Whenever I heard strangers singing ut lud, whether it was in the supermarket r n the street, I used t think hw annying it was. That was until a few mnths ag.
Recently, my daughter Ze started her secnd year f middle schl with a new sense f awareness, asking me t fix the “little girl” pattern n her wheelchair seat. Nt wanting her t stand ut at schl, I spent hurs filling in pale yellw stars with a black marker, eager t erase whatever childish signs I culd. Shrtly after, Ze gt really sick and had t miss 20 days f schl. This meant ur days were filled with rushing between hspital appintments and meetings with the schl, as we tried t make sure she didn't fall behind n her schlwrk.

Cnsumed (被折磨)with my mtherly wrries, it was mre cncerning t me than her sickness.
One day, hwever, I heard her beautiful vice as I was cking dinner. I stpped what I was ding and just smiled. “Pure delight.’’ I thught t myself.

Nw, thankfully, she’s back in schl, smiling and singing, and I’m thankful fr each and every sng she sings.
These days, whenever I hear a stranger singing a sng t themselves, I dn’t get mad. Instead, I smile, as I knw that by singing ut lud, they’re simply sharing their happiness with the wrld.

We already knw that salt can lead t heart disease. But culd it als affect ur mind? Scientists fund that a high-salt diet caused cgnitive impairments (认知障碍) in mice and it culd prduce the same effect n humans.
Cstantin Iadecla, directr f the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research the Institute, said they fed the mice eight t sixteen times their nrmal salt intake and then tested the mice. After abut three mnths, the mice had a big change in their behavir. Mice are very curius, and they like t lk fr new things. Hwever, the tested mice lst the ability t identify a nrmal bject. When the mice were put in their cage and asked t find a quiet spt, they did nt remember where the quiet spt was. Then when the mice were building a nest, which is smething the mice d daily, they were unable t d s. The research suggested humans wuld experience a similar respnse.
Studies have shwn Australians eat arund duble the recmmended amunt f salt each day, mst f it cming frm prcessed fd. Dr. Iadecla said the estimated tw teaspns f salt the average Australian eats each day culd affect the brain functin in the lng term. Hwever, the decline might nt be as bvius as in the mice, wh were given extremely high levels f salt. “But prbably ver years and perhaps decades—as ppsed t a few mnths fr the muse—even lwer levels f salt may have a terrible effect,” Dr Iadecla said.
“High levels f salt cause serius immune changes in the rgans in and arund the stmach, resulting in an almst autimmune effect n the brain. It is part f a grwing bdy f evidence that we really are what we eat,” Bryce Vissel, directr f the Centre fr Neurscience at the University f Technlgy Sydney, said. Thse changes in turn cause all srts f respnses in the bdy, which ver time certainly cntribute t cgnitive impairments.
32. Which can describe the tested mice?
A. They remained quiet all day.B. They became smarter than ever.
C. They frgt sme rutine things.D. They were quick at finding bjects.
33. What d we knw abut Australians?
A. They ignre health advice.B. They have a higher-salt diet.
C. They dislike prcessed fd.D. They value their brain health.
34. What des the last paragraph mainly fcus n?
A. Studies carried ut by Bryce Vissel.
B. Immune changes brught abut by salt.
C. Effects f daily diets n human behavirs.
D. Links between salt intake and brain damage.
35. What des the text suggest?
A. Brain health cunts much.B. The bdy never tells a lie.
C. Lw-salt diet is t be advcated.D. Heart diseases can be prevented.

Whenever I heard strangers singing ut lud, whether it was in the supermarket r n the street, I used t think hw annying it was. That was until a few mnths ag.
Recently, my daughter Ze started her secnd year f middle schl with a new sense f awareness, asking me t fix the “little girl” pattern n her wheelchair seat. Nt wanting her t stand ut at schl, I spent hurs filling in pale yellw stars with a black marker, eager t erase whatever childish signs I culd. Shrtly after, Ze gt really sick and had t miss 20 days f schl. This meant ur days were filled with rushing between hspital appintments and meetings with the schl, as we tried t make sure she didn't fall behind n her schlwrk.
I felt pulled back t a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part f her life. Back then, it seemed like Ze lived in hspitals, as she spent s much time in them. N matter hw sick she gt, hwever, she always had a psitive attitude. But this was different: Ze was n lnger singing like she nrmally did.

Cnsumed (被折磨)with my mtherly wrries, it was mre cncerning t me than her sickness.
One day, hwever, I heard her beautiful vice as I was cking dinner. I stpped what I was ding and just smiled. “Pure delight.’’ I thught t myself. Her vice slwly grew strnger, and sn, bth the car and the huse were filled with her music nce mre. Hw had I nt nticed her singing had cmpletely stpped, weeks and weeks ag? Nw, thankfully, she’s back in schl, smiling and singing, and I’m thankful fr each and every sng she sings.
These days, whenever I hear a stranger singing a sng t themselves, I dn’t get mad. Instead, I smile, as I knw that by singing ut lud, they’re simply sharing their happiness with the wrld.

We already knw that salt can lead t heart disease. But culd it als affect ur mind? Scientists fund that a high-salt diet caused cgnitive impairments (认知障碍) in mice and it culd prduce the same effect n humans.
Cstantin Iadecla, directr f the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research the Institute, said they fed the mice eight t sixteen times their nrmal salt intake and then tested the mice. After abut three mnths, the mice had a big change in their behavir. Mice are very curius, and they like t lk fr new things. Hwever, the tested mice lst the ability t identify a nrmal bject. When the mice were put in their cage and asked t find a quiet spt, they did nt remember where the quiet spt was. Then when the mice were building a nest, which is smething the mice d daily, they were unable t d s. The research suggested humans wuld experience a similar respnse.
Studies have shwn Australians eat arund duble the recmmended amunt f salt each day, mst f it cming frm prcessed fd. Dr. Iadecla said the estimated tw teaspns f salt the average Australian eats each day culd affect the brain functin in the lng term. Hwever, the decline might nt be as bvius as in the mice, wh were given extremely high levels f salt. “But prbably ver years and perhaps decades—as ppsed t a few mnths fr the muse—even lwer levels f salt may have a terrible effect,” Dr Iadecla said.
“High levels f salt cause serius immune changes in the rgans in and arund the stmach, resulting in an almst autimmune effect n the brain. It is part f a grwing bdy f evidence that we really are what we eat,” Bryce Vissel, directr f the Centre fr Neurscience at the University f Technlgy Sydney, said. Thse changes in turn cause all srts f respnses in the bdy, which ver time certainly cntribute t cgnitive impairments.
32. Which can describe the tested mice?
A. They remained quiet all day.B. They became smarter than ever.
C. They frgt sme rutine things.D. They were quick at finding bjects.
33. What d we knw abut Australians?
A. They ignre health advice.B. They have a higher-salt diet.
C. They dislike prcessed fd.D. They value their brain health.
34. What des the last paragraph mainly fcus n?
A. Studies carried ut by Bryce Vissel.
B. Immune changes brught abut by salt.
C. Effects f daily diets n human behavirs.
D. Links between salt intake and brain damage.
35. What des the text suggest?
A. Brain health cunts much.B. The bdy never tells a lie.
