21、Next autumn when you see wild geese heading south for the winter flying in a V formation (队形), you might think about what scientists have discovered as to why they fly that way.
As each bird flaps (拍打) its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in V formation the whole group adds at least 71% greater flying distance than if each bird flies on its own.
People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the push of one another. When a wild goose falls out of the formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance (阻力) of trying to go alone and quickly tries to get back into the formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. When the head goose gets tired, it flies back into the formation and another goose flies to the front. It is wise to take turns doing difficult jobs whether it could be people or wild geese flying south.
Wild geese honk (发出雁叫声) from behind to inspire those up front to keep up their speed. When a wild goose gets sick or wounded by gunshots, and falls out of the formation, two other geese will fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They will stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies, and only then will they go on with their own or with another formation to catch up with their group.
【1】Why do wild geese fly in a V formation?
A.To protect themselves from danger.
B.To fly more quickly and easily.
C.To help the sick and wounded.
D.To fly much higher in the sky.
【2】If a wild goose falls out of the V formation, ______.
A.the other geese will call it back
B.the other geese will fly with it
C.it will try to get back into the group
D.it will fall behind the whole group
【3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A.Wild geese honk is a sign of help.
B.Wild geese are easy to be shot by hunters.
C.Wild geese never give up any other teammate.
D.The wounded geese will be left alone to recover.
【4】What can be the suitable title for the passage?
A.The Whole Group Flying
B.Geese Moving Forward
C.The Rules of V Formation
D.The Spirit of Encouragement

23、When we talk about healthy brain ageing we are really discussing one of two things: how to minimize ongoing damage to the hardware of the brain, mostly by keeping its blood supply as good as possible; or how to improve the operation of the brain's software. 【1】
There is currently no magic bullet to protect the brain, but one area that has been best researched, and about which we can say with reasonable confidence, “this will help”, is mental activity.
There is plenty of evidence that older people who stay mentally active, by learning a new language, doing crosswords or taking part in other intellectually challenging activities, preserve full cognitive function for longer. They have spent more time doing cognitively demanding activities over a lifetime, and they are, to some extent, buffered from the physical effects of brain ageing and degenerative diseases. We cal this buffer “cognitive reserve” - a back-up reservoir of brain function that can protect from the consequences of brain damage, allowing us to continue to perform well. For example, people with a higher IQ, longer education or cognitively challenging employment have been found to have a lower risk of developing dementia. 【2】 In fact, studies have found that people with higher cognitive, reserve who do get dementia exhibit less severe symptoms even when they have more brain damage than those with lower cognitive reserve.
【3】 The more we understand about its role in protecting our brain and how to boost our reserve, the more effective we will be3 in designing interventions to keep the human brain healthier for longer.
【4】 We think it can be built up throughout life for everyone. Therefore, taking part in cognitively challenging activities, learning new skills and continuing to “use it or lose it” probably applies no matter how old you are. Crucially, it's never to late to start.
A.Many ways of doing this have been suggested, but few have scientific weight behind them.
B.Though there is not enough scientific research about it, many suggestions have been put forward.
C.Cognitive reserve isn't exclusive to those who have the IQ of a genius or who've devoted their life to theoretical physics.
D.Yet there's still much to discover about the potential of cognitive reserve for optimizing the brain's resilience.
E.This is despite the fact that their brains actually show normal amounts of age- and disease-related damage.
F.However, studies about the potential of cognitive reserve for optimizing the brain's resilience leave much to be desired.
24、Do you like watching documentaries? If you do, here are some you might be interested in.
Tiny World
If you’re a fan of the often-overlooked small species, then this series on the “ tiny heroes ” is for you. Written by Planet Earth II’s show runner Tom Hugh-Jones, Tiny World is narrated (讲述) by Paul Rudd, who played the superhero Ant-Man in the Marvel films. More than 200 species were filmed over the course of nearly a decade. The majority of filming took place in the wild. The first six episodes (集) are available now. The remaining six episodes will be released next year.
Night on Earth
What do animals get up to while we’re sleeping in bed? Using new low-light camera technology, this six-part series, another documentary from the producer of Planet Earth II, reveals the night-time behaviour of creatures across the globe, from urban otters moving through city streets to the whale sharks that exist in the depths of our dark oceans.
Extinction: The Facts
From the start, it’s clear that this Attenborough documentary is going to be a tough and emotional watch. The programme follows on from a 2019 UN report, which showed that a million species face extinction. Following on from presenting Climate Change The Facts last year, Sir David Attenborough’s latest hard-hitting documentary looks at the crisis of biodiversity (生物多样性) loss.

Virunga is titled after Virunga National Park in Congo — “ one of the most biologically diverse areas on the planet ” , according to the park’s website, and home to an endangered group of mountain gorillas.

25、 I stood on my grandmother's front porch with my son. He had a bottle of bubbles. You know the __: it’s basically soapy water with a plastic loop on each end.

He __ me the bottle and loop and asked me, “Daddy, can you make bubbles?”
I hadn’t blown bubbles in years. I am a __ by education, fairly well-trained in surfactant(活性剂) technology. I have __ several shampoos, so I understand surface tension and related foaming(发泡沫)characteristics of surfactants. All that knowledge is __ useless when trying to blow bubbles from a loop __ with soapy water. I was having no __ success than my son. I dipped and puffed, still no bubbles; the soapy film on the loop would just pop without __ any bubbles.
After several fruitless __,1 changed strategies. __ puffing on the loop of soapy water, I gently __ on it. My son screamed with delight as a big beautiful bubble formed and __ away. He grabbed the loop, dipped and blew. No bubbles. I __ to him, “Son, you can’t blow hard. You must ever so gently breathe on the loop to make bubbles.” He contained his urgent __ to make big bubbles by blowing hard and __ my advice. Big bubbles.
There are some things that you can get with __ force, but other things like love or respect only __ the gentleness of a soft breath. The __ something is to higher spirit, the more it is like bubbles; it can't be forced. Blow beautiful bubbles; breathe easy.
