Mindful eating doesn’t come naturally to me. I’d developed the habit of doing several things at once, like eating and reading. It felt like dead time not to use the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. I’ve been guilty of eating a really healthy diet - while barely noticing it.
It took an 11-year-old to truly show me what eating mindfully looks like. Many years ago, when my daughter came home after her first day at secondary school, I fired a flow of questions at her: “Did I you make new friends ”, “Were the teachers nice ” Entirely focusing on a cheese sandwich, she looked at me pointedly, “Mummy, I’ll tell you all about it in a bit. I just want to enjoy eating this sandwich quietly.” So I bit my lip and watched her close her eyes, smile and “Mmmm” as she chewed. It was a sharp contrast to how I ate my lunch.
We’re so used to reducing time that we’ve downgraded eating to something to be squeezed (挤压) in while we’re doing something else. Our grab-and-go culture encourages eating in a rush — the quicker the better. All too often, we end up wolfing down a few biscuits between calls as something to keep us going. But there’s a huge downside to our disconnected eating. When you don’t fully experience your food, you don’t pay attention to whether you’re hungry or not — or full or not.
Our social media feeds are flooded with healthy recipes and there’s no end of focus on the quality of our food. But there’s comparatively little focus on how we eat it — and actually that makes all the difference. So, let’s turn our attention to eating slowly, mindfully and with enjoyment. Here’s a challenge for you: Can you practice eating at least one meal a day without any distractions (分心) No smartphone, no TV, no radio, no newspaper, no magazines You might well feel a lot of resistance to it at first ... but keep trying!
4. What was the author’s initial opinion about multitasking while eating
A. It was a waste of time. B. It worked people to death.
C. It was an efficient time-using way. D. It dragged people from food enjoyment.
5. What did the author learn from her daughter
A. To fully enjoy simple eating pleasure. B. To maintain independence in growth.
C. To effectively balance work and relaxation. D. To prioritize family over personal activities.
6. What does disconnected eating lead to
A. Forgetting being on a diet. B. Being particular about food.
C. Addiction to multitask lifestyle. D. Unawareness of hunger and fullness.
7. What message does the author mainly convey
A. Modern lifestyles need big changes.
B. Technology has bad impacts on dining habits.
C. Enjoying meals attentively enhances well-being.
D. Healthy recipes are more important than eating style.
C
Parents hoping to raise bilingual (说双语的) children have long been given the advice to employ a strict one-parent-one-language approach. However, the findings from Concordia University’s Infant Research Lab indicate that many families in Montreal don’t abide by this model, with both parents frequently using both languages when communicating with their children. “This made sense to us, because there are a lot of adults in Montreal who are actively bilingual,” says Andrea Sander-Montant, lead author of the study.
The researchers analyzed data from 300 families taking part in the lab’s research between 2013 and 2020. They identified four main strategies used by the families: one-parent-one-language, both-parents-bilingual, one-parent-bilingual (where one parent uses both languages and the other uses one) and one-language-at-home (where one language is used at home and another one is used outside the home, such as at daycare) .
The study found there wasn’t a single strategy that could be singled out as “best” to raise a child bilingually. But when they looked at parents’ language use individually rather than the family’s overall strategy the researchers had an unexpected and striking finding: mothers had up to twice the impact on language exposure compared to fathers. The influence of mothers was particularly clear in heritage-language families.
“We think this may be the case because mothers still spend more time at home than fathers. There may also be cultural factors at play; where mothers feel it is their responsibility to transmit (传播) the language,” says Sander-Montant.
“This points to a new way of talking about transmitting languages,” says Krista Byers-Heinlein, a professor in the Department of Psychology. “Rather than stressing about using this or that strategy, families can make a calculation of who is spending time with the child and then figure out how the child can receive enough experience in both languages from fluent speakers.” The researchers believe these findings will have a real-world impact for policymakers, health care workers and educators who closely work with and give advice to bilingual families.
8. What does the underlined phrase “abide by” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Follow. B. Perceive. C. Oppose. D. Transform.
9. What is the key factor in leading to the breakthrough of the study
A. Long-held parenting beliefs. B. Conventional language guidelines.
C. Individual parental language use. D. Main strategies in bilingual families.
10. Why does the author quote Sander-Montant’s words in paragraph 4
A. To introduce another topic. B. To prove the finding reasonable.
C. To highlight the role of mothers. D. To provide essential background.
11. What is Byers-Heinlein’s suggestion for bilingual parents
A. Sending children to bilingual schools.
B. Hiring a full-time language teacher.
C. Seeking advice from health care professionals.
D. Fully exposing kids to both fluent languages.
D
Confused about AI and worried about what it means for your future and the future of the world In AI Snake Oil, computer scientists Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor cut through the confusion to give you an essential understanding of how AI works and why it often doesn’t, where it might be useful or harmful, and when you should suspect that companies are using AI hype (炒作) to sell AI snake oil — products that don’t work and probably never will.
The authors take direct aim at predictive AI, which is mostly used to make predictions about people. Will a defendant fail to show up for trial Is a patient at high risk of negative health outcomes Will a student drop out of college These predictions are then used to make consequential decisions in criminal justice, health and education. Developers claim predictive AI is groundbreaking, but in reality it fails to live up to the promises made by its developers. The authors argue that while we have made consistent progress in some fields such as weather prediction, many social and individual outcomes are fundamentally unpredictable due to their complexity and the role of chance events.
The authors are a bit more generous with generative AI, recognizing its value if used smartly. But in a section titled “Automating bullshit”, the authors note that ChatGPT is shockingly good at sounding convincing on any imaginable topic, but there is no source of truth during training. And the training data can contain false information — the data are mostly Internet text after all. They emphasize that an overreliance on generative AI can discourage critical thinking, the human quality at the very heart of this book.
When it comes to why these problems exist and how to change them Narayanan and Kapoor bring a clear point of view: society has been too polite and respectful to the tech industry. Better regulation is essential.
This book is an easy read, providing plenty of useful suggestions that can benefit anyone, whether you make policy decisions, use AI in the workplace or just spend time searching online.
12. What is the book AI Snake Oil intended for
A. Clarifying AI’s actual capacity and limits.
B. Erasing people’s fears about their future.
C. Correcting errors in using AI tools.
D. Introducing the basics of AI.
13. What does the author want to say about predictive AI by raising three questions
A. It can predict human needs.
B. It doesn’t work as advertised.
C. Its advantages outweigh problems.
D. Its developers meet their commitments.
14. What can be inferred about generative AI
A It is always well-received. B. It is based on reliable data.
C. It is actually double-edged. D. It is packed with false orders.
15. What does the author think of the book by Narayanan and Kapoor
A. Vivid and sharp. B. Abstract and simple.
C. Plain and heart-warming. D. Practical and straightforward.

Sleep is a moving target. When you are at different ages, you have different sleep patterns. How much sleep do you need at the various stages of life ____16____
Newborns and babies
Babies aged 0 to 3 months sleep 14 to 17 hours out of every 24 hours. Babies triple their weight between birth and 1 year old, and it’s during sleep — especially the deep cycle called slow-wave sleep. “____17____ There are a lot of new nervous connections forming and new learning going on,” says Dr. Cai, director of sleep surgery at a medical center.
Kids and teens
As puberty (青春期) hits, there is a big change. 13-to-18-year-olds need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night, but the teens’ sleep schedule shifts. ____18____ “A lot of teenagers have a delayed sleep drive,” Cai says. “That’s why some teens run into problems with early school times, and then they might need to catch up on their sleep during the day when they’re back home. That’s a real problem.”
Adults
Past the teen years, there is less cognitive growth and it’s more maintenance mode for the body. That’s when the need for sleep falls to 7 or 8 hours a night. Cai says, “The upper airway or the throat is collapsing over the course of the night and people have these micro-awakenings. ____19____ That can lead to poor quality sleep.”
Seniors
For people 65 and older, the release of melatonin (褪黑素) slows, leading to less and lighter sleep. Age-related physical changes can also have an impact on deep sleep. For people who are having a hard time sleeping the right amount of hours for their age group, Cai says, “____20____ It’s always worthwhile to see a specialist if there are any significant struggles.”
A. Why do our requirements shift all the time
B. Consulting a sleep doctor might be advisable.
C. Trying some over-the-counter sleep aids might help.
D. How can we improve our sleep at different stages of life
E. In fact, adding weight is not the only thing they are doing.
F. They stop breathing and their body wakes them up to take a breath.
G. Their bedtime comes later in the evening and wake-up comes later in the morning.

On Laura’s birthday, she received a music box with $20 from her grandparents, who wanted Laura to get a very special doll (玩偶) chosen by herself. Excited, Laura wanted to buy two dolls — one for her and one for her best friend Becky. The only doll Becky had was the one her sister played with.
Becky came to Laura’s home and looked at the music box and the other gifts.
“Becky, I’m so excited! With my birthday money I’ll buy two dolls, one for you and one for me. Just think how special that will be,” Laura said.
“Well, Laura, I think you should get just one doll, the prettiest one you can find. That’s your birthday money,” replied Becky.
“Come on!” said Laura. “Let’s go to the store now.”
They found a beautiful baby doll in the toy store. Laura picked up the doll which cost $15 and called it Baby Sue. They agreed that it was the most special of all.
“I’m going to put you back in your corner, Baby Sue. But I’ll come back for you,” Laura said.
“Why didn’t you buy it, Laura ” asked Becky.
“I want to talk to my mom first,” said Laura, with a sparkle (闪耀的光) in her eyes.
That night Laura and her mother talked a lot about Baby Sue and Becky.
Laura said Becky was too kind to say she’d like a Baby Sue of her own. But she saw eagerness in Becky’s eyes. Becky would love to have a doll of her own. She wished she could give Becky a Baby Sue... but she would like a Baby Sue, too.
Laura’s mother told her she would think about it and maybe there would be a solution to the situation. Then they went to bed. Laura could see that her mother had a special surprise sparkle in her eyes the next morning, but Mother didn’t tell her anything.

【47题答案】
【答案】
Laura and Becky skipped to the store but found Baby Sue wasn’t there! “Maybe the shopkeeper moved it. We could look inside,” said Becky. They walked into the store and ran to the doll section. After they searched the shelves up and down, their hearts sank. The doll that had caught their hearts was gone. Laura was in low spirits. “It’s okay, Laura. Maybe we can find another doll that we like next time,” Becky comforted Laura, trying to hide her own disappointment. The two girls walked back to Laura’s house, nearly failing to hold back their tears.
Laura’s mother was waiting for them at home with her eyes sparkling. “Girls, I have a surprise for you,” she said, leading them to a corner of the living room. There, wrapped in shiny paper were two identical Baby Sue dolls. Seeing the surprised girls, Mother explained that she had called the store the night before and learned that they had one more in the back. Mother’s smile was like the warm sunshine on winter days. Laura hugged her mother, and then the girls hugged their new dolls. They were grateful for Mother’s thoughtfulness and love.

Parents hoping to raise bilingual (说双语的) children have long been given the advice to employ a strict one-parent-one-language approach. However, the findings from Concordia University’s Infant Research Lab indicate that many families in Montreal don’t abide by this model, with both parents frequently using both languages when communicating with their children. “This made sense to us, because there are a lot of adults in Montreal who are actively bilingual,” says Andrea Sander-Montant, lead author of the study.
The researchers analyzed data from 300 families taking part in the lab’s research between 2013 and 2020. They identified four main strategies used by the families: one-parent-one-language, both-parents-bilingual, one-parent-bilingual (where one parent uses both languages and the other uses one) and one-language-at-home (where one language is used at home and another one is used outside the home, such as at daycare) .
The study found there wasn’t a single strategy that could be singled out as “best” to raise a child bilingually. But when they looked at parents’ language use individually rather than the family’s overall strategy the researchers had an unexpected and striking finding: mothers had up to twice the impact on language exposure compared to fathers. The influence of mothers was particularly clear in heritage-language families.
“We think this may be the case because mothers still spend more time at home than fathers. There may also be cultural factors at play; where mothers feel it is their responsibility to transmit (传播) the language,” says Sander-Montant.
“This points to a new way of talking about transmitting languages,” says Krista Byers-Heinlein, a professor in the Department of Psychology. “Rather than stressing about using this or that strategy, families can make a calculation of who is spending time with the child and then figure out how the child can receive enough experience in both languages from fluent speakers.” The researchers believe these findings will have a real-world impact for policymakers, health care workers and educators who closely work with and give advice to bilingual families.
8. What does the underlined phrase “abide by” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Follow. B. Perceive. C. Oppose. D. Transform.
9. What is the key factor in leading to the breakthrough of the study
A. Long-held parenting beliefs. B. Conventional language guidelines.
C. Individual parental language use. D. Main strategies in bilingual families.
10. Why does the author quote Sander-Montant’s words in paragraph 4
A. To introduce another topic. B. To prove the finding reasonable.
C. To highlight the role of mothers. D. To provide essential background.
11. What is Byers-Heinlein’s suggestion for bilingual parents
A. Sending children to bilingual schools.
B. Hiring a full-time language teacher.
C. Seeking advice from health care professionals.
D. Fully exposing kids to both fluent languages.
D
Confused about AI and worried about what it means for your future and the future of the world In AI Snake Oil, computer scientists Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor cut through the confusion to give you an essential understanding of how AI works and why it often doesn’t, where it might be useful or harmful, and when you should suspect that companies are using AI hype (炒作) to sell AI snake oil — products that don’t work and probably never will.
The authors take direct aim at predictive AI, which is mostly used to make predictions about people. Will a defendant fail to show up for trial Is a patient at high risk of negative health outcomes Will a student drop out of college These predictions are then used to make consequential decisions in criminal justice, health and education. Developers claim predictive AI is groundbreaking, but in reality it fails to live up to the promises made by its developers. The authors argue that while we have made consistent progress in some fields such as weather prediction, many social and individual outcomes are fundamentally unpredictable due to their complexity and the role of chance events.
The authors are a bit more generous with generative AI, recognizing its value if used smartly. But in a section titled “Automating bullshit”, the authors note that ChatGPT is shockingly good at sounding convincing on any imaginable topic, but there is no source of truth during training. And the training data can contain false information — the data are mostly Internet text after all. They emphasize that an overreliance on generative AI can discourage critical thinking, the human quality at the very heart of this book.
When it comes to why these problems exist and how to change them Narayanan and Kapoor bring a clear point of view: society has been too polite and respectful to the tech industry. Better regulation is essential.
This book is an easy read, providing plenty of useful suggestions that can benefit anyone, whether you make policy decisions, use AI in the workplace or just spend time searching online.
12. What is the book AI Snake Oil intended for
A. Clarifying AI’s actual capacity and limits.
B. Erasing people’s fears about their future.
C. Correcting errors in using AI tools.
D. Introducing the basics of AI.
13. What does the author want to say about predictive AI by raising three questions
A. It can predict human needs.
B. It doesn’t work as advertised.
C. Its advantages outweigh problems.
D. Its developers meet their commitments.
14. What can be inferred about generative AI
A It is always well-received. B. It is based on reliable data.
C. It is actually double-edged. D. It is packed with false orders.
15. What does the author think of the book by Narayanan and Kapoor
A. Vivid and sharp. B. Abstract and simple.
C. Plain and heart-warming. D. Practical and straightforward.

Newborns and babies
Babies aged 0 to 3 months sleep 14 to 17 hours out of every 24 hours.

On Laura’s birthday, she received a music box with $20 from her grandparents, who wanted Laura to get a very special doll (玩偶) chosen by herself. Excited, Laura wanted to buy two dolls — one for her and one for her best friend Becky. The only doll Becky had was the one her sister played with.
Becky came to Laura’s home and looked at the music box and the other gifts.
“Becky, I’m so excited! With my birthday money I’ll buy two dolls, one for you and one for me. Just think how special that will be,” Laura said.
“Well, Laura, I think you should get just one doll, the prettiest one you can find. That’s your birthday money,” replied Becky.
“Come on!” said Laura. “Let’s go to the store now.”
They found a beautiful baby doll in the toy store. Laura picked up the doll which cost $15 and called it Baby Sue. They agreed that it was the most special of all.
“I’m going to put you back in your corner, Baby Sue. But I’ll come back for you,” Laura said.
“Why didn’t you buy it, Laura ” asked Becky.
“I want to talk to my mom first,” said Laura, with a sparkle (闪耀的光) in her eyes.
That night Laura and her mother talked a lot about Baby Sue and Becky.
Laura said Becky was too kind to say she’d like a Baby Sue of her own. But she saw eagerness in Becky’s eyes. Becky would love to have a doll of her own. She wished she could give Becky a Baby Sue... but she would like a Baby Sue, too.
Laura’s mother told her she would think about it and maybe there would be a solution to the situation. Then they went to bed. Laura could see that her mother had a special surprise sparkle in her eyes the next morning, but Mother didn’t tell her anything.
“Let’s check the toy store today,” said Laura when Becky came over to play that afternoon.

【答案】
Laura and Becky skipped to the store but found Baby Sue wasn’t there! “Maybe the shopkeeper moved it. We could look inside,” said Becky. They walked into the store and ran to the doll section. After they searched the shelves up and down, their hearts sank. The doll that had caught their hearts was gone. Laura was in low spirits. “It’s okay, Laura. Maybe we can find another doll that we like next time,” Becky comforted Laura, trying to hide her own disappointment. The two girls walked back to Laura’s house, nearly failing to hold back their tears.
Laura’s mother was waiting for them at home with her eyes sparkling. “Girls, I have a surprise for you,” she said, leading them to a corner of the living room. There, wrapped in shiny paper were two identical Baby Sue dolls. Seeing the surprised girls, Mother explained that she had called the store the night before and learned that they had one more in the back. Mother’s smile was like the warm sunshine on winter days. Laura hugged her mother, and then the girls hugged their new dolls. They were grateful for Mother’s thoughtfulness and love.
