a victory. And each time one winged away, the loss Canace felt seemed just a little bit less.
We never really get over the loss of a love done, but when we take care of a weak creature, or reach out to somebody else who is hurting, the wound heals just a little bit, and the hurt becomes a memory of being loved.

34．Which can best describe Pam and Canace’s job in the forest?
A．Significant and rewarding. B．Colorful and amusing.
C．Boring and disappointing. D．Dangerous and challenging.

On January 22, a massive iceberg broke off from Antarctica’s (南极洲的) Brunt Ice Shelf. Scientists say the iceberg was expected to break off and the event isn’t connected to climate change. But the size of the iceberg is hard to imagine. This iceberg covers an area of about 600 square miles. That’s about twice the size of New York City.
Antarctica is covered with a layer of ice and snow that’s roughly 1.2 miles thick. As snowfalls, it piles up in the center of Antarctica in a huge layer of ice. Overtime, the weight of this ice and snow creates slowly moving rivers of ice called glaciers, which push out toward the sea.
When the glaciers reach these a，they slowly push out beyond the edge of the land, forming huge“ice shelves”. These are massive sections of ice that spread out over these a, floating on the water below. From time to time, the edges of the ice shelves break off. This is a natural process, called “calving (冰裂作用)”. Though calving events area normal part of the ice shelf in Antarctica, one expert describes huge calving events like this are “quite rare and exciting”.
This is the second time in two years that a huge iceberg has calved from the Brunt Ice Shelf. Though this calving event had nothing to do with the climate crisis, the world’s rising temperatures are definitely affecting Antarctica’s sea ice.
Unlike a nice shelf, sea ice isn’t attached to Antarctica’s land. It’s a layer of ice that floats on the surface of these a. The sea ice is there year-round. It grows larger in the cold winters, and smaller as it begins to melt in the summers. It’s now summer in Antarctica, and scientists say the sea ice is disappearing “unusually” rapidly. Last year, with temperatures warmer than normal, Antarctica set a record for the lowest amount of sea ice ever recorded. Scientists say Antarctica’s sea ice could set a new record low again this year.
35．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?
A．How bad the temperature in Antarctic is.
B．How slowly-moving glaciers are formed.
C．Why so much snow and ice are in Antarctic.
D．What causes the glaciers to move slowly.
36．What does a specialist think of this calving event?
A．Unpredictable. B．Incredible. C．Disastrous. D．Beneficial.
37．What can we infer about the Antarctica sea ice from the last paragraph?
A．It is fixed on Antarctica’s land. B．No season can change its size.
C．Scientists worry about its size. D．It will return to normal next year.
38．What can be the best title of this text?
A．It’s Urgent to Protect Antarctica B．The Climate in Antarctica Is Warmer
C．Massive Iceberg Breaks From Antarctica D．Antarctica’s Sea Ice Grows Larger in Summer

Being in green spaces and connecting with nature is good for your physical and mental health. In Japanese natural healing, forest bathing has been used to decrease stress, anxiety, and even to treat mild depression. Now, scientists have discovered that blue spaces — natural waterways — are also connected to better mental health. A population-based study found that approach to water increased positive feelings of wellbeing.
Being near water gives people a sense of awe, because it gives people a consciousness of something greater than themselves. The sounds and movement of water gets people to focus their attention — like meditation — and this invites calm, You do not have to go to the coast to experience this well-being. Any waterway will do, including lakes, rivers, canals, or ponds. Even a flowing fountain will work.
The study also found that urban waterways were superior to feelings of well-being than just being near the ocean. Canals and rivers contain not only water but also an abundance of trees and plants, which means their capacity to improvement al well-being is likely to be due to the multiple benefits associated with both green and blue spaces.
Canals and rivers also provide homes to a range of wildlife, and we know that there is a notable association between encountering wildlife and mental well-being. Taken collectively, these findings provide an evidence base for what we thought about water and well-being.
These results are very exciting for urban citizens who have access to rivers and canals. The study also found that there were continuous improvements to mental well-being for up to 24 hours after visiting urban waterways. This is all good news. The availability of spaces to be in nature — both green and blue — will help calm their anxiety, stress, and help boost mental health.
39．Why does the author mention green spaces in paragraph 1?
A．To introduce the topic about blue spaces.
B．To tell the great benefits of forest bathing.
C．To tell us what works best in reducing stress.
D．To explain green spaces are unpopular now.
40．What can we know about feelings of well-being from paragraph 3?
A．Your moods in the woods work quite differently.
B．Being near the ocean has the best function to you.
C．Green spaces have no capacity to improve well-being.
D．Combinations of green and blue spaces are more effective.
41．What does the underlined word “notable” mean in paragraph 4?
A．Slight. B．Rare. C．Significant. D．Indistinct.
42．What is the author’s attitude towards the find of blue spaces?
A．Intolerant. B．Favorable. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.

A simple search of Psychology Today shows dozens of posts about New Year’s resolutions. Some of them will tell you that resolutions don’t work and lay out a number of reasons. The rest will give you useful advice on how to try to make them work, while admitting that it will be hard.
The psychology behind this pessimistic view is not difficult to understand.New Year’s resolutions are essentially goals. But,as hundreds of publications in motivation psychology show, goals do not work very well. Indeed, many, if not most, goals are never actually put into practice.
And why should they be? Goals come from the more rational(理性的)part of your brain. Say you want to lose a few pounds or be nicer to people. You are not struggling to see why you want to change.The problem lies in the more impulsive(易冲动的)part of your brain, which sustains your habits and takes over most of your day-to-day actions. Your brain is very good at automatizing behavior, freeing resources for other things. But, when those automatic behaviors conflict with your long-term goals, you struggle.
When you state a New Year’s resolution, or any long-term goal, you are talking to the wrong part of your brain and using the wrong language. “I want to lose weight”and “I want to be nicer to other people” are not written in terms of your habits. You will state those goals, and one day later you will reach for that dessert and shout at your friends.
Should you just abandon New Year’s resolutions? Of course not. You just need to be smarter about it. First, let’s borrow a page from management. People in that field have long known that, to be of any use, goals need to be established in a specific way, which follows the S. M. A．R. T. principle. They have to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-related. Besides, being aware of your goals is the beginning of change, and any opportunity that motivates you to make them clearer is a chance, be it the New Year or the first day of the rest of your life.
43．What does the search of Psychology Today show?
A．More people prefer to make New Year’s resolutions.
B．There are various reasons for failing to realize goals.
C．It’s getting more difficult for people to carry out goals.
D．People tend to be negative about New Year’s resolutions.
44．What determines our habits according to the text?
A．Our long-term goals. B．Our rational thoughts.
C．Our impulsive thoughts. D．Our resource distribution.
45．What’s the author’s attitude to making New Year’s resolutions?
A．Unclear. B．Supportive. C．Intolerant. D．Pessimistic.
46．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．The Psychology Behind New Year’s Resolutions
B．How to Make Your New Year’s Resolutions Work
C．How do New Year’s Resolutions Influence Our Life
D．The Significance of Making New Year’s Resolutions

How men first learned to invent words is unknown. All we have really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts, feelings, actions, and things so that they could communicate with each other. Later, they agree upon certain signs, called letters (字母), which could come together to represent those sounds, and could be written down. These sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations (联系) — the things they bring to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which touch our minds and emotions. Above all, they are skilled at words. They can express their meaning in words which can move us to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speeches silly and vulgar (粗俗的).
I often talk to my kids about the power of words and how we use them. Sometimes we use our words wisely, but sometimes we don’t. Everyone makes mistakes, or says things they regret. Offer kind words anytime you are able to do so. It will make a difference to someone in away. Negative words never bring anything good. Even if you disagree or are expressing your anger, be polite, Remember when words have hurt you, try not to do the same to someone else.
47．Which of the following were first invented by men about language?
A．Sounds. B．Signs. C．Letters. D．Actions.
48．According to the text, what is special about great writers?
A．They are good at communication.
B．They have rich life and work experiences.
C．They never choose silly or impolite words.
D．They can express their great thoughts in touching words.
49．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Emotions. B．Thoughts. C．Words. D．Writers.
50．What does the last paragraph focus on?
A．The power of words and how to use them.
B．Word mistakes which are made by kids.
C．Polite actions that will bring something good.
D．The difference between kind words and negative words.

Southeast Asia has a population of about 680 million people and its countries are seeing rapid economic growth. However, it is also expected to be one of the regions which could be most heavily affected by climate change. Natural disasters already regularly affect the region. Two recent examples are Typhoon Rai, which hit the Philippines and Cyclone Seroja, which affected Indonesia. Urgent action is required to build up the region’s ability to adapt to climate change, and it is a collective responsibility.
Electric Vehicles (EVs) have been a hot topic in regard to climate change, especially since 92% of transport-related emissions (排放) in Southeast Asia come from road transport. Some Southeast Asian nations have started focusing on increasing EV production. Indonesia wants 20% of all cars built there to be EVs by 2025 and Thailand wants to hit 30% by 2030. Thailand also lowered taxes on EVs from 8% to 2% to help incentivize consumers.
Grab, a car rental company with a presence across Southeast Asia, has been a strong advocate of turning to EVs. It is actively helping their driver-partners turn to EVs by making them more affordable through partnerships with automakers, energy providers and other key industry players. It already operates the largest EV rental company in Indonesia with about 8,500 vehicles and also has a feature in Singapore called “Eco-friendly Rides” that allows users to be prioritized for a cleaner energy vehicle for their rides. More than one million rides on cleaner energy vehicles have been provided through that initiative so far since its launch in 2021.
However, some argue that EVs have limitations with regards to controlling emissions. Since Southeast Asia primarily uses coal and natural gas to generate electricity, emission reduction may not be currently comparable to that of regions using more renewable energy. Additionally, EV adoption does also generate concerns around dealing with the used solar panels and EV batteries safely, so they are not the be-all and end-all solution to climate change.

Amazing Festivals
Yi Peng Lantern Festival, Thailand
This wonderful unique Festival is celebrated in Chiang Mai, in November, every year. It is held on the full moon of the twelfth lunar month every year. Locals believe that this is the time when the moon is at its brightest and the rivers are filled to their fullest, so this is the best time to light a lantern or set a floating “kratong” off on the Ping River and make a wish.

A United Nations-backed mission is recommending that the Great Barrier Reef(大堡礁) should be added to the list of endangered World Heritage sites, warning that without “ambitious, rapid and sustained”climate action the world’s largest coral reef is in peril.
The warning came in a report published Monday following a 10-day mission to the reef last March by officials from UNESCO and the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
The reef, a living place of great variety and beauty on the north-east coast of Australia, has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1981.
Australia’s federal government and Queensland’s state authorities should adopt more ambitious emission reduction targets, in line with international efforts to limit future warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times, according to the report.
Feedback from Australian officials, both at the federal and state level, will also be reviewed before UNESCO, the U.N.’s Paris-based cultural agency, makes any official proposal to the World Heritage Committee.
The text is criticizing about recent efforts to stop mass bleaching(褪色) and prevent pollution from ruining the reef’s natural waters, saying they have not been fast nor effective enough. Unlimited emissions lead to increased water acidity, which can be poisonous.
More money should be found to increase the water quality and stop the site’s decline, the report concludes.
In an email to AP, the U.N. cultural agency said: “In recent months, we have had a constructive dialogue with Australian authorities. But there is still work to be done.”
58．What does the underlined word “in peril” mean in paragraph 1?
A．in short B．in need C．in action D．in danger
59．What can we learn about the feedback from Australian officials?
A．It needs to be examined by UNESCO.
B．It covers successful emission reduction targets.
C．It includes many effective measures to protect the reef.
D．It has been submitted to the World Heritage Committee.
60．According to the report, what is the possible solution to the reef problem?
A．Australian authorities’ efforts. B．Unlimited emissions.
C．United Nations’ warning. D．Money for increasing the water quality.
61．What is the attitude of the UN cultural agency towards the matter?
A．Doubtful. B．Satisfied.
C．Objective. D．Uncaring.

Blynn Shideler arrived at Stanford with an award-winning health device. The device addresses a need in the cerebral palsy community. Often, kids with cerebral palsy—a group of disorders that affect movement, balance, and posture—need daily sessions with a physical therapist(治疗专家)to build strength and improve motor skills.
Studying bioengineering at Columbia University, Shideler thought there must be a better way. He worked with other students to design a device that would make it easier for these kids to perform their therapy exercises at home, or anywhere. The result was BUDI-the Biofeedback Upper-limb Device for Impairment—a bracelet(手环) with sensors that tracked motion and provided feedback on how the user could adjust their movements.
BUDI was named “Most Outstanding Design Project from Columbia Biomedical Engineering”. A teenager in Ohio reached out and said, “I have CP, saw your product and would love to see if it works on me.” But Shideler had no bracelets to give him. His team had only built two samples. So, inspired by that message from someone he didn’t know living across the country,Shideler set out to produce BUDI on a larger scale(规模).
In 2021, Shideler got involved in Stanford School of Medicine and planned to start a program that would give children with cerebral palsy the opportunity to try technologies for improving mobility. He got a permission from the FDA’s Pediatric Device Consortium to develop wearable devices. Shideler also attended an introductory session for CardinalKit, an open-sourced platform designed by Stanford researchers for coding digital health research projects.
“I learned about building an app and what we can do with the sensors on smartwatches and phones,” he said. “Maybe BUDI could be designed as software on a smartwatch rather than building bracelets.” If kids anywhere could download BUDI in the app store, Shideler thought, they could have physical therapy on demand on their wrists. It would give them some autonomy, help tackle problems created by a shortage in physical therapists, and reduce the stress on their families.
62．What’s Shideler’s purpose of inventing BUDI?
A．To make a fortune.
B．To help with therapists’ job.
C．To get admitted to Stanford.
D．To make treatment easier for some patients.
63．What can be inferred about the teenager in Ohio?
A．He wanted to try BUDI. B．He thought highly of BUDI.
C．He visited Shideler in person. D．He joined Shideler’s research team.
64．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The popularity of BUDI.
B．BUDI’s influence on Shideler.
C．Shideler’s efforts to produce more BUDIs.
D．Shideler’s achievement in the medical field.
65．What’s Shideler’s expectation for BUDI in the future?
A．It will have more functions.
B．It can be more available for users.
C．It can help families prevent cerebral palsy.
D．It can be recognized by physical therapists.

Since Winnipeg’s Murray Dufton retired, he couldn’t quite keep up with rapidly changing technology. In early 2021, he spotted an e-newsletter in his inbox. Connected Canadians, an Ottawa based organization provided senior citizens with tech help from volunteer mentors(导师) . To Dufton, it sounded like a great opportunity.
Emily Jones Joan is se and Tasneem Damen decided to start Connected Canadians in 2018. “Our goal is to teach senior show to search for information， ”says Jones Joan is se， “and then to become confident in their ability to pick up new technology skills on their own.”
