First established in 2000 to help thousands of working donkeys in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, the
charity Safe Haven for Donkeys has begun working with an Egyptian partner organisation, the Bridge Foundation,
to provide care to the donkeys in the El Saf region of Egypt.
Thousands of donkeys and mules work in the brick kilns (砖窑) in Egypt, of which there are approximately
1,000, carrying l.4 to 1.6 tonnes of bricks and moving at an intense pace to prevent unfired bricks from cracking in
the heat. Due to a lack of expert veterinary (兽医) care, many of these animals are suffering intense pain from
harness wounds, beatings, teeth and hoof issues and parasitic diseases spread by flies.
Now a collaboration between UK charity Safe Haven for Donkeys and Egyptian community development
charity the Bridge Foundation is providing much-needed relief to these animals. The project includes a mobile
veterinary clinic which treats common injuries and infections and trains owners on how to best look after their
donkeys and mules.
Safe Haven for Donkeys CEO Andy Foxcroft said, “Currently, no other animal welfare charity provides
veterinary interventions in these particular kilns, hence the need for Safe Haven's expertise, on the ground, treating
sick and injured animals and providing training for owners and local professionals (vets and farriers). This first year
is vital as we hope to make a lasting impact by reducing the unnecessary suffering of working animals which sadly
is all too common a feature in the brick kilns.”
Safe Haven for Donkeys' work, which helps an estimated 10.000 animals a year is made possible by charitable
donations that fund the treatment and training that they offer. You can donate at safehavenAdonkeys.org.
24. What causes the sufferings of the donkeys?
A. The needs of kilns and their owners' cruelty.
B. Lack of expert advice and food shortage.
C. Heavy work and shortage of proper care.
D. Water shortage and the heat of brick kilns.
25. How will Safe Haven for Donkeys help the working donkeys?
A. Offering relief to them.
B. Providing training for them.
C. Rescuing them from hard work.
D. Monitoring those brick kilns.
26. What does Andy Foxcroft expect Safe Haven for Donkeys to do?
A. Bring about more professional vets.
B. Treat sick and injured animals well.
C. Provide professional training for owners.
D. Shift working animals’ situation lastingly.
27. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To call for donations
B. To summarize the article.
C. To introduce Safe Haven.
D. To praise the work of Safe Haven.

People may form inaccurate impressions about us from our social media posts, finds new Cornell University
research that is the first to examine perceptions (认知) of our personalities based on online posts.
An analysis of online status updates found great difference between how viewers saw the authors across a
range of personality traits, and the authors' self-perceptions.
Viewers rated the Internet users on average as having lower self-esteem and being more self-revealing, for
example, than the users rated themselves, Status updates containing photos, videos or links in addition to text
facilitated more accurate assessments than those with just text the researchers found.
Overall, they said, the study sheds light on the dynamic process by which a cyber audience tries to make sense
of who we are from isolated fragments(碎片) of shared information, jointly constructing our digital identity.
“The impression people form about us on social media based on what we post can differ from the way we
view ourselves.” said Qi Wang, professor of psychology and director of the Culture &. Cognition Lab. “A
mismatch between who we are and how people perceive us could influence our ability to feel connected online and
the benefits of engaging in social media interaction.”
The Cornell researchers believe their study is the first to investigate audience perceptions of social media users
through their posts, On platforms, users often share fragmentary personal narratives while interacting with “friends”
they may know only a little or sometimes not at all.
Interestingly, the study found that online status updates generated perceptions of users that were consistent
with cultural standards in offline contexts concerning gender and ethnicity—even though viewers were blind to
their identities.
Wang said the findings could help developers design interfaces that allow people to express themselves most
authentically.
“If people's view of us is very different from who we actually are, or how we would like to be perceived.”
Wang said, “it could harm our social life and well-being.”
28. What may your online posts lead to?
A. Authentic digital identity.
B. Viewer's misjudgment of you.
C. Less social media interaction.
D. Making more online friends.
29. Which of the following will least reveal your personality?
A. A link with text
B. A pure video post.
C. A plain text post.
D. A text post with photos.
30. Who will be most interested in these findings?
A. Online web viewers.
B. Internet bloggers.
C. Computer repairmen.
D. Social media developers.
31. What does Wang think of the result of the research?
A. Profitable. B. Meaningless. C. Useful. D. Unpractical.
D
A team of scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has demonstrated
that communication among memory-coding neurons(神经元)—nerve cells in the brain responsible for maintaining
working memory—is disrupted with ageing and that this can begin in middle age.
Findings from the study provide new insights into the ageing process of the human mind. and pave the way for
therapies(治疗方法) to maintain the mental well-being of an ageing individual.
Scientists have long studied the impact of ageing on the brain's executive functions, such as poorer self-control
and working memory. While it is well established that memory can worsen as people age, it has not been clear what
changes occur at the individual brain neuron level to cause this—until now.
In lab experiments, the NTU scientists investigated how neurons in mice of three different age groups—
young, middle age and old age—responded to tasks that required memory.
The researchers showed that compared to young mice, middle—aged and old mice required more training
sessions to learn new tasks, indicating some decline in memory and learning abilities from middle age. But beyond
that, they also found changes in the nerve cells of older mice.
Using advanced optical techniques that allow researchers to observe multiple individual neurons and control
their activity, the NTU team discovered that neurons in one part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex, showed strong
memory coding ability in young mice. However this ability to hold memory diminishes in middle—aged and old
mice due to weakening connections among the neurons, which causes the mice to take longer to recall and perform
tasks.
Dr Jun Nishiyama, Assistant Professor in the Neuroscience and Behavioural Disorders programme at Duke-
NUS Medical School said. “This research emphasises the importance of early, strategic interventions (干预) to
cope with cognitive decline, providing a vital framework for future ageing research and brain health maintenance.
32. What is unknown to scientists now?
A. When memory begins to decrease.
B. How aging influences mental health
C. What causes memory loss as people age.
D. Whether memory may decrease with age.
33. Which can best replace the underlined word “diminishes” in paragraph 6?
A. stands out B. goes down
C. comes true D. dies out
34. According to the research, what is key to fighting against cognitive decline?
A. Strategic diet habit,
B. Healthy living condition.
C. Early scientific prevention.
D. Strengthening ageing research.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Experiments conducted to test cognitive decline.
B. Neurons that are responsible for the aging process.
C. The importance of assessing the degree of memory loss.
D. The way aging weakens brain cells’ ability to maintain memory.
