(2023·浙江东阳5月模考)
Since I was a little girl growing up in Safranbolu,Turkey,I’ve dreamed of exploring the world—from the sandy beaches of California to the northern lights in Iceland.Until a couple of years ago,I couldn’t have even imagined this happening,but a few months ago my dreams finally became a reality.
I’m more than 7ft (2.15 metres) tall,so travelling is difficult for me.I am the tallest woman in the world,due to a rare genetic condition called Weaver Syndrome(韦弗综合征),which affects only 50 people.
My childhood was not easy.I was homeschooled because of my physical condition and from as early as I can remember,I knew I looked different from other people.I felt like a child trapped inside an adult’s body.When I was six,I was already 5ft in tall.As a social norm(标准),people expect men to be bigger and taller than women;this makes things very difficult for tall women,and I find it upsetting.
I often need to adjust things due to my height.Everything has to be altered to suit me,which can be very hard,but there are positives,too.I usually buy clothes from brands specializing in plus-size clothing,then alter them.I’ll find a dress that I like and then get it turned into a top.Bottoms always have to be tailored.It gives me a chance to be creative.
I’ve always been a very ambitious person.In 2014,when I was 17,I received the title for the tallest living teenager.I actually applied for it myself,as I saw the record holder at the time was shorter than me.
In 2021,I was named the tallest living woman,and last year I received the titles for the largest hands,longest fingers and longest back,too.I use these titles as a platform to raise awareness about my condition and also to empower people to be themselves.I hope to inspire and encourage other people with similar conditions to know they’re not alone and that anything is possible for them.

While many dog owners would like to know what their pet does all day while left home alone,they don’t necessarily want a bunch of cameras placed inside their house.The PetTrack system offers a less annoying alternative,as it keeps tabs on pets via radio signals.
Created by a team of scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology,PetTrack consists of three wirelessly connected parts:a sensor that’s worn by the dog on its collar,a few ultra-wideband radio transceivers(收发器) placed around the home,and a central data collection module.
As the dog walks from one place to another,it gets closer to some of the transceivers and farther away from others.These changes in distance can be detected by the system based on the amount of time that is spent between a radio signal being sent by each transceiver,and a response being received from the dog-worn sensor.By continuously analyzing how far the dog is from each transceiver,the central data collection module is able to triangulate(对……作三角测量)the animal’s present location within the house.It additionally receives data from an accelerometer in the dog’s sensor,which it analyzes to determine the animal’s current body position.
The data collection module relays all this information to an Internet-connected app on the user’s smartphone,via the home’s Wi-Fi network.As a result,whenever and wherever the user wants,they can open the app to check where the dog is.They can also view a record of where it’s been and what positions it’s been in throughout the day.
A single PetTrack system can monitor up to four pets at once,providing updates once a second.And unlike a camera-based system,there’s no risk of hackers taking advantage of it to watch users in their homes,or to see where their valuables are located.
There’s presently no word on when PetTrack may be commercialized.For now,you can only see a demonstration of the model.

Sunflowers are huge plants with bright yellow flowers.They have a long history in North America.There is evidence that they were used for food and for medicine by Native Americans beginning around 1000 B.C.The seeds from sunflowers were likely brought to Europe by Spanish explorers around the late 16th century.Over time,they found their way to Eastern Europe.Today,Ukraine is the world’s leading producer of the plants.Sunflowers are grown for their seeds and to make oil.
If you start growing sunflowers from seeds,put them in room-temperature water for 2-8 hours before planting to start the growing process.Plant each seed into dirt 2.5 centimetres deep and 15 to 30 centimetres apart.Plant them after the danger of frost has passed or start indoors three weeks before your last frost date.Keep the soil wet,but not too wet,until the seeds begin to grow.
Sunflower plants can be moved outdoors when the danger of frost has passed in your area.Choose a place outside that will provide the plants with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
As the plants grow,they will develop long roots that work their way deep into the ground.So,before planting,it is important to loosen the soil.Dig at least one third of a metre down and remove any rocks.
Mix a large amount of compost(堆肥) into the soil where the plant will grow.Compost provides important,lasting nutrients that will help the plants all season long.The sunflowers may not need additional nutrients if they are planted with compost.If compost is not added during the planting process,provide nutrients through a slow release,all-purpose fertilizer(肥料) one or two times during the growing season.
