His interest in Chinese language and characters dates from 1972, when Richard Sears, was a 22-year-old physics major at Portland State University in Oregon. To Sears, the characters were complex with many strokes(笔画)and almost no apparent logic. But when he could get an explanation of a Chinese character’s original meaning and an interpretation of its pictographs (象形文字), it would suddenly become apparent how all the strokes had come to be. “I’m a physicist, so I don’t like blind memorization. I knew that Chinese characters came from pictographs and I wanted to know the stories behind the Chinese characters.”
As he studied, Sears found that many of the explanations were conflicting and even the experts were at odds. He decided to computerize the characters, so that he could separate good opinions from bad ones. He scanned about 96,000 ancient characters and established the database of them.
In 2002 he got his website up and named it Chinese Etymology, where visitors can check for free the development of Chinese characters in various forms, from the original pictographs to the modern simplified forms. The clicks to the website went up to 600,000 in one day. Overnight he became American Uncle Hanzi, a nickname(绰号)given by Chinese netizens.
Besides, he has explained the origin of 15,000 modern characters. For example, the character jia (home) has a rooftop and a pig underneath. In southern China where it rains a lot, people put their houses on stilts(木桩), so if it flooded, the inside of the house would not get wet. So, the pigs live underneath the house.
Last year, Sears set up his studio in Nanjing that focuses on applying AR, animation(动画)and artificial intelligence to tell stories of Chinese culture and character origins. He has made over 60 such videos in English with Chinese subtitles for Bilibili, a video website. “They have both entertainment and educational value,” he says.
In the meantime, Sears has been updating the database. “My philosophy is huo dao lao xue dao lao.”
24. According to Paragraph 1, why did Sears want to know the stories behind the Chinese characters?
A. To make his life in China much easier.
B. To become an expert at Chinese characters.
C. To solve some related problems in physics.
D. To memorize Chinese characters more easily.
25. What does “were at odds” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Held different views. B. Showed no interest.
C. Had no doubt at all. D. Were under attack.
26. What did Sears do to tell the stories behind the Chinese characters?
A. He established a database for all the ancient Chinese characters.
B. He built a website about the development of Chinese characters’ forms.
C. He illustrated the structures of 15,000 modern Chinese characters.
D. He set up a studio to make videos about the stories of Chinese history.
27. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Chinese characters catching the world’s wide attention.
B. A Chinese character website established by an American.
C. American Uncle Hanzi devoted to Chinese characters.
D. The secret to language learning — long-lasting interest.

Researchers from Singapore said in their new study that in older adults, doing housework was tied to a better memory and attention span, and stronger legs, which helps prevent falls. Shiou-Liang Wee, a researcher said, “Housework is a purposeful activity performed by many older adults and represents a significant share of their self-reported physical activity.”
For the study, Wee’s team investigated nearly 500 healthy Singaporeans between 21 and 90 years of age. Among younger participants, 36% said they engaged in enough physical activity to meet the goal researchers set as beneficial, as did 48% of older participants. But 61% of younger and 66% of older participants met this target only through housework, the study revealed.
After taking other types of regular physical activity into consideration, the researchers found that housework was tied with sharper mental abilities and better physical capacity, but only among the older participants. Scores on tests of mental ability were as much as 8% higher among those who did lots of housework, compared with those who did little, Lee’s team found.
And among older participants, balance and the time it took to stand up from sitting, which the investigators used as an indication of physical ability, were better for those who did lots of housework than for those who didn’t.
Dr. Maria Carney, chief of geriatric (老年病的) medicine at Northwell Health, N.Y., noted that exercise benefits your brain, and housework is exercise that also involves mental activity and requires detailed thought processes to complete. Physical activity increases blood circulation to your muscles and your brain, which helps mental function. Housework can be an important part of your exercise routine. Carney said, “It’s a task you’ve got to plan for. You’ve got to use devices; you’ve got to use equipment. There’s planning involved, so there’s mental exercise along with physical exercise.”
28. According to Paragraph 1, what do we know about the study?
A. Older adults benefit from doing housework.
B. Older adults doing housework do not fall.
C. Doing housework is a rising trend in Singapore.
D. Doing housework is older adults’ favorite exercise.
29. Which of the following was considered in the study by the researchers?
A. Participants’ ages, sexes and occupations.
B. Goals of physical ability participants set.
C. Ways in which participants do housework.
D. Types of physical activity participants do.
30. What are the research findings based on?
A. Research data. B. Scientific theory.
C. Related documents. D. Daily observation.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Why tools are used in doing housework.
B. How housework works for mental ability.
C. What physical activities should be done.
D. Who are more suitable to do housework.

I’ve just asked Julie Gray, a biologist at the University of Sheffield, which species she thinks would be the last ones standing if we don’t take transformative(变革性的) action on climate change. “I don’t think it will be humans. I think we’ll go quite early on,” says Gray. Humans probably won’t be among the survivors, partly because humans produce young extremely slowly and generally just one or two at a time.
It may seem like just a thought experiment. But discussing which species are able to survive climate change is disturbingly concrete. As a report stated recently, one in four species currently faces extinction, which is closely linked to climate change. While the seriousness of climate change is undeniable, we can make some educated guesses about which species will have a better shot at going far.
According to Jen Lau, a biologist at University Bloomington, heat tolerant and drought resistant plants, like those found in deserts, are more likely to survive. So are plants whose seeds can be spread over long distances, for example by wind or ocean currents. Plants that can adjust their flowering times may also be better able to deal with higher temperatures.
We can also look to history as a guide. Cockroaches(蟑螂)adapted to an increasingly dry Australia tens of millions of years ago, by starting to dig holes in soil to hide. Cockroaches also tend to not be picky eaters. Having broad diets means that climate change will be less of a threat to them.
Furthermore, species called “mobile generalists” by experts can move and adapt to different environments and are more likely to last long in face of climate change. For example, deer in the US are common in suburban areas and manage to live where forests have been removed or are regularly disturbed.
Certainly, some animals would also survive if they could find a buffer: an area that is relatively protected from climate change’s consequences, such as deep sea canyons(峡谷), underground caves.
32. What does the author probably think of the answer given by Gray?
A. Ridiculous. B. Unreasonable. C. Upsetting. D. Exciting.
33. Which of the following can replace the underlined part in Paragraph 2?
A. Peacefully wait. B. Quickly die out.
C. Greatly change. D. Possibly survive.
34. Which of the following species is likely to survive climate change?
A. Trees growing in the rainforest and flowering at fixed time every year.
B. Animals good at digging holes and not particular about food.
C. Creatures mainly living in trees and spending most time sleeping.
D. Fishes that do not enjoy deep diving and like to stay in a bay.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. How Climate Will Change in the Future
B. What Species May Survive Climate Change
C. Why Some Species Have Broader Diets
D. Where Species Can Hide in
