Beijing People’s Art Theater, arguably the most famous professional theater company in China, will present Teahouse by Lao She, which is the cornerstone of its repertory (剧目), as its New York City (NYC) appearance.
Teahouse will play at the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts in NYC from 27 Nov. 1 to Dec. this year. The production will be performed in Mandarin Chinese with simultaneous (同时的) English translation through headphones.
Teahouse is set in a typical, old Beijing teahouse and follows the lives of the owner and his customers through three stages in modern Chinese history, from approximately 1898 to 1948. It brings a cast of over sixty actors delivering their characteristic performance. Together, they reflected the changes in the then Chinese society through the Yutai Teahouse, a place where people from all walks of life came together.
The production in NYC will be the final stop of a U.S. tour that has also included performances in Houston and Los Angeles. As a well-received classic in its homeland, Teahouse is a must-see for everyone interested in contemporary Chinese literature, and anyone interested in catching a glimpse of the remarkable changes in modern China within two hours and thirty minutes.
Tickets are now available to purchase for the price of just $100 apiece (每人) at the booking office. You will enjoy a 5% discount off the price if you purchase through our website or app. For our local theatergoers who have bought our yearly plan, an extra 5% discount will also come your way.

A new study involving nearly 50,000 people from four continents offers new insights into identifying the quantity of daily walking steps that will best improve adults’ health and longevity (长寿), and whether the ideal number of steps differs across people of different ages. The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer (计步器), with no science to back it up.
Led by physical activity professor Amanda Paluch, an international group of scientists conducted an experiment among adults aged 18 and older. They grouped the nearly 50,000 participants into four comparative groups according to average steps per day. The lowest step group averaged 3,500 steps; the second, 5,800; the third, 7,800; and the fourth, 10,900 steps per day. Among the three higher active groups, there was a 40%–53% lower risk of death, compared to the lowest step group.
More specifically, for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6,000-8,000 steps per day, meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8,000-10,000 steps per day.
“So, what we saw was this continuing reduction in risk as the number of steps increases, until it levels off. Interestingly, the study found no definitive association with walking speed.” Paluch says.
The new study supports and expands findings from another study led by Paluch before, which found that walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged people’s risk of early death. “There’s a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity.” Paluch says. “More steps per day are better for your health.”
24. Why did the scientists carry out the new study
A. To know about people’s health condition.
B. To explain the pedometer’s working principles.
C. To determine the best physical activity for people.
D. To provide a scientific guideline on daily walking.
25. What does the underlined phrase “leveled off” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Turned higher. B. Became stable. C. Fell sharply. D. Changed rapidly.
26. What does the experiment find
A. The old should walk as much as possible.
B. Young people usually walk more than the old.
C. The most beneficial steps differ by age groups.
D. Walking pace is the key to avoiding early death.
C
Suppose you're eager to watch the latest televised sport. Nothing looks more attractive to you than your couch. But you also could use that time to figure out how to complete the home craft project, which will take you at least an hour of watching instructional videos to complete it. You know that you'd feel proud of yourself if you got it done. However, the couch's attraction becomes too hard to resist.
According to a research, your dilemma is an example of what's called the “happiness paradox (悖论)." Simply stated, this is the tendency for people to choose a leisure activity that requires very little effort even though they know that a true mood boost would come from sharpening and applying their skills. Prior research showed that when given a choice, people would rather engage in passive rather than active pursuits during their leisure time. However, it's an unreasonable choice because what will really make you happier is being busy in an activity that allows you to expand and strengthen your skills.
Why would engaging in a more challenging activity increase happiness The answer lies in the concept of“flow", that is, when you're using your abilities at their peak, you experience an uprush of happiness that pushes you through a challenging task. You won't feel that way if you just do the simple task.
Although the sofa is inviting compared to a halfway-done project, we still have a way to approach it. You can break the activity down into what can be more manageable sections. Looking more realistically at your abilities, and then seeking guidance, you can now feel better about the whole enterprise.
The finding doesn't mean that you have to abandon your couch all the time when you've got a choice about how to use your leisure time. Instead, you could put some variety into your choices. If you had a particularly tough week, either with managing your family or responsibilities at work, it's fine to take a break. You don't even need to feel guilty about that occasional use of “me-time.”
27. What is paragraph 1 about
A. Introducing a project. B. Defining a concept.
C. Stating a phenomenon. D. Providing an instruction.
28. What is happiness paradox
A. An active pursuit. B. A conflicting mindset.
C. A leisure activity. D. An effortless choice.
29. How can you entertain yourself when doing a challenging task
A. By breaking the task into small units.
B. By stepping out of your comfort zone.
C. By finishing undone project right now.
D. By reducing the variety of your choice.
30. What does the research show
A. The method of improving skills. B. The management of responsibility.
C. The happiness from easy activities. D. The wisdom of using your “me-time".

The secret powers of time
Do you think about the past 31 Or do you worry about the future Professor Philip Zimbardo describes three types of people: past, present and future people.
●Past types.
You sometimes miss “the good old days”. 32 . You worry about making changes or trying new things. You spend a lot of time with your family.
●Present types.
33 . You like doing fun things with fun people. You don’t have a healthy lifestyle. You avoid doing difficult or boring things.
● 34 .
You spend most of your tine working, saving and planning for a better future. You eat well and exercise regularly. You don’t mind waiting for the good things in life. 35 . But they often don’t enjoy their free time because they are busy thinking about the next thing.
According to Zimbardo’s research, everybody is sometimes the other types. However, we should try to have an equal balance of all three to be happy and successful.
A. Future types
B. Did you make friends
C. Do you enjoy the present time
D. You enjoy remembering your past
E. Many people dreamed to be teachers
F. The most important thing is to feel good at present
G. Future people are usually more successful in work

A
本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了中国最著名的专业剧院之一——北京人民艺术剧院将在纽约市上演老舍的经典剧目《茶馆》。
21. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It brings a cast of over sixty actors delivering their characteristic performance. Together, they reflected the changes in the then Chinese society through the Yutai Teahouse”（它汇集六十多个演员献上了有特色的表演。他们一起通过裕泰茶馆折射了当时中国社会的变化）”可知，观众可以欣赏到有特色的集体表演。故选B。
22. C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Teahouse is a must-see for everyone interested in contemporary Chinese literature, and anyone interested in catching a glimpse of the remarkable changes in modern China（对所有对中国当代文学感兴趣的人和任何有兴趣一睹现代中国发生的巨大变化的人来说，《茶馆》都是必看的戏剧）”可知，最适合观看这部戏的人应是对中国感兴趣的人，即“China enthusiasts”。故选C。
23. B 细节理解题。根据第五段“Tickets are now available to purchase for the price of just $100 apiece (每人) at the booking office. You will enjoy a 5% discount off the price if you purchase through our website or app. For our local theatergoers who have bought our yearly plan, an extra 5% discount will also come your way.（现在可以在售票处以每张100美元的价格购买门票。如果您通过我们的网站或应用程序购买，您将享受5%的折扣。对于购买了我们年度计划的本地戏迷，您还可以享受额外5%的折扣。）”可知，一个外地游客在线上购买门票，应该是只享受5%的折扣，那么买两张票的花费就是：100×95%×2=190（美元）。故选B。
B
本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究对四大洲近5万人进行了分析，确定了能最大程度改善健康、延长寿命的每日步数，同时调查了不同年龄段的人每日最佳步数是否有所不同。
24. D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer (计步器), with no science to back it up.(这项研究代表了一项关于体育活动益处的循证公共卫生信息的开发工作。这个每天一万步经常被重复的说法源于几十年前日本计步器的营销活动，没有科学依据。)”可知，现有的观点缺乏科学依据，本项研究旨在为科学的走路步数提供证据，由此可推知本研究旨在为日常走路锻炼提供科学指导。故选D。
25. B 词义猜测题。根据画线短语后面的“meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity”可知，多余的步数并不会增加额外的好处，由此可推知，步数到达一定量之后降低死亡的风险趋于稳定，不再变化。“leveled off”意为“保持水平，保持平稳发展”，与“Became stable”意思相近。故选B。
26. C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“More specifically, for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6,000-8,000 steps per day, meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8, 000-10,000 steps per day.(更具体地说，对于60岁及以上的成年人来说，过早死亡的风险稳定在每天6000—8000步左右，这意味着更多的步数对寿命没有额外的好处，而对于60岁以下的成年人来说大约是每天8000—10000步。)”可推知，年龄不同，最佳效果步数也不一样。故选C。
c
27.C 第一段通过一个具体的例子(观看体育比赛和完成手工项目之间的选择)来介绍面临的现象——“幸福悖论”。这个段落设定了情景，并进一步引出文章的主题讨论，所以选项C“陈述一种现象”是正确的。
28. B 第二段“According to a research, your dilemma is an example of what's called the “happiness paradox (悖论)." Simply stated, this is the tendency for people to choose a leisure activity that requires very little effort even though they know that a true mood boost would come from sharpening and applying their skills. ”文章中定义了“幸福悖论”为人们倾向于选择需要很少努力的休闲活动，即使他们知道通过锻炼和运用他们的技能能获得真正的情绪提升。这反映出一种内心的冲突和矛盾心理，故选项B“一种冲突的心态”是适当的。
29. A 第四段“Although the sofa is inviting compared to a halfway-done project, we still have a way to approach it. You can break the activity down into what can be more manageable sections. Looking more realistically at your abilities, and then seeking guidance, you can now feel better about the whole enterprise.”文章建议通过将活动分解为更易管理的部分来解决面对挑战性活动的不安。这种方法可以让人在执行任务时感到更轻松，并提高整体的成就感和乐趣。因此，答案A“通过将任务分解成小单元”是正确的。
30.D 在最后一段中，文章展示了研究结果并提出建议，指出在管理工作或家庭责任的繁重一周后，选择一些放松、使用“我时间”的方式也是明智的。这说明即使选择轻松的活动也有其合理性，因此选项D“使用‘我时间’的智慧”是符合文中表达的意思。

Hello, everyone this is your headmaster, Mr. Dodson, speaking. I'm sure you've all noticed the snowstorm has become worse since we arrived here at 8 a.m. The school staff and I apologize for not realizing how heavy this storm would be. It was reported that there would be 5 cm of snow. But indeed, we currently have double that amount. and it's expected to become over 20 cm by three o'clock, So, what does that mean It will require classes to end now, at 1l o'clock, Lunch will still be served in the cafeteria; you may have it now, For senior students who have driven to school, you're welcome to drive home, but please be careful. For everyone else, the school buses are coming at noon. You are advised to wait in the cafeteria until then. But please, for everyone in the school, call your parents to tell them what you're doing. It's quite a dangerous situation out there right now, And by this evening, we'll have almost a meter of snow on the ground. Next, wait for an announcement from our school bus driver, Jamie Johnson. He will tell you more information about bus schedules and safety advice. Thanks. everyone and please, stay safe out there
