On a cld mrning in May, I received a fascinating email frm a high schl friend, inviting me t a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Prtugal. The ffer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enugh. Ten wmen, ranging frm 30 t 45 years ld, all strangers, wuld gather n the Prtuguese cast t embrace the challenge f surfing the Atlantic waves. As a fan f travel, I quickly sught permissin frm my bss fr this nce-in-a-lifetime jurney.
Thrugh my 33 years, I’ve bserved a cmmn adult tendency: we ften limit urselves t imprving skills we already have. There’s a certain pride in imprving ur expert knwledge, becming increasingly knwledgeable in ur chsen fields, yet unintentinally, this fcus ften leaves ther skills undevelped and leads t ignring ther areas f ptential grwth.
Tw days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf twn, where I met my surfing grup. Despite ur different persnalities and backgrunds, we were all united in a passinate desire t challenge urselves, learn, tackle and grw.
The shres at Ericeira, where the beginners learn t surf, are shallw and cvered with slippery rcks. They make fr sfter waves but are difficult t navigate (驾驭). Guided by ur amazing caches, tgether, we faced the waves. Smetimes, it pured with rain, and the waves crashed arund us, but we were still ut there. And with every slip and fall, wrds f encuragement filled the air. Hnestly, I prbably spent mst f my days frzen t the bne, but that didn’t matter because a new level f genuine jy and persnal achievement had been unlcked. Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can cme frm ding badly at smething new, and the pride that develps when yu finally manage t grasp smething yu’ve been wrking n.
While surfing might nt be my calling, trying it ut inspired me t take mre risks in life, t step utside f my cmfrt zne and t never stp believing in myself. Yu never knw what yu’re capable f if yu dn’t g ut there and try.
4. What mtivated the authr t jin the surf trip t Prtugal?
A. The desire t meet and enjy a challenge.
B. The pprtunity t imprve existing skills.
C. The need t recnnect with a high schl friend.
D. The chance t undertake wrk duties in Prtugal.
5. What is the authr’s view n adults fcusing n mastering ne field?
A. It narrws ne’s abilities.B. It is essential fr career success.
C. It disturbs ne’s wrk-life balance.D. It brings them the greatest pride.
6. Which f the fllwing wrds best describe the authr’s surfing experiences?
A. Tugh but rewarding.B. Cmmn and inspiring.
C. Dull and discuraging.D. Relaxing but unpredictable.
7. What wisdm des the authr want t express with the experience?
A. The imprtance f being an expert in ne field.

Music can really affect yur well-being, learning, quality f life, and even happiness. The fact that music can make a difficult task mre tlerable may be why students ften chse t listen t it while ding their hmewrk. But is listening t music the smart chice fr students wh want t imprve their learning? A new study suggests that fr sme students, listening t music is a wise strategy, but fr thers, it isn’t. The effect f music n cgnitive (认知的) functin appears t depend partly n yur persnality — specifically, n yur need fr external stimulatin (刺激).
Researchers nt nly assessed listeners’ persnality but als changed the difficulty f the task and the cmplexity f the music. Participants first cmpleted a persnality test used t determine the need fr external stimulatin. Then, they engaged in an easy cgnitive task (searching fr the letter A in lists f wrds) and a mre challenging ne (remembering wrd pairs) in rder. Participants finished bth tasks under ne f tw sund cnditins: (1) n music, (2) with music.
The data suggests that fr thse with a high need f external stimulatin, n the simple task f finding A’s, the scres fr the music cnditin were significantly wrse than thse fr the silent cnditin. On the cmplex task f learning wrd pairs, their perfrmance was wrse whenever music was played. Fr thse with a lw need f external stimulatin, hwever, n the simple task, such participants’ scres fr the music cnditin were much better than thse fr the silent cnditin. On the cmplex task f learning wrd pairs, the participants shwed a small but reliable benefit when listening t music.
Accrding t the study, there are individual differences in the impact f music n cgnitive functin. Students wh are easily bred and wh seek ut stimulatin shuld be cautius f adding music t the mix. On the ther hand, students with a lw need fr stimulatin may benefit significantly frm the presence f music.
With the right persnality, the right music and the right task, the presence f music may significantly imprve cgnitive functining. Given the benefits f music, subscriptin t Sptify will be rewarding!
8. What is the functin f the first paragraph?
A. T explain what is stimulatin.B. T lead int the tpic.
C. T make a predictin.D. T ffer sme advice.
9. What can we knw frm the prcess f the study?
A It is dne under ne and nly sund cnditin.
B. Participants nly need t cmplete a persnality test.
C. The difficulty f the tw tasks decreased in the experiment.
D. Participants were gruped by their needs fr external stimulatin.
10. What can we infer frm the result f the research?
A. The cmplexity f tasks might reduce the benefit f music.
B. Students shuld listen t music when perfrming cmplex tasks.
C. Students with less external stimulatin perfrm badly with music.
D. The presence f music benefits students wh seek fr external stimulatin.
11. What might the underlined wrd “Sptify” be?
A. A dictinary.
B. A psychlgy jurnal.
C. A music platfrm.
D. A persnality test.

“A beautiful field f flwers can be a rather nisy place. It’s just that we can’t hear the sunds.” Scientists at Tel Aviv University have cnducted a six-year experiment, prving that plants make nise in certain stressful situatins.
Plants prduce a high frequency (频率) clicking sund, and when shrt f water, r damaged, the clicks becme far mre regular. They als made different sunds, depending n whether they were thirsty r injured. “Each plant and each type f stress is related t a specific sund,” said Prfessr Lilach Hadany, wh led the research study.
Fcusing particularly n tmates, wheat and crn, the plants were placed in a sundprf(隔音的)rm and recrded by micrphnes. Sme plants were starved f water, thers cut, and a cntrl grup was left undamaged. The researchers used an algrithm (算法) t separate the nises, suecessfully telling the difference between the sunds depending n whether they were dry r cut. The algrithm did this in a greenhuse setting which included far mre surrunding sunds, but it was still able t recgnize the particular cries fr help f the plants.
On average, the human ear can hear sunds up t arund 20kHz, while the sunds prduced by plants are in the 40-80kHz regin, far beynd ur hearing. “The sunds made by plants can’t be heard by humans but can prbably be heard by varius animals, such as bats, mice and insects,” Hadany tells us. Thugh this has yet t be prven, it’s pssible that these creatures use this infrmatin t chse which plants t eat.
A study led by Reda Hassanien f China Agriculural University in Beijing years ag, als prved that plants reacted t sund waves, with sme plants greatly increasing their yield. While evidence shws that plants can react t sunds, there’s n evidence tday that they can actually hear them.
12. What can we knw frm the six-year experiment?
A. Plants f different types make the sund f the same frequeney.
B. Plants prduce mre regular sund in certain stressful situatins.
C. Plants make sunds with a much lwer frequency when stressed.
D. Plants make the sund f the same frequeney whatever the situatin.
13. What is the algrithm used fr in the research?
A. T recrd the sunds.B. T cntrl the sunds.
C. T prduce the sunds.D. T identify the sunds.
14. What has been prven by scientists accrding t the passage?
A. Plants can hear each ther’s cry fr help.
B. Animals can hear the sunds made by plants.
C. Plants can make sunds and respnd t sund waves.
D Animals decide what t eat based n the sunds plants make.
15. Which f the fllwing is the best title f the text?
A. Sunds That We Can’t Hear
B. Beautiful Sngs frm Plants
C. Plants React t Different Types f Stress
D. Plants Talk, Especially When Stressed

Alice sat in the car while palm trees seemed t speed by the car windw. Eight-year-ld Alice began t get nervus, the way she always did in new surrundings. She felt a thin shine f sweat abve her lip in spite f the car’s cl air. “The aquarium (水族馆) wn’t be crwded, I bet, and peple are ging t ntice me.

Alice felt her heart was tuched. She waved at Betty. Lking at Alice, Betty raised her flippers(鰭), came t her and lifted her head. “She’s swimming right int my arms,” Alice said tearfully. They made eye cntact. She seemed t be speaking t Alice: We’re the same.
Back hme, all Alice talked abut was Betty. Fr tw weeks, she cried and begged her mther t take her back t Clearwater.
