Creighton is no stranger to the media. He was the face of a TV series, which remains popular for its behind-the scenes look at the ups and downs of zo0 life. He was often stopped on the street, and is regularly called “the man from the zoo”.
Creighton's father and his brother also worked at Dublin Zoo.“I don't ever remember not being in the zoo,”he said.
Creighton 's passion for animal welfare is clear, and not something that has reduced over the years- for him, or his father. Just a few hours earlier he was at the vet's with his father where their 15-year-old German shepherd had to be put to sleep.“For any zookeeper, losing an animal is like losing a part of yourself," said Creighton. He has been present for the euthanasia of an old lion, which reduced many zookeepers there to tears. He was present for the death of a chimpanzee in her 50s who both Creighton and his father had cared for over the years. He also described the death of a rhino， which escaped from a transport container in 1996，as something gut-wrenching.
In January 2021， he left Dublin Zoo and started his own consultancy agency, Global Elephant Care. He is working on developing elephant care and enclosures ( 围场) in France, the UK, the US，Israel, Australia and the United Arab Emirates，where elephants will have air conditioning to save them from the 50-degree heat. He is also working on projects to manage the gradual release of elephants back into the wild, but nevertheless talks straightly about their situation. There are about 40,000 Asian elephants left in the world. In an hour, there will probably be five or six African elephants killed for their ivory.
Despite the cruel reality for elephants around the world, with increasing human encroachment(侵占) on their natural habitat, Creighton faces it with a smile.
24. Why is Creighton familiar to media
A. He was involved in a TV program. B. He filmed a documentary on the people.
C. He posted his work life in the zoo online. D. He was the zookeeper of the popular zoo.
25. What does the underlined word“gut-wrenching”in paragraph 3 mean
A. Too proud. B. Greatly cheerful. C. Quite helpless. D. Extremely upset.
26. What is Creighton's purpose of establishing Global Elephant Care
A. To raise money to help elephants. B. To guarantee the elephants' welfare.
C. To manage the elephants in the wild. D. To improve elephants' living conditions.
27. What can be used to describe Creighton
A. Efficient and just. B. Sociable and loyal.
C. Caring and optimistic. D. Sensitive and mean.

A new study by researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and the University of Victoria has shown that common levels of traffic pollution can damage human brain function in
only a matter of hours.
“For many decades， scientists thought the brain may be protected from the harmful effects of air pollution," said senior study author Dr. Chris Carlsten. “This study, which is the first of its kind in the world, provides fresh evidence supporting a connection between air pollution and cognition.
For the study, the researchers briefly exposed 25 healthy adults to diesel exhaust (柴油废气) and filtered air at different times in a laboratory setting. Brain activity was measured before and after each exposure using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
The researchers analyzed changes in the brain' s default mode network (DMN)，a set of inter-connected brain regions that play an important role in memory and internal thought. The fMRI revealed that participants had decreased functional connectivity in widespread regions of the DMN after exposure to diesel exhaust, compared to filtered air.
“We know that altered functional connectivity in the DMN has been associated with reduced cognitive performance and symptoms of depression，so it s concerning to see traffic pollution interrupting these same networks,”said Dr. Jodie Gawryluk, a psychology professor at the University of Victoria and the study's first author. “ While more research is needed to fully understand the functional impacts of these changes, it's possible that they may impair (损害) people' s thinking or ability to work.”
Notably, the changes in the brain were temporary and participants' connectivity returned to normal after the exposure. Dr. Carlsten assumed that the effects could be long lasting where exposure is continuous. He said that people should be mindful of the air they re breathing and take
appropriate steps to minimize their exposure to potentially harmful air pollutants like car exhaust.
28. How does traffic pollution affect people according to the study
A. Exhausting their body. B. Decreasing their income.
C. Endangering their safety. D. Harming their brain function.
29. What may the DMN be responsible for
A. Growth. B. Sport. C. Memory. D. Behaviour.
30. What can people do to reduce the impact according to Dr. Carlsten
A. Avoid being exposed to the polluted air constantly.
B. Be mindful of the air quality in a new city.
C. Measure the brain activity in laboratories.
D. Stay inside a house as often as possible.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. A Role Of Brain Will Be Ruined
B. Traffic Pollution May Impair Brain Function
C. A Famous UK University Did A Vital Study
D. A Source Of Pollution Has Drawn People's Attention
D
In recent years， studies have suggested how the bisphenol A ( BPA) in some food-packaging plastics has been linked to various health problems including heart disease and developmental difficulties in children. Scientists are thus developing a more harmless alternative, and it s made from tomato waste which would otherwise be got rid of.
However，BPA is still widely used in the plastic coatings which are applied to the inside of metal food packaging such as cans. These smooth waterproof coatings help protect the metal from corrosion (腐蚀)，plus they keep the food from sticking to the inside of the container.
Building on previous studies, an international team has researched a type of agricultural waste known as tomato pomace. This material typically consists of tomato skins, seeds and stems, which are left over after the fruits have been processed for use in foods such as sauces or juices. Ordinarily, the pomace is simply dumped in a landfill, burned, or at best composted. It may also be used in animal feed, although it doesn't have much nutritional value,
The scientists started by drying tomato pomace-first in the sun for three days, then in a 60°C oven for 16 hours- -after which they grounded it into a powder. That powder was subsequently mixed with a sodium hydroxide solution (溶液)，which was then heated at 100 °C for four hours. After repeatedly filtering that solution to remove the sodium hydroxide, the researchers were left a lipid. That lipid was then mixed into an ethyl alcohol solution which was sprayed onto samples of some metal. Once the spray had dried and the samples had been heated in a 200 °C oven for 10 to 60 minutes，the result was a polymerized lacquer coating which proved to be very effective at protecting the metal.
The scientists now plan on testing the coating on actual cans. “We would take tomato sauce, and other foods that are usually sold in cans, and we would sterilize them, put them in tins and check if they withstand real conditions," said a scientist,
32. Which of the following is the most likely to use the plastic coating
A. A pot full of water. B. A cup filled with coffee.
C. A tin containing apple juice. D. An iron box stuffed with packaged food.
33. What do we know about tomato pomace
A. It's used as animal's food with rich nutrition. B. It has been used in the plastic coatings.
C. People use it to make sauce or juice. D. People usually treat it in many ways.
34. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4
A. How the new coating is created. B. Why heating is important.
C. Why high temperature is needed. D. What other materials are included.
35. What is the purpose of the text
A. To present a scientific study. B. To introduce a new material.
C. To show a complex process. D. To teach an actual test.

Cultivating (培养) gratitude requires effort and a commitment to change. The following exercises can help you take on a grateful outlook.
Practice mindfulness
36 Tap into your senses and let your mind linger (逗留) on pleasant, everyday sensations. Focus on the taste of a ripe strawberry, for example, the feeling of the sun on your skin, or the gentle sound of background music.' This can help ground you in the present, pulling you away from worrying.
Keep a gratitude journal
There are many ways to create a gratitude journal. First， decide if you want to keep a physical journal that you write in or a digital list on your phone or computer. 37 You can update the journal on a weekly basis, ending the week by putting down three or four moments that you appreciated.
38
Build relationships by writing thank-you letters to people in your life. Go into detail about treasured memories from your relationship. Write about the positive effect they've had on your life. When you're done，you can mail or deliver the letters in person.
Revisit and reframe past events
Most of us can recall past events that we regret. 39 Although they may have led to disappointment, shame or even heartbreak, you’ve likely also learned something from these exper1ences.
While these gratitude exercises can give your mood and outlook a welcome boost, it can take time for them to impact your mental health and overall well-being. Be patient and continue practicing gratitude. Turn the exercises into little rituals. In time, you may notice your stress levels drop and relationships strengthen. 40

Using a three-dimensional (3-D) transmission electron microscopy technique, a group of Chinese scientists have discovered a new phenomenon in the deformation (变形) of nanometals,
which will help improve material design and engineering applications.
Huang Xiaoxu，a world-renowned scientist in the field of materials science, 56 (lead) a team at the College of Materials Science and Engineering of Chongqing University and its cooperators, created the world's first 3-D microscopy technique system 57 tracked the rotations of individual grains in a nanograined nickel before and after in situ nanomechanical testing.The testing enables the observation of how the materials respond to applied stress in 58
(they) native state, which is fundamental to understand their mechanical 59 (property), said the research.
They found that the nanosized grains sometimes experience lattice rotations different from the 60 ( theory) prediction. This unexpected lattice rotation occurs more often in the larger grains and is due to a phenomenon 61 (call) back stress， which generates the rotation.
Huang Xiaoxu's team 62 ( develop) 3-D microscopy techniques over the past 10 years. The microscopy is equipped 63 self-developed controlling hardware and software to enhance the efficiency of image collection and processing.
“In the past, with conventional microscopy, scientists could only observe the material deformation in a two-dimensional way, 64 often led to incomplete or even misleading results,”said Huang.“Now we can 65 (eventual) observe the deformation in 3-D, and our first finding using the technique.”

Thanksgiving Day came. I searched our cupboards for food and there, wasn't much. I started, slamming doors as I looked through the cabinets for a can of food we might have missed. The more I searched, the angrier I became. The noise must have woken my mom, because she came to the kitchen wrapped in a blanket. She. looked worried at me and asked, “Baby, what's wrong.”I retorted,“I'm hungry. I'm freezing to death in our own house." I wasn't angry at her. I was angry at our situation.
She opened her arms toward me and said, “Come here. Right now. things are hard, but hope is always there. Whatever difficulties we meet，we should be strong. All you have to do is have faith. Why not believe we can be better by using our own hands.”
