David Rush broke his 181st record, giving him a new kind of record — the record for the most Guinness World Records held at the same time. Rush, who’s 40, began working to set world records to show how important it is to keep doing our best and push our own limits, even when things are hard.
In 2015, Rush decided to set a record by juggling (玩杂耍) with his eyes covered. After practicing for several weeks, Rush managed to juggle blindfolded for 6 minutes and 34 seconds. That was Rush’s first Guinness World Record. He even broke this record twice in a row (连续). Rush enjoys the hard work of training to break records, during which he finds it helps him stay in shape, and that it’s fun to try new things. Many of the records Rush sets are unusual. He’s balanced 101 rolls of toilet paper on his head. He’s caught 59 marshmallows (棉花软糖) in his mouth in one minute.
Rush’s family supports him in his efforts. His three children enjoy practicing with him. In 2021, his wife allowed Rush to wrap her in plastic wrap to set a new record. Most of Rush’s records get set at his home, with volunteers helping out, carefully recording the event.
But Rush’s main job is giving encouraging speeches at businesses and schools. Technology is very important in today’s world, and that makes him a big fan of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) in education. He wants students to believe that even if they struggle with science or math, they can still become an engineer or anything they want to become.
In all, Rush has broken over 300 Guinness World Records, but many of these records have been broken again. He visited the main office of Guinness World Records in London, England. During his visit, he set 15 world records in a single day.
24.What mainly drives Rush to set records?

C.His preference for blindfolded juggling. D.His determination to challenge himself.

D.He set two records in catching marshmallows in his mouth.

If you speak more than one language, you may have had the experiences of them mixed in your sleep. But how and why do our brains come up with these multilingual (多语言的) dreams and could they have an impact on our real-life language skills?
To understand the relationship between sleep and language, let’s start with just one language: your own. You may think you mastered your native language long ago, but you are actually still endlessly updating it. Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their mother tongue.
It’s during sleep that the integration (整合) of old and new knowledge happens. During the day, our hippocampus, which specializes in absorbing information quickly, takes in new words. At night, it passes the new information on to other parts of the brain, where it can be stored and connected to other relevant information.
What we do know is that aside from processing daytime information, our brain can also learn new words while asleep. Matthieu Koroma, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Liège in Belgium, conducted a number of studies of how and when we deal with language in our sleep. “Basically, the message is that you are able to learn words in other languages during sleep, even new languages you never heard before, but you do it in a very different way than when you are awake,” he says.
Does all this mean we can easily learn a language in our sleep, as long as we play a language lesson all night long? Not necessarily. “It might actually backfire, by disturbing your rest,” Koroma says. He also points out that in the study, people learned the words much faster when they were awake than when they were asleep: “It’s more effective when you’re awake. Wakefulness is good for learning, and sleep is more to replay, not for new language getting,” Koroma adds. “It’s an interactive process, which means that you learn during the day, and during sleep you process this information, build up some of your memories, and try to put it in new contexts.”
Koroma further explains the practical significance of his research. “The best way to do it is probably to learn a new language before going to sleep, and then play some of the words you just heard, while being asleep,” says Koroma. “Here the results are mostly that if you play them quietly enough, it will improve your learning abilities. But if you play it too loudly, it will actually bring down you learning ability. So there is some fine-tuning.”
28. Matthieu Koroma’s research shows that ______.
A. we can learn new languages as effectively during sleep as when awake
B. playing a language lesson all night long is the best way to learn a language
C. we can learn words in other languages during sleep, but in a different way
D. sleep is more important than wakefulness for new language getting
29. What does the author mean by “it might actually backfire” in Paragraph 5?
A. Playing a language lesson all night long may have a negative effect.
B. Learning a new language during sleep is useless.
C. It is better to learn a language when awake.
D. Sleep is not suitable for learning new languages.
30. What is Matthieu Koroma’s attitude towards learning a language during sleep?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Indifferent. D. Careful.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The relationship between sleep and multilingual dreams.
B. How the brain processes language during sleep and its effects.
C. The effective ways of learning a new languages during sleep.
D. The role of the hippocampus in language learning.
D
In southeastern Brazil, local fishers walk into dark waters in search of mullet (鲻鱼). On their own, it would be tricky to find the silvery fish. But the humans get help from an unusual partner—wild bottle-nose dolphins.
With nets in hand, the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean (鲸类的) partners drive the fish toward the shore. A signal from the dolphins—usually a deep dive—indicates when they should cast their nets. This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations, lasting for more than a century.
While researchers knew humans profited from this pairing, they couldn’t confirm whether it benefited the dolphins. Now, in a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have more chances to live than those that don’t.
“Human-wildlife cooperation in general is an uncommon phenomenon at a global scale,” says Mauricio Cantor, a biologist at Oregon State University and leader of the study. “Usually humans gain the benefit, and nature pays the cost. But this interaction has been happening for over 150 years.”
Fishers were more successful when they worked with the dolphins. When dolphins were present, the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch prey (猎物) and netted nearly four times more mullet when they timed their casting with the cetaceans signals. Eighty-six percent of all 4,955 mullet caught during the study period came from their interactions at the same time—when the allies organized their actions perfectly with one another.
The study also revealed dolphins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase in survival rate over other dolphins. These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore reducing their chance of being caught in illegal fishing equipment. Besides, the dolphins can take some fish directly from the fishers harvest.
32.What do the first two paragraphs talk about concerning Brazilian fishers?
A.They trick dolphins into fishing for them.
B.They have been training dolphins over a century.
C.They harvest more fish with dolphins’ help.
D.They throw the fishing nets when dolphins are on the top of water.
33.What does Mauricio Cantor’s research show?
A.Nature supports human beings at no cost.
B.Fishers benefiting from cooperation with cetaceans is common.
C.Human-wildlife interaction is a new global trend.
D.Dolphins working with man have higher survival rate.
34.What does the underlined word “allies” refer to in paragraph 5?
A.partners B.preys C.dolphins D.researchers
35.What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A.To call on the protection of sea creatures.
B.To support development in fishing research.
C.To show a unique human-dolphin relationship.
D.To encourage fishers to better draw on dolphins.

When preparing fruit and vegetables, many people prefer to peel them. Here comes a question. 36
Fruit and vegetables are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber and some good plant chemicals. Not consuming enough of these foods is linked to an increased risk of some chronic diseases. But eating 400g of fruit and vegetables a day, as the WHO recommends, is difficult to achieve for many people. 37 They can certainly contribute. For example, nutritionally important amounts of vitamins, such as vitamin C and riboflavin (核黄素), and minerals such as iron and zine, are found in the peels of seven root vegetables: beetroot, field mustard, wild carrot, sweet potatoes, radish, ginger and white potatoes. And the US Department of Agriculture shows that unpeeled apples contain 15% more vitamin C, 267% more vitamin K, 20% more calcium, 19% more potassium and 85% more fiber than their peeled equivalents.
38 According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, uneaten food, including peels, generates 8% - 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Food rotting in landfills releases a lot of methane. New Zealand alone reports an annual wastage of 13,658 tonnes of vegetable peels and 986 tonnes of fruit peels — a country with a population of only 5.1 million people.
So why do people peel fruit and vegetables? Some must be peeled as the outer portions are inedible, don’t taste nice, are hard to clean or cause harm, such as bananas, oranges, melons, pineapples, mangoes, avocados, onion and garlic. Also peeling may be a necessary part of the recipe, for example, when making mashed potato. 39
Also, some people peel fruit and vegetables because they are concerned about pesticides (杀虫剂) on the surface. Pesticide remains are certainly left on or just below the surface, although this varies according to plant species. 40 Indeed, the US Food and Drug Administration recommends that people wash produce thoroughly under cold water and scrub it with a hard brush to remove pesticides, dirt and chemicals.
A.Is peeling a necessary step before eating?
B.There are important nutrients in the peels.
C.However, most of them can be removed by washing.
D.Are peels the most common food waste in the kitchen?
E.But many peels are edible, and yet people still peel them anyway.
F.So could consuming fruit and vegetable peels help with this issue?
G.Another reason not to discard peels is their effect on the environment.

My Family Tradition
Dear teachers and fellow classmates, I am honored to stand here and share with you my family tradition — honesty.
When I was a child, I found a wallet in the park which was filled with money. I was really excited because I could buy lots of toys. But then, I remembered what my parents had always taught me — to be honest. So I waited still for a long time until the owner finally came back. With relief and gratitude in his eyes, I felt a sense of pride and happiness.
This family tradition of honesty has a huge impact on me. I never cheat in exams and my friends trust me deeply. It is like a lighthouse, guiding me through the journey of life. Not only does it shape my character but also influences my actions and decisions.
Thank you for your listening!
