Thse wh are used t lking thrugh thusands f bks in big bkstres may find Japan’s Mrika Shten a little strange. That’s because this tiny bkstre that is lcated in Ginza, Tky ffers nly ne title at a time.
Opened in May 2015, Mrika Shten is the brainchild f Yshiyuki Mrika. The experienced bkseller began his career as a bkstre clerk in Tky’s Kanda district befre branching ut t pen his wn stre. It was here while rganizing bk readings that he realized that custmers usually came int the stre with ne title in mind. Mrika began t wnder if a stre culd exist by selling many cpies f just ne single bk. In Nvember 2014, he partnered with his tw friends, t establish a unique bkstre with the idea f “A Single Rm, A Single Bk”.
Like its ffering the bkstre is simple. The selectins that are picked by Mrika change weekly and vary widely t attract custmers with different interests. Recent chices include The True Deceiver, an award-winning Swedish nvel by Tve Janssn, Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales, and a cllectin f artist Karl. Blssfeldt’s phtgraphy f plants. Mrika has als chsen bks written by famus Japanese authrs Mimei Ogawa and Akit Akagi.
T highlight his nly ffering, Mrika ften uses clever methds. Fr example, when selling a bk abut flwers, he decrated his shp with the nes that had been mentined in the bk. He als encurages authrs t hld talks and discussins s they can cnnect with custmers. Mrika says his gal is fr the custmers t experience being inside a bk, nt just a bkstre!
Risky as the idea might seem, things appear t be ging well. Mrika says he has sld ver 2, 100 bks since he pened it. Things can get better cnsidering that his bkstre is becming increasingly ppular nt just amng the lcals but als visitrs frm ther cuntries.
24. What inspired Mrika t pen such a bkstre?
A. A Swedish nvel.B. His present partner.
C. A bkstre clerk.D. His wrking experience.
25. Why is Mrika Shten unique?
A. It is ppular with freigners.B. It sells bks f different tpics.
C. It is decrated with clrful flwers.D. It sells varius cpies f a bk in a week.
26. Why des Mrika encurage authrs t hld talks?
A. T intrduce his bkstre.B. T advcate his philsphy.
C. T make bks better understd.D. T help readers cnnect with each ther.
27. What’s the authr’s pinin abut the bkstre’s future?

The U.S. is in the midst f a “lneliness epidemic”. Fr a lt f peple, the feeling is even mre nticeable during the hlidays. In additin t the emtinal impact f chrnic lneliness, it has sme dramatic health cnsequences: increased risk f heart disease and strke, infectins, cancer, even death.
Peple may feel lnely when their scial needs are nt met by the peple arund them. Laetitia Mwilambwe-Tshilb, a scial cgnitive neurscientist at Princetn University, says lneliness epidemic captures tw distinct grups: first, peple with a lw number f scial cnnectins; secnd, peple wh feel they have pr quality existing relatinships.
Elisa Baek, a scial neurscientist at the University f Suthern Califrnia, c-authred a study that lked at whether lnely peple view the wrld differently than nn-lnely peple, specifically amng cllege freshmen. Baek fund that while nn-lnely peple were all similar in their neural respnses, lnely peple had respnses that were really different-nt just frm the nn-lnely grup, but als frm each ther. Back says that these idisyncrasies (特性) in hw lnely participants prcess the wrld, “may pse challenges in hw these peple are able t achieve scial cnnectin and feel cnnected with thers.”
T study these changes t the brain, Baek’s team cllected fMRI data — a measure f bld flw changes in the brain — while first-year cllege students watched shrt vides t measure hw similarly participants’ brains respnded t the vides. The vides ranged frm dramatic and cmedic clips t instructinal demnstratins in rder t reprduce experiences participants might have in daily life. She says it’s the clsest they culd get t study peple’s brain activity — and hw they prcess the wrld — while they were ging abut their lives.
Mwilambwe-Tshilb, wh is nt invlved in the study, says the research accurately highlights hw individual differences affect peple in experiencing lneliness. “Trying t cnnect mre deeply with ne r tw r three ther peple may be mre imprtant than t try t get t knw everybdy and being n gd terms with everybdy. It desn’t have t be smene wh is like-minded. It’s mre like: Hw can we get n the same page with peple wh we might nt start ff n the same page with, but that might frm deeper cnnectins afterwards?” she adds.
28. Which descriptin best characterizes the “lneliness epidemic”?
A. Harmful mentally and physically.B. Exclusive t peple with few friends.
C. Striking thrughut the year.D. Spreading between peple.
29. What can be inferred frm the study cnducted by Elisa Baek?
A. Its findings fcus n the differences between lnely and nn-lnely peple.
B. It targets freshman students at the University f Suthern Califrnia.
C. It casts light n hw lnely peple perceive the wrld.
D. It challenges lnely peple t be mre scial.
30. What is required f the vides fr the study?
A. T mnitr the respnse speed.B. T mdel everyday situatins.
C. T study the recreatinal activities.D. T lk int the brain structures.
31. What advice might Mwilambwe-Tshilb give t lnely peple?
A. Expand the scial netwrk.B. Befriend with thse in high places.
C. Seek ut friends wh think alikeD. Deepen cnnectins with patience.

Crws (乌鸦) are undeniably intelligent. Frm making tls t hlding hatred, crws have been surprising the scientific cmmunity with their skillset. In fact, a study nce published in the jurnal Current Bilgy fund “the crw brain is the same relative size as the chimpanzee (大猩猩) brain”.
Nw, a study published in Science Advances finds crws understand what is knwn as recursin (递归). Prir t (在……之前) this study, recursin was believed t be unique t humans.
“We were interested in the ability t represent recursive structures — defined here as having elements be put within ther similar elements,” Diana Lia said, wh is the study’s first authr. Lia says it was surprising t discver crws “were able t knw the underlying recursive structure f the rders” upn first expsure. This makes the birds similar t humans, wh are able t extract patterns with little experience. “Recursin is thught t be a key feature f human symblic systems such as language r mathematics — and since these are thught t be unique t humans — there’s been interest in whether nn-human animals can grasp and generate recursive structures,” says Lia.
What exactly is recursin? Lia explains: “A classic example sentence is ‘the muse the cat caught ran’ where the clause ‘the cat caught’ is within the clause ‘the muse ran’. These cmplex structures are fund in human languages but nt in animal cmmunicatin systems which suggest that recursin might be what separates them.”
The findings f this study are significant since they shw recursive ability in animals that are nt clsely related t chimpanzees. “This suggests that this ability is either very evlutinarily (进化) ancient r that is a prduct f cnvergent evlutin,” says Lia. “Als, it wuld prpse that certain brain structures are nt necessary t supprt this ability since birds have a dramatically different neural architecture.”
Lia says scientists knw crws are smart but the extent f their intelligence is really unexpected. “Everyne has the impressin that crws are super smart but I simply didn’t knw just hw intelligent they are.”
32. What is the finding f the new study?
A. Crws can make tls.B. Crws understand recursin.
C. Crws can create special patterns.D. Crws and chimpanzees are f a brain size.
33. Which structure can shw Crws’ special ability?
A. I bught a bkB. My bk was missing.
C. The bk I bught was missing.D. My bk was missing and I bught ne.
34. What impressed Diana Lia?
A. Crws’ intelligence level.B. Crws’ bdy structure.
C. The reasn fr Crws’ smartness.D. peple’s impressin f crws.
35. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Crws Are Humans’ clse Relatives
B. Crws Are Fund the cleverest Bird
C. Crws Have the Ability t Learn t speak
D. Crws Have a Human-like Grammar skill

I was a shy persn and always dubted my ability. Tw years ag, I went thrugh a training prgram and became a vlunteer. The jb was t help thse wh cannt read and write. When I began t teach, I discvered what ther peple’s lives were like, because they culd nt read.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-ld single mther f three. In the first lessn, I fund ut she walked tw miles t the nearest supermarket twice a week, because she didn’t knw which bus t take. When I tld her I wuld get her a bus schedule, she tld me it wuld nt help, because she culd nt read it. She said she als had difficulty nce she gt t the supermarket, because she culdn’t always remember what she needed. Since she did nt knw wrds, she culd nt write ut a shpping list. Als, she culd nly recgnize items by sight, s if the prduct had a different label (标签) she wuld nt recgnize it as the prduct she wanted.
After learning abut Marie’s situatin, I decided t teach her names f daily necessities fist. I wuld start my lessns by encuraging her t give each item in her kitchen a sticker with its name n it. She wuld hesitate fr a while befre sticking the right name during the first perids.

As we wrked tgether, learning hw t read built Marie’s self-cnfidence, which encuraged her t cntinue in her studies. She began t make rapid prgress and was even able t take the bus t the supermarket.
