9、 challenging year. My parents divorced and I moved to a new town with my father, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night. To ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for me at a local market. I named him Cowboy. Cowboy was undoubted

10、ly the ugliest horse in the world. But I didnt care. I loved him beyond all reason. I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboys looks. I never let on about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful, registered horses.Wh

11、en Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, we were quickly shown the gate. No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse

12、 in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didnt feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didnt need to. I came in next to last. The stinging memory of Beckys smirks(得意的笑) made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up earl

13、y every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena. We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted. All of our hard work didnt make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky

14、and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place. My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboys neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fo

15、urth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line. As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds! I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, Id alway

18、 What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music? But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shops scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, i

19、t is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase. A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not jus

20、t be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers intention to purchase increased by 80 percent. When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris, scent is just as important to a brands success as the quality of its

21、 window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be. Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants disproving attitude and dont-touch-what-you-cant-afford displays. Now the rise of ele

22、ctronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much m

23、ore than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this. Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new

24、lab, inviting customers on a journey into the stores windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.8.

To compare and evaluate. B. To examine and assess.C. To argue and discuss. D. To inform and explain.DResearchers from the Wat

27、er, Peace and Security partnership (WPS) have announced the creation of a global forecasting tool that can predict where conflicts arising from water insecurity are most likely to break out. The system uses artificial intelligence to create patterns from a wide rage of geographical and socio-economi

28、c data and can identify potential conflict hotspots up to a year in advance.Susan Schme, a senior lecturer at Delft Institute for Water Education, which leads the WPS, explains predicting these types of conflicts isnt as simple as it might first appear. It isnt simply a case of conflicts increasing

29、every time a water security incident occurs. Several regional and cultural factors also play a part, making prediction difficult. The researchers test-ran the AI tool in Mali. They found that it predicted more than three-quarters of the water-related conflicts there. To achieve this, the system is f

30、ed with a variety of data. “First theres the natural side of thingsso rainfall data, soil moisture and many other natural factors,” explains Schme. This enables it to identify areas where availability of water is likely to become a concern. “Then we also look at vulnerability in terms of socio-econo

31、mic and political developments anything from a regime type to the state of development in a region,” she adds. This additional information is weighed up to determine whether it increases or decreases the chance of conflict. Other factors might include whether the water insecurity is likely to affect

32、 crops. The tool is just one part of a wider WPS project that aims to increase the availability of information which could help avoid water-related conflicts. Once artificial intelligence has made its predictions the WPS researchers use other analytical tools to zoom-in on a certain region and find out exactly whats driving water insecurity. This might be decreased rainfall, increased population, or water might be being diverte
