Horses are smarter than they’re given credit for
Horses are capable of strategic thinking and planning ahead, a new study has found.
Researchers at Nottingham Trent University made a game for horses 1 they had to touch a piece of card with their noses to get a treat. They made it progressively harder, and discovered that the horses all changed their strategies in the most difficult stage 2 (ensure) they would continue getting treats.
The study 3 (involve) 20 horses, who were initially rewarded with a treat for touching a piece of card with their noses. In the second stage, a “stop light” was introduced, and the rule was changed so that the reward was only given 4 they touched the card when the light was off. This did not alter the behaviour of the horses, as they 5 (observe) touching the card regardless of the status of the light. In the final stage, researchers introduced a “punishment” element of a 10-second timeout 6 playing or receiving any rewards for touching the card while the stop light was on.
At this point, all the horses suddenly began to play the game correctly, only touching the card when it would lead to a treat. Instantly 7 (switch) strategies in this way indicates the horses understood the rule of the stop light the entire time, but had no reason to follow the rule when there was no consequence for getting it wrong. This showed the animals have the ability to think and plan ahead — something previously 8 (consider) to be beyond their capacity.
“It’s fascinating because they have a very underdeveloped pre-frontal cortex (前额叶皮质), which is 9 we typically credit with producing that type of thinking in humans. This means they must be using another area of the brain to achieve a similar result,” said Dr Carrie Ijichi, a senior researcher at NTU.
“This teaches us that we 10 not make assumptions about animal intelligence based on whether they are 'built' just like us,” she said.
【答案】
1.where 2.to ensure 3.involved 4.if 5.were observed 6.from 7.switching 8.considered 9.what 10.should/must/can
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文主要介绍了诺丁汉特伦特大学的一项研究,研究人员通过设计一个让马用鼻子触碰卡片获取奖励的游戏,逐步增加难度并设置不同规则,发现马能够根据规则变化改变策略,证明马具有战略思考和提前规划的能力,同时也表明不能仅依据动物与人类生理构造的相似性来评判其智力。
1.考查定语从句。句意:诺丁汉特伦特大学的研究人员为马设计了一个游戏,在这个游戏中它们必须用鼻子触碰一张卡片才能得到食物奖励。“a game for horses” 是先行词,设空处引导定语从句修饰先行词。从句 “they had to touch a piece of card with their noses to get a treat” 结构完整,缺少表示地点的状语,即 “在这个游戏里”,where 在定语从句中作地点状语,符合语境。故填 where。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意:他们让游戏变得越来越难,并且发现马在最困难的阶段都改变了它们的策略,以确保它们能继续得到食物奖励。动词不定式短语作目的状语,说明马改变策略的目的是为了继续获得奖励。故填 to ensure。
3.考查动词时态。句意:这项研究涉及了 20 匹马,它们最初因用鼻子触碰一张卡片而得到食物奖励。文章整体描述的是过去进行的研究情况,句子主语是 “The study”,“involve” 是谓语动词,用一般过去时表示过去发生的动作,所以用 “involved”。故填 involved。
4.考查连词。句意:在第二阶段,引入了一个 “交通信号灯”,并且规则改变了,所以只有当信号灯熄灭时,它们触碰卡片才会得到奖励。“the reward was only given” 和 “they touched the card when the light was off” 之间存在条件关系,“if” 引导条件状语从句,意为 “如果,假如”,表示只有在 “信号灯熄灭且马触碰卡片” 这个条件下,才会得到奖励。故填 if。
5.考查动词时态和语态。句意:这并没有改变马的行为,因为观察到它们不管信号灯的状态如何都会去触碰卡片。“as” 引导原因状语从句,从句主语 “they”(指代马)和谓语动词 “observe” 之间是被动关系,即 “马被观察到”,且句子描述的是过去的情况,所以用一般过去时的被动语态 “were observed”。故填 were observed。
6.考查介词。句意:在最后阶段,研究人员引入了一个 “惩罚” 元素,即当交通信号灯亮着时,马在玩或因触碰卡片获得奖励时会有 10 秒钟的暂停时间。表示“由于”用介词from,timeout from“由于……而暂停”为固定搭配。故填 from。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意:以这种方式立即改变策略表明马一直都理解交通信号灯的规则,但是当犯错没有后果时,它们没有理由去遵守规则。本句缺少主语,动名词switching作主语,动名词短语作主语表示一种行为或动作。故填 switching。
8.考查非谓语动词。句意:这表明这些动物有思考和提前规划的能力 —— 这是以前被认为超出它们能力范围的事情。“something” 和 “consider” 之间是被动关系,即 “某事被认为”,所以用过去分词 “considered”作定语。故填 considered。
9.考查表语从句。句意:诺丁汉特伦特大学的资深研究员凯莉・伊吉奇博士说:“这很有趣,因为它们的前额叶皮质非常不发达,而我们通常认为产生人类那种思维方式的正是前额叶皮质。”“is” 后面是表语从句,从句中 “credit...with...” 缺少宾语,“what” 在表语从句中充当宾语,指代 “产生人类那种思维方式的东西”,所以用 “what” 引导表语从句。故填 what。
10.考查情态动词。句意:她说:“这告诉我们,我们不应该 / 一定不能 / 不能仅仅根据动物是否和我们‘构造’相似就对它们的智力做出假设。”根据语境,这里表达的是一种建议或告诫的语气,“should not” 表示 “不应该”,“must not” 表示 “一定不能”,“can not” 表示 “不能”,这三个情态动词的否定形式都能表达出 “不可以仅凭动物与人类构造相似与否就评判其智力” 的意思,符合句子逻辑。故填 should /must/can。

The power of the pen
Numerous studies highlight the psychological benefits of writing. For example, researchers found that participants who engaged in a six-week program of expressive writing improved their mental toughness.
In another study, researchers analyzed brain scans to see how writing about negative events affected the way such events 1 (process) and handled. They concluded that expressive writing might be an effective tool to address negative emotions and 2 writing about a past failure could improve learning.
Last year, brain researchers demonstrated that writing by hand 3 typing with a keyboard promoted more complex brain connectivity, which was crucial for memory formation.
These findings suggest that the process of writing allows you 4 (clarify) thoughts and “internalize” them, thus increasing the benefits.
To cultivate the habit of writing, try the two tips. Write to people you love.
When you write with your audience in mind, you relate to them. Most importantly, you share something precious with loved ones. Think of how you felt the last time someone you cared about 5 (take) time to write you a heartfelt message. You can even use this as an opportunity to save relationships that need 6 (heal) or just to get an extra smile out of someone. Write appreciation notes at work.
When Doug Conant took over as CEO at Campbell’s, he transformed the company culture from unpleasant to award-winning. “Most cultures don’t do a good job of celebrating contributions, so I made 7 a practice to write thank-you notes to our employees.” Conant said, “Over 10 years, it amounted to more than 30,000 notes, 8 we had only 20,000 employees. Wherever I’d go in the world, you’d find my handwritten notes 9 (display) on employees’ bulletin boards(公告栏).”
In today’s digital world 10 most communication is electronic, writing heartfelt thank-you notes enhances emotional intelligence and strengthens relationships. It makes your workplace or home better.

3.考查介词短语。句意:去年,大脑研究人员证明,手写而不是用键盘打字能促进更复杂的大脑连接,这对记忆形成至关重要。这里是在对比手写和打字对大脑连接的不同作用,强调手写的优势,所以用 “instead of” 或 “rather than” 连接,故填 instead of/rather than。

Race to the Frozen North

Reaching this ice-covered world was not easy. Many had tried before them, only 3 (force) back by terrible conditions. Peary’s success was not just luck — it was careful strategy, perseverance, and the strength of his team. He relied heavily 4 Henson, who had journeyed with him through the Arctic before.

But no amount of skill 5 make overcoming the Arctic any easier. The wind screamed like a wild beast, and the temperature dropped to a freezing minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Henson later wrote in his journal, “Freezing of the whole front part of the face is an ordinary occurrence.” Ice formed on their skin, 6 (bite) deeper with every burst of wind. Frostbite (冻疮) was a constant threat. Peary himself had lost toes on earlier adventures.
Despite 7 they endured, they kept pushing forward. Their food was simple but packed with energy: pemmican, a dense mixture of dried meat, animal fat, and berries. 8 it did little to satisfy true hunger, it did keep them alive. Their days were long and exhausting. Yet they refused to stop.
Then, at last, they arrived. The vast, icy emptiness 9 (stretch) in every direction. Henson, moving quickly ahead, was the first to mark their achievement. When Peary arrived, they planted their flags, securing their place in history. The impossible 10 (conquer).

Reverse Culture Shock Is Real
Returning from studying abroad was like being hit by a wave of reality. The initial shock wasn’t in the customs or language differences I 1 (expect) abroad—it came when I stepped back into daily life in the U.S.
In Denmark and the other countries I visited, 2 (not understand) every word around me became strangely comforting. There was a quiet peace in not having to process every conversation, not being subjected to endless chatter. What struck me deeply was 3 English surrounded me once more, a persistent reflection of the familiarity I didn’t realize I’d grown tired of.
Then came the noise. 4 I had gotten used to the peacefulness, New York felt like a mixture of loud unpleasant sounds. Shouting is literally everywhere—it felt like everyone was always 5 a rush to fill the air with sound. It felt disturbing, especially when I 6 (throw) into chaos after months of peace.
The hardest part wasn’t just adjusting to the noise, but the lack of agreement between my excitement to talk about my experiences and the blank stares I received in return. I longed 7 (share), but it felt like no one really understood. Only my fellow study-abroad friends could relate, and their sympathy was a comfort.
The biggest change, though, was internal. I had once been set on a future in cardiothoracic surgery (心胸外科手术), 8 (convince) that medical school was my calling. Yet, living in Scandinavia shifted my perspective. Now, I’m researching global health. Life, 9 it happens, has a way of changing direction when you least expect it. Sometimes, the best opportunities come from saying yes to 10 unexpected, from stepping outside your comfort zone—and the people and experiences you meet along the way make it all worth it.

If you’re bored with old-fashioned running, or if you feel that it’s not a complete workout, you might want to try crunning, a new fitness craze that’s taking Australia by storm. No, it does not mean crying while running. It’s actually a cross between crawling and running that involves getting down 1 all fours and moving as fast as you can.
The unique workout, best 2 (describe) as your legs’ worst nightmare, was invented by Australian fitness enthusiast Shaun MoCarthy. Although it’s still not known what urged him to come up with the odd activity, he seems 3 (convince) that the sport will revolutionize fitness as we know it. “The only thing that crunning has changed about fitness is that it’s changed 4 about fitness, ” he says.
The short video of him crunning in Melbourne that he posted online makes the activity look more like a joke than a serious workout, but it appears to have got quite a lot of attention. As the new fashion among fitness enthusiasts in Australia, crunning also causes controversy. People wonder 5 crunning is as beneficial a fitness activity as jogging or running. McCarthy 6 interviews can now be found everywhere online claims that crunning is a more complete workout because it includes the upper body as well. “It really works your legs and shoulders at the same time,” he said, 7 (add) that the sport burned more calories as well.
However, some fitness experts believe that McCarthy might just be overstating its effect. According to Kim Baylor, a personal trainer, any exercise that involves full body motions 8 hardly develop a lot of strength. And some think it’s just a quick trend and might even be harmful if practiced incorrectly. “Physiologically, humans 9 (build) for biped (双足的) mobility instead of quadruped (四足的) mobility like animals,” fitness coach Kevin Dean said. “As we’re upright, our wrists have different structures from our ankles (脚踝) while a quadruped animal has four of roughly the same joint. 10 McCarthy has said about the sport, I do see broken noses, wrist injuries, and shoulder problems arising from crunning. ”

In March of 2023, a strange video of Will Smith eating spaghetti was created using an early text-to-video AI tool called ModelScope and released on Reddit, a popular content-sharing platform. The technology, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability to accurately represent the text hint some users even described the video as “nightmarish”. Little did they know that a year later text-to-video AI would be creating videos so realistic 1 they would blur (模糊) the line between the digital and the real.
If you've ever used a text-to-image generative AI tool like DALL-E, you'll see that text-to-video tools work in a similar way. The user provides a hint, like “cat swimming in a fish tank,” and the tool creates a video 2 (base) on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makes use of what are known as “visual patches (补丁)”, building blocks of data 3 help the AI to understand how everything in the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame.
Tools that are based on a spread system, like OpenAI’s Sora, are trained 4 (recognize) objects so they can improve images by deleting the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker 5 (melt) raw gold multiple times in order to remove all its useless elements.
One of the remarkable things about OpenAI’s Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. When the project 6 (disclose) last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and according to the user's hint.”
But there are limits of Sora’s capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of how objects interact in the videos doesn't always make sense. Sometimes people or objects 7 (mix) together, transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can appear suddenly from the strange spaghetti video to 8 it is now in a year, these limitations probably won't last long.
Besides OpenAI's Sora, Google has two products called Lumiere and VideoPoet, but like Sora, they 9 not be open for public use yet. These tools are still being seriously tested and improved to ensure that people can't use them to produce inappropriate content or break laws.
In the meantime, you can still experiment with simple text-to-video tools 10 invideo AI, a creation and education in mind. It's perfect for creating online courses, “explainer” videos or providing visuals for a short story.

How to ‘Shift’ Big Feelings
Emotions are a fundamental part of what makes us human. The current wisdom in therapy (心理治疗) and on social media is that we should face negative emotions head on — and that if we don’t, they will go bad inside of us. There’s no doubt that 1 (cope) with stressful situations through long-term avoidance is harmful and can lead to more psychological distress, but not all avoidance is bad.
Sometimes, it’s best not to choose between approaching or avoiding, but to shift between 2 two intentionally. Avoidance can allow the intensity of a negative experience 3 (decrease). It can also provide distance 4 helps us see the experience from a broader perspective.
How can you figure out whether to avoid or to face up to your feelings? Dr. Kross, an emotion researcher, suggested asking yourself, “Is 5 I’m doing making me feel better about the problem in front of me? Is this issue still a concern 6 I take some time away from it?”
If you find that shifting your focus brings you relief and your concerns don’t resurface down the road, that 7 (count) as working. You might say something regrettable at a party, for instance, but instead of worrying about it, you distract yourself by watching funny videos that night.
When we use the word “you,” it is almost only to refer to other people, Dr. Kross said. But when you use it on yourself, it’s a strategy 8 (know) as distanced self-talk, which can be a powerful way to regulate negative emotions. So instead of saying “I am stressed out,” which may cause your heart to race, tell yourself “ 9 are stressed out.” This casts you 10 the role of “someone else,” and may help you feel more sympathy and understand others’ feelings.

5.考查主语从句。句意:情绪研究者克罗斯博士建议问自己:“我正在做的事情是否让我对眼前的问题感觉更好?”“I’m doing”是主语从句,从句中缺少宾语,句子表示“我正在做的事情”,因此用关系代词what引导主语从句,故填what。
6.考查连词。句意:在我暂时远离这个问题后/当我暂时远离这个问题时/如果我暂时远离这个问题,它是否还是我担忧的事情?由“I take some time away from it”可知,句子表示“在我暂时远离这个问题后/当我暂时远离这个问题时/如果我暂时远离这个问题,它是否还是我担忧的事情”,空格处意为“在……之后/当……时/如果”,空格处可用after/when引导时间状语从句,或if引导条件状语从句,故填after/when/if。
7.考查时态,被动语态和主谓一致。句意:如果你发现转移注意力能让你放松,而且之后担忧的事情也没有再浮现,那就说明这样做是有效的。由find可知,句子时态用一般现在时,sth. count as/sth. be counted as是固定短语,意为“某物可以算作/某物被认为是”,that作主语谓语动词用单数,因此空格处是counts/is counted。故填counts/is counted。
8.考查非谓语动词。句意:但当你把“你”这个词用在自己身上时,这就是一种被称为“自我疏离式对话”的策略,它是一种调节负面情绪的强大方法。句中谓语是is,空格处用非谓语动词,strategy和know之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填known。
9.考查代词。句意:所以,不要说“我压力很大”,这可能会让你心跳加速,而是告诉自己“你压力很大”。根据语境和前面的“cause your heart to race”及后面的“are stressed out”可知,句子表示“不要说‘我压力很大’”,这可能会让你心跳加速,而是告诉自己“你压力很大””,空格处用you表示“你”,故填you。
10.考查介词。句意:这会让你扮演“他人”的角色,可能会帮助你更有同情心,更理解他人的感受。cast sb. in/into the role of是固定短语,意为“使某人扮演……的角色”,因此空格处是介词in/into。故填in/into。

Small Breaks, Big Benefits
Training for a marathon is one route to fitness and building very short “micro walks” into your day may also be a path to better health. Researchers found that when people broke up a walk into periods of 10 to 30 seconds, 1 short breaks in between, they used up to 60 per cent more energy than covering the same stretch in one go.
According to the professor of the University of Milan, Dr Francesco Luciano, 2 led the study, the main message should be that brief moments of physical activity, such as getting to your feet to make a cup of tea, can make a surprisingly large difference to 3 calories you burn.
“Breaking up motionless periods with brief walk greatly increases energy consumed daily and 4 (improve) health.” This is the direct quote from Dr Francesco Luciano and his colleagues in Proceedings B, an influential journal 5 (publish) to present the latest biological research. The NHS recommends that adults aged 19 to 64 get at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of intense activity weekly. However, research has presented conclusive evidence that even very short intervals of activity 6 be beneficial.
The latest research, which hundreds of participants took part in, involved 7 (measure) the amount of energy people consumed while walking on an exercise machine or climbing stairs. Ten volunteers walked or climbed for different amounts of time, including short intervals of either 10 or 30 seconds, or longer 8 of up to four minutes. After each period of activity, they paused for several minutes. “We found that walking in 9 (short) periods requires more energy — and more oxygen — to cover the same walking length, compared to covering it continuously. It’s like a car using more fuel during the first few kilometres,” he said.
While breaking long walks into short intervals might not be practical in terms of length covered, Luciano emphasized that 10 possible, people should take a few steps to break up sitting time.
【答案】
1.with 2.who 3.how many 4.improves 5.published 6.can/will 7.measuring 8.ones 9.shorter 10.whenever/when/if
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文通过米兰大学的研究表明,将长时间静坐打断为短暂步行(10-30秒)能显著增加能量消耗(高达60%),改善健康。
1.考查介词。句意:研究人员发现,当人们将一次散步分成10到30秒的时间段,中间有短暂的休息时,他们消耗的能量比一次走完同样的路程要多60%。分析句子结构可知,此处需使用介词“with”表示“有”。故填with。
2.考查定语从句。句意:这项研究的负责人、米兰大学教授弗朗西斯科·卢西亚诺博士表示,主要的信息应该是,短暂的体育活动,比如站起来泡杯茶,会对你燃烧的卡路里数量产生惊人的巨大影响。分析句子结构可知,该句为定语从句,先行词Dr Francesco Luciano指人,且从句中缺少主语,因此使用关系代词who在从句中作主语。故填who。
3.考查固定短语。句意:这项研究的负责人、米兰大学教授弗朗西斯科·卢西亚诺博士表示,主要的信息应该是,短暂的体育活动,比如站起来泡杯茶,会对你燃烧的卡路里产生惊人的巨大影响。分析句子结构可知,该句为宾语从句,作介词“to”的宾语,“how many”表示“多少”,用于修饰可数名词复数“calories”,它引导的宾语从句“how many calories you burn”表示“你燃烧的卡路里数量”,整个从句作介词“to”的宾语。故填how many。
4.考查动词。句意:这项研究的负责人、米兰大学教授弗朗西斯科·卢西亚诺博士表示,主要的信息应该是,短暂的体育活动,比如站起来泡杯茶,会对你燃烧的卡路里数量产生惊人的巨大影响。用短暂的散步来打破不动的时期,大大增加了每天消耗的能量,改善了健康。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作谓语,连词and后improve(提高)与increases(增加)一起作并列谓语,时态语态需保持一致,因此也需使用一般现在时的三单形式。故填improves。
5.考查非谓语。句意:这是弗朗西斯科·卢西亚诺博士和他的同事在《论文集B》上的直接引用,这是一份发表最新生物学研究的有影响力的杂志。句中已有谓语is,空处在句中应使用其非谓语形式,主语this与publish(发表)之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此需使用过去分词作后置定语。故填published。
6.考查情态动词。句意:然而,研究已经提供了确凿的证据表明,即使是非常短的运动间隔也是有益的。根据be动词的原形可知,空处应使用情态动词,表示“短时间的运动对于健康有益”这种可能性,可使用情态动词can/will,表示“能够/将会”。故填can/will。
7.考查非谓语。句意:这项最新研究有数百名参与者参与,测量了人们在健身器上行走或爬楼梯时消耗的能量。分析句子结构可知,此处是固定短语involve doing sth.,意为“涉及;包含”,应使用其动名词形式。故填measuring。
8.考查代词。句意:10名志愿者步行或攀登不同的时间,包括10秒或30秒的短间隔,或长达4分钟的长间隔。分析句子结构可知,空处缺少宾语,且该句提到不同时长的运动,因此可使用代词ones指代前文中的intervals,指更长的“时间段”。故填ones。
9.考查形容词比较级。句意:我们发现,与连续行走相比,短时间行走需要更多的能量和更多的氧气来完成相同的行走长度。后文提到“compared to covering it continuously(与连续行走相比)”说明与持续走路相比,应该是更短时间走路,应使用形容词比较级形式。故填shorter。
10.考查状语从句省略。句意:虽然将长时间的步行分成短时间的间隔可能不太实际,但卢西亚诺强调,只要有可能/在任何可能是时候,人们应该采取一些措施来打破坐着的时间。分析句子结构可知,此处表示“在任何可能的时候,人们都应该起身走几步,打破长时间的久坐。”,因此可使用whenever/when引导时间状语从句,其完整形式是 “whenever/when it is possible”,同时,此处也可以表示“如果可能的话”,因此可以使用if引导条件状语从句,其完整形式是 “if it is possible”。故填whenever/when/if。

How to Stop Taking Bad Advice
“Wait your turn.” “Stay in your lane.” “Fake it till you make it.”
If you’ve worked in any professional environment, you’ve probably heard advice like this and even taken it. At first glance, it seems harmless — motivational, even. But dig deeper, and you’ll find these statements can often serve to stop progress, mask deeper problems, or encourage 1 (healthy) workplace norms.
Understanding 2 we fall for bad advice is the first step in resisting it.
In workplaces, those in a high social position often increase the influence of certain voices. A boss’s suggestion, however misguided, can feel like an instruction 3 a choice. Research shows that people are more likely to follow advice when it comes from someone they perceive as an expert, 4 the advice isn’t consistent with their own judgment.
A concept I 5 (research) extensively, insinuation anxiety, is the discomfort we feel when signaling that someone might be wrong or untrustworthy. Rejecting advice directly can also risk social negative feedback. This anxiety keeps many of us silent, 6 (lead) us to follow advice we do not trust.
Every time we act on bad advice, we sacrifice 7 — our time, our resources, or our confidence. Breaking the cycle of following bad advice doesn’t mean rejecting all guidance — it means learning to evaluate advice critically and match it to your goals and values. Here’s how to start:
Pause before you act
When 8 (face) with advice, take a moment to assess it.
Giving yourself this space allows you to move from a reactive response to a thoughtful one. When I finally questioned the advice to “just be patient,” I realized it 9 (hold) me back. By taking proactive steps — seeking mentors outside of the workplace and pursuing my values — I started shaping my own career path, and you can do the same.
Trust your expertise
Remember, you bring your own knowledge and experience to the table. If advice conflicts with your better judgment, trust yourself to make the call. Research shows that people feel more, not less, guilty when they follow advice 10 they know is wrong and a bad outcome occurs.

Nature Lover? It May Be Written in Your Genes
Our love of the natural world is partially baked into our genes, a study by researchers from the University of Queensland and the National University of Singapore suggests.
Using data collected by TwinsUK, the most detailed and extensive twin study ever 1 (carry) out, the team compared the genetic heritability of two types of trait — how strongly a person feels connected to nature, and the amount of time 2 they spend in nature — in more than 1,000 sets of twins.
They found that identical twins, who share almost all of their genes, were more similar to each other than fraternal twins, who share around half of their genes, 3 their appreciation of nature.
This genetic influence 4 (observe) in between 34 per cent for frequency of garden visits and 44 per cent for public nature space visits, they said.
“We were truly surprised by 5 we uncovered,” said study co-author Prof Richard Fuller of the University of Queensland. “This means there may be inborn genetic differences among people’s psychological connection with nature and how they experience 6 . Our results help to explain why some people have a stronger desire than others 7 (be) in nature.”
Previous studies have shown that, 8 people are raised and live in an urban or rural environment, it influences how strongly they want to be among nature or seek out outdoor experiences. However, this is a novel study 9 (involve) the suggestion that genetics plays a role in how strongly we feel a connection to nature.
As more and more people living in urban areas are reporting lower levels of well-being, and are at a 10 (high) risk of mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety than before, the study highlights the importance of bringing people closer to nature, the researchers say.

Horses are smarter than they’re given credit for
Horses are capable of strategic thinking and planning ahead, a new study has found.
Researchers at Nottingham Trent University made a game for horses 1 they had to touch a piece of card with their noses to get a treat. They made it progressively harder, and discovered that the horses all changed their strategies in the most difficult stage 2 (ensure) they would continue getting treats.
The study 3 (involve) 20 horses, who were initially rewarded with a treat for touching a piece of card with their noses. In the second stage, a “stop light” was introduced, and the rule was changed so that the reward was only given 4 they touched the card when the light was off. This did not alter the behaviour of the horses, as they 5 (observe) touching the card regardless of the status of the light. In the final stage, researchers introduced a “punishment” element of a 10-second timeout 6 playing or receiving any rewards for touching the card while the stop light was on.
At this point, all the horses suddenly began to play the game correctly, only touching the card when it would lead to a treat. Instantly 7 (switch) strategies in this way indicates the horses understood the rule of the stop light the entire time, but had no reason to follow the rule when there was no consequence for getting it wrong. This showed the animals have the ability to think and plan ahead — something previously 8 (consider) to be beyond their capacity.
“It’s fascinating because they have a very underdeveloped pre-frontal cortex (前额叶皮质), which is 9 we typically credit with producing that type of thinking in humans. This means they must be using another area of the brain to achieve a similar result,” said Dr Carrie Ijichi, a senior researcher at NTU.
“This teaches us that we 10 not make assumptions about animal intelligence based on whether they are 'built' just like us,” she said.

The power of the pen
Numerous studies highlight the psychological benefits of writing. For example, researchers found that participants who engaged in a six-week program of expressive writing improved their mental toughness.
In another study, researchers analyzed brain scans to see how writing about negative events affected the way such events 1 (process) and handled. They concluded that expressive writing might be an effective tool to address negative emotions and 2 writing about a past failure could improve learning.
Last year, brain researchers demonstrated that writing by hand 3 typing with a keyboard promoted more complex brain connectivity, which was crucial for memory formation.
These findings suggest that the process of writing allows you 4 (clarify) thoughts and “internalize” them, thus increasing the benefits.
To cultivate the habit of writing, try the two tips. Write to people you love.
When you write with your audience in mind, you relate to them. Most importantly, you share something precious with loved ones. Think of how you felt the last time someone you cared about 5 (take) time to write you a heartfelt message. You can even use this as an opportunity to save relationships that need 6 (heal) or just to get an extra smile out of someone. Write appreciation notes at work.
When Doug Conant took over as CEO at Campbell’s, he transformed the company culture from unpleasant to award-winning. “Most cultures don’t do a good job of celebrating contributions, so I made 7 a practice to write thank-you notes to our employees.” Conant said, “Over 10 years, it amounted to more than 30,000 notes, 8 we had only 20,000 employees. Wherever I’d go in the world, you’d find my handwritten notes 9 (display) on employees’ bulletin boards(公告栏).”
In today’s digital world 10 most communication is electronic, writing heartfelt thank-you notes enhances emotional intelligence and strengthens relationships. It makes your workplace or home better.

Race to the Frozen North
On April 6, 1909, six determined men stood at the top of the world, claiming victory over one of Earth’s last great frontiers — the North Pole. Their leader, Robert E. Peary, captured the historic moment in photographs as his team proudly held up their flags. Among them was Matthew Henson, an experienced explorer 1 skills had been vital to their success. He held a unique flag, 2 (sew) together from different pieces of fabric, while four expert Inuit hunters stood by his side. They guided the team through the endless frozen wilderness.
Reaching this ice-covered world was not easy. Many had tried before them, only 3 (force) back by terrible conditions. Peary’s success was not just luck — it was careful strategy, perseverance, and the strength of his team. He relied heavily 4 Henson, who had journeyed with him through the Arctic before. Henson wasn’t just an explorer; he was a survivalist, trained by the Inuit (因纽特人) in the art of handling the ice.
But no amount of skill 5 make overcoming the Arctic any easier. The wind screamed like a wild beast, and the temperature dropped to a freezing minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Henson later wrote in his journal, “Freezing of the whole front part of the face is an ordinary occurrence.” Ice formed on their skin, 6 (bite) deeper with every burst of wind. Frostbite (冻疮) was a constant threat. Peary himself had lost toes on earlier adventures.
Despite 7 they endured, they kept pushing forward. Their food was simple but packed with energy: pemmican, a dense mixture of dried meat, animal fat, and berries. 8 it did little to satisfy true hunger, it did keep them alive. Their days were long and exhausting. Yet they refused to stop.
Then, at last, they arrived. The vast, icy emptiness 9 (stretch) in every direction. Henson, moving quickly ahead, was the first to mark their achievement. When Peary arrived, they planted their flags, securing their place in history. The impossible 10 (conquer).

Reverse Culture Shock Is Real
Returning from studying abroad was like being hit by a wave of reality. The initial shock wasn’t in the customs or language differences I 1 (expect) abroad—it came when I stepped back into daily life in the U.S.
In Denmark and the other countries I visited, 2 (not understand) every word around me became strangely comforting. There was a quiet peace in not having to process every conversation, not being subjected to endless chatter. What struck me deeply was 3 English surrounded me once more, a persistent reflection of the familiarity I didn’t realize I’d grown tired of.
Then came the noise. 4 I had gotten used to the peacefulness, New York felt like a mixture of loud unpleasant sounds. Shouting is literally everywhere—it felt like everyone was always 5 a rush to fill the air with sound. It felt disturbing, especially when I 6 (throw) into chaos after months of peace.
The hardest part wasn’t just adjusting to the noise, but the lack of agreement between my excitement to talk about my experiences and the blank stares I received in return. I longed 7 (share), but it felt like no one really understood. Only my fellow study-abroad friends could relate, and their sympathy was a comfort.
The biggest change, though, was internal. I had once been set on a future in cardiothoracic surgery (心胸外科手术), 8 (convince) that medical school was my calling. Yet, living in Scandinavia shifted my perspective. Now, I’m researching global health. Life, 9 it happens, has a way of changing direction when you least expect it. Sometimes, the best opportunities come from saying yes to 10 unexpected, from stepping outside your comfort zone—and the people and experiences you meet along the way make it all worth it.

If you’re bored with old-fashioned running, or if you feel that it’s not a complete workout, you might want to try crunning, a new fitness craze that’s taking Australia by storm. No, it does not mean crying while running. It’s actually a cross between crawling and running that involves getting down 1 all fours and moving as fast as you can.
The unique workout, best 2 (describe) as your legs’ worst nightmare, was invented by Australian fitness enthusiast Shaun MoCarthy. Although it’s still not known what urged him to come up with the odd activity, he seems 3 (convince) that the sport will revolutionize fitness as we know it. “The only thing that crunning has changed about fitness is that it’s changed 4 about fitness, ” he says.
The short video of him crunning in Melbourne that he posted online makes the activity look more like a joke than a serious workout, but it appears to have got quite a lot of attention. As the new fashion among fitness enthusiasts in Australia, crunning also causes controversy. People wonder 5 crunning is as beneficial a fitness activity as jogging or running. McCarthy 6 interviews can now be found everywhere online claims that crunning is a more complete workout because it includes the upper body as well. “It really works your legs and shoulders at the same time,” he said, 7 (add) that the sport burned more calories as well.
However, some fitness experts believe that McCarthy might just be overstating its effect. According to Kim Baylor, a personal trainer, any exercise that involves full body motions 8 hardly develop a lot of strength. And some think it’s just a quick trend and might even be harmful if practiced incorrectly. “Physiologically, humans 9 (build) for biped (双足的) mobility instead of quadruped (四足的) mobility like animals,” fitness coach Kevin Dean said. “As we’re upright, our wrists have different structures from our ankles (脚踝) while a quadruped animal has four of roughly the same joint. 10 McCarthy has said about the sport, I do see broken noses, wrist injuries, and shoulder problems arising from crunning. ”

In March of 2023, a strange video of Will Smith eating spaghetti was created using an early text-to-video AI tool called ModelScope and released on Reddit, a popular content-sharing platform. The technology, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability to accurately represent the text hint some users even described the video as “nightmarish”. Little did they know that a year later text-to-video AI would be creating videos so realistic 1 they would blur (模糊) the line between the digital and the real.
If you've ever used a text-to-image generative AI tool like DALL-E, you'll see that text-to-video tools work in a similar way. The user provides a hint, like “cat swimming in a fish tank,” and the tool creates a video 2 (base) on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makes use of what are known as “visual patches (补丁)”, building blocks of data 3 help the AI to understand how everything in the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame.
Tools that are based on a spread system, like OpenAI’s Sora, are trained 4 (recognize) objects so they can improve images by deleting the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker 5 (melt) raw gold multiple times in order to remove all its useless elements.
One of the remarkable things about OpenAI’s Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. When the project 6 (disclose) last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and according to the user's hint.”
But there are limits of Sora’s capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of how objects interact in the videos doesn't always make sense. Sometimes people or objects 7 (mix) together, transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can appear suddenly from the strange spaghetti video to 8 it is now in a year, these limitations probably won't last long.
Besides OpenAI's Sora, Google has two products called Lumiere and VideoPoet, but like Sora, they 9 not be open for public use yet. These tools are still being seriously tested and improved to ensure that people can't use them to produce inappropriate content or break laws.
In the meantime, you can still experiment with simple text-to-video tools 10 invideo AI, a creation and education in mind. It's perfect for creating online courses, “explainer” videos or providing visuals for a short story.

German Subway Station Catches Everyone’s Attention
If you have the chance to travel to Frankfurt, it’s worth making a stop at the Bockenheimer Warte subway station just to see its unique entryway. 1 has a vivid imagination might be convinced of the existence of powerful supervillains (超级反派). The eye-catching architecture that marks the entrance to the station looks as if a 2 (threaten) giant has lifted up a tram car and thrown it into the solid concrete sidewalk. In reality, it has a much 3 (practical) origin.
The construction of this station entrance, which looks particularly like the wreckage of a trolley car half buried in the ground, 4 (credit) to an architect named Zbigniew Peter Pininski. 5 (feature) familiar objects, such as apples, eggs, birds, pipes, and clocks, in unusual contexts, he was able to arouse a sense of wonder and curiosity among viewers. In addition to his love for abstract art, Pininski also had another reason 6 accounted for his motivation to build such a unique subway entrance.
At the time, the subway station was simply a proposal 7 (extend) Frankfurt’s subway system. Many of the local residents were concerned about the impact the construction and development 8 (have) on the community. The issue led to a fierce debate, with some people opposed to the project. Pininski’s unusual design helped win over enough support for the subway station to get “the green light”, and it was built in 1986.
While some residents still complained about the expansion of the subway network into their area, Pininski’s creative architecture won praise from many 9 .It has even become a tourist attraction for people to shoot photos of themselves near what could be described 10 a work of art. Magritte, the late Belgian surrealist master, would have approved of the Bockenheimer Warte subway station.

Baby Hippo (河马) in Thailand Gets Official Song for Worldwide Fans
A baby hippo in Thailand became famous earlier this year when zoo workers published images and videos of her online. Now the pygmy hippo (侏儒河马), named Moo Deng, has an official song and video released 1 several languages for her fans worldwide.
Moo Deng lives at Khao Kheow Open Zoo, southeast of the Thai capital, Bangkok. Zoo worker Atthapon Nundee 2 (post) sweet moments of the animal's life for the past few months. During that time, the hippo has received widespread attention on social media. Fans of the animal have expressed 3 they enjoy watching the pink-cheeked baby actively interact with her mother and other zoo workers.
Moo Deng — which means “bouncy pork” in Thai — is a kind of meatball. The name, chosen by fans on social media, is similar to 4 of her two brothers: Moo Toon (stewed (炖制的) pork) and Moo Waan (sweet pork). Moo Deng’s popularity has spread internationally and she has gained the attention of some professional sports teams. Fans say her name fits her lively personality. Moo Deng likes to “deng” or bounce, and her bouncing behavior has led to countless internet memes (表情包).
The widespread publicity led a well-known Thai composer 5 (write) a special song for Moo Deng. The lively 50-second song, called, naturally, Moodeng, 6 (release) by one of Thailand’s biggest recording companies. GMM Music last week. A music video 7 goes along with the song shows the baby hippo bouncing around, playing with her keeper, or spending time with her mother, Jona.
Moo Deng is now four months old. Officials estimated the baby hippo has brought in about 3,000 to 5,000 visitors a day on average 8 it became popular online. The zoo has been selling clothes, bedding and other products based on Moo Deng. The zoo’s director, Narongwit Chodchoi, said the additional earnings from Moo Deng will help the zoo’s 9 (breed) programs for many endangered animals, like the pygmy hippo, which is threatened by illegal hunting and loss of habitat. Pygmy hippos are native to Wost Africa, but experts say there are only 2,000-3,000 of them 10 (leave) in the wild.
All four versions of the Moo Deng song are available online.

How to ‘Shift’ Big Feelings
Emotions are a fundamental part of what makes us human. The current wisdom in therapy (心理治疗) and on social media is that we should face negative emotions head on — and that if we don’t, they will go bad inside of us. There’s no doubt that 1 (cope) with stressful situations through long-term avoidance is harmful and can lead to more psychological distress, but not all avoidance is bad.
Sometimes, it’s best not to choose between approaching or avoiding, but to shift between 2 two intentionally. Avoidance can allow the intensity of a negative experience 3 (decrease). It can also provide distance 4 helps us see the experience from a broader perspective.
How can you figure out whether to avoid or to face up to your feelings? Dr. Kross, an emotion researcher, suggested asking yourself, “Is 5 I’m doing making me feel better about the problem in front of me? Is this issue still a concern 6 I take some time away from it?”
If you find that shifting your focus brings you relief and your concerns don’t resurface down the road, that 7 (count) as working. You might say something regrettable at a party, for instance, but instead of worrying about it, you distract yourself by watching funny videos that night.
When we use the word “you,” it is almost only to refer to other people, Dr. Kross said. But when you use it on yourself, it’s a strategy 8 (know) as distanced self-talk, which can be a powerful way to regulate negative emotions. So instead of saying “I am stressed out,” which may cause your heart to race, tell yourself “ 9 are stressed out.” This casts you 10 the role of “someone else,” and may help you feel more sympathy and understand others’ feelings.

Middle East’s Dark Sky Hubs
Sara Sami vividly recalls the first time she truly saw the stars. The 38-year-old photographer and travel guide 1 (search) for a spot in Saudi Arabia — a massive cliff overlooking a vast desert — when she unexpectedly found herself under an amazing night sky. “There was a blanket of stars right above me, “Sami reminisces.” I 2 see thousands of them stretching endlessly. It was a breathtaking sight.”
Ever since that night, Saudi Arabia has become her top stargazing destination. Sami has traveled numerous times from her home in Bahrain, a small island nation 3 (connect)to Saudi Arabia by a 15-mile causeway. She seeks out places with undisturbed darkness, far from towns and cities, 4 she can see the Milky Way. It was literally in the middle of a desert: there was an abandoned village with broken houses. 5 the atmosphere was frightening and filled with an unsettling stillness, the sky was stunningly beautiful.
In November last year, another nature reserve, near the ancient oasis city of AlUla, 6 (name)the first-ever Dark Sky Park in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia joined 21 other countries on its list of certified Dark Sky Places, with the US and New Zealand 7 (top) the list.
“Part of the 2,334 square kilometer reserve’s commitment to the preservation of the night sky involves careful lighting design, such as ensuring 8 , if possible, lights are equipped with shades to minimize light pollution. Specifically, these shades are designed to direct the light down 9 up.” The local observatory is currently developing an outdoor lighting guide for new and existing developments within AlUla County. This guide will enable residents and visitors to see the night sky above AlUla in all its natural beauty for years 10 (come). This ongoing effort reflects a broader commitment to preserving the night sky for future generations.

Small Breaks, Big Benefits
Training for a marathon is one route to fitness and building very short “micro walks” into your day may also be a path to better health. Researchers found that when people broke up a walk into periods of 10 to 30 seconds, 1 short breaks in between, they used up to 60 per cent more energy than covering the same stretch in one go.
According to the professor of the University of Milan, Dr Francesco Luciano, 2 led the study, the main message should be that brief moments of physical activity, such as getting to your feet to make a cup of tea, can make a surprisingly large difference to 3 calories you burn.
“Breaking up motionless periods with brief walk greatly increases energy consumed daily and 4 (improve) health.” This is the direct quote from Dr Francesco Luciano and his colleagues in Proceedings B, an influential journal 5 (publish) to present the latest biological research. The NHS recommends that adults aged 19 to 64 get at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of intense activity weekly. However, research has presented conclusive evidence that even very short intervals of activity 6 be beneficial.
The latest research, which hundreds of participants took part in, involved 7 (measure) the amount of energy people consumed while walking on an exercise machine or climbing stairs. Ten volunteers walked or climbed for different amounts of time, including short intervals of either 10 or 30 seconds, or longer 8 of up to four minutes. After each period of activity, they paused for several minutes. “We found that walking in 9 (short) periods requires more energy — and more oxygen — to cover the same walking length, compared to covering it continuously. It’s like a car using more fuel during the first few kilometres,” he said.
While breaking long walks into short intervals might not be practical in terms of length covered, Luciano emphasized that 10 possible, people should take a few steps to break up sitting time.

How to Stop Taking Bad Advice
“Wait your turn.” “Stay in your lane.” “Fake it till you make it.”
If you’ve worked in any professional environment, you’ve probably heard advice like this and even taken it. At first glance, it seems harmless — motivational, even. But dig deeper, and you’ll find these statements can often serve to stop progress, mask deeper problems, or encourage 1 (healthy) workplace norms.
Understanding 2 we fall for bad advice is the first step in resisting it.
In workplaces, those in a high social position often increase the influence of certain voices. A boss’s suggestion, however misguided, can feel like an instruction 3 a choice. Research shows that people are more likely to follow advice when it comes from someone they perceive as an expert, 4 the advice isn’t consistent with their own judgment.
A concept I 5 (research) extensively, insinuation anxiety, is the discomfort we feel when signaling that someone might be wrong or untrustworthy. Rejecting advice directly can also risk social negative feedback. This anxiety keeps many of us silent, 6 (lead) us to follow advice we do not trust.
Every time we act on bad advice, we sacrifice 7 — our time, our resources, or our confidence. Breaking the cycle of following bad advice doesn’t mean rejecting all guidance — it means learning to evaluate advice critically and match it to your goals and values. Here’s how to start:
Pause before you act
When 8 (face) with advice, take a moment to assess it.
Giving yourself this space allows you to move from a reactive response to a thoughtful one. When I finally questioned the advice to “just be patient,” I realized it 9 (hold) me back. By taking proactive steps — seeking mentors outside of the workplace and pursuing my values — I started shaping my own career path, and you can do the same.
Trust your expertise
Remember, you bring your own knowledge and experience to the table. If advice conflicts with your better judgment, trust yourself to make the call. Research shows that people feel more, not less, guilty when they follow advice 10 they know is wrong and a bad outcome occurs.

Stand-up comedy in China
Stand-up comedy, originating in the United States, has gained global appeal, including in China. 1 the first Chinese stand-up comedy club was set up in Shenzhen in 2009, this form of entertainment was relatively unknown to most Chinese audiences. But the growing popularity of stand-up comedy in China 2 (demonstrate) that humor has no borders. Another two stand-up comedy industry leaders in China 3 (establish) in 2014 and 2017 respectively.
Wang Xuebin, a professor at the Party School of the CPC, explains 4 stand-up comedy is so popular in China. According to him, the comedy matches modern online trends. Comedians often talk about current social issues in short and direct ways, 5 fits well with the fast-paced, short videos people enjoy online. The topics are also closely related to young people, who are a key audience. He adds that stand-up comedy is easy to start because it doesn’t require special skills. Anyone, 6 age or gender, can try it. This makes it widely appealing in China.
In a regular comedy show, each comedian usually performs for about 15 minutes. However, in a comedy special (专场) 7 (focus) on one comedian, the performance lasts around 60 minutes. This longer format requires more work on the script (稿), making the content 8 (rich), so the audience always feels it’s worth their time.
Stand-up comedy, with performers’ raw personal struggles 9 (transform) into universally relatable humor, has grown from small, underground clubs to becoming a mainstream part of popular culture. The competition is intense, with new shows constantly appearing and older ones innovating 10 (stay) relevant. One thing is clear: what was once a niche (小众的) activity is now everywhere in China and shows no signs of disappearing.

Dig holes across the country
Published in 1998, Louis Sachar’s book, Holes, has won lots of awards. A film version of it was released in 2003, 1 (produce) in a professional manner by Disney. Then, in 2018, the Nottingham Playhouse Theatre Company created a stage show that was motivated by both the book and the Hollywood film. Now, that show, 2 was a huge success when it first came out, is coming back to the stage and will be going on a tour across England.
3 Holes tells is the story of Stanley Yelnats, a boy born into a poor family. Yelnats 4 (accuse) of a crime he didn’t commit. Sent to a prison camp in the desert, Yelnats must spend his days 5 (dig) holes amid poisonous snakes under the instruction of a strict prison officer. 6 Yelnats is told that this is to “build character”, he soon unearths a mystery buried deep beneath the ground. Sachar’s story of hardship 7 (inspire) book readers and film audiences for years.
The stage show is being brought back and performed around the country by the Children’s Theatre Partnership (CTP). The CTP was founded in 2010, 8 the purpose of producing and touring theatre shows that are aimed at young people. Holes is the first of three shows 9 (take) on tour over the next three years. A new cast of actors is bringing the book’s characters to life, from a script (剧本) that was written by Sachar himself, so 10 can match the authenticity of this adaptation. The tour of Holes started in Northampton on 24 January and will be traveling across England before finishing in Canterbury on 30 May.

Nature Lover? It May Be Written in Your Genes
Our love of the natural world is partially baked into our genes, a study by researchers from the University of Queensland and the National University of Singapore suggests.
Using data collected by TwinsUK, the most detailed and extensive twin study ever 1 (carry) out, the team compared the genetic heritability of two types of trait — how strongly a person feels connected to nature, and the amount of time 2 they spend in nature — in more than 1,000 sets of twins.
They found that identical twins, who share almost all of their genes, were more similar to each other than fraternal twins, who share around half of their genes, 3 their appreciation of nature.
This genetic influence 4 (observe) in between 34 per cent for frequency of garden visits and 44 per cent for public nature space visits, they said.
“We were truly surprised by 5 we uncovered,” said study co-author Prof Richard Fuller of the University of Queensland. “This means there may be inborn genetic differences among people’s psychological connection with nature and how they experience 6 . Our results help to explain why some people have a stronger desire than others 7 (be) in nature.”
Previous studies have shown that, 8 people are raised and live in an urban or rural environment, it influences how strongly they want to be among nature or seek out outdoor experiences. However, this is a novel study 9 (involve) the suggestion that genetics plays a role in how strongly we feel a connection to nature.
As more and more people living in urban areas are reporting lower levels of well-being, and are at a 10 (high) risk of mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety than before, the study highlights the importance of bringing people closer to nature, the researchers say.
