I’ve been into volunteer work since childhood. As a girl, I volunteered at animal shelters, played music at nursing homes, and helped with community cleanup. In college, I volunteered heavily at a large yearly conference (会议), where I first met and fell in love with my husband Tom, who was on my team of co-volunteers.
Volunteering has been a way of life for me and I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it. Most of the time, you do feel that you’re making a difference. Once I led a project that provided food to Syrian families. When it was nearing Ramadan, the biggest holiday season in Islam, I filled the food package with nuts, olive oil, sweets… We look the package and arrived just as a Syrian family was sitting on their floor for breakfast. They had nothing but some bread and a pot of tea. The mother cried when seeing us, saying she would never forget our kindness gratefully.
Another time, some friends and I volunteered to a church with only a few elderly residents. The churchyard needed attention. We spent the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and repair the churchyard. I’ll never forget the new life in her eyes as she stayed with us. It broke my heart to remember this old lady with pleasure for such small efforts we made.
Volunteer work is satisfying not because you have done some work, but because your presence has an effect on people around. It makes me grateful for what I have and gives me a chance to serve people.
24. Where did the author meet her husband for the first time
A. In her college. B. At a conference.
C. At a nursing home. D. At an animal shelter.
25. Why did the Syrian mother cry when the author arrived
A. She was grateful to the kindness. B. Her children were badly ill.
C. She didn’t have any food at all. D. Her house was broken.
26. What was the old lady’s attitude from Paragraph 3
A. Surprised. B. Disappointed. C. Pleased. D. Confused.
27. Why does the author think volunteering is satisfying
A. She can make lots of friends. B. She can learn much knowledge.
C. She can kill much of her free time. D. She can have an effect on people around.

Robots are often cast in popular science fiction as the bad characters that take over the world and enslave mankind (奴役人类). But with the beginning of some serious diseases, robots are increasingly being employed as helpers, taking on often dull, difficult and dangerous tasks and thus reducing humans’ exposure to some terrifying virus.
In the United States, two of the main ways in which robotic technology is being used in the hospitals are to disinfect (消毒) hospital rooms and act as a telemedicine(远程医疗) portal, allowing doctors and health care workers to communicate via video conference directly with patients without unnecessarily exposing themselves to those highly infectious virus.
In Boston, doctors, researchers and robotics engineers have teamed up to bring a friendly, dog-like, four-legged robot named Spot into Brigham and Women’s Hospital, allowing doctors to communicate with patients via telemedicine.
In March, at the start of the pandemic, a league from hospital, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Spot’s manufacturer—Boston Dynamics, began testing the robot’s design to enable Spot to communicate with patients, thus reducing the exposure of front line health care workers to the virus. In the place of a head, Spot has an iPad affixed to a stand, allowing doctors to conduct telemedicine services with their patients.
“Most people actually really like it,” says Dr. Peter Chai, an emergency medicine physician who serves as the hospital’s chief researcher on the robot project.
Researchers are working to increase the robot’s diagnostic abilities, enabling it to measure the patients temperature and his or her respiratory rate (呼吸率).
Chai predicts that hospitals will continue to find more ways to use robots, and tie wonders whether robots can deliver supplies to rooms or see patients with other infectious diseases (传染病).
28. What words can best describe the jobs robots are employed to do
A. Normal and easy. B. Frightening and difficult.
C. Dirty and complex. D. Exciting and dangerous.
29. Why are robots being used in American hospitals
A. To save money.
B. To replace doctors.
C. To protect doctors from infecting virus.
D. To deliver supplies to patients and doctors.
30. What do we know about Spot
A. It allows doctors to conduct telemedicine services.
B. It can help adjust the patient’s temperature.
C. It can deliver supplies to hospital rooms.
D. It is a friendly dog.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Spot the Robot Dog B. Train Robot Doctors
C. Robots Being Used in Hospital D. Robots in Popular Science Fiction
D
Our brains have an “auto-correct” feature that we use when re-interpreting (重新解释) ambiguous (模糊的) sounds, according to new research. The study sheds light on how the brain uses information gathered after the discovering of an initial sound to aid speech comprehension. The findings point to new ways we use information and context to aid in speech comprehension.
“What a person thinks they hear does not always match the actual signals that reach the ear,” explains lead author Laura Gwilliams. “This is because the brain re-evaluates the interpretation of a speech sound at the moment each following speech sound is heard in order to update interpretations as necessary,” Gwilliams says.
It’s well known that the perception of a speech sound is determined by its surrounding context—in the form of words, sentences and other speech sounds. This plays out in everyday life—when we talk, the actual speech we produce is often ambiguous. For example, when a friend says she has a “dent (凹痕)” in her car, you may hear “tent”. Although this kind of ambiguity happens regularly, we, as listeners, are hardly aware of it. “This is because the brain automatically resolves the ambiguity for us—it picks an interpretation and that’s what we perceive to hear,” explains Gwilliams. “The way the brain does this is by using the surrounding context to narrow down the possibilities of what the speaker may mean.”
In the study, the researchers sought to understand how the brain uses this following information to adjust our perception of what we initially heard. To do this, they conducted a series of experiments in which the subjects listened to isolated syllables and similarly sounding words. Their results produced three primary findings: The brain’s primary auditory cortex (听觉皮层) is sensitive to how ambiguous a speech sound is at just 50 milliseconds after the sound’s appearance. The brain “replays” previous speech sounds while interpreting the following ones, suggesting re-evaluation as the rest of the word unfolds. The brain makes commitments to its “best guess” of how to interpret the signal after about half a second.
32. What is the study mainly about
A. Why people make unclear sounds.
B. How brains understand unclear words.
C. How brains tell apart useful information.
D. Why some people process information faster.
33. What does the author want to show by giving the example in Paragraph 3
A. It is normal for people to make unclear sounds.
B. People are more likely to mishear their friends.
C. People can understand others even if they mishear a word.
D. People are likely to mistake a word for something familiar.
34. What do we know about the unclear words in the experiments
A. They seemed to be useless. B. They were noticed instantly.
C. They led to misunderstanding. D. They stopped us thinking further.
35. What does the underlined part “the signal” in the last paragraph refer to
A. The previous speech sound. B. The similarly sounding word.
C. The unclearly sounding word. D. The following speech sound.

Four habits of happy people
While the recent research has shown that about 60 percent of our baseline level of happiness is probably genetically determined, it means 40 percent is under our control. You can’t go back and get new genes. 36 Here are the good habits of happy people.
●Spend time outside. If you can clock 20 minutes a day outside, studies show you’ll not only maintain a better mood, but your mind will be more open and you’ll improve your working memory. 37
●Exercise regularly. All exercise releases endorphins (内啡肽) in your brain, and if you work out regularly, this mood can even carry over to non-workout days. 38 Mood stays about the same on days they don’t.
● 39 A study has confirmed that when people actively try to be happy, they raise their baseline moods, making them feel happier than those who do not try. In the study, two sets of participants listened to “happy” music. Those who actively tried to feel happier reported the highest level of positive mood afterwards.
Care for others. 40 Volunteer work is good for both mental and physical health. People of all ages who volunteer are happier and experience better physical health and less depression.
A. Exercise is easy to do.
B. Put effort into being happy.
C. People around you impact your mood.
D. Sunshine and fresh air make you feel good too.
E. But you can start a good morning over with a new attitude.
F. People who spend time every month helping others are happier.
G. On exercise days, people’s mood is significantly improved after exercising.

When Jayce Crowder was in kindergarten, he began noticing that he looked different from his classmates. They had two hands. But he had only one.
It started when one boy teased (取笑) him. Jayce was in a bad mood (心情). He’d return home in Des Moines, Iowa, with questions: Why am I different Why me Why “He actually told us that he was mad at looking so different from others,” said his mother, Cortney Lewis. “That really hurt him.” Lewis admitted she didn’t know what to do at that point. How could she provide answers to her son’s questions when she had never found those answers herself
A few weeks later, Lewis came home from her job and turned on the TV to a news story about Trashaun Willis, an eighth-grader from Washington middle school, Iowa. The boy, then 14, had become an Internet star after posting videos of his slam dunk (扣篮), and, like Jayce, he was missing most of his left arm. Lewis called Jayce in to see Trashaun on TV, too.
He was shocked, staring at one dunk after another. He was shocked, staring at one dunk after another.
“Cool,” Jayce remembered thinking with excitement. “I saw him dunking on TV.”
Willis’ story blew up last winter. The Des Moines Register wrote about him. NBC Nightly News flew to Iowa to interview him. Just recently, Sports Illustrated named him one of its Sports Kid of the Year finalists.
At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce—he’d see a shining role model with a seemingly similar born disability. And had it stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to the Des Moines Register, asking the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to encourage
Jayce and build his confidence. A few days later, the good news that Trashaun accepted the invitation to meet Jayce came.

Today we are visiting Woodhill Shelter, an unusual animal shelter in Britain. It’s not a place for wild animals rescued from zoos or sea creatures from ocean parks, but rather a place where many lucky farm animals like cows, pigs, sheep and chickens stay. Why lucky Because they have been rescued from becoming your lunch by animal rights groups. The shelter was set up by Jill and Ben Smith. Neither of them eats any animal products, and they live on a plant-based diet. The idea to build a shelter first occurred to them in 2011 and was put into practice two years later. In 2016, they published a book called Our Farm, Family, telling stories of the animals that live on the farm. All the farm workers are volunteers without pay, but receive free lunch and coffee during the day. If you want more information, please ring 6978325. And if you want to become a volunteer, visit the farm’s website and fill out the online form. Please note that letters by mail will not be accepted.

The volleyball Final
Last Sunday afternoon, we witnessed the competitive high school volleyball final in the school gym, which sparked students’ burning passion for sports.
All the students in Grade one to Grade three got involved in the game. With cheerleaders and volleyball fans cheering around, players were fiercely competing for the championship. Finally, the champion team was presented with an award and the leader of the champion addressed a speech which inspired the confidence of all the volleyball teams.
Most students thought highly of the volleyball games. It not only added interest to our boring daily life, but also promoted our motivation to study.

One possible version:
Finally, the boys met at Washington Middle School on a Saturday afternoon several months later. The day was not spent on self-pity—t was really fun and unforgettable. They rode bikes around the school’s hallways, took photos, and played hide-and-seek. Trashaun taught Jayce how to slam dunks. He even gave Jayce a shirt as a gift. He talked about their left arms. He told Jayce he was perfect the way he looked. He encouraged him not to let anyone drag him down and shake his confidence.
After the meeting, Jayce learned to accept his disability. He began to understand that there are many people like him. He came to adapt himself to his disability. He recently started practicing shooting basketball every day and he really loves it. Jayce often chats with Trashaun on the Internet about basketball skills as well as some school issues. He is really motivated by this role model and has a positive attitude to his future life. As for Trashaun, he never dreamed that his videos would have such an impact. His relationship with Jayce made him look forward to helping more kids.

I’ve been into volunteer work since childhood. As a girl, I volunteered at animal shelters, played music at nursing homes, and helped with community cleanup. In college, I volunteered heavily at a large yearly conference (会议), where I first met and fell in love with my husband Tom, who was on my team of co-volunteers.
Volunteering has been a way of life for me and I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it. Most of the time, you do feel that you’re making a difference. Once I led a project that provided food to Syrian families. When it was nearing Ramadan, the biggest holiday season in Islam, I filled the food package with nuts, olive oil, sweets… We look the package and arrived just as a Syrian family was sitting on their floor for breakfast. They had nothing but some bread and a pot of tea. The mother cried when seeing us, saying she would never forget our kindness gratefully.
Another time, some friends and I volunteered to a church with only a few elderly residents. The churchyard needed attention. We spent the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and repair the churchyard. I’ll never forget the new life in her eyes as she stayed with us. It broke my heart to remember this old lady with pleasure for such small efforts we made.
Volunteer work is satisfying not because you have done some work, but because your presence has an effect on people around. It makes me grateful for what I have and gives me a chance to serve people.
24. Where did the author meet her husband for the first time
A. In her college. B. At a conference.
C. At a nursing home. D. At an animal shelter.
25. Why did the Syrian mother cry when the author arrived
A. She was grateful to the kindness. B. Her children were badly ill.
C. She didn’t have any food at all. D. Her house was broken.
26. What was the old lady’s attitude from Paragraph 3
A. Surprised. B. Disappointed. C. Pleased. D. Confused.
27. Why does the author think volunteering is satisfying
A. She can make lots of friends. B. She can learn much knowledge.
C. She can kill much of her free time. D. She can have an effect on people around.

Robots are often cast in popular science fiction as the bad characters that take over the world and enslave mankind (奴役人类). But with the beginning of some serious diseases, robots are increasingly being employed as helpers, taking on often dull, difficult and dangerous tasks and thus reducing humans’ exposure to some terrifying virus.
In the United States, two of the main ways in which robotic technology is being used in the hospitals are to disinfect (消毒) hospital rooms and act as a telemedicine(远程医疗) portal, allowing doctors and health care workers to communicate via video conference directly with patients without unnecessarily exposing themselves to those highly infectious virus.
In Boston, doctors, researchers and robotics engineers have teamed up to bring a friendly, dog-like, four-legged robot named Spot into Brigham and Women’s Hospital, allowing doctors to communicate with patients via telemedicine.
In March, at the start of the pandemic, a league from hospital, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Spot’s manufacturer—Boston Dynamics, began testing the robot’s design to enable Spot to communicate with patients, thus reducing the exposure of front line health care workers to the virus. In the place of a head, Spot has an iPad affixed to a stand, allowing doctors to conduct telemedicine services with their patients.
“Most people actually really like it,” says Dr. Peter Chai, an emergency medicine physician who serves as the hospital’s chief researcher on the robot project.
Researchers are working to increase the robot’s diagnostic abilities, enabling it to measure the patients temperature and his or her respiratory rate (呼吸率).
Chai predicts that hospitals will continue to find more ways to use robots, and tie wonders whether robots can deliver supplies to rooms or see patients with other infectious diseases (传染病).
28. What words can best describe the jobs robots are employed to do
A. Normal and easy. B. Frightening and difficult.
C. Dirty and complex. D. Exciting and dangerous.
29. Why are robots being used in American hospitals
A. To save money.
B. To replace doctors.
C. To protect doctors from infecting virus.
D. To deliver supplies to patients and doctors.
30. What do we know about Spot
A. It allows doctors to conduct telemedicine services.
B. It can help adjust the patient’s temperature.
C. It can deliver supplies to hospital rooms.
D. It is a friendly dog.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Spot the Robot Dog B. Train Robot Doctors
C. Robots Being Used in Hospital D. Robots in Popular Science Fiction

Our brains have an “auto-correct” feature that we use when re-interpreting (重新解释) ambiguous (模糊的) sounds, according to new research. The study sheds light on how the brain uses information gathered after the discovering of an initial sound to aid speech comprehension. The findings point to new ways we use information and context to aid in speech comprehension.
“What a person thinks they hear does not always match the actual signals that reach the ear,” explains lead author Laura Gwilliams. “This is because the brain re-evaluates the interpretation of a speech sound at the moment each following speech sound is heard in order to update interpretations as necessary,” Gwilliams says.
It’s well known that the perception of a speech sound is determined by its surrounding context—in the form of words, sentences and other speech sounds. This plays out in everyday life—when we talk, the actual speech we produce is often ambiguous. For example, when a friend says she has a “dent (凹痕)” in her car, you may hear “tent”. Although this kind of ambiguity happens regularly, we, as listeners, are hardly aware of it. “This is because the brain automatically resolves the ambiguity for us—it picks an interpretation and that’s what we perceive to hear,” explains Gwilliams. “The way the brain does this is by using the surrounding context to narrow down the possibilities of what the speaker may mean.”
In the study, the researchers sought to understand how the brain uses this following information to adjust our perception of what we initially heard. To do this, they conducted a series of experiments in which the subjects listened to isolated syllables and similarly sounding words. Their results produced three primary findings: The brain’s primary auditory cortex (听觉皮层) is sensitive to how ambiguous a speech sound is at just 50 milliseconds after the sound’s appearance. The brain “replays” previous speech sounds while interpreting the following ones, suggesting re-evaluation as the rest of the word unfolds. The brain makes commitments to its “best guess” of how to interpret the signal after about half a second.
32. What is the study mainly about
A. Why people make unclear sounds.
B. How brains understand unclear words.
C. How brains tell apart useful information.
D. Why some people process information faster.
33. What does the author want to show by giving the example in Paragraph 3
A. It is normal for people to make unclear sounds.
B. People are more likely to mishear their friends.
C. People can understand others even if they mishear a word.
D. People are likely to mistake a word for something familiar.
34. What do we know about the unclear words in the experiments
A. They seemed to be useless. B. They were noticed instantly.
C. They led to misunderstanding. D. They stopped us thinking further.
35. What does the underlined part “the signal” in the last paragraph refer to
A. The previous speech sound. B. The similarly sounding word.
C. The unclearly sounding word. D. The following speech sound.

Four habits of happy people
While the recent research has shown that about 60 percent of our baseline level of happiness is probably genetically determined, it means 40 percent is under our control. You can’t go back and get new genes. 36 Here are the good habits of happy people.
●Spend time outside. If you can clock 20 minutes a day outside, studies show you’ll not only maintain a better mood, but your mind will be more open and you’ll improve your working memory. 37
●Exercise regularly. All exercise releases endorphins (内啡肽) in your brain, and if you work out regularly, this mood can even carry over to non-workout days. 38 Mood stays about the same on days they don’t.
● 39 A study has confirmed that when people actively try to be happy, they raise their baseline moods, making them feel happier than those who do not try. In the study, two sets of participants listened to “happy” music. Those who actively tried to feel happier reported the highest level of positive mood afterwards.
Care for others. 40 Volunteer work is good for both mental and physical health. People of all ages who volunteer are happier and experience better physical health and less depression.
A. Exercise is easy to do.
B. Put effort into being happy.
C. People around you impact your mood.
D. Sunshine and fresh air make you feel good too.
E. But you can start a good morning over with a new attitude.
F. People who spend time every month helping others are happier.
G. On exercise days, people’s mood is significantly improved after exercising.

When Jayce Crowder was in kindergarten, he began noticing that he looked different from his classmates. They had two hands. But he had only one.
It started when one boy teased (取笑) him. Jayce was in a bad mood (心情). He’d return home in Des Moines, Iowa, with questions: Why am I different Why me Why “He actually told us that he was mad at looking so different from others,” said his mother, Cortney Lewis. “That really hurt him.” Lewis admitted she didn’t know what to do at that point. How could she provide answers to her son’s questions when she had never found those answers herself
A few weeks later, Lewis came home from her job and turned on the TV to a news story about Trashaun Willis, an eighth-grader from Washington middle school, Iowa. The boy, then 14, had become an Internet star after posting videos of his slam dunk (扣篮), and, like Jayce, he was missing most of his left arm. Lewis called Jayce in to see Trashaun on TV, too.
He was shocked, staring at one dunk after another. He was shocked, staring at one dunk after another.
“Cool,” Jayce remembered thinking with excitement. “I saw him dunking on TV.”
Willis’ story blew up last winter. The Des Moines Register wrote about him. NBC Nightly News flew to Iowa to interview him. Just recently, Sports Illustrated named him one of its Sports Kid of the Year finalists.
At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce—he’d see a shining role model with a seemingly similar born disability. And had it stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to the Des Moines Register, asking the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to encourage
Jayce and build his confidence. A few days later, the good news that Trashaun accepted the invitation to meet Jayce came.

Today we are visiting Woodhill Shelter, an unusual animal shelter in Britain. It’s not a place for wild animals rescued from zoos or sea creatures from ocean parks, but rather a place where many lucky farm animals like cows, pigs, sheep and chickens stay. Why lucky Because they have been rescued from becoming your lunch by animal rights groups. The shelter was set up by Jill and Ben Smith. Neither of them eats any animal products, and they live on a plant-based diet. The idea to build a shelter first occurred to them in 2011 and was put into practice two years later. In 2016, they published a book called Our Farm, Family, telling stories of the animals that live on the farm. All the farm workers are volunteers without pay, but receive free lunch and coffee during the day. If you want more information, please ring 6978325. And if you want to become a volunteer, visit the farm’s website and fill out the online form. Please note that letters by mail will not be accepted.

The volleyball Final
Last Sunday afternoon, we witnessed the competitive high school volleyball final in the school gym, which sparked students’ burning passion for sports.
All the students in Grade one to Grade three got involved in the game. With cheerleaders and volleyball fans cheering around, players were fiercely competing for the championship. Finally, the champion team was presented with an award and the leader of the champion addressed a speech which inspired the confidence of all the volleyball teams.
Most students thought highly of the volleyball games. It not only added interest to our boring daily life, but also promoted our motivation to study.

One possible version:
Finally, the boys met at Washington Middle School on a Saturday afternoon several months later. The day was not spent on self-pity—t was really fun and unforgettable. They rode bikes around the school’s hallways, took photos, and played hide-and-seek. Trashaun taught Jayce how to slam dunks. He even gave Jayce a shirt as a gift. He talked about their left arms. He told Jayce he was perfect the way he looked. He encouraged him not to let anyone drag him down and shake his confidence.
After the meeting, Jayce learned to accept his disability. He began to understand that there are many people like him. He came to adapt himself to his disability. He recently started practicing shooting basketball every day and he really loves it. Jayce often chats with Trashaun on the Internet about basketball skills as well as some school issues. He is really motivated by this role model and has a positive attitude to his future life. As for Trashaun, he never dreamed that his videos would have such an impact. His relationship with Jayce made him look forward to helping more kids.
