One possible version:
We were fully prepared at this point to open the safe by
force,starting with a drill.We taught the boy to put his
hands over his ears while we were drilling and to take them
off only when we shook the safe.He was sweaty and his
clothes were wet from breathing in that tiny space for so
long.But he was so calm the whole time,following our
commands and talking to us.We made a hole in the back.
It was dangerous,but I was confident that we could get him
out safely.
Then,just as we started to make the first cut,my work-
mate typed in the correct code.We'd asked the mother again
to write down any significant date and it turned out to be
her brother's birthday.We were amazed.We had been try-
ing for three hours and then all of a sudden this little boy
was standing in front of me,rubbing his eyes.His parents
were so happy that he was out.He had a hug with his tear-
ful mother,a check-up from the doctor,and then went for a
shower happily

人与自然—
在实验室里生产
类似木材的植物材料
Each year,the world loses about 10 million
hectares of forest-an area about the size of
Iceland-because of cutting down trees.At that
rate,some scientists predict the world's forests
could disappear in 100 to 200 years.To handle
it,now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT)have pioneered a technique
to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab.
This makes it possible to“grow”a wooden
product without cutting down trees.
In the lab,the researchers first take cells
from the leaves of a young plant.These cells are
cultured in liquid medium for two days,and
then moved to another medium which contains
nutrients and two different hormones.By
adjusting the hormone levels,the researchers
can tune the physical and mechanical qualities
of the cells.Next,the researchers use a 3D
printer to shape the cell-based material,and let
the shaped material grow in the dark for three
months.Finally,the researchers dehydrate the
material,and then evaluate its qualities.
They find that lower hormone levels lead to
plant materials with more rounded,open cells of
lower density,while higher hormone levels
contribute to the growth of plant materials with
smaller but denser cell structures.Lower or
higher density of cell structures makes the plant
materials softer or more rigid,helping the
materials grow with different wood-like
characteristics.What's more,it's to be noted
that the research process is about 100 times
faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to
maturity!
Research of this kind is ground-breaking.

technology,"says lead researcher,Jeffrey
Borenstein."The real opportunity here is to be
at its best with what you use and how you use it.
This technology can be tuned to meet the
requirements you give about shapes,sizes,
rigidity,and forms.It enables us to 'grow'any
wooden product in a way that traditional
agricultural methods can't achieve.
1.Why do researchers at MIT conduct the research?
A.To grow more trees.
B.To reduce tree losses.
C.To protect plant diversity.
D.To predict forest disappearance.
2.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about
the lab research?
A.Its key procedures.
B.Its theoretical basis.
C.Its usual difficulties.
D.Its scientific evidence.
3.What does the finding suggest about the plant
materials?
A.The hormone levels affect their rigidity.
B.They are better than naturally grown plants.
C.Their cells'shapes mainly rely on their density.
D.Their growth speed determines their character-
istics.
4.Why is the research ground-breaking according
to Borenstein?
A.It uses new biological materials in lab
experiments.
B.It revolutionizes the way to make wooden
products.
C.It challenges traditional scientific theories
in forestry.
D.It has a significant impact on worldwide
plant growth.

Tai chi,a gentle martial art originating
from China and involving slow movements with a
focus on breathing and on what your body is
doing in that moment,provides numerous
benefits for both physical and mental well-being.
Here are five convincing reasons to bring tai chi
into your routine.
●It's easy on the body.
Tai chi offers gentle exercise suitable for
individuals of all ages and fitness levels.1
as muscles remain relaxed without any stretching
or straining.It's an exercise that can be easily
done for less able people,including those in
wheelchairs.
OIt could prevent falls.
A review of studies conducted in 2019
indicated that tai chi could lower the risk of falls
among older people.Certainly,the emphasis is
on balance,with sideways and backward
movements aiding in the strengthening of the
muscles necessary for stability.2
O It may boost brain power.
3.Research shows that practicing tai
chi on a regular basis can enhance cognitive
abilities in older adults,both those with and
without memory issues.Given that it's
considered safe and suitable for the elderly,this
is a definite win.
●4·
A reduction in stress and anxiety,along
with an increase in confidence,is another
mental health benefit of tai chi,as indicated by
research findings,though further research is
needed to comprehensively understand and
confirm these effects.
●You can do it at home.
Attending classes can be beneficial for
receiving structured instruction and connecting
with like-minded individuals.5,providing
an alternative for practicing at home.You're
bound to find one that matches your fitness level
and exercise preferences.Practicing tai chi at
home can also offer unparalleled convenience
and flexibility.
A.It has the feel-good factor
B.It can improve heart health
C.The benefits aren't just physical
D.But there are videos available online too
E.They also improve flexibility and spatial
awareness
F.Its low-impact nature minimizes the risk
of joint injury
G.You can share experiences with these people
