Virtual reality isn't just for video games any more.The technology is changing industries
that many people had never thought it would,such as dairy farming.
Russian dairy farmers gave cows VR glasses with hopes that they would be happier and make better milk. A farm just outside of Moscow is testing VR glasses for its cows,it says,in an effort to increase the quantity
and quality of the milk produced.
That's according to a news report published Monday from the Ministry of Agriculture of the Moscow region. It came accompanied by photos of a cow trying out its fancy new glasses. The ministry explains it like this: Studies have shown that cows' environmental conditions can impact the milk produced,specifically improving its quality or increasing its quantity.So,a team of developers,with the help of veterinarians and consultants for dairy production,made some oversized VR glasses for cows,the news release says.And then Cow VR glasses.And what were these cows experiencing with their new VR glasses? A wild,expansive field
beneath the summer sun.
So far,it's unclear if the glasses have helped milk production—further study will be needed for that.But
a first test did show a decrease in anxiety and an increase in the emotional mood of the cows.
Russian dairy farmers aren't the only ones going the extra mile to keep their cows happy and improve product,though. Some Wagyu farmers set mood lighting,among other tricks,to keep their cows calm and
producing the best beef possible. Others play them music,which one Missouri farmer says leads to better milk.
28.Why did the farmers give cows VR glasses? ( )
A. To test the cows'eyesight. B. To cure the cows' diseases.
C. To get more and better milk. D. To prevent the cows going around.



29. What did the cows see wearing the VR glasses? ( ) A. More other cows. B. Video games.
C. Exciting movies. D. An attractive field in the sun.
30. What effect of the VR glasses was proved? ( )

A. Reduced anxiety
B. Improved eyesight.
C. Increased milk production.
D. Much better beef.
31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? ( ) A.Nature. B.Entertainment. C.Education. D.Science.

Right tuns on red lights are legal in much of North America.Having been nearly knocked down a few times by cars turning right,I have never understood why they are allowed. Really,the driver has to look straight and right to see if there are pedestrians coming and left to see if cars are coming and you can't safely
do both at the same time.
Now Eben Weiss takes up the case against right turns on red in his Outside Magazine soapbox,after a
shocking case in Washington where a policeman tuned right into a cyclist and then charged the cyclist.
Actually,the right-hand turn scenario is particularly difficult because the pedestrian has a green light telling them it's OK to cross. A child might not understand the complexity of needing to double check anyways,a senior with reduced sight,hearing and movement might not notice the turning vehicle,and a blind person relying on the audible pedestrian signal has no way of knowing a vehicle is about to cross their path. Since 2006,there have been 41 fatalities of pedestrians involving drivers turning right.Nearly a third of
victims were 60 years old or older.
Right turns on red became common after the oil crisis as a way to save fuel for people who drive by reducing safety for people who walk or bike.However,right turns on red are bad for people on bikes,and bad
for people on cars.
Of course,now right tuns on red are not about saving fuel; they are about the convenience of drivers and Rule One is that Nothing Shall Slow Down Drivers.But in coming years there will be more people on bikes and e-bikes,and a lot more older people walking,and more deaths and injuries. It really is time to slop right turns
on reds everywhere.
32. What happened to the policeman mentioned in the text? ( )

A. He ran a red lighl.
B. He broke the traffic rule.
C. He knocked into a cyclist.
D. He was knocked down
33. What does the underlined word“scenario”in Paragraph 3 probably mean? ( ) A.Light. B.Situation. C.Convenience. D.Gesture.
34. Why is turning right on red lights allowed? ( )

A. To save drivers'fuel.
B. For pedestrians² safety.
C. To let traffic slow down.
D. For cyclists' convenience.


35. Which can be the best title for the text? ( ) A.Turning Right on Red Is Unnecessary B.It Is Hard to Tell When to Turn Right
C.Drivers Often Make Ilegal Right Turns D.Right Tuns on Red Should Be Forbidden

You Need A“Stop Doing”List
If coronavirus has taught me anything,it's that I was doing too much before it hit.In the past,my family
life was overbooked. 36
But during the days I stayed at home,I’ve been able to think carefully about what gets returned to my schedule—and what does not. 37 I've simply stopped doing many things that I realized weren't adding real or lasting value to my life.
Minimalism expert Joshua Becker described this as a“stop doing”list. The beauty of a“stop doing”list is that it creates time for more valuable things.Unlike a“to do”list,“stop doing”list is a weeding-out
process. 38
My“stop doing”list contains things like staying up past bedtime to finish watching movies,drinking coffee in the afternoons,agreeing to social get-together on weeknights,checking my phone every half-hour,
and not signing the kids up for after-school sports.
39 The number of books I've read has skyrocketed. I’m performing better at the gym than ever before.I'm waking up more easily and well-rested than I used to. I look forward to weekend social gatherings.The kids are calmer and more relaxed.
There's a time and place for“to do”lists.But they should be balanced with“stop doing”lists.Think consciously about the less desirable things. 40 Let the two lists balance each other. In this way,you
can feel balanced on a daily basis.
And keep in mind these words“The difference between successful people and really successful people is
that really successful people say no to almost everything.”
A.That's because they are consuming your time.
B. Turn to others when you are in trouble.
C. Because of these changes,I have more free time.
D. The removal of one habit can lead to the start of a new one.
E. The list,as I'm sure you can imagine,is shorter than before.
F. Since I stopped doing these,I've noticed some real improvements.
C. And it was packed with extracurricular activities and random appointments.
