阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

I was born missing my left arm. In 1986, at 18 months, I was fitted with a prosthetic (义肢) device, I spent my entire childhood and adolescence trying to ease the pains of the stares and pointing fingers from my classmates. By the time I was 8, I had no self-confidence, and the hand I was wearing was making it harder for me to fit in. So I decided I was better off without one.

To prove that I wasn' t limited by my disability, I developed a love for all sports, in particular swimming. I was selected to my first Australian women' s swimming team at age 13 and successfully represented my country for eight years. I realized I' d made a name for myself because of my disability.

In 2021 I was first contacted by Covvi, a company trying to create the world' s most advanced bionic (仿生的) hand. They asked me to try the hand and, if possible, to become a patient advocate (代言人). At first, I said no. Then, curiosity got the better of me.

While I was busy advocating for disability rights, a new generation of leaders, like Amy Purdy and Nick Vujicic, used the power of technology and social media to display wheelchairs or prosthetic devices without explanation. People feared disability less. Society was beginning to see a person first, and their disability second.

As those conversations shifted, I realized that there was an opportunity to use technology to guide future generations. In July 2022, I decided to try the hand.

The role of patient advocate is a great honor. Through sharing my journey, I' m able to reach thousands of other people who would benefit from its extraordinary capabilities. That' s why I wear a bionic hand — not because I' m broken, but because I have an opportunity to improve the human capabilities that already exist.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

We often think about relationships on a scale from positive to negative. We are drawn to loving family members, caring classmates and supportive mentors. We do our best to avoid the cruel uncle, the playground bully and the jerk boss.

But the most harmful relationships aren' t the purely negative ones. They' re the ones that are a mix of positive and negative. We often call them frenemies, supposed friends who sometimes help you and sometimes hurt you. But it' s not just friends. It' s the in-laws who volunteer to watch your kids but devalue your parenting. The manager who praises your work but denies you a promotion.

Groundbreaking research led by the psychologists Bert Uchino and Julianne Holt-Lunstad shows that ambivalent (矛盾情绪的) relationships can be damaging to your health — even more than purely negative relationships.

Even a single ambivalent interaction can cause harm. In one experiment, people talked about controversial (具有争议性的) topics in front of a friend who offered feedback. The researchers had randomly assigned the friend to give ambivalent or negative comments. Receiving mixed feedback caused higher blood pressure than pure criticism. " I would have gone about the topic differently, but you' re doing fine" proved to be more distressing than " I totally disagree with everything you' ve said. "

The evidence that ambivalent relationships can be bad for us is obvious, but the reasons can be harder to read — just like the relationships themselves.

One reason is that ambivalent relationships are unpredictable. With a clear enemy, you put up a shield when you cross paths. With a frenemy, you never know whether Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde is going to show up. Feeling unsure can break the body' s calming system and activate a fight-or-flight response. It' s unsettling to hope for a hug while also preparing for a likely quarrel.

Another factor is that unpleasant interactions are more painful in an ambivalent relationship. It' s more distressing to be let down by people you like sometimes than by people you dislike all the time. When someone stabs you in the back, it stings more if he' s been friendly to your face.

The world' s most famous tire (轮胎) graveyard (坟地) of 42 million tires in the sands of Kuwait is finally being cleaned up and recycled. This news in itself would be a major relief to locals who have to suffer from the clouds of black smoke arising during fires. But the government isn' t stopping there. They are aiming to create a green city of 25, 000 homes in line with a post-oil Persian Gulf, with a focus on sustainability and tourism.

The first step is to clear the ground. The Salmiya area, nicknamed " Rubber (橡胶) Mountain" , is formed from hundreds of small mountains of spent tires — a reaction from the one million cars which were added to Kuwait' s roads over the decade.

EPSCO Global General Trading recycling company has opened a recycling plant for the tires, where they' ve been collected, sorted, cut up, and pressed into other materials like rubbery coloured flooring tiles (铺地砖). The plant opened in January of 2021, and can recycle up to 3 million tires a year. The recycled material is then exported out to nearby gulf neighbours and Asia. In the place of the tires will be South Saad Al-Abdullah City, a green city characterizing a new era in the Middle-Eastern country.

Spent tires are a major environmental problem worldwide due to the room they take up and the chemicals they can release.

" We have moved from a difficult stage that was characterized by great environmental risk, " says Oil Minister Mohammed al-Fares. " Today the area is becoming clean and all tires are being removed to begin the launch of the project of Saad Al-Abdullah city. "

Expected to cost €3. 3 billion and require 30 years to complete, the city hopes to feature green technology, probably like the kind one can see in other cities on the Persian Gulf, both existing and not. Saudi Arabia is planning to build a zero-emissions, car-less future city that' s centered around access to big data rather than water or crops.

Summer is the swimming season. As fun as a swimming pool can be it' s also a major safety risk if you don' t take the proper measures. Here are some tips for a safe swimming season.

Have supervisors (监护人) to watch over the safety. . Supervisors should be an adult who can swim well and knows how to save others in a swimming pool. They mustn' t be distracted with their cellphone, or a conversation with another adult. They must take that role very seriously. . More children aged 1 to 4 die from drowning (溺水) than any other causes of death.

Keep a variety of floating devices in and around the pool like a life jacket plus pool noodles or a paddle board. That helps when accidents happen. .

Supervisors should also learn basic CPR. It only takes three steps, which is easy to learn. However, it saves life in the " golden four minutes" right after accidents happen.

. Emergency department staff sometimes see serious head injuries and spinal cord injuries that come from careless diving. This happens more among teenagers and young adults. Prevent this by making sure people are only using existing diving boards that are designed to dive into deep water.

Another risk is a condition called " dry drowning" . This happens after a near-drowning event in which water gets into someone' s lungs. . Call 120 or go to the emergency department right away. This is very rare, but can be fatal (致命的).

A. Drowning can happen in an instant

B. Drowning isn' t the only danger with pools

C. Pool owners should be sure to have a fence around their pool

D. When someone is drowning, they should call for help as quickly as possible

E. A drowning person having something to grab can get out of the pool quickly

F. That means the airway is closed off and can' t provide someone with enough oxygen

G. If children or inexperienced swimmers are in the pool, it' s very important to have close supervision

Deepfakes are videos which have been digitally manipulated (操纵) to show people saying something they haven' t actually spoken.
