We ourselves, as products of an educational system, are sufficiently perfect evidence against it. If we think of what we happily might have been, and then of what we are, we cannot but admit the total failure or the helpless insufficiency of our education.
32. What is the purpose of this article A. To complain about the educational system.B. To encourage readers to get educated in school.C. To discuss about how to get good education in school.D. To talk about the relationship between school and society.
D
Looking back on those years upon years which we spent in school, we know that something was wrong. If we will remember, we did not, at the time, exactly approve of the school system. Many of us, in fact, went in for sabotages. Our favorite brand of sabotage was the “withdrawal of efficiency”—in our case a kind of unconscious passive resistance. Good natured onlookers, such as our parents or the board of education, might have thought that we were learning something all the while; but that's just where we fooled them! There were, of course, a few of us who really learned and remembered everything—who could state off hand, right now, if anybody asked us, in what year Norman the Conqueror landed in England. But__the__trouble__is__that__so__few__people__ask__us!
33. What does the underlined word “sabotage” in 2nd paragraph most probably mean A. An unconscious act of destruction. B. The low ability to be efficient.C. A deliberate strategy of disrespect. D. The active resistance to success.

about what
5/7
Falling asleep or coming down from anxiety might never be as easy as 1 2 3, but some experts believe a different set of numbers—4 7 8—comes much closer to doing the trick.“What a lot of sleep difficulties are all about is people who struggle to fall asleep because their mind is buzzing,” said Rebecca Robbins, an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School.“__36__ And that's exactly what we need to do before we go to bed.”
What is 4-7-8
F. But exercises like the 4 7 8 technique give you the opportunity to practice being at peace.

The 4 7 8 method doesn't require any equipment or specific setting, but when you're initially learning the exercise, you should sit with your back straight, according to Weil. Practicing in a calm, quiet place could help, said Robbins. __37__

What is B about

the process
5/7
When you're stressed out, your sympathetic nervous system(交感神经系统)—responsible for your fight or flight response—is overly active. This makes you feel overstimulated and not ready to relax and transition into sleep, Rebecca said. “An active sympathetic nervous system can cause a fast heart rate as well as rapid and shallow breathing.”The 4 7 8 breathing practice can help activate your parasympathetic nervous system—responsible for resting and digesting—which reduces sympathetic activity. __40__
What results can an overly active nervous system cause
What benefits can the 4-7-8 practice bring
B. It can put the body in a state easier for restful sleep, he added.

A witnessed B
Last Sunday witnessed my involvement in...titled “ ”
In order to improve our sense of responsibility, our school organized a voluntary activity to help the elderly in the local nursing home. Inspired by the selflessness demonstrated by the volunteers in the pandemic prevention, I took an active part in it, talking with the lonely old people, helping them with their housework and trying my best to amuse them. By the time we left there, I had made friends with some of them. Looking at their smiling faces, I really felt happy and proud. I think I will continue to be a volunteer whenever I am needed.
