61-year-old farmer, Cliff Young showed up to the most grueling (艰辛的) footrace in Australia-875 kilometers-in overalls and gumboots (橡胶靴). He went on to win in record time without any training, beating out best athletes.
Back in 1983, the Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon, which began and ended randomly in mall parking lots, had never been completed in less than seven days. But the world’s best runners showed up to prove their courage.
As the race began, the runners left Cliff in the dust. Many spectators must have thought Cliff was a promotion for the race who would soon drop out. But when other racers paused to get some sleep before the next grueling day, Cliff kept on, making up distance on the leaders. He reflected on herding sheep to new grassland, a task that took three straight days and nights. He kept himself sharp by imagining he was moving sheep ahead of a storm.
Cliff finished the race in five days, 11 hours, a full two days faster than the previous record. He was an instant celebrity. Not only did he himself run so far with so little experience and sleep, but he also split the prize money with the race’s top runners. He said he didn’t know there was prize money and felt bad accepting it. “Those other runners worked as hard as I did,” he explained.
Today, a memorial in the shape of a gumboot stands in the Beech Forest where Cliff grew up. In later long-distance races, professional runners adopted Cliff’s energy-saving way of walking. But what Cliff Young will be remembered for most was his big heart. The locals remember him as bonzer, the Aussie slang word for excellent.
Cliff Young never ran for fame or money. He simply wanted to see how well he could do. For all of us, doing our best is what our life story is all about.
24. How did people feel after Cliff won the race
A. Surprised. B. Curious. C. Concerned. D. Nervous.
25. What is the previous record of 875-kilometer race
A. Five days and 11 hours. B. Six days and 7 hours.
C. Seven days and 11 hours. D. Eight days and 10 hours.
26. Which of the following can show Cliff’s big heart
A. Cliff ran for money to help the needy. B. Cliff made a living by feeding sheep.
C. Cliff had courage to challenge other runners. D. Cliff shared the prize money with top runners.
27. What does the underlined word “bonzer” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Very brave. B. Extremely good. C. Specially adventurous. D. More than creative.
C
A herd of life-sized elephant sculptures is making its way across America to promote coexistence between humans and animals. Called the Great Elephant Migration, the traveling exhibition features 100 replicas (仿制品) of real-life Indian elephants made by roughly 200 artists in southern India.
The first public appearance of the artworks was in London in 2021, and some of the sculptures are now permanently on display in the gardens of two royal family residences. After making a stop in India earlier this year, they’ve now made it across the Atlantic.
The herd is spending the summer in Newport, Rhode Island, before moving on to New York City’s Meatpacking District in the fall. From there, it will head to Florida, Montana and California.
Organizers hope the exhibition serves as a reminder that humans must learn to coexist with wild animals. This idea is especially important since human activities-including climate change and development-are primarily responsible for animals’ habitat loss.
The large sculptures are made of lantana camara, an invasive tropical bush that’s crowding elephants out of their natural habitats in India. As the weed outcompetes the plants that elephants like to eat, they’re heading into human-developed lands, like coffee and tea plantations.
Even so, people mostly live in harmony with elephants in India, even as the populations of both species have grown. India’s human population is now 1.4 billion, while the number of elephants stands at 25,000 to 30,000.
Artists from different communities in India crafted the sculptures based on elephants they know personally. Recognizing that animals have their own distinct personalities is “vitally important for the coexistence movement,” says researcher and conservationist Tarsh Thekaekara in the statement. “Individual animals may cause damage or pose a threat to humans, but not an entire species,” he adds.
28. Why does the traveling exhibition take place
A. To promote cross-cultural communication. B. To show the beauty of elephant sculptures.
C. To educate people to protect the environment.
D. To encourage humans to coexist with animals.
29. Where are the elephant sculptures on display in summer
A. In London. B. In Newport. C. In New York. D. In Florida.
30. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. Wild animals threaten human’s survival and life.
B. The artists in India are merely interested in elephants.
C. Knowing the personalities of animals helps coexist with them.
D. The elephant sculptures are crafted based on those in the zoos.
31. What’s the main idea of the text
A. The Great Elephant Migration is on the way.
B. Wild animals live in harmony with the Indians.
C. Many life-size elephant sculptures are crafted by Indian artists.
D. A flock of life-size elephant sculptures is marching across America.
D
New York (CNN) -OpenAI is worried that people might start to rely on ChatGPT too much for companionship, potentially leading to “dependence”, because of its new human-sounding voice mode.
ChatGPT’s advanced voice mode sounds remarkably lifelike. It responds in real time, can adjust to being interrupted, and makes the kinds of noises that humans make during conversations like laughing or “hmms”. It can also judge a speaker’s emotional state based on their tone of voice.
Within minutes of OpenAI announcing the feature at an event earlier this year, it was being compared to the AI digital assistant in the 2013 film Her, with whom the main character falls in love, only to be left heartbroken when the AI admits “she” also has relationships with hundreds of other users.
Now, OpenAI is apparently concerned that fictional story is a little too close to becoming reality, after it says it observed users talking to ChatGPT’s voice mode in language “expressing shared bonds” with the tool.
“Eventually, users might form social relationships with the AI, reducing their need for human interaction-potentially benefiting lonely individuals but possibly affecting healthy relationships,” the report states. It adds that hearing information from a bot (机器人程序) that sounds like a human could lead users to trust the tool more than they should, given AI’s tendency to get things wrong.
Some people are already forming what they describe as dependent relationships with AI chatbots, causing concern from relationship experts.
OpenAI said that human users’ interactions with ChatGPT’s voice mode could also, over time, influence what’s considered normal in social interactions.
For now, OpenAI says it’s committed to building Al “safely”, and plans to continue studying the potential for “emotional reliance” by users on its tools.
32. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT’s voice mode
A. Its features. B. Its appearance. C. Its different voice tones. D. Its emotional states.
33. Why is the 2013 film Her mentioned
A. To test ChatGPT’s voice mode. B. To show the concern of OpenAI.
C. To share the content of the film. D. To indicate AI can hurt people.
34. According to the report, what aspect might AI have impact on
A. Social practice. B. Interpersonal interaction. C. Outdoor activities. D. Electronic products.
35. What do relationship experts express concern over
A. AI’s tendency for giving wrong information.
B. The positive influence that AI chatbots have on users.
C. Dependent relationships between people and AI chatbots.
D. The safety of the communication between AI chatbots and people.

Have you ever woken up at midnight with upsetting thoughts Maybe you argued with your partner. Perhaps you are worrying about an interview. These are common in our life. But they can make it hard to see reality as it is. 36 And thus we may lose sleep and have trouble concentrating. The following methods are helpful.
37 This method has the benefit of revealing the temporary nature of your thoughts. It can also help to make it easier to let them go. There are many mindfulness practices that might help with this. For example, a simple breath meditation may do the trick. Thoughts can still come into your head as you practice this.
Try to move preferably outside. Physical exercise can be helpful. 38 Walking in the woods can reduce rumination (沉思) more than walking along a road for the same amount of time. If we go out walking, it may help to keep our attention on our surroundings and prevent troubling thoughts from cropping up.
Stop feeding the fire and redirect your attention. If we’re ruminating over things, we may need to focus on better things. We can take a break from social media and practice gratitude for the good in our lives. We can also take action with like-minded people. 39
Talk to a trusted person or maybe a therapist. We can turn to others for help. Whether they do it with humor or by offering wisdom, sometimes getting an outsider’s perspective can help us a lot. 40 If we don’t have such kind of people, seeing a therapist might be our best option.
A. Push away our negative thoughts.
B. Learn to practice mindful awareness.
C. Being outside in nature is one of the best ways.
D. They will keep us locked into negative thinking patterns.
E. We need to give ourselves some space and not assume the worst.
F. These can help reduce our worry while pointing us in a right direction.
G. We should try to find the right person who can listen well and offer empathy.

I went to my adviser and decided to create 3D-printed lab 42 out of our waste. But the process of making these tools didn’t go smoothly. After months of 43 , I felt worried about my dream.
It was a 44 when my colleagues were eager to join us. We created a group devoted to 45 other greener ways. We began meeting every month to discuss some 46 . We introduced new recycling bins to each lab after learning that some waste could be recycled if it was sorted 47 . And we also tracked the energy consumption of lab equipment. By doing these, we could create 48 on how to use each device.
Our most energy-hungry devices were the ultra-low-temperature freezers, which caused much trouble. So, we started to 49 it, asking labs to remove samples that were not 50 anymore and make the most of the remaining ones. Through those 51 , we managed to increase the temperature of several freezers after realizing some samples didn’t have to be stored so 52 .
I’m still disappointed that I couldn’t 53 my 3D-printing dream, and I’m determined enough to keep trying. I’ve also learned that if one 54 isn’t working, sometimes it’s best to take a step back and look for other solutions. I’m 55 that with my colleagues’ help, we were able to do that

On a summer morning, Kate found herself hurrying to catch a flight from London to Paris for an important business meeting. However, unexpected traffic delayed her arrival at the airport, leaving her with only minutes to spare before boarding.
Anxious to catch her flight, Kate approached the first taxi in line. “Heathrow Airport, Terminal 5, please,” she claimed as she jumped into the back seat. The driver, a middle-aged man named Tom, nodded and pulled away. As they sped through the streets, Kate couldn’t shake off her nerves. “Are we going to make it in time ” she asked anxiously. Tom took a quick look at her through the rearview mirror (后视镜) with a smile. “Don’t worry, Ma’am. I know a shortcut that should get us there just in time,” he replied calmly. However, Kate couldn’t help but feel a knot of worry tighten in her stomach. She had to catch this flight. The success of the entire project depended on her presence at the meeting.
Arriving at the airport, Tom drove skillfully and stopped right in front of the departure gate for Terminal 5. “Here we are,” he announced with pride. In relief but in a rush, Kate took out her wallet and paid the fare. But then she had some difficulty unfastening the seat-belt. It was stuck. Panic began to rise within Kate. She couldn’t afford to waste an extra minute. She pressed the button and dragged the belt again and again, but it didn’t work. Just as Kate was about to lose her temper, the taxi driver Tom realized what was happening. He quickly got off the car and helped Kate unfasten the belt. “I’m so sorry,” Tom apologized. Kate got off the taxi and hurriedly ran towards the terminal.

Good morning, everyone. Before going through the meaningful book Tuesdays with Morrie, let’s start with its creator-Mitch Albom.
Originally, he was a pianist and wanted to pursue a life as a musician. However, he became an inspiration around the world as a columnist and sports reporter. His books have sold over 35 million copies and have been translated into over 40 languages so far. While nationally recognized for his sports writing, Albom is perhaps best known for the themes of hope and kindness described in his books, plays, and films.
His book, Tuesdays with Morrie, became an international phenomenon with over 14 million copies sold. The book remains one of the best-selling memoirs of all time, and was adapted into an Emmy Award-winning TV movie.
Albom has founded 10 charities, including nine in the Detroit area, such as S. A. Y. Detroit, which operates a family health clinic； A Time to Help, a volunteer organization； and A Hole in the Roof Foundation, which repairs homeless shelters. He also directs other charity organizations aiming to help poor children and homeless kids. In his talks and presentations, he brings the same inspiring message of community building, giving, and purpose.

One possible version:
Dear Jim,
I have just participated in an forum on the theme of “Have a More Peaceful World”. I’m writing to share my experience with you.
I first made a specific explanation for the advantages of owning a peaceful world. Then I focused my topic on what we can do to keep the whole world peaceful. After finishing my statement, I answered some questions raised by participants. Undoubtedly, not only did this forum enrich my knowledge and broaden my horizons, but it also inspired me to study much harder to make contributions to keeping the world more peaceful.
Yours,
Li Hua
One possible version:
“Ma’am, your wallet!” Tom was shouting loudly. Kate froze, realizing she had left her wallet on the seat. She turned around and saw Tom running up to her, holding her wallet out to her. Kate was in such a hurry that she grabbed her wallet without saying “Thank you” to Tom. She rushed towards the terminal, leaving Tom standing still there. With Tom’s help, Kate managed to board her flight just in time. Only then did Kate feel an urge to thank Tom.
When returning to London, Kate went to Tom’s taxi company. She was grateful for his help in getting her to the airport in time. And more importantly, Tom gave back her wallet. In it there was her passport, identity card and some cash, without which she could not have got on board, not to mention participating in the conference in Paris. Unfortunately. Tom was at work when Kate arrived at the taxi company. To express her appreciation, Kate left a box of chocolates and a thank-you note for Tom, which read, “Your kindness makes the world a better place. Thank you.”
