On a cludy Saturday mrning in July, a team f 15—all ver age 65, all wmen—hunts fr trash acrss Mares Pnd n Cape Cd, at depths f up t 8 feet.
These are the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG). Since 2017, the grup has made it its missin t remve trash frm pnds acrss Cape Cd.
The grup's existence is wed t Susan Baur, a retired psychlgist. A lifelng nature lver, she had begun swimming in pnds n the cape as a safer chice t the cean. Seeing the grwing garbage in the pnd, in 2017, she runded up tw friends and apprached a stranger with a kayak (皮艇), and tgether they cleared the litter frm a pnd. Sn thers jined them.
While many utsiders have expressed their gratitude t OLAUG fr cleaning up the pnds, a number have questined why they refer t themselves as“ ld ladies”. Althugh she admits that it wasn't initially a cnscius chice, she nw believes that the “ld lady” identity is an extremely imprtant part f what the grup is abut.
“Over 65, if yu're healthy enugh t d what we're ding, it is the age f thankfulness, ”Baur says. She ntes that “wmen ver 65 tend t feel the limitatin f aging.” They lse pwer and scial standing, she says. Part f the
gal f OLAUG is t shw that lder wmen, wrking as a team, can d a lt mre than peple might think.
Criticism aside, the mst cmmn respnse is “I want t jin yu.” And after that first dive, the new members' excitement is easily seen.
“They have just swum farther than they've ever swum. They've seen what they've never seen. And they've dne gd,” says Baur. “They cme back with their hearts beating.”
24. What can we learn abut OLAUG?

Listening t music r playing an instrument can delay cgnitive (认知的) decline as we age – by prducing grey matter in the brain – a new study shws. Taken altgether, the scientists believe that while musical interventins (干预) cannt refresh the brain, they can prevent aging in specific regins, specifically in peple with n musical backgrund wh start playing in their senir years.
As the brain ages, it lses sme f its wrking memry which describes the kind f mental effrt needed t remember a whle phne number lng enugh t be able t reach the pen and paper t write it dwn, r translate a sentence frm a freign language. A team frm the University f Geneva wanted t see hw much the musical field culd prevent this lss f wrking memry assciated with age-related cgnitive decline.
The researchers fllwed ver 100 retired peple wh had never practiced music befre. They were registered in pian and music awareness training fr six mnths. The participants were randmly assigned t tw grups, regardless f their mtivatin t play an instrument. One grup was asked t play the pian while the ther grup had active listening lessns, which fcused n instrument recgnitin and analysis f musical prperties in a wide range f musical styles. The classes lasted ne hur. Participants in bth grups were required t d hmewrk fr half an hur a day.
‘‘After six mnths, we fund cmmn effects fr bth interventins. There is an increase in grey matter in fur brain regins invlved in high-level cgnitive functining in all participants. They als resulted in an increase in wrking memry perfrmance by 6% and a ttal reductin in grey matter lss in the pian playing grup,’’ says Clara James, ne authr f the study.
These results shw that practicing and listening t music prmtes cgnitive reserve. The authrs f the study believe that these playful and accessible interventins shuld becme a majr plicy pririty fr healthy aging.

A. It will get weak with brain aging.
B. It is related t bdy mvements.
C. It is a kind f lng-term memry.
D. It can benefit the musical field.
29. What did participants d in the study?

A. The musical interventins had n effects.
B. Grey matter was increased after the training.
C. Wrking memry perfrmed wrse than befre.
D. Grey matter lss was ttally reduced in bth grups.
31. What is the text mainly abut?

Quantum (量子) physics is the study f matter and energy at mlecular (分子的) and micrscpic levels. It has caused a lt f arguments in recent years as it’s nt nly criticizing cmmnly held laws f physics but als ffering new pssibilities and breakthrughs in science as well as suggestins fr adjusting human behavir.
“Quantum” is als a Latin wrd meaning “hw much” and it’s this definitin that sufficiently describes the science f quantum physics, fr it measures very small thing. The study f physics is a relatively new field; in fact, many discveries were made by Albert Einstein at the beginning f the twentieth century. But as scientists gained technlgy t measure with better precisin the phenmena that were happening in the universe, they discvered strange ccurrences. Whereas there were laws f physics gverning large bdies f matter, these laws didn’t apply t subatmic (亚原子) material. They saw that the act f bserving smething influences its physical prcesses and what directin it will g int, causing the universe nt t be a predictable place, but ne filled with a series f prbabilities.
Quantum physics was at first met with a great deal f debate and even Einstein develped sme theries that criticized this new science. Quantum physicists, hwever, came up with sme mre theries that in turn prved t be mre useful than Einstein’s incrrect theries and led t quantum physics being accepted as a science.
Because quantum physics states that reality is relative, it has becme a new philsphy that appeals t many peple. Stating that they are in cntrl f what happens in their lives, supprters f quantum physics say that by visualizing smething t be true, this prcess increases the prbability f it happening in their lives. Wrkshps, mtivatinal bks, and mvies have been made n this subject, using sme f the ideas f quantum physics as the backbne f their teachings and assumptins.
32. What can we learn abut quantum physics frm paragraph 1?
A. It studies large bdies f matter.
B. It is universally accepted nwadays.
C. It may cause great scientific changes.
D. It will change human behavir cmpletely.
33. Hw did scientists discver the strange ccurrences?
A. By wrking with Einstein.
B. By using precise technlgy.
C. By studying laws f physics.
D. By bserving physical prcesses.
34. What is Einstein’s attitude tward quantum physics?
A. Unclear. B. Oppsing. C. Tlerant. D. Objective.
35. Supprters f quantum physics believe ________.
A. it is an ld scientific belief
B. it is very easy t understand
C. they can cntrl their lives
D. they can make prfits n it

Many animal ppulatins seem t be decreasing sharply. 36 It is America’s native wd strk (木鹳).
The wd strk is the nly strk that breeds in Nrth America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its ppulatin drpped t just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird wuld be cmpletely wiped ut by 2000. 37 The Fish and Wildlife Service is prpsing a delisting (移除) f the wd strk as an endangered species. S hw did the ppulatin bunce back?
38 The wd strk’s native hme was in the Everglades in Flrida, but it migrated nrth as the Everglades were being destryed by develpment. In 1987, frmer Savannah Castal Refuges bilgist Jhn Rbinette nticed strk nests in Gergia, as strk ppulatins mved t safer wetlands.
Accrding t Stephanie Kurse, a senir plicy specialist at the Centre fr Bilgical Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is als t thank fr this recvery. She said, “The act saved the wd strk. 39 It has imprved water quality and benefited cuntless ther species wh call the area hme.”
The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent f the species that were n the list since 1973. A hundred types f plants and animals have been delisted as their ppulatins becme stable again. If the wd strk is delisted, it will remain prtected by ther laws. 40
A. Tday, it numbers 10, 000 mating pairs.
B. Hwever, ne species is mving in the ppsite directin.
C. The success is in part dwn t the flexibility f the wd strk.
D. It helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats thrughut the sutheast.
E. The birds have adapted t new nesting areas and enlarged their clnies.
F. It serves as an indicatr species fr restratin f the Everglades ecsystem.
G. A mnitring plan will be put in place t ensure the ppulatin remains stable.
