4 of the Best Learning Apps of 2023
It’s never too late to broaden your knowledge, and in the digital age, information has never been more accessible.
Here are 4 of the best learning apps to help you pursue your quest for understanding.
TED
TED exposes its audience to a variety of innovative ideas that seek to reassess the world we live in. Each TED
talk is a spoken presentation from leaders in hundreds of fields. You’ll find everything from hard science to art.
Brilliant
Brilliant teaches a series of science and math subjects through hands-on problem-solving. Unlike other learning
apps, Brilliant doesn’t wait until the end of reading to test you and instead proceeds to build your toolbox step by
step.
Khan Academy
From preschoolers to high schoolers, there are few educational apps that can measure up to Khan Academy
when it comes to the wide range of courses it offers to students of all ages. Khan Academy’s YouTube videos cover
most subjects at a range of levels: math, science and engineering, arts, humanities, economics, and AP courses.
BrainPOP
Like Khan Academy, BrainPOP is a one-stop-shop educational app: It has hundreds of animated educational
videos, accompanied by interactive quizzes, activities, and games. The main difference between BrainPOP and Khan
Academy is that the latter is better for high schoolers, while BrainPOP focuses on upper-elementary and middle

In 2007, when Felix Finkbeiner was nine, he had to give a report on climate change as a fourth grade school
assignment. To his nine-year-old worldview, that meant danger for his favorite animal, the polar bear. As he
researched his report, Felix learned about Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan woman who started the United Nations tree-
planting program, the Billion Tree Campaign, and whose heroic campaign to recover barren land with trees resulted
in the planting of 30 million trees.
“I realized it’s not really about the polar bear, it’s about saving humans.” Felix was inspired. He told his
classmates, “Let’s plant a million trees in every country of the world!”. His tree-planting project, “Plant-for-the-
Planet”, began.
Sharing the idea is almost as important as planting the trees. Felix went to other schools and encouraged them
to plant trees. Plant-for-the-Planet also offers training for students. The group hopes the students will not just plant
trees, but will also talk to adults in government and businesses to try and get even more trees planted.
Word of Felix’s project spread rapidly. He spoke to the European Parliament and attended UN conferences. By
the time he delivered his speech at the UN in New York in 2011, at the age of 13, Germany had planted its millionth
tree. At this time, Plant-for-the-Planet was officially launched. The project had a website and more people were
willing to join it to be full time employees. By 2014, the environmental cause had expanded into a global network of
children activists working to slow the Earth’s warming by reforesting the planet.
In 2015, Plant-for-the-Planet bought 52 square miles (135 square kilometers) of land in the Yucatn Peninsula
in Mexico. Most of the trees there had been cut down. The group planted millions of new trees on the land.
Plant-for-the-Planet’s slogan has been, “Stop Talking. Start Planting.” They want to plant 1,000 billion trees,
which could absorb an additional 10 billion tons of carbon dioxide every year.
4. What was Felix’s inspiration for starting his tree-planting project?
A. A Kenyan woman’s story.
B. His concern for the polar bear.
C. His understanding of saving humans.
D. His experience with planting trees in school.
5. What was the first step Felix took to start his tree-planting project?
A. He spread awareness and educated others.
B. He created a website to promote his project.
C. He contacted the government of to ask for support.
D. He raised money to buy seeds and tools for tree planting.
6. How did Felix’s project gain popularity around the world?
A. Through word of mouth.
B. Through his full-time employee.
C. Through his international speeches.
D. Through Plant-for-the-Planet’s office.
7. Which word best describes Felix?
A. Old-fashioned. B. Narrow-minded. C. Strong-willed. D. Bad-tempered.
C
One of the reasons why so many people listen to music during exercise is that it has a number of benefits. The
research around the positive influences of music during exercise was reviewed in a paper in the February 2020 issue
of Psychological Bulletin.
Probably the biggest influence of music on exercise, based on these findings, is that listening to music during
exercise can make you feel better about what you have done. Experiments find that people feel more positive about
the exercise when they have listened to music than when they have not. The impact of music didn’t depend on the
intensity of the exercise, and the effect appeared for both trained and untrained athletes.
Music also seems to reduce people’s feeling of how much they are exerting themselves. That is, at the same
level of intensity of activity, listening to music can make you feel like you are exerting less effort than you would
feel without music. Some studies have also shown that when athletes are free to set their own exertion level, they are
willing to exercise more intensely with music than without. For some people (particularly when they are early in their
training), music helps them focus on the music rather than on pain.
Music also appears to have a small effect on performance overall. Athletes perform better both during exercise
and while engaging in their sport when there is music. In the studies analyzed, fast music, with a tempo greater than
120 beats-per-minute, was more effective than slow music. Interestingly, it doesn’t seem to matter whether the athlete
chooses the music or whether it is chosen by someone else. So, the playlists selected by the teachers of an exercise
class you’re taking may work even if you don’t love all of the songs.
The one place where music doesn’t seem to have much of an impact is on physiological functioning. The heart
rate of an athlete is not consistently affected by music.
8. What is the main benefit of listening to music during exercise?
A. Improving performance.
B. Providing entertainment.
C. Reducing the effort of training.
D. Feeling better about the workout.
9. What does the underlined word “exerting themselves” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Try hard. B. Break down. C. Growing up. D. Come back.
10. What type of music has been found to be most effective in improving athletes’ performance?
A. Soft music. B. Calm music. C. Gentle music. D. Rapid-paced music.
11. How does music affect an athlete’s physiological functioning during exercise?
A. It consistently increases their heart rate.
B. It consistently decreases their heart rate.
C. It depends on the intensity of the exercise.
D. It has no consistent influence on their heart rate.

A Beijing-based gene firm on Monday announced the world’s first cloned wild arctic wolf, which is listed as
endangered in the Red List of Threatened Species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, or the IUCN.
Experts said its birth pioneers the breeding of more rare and endangered animals through cloning technology.
“We started the research cooperation with Harbin Polarland on cloning the arctic wolf in 2020. After two years
of painstaking efforts, the arctic wolf was cloned successfully. It is the first case of its kind in the world,” Mi Jidong,
the company’s general manager of the Beijing-based Sinogene Biotechnology Co said at a press conference in Beijing.
The birth of the world’s first cloned wild arctic wolf is a milestone for the application of cloning technology,
which is of great significance to the conservation of rare and endangered animals and biodiversity, experts believe.
He Zhengming, the head of Chinese Experimental Animal Resources Research Institute for Food and Drug
Control said that the cloned animals still have the ability to reproduce if they have intact fertilized eggs (受精卵).
The cloning technology can copy all genetic information for selective reproduction.
From the world’s first mammal clone “Dolly”, cloning technology has provided the possibility to diversify the
populations of some species such as cattle, pigs and horses. When endangered species in some places are identified,
cloning of cells preserved from freezing technologies could also generate new life, experts said.
As part of a more concrete step to boost the breeding of more rare and endangered animals through cloning
technology, the Sinogene Biotechnology Co and Beijing Wildlife Park built a partnership on gene seed preservation
cloning technology applications in rare and endangered wild animals. Enhanced efforts for the protection of
endangered wildlife species and their habitats are part of the goals of the country’s national development plan for the
14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), according to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration.
12. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A guidebook. B. A report. C. A review. D. A novel.
13. What is the impact of the birth of the world’s first cloned wild arctic wolf?
A. It reduces biodiversity.
B. It helps to restore the wolf population.
C. It helps the conservation of rare species.
D. It increases the risk of animal extinction.
14. What is cloning technology able to do for some species such as cattle, pigs and horses?
A. Preserve fertilized eggs.
B. Copy their genetic information.
C. Help promote population diversity.
D. Prevent their populations from diversifying.
15. What is the last paragraph about?
A. Cloning technology creating a new species of arctic wolf.
B. Cloning technology cooperation promoting rare animal breeding.
C. Cloning technology helping build a gene seed preservation facility.
D. Protecting wild animals in National Forestry and Grassland Administration.
