When Ariel Cordova-Rojas reached Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York, last November, she planned to go hiking and bird-watching. A mile into her walk, she spotted a beautiful female mute swan(抚鼻天鹅）near the water’s edge. Cordova-Rojas,who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center in Manhattan, knew that swans can be aggressive. But strangely, as she approached this one, it didn't move. So she was certain that the bird was ill and needed medical attention. Cordova-Rojas put her jacket over the bird's head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and held it in her arms. And then a thought struck her:What do I do now
Her best bet was the Wild Bird Fund recovery center, but that was on the other side of town. How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on foot all that way Luckily, a stranger offered her a bike and then she took the swan to a nearby subway station by bike.
On the subway, no one seemed to be astounded by the feathered passenger." Even one guy, who was sitting right in front of me, just gave the swan a calm glance," says Cordova-Rojas.
Cordova-Rojas called the recovery center, and Tristan Higginbotham, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove the bird to the recovery center. There, staff members determined that the swan might have been hurt by a fish hook.
The staff looked after the swan carefully and got it back up on its webbed feet. The swan even made a boyfriend in the center. Sadly, it contracted a bacterial infection. Two months after Cordova-Rojas came to its rescue, it passed away.
It's a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city literally. In all, Cordova-Rojas traveled two hours by bike, by subway, and by car to rescue it with endless efforts. Higginbotham says," We are angels of love. That's the perfect summary of who we are. I firmly believe that we will continue to save wildlife."
24. Why did Cordova-Rojas decide that the swan was ill
A. It became aggressive. B. It behaved abnormally.
C. It moved up and down. D. It stood near the water's edge.
25. What does the underlined word "astounded" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Moved. B. Disappointed. C. Amused. D. Shocked.
26. What do we know about the swan
A. It survived a bacterial infection.
B. It died despite being cared well.
C. It was badly poisoned by the river water.
D. It was sent to the recovery center by two strangers.
27. Which of the following can best describe Cordova-Rojas
A. Kind and insistent. B. Modest and cautious.
C. Brave and generous. D. Curious and creative.
C
A new report links eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease. The results follow several earlier studies that found eating eggs was generally healthy. The new report combines data from six other earlier studies. It shows a 6 percent increased risk of heart disease when the average number of eggs a person eats each day increased by half an egg.
In the United States, eggs are generally one of the top sources of cholesterol(胆固醇）in a person's diet. Individuals with higher levels of cholesterol in their diets are at increased risk for the development of heart disease later in life. The team examined data gathered from six studies that involved a total of 29, 615 people. Earlier researchers had followed these people for an average of 17.5 years. At the start, the participants answered questions about the foods they ate. But they were not asked about their diets at any time after that.
Over time, there were 5, 400 heart-related incidents among the group. This included 2, 088 deadly and non-deadly heart disease events and 1, 302 deadly and non-deadly stroke events. It also included 1, 897 deadly and non-deadly heart failure events and 113 other deaths from cardiovascular(心血管的）disease.
After examining the data, Allen’s team found, a link between egg consumption as reported at the start of the study and people's risk of developing heart disease. As their egg consumption rose, so did their risk.
Eggs contain a lot of cholesterol-about 200 milligrams. That is the highest daily amount recommended under current guidelines. Less than one egg a day on average is acceptable from a nutritional standpoint. The study is observational, meaning it can only show there is a link between egg consumption and heart disease. But it cannot prove eggs are the cause of the disease. It may just be that people eating a lot of eggs are also consuming a lot of bacon.
28. What were the participants asked about at the start of the study
A. Their birthplaces. B. Their physical conditions.
C. Their diets. D. Their ages.
29. What are the statistics in paragraph 3 about
A. The number of deaths from heart disease.
B. The number of treatments for heart disease.
C. The number of different causes of heart disease.
D. The number of heart disease cases among the participants.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Eggs are good for everyone.
B. Eating eggs with limits is beneficial.
C. Eggs are the cause of heart disease.
D. Eating eggs has nothing to do with heart disease.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Eggs Have Great Nutritional Value
B. Eggs Will Disappear from People's Diet
C. It Is Much Better to Increase Egg Consumption
D. Diet Containing Eggs May Be Linked to Heart Disease
D
Have you heard there are animals in your head There are four, in fact: an elephant, a guard dog, an owl and a sooty (a black-feathered bird). They constantly chat to each other. If one gets a bit over-excited, that is to say, if the guard dog senses a threat and starts barking loudly, then the rest can’t communicate with each other, and thatapos;s not good news. You might start to feel stressed or anxious or sad.
What the animals represent in the brain and what those parts of the brain are responsible for are the subjects of a new podcast(播客） teaching primary school-age children about their mental health and how to look after it.
The teachers of these lessons are pretty young, too. They're sixth-graders, 12 years old. They're pupils at Woollahra Public School in Sydney, who have been working with a social company, Grow Your Mind, to create the podcast.
" I used to hear a lot that the kids need to be more adaptable," says Nicole Molloy, the school's head teacher." We don't say that they need to be able to do math problems; we always teach them how to complete math problems. So why shouldn't we be doing that for mental health "
A selection of older children are" well-being leaders" for the school and meet with Molloy once a week to talk about students' well-being. That helps to keep both the older and younger children very interested in the topic.
Although there's no data yet to quantify the effect this approach has had, Molloy says there are noticeable differences. Children now use the language and concepts they've learned about their mental health in everyday conversations. Teachers said that the students appear to have done well with the stress of the pandemic, too.
Focusing on mental health doesn't harm their studies, either. In fact, Molloy argues it improves them." Our program proves it," she says.
32. What do the animals in the first paragraph refer to
A. Pupils' imaginary friends.
B. Different parts of the brain.
C. Popular animals among pupils.
D. Heated topics for children's biology classes.
33. Who gives lessons in the podcast
A. The company's manager. B. The school's head teacher.
C. Older primary school students. D. Experts from Grow Your Mind.
34. What does Molloy expect the podcast to do
A. Allow kids to practice public speaking.
B. Improve kids' performance on math tests.
C. Teach kids ways to deal with mental problems.
D. Provide kids with a chance to show their talents.
35. What does Molloy say about the podcast
A. It is desirable. B. It is harmful.
C. It is unnoticeable. D. It is humorous.

Whether you want to impress a new teacher, or just chat with a new acquaintance, knowing how to start a conversation can help you feel more comfortable and confident.
36 . To talk an example, when you go into a room full of strangers, most people there are just like you in their hopes and fears. So when you approach someone to start a conversation, you’re hoping him, because he wants someone to talk to as much as you do. 37 , you can acknowledge and accept them, which will be to your advantage.
No matter what the situation is, you can find something positive to say. Comment on the weather, the food, or the event itself. Saying something as simple as you hope your conversation partner has a good time also is a good way to get a conversation rolling. People tend to respond better to a positive subject rather than a negative one. Staying positive also helps put others at ease. 38 .
It can be difficult to try to talk to someone when it feels that you have little in common. In these situation, getting the other person to talk about his or her own interests, work, or expertise can be a useful way. 39 , so expressing a genuine interest in the things that other people enjoy can be excellent fuel for a great conversation.
Learning how to start a conversation is an important skill that can help you build social connections. It can be difficult initially, particularly if you struggle with shyness or social anxiety. 40 . The more often you start to communicate with others, the stronger your conversational skills will become.
If you put the skills into practice
Instead of pushing your fears away
Everyone feels some level of fear in social situations
Eye contact will make your partner feel embarrassed
Try to think of every interaction as a practice session
People often enjoy talking about things they are passionate about
People will be more interested in continuing a conversation with you
