I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I've put together some good tips for starting an art journey.

What's more, indoor plants are easy to look after and are not very expensive.
What are indoor plants
Indoor plants, also known as houseplants or pot plants, are plants that like to grow indoors. Many of these species (物种) are not ideally suited to growing outside in the UK, especially in the winter. ②_________
Why are indoor plants good for you
Will Spoelstra, who works at the Royal Botanic Gardens, says, "③_________. I find during the winter months, plants around the house can really lift your mood.” Several studies have backed this up and found that indoor plants can improve creativity, focus and memory. There is also research showing that pot plants can clean the air around them by removing harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide. They also remove some harmful chemicals from paints or cooking. ④_________
Which plants can you grow
Aloe vera, peace lilies and spider plants are some of the species that are easy to grow indoors. You can buy plants from supermarkets, garden centres or online. Younger plants are often cheaper than fully grown ones, and you get to care for them as they mature-which is part of the joy of owning plants. "⑤_________” Spoelstra says.

The transportation industry is one of the economy's oldest and most crucial parts. The biggest challenge for this business is being unique and attracting customers in an industry where everyone offers similar services. ①_________That is because it can make a memorable first impression on your customers.
When selecting a name, it's essential to consider how it aligns (使一致) with your value. If you're offering luxury transportation services, you should pick a name that expresses this sense. ②_______
Metaphors(暗喻),visual imagery,and emotions can be powerful tools when selecting a name for your transportation business. ③________For example, Greyhound is a symbol of speed and agility(敏捷).And this name perfectly expresses the idea of a speed-focused transportation company.
Brainstorming is vital when searching for the perfect name for your transportation business. So, start by listing words and phrases that describe your business. Think of words that express what your business really is. ④_________Make sure that you apply your creativity to this process and think outside the box. It also pays to consider crowdsourcing and other creative ways to generate potential names. Ask friends, family,and fellow workers for their ideas.
⑤________It's better to be carried out among people from different backgrounds. After all, the last thing you want is to pick a name that will annoy your audience.

Much of the work in today's world is accomplished(完成) in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. ①_________ Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent
②_________ They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team's performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn't evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the team's performance.
To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调) their actions. ③_________ In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team's performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, "There is no I in TEAM." ④_________
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛), whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.
⑤_________ An A-team may require a balance—not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.
A. It's not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.
B. Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.
C. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers' attention.
D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.
F. Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.
G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.

Being late is a tendency that some people cannot seem to shake. Many factors contribute to continual lateness, including time perception, time management and personality.
We all know someone who never seems to be on time, whether it's to a lunch date or a work meeting. ①_______
"It is likely that there's a mechanism in the brain that causes some people to be late for meetings because they underestimate the time it will take them to get there,” Hugo Spiers, a professor at University College London told Live Science. ②_______Research suggests that neurons in the hippocampus(海马体) acting as "time cells” contribute to our perception and memory of events, but why exactly some people continually underestimate time is unclear.
One factor may be how familiar we are with a space. For the 2017 study, Spiers asked 20 students who had newly moved to London to sketch a map of their college district and estimate travel times to different destinations. The students' space estimates expanded if they knew an area well. ③_______ "If you're very familiar with a space, you start to discount the trouble it will take,” Spiers said.
Another environmental factor may be crowdedness. In a 2022 study in the journal Virtual Reality, researchers asked participants to estimate the length of more or less crowded simulated (模拟的) subway trips. They found that crowded commutes felt like they took 10% longer than less busy rides. ④_______
⑤_______ Certain character features, such as reduced conscientiousness(责任心), can cause some people to forget tasks that they had planned ahead of time.
A. Personality also plays a role in running late.
B. That was linked to it being an unpleasant experience.
C. We make time estimates based on how urgent the tasks are.
D. However, their estimates of travel time contracted with familiarity.
E. But is there a good explanation for why some people are always late
F. A region of the brain, called hippocampus, processes some aspects of time.
G. That's because people who run late tell themselves and others they can be punctual.

Imagine an oxygen mask drops down right in front of you. What's happened Yes, a plane crash. But the chances of being killed are very slim. You're more likely to drown in a bubble bath, choke on your breakfast or die in a car accident on your way to the airport. ①_____ So, what do you do with this yellow mask if it suddenly drops from the ceiling Here are four things.
●②_____
Your flip-flops(人字拖) may be comfortable, but they're not going to perform well in case of an emergency. And neither will your high-heeled shoes. It's reported that 68% of passengers in plane accidents die from injuries in post-crash fires. So go for long pants and long-sleeved shirts—they'll protect you from flames and sharp objects.

It all really depends on the situation. Regardless of what section you're sitting in, know where the emergency exits are. ③_____

They found that crowded commutes felt like they took 10% longer than less busy rides.(在2022 年发表在《虚拟现实》杂志上的一项研究中,研究人员要求参与者估计或多或少拥挤的模拟地铁旅行的长度。他们发现,拥挤的通勤感觉比不那么繁忙的通勤时间长10%)”可知,如果通勤拥挤那么参与者对于时间的估计就会长些。选项B"That was linked to it being an unpleasant experience(这与不愉快的经历有关)”解释了为什么如果通勤拥挤,参与者对于时间的估计就会长些。故选B。
⑤根据空后内容"Certain character features, such as reduced conscientiousness(责任心), can cause some people to forget tasks that they had planned ahead of time.(某些性格特征,比如缺乏责任心,会导致一些人忘记他们提前计划好的任务)”可知,下文讲述的是性格也会导致人们迟到。选项A"Personality also plays a role in running late.(性格也对迟到有影响)”与下文保持一致。故选A。

答案:①-⑤FDAGC
解析:①细节理解题。前文You're more likely to drown in a bubble bath, choke on your breakfast or die in a car accident on your way to the airport.(你更有可能在泡泡浴中淹死,被早餐噎住,或者在去机场的路上死于车祸。)介绍日常生活中可能被杀死的可能性。后文So, what do you do with this yellow mask if it suddenly drops from the ceiling (那么,如果这个黄色的面具突然从天花板上掉下来,你该怎么办 )介绍飞机出事时,黄色的面罩掉下来的情况。结合选项,F项"然而,当我们踏上飞机时,我们都会感到紧张。”对前文进行转折,对后文启下,都是在介绍飞机上的情况。故选F。
②段落标题题。设空处为小标题。下段中首句Your flip-flops(人字拖) may be comfortable, but they're not going to perform well in case of an emergency.(你的人字拖可能穿着舒服,但在紧急情况下就不太好用了。)以及末句So go for long pants and long-sleeved shirts—they'll protect you from flames and sharp objects.(所以选择长裤和长袖衬衫—它们可以保护你免受火焰和尖锐物体的伤害。)介绍发生灾难时合适的穿着。结合选项,D项"穿得好像你要从火灾中逃跑一样。”为中心句,表示发生灾难时,不管是火灾还是飞机失事,穿着注意事项是一致的。故选D。
③细节理解题。前文Regardless of what section you're sitting in, know where the emergency exits are.(不管你坐在哪个区域,都要知道紧急出口在哪里。)建议要知道紧急出口的位置。后文So, you can find it even if the cabin is filled with smoke.(所以,即使机舱里充满了烟雾,你也能找到它。)介绍离紧急出口近的好处。结合选项,A项"数一下离最近的紧急出口的排数。”承接上文要了解紧急出口的位置,而且照应下文。选A。
④联系上文题。前文if you get to evacuate(撤离) from the plane, do it as quickly as possible. Don't try to get your carry-on to take with you.(如果你要从飞机上撤离,要尽可能快。不要试图把你的随身行李带走。)建议撤离时不要带行李。结合选项,G项"你可能最终会在你浪费的时间里陷入困境。”从反面介绍带行李撤离的危险。故选G。
⑤联系下文题。后文Not all planes are the same, though.(不过,并非所有的飞机都是一样的。)是对前文转折,而且是一句提醒。结合选项,C项"你以前坐过很多次飞机。”符合语境。故选C。
