Anxiety has fllwed me arund like a lst dg lking fr a bne fr years nw. I feel it the mst strngly when I’m wrried abut my health r my daughter’s health. I feel an unusual sensatin and all f a sudden: panic! My wrries are nt limited t health cncerns thugh, and they g in the directin f anxiety abut the future f the wrld, wrries abut my finances, and fears that I’m nt gd enugh.
Let me g back a few decades, back t when anxiety wasn’t part f my life. When I was a child, I lved art. I drew and I clred because that’s what I enjyed. I went t cllege t becme an art teacher. When I finished schl in May f 2001, I had a part-time design jb, and after the event f September 11th,2001,I knew I needed t travel, t get ut f the safe life I was living in my hmetwn. That’s when my creative practices fell by the wayside.
Luckily, after the birth f my daughter in 2014, the desire t create came back. At first, I was using a tiny crner f a bedrm in ur rental huse t paint. Eventually we bught a huse, and I had the space t spread ut, ready t paint whenever the urge struck. That’s when I started nticing smething imprtant: Painting stilled me in a way that nthing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way ther practice （deep breathing, etc） did nt, at least nt as cnsistently. When anxius thughts start, I knw what t d. I head int my studi, grab sme materials, and start creating. Sn enugh, the wrries are gne and instead my mind is quiet.
I think the reasn why painting is s helpful fr my anxiety is that, in rder fr me t be anxius, I have t be wrrying abut the future and what it hlds. When I’m ding an activity that requires my full cncentratin, I have t be in the mment. It desn’t matter if yu’re artistic. The nly thing that matters is finding a way t be here, in the nw, instead f in the unknwable future.

26．Hw des painting relieve the writer’s anxiety?
A．Painting makes her stay in a place.B．Clrs f painting calm her dwn.
C．Painting is a very creative activity.D．Painting makes less rm fr wrries.
27．What can we learn frm the stry?

One mrning in Octber, it was raining. David Makau, a farmer in the village f Munathi, sutheast Kenya, knew it was time t plant his crps f cw peas and beans. Five days later, with the cluds disappearing, the sun grew htter, marking the end f the rainy seasn.
Farmers like him rely n a tw-mnth perid f wetting the fields, but this year it nly lasted fr five days. The bad harvest meant a third hungry year in a rw and he culd nt affrd t buy mre seeds even if the rains did return.
There was a glimmer f hpe, hwever, in the frm f a whitewashed building, the Munathi seed bank. Inside, ut f the fierce heat and away frm the underfed （营养不良的） cattle wandering the fields, there was a cl rm crwded with bags f crp and vegetable seeds. Run by a grup f farmers, members are free t help themselves n cnditin that they have t return twice the amunt when they harvest their crps.
Pineered by Excellent Develpment, a British-run charity which prvides sustainable aid in suth-east Kenya, seed banks are vital fr many farmers affected by climate change. “Aid isn’t abut things but helping peple t help themselves,” said Sim n Maddrell, a member in the charity after he was made t leave his jb as a manager with Xerx. He has always been fascinated by Africa since his visit with the Venture Scuts when he was a by. Nw he helps Kenyan farmers farm mre efficiently. Excellent Develpment helps farmers help themselves, instead f simply giving them fd handuts. “That takes away peple’s dignity,” he said.
Since 2002, the charity has built 200 sand dams n small rivers t create water supplies, planted 600,000 trees, dug 670 miles f terracing（梯H） t help fields retain water, and paid fr seed banks in 59 cmmunities thrughut suth-east Kenya.
28．Accrding t the passage, what is a gd harvest fr Makau heavily dependent n?
A．Lng rainy days.B．The fierce heat.
C．The number f seeds.D．The chice f the right crps.
29．What can we learn abut the Munathi seed bank?
A．It has a bug e stck f underfed cattle.
B．It helps its members with seeds as sustainable aid.
C．It is a charity run and funded by the Kenyan gvernment.
D．It uncnditinally ffers seeds t farmers affected by climate change.
30．What can we infer frm the text?
A．Octber is the mst suitable time t plant crps f cw peas and beans.
B．Simn is very interested in Africa because he was brught up in Kenya.
C．Excellent Develpment prvides farmers with cntinuus aid t farm efficiently.
D．Accepting help frm Excellent Develpment makes peple in Kenya feel ashamed.
31．Which can be the best title fr the text?

There’s a useful cncept frm psychlgy that helps explain why gd peple d things that harm the envirnment: the false cnsensus effect. That’s where we vervalue hw acceptable and prevalent （普遍的） ur wn behavir is in sciety. Put simply, if yu’re ding smething （even if yu secretly knw yu prbably shuldn’t）, yu’re mre likely t think plenty f ther peple d it t. What’s mre, yu likely verestimate hw much ther peple think that behavir is bradly OK.
This bias（偏差） allws peple t justify scially unacceptable r illegal behavirs. Researchers have bserved the false cnsensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting. Mre recently, cnservatinists are beginning t reveal hw this effect cntributes t envirnmental damage.
In Australia, peple wh admitted t paching（偷猎） thught it was much mre prevalent in sciety than it really was, and had higher estimates than fishers wh beyed the law. They als believed thers viewed paching as scially acceptable; hwever, in reality, mre than 90% f fishers held the ppsite view. The false cnsensus effect has als shwn up in studies examining supprt fr nuclear energy and ffshre wind farms.
Just as cncepts frm psychlgy can help explain sme frms f envirnmental damage, s t can they help address it. Fr example, research shws peple are mre likely t litter in areas where there’s already a lt f trash scattered arund; s making sure the grund arund a bin is nt cvered in rubbish may help.
Factual infrmatin n hw ther peple think and behave can be very pwerful. Energy cmpanies have substantially reduced energy cnsumptin simply by shwing peple hw their electricity use cmpares t their neighbrs. Encuragingly, stimulating peple’s natural desire fr status has als been successful in getting peple t “g green t be seen”, r t publicly buy ec-friendly prducts.
As the research evidence shws, scial nrms can be a pwerful frce in encuraging and ppularizing envirnmentally friendly behavirs. Perhaps yu can d yur bit by sharing this article!
32．Which example best illustrates the false cnsensus effect?
A．A student spends lng hurs surfing the Internet.
B．A blgger assumes many peple dislike his psts.
C．A driver frequently parks illegally in public places.
D．A smker believes peple generally apprve f smking.
33．Hw did mst Australian fishers view the issue f paching?
A．It is unacceptable.B．It is widespread.
C．It is cntrversial.D．It is cmplex.
34．What d the underlined wrds “g green t be seen” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Embrace green habits fr better health.
B．Make green chices that thers can ntice.
C．Jin green mvements fr persnal fulfillment.
D．Chse green items that are easy t spt in stres.
35．What is a recmmended apprach t addressing envirnmental prblems?
A．Underestimate scial nrms.B．Highlight persnal respnsibilities.
C．Publicize sustainable practices.D．Encurage technlgical innvatins.

Hw t think utside the bx
Being pen t dissenting（持异议的） pinins is nt the nly way t think utside the bx. 36 .

A famus cncept is appraching rutine situatins as if we met r saw them fr the first time. In ther wrds, we shuld lk at them as if we’d never seen them. 38 .

“Yu shuld thrw me in the bin. Mummy.”
Thse are the wrds my sn said t me, wrds a mther shuld never hear their child say. When I asked him why, he tld me that like his digger, he was brken and culd nt be fixed. My heart cracked a little mre at that and I knew that, I had t try and find a way t bring back the jy int ur wrld.
At age tw, he was diagnsed with type tw diabetes （糖尿病） and he was “just lsing his puppy fat”. My sn grew sicker and sicker until eventually, he was admitted int hspital.
Mtherhd changed in that mment. I went frm “Mummy” t nurse, always keeping a watch fr signs he might be in danger frm his wn bdy. It can be hard t find the balance between the demands f being a full-time care r fr a child with illness and being a mther. In thse early days, it brke me t hear him beg and cry fr me nt t hurt him with needles again. The risks that cme alng are as big as they can be: blindness, rgan failure, cma（昏迷） , death. His life is, and always will be, dependent n the mnitring and assessment f all these factrs.
Yet. I had t find a way t raise him t knw that he culd live it fully and with all his dreams within reach. I had t learn hw t live with these tw rles, just as he had t learn t live with the demands his bdy wuld place n him. What I had nt expected was t find the way thrugh in the mu d and rubble （瓦砾） f a new-build scial husing estate.
My husband, sn and I mved t the new estate in Cumbria when my sn was fur. The back garden was nthing mre than a patch f newly swn grass, and a thin layer f tpsil. Underneath that was rubble and rck. The site was a frmer industrial stnewrk, and but t us, it was a place f hpe.
