Ashu Jain, a 57-year-old Indian woman who once struggled as a homemaker with exhaustion and social expectations, has now become a social media star and fitness influencer, rewriting the narrative about ageing and motherhood.
Having spent her previous decades fulfilling traditional roles as a wife, mother and caregiver, Ashu faced the invisible weight of the common belief that her time for chasing dreams had long passed. But she wasn’t ready to fade into the background. “Mothers of my age reach a point where our responsibilities peak and our dreams take a back seat. My family had my back and I found the courage to reclaim mine,” shares Ashu.
At 44, she resolved to pick up her education. The decision wasn’t easy. Pursuing her studies meant making trade-offs-meals weren’t perfectly timed, the house looked lived-in, and exam dates conflicted with family plans. But the family adjusted and she managed to finish her PhD course.
Then came the health scare in March 2022 when she was 54. Her blood pressure shot up and the doctor suggested lifelong medication. “That moment was a wake-up call,” she recalls. “I didn’t want to submit to a dependent old age.” Determined to turn her condition around naturally, she opted for physical activities and joined a gym, a turning point in her life. “What truly astonished me was how much our bodies can change with right efforts and consistent self-care,” she said.
Today, her daily routine which reflects the discipline she’s well established begins at 4 a. m. with a refreshing glass of water, followed by a handful of nuts. Then it’s time for gym training, where she focuses on strength sessions and deadlifts. She alternates between yoga, running and walks throughout the week, ensuring a mix of activities.
Ashu launched her social media journey with occasional Instagram posts under @not.just.a.grandma. Her videos featuring workouts, recipes, and an active lifestyle quickly went viral, inspiring millions. Her advice to women is, “Don’t stop just because you are ageing. You can redefine what it means to age with purpose, strength and joy.”
24. What was the attitude of Ashu’s family toward her going for her dream
A．Favourable. B．Critical. C．Dismissive. D．Doubtful.
25. What did Ashu give up to obtain her PhD
A．Her physical well-being. B．An orderly household routine.
C．Family union and stability. D．Her role as a wife and mother.
26. What drove Ashu to start her physical training in her 50s
A．The end of her motherly duties. B．Her desire to follow social trends.
C．Her refusal to use medicine for health. D．The encouragement from the doctor.
27. What can we learn from Ashu’s story
A．Rome wasn’t built in a day. B．It’s never too late to start afresh.
C．The early bird catches the worm. D．Actions speak louder than words.
C
Learning how to regulate negative emotions like anxiety could ease chronic (慢性的) pain. Scientists have found that a form of therapy (疗法) that partly focuses on tolerating pain relieved ongoing discomfort more effectively than existing treatments.
“Chronic pain is more than a sensory experience; it’s incredibly emotional,” says Nell Norman-Nott at the University of New South Wales, Australia. “We see increased levels of anxiety and depression in up to about 80 percent of people with chronic pain.” This leads to a “vicious cycle”, where pre-pain increases negative emotions, which then worsen pain, she says.
To see if they could break the cycle, Norman-Nott and her team used a programme that focused on mindfulness, emotion regulation and pain tolerance. Eighty-nine people with chronic pain, lasting 16 years on average, were randomised to receive either the programme, delivered by a therapist through an eight-week online course, while continuing with any treatments they were already receiving, such as medication or physical therapy, or to just continue with their usual treatment.
Nine weeks later, those in the therapy group experienced an improvement in emotional regulation of about 5 points more than those in the control group. The intensity of their pain also started to lessen at week 9, and by 21 weeks they experienced significantly less pain than those in the control group.
“I think that’s interesting and promising,” says Benedict Alter at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It could also help people with limited access to inperson care, he says. “It’s great that they did this as internet-based. It’s a huge problem that there are small numbers of providers who do therapy, and they tend to be in urban areas.”
Exactly how the therapy reduces pain is unclear, says Alter, but “at any given pain intensity, if you had better emotional regulation, people’s overall lives would be better: less suffering, less functional limitation. I think pain intensity decreases as everything gets better.” The mechanism could be uncovered in larger studies, he says.
28. What does “vicious cycle” refer to
A．People with chronic pain are increasing.
B．Regulating negative emotions eases chronic pain.
C．Chronic pain and negative emotions worsen each other.
D．The new therapy is more effective than existing treatments.
29. How did Norman-Nott’s team prove the therapy’s effectiveness
A．By observing the usual treatment. B．By contrasting week 9 and week 21 results.
C．By stopping usual treatments for participants.
D．By comparing therapy and control group results.
30. Why is the therapy “promising” according to Benedict Alter
A．It provides training to the urban therapists.
B．It focuses on in-person therapy improvements.
C．It aids those with limited in-person care access.
D．It equips patients in rural areas with internet skills.
31. What might the future studies focus on
A．Investigating how the therapy reduces pain.
B．Comparing online therapy with in-person care.
C．Analyzing the effects of the eight-week course.
D．Testing the therapy on patients with intense pain.
D
Scientists at the University of Surrey have made a breakthrough in batteries that not only store more energy but help tackle greenhouse gas emissions. Lithium-CO2 “breathing” batteries release power while capturing carbon dioxide, offering a better alternative that may one day outperform today’s lithium-ion batteries.
Until now, Lithium-CO2 batteries have faced setbacks in efficiency-wearing out quickly and relying on expensive rare materials. However, researchers from Surrey have found a way to overcome these issues by using a low-cost catalyst (催化剂) called CPM. Using computer modelling and lab experiments, tests showed this simple change allowed the battery to store considerably more energy, charge with far less power and run for over 100 cycles.
Dr Gadkari, co-author of the study, said, “One of the biggest challenges with these batteries is something called ‘overpotential’ - the extra energy needed to get the reaction going. You can think of it like cycling uphill before you can coast. CPM flattens that hill, meaning the battery loses far less energy during each charge and discharge.”
To understand why the CPM worked so well, researchers used two approaches. First, they took apart the battery after charging and discharging to study the chemical changes inside, finding that lithium carbonate, the chemical substances formed when the battery absorbs CO2, could be reliably built up and removed-an essential feature for long-term use. They then turned to computer modelling using density functional theory (DFT) to explore how the reactions unfold on the material surface. Results showed how the CPM’s stable, holey structure offered the ideal surface for key chemical reactions.
“What’s exciting about this discovery is that it combines strong performance with simplicity. We’ve shown it’s possible to build efficient lithium-CO2 batteries in large numbers using affordable, expandable materials no rare metals required,” said Dr Gadkari. If commercialised, these batteries could help cut emissions from vehicles and industrial sources. Scientists even imagine they could operate on Mars, where the atmosphere is 95% CO2. The discovery opens new doors for developing even better low-cost, easy-to-make battery materials and marks a milestone step toward real-world applications.
32. What advantage does the new battery have over other batteries based on the first paragraph
A．It’s lighter. B．It’s more user-friendly. C．It’s greener. D．It’s more cost-effective.
33. What does Dr Gadkari want to clarify by referring to “cycling uphill”
A．A natural phenomenon. B．A technical term.
C．An experimental stage. D．A theoretical design.
34. How did researchers confirm the effectiveness of CPM besides using modelling
A．By testing its performance on Mars.
B．By assessing its durability via DFT.
C．By observing reactions in the battery.
D．By analyzing lithium carbonate’ structure.
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph about the new battery
A．It is promising for mass production.
B．It is convenient to make and recycle
C．Its efficiency relies on rare earth elements.
D．Its use has reshaped the battery industry.

67. It was a cool autumn morning when the school announced the annual sports day. For most students, it was a day of excitement and joy, but for me, it was just another event I wanted to avoid. I had always been the type to shy away from group activities, preferring the company of my books and thoughts.
Our class monitor, Sarah, noticed my unwillingness. She was the very image of enthusiasm and leadership, always trying to bring the class together. One day, she approached me during lunch. “Why don’t you join us for the relay race It’ll be fun,” she said with a warm smile. I hesitated, but her perseverance was hard to ignore.
The next day, Sarah organized a practice session. I unwillingly joined, feeling out of place among my more athletic classmates. As we ran, I tripped and the baton (接力棒) fell, with my knee scraped (擦伤). Embarrassed, I wanted to quit, but Sarah was there in an instant, offering a hand and words of encouragement. “It’s okay, we’re a team,” she said. At this time, other fellow classmates came to encourage me. Their kindness made me feel less alone.
As the days went by, I found myself looking forward to the practices. The care and support among my classmates was touching. I began to see the value of teamwork and the joy of shared experiences. My initial unwillingness melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of belonging.
The anticipation for the sports day filled me with excitement. I dreamed of the cheers, the applauding crowd, and the excitement of competition. Training hard, I desired to show my skills, push my limits, share and feel the joy of victory. This event was more than a game; it meant a lot for me. I could not wait to be part of it!

六、读后续写范文
The day I looked forward to came eventually. The stadium was full of cheering students. When our turn came, I stood nervously at my position. As the baton was passed to me, I ran as fast as I could. Unfortunately, my hurt knee ached sharply halfway, making me stumble and drop the baton before I handed it over. I froze on the spot, watching other teams rush ahead.
We lost the game, and I blamed our failure on myself. I felt ashamed and wanted to hide away. Seeing my sadness, Sarah and all my teammates gathered around me. They told me no one cared about the result, for they had seen my constant hard training and brave efforts. Their warm comfort touched me deeply. I realized the true value of the sports day was friendship and growth rather than winning or losing.
