• 2．I was sitting at an airport restaurant when I received the email.It informed me I had failed my qualifying exam on my third attempt，which meant dismissal（解雇）、from a science program.I knew things hadn't gone perfectly. 'But I was still dumbfounded.How was it possible that one exam could deny all my other successes and define me as unfit to be a scientist？
     As an Afro-Latinx first-generation college graduate，I didn't have family members who could tell me what Ph.D.program was like.But I struggled with my classes，spending countless hours studying in the library.I ended that year with increased confidence.But my confidence disappeared when I made my first attempt at the qualifying exam.Because I had never taken an oral（口頭的） exam before，the result was disappointing.
     I switched research projects 5 months later because my first teacher left the university.This gave me no confidence in taking the exam again.Not surprisingly，I failed again.That's when I was told í'd have one more chance.
     For the next 2 months，I did everything in my power to prepare.I even stopped doing lab work to focus on my exam preparations.I was all in.But I still failed.
     I reflected（反思） on how different my experience going into the exam was from my peers'.This exam does not represent a lot.My teacher believed in me and persuaded the department to allow me to complete the Ph.D.degree.So I carried on with my research.I still have a little voice in the back of my head that I'm not good enough.But I try to quiet it by surrounding myself with teachers who support me and by staying focused on developing into the great scientist I know I can be.In the end，I am much more than that 1-hour exam.

• 3．China's first cloned police dog，three-month-old Kunxun，has begun training after arriving at a police base in Kunming，southwest China's Yunnan Province earlier this month.
     Kunxun was cloned from a 7-year-old female police dog named Huahuangma，which is considered a great detective（偵探的）dog.A study showed that Kunxun's DNA is 99.9 percent 'similar to Huahuangma's.
     Kunxun will begin training in drug'detection，and is to be a grown-up police dog at 10 months.But it would take four to five years to train a dog like Huahuangma.The birth of Kunxun provides the possibility of extending animal clone technology to police dogs，and will significantly reduce the time to train one，Zhao Jianping，Sinogene deputy general manager，told the Global Times on Tuesday.He also noted that the cost of cloning remains a bottleneck for mass production.
     Wan Jiusheng，a lead researcher at the Kunming Dog Base of Public Security，told the Science and Technology Daily that Kunxun shows a better potential than the regularly bred Kunming wolfdogs in a series of tests.Wan said Kunxun will be able to become a police dog when it is about 10 months old.
     A police officer told the Global Times on Tuesday that preserving the police dog blood has always been a challenge，as traditional breeding methods would dilute（稀釋）the original，and the next generation's genes will be largely beyond control.The successful police dog clone technology would address those problems and lower the elimination（淘汰）rate of police dogs at the puppy training stage，he said.
     However，such technology does not mean that the mass production of police dogs has already arrived，as factors like the surroundings and trainers' skill also play an important role，Wan noted.
     Kunxun is not the first cloned police dog.In South Korea，six cloned police dogs first appeared and began patrolling（巡邏） the streets in 2008.The world's first cloned animal，Dolly the sheep，was born in Scotland in 1996.
  
  （1）What is the benefit of cloning police dogs according to paragraph 3？

  
  A．Living longer.
  B．Costing less money.
  C．Reducing training time.
  D．Completing harder tasks.
  （2）What do Zhao Jianping's and Wan Jiusheng's opinions have in common？

  
  A．Clone technology will be used on humans.
  B．Cloned animals can help people in some ways.
  C．Cloning police dogs hasn't yet reached mass production.
  D．The cloned police dog trainers' skill is very important.
  （3）Where was the world's first cloned police dog born？

  
  A．In Scotland.
  B．In China.
  C．In the US.
  D．In South Korea.
  （4）Where is this text most likely from？

  
  A．A diary.
  B．A magazine.
  C．A novel.
  D．A guidebook.

• 4．Students at an elementary school in California，with the help of their art teacher，created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times.In just days，the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour，
     Most people agree that with concerns like COVID 19，extreme weather，and the climate crisis，the last couple of years have been stressful.
     Jessica Martin，who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg，California，thought her students just might have the magic words to bring calm to people in these difficult times.So Ms.Martin，along with artist Asherah Weiss，worked with students on a project they called "PepToc".
     The project had two parts- one was the hotline，and the other was creating encouraging posters.The two adults worked with students from kindergarten to sixth grade.They had the same basic question for all the students，"What could you say to help or encourage someone else？"" Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say.When they were ready，Ms.Martin recorded each one.Later，she sorted out the recordings into the different parts of the telephone hotline.
     Pressing 1 brings up ideas for people who are "feeling mad，frustrated or nervous" Helpful suggestions include" punch your pillow" or"go get a cookie".Pressing 2 results in " words of encouragement and life advice".By pressing 3，you can hear a group of kindergartners saying together："You can do it!Keep trying，don't give up!"Pressing 4 starts the sounds of children giggling and laughing- a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone's face.
     Ms.Martin thought the project would only attract interest from people near the school..But the hotline was soon getting hundreds of calls a day.Words of the hotline spread quickly on social media.The hotline has become incredibly popular with stressed adults，patients in hospitals，older people in homes，and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.

• 5．In many people's eyes，plants are quiet and passive.They can't talk.They can't walk.（1）

  .
     Or can they？A new BBC documentary series，The Green Planet，gives us a new look at plants.Released on January 10 on Bilibili，it uncovers the wonderful and dramatic ways that plants behave.
     Plants compete against each other to live.Each species has its own ways of defense.In rainforests，different kinds of plants race for sunlight.The forest floor is described as a " battlefield " in the series as only two percent of the sunlight filters（透過） through it.（2）

  .But they are caught up in a vine（藤蔓） that tries to take a ride.Finally，they are both overtaken by a fast-growing balsa tree.As the balsa's leaves are smooth，the vine can't get a hold.Similarly，some trees make poisonous sap（毒汁） to protect themselves.
     （3）

  .In deserts，the roots of Euphrates popular are connected.If a tree finds water，it will share it with others through the roots.Studies also show that plants use fungus（真菌） in the soil as a way to " talk " to each other.It's kind of like how Wi- Fi works.（4）

  .
     The series not only lets us wonder at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important."（5）

  .We depend upon them for every mouth of food that we eat and every breath that we breathe，"said David Attenborough，presenter of the series.It's time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.
  
  A.And they can't think like us
  B.Plants are the basis of all life，including ourselves
  C.The Green Planet reveals the secret lives of plants
  D.Plants also help each other and even communicate
  E.Some plants like Monstera spread their big leaves to reach light
  F.Filming took three years to complete and took place in 27 countries
  G.If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease，it can tell nearby plants about it
