curiosity within Ajay to explore entrepreneurship.While sending his daughter to playschool,he realized there was a gap in the quality of education provided.Thats when the idea of starting a playschool chain struck him.He launched Bachpan Play School in 2004 usinghis personal savings.Starting with one branch in Delhi,today the school has scaled up to 1,100 branches acrossIndia.According to Ajay,what is unique about Bachpans story is the impact it has been able to create across Tier Iland Tier III cities in India.“Education institutes seem crowded in big cities,but when you move away from them,the case is different,”says Ajay.Furthermore,in the smaller cities,many schools were established around 40 yearsago,and they lacked quality.Ajay did not set out to penetrate（渗透）Tier II and Tier III cities exactly.His mission was to make preschooleducation more accessible and standardized.“I did not want Bachpan Play School to be a place where you sendyour kid for two months,”he says.“We made clear guidelines for teachers and syllabuses（教学大纲）for thekids monthly and annually.”Ajay adds that the particular curriculum,design,books,and well-thought-out strategyalong with professional training are what shapes the core of Bachpan Play School chain.As offline classes shifted to online ones during the pandemic,Ajays company launched Bachpan Liveplatform in April 2020.It also launched Bachpan Live app to offer live classes,online books,and more.Since its launch,the platform has witnessed about 65,000 downloads.Ajay says,“The team has toconsistently work towards improving the platform as parents

like to enjoy their reflection in the floor-length mirrors.It isperhaps these particular keep-fit lovers who are most excited about the latest trend in home exercise-smart fitnessmirrors.These are 180cm or so tall,high-tech mirrors that have a computer which is connected to the Internet,andalso work as a video screen.The idea is that people contact an online trainer,who then appears in the mirror alongwith their reflection.On the more advanced devices the mirror is equipped with cameras,speakers and numerous sensorsconnected to AI,so the trainer can watch peoples movements,and provide improvements and changes.On thesimpler mirrors the video and sound are just one-way-people can see and hear the trainer,but not the other wayaround.Lessons are typically not live;instead,people just get into a library of online workout videos.But is there any actual advantage in being able to watch yourself work out?Colleen Logan,the US owner ofboth Nordic Track and ProForm,says,“Seeing themselves in the mirror allows the users to correct their form orposition,so they get the best possible benefits of strength exercises and reduce mistakes that could lead toinjuries”.However,Dr Anthony Papathomas,a sports and fitness psychologist says there is value to this argument,butthat he also has some concerns.He said,“How people who are not confident about their body image feel about themirror gets me in a fret.It may be a problem for those new to exercise and looking to make a lifestyle change.Even for regular exercisers，there are many who experience body dysmorphia（变形）or eating disorders,and forthem,seeing a reflection throughout their exercise might be troubling.”28.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about smart fitness mirrors?A.Their target users.C.Their wide popularity.B.Their basic functions.D.Their complex structure.29.What can be the benefit for exercisers from simpler fitness mirrors?A.Having live workout lessons.B.Exercising with other partners.C.Learning from some trainers at once.D.Taking advantage of workout videos.30.What does Logan think of the mirror?A.It makes mistakes sometimes.B.It could bring injuries to its users.C.It helps users exercise more properly.D.It cant be used for strength exercises.31.Which of the following best explains“in a fret”underlined in the last paragraph?A.Worried.B.Confused.C.Annoyed.D.Interested.DRising temperatures and extreme weather events are making farming conditions increasingly challenging.Thus,scientists in some of the worlds driest places are coming up with solutions to boost local food production.In the Dubai desert,the International Center of Biosaline Agriculture(ICBA)has carried out a mission totransplant and grow superfoods that could adapt to and survive in extreme weather conditions.The work of the ICBA is part of a global effort to find alternative ways to produce food,with the total fooddemand expected to increase greatly by 2050.But with the effects of climate change already being felt around theworld,Joshua Katz,partner at consulting firm McKinsey&Company,believes we need to do more to providefood security in the future.“Feeding the world,establishing food security,providing nutritious food in a sustainable manner-theres a lotthat were asking of the food system,”he says.“In order for us to deliver that to our growing population,withevolving diets and increasing focus on things like health,were going to need multiple types of production systemsto meet all those different needs or different requirements of the food system.”With only 11%of the worlds land surface used for crop production,desert agriculture is becoming a realoption in extreme environments.Countries like the UAE,which are highly dependent on food imports,arerelying on more technologies such as indoor vertical farms and smart greenhouses in the desert to increase localfood production.Joshua Katz sees efforts like ICBAs as an example of how governments can use technologies to improvelocal production and prepare for the future.“Countries and businesses will make choices about how they want toincorporate（合并）different growing systems into solving challenges,whether its their food security or justproviding local food,”he says.“I think were going to have a role for almost every different type of croppingsystem and every different growing technique in different parts of the world.”32.Why are superfoods introduced?A.To fight climate change.B.To make full use of the limited land.C.To meet the growing demand for food.D.To adapt to the changing farming conditions.33.What can we infer from Joshua Katzs words in Paragraph 3?A.Food security is more important than ever before.B.We need to make more efforts to ensure food supply.C.There are many problems with the present food system.D.New food system needs to be built for the growing population.34.What is the authors attitude towards desert agriculture?A.Puzzled.B.Doubtful.C.Concerned.D.Positive.35.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.Rising Temperatures:a Threat to FarmingB.Food Production:a Solution to Future DemandC.Food System:a Challenge for Future GenerationsD.Desert Agriculture:a New Way to Improve Local Economy第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Disagree with Your
