T the untrained eye，a pingpng ball is just a pingpng ball.T a Beverly Cleary fan，it's tw mtrcycle helmets fr mice.
Ever since I read Cleary's series abut Ralph，the mtrcycle-riding muse，I've never lked at a pingpng ball-r the wrld-the same way.Amazing t think that it's been mre than frty years since I checked ut The Muse and the Mtrcycle frm my schl library in Nrthprt，and yet that ne particular image is as clear t me as ever.
And why shuldn't it be？It's perfect.
Hw I wanted a muse f my wn t ride a ty mtrcycle arund my huse!Thanks t Cleary's genius，a talking muse friend seemed nt nly pssible but prbable.
While much f children's literature attempted t explain the wrld frm the pint f view f a wise and gentle adult，Cleary created characters wh saw the wrld as nly children can.With great interest，I read every bk that bre Beverly Cleary's name.She seemed like a friend wh understd me in ways I didn't yet understand myself.
I've written eight children's bks and have always kept Beverly's sense f wnder in mind.I dn't remember at exactly what age I decided I wanted t write bks，but I knw that by secnd r third grade，my teacher assigned a prject that allwed us t fcus n whatever we wanted.My best friend picked dlphins；I chse children's authrs，with a large chunk f my prject being abut wh else？Beverly Cleary!
I tld that stry recently t a schl grup.One f the students said，"That's fantastic!Yu did yur prject n children's authrs and then yu became ne!"
"Yes，" I said. "And my best friend wh did her prject n dlphins-became a dlphin!"
"Really？" the students said in chrus.
And that perfectly sums up why I lve writing fr children：the belief that fantastic，magical things can happen.Best friends can becme dlphins；mice can ride ty mtrcycles and becme ur friends.
That's what Beverly Clealy taught me.In the hands f a gifted stryteller，anything is s very funny.
4.The Muse and the Mtrcycle impressed the authr mainly because ______ .
A. it recrded animals' life
B. it revealed the wisdm f life
C. it encuraged children t raise pets
D. it described the wrld frm children's eyes
5.When learning the authr's friend became a dlphin，the students felt ______ .

Millins f migratry （迁徙的） birds ccupy seasnally favrable breeding （繁殖） grunds in the Arctic，but scientists knw little abut the frmatin，maintenance and future f the migratin rutes f Arctic birds and the genetic determinants f migratry diancce.In a new study，a multinatinal team f researchers under the leadership f Dr.ZHAN Xiangjiang frm the Institute f Zlgy f the Chinese Academy f Sciences integrated tw state-f-the-art techniques-satellite tracking and whle genme sequencing （基因排序） - and established a cntinental-scale migratin system f peregrine falcns in Eurasian Arctic.
The researchers tracked 56 peregrine falcns frm six Eurasian Arctic breeding ppulatins and sequenced 35 genmes frm fur f these ppulatins t study the migratin f this species.They fund that the birds used five migratin rutes acrss Eurasia，prbably established between the last Ice Age -22，000 years ag and the middle-Hlcene 6，000 years ag. "Peregrine falcns initiated their autumn migratin mainly in September，and arrived at their wintering areas mainly in Octber， " said Prfessr Mike Brufrd，an eclgist at Cardiff University. "Peregrine falcns that depart frm different breeding grunds use different rutes，and winter at widely distributed sites acrss fur distinct regins.Individual birds that were tracked fr mre than ne year exhibited strng path repeatability during migratin，cmplete lyalty t wintering lcatins and limited breeding dispersal. "
The researchers quantified the migratin strategies and fund that migratin distance is the mst significant differentiatin.They used whle genme sequencing and fund a gene-ADCY8，which is knwn t be invlved in lng-term memry in ther animals in previus research - assciated with differences in migratry distance.They fund ADCY8 had a variant at high frequency in lng-distance migrant ppulatins f peregrine falcns，indicating this variant is being favrably selected because it may increase pwers f lng-term memry thught t be essential fr lng-distance migratin.
"Previus studies have identified several candidate genmic regins that may regulate migratin - but ur wrk is the strngest demnstratin f a specific gene assciated with migratry behavir yet identified，" Prfessr Brufrd said.The researchers further lked at mdels f likely future migratin behavir t predict the impact f glbal warming.If the climate warms at the same rate as it has in recent decades，they predict peregrine ppulatins in western Eurasia have the highest prbability f ppulatin decline and may stp migrating altgether.
"Our wrk is the first t begin t understand the way eclgical factrs may interact in migratry birds， " said Dr.ZHAN Xiangjiang. "We hpe it will serve as a crnerstne t help cnserve migratry species in the wrld. "
7.What can we learn frm the first tw paragraphs？ ______
A. Five birds' histrical migratin rutes were rebuilt.
B. Peregrine falcns stick t the areas where they winter.
C. Tw nvel research methds f migratin were invented.
D. Peregrine falcns leave fr Arctic regins in September.
8.What can we infer abut ADCY8？ ______
A. It is a newly-discvered gene in the new study.
B. It serves as a fundamental part f lng-distance migratin.
C. It culd be strengthened by the pwer f lng-term memry.
D. It turned ut t be mre favred by birds than the ther animals.
9.What is special abut the new study？ ______
A. It has discvered a new genmic regin f birds.
B. It has predicted the rate at which the climate warms.
C. It analyses the reasns fr the decrease f peregrine falcns.

D
Search "txic parents", and yu'll find mre than 38,000 psts, largely urging yung adults t cut ties with their families. The idea is t safeguard ne's mental health frm abusive parents. Hwever, as a psychanalyst, I've seen that trend in recent years becme a way t manage cnflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement has n bth sides f the divide. This is a self-help trend that creates much harm.
Research by Karl Pillemer, a prfessr at Crnell University, indicates that 1 in 4 American adults have becme estranged frm their families. I believe that's an undercunt, because thers have stpped shrt f cmpletely cutting ff cntact but have effectively brken the ties.
"Canceling" yur parent can be seen as an extensin f a cultural trend aimed at crrecting imbalances in pwer and systemic inequality. Certainly the family is ne system in which pwer has never been balanced. In 1933, the psychanalyst Sándr Ferenczi warned that even the simple indicatin that smene has mre pwer than we d culd ptentially be damaging.
Tday's scial justice values respnd t this reality, calling n us t criticize ppressive and harmful figures and t gain pwer fr thse wh have been pwerless. But when adult children use the mst effective tl they have—themselves—t gain a sense f security and ban their parents frm their lives, the rles are simply switched, and the pain nly deepens.
Often, what I see in my practice are cases f family cnflict mismanaged, pwer dynamics turned upside dwn rather than negtiated. I see the terrible effect f that trend; situatins with n winners, nly islated humans wh lng t be knwn and feel safe in the presence f the ther.
The catch is that after estrangement, adult children are nt suddenly less dependent. In fact, they feel abandned and betrayed, because in the uncnscius, it desn't matter wh is ding the leaving; the feeling that remains is "being left". They carry the ghsts f their childhd, tackling the emtinal reality that thse wh raised us can never truly be left behind, n matter hw hard we try.
What I have fund is that mst f these families need repair, nt permanent break-up. Hw else can ne learn hw t negtiate needs, t create bundaries and t trust? Hw else can we lve thers, and urselves, if nt thrugh accepting the limitatins that cme with being human? Gd relatinships are the result nt f a perfect level f harmny but rather f successful adjustments.
T pursue dialgue instead f estrangement will be hard and painful wrk. It can't be a single prject f "self-help", because at the end f the day, real intimacy（亲密关系）is achieved by wrking thrugh the injuries f the past tgether. In mst cases f family cnflict, repair is pssible and preferable t estrangement—and it's wrth the wrk.
11.Why d yung peple cut ties with the family?
A. T gain an independent life.
B. T restre harmny in the family.
C. T prtect their psychlgical well-being.
D. T fllw a tendency twards scial justice.
12.What des the underlined wrd "catch" in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Respnse.B. Prblem.C. Operatin.D. Emphasis.
13.T manage family cnflict, the authr agrees that yung adults shuld ______.
A. break dwn bundaries
B. gain pwer within the family
C. live up t their parents' expectatins
D. accept imperfectin f family members
14.What's the authr's purpse f writing the passage?
A. T advcate a self-help trend.
B. T justify a cmmn scial value.
C. T argue against a current practice.
D. T discuss a means f cmmunicatin.

31.Yu might nt have heard f the "fresh start effect"，but if yu've ever made a New Year's reslutin，yu're familiar with it.It refers t the human tendency t take actin twards achieving a gal after a special ccasin r key date has passed.
The fresh start effect is simple.Mst peple want t imprve themselves in sme way.When we hit imprtant milestnes，we're ften likely t reflect：are we where we thught we'd be by a certain age？Was this year a successful year，r did we waste it？Annual landmarks like birthdays，r the start f a new year，signify a new time perid and an pprtunity t leave slip-ups behind and t set new gals fr better behavir.
Research shws that anticipatin f a new beginning is a key mtivatr fr the fresh start effect.Fr example，peple aged 29，39，49 etc.were 48% mre likely t run a marathn fr the first time.When they were appraching a new decade，they were mre likely t search fr meaning in their lives and try t imprve themselves.The reasn is simple.When we see ur past self as separate frm ur current self，we feel it easier t intrduce new gals and take actin.
What's interesting abut the fresh start effect is that we dn't need t wait fr big milestnes t take advantage f this sudden dse f mtivatin.Studies shw that the first day f each mnth and even each week can als inspire us.These days，knwn as "tempral landmarks"，encurage us t step back and evaluate ur current situatin.And when we d this，we gain the mtivatin t be better：we becme mre driven and mre prductive.That is why peple are mre likely t stall diets r exercise plans n Mnday，rather than the next day.
Fresh starts are exciting pprtunities t learn frm yur mistakes and mve frward.S if yu're currently experiencing lss f mtivatin，questining the meaning f yur wrk，r just feel like yu're stuck in a rut，why dn't yu use the fresh start effect in yur wn life？
(1) Accrding t the passage，what is "fresh start effect"？ ______
(2) Why is it that anticipatin f a new beginning is a key mtivatr fr the fresh start effect？ ______
(3) Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement，then underline it and explain why. ______
A fresh start like the first day f each week is a time when we frget abut ur mistakes and mve frward.
(4) Besides the fresh start effect，in what ther ways d yu mtivate yurself in yur life？（In abut 40 wrds） ______
