Soundwise, the world’s most affordable, advanced in-ear hearing aid uses advanced technology so powerful that it can even pick up a low voice across the room. Here is how you can get them today to hear more clearly and enjoy chatting with others.
Most modern hearing aids have some serious shortcomings:
* Everybody notices them—they’ll make you look 20 years older as soon as you put them on.
* They collect all sounds from everywhere—which makes hearing your friends in a restaurant or crowded room impossible and can cause even more hearing loss!
Fortunately, there is a better way. Soundwise uses advanced technology that was specially designed to pick up low voices, so hearing your loved ones or the television so much clearer is no problem.
No more afraid of going to noisy restaurants, movie theaters, or crowded places. You can hear your friends and enjoy life thanks to Soundwise.
These hearing aids are unbelievably advanced:
* Advanced noise cancelation (取消)
* Ultra lightweight and hides in the ear completely
* Backed by Certified Hearing Professionals
* Risk-Free Home Trial with ONE YEAR
* Free portable charging station so you’ll never have to worry about batteries (电池)—the charge lasts 2 full days!
And the best part: it costs only 10% of what a doctor will charge you for hearing aids.

The brain might be the place where memories are stored, and its health and efficiency depend a lot on the general health of the body. Put simply, what’s good for the body is good for the brain.
Regular physical exercise doesn’t just build muscles and keep weight in check. It also protects memory and thinking skills. Research at the University of British Columbia found that regular aerobic exercise, the kind that increases your heart rate, also increases the size of the brain’s hippocampus (海马体). And a University of Maryland study found that memory improved in older adults after a 12-week exercise program.
If you’re not into running or even fast walking, how about dancing It turns out that taking a dance class may be one of the best activities you can do for your brain. A research team at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine looked at the effects of physical activity on preventing memory loss, and found that ballroom dancing was particularly effective, leading to enhancements in memory, attention and focus.
“Dancing combines physical activity, learning something new, and social engagement,” says Dr. Salinas, a neurologist at NYU Langone Health. “The more of these factors an activity has, the better off you will be.”
Sleep is also important for memory formation, especially long-term memory formation. When you’re asleep, the brain runs the tape of what it recorded during the day, gets rid of information that isn’t relevant and then stores other information for the long term.
Besides, doing those mentally engaging activities, such as playing crossword puzzles, can also help keep our minds active. Learning a new language is often regarded as an ideal activity for brain health. “Doing something new and challenging contributes to forming new pathways in the brain, helping information go from one part of the brain to another,” says Dr. Salinas.
While genetics (基因学) and family history play some roles in the risk of memory problems, so do plenty of other factors. Addressing any of these may make your memory sharper.
24. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
(①—Paragraph 1; ②—Paragraph 2; ③—Paragraph 3; ④—Paragraph 4; ⑤—Paragraph 5; ⑥—paragraph 6; ⑦—Paragraph 7)
A. B.
C. D.
25. What does the underlined word “enhancements” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Improvements. B. Effects. C. Troubles. D. Skills.
26. Why does the author mention Dr. Salinas’ words in Paragraph 4
A. To explain why dancing is one of the best activities for brain.
B. To show which activity is likely to bring us the most benefits.
C. To suggest that we should dance instead of doing other exercise.
D. To conclude that the more activities we do, the healthier we will be.
27. Why is learning a new language regarded as an ideal activity for brain health
A. Because it helps store information. B. Because it is not very challenging.
C. Because it makes use of pathways. D. Because it keeps our minds active.
C
In 2019, Air Company gained public attention when it produced vodka (伏特加) from carbon in the air, in order to reduce the amount of the harmful greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Today, the company has begun using the same process to make fuel (燃料) for airplanes.
Air Company’s clean aircraft fuel, which was recently tested, could some day help the airline industry achieve its goal of net zero carbon emissions (排放) by 2050. Currently, the airline industry accounts for about 3% of total global carbon emissions each year, and mainly uses traditional, fossil-based fuels.
A number of producers of clean aircraft fuel have come out in recent years, many of whom use something like plant material and cooking oil. But Air Company’s production process starts by pulling harmful carbon emissions out of the air.
The company first harvests carbon, mostly from industrial settings. It then takes water, separates the hydrogen from the oxygen, and puts the carbon together with the hydrogen and other mixtures. After that, it distills (蒸馏) that solution down. The final products are ethyl alcohol (乙醇) to make the company’s vodka and other products such as perfume, as well as paraffin, which forms the basis of its aircraft fuel.
By the time a plane has flown using Air Company’s fuel, it will have given off the same amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) back into the atmosphere as was acquired to make the fuel.
“Already, some of the world’s biggest airlines are supporting Air Company’s dream. They have agreed to buy millions of gallons of its fuel in the coming years.” The company manager says, “However, to get to those large industrial markets like aircraft fuel, traditionally known as the hottest industry to get green, is a long way to go. It’s going to take time, money and effort.”
28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Air Company is famous for producing vodka.
B. Air Company no longer uses traditional fuels.
C. Air Company’s fuel is likely to be environmentally friendly.
D. Air Company accounts for 3% of total global carbon emissions.
29. What does the underlined part “that solution” refer to in Paragraph 4
A. Ethyl alcohol forming the aircraft fuel.
B. Hydrogen that is separated from water.
C. Oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and ethyl alcohol.
D. Mix of carbon, hydrogen and other mixtures.
30. What can be inferred from the manager’s words in the last paragraph
A. Major Airlines have already put Air Company’s fuel into use.
B. It takes time for Air Company’s fuel to be used on regular flights.
C. The fuel produced by Air Company is sure to be very expensive.
D. Air company alone will be able to occupy the aircraft fuel markets.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Air Company: Make Air Travel Green
B. Air Company’s Carbon Production Dream
C. Air Company’s Environmental Supporters
D. Air Company: Make Traditional Fuels Available
D
Why Do Millennials (千禧一代) Keep Changing Jobs
Millennials have been labelled as the “job-hopping generation”. In fact, a recent survey showed that 49% of millennials would leave their job within the next two years! Observers from older generations may think it is caused by the youth’s laziness. However, if we search deeper, there is more than meets the eye.
Instead of the traditional and practical reasons of changing jobs, such as to get better salaries or greater job stability（稳定）, many millennials are inspired by value-driven goals. For example, more have to seek new opportunities whenever they lack a sense of belonging in their present jobs. Additionally, some also leave their positions for companies which better suit their value system. Therefore, it is clear that many millennials do not only consider their jobs as a source of income, but in fact, seek meaning and professional achievement in their daily jobs.
Clearly, the fearlessness of millennials in seeking job opportunities has been inspired by new business models. With the rise of online platforms, millennials who prefer work-life balance and flexibility have been attracted towards such jobs. Moreover, the increase of social media has also created more career paths. From food and travel bloggers to YouTube content creators, more millennials are leaving boring desk-bound jobs to look for more untraditional, but certainly attractive, careers.
However, people have different opinions on job-hopping. While some employers value rich experience and skills that job-hopping brings about, many of them still look down upon job-hopping. Some even argue in disappointment that the youths of today are lazy, unable to bear hardships and too self-centered.
The former American President Jimmy Carter once said, “Human identity is no longer defined (定义) by what one does but by what one owns.” Indeed, his comment still rings true today. Rather than allow traditional models of success in society to define our youths, the millennial generation should be encouraged to define new horizons of success by making the right career choices guided by the right values.
32. Why are Millennials more likely to move to new jobs
A. Because they are unwilling to work very hard.
B. Because they want to realize their self-worth.
C. Because they hate pressure from present jobs.
D. Because they need higher income and position.
33. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 3
A. The rapid development of social media promotes new career paths.
B. There are fewer professions available to Millennials on the Internet.
C. There are factors contributing to Millennials’ flexible job-changing.
D. The tiring and boring jobs prevent Millennials staying in one position.
34. What may those against job-changing think of Millennials
A. Courageous and noble. B. Lazy and self-centered.
C. Anxious and unconfident. D. Creative and hard-working.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards Millennials’ career choice
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Concerned.
