1、Several days ago, I, an intern (实习医生), had got a break for one hour from my surgery. For a few stuff to1 about, I decided to meet my mentor.
When passing by the hall, I saw many people2 up before a counter. A man sitting away3 called out, and immediately a woman in the line stepped out. Unfortunately, when she went back, her place was already4 by others. I saw disappointment and worry on her face. I went to her and asked what had happened. The concerned woman5 that her father was severely painful and no one was with him while she was doing the formality(手续). Learning that, I offered to help and the old man was finally6 to hospital.
7, I was late for the meeting and got harshly scolded by my mentor. I came out in a terrible8 when I heard a female voice from the back." Doctor?" The woman I helped came to me with a radiation of9 on her face. I could see the pleasure10 in her words. But she11 my frustration and insisted on asking me the reason. I had to tell her the12. Then she quickly dragged me to the discussion room and told the mentor everything. We all came out with a13 smile.
Sometimes these small things which we do for others14 a lot for both sides. In this busy daily life our time we spent for others doesn't affect our schedules much but it acts like a glue which15 the broken faith.

2、In a world surrounded by bad news, it may feel like an unhappy place sometimes. If you make even one person smile today, you can help make this world a better place. Here is a list of ideas to help you.
In this day and age where everything is sent via the Internet, it's a shock to receive a letter through the post. Putting pen to paper and writing a few words to a friend can be an easy way to make a positive impact.
Requiring some time and research to find the perfect project, volunteering is one of the nicest things you can do. Whether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from shelters for a walk, the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is incredible. There are so many opportunities for you to do volunteering work.
Tell someone "I love you." And you don't even have to say "I love you." Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you, or remind your mum that it's her birthday. Sometimes, in our busy lives we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us.
Whether you' re creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate them. Even if you think you' re not creative, the recipient will feel lucky to get such a unique gift that you put your precious time into. Some ideas could include a card, painting, drawing, song, poem or cake!
A. It can be anyone.
B. However, you can make a difference.
C. It's a surprise to send a handwritten letter.
D. So you are sure to find one that is right for you.
E. And it doesn't necessarily have to take up all your life.
F. Making something for a special person is always unique.
G. Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really make someone's day.

3、A smoke bomb from a party started a major blaze (火焰) near Los Angeles in September,just one of many recent wildfires ignited (引燃) by people. Now, an analysis of satellite data shows human-caused blazes spread much faster and kill more trees than ones ignited by lightning.
Fire has always been a part of California's natural history. But several centuries of human settlement have created new conditions that promote its spread.Studies have shown human ignition is to blame for 84% of all wildfires in the United States,and 97% of all those that threaten homes.
Human-caused fires always seemed more extreme, says Stijn Hantson,a fire ecologist at the University of California,Irvine,who led the new research. But measurements of how fast they spread and their impacts on ecosystems (生态系统) in California had not been explored, he notes.
To examine those differences, Hantson and his colleagues analyzed satellite data for 214 wildfires in California between 2012 and 2018.Human-caused fires typically spread about 1.83 kilometers per day, more than twice as fast as lightning-ignited burns,the team reports.The faster spreading fires also burned more violently and killed "double or triple" the trees as lightning-caused ones.
However, there is no fundamental difference in the chemistry of a human-caused blaze. "A fire is a fire" Hantson says. "It's the surrounding things that matter." Causes of fires ranging from improperly thrown cigarettes to sparking (冒火花) power lines could ignite a blaze on any given day, he says, while lightning strikes and dry thunderstorms only happen seasonally.
The researchers tracked meteorological data and found that human-caused fires were more likely to start on days with extreme weather conditions,and were more associated with drier,less-forested landscapes. This adds to scientists' understanding of how humans are extending the fire season, says Nathan Mietkiewicz, an ecologist with the National Ecological Observation Network.
(1)、The author uses some data in paragraph 2 to show that ________.A、wildfires are mostly caused by humans B、most wildfires threaten people's homes C、wildfire is a part of California's natural history D、wildfires break out frequently in the United States(2)、What's the purpose of Hantson's research?A、To prove how extreme human-caused fires are. B、To find out the causes and solutions of wildfires. C、To explore the speed and effects of wildfires caused by humans. D、To examine the differences between a human-caused blaze and a nature-caused one.(3)、How is the result presented in paragraph 4?A、By giving examples. B、By making comparisons. C、By analyzing cause and effect. D、By giving definitions.(4)、What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A、Human-caused fires and lightning-caused fires are basically different. B、Lightning strikes and thunderstorms can always lead to wildfires. C、Wildfires only happen in dry,less-forested areas. D、Humans are to blame for the extended fire season. -
4、A recent study in Japan has revealed that a wearable soft robot, named Relicbo, can improve the experience of patients in medical treatments, such as injections(注射)and other unpleasant therapies. The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against anxiety. The study, led by researchers at the University of Tsukuba, was inspired in part by the numerous needles people had to endure while being vaccinated(接种疫苗)against COVID-19. Some people felt an intense dislike for these needles, which led to fewer people getting vaccinated.
The robot is soft and covered in fur. It contains small airbags internally that inflate(膨胀)in response to hand movement. Participants in the study who wore the robot while subjected to a medium heat stimulation, experienced less pain in the test than those who did not wear the robot. The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced sharply bylessening the experience of pain through using the robot.
The research team checked the effectiveness of the wearable robot while being handled by participants under certain conditions, based on the clenching of the hand. The team placed painful heat stimulation on the other arm that was not holding the robot. They then measured cortisol levels from the participants' saliva samples, suggesting levels of stress hormones. The pain felt by the patients was given specific ratings and was also recorded using an assessment scale. The people in the study were given a survey test to assess their fear of injections before and after the experiment with the wearable robot was completed.
The study proved that holding the robot can case the experience of patients who were receiving injections. The research team hopes to use this study to advance the robot for use during painful situations, such as getting medical shots or similar conditions.
(1)、What is the function of the robot?A、To assist doctors in injecting accurately. B、To help relieve people's pain from injections. C、To evaluate patients' physical and mental health. D、To assess the effects of getting vaccinated against COVID-19.(2)、What does the underlined word "lessening" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A、Detecting. B、Increasing. C、Recording. D、Decreasing.(3)、What is the third paragraph mainly about?A、Methods of testing the effectiveness of the robot. B、Reasons for conducting the experiment on the robot. C、The advantages of the new robot in the medical field. D、The process of reducing people's fear of injections.(4)、What will researchers probably do next?A、Evaluate the risk of the robot. B、Develop other devices for medical treatment. C、Promote the application of the robot. D、Carry out more tests on the robot. -
5、"When I was young, I told my mother that I would go to China to learn kung fu one day. She didn't believe it at the time. When I got there, I immediately called her and said, ‘Mom, guess where I am. I'm at the Shaolin Temple!'," says Max Yollando, a young man from Coted'Ivoire, sharing hisattachment for Chinese culture.
Yollando is also known as Yanming, the Chinese name he was given by his teacher at the Shaolin Temple, where the "Shaolin kung fu" was born, and which today is like a magnet (磁铁) for fans from all over the world.
At the time, Yollando was a student at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny University in Abidjan. Motivated by his passion for Chinese culture, he signed up at the Confucius Institute to study Chinese. In late 2016, he had the opportunity to visit the temple in Henan Province on a three-month exchange. This experience defined his close relationship with traditional Chinese culture.
After returning to Cote d'Ivoire, Yollando continued to practice Chinese and study traditional Chinese culture. In July 2017, he returned to the Shaolin Temple again and remained there for six years. His years at the temple reading, exercising, practicing kung fu and meditation (冥想) greatly changed him, and allowed him to better understand and appreciate traditional Chinese culture.
He says the most impressive things he noticed that rooted in Chinese culture are the love of work, respect and recognition. At the end of 2022, when he completed his studies at the temple, he began working at a Shaolin cultural center in Zambia. The first of its kind in Africa, the center is home to 30 orphans (孤儿), who are taught Chinese language and traditional Chinese culture, including kung fu, as part of the course.
For Yollando, the purpose of studying Chinese culture was to be able to return to Africa to introduce Chinese values to his compatriots (同胞). "The culture fascinated me because in China, people make an effort to work better, and they are very respectful and grateful to their family and country," he says.
(1)、Which can replace the underlined word "attachment" in paragraph 1?A、Confusion. B、Disappointment. C、Affection. D、Investigation.(2)、What made Yollando truly related to traditional Chinese culture?A、Learning Chinese at the Confucius Institute. B、Visiting the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province. C、Reading traditional Chinese culture books. D、Working at a Shaolin cultural center.(3)、Which of the following can best describe Yollando?A、Brave. B、Determined. C、Humorous. D、Organized.(4)、What can we learn about the Shaolin cultural center in Zambia?A、Its courses are all about Chinese culture. B、It was funded by the Shaolin Temple. C、It is an official authorized agency. D、It is a charity. -

So, what made Stephen Hawking a great genius? , he was brave, though sometimes careless in what he said or did. ... Above all, Hawking was willing to. This odd combination of characteristics had made him one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Now half way through her exchange year, Xie Lei feels much more in the UK. What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to her. "Engaging in British culture has helped," she said. "As well as studying hard, I've in social activities... While I'm learning about business, I'm also acting as building a bridge between us."
