Is fashion important to you?____1____From those who wear trendy ripped jeans and loose-fitting T-shirts to those who wear smart tailored suits and expensive designer outfits, each individual can have their own style.
____2____And what impact can this have on their self-expression?
Arguably, one factor that influences what people wear is the need to impress others. People who dress well and keep up with the latest styles seem to be more noticed than those who are not concerned about their appearance. ____3____In this way they assume an identity which makes them feel they impress. Yet, by copying general looks, people actually can’t show their individuality.
At the same time, fashion is perceived by some as a tool for success and one that represents wealth or respectable social position. For instance, people intentionally try to raise their status by wearing famous brands or expensive clothes which are admired by others.____4____They are just the means to promote a specific image of power and control. In this case, fashion does not express personal individuality but could perhaps be said to give a false impression of appearance for a specific purpose.
That being said, following fashion may not have anything to do with copying current trends but with using them as an inspiration to create outfits expressing individuality.____5____Adding glam here and there, rolling up a pair of trousers or even wearing two different shoes can be considered a form of self-expression demonstrating originality.

Wasted-time worry
The idea that time is our most precious resource can bring with it a sense of time-pressure. We are always told “Time is money and time is running out”, so we must manage it well.

We often encounter empty time, throwing us into boredom, panic or anxiety, or add to our wasted-time worry. ______20______ . For example, we can become more comfortable with empty moments rather than rushing to make the best of every second. We can allow us to pause and think.

· Practice, practice, practice! Musicians, practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. The same should go for learning. ____22____ In one study, students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test, they scored better than those who studied in the normal way.
· Test yourself. Before big tests, you may often cover up the notes, and then try to recall them. This practice can help nearly everyone.

· Learn from mistakes. A secret of science: Mistakes help understanding. If you don’t find out what the answer is, you’re wasting your time. Checking the answers can make your study time more efficient. Check to see if you are right. You can then focus on what you get wrong. ____24____
·____25____ Students know some good study skills, yet many of you don’t actually do these things. Often you fail to plan ahead. So do make plans. And try to stick to a routine, too.

When you’re upset about something, ask yourself “How is this situation funny?” Humor can even turn a negative into a positive.
Share stories from the past. Do you remember one time in high school that you and your best friend wore false hair and matching clothes around your neighborhood? Or, how about when your best friend sat on a painted bench by accident? ____28____
Take up something new. When you try something new — whether it’s to draw or learn to roller skate — your original attempts will likely be clumsy (笨拙的) and even ridiculous (荒谬的). ____29____ So taking up something new is likely to result in laughs.
____30____ We are heavily influenced by the people we are with, so by hanging out with funny people, we can add more laughter into our days. That positive and silly energy will immediately rub off on (感染) us and it can cause us to want to feel happier and sillier throughout our days.

Now, it’s quite easy for you to be aware how to deal with the tensions between you and your parents. _____31_____ However, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life.

Nearly five years ago, I booked a retreat (僻静处) to work on my book, Tracking Wonder. I knew I worked best with limited distraction, but when I finally was able to carve time away from the world to do this creative work, I found it very difficult to focus. ___36___ Now I know that we need to work on something counter-intuitive (违反直觉的): our ability to be bored.
___37___
Ⅰ. Reboot(重启) your mental health.
Just as our muscles need rest days between workouts to grow stronger, our minds need periods of idleness to process the world around us.
Innovators in times of crisis and adversity actually grant themselves space to be bored and daydream deliberately. This kind of daydreaming can lead to positive mental feelings of hope, renewal, and forward motion, but it requires boredom and space.
Ⅱ. ___38___
The capacity to be bored and the capacity to be creative go hand in hand. Want to increase your creativity? ___39___ Embrace those periods of boredom that are built into your commute, break time, or meals. Turn off the podcast, stop scrolling through the news feeds, and let your mind lie fallow (休耕的) so that the seeds of your next idea have space to grow.
Ⅲ. Reconnect with what matters to you.
These days, current events—and the resulting analysis, opinions, and Twitter hot takes—come at us so quickly that it’s difficult to process one issue before the next takes its place. ___40___ Rather than reaching for stimulation (刺激) by searching for the next event to be entertained or enraged (激怒) by, boredom gives you space to think through the information you’re gathering and begin to challenge ideas.

A European street today may smell like coffee, fresh-baked bread and cigarettes. ___41___? Historians and scientists across Europe have now gotten together with perfumers (香水制造者) and museums for a unique project called “Odeuropa”—to capture what Europe smelled like between the 16th and early 20th centuries.
To successfully finish this three-year-long project, the researchers need to find all the old scents of Europe-and even recreate some of this ancient smellscape. To do this, they will first build artificial intelligence that will be trained to scan historical texts, written in seven different languages, for any descriptions of smells. ___42___.
The “Encyclopedia (百科全书) of Smell Heritage” will include the meaning of certain scents and will trace the stories behind scents, places and olfactory (嗅觉的) practices. ___43___, enabling future generations to access and learn about the scented past.
___44___, such as doctors. In the past, herbs were often used by European doctors to heal the sick. They smell special and their scents should be included in the encyclopedia. But just as history is filled with interesting and pleasant smells, it’s also filled with stinky (非常难闻的) ones.
“I find it particularly interesting to make the audience know about a whole range of scents such as a stinky canal,” said Caro Verbeek, a scent historian and member of the Odeuropa team. “It will make us more aware of how we relate to smell today and how differently smells were appreciated in the past. With current technology, almost every scent can be produced. ___45___. People haven’t always talked or written about them.”
A．It expressed a longing for the countryside life
B．But what did it smell like hundreds of years ago

Having a vegetable garden offers many health benefits. Here are reasons why a home vegetable garden beats even the farmers’ market when it comes to your health and well-being.
___51___ Gardening is very physical. What makes gardening better than a gym workout is that it happens outdoors with fresh air and sunshine. Whether you are weeding in the down- ward dog position, or digging bags of soil, a garden delivers the full gym experience, from cardio right down to yoga.
Your garden provides you with a raw diet. Most homegrown crops taste better than store-bought, but no vegetable takes this to the next level like sweet peas. ___52___, but most gardeners find that even a few vines (藤) are worth the space. A handful of freshly-shelled, raw sweet peas bursting into your mouth on a summer morning have few rivals in the food kingdom.
___53___ The average consumer remains at the mercy of the produce buyer at the local market, but once the home gardener discovers the diversity of colors and tastes that can be homegrown, a nutrient-rich vegetable choice opens up. Heirloom (原种的) tomatoes range in color from deep purple and nearly black to golden yellow and pale white. Besides the color, there is another benefit. ___54___ .
Your garden allows you to give. ___55___, but nothing feels as great as when you share food. Imagine how it feels for others to receive fresh homegrown vegetables. A basket of heir- loom cherry tomatoes can disappear faster than a box of donuts deep fried in fat.
A．It’s nice to receive gifts
B．We know that it feels good to give
C．Your garden lets you eat the rainbow
D．The vegetable garden makes you a chef
E．Growing vegetables helps you take exercise
F．Experts may not recommend sweet peas for small gardens

Congratulations! You’ve gotten to college, and now you never have to read another book in your life! ____56____ Instead of a book being something you have to read, think about college literature classes as your opportunity to get to read. Here are some ways to get the most out of the literature class.
Take a lecture course. ____57____ Even if you haven’t taken other literature courses, specialized lectures can be a great place to start. If you’re considering a literature lecture, consider one on a single author, or a single genre, or a single time period. Even if you don’t come in with a lot of background knowledge, that’s okay, because the topic is narrow enough so that you can launch right into the material without mastering everything under the sun first.
____58____ Don’t just rely on your friends for this; instead, you should turn to people who are juniors and seniors in departments with a lot of literature courses and ask them which professors they’ve had very positive experiences with.
Take a literature class with a book on the syllabus that you’ve read before but hated. You know you should like The Sound and the Fury, which you read in junior year of high school. But somehow, you just couldn’t get into it then. Or you knew that Walt Whitman is supposed to be great, but you’ve never clicked with “I Hear America Singing.” This is your opportunity to re-discover the books and authors that you’ve completely written off. ____59____
In short, don’t be afraid to take a college literature class. ____60____ Instead, give yourself a chance to explore!
A．All the excuses are just getting in the way.
B．But don’t be afraid to take a specialized lecture.
C．You might find something in them that you love after all.
D．But that’s exactly the opposite of what books can do for you in college.
E．Don’t be frightened by the fact that you have nowhere to hide — embrace it!
F．Take a small seminar, even if you’ve never taken a college literature course before.
G．Ask people who are majors in humanities departments to recommend professors to you.

Learning in a classroom with teachers, friends and textbooks is of course one way to learn, but it is not the only way. ____61____ Whether you wander around the streets of Paris or spend a sunny afternoon on the Caribbean beaches, travelling will never fail you as a teacher.
____62____ If you are thinking of some personal development courses, you don’t need to do so. Travelling will change that as things like talking to complete strangers or asking them a favor are not an option but a necessity during your travels. Travel your way to a wonderful place somewhere and you’ll grow much better than through such courses.
Travelling will teach you how to control your fate if you have spent your life always being reactive (被动反应的). ____63____ This is even more the case when you travel on your own. There’s no choice but to make decisions and take initiatives completely by yourself as you don’t have anyone to tell you what to do.
As you travel, you can better understand how the cultures around the world vary and where the common ground lies. Differences exist in cuisines, manners and lifestyles across different cultures. But in spite of the differences, you can find so many commonalities like a shared love for art and nature that bind all the different cultures together. ____64____
Perhaps the most important aspect of the education that comes with traveling is what you know about yourself. ____65____ Without travelling, you may even be completely unaware of your real character. If you haven’t really decided what you are going to do or what you want to be in the future, travelling extensively and preferably is one of the best ways to help you make a decision.
A．Travelling forces one to be independent.
B．Independence is a fundamental goal of education.
C．In fact, travelling is one of the best ways to learn things.
D．You may realize what you really enjoy and who you really are.

G．Travelling can be challenging if you are unfamiliar with the native language.

What does the Most Common Hugs Mean?
You’re meeting an old friend for lunch when they enthusiastically greet you with a long, tight hug. As the seconds go by, you’re left wondering if this is a friendly hug, or something else. The duration, body placement, and pressure during a hug can actually tell you if someone is feeling romantic or if they only view you as a friend. ____66____ In this article, we’ll decode what the most common hugs mean and tell you how to copy them so that you can hug like you mean it.
The Classic Hug
____67____ You typically give and receive this hug when you say goodbye to someone, or are greeting them after a long time. The classic hug is one of the most common hugs, where you and the hugger wrap your arms around each other with your chests touching and heads side by side. Make it a great hug by embracing them tightly and holding the hug for several seconds.
The Bear Hug
The bear hug is a long, tight hug that signals intimacy (亲密). ____68____ This hug is usually platonic, but means that you are close with the hugger and are sharing a happy moment together. Be careful not to squeeze too tightly during this hug.
____69____
A hug with multiple people signifies warmth and togetherness. You might initiate a group hug with close friends or family to show your happiness during a celebration, or strengthen your bonds during a farewell. Simply gather up your friends and form a tight ball, with your arms around everyone.
The Quick Hug
A short hug is a friendly, social greeting. This is a common hug that doesn’t mean much beyond a polite acknowledgement. Your upper bodies may touch, but your lower does not. You might receive this hug from an old friend, a colleague, or family member. If you receive this hug from someone you’re interested in, they might just be in a hurry to get somewhere. ____70____ Pay attention to how the hug feels if you’re trying to figure out if the hug is friendly or romantic.

____72____. It’s simple to know what we don’t want. Often it’s harder to pinpoint what exactly would make us happy and what exactly we’re striving for. However, to get anything done, we have to start thinking with positive goals, not negative fears. Instead of “I don’t want to be poor,” a better goal is “I’d like to save X amount of money each month.” See how the latter is much, much more doable? And less scary!
Track your progress. Whether you’re losing weight, working overtime, or studying for college, track what you’re doing! This will give you drive and show you the positive outcomes of your behavior. ____73____. Make sure to track your behaviors and their results. Not only do you need the results to look at and go, “Gee! I am awesome! Look at what I did!” you’ll need the results to see what does and does not work for you.

Or can they? A new BBC documentary series, The Green Planet, gives us a new look at plants. Released on January 10 on Bilibili, it uncovers the wonderful and dramatic ways that plants behave.
Plants compete against each other to live. Each species has its own ways of defense. In rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” in the series as only two percent of the sunlight filters (透过) through it. ____77____. But they are caught up in a vine (藤蔓) that tries to take a ride. Finally, they are both overtaken by a fast-growing balsa tree. As the balsa’s leaves are smooth, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees make poisonous sap (毒汁) to protect themselves.
____78____. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. ____79____.
The series not only lets us wonder at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “____80____.

Can’t Sleep at Night?

The quality of your sleep can also affect your health long-term. Why are you having a hard time catching the sleep you need? ____86____

【导语】本文是议论文。文章讨论了有关时尚的话题。作者认为时尚可以作为一种交流的方式，一种向你周围的人传达你的自我形象的方式。
1．上文“Is fashion important to you?”(时尚对你重要吗？)提出了一个关于时尚的问题，下文“From those who wear trendy ripped jeans and loose-fitting T-shirts to those who wear smart tailored suits and expensive designer outfits, each individual can have their own style.(从穿时髦的破洞牛仔裤和宽松的T恤，到穿时髦的定制西装和昂贵的设计师套装，每个人都有自己的风格。)”讲述了每个人有每个人的风格和时尚，因此推断空处回答上文并引出下文，故C项“对大多数人来说，至少在某种程度上是这样的。”符合语境，回答上文提出的问题，接下来进一步解释这个回答。故选C。
2．下文“And what impact can this have on their self-expression?(这对他们的自我表达有什么影响？)”再次提出问题，时尚对表达我们自己有什么影响呢，因此推断空处也是提出有关遵循时尚的问题。因为下文Arguably, one factor that influences what people wear is the need to impress others.（可以说，影响人们穿着的一个因素是需要给别人留下深刻印象。）”factor汉语意思是“原因，因素”，说明上文中的问题需要提问“为什么”，结合选项，B符合语境，下文对两个问题做出了具体的解释。故选B。
3．上文“Arguably, one factor that influences what people wear is the need to impress others. People who dress well and keep up with the latest styles seem to be more noticed than those who are not concerned about their appearance.(可以说，影响人们着装的一个因素是为了给别人留下深刻印象。穿着得体并紧跟最新时尚的人似乎比那些不注重外表的人更受关注。)”讲述穿着得体时尚会给人留下更深刻的印象，更受关注，下文“In this way they assume an identity which makes them feel they impress. Yet, by copying general looks, people actually can’t show their individuality.(通过这种方式，他们假设了一种身份，让他们觉得自己给人留下了深刻的印象。然而，通过模仿一般的外表，人们实际上无法展示自己的个性。)”讲述人们用这种方式想要给人留下深刻印象。因此空处应是说明一种方式，且与上文一致，故D项“For this reason, people wear fashionable clothing.(因此，人们穿时髦的衣服。)”符合语境，与上文是因果关系，下文的this way指代的“wear fashionable clothing”。故选D。
4．上文“At the same time, fashion is perceived by some as a tool for success and one that represents wealth or respectable social position. For instance, people intentionally try to raise their status by wearing famous brands or expensive clothes which are admired by others.(与此同时，时尚被一些人视为成功的工具，代表着财富或受人尊敬的社会地位。例如，人们故意通过穿名牌或昂贵的衣服来提高自己的地位。)”通过举例说明人们通过穿时尚的，昂贵的名牌来提高自己的地位，E项中的these clothes呼应上文的famous brands or expensive clothes，故E项“这些衣服实际上并不是对穿着者的个人陈述。”符合语境，承接上文，与下文“They are just the means to promote a specific image of power and control. (它们只是宣传权力和控制的特定形象的手段。)”是顺承关系。解释说明上文内容。故选E。
5．上文“That being said, following fashion may not have anything to do with copying current trends but with using them as an inspiration to create outfits expressing individuality.(话虽如此，追随时尚可能与复制当前的趋势无关，而是将其作为一种灵感来设计表达个性的服装。)”讲述有的人追随时尚与当前的形势无关，只是一种表达个性的灵感设计，G项“这方面的一个例子是改造时尚的服装，做出小的个性化的改变。”符合语境，举例说明有些人只是进行个性化的改变，从而引出下文“Adding glam here and there， rolling up a pair of trousers or even wearing two different shoes can be considered a form of self-expression demonstrating originality.(在这里或那里增加魅力，卷起一条裤子，甚至穿两只不同的鞋子都可以被认为是一种展示创意的自我表达形式。)”举例说明这种个性化的时尚表现。故选G。

37．分析文章和段落结构可知，设空句应是统领下文三点内容。后文的内容“Reboot your mental health.(重启你的心理健康。)”，“Reconnect with what matters to you.(重新联系对你来说重要的东西。)”涉及的是感到无聊或厌烦能给人带来的好处。选项F“Learning to let yourself be bored can have three surprising benefits.(学会让自己感到无聊有三个惊人的好处。)”概括归纳了后文内容，符合分析。故选F项。

67．根据下文“You typically give and receive this hug when you say goodbye to someone, or are greeting them after a long time.

Make it a great hug by embracing them tightly and holding the hug for several seconds.(这种拥抱通常是在你和某人说再见时，或者在很长一段时间后问候他们时给予和接受的。经典的拥抱是最常见的拥抱之一，你和拥抱者互相搂住对方的手臂，胸部接触，头并排。紧紧地拥抱他们，并保持几秒钟，让这个拥抱成为一个很棒的拥抱)”中“say goodbye to someone, or are greeting them after a long time”和“one of the most common hugs”可推知，Classic Hug是朋友或家人之间的亲密拥抱，所以C项“This is a warm, intimate hug between friends and family.(这是朋友和家人之间温暖、亲密的拥抱)”符合题意。故选C项。
68．根据下文“This hug is usually platonic, but means that you are close with the hugger and are sharing a happy moment together.

69．设空句是小标题，根据下文“A hug with multiple people signifies warmth and togetherness. You might initiate a group hug with close friends or family to show your happiness during a celebration, or strengthen your bonds during a farewell. Simply gather up your friends and form a tight ball, with your arms around everyone.(与多人拥抱意味着温暖和团聚。在庆祝活动中，你可能会主动与亲密的朋友或家人拥抱，以表达你的快乐，或者在告别时加强你们的联系。只要把你的朋友们聚集起来，搂着每个人，组成一个紧密的球)”可知本段介绍的是很多人一起的拥抱方式，故选A项“The Group Hug”。故选A项。
70．上文“A short hug is a friendly, social greeting. This is a common hug that doesn’t mean much beyond a polite acknowledgement. Your upper bodies may touch, but your lower does not. You might receive this hug from an old friend, a colleague, or family member. If you receive this hug from someone you’re interested in, they might just be in a hurry to get somewhere.(一个简短的拥抱是一种友好的社交问候。这是一个很普通的拥抱，除了礼貌的表示感谢外，没有其他意义。你的上半身可能会接触，但下半身不会。你可能会从老朋友、同事或家人那里得到这个拥抱。如果你从你感兴趣的人那里得到这个拥抱，他们可能只是赶着去某个地方)”提出如果自己感兴趣的人只给了一个Quick Hug，说明他们只是礼貌的表示感谢，没有其他意义，但G项“However, if they avoid eye contact and give a polite smile, they might see you as a friend.(然而，如果他们避免眼神接触，并礼貌地微笑，他们可能会把你当成朋友)”给出另一种可能，如果他们躲避眼神接触，并礼貌地微笑，说明他们的拥抱中有其它的含义，进而引出下文“Pay attention to how the hug feels”，提醒要用心去感受，才能准确理解其中的含义，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。

72．根据后文“It’s simple to know what we don’t want. Often it’s harder to pinpoint what exactly would make us happy and what exactly we’re striving for. However, to get anything done, we have to start thinking with positive goals, not negative fears. Instead of “I don’t want to be poor,” a better goal is “I’d like to save X amount of money each month.” See how the latter is much, much more doable? And less scary!(知道我们不想要什么很简单。通常很难确定到底什么会让我们快乐，我们到底在为什么而奋斗。然而，为了完成任何事情，我们必须开始以积极的目标来思考，而不是消极的恐惧。而不是“我不想变穷”，一个更好的目标是“我想每个月存X笔钱”。看到后一种方法更可行了吗？而且不那么可怕！)”可知，本段的主旨是说明专注于积极的目标。故B选项“专注于积极的目标”符合语境，故选B。

Look at what I did!” you’ll need the results to see what does and does not work for you.(一定要跟踪你的行为和结果。你不仅需要看到结果，然后说：“哇！我很棒！看看我做了什么！”你需要结果来看看什么对你有用，什么对你没用)”可知，本段的主旨是记录进步，看到你行为的积极结果，故F选项“如果你取得了进步，你就没有什么好羞愧的”符合语境，故选F。
74．根据上文“Keep good company.(交个好朋友)”以及后文“We have that friend that desperately wants us to eat another piece of cheesecake. That person is not good company.

Tell your friends and family what you’re trying to stay motivated with.(我们有一个朋友拼命地想让我们再吃一块芝士蛋糕。那个人不是好伙伴。在通往成功的道路上，每个人都需要一路的拉拉队！告诉你的朋友和家人你在努力保持动力)”可知，后文提到了朋友拖后腿，阻止完成目标的情况。故E选项“不幸的是，人们也会让人失去动力”符合语境，故选E。
75．根据上文“Use rewards. This is a point to be considered carefully. The last thing you want to do is to associate everything with a Snickers bar. However, rewards can be powerful when used sparingly and efficiently.(使用奖励。这一点需要仔细考虑。你最不想做的就是把所有东西都和士力架联系起来。然而，如果适当而有效地使用奖励，它将具有强大的威力)”可知，上文提到了奖励具有强大的威力，本句为本段最后一句，应说明其威力是什么：它会给你目标。故C选项“它会给你目标”符合语境，故选C。
