Now 2022 is here, a whole host of new museums are opening their doors for the very first time. Here are four of the most exciting museum openings of the year.
Museum of Art & Photography
Opening towards the end of the year, this brand-new gallery in southern India was founded by businessman Abhishek Poddar. He’s known for his fantastic collection of art and photography and more than 18, 000 of his own pieces will be on display here. Expect everything from textiles to sculpture and painting. Can’t make it out to Bengaluru The museum is going to have digital exhibits on its website, so you can get your culture fix remotely.
Grand Egypt Museum
When it finally opens in November 2022, the Grand Egypt Museum will be the biggest museum in the world dedicated to a single civilization. The museum’s display will include 50, 000 artifacts, but most importantly, this will be the first time that all 5, 000 pieces of King Tutankhamun’s treasure will be displayed in the same place since its discovery. You can also enjoy the feast on https://grandegyptianmuseum.org.
Maison Gainsbourg
The Parisian townhouse where the French singer Serge Gainsbourg lived has been closed off to the public since his death in 1991. This spring, though, it’ll finally open as a museum dedicated to his life and work. The main attraction will surely be Serge’s famously odd living area, with its piano and huge collection of sculptures.
Hong Kong Palace Museum
Expected to open in July 2022, the Hong Kong Palace Museum will house nine galleries, full of rare books, traditional calligraphy and imperial treasures on loan from the Forbidden City in Beijing. It’s family-friendly, too: the complex will feature education rooms, nursery spaces and interactive experiences aimed specifically at kids.

I was swinging on the front gate, trying to decide whether to play with Verna, when I saw a tramp come up the road.
―Hello, little girl, he said. ―Is your mama at home
I nodded and swung the gate open to let him in the yard. He looked like all the tramps who came to our house. His dirty hair hung below a shapeless hat, and his threadbare shirt and trousers had been rained on and slept in. He smelled like a bonfire.
He dragged himself to the door. When my mother appeared, he asked, ―Lady, could you spare a bite to eat
―I think so. Please sit on the step.
He dropped onto the narrow wooden platform that served as the front porch of our two-room frame house. In minutes my mother handed him a big sandwich and a tin cup of milk. ―Thank you, lady, he said.
I watched the tramp wolf down the sandwich and drain the cup. Then he told me ―They said your mama would feed me.
Verna had said the tramps told one another who would feed them. ―They never come to my house, she had announced proudly.
So why does Mama feed them I wondered. A widow, she worked as a waitress in the mornings and sewed at night to earn money. Why should she give anything to men who didn’t work at all
I marched inside: ―Verna’s mother says those men are too lazy to work. Why do we feed them
My mother smiled. ―We don’t know why those men don’t work, she said. ―But they were babies once. And their mothers loved them, like I love you. She put her hands on my shoulders and drew me close to her apron, which smelled of flour and freshly baked bread.
―I feed them for their mothers, because if you were ever hungry and had nothing to eat, I would want their mothers to feed you.

China successfully launched 22 new satellites in a single ride on Sunday morning, setting a new national record, from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in southern Hainan Province.
A modified (改进的) version of China’s Long March-8 carrier rocket blasted off (发射升空) at 11:06 am and flew for more than 15 minutes before deploying all of the 22 small satellites into their designated (指定的) orbits.
The satellites, built by seven institutes and private companies, have individual tasks including collecting commercial remote-sensing data, environmental monitoring, forest fire prevention and disaster reduction.
“You can call it a shared rocket if you want, said Xiao Yun”, the commander in chief for the launch. “We prepare one or two types of rockets every year for that. If there are many satellites to launch, we use a big rocket. If only a few to launch, we have smaller rockets.”
Today’s launch marks the 409th mission of China’s Long March rocket series.
Long March-8 has been redesigned and this is the second launch of the Long March-8 rocket, which is designed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) aiming at commercial launches. The first mission launched in late 2020.
It’s clearly noticeable in the launch video that the new rocket lacks the two boosters (助推器) found on its predecessor (上一代), which means the design is one step closer to making the first stages reusable like SpaceX’s Falcon 9.
Reusable design can save launch costs and help achieve better commercial success.
“The Long March-8 can launch 3 tonnes of satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) or medium Earth orbit”, said Wu Yitian, deputy chief designer of the rocket. “Such rockets are urgently needed by the market, especially to launch Earth observation satellites.”
A China Media Group report said the Long March-8 will hopefully become the main type for future LEO missions.
28. What does the underlined word “deploying” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Placing. B. Applying. C. Lifting. D. Linking.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is equipped with two boosters.
B. Reusable design of rockets has a promising future.
C. The 22 small satellites launched have a common task.
D. LEO missions have adopted the Long March-8 as its main type.
30. Why is Long March-8 called a “shared” rocket
A. One or two rockets are shared per year.
B. Satellites share the same commercial tasks.
C. Satellites launched into space share one rocket.
D. Rocket launches have been shared among institutes.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Reusable Design has been A Trend in Rocket Making Industry.
B. Shared Rockets have Achieved Remarkable Success in the Market.
C. China Successfully Launches Multi-functional Satellites into Space.
D. China Sends 22 Satellites into Orbit with Redesigned Long March-8.
D
Researchers in the US treated healthy mice with a form of gene therapy that refreshed older cells, making the animals more youthful according to biological markers that are used to measure the effects of ageing.
The findings will fuel interest in new therapies that aim to slow the ageing process as a means of dealing with age-related diseases such as cancer, brittle bones and Alzheimer‘s.
“A host of age-related diseases might benefit from this approach,” said Heinrich Jasper, a principal fellow and director at the US biotech firm Genentech. The scientists drew on previous work by the Japanese Nobel laureate Prof Shinya Yamanaka, who showed that a mixture of four molecules — known as Yamanaka factors — can rewind adult cells into youthful stem cells that are capable of forming almost any tissue in the body.
Writing in the journal Nature Aging, the US team led by Jasper and Prof Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte at the Salk Institute in California and the San Diego Altos Institute, found that mice who received Yamanaka factors for several months resembled younger animals in many ways, with their skin and kidneys in particular showing signs of rejuvenation.
The experiments showed that rejuvenation was more effective when the therapy was given for a long time — seven to 10 months — starting when the animals were 12 to 15 months old, equal to age 35 to 50 in humans. When older animals, equal to 80 years old in human terms, were treated for one month, the scientists saw little impact.
Researchers are cautious about using Yamanaka factors in humans because previous work has shown that fully reprogrammed cells can turn into clumps of cancerous tissue called teratomas.
The latest study shows that partial reprogramming may be able to rejuvenate tissues without such risks, but further challenges remain. Rather than using Yamanaka factors to rejuvenate aged humans, many scientists suspect that new drugs will be needed to partially reprogram cells safely and effectively.
“In theory, biological age reduction could be possible. However, we are at very early stages where we need to understand the basic science behind it much better,” said Dr Tamir Chandra, an expert in the biology of ageing at the University of Edinburgh, who was not involved in the study.
32. How did the US scientists do their research
A. By adding biological markers. B. By doing experiments on humans.
C. By comparing results from mice and humans. D. By making use of a Japanese professor’s work.
33. What is the fourth paragraph about
A. The findings of the US team. B. The method of the US team.
C. The composition of the US team. D. The working principle of the US team.
34 Which of the following will Dr. Tamir Chandra agree
A. Biological age reduction will only exist in theory.
B. We have known enough about biological age reduction.
C. There is still a long way to go for biological age reduction.
D. The latest study about biological age reduction was not scientific.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The ways to reduce age for humans.
B. An experiment by a Japanese professor.
C. A form of gene therapy used to refresh mice’s cells.
D. The treatments for age-related diseases found by some researchers.

I grew up in Algeria and as a female, I’ve had to pay an extra price throughout my scientific journey as a result. I knew studying abroad would be key to my success, so I was extremely excited when I won a scholarship to attend a British university for graduate school. But there was one condition: I needed to take an English test. I was fluent in Arabic and French, the languages spoken in Algeria, but I didn’t have a solid grasp of English. I learned it hard but didn’t score high enough to secure entrance. I had to stay in Algeria to complete a master’s degree instead. But I kept learning English on my own. Two years later, I earned a Ph. D. scholarship to study in Switzerland.
Midway through my Ph. D. , a professor remarked, “ You are quite productive, but why don’t you publish in the regular journals in our field ” Shocked, I responded, “ What do you mean by regular journals ” He gave a few examples of all journals dominated by researchers from the Global North. I had been publishing my papers in specialized, low impact journals. That was counted as a great achievement in my home country, where even professors struggle to get published. Now, I realized that the scientific accomplishments abroad I was proud of were regarded as below average at best. The professor’s comment heartened me to adjust my research to address issues of broader interest. By the time I graduated, I had started publishing in so-called “ regular ” journals, which helped me land a postdoctoral degree in Canada.
I told all this to the members of my lab, adding that they were privileged to grow u speaking English and have access to tremendous expertise and funding. Facing global inequities, I’ve started to try using a preprint server to integrate an English language proofing (校对) system into its platform, which would connect authors who need language help. We can take steps to make the global scientific community more inclusive. And I want to be part of that push for change.
24. Why was the author unable to go to a British university
A. She didn’t learn English. B. She failed the English test.
C. She lacked a master’s degree. D. She got the lowest entrance score.
25. What does the author think of the comment of the professor in Switzerland
A. Confusing. B. Heartless. C. Regular. D. Inspiring.
26. What’s the aim of the preprint server
A. To aid those who need help with language.
B. To make the global community more inclusive.
C. To set up a platform where English authors write.
D. To establish an English language proofing system.
27. Which words can best describe the author
A. Honest and athletic. B. Humble and considerate.
C. Strong willed and positive. D. Energetic and sympathetic.
C
In autumn 2021, as leaders from across the globe gathered on Glasgow to talk about the impact of human-caused climate change, a group of artists, architects and researchers in Australia came a way to document the planet’s end by storing data in a massive metal stone in Tasmania. Known as Earth’s Black Box,the project, equal parts art installation and time capsule, aims to document the physical changes caused by global warming and humanity’s geopolitical response to them.
The installation’s name is a nod to a common aviation practice. The commercial airplane and private aircraft are equipped with a “ black box ” , a mechanism that automatically logs important flight details like altitude, airspeed and equipment functionality. These boxes, which are usually bright orange rather than black, are designed to withstand extreme temperatures as well as immense amounts of force and pressure. They are sometimes the only objects that survive a plane crash intact, allowing investigators to reconstruct a timeline of what went wrong in the aftermath.
Earth’s Black Box draws inspiration from these mechanisms. The vault (穹顶) will be made from specially designed, 3-inch-thick reinforced steel, chosen for its resistance to fire and water damage as well as its toughness and firmness. Along with the University of Tasmania and a collective of artists, an Australian communications firm plans to build the 33-foot-long vault in a remote part of western Tasmania. They chose the location for its relative geological and geopolitical stability. Unlike an airplane’s flight recorder, however, Earth’s Black Box is not meant to withstand total planetary destruction. If Earth were to somehow explode, for instance, it probably wouldn’t survive. Instead, the artists and data scientists behind the project think of it as a way to log the progression of Earth’ s current ecological collapse, which is already profoundly changing the environment.
“At its core, the box is intended to be a symbol of the disastrous situation we find ourselves in, ” says Curtis, an expert on the project. “ And more importantly, it’s intended to hold our leaders to account by being an unmissable structure that reminds them that their actions or inaction will be recorded for generations to come. ”
28. What is the purpose of Earth’s Black Box
A. To keep a record. B. To perform monitoring.
C. To handle downloads. D. To make predictions.
29. What does the underlined word “ intact ” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Bright and colorful. B. Complete and undamaged.
C. Inactive and disconnected. D. Important and multifunctional.
30. How is the steel used to build the Earth’s Black Box’s vault
A. Leaky, tough and firm. B. Hot, breakable and explosive.
C. Water resistant, heat resisting and solid. D. Damp, physically stable and eco-friendly.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Global Leaders Are Aiming at Global Warming
B. Human- caused Climate Change Is Having a Big Impact
C. Earth’s Black Box Can Save Us from Disastrous Situations
D. Earth’s Black Box Warns of Its End Due to Climate Change
D
A team of researchers has found how to use math to study paintings to learn more about how the art developed in the western world. In their paper published in Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences, the group describes how they scanned thousands of paintings and then used mathematical algorithms (算法) to find commonalties between them over time.
Beauty, as the saying goes, is in the eye of the beholder — and so it is also with art. Two people looking at the same painting can walk away with vastly different impressions. The study of art history can serve as a channel — casting light on societal trends over time. The researchers further note that to date, most studies of art history have been qualitatively (定性地) based, which has led to the results with prejudice. To overcome it, the researchers with this new effort look to math to see if it might be useful in uncovering features of paintings that have been overlooked by human scholars.
The work involved digitally scanning 14,912 paintings — all of which ( except for two ) were painted by Western artists. The data for each of the paintings was then sent through a mathematical algorithm that drew partitions on the digital images based on contrasting colors. The researchers ran the algorithm on each painting multiple times, each time creating more sections to study. For example, the first run of the algorithm might have simply created two sections on a painting — everything on land and everything in the sky. The second might have split the land into buildings in one section and farmland in another.
The researchers then ran other algorithms designed to look for patterns between the paintings. Doing so allowed them to see trends like painting styles that predominated during certain eras and long-term trends, such as the placement of the horizon (地平线). The researchers found that over the past several hundred years, painters have been placing it increasingly higher. In the 17th century, the separation between Earth and sky dominated landscapes — those done in more modern times, in sharp contrast, have the horizon very near the top of the painting.
32. Which of the following is the finding of the researchers
A. A way to research paintings. B. The development of western art.
C. The similarities between art and math. D. A scientific paper on painting and math.
33. What did the researchers expect to do with math
A. Interpret the results of painting qualitatively. B. Make a more objective study of paintings.
C. Uncover the features of human scholars. D. Deepen the impression of paintings.
34. How were the algorithms carried out
A. By observing buildings and farmland.
B. By linking land paintings with sky paintings.
C. By analyzing the various parts of the paintings.
D. By classifying the different colors of the paintings.
35. What can we learn about the location of the horizon in the painting
A. It has varied over time.
B. It is always very near the top.
C. It was only placed at the bottom in the 17th century.
D. It has not changed over the past several hundred years.

Francisco Fernandez died after falling off a motorbike. The 45-year-old was a beloved community figure. But with a public-facing job and a spot on his lung, he was considered a possible COVID-19 carrier. A doctor ordered his family to bury him quickly, against Philippine tradition, and all eight people who lived with him were put under a 14-day quarantine(隔离) in their crowded home.
Yet when Anthony Cortez, the doctor who had ordered the rushed burial and quarantine, arrived to check on the Fernandez family, none of them expressed anger. Instead, faces lit up and the kids waved eagerly.
Cortez, the only community doctor in Bambang, has overseen their medical care for years. They trust him, and he makes them laugh. The family gathered outside to have their temperatures taken by the doctor. When the kids tried to give Cortez high fives for not having a fever, the 56-year-old, in a surgical mask, face shield, and rubber gloves, showed "air fives" instead. For the 56 000 people living in Bambang, Cortez is their primary caregiver and the first responder.
When the first coronavirus(冠状病毒) case in the Philippines was confirmed on January 30, the town's response fell to Cortez. He and Mayor Pepito Balgos decided to take action based on science that, if necessary, would go beyond national restrictions. Cortez and Balgos are sharply aware of the threat the virus poses to Bambang, which sits in a valley surrounded by mountains. Anyone going south to Manila or north toward the rest of the country ends up passing through Bambang.
Cortez quickly set up a system of contact tracing. Using information from the town's 25 villages, he made a list of all the people who had traveled to other countries, and placed them under strict home quarantine. Anyone with symptoms would be moved to a center set up in the mountains. So far that center has remained empty.
"It is safer to assume that everybody is positive," he explained.
4. What is Cortez' reaction to the death of Francisco Fernandez
A. Expressing his sympathy. B. Drowning himself into mourn.
C. Showing professional sensitivity. D. Following the tradition.
5. On what basis does Cortez take strict measures to protect Bambang
A. Its geographic character. B. Its lack of medical staff.
C. Its large population. D. The demand of the nation.
6. What can be inferred about the contact tracing system by Cortez
A. It is totally a waste of effort. B. It is complained about by local people.
C. It is praised by higher authorities. D. It is effective as a protective means.
7. Where is this text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A novel. C. A magazine. D. A biography.
C
Scientists can't predict earthquakes. But toads(蟾蜍) might be able to.
In the spring of 2010, Rachel Grant, a researcher in life sciences, was studying a population of toads in a large dry lake in central Italy. Common toads reproduce once a year, sometimes traveling great distances to gather at their breeding(繁殖) grounds, and Grant was looking at whether her subjects were using the cycles of the moon to coordinate their romantic encounters.
In the previous three years, she had watched the toads increase in number when the moon grew from new to full. But that year was different. The moon became almost full, and suddenly the toads were gone. “It went from there being 90 to 100 toads down to six, and then to one, and then zero," says Grant.
“I was at a loss. Did somebody come and disturb them Did somebody run through with a tractor But that didn't seem right. Toads get run over by cars all the time, and that doesn't make them run away," she says.
Five days after the toads disappeared, she had a possible answer: an earthquake struck in the middle of the night. The 6.3-magnitude quake was the deadliest to hit Italy in nearly 30 years, killing roughly 300 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless.
Grant stayed to count her toads in spite of the aftershocks. When a full moon rose three days after the quake, a few toads risked a return. But then their numbers dropped again, remaining low until two days after the last aftershock—a full 10 days after the first quake. “It's never been reported to have happened before," says Grant. “Once they’re breeding, then they’re breeding. That's it. ”
The question now, says Grant, is whether seismologists(地震学家) can do anything with her research to try to predict the next big one. “A lot of people are asking, ‘Can we use them as a kind of monitoring tool, keep one at home and watch to see if they run away ’” says Grant. “That's obviously not going to work.” But she's hoping something might.
What was Grant's main purpose in going to the large dry lake in Italy
A. To use toads to predict earthquakes. B. To study toads during an earthquake.
C. To check the number of toads there. D. To study toads’ breeding activities.
9. What was unusual about the toads before the earthquake
A. Their number increased when a new moon rose.
B. Their number increased when the moon became full.
C. They disappeared just before the moon became full.
D. They disappeared when a new moon rose.
10. What does Grant really mean by stating “I was at a loss”
A. She felt sorry for the toads. B. She felt puzzled at what she saw.
C. She felt fearful about the earthquake. D. She felt sad about what somebody had done.
11. When did the number of toads begin to increase after the earthquake
A. When the moon began to rise. B. After the aftershocks stopped.
C. Two days after the earthquake. D. Three days after the moon became full.
D
An 85-year-old primary school constructed in 1935 in Shanghai has been lifted off the ground in its entirety and relocated using new technology called the “walking machine.” The project marks the first time this “walking machine” method has been used in Shanghai to relocate a historical building.
Urbanization(都市化)has continued to significantly threaten architectural heritage. In the capital Beijing, for instance, more than 1,000 acres of its historic hutongs and traditional courtyard homes were destroyed between 1990 and 2010.
In the early 2000s, cities including Nanjing and Beijing-due to the critics’ protest about the loss of old neighborhoods-drew up long-term plans to preserve what was left of their historic sites, with protections introduced to safeguard buildings and restrict developers.
These conservation efforts have taken different forms. In Beijing, a near-ruined temple was transformed into a restaurant and gallery, while in Nanjing, a cinema from the 1930s was restored to its original form, with some additions providing it for modern use. In 2019, Shanghai welcomed Tank Shanghai, an arts center built in renovated(重修的)oil tanks.
“Relocation is not the first choice, but better than destroying,” said Lan, the Shanghai primary school’s project supervisor. “I’d rather not touch the historical buildings at all.” Building relocations he said however, are “a workable option.” “The central government is putting more emphasis on the protection of historical buildings. I’m happy to see that progress in recent years.”
Shanghai has arguably been China’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings and 19th-century “shikumen” (or “stone gate”) house have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life.
“We have to preserve the historical building no matter what, ” Lan said. “The relocation has challenges, but in general, it is cheaper than destroying and then rebuilding something in a new location.”
12. How did cities respond to the loss of historical sites
A. They criticized the developers. B. They rebuilt the historic hutongs.
C. They ended the significant threat. D. They proposed the protection project.

My brother Joe had a passion for driving cars. Fords in particular. He was especially fond of speed. It was enough to make my mother fear that he was crazy. But she had that fear about everyone, even herself.
When Joe was just a little boy, he would often say to me, “Sister, when I am old enough to get my license and drive my own car, I will fly so fast that angels will run scared.” With a big grin, he would imagine the scene. I could have told him it would never happen. No matter how old he got, he would never get a license, never drive a car. But I didn’t tell him that.
Joe was born blind. He couldn’t see his own face in a mirror. But he could dream like anyone. I didn’t want to be the one to dim Joe’s dreams. Life would do that for him, soon enough. Until then, didn’t he deserve his happiness
Joe had trouble not just with his eyes, but with his legs. He was born premature suffered from disabilities and could not walk until he was 5. That’s when he got his first “car”, a red Radio Flyer tricycle that he called his “49 Ford”. He couldn’t pedal it, so he would push it everywhere, sometimes even falling over.
Growing up is a tug of war between disappointment and surprise, between dreams and reality. By the time Joe was 12, I think he knew he would never get a license. As with the other hard facts of life, he seemed to accept it without question or bitterness, as if it were nothing more than a card drawn at random.
One hot summer day when he was 16, Joe went tapping out the driveway with his stick, finding his way to my stepfather’s 49 Ford. He ran his hand along the car, felt the heat of the metal, opened the door and climbed in.
He looked good.
Under the seat, he discovered a six-pack of Budweiser (百威啤酒). And he drank all six cans. He felt inside the car, found the keys, shouted, “Hooweece!” and fired it up.
I have heard various versions of this story. They all boil down to this: the Ford’s engine roared. My mother fainted. My stepfather rushed outside.
And my brother, after a moment of pure joy, threw up all over the car. Fortunately, for everyone, the Ford didn’t move an inch. But to this day, Joe still swears that when he found those keys and fired that old engine up, he heard the angels starting to flee.
24. What did the author do after finding out about Joe’s dream
A. She made fun of him.
B. She told him to face reality.

A few years back I worked in a university building that also housed a department full of psychologists, all of whom seemed to see us as perfect guinea pigs (豚鼠) for their latest theories. If an eager graduate student showed up in my office bearing desserts and asked me to pick one, I’d cast a careful glance and ask “Why ” before grabbing the apple pie.
So one day, when someone from the Psychology Department posted instructions in the bathroom persuading all of us to “Think about five things for which you’re grateful every day for a week!”, my response was frankly doubtful. I did the math. Five things a day for seven days is a lot of brainpower to use without so much as the promise of an apple pie.
I wandered into the office of Heidi Zetzer, the director of our school’s Psychological Services Clinic. “What’s with the gratitude thing ” I asked. You don’t ask an academic question--even a simple one unless you’re prepared for a long answer. Heidi came alive, and I sat down. That’s when I first heard the term “positive psychology”. The gratitude thing, as I had called it, was but one small and simple element of the practice. “Kind of like training the brain to focus on joy,” my friend Heidi explained. “It’s only a week,” she urged. “Try it.” I did. And guess what It worked.
Every day for a week, I found five distinct things for which I was thankful. They had to be different every day. I couldn’t get away with just being grateful for my wonderful husband. But I could, suggested Collie Conoley, another positive psychologist, express my gratitude for specific aspects of a certain person each day. He’s a great cook. He always puts our family first.
Life will never be perfect. I still see new stories that annoy me. The traffic in my city is maddening. I wish I could speed up my recovery. But with just one simple exercise, I’m rediscovering the peace of that old saying: accepting the things I can’t change, working without complaint to change what I can, and being wise enough to know the difference.
And all it took was a little gratitude.
28. What’s the author’s attitude toward the student with desserts
A. Respectful. B. Cautious. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive
29. Why was the author doubtful about the instructions
A. Because she didn’t like expressing thanks often.

D. Because she could do five things every day easily.
30. What did Collie Conoley suggest the author should do

B. Be thankful for things but not people.

D. Be a great cook and put her family first.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. Don’t Be Bothered by Small Things
B. Being Grateful to One Good Person
C. We Can Change Everything If We Want
D. Practicing Gratitude Changed My Life

When my great-grandmother died in the mid-90s, we found a number of questionable collections in her house, including a paper bag filled cleaned-out egg shells and a very poisonous jar of mercury (水银). In short: She was totally a hoarder (囤积者). Had she lived to see the age of reality television, we could have put her on A&E’s Hoarders, which tracks the lives of people who can’t stop thinking about collecting something and can’t bring themselves to throw things away.
Though it’s not yet considered an official problem, somewhere around 5 percent of Americans, or 15 million people, struggle with non-stopping collecting behaviors. After years of being considered as a OCD (强迫症), in May, hoarding will officially be recognized as its own clear Sickness In DSM, the standard book of sicknesses used by mental health professionals to classify mental health issues.
Though the research is still early, studies have shown hoarding is related to thinking-related differences in processes like decision-making, sorting and separating and labeling. In studies of people with hoarding problems, the areas of the brain connected with decision making lit up more when making choices about material objects, showing more emotional engagement with items than usual. Another study found that hoarders find it more difficult to make decisions about their own possessions than someone else’s.
“There is no doubt that the continuous getting stuff is the most important part of American culture.” said Sandra Stark, one member of the Hoarding Response Team. In San Francisco, nearly $6.5 million is spent by landlords and service agencies each year on hoarding-related issues, which include the removal of children or the elderly due to health and safety concerns. Hoarding has been identified as a direct contributor to up to six percent of all deaths by house fire.
32. What did the author feel when he found his great-grandmother’s collections
A. He was doubtful about her behavior.
B. He was depressed at her collections to some extent.
C. He was a little enthusiastic about her action.
D. He was disappointed at her behavior.
33. What do we know about hoarding in the study
A. It has been studied for a long time.
B. It is relevant to the thinking-related differences.
C. It makes hoarders easy to decide how to deal with their own stuff.
D. It makes hoarders have no interest in making choices about material objects.
34. What effect does hoarding have according to the last paragraph
A. It leads to many people’s deaths by house fire.
B. It causes many children and old people homeless.
C. It becomes the most important culture in America.
D. It helps the landlords and service agencies make a profit.
35. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To complain the hoarding.
B. To introduce a study result about hoarding.
C. To help people collect right things.
D. To explain the disadvantage of hoarding.

It’s likely that you don’t think you have invited a spy into your home when setting up a new TV. But new Samsung, LG and Vizio smart TVs can record and share everything that is viewed, whether it’s a broadcast or something streaming from the Internet. And some smart TVs can even track what DVD you’re watching.
Your viewing habits are valuable information for marketers who might want to use the information to introduce new shows or add extra content about some products to the shows you are already watching. The ads are primarily pop-ups like the ones you see on your computer.
You might not realize that you allowed that data collection when you agreed to the long privacy policy during setup; with Samsung, it is 47 screens of text. LG and Vizio also ask you to sign away your privacy in thousands of words in fine print.
When Consumer Reports sent an email to the manufacturers to ask how they are using the technology representatives for Samsung and Vizio didn’t make any comment. An LG representative said that the company isn’t using any data to send personalized ads and has no plans to do so. But Consumer Reports said that could change at any time.
You might think, “Well, why don’t I just turn those marketing features off ” It’s not always so easy. To stop manufacturers' tracking, you have to fight your way through menu settings. On an LG set, go to “settings”, then “options”, then “Live plus”, click “off”, and then close. With Vizio, it’s a voyage through three menus to turn off the box “Smart Interactivity”. With Samsung, it’s a similar trip to find the box “SyncPlus and Marketing” to disable it.
Consumer Reports said that disabling the marketing feature may cause you to lose offers of extra scenes which are related to the shows you’re watching. But maybe that's a small price to pay for knowing that what you’re watching remains private.
4. What might the marketers use your viewing habits to do
A. To improve the quality of smart TVs.
B. To collect some suggestions about shows.
C. To recommend shows or advertise products.
D. To build a strong relationship between produces and customers.
5. How does Consumer Reports find the comment made by an LG representative
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Reasonable. D. Approving.
6. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5
A. How we learn to use TVs’ settings. B. How we can become wise customers.
C. How we send personal information to others. D. How we stop our viewing from being tracked.
7. Which of the following does the author probably agree with
A. It’s worthwhile to turn marketing features off.
B. People should keep their watching habits a secret.
C. TVs’ marketing features should be further developed.
D. TV producers should apologize to customers for their misbehavior.

Fou Ts'ong, a Chinese-born pianist known for his sensitive interpretations of Chopin, Debussy and Mozart.died on Monday at a hospital in London, where he had lived for many years. He was 86.
A lover of classical music from a young age, Mr. Fou began taking piano lessons when he was 7. Mr. Fou made his first stage appearance in 1952. The concert caught the attention of officials in Beijing, who selected him to compete and tour in Eastern Europe. Mr. Fou soon moved to Poland, where he studied at the Warsaw Conservatory(音乐学校)on a scholarship. To prepare for the fifth Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 1955.he practiced so diligently that he hurt his fingers and was nearly cut from the first round of the competition.
Mr. Fou was one of the first Chinese pianists to achieve global prominence when he took the third place in the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1955. He also won a special prize for his performance of Chopin's mazurkas(马祖卜舞曲). Almost overnight, he became a national hero. To China, Mr. Fou's recognition in a well-known international competition was proof that the country could stand on its own artistically in the West. Chinese reporters flocked to interview Mr. Fou, while many others sought out his father, Fu Lei, for advice on child-rearing.
In 1981, a volume of letters written by his father, primarily to Mr. Fou, was published in China. Full of advice, encouragement, life teachings and strict paternal love, the book Fu Lei's Family, Letters became a best-seller in China. Besides influencing a generation of Chinese, Mr. Fu's words resonated(共鸣)long after his death with the person for whom they were intended.
"My father had a saying that 'First you must be a person, then an artist, and then a musician, and only then can you be a pianist.'" Mr. Fou once recalled in an interview. "Even now, I believe in this order-that it should be this way and that I am this way."

Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of the country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use liners (活衬里) from old coats to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and portable,” Oleita told the Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020 the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and it created 110 sleeping bags last December.
Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life — and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of saving bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty are often closely related. As Oleita told : “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The final goal of Chip Bag Project. B. The basic rules of Chip Bag Project.
C. The main work of Chip Bag Project. D. The significance of Chip Bag Project.
13. What do we know about the sleeping bag made by Chip Bag Project
A. Its size is adjustable. B. It is easy to carry around.
C. It has the function of heating. D. It is only made of old coats.
14. Which of the following statements does Oleita probably agree with
A. Making sleeping bags is easier than buying new ones.
B. Poverty and environmental problems go hand in hand.
C. Making sleeping bags is the best way to help the homeless.
D. Environmental problems have little impact on the homeless.
15. Which of the following best describes Oleita
A. Caring and creative. B. Brave and optimistic. C. Honest and determined. D. Talented and easy-going.
