Fr a number f Indians wh fr ver half a century have replayed a race again and again, Milkha Singh’s 400meters final run at the Rme Olympics shuld be amng the greatest heartbreaks in glbal sprting histry. In fact, they hped it wuld thrw up a different result.
Hwever, cntinued praise fr the man decades later is due t the effrt by India's greatest track athlete n that September day in the Italian capital, thugh he still missed ut n becming India’s first Olympic track medalist.
As he was grwing up, he used t run bareft daily n ht sand t schl, which was situated 20kilmeters frm his huse. He thinks this was gd training but knws it is nt pssible t ask children t d this tday. Hwever, he des feel that the early identificatin f talented athletes is als imprtant fr India's athletic teams t shine.
India has in the last few years judged success purely in terms f medals, but lking int the past reveals hw a mre generus generatin saluted Milkha as a pineer. Milkha is India’s finest track athlete f all time. He remains the nly Indian male t win an individual Cmmnwealth Games athletics gld—he wn the 400 meters at Cardiff in 1958, the first athlete frm independent India t d s.
Since retiring frm athletics, the frmer champin athlete has set up the Milkha Singh Charitable Trust, which helps prer families survive if an athlete in their family has died. A percentage f the prfits frm the film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag are ging t his trust.
Finally, let's read a qute frm Milkha himself: “There is n shrtcut t success.” A scene in the film shws Milkha Sing h running with injured feet—this actually happened. “I haven’t fund an alternative t hard wrk. Yu need t be patient, dedicated and true t yurself and yur wrk.”

Usain Blt burned abut 10kcal f energy t win his gld during the 200-metre sprint final at the Olympic Games, which culd rughly pwer an ld 60W light bulb fr 1 1 minutes. If yu culd make use f all the pwer generated by all the athletes during the Games, yu wuld still be nwhere clse t reaching the 29.5 billin Watts cnsumed verall by the athletes, spectatrs and rganizers ver the event. We take sprt fr granted, but d we ever cnsider its cst t the planet?
Frm the water required t maintain the glf curse during The Masters turnament t the hundreds f flights it takes t bring ftball fans t a Wrld Cup, majr sprts events are nt helping much in the fight against glbal heating. What's mre, there is a lack f recgnitin within sprt f its respnsibilities and little discussin abut pssible slutins.
This is strange given that the effect wrks bth ways: the climate crisis is nt just affected by sprts, but it is already having a negative impact n many sprts. When ice-climber Will Gadd set ut t cnquer the wrld's glaciers,
he didn't realize it wuld becme a race against climate change. “I thught glaciers are there frever.” When he arrived at the summit, Gad d was shcked: “The ice…wasn’t there. The things I planned t climb were gne.”
Glbal heating is nticeable in ther sprts. Amy Steel played prfessinal net ball until she suffered frm heatstrke after playing in 39°C cnditins and unfrtunately, the damage was permanent. Nt nly that, but extreme weather events made mre frequent as a result f glbal heating mean sprting events are mre ften delayed r cancelled. This has cst sprt billins in ptential earnings.
Yet sprt can be a pwerful mtivatr: it can unite whle natins behind its teams. Culd sprt have a rle t play in driving climate awareness? Will Gad d and Amy Steel are amng many athletes wh think s. One thing is certain. Sprt must put climate change at the tp f its agenda and decarbnize at a Usain Blt-like pace t make a difference.
28. What is the main fcus f the first paragraph?
A. The energy impact f sprts events. B. Blt's cntributin t the envirnment.
C. The amunt f pwer generated by athletes. D. The reasn fr energy cnsumptin in sprts.
29. Why des the writer use Will Gad d and Amy Steel as examples?
A. They initiated climate-cnscius sprts. B. They sustained permanent injuries in sprts.
C. They fell victim t climate-related incidents. D. They achieved recrd-breaking perfrmances.
30. What effect f glbal heating n sprts is mentined in the text?
A. Stricter facility restrictins. B. Substantial financial lsses.
C. Higher athlete training standards. D. Prlnged utdr sprts seasns.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Sprts in the Climate Crisis B. Athletes against Glbal Heating
C. The Olympian Energy Dilemma D. The Envirnmental Cst f Outdr Sprts

Despite all the effrts students make t graduate with a science majr, research has shwn that mst cllege science curses prvide students with nly a fragmented (碎片化的 ) understanding f fundamental scientific cncepts. The teaching methd imprves memrizatin f separate facts, prceeding frm ne textbk chapter t the next withut necessarily making cnnectins between them, instead f learning hw t use the infrmatin and cnnect thse facts meaningfully.
With that in mind, we develped a series f crss-disciplinary(跨学科的) activities. In ur mst recent study, we investigated hw well cllege students culd use their chemistry knwledge t explain real-wrld bilgical phenmena. T begin with, we interviewed 28 first-year cllege students majring in sciences r engineering. All had taken bth intrductry chemistry and bi lgy curses. We asked them t identify the cntent f these curses and what they believed t be the take-hme messages frm each curse. The students respnded with extensive lists f tpics, cncepts, and skills that they'd learned in class.
Fllwing that, a set f crss-disciplinary activities were designed t guide students in the use f cre chemistry ideas and knwledge t help explain real-wrld bilgical phenmena. One activity explred the impacts f cean acidificatin n seashells. Here, the students were asked t use basic chemistry ideas t explain hw the increasing level f carbn dixide in sea water is affecting shell-building marine animals such as crals, clams and ysters.
Overall, the students felt cnfident f their chemistry knwledge. Hwever, they had a harder time applying the same chemistry knwledge t explaining the bilgical phenmena. These findings highlight that a big gap remains between what students learn in their science curses and hw well prepared they are t apply that infrmatin.
The students in ur study als reprted that these activities helped them see links between the tw disciplines that they wuldn't have perceived therwise. The ability t make these cnnectins is imprtant beynd the classrm as well, because it's the basis f science literacy(科学素养). S we als came away with evidence that ur chemistry students at least wuld like t have the ability t have a deeper understanding f science and hw t apply it.
32. What des the existing science educatin fail t d accrding t the research?
A. Extend students’ theretical knwledge.
B. Engage students in mre utdr activities.
C. Encurage students t enjy the learning prcess.
D. Teach students t make cnnectins amng different subjects.
33. What can we learn abut the student interviewees in the first step f study?
A. They have rich academic knwledge. B. They pay little attentin t bilgy curses.
C. They hardly identify the cre ideas f science. D. They fully understand their majr's imprtance.
34. The activity abut cean acidificatin expects students t .
A. analyse the exact cmpsitin f sea water
B. study sme unusual phenmena under the sea
C. cme up with practical methds t prtect sea life
D. explain the effects f carbn dixide n sea creatures
35. What des the authr see frm the result f the study accrding t the last paragraph?
A. The need t remve the unfairness in educatin.
B. The difficulties f fstering crss-disciplinary abilities.
C. The ptential t prmte students’ science literacy.
D. The methd f increasing students' practical skills.

Life isn't fair. Sme peple just seem blessed with the ability t effrtlessly charm anyne they meet. Well, it might seem like a magical pwer, but in fact there are a number f factrs at wrk. 36 Th e answer is: t a large extent, yes yu can.
But first, the bad news. Peple initially judge each ther based purely n physical appearance. With just a glimpse f a face, peple make snap judgments abut each ther's likeability, trustwrthiness and cnfidence. Hw shuld we deal with this? 37 Peple perceive a smiling face as mre trustwrthy, warmer and sciable. It sunds like cmmn sense, desn't it? Smile and thers will smile with yu.
What ther tricks might we have? 38 Cnsequently, three things we can d t signal that we are nt a threat are t: raise ur eyebrws quickly, tilt( 仰起) ur heads slightly, and nce again, t smile.
S we've lked at bdy language, but f curse what yu say is hugely imprtant t, unless yu want t just stand there grinning flishly. The glden rule f friendship is if yu make peple feel gd abut themselves, they’re ging t like yu. In ther wrds, yu shuld nt talk abut yurself and all yur wnderful achievements.39
Finally, finding cmmn grund is gd t frm a cnnectin. Charming peple are particularly skilled at seeking ut shared interests r experiences t bnd with thers. Simple things like asking where smene's frm really can pen up a discussin and allw yu t find areas in cmmn. And if all else fails, yu can fall back n that mst British f tpics: the weather. 40
A. It can be a nice start f a cnversatin.
B. Instead, yu need t shw interest in them.
C. There's ne incredibly simple tl: yur smile.
D. S, can yu learn t develp superhuman charm?
E. What gd tricks can we emply t becme charming?
F. Shared interests are the key t making cnnectins with thers.
G. Our brains ften survey the envirnment fr friend r enemy signals.

One Pssible Versin:
Suddenly, she started crying. Panicking at first, I then realized it was just a passing car. Hwever, she felt uneasy—her muth wide pen, arms waving, and legs kicking. Thinking she might be scared t, I held ut my hand, patting her n the back with the ther. I even mved a bit clser t her little bed, whispering my favrite sng int her ears, just as my mum did when I gt scared. Surprisingly, she seemed t understand me and stpped crying. Lking int her big eyes, I breathed a sigh f relief.
