seen on the paddle-the special design for Australia's Paralvmpic team For McGrath,this pattern,

after losing his legs.It seems symbolic of the idea that talking can support recovering
Many people find it difficult te talk about serious illness or injury.Serious injuries,like
McGrath's,come with a complex range of emotions including anger,denial,and depression.But
sharing such emotions and talking about injuries can help people to manage them
"For me,to have a good support network around me helped me get through those tough times,"
McGrath said during an interview in 2018.Understandably,many people with serious injuries find
it easier to talk with others going through the same or a similar experience.This can bring a fuller
level of understanding that helps people live with their injury on practical and emotional levels.
"Six months after I got hurt,I got to see people who'd been injured doing things that I didn't
think were possible,"says McGrath.Inspired,b:tried a few sports before finding his passion for
paracanoeing,which he pursued at the Invictus Gamesin London,2014.His efforts led him to win
multiple gold medals at the Paralympic Games and World Chatupionships.

he's not atraid to openly discuss his suffering."It's important to remember that the hard times never

Cities worldwide are witnessing a transformation in urban environments Wildlife populations
in cities are not only surviving but often surpassing those in rural areas.Urban bird populations in
cities like Berlin have increased by over 40%in the past two decades.These aren't just typical
pigeons and sparrows,but hawks and owls,and even non-native species that have found urban
environments surprisingly pleasant.
The urban heat island effect,often seen as a negative consequence of city development,creates
micro climates many species find irresistible.Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons,
provide frost-free zones,and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block.Urban
environments also offer abundant food resource.Raccoon in Toronto have learned some techniques
to open garbage cans.The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature
create what ecologists call "urban ecological release."
Urban wildlife's boom not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans.
Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune
diseases.Mental health benefits are equally impressive:urban residents who encounter wildlife
report lower stress and improved mood.Yet this boom isn't all positive.Urban animals are
developing behaviour changes-increased aggression and interrupted migration routes.Disease
spread is also critical as populations grow more crowded,threatening humans and animals alike.
Forward-thinking cities are pioneering architectural innovations.Green roofs in Copenhagen
aren't just for beauty-they're functioning ecosystems supporting plants,insects,and birds,cutting
energy costs by up to 30%while providing paths for wildlife to move.Wildlife bridges like Ecoduct
de Woeste Hoeve let over 5,000 deer cross highways safely,reducing wildlife-vehicle accidents by
80%.
The future ot urban wildlife coexistence is promising,driven by tech advances and public
awareness-smart tech enables wildlife monitoring,and innovative designs create shared livable
spaces.Emerging biotech may revolutionize management:genetic tools help study urban animal
adaptation,aiding threatened species.The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems.As
urbanization grows,coexistence lessons grow more valuable.The question isn t whether we can
live alongside urban wildlife-it's whether we dare to embrace the possibilities this partnership
offers.
8.What can we know about urban wildlife from Paragraph 1?
A.They are mainly from rural areas.
B.They have grown in diversity.
3/8
C They have adapted to urban pollution.
D They tend to avoid human contact.
9 Why is"urban ecological release"mentioned?
A.To present a new ecological concept.
B.To stress the constant city development.
C.To explain the reduced ecological harm.
D.To show the wildlife-friendliness ot ciues.
10.What can the urban wHdlife boom bring?
A.Lowered rates of disease spread.
B.Impressive migration routes of wildlife.
C.An improved sense of well-being.
D.Positive behavioural changes in wildlife.
11.What is crucial for urbar wildlife coexistence?
A.A slower pace of urbanization.
B.Adjustment to existing ecosystems.
C.An adaptive mindset of coexistence.
D.Advanced biological technologies.

A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide.Referred to as
matrix planting.this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden,
and even some of the designing.Eschewing fertilizers()and power tools,it's based on an
elegantly sumple principle:to garden more like nature does.
The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after
World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance.Planners created
planting mixes that could be used modularly ()In a matrix garden,plants with similar
cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground,forming a
cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourage weeds.
Dutch plantsman and designer Fiet Oudolf's gardens popularized this style,adding artistic
flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form.including four-season interest and
serving the needs of wildlife.Beautiful year-round,they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail,from
the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture ef odd-looking seed heads,
It takes a lot of thought to look this natural.While matrix gardens appear wild,they are
carefully planned,with cultural needs the first consideration.Led by the conceprof"right plant,
right place,"they match plants that enjoy the same soil,sun and weather conditions,and arrange
them according to their patterns of growth.
The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet.With human inputs dramatically
reduced,the garden's ecology can develop well.Established matrix gardens should not need the life
support we give most gardens:fertilizer,dividing,regular watering.Compared to traditional garden
plots,they increase carbon absorption,reduce stommwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity
significantly.
12.What does the underlined word"Eschewing'in the first paragraph mean?
A.Keeping away from.
B.Iaking advantage of.
C.Running out of.
D.Putting up with.
418
13.Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced?
A.To bring in foreign species of plants
B.To develop low-maintenance parkland.
C.To control weeds in large gardens.
D.To conserve soil and water resources.
14.Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf's gardeus?
A.Well-protected.
B.Odd-looking.
C.Fraditional.
D.Tasteful.
15.Which of the following can be a suitable titte for the text?
A.Nature treats all lives as EQUALS
B.Old garden plots work WONDERS-
C.Matrix gardens need more ARE
D.The future of gardening is WILD

Whether you're in class or at work,you might ever be told to stop daydreaming and
concentrate.It's easy for your mind to wander if you aren't interested in what you're doing or have
better things to think about.16.Understanding how to do it can help.Scientists have looked at
what puts people off and found ways to help stay in the zone.
17Research by BBC Science Focus magazine revealed that silence is best for
concentration and that the soft background music is great!It also found turning off notifications on
your phone,or switching it off altogether,removes a major distraction and helps to focus on the task
at hand.
Another possible cure for a short attention span(持续时间)is brain training.Psychologists
and scientists are increasingly interested in human ability to get down to work and have looked at
what people can change inside the head to become concentrated.They have proved making a task
more visually demanding takes up more processing power.18 So,keeping your mind busy
might be the answer.
There are more practical tips on keeping your mind focusea.19 Finding a workspace
where you're not attracted to do other things is also advisable,or chewing some snacks.It's possible
that the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise
But according to BBC Science Focus magazine,distraction isn't all bad.-20 If you are
always so focused that you never get distracted,you'd miss potential changes,such as threats,in the
environment.
A.It is vital for survival.
B.Many people struggle with disturbance
C.Getting rid of noise is one of the most obvious means.
D.Try making a list or timetable of tasks you have to do.
E.A comfortable environment is useful for concentration.
F.Staying focused can be a challenge for people at any stage.
G.That leaves the brain occupied and unable to process irrelevant things
