Get to know some of the mammals that call Yellowstone home
Bison
Bison can weigh up to 2,000 pounds and are herbivores(食草动物). Despite their size, they are very mobile
and can run up to 30 mph and jump up to six feet vertically. In1902, America's wild bison had decreased to only
two dozen due to overhunting. Conservation efforts increased the Yellowstone bison population to 4,800 in 2023.
See them in Hayden, Lamar and Pelican valleys.
Gray Wolf
Gray wolves had gone extinct in Yellowstone until 14 were reintroduced in 1995. Today, approximately 108
wolves live here. These social animals live in groups and can be gray, white or black. They hunt elk, deer and
bison near dawn and dusk thanks to their excellent night vision. For your best chance of seeing them, head to
Lamar or Hayden valleys or Blacktail Deer Plateau in the early morning.
Elk
Up to 20,000 elk summer in Yellowstone, but most move to lower elevations in the winter months. Elk are a
large member of the deer family and can be identified by their size and white rumps. Mating season, known as“

the rut”, occurs each fall when male elk fight with each other for females. It's characterized by their haunting
bugling sound. In the summer, see them in Cascade Meadows, Madison Canyon and Lamar Valley.
Grizzly Bear
One of two species of bears in Yellowstone, grizzlies are big. They can weigh up to700 pounds and have a
distinctive hump between their shoulders. Grizzlies are omnivores and will eat bugs, plants, fish and mammals.
Approximately 150 live in Yellowstone and if you' re lucky, you may spot them in the Hayden and Lamar valleys,
north of Mount Washington and between Fishing Bridge and the East Entrance.

The scene in the stands at Roland Garros's Court Philippe- Chatrier was dotted with red banners, adding a
glow to the already orange y air spreading the red clay court.
There were hundreds of Chinese waving flags to support Qinwen Zheng, 21, who would soon take gold by
defeating Croatia’s Donna Vedic in the women’s singles tennis final.
As she lay down on the dirt, eyes skyward and fists extended into the Paris haze, the win's gravity seemed to
register: This was China's first- ever Olympic gold medal in this sport. When talking about the Olympics, Zheng

hours to fight, I could do it.”

Born in 2002, Zheng started playing tennis at age seven. At age eight, she moved alone for better coaching.
Since adolescence, she has deeply admired Chinese athletes, such as the tennis star Li Na, who joined the 2008
Beijing Games, and the runner Liu Xiang, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games.
“
It was really tough,” Zheng said, looking back at those early days.“ My mom used to come visit on

weekends. When she left, I would hold her leg and cry. After 13, she decided to stay with me full- time to let me
have better growth and care. After that, it got easier. And we moved to Europe when I was 17.”
In Paris, Zheng performed exceptionally well on her road to gold, includingtoppling world number one Iga
Swiatek.“ With Iga, I was clear,” Zheng said.“I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many
unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn't think
like this.”
Zheng is conscious, too, of the effects that her milestone achievement in Paris will have. As we wrapped up
our chat, she said softly:“I was reading comments last night and some of them were talking about inspiration, and
this makes me feel proud. If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make
me happy.”

Foreign drivers will have to pay on- the- spot fines of up to £600 for breaking the traffic law to be
enforced(强制实施) next month.
If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, their vehicles will be clamped(扣留) until they
pay— and they will face an additional fee of £60 for getting back their vehicles.
The new law will also apply to British citizens. The fines will be described officially as“ deposits” when the

traffic law takes effect, because the money would be returned if the driver went to court and was found not guilty.
In practice, very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to deal with their cases.
Foreign drivers are rarely charged because police cannot take legal action against them if they fail to appear
in court. Instead, officers often merely give warnings.
Three million foreign- registered vehicles enter Britain each year. Polish vehicles make up 36 percent,
French vehicles 10 percent and German vehicles 9 percent.
Foreign vehicles are 30 percent more likely to be in a crash than British- registered vehicles. The number of
crashes caused by foreign vehicles rose by 47 percent between2018 and 2023. There were almost 400 deaths and
serious injuries and 3,000 slight injuries from accidents caused by foreign vehicles in 2023.
The new law is partly intended to settle the problem of foreign lorry drivers ignoring limits to weight and
hours at the wheel. Foreign lorries are three times more likely to be in a crash than British lorries. Recent spot
checks found that three quarters of lorries that failed safety tests were registered overseas.
The standard deposit for a careless driving offence—— such as driving too close to the vehicle in front or
reading a map at the wheel—— will be £300. Deposits for speeding offences and using mobile phones will be £60.
Foreign drivers will not get points as punishment added to their licenses, while British drivers will.

8. What do we know about the new traffic law?
A. It has been well carried out.
B. Drivers must pay their fines in cash.
C. Vehicles will be clamped for breaking the law.
D. It is intended for both foreign and British drivers.
2
9. What do we know about foreign vehicles in Britain?
A. Many foreign vehicles have been fined in Britain.
B. Half a million French vehicles enter Britain every year.
C. 30% of foreign vehicles cause road accidents in Britain.
D. Officers prefer to warn foreign drivers rather than take them to court.
3
0. According to the passage, what might be a reason for carrying out the law?
A. To increase the income of British police.
B. To lower the rate of traffic accidents and injuries.
C. To cut down the number of foreign lorries entering Britain.
D. To get foreign drivers who cause accidents to appear in court.

1. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Foreign Drivers Face Heavy Punishment in Britain
B. Strict New Measures for Traffic Safety in the UK
C. Challenges of Enforcing Traffic Law on Foreign Vehicles
D. British and Foreign Drivers Equally Subject to New Traffic Law

The benefits of free time, researchers say, depend upon our beliefs about it. A new Rutgers- led study
reveals that contentment depends, at least in part, on believing that leisure activities are anything but a waste of
time.
According to the study, viewing leisure as wasteful prevents us from enjoying our leisure pursuits—
especially purely pleasure activities such as hanging out with friends, watching TV and just relaxing. More goal-
driven leisure activities, like exercise and meditation(冥 想 ) tend to feel productive and so are still enjoyed
whether or not people see value in their leisure.
In one part of the study, the researchers asked 302 people to recall what they did for Halloween, how much
they enjoyed the holiday and their attitudes toward leisure in general. Those who believed leisure was wasteful
enjoyed their Halloween less, especially when they engaged in activities like going to a party compared to other
activities that might be fun but might also fulfill responsibilities, like trick or treating with their kids.
In another part of the study, participants read news articles meant to convince the reader that leisure is
wasteful, unproductive or productive. Next they watched the“ Best Funny Cat Videos 2019” and were asked how
much they enjoyed it. Those who believed that leisure was wasteful or unproductive didn’t enjoy watching the
videos as much as those who thought leisure time was productive and important.
The results show that those who do not enjoy pleasure- driven activities are more depressed, anxious and
stressed. The findings suggest happiness may be driven not only by whether people engage in leisure, but whether
they find value in what they are doing.
“
Attitudes can be not easy to change. Therefore it may not be possible to shift beliefs about leisure
overnight,” said lead author Gabriela Tonietto.“ For the people who refer to leisure as wasteful, it helps to focus
on the productive ways that individual leisure activities can serve their long- term goals.”

2. Which statement illustrates the participants enjoying their Halloween less?
A. They are enthusiastic party- goers.
B. They enjoy relaxing with their family.
C. They consider trick or treating boring.
D. They put much value on responsibilities.

3
3. Why were the participants asked to read the news articles?
A. To examine their productivity.
B. To shape their attitude to leisure.
C. To inform them of the cat videos.
D. To measure their happiness level.
3
4. What aspect of leisure is worth attention according to Tonietto?
A. Its accessibility.
B. Its various types.
D. Its flexibility.
C. Its potential contributions.
3
5. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Happiness comes from real satisfaction of life.
B. Pursuing happiness intentionally might backfire.
C. Believing leisure is wasteful reduces happiness.
D. More leisure doesn't necessarily bring contentment.

Maybe you are probably getting an earful(训斥) from your inner voice. 36 . Here are several ways to
change your self- talk script and to use your inner voices to perform better.
Listen critically to your inner critic
In high- pressure situations, self- talk is often critical. Instead of thinking deliberately and logically, our
inner voices are caused by emotion. That influences everything from how we talk to ourselves to our behaviors.
