Tnight, ur family was ging ut t play under the full mn.
My husband Tdd and I first started ging n full mn walks fr urselves, as we needed these little dses f mnlight t stay happy, thugh smetimes we had t hike thrugh the frest t find a perfect spt. But after we became parents, we did this fr ur children. We wanted t shw Sierra and Bryce that it was nt necessary t travel far frm hme t have an adventure and learn smething new, and that there was much magic in the natural wrld, available t all.
Once we arrived at ur lcatin, Sierra and I std hlding hands, waiting t cheer the full mn in its rising — a thin sliver f the appealing mn emerged abve the ridge f the muntain afar. Sn, mre f the mn came ut until it turned int a brilliant range sphere. Tdd explained t Sierra and Bryce that the mn generates n light, but simply acts like a mirrr, reflecting the sunlight back t us. “Des the mn’s face change?” Bryce asked. I tld him that the mn rtates (旋转) arund the earth, but des nt spin by itself, s the same side f the mn is always facing the earth. Sierra remarked that the mn lked larger and clser when it was rising. I explained that it is a visual illusin (错觉) because it is s clse t the hrizn that the mn magically tricks ur eyes int cmparing it with nearby bjects, thus creating the impressin f the increased size.
Much f the knwledge that I shared with the kids was learned frm my parents. During my childhd, they wuld take me n educatinal adventures ut in the wds, and as I later fund, s did their parents. S every time I g fr a full mn walk with my belved family, I thank thse wise educatrs wh came befre me.

C该试卷源自 每日更新，享更低价下载。As humanity has gt richer, animal’s rles have changed. Peple need their services less than befre. Fewer wlves and thieves meant less demand fr dgs fr prtectin; the internal cmbustin engine (内燃机) made hrses unneeded; mdern sanitatin (卫生设备) kept rats in check and made cats less useful. Dmestic animals are n lnger necessities, but cmmnly seen cmpanins. Pet-keeping seems t becme mre and mre ppular, as a recent survey fund that 69% f American husehlds keep at least ne pet.
The pet business is grwing even faster than pet numbers, because peple are spending mre and mre mney n them. N lnger are they fd-waste-recyclers, fed with the remains that fall frm their masters’ tables. Pet fd shelves are full f cuisines tailred t satisfy a range f appetites, including ice cream fr dgs and fds fr pets that are ld, diabetic, r suffer frm sensitive digestin.
In the business, this is called “pet humanizatin” — the tendency f pet wners t treat their pets as part f the family. This is bvius in the names given t dgs, which have evlved frm Fid, Rex, and Spt t Bella, Lucy, and Max.
Peple still hld the false assumptin that pets must be wrking fr humanity in sme way, perhaps making peple healthier r less anxius. But the evidence fr that is weak. New research suggests that dgs have evlved thse “cute eyes” t affect human emtins and cntrl them, which wrks very well. Humans nw wrk very hard t pay fr the care f their pets. Fr example, Americans ften refer t themselves nt as cat wners but as the cat’s “mmmy” r “daddy”. Suth Kreans g ne step further, describing themselves as cat “butlers (管家)”. Watch an unlucky man walking his dg, plastic bag in hand t pick up its mess, and we have t dubt: wh’s in charge nw? Is this relatinship what we really want?
28．What can we learn abut the animal-keeping trend?
A．Peple’s needs fr animal services are increasing.
B．The price fr purchasing a dmestic pet is n the rise.
C．Pet fds are less varius and custmized than befre.
D．Bth the pet number and the pet business are grwing.
29．Which f the fllwing is the evidence f “pet humanizatin”?
A．Pets’ ability t make their wners less anxius.
B．The wners’ preference t give pets human names.
C．Pet’s rles as bth wrking staff and cmpanins.
D．Human’s increasing investment in pet-keeping.
30．What is the authr’s attitude twards the current human-pet relatinship?
A．Skeptical.B．Cnservative.C．Unclear.D. Apprving.
31．Which might be the best title f the passage?
A．The Changing Rles f PetsB．The Grwing Trend f Pet Business
C．The Craze fr Pet-keepingD．The Prs and Cns f Keeping Pets
D
“Anxiety.” The very wrd invites discmfrt. Its effects—shrtness f breath, punding heart, muscle tensin—are utright upsetting. But, as a clinician, I find that we tend t miss ut n many valuable pprtunities presented by this human emtin. In and f itself, anxiety is nt deadly, nr is it a disease. Quite the cntrary: it is an indicatr f brain and sensry health. Once we accept that it is a nrmal, thugh uncmfrtable, part f life, we can use it t help us.
We all knw wrking ut at the gym is hard. By nature, a “gd wrkut” is uncmfrtable, since it invlves pushing ur physical strength past what we can easily d. The sweet spt f exercise is always a smewhat challenging experience. Similarly, if yu want t be emtinally strnger, yu need t face sme tensin. Fr example, ne effective treatment fr fear is expsure therapy (疗法), which invlves gradually encuntering things that make ne anxius, reducing fear ver time.
Humans are scial creatures. When my patients learn t pen up t their partners abut their anxieties, they almst always reprt a greater sense f emtinal clseness. Als, as internatinal relatinship expert Sue Jhnsn teaches, when we express ur need fr cnnectin during challenging mments (e.g., “I’m having a hard time right nw and culd really use yur supprt”), it creates greater cnnectin and turns ur anxiety int lve.
Frm time t time, we find urselves at the end f ur rpe. Our respnsibilities pile up, ur resurces break dwn, and we feel uncmfrtably anxius—what we’re experiencing is called stress. Simply put, the demands placed upn us utweigh ur available resurces, just like a set f scales (天平) ging ut f balance. Fcusing n wrk and pretending everything is OK nly leads t disastrus results. Medical treatment fr stress may functin fr a while, but it tends t make things wrse in the lng run. The nly slutin t deal with stress is t d the mathematics t balance the scales.
32. What des the authr say abut anxiety?
A. It is an invitatin t diseases.
B. It indicates stable mental health.
C. It csts us many valuable chances.
D. It is a natural emtinal expressin.
33. Why des the authr mentin “gd wrkut” in paragraph 2?
A. T prve hw exercise influences emtins.
B. T suggest an effective way t challenge limits.
C. T explain hw anxiety builds emtinal strength.
D. T shw a psitive cnnectin between mind and bdy.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The key t clseness is partners’ supprt.
B. Sharing anxieties imprves relatinships.
C. Humans are defined by their scial nature.
D. Expressing feelings keeps us ff anxieties.
35. Accrding t the last paragraph, hw can we deal with stress?
A. Devte mre energy t ur wrk.
B. Seek prfessinal medical treatment.
C. Increase resurces available t us.
D. Master advanced mathematical skills.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
There’s a reasn why s many peple lve running early in the mrning. 36 Nt nly d yu begin yur day mre relaxed and refreshed, but yu’ve already started things ff with an accmplishment. If yu think yu’re ready t take advantage f the benefits f a mrning run, here are five suggestins frm the prfessinals.
●Find a friend, and be gentle with yurself.
Finding a partner t run with will give yu smene t be respnsible fr, and make it much harder t blw ff the run. It’s als imprtant t remember that this is a prcess, and yu can’t expect t d it perfectly frm the beginning. 37 “Once yu get int the habit, it becmes natural and actually jump starts yur day,” says Sheri Piers, tp American finisher at the 2012 Bstn Marathn.
●Embrace the mvement.
“The first few steps r blcks will be tugh in the mrning. They always are,” says Dr. Jrdan Metzl, wh has ver 32 marathn finishes under his belt. With a practice f mre than 20,000 patients, Metzl’s days are jam-packed, s early mrning runs are a must. 38 “Smetimes yu have t just d it, and remember that the mtivatin will cme later.” he says.
● Stay warm.
39 “If I g t bed in my sprts wear, all I need t d is thrw n the uter layers and head ut the dr. At least that takes away sme f the incnvenience,” says Tina Muir, a half-marathner. She als leaves her alarm n the ther side f the rm t help push herself up.
● 40 .
“I view waking up early like tearing ff a Band-Aid,” says Michele Gnzalez, a running cach. “It’s gnna hurt fr a bit.” Her advice is relatively simple. “Yu just have t set the alarm early and start ding it,” she says. “After a few days, yu’ll be tired earlier at night and will start ging t bed earlier. This makes the early alarm feel a bit mre manageable.”
A．It has majr benefits.
B．Have a training plan.
C．Make peace with the pain.
D．It’s just like warming up a car in the winter.
E．Even if yu have setback r tw, keep at it.
F．Still, he knws hw hard it can be t get mtivated.
G．The wrst part is getting changed in the cld air especially in winter.

My mm lved t pass her wisdm t me: “Nthing beats a gd bite that bites back.” She was referring t her bitter-taste fds like dill pickles and rhubarb (大黄叶). But I was nt a big fan.

Then, last summer, I came acrss the 52 fr her rhubarb pie in an ld drawer. S I decided t give it a 53 . A few attempts later, I served rhubarb pie t family and guests. All agreed, including me, that it tasted incredible.

It all began when my yunger brther, Chris, and I went ver t Uncle Hward’s fr Thanksgiving. When we finally gt t my uncle’s, Chris and I went utside t see if Uncle Hward needed help with anything. Since Chris was nly nine, he gt the easier jb f cleaning up the watering cans. I was twelve, ld enugh t help lad the wheelbarrw (手推车). But we still fund time t ask Uncle Hward a lt f questins abut turkeys. He must have been impressed, because when we were finished, he winked at my dad and handed me ne turkey egg.
“Yu kids put this under a hatching hen,” he said, “and in twenty-five days, yu’ll have a fine turkey!” Chris was s excited that he nearly drpped the egg n the way hme. Dad put the egg under an ld hen, and every day Chris and I wuld check t see if it had hatched yet. Twenty-five days seemed like frever. Finally, n the twenty-sixth day, Chris and I walked int the cp (鸡舍) after schl t find the ld hen scratching n the flr. Behind her was ne ball f fluff (绒毛), falling ver its feet and lking srt f cnfusin. When it gt lder, we culd tell that it was a tm. We named it Timthy.
