Astrons manager A. J. Hinch says Bregman’s competitive spirit and unselfishness made the position switch easy for this young man.

Last spring I talked to a particularly patient and helpful salesman at the local cellphone store about how to access international service, since I was headed to Zurich, Switzerland, in June. He was excited and told me his grandfather came from Basel.
“If I get there,” I promised, “I’ll send you a postcard.”
I’m not sure whether he knew what a postcard was, nor do I remember the last time I sent a postcard. The last one I received, I know, was a lonely one posted by friends visiting Africa a few years ago. They were back a good two months before their card fell into my mailbox, looking as if it might have walked and swum the distance on its own.
Postcards filled my childhood and early adulthood. I sent plenty of them home and to friends on my ravels and collected scores from all comers of the globe. Places I’d been or hadn’t, it didn’t really matter.
But who sends postcards anymore What do postcards matter when you can see any place with the Internet
By his expression, I knew my cellphone customer representative wasn’t expecting me to follow through. And I didn’t, the following June, for I failed to find s single postcard of Basel in Zurich. But then I went to Basel in September and I chose and sent two postcards in care of my acquaintance（相识的人）there.
Over the next few months, I wondered if he’d gotten them, but I had no reason to visit the store until today, when I couldn’t manage some of my smartphone’s sound settings. And there he was. He didn’t recognize me at first, but once I realized it was him I asked, “Did you get the postcards from Basel ”
He looked at me with fresh and astonished eyes. “Oh, it’s you! I’ve got them posted in my room. My mom loves them, too. I never thought you were serious.”
That’s one reliable customer-relations bond followed through thanks to two small postcards from a grandfather’s birthplace.
24. The postcard from Africa was ______.
A. sent by a stranger B. the author’s favorite one
C. in the mail for a long time D. the first one the author received
25. What did the author like doing when he was young
A. Communicating by postcards. B. Selling postcards to people.
C. Traveling around Europe. D. Going for long walks.
26. How did the salesman react to the author’s offer
A. He was worried about it. B. He was looking forward to it.
C. He was embarrassed about it. D. He didn’t take it seriously.
27. What can be a suitable tile for the text
A. Friends at the store B. A lesson from Basel
C. A story of a salesman’s mother D. A reliable relationship from postcards
C
Back in the 1960s, a Harvard graduate student made a great discovery about human anger. At age 34, Jean Briggs was allowed to live in an Inuit community where many Inuit families lived a traditional life.
Briggs quickly realized something unusual was going on in these families. “They never got angry with me, and even showing a bit of anger was considered weak and childlike,” Briggs said. For example, once when someone knocked a hot pot of tea across the igloo（冰屋）, damaging the ice floor, no one changed their look. “Too bad”, the person just said calmly and went to refill the teapot.
Briggs wrote up her observations in her book, Never in Anger. But she was left with questions: How do Inuit parents teach their children his ability How do the Inuit turn angry babies into cool-headed adults
After reading Briggs’ book, in early December I came to the Arctic town of Iqaluit, Canada, which is an Inuit town, in search of parenting wisdom, especially when it comes to teaching children to control their feelings. Right off the plane, I started collecting data.
I sat with the elders in their 80s and 90s. I talked with moms. And I attended a local parenting class. All the moms mentioned one golden rule: Don’t shout or yell at small children, for it is a tradition among the Inuit to see yelling at a small child as shameful.
The elders I spoke with said colonization（殖民）over the past century is harming the convention, so the community is working hard to keep their parenting methods. Goota Jaw, who teaches the parenting class at Nunavut Arctic College, is in the front line of this effort. “Shouting is not how we teach our children,” Jaw said. “It is just teaching them to run away.”
“When we shout at a child, we’re raining the child to shout,” said author Laura Markham. “Parents who control their own anger are helping their children learn to do the same.”
28. What did Briggs find about the Inuit
A. They often behaved like children. B. They began to lead a modern lifestyle.
C. They developed a habit of drinking tea. D. They were quite able to control their anger.
29. Why did the author go to Iqaluit
A. To study how Brigs wrote Never in Anger. B. To attend a class about the history of the Inuit.
C. To find out how the Inuit raise cool-headed kids. D. To collect data on education in Inuit communities.
30. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 6
A. conversation. B. tradition. C. trade. D. organization.
31. Which would Markham most probably agree with
A. Kids follow the example of parents. B. Teaching kids to be angry is necessary.
C. Parents often learn parenting from their kids. D. It is sometimes OK to speak to kids seriously.
D
Areas with LED streetlights have fewer moth caterpillars（蛾幼虫）living close to the light, possibly having huge effects on an area’s wildlife ecosystem.
“We don’t think of light pollution as being as big a driver of biodiversity loss as climate change,” says Douglas Boyes at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. “But that doesn’t mean it’s not a main factor”.
Earlier research about the effects of man-made light looked at adult insects like moths, which are able to move around and could be counted twice. Moth caterpillars hardly move more than a few metres in their lifetimes, meaning it is easier to be more exact in measuring light’s influence on them.
Boyes and other researchers used Google Maps and Google Street View to find parts of Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire in the UK where there were pairs of habitat areas that appeared similar, except that one had streetlights while the other didn’t.
They then counted the number of caterpillars in each 14-metre-long habitat by beating the hedgerows（灌木树篱）and brushing grass margins, finding about eight different species of moth caterpillars. The learn also noted the type of streetlight—whether it was an LED light or an older, yellow, sodium lamp（钠灯）—and the strength of light it produced.
Sites where street lighting was present had 47 percent fewer caterpillars in the hedgerows and 33 percent fewer caterpillars in the grass margins. LED lights had a greater effect than sodium lamps.
Having a lower number of caterpillars is expected to have effects on future moth number and on other wildlife nearby. Small birds and some insects feed on the caterpillars, while larger birds and bats feed on adult moths.
Heather Campbell at Harper Adams University in the UK says the research is helpful for people to know the reasons why insects become smaller in number. “What is really clear from the discussion is how much influence the different types of light are having, with LEDs seeming to be worse for caterpillars,” she says.
32. What does Boyes say in paragraph 2
A. Caterpillars are in danger of dying out. B. Light pollution may harm biodiversity.
C. Many insects may like light very much. D. Light pollution is as serious as climate change.
33. The disadvantage of the earlier study lies in ______.
A. which method it used B. when it was carried out
C. which insects it covered D. where it was carried out
34. What did the research find about moth caterpillars
A. They reacted differently to different streetlights.
B. Their eating habits were influenced by streetlights.
C. They preferred hedgerows rather than grass margins.
D. Their numbers increased in areas with streetlights.
35. What does Campbell think of the present research
A. It is helpful for studying other insects.
B. It needs to include more types of light.
C. It increases our knowledge of light pollution.
D. It tells the differences between LED lights and sodium lamps.

Why is being alone essential to personal growth
For many people, being alone is a negative state of being. It often caries a social stigma（污名）that equals isolation or being an outsider. Of course, spending time with people you love is extremely important to your well-being. 36 Only if you’re connected to yourself can you become stronger.
Aloneness improves your creativity. When you are alone, you are more likely to stay true to yourself and try new things that you don’t have the courage to do around others. 37 Picasso or Van Gogh wouldn’t have created the masterpieces if they hadn’t spent enough time alone to experiment regardless of others’ thoughts.
Being alone also prevents you from burning out. Sometimes you may wonder why you easily feel tired. 38 Especially for people who go to work every day, it is unavoidable to feel exhausted when you have to deal with work, family, and your own passions at the same time. How about giving yourself a few moments It doesn’t matter how you choose to spend those moments alone. As long as they relieve your stress, they’re worthwhile.
39 When you take time to understand yourself, pursue your personal growth, and follow your dreams, you’ll definitely discover the truth about yourself. Regardless of how well you may think you know yourself, learning how to be alone will allow you to deepen your self-awareness.
Being alone makes you a more creative person and helps with personal growth. 40
A. But it’s necessary to learn how to be alone.
B. Aloneness is often associated with mad artists.
C. It is impassible to be alone with the demands of daily life.
D. Aloneness frees us from the limits of the world’s opinions.
E. Self-exploration is perhaps the biggest benefit of aloneness.
F. One reason could be not giving yourself enough solitary（独处的）time.
G. So take the advice and spend some time alone to seize the chance to become a brighter and better person.

Our class organized a visit to the Science Museum in our city last Sunday, which is definitely memorable and meaningful.
We arrived there at about 9:00 am. After checking into the main hall, we saw a robot standing at the entrance. It can talk and give people directions. How amazing it is! There are several centers on different subjects, such as the science center, the space center, and the information center. What attracted me most was the science center. All the students were fully engaged in the exhibits and activities there.
During the two-hour visit we experienced the power of science. After the visit, I decided to study harder to achieve my dream of being a scientist.
