Twenty years ago, Mike Hill looked around the safari(野生动植物观光) industry and noticed that something was missing. “I had worked in safaris all my life,” he told me, “when I suddenly realised that no one was catering for people with physical disabilities.” Beyond a missed opportunity, Mike felt he had a responsibility to change this. For the past two decades, he has been taking wheelchair users out into the wildest places in Southern Africa. What is perhaps surprising is that he had no personal connection to disability when he started. He was unafraid to learn, however, and spent months volunteering at a home for disabled people.
Mike recognised that there are two physical factors that determine whether a disabled traveller can participate in a safari: transport and accommodation. Control those and you level the playing field. The only thing out of control is the wilderness itself, but therein lies the excitement for all travellers, regardless of physical ability. So, Mike first adapted a safari vehicle by fitting a powered lift and wheelchair tie-downs. Then he created a mobile tented camp with roll-in showers, raised beds and paths for smooth wheeling. Pretty soon, he had created the world’s first adapted mobile safari camp.
When I travelled with Endeavour Safaris last year and experienced it for myself, it was extraordinary. The vehicle meant I could access the bush with dignity and independence, and the camp more than met my needs. The rest—be it elephants wandering through or a hippo grumbling(低吼) outside my tent—was just the wild and raw reality of a mobile safari.
“Making safaris accessible to people who never thought they could do it is the highlight for me,” he told me. “But here’s the moral of the story: the world will only change when more disabled people travel. You need pioneers. So my message is simple: travel, travel, travel.”
24. What motivated Mike Hill to adapt safaris
A. His volunteering experience. B. A desire to meet unmet needs.
C. His longing to make a fortune. D. A family member’s disability.
25. What does the underlined phrase “level the playing field” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Gain official permission. B. Build camps on flat ground.
C. Offer equal access to the wild. D. Raise standards for outdoor travel.
26. Which words best describe the author’s travel with Endeavour Safaris
A. Eco-friendly and wild. B. Tough and adventurous.
C. Amazing and demanding. D. Liberating and fulfilling.
27. What do Mike Hill’s words in the last paragraph suggest
A. More pioneers should engage in safari services.
B. The disabled should take the initiative for the change.
C. Travel should be the key to removing social inequality.
D. The safari industry should ensure travel chances for all.

What does it take to become the best at something The answer may not lie in early childhood excellence or in lifelong focused dedication. Instead the path to becoming exceptional at a skill might take a much less direct route.
That’s according to recent research published in Science that seeks to find out what it takes to excel in different performance areas. Somewhat surprisingly, the authors learned, people showing the greatest promise in their discipline as children rarely went on to reach the top of their field as adults.
The findings blow up the “10,000-hour rule,” the idea that if someone spends 10,000 hours purposely practicing a skill, they will master it, says Purdue University psychologist Brooke Macnamara, who co-authored the analysis. The rule, popularized in Malcolm Gladwell’s 2008 book Outliers, is based on a 1993 study of top-performing violin students. They had each accumulated an average of 10,000 hours of practice by age 20. Yet they were not world-class performers, Macnamara points out.
“By contrast, world-class performers often started their discipline later,” Macnamara explains. These people tend to engage in multiple activities early on. They accumulate less practice in their discipline and more practice in other disciplines and then rise to the top relatively late. The researchers highlight that the findings aren’t suggesting people don’t need to put in effort to become a chess grandmaster or a Wimbledon winner. Instead they show that top adult performers tend to be “late bloomers(大器晚成者)”.
The findings matter for institutions and coaches who might be biased toward directing resources at the kids who show the most promise in a given field early on. The research holds a message, too, for people who want to pursue a skill or dream but didn’t win their school competition or make it to the top of their youth league: don’t despair. “For people who didn’t follow the prodigy(天才) route, know you are in good company!” Macnamara says. “Most world-class performers didn’t, either.”
28. Why are the top-performing violin students mentioned
A. To challenge a popular belief. B. To introduce a research method.
C. To recommend Gladwell’s book. D. To present a common phenomenon.
29. What are the key features of late bloomers in their early years
A. Rapid progress and sharp focus. B. Natural talent and deep commitment.
C. Modest beginnings and broad exposure. D. Strict self-discipline and strong willpower.
30. According to the last paragraph, what does the research imply
A. Coaches should push prodigies to stay ahead.
B. Institutions should invest more in early achievers.
C. Talented children should seek professional guidance.
D. Young people should stay positive despite early failures.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Secret to Greatness: Stay Focused B. Late Bloomers: Path to Excellence
C. Way to Stand out: Constant Efforts D. Early Starters: Promise of the Future
D
Heat pumps, an electrical device moving heat from the outdoors into people’s homes, are much more efficient than gas heaters but are subject to icing up, which greatly reduces their effectiveness. Zhibin Yu, who works at the University of Glasgow, UK, wrestled with the problem for months and had an idea—if he could capture and reroute the heat that most heat pumps waste when they generate it, that could solve the defrosting issue and boost the pumps’ overall performance.
The idea relies on the very principle by which heat pumps operate: if you can seize heat, you can use it. Yu and his colleagues have built a prototype(样机) that stores leftover heat in a small water tank. Plus, by separately redirecting some of this residual(残余的) warmth to part of the heat pump exposed to cold air, the device can defrost itself when required, without having to pause heat supply to the house. “Yu’s idea is innovative,” says Rick Greenough, a retired energy systems engineer from De Montfort University. “I must admit this is a method I hadn’t actually thought of.”
Yu’s work is one of several recent innovations that aim to make the 200-year-old heat pump technology more efficient, potentially opening the door for greater adoption of heat pumps worldwide. Due to the current energy crisis and growing pressure to reduce fossil fuel consumption, these devices are arguably more crucial than ever.
Despite the urgency, heat pumps have struggled to become commonplace in some countries. One reason is cost; another is a long-held perception that heat pumps won’t work as well in cold climates.
Not every home is suitable for a heat pump and not every budget can accommodate one. Yu admits that the cost of replacing the gas boiler in his own home remains prohibitive. But it’s something Yu dreams of doing in the future. With ever-improving efficiencies and commercialization of new technology, heat pumps are only getting harder for their doubters to dismiss.
32. What problem with heat pumps was Yu trying to solve
A. Frost buildup. B. High energy waste.
C. Poor heat transfer. D. Frequent breakdowns.
33. What is the core mechanism behind Yu’s innovation
A. Recycling the lost heat. B. Improving heat absorption.
C. Delivering nonstop space heating. D. Reducing device exposure to the cold.
34. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The evolution of heating devices. B. The future adoption of heat pumps.
C. The demand for alternative energy. D. The drive for heat-pump innovations.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Doubts about heat pumps have been cleared.
B. Commercializing new technology is difficult.
C. Heating systems are prohibited in some places.
D. Heat pumps are gaining a more promising future.

Does your partner replay difficult conversations for days, or get easily overwhelmed by bright lights, strong smells or loud noises. 36
While not a clinical diagnosis, being an HSP refers to having an ability to process emotional information more deeply than others. This can lead to over-stimulation, stronger empathy, and a greater need for downtime to protect their own inner resources. So, what practical steps can you take to support a highly sensitive partner
Show acceptance
Acceptance means recognising and acknowledging how an HSP experiences the world. 37 You don’t need to agree in order to accept. It is important to show that you accept them as they are, and that you validate their experiences. This helps them feel safer with you.
Avoid critical comments around sensitivity
People might label HSPs’ responses as ments such as “you’re too sensitive” can feel extremely critical. 38 Tell them they may process information differently—they are simply coping with their own nervous system.
39
Feeling deeply can leave people exhausted, so they may need more downtime or their own space to adjust. Even smaller decisions can feel overwhelming. Time pressure can also intensify anxiety for HSPs. Speaking slowly, calmly and with generous pauses, will help to counteract their feelings of overwhelm.
Manage conflict with compassion(共情)
We all say things we don’t mean when we’re upset. However, it’s important to navigate arguments with compassion. HSPs may be processing many things at once during a disagreement, like your words, tone, the tension in the room, and their own emotional reactions. 40 So giving them time to pause and adjust can make communication much easier.
A. Give them time.
B. Create relaxing atmosphere.
C. HSPs are often misunderstood by others.
D. This can quickly become overwhelming.
E. Instead, approach them with the understanding.
F. If so, they could be a highly sensitive person (HSP).
G. Let them know their perspective is valid, whether or not you share it.

In mid-June, Shanghai-based Fourier Intelligence stationed its robots at a physical therapy centre run by Malaysia’s Social Security Organisation, 56 they support people’s recovery from workplace injuries and accidents. A month 57 (early), 1.3-metre-tall Unitree robots were photographed loading luggage onto conveyor belts at Haneda International Airport in Tokyo. They have been assisting with tasks since May, including aircraft pulling and cargo loading.
The industry has come a long way since China 58 (export) its first complete robot in 2007. In 2025, China’s humanoid(类人的) robot shipments had reached about 14,400 units, 59 (account) for 84.7 percent of the global total. Exports of both humanoid and industrial robots entered a period of rapid growth in 2025. In the first quarter of 2026, exports of robots 60 (design) to clean floors, windows and pools totaled 7.75 billion yuan, 61 shipments reaching 148 countries and regions.
Behind the export boom is a shift in strategy, especially among smaller 62 (firm). “Rather than relying on low prices, Chinese companies are creating value overseas through integrated products and services, supported by a complete industrial supply chain,” said Li Zhiwei, who heads the international market division at Yunji Technology, 63 delivery robot producer based in Beijing.
But 64 (gain) staying power in these markets, companies still face challenges like regulatory obedience, customer trust and long-term product reliability. “Technology is only the 65 (admit) ticket,” Li added.

Melanie was sitting in the backyard trying to write an outline for her science report, but she was out of ideas. She had tried writing about the greenhouse effect, the planets, and magnets, but she couldn’t get into any of those topics. They were so boring! She needed something different!
“Melanie,” her mom called from the kitchen, “keep an eye on Tom. I don’t want him in the treehouse by himself.” Her little brother had run out the back door and up the treehouse ladder. “But Mom, I am trying to get my work done,” protested Melanie, but her mother insisted in an authoritative tone. Melanie rolled her eyes, picked up her notebook and headed for the treehouse.
“Melanie, I found bird eggs! Come and see!”Tom shouted. Melanie sighed, knowing she would not get anywhere on the outline. Tom pointed out four tiny eggs in a nest made of straw and thin branches, but Melanie didn’t see what the big deal was.
“I think they’re robin(知更鸟) eggs, ” Tom said. “When do you think they’ll hatch ”
“I don’t know,” Melanie wasn’t really listening to him. She was thinking about her science project.
Tom checked on them three times that day and didn’t see the mother robin. But she must have been there. The eggs looked as if they had been rearranged. On Wednesday three baby birds were chirping(叽喳) loudly right outside the treehouse window. Melanie and Tom got their parents to come up for a better look. “They must have just hatched,” their mom commented. “Why don’t we give them some privacy for a couple of days Then we can check on them again.”
Three days later, the weather had become warmer, and there were four birds in the nest now. They were bigger, and soft down feathers had grown on their bodies, with their beaks(喙) pointing up. “They are waiting for the mother bird to bring them food,” explained their father. “She’s probably out hunting for some now.” When their parents left, Melanie and Tom stared out the window for half an hour, waiting for the mother bird.

Dear fellow students,
When it comes to study styles, I prefer studying in groups.
Studying in groups enables us to share ideas and learn from each other. We can discuss difficult problems together and get different views. Besides, group study keeps us motivated and focused. Of course, we still need independent thinking first before discussion.
In short, group study helps us make greater progress.
读后续写范文
Suddenly, Melanie spotted something near the treehouse window. It was the mother robin! She held a worm in her mouth and flew straight to the nest. The baby birds stretched their necks and opened their beaks widely, eagerly waiting for food. Melanie watched the whole feeding process carefully and took detailed notes in her notebook. She was amazed at how the mother robin kept feeding her babies again and again. She had never noticed such wonderful nature around her before.
A few days later, Melanie sat in the backyard again for her science report. She no longer felt stuck. She decided to write her report about the growth of the robin family. She recorded how the baby birds grew feathers and learned to chirp. Watching the little birds gave her rich materials. What used to be boring turned into a fantastic science project. Melanie smiled, thankful to Tom for discovering the bird nest.
