A
Students are sitting in a classroom at P.S.54, a public elementary school in Brooklyn, New York. When their teacher, Adrienne Heim, strikes a bell, they take a deep breath.
The kids are practicing mindfulness. That means they are learning to pay attention to the present moment. Why?
Being mindful can help people stay calm and focused, according to Heim. She is the founder of Green Generations. The organization brings mindfulness classes to eight schools in New York City.
Isafye Lewis, 10, has been taking in the class at P.S.54 for two years. "Mindfulness teaches me to relax, " he told TFK. "It really helps me feel better when I'm sad or angry."
At P.S.54, students practice mindfulness through deep breathing, movement, and relaxation exercises. But Heim says that mindfulness is about more than just staying calm. It also boosts confidence. "It helps children have a right attitude, " She says, "so they can make healthy decisions."
Recent research published in Developmental Psychology supports this view. The study also found that mindfulness training can help kids succeed in school. That's because it trains the brain to pay attention and manage stress.
"It doesn't solve math equations for kids," Mariam Gates, author of This Moment Is Your Life, told TFK. "But what mindfulness does for all of us is help us focus on the moment we're in, which is the only place we can learn, change, or grow."
But you don't have to be in a classroom to practice mindfulness. Gates says, "You can always bring your attention to this moment and change how you experience it."
51. Why do the students take a deep breath when the teacher strikes a bell?
A. They are afraid of the teacher. B. They are practising mindfullness.
C. They are taking an exam. D. They are having singing class.
52. What does Isafye learn from mindfulness?
A. How to take it easy. B. How to stay focused.
C. How to stop being sad. D. How to get high grades.
53. What does the underlined word "boosts" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. shakes. B. studies. C. raises. D. requires.
54. What did Mariam Gates say about mindfulness?
A. It does little to help kids' studies. B. It helps kids make decisions.
C. It makes kids less stressful. D. It helps kids pay attention.
55. What is this text mainly about?
A. An organization centered on mindfulness. B. A new study on mindfulness.
C. An introduction to mindfulness. D. The influences of mindfulness.
B
Sharon Karepov and Tal Ellenbogen, engineers from Tel Aviv University in Israel, have found a way to apply this technology to contact lenses(隐形眼镜). This is good news for the millions of people worldwide who suffer from colorblindness.
One of the most common types of colorblindness is red-green colorblindness. People who have this specific type have difficulty telling the colors red and green apart. "Problems with distinguishing red from green stop simple daily routines such as deciding whether a banana is ripe," Karepov explained.
Karepov also stressed the importance of applying this finding to create special contact lenses instead of relying on color-correcting glasses.
"Glasses based on this correction concept are commercially available. However, they are too big than contact lenses." Karepov said. "Our contact lenses create a customized, compact and durable(耐用的)way to deal with these shortcomings."
This new research is groundbreaking. In addition to offering those who are colorblind another option, it may lead to solutions for other visual damage.
56. What can cause colorblindness, according to the article?
A. Only one type of cone-shaped cell exists in the eyes.
B. Cone-shaped cells cannot process images received.
C. The brain fails to absorb and process light waves.
D. Cone-shaped cells probably don't work properly.
57. What is true about people with colorblindness?
A. They can recognize 1 million different colors.
B. They are not interested in colorful stuff.
C. They may find daily tasks more difficult.
D. They have fewer cone-shaped cells than other people.
58. What does "this technology" means in Paragraph 5?
A. Three cone-shaped cells. B. Special color-correcting glasses.
C. Processed image. D. Red-green colorblindness type.
59. What is the advantage of the contact lenses over the glasses?
A. They are much smaller. B. They are easier to make.
C. They are much cheaper. D. They can help correct colorblindness.
60. Why is Sharon Karepov and Tal Ellenbogen's research groundbreaking?
A. It has led to a cure for colorblindness.
B. It has found causes of visual damage.
C. It could lead to solutions for other visual damage.
D. It has helped to develop glasses to fix visual damage.

Reading with Rover is a reading program where children read to dogs. In addition to Reading with Rover, which is based on Washington state, there are many such reading programs around the country. The goal of all these programs is to improve the reading skills of children with reading problems by having children read to dogs.
When reading aloud in the classroom, many children with reading problems and poor reading skills feel frightened. They have little confidence in themselves and are afraid of being laughed at. They may also feel that reading is difficult, boring and stressful. However, when children read to dogs, reading becomes a fun and non-stressful experience for both the children and the dogs. Dogs don’t criticize, judge or laugh at the children’s reading ability.
Reading with Rover and other programs like it have been a huge success, resulting in improved reading skills for a significant number of participating children with reading problems. In addition to making learning enjoyable, when children read to dogs, it increases their sense of worth and self-confidence.
As part of the Reading with Rover program, the children read to dogs that are registered therapy dogs. These are dogs that have been trained and tested. Along with their owners, these dogs have become registered therapy teams.
A recent research study was conducted by the University of California, which concluded that when children read to dogs, it can increase their reading skills by thirty percent.
Children who took part in this study remarked, “I feel relaxed when I am reading to a dog because I am having fun.” “The dogs don’t care if you read really badly so you just keep going.”
When children read to dogs and improve their reading skills, it becomes just another example of how wonderful dogs are and how important they are to our society.
61. What’s the aim of Reading with Rover?(no more than 10 words)
62. Why does reading become a fun and non-stressful experience when children read to dogs?(no more than 12 words)
63. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?(no more than 12 words)
64. What does the underlined word “conducted” mean in the fifth paragraph?(no more than 2 words)
65. What do you think of Reading with Rover and other programs like it? Please explain.(no more than 25 words)
