There is nothing ordinary about this little boy's adorable experience with his musical heroes.5-year-old Taylor Hooper was just one of the 35,0000people who were attending the Foo Fighters concert in Belfast, Norther Ireland last week. Not only is the American rock group his favorite band, it was also his first ever concert.

Taylor's mother, Nikki Hooper, says that she and her husband have always been huge fans of the Foo Fighters. In addition to traveling far and wide to see their shows, they even named their son after the drummer, Taylor Hawkins. So when the band played in their home city, they decided it was finally time for their son to see their beloved rock and rockers in concert.

“He's been listening to them since he was born — mainly because his dad and I are super fans.” Mrs Hooper told BBC. “We called the event organizers and they said it would be no problem, but that we should know it would be a loud music event, so we gotTaylorsome special headphones. When we got there everyone was so welcoming to him.”

Throughout the show, the audience continuously madeTaylorand his parents move closer to the stage. Furthermore, Mrs. Hooper helped her son stand out from the crowd by making him a sign that said he was a 5-year-old attending his first concert.

When Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl finally saw the sign and read it aloud into the microphone, the crowd began chanting for them to bring the youngster onto the stage. That's exactly what he did. When the stage managers brought the boy to the stage, Grohl asked Taylor to show the crowd how to dance．

A cheap printed sensor could transmit wildfire warnings. Wildfires have recently destroyed regions across the world, and theirgravityis increasing. Hoping to reduce harm, researchersled by Yapei Wang, a Chinese chemist ofRenminUniversity, say they have developed an inexpensive sensor to detect such fires earlier with less effort.

Current detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness, which can delay an effective response. Most wildfires are reported by the general public, and other alerts come from routine foot patrols and watchtower observers. Passing planes and satellites also occasionally spot something, but “the fire first appears on the ground,\" Wang says. “ When you see the fire from the sky, it is too late. ”

The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunks' bases and send a wireless signal to a nearby receiver if there is a dramatic temperature increase. That heat also powers the sensor itself, without replacing batteries. The team printed the substances onto ordinary paper to create a sensor for just $ 0.40.

But improving coordination among the different agencies involved in firefighting is even more crucial to address, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at theUniversityofNevada,Reno, who was not part of the study.Kentis director of ALERTWildfire, a network that uses cameras and crowd sourcing to watch for fires inCalifornia,NevadaandOregon. “The whole way that you respond to a fire until it's put out is like a ballet,\" he says. “You'd have to choreograph (设计) it just so, with resources precisely used at the right time and place and in the right order from detection to confirmation to assignment to extinguishment (熄灭).Fire detection is just step one.

Wang says his team's next steps are to extend the device'ssignal range beyond the current 100 meters, which

can limit practical use, and to develop a protective shield for it. The transmitter's effectiveness, he notes, will also need to be examined in the field ahead.

8. What does the underlined word “gravity” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Pull. B. Extinction. C. Popularity. D. Severity. 9. What do we know about the sensor? A. Its price remains high. B. Its batteries are replaceable. C. It can detect fires earlier and easier. D. It can reduce firefighters' pain. 10. What doesKentmean in paragraph 4? A. Firefighting is easy but crucial. B. Fire detection resources are rich. C. Putting out a fire is an orderly activity. D. Technology is the key to extinguishing a fire.

11. What's the plan for the new sensor according to Wang? A. Improving and testing it. B. Limiting its use and transmission. C. Examing and reducing its signal range. D. Getting it on the market ahead of time.

D

While the arts can' t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.

We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.

Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his

Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy（欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.

Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposingforces.The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future. 12. What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses? A. It brings people inner peace. B. It contributes to problem-solving. C. It reduces the possibility of crises. D. It deepens understanding of music.

13. What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9? A. It celebrates freedom and unity. B. It aims to show crises and chaos. C. It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy. D. It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.

14. What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces? A. Leaving things as they are. B. Making a choice between them. C. Separating them from each other. D. Engaging them in a conversation.

15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. How COVID-19 changes art B. Essentials of Symphony No. 9 C. Moving artfully through crises D. Joy in the eyes of Beethoven

Joan excitedly packed her bags for her upcoming trip with her family. They were driving from New York to Virginia to go on a brief visit to their distant s. She was bursting with impatience to play with her cousins and chat away with her aunt and uncle.

After all of the suitcases had been loaded into the car, Tonny, Joan’s father, looked to Joan and her mother, Flora. “Is everyone ready for our road trip?” They both smiled and nodded.

It was going to be quite a long journey, and within a couple of hours Joan had already begun to feel tired. She began to nod off when she noticed the car veering off the road, sharply to the left.

Tonny managed an emergency stop, got out and walked around the car. He scratched his head, looking confused. Then, he gave a great sigh. “We have a flat tire(轮胎), ”he said to Flora.

“Use the spare tire in the trunk. Then we can replace it when we reach Virginia, ”she suggested. Tonny looked down at his feet sheepishly. “I…haven’t had the spare tire replaced since the last time we had a flat.”Flora seemed upset, but tried to remain positive. “Maybe we can call a service,”she suggested. But a quick glance at their cellphones told them that there was no signal in the area. Joan looked at her mother in the front seat, and her father still staring blankly at the flat tire outside. Both of them looked concerned.

Joan began to get worried. No other cars had passed by in a while and it seemed like they were far away from a town center. She looked out the window, wondering if they would have to sleep in the car or if there was any way they could possibly find someone to help them. Would they ever make their way to Virginia?Her s would surely be worried about them.
