This Is Why Mst Grcery Stres Lack Windws
When yu’re grcery shpping, have yu nticed that supermarkets ften lack windws, and if they have them, they’re nly at the frnt f the stre? Yu may 31 pay attentin t the architectural features f the building because yu’re there t shp fr fd, nt admire the layut.
But that’s the pint. If grcery stres had windws, wuld it be easier t ignre yur main shpping task? There are all srts f supermarket 32 grcery stres have t keep yu shpping lnger. It’s n 33 that grcery stres ften lack windws and there are a few reasns behind this trend.
One f them is a (n) 34 t keep peple inside lnger. Stres want t create a separate envirnment within their stre where the utside wrld desn’t exist. In spite f the rain r sunshine, yur attentin remains 35 . The technique als prevents shppers frm nticing it’s getting dark ut. It really 36 t an immersive (沉浸式的) shpping experience, fr better r wrse.
Keeping daylight ut f stres can help preserve the prducts, as sme fresh prduce can g bad faster in direct sunlight. T much sun expsure can even cause packaging 37 t fade. Having windws in stres wuld als reduce the space 38 t display prducts. Nt t mentin, 39 with strng structural supprts, utside walls can hld the heavier items n the shelves f thse walls.
Due t the high cst f cnstructing windws and strefrnts, alng with the ptential security risks they prbably 40 , retailers (零售商) chse t minimize the number f entry pints int their space in rder t cut expenses and imprve safety.
III.Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Scial media can be a cnvenient way t extend yur netwrk, staying in tuch with yur grandma r sharing phts f yur new puppy. 41 , scial media can be terrible fr yur health. It’s ur 42 f it that’s ut f cntrl.
British evlutinary psychlgist Rbin Dunbar develped the idea that 150 peple is the maximum number f meaningful cnnectins anyne can have. Yu may have 800 friends n Wechat, but yu’re nt 43 them in persn. Yur QQ cnnectins may be vast, but hw many f them d yu have 44 interactins with?
If yu’re using scial media t feel mre cnnected, a recent study published in the American Jurnal f Health Prmtin suggests that it’s nt 45 , and it als brught abut unfavrable cnnectins and even depressin. Psitive interactins n scial media dn’t help peple feel 46 . Negative interactins, n the ther hand, bring mre feelings f sadness. The same ges fr 47 , which scial media encurages. Anther study, published by the American Psychlgical Assciatin, shws that cmparing yurself t thers thrugh scial media als prduces 48 effects, leading t symptms f depressin.
Reaching fr yur cell phne as a mental break is als a (n) 49 idea. Research by Rutgers University cmpared participants in the prcess f cmpleting a task wh tk a break with their cell phnes, with paper and pencils, and wh tk n break at all. Thse wh used their cell phnes during their break slved 22% fewer prblems and tk 19% lnger t cmplete their tasks than thse under the ther tw 50 .
S hw shuld yu 51 yur scial media usage?
First, knw yur time and 52 f use. Use the tracking functin n yur device t find ut hw much yu’re using it and what yu’re using it fr. After this, get away frm yur device unless yu have t use it. Tugh as it might be, turn ff and tune int the wrld arund yu.
Then, be in charge f yur 53 , rather than let it be in charge f yu. Yur phne’s rings r vibratins (震动) dn’t mean yu must respnd t them. Remind yurself that yu’re in charge, nt yur device r the peple n the ther end f it wh’ve just cntacted yu.
Finally, cnsider using yur device as a (n) 54 builder. Use yur apps t find yur friends and make yur dinner reservatin s yu can catch up face-t-face in yur favrite restaurant, where yu’ll keep yur phne ut f sight.
When yu’re in cntrl f yur 55 , scial media becmes a tl t enrich yur life but nt a distractin that makes yu feel miserable.

(A)
As midnight appraches in Svalbard, a yung plar bear climbs nt an iceberg (冰山) and carves himself a temprary bed befre falling asleep. This peaceful mment, capturing the essence f Earth’s delicacy, was taken by Nima Sarikhani, wh wn Wildlife Phtgrapher f the Year Peple’s Chice Award, which is decided by public vte.
Sarikhani, frm the UK, spent three days searching Nrway’s Svalbard islands in the hpe f catching sight f these symblic Arctic (北极的) animals.

These days, the sight f a lne plar bear n melting ice is a familiar symbl f the impact f climate change. But that is fr a gd reasn: glbal warming is having a particularly rapid effect n the Arctic, which is heating up at a rate three times as high as that f the average arund the wrld. Amng thse hardest hit are these bears, which are increasingly threatened by the reductin in sea ice cver that they rely n t hunt and raise yung.
Thugh his pht is intended t aruse emtin in thse wh see it, Sarikhani is ptimistic that with the right actins, it isn’t t late fr plar bears. The image will be displayed in an exhibitin at the Natural Histry Museum, Lndn, alng with the cmpetitin’s fur runners-up, until 30 June.

(C)
Cnventinally, being verweight is bad fr health. This may nt always be the case. The latest evidence cmes frm a study in which peple classed as verweight, but nt extremely fat, had a lwer death rate within a certain perid than peple with a suppsedly ideal weight. This suggests that the threshld (阈值) fr classifying individuals as verweight may have been set t lw.
It is uncntrversial that being very heavy is bad fr health, but it is unclear at what pint health risks begin. Dctrs usually ad vise peple t lse weight if their Bdy Mass Index (BMI) is high, which is calculated by dividing a persn’s weight in kilgrams by the square f their height in meters. In mst cuntries, a healthy weight is defined as a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9.Having a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is classed as verweight and 30 and abve as extremely fat.
Previus research made waves when it fund that peple whse BMI was smewhat ver the “healthy” threshld f 25 may have a slightly lwer death rate than slimmer individuals. But many f the studies are fairly ld and were dne when peple were mstly slimmer, and subjects weren’t racially diverse, says Aayush Visaria, a researcher in New Jersey.
T address thse issues, Visaria tracked the survival f abut 500,000 racially diverse US adults f knwn height and weight fr up t 20 years. Having a BMI between 25 and 27.4 carried a 5 percent lwer risk f death in this perid than a BMI within the healthy categry f 22.5 t 24.9. A slightly higher BMI, f 27.5 t 29.9, seemed even better, linked with a 7 percent lwer risk f death.
One criticism is that the apparent benefit f being verweight culd be a miscnceptin, as peple wh lse weight due t illness are mre likely t die. Hwever, in the new research, the pattern persisted even if peple wh died within tw years f entering the study were ruled ut frm the figures.
Visaria says it’s t early t cnclude that having an “verweight” BMI utperfrms being in the healthy categry, because ppulatin studies may be prejudiced and lead t misinterpretatin f the results. “We aren’t certain if this is truly interpretable,” he says. “A mre apprpriate message is that BMI isn’t a gd indicatr f death risk—ther factrs, like bdy fat distributin, als play a rle.”
( )63.The purpse f the first paragraph is t ______.
A.put frward a cntrversial issue
B.discuss reasns fr a lwer death rate
C.reveal a finding that questins a cmmn belief
D.justify the traditinal “verweight” threshld
( )64.Accrding t paragraph 3 and 4, Visaria reslved the limitatins f previus research by ______.
A.arriving at a mre specific finding
B.tracking the research fr anther 20 years
C.calming dwn a wave f criticism frm the crwd
D.adpting a large, diverse sample ver an extended perid
( )65.Accrding t the passage, “the pattern” in paragraph 5 refers t ______.
A.the miscnceptin abut the benefit f being verweight
B.the increased likelihd f death fr individuals lsing weight due t illness
C.the changing perceptin f BMI classificatin ver time
D.the lwer risk f death fr slightly heavier persns in a set time cmpared t slimmer nes
( )66.Which f the fllwing can be inferred frm the passage?
A.Weight and bld pressure are tw primary factrs related t BMI.
B.T accurately reflect smene’s health risk, a brader view is necessary.
C.Visaria will cntinue t figure ut a mre scientific BMI threshld.
D.Visaria is cnfident f the reliability f his research.
Sectin C
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
A.Fr example, they usually pint at a bx and say “pen”.
B.Yu shuld be mindful f the ptential impact f gestures.
C.Make fake gestures n certain ccasins if necessary.
D.Here are sme tips that can help yu take advantage f gestures.
E.This can give yu a way f seeing what thers are thinking but nt saying.
F.Gesturing while learning will als help them slve the same prblem in a new way.
Tuning in t Gestures
Gesture gets its pwer in part frm the fact that it is seldm nticed by the speaker r listener yet is easily understd and included in ur cnversatins. The challenge is t use it t gd effect. 67
Gesture mre when yu speak. It will help yu learn and understand, and als think in a mre abstract way. If yu gesture while talking, yu will remember mre f what yu have said. D it while yu are multitasking and it will lighten yur mental lad. What’s mre, when yu gesture, the peple arund yu tend t d s t. 68
Encurage gestures in yur children, students and anyne else yu are trying t teach. This will help them understand the material yu are cnveying. 69 That is imprtant because being able t generalise what we learn is essential t acquiring new knwledge.
Pay attentin t ther peple’s gestures. These ffer a windw int the thughts that speakers have but dn’t express in their wrds. These thughts are ften at the cutting-edge f their knwledge r address issues that are uppermst in their minds. Nticing and respnding t such gestures will imprve yur interactins at hme and at wrk.
Observe the gesturing f infants (婴儿). While learning t talk, children typically cnvey sentence-like meanings in a cmbinatin f gesture and speech befre using wrds alne. 70 If a child fails t prduce these gesture-wrd cmbinatins, it may be a sign that their spken language develpment will be delayed, allwing yu t intervene and help.
IV.Summary Writing
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint (s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
What Is a Superirity Cmplex?
A superirity cmplex is a behavir that suggests a persn believes they are smehw superir t thers. Peple with this cmplex ften have verstated pinins f themselves. They may believe their abilities and achievements are better than thse f thers. Hwever, the cmplex is believed t be a defense system fr feelings f inadequacy that we all struggle with.
It is unclear why a persn develps a superirity cmplex. Multiple incidents may be the rt cause. Fr example, it may be the result f many failures. A persn tries t cmplete a specific gal r achieve a desired utcme, but they dn’t succeed. They learn t handle the anxiety and stress f the failure by pretending t be abve it. If they feel prtected frm their failures in this way, they may repeat this behavir in the future.
These behavirs can begin at an early age. When a child is learning t cpe with challenges, they may learn t cntrl feelings f inadequacy r fear. A superirity cmplex may develp. Likewise, it may als happen later in life. As teens and adults, a persn has many pprtunities t try new things amng new peple. If these situatins are nt successfully cped with, a persn may develp a superirity cmplex t vercme feeling islated.
Peple with a superirity cmplex are unlikely t be a threat t anyne’s physical health. Hwever, the cntinuus lies and verstatements can becme annying t thers and may negatively affect relatinships. It can push away ther peple in yur life and shrink yur scial circle. If yu are in a relatinship with a persn wh yu think has the issue, encurage the persn t seek help. Fr example, never hesitate t reach ut t mental health prfessinals. They can find healthier ways t deal with hidden feelings.

The dynamic city f New Yrk is hme t a hidden treasure f histry. Once a railway track receiving little attentin, the High Line has been transfrmed int a quiet urban place, ffering a unique perspective f the city frm abve. The park is lined with beautiful gardens, artistic displays, and walking paths, attracting millins f visitrs each year.
But the histry f the High Line ges back much further than its transfrmatin int a park. Built in the 1930s, the High Line was riginally used t transprt gds between factries and industrial facilities alng Manhattan’s West Side. Hwever, with the rise f trucking in the mid-20th century, the railway fell int disuse and was abandned by the 1980s.
It wasn’t until the early 2000s that the idea f turning the High Line int a public park gained ppularity.
