2 . Valentina is 9 years old living in Plano, Texas with her parents. She loves Beatrice, an American Girl doll (洋娃娃) very much. But Valentina left her beloved doll behind by chance during a flight earlier this summer. Rudy and Dominguez, Valentina’s parents, tried everything they could to reunite their daughter with her best friend, Beatrice.
“Beatrice means a lot to me. She brings me happiness and she’s my best friend,” Valentina said. “When she was missing, I felt like my heart was broken.”
When finding Beatrice was lost, the Texas family immediately searched everywhere for the lost doll with brown hair, including their travel bags, without success. They remembered seeing her on the plane so they called the airline (航空公司), and then sent an email to it.
The family also spread the message about the lost doll on the Internet — a message that finally reached pilot James, a first officer for American Airlines who lives not far from Plano.
James said he got the chance to help young Valentina locate (定位) Beatrice, who was last seen on July 20 on a plane in Tokyo, where the family had a stopover (中途停留) on their flight back home from Bali, Indonesia.
James said he got in touch with the Airlines’ Lost and Found at Haneda Airport in Tokyo and was able to locate the missing doll after two tries. He then took photos with Beatrice in various airports and on flights as he carried her back home to Valentina in Plano, over 5,800 miles away. One Monday, James drove to the Texas family to return Beatrice to Valentina in person. They were all moved for what James had done.

3 . Scientists in the Netherlands have trained bees to identify COVID-19 through their sense of smell, according to a press release from Wageningen University. The research was conducted on more than 150 bees in Wageningen University’s research lab.
The scientists trained the bees by giving them a treat — a sugar-water solution — every time they were exposed (暴露于) to the smell of samples (样本) infected with COVID-19. Each time the bees were exposed to a non-infected sample, they wouldn’t get a reward. Eventually, the bees could identify an infected sample within a few seconds — and would then stick out their tongues like clockwork to collect the sugar water.
Bees aren’t the first animals to detect COVID-19 by smell. Researchers have also trained dogs to tell the difference between positive and negative COVID-19 samples from human saliva (唾液) or sweat with fairly high levels of accuracy. A German study found that dogs could identify positive COVID-19 samples 94% of the time. That’s because the coronavirus (冠状病毒) makes an infected person’s body smell slightly different from those of a non-infected person. But researchers still aren’t sure whether animals are the best bet for smelling out COVID-19 cases outside the lab.
“No one is saying they can replace a PCR machine, but they could be very promising,” Holger Volk, a neurologist, told Nature. PCR machines are what lab technicians use to process standard COVID-19 tests. At the very least, certain animals could be useful for identifying COVID-19 in places or countries in which high-tech lab equipment is not enough or inaccessible.
Wageningen scientists are working on a machine that can train bees at once. Then bees can use their skills to test for coronavirus aerosols (气溶胶) in the surrounding environment.
1. How did the researchers teach the bees to identify COVID-19?A.By offering bees some rewards. | B.By infecting bees with the virus. |
C.By raising bees with sugar water. | D.By exposing bees to infected humans. |
A.They can watch for the hidden virus. |

D.They react more quickly than bees. |
A.To keep track of more bees. | B.To detect coronavirus aerosols. |
C.To help underdeveloped countries. | D.To develop a new type of machine. |
A.Dogs: Well-trained PCR machines |
B.Bees: Promising COVID-19 detectors |
C.Holger Volk: A fighter against COVID-19 |
D.Wageningen University: A leader in keeping bees |

5 . The Yurok people have lived along the Klamath River, which flows from the Cascades in Oregon southwest through Northern California, for thousands of years, protecting the region and river from which they — and others — draw sustenance (生计).
But as development and pollution continue to reduce the number of fish in the river and the quantity and quality of its waters, the Yurok Tribe is legalizing (合法化) the tribe’s longstanding care by granting the Rights of Personhood to the Klamath, the first river in North America to have such rights declared.
The Yurok Tribal Council’s May 2019 resolution means the river has the same legal rights as a human under tribal law. This order allows people to bring law cases on behalf of the river when its rights are violated. According to the resolution, the tribe’s intention is to provide a legal basis for safeguarding the river and its ecosystem, especially in the face of water diversion, industrial pollution, and climate change impacts, among other threats. In a testimony (证词) delivered to the U. S. House of Representatives in October 2019, Yurok Tribe Vice Chairman Frankie Myers said this legal framework could create a path to ward a more thoughtful view of the rights of nature in other communities and courts, and that any money awarded by the Yurok courts will fund cleanup and restoration projects to remedy the litigated harms.
The Yurok Tribe’s resolution draws lessons from the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and echoes the efforts of other Indigenous tribes, including the White Earth Band of Ojibwe, which adopted the Rights of wild rice, in December 2018. “This is a very important step forward in the Rights of Nature movement,” Mari Margil, Associate Director of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund commented.
1. Which of the following can be used to describe Yurok people?A.A conqueror. | B.A guardian. | C.A governor. | D.A consumer. |
A.The process of legalization. | B.The tradition of Yurok tribe. |
C.The reason behind the legalization. | D.The importance of the Klamath River. |
A.Win an award in cleanup projects. |
B.Protect the personhood of the river. |
C.Fight against global water pollution. |
D.Improve the government legal system. |
A.Time and tide wait for no man. |
B.Birds of a feather flock together. |
C.Past experience is a guide for the future. |
D.All things are difficult before they are easy. |
6 . Aside from Seahawks coaches shouting during training camp, you may find head coach Pete Carroll throwing passes to receivers or casually running 100-yard sprints (短跑) down the field before the practice begins.
At 71 years old, Carroll says he has no magical secret to staying active and healthy while being the NFL’s oldest head coach. All of the constant physical activity is just who he is and who he’s always been. “I’m trying to have fun, to tell you the truth,” Carroll says. “I have to work and stay in shape to do the things I want to do.”
Carroll is the oldest active head coach, and will turn 72 on September 15. Carroll doesn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to stay engaged with the game he grew up with—even if it’s as simple as completing passes to his wide receivers.
Associate head coach Carl Smith has had fond memories of Carroll since 1982 when the pair coached football together at North Carolina State. So, at Seahawks practices, when Smith sees Carroll run sprints and be increasingly active, it isn’t anything new. “He hasn’t really changed since I met him in 1982,” Smith says. “He’s always had that active mindset... He’s uncommonly consistent and curious about things.”
Carroll’s plentiful energy can be translated into training camp. “Pete’s pretty much about competing,” says Will Dissly. “And he’s really done a good job of making sure that’s the point in this game... It’s a big reason why we’re successful.” Dissly is one of many Seahawks players who sees Carroll’s work as a stimulus. Dissly says if his head coach can participate in all of these activities at his age, nothing will stop him from showing up every day and competing.
1. Which benefits Carroll most in keeping fit according to the text?A.Enough sleep. | B.Regular exercise. |
C.A balance d diet. | D.A caring friend. |
A.He is a determined person. | B.He helps his partner a lot. |
C.He respects others’ privacy. | D.He is tired of running sprints. |
A.A difficult process. | B.A temporary success. |
C.An unexpected change. | D.An inspiring reminder. |
A.A healthy lifestyle. | B.Lasting friendships. |
C.A football coach. | D.Tips on intense training. |

It was the first week of the summer vacation, and Parisa was already ready to be back at school. Not, everyone she knew liked school, but Parisa loved learning new things. Even more than that, she loved school because she got to be with her friends all day long. Parisa was an only child, and she thought it was too quiet at home.
Now her two best friends in the neighborhood were out of town for two weeks, and to Parisa, it seemed like two years. What would she do? Sitting on the wide front step of her house, she looked through her favorite kid magazine. The word “competition” caught her eye. “Create Your Own Magazine!” the headline read.
Parisa loved magazines, but it had never occurred to her that she could create one herself. The article said competitors must send in an eight-page magazine with handwritten articles and hand drawn pictures — nothing was printed by computer.
Parisa returned to her room and lay down on the floor next to her cat. This was what she did whenever she needed to think of really good ideas. She closed her eyes and imagined all sorts of magazines. She imagined magazines about bikes, skating, ballet, soccer, dessert… But after much thought, she knew what she wanted to feature (以……为特色) in her magazine — her neighborhood, for there were always interesting things. She would call it “The Tall pins Gazette (报纸)” and fill it with news.
She found a notebook and a pen and left her room. Then she found her grandmother at the door and told her about the competition. “Granny, I’m going to be a reporter for a while,” Parisa said. “I’m going to see if there’s any news.” Her grandmother smiled, “Well, good luck, honey. You do like asking questions, so I bet you won’t have too much trouble finding news.” Two hours later, Parisa ran into the house. “Granny, I’ve got so much news that I can’t fit it into eight pages!”
