Living Water: Poetry, Art and the Fight for Clean Rivers
“Without living water, we die.” These powerful words from Anglo-Irish artist Barrie Cooke reflect his alarm at the growing pollution of the Irish rivers and lakes he loved. A leading expressionist painter, Cooke drew inspiration from the natural world and from his friendships with major 20th-century poets, including Seamus Heaney, Ted Hughes and John Montague.
This exhibition (展览) uncovers a collection of letters, manuscripts (手稿) and artworks that offers fresh insights into the creative exchanges between these poets and artists across over 50 years. At its heart lies the shared landscape that inspired them — the rivers that became both artistic touchstones and warnings of environmental decline.
Living Water also brings together art and poetry to explore the worsening pollution that reshaped the waterways of Britain, Ireland and beyond. In the North and South Galleries, visitors can see works by the celebrated artist Susan Derges. Inspired by the rivers and landscape of Devon, Derges tracks the presence and flow of water. Her human-sized images capture the flow of water, light, and nature, inviting visitors to reflect on their connection to the environment while reading a poem.
The exhibition will also include events discussing the challenges of water health and environmental protection. These events are free and open to all. Please sign up for our What’s On mailing list for more information. Event bookings will open next month.

When computer network came into existence, it was extremely difficult to use. To read an online story, for example, you would need to know which network-equipped computer had the story you wanted and then connect your machine to the computer directly.
But on April 30, 1993, that all changed thanks to the invention of the World Wide Web. Since then, users just need to type in an address. More importantly, anyone can build their own “website”.
The World Wide Web was the brainchild of Tim Berners-Lee, a 37-year-old researcher at CERN, a physics lab in Switzerland. But Berners-Lee thought that keeping the technology as open as possible to the public would help it grow.
The decision led to a rapid growth of internet users. By the end of 1995, more than 24 million people in the US and Canada alone spent an average of 5 hours per week on the internet.
It’s hard not to wonder what life would look like today if Berners-Lee hadn’t decided to give away the invention. In a 1999 interview, Berners-Lee was asked why he never cashed in.
“Your question suggests that you just measure people’s value by their net worth,” he responded. “People are what they’ve done and what they stand for, rather than what they happen to have in the bank.”
Since the World Wide Web went public, it’s totally changed how we communicate, gather, work and learn. However, it’s also expanded the reach of disinformation. Berners-Lee even predicted (预见) this problem decades ago.
“I don’t mind there being false information out there,” he said in the same interview. “The important thing is that users should know that the webpages they see are written by people. In a way, the internet is a reflection of the real world. Users should learn to know whether they’re looking at disinformation or not.”
4. Why did Berners-Lee give away his invention
A．He didn’t know it was valuable.
B．He had too much money in the bank.
C．He was under pressure to do so.
D．He probably wanted to popularize it.
5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The side effects of the internet.
B．The protest from the public.
C．The significance of the decision.
D．The advantages of the internet.
6. What did Berners-Lee suggest about the online disinformation
A．It was unavoidable.
B．It was totally unacceptable.
C．It should be stopped.
D．It could be easily recognized.
7. Which of the following best describes Berners-Lee
A．Ungrateful.
B．Generous.
C．Humorous.
D．Irresponsible.
C
Since Born to Run, a book about long-distance barefoot runners in Mexico, was published in 2009, walking barefoot has gained popularity around the world, again. Over the years, a growing number of studies continues to show that going barefoot can increase foot strength, improve balance and reduce risk of falls.
A recent study, which focuses on improving the design of modern footwear, has even found that our shoes have affected our movements and even changed the structure of our feet. “For example, most shoes have a quite narrow toe box,” it writes. “It means our toes are pressed together and we can’t use our feet naturally. This may contribute to poor balance and even arch collapse (扁平足) over time.”
While those studies about the barefoot movement are promising, don’t throw out all of the shoes just yet, warn other researchers. They argue that switching (切换) to barefoot walking too quickly can be a recipe for injuries since our feet have adapted to them and have lost some of their strength. Plus, our feet are now very sensitive to anything but smooth, soft ground.
“That’s like having your arm in a cast (石膏) for years, ”says John Mercer, professor at the University of Nevada. “Then take it off, and the first thing you do is go out and play a game of tennis.”
Instead, Mercer recommends starting slow. “First, try walking around the house and outside on a soft surface. Then, go for a short walk around the block. Add a bit more distance each week,” he suggests. “Your feet will tell you when you’ve had enough. If you experience any sharp pain, stop.”
8. What does the new study most probably aim to do
A．Show the benefits of barefoot walking.
B．Warn the risk of walking without shoes.
C．Provide guidelines for barefoot walkers.
D．Study the problems of modern footwear.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “be a recipe for” in paragraph 3
A．Lead to.
B．Keep track of.
C．Take advantage of.
D．Get through.
10. What does John Mercer mean
A．We can protect our feet with a cast.
B．We must toughen up our feet gradually.
C．We should go for other exercises first.
D．We have to do warm-up exercises each time.
11. In which section of a newspaper will this text most probably appear
A．Literature.
B．Technology.
C．Sports.
D．Environment.
D
Fast-moving birds like goshawks can fly quickly through thick forests without hitting trees. They seem to avoid danger naturally while moving at high speed. However, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered that there is a speed limit. If birds or drones (无人机) go faster than this limit, a crash is unavoidable. The finding may help scientists design better unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by learning from how birds fly.
Most UAVs are currently designed to fly at relatively slow speed, allowing them to stop before reaching the edge of their field of view. You might think that adding more sensors would allow drones to fly faster and safer, but MIT aerospace engineer Emilio Frazzoli says otherwise.
Frazzoli and his team created a mathematical model that shows a bird or drone flying through crowded spaces, such as forests or cities, will always crash once it reaches a certain speed, no matter how much it knows about its surroundings.
The team believes that birds avoid this problem by judging the density (密度) of their environment and changing their speed accordingly, knowing that they can always find a gap to fly through. This allows a bird to fly much faster than if it just depends on the limits of its vision. Frazzoli says that skiers use a similar method.
“When you go skiing off the path, you don’t ski in a way that you can always stop before the first tree you see,” he says. “You ski and you see an opening, and then you trust that once you go there, you’ll be able to see another opening and keep going.”
Frazzoli is now working with biologists at Harvard University to confirm whether his model matches the behaviour of real birds. His team is also designing a flying video game to test how well humans can move through a virtual forest at high speed, to see how close players can get to the theoretical limit predicted (预测) by the model.
12. Why are most UAVs designed to fly at low speed at present
A．To stop safely within their view.
B．To avoid losing signals in forests.
C．To reduce damage from crashes.
D．To save power during long flights.
13. How are birds able to fly faster in dense forests
A．They can see blocks earlier than most machines.
B．They depend on sharper eyesight than machines.
C．They adjust speed based on the space around them.
D．They follow the fixed paths between towering trees.
14. Why does Frazzoli mention skiing in paragraph 5
A．To compare skiing skills with bird flight.
B．To describe dangers while skiing.
C．To present a popular sports event in winter.
D．To give an example of safe fast movement.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．Birds Teach Us How to Get a Sense of Direction
B．Speed Limit for Birds Could Mean Better UAVs
C．Advanced UAVs Will Come on the Market Soon
D．Flying Video Games Help Test Human Reactions

Practical Ways to Support Younger Students
A teacher recently emailed me the following question: “With older students, you can guide them to informational resources and they can learn independently. 16._______ ” This is a common and valuable question. But answering this question begins with considering the following tips.
· 17._______. Young children learn best when they can explore ideas in different ways, not just through reading. While reading aloud is helpful, videos, images, and hands-on activities also give children the chance to learn. For example, you could set up walks where children look at photos, listen to recordings or watch short videos related to their questions.
·Bring in experts (专家) and plan field trips. Meeting experts and visiting places outside the classroom are great ways to learn. Before a visit, have children think of questions to ask. During the visit, support their curiosity, and afterward, discuss what they learned. 18._______.
·Allow children to lead their own learning. Adults often follow their own interests, so we should let children do the same. 19._______. One way is to create a “Wonder Wall”, where children can write or tell you their questions. Set aside time during the day to review these questions. This shows that their ideas matter.
·Encourage group work. 20._______. When children work on the same topic or goal, learning together is more enjoyable and effective (有效的). Teachers can help by allowing time for small group work while others are working on independent tasks.
A．Why does it matter to them
B．Try different ways to explore ideas
C．Make the most of our school resources
D．Give children chances to learn alongside each other
E．These practices support thoughtful exploration of a topic
F．With my younger students, how can I guide them to study
G．Value children’s questions and let them explore what excites them

Since first grade, Leo had been regarded as a troublemaker — talking loudly in class, breaking the window glass and making fun of others. Leo’s mother had never received a positive phone call from school. For her, school calls had always meant bad news. Leo acted proud of his reputation, but deep down, he felt hurt. However, he had gotten used to being the one who always caused problems.
Starting fourth grade, he expected more of the same. So when his new teacher, Mrs. Anderson, greeted him with “I’ve heard about you”, Leo prepared for the usual warning. To his surprise, Mrs. Anderson smiled and said, “You’re the talented football player everyone’s talking about. I’d love your game schedule — I want to watch you play.” Leo’s worried expression disappeared, replaced by pride and joy. For the first time, an adult focused on something he was good at, not something he did wrong.
Mrs. Anderson had studied Leo before this talk. Knowing Leo already had a bad reputation, she had approached his old teachers and said, “I knew he was difficult... but what’s something good about him ” Finding out about his sports talent, she used that to connect with him. She went to his football games, cheered for him, and later praised his effort and teamwork when they talked alone.
In class, Mrs. Anderson deliberately “caught” him being good — helping pick up a book or focusing on a task — and praised him for it. Then, she took a courageous next step: She made a call to Leo’s mother.
Leo’s mother answered the phone with worry.

After that good news call, Leo tried to behave even better at school.

Leo’s mother answered the phone with worry. She held her breath, thinking there must be something wrong with Leo again. But Mrs. Anderson told her happily that Leo had made great progress recently. She praised Leo for his kindness, concentration in class and excellent performance in football. Hearing the words, Leo’s mother was shocked and moved, with tears welling up in her eyes.
After that good news call, Leo tried to behave even better at school. He no longer talked or made trouble in class. Instead, he listened carefully and actively helped classmates. He also kept working hard on football. Gradually, everyone saw his great changes. Leo finally became a polite, hard-working boy. He was so thankful to Mrs. Anderson for bringing light to his life.
