Abut five weeks ag, I nticed the skin f ur pet lizard was grwing dusty. Later, ur lizard emerged frm its tank with its ld skin flwing behind it. I didn't think abut it much until a mrning last week when I kncked my favrite teapt ff the table. It burst int hundreds f pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wndered why we had been breaking s many things ver the mnths.
The destructin started three mnths ag. It was my husband's birthday. He had just lst his jb. The uncertainty was starting t wear n us, s I wanted t d smething special.
“Let's make a cake fr Dad!” I cried. My kids screamed with jy. We baked, iced and sprinkled fr mst f the day. Candles n the cake! Ballns n the walls! Flwers n the table!
Tw hurs befre my husband came back hme frm anther jb interview, my daughter climbed up t grab a glass vase frm a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces f glass were everywhere. She sbbed ludly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding fr his birthday.
Three days ag, the light in ur living rm suddenly went ut. After several frustrating hurs f unsuccessful attempts t fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jrdan dcumentary series The Last Dance.
The pignancy （酸楚） f Jrdan retiring frm his belved basketball t play baseball and what had pushed him t make such a tugh decisin tk me by surprise. As I watched him take ff his basketball unifrm and replace it with a baseball unifrm, I saw him leaving behind the layer that n lnger served him, just as ur lizard had. Neither f them chse the mment that had transfrmed them. But they had t live with wh they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have t learn t leave the past behind.
Humans d nt shed skin （蜕皮）as easily as ther animals. The beginning f change is upsetting. The prcess is tiring. Damage changes us befre we are ready. I see ur lizard, raw and nearly new.
Jrdan said that n matter hw it ends, it starts with hpe. With ur tender, hpeful skin, that is where we begin.
24. Why did the authr's husband have banana pudding fr his birthday?

New App Helps Peple Remember Faces
Large gatherings such as weddings and cnferences can be scially verwhelming. Pressure t learn peple's names nly adds t the stress. A new facial-recgnitin app culd cme t the rescue, but privacy experts recmmend prceeding with cautin.
The app, called Scial Recall, cnnects names with faces via smartphne cameras and facial recgnitin, ptentially aviding the need fr frmal intrductins. “It breaks dwn these scial barriers we all have when meeting smebdy, ” says Barry Sandrew, wh created the app and tested it at an event attended by abut 1, 000 peple.
After receiving an invitatin t dwnlad Scial Recall frm an event rganizer, the user is asked t take tw selfies and sign in via scial media. At the event, the app is active within a previusly defined gegraphical area. When a user pints his r her phne camera at an attendee's face, the app identifies the individual, displays the name, and links t his r her scial media prfile. T prtect privacy, it recgnizes nly thse wh have agreed t participate. And the app's creatrs say it autmatically deletes users' data after an event.
The start-up has als develped a versin f the app fr individuals wh suffer frm prspagnsia, r “face blindness, ” a cnditin that prevents peple frm recgnizing individuals they have met. T use this app, a persn first acquires an image f smene's face, frm either the smartphne's camera r a phtgraph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spts that same face in real life, the previusly entered infrmatin is displayed. The cllected data are stred nly n a user's phne, accrding t the team behind the app.
Ann Cavukian, a privacy expert wh runs the Privacy by Design Center f Excellence praises the app's creatrs fr these prtective measures. She cautins, hwever, that when peple chse t share their persnal infrmatin with the app, they shuld knw that “there may be unintended cnsequences dwn the rad with that infrmatin being used in anther cntext that might cme back t bite yu. ”
28. Scial Recall is used t _____.
A. take phtsB. identify pepleC. rganize eventsD. make friends
29. Paragraph 3 is mainly abut ____.
A. hw the app wrksB. hw the app was created
C. what makes the app ppularD. what peple can d with the app
30. Scial Recall helps peple with prspagnsia by
A. giving names t the phts kept in their smartphnes
B. cllecting infrmatin previusly entered in the phne
C. prviding the infrmatin fa persn when they first meet
D. shwing the persn's infrmatin when it spts a stred face
31. What can we infer abut Scial Recall accrding t Ann Cavukian?
A. It may put peple's privacy under threat.
B. It has caused unintended cnsequences.
C. It can prevent sme cmmunicatin disrders.
D. It is praised by all users fr its prtective measures.

Nstalgia（怀旧） has becme increasingly cmmn in ur current climate f unexpected, fast-paced change. Mre and mre peple are turning back with lnging fr what feels like simpler, sweeter times. They cllect cassette tapes, manual typewriters even decades-ld vide games.
Is it a mistake t get t bsessed with the past? Sme psychlgists warn that t much devtin t the s-called gd ld days is an escape frm reality; it can indicate lneliness r that a persn is having a difficult time cping in the present. Psychlgist Stephanie Cntz argues that nstalgia distracts us frm addressing the prblems f mdern life and cntributes t anxiety, depressin, insmnia etc.
But new studies suggest that a mdest dse f nstalgia is nt nly harmless, but actually beneficial. They suggest it helps strengthen ur sense f identity and makes us feel mre ptimistic and inspired. It is als a tl fr self-discvery and memries are a psychlgical immune respnse that is triggered when yu want t take a break frm negativity. Interestingly, thse happy memries can be particularly beneficial bth t kids in their teens and t sciety's elders. Recalling ur childhd reminds us f “the times when we were accented and lved uncnditinally, ” says Krystine Batch, a psychlgist. “That is such a pwerfully cmfrting phenmenn, knwing that there was a time in life when we didn't have t earn ur lve. ” Nstalgia can transfrm even the mst rdinary past int legends which warms the heart and the bdy. Let's nt frget that nstalgia has been a surce f inspiratin t innumerable American writers. Mark Twain recalled his byhd, writing, “after all these years, I can picture that ld time t myself nw, just as it was then: The white twn drwsing in the sunshine f a summer's mrning. ”
S g ahead, daydream a little abut yur best childhd friend, yur first car, a lng-gne family pet. As Dr. Sedikidessays, “Nstalgia is abslutely central t human experience. ” But at the same time, keep these wrds f wisdm frm the great inventr Charles Kettering in mind as well: “Yu can't have a better tmrrw if yu are thinking abut yesterday all the time. ”
32. What did sme psychlgists in paragraph 2 prbably agree?
A. Nstalgia can cause sme mental prblems.
B. Nstalgia makes us devted t the present life.
C. Nstalgia shws yu are trying t get rid f lneliness.
D. Nstalgia helps us cpe with the difficult time we are ging thrugh.
33. There are many benefits f nstalgia except ____.
A. It can enable us t knw urselves better.
B. It can bring us sme cmfrt when we recall.
C. We are likely t gain attentin if we recall the happy childhd.
D. We can smetimes break away frm negativity with happy memries.
34. What will be talked abut in the fllwing paragraph?
A. The reasns why we shuld avid nstalgia.
B. The great changes nstalgia will bring t yu.
C. The bad memries that always stick arund yu.
D. The bad influence f t much devtin t nstalgia.
35. What des the authr intend t tell us?

B. Peple actually benefit frm nstalgia.
C. Childhd memries influence present life.

Grwing up as kids we are tld t share ur tys and nt t be selfish. We als live in an age when discussing ur feelings is encuraged. But when des it all becme t much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a carpet as a dress, the questin is: when can sharing becme versharing n scial media?
“Oversharing” has becme assciated with scial media, but it isn't exclusive t this platfrm. Imagine yu head t a party and meet x k w smene. Within five minutes they have revealed private details abut their life. While sme f us may try t escape these peple, accrding t marriage advisr Carlyn Cle, this frm f versharing culd cme frm a strng desire t cnnect with smene. But hw des this translate t scial media?
Dr. Christpher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychlgy (网络心理学)，says the mre details peple disclse, the less sympathy we express when things g wrng. It seems that searching fr sympathy by versharing is generally cnsidered as negative rather than the cry fr help it culd really be.
Hwever, Dr. Hand's research als seems t suggest that the mre we pst n a platfrm, the mre scially attractive we becme—if the psts that we bang ut are psitive. Even back in 2015, Gwendlyn Seidman PhD said that we shuld avid cmplaining and being negative nline. We shuld als avid shwing ff, especially abut ur lve lives. It makes sense—if yur date is ging “that well", wuld yu really have time t share a pht with text?
S, hw can yu knw if yu are versharing? Well, why nt ask yur friends in real life. They wuld prbably be happy t tell yu if yur psts abut yur breakfast r yur cmplaints abut yur lack f mney really are t much.
8. What des the underlined wrd “exclusive" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Unique. B. Similar. C. Relevant. D. Fundamental.
9. Which f the fllwing may Dr. Hand agree with?
A. Sharing mre details nline can attract mre sympathy.
B. Oversharing negative experiences is equal t crying fr help.
C. Sharing negative psts can't help ne becme scially attractive.
D. Oversharing isn't likely t happen nline when things g wrng.
10. Accrding t the text, what shuld be avided fr nline sharing?
A. Reflecting n past bad manners.
B. Shwing a great many expensive gds.
C. Writing a recipe fr a balanced breakfast.
D. Recrding unfrgettable mments with friends.
11. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Develping gd relatinships by versharing
B. The “versharing” phenmenn n scial media
C. Sharing with friends in real life
D. Hw t avid versharing

When given the chice, abut 85% f peple say they wuld nt want t knw abut sme negative event far in the future. Yet recently millins arund the glbe have dwnladed FaceApp, which allws users t see hw they might age in real life.
Many had fun with jking that they lve the FaceApp ld filter. Beneath the humr is a serius subject: Hw d we learn t relate t ur future selves? It’s imprtant that we try t because it culd help strengthen the lng-term decisins that we make. Hwever, we ften fail t make sacrifices fr the grayer versins f urselves.
Mre than half f the respndents in a recent survey f 2,800 Americans said they rarely r never thught abut what their lives might be like 30 years frm nw. This isn’t surprising, since mst f us are firmly rted in the present and thinking abut the distant future can seem like a distant pririty ( 优 先 ). My nging research might als ffer an explanatin: We tend t think abut ur future selves as if they are smene different frm wh we are tday. In an effrt t narrw these empathy ( 共 情 ) gaps, my research wrkmates and I have tried t humanize(使人性化) peple’s future selves in the same way thers have tried t humanize charity receivers. Given that a phtgraph f ne hungry child can spark emtinal reactins, and cause viewers t dnate, we have presented participants with vivid images f their distant selves.
That seems helpful. In a recently cmpleted prject in Mexic, we fund that expsure t future-self images led mre peple t cntribute t their pensins (养老金). Despite this research, I’m skeptical that the app users will suddenly increase their pensin cntributins and care abut their health. The silly app isn’t paired with an immediate pprtunity t change any f these things.
The lessn frm FaceApp shuldn’t be that we need t marry hi-tech visuals with savings fr retirement. The lessn, then, lakes the frm f a questin: What mre can be dne t urge us t think abut, care fr wh we will ne day becme?
12. What can we learn abut FaceApp?
A. It prvides future-self images. B. It is the mst dwnladed app.
C. It helps peple make decisins. D. It makes peple age in real life.
13. Why d mst respndents rarely think f their future life?
A. They have knwn future life frm FaceApp.
B. They fail t make sacrifices fr their future.
C. They attach greater imprtance t the present.
D. They cnsider future selves the same as tday’s.
14. What des the underlined wrd “that” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. Cmpleting a prject in Mexic. B. Offering aging images f participants.
C. Raising cntributins amng viewers. D. Giving a phtgraph f a hungry child.
15. What’s the authr’s attitude t FaceApp?
A. Psitive. B. Dubtful. C. Ambiguus. D. Unfavrable.

Mst yung architects—particularly thse in big cities—can nly dream abut wrking in a building f their wn. And making that dream cme true ften means finding a building n ne else seems t want, which is exactly what happened t David Ycum and his partner, Brian Bell. Their building is a frmer autmbile electrical-parts firm in Atlanta. Frm the utside, it lks t ld, even smething hrrible, but pen the dr and yu are in a wide, pen curtyard, lined n three sides with rusting (生锈的) walls.
In 2000, Ycum and Bell fund this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandned years earlier and the rf f the main building had fallen dwn. But the price was right, s Ycum bught it. He spent eight mnths f his ff-hurs n demlitin (拆除), pulling rubbish ut thrugh the rf, because it was t dangerus t g inside the building. The demlitin was hard wrk, but it gave him time t think abut what he wanted t d, and “t treasure what was there—the walls, the rust, the light,” Ycum said. “Every seasn, mre paint falls ff the walls and mre rust develps. It’s like an art installatin (装置) in there—a slw-mtin shw.”
Since the back building had been cnstructed withut windws, an all-glass frnt was added t the building t give it a view f the curtyard, and skylights were installed in the rf. The back f the building is a wrking area and a living rm fr Ycum and his wife. A srt f buffer (缓冲) zne between the frnt and the back cntains a bathrm, a kitchen and a mechanical rm, and the walls that separate these znes have penings that allw views thrugh t the frnt f the studi and the curtyard beynd.
Ycum and Bell, wh have just cmpleted an art gallery fr the city, feel that the experience frm the decratin f their building, fcusing n the inside rather than the utside, has influenced their wrk. It has als given these architects a chance t shw hw they can make mre ut f less.
19. Accrding t the passage, it is ________ fr mst yung architects in big cities t wrk in a building f their wn.
A. easy B. unnecessary C. unrealistic D. cmmn
20. Ycum bught the ld building because ________.
A. it was a bargain t him B. it was still in gd cnditin
C. it was lcated in the city center D. it lked attractive frm the utside
21. Wrking n the ld building, Ycum and Bell ________.
A. remved the skylights frm the bathrm
B. pulled rubbish ut thrugh the rf
C. presented a slw-mtin shw in an art gallery
D. built a kitchen at the back f the ld building
22. It can be inferred frm the passage that Ycum and Bell ________.
A. gt inspiratin frm decrating their ld building
B. turned mre ld buildings int art galleries
C. paid mre attentin t the utside f the art gallery
D. benefited a lt frm pulling dwn the rf

Daniel Andersn, a famus psychlgist, believes it’s imprtant t distinguish televisin’s influences n children frm thse f the family. We tend t blame TV, he says, fr prblems it desn’t really cause, verlking ur wn rles in shaping children’s minds.
One traditinal belief abut televisin is that it reduces a child’s ability t think and t understand the wrld. While watching TV, children d nt merely absrb wrds and images. Instead, they learn bth explicit (明确的) and hidden meanings frm what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychlgy f characters in TV shws. Furthermre, as many teachers agree, children understand far mre when parents watch TV with them, explaining new wrds and ideas. Yet, mst parents use an educatinal prgram as a chance t park their kids in frnt f the set and d smething in anther rm.
Anther argument against televisin is that it replaces reading as a frm f entertainment. But accrding t Andersn, the amunt f time spent watching televisin is nt related t reading ability. TV desn’t take the place f reading fr mst children; it takes the place f similar srts f recreatin, such as listening t the radi and playing sprts. Things like parents’ educatinal backgrund have a strnger influence n a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by hw much a parent reads.” Andersn says.
Traditinal wisdm als has it that heavy televisin-watching lwers IQ scres and affects schl perfrmance. But here, t, Andersn ntes that n studies have prved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the ther way arund. “If yu’re a smart kid, yu’ll watch less TV when yu’re lder,” Andersn says. Yet, peple f lwer IQ tend t be lifelng televisin viewers.
Fr years researchers have attempted t shw that televisin is dangerus t children. Hwever, by shwing that televisin prmtes nne f the dangerus effects as cnventinally believed, Andersn suggests that televisin cannt be cndemned withut cnsidering ther influences.

While parents, particularly mthers, have always been attached t their infants, scietal cnditins frequently made this attachment difficult t maintain. Firstly the high infant death rate in the premdern times meant that such attachments ften ended in hpelessness. Perhaps t prevent the sadness that infant death caused, a number f scietal practices develped which wrked against early attachment f mther and child.
One f these premdern attachment-discuraging practices was t leave infants unnamed until they had survived int the secnd year. Anther practice that discuraged maternal (母亲的) attachment was tightly wrapping infants. Wrapping effectively prevented the clse physical interactins like strking (抚摸) and kissing that are s much a part f mdern mthers’ and fathers’ affectin fr their infants.
A third practice which had the same distancing effect was wet nursing. Breast-feeding was nt ppular amng the well-t-d in the early mdern times; infants were ften fed by wet nurses hired fr the purpse. In sme places, such as nineteenth-century France, city infants were sent t wet nurses in the cuntry. Often a wet nurse wuld feed her wn child first, leaving little fr the city infant— wh, in many cases, died. In Ruen, the death rate fr children sent t a wet nurse was 35 percent.
27. Babies were unnamed until they were tw s that ________.
A. an ld scial custm culd be kept up B. maternal attachment culd be maintained
C. they culd have better chances t survive D. their parents wuld nt be t sad if they died

30. Which is the best title fr the passage?

During the last twenty years there has been increasing cncern with the quality f the envirnment. Alng with air and water pllutants, nise pllutin has been recgnized as a serius pllutant. As nise levels have risen, the effects f nise have becme mre bvius.
Nise is defined as “unwanted sund”. Causes f nise pllutin include traffic, aircraft, rck bands, barking dgs, televisin, garbage trucks, and nise frm neighbrs, vices, alarms, and bats. Studies shw that ver frty percent f Americans are disturbed at hme r lse sleep because f nise pllutin.
Nise has bad effects n peple and the envirnment. Nise causes hearing lss, interferes (妨碍) with human activities at hme and wrk, and is in varius ways dangerus t peple’s health and well being.
When we think, talk, listen t music, r sleep, we need quiet. Even lw levels f nise can be annying r frustrating. Sudden increases in vlume can make sunds annying. The quieter the backgrund is, the mre penetrating a nise can be.
Nise can als make instructins r warning unclear, resulting in accidents. Luder nise bursts can cause mre prblems. Cntinued stress can lead t high bld pressure, which is the majr cause f sme diseases.
Lng expsure t nise levels abve eight-five decibels (分贝) can damage inner cells and lead t hearing lss. Nise can result in the uncntrlled fear respnse and can cause adrenaline (肾上腺素) t be pumped int the bldstream, the heart rate t quicken, muscles t tense, breathing t increase, and the digestive system t slw dwn.
Lcal gvernment has the respnsibility t fight nise pllutin. Fr example, it can regulate the speed f trains thrugh their cmmunity. On the ther hand, a respnsible citizen will never make nise pllutin wherever he is.

Many f us live with a rmmate at sme stage. Smetimes, there can be prblems. Wh hasn’t had an argument abut whse turn it is t take ut the rubbish r wh shuld be the net clear up after dinner? Hwever, living with anther persn als cmes with many benefits.
Yu knw that there’s always smene else arund, which can help yu feel safer. There is always smene t talk t, s yu never feel lnely. Besides these bvius benefits, there are sme yu may nt ntice. Fr example, we’re actually mre likely t eat healthier fd when living with thers.
T examine the effect f living alne, Australian university researchers did much research and fund that peple living alne tended t eat less fresh fd, which can have a significant negative effect n lng-term health. Hwever, thse living with thers generally benefited frm a mre varied diet cmpared t thse living alne.
What culd explain these findings? The researchers believe the scial and cultural rles played by cking, fd preparatin and eating may be imprtant cnsideratins. Fr example, thse living with friends have smene else t g shpping with, and thus are likely t buy higher-quality fresh fd regularly.
Cking skills may be anther factr. If peple living alne find they d nt have the knwledge required t prepare a particular dish r ck a certain fd,they may fall back n ready-made, less healthy fd. Hwever, if they live with at least ne ther persn, they may be able t ask fr help.
In additin, peple living alne can eat whatever they want at any time f the day r night. Hwever, it’s helpful t have smene arund wh questins yur decisin t eat frzen pizza at 3 am. In ther wrds, rmmates can draw yur attentin t unhealthy rutines.
S, if yu nw live alne and find yurself fighting a lsing battle against pr eating habits, why nt cnsider sharing a hme with smene else? Yu culd encurage ne anther n t greater health and well-being.

It was winter but peple were everywhere in Lndn at the weekend. They were in T-shirts r sandals (凉鞋). Mnday was anther warm day, withut a clud in the sky, and in the late afternn the light tk n a magical, hney-clured clr. It brught t mind ne f thse summer evenings yu experienced in childhd, when yu’d be in the park all day and yur parents let yu stay ut until bedtime, and yu felt like yu were ding smething deliciusly naughty just by being there.
