Is It Dangerus fr Micr plastics t Be in the Bdy?
A new study suggests invasive medical prcedures may be an verlked rute f micr plastics expsure, raising cncerns abut the ptential health risks f plastic ____1____ (get) in the bdy.
Based n heart tissue samples cllected frm 15 peple wh underwent heart peratins, scientists discvered tens t thusands f individual micrplastic pieces in mst tissue samples analyzed—althugh the amunts and materials ____2____(vary) between participants. Accrding t the analysis, a fractin f the plastic pieces identified had a diameter t large t likely enter the bdy thrugh inhalatin(吸入) r ingestin(食入), which indicated that the heart peratin ____3____(it) may “permit direct access f micr plastics t the bldstream and tissues.” The researchers cited previus scientific investigatin shwing that micr plastics have been detected in the air in perating rms and culd directly enter a patient rgans are expsed t the air during surgery. The types f plastics____4____(detect) might als ffer evidence that micr plastics culd be intrduced during surgery.
“Previus studies have shwn that micr plastics have been fund in a number f human tissue samples—bld, lungs, breast milk, feces—which ____5____(believe) t cme frm fd, water supplies, r by inhalatin,” says Dr. O'Tle, an assciate prfessr f medicine at the University f Luisville Schl f Medicine in Kentucky. “The imprtance f this study seems t be that rutine medical prcedures may intrduce them as well.”
____6____micr plastics get int the bdy, sme scientific evidence has highlighted ptential health hazards. An analysis lking at 17 previus reprts____7____(invlve) the impact f micr plastics n human cells, determined that ingesting micr plastics may cntribute t cell death, allergic respnse, and damage t cell walls.
“Chrnic expsure may als lead t health prblems assciated with inflammatin(炎症), such as diabetes r liver disease,” says O’Tle. “The danger t ne’s health may depend n____8____lng these particles have been in the heart. If just intrduced during the prcedure, micr plastics are prbably nt____9____immediate cncern, but they may cause lng-term prblems if nt cleared.”
While the health implicatins are still unknwn and limiting expsure in ur mdem sciety maybe difficult, aviding plastic packaging and plastic prducts when pssible might reduce sme risk.

(A)
My wife and I usually dn't keep huseplants. Anything in pts gets either ver watered r underwatered. After my diagnsis with gliblastma—a terminal brain cancer with a prgnsis f little mre than a year t live—I lved the idea f having smething green and alive arund us. When my friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamb plant in a deep-green pttery bwl, we decided t place the plant in the living rm windw acrss frm the cuch where I spent much f each day.
I tld my wife I wanted t care fr the plant myself. When it didn't immediately tum yellw r brwn r lse all its leaves, I was pleasantly surprised. Tending the plant gave me a sense f accmplishment at a time when I smetimes felt useless. Gliblastma limited my ability t walk, and the treatment left me fatigued, making it hard fr me t accmplish everyday tasks.
As a physician, I was used t being the ne wh prvided care, nt the ne wh received t Since my diagnsis in August 2018, far t ften, I had t rely n help frm ther peple. The enrmus change left me feeling adrift. Watering the plant, as small an act as it was, cnnected me t a cre part f my ld identity and taught me I culd still be a caregiver. Plants and peple culd still depend n me. Sn, it had nearly dubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush. Bth the tree and I were thriving.
Then, mysteriusly, it began t shw signs f stress. I increased my plant watering, then decreased it. I fed it cmmercial plant fd. N matter what I did, the leaves kept brwning and drpping t the flr. “I can't even care fr a simple plant!” I yelled. “I'm failing!”
My wife reminded me that we'd seen huseplants die befre. She asked me why I was getting s wrked up abut this particular ne. I culdn't shake the feeling that the plant had becme a symbl f my wn vulnerable health. Identifying with the green and grwing plant had ffered me slace. Its shriveling leaves, I wrried, might signal the recurrence f my brain tumr.
I realized I had wrngly cnnected my careful nurturing f the plant-smething ver which I had at least sme cntrl—with my wn survival-smething ver which I had n cntrl. When my tumr inevitably returned, it wuld nt be because f any failure n my part—nt because I didn't atmize essential ils in my f ice, nt because I ate sugar ccasinally and certainly nt because I failed t keep this plant alive.
As my anxiety lessened, I began t examine nline tutrials t help me figure ut hw t care fr my failing plant. Fllwing the instructins, I transplanted the tree t a larger pt, untangling its rts t give it rm t grw. When it was back in the sunny windw, we bth began t thrive again.
35. Accrding t Para 2-3 the writer achieved a sense f accmplishment in that .

B. watering the plants helped him t recver sme ther abilities in everyday tasks.
C. the plants he tended were s flurishing that he realized he was still dependable.
D. he culd fulfill sme rutine tasks withut the supprt frm thers anymre.
36. The underlined wrd “adrift” in Para 3 mst prbably means .
A. superficial and hllwB. exhausted and hpeless
C. unidentifiable and frustratedD. hysterical and fearful .
37. Which f the fllwing is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. Lack f nutrients in the cmmercial plant fd led the leaves t brwn and drp.
B. The writer was cncerned that the cnditin f the plant signified his wn health.

One night several years ag, after filling up my car at a gas statin and pulling away, I nticed a strange sund behind me in traffic — srt f a metallic clanking nise. It sunded t me like smene was dragging a muffler r bumper, s I started lking fr the car t alert the driver. But n matter hw fast r slw I mved, r where I turned, I culdn’t lcate the car. At this pint I nticed peple n the sidewalk pinting and laughing at me. I stpped and fund the gas hses ill attached t my car. I immediately pulled ut the hse and drve back t the gas statin, where I was educated n the ecnmics f breaking a gas pump.
My memry f that night is dd because I was judging the behavir f anther persn, wh then turned ut t be me. Philsphers might say that in these rare minutes, my “I-self” (the seer f things arund me) and “me-self” (the ne seen) were mentally separated.
This kind f separatin is unnatural. Making it yur permanent state f mind wuld be difficult and perhaps even undesirable. Each f us can, hwever, purpsely change the balance f time we spend as bservers and as the bjects f bservatin. And wrking t bserve mre than yu think abut being bserved can be an excellent way t get happier.
When yu lk int a mirrr, yu see yurself almst as if yu were tw-different peple — ne wh sees, and ne wh is seen. That may sund cnfusing, but bear with me here, because bth versins f yu are imprtant. As the philspher William James explred in depth, yu must be an bserver f things arund yu t survive and thrive, but yu must als bserve yurself and be bserved by thers t have any cnsistent sense f self-cncept and self-image. Withut bserving, yu wuld get hit by a car r starve. Withut being bserved, yu wuld have n memry, histry, r sense f why yu d what yu d.
The tick fr wellbeing is balancing yur I-self and me-self. But mst f us spend t much time being bserved and nt enugh time bserving. We think cnstantly abut urselves and hw thers see us; we lk in every mirrr; we check ur mentins n scial media; we bsess ver ur identities.
This brings truble. Research has shwn, fr example, that fcusing n the wrld utside yurself is linked t happiness, while fcusing n yurself and hw thers see yu can lead t unstable mds. Yur happiness ges up and dwn like a y-y, depending n whether yu see yurself psitively r negatively in a given mment. This instability is hard t bear; n wnder self-absrptin is assciated with anxiety and depressin.
Seeing yurself as an bject rather than a subject can als lwer yur perfrmance in rdinary tasks. Researchers have fund in learning experiments that peple are less likely t try new things when they are fcused n themselves. This makes sense: When yu pay t much attentin t yurself, yu ignre a lt abut the utside wrld.
42. The writer mentined his wn experience in Para1 in rder t .
A. express his guilt f having intended t alert and criticize ther peple
B illustrate his annyance f being pinted and laughed by ther peple
C. give a vivid example f separating “me-self” and “I-self” mentally
D. educate peple abut the disastrus cnsequence f breaking a gas pump
43. Which f the fllwing statements will the philspher William James mst prbably agree with?
A. Observing mre than being bserved can enable peple t be happier in life.
B. Observing and being bserved is equally imprtant t cnsistently learning abut neself.
C. Thrugh being bserved, we might get a clue t the features f ur surrundings.
D. Balancing I-self and me-self allws us nt nly t survive but als t thrive.
44. What is the writer’s attitude twards fcusing n “me-self”?
A. Affirmative.B. Neutral.C. Negative.D. Uncncerned.
45. Based n the passage, which f the fllwing statements is TRUE?
A. Achieving the balance between “I-self” and “me-self” is the key t well-being.
B. It’s undesirable fr nrmal peple t distinguish mentally between “I-self” and “me-self”.
C. Spending mre time bserving the things arund us than being bserved is nt advcated.
D. The ccurrence f anxiety and depressin is attributed t fcusing n the utside wrld.

Why We Hate the Feeling f Failure and Hw It Affects Us
Lss aversin is the idea that a ptential lss has greater weight in a persn's mind than the pssible gain. Peple seek t avid failure and the negative feelings they expect will cme frm such a lss.
____46____. Marketers want t understand the emtins surrunding lss s they can wrd advertisements in a way that prmpts cnsumers t feel they need t buy a prduct t avid negative feelings.
Mre recently, scial scientists have turned their at tent n t hw lss aversin can hinder peple frm perfrming in their daily lives.____47____.
Sprts and athletic perfrmance was ne f the first areas f fcus. A study in May 2023 lked at hw adult athletes were hindered by a fear f failure. It fund that athletes wh feared failure tended t apprach an athletic event and appraise(评估) it fr ptential lsses.
Lsses weren't just related t the final numbers n the screbard. Rather, sme athletes apprached a practice r a game and saw it as a ptential t perfrm prly and lse standing with their cach, teammates r fellw athletes.____48____Schlars are als cnsidering hw a fear f failure impacts academics. In a 2015 article, researchers cnducted a meta-analysis f 33 studies that measured the relatinship between prcrastinatin and academic perfrmance.
Nt surprisingly, prcrastinatin was shwn t decrease academic , this type f I'll-get t-it later mentality was a lss aversin strategy. When a student didn't feel cnfident r cmpetent in cmpleting a task, whether it was writing an essay r studying fr an exam, they prcrastinated t delay feeling like a failure.
While ur fear f lss may impact ur mindset and whether r nt we pursue smething new, if we let that fear take hld, then we’ve already lst. There fr, dn’t let fear f failure keep yu frm trying smething new.
A. Researchers have examined hw fear f failure can lead t-prcrastinatin.
B. The lss was seen as humiliating and smething the athlete feared r wanted t avid.
C. Research has fund this fear f failure drives peple t stp pursuing their passins.
D. Hwever, the study fund that it wasn't due t students priritizing their scial life r Netflix queue.
E. Dubt has killed their dreams than failure ever will
F. Lss a versin has lng been used t study cnsumer psychlgy.

Music is such a fundamental part f human culture that it likely pre-dates literacy, the inventin f the wheel, and even the musical nte itself. While peple generally knw what kind f music they like — and what they dn’t — it’s pssible t expand yur appreciatin by learning new ways t listen. Here are sme tips fr cultivating sensitive awareness f musical elements.
Yu might feel frightened picking up a guitar r sitting dwn at a pian — but learning an instrument can help yu better understand hw a sng cmes tgether and what rle a specific type f sund plays in the cmpsitin. Mrever, the mvement and effrt f a live perfrmance can ften fcus yur attentin n parts f a sng yu may have therwise missed. S, the next time yu hear a sng — particularly a classical arrangement — try t imagine it being perfrmed. Or, try t picture a scene (a thunderstrm, a race) that best fits the md and temp f the piece.
It’s certainly nt necessary t grab yur favrite musician’s bigraphy in rder t appreciate a gd ditty, but it may help yu better understand the cntext in which he r she wrte the lyrics r recrded a track. Researching backgrunds can als lead yu t discver scial and plitical influences at the time the music was created.
It culd be hard t appreciate a warm day unless yu’ve spent a winter freezing. Likewise, listening t music requires a cntrast that helps yu better understand hw rganized and harmnius it can be. Listen t — dn’t just hear — cmmn, everyday nises. While sme may be irritating, thers may have a meldy all their wn. Either way, yu’ll return t a piece f music with a new respect fr a fcused, deliberate bit f sund.

Is It Dangerus fr Micr plastics t Be in the Bdy?
A new study suggests invasive medical prcedures may be an verlked rute f micr plastics expsure, raising cncerns abut the ptential health risks f plastic ____1____ (get) in the bdy.
Based n heart tissue samples cllected frm 15 peple wh underwent heart peratins, scientists discvered tens t thusands f individual micrplastic pieces in mst tissue samples analyzed—althugh the amunts and materials ____2____(vary) between participants. Accrding t the analysis, a fractin f the plastic pieces identified had a diameter t large t likely enter the bdy thrugh inhalatin(吸入) r ingestin(食入), which indicated that the heart peratin ____3____(it) may “permit direct access f micr plastics t the bldstream and tissues.” The researchers cited previus scientific investigatin shwing that micr plastics have been detected in the air in perating rms and culd directly enter a patient rgans are expsed t the air during surgery.

An analysis lking at 17 previus reprts____7____(invlve) the impact f micr plastics n human cells, determined that ingesting micr plastics may cntribute t cell death, allergic respnse, and damage t cell walls.
“Chrnic expsure may als lead t health prblems assciated with inflammatin(炎症), such as diabetes r liver disease,” says O’Tle. “The danger t ne’s health may depend n____8____lng these particles have been in the heart. If just intrduced during the prcedure, micr plastics are prbably nt____9____immediate cncern, but they may cause lng-term prblems if nt cleared.”
While the health implicatins are still unknwn and limiting expsure in ur mdem sciety maybe difficult, aviding plastic packaging and plastic prducts when pssible might reduce sme risk.

(A)
My wife and I usually dn't keep huseplants. Anything in pts gets either ver watered r underwatered. After my diagnsis with gliblastma—a terminal brain cancer with a prgnsis f little mre than a year t live—I lved the idea f having smething green and alive arund us. When my friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamb plant in a deep-green pttery bwl, we decided t place the plant in the living rm windw acrss frm the cuch where I spent much f each day.
I tld my wife I wanted t care fr the plant myself. When it didn't immediately tum yellw r brwn r lse all its leaves, I was pleasantly surprised. Tending the plant gave me a sense f accmplishment at a time when I smetimes felt useless. Gliblastma limited my ability t walk, and the treatment left me fatigued, making it hard fr me t accmplish everyday tasks.
As a physician, I was used t being the ne wh prvided care, nt the ne wh received t Since my diagnsis in August 2018, far t ften, I had t rely n help frm ther peple. The enrmus change left me feeling adrift. Watering the plant, as small an act as it was, cnnected me t a cre part f my ld identity and taught me I culd still be a caregiver. Plants and peple culd still depend n me. Sn, it had nearly dubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush. Bth the tree and I were thriving.
Then, mysteriusly, it began t shw signs f stress. I increased my plant watering, then decreased it. I fed it cmmercial plant fd. N matter what I did, the leaves kept brwning and drpping t the flr. “I can't even care fr a simple plant!” I yelled. “I'm failing!”
My wife reminded me that we'd seen huseplants die befre. She asked me why I was getting s wrked up abut this particular ne. I culdn't shake the feeling that the plant had becme a symbl f my wn vulnerable health. Identifying with the green and grwing plant had ffered me slace. Its shriveling leaves, I wrried, might signal the recurrence f my brain tumr.
I realized I had wrngly cnnected my careful nurturing f the plant-smething ver which I had at least sme cntrl—with my wn survival-smething ver which I had n cntrl. When my tumr inevitably returned, it wuld nt be because f any failure n my part—nt because I didn't atmize essential ils in my f ice, nt because I ate sugar ccasinally and certainly nt because I failed t keep this plant alive.
As my anxiety lessened, I began t examine nline tutrials t help me figure ut hw t care fr my failing plant. Fllwing the instructins, I transplanted the tree t a larger pt, untangling its rts t give it rm t grw. When it was back in the sunny windw, we bth began t thrive again.
35. Accrding t Para 2-3 the writer achieved a sense f accmplishment in that .

B. watering the plants helped him t recver sme ther abilities in everyday tasks.
C. the plants he tended were s flurishing that he realized he was still dependable.

One night several years ag, after filling up my car at a gas statin and pulling away, I nticed a strange sund behind me in traffic — srt f a metallic clanking nise. It sunded t me like smene was dragging a muffler r bumper, s I started lking fr the car t alert the driver. But n matter hw fast r slw I mved, r where I turned, I culdn’t lcate the car. At this pint I nticed peple n the sidewalk pinting and laughing at me. I stpped and fund the gas hses ill attached t my car. I immediately pulled ut the hse and drve back t the gas statin, where I was educated n the ecnmics f breaking a gas pump.
My memry f that night is dd because I was judging the behavir f anther persn, wh then turned ut t be me. Philsphers might say that in these rare minutes, my “I-self” (the seer f things arund me) and “me-self” (the ne seen) were mentally separated.
This kind f separatin is unnatural. Making it yur permanent state f mind wuld be difficult and perhaps even undesirable. Each f us can, hwever, purpsely change the balance f time we spend as bservers and as the bjects f bservatin. And wrking t bserve mre than yu think abut being bserved can be an excellent way t get happier.
When yu lk int a mirrr, yu see yurself almst as if yu were tw-different peple — ne wh sees, and ne wh is seen. That may sund cnfusing, but bear with me here, because bth versins f yu are imprtant. As the philspher William James explred in depth, yu must be an bserver f things arund yu t survive and thrive, but yu must als bserve yurself and be bserved by thers t have any cnsistent sense f self-cncept and self-image. Withut bserving, yu wuld get hit by a car r starve. Withut being bserved, yu wuld have n memry, histry, r sense f why yu d what yu d.
The tick fr wellbeing is balancing yur I-self and me-self. But mst f us spend t much time being bserved and nt enugh time bserving. We think cnstantly abut urselves and hw thers see us; we lk in every mirrr; we check ur mentins n scial media; we bsess ver ur identities.
This brings truble. Research has shwn, fr example, that fcusing n the wrld utside yurself is linked t happiness, while fcusing n yurself and hw thers see yu can lead t unstable mds. Yur happiness ges up and dwn like a y-y, depending n whether yu see yurself psitively r negatively in a given mment. This instability is hard t bear; n wnder self-absrptin is assciated with anxiety and depressin.
Seeing yurself as an bject rather than a subject can als lwer yur perfrmance in rdinary tasks. Researchers have fund in learning experiments that peple are less likely t try new things when they are fcused n themselves. This makes sense: When yu pay t much attentin t yurself, yu ignre a lt abut the utside wrld.
42. The writer mentined his wn experience in Para1 in rder t .
A. express his guilt f having intended t alert and criticize ther peple
B illustrate his annyance f being pinted and laughed by ther peple
C. give a vivid example f separating “me-self” and “I-self” mentally
D. educate peple abut the disastrus cnsequence f breaking a gas pump
43. Which f the fllwing statements will the philspher William James mst prbably agree with?
A. Observing mre than being bserved can enable peple t be happier in life.
B. Observing and being bserved is equally imprtant t cnsistently learning abut neself.
C. Thrugh being bserved, we might get a clue t the features f ur surrundings.
D. Balancing I-self and me-self allws us nt nly t survive but als t thrive.
44. What is the writer’s attitude twards fcusing n “me-self”?
A. Affirmative.B. Neutral.C. Negative.D. Uncncerned.
45. Based n the passage, which f the fllwing statements is TRUE?
A. Achieving the balance between “I-self” and “me-self” is the key t well-being.
B. It’s undesirable fr nrmal peple t distinguish mentally between “I-self” and “me-self”.
C. Spending mre time bserving the things arund us than being bserved is nt advcated.
