He lifted weights every mrning at hme. He bught us all baseball glves and hats, and in the warm mnths, we spent hurs playing catch. Cme fall, ur backyard ftball games began with passing practice.
Once I gt t sixth grade and switched t private schl, ur entire student bdy was assigned t either the Red r the White team. Thrughut the year, we cmpeted against each ther in varius games and exercises fr pints. I eventually became president f The Cmmittee f Games, accelerating my cmpetitive fever. Hwever, in girls’ sprts games at my schl, I was n star. I als played n the field hckey team and the basketball team. Schl sprts did nt bleed int the weekends, as they d tday, but at hme, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply nrmal things we did. During break time, magazines were als quite ppular fr us teens. These regularly featured articles n physical exercise. Smehw, my cllege rmmate and I tk up the habit f cmpleting Ryal Canadian Air Frce (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that cntinued int my marriage, when we had n spare funds t use t jin a gym.
S, thugh it shcks sme f ur friends, that early fundatin evlved in adulthd int a sprts and fitness fcus, cnsidered essential even n vacatin. I still lve reading and the arts, t. As far as I’m cncerned, life is the richest with my feet in bth wrlds.

Sciety tells us we shuld scialize t the fullest, and that thse wh are surrunded by peple are the mst successful and the happiest. These days, we’re almst always cnnected, whether in persn r thrugh ur phne screens and nline scial netwrks. But there’s smething t be said fr slitude(独处), “Being alne desn’t necessarily mean being lnely.” In fact, spending time by yurself is an essential element f self-care.
Arund the glbe, different cultures have wide-ranging perspectives n what it means t spend time alne. If yu live r have spent time in the United States, yu’re prbably aware that Americans tend t reject slitude. Fr many yunger peple, weekends are packed with scial activities, ranging frm brunch with friends t dinner parties t game nights t drinking at bars and everything in between.
The United States isn’t the nly place where yu’ll find a heavy emphasis n scial time. Acrss the Atlantic, the United Kingdm is knwn fr being an extremely extrverted(外向型的) cuntry. A survey f Brits fund that mre than half had never dne and wuld be unwilling t d activities like ging t theme parks r seeing live music alne. Mst Brits spend almst twice as much f their leisure time scialising with thers as they d being alne.
The hme can be a place f rest, relaxatin and recharge — that is, if yu live by yurself r have the space t be alne in yur hme. The cuntry in which peple are least likely t live alne is India, at abut 4 percent f the ppulatin. China is als quite fnd f multiple-persn husehlds, with nly abut 10 percent f peple living by themselves. In mre cllectivist(集体主义的) cultures like these, many aspects f life are related t cmmunity. Thus, spending time alne isn’t as ingrained(根深蒂固的) as a scial cnventin in places like these, and the gd f the grup takes pririty ver the needs f ne persn.
28. What can we learn frm the first paragraph?
A. Peple tend t scialize mre nwadays.
B. Peple can benefit mre frm slitude.
C. Being alne enables peple t be carefree.
D. Being alne generally equals being lnely.
29. Which f the fllwing best describes yung Americans?
A. Optimistic and dutiful.B. Imaginative and wild.
C. Outging and sciable.D. Respnsible and energetic.
30. Why are mst Chinese peple mre likely t live tgether?
A. Because they lack sme lcal custms.
B. Because they share a specific culture.
C. Because they pssess enugh hme space.
D. Because they give pririty t their wn needs.
31. What’s the best title fr the passage?
A. The Perspectives n SlitudeB. The Essence f Self-care

This year, the wrld generated 54.6 millin tns f e-waste. Hwever, just 17.4 percent f it was frmally cllected and recycled. Since 2014, the amunt f e-waste recycled has grwn by 1.8 millin tns — a relatively small amunt, cnsidering that the amunt f e-waste generated increased by 9.2 millin tns in the same perid.
Glbal reserves f sme elements, such as platinum(铂) , are suppsed t be fully used up within 15 years if the recycled stcks dn’t increase. E-waste and EV batteries are currently recycled thrugh sme traditinal prcesses. Hwever, they invlve burning temperatures with a high energy demand and deep carbn ftprint, and pisnus chemicals which are harmful t the envirnment. Alternatives are therefre being sught.
A team f scientists frm the University f Cventry are extending ne such alternative. They have been using nn-pisnus bacteria t xidize(使氧化) and recver the precius metals — a prcess knwn as “bileaching”. If extended, bileaching facilities wuld mean that manufacturers f EV batteries and ther electrnic gds wuld be able t recver metals lcally, relying less n cstly exprts t recycling centers abrad.
“At present, a key limitatin fr e-waste recycling is the lack f certificatin detailing the types and amunts f metals cntained in electrnic gds. But with an efficient recycling prcess appearing, manufacturers have the mtivatin t use mre recycled material in their prducts, which will change the very design f electrnics gds. It’s abut clsing the lp f a prduct’s life cycle,” said the leader f the Bileaching Research Grup, Sebastien Farnaud.
Ultimately, bileaching technlgy is brn ut f the idea f creating a truly circular prcess fr the things that we cnsume. We need t shift frm a mindset and ecnmy where we see waste as an end prduct, t ne where there isn’t even a start r an end at all.
32. What d the statistics in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A. Peple pay little attentin t e-waste recycling.
B. The recycling rate f e-waste is cmparatively lw.
C. E-waste has caused serius envirnmental prblems.
D. The amunt f e-waste is sharply increasing every year.
33. What is the disadvantage f current ways f recycling e-waste?
A. They nly apply t certain e-waste.
B. They are nt envirnmentally friendly.
C. They generate metals with a cmplex prcess.
D. They cause a sharp rise in lcal temperatures.
34. What d we knw abut the bileaching technlgy?
A. It has been applied abrad.B. It releases n pisnus gas.
C. It recvers metals by micrbes.D. It prmtes the lcal exprt trade.
35. The text is mst prbably a part f _____________.
A. a news reprtB. a fictin nvelC. a health magazineD. a scientific jurnal

I lked at the flyers n the wall carefully this time — it was definitely the cat I had back at hme! Then the truth f the situatin hit me: I had stlen the little by’s cat! I tried t justify why I shuld keep the kitten by cnvincing myself that the wner deserved t lse him. Nw I saw that it was all a big misunderstanding. With a mixed feeling, I apprached the little by in the wheelchair. He lked up at me, puzzled. “I have yur kitten,” I tld him embarrassedly, “I’m srry. I just fund him and fed him. He’s at my huse.”
The little by began t cry with laughter. He held his arms ut and gave me a big hug. “Thank yu s much! I was just abut t put a new cllar n him when he ran ut f the dr. I culdn’t run after him because f my leg...” I then ran hme t get the kitten and reunited the wner and his pet finally. I nce thught fr sure the kitten’s wner didn’t deserve t keep the cat; yet in the end, he was the nly qualified ne. The by’s eyes twinkled with pleasure, and I was pleased beynd descriptin.
