When he was 23 years old, he climbed Mount Everest. In 2007, he set another world record by flying over
Mount Everest in a powered paraglider (
滑翔伞
). His first book, Facing the Frozen Ocean, got shortlisted for the
UK’s “Sports Book of the Year”. Since then he has written more than 15 books, including the No. 1 Bestseller: Mud,
Sweat and Tears.

Bear Grylls
His name is Bear Grylls, and he was the host of Discovery Channel’s famous TV show, Man vs Wild. In the
show, he was left in faraway areas in order to show survival (
生存的
) skills. Millions of viewers watched, breathless,
as he climbed terribly dangerous mountains, performed amazing ice climbing, and ran through a forest fire.
Grylls continues to shine with both his amazing shows and charity (
慈善
) work. And he has set up his own
company, Bear Grylls’ Survival Academy, where everyone can learn survival skills from him and his highly trained
team.
Recently, Grylls founded Young Survivors – training courses for teenagers, including survival skills and

adventure tasks designed to teach the basic rules of outdoor survival self-rescue. Those who complete the course are
given a Young Survivors Award. Skills taught include how to build and light a fire, how to tell directions in both day
and night, putting up a protection building, bad weather survival and so on. The key focus of the course is getting
young survivors back in touch with nature and away from technology.
In Grylls’ own words: “The thing I love about Young Survivor Course is that it is designed to put young adults in
just the kind of challenging, character-building and practical situations that help consider them as adults. So often,
young adults can feel almost over- protected and are stopped from experiencing some of the best things in life – but
the Young Survivor Award will challenge and empower them in an unbelievable fun environment.”

Why was Bear left in faraway areas in his TV show?
A.
To raise money for charity.

C
In the 1966 science-fiction (
科幻
) film Fantastic Voyage, a team of scientists and doctors are put into the body of
Such an idea, while fun, sounds surprising to many. But what if it were possible to treat an illness like cancer (
癌
症
) by putting tiny pieces of something into the body to not only find the cancer, but also destroy it without harming
anything else? Although it may seem like science fiction, tools like this are now being developed and may, in fact,
become common in the near future – thanks to research now being done in the field of nanotechnology (
纳米科技
).
The main thing to know about nanotechnology is that it’s small – really small. Using this technology, it will be
possible to discover cancer at a certain level where there are perhaps only a thousand bad cells (
细胞
). Compare this
to what happens today: Doctors can discover cancer only after the dangerous cells have increased into the millions.
One of the advantages of discovering and treating cancer at an early period is that the cells are less likely to become
resistant to medicine treatment. In later period, cancer cells often change and get used to certain medicine so quickly
Once a certain type of cancer is discovered, nanotechnology will also completely improve the way it is treated.
Right now, most cancer treatments kill not only cancerous cells but the healthy ones as well, causing a number of side
effects in people, such as hair loss and bad pain. Nanotechnology will allow doctors to destroy cancerous cells
Unluckily, even though nanotechnology has great possibility for medical achievement, there are serious
concerns that it could have bad environmental and health effects. Many scientists believe that governments should
give more money for safety-related studies – to make sure that these tiny pieces of something do not get into our food

Meanwhile, research into the uses of nanotechnology continues and it’s developing quickly. Even ten years ago,
many of these uses “would have seemed pretty unrealistic,” says Chemist Vicki Colvin. Perhaps that old movie,
Fantastic Voyage, isn’t hard to believe after all.

A.

Inside Animal Minds

Irene Pepperberg, a graduate of Harvard University, was interested in learning if animals could think. The best
way to do this, she reasoned, was to talk to them. So she bought an African grey parrot she named Alex and taught
him to reproduce the sounds of the English language. “I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him
questions about how he sees the world.” She explains.
When Pepperberg began her research with Alex, very few scientists agreed that animals were able to think. How
could a scientist prove that animals might, in fact, have intelligence (
智力
)? “That’s why I started my studies with
Alex.” Pepperberg says.
Alex the parrot was a surprisingly good talker. He learned how to use his voice to imitate (
模仿
) almost 100
English words, including those for foods, colors, shapes and numbers. Although imitation was once considered a
simple skill, in recent years, scientists have reported that it’s a very difficult ability. It requires the imitator to form an
image of the other person’s body and actions in their mind and then put his own body parts into same place. It is a
behavior that shows self-awareness (
自我意识
). Because Alex had mastered many English words, Pepperberg could
ask him questions about a bird’s basic understanding of the world. Alex could count, describe shapes and colors; he
even had a basic understanding of the idea of zero.
Many of Alex’s skills are normally only for humans and primates (
灵长类
). But parrots, live a long time in
mixed societies. And like primates, these birds must watch the changing relationships within the group. This may
explain Alex’s ability to learn a human language. Parrots learn to pronounce and use our words so they can become a
part of our group.
Many researchers say that creativity and language in animals, like other forms of intelligence, have developed.
“People were surprised to discover that some primates make tools,” says Alex Kacelnik, an animal researcher at

Oxford University. “But people also thought, ‘Well, they share our ancestry (
祖先
) — of course they are smart.’ Now
we are finding these kinds of behaviors in some birds. But we don’t have a recently shared ancestry with birds. It
means,” Kacelnik continues, “intelligence is not something only for primates or humans.”
30.
Which of Alex’s skills showed self-awareness?
A.
Describing colors.
B.
Doing simple maths.
C.
Copying human sounds.
D.
Understanding the idea of zero.
31.
What do parrots and primates have in common?
A.
They both watch the relationships within the group.
B.
They both lived a long time in the same society.
C.
Neither of them can reproduce English words.
D.
Neither of them likes to be part of a group.

TED Talks: An Idea Worth Spreading
Have you heard of TED? TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design. TED is a set of meetings, held
in different cities around the world every year. With different speakers – also from different parts of the world – all the
speeches are uploaded (
上传
) to their website, for everyone to see.
TED meetings invite speakers to give speeches on different kinds of topics. The different speakers are usually
successful in their fields and talk about new ideas and recent developments that are important to their work. The
speakers are often also well-known, with people such as Bill Gates and Jane Goodall, having given talks. There are
many talks on environmentalism.
For example, and on international development, aid work, and how to help poor people. There are a number of
talks about education and topics that are important in the news.
While the talks cover many kinds of topics, all speakers have a strict time limit – each speech must last less than
18 minutes.
As with all organisations (
组织
), however, TED has had its downs as well as ups. The organization has been
criticised for turning great scientists into stars. Perhaps a bigger and more important criticism of the organization is
that only special people can attend the meetings. Those who attend the meetings must be special enough to get tickets
because TED events costing $$6000 or more.
However, , the organisation’s website, is where the many interesting talks become reachable to
everybody who has an Internet connection. Every weekday, a new video is uploaded from a TED event, allowing

people from around the world to listen to the talks for free. At only 18 minutes, even if the video is not that interesting,
you know you are not going to waste too much time.
Most TED talks are in English but there are talks in other languages, too. Besides, most of the English-language
talks also have the choice of subtitles (
字幕
) in different languages and, as a result, the website is great for practising
English and learning new vocabulary, especially in a topic that you find interesting and enjoyable. With so many
choices of subject, the videos are often much more exciting.

A lot of things have happened in the past four months. What my English teacher did moved me most.
Because of COVID-19, we started studying online from February. Since we were all at home, we could only
communicate with our teachers through the Internet. I had trouble with English grammar and I had a lot of questions.
My English teacher told me that I could ask her questions by sending her e-mails, leaving her voice messages or
calling her. She said that she would reply immediately in the evenings or at the weekends, no matter what time it was,
as long as I needed her help. As promised, she was there for me the whole time.
I was moved because she was so responsible and kind. Most importantly, she tried her best to help me in a very
difficult situation. I was so lucky that I had such a great teacher.
