Kristin Schell is the visionary behind The Turquoise Table, an initiative that encourages the establishment of community within the confines of one's own front yard. A decade ago, she relocated with her family to a fresh abode in Austin, Texas.
In an effort to foster connections with her neighbors, Kristin hosted a convivial gathering. During the event, a mishap occurred when a delivery individual mistakenly placed one of the picnic tables in her front yard. Post-party, Kristin, enamored with the color turquoise, decided to repaint the misplaced table in her favorite hue and positioned it near the sidewalk.
This vibrant table quickly became the epicenter of Kristin's family life, serving as a spot for leisurely activities such as games, crafts, and snacks. Kristin remarks, "We got intentional about where we spent our time. We became 'front yard people.'"
As the allure of the turquoise table drew in passersby, neighbors began to make their acquaintance and engage in casual conversations. Kristin extended invitations for coffee or
iced tea, seated at the table. Soon, the idea spread, with neighbors inquiring about replicating the picnic table concept in their own yards. Thus, a grassroots movement was ignited, as Kristin describes, "It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others." The table, with its inviting nature, became a communal hub.
Often, individuals are reluctant to extend invitations into their private spaces, citing reasons such as disorder, inadequate size, or time constraints. Kristin notes, "Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others." Her picnic table serves to eliminate these barriers and alleviate associated pressures.
Kristin cherishes the table's role in combating loneliness and nurturing relationships within her community. She believes, "People's greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong."
A decade following its inception in Texas, the Turquoise Table phenomenon has flourished, with thousands of such tables dotting all 50 states and spanning across 13 countries globally. Kristin emphasizes that regardless of the color, each table serves as a "friendship table," a symbol of unity and connection.
4.What was Kristin's purpose of initiating the movement？ ______
A. To play with her family in her front yard.
B. To engage with people in the neighbourhood.

If you want to learn a language，try sleeping on it.This is the advice from researchers at Swansea University who are studying the interaction between sleep patterns，dreaming and memory consolidation （记忆巩固）—the process for laying down memories in the brain more securely.
In a study to be published in Journal of Sleep Research，the scientists looked at how sleep and the value attached to pieces of information a fleet their memorability.Participants in the study slept in a specially designed lab，while their brain activity was being monitored.
Native English speakers who had recently arrived in Wales had to memorize Welsh words and were tested on them 12 hours later.One group had to remember the information during the daytime，while the other slept on it in the lab.
The sleepers performed much better in a test of their newly acquired vocabulary—and caring about the Welsh language further improved performance.
Related work in the sleep lab，presented at the British Science Festival，aims to understand whether they are a byproduct of other events occurring during sleep.To understand the timing and content of dreams，the team analyzed the dreams participants reported in their own words，immediately on being woken.
This research found that the likelihood of experiencing a dream is particularly high—about 80 per cent during REM sleep.This part of the sleep cycle，characterized by rapid eye movements，is thought to play an important role in memory consolidation.
Electrical activity in the brain varies significantly at different stages of sleep.This helped researchers to monitor the length and quality of sleep，and to wake participants at particular points in the sleep cycle.
The research found daytime events were more likely to be formed into dreams with a one-day delay and to happen again and again after another five to seven nights.This is called the dream-lag effect.
8.What is the study mentioned in the text mainly about？ ______
A. The way to learn a language.
B. The effect sleep has on memory.
C. The experiment in a specially designed lab.
D. The phenomenon of dream-lag effect.
9.What does the underlined word "them" in the 3rd paragraph refer to？ ______
A. The sleepers. B. The Welsh words.
C. The researchers. D. The native English speakers.
10.What do we know about REM sleep？ ______
A. It always comes with a dream.
B. It is harmful to humans.
C. It is important to memory consolidation.
D. It lasts throughout the night.
11.From which section of a magazine is the text most probably taken？ ______
A. Economy. B. Entertainment. C. Society. D. Science.
D
If you aspire to master a new language, consider the intriguing suggestion from Swansea University scholars to "sleep on it." These researchers are probing the nexus of sleep patterns, the act of dreaming, and the critical process of memory consolidation—the mechanism by which memories are more firmly embedded in the brain. A forthcoming study in the Journal of Sleep Research scrutinizes the interplay between sleep and the perceived significance of information on its memorability. Participants were slumbered in a state-of-the-art laboratory setting, with their cerebral activity under constant surveillance. The subjects, native English speakers who had just arrived in Wales, were tasked with committing Welsh vocabulary to memory and were subsequently tested after a 12-hour interval. One cohort was required to retain the information while awake, whereas the other group was permitted to sleep in the lab. Those who availed themselves of sleep demonstrated superior performance in the vocabulary assessment, and an enhanced interest in the Welsh language further bolstered their results. Parallel studies conducted in the sleep lab, showcased at the British Science Festival, endeavor to discern whether dreams are merely a byproduct of other nocturnal activities. To decode the timing and substance of dreams, the research team examined the dreams recounted by participants in their own narratives, immediately post-awakening. This investigation revealed that the probability of dream occurrence is notably elevated—approximately 80 percent during REM sleep. This phase of the sleep cycle, distinguished by swift ocular movements, is presumed to significantly contribute to the consolidation of memories. The electrical activity within the brain fluctuates markedly across various sleep stages, a factor that aided researchers in gauging the duration and quality of sleep, enabling them to rouse participants at specific junctures in the sleep cycle. The findings indicate that daytime experiences are more prone to crystallize into dreams with a one-day lag and are likely to reoccur repeatedly after an interval of five to seven nights. This phenomenon has been termed the "dream-lag effect."
What was the primary objective of the study conducted by Swansea University scholars
A. To understand the effect of sleep on physical health.
B. To investigate the relationship between sleep and language learning.
C. To determine the impact of dreams on creativity.
D. To study the role of REM sleep in memory consolidation.
How was the experiment conducted in the sleep lab
A. Participants were asked to learn Welsh vocabulary and then were tested after 24 hours.
B. Participants were monitored for their brain activity while they were awake.
C. Participants were tested on their Welsh vocabulary immediately after learning.
D. Participants were tested on their Welsh vocabulary after a 12-hour interval, with one group sleeping and the other remaining awake.
What was the term used to describe the phenomenon where daytime experiences turn into dreams after a one-day lag
A. The "sleep-lag effect."
B. The "dream-lag effect."
C. The "REM effect."
D. The "consolidation effect."
What was the significant finding regarding the timing and substance of dreams
A. Dreams are most likely to occur during non-REM sleep.
B. Dreams are recounted immediately after waking up.
C. The probability of dream occurrence is notably elevated during REM sleep.
D. Dreams are a byproduct of daytime activities and are immediately forgotten.

47.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的文章。
Throughout the course of our existence, there exists an abundance of blessings that we ought to be grateful for, yet many individuals, myself included, often fail to recognize and appreciate them.
During the formative years of my life, I aspired to emulate the virtues of my mother. She was a paragon of kindness and compassion, possessing an uncanny ability to put others at ease. For an extended period, she dedicated her time and efforts as a volunteer within our community. I relished accompanying her to the local nursing home, assisting her in her charitable endeavors, until my teenage years, when I became so engrossed in my own life that I neglected to extend a helping hand to others.
On a particular summer day during my twelfth year, my mother entered my room and instructed me to rise and join her at the vehicle. I had envisioned spending the day by the lake in the company of friends. Why, I wondered, did she have to disrupt my plans Reluctantly, I made my way outdoors, envisioning the refreshing lake water against my skin. Consumed by frustration, I climbed into the car, slamming the door shut behind me, and sat in silence, too disheartened to engage in conversation.
"Tasha, would you be interested in knowing our destination " my mother inquired, her voice serene and composed.
"I suppose so," I muttered quietly, barely audible.
"Darling, we are heading to a shelter for children," she elucidated. "I have visited this place previously, and I believe it would be beneficial for you to experience."
My irritation intensified. How could I possibly be of assistance in such a setting
Upon our arrival at the shelter, I was taken aback by its appearance. It was a grand, white Victorian-style residence. As we approached the expansive front porch, the melodious sound of wind chimes filled the air, while the surrounding trees and flora greeted us with a sense of tranquility. It seemed that perhaps this experience might not be as dreadful as I had initially anticipated.
My mother rang the doorbell, and as the door opened, we were ushered into the front room where all the children were engaged in play. Toys were scattered across the floor. My gaze fell upon a baby with visible injuries on his body. The majority of the children bore evident physical marks such as lacerations, abrasions, and burns. The realization of the hardships they had endured prior to finding refuge in this place weighed heavily on my heart.

As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.

Kristin Schell is the visionary behind The Turquoise Table, an initiative that encourages the establishment of community within the confines of one's own front yard. A decade ago, she relocated with her family to a fresh abode in Austin, Texas.
In an effort to foster connections with her neighbors, Kristin hosted a convivial gathering. During the event, a mishap occurred when a delivery individual mistakenly placed one of the picnic tables in her front yard. Post-party, Kristin, enamored with the color turquoise, decided to repaint the misplaced table in her favorite hue and positioned it near the sidewalk.
This vibrant table quickly became the epicenter of Kristin's family life, serving as a spot for leisurely activities such as games, crafts, and snacks. Kristin remarks, "We got intentional about where we spent our time. We became 'front yard people.'"
As the allure of the turquoise table drew in passersby, neighbors began to make their acquaintance and engage in casual conversations. Kristin extended invitations for coffee or
iced tea, seated at the table. Soon, the idea spread, with neighbors inquiring about replicating the picnic table concept in their own yards. Thus, a grassroots movement was ignited, as Kristin describes, "It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others." The table, with its inviting nature, became a communal hub.
Often, individuals are reluctant to extend invitations into their private spaces, citing reasons such as disorder, inadequate size, or time constraints. Kristin notes, "Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others." Her picnic table serves to eliminate these barriers and alleviate associated pressures.
Kristin cherishes the table's role in combating loneliness and nurturing relationships within her community. She believes, "People's greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong."
A decade following its inception in Texas, the Turquoise Table phenomenon has flourished, with thousands of such tables dotting all 50 states and spanning across 13 countries globally. Kristin emphasizes that regardless of the color, each table serves as a "friendship table," a symbol of unity and connection.

If you want to learn a language，try sleeping on it.This is the advice from researchers at Swansea University who are studying the interaction between sleep patterns，dreaming and memory consolidation （记忆巩固）—the process for laying down memories in the brain more securely.
In a study to be published in Journal of Sleep Research，the scientists looked at how sleep and the value attached to pieces of information a fleet their memorability.Participants in the study slept in a specially designed lab，while their brain activity was being monitored.
Native English speakers who had recently arrived in Wales had to memorize Welsh words and were tested on them 12 hours later.One group had to remember the information during the daytime，while the other slept on it in the lab.
The sleepers performed much better in a test of their newly acquired vocabulary—and caring about the Welsh language further improved performance.
Related work in the sleep lab，presented at the British Science Festival，aims to understand whether they are a byproduct of other events occurring during sleep.To understand the timing and content of dreams，the team analyzed the dreams participants reported in their own words，immediately on being woken.
This research found that the likelihood of experiencing a dream is particularly high—about 80 per cent during REM sleep.This part of the sleep cycle，characterized by rapid eye movements，is thought to play an important role in memory consolidation.
Electrical activity in the brain varies significantly at different stages of sleep.This helped researchers to monitor the length and quality of sleep，and to wake participants at particular points in the sleep cycle.
The research found daytime events were more likely to be formed into dreams with a one-day delay and to happen again and again after another five to seven nights.This is called the dream-lag effect.
8.What is the study mentioned in the text mainly about？ ______
A. The way to learn a language.
B. The effect sleep has on memory.
C. The experiment in a specially designed lab.
D. The phenomenon of dream-lag effect.
9.What does the underlined word "them" in the 3rd paragraph refer to？ ______
A. The sleepers. B. The Welsh words.
C. The researchers. D. The native English speakers.
10.What do we know about REM sleep？ ______
A. It always comes with a dream.
B. It is harmful to humans.
C. It is important to memory consolidation.
D. It lasts throughout the night.
11.From which section of a magazine is the text most probably taken？ ______
A. Economy. B. Entertainment. C. Society. D. Science.
D
If you aspire to master a new language, consider the intriguing suggestion from Swansea University scholars to "sleep on it." These researchers are probing the nexus of sleep patterns, the act of dreaming, and the critical process of memory consolidation—the mechanism by which memories are more firmly embedded in the brain. A forthcoming study in the Journal of Sleep Research scrutinizes the interplay between sleep and the perceived significance of information on its memorability. Participants were slumbered in a state-of-the-art laboratory setting, with their cerebral activity under constant surveillance. The subjects, native English speakers who had just arrived in Wales, were tasked with committing Welsh vocabulary to memory and were subsequently tested after a 12-hour interval. One cohort was required to retain the information while awake, whereas the other group was permitted to sleep in the lab. Those who availed themselves of sleep demonstrated superior performance in the vocabulary assessment, and an enhanced interest in the Welsh language further bolstered their results. Parallel studies conducted in the sleep lab, showcased at the British Science Festival, endeavor to discern whether dreams are merely a byproduct of other nocturnal activities. To decode the timing and substance of dreams, the research team examined the dreams recounted by participants in their own narratives, immediately post-awakening. This investigation revealed that the probability of dream occurrence is notably elevated—approximately 80 percent during REM sleep. This phase of the sleep cycle, distinguished by swift ocular movements, is presumed to significantly contribute to the consolidation of memories. The electrical activity within the brain fluctuates markedly across various sleep stages, a factor that aided researchers in gauging the duration and quality of sleep, enabling them to rouse participants at specific junctures in the sleep cycle. The findings indicate that daytime experiences are more prone to crystallize into dreams with a one-day lag and are likely to reoccur repeatedly after an interval of five to seven nights. This phenomenon has been termed the "dream-lag effect."
What was the primary objective of the study conducted by Swansea University scholars
A. To understand the effect of sleep on physical health.
B. To investigate the relationship between sleep and language learning.
C. To determine the impact of dreams on creativity.
D. To study the role of REM sleep in memory consolidation.
How was the experiment conducted in the sleep lab
A. Participants were asked to learn Welsh vocabulary and then were tested after 24 hours.
B. Participants were monitored for their brain activity while they were awake.
C. Participants were tested on their Welsh vocabulary immediately after learning.
D. Participants were tested on their Welsh vocabulary after a 12-hour interval, with one group sleeping and the other remaining awake.
What was the term used to describe the phenomenon where daytime experiences turn into dreams after a one-day lag
A. The "sleep-lag effect."
B. The "dream-lag effect."
C. The "REM effect."
D. The "consolidation effect."
What was the significant finding regarding the timing and substance of dreams
A. Dreams are most likely to occur during non-REM sleep.
B. Dreams are recounted immediately after waking up.
C. The probability of dream occurrence is notably elevated during REM sleep.
D. Dreams are a byproduct of daytime activities and are immediately forgotten.

Throughout the course of our existence, there exists an abundance of blessings that we ought to be grateful for, yet many individuals, myself included, often fail to recognize and appreciate them.
During the formative years of my life, I aspired to emulate the virtues of my mother. She was a paragon of kindness and compassion, possessing an uncanny ability to put others at ease. For an extended period, she dedicated her time and efforts as a volunteer within our community. I relished accompanying her to the local nursing home, assisting her in her charitable endeavors, until my teenage years, when I became so engrossed in my own life that I neglected to extend a helping hand to others.
On a particular summer day during my twelfth year, my mother entered my room and instructed me to rise and join her at the vehicle. I had envisioned spending the day by the lake in the company of friends. Why, I wondered, did she have to disrupt my plans Reluctantly, I made my way outdoors, envisioning the refreshing lake water against my skin. Consumed by frustration, I climbed into the car, slamming the door shut behind me, and sat in silence, too disheartened to engage in conversation.
"Tasha, would you be interested in knowing our destination " my mother inquired, her voice serene and composed.
"I suppose so," I muttered quietly, barely audible.
"Darling, we are heading to a shelter for children," she elucidated. "I have visited this place previously, and I believe it would be beneficial for you to experience."
My irritation intensified. How could I possibly be of assistance in such a setting
Upon our arrival at the shelter, I was taken aback by its appearance. It was a grand, white Victorian-style residence. As we approached the expansive front porch, the melodious sound of wind chimes filled the air, while the surrounding trees and flora greeted us with a sense of tranquility. It seemed that perhaps this experience might not be as dreadful as I had initially anticipated.
My mother rang the doorbell, and as the door opened, we were ushered into the front room where all the children were engaged in play. Toys were scattered across the floor. My gaze fell upon a baby with visible injuries on his body. The majority of the children bore evident physical marks such as lacerations, abrasions, and burns. The realization of the hardships they had endured prior to finding refuge in this place weighed heavily on my heart.
