Mathea Allansmith isn’t your typical grandmother. She’s the oldest woman in the world to have completed a marathon. She was 92 years 194 days old when she crossed the finish line at the 2022 Honolulu Marathon, setting the record for the oldest female to complete a marathon.
Mathea, now 94, of Koloa, Hawaii, USA, stays in shape all year round by running seven days a week, no matter what the weather is. Come rain or shine, she covers 36 miles every week, even when she’s on holiday. The retired doctor didn’t take up running until she was 46 years old —after a friend suggested running two miles per day.
“The Honolulu Marathon is my favorite marathon mainly because it doesn’t close the gate at a certain time, which allows even the slowest runner to finish the race,” she said. “It’s one of the best races. Fantastic registration (注册), set-up and management make it a joy to run the race.”
Mathea, who doesn’t allow her age to slow her down, thinks she is the happiest person when she’s on the road. She enjoys running for miles and waving and saying hello to the people she passes. To stay in shape, Mathea keeps a steady training routine (惯例) . “I train all year round but increase the mileage 18 weeks before a marathon,” she said.
Mathea said it was her career as a doctor that allowed her to understand how her body and mind respond to diet and exercise. “I see the direct relation between moving and health,” she said. “It is important to reduce stress rather than ignoring it without a plan on how to do so. Of course, exercise of any kind is a natural stress reducer.”
Mathea thought getting through the finish line and winning a Guinness World Record title was the excitement of her life. “My family completely surprised me after the 2022 Honolulu Marathon, in which I achieved the world record, by wearing matching T-shirts stating my achievements,” she said.
4．What do we know about Mathea from the first two paragraphs?

5．Why is Mathea keen on the Honolulu Marathon?
A．It gives winners the best awards．
B．It provides runners with quality service．．
C．It has no time limit for runners to finish．
D．It allows runners to set a world record easily．
6．What led to Mathea’s understanding of the connection between moving and health?
A．Her professional experience． B．Her training courses．
C．Her views on stress in life． D．Her hobby from young．
7．What message does Mathea’s story deliver?
A．Practice makes perfect．
B．Interest is the best teacher．

Have you ever imagined an insect-inspired robot, which weighs less than a gram, could one day help out in surgery (外科手术)?
Scientists have designed this small, “insect-bot” called mCLARI that can control and even change its body shape as it travels in different environments to fit through gaps. It’s 2 centimeters long, weighs less than 0.97 grams and can travel at a speed of 6 centimeters per second.It’s the smaller, faster replacement to CLARI, which was designed by the same team.
“Because of the robot’s small size and ability to change shape, we expect usage of this technology in four important areas,” the lead author Kaushik Jayaram said. These include disaster (灾害) response , check on high-value objects, environmental monitoring and medical treatment.
“In the long term, we hope such robots will be used more widely in moving through human bodies and performing surgeries that can’t be easily done at present,” Jayaram said. With mCLARI, Jayaram’s team is moving closer to creating robots that can fit in different environments—just like the insects they’re inspired by.
The mCLARI robot has four legs and can move in narrow spaces by changing between running forward and side-to-side and can use different speeds in human bodies. Its legs are joined to its body through joints (关节), which enables mCLARI to change its body shape based on the environment it is in. For example, its legs can be lengthened up to 50% in certain spaces.
As follow-up work, the scientists want to give mCLARI more power and sensing ability while helping the surgeries. “We are also excited about understanding the effect of shape change on improving functions of robots,” Jayaram said. “And this is sure a great one-step forward of the technology. The robot will have entered the market by 2025 and will bring greater benefits to mankind, especially in medical treatment.”
8．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．Possible application fields of the robot. B．Different types of the robot.
C．Several important features of the robot. D．Working process of the robot.
9．Which of the following can best describe mCLARI?
A．Valuable but uncontrollable. B．Modern but high-cost.
C．Heavy and time-consuming. D．Advanced and effective.
10．What is Jayaram’s attitude towards the robot?
A．Worried. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Uninterested.
11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Jayaram: A Scientist Studying Robot Intelligence
B．mCLARI Is Already Widely Available in the Market
C．CLARI: A Robot Invented by Inspiration from the Insects
D．A Tiny Shape-changing Robot Will Help Perform Surgeries

A new study, led by Dr. Rebecca Stone, has shown that children as young as four years old eat 79% more calories when they are bored, compared to when they are in a normal mood (情绪) .
The researchers have explored the behaviors that make children more likely to eat when they experience negative emotions. Often when children experience bad emotions such as boredom or sadness, caring adults will use food to soothe them. However, this behavior, known as emotional feeding, appears to increase the possibility of children eating more when they are in low spirits. As time passes, too many calories intake will have a significant effect on children’s health both mentally and physically.
Dr. Stone stresses that the experience of boredom is important in the development of children’s sense of self and creativity, so she does not recommend that children should avoid being bored. Instead, she suggests children learn to experience boredom without turning to food. She also suggests that parents turn their children’s attention away from food when they feel bored, or restructure the home food environment to make it less likely that children turn to food in response to being bored.
While there do appear to be individual differences between children in terms of their eating when bored, it is helpful to know that the feeding practices that adults use around food might shape the likelihood of this happening. Although it is attractive to use food as a tool to help children, emotional feeding might lead to greater emotional eating in the future. It is important for parents and caregivers to be aware that this short-term fix could create future problems.
It is hoped that, on the original basis of the study, the team will deeply explore other negative mood states in children and offer advice and support for families to find more effective ways to manage challenges around children eating behavior.
12．What does the research focus on?
A．How children form good living habits. B．How children face challenges in life.
C．How boredom impacts on children eating. D．How parents bring up their children.
13．What does the underlined word “soothe” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Ignore. B．Comfort. C．Excuse. D．Control.
14．What can we know about emotional feeding?
A．It makes children lose weight quickly.
B．It creates a new home food environment.
C．It cannot keep children trusting their parents.
D．It may not help handle bad moods in the long run.
15．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A．Expectations for further studies.
B．The importance of going on a diet.
C．The necessity of managing moods.
D．Ways to strengthen family relationship.

Here are some ways you can change your inner thoughts to stop stress having an effect on your mental and physical health.
Exercise
Exercise can be used as a tool to enable you to deal with stress. The feel-good chemicals released(释放)by the brain when you exercise give a sense of well-being and calm. 16 You can then face any trouble in your life with more confidence.
Keep a journal
17 You can keep a diary to write down your thoughts and record successes you are thankful for. This will make sure the positive things are more important in your mind. This can remind you that whatever stress there is, good things are still happening to you and you’re still progressing and succeeding in life.
Connect with others
Having some people who support you helps you to feel calm. When you meet with difficulties, there are people who will have your back. You feel much less stressed when you have friends and family on your side. Build your support network by giving to others when they need you. 18
Improve your sleep
Tiredness, the inability to think straight and sleep deprivation (缺乏) make you feel stressed. Improving sleep quality itself does a lot in reducing stress. 19 You can also try practicing breathing and relaxation. Keep your bedroom as a cool and calm place.
Prioritize yourself
Make sure you are giving yourself some time in your week. 20 Schedule “me time” and time to practice self-care. Spare time to do what you enjoy and find fun. It’s necessary to help you feel strong and able to deal with stress.
A．Be really strict with work-life dividing line.
B．Don’t be afraid to ask for the same in return.
C．It’s of great importance to choose someone you trust.
D．Put aside some screen-free time before going to bed.
E．Be organized, prepared and on time for jobs that matter to you.
F．People often care about what doesn’t go right instead of what goes well.
G．Challenging yourself to keep working out can make you build self-respect.
