What should you take when you take an exam Pen, an eraser, a ruler… don’t forget a bottle of water!
Scientist at the University of East London and the University of Westminster did a study on 447 students. Only 111 of them took something to drink. Scientist then compared(比较) their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found those who had brought drinks with them all got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.
“We don’t know why drinking water can be helpful. But scientists said having enough water in our bodies may also cut down on nervousness (紧张不安). This kind of feeling would be bad for exam performances,” said Chris Pawson, PHD of the University of East London.
“Whatever the explanation(解释) is, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated(含水的) during exams,” he added.
So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you. Who knows—it may help you pass the exam.

Jason and his father were going to the grocery store by car to pick up some apples. It had been an unusual day. The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street, there started to be a rumbling (隆隆的) sound heard across the ground.
Jason’s father immediately realized that a tornado(龙卷风) was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all over the place. Jason couldn’t see his dad anymore. He also realized that he wasn’t getting to the building fast enough. He was afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air.
As he made his way toward s the building, he noticed a field to his right. He could see an irrigation ditch(灌溉渠). In a panic, he scrambled (爬) to the ditch and lay flat on the ground. More debris and objects flew overhead. His heart was beating hard, and he was nervous. He had never been in a tornado before.
After a while, the winds died down and the loud roaring sound was gone. Jason slowly lifted his head and nervously looked around. What he saw was a great mess. Jason could hardly recognize the buildings in front of him because of all the damage.
He stood up and with shaky legs walked to the building. Once there, he pushed the door open and went inside. It was a public building owned by the city. It was empty, but Jason could hear noises further inside. He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug.

France is famous the world over for its wonderful food. If you were lucky enough to enjoy a French meal, you would most likely be offered some bread to eat with it. The most popular bread they bake is called a baguette. Ten million baguettes are sold every year in France. Because the French expect their bread to be super fresh, most of France’s 30, 000 bakers have to end their day by throwing into the waste bin any remaining baguettes.
Frenchman Franck Wallet has thought about this food waste issue for many years. He originally trained to be an urban (城市的) planner and worked in that area for many years. But his mind would regularly turn to the problems of what to do with wasted food—especially baguettes. He began to talk with some engineers to see if they could come up with a solution. In 2016, a solution was found. They called the machine the “Crumbier”.
When a good baguette is just made, it is crispy on the outside and as soft as a cloud on the inside. Once it has cooled down the bread soon becomes hard. Before the Crumbier, this old bread would be thrown away. Today, if that bread is placed into the Crumbier, it is very quickly turned into very fine breadcrumbs(面包屑). These can be mixed with fresh flour(面粉), salt and water and baked again like normal bread.
Bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs has a darker colour, but just a little bit. The taste is also a little different and has been described as having the flavour of toast. Once the breadcrumbs have been produced, they can last up to six months if they have been packed properly. Because less water is used in Crumbier bread, it will last a little longer. The Crumbier is now on sale and bakers throughout France are making sure they have one. No one wants to waste food.
22．What do most of French bakers do at the end of their day
A．Prepare the materials for the next day. B．Give the remaining bread out for free.
C．Throw the remaining bread away. D．Sell the bread at a very low price.
23．What did Franck Wallet care about most
A．The waste of bread. B．The new taste of bread.
C．The freshness of bread. D．The popularity of bread.
24．What is special about the bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs
A．It has a much darker colour. B．It keeps for a shorter time.
C．It takes less time to bake. D．It tastes like toast.
25．Which word best describes bakers’ attitude to Crumbier in France
A．Doubtful. B．Uninterested. C．Supportive. D．Unclear.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
City life and heavy dependence on digital(数字的) technology mean children are spending less time with nature, which can influence their mental(精神的) and physical health. This is how to connect children to nature in simple ways:
26 Let them observe the different plants in the house or the birds that come to visit. Get them to see the shape of the clouds, sunrise, sunset as well as the moon and stars. These simple tasks are possible and very enjoyable for young children.
27 They also enjoy the tactility(触感) of different shapes and textures(结构). Nature offers a rich treasure trove of discovery for them, which can be a wonderful way to begin to introduce them to nature. When outdoors, let them collect flowers or leaves from the ground, and observe their different shapes and textures. 28
Recognizing textures and shapes like this is also good for brain development. 29 Encourage them to observe the different colours and shapes of trees and point out birds, insects and small animals to them. Let them develop respect for all living things.
Travel is a great way to get to know nature. Encourage visits to national parks, as opposed to only zoos. 30 Many cities have Butterfly Gardens and Nature Sanctuaries as well as Botanical Gardens, so do plan trips. Even on the beach, there are many things to observe like the colours of the sea and sky and small sea creatures. By doing small activities children learn better.
A．Young children love to collect things.
B．It will help sharpen their observation skills.
C．It is the best way to show respect for nature.
D．As they grow a bit older, take them for walks in parks.
E．Developing their love for nature can make them happier.
F．The former lets children observe animals in their natural environment.
G．When at home, get young children to help you to water plants or feed birds.
