Gardening leave
What would you do if you were suddenly given two months’ paid leave? Well, most people in England would do some gardening.
Just imagine the situation. Carol has just resigned (辞职) from her job at a computer software company. At first, the company is surprised as she is one of their top program developers. But then they start to 1 . What if she copies some data and takes them away with her? Carol still has 30 days to serve at the company. But now they don’t want her in the office because they need to keep the company data 2 . So, they told her to take “gardening leave”—she still receives a pay check, but is not 3 to come into the office.
The term “gardening leave” describes the period of time when an employee is still on the payroll (薪水册), but can’t come into the office. “Gardening leave” is often given to employees who have important 4 within the company, especially if they are leaving to join a competitor. But why “gardening”? Actually, in the UK, gardening is one of the top activities during the 5 time. So, the idea is that while you’re sitting at home waiting for your contract (合同) to come to an end, you do a bit of gardening.
“Gardening leave” is often given to Formula One motor racing technicians who move between teams. If they say they are leaving, they are 6 put on “gardening leave”. This is to stop them from taking important information.

【导语】本文介绍了“园艺假”这一职场术语,指员工离职前仍领薪水但无需到岗的时期,目的是防止员工带走公司重要信息。
1.句意:但随后他们开始担心。
上文卡罗尔是顶级程序员,公司担心她带走数据,可知公司开始“担心”,worry“担心”符合。relax“放松”、think“想”、celebrate“庆祝”与担忧情绪不符。
2.句意:但是现在他们不想她待在办公室,因为他们需要保持公司数据安全。
公司不让卡罗尔进办公室是为了确保数据“安全”,safe“安全的”符合。clean“干净的”、alone“单独的”、unknown“未知的”与数据保护的目的不符。
3.句意:因此,他们让她休“园艺假”——仍然领薪水,但不被允许来办公室。
根据上下文公司不让她进办公室,可知她“不被允许”来上班,allowed“允许”符合,且为否定形式not allowed“不被允许”。advised“建议”、asked“要求”、arranged“安排”与被迫离开的语境不符。
4.句意:“园艺假”通常会给予那些在公司内担任重要职位的员工,尤其是当他们即将离职加入竞争对手公司时。
根据下文尤其当他们要去竞争对手公司时,可知这些员工在公司有“重要职位”,positions“职位”符合。products“产品”、salaries“薪水”、images“形象”与离职保密需求不符。
5.句意:实际上,在英国,园艺是空闲时间的主要活动之一。
根据上文在家等待合同到期时做园艺,可知是利用“空闲”时间,spare“空闲的”符合。busy“忙碌的”、hard“辛苦的”、tea“茶”与园艺活动的时间不符。
6.句意:如果他们说他们要离开,他们会立即被安排休“园艺假”。
根据下文防止他们带走信息,可知一旦提出离职就“立即”安排休假,immediately“立即”符合。finally“最终”、completely“完全地”、especially“特别地”与快速反应不符。

【导语】本文讲述了医生Zhong Jing放弃城市工作,扎根贵州乡村十五年,自建诊所、全心守护村民健康,用善良与医术赢得信任与爱戴的感人故事,展现了她无私奉献、坚守使命的高尚品质。
1.句意:十五年前,她做了一个重大的决定。

2.句意:这使得人们随时都可以来找她,无论白天黑夜。
根据“把诊所当成家”,可知她允许村民任何时间前来就医。应选用allows,意为“允许”。encourages意为“鼓励”,expects意为“期待”,requires意为“要求”,均不符合。
3.句意:她成功地设法提高了村民的健康意识。
根据“successfully”以及后文村民观念改变,可知她成功做到了。应选用managed,意为“设法做成”。hoped意为“希望”,tried意为“尽力”,decided意为“决定”,均不强调成功结果。

根据后文“扩建诊所、开展健康讲座、建立电子健康档案”,可知她一直在改进、提升服务。应选用improving,意为“提升、改进”。learning意为“学习”,working意为“工作”,developing意为“发展”,均不如improving贴合语境。
6.句意:对Zhong Jing来说,她的使命依然简单而明确:守护村里每个人的健康。

10 Ways to Lose Weight. 8 Habits of Highly Successful People. 6 Ways to Get Rich Fast.
Everywhere you look these days, there are lists. In fact, most online articles seem to be made up of lists. So, why are they so 1 ?
They’re short.
Every day we’re faced with information. However, reading a list is easy as the information is divided up into little points.
They’re finite (有限的).
With a list, there’s a clear end 2 . For example, with an article on 10 ways to make a million, you know there are only 10 points to read—not 10,000.
They’re 3 .
The person who wrote the list has already organized the information for you, and has spent some time thinking about the most important points related to the topic. So, you only get the most relevant (相关的) information.
They’ re effective.
Having ideas in a list is a quick and easy way to get the information you want. Imagine you’re 4 visiting Los Angeles and you just want the basic facts. What would you rather read: a one-page article with the title The Top 10 Things to Do in Los Angeles, or a 200-page book titled Everything You Need to Know About Los Angeles?
They’re easy to read.
Lists are often written in simple, basic language. Plus, it’s so much 5 to find important points from a list compared to a big chunk of text.
They’re fun.
The Top 10 Funniest Jokes, 20 Songs People Love to Sing in the Shower ... Lists are often about fun things, so you’ll enjoy reading them. What’s more, you can compare the list to your own list, and think about what you’d 6 or add.
In an ever more complex (复杂的) world, it’s nice to have something that’s easy!
1.A.famous B.interesting C.ordinary D.popular
2.A.in person B.in public C.in time D.in sight
3.A.colorful B.helpful C.meaningful D.powerful
4.A.good at B.in favor of C.interested in D.satisfied with
5.A.clearer B.better C.easier D.smarter
6.A.change B.like C.make D.write
【答案】1.D 2.D 3.B 4.C 5.C 6.A
【导语】本文分析了网络文章中“清单式”内容流行的原因。
1.句意:那么,它们为什么如此受欢迎呢?
根据前文“Everywhere you look these days, there are lists…”可知清单随处可见,被大量使用,下文从六个方面解释了清单受欢迎的原因,因此popular“流行的,受欢迎的”符合语境。famous“著名的”侧重名气大,interesting“有趣的”侧重趣味性,ordinary“普通的”均与清单流行的语境无关。
2.句意:对于一份清单来说,清晰的终点近在眼前。
根据本段小标题“They’re finite (有限的)”及后文“For example, with an article… not 10,000.”可知清单有清晰可见的终点,in sight“看得见的”符合语境。in person“亲自”,in public“公开地”,in time“及时”均与清单终点的语境无关。
3.句意:它们是有帮助的。
此句为段落小标题,后文介绍清单会为读者梳理整合信息,只保留核心相关内容,因此helpful“有帮助的”契合文意。colorful“丰富多彩的”,meaningful“有意义的”,powerful“强大的”均未体现清单整理信息、为读者提供便利这一具体作用。
4.句意:想象一下你对游览洛杉矶感兴趣,你只想要基本事实。
根据后文“visiting Los Angeles and you just want the basic facts”可知此处假设你有游览意愿,因此只想快速获取基本信息,interested in“对……感兴趣”符合语境。good at“擅长”、in favor of“支持”、satisfied with“对……满意”均与想要了解洛杉矶基本信息的语境无关。
5.句意:另外,与一大段文本相比,从清单中找到重要点要容易得多。
本段小标题为“They’re easy to read”,根据前文“Lists are often written in simple, basic language.”可知清单语言简单易读,因此与大段文本相比,从清单中找到重点更容易,easier“更容易的”与段落主题直接呼应。clearer“更清晰的”,better“更好的”,smarter“更聪明的”,均未体现“容易找到”的对比含义。
6.句意:更重要的是,你可以将清单与你自己的清单进行比较,思考你会修改或添加什么。
根据后文“or add”可知此处表示与“添加”并列的动作,change“改变,修改”与add构成合理并列,表示读者对照自己的清单,思考哪些地方要修改、哪些地方要补充。like“喜欢”,make“制作”,write“写”均与修改或添加的动作语境无关。
Is Drinking Juice a Wise Choice?
Juice tastes good. Many people, 1 kids, love drinking it. But is it wise and healthy to regularly drink juice? We asked three experts for their opinions.
Bec Reynolds, a nutritionist (营养学家)
Drinking water is the best choice. However, if you don’t like it and cannot drink milk, then it’s better to drink juice than to have drinks that are “worse”, like soft drinks. Both juice and soft drinks are sugary, but juice often contains some vitamins.
It would be better to drink juice that has been made from many different vegetables. Fewer than one in 100 children eat 2 vegetables and vegetables are very important for the growth of your body.
David Manton, a 3
There are two main problems with drinking fruit juice. First, the sugar in it feeds the bacteria (细菌) on your teeth. These bacteria can 4 causing tooth decay (蛀牙). Here in Australia, nearly half of all six-year-olds have at least one hole in their teeth. Drinks like fruit juice are part of the reason for this.
Second, the acid in many different fruit juices can destroy the hard outer coating (覆盖层) of your teeth. Once it’s gone, it can’t grow back.
Sandro Demaio, a doctor
Fruits like oranges and apples contain fiber (纤维素). Fiber has many health 5 . First it slows down our eating. Second, it makes us feel full for longer. And third, it slows the release of the sugars from the fruit into our blood. This helps to reduce our chances of gaining weight which can lead to many health problems.
When we turn apples into apple juice, we remove most of the fiber. Sometimes, even the vitamins are lost. What we don’t lose, though, is the sugar.
6 , it’s best not to drink juice.

4.句意:这些细菌最终会引发蛀牙。
根据原文“the sugar in it feeds the bacteria on your teeth. These bacteria can ___ causing tooth decay”,此处表达糖分滋养细菌后,细菌带来的最终结果就是蛀牙,end up符合语义。focus on专注于,put off推迟,think about思考,均不符合此处语境。
5.句意:纤维素有很多对健康的益处。
根据后文介绍纤维素的作用,原文“First it slows down our eating. Second, it makes us feel full for longer. And third, it slows the release of the sugars from the fruit into our blood. This helps to reduce our chances of gaining weight which can lead to many health problems”,这些都是纤维素带来的健康好处,benefits“益处”符合语义。solutions解决方案,organizations组织,problems问题,均不符合语境。
6.句意:综上所述,最好不要喝果汁。
根据前文介绍了果汁损伤牙齿、丢失纤维素糖分过多等诸多弊端,此处是总结全文观点,In conclusion“总而言之”符合语义。Besides此外,However然而,For example例如,均不符合此处总结观点的逻辑。
Should photos be banned in art galleries?
The Frick Collection is a famous gallery (美术馆) in New York. Walking through the galleries is like travelling back in time. Recently, the gallery decided to make a (an) 1 : it decided to ban (禁止) photography in its galleries. Some art fans are glad there won’t be lots of people holding up cameras, but others say the new rule isn’t fair. What do you think?

Galleries can help us 2 with art and awaken our senses. When visitors keep trying to take photos in galleries, they miss out on making the most of the beautiful art. Getting the most from art takes full attention— theaters, 3 , use darkness to focus the audience’s attention. Without screens visitors can really look at the artworks and focus on how each piece makes them feel. A no-photo rule might also 4 the crowds around the most famous artworks, where people wait to get the perfect photo. Gift stores benefit too because when visitors buy some souvenirs instead of taking photos, it makes money for the galleries and helps them stay open.No—taking photos is part of modern life
Photos allow visitors to share experiences such as enjoying art with friends or family who aren’t there. Also, it requires 5 to truly understand the piece of art. But if the gallery is busy, you can’t stop in front of a display for ages. Having photos of their favourite pieces allows visitors to revisit and reflect on what they’ve seen after they have left the gallery. Besides, smartphones can offer a chance to get the 6 experience through gallery apps and QR codes, which provide more information about artworks and artists. Galleries can maintain their vitality by means of these modern facilities.

Stagehand Superstar
Every kid wanted to play the Big Bad Wolf, but not Stella. Sure, the Wolf got to yell, “I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in!” But Stella knew who really brought the house down—the stagehand!
Stella was wearing all black. She quickly, but quietly, put the houses and trees onto the dark stage. She stayed behind the cardboard tree between the straw house and the stick house. The stage lights 1 .
“Little pig, little pig, let me come in!” Brad, the wolf, shouted. He pretended to knock on the straw house. 2 the house was really just painted cloth, Stella knocked loudly on the floor.
After Brad’s biggest puff, Stella made the cardboard tree fall down, followed by the straw house. Audience cheered. The wolf—but really Stella—easily made the stick house fall down, too.
But no amount of huffing and puffing would make that brick house 3 . “I’ll sneak down the chimney and get those piggies!” Brad growled in a stage whisper loud enough for the whole audience to hear. Brad climbed up a ladder behind the set. From the front, it looked like he was on the chimney.
Paige, the pig, cried out, “Let’s build a fire to scare away that mean old wolf!” Real fire would be way too dangerous. That’s 4 they needed Stella. Paige knelt beside the fireplace. Stella turned on a red light and a fan. Glowing tissue paper strips rose up from the cardboard logs. Someone in the audience gasped (倒吸气). The fake fire looked very real indeed.
“My tail!” Brad howled. He climbed down the ladder and ran away. The pigs high-fived. The victorious music played. The actors lined up and bowed. The crowd burst into applause and jumped to their feet.
Stella stayed 5 , but she knew the applause was for her, too. Stella had played her part so perfectly that the audience 6 knew she was there. They just enjoyed the magic of the theater. But Stella, the stagehand, was the one making that magic.

The plane reaches 12,000 feet, right over the flat landing point. A green light begins 2 on the wall right in front of him, a signal that the pilot has given his OK for the jump to start. Though Jones will be managing his parachute (降落伞) himself, he will not be 3 .

重难语篇练习
Close your eyes. Try to bring back a memory of taking an exam in your worst subject with your strictest teacher.
You probably remember looking at the paper, feeling you didn’t know any of the answers. Your heart was beating fast...
Not 1 , you think that experience made you feel upset and nervous.
But maybe it didn’t have to be that way. A paper in Nature reports that a one-time online mindset exercise improved the way young people thought about stressful events and their uncomfortable responses. The exercise is based on two mindsets: First, ability is not fixed but can be improved with effort and support; second, body responses to stress can be 2 . As students work through the exercise themselves, they read information about how the brain builds on experience and how the body makes use of stress, for example, a fast-beating heart tends to send more blood to the brain to help you think. The exercise also 3 ways to succeed in stressful situations, and it asks students to write about what they might do differently next time.
Researchers invited thousands of high school and college students to take the exercise. The findings show that this exercise appears to be able to change our understanding of the world around us and our responses to it. Compared with those who didn’t take the exercise, students who took part thought about stress differently, turning it into a way of energizing the motivation to achieve their goal. 4 , the exercise changed their body responses for the better, preparing the body to respond to events as a challenge rather than a threat.
“Difficulty and struggle are your friends,” says Christopher Bryan, a social psychologist and one of the researchers.
Those experiences don’t feel good in the moment, but it’s the path anyone who became truly excellent at anything had to travel.
The exercise could be put into further 5 . It could be specially made for athletes or office workers in the future.
Once it has been fully 6 , the exercise could be ready for use in high schools and colleges nationwide.
The researchers don’t just want young people to rethink stress; they want adults to rethink young people.
“Our studies advise that we should not teach young people that they are too weak to get over difficulties, but that we should, instead, provide them with resources and guidance so that young people can show their skills and creativity in dealing with big problems,” they write in the paper.

It was a February afternoon in a Brooklyn classroom. Sixteen-year-old Taylor Engler came face to face with a cow, but it was all in her head. Taylor and her classmates were transported by a virtual reality (VR) headset to a 1 250 miles away. For students, the technology means field trips are no longer limited by the length of a bus ride. “I was not expecting it to be right in my face!” That’s what Taylor said after taking off the headset and finding herself back in the classroom.
On any school day, students can take virtual reality “trips”. They can enjoy deep-sea diving. They can 2 operations in hospitals. They can visit the Science Museum in London. Teachers say it’s a good way to involve the iPhone generation in classroom learning and it can help with their 3 and improve their grades. Colin Jones, a science teacher, has walked students through the northern forest with a Google app called Expeditions (探险/远征). “It can be done in a period or two with the help of the new technology,” he said. “But sometimes it could take even a week to take a 4 expedition.”
“It’s different from watching videos. You can actually move,” Taylor said during the lesson on farm animals. “Not only move, you can feel as well,” said Richard Lamb. He studies how brains deal with information. “Your physiological (生理的) reactions in virtual reality are similar to what you get in doing the actual activity.” Lamb said. “Heart rate, breathing... everything.”
John Miller, a chemistry teacher, 5 believes VR technology provides students with a huge learning opportunity. “Students did something wrong in their chemistry experiments too often in schools, but we don’t have enough materials for them to redo the experiments. In virtual reality, all they do is to hit ‘reset’ on the computer. They don’t have to actually use the chemicals in the lab.”
Miller and some other experts stressed that the technology could help students 6 real-world experiences instead of replacing them. “We have to remain anchored (立足) in the world we are living in.”
1.A.zoo B.farm C.circus D.museum
2.A.perform B.observe C.discuss D.have
3.A.attitude B.progress C.understanding D.communication
4.A.fun B.real C.long D.terrible
5.A.never B.even C.also D.especially
6.A.enrich B.gain C.create D.imagine
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.C 4.B 5.C 6.A
【导语】本文主要介绍了虚拟现实(VR)技术在教育领域的应用以及该技术与现实世界体验的关系。
1.句意:泰勒和她的同学被一个虚拟现实头戴设备传送到了250英里外的一个农场。
根据前文“came face to face with a cow”及“it was all in her head.”可知,通过VR去了农场farm。
2.句意:他们可以观察医院里的手术。
结合“students can take virtual reality ‘trips’”可知,学生通过VR在医院应该是“观察”手术。observe意为“观察”。
3.句意:老师说这是让“iPhone一代”参与课堂学习的好方法,并且它可以帮助他们理解并提高他们的成绩。
根据“involve...into classroom learning”和“it can help with their...and improve their grades.”可知,是在课堂知识学习的理解方面帮助学生,从而取得好成绩。understanding意为“理解”
4.句意:但是有时进行一次真正的实地考察甚至可能需要一周时间。
结合前句“walked students through the northern forest with a Google app”和“It can be done in a period or two with the help of the new technology”及后面由But引导的句子可知,前后是一个对比,后面是真正的实地考察花费时间长。real意为“真正的”。
5.句意:化学老师约翰·米勒也相信虚拟现实技术为学生提供了巨大的学习机会。
根据前文讲述学生和老师对于虚拟现实技术的认可,这里通过化学老师的观点“VR technology provides...a huge learning opportunity.”可知, 化学老师也认可这个技术。also意为“也”。
6.句意:米勒和其他的一些专家强调,这个技术可以帮助学生丰富现实世界的体验,而不是取代它们。
由“instead of replacing them”可知,VR技术不能取代学生现实世界的体验,而是帮助更好体验,丰富体验,enrich意为“丰富”,符合句意。

But then they start to 1 . What if she copies some data and takes them away with her? Carol still has 30 days to serve at the company.

[1] Zhong Jing is a 40-year-old doctor with a big heart. Fifteen years ago, she made a big 1 . She left her job as a doctor in a city hospital and moved to Longhe, a small rural village in Guizhou province. The village had no clinic, and its 3,000 residents had very little access to medical care. At first, the villagers were unsure and did not trust the new doctor. However, Zhong Jing was determined to help. She used all her life savings to build the village’s very first clinic because she had seen how much the people, especially the elderly, were struggling with their health.
[2] Since then, her life has been devoted to the villagers. She works in her clinic every single day and has even made it her home. This 2 people to come to her at any time, day or night. A key part of her work involves home visits for patients with long-term, or chronic, illnesses who cannot travel. She walks long distances to see them. Over time, her kindness and skill won the villagers’ trust completely.
[3] Zhong Jing has done more than just treat illnesses; she has taught the community how to prevent them. She has successfully 3 to improve the villagers’ health awareness. In the past, people only looked for help when they were very sick. Now, they understand how to take better care of themselves.

10 Ways to Lose Weight. 8 Habits of Highly Successful People. 6 Ways to Get Rich Fast.
Everywhere you look these days, there are lists. In fact, most online articles seem to be made up of lists. So, why are they so 1 ?
They’re short.
Every day we’re faced with information. However, reading a list is easy as the information is divided up into little points.
They’re finite (有限的).
With a list, there’s a clear end 2 . For example, with an article on 10 ways to make a million, you know there are only 10 points to read—not 10,000.
They’re 3 .
The person who wrote the list has already organized the information for you, and has spent some time thinking about the most important points related to the topic. So, you only get the most relevant (相关的) information.
They’ re effective.
Having ideas in a list is a quick and easy way to get the information you want. Imagine you’re 4 visiting Los Angeles and you just want the basic facts. What would you rather read: a one-page article with the title The Top 10 Things to Do in Los Angeles, or a 200-page book titled Everything You Need to Know About Los Angeles?
They’re easy to read.
Lists are often written in simple, basic language. Plus, it’s so much 5 to find important points from a list compared to a big chunk of text.
They’re fun.
The Top 10 Funniest Jokes, 20 Songs People Love to Sing in the Shower ... Lists are often about fun things, so you’ll enjoy reading them. What’s more, you can compare the list to your own list, and think about what you’d 6 or add.
In an ever more complex (复杂的) world, it’s nice to have something that’s easy!

2.A.in person B.in public C.in time D.in sight
3.A.colorful B.helpful C.meaningful D.powerful

Is Drinking Juice a Wise Choice?
Juice tastes good. Many people, 1 kids, love drinking it. But is it wise and healthy to regularly drink juice? We asked three experts for their opinions.
Bec Reynolds, a nutritionist (营养学家)
Drinking water is the best choice. However, if you don’t like it and cannot drink milk, then it’s better to drink juice than to have drinks that are “worse”, like soft drinks. Both juice and soft drinks are sugary, but juice often contains some vitamins.
It would be better to drink juice that has been made from many different vegetables. Fewer than one in 100 children eat 2 vegetables and vegetables are very important for the growth of your body.
David Manton, a 3
There are two main problems with drinking fruit juice. First, the sugar in it feeds the bacteria (细菌) on your teeth. These bacteria can 4 causing tooth decay (蛀牙). Here in Australia, nearly half of all six-year-olds have at least one hole in their teeth. Drinks like fruit juice are part of the reason for this.
Second, the acid in many different fruit juices can destroy the hard outer coating (覆盖层) of your teeth. Once it’s gone, it can’t grow back.
Sandro Demaio, a doctor
Fruits like oranges and apples contain fiber (纤维素). Fiber has many health 5 . First it slows down our eating. Second, it makes us feel full for longer. And third, it slows the release of the sugars from the fruit into our blood. This helps to reduce our chances of gaining weight which can lead to many health problems.
When we turn apples into apple juice, we remove most of the fiber. Sometimes, even the vitamins are lost. What we don’t lose, though, is the sugar.
6 , it’s best not to drink juice.
1.A.only B.possibly C.suddenly D.especially
2.A.fresh B.boiled C.enough D.seasonal

Should photos be banned in art galleries?
The Frick Collection is a famous gallery (美术馆) in New York. Walking through the galleries is like travelling back in time. Recently, the gallery decided to make a (an) 1 : it decided to ban (禁止) photography in its galleries. Some art fans are glad there won’t be lots of people holding up cameras, but others say the new rule isn’t fair. What do you think? Should taking photos be banned in galleries?Yes—it spoils the experience
Galleries can help us 2 with art and awaken our senses. When visitors keep trying to take photos in galleries, they miss out on making the most of the beautiful art. Getting the most from art takes full attention— theaters, 3 , use darkness to focus the audience’s attention. Without screens visitors can really look at the artworks and focus on how each piece makes them feel. A no-photo rule might also 4 the crowds around the most famous artworks, where people wait to get the perfect photo. Gift stores benefit too because when visitors buy some souvenirs instead of taking photos, it makes money for the galleries and helps them stay open.No—taking photos is part of modern life
Photos allow visitors to share experiences such as enjoying art with friends or family who aren’t there. Also, it requires 5 to truly understand the piece of art. But if the gallery is busy, you can’t stop in front of a display for ages. Having photos of their favourite pieces allows visitors to revisit and reflect on what they’ve seen after they have left the gallery. Besides, smartphones can offer a chance to get the 6 experience through gallery apps and QR codes, which provide more information about artworks and artists. Galleries can maintain their vitality by means of these modern facilities.

Yang Zhenning was a physicist well-known throughout the world. He was born in Anhui in 1922. His father was a mathematics teacher at Tsinghua University, so Yang grew up in Tsinghua Garden. 1 by his father, he became interested in science at an early age. As a student, he was very hard-working and always asked questions in class. Later, he studied at Southwest Associated University, a well-known school during that time, and went to the US for 2 in 1945 to learn more about advanced physics.
In 1957, at the age of 35, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics with his partner Li Zhengdao. This made him the first Chinese scientist to win this prize in the field of physics. They discovered the “parity non-conservation” theory (理论), which 3 people’s understanding of physics greatly. He also put forward important theories like “Yang-Mills Theory”, which became the foundation (基础) of modern physics and helped other scientists make more important discoveries in space and energy.
Yang always loved his country deeply. In 1971, he came back to China for the first time after many years of living abroad. He built a bridge for academic exchanges between China and the US. Many Chinese scientists got help from him to study 4 and bring back useful knowledge to serve China. In 2003, he settled back in Tsinghua University and taught students himself. He was kind to his students, often stayed after class to answer their questions, and shared his research experience 5 . He also gave useful advice for China’s science development, like helping build modern research centers and supporting young scientists.
In 2015, he 6 his US nationality and gained Chinese nationality again, showing his deep love for his motherland. He once said his greatest contribution (贡献) was increasing Chinese people’s confidence in science.
Yang Zhenning died on October 18, 2025. This great man, who contributed so much to his country and the world of physics, will always be remembered.

Stagehand Superstar
Every kid wanted to play the Big Bad Wolf, but not Stella. Sure, the Wolf got to yell, “I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in!” But Stella knew who really brought the house down—the stagehand!
Stella was wearing all black. She quickly, but quietly, put the houses and trees onto the dark stage. She stayed behind the cardboard tree between the straw house and the stick house. The stage lights 1 .
“Little pig, little pig, let me come in!” Brad, the wolf, shouted. He pretended to knock on the straw house. 2 the house was really just painted cloth, Stella knocked loudly on the floor.
After Brad’s biggest puff, Stella made the cardboard tree fall down, followed by the straw house. Audience cheered. The wolf—but really Stella—easily made the stick house fall down, too.
But no amount of huffing and puffing would make that brick house 3 . “I’ll sneak down the chimney and get those piggies!” Brad growled in a stage whisper loud enough for the whole audience to hear. Brad climbed up a ladder behind the set. From the front, it looked like he was on the chimney.
Paige, the pig, cried out, “Let’s build a fire to scare away that mean old wolf!” Real fire would be way too dangerous. That’s 4 they needed Stella. Paige knelt beside the fireplace. Stella turned on a red light and a fan. Glowing tissue paper strips rose up from the cardboard logs. Someone in the audience gasped (倒吸气). The fake fire looked very real indeed.
“My tail!” Brad howled. He climbed down the ladder and ran away. The pigs high-fived. The victorious music played. The actors lined up and bowed. The crowd burst into applause and jumped to their feet.
Stella stayed 5 , but she knew the applause was for her, too. Stella had played her part so perfectly that the audience 6 knew she was there. They just enjoyed the magic of the theater. But Stella, the stagehand, was the one making that magic.

“Difficulty and struggle are your friends,” says Christopher Bryan, a social psychologist and one of the researchers.
Those experiences don’t feel good in the moment, but it’s the path anyone who became truly excellent at anything had to travel.
The exercise could be put into further 5 . It could be specially made for athletes or office workers in the future.
Once it has been fully 6 , the exercise could be ready for use in high schools and colleges nationwide.
The researchers don’t just want young people to rethink stress; they want adults to rethink young people.
“Our studies advise that we should not teach young people that they are too weak to get over difficulties, but that we should, instead, provide them with resources and guidance so that young people can show their skills and creativity in dealing with big problems,” they write in the paper.

It was a February afternoon in a Brooklyn classroom. Sixteen-year-old Taylor Engler came face to face with a cow, but it was all in her head. Taylor and her classmates were transported by a virtual reality (VR) headset to a 1 250 miles away. For students, the technology means field trips are no longer limited by the length of a bus ride. “I was not expecting it to be right in my face!” That’s what Taylor said after taking off the headset and finding herself back in the classroom.
On any school day, students can take virtual reality “trips”. They can enjoy deep-sea diving. They can 2 operations in hospitals. They can visit the Science Museum in London. Teachers say it’s a good way to involve the iPhone generation in classroom learning and it can help with their 3 and improve their grades. Colin Jones, a science teacher, has walked students through the northern forest with a Google app called Expeditions (探险/远征). “It can be done in a period or two with the help of the new technology,” he said. “But sometimes it could take even a week to take a 4 expedition.”
“It’s different from watching videos. You can actually move,” Taylor said during the lesson on farm animals. “Not only move, you can feel as well,” said Richard Lamb. He studies how brains deal with information. “Your physiological (生理的) reactions in virtual reality are similar to what you get in doing the actual activity.” Lamb said. “Heart rate, breathing... everything.”
John Miller, a chemistry teacher, 5 believes VR technology provides students with a huge learning opportunity. “Students did something wrong in their chemistry experiments too often in schools, but we don’t have enough materials for them to redo the experiments. In virtual reality, all they do is to hit ‘reset’ on the computer. They don’t have to actually use the chemicals in the lab.”
Miller and some other experts stressed that the technology could help students 6 real-world experiences instead of replacing them. “We have to remain anchored (立足) in the world we are living in.”
