9、to Chicago.B The East African nation of Kenya has a rich tradition in distance running, but a lack of success in field events meant there was no one qualified to coach Yego, who studied the javelin (标枪) on the Internet. Yego was born in Cheptonon, a village in the Great Rift Valley, in January 1989

10、and grew up loving football and running, but when he was lapped (领先一圈) by two competitors in a 10,000m school race, he turned his attention elsewhere afterward. He would cut and shape a javelin from tree branches and although his parents thought he should concentrate on his studies, Yego persisted a

11、nd he became national junior champion. Combining his job as a policeman with training, Yego turned to the Internet, studying the technique and strength exercises the top javelin throwers employed. Neither being just 5 feet and 7 inches tall nor weighing 13 stone held Yego back. In 2011, he became th

12、e first Kenyan to win a field event medal at a continental meet with gold at the All-Africa Games. A year later in London he became the first African javelin thrower to reach an Olympic final, finishing 12th, a historical moment. To be an Olympian is something you will never forget, he said. So when

13、 I was named in the Olympics, I was just so happy. Luckily enough I was in the finals and that just changed all my life. He was fourth at the 2013 World Championships and won the 2014 Commonwealth title before being crowned world champion in Beijing, China, a year later with what is the fifth-longes

14、t throw in history of 92. 72m. Rio 2016 arrived and Yego was leading after three throws only to suffer an ankle injury on his fourth attempt which forced him to retire, and he looked on as Thomas Rohler of Germany overtook him to seize gold.

18、ear starts in September, with mass activities such as assemblies discouraged under new regulations announced by Education Secretary Gavin Williamson. Schools were shut down in March, 2020. Currently around 1.6 million of the countrys 9 million school-age children are back in the classroom, but the g

19、overnment says a proper return in September is critical to our national recovery and attendance will be compulsory. Social distancing will not be applied in schools, and masks will not be worn, but instead so-called bubbles, based on avoiding contact between individual classes or year groups, will b

20、e deployed. This will mean separate start find finish times, and also different times for lunch and playtime. Pupils will be discouraged from using public transport, which could bring many other challenges. Mobile testing units will be sent to schools which have an outbreak, and schools will have te

21、sting kits to give parents if required, but if there are two confirmed cases in 14 days, potentially the whole school could be shut down. Geoff Barton, the general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, says, It will be immediately apparent to anyone reading this guidance that i

22、t is enormously challenging to carry out this proposal. The logistics of keeping apart many different bubbles of children in a full school, including whole-year groups comprising hundreds of pupils, is incredible. Meanwhile, before the much-anticipated next stage of easing lockdown in England takes

23、place this weekend, the number of COVID-19 cases has risen in 36 local authorities across England. Easing measures have already had to be delayed in the East Midlands city of Leicester, but now other spikes (激增) in infection rate are being reported all across England. The areas with the largest incr

24、eases are Knowsley and Bolton, both in the North West of the country, and the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. In Knowsley, close to the city of Liverpool, the rate of infection rose from 6 people out of every 100,000 to 20.8.What does Gavin group the students into bubbles for?A. Setting di

COVID-19 is more serious in England than in other countries.D Today the songs, and whistles of parrots resound through the rainforest of Puerto Rico. Bu

28、t a few decades ago, these sounds nearly vanished. Deforestation hit Puerto Rican parrots. Before Europeans arrived in the 1500s, their population was estimated at a million. By the 1970s, as few as 13 Puerto Rican parrots were left in the wild, limited to the islands only remaining forest, the El Y

29、unque National Forest. In a desperate effort, conservationists began to raise the parrots in captivity(圈养). It was a successful strategy: Though the chatty birds are still considered critically endangered, today more than 600 exist. Now there may be a new threat to their survival, conservationists s

30、ay. Captive parrots have developed an entirely new dialect(方言), a phenomenon that has not been observed before in other captive bird populations. Around 2013, TanyaMartnez, a conservation biologist, began to notice the Puerto Rican parrots didnt all sound alike. If you would go into theEl Yunque Nat

31、ional Forest to work with the wild population, it would almost sound like a different species from the captive birds, says Martnez. Curious to learn more, she checked on all four parrot populations in existence two wild and two captive and recorded them. What she heard confirmed her suspicion: The s

32、ounds were not the same from one population to another. The potential language barrier is worrying, says Timothy Wright, a biologist at New Mexico State University. To be successfully reintroduced, he says, parrots must be able to rely on communication, particularly to strengthen relationships in their individual communities. If you cant indicate to others that youre part of their group, you mi
