Be
19、lieve it or not, it really is.Also known as cup stacking or speed stacking, sport stacking was invented in 1981 by Wayne Godinet a director of a club in California and was brought to more places by Bob Fox, a PE teacher in Colorado. Now competitions of sport stacking are held around the world and ma
20、ny of the competitors are kids.There are three sequences (序列) stacked in sport stacking events, including 3-3-3 (uses 9 cups, 3-6-3 (uses 12 cups) and Cycle (uses cups the same as 3-6-3).Competitive cup stacking is about speed. Players need to stack cups to build up a series (系列) of pyramids and bre
21、aking them down as quickly as possible. They may compete on their own, in teams of two (doubles), and in teams of 4 or 5. In Doubles events, one stacker must use only their right hand while the other must use only their left hand. In other words.TWO stack as ONE!Sport stacking does not use common pl
22、astic cups. Instead, the special cups are offered to the sport. They have holes in the bottom to help players stack and unstack easily.Sport stacking is safe and inexpensive. Although it doesnt burn a ton of calories (卡路里), it does get players moving because they usually stand when playing, and of c
23、ourse their hands and arms must be very quick! Whats more, sport stacking not only develops important physical skill such as hand-eye coordination (协调) and focus, but also helps players have more self-confidence and better teamwork.31Paragraph 2 is mainly about the _ of sport stacking.AhistoryBsymbo

26、cticing sport stacking.On a video online, fish-shaped lanterns move in the air as if they are swimming in the water. A group of teenagers in Shenzhen Yangang Middle School brought life to the fish lanterns with built-in AI system.“The fish-lantern dance is a long-standing tradition in Shenzhen. Danc
27、ers carry lanterns and try to make them move like real fish in their performance, and this calls for lots of practice,” says Jiang Jiahan, one of the lanterns inventors. So his team wants to lower the threshold with an AI-driven fish lantern that can move on its own, so that more people can take par
28、t in the traditional performance art.Tan Wenbo, another inventor, explains that a sensor (传感器) on the head of a lantern will identify (识别) different pictures on the screen and give the result to a circuit board (电路板). The board, connected with two small motors (发动机) on the lanterns head and tail, wi
29、ll drive the paper fish to perform different moves. According to Jiang, the rules of the moves follow the habits of real fish. “If a fish sees its food, it may dance more often in excitement. If it finds a good place to hide among, it feels relaxed and will move lower.”“The old lantern model was mad
30、e of card paper, but it weighed too much,” Jiang says. Then he made the latest lanterns with xuan paper (a classic paper used for Chinese painting) and iron wiring (接线).Jiang says this experience makes him want to learn more about AI in the future. So does Tan.36Paragraph 1 mentions the _ of inventi

34、n Kenya, according to a new study. The ants spread because of human activities like trade and travel. They arrived in Kenya from southern Africa about 15 years ago. Since then they have been killing the local acacia ant.Acacia ants live in and take care of the whistling thorn tree sin Kenya. In a “s
35、ymbiotic relationship”, acacia ants get food from the trees and use them for home. In return, they protect the trees from animals like elephants or giraffes, which might eat too much of the trees. Acacia ants do this through a tacking (攻击) these animals in group.However, big-headed ants eat acacia a
36、nts and their eggs. As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling. Whats more, big-headed ants dont protect whistling thorn trees either. So with fewer acacia ants to save them, the trees are in trouble.Professor Palmers team found that in areas with big-headed ants, elephants destroyed (破坏) mor
37、e trees. This means the place is more open and zebras can easily find lions following them. So lions kill much fewer zebras in these areas than in tree-filled places.The good news is that the lion population remains unchanged because the lions turn to hunt buffalo for food instead of zebras. This pr
38、obably means that the tiny ants have caused lions to change their habits too. They have to hunt the bigger, heavier buffalo. Professor Palmer said, “We often find its the little things that rule the world.”41Big-headed ants _.Acome from southern KenyaBfeed on whistling thorn treesCspread because of
