Mind‑reading machines China is working on brain‑computer interface(BCI,脑机接口) devices to help people in different ways. A wireless BCI device helps people with spine injuries(脊柱损伤) move their hands again. They can eat, drink, and pick up things after using NEO at home. Many people tested this technology since 2025. Gene editing Some illnesses, like certain types of cancer, happen because of “bad” chains in our DNA. With CRISPR, a tool like scissors, scientists can “cut” the long chains of DNA to put in “good” pieces or take out “bad” ones. By October 2024, over 30 tests were ongoing. Space plans China sent taikonauts to the Tiangong Space Station, and carried out the Tianwen‑2 mission to sample(取样) the asteroid 2016 HO3 in May 2025. What's more, China and the European Union sent up the satellite SMILE to learn more about solar wind in 2026. Human‑like robots Human‑like robots are also becoming useful.

The family was not wealthy, but Galileo's parents paid for him to go to school. At first Galileo planned to become a doctor, but he changed his mind. He liked a different kind of science‑physics. In Galileo's time, not much was known about how objects moved. Centuries earlier, a Greek(希腊人) named Aristotle had written down his ideas about movements, and everyone seemed to believe them. Galileo questioned those ideas and did experiments(实验) that showed how things really worked. For example, Aristotle thought that a heavier object would fall faster than a lighter one of the same size and shape. No one had ever really tested this idea. It just seemed to be true. Then Galileo came along, dropped two balls from a high tower, and discovered that they hit the ground at the same time! In later years, Galileo became interested in how the stars and planets move. He watched the sky with a telescope(望远镜) he built himself. Once again, he saw things no one had ever seen before. For example, he saw that the Moon was not smooth. Then he noticed that the Sun had spots(斑点) that seemed to move. Galileo realized from his observations(观察) that the Earth was moving around the Sun. A Polish scientist named Copernicus had said this, but no one believed him. Galileo knew that Copernicus was right. Unluckily, Galileo's announcement got him into trouble with the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church said that the Earth was in the centre of the universe(宇宙) with the Sun travelling around it. This was what people had long believed, but Galileo said it was untrue. So he was sent to prison. He was soon set free, but for the rest of his life he had to stay in his house and yard. Galileo died in 1642, but his work helped to change the world. He was sometimes called the “Father of Modern Science”, because he showed us how important it is to look carefully at things and to test out ideas with experiments. ( )26. Both Galileo and Copernicus believed that . A. two objects fall at the same speed B. the Moon is smooth C. the Earth goes around the Sun D. the Earth is the centre of the universe ( )27. We can infer from this passage that . A. Galileo's parents didn't value the education B. all of Aristotle's ideas were proved to be wrong C. Galileo knew Copernicus and exchanged letters with him D. the Catholic Church was very powerful in Galileo's time ( )28. While Galileo stayed at home in his later years, he most probably . A. learned to play music B. began to practise medicine C. continued with his science experiments D. wrote books on modern science ( )29. According to this passage, Galileo is called the “Father of Modern Science” because . A. was brave to fight against the church B. questioned other scientists' ideas C. built a telescope to look at the stars and planets D. made careful observations and tested his ideas ( )30. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Mysteries in the universe B. Galileo, the “Father of Modern Science” C. “Is it true?”—different ideas in science D. Great minds saved the world C Hu Sha, as a doctor, was chosen as a candidate(候选人) for “China's Good Doctors and Good Nurses” 2025. She served with the 20th and 21st Chinese medical teams in Zimbabwe. In Zimbabwe, she helped run the China‑Zimbabwe Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) Centre. At first, some local people were not sure about TCM. She started medical services there for children with cerebral palsy(大脑性瘫痪). Many of these children didn't have good motor function or clear speech. Hu Sha offered free treatment, including acupuncture(针灸) and simple exercises. She also used simple TCM tools, such as cupping jars(火罐), as part of her treatment. After weeks or months of treatment, some children could turn over, sit up, or speak simple words. These improvements were small, but they meant a lot to the children's families. Many parents said they finally saw hope. When they saw their children's progress, they began to believe in these TCM methods. Gradually, local people called her “Dr Chipo” in their language. Their trust in TCM grew deeper, and they were deeply thankful for the help TCM brought to their families. For them, Hu Sha was a gift that China had brought to the people of Zimbabwe. The name showed their respect and thanks because they saw her patience, care, and hard work. Hu Sha also shared TCM culture with local people. She organized activities to introduce TCM knowledge and taught local doctors and nurses some basic TCM skills. She also introduced Chinese culture to local students. During her stay, she treated more than 13,000 people and won high praise from the local people. Her story shows that TCM is a treasure of Chinese culture and can bring health, friendship and hope to people around the world. ( )31. What was Hu Sha's main work in Zimbabwe? A. She provided free food for poor local children. B. She taught Chinese history in a local school. C. She helped run a TCM centre and treated people. D. She worked as a volunteer doctor in a hospital.

The snail‑live under pressure The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long‑term loans(贷款) from the bank in order to buy things such as expensive houses.
