A
From her window in rural Aberdeenshire, Laura never fails to enjoy the natural beauty and reflect on the great changes life has brought.
The pretty farm on a hillside in Strichen was a world away from her life just a few years ago. Now, besides brilliant countryside views, she looks out for the daily tricks of Shaun, a characterful sheep who has changed her life unimaginably. Adopting (收养) him as a lamb inspired Laura to write a hit children’s book, “Shaun’s New Home”.
Laura decided to reinvent her life as she approached her fortieth birthday. After her husband Edward lost his job, they set up a home-based business. Inspired by their neighbors who moved to Banff and sent amazing countryside pictures, they decided to live the dream before it was too late. They bought a property (庄园) in Strichen and relocated 450 miles north.
As word got round about their love of animals and their willingness to take in those needing a fresh start, the field at the farm became home to ducks, chickens, pigs and so on. But Shaun’s arrival was the real life changer. She adopted him as a companion for Clyde, a tiny little lamb. Shaun, who had been with farm dogs, had puppy-like features. He followed Laura around, loved shaking its tail, and was very adorable.
Laura started recording the playful behaviour of Shaun, Clyde and other adopted animals. She would imagine what they might be saying to one another, and Edward suggested she turn those ideas into a book.
“I never imagined I could write a book, let alone find a publisher,” Laura said. “So, calling myself an author and seeing my book become popular is beyond my wildest dreams. It’s all about discovery, love and belonging, and being able to share that is wonderful.” Laura has been reading Shaun’s adventures to children in primary schools, while also writing book two.

American YouTube star IShowSpeed, famously nicknamed “Jiakang Ge” for his high-energy live streams, recently introduced 37 million global fans to modern China during his visit from March 24 to 28, 2025. The 20-year-old guy explored Shanghai, Beijing, and Xi’an through unfiltered broadcasts that challenged common Western stereotypes on the country.
His journey began in Shanghai’s modern Pudong district. He danced with elderly residents in waterfront parks, sampled street food like app-delivered soup dumplings, and tested Xiaomi’s SU7 Ultra electric car. The vehicle’s 1,526-horsepower engine and $70,000 price tag shocked him, shouting repeatedly “This beats Lamborghini!” during a live stream watched by 5.6 million viewers. Audiences around the world noted China’s spotless streets and cutting-edge transportation systems.
In Beijing, IShowSpeed immersed himself in cultural traditions. Dressed in local clothes, he performed a backflip on the Great Wall while shouting, “This is living history!” He also enthusiastically learned table tennis from pop icon Jackson Wang and eagerly ate spicy hotpot. His broadcasts highlighted bustling night markets and friendly interactions, with international viewers commenting, “Chinese cities feel safer than our cities.”
The streamer repeatedly praised China’s technological infrastructure. During a bullet train ride to Xi’an, he was surprised at uninterrupted 5G connectivity in tunnels and exclaimed, “New York subways can’t even send texts!” His six-hour live stream from Shanghai became living proof of China’s advanced Internet capabilities, surprising viewers who had previously doubted media portrayals.
This cultural exchange sparked global discussions. Fans applauded those moments like IShowSpeed singing the viral Chinese song “Sunshine Rainbow White Horse” with locals. While some questioned if scenes were staged in advance, most agreed that his authentic reactions revealed everyday life in China. Officials described the visit as “people-to-people diplomacy,” and foreign audiences acknowledged that it “bypasses political biases to showcase real China.

You’re traveling down the Amazon when suddenly you see a flash of pink. It’s a male Amazon river dolphin (河豚). It’s thought that the pinker it is, the more attractive it is to a female one.
This unique dolphin species is native to the Amazon, and its future is in danger. By 2022, humans had cleared 17% of the rainforest. Scientists warn that we may be approaching a tipping point — when enough of the forest is lost, the entire ecosystem will break down. It’s like removing bricks from a house. Remove one or two and the house keeps standing. But remove too many and it falls down.
The Amazon is sometimes called Earth’s air conditioner. Each day, the sun beats down on its 390 billion trees. Plants take in sunlight to produce food, giving off water through their leaves. This transpiration (蒸腾) process cools both the plants and the surrounding air and helps form clouds. Through this, the Amazon cycles around 20 trillion liters of water daily. If the rainforest disappeared, transpiration would disappear, too. The heat from the sun would rise back into the atmosphere, forming hot, dry air. Local temperatures would rise by several degrees, and rainfall would drop sharply. The region — home to 10% of Earth’s species and 30 million people — would face dangers like crop failures, wildlife extinction, polluted water from dead fish, and smoky air from wildfires.
The effects would extend far beyond the Amazon. Since air moves worldwide, temperature changes here could affect weather patterns thousands of kilometers away. Some studies indicate that losing 40% of the Amazon might cut rainfall in Argentina’s farmlands over 3,000 km away. Some scientists estimate this loss could raise global temperatures by an additional 0.25℃. While this number seems small, even a slight increase can worsen extreme weather and habitat loss.
So how close are we to the tipping point? We may not realize it until it’s too late. The survival of the Amazon depends on trees storing and recycling water to maintain the cycle. Removing living trees in one location leaves the surrounding area dry and more likely to suffer from droughts and wildfires.
9. What does “the tipping point” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The process of cloud formation in the Amazon. B. The number of trees that humans can cut down.
C. The complete extinction of Amazon river dolphins. D. The moment when the Amazon ecosystem falls apart.
10. What do we know about the Amazon’s transpiration process?
A. It increases the temperatures sharply. B. It reduces rainfall in the Amazon.
C. It helps cool the air and form clouds. D. It results in wildlife extinction.
11. Why does the author mention Argentina’s farmlands in paragraph 4?
A. To show the loss of Amazon trees affects faraway areas.
B. To prove Argentina’s farmlands are in a dangerous state.
C. To suggest the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed.
D. To indicate Argentina relies on Amazon for farming.
12. What is most likely to be discussed in the next paragraph?
A. Measures to protect the Amazon. B. Behavior of pink river dolphins.
C. Changes in Argentina’s farmlands. D. Discovery of the new wildlife.
