Summer Camps for Kids
Drama Camps
Drama camps are a great choice for children wanting to be actors. Most drama camps have a weekly theme. So with that being said, be sure to pick the week that your child is most excited about. You will find many have Harry Potter, Princess, and even Dr. Suess themed weeks.
Drama camps are filled with fun acting lessons, singing lessons, and typically a production showcase at the end of each week for the campers to showcase their new skills and talents they have learned.
Camp Fire
This camp is available in 25 cities and has different program options. If you are looking into summer camps for teenagers then this is the camp for you.
While at Camp Fire the camp counselors help engage teens in outdoor activities and allow them to leave technology behind during the course of camp!
At the end of this camp you will be picking up your teenager who has made new friends, challenged themselves and has made lasting memories for themselves.
Summer Reading Camps
Summer reading camps are perfect for your kids who are wanting to sharpen their reading skills and increase their love of reading. Start by checking with a nearby college to see if they offer any reading camps during the summer. Many offer high quality literacy resources through the summer and help promote literacy throughout the county.
These are usually free or a very reasonable cost.
YMCA Summer Day Camps

A Virginia teen is doing his part to make sure frontline health care workers are getting the meals they need to help them take care of themselves and others.
Arul Nigam, 17, of Tyson's Corner, Va. , has had to make several adjustments since his school year ended abruptly in mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情）。“We didn't have any classes for like over a month and then after that there were a lot of technical difficulties. So I started to have a lot more free time,” he tells Yahoo Life. “It was really saddening, but it was also something that really surprised me, that our health care workers are facing something like that,” Nigam says. “So I wanted to see what I could do to help them because obviously, they're sacrificing so much and giving so much for all of us. ”
In late March, the teen started fundraising efforts with the help of friends and family to help these health care workers receive much-needed meals. He also began doing research about what hospitals had the most amount of coronavirus cases, so he could prioritize those places first. He was also arranging for the orders to be fulfilled at local family-owned restaurants impacted by shutdown orders. So far, Nigam has delivered over 1,000 meals to 22 hospitals in 13 states, including New York, Massachusetts and Maryland.
Nigam's efforts have not only helped health care workers, but restaurants as well. With quarantine restrictions taking a toll on the food industry, places like Best Coast Burrito in Oakland, Calif. , have lost business over the last few weeks. Best Coast's owner,Alvin Shen, tells Yahoo Life that being able to partner with Arul and others in efforts to feed those on the frontline has been a big help.

Plants don’t have ears or a central nervous system, but new research out of the University of Missouri has demonstrated that they might still have the ability to “hear”. More specifically, plants have been shown to exhibit an immune (免疫) response to the mere sound of a hungry insect.
For the study, researchers played the sound of a caterpillar chewing to a group of plants, which caused slight vibrations (振动) on the plants’ leaves. The plants were able to recognize these vibration patterns as danger, and responded by mounting the appropriate immune response. In other words, it appears that plants can “hear” themselves being chewed on.
Researchers assume that plants achieve this remarkable ability thanks to proteins that respond to pressure found within their cell membranes. Vibrations cause pressure changes within the cell, which can change the behavior of the proteins; however, additional study will be required to confirm or deny this theory.
Once researchers identify the exact mechanisms at play in this process, it could lead to advances in crop protection. Farmers could potentially learn to use sound to cause a plant’s natural chemical defenses against insect threats, rather than turning to poisonous chemicals.
“We can imagine applications of this where plants could be treated with sound or genetically engineered to respond to certain sounds that would be useful for agriculture,” said study author Heidi Appel.
The study adds to the growing list of ways that plants have been shown to sense their environments. They are not the boring organisms that many people assume they are. For instance, some plants are able to communicate with each other and signal upcoming danger to their neighbors by releasing chemicals into the air. Plants can respond to light (think about sunflowers) and temperature. Some can even respond to touch, such as the Venus flytrap (捕蝇草), which snaps shut when an insect stimulates its hairs.
8. Why did researchers carry out the study
A. To find out if plants can react to sounds.
B. To learn how plants recognize dangers.
C To discover if plants can shake their leaves.
D. To see how plants improve immune systems.
9. What’s the potential use of researchers’ discovery
A. To remove insects. B. To protect crops.
C. To treat plant diseases. D. To produce chemicals.
10. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A. There are more plants than we know.
B. Plants are more active than we think.
C. Plants fit in well with their environments.
D. Lots of secrets about plants remain unclear.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Can plants “talk” with each other
B. How do plants make use of sounds
C. Can plants “hear” themselves being eaten
D. How do plants defend themselves against attacks

A Space Age “disaster of the commons” is unfolding right under our nose — or, really, right over our head. For more than half a century, humans have been casting objects into low-Earth orbit in ever growing numbers. And with few meaningful limitations on further launches, the general attitude has been permissive: in orbit, it seems, there is always room for one more.
After so many decades of the build-up of high-speed chaos in the form of spent rocket stages, low-Earth orbit is finally on the edge of becoming too crowded for comfort. And the problem tends to get much worse because of the rise of satellite “mega constellations (大星座)” requiring thousands of aircraft, such as SpaceX’s Starlink. Starlink is but one of many similar projects. Another mega constellation from a company called OneWeb is already being stationed. And Amazon’s Project Kuiper is seeking to create a mega constellation of up to 3,200 satellites in the near future.
The International Space Station regularly adjusts its orbit to avoid potentially risky debris (碎片). Worse yet, there has been an increase in the threat of full-on collisions. Consider the February 2009 run-in between a dead Russian satellite and a commercial aircraft, which produced a great amount of debris.
Finding ways to remove at least some of all that space rubbish should be a top global priority, says Donald Kessler, a scientist for orbital debris research. In the late 1970s, he foretold the possibility of the Kessler conditions: as the mass of space trash increases, self-protecting runaway cycle of debris-generating collisions can arise, making low-Earth orbit too risky to support most space activities.
“There is now agreement within the community that the debris environment has reached a ‘tipping point’ where debris would continue to increase even if all launches were stopped,” Kessler says. “There are collisions taking place all the time — less noticeable and not in large numbers,” Kessler adds.
12. What can be concluded from paragraph 1
A. Humans are facing a space collision disaster.
B. General public are tolerant of the present situation in space.
C. Nothing has been done in space management.
D. Low-Earth orbit is in a high degree of order.
13. Why is mega constellation mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To explain the cause of the space jam.
B. To show the influence of the aircraft.
C. To stress the popularity of the space race.
D. To praise the efforts of famous companies.
14 What is Kessler’s attitude towards the debris environment
A. Ambiguous. B. Worried.
C. Doubtful. D. Tolerant.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Space Collisions Are Unavoidable
B. Space Development Needs to Stop
C. Space Activities Are Out of Control
D. Space Rubbish Arouses Concerns

Edward O. Wilson, known as “ant man”, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divorced when he was young, and he was moved frequently throughout his childhood. Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adventures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination with ants and their social structures.
Wilson earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Alabama. In 1955, he received his Ph.D. from Harvard and worked there until retirement.
Wilson’s early study of ants led to his first major discovery in 1959: how ants communicate through the release of chemical signals.
Later, in 1990, Wilson and German biologist Bert H lldobler published their Pulitzer- winning The Ants. It detailed the insects’ social structure that was both valued by scholars and accessible to general readers.
Another of Wilson's major works started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Robert MacArthur. The pair published The Theory of Island Biogeography, where they sought to explain why different places have different numbers of species.
What many consider to be Wilson's most important contributions to evolutionary biology came in 1975 when he published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. The work explored the genetic roots of animal behavior and argued that genes shaped human behavior.
Wilson faced accusations for these ideas but his work finally largely proved true. In 1978, his ideas on the role biology plays in human culture peaked in On Human Nature, which won him a Pulitzer in 1979.
Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 20 books. These accomplishments offered him a type of superstar status, but friends and colleagues say the polite Southerner remained down to earth. “Professor Wilson really listened and engaged with whomever he was interacting with,” said Corrie S. Moreau, who was one of Wilson's final advisees.
4. What contributed to Wilson’s passion for ants
A. His accidental disability. B. The discovery he made about ants.
C. The school education he received. D. His boyhood time spent in nature.
5. What is Wilson’s first Pulitzer-winning book about
A. The social structure of ants. B. The distribution of different species.
C. The links between biology and human culture. D. The role of chemical signals in communication.
6. According to the last paragraph, which word best describes Wilson
A. Productive. B. Humble. C. Open-minded. D. Independent.
7. What is the best title of this text
A. The Pioneering “Ant Man” B. Discoveries in Evolutionary Biology
C. A Leading Figure in Popular Science D. The Adventure of a Pulitzer Prize Winner

Forget smart phones and smart glasses. One day, we might have smart tattoos (纹身）. The company NewDealDesign came up with an idea for a product called UnderSkin. The device would look like a pair of tattoos on your palm and the side of your thumb, but it would actually be a very thin computer implanted just below your skin. It would draw power from your body's energy, and you could use it to unlock doors, monitor your health, exchange and store information, or even express your personality. UnderSkin is just an idea -you can't go out and get one -but the technology exists to make it work. “We assume it is about five years from being real,” says designer Gadi Amit.
Writer and technology entrepreneurs Amal Graffstra already has a chip called a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag (标签） implanted in his hand. “I use it to log into my computer. I also use it to share contact details with people,” he says. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice and responds to radio signals with a unique identification number.
If a computerized tattoo or embedded tag isn't crazy enough for you, what about a brain chip The company Intel is working on technology that would let you control your devices with your mind. Dean Pomerleau, one of the researchers, explains, “We're trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves. . . Imagine beingx k w able to surf the Web with the power of your thoughts. ”
Do you think embedded chips sound cool or creepy Some doctors are concerned about people hurting themselves while getting devices implanted. They argue that medical procedures are meant to heal sick People and not to give healthy people special powers. Others worry about hacking and privacy -could someone hack in and steal your identity, or even control your mind On a more philosophical level if you e a computer inside your body, are your still human Or are you a cyborg (半机械人）
What do you think-would you want a computer under your skin

Who do you count as your friends From our BFF to a workmate, it’s good to have someone to draw the fat with or offer comfort and support. But the recent lockdown we have endured has made of us question our friendships. We’ve fallen out of touch with friends and acquaintances. But do we actually have to restart every relationship we once had It might be time to take stock and think about who you kept in touch with, who you missed talking to, and who you didn’t. In short, maybe it’s time to reset your list of real mates.
There’s no obligation to stay friends. Bryan Lufkin says, “While people have known for years that friendships are unquestionably good for your health, experts say it’s only natural for acquaintances and even friends to fall by the wayside as time goes on.”
Of course, it can be hard to choose who’s in your friendship circle. This is what Suzanne Degges-White, professor of counselling at Northern Illinois University, calls our “friendscape”. She says. “In life, as we go through certain stages and ages, our attention shifts, and we want to be around people who are like us.”
So, changing friends is normal, but we still need those special pals who have known us long term. These are friendships we invest time in. These are your inner circle of friends—your “shoulders to cry on”—and you have to see them at least once a week to keep them in that circle. The friends that do drift are mostly “friendships of convenience”. But the advice for maintaining a good friendship is to share how you feel with someone you trust—this can help strengthen your friendship as well as giving you both a chance to support each other.
12. What could we do about friendships in the recent lockdown
A. Recover our friendships. B. Reflect on our friendships.
C. Develop new friendships. D. Put an end to our friendships.
13. What do Bryan Lufkin’s words mean
A. Some friendships will not necessarily stay for life.
B. Some friendships might not be good for our health.
C. True friendships will surely survive the long years.
D. True friendships develop naturally as time goes by.
14. Who would most probably stay in our friendship circle
A. Friends at the same life stages. B. Friends with the same interests.
C Friends always staying around. D. Friends living in neighboring areas.
15. What does the author suggest we do in the last paragraph
A. Cry on our friends’ shoulders. B. Change inner circle friends.
C. Devote time to true friendships. D. Suit our friends’ conveniences.
辽宁省六校协作体2021-2022学年高三4月模拟考试英语试题（解析版）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
If you’re traveling to South America in summer, you should have Patagonia (at the southern end of South America) high up on your list of things to do. With this list, I show you the best places to visit in Patagonia. The climate down there is pretty rough, especially in the very south - if you plan to do hiking or camping, the best time for a trip is between the end of November and the beginning of March.
1. Bariloche, Argentina
The fact that Bariloche is well connected (airport, direct bus to and from Buenos Aires) makes it the perfect starting point of a round trip through Patagonia. But more than that: the combination of mountains, lakes and green forests results in its beautiful scenery.
2. Futaleufú, Chile
Further down south and a bit harder to access is the small Chilean village Futaleufú which is located at the border to Argentina. The reason which makes it worth it: the Futaleufú River is often referred to as one of the best white water spots for rafting in the world. The landscape along the river is unique and, due to its location, still pretty much untouched.
3. Puerto Rio Tranquilo, Chile
If you want to get there quickly, you should travel through Argentina and cross over to Chile Chico as this place is also very remote. The reason to do so: the marble caves in the General Carrera lake.
4. Torres del Paine, Chile
Personally the national park Torres del Paine is my number 1 attraction in Patagonia - you should take some time and do a multi-day trek to experience as much of it as possible: glaciers, forests, impressive mountain ranges, lagoons and rivers.
1. What is the best time for hiking in Patagonia
A. October 1—November 1 B. December 25—January 15
C. March 5—April 1 D. November 5—June 7
2. Which of the following about the Futaleufú River is true
A. It lies in an easily accessible village. B. It is ignored due to rafting sports.
C. It is the best rafting river in the world. D. It still has untouched landscapes.
3. Which place attracts the author most in Patagonia
A. Bariloche. B. Futaleufú.
C. Puerto Rio Tranquilo. D. Torres del Paine.
B
Last month, my husband and I completed what some of our friends considered a foolish task: a 32-day, 5, 232-mile camping trip with children in our Volkswagen van, without ''high-tech'' to occupy the children.
It was the screen less journey that showered me with doubts. But is ''boredom'' senseless My friend Renee, who has driven cross-country with her three kids eight times, calls boredom the mother of creativity. She's not the only one who sees virtue in blank time. In a recently published paper, researchers at East Anglia University in England concluded that the trance like (发呆的) state helps recharge the mind and is ''central to learning and creativity''. I wasn't trying to make my kids smarter. Neither do I dislike high-tech. But I understand too well the power of mini screens to transform our kids into zombies (木讷的人) .
On Day 1, our 7-year-old son announced ''Texas is so boring!''. The next day, struggling against his seat belt, he yelled he couldn't take much more of this. His 5-year-old sister was better at the long hours playing make-believe with the stuffed animals. On Day 3, he began count mountains and see pandas and dolphins in distant clouds in the Texas sky. I often joined the kids in the back, where we did thumb-and-toe wrestle. With well-known mountains ahead, my husband told the children the past legends of them. ''Arizona is not as boring as Texas,'' our son declared.
I hope the trip gave kids some lazy, unstructured time to learn something about valuing the trip instead of looking for the fastest way to burn it up. I don't always make the right call as a parent but I know that in banning the small screen we made the right choice this time.
4. Why did the author choose a high-tech free journey
A. Her friends are highly against it.
B. She disliked advanced technology.
C. She feared the passive influence of mini-screens.
D. The researchers proved the harm of modern technology.
5. What happened during the cross-country drive
A. Their son got worse at boredom.
B. Her kids had a tough time riding in the vehicle.
C. Their son relieved himself by watching animals outside.
D. The time spent without screens strengthened the family bond.
6. The underlined part ''the fastest way'' in the last paragraph refers to .
A. the speediest route to finish the journey
B. the ability to observe the surroundings
C. the interest of playing games with others
D. the choice of killing time by playing digital devices
7. Which is the best title for the text
A. Is Driving Long Distances Good for Children
B. A Touching Cross-country Trip of My Family
C. What's Wrong with Boredom without High-tech
D. Creative Kids out of Parents' Reasonable Choice
C
A water-proof drone (无人机) is being used by Australian scientists to collect the highly-treasured snot (鼻涕) of migrating whales. The snot is rich with fresh DNA, viruses and bacteria, and is collected by a drone that hovers over the blowholes of humpback whales as they set off their annual journey along Australia’s east coast.
Vanessa Pirotta, a marine biologist at Macquarie University, says that snot indicates the health of the whale. She states, “It is the juicy biological mixture that you see as a humpback whale takes a breath when they surface from the water. It sounds like sounds of sharp breaths as a whale breathes, because, unlike sharks or other fish, they are mammals like humans and they have two openings for breathing on their back as well. So, as they take a breath, there are a lot of lung bacteria coming out from their lungs, which we can collect to provide a brief introduction of whale health.”
Australian researchers have attached a petri dish that is used in scientific tests to a drone which flies through the whale’s nasal mist (鼻腔喷出雾). Vanessa Pirotta added, “As a whale comes to take a breath, you can actually see it coming to the surface on really good weather days. That is the time—the drone lowers, and the petri dish is then opened and the drone is flown through the densest part of the whale snot, collecting the sample in the petri dish. Now once this happens the lid is shut and the drone is flown back to the research vessel and we collect the sample to later process it in the laboratory.”
The research could help to solve one of the mysteries of another magnificent creature of the deep sea—the southern right whale. Its numbers have recovered on Australia’s west coast since hunting was outlawed but its population on the eastern seaboard remains stubbornly low.
8. Which of the following statements about snot is true
A. It helps to know about the health of the whale.
B. It always carries many deadly lung bacteria.
C. It can only be collected during annual migrations.
D. It is a biological mixture without DNA.
9. What’s the function of the petri dish
A. To lower the water-proof drone.
B To identify the densest part of the snot.
C. To gather samples of the snot.
D. To process snot samples in the lab.
10. The purpose of writing the last paragraph is ______.
A. to sum up the entire passage
B. to introduce the endangered species
C. to show the application of research.
D. to show the population changes of whales
11. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Snot Indicates the Health of Whales.
B. Snot Contains Many Lung Bacteria.
C. Drones Fly Through Snot of Whales
D. Drones Monitor Whale Health in Australia.
D
Driving while talking on the phone increases the likelihood of an accident and is actually more dangerous than driving drunk, U.S. researchers report. This holds true whether the driver is holding a cell phone or using a hands free device.
“As a society, we have agreed on not tolerating the risk associated with drunk driving,”said researcher Frank Drews, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Utah.“This study shows us that somebody who is conversing on a cell phone is exposing him or herself and others to a similar risk — cell phones actually are a higher risk,”he said.
In the study, 40 people followed a pace car along a prescribed course, using a driving simulator （模拟仪）. Some people drove while talking on a cell phone, others drove while drunk（meaning their blood-alcohol limit matched the legal limit of 0.08 percent）, and others drove with no such distractions. The researchers found an increased accident rate when people were conversing on the cell phone. Drivers on cell phones were 5.36 times more likely to get in an accident.
The bottom line: Cell phone use was linked to“a significant increase in the accident rate,” Drews said.
The phone users did even worse than the inebriated, the Utah team found. There were three accidents among those talking on cell phones — all of them involving a rear ending（追尾） of the pace car. In contrast, there were no accidents recorded among participants who were drunk.
In response to safety concerns, some states have declared it illegal to use hand held cell phones while driving. But that type of law may not be effective, because the Utah researchers found no difference in driver performance whether the driver was holding the phone or talking on a hands free model.
“We have seen again and again that there is no difference between hands free and hand held devices,”Drews said.“The problem is the conversation. The best solution to the problem is obvious: Don’t talk on the phone while you are driving. ”
12. Which group of drivers performed worst in the study
A. Those phone users.
B. Those who are drunk.
C. Those following a pace car.
D. Those with hearing problems.
13. What does the underlined phrase“the inebriated”in paragraph 5 refer to
A. The drunk drivers.
B. The researchers.
C. The cell phone free drivers.
D. The Utah team.
14. What can be concluded from the last two paragraphs
A. Driver performance has nothing to do with the use of mobile phones.
B. It is timely to ban the use of hand held phones while driving.
C. The Utah researchers find the traffic safety law works as well as before.
D. Talking on the phone while driving should be avoided.
15. In which section of a newspaper is this text from
A. Sports.
B. Economy.
C. Society.
D. Entertainment.

A British family was on holiday in a rented motor home in the USA. Traveling through California, they visited the Magic Mountain-Amusement Park. In the mid-afternoon, halfway through what was turning out to be a most enjoyable day at the park, the family came upon a particularly steep ride. In the line, the ride attendants(服务员) strongly warned everyone about the risks of losing hats, glasses, coins and keys, etc., and these warnings were repeated by large signs around the ride. During the ride, their keys’ fate was just as the warnings repeated.
However, the fact was that there were no spare keys. One park attendant drove the family back to the motor home, suggesting the least damaging ways to break into it. Fortunately, a window had been left slightly open, enabling the middle son to be put in and to open the doors from the inside. What was even more fortunate was that the attendant made the engine fire without the key.
The next day the father called a local locksmith(锁匠) to see what could be done. “I might be able to make new keys from the locks if you bring the vehicle to me.” said the locksmith. So the family drove to the locksmith, whose business was in a small shopping centre in the countryside. The locksmith looked at the motor home, and said he would try. In fact, the job took the locksmith most of the day and he put away all his present work. The family hung around the locksmith’s, visited the shops again, and generally spent a day at the little shopping centre.
In the late afternoon the locksmith said that he had nearly done. When the father entered the locksmith’s shop, the locksmith was smiling. He put two new shining keys on the counter. Although the day was not included in their plan, the family really appreciated all the help and kindness they received from the people.

A Duke University-led study finds that bottlenose dolphins burn calories at a lower rate as they get older, just like humans do. It’s the first time that scientists have measured an age-related metabolic(新陈代谢的) slowdown in another large-bodied species besides humans, said the first author Rebecca Rimbach.
Rimbach has studied energy consumption in animals ranging from mice to monkeys. But data on the inner workings of sea animals such as dolphins and whales have been scant, she says. “That’s because these ocean animals are difficult to catch for repeated measurement. It can be very tricky to get the animal back when you need it,” Rimbach said.
The researchers studied 10 bottlenose dolphins aged 10 to 45 living at two sea animal centers. To measure their average daily metabolic rates, the researchers used the “doubly labeled water method”. It involved getting the dolphins to drink a few pounds of water with “heavy” forms of hydrogen and oxygen put in, and then following how long they took to force them out. Carers collected the dolphins blood and analyzed the levels of heavy hydrogen and oxygen atoms(原子) in it. Thus, the team was able to count how much carbon dioxide (CO2) the dolphins produced each day, and then how many calories they were burning as they went about their lives.
The scientists found the oldest dolphins in the study, both in their 40s, used 22% to 49% fewer calories each day than expected for their body weight. And similar to humans, more of those calories ended up as fat rather than muscle. Dolphins in their 40s had body fat percentages that were 2.5 times higher than the under-20 dolphins’. It wasn’t for lack of exercise and it wasn’t because they’re eating too much, Rimbach said. It was related to metabolic aging.
The researchers said such work could uncover factors besides diet and lifestyle that caused age-related weight gain in people. “Further studies into this commonality we share with dolphins may help us understand why our metabolism slows as we age,” said co-author Hannah Salomons.
28. What does the underlined word “scant” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Detailed. B. Strange. C. Rare. D. Different.
29. Why did the carers collect dolphins’ blood during the research
A. To better know about their oxygen demand. B. To figure out the amount of burnt calories.
C. To analyze the main content of the blood. D. To check the health condition of dolphins.
30. What is the reason for the elderly dolphins’ higher percentages of body fat
A. Their unhealthy lifestyles. B.Their shortage of exercise.
C. Their weakened metabolism. D. Their preference for fat food.
31. What can we conclude according to the text
A. Burning calories needs more fat as dolphins age.
B. Exercise can speed up some animals’ metabolism.
C. Dolphins’ meal timing may influence weight loss.
D. Dolphins metabolism tends to slow down with age.
D
People have probably observed that their stress levels can rise due to a lack of typical psychological(精神的) breaks they get in workplaces. Walking to the tea room to make a cup of coffee, stopping for a chat with one of your colleagues or discussing your plan with your leaders will help you. All of those actions are actually giving our brains an opportunity to recharge.
The workplace banter(打趣) could be worn out when you’re employed from home. The psychological breaks, however, are vital to maintain your stress at the lowest level, so attempt to copy these mini-breaks at home. Besides, you need a proper schedule for yourself. Otherwise, things go against your wishes. For example, one of my friends devoted herself to her business, ignoring her family and her own health. Though she has achieved a lot in her business, now she is in poor health and has a broken home and good-for-nothing children.
One of the toughest issues about working from home is setting boundaries. People tend to overwork at home because they often confuse work and home life. You can reasonably end working at a fixed time and have time to get along with your family members. If you begin the day by bearing this in your thoughts, it’s completely possible for you to stick to it.
At home, you can do a spot of gardening or take a slow relaxing walk within your yard to help increase your memory and overcome depression. Even doing some arts and crafts, reading an ebook or baking a cake may also help. Anyway, you need to take yourself away from the computer screen for a superb couple of hours every day.
As the saying puts it, “Sharpening your knife won’t waste your time for cutting your firewood.” you have good psychological breaks while working from home, your working efficiency will be improved. Besides, you’ll manage and lessen your stress and create a good family relationship.
32. How can people reduce their stress levels in workplaces according to the author
A. By having a relaxing talk with their workmates.
B. By sharing their suffering with their leaders.
C. By giving their current work to other workmates.
D. By going to a psychologist on a regular basis.
33. Why do people tend to work overtime at home
A. They like to show their devotion before the family.
B. There is no clear line between work and home life.
C. No one bothers them when working from home.
D. They are inefficient as a result of many distractions.
34. What might be the author’s suggestion at the end of the text
A. Enrich our life with a variety of activities.
B. Improve your efficiency to please your leader.
C. Take a rest from work to balance work and family.
D. Ask someone to help with your work when tired.
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Methods of living an active and meaningful life.
B. Approaches to lessening stress levels in workplaces.
C. Ways to manage stress when working from home.

When I was nine years old, I never dreamed that the small, quarter vending（自动售货）machine I owned would turn me into a small business owner and a college graduate.
Wanting to inspire a sense of entrepreneurship（企业家身份）and business in his daughter, my dad brought home a vending machine he had purchased from a friend. Setting it down in front of me in our living room, he asked—in all seriousness— “Do you want to start a business ”
I owned 15 vending machines by the time I left high school, with all of the profits going toward my college fund. In addition to being a great bonding experience for my family, I cannot tell you how many skills I learned from starting and growing my very own business that helped me gain responsibility.
Understanding both personal and professional finances is one of the most important life lessons to learn—the earlier, the better. I had to be fearless and confident-learning these skills at a young age saved me from speaking with difficulty through presentations later in prehending the ins and outs of your product and business shines through when speaking with customers and clients. Learning that not every experience in life leads to a “Well, You Tried” trophy（安慰奖励）taught me that rejection is hard, and it’s going to happen.
Throughout the unbelievable experience of running my own business at a young age（more stories to come）, I learned valuable skills that have helped me in my job, school, and personal life. I believe in the value of customer service. I go after clients and opportunities and understand that sometimes thing don’t go my way.
With the help of my parents and customers who supported me, I grew up an entrepreneur with skills to keep for the rest of my life.

In some ways, learning to programme a computer is similar to learning a new language. It requires learning new symbols and terms, which must be organized correctly to instruct the computer what to do. The computer code must also be clear enough that other programmers can read and understand it.
In spite of those similarities, MIT neuroscientists（神经科学家）have found that reading computer code doesn’t activate the regions of the brain that are involved in language processing. Instead, it activates a distributed network called the multiple demand network, which is also related to complex tasks such as solving maths problems or crossword puzzles.
Although reading computer code activates the multiple demand network, it appears to rely more on different parts of the network than maths or logic problems do. “Understanding computer code seems to be its own thing. It isn’t the same as language, and it isn’t the same as maths and logic,” says Anna Ivanova, an MIT graduate student and the lead author of the study.
Evelina Fedorenko is the senior author of the paper, which appears today in eLife. A major focus of her research is the relationship between language and other cognitive（认知）functions. In particular，she has been studying the question of whether other functions rely on the brain’s language network, which includes Broca’s area and other regions in the left hemisphere（半球）of the brain. In previous work, her lab has shown that music and maths don’t appear to activate this language network.
There are two schools of thought regarding how the brain learns to code, she says. One holds that in order to be good at programming，you must be good at maths. The other suggests that because of the parallels between coding and language, language skills might be more relevant. To clarify this issue, the researchers set out to study whether brain activity patterns while reading computer code would overlap（重叠）with language-related brain activity.
28. What’s paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The computer must be instructed what to do.
B. Programming requires new symbols and terms.
C. The computer code must be clear and understandable.
D. There are similarities between programming and language learning.
29. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean
A. Reading computer code is different from other cognitive tasks.
B. Learning languages is different from learning maths or logic.
C. Language, maths and logic are relatively easier to learn.
D. Reading computer code is more challenging.
30. What might the researchers do next
A. Set up two schools to study how the brain learns to code.
B. Research deeper into the parallels between coding and language.
C. Figure out the relationship between programming and learning maths.
D. Compare activity patterns of reading code with those of learning language.
31. What field can the research findings be applied to
A. Health. B. Commerce. C. Education. D. Medicine
D
During the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide, misinformation has fueled the spread of fear. Some people might fail to tell facts from rumors（谣言），so improving the public’s health knowledge is a vital step to help people take the right protective measures and avoid unnecessary panic.
As the battle against the epidemic continues, some people may feel panic to some extent because they are not aware that there are effective prevention and protection measures they can take. So it is urgent that people’s public health awareness should be raised. The education authorities should strengthen science popularization, especially among teenagers. For example.primary and middle schools should emphasize scientific education, and they could invite medical professionals to teach students about the scientific protection measures they should adopt.
Governmental departments can carry out projects to popularize health knowledge and encourage people to participate in the improvement of the public scientific literacy, including in different townships, districts and communities.
Relevant science and technology institutions also have the responsibility to innovate measures and set up systems to carry out a health-awareness campaign to make more people aware of the benefits of scientific prevention and protection measures.
Since the improvement of public scientific literacy is of great significance and concern, medic and healthcare departments should learn the lessons of this epidemic and continue to build well-established and professional teams, particularly grassroots units that are devoted to promoting the public health literacy should be formed.
Science and healthcare institutions should pool their resources to meet the public’s knowledge needs. They should establish ways to spread the public’s health knowledge, diversify the channels for spreading scientific public health knowledge, and hatch effective policies to upgrade facilities to deal with emergencies, so as to ensure that it can swiftly respond to a public health emergency and provide authoritative information on the situation and the appropriate response.
Keeping the public informed of scientific public health knowledge in a timely manner will help prevent public panic and contribute to the prevention of public health crises.
32. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that ______.
A. the battle against the COVID-19 continues
B. different persons have different awareness of protection.
C. people’s public protection awareness remains to be raised
D. the COVID-19 spreads faster in schools than in any other places
33. What can be inferred from the text
A. Grassroots units have sprung up.
B. Adequate health knowledge can ease panic.
C. Improving scientific literacy is an easy task.
D. Effective policies alone may prevent the disease.
34. Which measure is NOT mentioned in popularizing health knowledge
A. Innovating measures and setting up systems.
B. Building well-established, professional teams.
C. Diversifying the ways to spread health knowledge.
D. Stopping schooling for two or three months.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. People’s Health Knowledge Requires an Increase
B. Schools Should Emphasize Scientific Education
C. Don’t Panic When the COVID-19 Breaks Out
