On the website of the EU Prize for Women Innovators, there are dozens of inspiring stories of
female leaders alongside pictures of these professional-looking women wearing single color business
suits. But when we move the page down a little further, Ailbhe and Izzy’s pictures pop off the page,
with their eye-catching colors and bright rainbow patterns, which is entirely in line with their
company belief “If you can’t stand up, stand out.”The fashionable sisters took the world by storm
with their personalized wheelchair decorations.
Ailbhe, now 25, was four years old when she became a big sister to Izzy. Although Izzy was born
disabled and couldn’t move from the waist down, her courage and energy deeply impressed Ailbhe
and the two sisters developed a lifelong friendship. They spent hours as children decorating Izzy’s
wheelchairs and her other mobility devices. So when Ailbhe graduated from the National College of
Art and had to complete a final year project, she knew what to choose—dress up a wheelchair’s
wheels! Ailbhe said, “The wheelchair itself didn’t show Izzy’s attitudes to life, or her energetic
personality. It was ugly and made you lose confidence. I thought there might be a way of bridging that
gap. ”
Ailbhe’s project was extremely well received at her school’s design show. Izzy loved the new
wheels as well. A state organization helped the sisters work with fashion designers and get their
business to take off. The next step for the sisters was partnering with big companies which were
interested in representing people with disabilities. They turned to Disney. After all, this cooperation
would involve one of their favorite activities—watching Disney movies! Besides, Disney was willing
to donate 10% of profits to a charity that helps disabled children, In addition, the company promised
to realize the dreams of children with disabilities.
The sisters are excited for their creativity to make life in a wheelchair more fashionable, fun and
personalized.

A. The fashionable company.
B. The eye-catching pictures.
C. Their decorated wheelchairs.
D. Their colorful business suits.
25. What inspired Ailbhe to choose her final year project?
A. Her duty to be an elder sister.
B. Her desire to show a real Izzy.
C. Her pity for lzzy’s disability.
D. Her admiration for great women.
26. Why did Ailbhe and Izzy choose to work with Disney?
A. To help disabled kids.
B. To make movies.
C. To earn money.
D. To become designers.
27. What can we learn from Ailbhe and Izzy?

How did the ant steal the lion’s dinner? This isn’t the beginning of one of Aesop’s Fables. It’s the
finding of a new study about ants and lions.
The whistling-thorn tree is a common sight on the plains of the east African grassland. Each tree
is home to native acacia ants, which shelter inside the spines and drink juice from the tree. In return,
when an elephant tries to eat the tree, ants climb up inside its nose and bite from the inside out. This
has allowed the trees and the ants to grow well.
The big-headed ants arrived in this area between 2002 and 2005. They kill local acacia ants
wherever they find them, robbing local whistling-thorn trees of their brave defenders against hungry
elephants. Without ants to bite them, the elephants tear up the thorn trees, opening up the grassland,
which makes it harder for lions to catch their preferred zebra meals.
In the new study, wildlife ecologist Jake Goheen and his colleagues could have used drones or
satellite images to study tree cover, but “we don’t have that kind of money,” Goheen says. Instead, the
researchers tracked their collared lions, and then got down on hands and knees near the lions ’ recent
kills, using a range finder to measure the openness of the area. Areas with big-headed ants, the team
showed, had 2.67 times higher visibility than areas without - meaning that lions could see farther, but
so could their prey.
Over the three years of the study, zebra dinners decreased from 67 percent to 42 percent of lion
kills. But the lions didn’t go hungry. Instead, they went for beef. Buffalo kills increased from zero to
42 percent of kills over the study period. “It’s a risky diet,” Goheen says. “Buffalo are big and feisty,
and lions hunting buffalo are more likely to be injured.”
“The study shows that the disruption ( 干 扰 ) can have serious effects on other species in the
community,” says Goheen. “Those effects can be unexpected and indirect. Changes could also have an
impact on food webs in other ecosystems.”
28. What is the relationship between acacia ants and whistling-thorn trees like?
A. Independent. B. Inharmonious. C. Competitive. D.Win-win.
29. What do we know about the study in paragraph 4?
A. It is worthy but indirect. B. It is specific but unreliable.
C. It is demanding but economical. D. It is expensive but effective.
30. What does the underlined word “feisty” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Stable. B. Wild. C. Exceptional. D. Inactive.
31. What phenomenon does Goheen describe in the last paragraph?
A. The butterfly effect. B. The greenhouse effect.
C. The bystander effect. D. The observer effect.

The latest assessments of the health effects of coffee and caffeine ( 咖 啡 因 ), its main active
ingredient, are comforting indeed. 3 2 They include Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, depression
and all sorts of cancers.
3 3 They showed consuming four or five eight-ounce cups of coffee a day has been associated
with reduced death rates. In a study of more than 200,000 participants followed for up to 30 years,
those who drank three to five cups of coffee a day, with or without caffeine, were 15 percent less
likely to die early from all causes than the people who avoided coffee. Perhaps most dramatic was a
50 percent reduction in the risk of suicide among both men and women who were moderate coffee
drinkers, perhaps by boosting production of brain chemicals. 3 4
A report was published last summer by a renowned research team at the Harvard Hool of Public
Health. It concluded that although current evidence may not guarantee recommending coffee or
caffeine to prevent disease, for most people drinking coffee in moderation “can be part of a healthy
