My first newsroom was in a grand building with tall arched windows that dominated a street corner in the small Midwestern city where I worked. Inside, there was a high ceiling. “Did this use to be a bank ” many visitors would ask. But it had, in fact, always been a newsroom.
I was young and shy when I first went to work there, and it probably took me a month before I talked to any of the other reporters. But eventually, they became my best friends, the core of my social life
My second newsroom was the airy top floor of a historic building in the state capital of Maryland. It was smaller and less grand but far more energizing. My colleagues were older. I learned so much about how to be a reporter from overhearing their phone interviews.
This past summer, several American newspapers announced they would be closing their newsrooms. Many local newspapers have gone out of business in recent years, victims of declining circulation and shrinking advertising dollars. Then along came the coronavirus pandemic (新冠病毒疫情), and so many of us were sent home to work from there. The pleasant surprise is that we have all succeeded brilliantly in working remotely. But some managers have looked at this success and thought: “Why would we need to return to the newsroom ”
I worry that they are making a big mistake. A physical newsroom sends a powerful message to a community: “We are here for you.” At my first job, strangers could walk right through the door and straight up my desk. We treasured that visibility.
But I also think about the collaboration (合作)— of the times I would overhear colleagues talking about a story and realize that I had some useful information for them. Sometimes, a colleague would see me in the hall and give me a story idea. I can’t wait to get back to my newsroom.
24. How was the author’s first newsroom different from the second one
A. It sat in a big city. B. It used to be a bank.
C. It was visitor-friendly. D. It was in a grand building.
25. How did the author benefit from her second newsroom

B. She made her best friends there.
C. She could overhear others’ argument.
D. She gained experience from her colleagues.
26. What does the underlined part “this success” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Journalists worked effectively at home.
B. Newspaper circulation was increasing
C. Newspaper advertising was profitable.
D. Journalism survived the pandemic.
27. Why is the author against closing newsrooms
A. Newsrooms serve as a close tie.
B. She will be out of work as a result.
C. Newspapers will disappear due to it.
D. It is against the will of communities.
C
Aristotle believed the face was a window onto a person’s mind. Two thousand years on, facial expressions are still commonly thought to be a universally valid way to tell other people’s feelings. A raised eyebrow suggests confusion. A smile means happiness.
Or do they An analysis of hundreds of research papers that examined the relationship between facial expressions and underlying emotions has uncovered a surprising conclusion; there is no good scientific evidence to suggest that there are such things as recognisable facial expressions for basic emotions which are universal across cultures.
Lisa Feldman Barrett, one of the authors of the study, says, “We surprised ourselves.” They found that, on average, adults in urban cultures scowled (怒视) when they were angry 30% of the time, which meant that some 70% of the time they did not Scowl when angry. People also scowled when they were not angry. Dr. Feldman Barrett says, “They scowl when they’re concentrating; they scowl when someone tells them a bad joke; they scowl for lots of reasons,” A scowl, the researchers concluded is certainly one expression of anger. But it is not the only way people express that emotion.
All this raises questions about the efforts of information-technology companies to develop artificial intelligence algorithms (计算程序) which can recognise facial expressions and work out a Person’s underlying emotional states. Microsoft, for example, claims its “Emotion API” is able to detect what people are feeling by examining videos of them. Alex Martine, another of the study’s authors, however, expressed scepticism.
Given that people cannot guess each other’ emotional states most of the time, Dr. Martinez sees no reason why computers would be able to. “There are companies rig claiming to be able to do that and apply this to situations in ways I find really scary d dangerous, such as hiring people,” he says. “Some companies require you to submit a video CV, and then this is analysed by a machine-learning system. And depending on your facial expressions, they hire you or not, which think is based on a dangerous hypothesis (假设).”
28. What does the author think of Aristotle’s belief about facial expressions
A. It has not been literally challenged so far.
B It was already disproved many years ago
C. It is in line with most common people’s opinions.
D. It was faced with great disagreement when first put forward.
29. What’s the conclusion of the new analysis
A. Facial expressions are hardly recognisable.
B. Underlying emotions aren’t easy to express.
C. Different cultures tend to express emotions in the same way.
D. Facial expressions don’t necessarily reflect what is deep down.
30. What did Lisa Feldman Barrett find out about scowls
A They are not always related to anger.
B. They are the strongest expressions of anger.
C. They are not frequently used in urban cultures.
D. They are used to respond to had jokes most of the time.
31. What might be Alex Martinez’s on “Emotion API”
A. It is scientific. B. It is absurd.
C. It is progressing well. D. It is scary for job hunters.
D
While most people don’t think much about garbage, trash (垃圾) is beloved by archaeologist (考古学家). A favorite site for study is a midden (贝丘), an old trash or garbage heap (堆). A midden might contain damaged stone or metal items, which tell us about the weapons and tools people used. Softer materials such as wood, cloth, leather, and baskets are sometimes preserved. They may tell us what people wore, how they carried things, or the kind of toys used by children. Historic household trash heaps often contain broken pottery pieces and even traces of the food they once held.
Most people no longer keep a trash heap by the kitchen door. Instead, garbage is hauled off to landfills (垃圾填埋池). These landfills can still attract archaeologists. The Garbage Project collected information from landfills from 1987 to 1995. Student archaeologists measured tons of garbage from 15 landfills across the United States and Canada. This garbology, the study of garbage, research led to a better understanding of how people have changed what they consume during this period of time. The findings also led to a better awareness of how quickly various items rot. This helped with city planning for garbage disposal and recycling efforts.
Some found objects that may clearly be of archaeological interest, such as arrowheads and spear points. It is typically against the law to collect these on public lands, so they should be left in place. If you take a photo and note the location, you can notify the state archaeologist or the government branch that is in charge of the land, such as the National Park Service or the Bureau of Land Management.
Everyone is responsible for protecting archaeological resources, which is a concept known as “archaeological stewardship.” Sometimes this even means protecting old garbage.
32. Why is old trash important according to archaeologists
A. It can teach us about the past.
B. It might help us locate metal mines.
C. It can contribute to modern material industry.
D. It might encourage us to protect our environment.
33. What did the student archaeologists mentioned in Paragraph 2 do
A. They conducted a study on modern trash.
B. They recycled waste from some landfills.
C. They offered some creative city planning ideas.
D. They compared ancient trash heaps with modern landfills.
34. What should you do if you find a potential historic item
A. Donate it to public collections.
B. Take it to proper authorities.
C. Leave it in a safe place.
D. Mark the place of it.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Past or Future B. Trash or Treasure
C. Protection of Damage D. Problem or Resource

Wang Fang, a Suzhou native, has given her heart and soul to Kunqu Opera. Wang, who has twice won the Plum Performance Award-China’s top award for theater and opera performances — started to learn the traditional art form from a young age.
Born with a sweet voice, Wang loved to sing and dance and was selected by the Suzhou Kunqu Opera Troupe when she was in middle school. However, her parents refused the troupe’s invitation, insisting that she should concentrate on her studies. After members of the troupe visited the parents repeatedly, Wang’s parents finally agreed.
Learning the traditional art form was never easy, she started to learn how to pronounce words, sing them lyrically and make gestures gently. At first, she had to spend extra time practicing kung fu movements. Years later, Wang used the word “unimaginable” to describe how hard the days were when she first learned Kunqu. She was soaked (浸泡) in sweat when practicing movements in summer, while in winter she often had chilblains (冻疮) on her hands. “But I was determined at the time. No matter how difficult, I always got up early the next morning to practice,” Wang recalls.
Wang says she did not love Kunqu at first, but in her early 20s, when she watched the show Peony Pavilion performed by Zhang Jiqing, a master of the art form, it clicked. “I was shocked,” Wang says. “Her every movement was full of elegance. Each of her lines and songs was perfect. I was struck by the beauty of Kunqu for the first time, and it has stayed with me since.”
“I always believe that ‘Not everything is meant to be, but everything is worth a try.’ First you must be a dreamer, then a doer, and only then can you be a master. I believe in this order — that it should be this way and that I am this way.” Wang once said in an interview. Now, Wang has become a master of Kunqu. Her performances have impressed generations of audiences and helped to promote the art form among young people.
24. Why didn’t Wang Fang join the Suzhou Kunqu Opera Troupe at first
A. Traditional art form was too difficult and hard for her.
B. She saw no future in learning Kunqu Opera.
C. Her parents wanted her to focus on her studies.

Grandparents who help out occasionally with childcare or provide support for others in their community tend to live longer than seniors who do not care for other people, according to a study from Berlin, Germany.
“Having no contact with grandchildren at all can negatively impact grandparents’ health.” said Sonja Hilbrand, one of the researchers. The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70 in the Berlin Aging Study. The study team compared this group with those who provided support for non-family members, such as neighbors, and seniors who did not provide any care for other people. Overall, after accounting for grandparents’ age and general state of health, the risk of dying over a 20-year period was one-third lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren, compared with grandparents who provided no childcare.
Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasn’t a relative. Half of the grandparents who cared for grandchildren were still alive ten years after the initial interview. In contrast, about half of the participants who did not help others died within five years after the start of the study.
“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society. Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active,” said Professor Bruno Arpino, adding that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve old people’s health, and too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working, being in social clubs, or volunteering. “Children should take into account their parents’ needs, willingness, and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare,” he suggested.
28. What does the underlined word “those” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Grandchildren. B. Researchers.
C. Findings. D. Seniors.
29. What is TRUE about Arpino’s opinion about caregiving
A. Grandparents live a healthier life with right amounts of caring work.
B. Caregivers are helpful for grandparents to find a job in social clubs.
C. Grandparents are really the best choice for childcare.
D. Childcare makes old people completely lose touch with social activities.
30. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To share the experience of caregiving with readers.
B. To report the findings of a study.
C. To give the senior advice on how to live longer.
D. To remind readers of the skills of childcare.
31. What is the best title of the text
A. Caregiving and Children’s Life
B. Grandparents and Family’s Happiness
C. Caregiving and Old People’s Health
D. Grandparents and Social Responsibility

What exactly is technology There aren't any easy answers. Despite the fact that technology has re-mained one of the most controversial areas of modern science, especially when linked to human life or so-cial morals, much progress has been made in recent years, which has made the experts and common peo-ple think again.
Technology is the application of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of the ordinary people, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars, television sets, cell phones, robots and so on. However, technology has also increased the a-mount of food available to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animal breeding techniques, and has extended our life span through medical technology.
Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer may be yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and devel-opment, and the latest statistics show that developed countries are continuing to pump billions of dollars every year into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce (稀少的) resources we may well find technological substitutes for many of them through our research programs．
Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production（land, labor and capital）are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills or techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.
32. Which of the following statements best summarizes the author's main points？
A. Science is the most important part of modern technology．
B. Technology has nothing to do with the major factors of production．
C. Modern technology is the key to the improvement of standard of living．
D. Technology leads to more needs in production and human life．
33. What's the author's attitude toward modern technology？
A. Favorable． B. Indifferent． C. Negative． D. Doubtful．
34. What could be inferred from Paragraph 3？
A. Technology has increased the amount of food．
B. Technology can definitely make people live long．
C. Technology can soon create non-renewable resources．
D. Technology progress depends on more expenses and efforts．
35. Where is this article probably from？
A. A report to the government． B. A school textbook．
C. Latest news in a newspaper． D. A scientific magazine．

The most common forms of live stream marketing
Online Marketplaces
Online marketplaces like Taobao and Jingdong allow users to buy and sell products without ever leaving their homes. But the addition of live video streaming is proving vital to keep buyers interested.

A series of massive thunder storms hit our area recently, causing flash flooding and knocking down tree branches and even trees, I had spent the afternoon picking up branches out of my yard and throwing them away. Then just before I was getting ready to take my dogs for their last walk of the day, the warnings came on my television and over my phone that another of these storms was heading our way.
I quickly took my dogs outside. Huge clouds were rolling in while thunder boomed over the hills. I knew that the stars were shining but I certainly couldn’t see them. The darkness seemed darker and scarier than usual because I knew what was on the way. That was when I saw it. The tiniest blink (闪亮) of light, up high, at the far end of the grassland behind my House. I smiled. The first of the fireflies had appeared for the summer at just the time I needed to see his light. Soon a few others were blinking their lights as well. It amazed me how far their light traveled in. the darkness of the night and how they didn’t seem bothered at all by the approaching storm. I spent an extra few minutes watching my lightening bug friends and taking in their message of light before heading in to get ready for the storm. As I did, though, I noticed that the darkness no longer seemed so scary and that my fear had been replaced with joy.

House work might seem a drag, but researchers have suggested tasks like dusting, sweeping floors and washing the windows might help adults to stay healthy into old age. Writing in the journal BMJ Open, a Singapore-based team of researchers said regular physical activity “improves physical and mental health, and relieves the risks and effects of chronic diseases among older adults”.
The team randomly chose adults from the town of Yishun in Singapore, and asked them to complete cognitive function tests as well as activities to assess their physical capabilities, such as standing up from a chair as quickly as they could. Participants were also quizzed on their levels of physical activity, including the amount of light housework and heavy housework they did, and were assessed for their risk of having a fall based on measures such as knee extension strength. The study involved 249 participants aged 21-64 and 240 participants aged 65- 90. Most of those who reported doing high levels of heavy or light housework were women.
After taking into account factors including age and sex, the team found cognitive scores and attention scores were 8% and 14% higher respectively for older adults doing high amounts of heavy housework— on average 131 minutes a week— compared with low levels, which appeared to amount to none at all. Sit-to-stand times were lower for older adults reporting high amounts of heavy housework compared with low amounts，while they were also assessed as being at lower risk of having a fall.
Dr Shiou-Liang Wee, the co-author of the research, said health messaging on staying active should not just be about recreational (娱乐的) physical activities. “Housework is a purposeful activity performed by many older adults. Independent of recreation, commuting (通勤) and other work-related physical activity, heavy housework is linked to sharper memory and better falls protection in older adults,” he said.
28. What does the team find
A. Housework is a drag to the aged.
B. Health is connected with regular exercise.
C. Only doing housework can the aged stay healthy.
D. Regular physical activity is dangerous for the aged.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The research procedure. B. The research result.
C. The research purpose. D. The research institution.
30. What was considered in the study
A. Intelligence and age. B. Education and sex.
C Age and sex, D. Family and income.
31. What may Shiou-Liang Wee agree with
A. Commuting is linked to sharper memory.
B. Heavy housework equals recreational activity.
C. People only need recreational physical activity for health.
D. Recreational physical activity shouldn’t replace housework.

When sorting through the apples at the grocery store, you see an ugly, strange-looking apple. Whether it’s a strange color, has spots, or is a strange shape, you wonder how it made it onto the shelves. Who would buy and eat this Most people would not buy ugly produce. That is why it is rare to see ugly-shaped fruit or off-colored vegetables. So what happens to this produce
Data have shown that 20%-40% of fruits and vegetables are rejected even before they reach grocery stores. And even more are rejected on site, because grocery stores and companies have incredibly high standards for what their produce should look like. That includes color, shape, size, weight, and length. And the food that doesn’t meet these standards is thrown away. There are incredibly strict laws about food donation that actually makes it illegal to donate food that doesn’t meet standards that are similar to those of the grocery store as well as laws that restrict this food from being used as animal feed.
Besides, 10% of rich countries greenhouse gas emissions come from food that was grown and never eaten. Food waste not only contributes to climate change, but also food insecurity and extreme poverty. As stated above, in the greatest food wasting countries, there are laws that confine produce from being donated to people in need.
By reducing food waste, a third of the world’s entire food supply could be saved. That’s enough to feed 3 billion people. Also, by reducing food waste, farmers all over the world could sell more of their produce and inspire their rural, agricultural economies. There are many ways to get involved in ending food waste! You can participate in advocacy events hosted nearby like with Feedback Global, who hosts an event called “Feeding the 5000” where they seek to feed 5000 people with food that would have otherwise been wasted. Encourage your local grocer to sell ugly produce. Food is food!
32. Why is ugly-shaped fruit rarely seen at the grocery store
A. It is not tasty or nutritious. B. Farmers would not plant it.
C. Most people are not fond of it. D. Few people choose to purchase it.
33. What happens to ugly-shaped fruit or off-colored vegetables
A. They are consumed. B. They are donated.
C. They are wasted. D. They are buried.
34. What does the underlined word “confine” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Refuse. B. Restrict. C. Contact. D. Protect.
35. What would be a suitable title for the text
A. Ugly fruit could lead to a prettier world
B. Food waste makes 3 billion people in poverty

Koch's Favorite Fitness Apps
People spent money on gym memberships. But according to fitness and tech reporter Peter Koch, 67 percent of them never went It may be wise then to try a fitness app, many of which are more cost-effective than going to a health club.
Aaptiv
Aaptiv allows users to choose from a variety of different workouts, including stretching classes, yoga classes, boxing and weightlifting, according to Koch. It also provides guided audio （音频）workouts， so there’s no reason to look at a phone screen， he says.
Nike + Run Club
Nike +Run Club doesn't just track and log your runs with a GPS, Koch says, it also provides audio-guided runs. “I’m a runner myself since high school, and the one thing I see among inexperienced runners is that they tend to go out and run roughly the same distance at roughly the same pace every time, " Koch says. “It’s easy to understand why their fitness might plateau or they might lose interest over time. ”
Fitbod

Tash was waiting in line at the supermarket when she noticed the young mum 'in front of her struggling to pay her bill. Tash knew it was only a matter of time before the woman's young child became fussy（难缠的），and she felt for the mum，who appeared upset and embarrassed.
Having been in a similar position in the past, Tash didn't hesitate to jumping and pay for her shopping. Her reasoning was simple: “Pay it forward. " "It was just really nice to help her out, ” Tash says. “It was only $ 50 or something like that, it wasn't a huge amount. But afterwards, the woman gave me a hug and had tears in her eyes. · and I got a bit emotional as well. ”
“In today's day and age, with what we're all going through, just to get that feeling of, ‘OH wow, there is good out there, it's nice to hear there is a bit of humanity, " Tash says.
People start to help others by doing things for other people. But you don't have to break the bank, or even open your wallet, to give paying it forward a go. Psychologist Dr Lishman says offering compliments or praise to strangers, or hand-making items or food for those in need, can serve the same purpose. Alternatively，donating clothes or books to a charity or mentoring（指导）a student can also be considered ways to get involved. All you need is to set out with the intention of helping someone you don't know, without any expectation of reward, acknowledgement or payback.
That can lead to an increased sense of connection and a rise in feel-good hormones, which floods us with positive emotions. Knowing that our good deeds can make a "massive difference” to someone else's mental health and mood can also boost our own wellbeing.
24. What did we know about the young mum

Topher White spends a lot of time walking in the forest and thinking about how quickly we're losing it. He is making an effort to stop global deforestation（滥伐）. Founder of the San Francisco -based Nonprofit Rainforest Connection, White has developed a simple but ingenious strategy: using old cell phones to listen for the sound of destruction.
Forests are disappearing worldwide and fast, which not only harms wildlife, including many species that live nowhere else, but also contributes to climate change. “I didn't know any of this stuff when I started, ” says White, who began his journey in 2011, when he traveled to Indonesian Borneo to help decreasing gibbons（长臂猿）.
Between 50 and 90 percent of the logging（采伐）that happens in the world’s rain forests is illegal, according to White, yet detecting that activity can be tough. So he has developed a system in which he uses a cell phone staying charged by solar cells and an extra microphone. From there, the device can detect the sounds of chainsaws（电锯）nearly a mile away.
Because it's unfeasible to have people listening to the devices all the time, he added some "old-school data analysis, ” so that the cell phone's computers can distinguish a chainsaw's sound from others in the forest. This way, his device can automatically detect logging activity and send a text alert to authorities who can determine if it's illegal and then stop it.
So far, his monitoring system has been used in Cameroon, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil and will soon be deployed in Bolivia. It’s not just about listening for logging. Also, it can pick out the sounds of specific birds, which is why White sees the forest recordings as a potential science tool. He is urging biologists and ecologists to use his monitoring system anywhere, whether it's a remote forest or a park in London. “The more we learn about these places, ” he says, “the easier it will be to protect them. ”
28. What made Topher White decide to stop global deforestation
A. The problem of global climate change.
B. The association of Nonprofit Rainforest Connection.
C. The experience of travelling to Indonesian Borneo in 2011.
D. The desire to find new uses for old cell phones.
29. What does the underlined word "unfeasible" in paragraph 4 mean
A . Impractical. B. Unwilling. C . Impassive. D. Unnecessary.
30. In Topher White's opinion, we can protect nature more easily through
A. updating advanced technology B. our better understanding of it
C. developing strong teamwork spirit D. growing environmental awareness
31. What could be the best title for the text

“Best space tacos（玉米卷饼）yet，”American astronaut. Megan McAnhur wrote on social media Twitter on Oct 30, with a photo of her smiling from ear to ear. The taco feast celebrated the first time peppers were successfully grown on the Intonational Space Station.
"Growing colorful vegetables in space can have long-term benefits for physical and psychological health, ” said Matt Romeyn, project scientist at NASA, in-a statement. The benefits of growing vegetables in space are obvious, but how are they grown
Though astronauts have been growing plants in space for decades，cultivatingedible（可食用 的）food without the benefits of gravity and natural light has been difficult. A plant growth system called. Veggie has been used to grow plants on the space station since 2014, according to The New York Times.
The Veggie garden is about the size of a piece of luggage and typically holds six plants. Each plant grows in a "pillow" filled with clay and fertilizer. The "pillows" are important for distributing water, nutrients and air in a healthy balance around the roots. Otherwise, the roots would either drown in water or be swallowed by air because liquids in space tend to form bubbles（气泡）， according to NASA.
In the absence of gravity, plants use other environmental factors, such as light, to guide growth. LEDs above the plants produce a light suited for the plants' growth. According to NASA, Veggie typically glows（发光）pink，which enables plants to use both blue and red wavelengths more efficiently. Other spectrums of light, like greens, yellows or oranges, are less useful for plants.
So far, US astronauts have successfully grown 10 different crops, including lettuce and radish, on the space station since 2015, according to CNN.
Why pick peppers
According to CNN, peppers were chosen for multiple reasons. Peppers provide a great source of vitamin C，as well as other key nutrients. Pepper plants self-pollinate（自授花粉的），so. they are easy to grow. And they are a pick-and-eat crop that. Doesn’t have to be cooked. They also contain low microbial levels, so they are safe to eat raw.
32. What's the Matt's attitude to planting in space according to paragraph 2
A. Indifferent. B. Cautious. C. Favorable. D. Ambiguous.
33. What can we learn about Veggie in the text
A. It has been used for planting in space over one decade.
B. It helps to form more bubbles for the plants' roots.
C. It absorbs the harmful light for the plants' growth.
D. It provides an adjustable plant growth system.
34. Why were peppers picked to be grown on the space station
A. They contain key nutrients for astronauts.
B. They have been grown in space for a long time.
C. They meet all requirements for planting in space.
D. They are the safest ingredients for space tacos.
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear

Getting mixed families together isn't always an easy task and some children can be left feeling hurt or angry when their parents remarry. But one woman has made sure her new stepson knows exactly how much she appreciates him, by dedicating part of her wedding vows （誓言）to him.
Vanessa Lynch, 30, became stepmum to nine-year-old Henry when she tied the knot with Craig Lynch and after making her vows to her new husband, she turned her attention to the young boy. Her vows said, "Henry, I know I wasn't there for your first steps or your first words, but I promise I will be there for many more of your firsts.

A good education is an excellent way to land a successful career and develop your personality. But can education also have a positive effect on our brains as we get older A team of researchers under the University Research Priority Program "Dynamics of Healthy Aging" led by Lutz Jancke, professor of neuropsychology at the University of Zurich, has now explored this question in a long-term study.
The researchers followed more than 200 senior citizens for over seven years. The study participants are not affected by dementia（痴呆）, have average to above-average intelligence and lead highly active social lives. Based on complex statistical analyses, the researchers were able to show that academic education had a positive effect on age-related brain degeneration （衰退）.
The findings revealed that over the course of seven years, senior citizens with an academic background showed a significantly lower increase in typical signs of brain degeneration. "In addition, academics also processed information faster and more accurately—for example, when matching letters and numbers of patterns. The decline in their mental processing performance was lower overall, "summarizes Lutz J ncke.
The findings add to initial findings of other research groups, who have found that education has a positive effect on brain aging. Previous studies also suggest that mental processing speed depends on the integrity（完整性）of neural networks in the brain. I these networks are affected, mental processing speed decreases.
"Even though no one can explain the causal link between education and reduced natural brain degeneration so far, the following at least seems likely: We suspect that a high level of education leads to an increase in neural and cognitive networks over the course of people's lives, and that they build up reserves, so to speak. In old age, their brains are then better able to make up for any injury that occurs, "says Lutz J ncke.
28. From the first paragraph, we know a good education
A. contributes to one's career success B. changes one's appearance
C. can ensure one's physical health D. helps one get whatever he needs
29. How did researchers draw their conclusion
A. By referring to other research. B. By reasonable prediction.
C. Through doing experiments. D. Through data studies.
30. Which of the following may researchers agree with
A. Academics are not good at matching letters.
B. High academic level slows brain degeneration.
C. Academics experience fast brain degeneration.
D. Brain degeneration has no connection with education.
31. What is unclear about the findings
A. How a good education affects our brains.
B. What effects education has on our brains.
C. Why education positively affects our brains.

The accelerating melting of the Himalayan glaciers threatens the water supply of millions of people in Asia, new research warns. The study, led by the University of Leeds, concludes that over recent decades the Himalayan glaciers have lost ice ten times more quickly over the last few decades than that on average since the last major glacier expansion 400-700 years ago, a period known as the Little Ice Age.
The study also reveals that the Himalavan glaciers are shrinking far more rapidly than glaciers in other parts of the world—a rate of loss the researchers describe as "exceptional". The paper, published in Scientific Reports, made a reconstruction of the size and ice surfaces of 14, 798 Himalayan glaciers during the Little Ice Age. The researchers calculate that the glaciers have lost around 40 per cent of their area—shrinking from a peak of 28, 000 km to around 19, 600 km today.
The Himalayan mountain range is home to the world's third-largest amount of glacier ice, after Antarctica and the Arctic and is often referred to as "the Third Pole". The acceleration of melting of the Himalayan glaciers has significant impacts on hundreds of millions of people who depend on Asia's major river systems for food and energy.
The Himalayan glaciers are generally losing ice much faster in the eastern regions. The study suggests this variation is probably due to differences in geographical features on the two sides of the mountain range and their interaction with the atmosphere.
Dr Carrivick, the leader of the study, said, "While we must act urgently to reduce and relieve the impact of human-made climate change on the glaciers and meltwater-fed rivers, the modelling of that impact on glaciers must also take account of the role of factors such as lakes and debris（杂物垃圾）. "
32. What may be the result of the accelerating melting of the Himalayan glaciers
A. Himalayan is getting warmer.
B. The whole world is going towards Ice Age.
C. The Arctic glaciers expand frequently.
D. Asia's water, food and energy are under threat.
33. What can we learn from the text
A. Climate change is the main cause of the melting of glaciers.
B. The study came to its conclusion after some experiments.
C. The Himalayan glaciers have the largest amount of ice.
D. The Himalayan glaciers have lost ice since it existed.
34. Why are the eastern regions of the Himalayan glaciers losing ice much faster
A. Because of the activities of mountain climbers.
B. Because of the time of sunlight.
C. Because of the amount of glacier ice.
D. Because of different landforms.
35. What would be a suitable title for the text
A. Asian people are in danger of water supply
B. The eastern region of Himalaya melts faster
C. Himalayan glaciers are melting at an unusual rate
D. The Himalayan mountain range has more glacier ice
