A 15-year-old Indian girl, Kumari, who pedalled her injured father more than a thousand kilometres across India, has been invited to try out for the national cycling team.
In January, a motor-bike driver, Mohan Paswan, who made a living by carrying passengers in New Delhi, was injured in a traffic accident. After the accident, Paswan couldn't drive. So his daughter, Kumari took a train across the country to take care of him. But without income, Paswan could no longer afford the rent and they were running out of food. They decided to go home. With the last $20, the 15-year-old girl bought an old bicycle, and planned to take her father to their home village across India --- in a heroic, life-saving ride.
Kumari rode a bicycle with her father, sitting on the pillion(后座)and holding their belongings from Gurugram city, near New Delhi, to their village in the northeastern state of Bihar. They arrived home on May 16 after covering 1,200 kilometres (745 miles) in seven days.
The father and daughter's arduous journey on a second-hand bike bought with their remaining funds made headlines. It also caught the attention of the Cycling Federation of India, which offered Kumari the chance to try out for the country's team. "She covered this long and difficult distance in seven days with her father and some luggage too. I thought she has something in her endurance level. We can try her," chairman Onkar Singh told the journalist.
“She said she only wants to pursue her studies. We told her that we also take care of studies at our academies. Singh said the federation would test Kumari to see if she is suitable for competitive cycling.
There were also other people who praised Kumari's efforts, describing it as a "'beautiful model of endurance and love."

If there were an app on your phone that could improve your memory, would you try it? Who wouldn't want a better memory? After all, our memory can be easily damaged by diseases, injuries, mental health conditions and, most particularly for all of us, aging.
Nowadays, there are a large number of apps that provide memory training on our phones. Can they help you remember to take medicine, do better on a school exam, remember the name of the person whom you met yesterday? Some scientists question whether this is possible. Undoubtedly, many of the brain training companies today exaggerate the potential benefits of using their apps.
Scientists have provided evidence that brain training does not benefit everyone in the same way. It is suggested that little consideration has been given to who would benefit most from those brain training apps. Will it only be those who have some form of memory impairment（缺陷），or can it also help those eager for self-improvement even though they are already functioning very well?
To overcome these limitations, our team has started a new study aiming to find 30,000 volunteers to help us determine which form of training may be best for individuals. Our goal is to avoid a one — size — fits — all approach. Instead of focusing on the simple question of whether brain training works, we are looking to engage the whole population in a new challenge to test for whom brain training works, and under which conditions.
18. What can affect our memory in particular?
A. Getting ill. B. Getting old. C. Being upset. D. Being injured.
19. Which word best describes the scientists' attitude to memory training apps?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.
20. Why did the author's team conduct the research?
A. To test whether brain training works.
B. To develop a training that suits all the people.
C. To compete with other memory training organizations.
D. To find the best form of training for different people.
21. Where is the article probably taken from?
A. A fashion magazine. B. A tour guide.
C. A science website. D. A personal blog.

We know that reading is good for children and for adults as well. Now a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits — even if you don't read them a lot. A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up in a home with a sizable library improves literacy, number sense and even technological knowledge in later life.
The researchers were interested in what is called the “Radiation Effect" "Radiation Effect” is a situation where children grow up around books, even though they don't read them as much as their parents would like them to. But somehow books benefit them.
Joanna Sikora, a sociologist at the Australian National University, and her colleagues studied data collected between 2011 and 2015. The survey tested more than 160,000 adults from 31 different societies, and it included a question about how many books testers had in their homes during adolescence（青春期的）.
“We found that people who grew up around books had better literacy, numeracy and digital problem-solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels, similar jobs and even similar adult habits." In fact, teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment were successful as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house lacking books.
“So if we grow up in a house, in a home where parents enjoy books, where books are given as birthday presents and cherished and valued, this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong influence to improve our reading and writing ability." said Sikora.
So keep those shelves filled with books. Your kids will not only be grateful, they'll be more likely to be able to spell grateful correctly as well.
22. Which is the benefit for children being around books?
A. They will work with numbers well. B. They will have a big library at home.
C. They will fall in love with literature. D. They will form the habit of reading a lot.
23. The “Radiation Effect" might work for.
A. a girl who doesn't read books B. a boy who receives higher education
C. a girl who visits bookstores a lot D. a boy who grows up without books
24. What do we know from paragraph 4?
A. College graduates raised without books are surely not successful.
B. Teens, after graduating from high schools, can find better jobs.
C. People raised in a bookish environment can solve real-life problems easily.
D. Children being around books can be successful in adulthood.
25. What are parents advised to do?
A. To have a big collection of books. B. To keep shelves filled with dictionaries.
C. To enjoy writing books for children. D. To make kids spell grateful correctly.
