I was
born in Bombay
，
India. When I
was about 6 months old, my legs became
paralyzed
(
麻痹的）
.My
birth
mother
deserted
(
遗弃）
me.
I
was
adopted
(
收养）
by
an
American family. I was
taken to Spokane
，
Washington.
It took me a long time to be
able to
walk, because I had to accept a number of
operations.
When
I
was
in
the
business
school
，
one
of
my
friends
was
training
for
a
marathon.
One
day,
she
introduced
me
to
an
organization
called
Achilles
I
nternational
，
which
was
a
club
for
athletes
with
disabilities.
It
took
me
four
months
to
get
the
courage
to
make the phone call. Dick Traum, the founder of
Achilles
，
answered the phone.
He asked me to show up on Tuesday and
would lend me his bike. That was the first
time that I had been able to feel the
wind in my long hair. I rode really
slowly
，
but it was the
coolest feeling to ride a bicycle for the first
time.
Later, I decided to take part in
the Ironman World Championship. I was in a
lot of pain
，
because I
had to practice swimming,
biking and
running for over nine
months.
On the day of the
marathon, it took me 14 hours and 39 minutes to
finish the
Triathlon. After I crossed
that finish line
，
I cried. I
made it. It was my
determination that
made my dream come true.

We’ve
learned
b
ees
can
understand
zero
and
do
basic
math.
Now
a
new
study
shows
their tiny insect
brains may be able to connect symbols to numbers.
Adrian
Dyer
，
a
professor
in
the
RMIT
University,
snid
the
research
showed
brains
far
smaller than humans' could know numbers.
“
Humans learn numbers as
children,
but being able to
recognize what numbers
really
represent needs
a certain level
of
cognitive (
认知的）
ability,” Dyer says, “Studies have
shown primates (灵长类
动物）
and
birds have this
ability, but this is
the first time we’ve seen this in
insects.
”
It’s important for humans to do the
research. There are 86 billion neurons
(
神经兀）
in
humans
，
brains. Bees only
have less than a million. If bees have the
ability
to
learn
something
difficult
to
understand
like
human-made
symbolic
language,
this will open up exciting new paths
for future communication between humans and
animals.
Studies have shown
that a number of animals have been able to learn
symbols
of numbers, including parrots
and monkeys. Monkeys were taught Arabic numbers
and
could order them correctly. An
African grey parrot called Alex was able to learn
numbers and could do simple
calculation.
Understanding how tiny
brains of bees manage information opens paths to
technology
，
which
is good for the future design of computing
(
计算）
systems.

Since smart phones wore invented, more
and more people are obsessed
(
痴
迷）
by them. The
obsession with phones has spread to running.
They
’
re perfectly
used
during
a
running
outside.
Smart
phones
can
provide
music
for
you
and
track
your
route. But experts warn
that it's not a good idea to hold your phone in
your hand
while
you
go
out
for
a
run
because
it
could
cause
hip
(
臀部）
and
shoulder
injuries.
The habit could make the body lose
balance. The
same goes for water
bottles,
or anything else you might
carry in one hand while on a run.
Professional
UK
Athletics
running
coach,
Alexa,
asks
runners
to
carry
phones
in a
waist belt instead “When you hold something in our
hands, there are slightly
indirect
influences on your pace. It influences the balance
of muscle (
肌肉），
affects the
weight
of some body
parts
，
and makes you run less
fast
，”
she
tells
Cosmopolitan UK.
“This
could
be
happening
every
time
you
train
，
week after
week, month after month.
”
And as mobile
phones get bigger
and heavier, the more
injuries are likely to
occur. People
like to always hold their phones in the
s
ame hand. It’s a force of
habit. With one arm
heavier
，
your body will try
to compensate for the imbalance
by
working certain muscles harder than others.
The other risk of running phone-in-
hand, of course
，
is damaging
the screen
of your phones if you fall.
I
t’s very expensive to change a screen.
Some of the
latest phones can cost
close to ? 300.
12. Why do
experts think it unsuitable to run with a smart
phone?
A.
It affects
people’s hearing.
B.
It does harm to parts of people’s
bodies.
C. It makes people
lose eyesight.
D.
It has a
bad effect on people’s mental health.
13. What does Alexa suggest people do?
A. Carry smart phones in a bag.
B. Watch smart phones when running.
C. Carry smart phones in a waist belt
14. What does the underlined phrase
“
compensate for
”
in paragraph 4 mean?
up with. up with.
up to.
up for.
can we learn from the last
paragraph?
A. Running phone-in-hand is
good for people,
B.
It
’
s time to warn people
not to use cell phones.
C. Changing a
phone sereen may cost much.
D. There
are mobile phones falling into pieces every day. <
