The day I first came across a harp (竖琴) is a memory stored by all my senses. In contrast to the vivid color in which I recall this first encounter, I still remember my parents faces turning pale when I announced “I’m going to play the harp!” My parents’ faces reflected then financial fears. But they still rented me a little harp and hired a man to teach me.
I felt complete every time I played the harp. Then something happened: sheet music. Suddenly I had to learn this foreign language in order to continue to play What was once an effortless pleasure turned into a constant struggle My dyslexic (诵读困难的) bran ted on the beauty of the music but fought with the way it was taught I soon found myself stuck in a love-hate relationship.
For my 16th birthday, my parents used their savings to buy me a harp. in the hope that it might settle my relationship with it But in the weeks that followed the harp exploded.
The remains of the harp sat at the bottom of our stairs for several weeks. Eventually, my father and I built a fire to burn it. It felt strange to burn something that once represented so much, and we both sat there staring in silence. My father said “I know you find it hard to read music. But have you ever thought about just playing ” What he said changed everything for me, “Yeah, but I don’t have a harp anymore.”
Two weeks later, an old and small harp turned up I threw away all my music books and started playing by ear and from the heart All the passion came back. Music is so much more than dots (小圆点) on a page If you feel it and are excited by it, stick to it. Had I let traditional music teaching techniques put me off playing the harp, I would have lost a part of myself.

Spiders don’t have ears like we do, and many have poor eyesight. But they can sense vibrations (振动). Instead of eardrums that turn soundwave pressure into signals for our brains, spiders hear using tiny, sensitive hairs that move in response to sounds.
Previously, researchers had measured how a single thin piece of spider silk moved in response to sounds in the air They found that the web silk itself is really good at detecting sounds. In a new study, Ron Miles from Binghamton University and his co-authors provided the first evidence that spiders can pick up sounds in another way through their webs.
To study hearing in animals, researchers placed orb-weaving spiders, which are known to make large, wheel-shaped orb webs, in a specially designed quiet room. I hey tracked how the spiders reacted to different sounds played on a loudspeaker Depending on how loud the sound was, spiders stretched, turned or raised their forelegs Researchers noticed that the spiders turned their bodies toward the sound, suggesting they knew where the noise originated.
The ability to use a web like a giant extended ear could help spiders detect prey (猎物). If an insect is flying nearby, for instance, “that’s going to cause the web to vibrate because of the sound,” Miles said “That kind of gets the spider’s attention.”
Spiders might even use their webs to tune in to a variety of sounds “We suspect that the spider is actually able to sort of adjust the tension in the web in order to pick up certain frequencies,” Miles said.
Most microphones today work by sensing pressure and turning it into an electronic signal. But in the natural world, “spiders aren’t sensing pressure.” Miles said “Most animals don’t hear that way, they sense the motion of the air” Future microphones, like those used in hearing aids, could be designed with this in mind.
28. What did the new study find
A. Spiders do not have eardrums. B. Spiders indeed have poor eyesight
C. Spiders rely on sensitive hairs to hear D. Spiders can use their webs to detect sounds
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How the study affected spiders B. How the study was conducted
C. How loud the sound was in the study D. How spiders made the web in the study
30. How might the spider identify different sounds according to Miles
A. By shifting its position on the web B. By sensing different levels of pressure.
C. By changing the tension of its silk D. By making full use of different parts of its body
31. What is the significance of the discovery
A. It could help improve microphones B. It could bring attention to spider web-making
C. It could highlight the role of electronic technology D. It could heighten public awareness of insect protection
D
During the summer of 2021. Beverly Wax, an administrative assistant for a nonprofit, had an experience that filled her with awe Wax’s central air conditioning had broken down in the heat wave. She’d mentioned to her son that she was having trouble finding someone to come fix it quickly0 He showed up with a new unit as a surprise. As she watched him sweat and struggle while pulling the unit up the stairs and fixing it in her bedroom. Wax felt a wave of appreciation.
Awe is that feeling we get when something is so vast it stops us in out tracks. Often, it challenges or expands our thinking Research shows that awe experiences decrease stress and anxiety and increase overall satisfaction in life, according to Dacher Keltner, a professor of psychology. Most of us associate awe with something rare and beautiful nature, music or a spiritual experience. But people can trigger awe too, and not just public heroes. Research shows that we can be awed by out nearest and dearest. Psychologists call this interpersonal awe.
Often, this interpersonal awe is a response to life’s big, sweeping changes, such as witnessing a baby’s first steps. For Lynn Heady, a retired educator, it’s watching a friend fight cancer and still relish (享受) life But interpersonal awe happens in smaller moments, too. John Bargh, a psychologist, said he was truly awestruck by his then-5-year-old daughter while dining with her in a McDonald’s When she heard another child crying across the restaurant, she grabbed the toy from her Happy Meal, walked over to the boy and handed it to him.
Unfortunately, we can’t make someone else behave in a way that’s awesome. But we can prime ourselves to notice it when they do-and take steps to boost the emotion’s positive effects.
32. Why did Wax feel grateful to her son
A. He contacted a worker in time B. He volunteered for the nonprofit
C. He repaired her old air conditioner quickly D. He fixed a new all conditioner despite the heat
33. Which of the following can replace the underlined world “trigger” in paragraph 2
A. Express B. Produce C. Perceive D. Enhance.
34. How is the paragraph 3 mainly developed
A. By describing a process. B. By analyzing causes
C. By using illustrations D. D By presenting findings
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Behave in an awesome way B. Find awe in everyday life
C. Does awe expand our thinking D. Do awe experiences boost happiness
