On a hot July afternoon at Caney Lake in Chatham, a small Louisiana town in the United States, 20- year- old Winnfield native Eli Spangler was waist deep in water, while his friend, Rett Blake, held onto a small motorized boat to make sure it wouldn't go too far away. Eli secured the snorkeling goggles(潜泳护目镜) on his face and dived underwater, sticking his hand into a sunken tire in an attempt to grab a catfish.
The two men were equipped with snorkeling goggles, net, gloves and homemade plastic pipes with small pieces of wire attached to the end to help them secure a catch. Actually, those tools aren't enough. Initially, you have to familiarize yourself with a catfish's behavior. It enjoys resting in hidden holes or pockets, both natural or man- made.
Then, with your tools—— and a lot of courage—— you stick your hand into the fish's habitat.“ It can be hazardous,” Eli pointed out, showing off the cuts on his arm from previous catches and recalling a time when a 30- pound catfish bit him, all the way up to his upper arm.
On this particular afternoon at Caney Lake, they eye d two places as perfect spots: the shoreline, where they don't have to dive underwater, and the middle of the lake, where they swim underwater—— sometimes holding their breath for well over a minute. They' re aware that late July isn't the ideal time— the best catches are done during late spring.
Even though it was the end of catfish season, Eli and Rett caught four catfish, weighing in at almost 26 pounds altogether. They celebrated their hard day's work by frying up the catfish, taking photos and sharing them with their friends.
24. What can we know about Eli according to paragraph 1
A. He was sailing a boat with his friend.
B. He was seeking for his snorkeling goggles.
C. He was cooling himself down in water.
D. He was involved in catching fish.
25. What is the first thing you need to do before catching catfish
A. Know about their habitat. B. Train your reaction speed.
C. Prepare enough and practical tools. D. Have plenty of courage.
26. What does the underlined word“ hazardous” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Interesting. B. Confusing. C. Dangerous. D. Cheerful.
27. How did Eli and Rett probably feel after a day's work
A. They had a feeling of freedom. B. They were in high spirits.
C. They felt more confident. D. They were at a loss.
C
Is forgiveness against our human nature To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence (本质) of our humanity For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity. The first view involves control and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll(1984) made the interesting claim that humans' vital nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are risking their well- being as they pity others, who might then take advantage of them.
The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery (奴隶制) worked as a mode of social harmony
From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity(正直) of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through Robert Enright's scientific studies, is the decreasing of hate and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are disconnected accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.
As an important note, when we take a classical philosophical aspect, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the ability to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual appropriateness in conflict situations, develops with practice.
28. What is Droll's idea about forgiveness
A. People should take pity on others.
B. Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.
C. Forgivers can have their own welfare destroyed.
D. Aggressive people should learn to forgive.
29. Which of the following statement agrees with the second view
A. We needn't team up with others.
B. We'll get hurt when we forgive.
C. Forgiveness will definitely get rid of hate.
D. Forgiveness is beneficial to harmony.
30. What might be Robert Enright's attitude toward forgiveness
A. Objective. B. Opposed. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. It takes practice to forgive.
B. Forgiveness is in human nature.
C. Actuality is based on potentiality.
D. Forgiveness grows naturally.
D
Do you have a brain for math New research indicates that levels of two key neurotransmitters(脑神经传递素)—— glutamate(谷氨酸) and gamma- aminobutyric acid(GABA) can predict mathematical abilities, suggesting brain chemistry may be playing a role in those who find math easy.
The new study, published in the journal PLOS Biology, recruited 255 subjects (实验对象) extending a range of six- year-olds in primary school to university students. The research focused on glutamate and GABA, known to play a role in brain plasticity and learning. Based on prior research, the focus was on two brain regions linked with mathematical abilities—— the left intraparietal sulcus(IPS 顶叶内沟) and the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG 脑额中回).
The results were interestingly different. In the youngest subjects high GABA levels and low glutamate levels in the left IPS were consistently associated with high math skills. But in the older university group the exact opposite was seen: low GABA and high glutamate were linked with strong mathematical abilities. Levels of both neurotransmitters in the MFG did not associate with math skills.
The group was tested twice over 18 months, allowing the researchers to see if these neurotransmitter levels could predict mathematical ability into the future. And it worked, with neurotransmitter levels effectively predicting one's success on math tests completed a year and a half later.
Another recent study from the same research team looked specifically at GABA levels in MFG of 14 to 18 year-olds. That research indicated MFG GABA levels could effectively predict whether a student was still studying maths or had stopped that subject years prior.
Cohen Kadosh, one of the researchers working on the study, says this may indicate math education can help stimulate the development of key brain regions. Further research will work on whether certain learning interventions (干预) can help those children less interested in math so these brain regions still get the developmental workout they need.
“ Not every adolescent enjoys maths so we need to investigate possible alternatives, such as training in logic and reasoning that engage the same brain area as maths.” says Cohen Kadosh.
32. What is the new study aimed at
A. Revealing the structure of brain.
B. Testing the link between brain regions.
C. Exploring mathematical abilities of the subjects.
D. Finding the tie between brain chemistry and math.
33. What can be learned from paragraph 3 and 4
A. The levels of GABA decide one's math skills.
B. Low MFG glutamate means poor math ability.
C. Neurotransmitter levels can predict mathematical ability into the future.
D. The levels of Neurotransmitters in the MFG will affect math skills.
34. How can math education be improved according to Cohen Kadosh
A. By training key relevant brain areas.
B. By tracking slow learners' early learning.
C. By teaching math learners individually.
D. By improving the levels of GABA.
35. What can be the best title of the text
A. Ways to Promote Math Skills
B. Factors Affecting Math Education
C. Brain Activities Involved in Math Study
D. Neurotransmitters Predicting Math Ability

Ever reacted to a situation in a way you later regretted We all have. When we lack emotional intelligence, it can cost us relationships, both at work and in our personal lives. 36 So how can we do that In this post, I uncover three simple yet science- backed strategies to help you get started.
Form connections with micro- moments of upliftment
Have you ever noticed how some people leave you feeling exhausted while others make you feel energized and positive The difference often lies in whether you' re interacting with a“ positive energizer”—— someone who understands the power of small uplifting moments.
You can become a positive energizer yourself. 37 Instead, it's about sincerely connecting with people through modesty, empathy, honesty, integrity, and forgiveness.
38
Feeling overwhelmed or stressed Everyone does at times. Studies by our research team and others show that breathing exercises are one of the quickest and most effective ways to manage emotions in real time. By changing the rate of your inhales(吸气) to exhales(呼气), you can significantly lower your stress levels in minutes. 39 When you breathe in, your heart rate speeds up, but when you breathe out, it slows down. To practice, close your eyes and breathe in for a count of four, then breathe out for a count of eight. Repeat this for at least two to five minutes.
Tap into your self- awareness
Have you ever reacted to a situation at work in a way you weren't proud of No matter how successful we may be, we all struggle with managing our emotions at times and suffer the consequences afterward. Self- awareness is vital for managing your reactions and improving your relationships. It's about tuning into what's happening in your mind and body--- taking a moment to reflect and ask yourself“ What do I need right now ” Sit down and close your eyes. 40 Notice your state of your body, take note of your thoughts and notice your emotions.
A. Bring your attention inward.
B. Self- regulate with your breath.
C. The key is to extend your exhalations.
D. Manage your emotional intelligence wisely.
E. This doesn't mean forcing cheerfulness or wearing a fake smile.
F. Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify, assess and control the emotions of yourself.
G. Learning how to manage our emotions skillfully is critical to being socially successful.

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短文。
It was cold outside. It seemed as if a snowstorm was approaching. As evening fell, the wind picked up its pace, howling through the streets like a wounded beast seeking solace (安慰) in destruction. Then the snow started.
As usual, Tom and I worked overtime in the company. After finishing the work, we were ready to go home together. The snow was coming down even harder. Within minutes, I was in a whiteout. After giving Tom a ride, struggling to navigate the icy path, I took a shortcut(近路) so as to get home earlier.
The wind howled and whipped (吹打) the flakes of snow into a frenzy(疯狂), making it impossible to see more than a few feet ahead. The car was frozen and getting covered with snow, so I slowed down and rolled down my driver's side window, thinking I could better follow the road edge and keep a straight line. But in fact, I had no clue where I was. I stopped and kept the car running to stay warm. I called 911. Unfortunately, the operator told me that the weather was too bad to do me a favor and asked me to wait out the storm for the night.
The call left me in a total panic.“ Breathe,” I told myself, attempting to keep calm. Tom knew what had happened to me.“ Maybe you could ask for help online and there must be some people living nearby your location and they can show you the right direction.” He told me on the phone. I posted my location online and explained what I was going through, wishing for anyone to come to my rescue.

Dear Jim,
I'm writing to apologize to you. I shouldn't have posted that online to blame you for gossiping about me. I was too angry at that moment and failed to control my emotions. I realize my mistake and I'm really sorry for what I've done. I hope you can forgive me.

Within minutes, responses started flooding in. Some people offered words of encouragement, telling me to stay strong and that everything would be okay. Others shared their own experiences of being stuck in similar situations and how they managed to get through it. A few even suggested practical solutions, like staying in the car and waiting for the snow to stop or trying to find a nearby shelter. I felt a sense of warmth and hope amidst the cold and darkness.
Then I saw a big figure in the dark. As the figure approached, I realized it was a man wearing a thick coat and carrying a shovel. He introduced himself as a neighbor who lived nearby and had seen my post. Without hesitation, he started clearing the snow around my car and helping me push it out of the snowdrift. With his help, I was finally able to get back on the road and drive home safely. I was extremely grateful for his kindness and the support I received from the online community.
