Passage One
A. However, a mind-reading is done by a new computer machine to change them. B. But scientists have taken steps to change this. C. Although it's not a detailed translation, the technique provided many possibilities. D. Each year, thousands of people lose the ability to speak due to accidents or diseases. E. But scientists have now made it possible! F. The result turned out to match pretty well.
Reading people's minds seems to be a superpower that only can be seen in movies. 1 American researchers developed a new machine to translate people's brain waves(脑电波)! It can turn the waves into words on a screen in front of the user. In the study, they tested it with people with disabilities.
According to the researchers, this is the first successful show of direct decoding(解码) of full words from the brain of someone who cannot move the body or cannot speak. 2 With up to 93% right translation results, the new machine shows a bright future to let these people fully communicate in the future.
One problem might be the electrode(电极) that are put into people’ s brains. It’ s inconvenient and has health risks. 3 They tried to translate people's thoughts without even touching their heads.
The new brain scanning(扫描) technique is called fMRI. It's a safe way of reading brain activity. The team asked some participants(参与者) to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains. Then they used a computer to“translate”the brain activity based on the fMRI recording. 4
In other tests, the new technology could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched. It could even retell a story that the participants imagined in their heads. 5

Passage Two
A. It is a perfect example of Hemingway's evocative(有感染力的) and sparse(简洁的) writing style. B. Hemingway's writing style is minimal(极简的). C. Just like how most of an iceberg's mass is hidden under the surface of the ocean. D. His word is an excellent explanation of the way Hemingway lived his life. E. He drew experience and knowledge from them and formed his own literary concepts(观念). F. Hemingway(海明威) is one of the greatest writers in the world and his works enjoy great popularity even today.
American author Ernest Hemingway once wrote, “The world is a fine place and worth fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.”
1 From his time as a soldier and war reporter to his adventures in Paris and Cuba, Hemingway saw much of the world and used his experience to inform(赋特征于) his writing.
This year would' ve been Hemingway's 120th birthday. Even decades after his birth and death, his writing continues to influence writers and readers today.
Throughout his travels, Hemingway met many famed authors and artists. 2
Despite facing many hardships and tragedies(悲剧),Hemingway never stopped seeking new experiences and adventures.
3 He invented the term“iceberg theory” to describe his writing. This refers to the idea that hiding deeper meaning under the surface of one's
writing can make it more impressive and thought-provoking(引人深思). 4
For example, it is said that Hemingway was once asked to write a complete story in10 words or less. He replied with“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” In this one simple sentence, he tells the tragic story of the loss of a child and the parents’mourning(悲痛). 5

Passage Three
A. It's their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime. B. It often results from being short of self-control and our body clock. C. Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bed time. D. It was found that those who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime than those who woke up early every morning. Self-discipline is an effective way to stop bedtime procrastination. F. According to a study, among 2400 people, 53 % of them couldn't follow their sleeping time they had planned.
“I'm going to bed earlier tomorrow!” But no matter how we decide, there are still many chances that we break our promises.
This behavior is called“bedtime procrastination”(睡眠拖延症). 1
Bedtime procrastination is a common problem. 2 They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn't stop doing some other things
Accordingly, people who usually have trouble resisting temptations(抵制诱惑)and adhering to their intentions(坚持己见) are more likely to delay going to bed.
However, scientists think being short of self-control is not the only problem. 3 In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, scientists studied the sleep patterns(模式) of 108 people! 4
And more surprisingly, night owls(夜猫子) would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. 5
People always think that bedtime procrastination isn't a big problem, but the choices we make that affect(影响) our sleep could finally be pretty important for our health.

Passage Four
A. So, again, patience can be key. B. Most meeting times can be changed, even if an exact time is given. C. So don't expect them to be on time. D. So, again, standard can be the key. E. So remember to arrive early. F. However, in some countries of the world, people have different opinions on“being on time”.
Nowadays, many people in China and Japan are racing against time. They put a lot of value in“being on time”. 1
Germany
Thanks to its industrial past, in Germany you are expected to arrive at least ten minutes earlier for any planned meeting. In Germany, being on time is risky enough because your hosts will probably already be there waiting, wondering how on earth you could be so stupid. What will you do if anything unexpected happens, like heavy traffic or a sudden rain 2
Saudi Arabia
Some countries care little about time and Saudi Arabia is one of them. It's because of their long history of desert living where time is not the first thing to think about. It could be that it's too hot to do anything on time. 3 Moreover,looking at your watch during an event is even considered as bad manners. So don't get angry with them, either.
Ghana
4 Ghanaians are very relaxed and easy going. They think that if everyone is late, then no one is late. After all, what can't be done today can get done tomorrow. If you find it difficult to deal with, prepare to be unhappy. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the ride.
Russia
Patience is considered a very important quality in Russian culture but being on time is not. When doing business in Russia, do be on time. Otherwise, it will be considered disrespectful. But Russians won't hold themselves to the same standard(标准). 5

If you don't have such friends, go to an English corner. E. You can learn English through imaginative play like a kid. F. One of the reasons kids learn so well is that they have no fear.
Have you ever wondered why you can speak Chinese fluently but when it comes to English, you find it hard to speak out 1 You are wrong! Chinese seems easy because you have been speaking it from childhood. Now, we can't go back to our childhood to learn English, but we can still learn from kids. Here are some tips for learning English like a kid.
Play to learn.
Kids learn when they play games. You can't just learn English by reading a textbook, or you will lose attention. 2 You can pretend(假装) you' re ordering a meal at a restaurant in London. Think about how you talk to others and what food you would pick in English.
3
Kids learn from people around them. They see, listen, experience and speak.You' ll need to create a similar learning environment. You don't need to go abroad,you just need to surround yourself with friends who are learning English too. 4As there is usually one central topic, you can hear and learn some words about the topic in the English-speaking environment.
Don't be afraid of making mistakes.
5 Don't worry about making mistakes — just keep practicing until you get things right! Learning a language takes time and effort, but stick with it, and you will achieve your goals. Trust me —— it's worth it!

Passage Six
A. But he is now able to run for half an hour every day. B. Part of the reason is that physical education test scores are now worth more on the senior high school entrance examination(中考). C. In fact, running was part of his homework. D. For example, they have to skip rope(跳绳) for two minutes and do three sets of sit-ups each day. E. Exercise is very important for the health of teenagers. F. He skips rope for more than10 minutes every day.
The winter holiday is usually a good time to sleep in. But GaoYuqi, a 14-year-old student from Anhui, got up at 7 am to run at least 2 kilometers every day during the holiday. 1
Gao was not alone. Many schools across the country asked students to exercise during the winter holiday. 2 In Anhui, the score is now worth up to 60 points,which is the same as the score for an academic(学术的) subject.
Because of this, Gao's school - Hefeil68 Taochonghu Lake Middle School - now asks students to run on sunny days and exercise indoors if the weather is bad. Students have to post exercise photos in their classes’ QQ groups. At the Golden Apple Jincheng No.1 Secondary School in Chengdu, students have daily exercise plans. 3 Their parents sign off on their plans after they finish exercising.
This has been a big challenge for many students, but has also helped to make exercise a bigger part of their lives. Huang Zhicheng, a 14-year-old student at the same school as Gao, used to hate running. 4 “I have decided to keep doing this in the future,” he said.
LuoZikun, a 12-year-old student at the Golden Apple school in Chengdu, fell in love with exercise during the holiday. 5 “I didn’ t exercise a lot in the past.Now it's time to catch up!” he said.

Passage Seven
A. Seven in ten people enjoy surfing the internet. B But it is also important to relax from time to time. C. However, it is still important to work as well. D. CMG's surveys focus on the happiness of China's population. CMG has also found that over the last10 years, Chinese people have generally become happier. F. What's more interesting is that people in different provinces like to do different things.
It's said that both work and play are important for a developing mind. It may be important for everyone to work hard. 1
Last year, the average amount of leisure time for Chinese people was 2.84 hours per day, higher than 2017's average of 2.27 hours, according to the China Media Group(CMG).
2 The surveys, which began in 2006, cover many areas, including leisure time, vacations and spending habits. Each year, CMG surveys around 100,000households(家庭) across the country, the newspaper noted.
This year's survey also showed what people prefer to do during their leisure time. 3 , while 55% like to watch TV and 46 % prefer shopping.
4 For example, people in Guangxi like reading books. Those who live in Tianjin prefer to go to a concert or movie. People in Jilin province prefer to exercise.
In general, people are happier when they have more leisure time, the survey suggests. Having enough leisure time has even become more important than income for Chinese people, GTN noted.

Playing video games and getting money for it seems like a dream job for many of today's teenagers. But is it all fun
Big business
Pro(professional) gaming(专业游戏) is certainly big business. In 2017, there were more than 3,000 gaming competitions and over 10,000 professional players worldwide. A large number of people watch their competitions online, and successful games can get more than 1,000,000 dollars from prize money and ads. 1
What it takes
Becoming a professional is not just about being good at playing games – 2
Some pro games practice for fourteen hours a day. “You need to spend much time and put all your efforts to it”, says ex-game r George.
3
It can be a difficult job as well. Stress is a big problem for games. Tiredness is another, and injuries(受伤) are common. Top player Hai Lam had wrist(手腕)problems after years of programing. 4

PassageTen
A. the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down. B. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child. C. This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. D. One of the main reasons is a change of life style. E. Children seem like a burden to young people. F. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all.
The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling.
1 In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russia’ s population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland(波兰) the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries.
2 All over Europe, people, especially educated women, have a different attitude(态度) to children from their parents. “I have one child and she is enough for me,” said Galina Tereschkova, a doctor from Moscow. “My husband and I both work full-time. We can't imagine having more than one child.” 3 “I don't want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years,” said 19-year-old student Hana Markova from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18-24-year-old women everywhere in Europe.
In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people,usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, 4
Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France,women now receive nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child. 5

A. In a report, the centre noted that the Internet was a special source(渠道) of stress. B. If they hide their mental health, it may remain a problem forever. C. The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness. D. My message for young people is, if you feel something is wrong within you—— ask for help E. They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble. F. About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge.
At some point in life, many people develop a mental(精神) problem. While most people get over it, for others it doesn't go away easily.
1 It's thought that the number of teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2023. It will become one of the main causes of illness,and even death. In China, the picture isn't bright, either. 2
The world is changing fast. Study and relationships have always caused stress,but today the stress is much higher than before, the WHO said. A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school. 3 Online, young people often see“messages about perfection” and this causes the young“great uncertainty about their futures”, says the centre.
Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems. 4 Elaine Peng, a US mental health educator, makes a similar point. And in the UK, over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma(污名). It is reported that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem.
Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. 5

PassageThirteen
A. It can show the five most common feelings. B. To master this skill, the AI program“saw” and“read” thousands of example images. C. It is part of a student project. D. A new app called Happy Pets can tell you what's going on. E. Then, it was taught to recognize the facial features (特征) of cats and dogs. F. The researchers think they are trustworthy(可靠的) since the app has been tested many times.
Have you wondered what your pets are feeling When your dog wags(来回摇摆)its tail, does that mean it is happy 1
The app uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze the facial expressions of cats and dogs. Then it can tell you what breed(品种) your pet is and how it is feeling. 2 —— happy, angry, neutral(中性的), sad and scared.
The key technology used in the app is facial recognition, a common use of AI. We can unlock our mobile phones or enter train stations with facial recognition readers.But this is the first time that the tech has been used with animals.
The app's AI was first taught to recognize a picture of an animal. 3 Next came the most important step--teaching it to detect (察觉) emotions based on certain facial features. For instance, if a dog tightens up its eyes and mouth while changing the position of its ears, this means the dog is scared. 4
How accurate (准确的) are the results 5 Interestingly, they have found that cats are harder to read than dogs. In the future, the app might also be able to analyze a pet's body to make its readings more accurate.

A. But this is actually a mistake. B. The most important consideration when buying a backpack is its future use. C. It is helpful to buy a backpack with much space inside. D. It is important to buy one that will be comfortable to carry. E. This way, important items such as knives are easy to reach. F. Thus, your clothing or supplies will not get damaged in bad weather.
When buying a backpack, there are several things you should consider. 1 A backpack used for carrying school supplies, for example, may not need to have as many features as a backpack that is to be used for hiking or camping.
When buying a backpack, look for one that can easily be placed on your back.Many people carry their backpacks over only one shoulder. 2 Backpacks are designed to be carried completely on your back, supported by both shoulders, in order to help evenly distribute(分配) the weight. In fact, carrying a backpack that is either too heavy or used improperly is one of the leading causes of back injuries in students.
3 If the backpack will be used for carrying textbooks, it must be wide enough to contain the width of the books it will carry. If the backpack is for hiking, it needs to be large enough to carry supplies such as a solar blanket and other camping things.
Another consideration when buying a backpack is the number of compartments (隔层) the backpack has. When used for hiking or camping, it's often helpful for a backpack to have several smaller compartments. 4
The material is also important when buying a backpack. When buying a backpack for hiking or camping, it is best to buy one that is strong enough. 5 If you are buying a backpack for college use, it might also help prevent your books and homework from getting wet while you are walking from one building on campus to another in the rain.

PassageSeventeen
After finishing his last delivery (送货), truck driver Zhou Qiang took Flight CZ8233 back home for Spring Festival celebrations. He was excited because it was his first time flying on China's own C919 airplane.
Once on the plane, he couldn't stop taking pictures to share with his family later. “The seats are really comfortable. 1 I can even cross them,” Zhou said. The flight from Guangzhou to Chengdu cut his travel time from at least seven hours by train to just two and a half hours this year.
2 In the past, many workers rode motorcycles home in the cold, but now more people choose high-speed trains or planes. * This is a big difference from about ten years ago when it was common to see workers riding motorcycles from cities like Guangzhou to their hometowns in Guangxi, Guizhou,Yunnan, or Sichuan.
Huang Xiaoyan and her husband were among those who used to ride motorcycles home. They spent 30 hours traveling from Foshan in Guangdong to their village in Guangxi. “It was freezing, especially when it rained. The roads were slippery(湿滑的) and dangerous,” Huang remembered. 3
In 2013, 1.1 million motorcycle trips were recorded during the Spring Festival travel season in Guangdong. But after 2014, the number started to drop as high-speed trains became more common, connecting Guangdong with places like Guizhou and Guangxi. This year, railways are expected to handle(应付) over 510 million passenger trips, an increase of 5.5% from last year. 4
5 Over the past three years, Huang and her brother have driven home in his car. “Almost no one I know rides motorcycles home anymore,” Huang added.
A. And there's lots of space for my legs.
B. And she said the journey was very difficult.
C. Road trips are also expected to reach 7.2 billion.
D. During the festival, there's a big travel rush in China.
E. Zhou noticed how things have changed over the years.
F. Now fewer people are willing to ride motorcycles home.
【答案】1-5A E B C F
【解析】
1. A 根据上下文可知,周强在描述C919大飞机的座椅的舒适性。下一句提到“我甚至能跷二郎腿”。 由此可知,A项“我的腿部空间很宽敞”符合语境。
2. E 第二段最后一句提到了周强搭乘的从广州到成都的航班比火车快很多,第三段对比了过去和现在的交通方式变化。由此可知,E项“周强留意到这些年来情况发生了多大的变化”符合语境。
3. B 第四段提到了黄小艳和丈夫过去骑摩托车返乡的经历,描述了他们旅途的艰辛,B项进一步说明旅途的困难。
4. C 第五段提到了因高铁的普及,春运期间摩托车出行减少,并提到了今年铁路预计运送的乘客数量增加,C项补充说明了公路出行的预期增长。
5. F 根据最后一段后两句可知,在过去的3年里,黄小艳和弟弟都是开着弟弟的车回家,她所认识的人中几乎没有人再骑摩托车回家了。由此可知,F项“如今,越来越少的人愿意骑摩托车回家”符合语境。
PassageEighteen
Pamela got accepted to Harvard University! 1 Harvard University is known for being hard to get into. Even if you get straight As in high school, you could get refused. You also have to be very active at school, do volunteer work and write well.
Pamela wanted to go to Harvard University, but she was worried about money. Harvard University is a private school, so it is expensive. 2

She applied for a scholarship for history majors, one for violinists, one for Filipino Americans, and one for female students. 5 This was a good start.

The iPod Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. 26 . Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. 27 . What’s even better, wearing card phones seems to give a signal to people which say. “I'm not available for chatting at the moment!”
Suppose you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough(极大的突破), but a workmate suddenly turns up. At this moment the slightest disturbance(干扰)would break your concentration. 28 . Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.
29 . It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore(忽视)their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework, they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile, and say “Yes, mum.” Problem solved.
Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears, but also our brains will be directly plugged into(接通)some new high-tech instruments. We’ll be in a virtual(虚拟的)world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. 30 . And they are changing our social habits along the way.

A.Our instruments are changing quickly
B.I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment

They hope to do this over the next three years. F. For example, they said they use a lot less fuel(燃料).
A city in California has got some new buses. They cost $490,000 each. 1 These new buses are better for the environment. They are called hybrid(混合动力的)buses. They run on diesel(柴油的) and electric power. 2
The man drove the new bus on Wednesday and noticed a difference right away. “I get to have clean air for a change”, said driver Melvin Day, “I'm smelling diesel all day long when I drive the old ones.”
The company that builds the buses had many good things to say about them. 3 . They also said that they are 90% cleaner for the environment. The buses are very quiet, too.
The buses have a diesel engine in the back and batteries(电池) on top. 4 Then the diesel power takes over.

During the National Day holiday in October, a Buddha statue at the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, Henan made headlines for its new look. It now has a smooth patina(氧化层). 1
What happened to this statue is not uncommon. 2 To better protect them,grotto temple workers have been asked to do research and determine how many daily visitors they can safely handle. The number of visitors should be controlled based on this research. 3
It's true that too many tourists can lead to problems like littering and damaged relics. 4 But grottoes in particular are at even greater risk for several reasons.
Over many centuries, the ancient rocks that make up these grottoes slowly corrode(侵蚀) due to the acidic content(酸含量) of air, water and microorganisms (微生物). 5
According to a study by the China University of Geosciences, the carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) that visitors breathe out has made the air more acidic at the Longmen Grottoes. At the Mogao Grottoes in Gansu, researchers found that visitors often bring in microorganisms. Even their body heat can increase the caves' temperature. All of these things can harm the relics inside.

Now,60.6 percent of China's population is urban. E. There are more job opportunities. F We call this process“urbanization”, or the growth of cities.
Living in the city has many benefits (好处). 1 ; education is usually of better quality; and museums, stadiums and theaters can keep you entertained(娱乐). 2 At the same time, some rural communities have grown to form cities.
3 We measure (衡量) the level of urbanization(城镇化) by comparing the
urban(城市的) population to the total population. The bigger the urban population, the higher the
urbanization level.
In a Xiaokang society, the urbanization rate should be over 50 percent. Forty years ago, less than one-fifth of China's population lived in cities, 4 The number of cities has grown from 193 in 1978 to 672 in 2018. China's urbanization goal has been achieved.

In many countries, tattoos are in fashion. On TV you can often see a famous actor or musician with a tattoo on his arm or foot. Many sports players have them, too. 1 Forty percent of Americans aged between 26 and 40 have a tattoo, and 60percent of customers in tattoo stores are women. These people are often professional people like doctor, teachers and lawyers.
However, tattoos are not modern. In fact, they are very old in human history. For example, archaeologists(考古学家) found a human in ice from 5,000 years ago. He had 57 tattoos on his back, ankles, legs, knees and feet.
2 In ancient Egypt, people got tattoos because they were“beautiful”.But in ancient Rome, tattoos were negative(负面的) and put on criminals and prisoners. In India, tattoos were religious(宗教的).

The people on the islands had tattoos on their shoulders, chests, backs and legs. 3 The European sailors liked them and made their own tattoos, so the idea traveled to Europe. Tattoos in Polynesia are still important today. 4
So is there a connection between traditional tattoos and fashionable tattoos And can you call tattoos a fashion Chris Rainier is an expert in tattoos and his book Ancient Marks has photos of tattoos from all over the world.

Then one day when going to work, I had been running behind again: Unluckily,on the way, my car was out of gas. As my car left the road, I looked at my watch. It's clear that I’ d be late. 2 I had a meeting in fifteen minutes and I hadn’ t finished preparing for it.
But as I looked out towards the east, the sun was just beginning to climb out of the hill. There was fog(雾) hanging over the river and some ducks were swimming across the glass-like surface of the water. A few boats sat on the river, which was shining in the sunshine. 3
I was surprised: This pretty scene had been going on right outside my car every morning. 4 I had been rushing around in such a hurry to not miss anything that I had been missing everything!

Sleeping in a rocking bed
When we were babies, we could easily fall asleep in our mothers' swaying (摇晃的) arms. Some scientists have found that if we sleep in a bed which moves softly forwards and backwards, we can have a deeper sleep. 2 Buying a rocking bed may be a good idea and it must be very fun.
Becoming emotional
Thinking back to the past, it seems that we could always remember those things that make us sad or happy easily. Why 3 The moment you become emotional, you can remember things really well. Because the amygdala(杏仁核) in our brain is responsible for dealing with both emotions and memories. The brain wants us to remember those things. When you want to remember some knowledge next time, try to make yourself angry or excited. Then, take out your book to catch the chance to learn new things.
4
In an experiment, scientists divided 100 people into two groups. People in the first group were asked to ride a bike slowly for 60 minutes. People in the second group only had to do it really fast for 6 minutes. It shows that the short but intense(剧烈的) exercise made the brain produce more of a chemical called“brain-derived neurotrophic factor(脑源性神经营养因子)”.

Who is the greatest English writer 1 His popular expressions, like “to be or not to be, that is a question”, and his stories such as Romeo and Juliet are almost famous in every corner of the world.
William Shakespeare was born in a small town in England in 1564. 2
By 1594, he had become an important playwright (剧作家) in London.

Shakespeare’s works also have a big influence on the English language. 4 Of course, Shakespeare wrote his plays 400 years ago and his English was very different from that of today. 5 His plays have been translated into other languages and are performed more often. There are over 400 films and TV plays adapted from his works. Shakespeare is not of an age, but for all the time.

Passage One
A. However, a mind-reading is done by a new computer machine to change them. B. But scientists have taken steps to change this. C. Although it's not a detailed translation, the technique provided many possibilities. D. Each year, thousands of people lose the ability to speak due to accidents or diseases. E. But scientists have now made it possible! F. The result turned out to match pretty well.
Reading people's minds seems to be a superpower that only can be seen in movies. 1 American researchers developed a new machine to translate people's brain waves(脑电波)! It can turn the waves into words on a screen in front of the user. In the study, they tested it with people with disabilities.
According to the researchers, this is the first successful show of direct decoding(解码) of full words from the brain of someone who cannot move the body or cannot speak. 2 With up to 93% right translation results, the new machine shows a bright future to let these people fully communicate in the future.
One problem might be the electrode(电极) that are put into people’ s brains. It’ s inconvenient and has health risks. 3 They tried to translate people's thoughts without even touching their heads.
The new brain scanning(扫描) technique is called fMRI. It's a safe way of reading brain activity. The team asked some participants(参与者) to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains. Then they used a computer to“translate”the brain activity based on the fMRI recording. 4
In other tests, the new technology could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched. It could even retell a story that the participants imagined in their heads. 5
Passage Two
A. It is a perfect example of Hemingway's evocative(有感染力的) and sparse(简洁的) writing style. B. Hemingway's writing style is minimal(极简的). C. Just like how most of an iceberg's mass is hidden under the surface of the ocean. D. His word is an excellent explanation of the way Hemingway lived his life. E. He drew experience and knowledge from them and formed his own literary concepts(观念). F. Hemingway(海明威) is one of the greatest writers in the world and his works enjoy great popularity even today.
American author Ernest Hemingway once wrote, “The world is a fine place and worth fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.”
1 From his time as a soldier and war reporter to his adventures in Paris and Cuba, Hemingway saw much of the world and used his experience to inform(赋特征于) his writing.
This year would' ve been Hemingway's 120th birthday. Even decades after his birth and death, his writing continues to influence writers and readers today.
Throughout his travels, Hemingway met many famed authors and artists. 2
Despite facing many hardships and tragedies(悲剧),Hemingway never stopped seeking new experiences and adventures.
3 He invented the term“iceberg theory” to describe his writing. This refers to the idea that hiding deeper meaning under the surface of one's
writing can make it more impressive and thought-provoking(引人深思). 4
For example, it is said that Hemingway was once asked to write a complete story in10 words or less. He replied with“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” In this one simple sentence, he tells the tragic story of the loss of a child and the parents’mourning(悲痛). 5
Passage Three
A. It's their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime. B. It often results from being short of self-control and our body clock. C. Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bed time. D. It was found that those who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime than those who woke up early every morning. Self-discipline is an effective way to stop bedtime procrastination. F. According to a study, among 2400 people, 53 % of them couldn't follow their sleeping time they had planned.
“I'm going to bed earlier tomorrow!” But no matter how we decide, there are still many chances that we break our promises.
This behavior is called“bedtime procrastination”(睡眠拖延症). 1
Bedtime procrastination is a common problem. 2 They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn't stop doing some other things
Accordingly, people who usually have trouble resisting temptations(抵制诱惑)and adhering to their intentions(坚持己见) are more likely to delay going to bed.
However, scientists think being short of self-control is not the only problem. 3 In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, scientists studied the sleep patterns(模式) of 108 people! 4
And more surprisingly, night owls(夜猫子) would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. 5
People always think that bedtime procrastination isn't a big problem, but the choices we make that affect(影响) our sleep could finally be pretty important for our health.
Passage Four
A. So, again, patience can be key. B. Most meeting times can be changed, even if an exact time is given. C. So don't expect them to be on time. D. So, again, standard can be the key. E. So remember to arrive early. F. However, in some countries of the world, people have different opinions on“being on time”.
Nowadays, many people in China and Japan are racing against time. They put a lot of value in“being on time”. 1
Germany
Thanks to its industrial past, in Germany you are expected to arrive at least ten minutes earlier for any planned meeting. In Germany, being on time is risky enough because your hosts will probably already be there waiting, wondering how on earth you could be so stupid. What will you do if anything unexpected happens, like heavy traffic or a sudden rain 2
Saudi Arabia
Some countries care little about time and Saudi Arabia is one of them. It's because of their long history of desert living where time is not the first thing to think about. It could be that it's too hot to do anything on time. 3 Moreover,looking at your watch during an event is even considered as bad manners. So don't get angry with them, either.
Ghana
4 Ghanaians are very relaxed and easy going. They think that if everyone is late, then no one is late. After all, what can't be done today can get done tomorrow. If you find it difficult to deal with, prepare to be unhappy. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the ride.
Russia
Patience is considered a very important quality in Russian culture but being on time is not. When doing business in Russia, do be on time. Otherwise, it will be considered disrespectful. But Russians won't hold themselves to the same standard(标准). 5
Passage Five
A. Maybe you think it's easier than English. B. Learn in an English-speaking environment. C. Kids are born with the ability to learn languages. D. If you don't have such friends, go to an English corner. E. You can learn English through imaginative play like a kid. F. One of the reasons kids learn so well is that they have no fear.
Have you ever wondered why you can speak Chinese fluently but when it comes to English, you find it hard to speak out 1 You are wrong! Chinese seems easy because you have been speaking it from childhood. Now, we can't go back to our childhood to learn English, but we can still learn from kids. Here are some tips for learning English like a kid.
Play to learn.
Kids learn when they play games. You can't just learn English by reading a textbook, or you will lose attention. 2 You can pretend(假装) you' re ordering a meal at a restaurant in London. Think about how you talk to others and what food you would pick in English.
3
Kids learn from people around them. They see, listen, experience and speak.You' ll need to create a similar learning environment. You don't need to go abroad,you just need to surround yourself with friends who are learning English too. 4As there is usually one central topic, you can hear and learn some words about the topic in the English-speaking environment.
Don't be afraid of making mistakes.
5 Don't worry about making mistakes — just keep practicing until you get things right! Learning a language takes time and effort, but stick with it, and you will achieve your goals. Trust me —— it's worth it!
Passage Six
A. But he is now able to run for half an hour every day. B. Part of the reason is that physical education test scores are now worth more on the senior high school entrance examination(中考). C. In fact, running was part of his homework. D. For example, they have to skip rope(跳绳) for two minutes and do three sets of sit-ups each day. E. Exercise is very important for the health of teenagers. F. He skips rope for more than10 minutes every day.
The winter holiday is usually a good time to sleep in. But GaoYuqi, a 14-year-old student from Anhui, got up at 7 am to run at least 2 kilometers every day during the holiday. 1
Gao was not alone. Many schools across the country asked students to exercise during the winter holiday. 2 In Anhui, the score is now worth up to 60 points,which is the same as the score for an academic(学术的) subject.
Because of this, Gao's school - Hefeil68 Taochonghu Lake Middle School - now asks students to run on sunny days and exercise indoors if the weather is bad. Students have to post exercise photos in their classes’ QQ groups. At the Golden Apple Jincheng No.1 Secondary School in Chengdu, students have daily exercise plans. 3 Their parents sign off on their plans after they finish exercising.
This has been a big challenge for many students, but has also helped to make exercise a bigger part of their lives. Huang Zhicheng, a 14-year-old student at the same school as Gao, used to hate running. 4 “I have decided to keep doing this in the future,” he said.
LuoZikun, a 12-year-old student at the Golden Apple school in Chengdu, fell in love with exercise during the holiday. 5 “I didn’ t exercise a lot in the past.Now it's time to catch up!” he said.
Passage Seven
A. Seven in ten people enjoy surfing the internet. B But it is also important to relax from time to time. C. However, it is still important to work as well. D. CMG's surveys focus on the happiness of China's population. CMG has also found that over the last10 years, Chinese people have generally become happier. F. What's more interesting is that people in different provinces like to do different things.
It's said that both work and play are important for a developing mind. It may be important for everyone to work hard. 1
Last year, the average amount of leisure time for Chinese people was 2.84 hours per day, higher than 2017's average of 2.27 hours, according to the China Media Group(CMG).
2 The surveys, which began in 2006, cover many areas, including leisure time, vacations and spending habits. Each year, CMG surveys around 100,000households(家庭) across the country, the newspaper noted.
This year's survey also showed what people prefer to do during their leisure time. 3 , while 55% like to watch TV and 46 % prefer shopping.
4 For example, people in Guangxi like reading books. Those who live in Tianjin prefer to go to a concert or movie. People in Jilin province prefer to exercise.
In general, people are happier when they have more leisure time, the survey suggests. Having enough leisure time has even become more important than income for Chinese people, GTN noted.
5 Working hard during part of the day makes leisure time more valuable and enjoyable, CCTV News reported.
PassageEight
A. Careers are short, and many games retire (退休) before they are 30 and try to find another job. B. But I'm just practicing for my future job! C. The industry is clearly thriving(欣欣向荣的). D. Not all fun and games. E. Work for fun. F. it also takes a lot of hard work.
Playing video games and getting money for it seems like a dream job for many of today's teenagers. But is it all fun
Big business
Pro(professional) gaming(专业游戏) is certainly big business. In 2017, there were more than 3,000 gaming competitions and over 10,000 professional players worldwide. A large number of people watch their competitions online, and successful games can get more than 1,000,000 dollars from prize money and ads. 1
What it takes
Becoming a professional is not just about being good at playing games – 2
Some pro games practice for fourteen hours a day. “You need to spend much time and put all your efforts to it”, says ex-game r George.
3
It can be a difficult job as well. Stress is a big problem for games. Tiredness is another, and injuries(受伤) are common. Top player Hai Lam had wrist(手腕)problems after years of programing. 4
However, the bad points probably won't change the dreams of many teenage games. And angry parents are still likely to hear the excuse, “ 5 ”
PassageNine

PassageTen
A. the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down. B. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child. C. This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. D. One of the main reasons is a change of life style. E. Children seem like a burden to young people. F. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all.
The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling.
1 In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russia’ s population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland(波兰) the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries.
2 All over Europe, people, especially educated women, have a different attitude(态度) to children from their parents. “I have one child and she is enough for me,” said Galina Tereschkova, a doctor from Moscow. “My husband and I both work full-time. We can't imagine having more than one child.” 3 “I don't want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years,” said 19-year-old student Hana Markova from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18-24-year-old women everywhere in Europe.
In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people,usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, 4
Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France,women now receive nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child. 5
PassageEleven
A. In a report, the centre noted that the Internet was a special source(渠道) of stress. B. If they hide their mental health, it may remain a problem forever. C. The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness. D. My message for young people is, if you feel something is wrong within you—— ask for help E. They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble. F. About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge.
At some point in life, many people develop a mental(精神) problem. While most people get over it, for others it doesn't go away easily.
1 It's thought that the number of teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2023. It will become one of the main causes of illness,and even death. In China, the picture isn't bright, either. 2
The world is changing fast. Study and relationships have always caused stress,but today the stress is much higher than before, the WHO said. A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school. 3 Online, young people often see“messages about perfection” and this causes the young“great uncertainty about their futures”, says the centre.
Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems. 4 Elaine Peng, a US mental health educator, makes a similar point. And in the UK, over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma(污名). It is reported that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem.
Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. 5

This special hair dryer will sell well in the market. E. And the company says it can dry long hair in just about 10 minutes. F. It can be connected to power.
After washing your hair, you might want to make it dry as soon as possible. Thena hair dryer is a great tool. A normal hair dryer is a small device in the shape of the number seven. At the bottom is a long wire. 1 Sometimes the long wire might be trouble for you. But now Volo Beauty has helped to solve the problem. They haveinvented the world's first cordless(无电线的) hair dryer.
Last Sunday, the company showed offthe new technology at a fair. 2 It will cut down the time it takes to dry yourhair and be more convenient to use.
According to Volo Beauty, this special hair dryer can run on medium heat for more than 20 minutes on a single charge(单次充电). 3
The system, called Volo Go, has a battery in it, allowing it to be used without the wire. 4 Volo says it will be sold at the price of$399.
5 Ryan Goldman, the CEO of Volo Beauty, tells reporters that the system takes years to make. He got this idea because he had been tired of seeing all of the wires hanging out of drawers at his salons(美发厅).
PassageThirteen
A. It can show the five most common feelings. B. To master this skill, the AI program“saw” and“read” thousands of example images. C. It is part of a student project. D. A new app called Happy Pets can tell you what's going on. E. Then, it was taught to recognize the facial features (特征) of cats and dogs. F. The researchers think they are trustworthy(可靠的) since the app has been tested many times.
Have you wondered what your pets are feeling When your dog wags(来回摇摆)its tail, does that mean it is happy 1
The app uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze the facial expressions of cats and dogs. Then it can tell you what breed(品种) your pet is and how it is feeling. 2 —— happy, angry, neutral(中性的), sad and scared.
The key technology used in the app is facial recognition, a common use of AI. We can unlock our mobile phones or enter train stations with facial recognition readers.But this is the first time that the tech has been used with animals.
The app's AI was first taught to recognize a picture of an animal. 3 Next came the most important step--teaching it to detect (察觉) emotions based on certain facial features. For instance, if a dog tightens up its eyes and mouth while changing the position of its ears, this means the dog is scared. 4
How accurate (准确的) are the results 5 Interestingly, they have found that cats are harder to read than dogs. In the future, the app might also be able to analyze a pet's body to make its readings more accurate.
PassageFourteen

Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. E. Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies. F. Doctors in Smile Train are always well paid for doing the operations.
Smile Train is a charity(慈善团体) that helps the millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect (缺陷). The defect SmileTrain happens when a baby's top lip or mouth doesn't form properly Changing the World One Smile o t a Time before birth. 1 The charity provides free operations,which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning.
Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often given up at birth because their parents feel ashamed of them or cannot afford the operations. 2 It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.
A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, “Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, 3 Every year I perform hundreds of operations free of cost through Smile Train.
4 One newborn baby girl was found abandoned on a train. Luckily for her, she was found and adopted by a passenger. This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital. “I did the operation and gave hope to the family. 5 In this way we make sure that these operations will always be available.”

A. But this is actually a mistake. B. The most important consideration when buying a backpack is its future use. C. It is helpful to buy a backpack with much space inside. D. It is important to buy one that will be comfortable to carry. E. This way, important items such as knives are easy to reach. F. Thus, your clothing or supplies will not get damaged in bad weather.
When buying a backpack, there are several things you should consider. 1 A backpack used for carrying school supplies, for example, may not need to have as many features as a backpack that is to be used for hiking or camping.
When buying a backpack, look for one that can easily be placed on your back.Many people carry their backpacks over only one shoulder. 2 Backpacks are designed to be carried completely on your back, supported by both shoulders, in order to help evenly distribute(分配) the weight. In fact, carrying a backpack that is either too heavy or used improperly is one of the leading causes of back injuries in students.
3 If the backpack will be used for carrying textbooks, it must be wide enough to contain the width of the books it will carry. If the backpack is for hiking, it needs to be large enough to carry supplies such as a solar blanket and other camping things.
Another consideration when buying a backpack is the number of compartments (隔层) the backpack has. When used for hiking or camping, it's often helpful for a backpack to have several smaller compartments. 4
The material is also important when buying a backpack. When buying a backpack for hiking or camping, it is best to buy one that is strong enough. 5 If you are buying a backpack for college use, it might also help prevent your books and homework from getting wet while you are walking from one building on campus to another in the rain.

That morning, my mom made us a delicious breakfast of banana blueberry pancakes. 3 The waiter brought a cake with candles to our table. Everyone sung Happy Birthday to me, and right afterwards (随后), my parents surprised me with concert tickets.
To make my 15th birthday special, my friend Justine invited me to her house for a sleepover(睡衣派对) and prepared a scavenger hunt game(寻宝游戏). 4 Justine got me a cool new book and a pair of pretty earrings.
Being 15 is special. 5 I start to care more about people and the world.
PassageSeventeen
After finishing his last delivery (送货), truck driver Zhou Qiang took Flight CZ8233 back home for Spring Festival celebrations. He was excited because it was his first time flying on China's own C919 airplane.
Once on the plane, he couldn't stop taking pictures to share with his family later. “The seats are really comfortable. 1 I can even cross them,” Zhou said. The flight from Guangzhou to Chengdu cut his travel time from at least seven hours by train to just two and a half hours this year.
2 In the past, many workers rode motorcycles home in the cold, but now more people choose high-speed trains or planes. * This is a big difference from about ten years ago when it was common to see workers riding motorcycles from cities like Guangzhou to their hometowns in Guangxi, Guizhou,Yunnan, or Sichuan.
Huang Xiaoyan and her husband were among those who used to ride motorcycles home. They spent 30 hours traveling from Foshan in Guangdong to their village in Guangxi. “It was freezing, especially when it rained. The roads were slippery(湿滑的) and dangerous,” Huang remembered. 3
In 2013, 1.1 million motorcycle trips were recorded during the Spring Festival travel season in Guangdong. But after 2014, the number started to drop as high-speed trains became more common, connecting Guangdong with places like Guizhou and Guangxi. This year, railways are expected to handle(应付) over 510 million passenger trips, an increase of 5.5% from last year. 4

The iPod Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. 26 . Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. 27 . What’s even better, wearing card phones seems to give a signal to people which say. “I'm not available for chatting at the moment!”
Suppose you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough(极大的突破), but a workmate suddenly turns up. At this moment the slightest disturbance(干扰)would break your concentration. 28 . Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.
29 . It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore(忽视)their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework, they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile, and say “Yes, mum.” Problem solved.
Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears, but also our brains will be directly plugged into(接通)some new high-tech instruments. We’ll be in a virtual(虚拟的)world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. 30 . And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It’s so strange﹣suddenly. I don't feel like wearing my cardphones anymore.
A.Our instruments are changing quickly
B.I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment
C.In the home situation, teenagers love these wires
D.I also have wires hanging from my cars
E.Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions
F.They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital noise reduction systems”

Passage One
A. This will help keep the air cleaner. B. The driver liked the new buses very much. C. The new buses are different from the old ones. D. When the engine starts up, it is powered by electricity. E. They hope to do this over the next three years. F. For example, they said they use a lot less fuel(燃料).
A city in California has got some new buses. They cost $490,000 each. 1 These new buses are better for the environment. They are called hybrid(混合动力的)buses. They run on diesel(柴油的) and electric power. 2
The man drove the new bus on Wednesday and noticed a difference right away. “I get to have clean air for a change”, said driver Melvin Day, “I'm smelling diesel all day long when I drive the old ones.”
The company that builds the buses had many good things to say about them. 3 . They also said that they are 90% cleaner for the environment. The buses are very quiet, too.
The buses have a diesel engine in the back and batteries(电池) on top. 4 Then the diesel power takes over.
Over time the city would like to use the new hybrid buses instead of all 50 of their buses. 5 The city will give money to help buy the new kind of buses.
One other bit of good news: The price of the bus ticket will not rise because of the new buses.
Passage Two
A. Too many tourists have touched it and caused its surface to change color. B. But when they are open to the public, the corrosion process speeds up. C. Tourism is causing damage to many cultural relics(遗迹). D. Poorly-behaved tourists might even deface(乱涂乱写) walls or try to steal relics. E. Tourists are also being encouraged to book tickets online and avoid visiting during peak(高峰) hours. F. There are already restrictions in place at the Mogao Grottoes starting in 2014.
During the National Day holiday in October, a Buddha statue at the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, Henan made headlines for its new look. It now has a smooth patina(氧化层). 1
What happened to this statue is not uncommon. 2 To better protect them,grotto temple workers have been asked to do research and determine how many daily visitors they can safely handle. The number of visitors should be controlled based on this research. 3
It's true that too many tourists can lead to problems like littering and damaged relics. 4 But grottoes in particular are at even greater risk for several reasons.
Over many centuries, the ancient rocks that make up these grottoes slowly corrode(侵蚀) due to the acidic content(酸含量) of air, water and microorganisms (微生物). 5
According to a study by the China University of Geosciences, the carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) that visitors breathe out has made the air more acidic at the Longmen Grottoes. At the Mogao Grottoes in Gansu, researchers found that visitors often bring in microorganisms. Even their body heat can increase the caves' temperature. All of these things can harm the relics inside.
PassageThree
A. People made more money than before. B. That's why many people have moved to cities. C. But it can also put more pressure on social services and public health systems. D . Now,60.6 percent of China's population is urban. E. There are more job opportunities. F We call this process“urbanization”, or the growth of cities.
Living in the city has many benefits (好处). 1 ; education is usually of better quality; and museums, stadiums and theaters can keep you entertained(娱乐). 2 At the same time, some rural communities have grown to form cities.
3 We measure (衡量) the level of urbanization(城镇化) by comparing the
urban(城市的) population to the total population. The bigger the urban population, the higher the
urbanization level.
In a Xiaokang society, the urbanization rate should be over 50 percent. Forty years ago, less than one-fifth of China's population lived in cities, 4 The number of cities has grown from 193 in 1978 to 672 in 2018. China's urbanization goal has been achieved.
According to the World Bank, a more rapid process(过程) of urbanization can help speed up economic growth. Urbanization also has other important benefits. For example, it can provide people with convenient transportation facilities (交通设施).

In many countries, tattoos are in fashion. On TV you can often see a famous actor or musician with a tattoo on his arm or foot. Many sports players have them, too. 1 Forty percent of Americans aged between 26 and 40 have a tattoo, and 60percent of customers in tattoo stores are women. These people are often professional people like doctor, teachers and lawyers.
However, tattoos are not modern. In fact, they are very old in human history. For example, archaeologists(考古学家) found a human in ice from 5,000 years ago. He had 57 tattoos on his back, ankles, legs, knees and feet.
2 In ancient Egypt, people got tattoos because they were“beautiful”.But in ancient Rome, tattoos were negative(负面的) and put on criminals and prisoners. In India, tattoos were religious(宗教的).
In the 16th and 17th century, European sailors(船员) arrived on the islands of Polynesia. They saw tattoos for the first time. The people on the islands had tattoos on their shoulders, chests, backs and legs. 3 The European sailors liked them and made their own tattoos, so the idea traveled to Europe. Tattoos in Polynesia are still important today. 4
So is there a connection between traditional tattoos and fashionable tattoos And can you call tattoos a fashion Chris Rainier is an expert in tattoos and his book Ancient Marks has photos of tattoos from all over the world. He thinks people in modern societies often have tattoos because they are a connection to the traditional world. 5 They are permanent(永久的) and for life.

I was surprised: This pretty scene had been going on right outside my car every morning. 4 I had been rushing around in such a hurry to not miss anything that I had been missing everything!
5 . I understood I needed to set schedules and made good preparations for big events in case of any hurry. More importantly, I should try to stay relaxed and enjoy present life. And there was no need to worry about unimportant things. Now I am here traveling this life joyfully and patiently.

People in the second group only had to do it really fast for 6 minutes. It shows that the short but intense(剧烈的) exercise made the brain produce more of a chemical called“brain-derived neurotrophic factor(脑源性神经营养因子)”. People can remember things quickly with this chemical. 5 That's the time when you need to sit down and start to remember things.
