On Nvember 2, 2021, my friend Lu messaged me with a challenge: “Amy and I are nt buying any new clthes fr a year…” My immediate reply was, “Definitely!” This might nt be what peple wh knw me wuld expect. As a child, I nce invited a girl t my birthday party just because I had seen her in a beautiful dress. My lve fr fashin has cntinued int adulthd.
Hwever, I am als aware f the significant issues in the fashin industry: it’s highly plluting. There’s als the prblem f waste, with the West ften dumping(丢弃) unwanted clthing in ther regins.
S, when the invitatin appeared, it seemed like the perfect pprtunity t reset my relatinship with clthes.
The year pushed me t embrace better habits. I've always enjyed lking fr secnd-hand items, but when my nly pair f trainers brke in an unfixable way, I urgently needed a replacement. The Vinted app helped me find ne almst as quickly as buying new.
I put mre effrt int making clthes. Yu quickly realize the labr invlved nce yu start making shrts by yurself. Besides, remving the ease f buying new pushed me twards fixing instead, thugh a lw pint was taking a much-lved pair f shes t a cbbler(修鞋匠), nly t be tld it’d be “cheaper t buy new”.
Even thugh the year is fficially ver, I’m hping t carry n with what I’ve learned. I’m trying t cnsume less verall, with a ne in, ne ut’ rule with clthes. I’ve been nting dwn what clthes I wear each day, and whether I get 30 wears ut f it (said t be the amunt f times necessary t balance ut the carbn emissins(排放) created t make a piece f clthing).
These appraches are what wrk. fr me. But there are lads f different ways t d a fashin challenge. Hw useful, challenging, r appealing an apprach sunds will vary frm individual t individual. Whatever yu d, rping in friends is recmmended. They keep yu mtivated; they can als share ideas, and pssibly clthes!
24. Why did the authr accept the challenge f nt buying clthes fr ne year?
A. She accepted the challenge t satisfy her friend.
B. She was cncerned abut the threat f fashin industry.
C. She thught this wuld slve the prblem f pllutin.
D. She had had enugh f her deep cnnectin with fashin.
25. Hw did the authr feel when tld it wuld be “cheaper t buy new”?
A. Shcked.B. Discuraged.C. Frightened.D. Cnfused.
26. What des the number “30”in paragraph 6 mean?
A. The authr has been sticking t a 30-item clthing limit.
B. A piece f clthing f gd quality can be wrm at least 30 times.
C. The authr wuld wear a piece f clthing 30 times fr envirnmental reasns.
D. If a piece f clthing was wrn 30 times, n carbn emissin wuld be prduced.
27. What is paragraph 7 mainly abut?
A. Suggestins the authr gives t readers.
B. The rle f friends in achieving success.
C. Uniqueness f the authr's wn experience.
D. The change in the way the authr views fashin.

Have yu ever frgtten a lunch date and std up a gd friend? This can be embarrassing and might indicate that yur memry isn't as sharp as befre. Hw can we imprve ur memry? Accrding t Charan Ranganath’s bk, Why We Remember, there are many strategies.
Taking gd care f ur physical bdies will imprve ur brain health generally, and s imprve memry, says Ranganath. But we can als use the nature f memry t make certain memries stand ut.
Events are mre memrable when they are nvel. S, if we want t draw n a memry later, we can fcus mre n unexpected things in an experience. Fr example, ging t a new restaurant with yur partner will make the experience mre memrable than ging t ne where yu ften dine.
When it cmes t learning, we can use special tricks. Fr example, we can use the phrase “King Philip came ver fr gd spaghetti(意大利面)” t remember bilgical classificatin: kingdm(界), phylum(门), class(纲), rder(目), family(科), genus(属), species(种).
Hwever, memry is nt just abut recalling. It is subjective and can change ver time because ur brains recnstruct memries each time we recall them. “Each time we revisit the past in ur minds, we bring present infrmatin that can invisibly, and even dramatically change ur memries,” says Ranganath.
Factrs like hw recently smething happened, hw much smething is repeated, and hw we are feeling at the time will change hw well we recall a memry. Als, the peple arund us can affect ur memry fr an event, by either sharing their wn memry r by their expectatins f hw an event shuld be remembered. That's why tw peple witnessing a street fight may see different things ccurring, but eventually cme t have similar memries abut what happened. Their memries influence each ther, mre s if they talk it thrugh after the fact.
While we can use ur memry t remember imprtant lessns frm life, we must als be humble. By understanding the way memry wrks, we can learn t strengthen it fr the things we need t knw and t avid sme f the pitfalls.
28. Which f the fllwing actins can enhance the memrability f an event?
A. Repeating a familiar rutine.B. Experiencing smething new.
C. Engaging in physical activities.D. Fcusing n everyday ccurrences.
29. Why des the authr mentin “King Pilip came ver fr gd spaghetti?
A. T highlight the unreliability f ur memry.
B. T illustrate hw easily memries are frgtten.
C. T demnstrate a memry aid technique fr recalling.
D. T help readers remember the rder f bilgical classificatin.
30. What can we learn abut the prcess f recalling memries frm paragraph 6?
A. Memries change ur feelings when recalled.
B. Memries remain permanently fixed ver time.
C. Memries becme mre detailed with recalling.
D. Memries may change after the event is discussed.
31. What might be the best title fr the passage?
A. Why d we frget imprtant dates?
B. Hw d we recnstruct memry ver time?
C. Hw can we imprve and understand ur memry?
D. Why d we remember certain events mre than thers?
D
The cnventinal language f career success mves in nly ne directin: up. If yu really succeed, yu reach the tp. But there is anther type f career path. Sideways mves withut a prmtin r a pay rise, can be a benefit t emplyees and rganizatins alike.
A study carried ut by Dnald Sull f the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy and his c-authrs in 2021 fund that the availability f lateral(横向的) career pprtunities has a marked impact n keeping emplyees. When they decided whether t stay in the cmpany r nt, chances t mve sideways were tw and a half times mre imprtant than pay. Anther paper, by Xin Jin f the University f Suth Flrida and Michael Waldman f Crmell University, cncluded that lateral mves did nt just benefit rganizatins: emplyees wh experienced them were mre likely t be prmted and t enjy higher wage grwth later in their careers than emplyees wh did nt. Yu can mve up by first mving sideways.
The crab-like(螃蟹般的) career has ther things ging fr it. One is that it is a gd way t learn new things. As hiring prcesses increasingly emphasize skills, emplyers are likely t put cmparatively less emphasis n CVs and cmparatively mre weight n what yu knw. Messrs Jin and Waldman reasn that the upper ranks f cmpanies tend t be peple whse capabilities are brad, nt deep; that may explain why lateral mves are gd fr prmtin prspects. Alng with skills cme cntacts. Transferring between teams usually means building a bigger internal netwrk. Opening the dr t mre lateral mves is partly a practical matter. Sme bigger emplyers have “internal talent marketplaces” in which emplyees can find and apply fr jbs elsewhere in the cmpany; smaller firms have fewer such pprtunities t ffer.
Embracing sideways mvement als requires the right attitude. Lts f managers like t keep talent t themselves, at the expense f wrkers and firms. And mving sideways still has less cachet(声望) than mving upwards. Mst peple find it nt s easy t accept.
32. Hw des the authr develp paragraph 2?
A. By telling persnal stries.B. By prviding research findings.
C. By cmparing different career paths.D. By making remarks n scientific reprts.
33. What des the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Lateral mves invlve gaining new skills.
B. Lateral mves are mainly fr netwrking purpses.
C. Transferring between teams leads t a larger netwrk.
D. Cntacts are mre imprtant than skills in lateral mves.
34. What d many managers think f lateral career mves?
A. They are a way t keep talent within the cmpany.
B. They are seen as a threat t the manager’s wn psitins.
C. They culd ptentially lead t talent lss within the team.
D. They culd cntribute t the cmpany's grwth in the lng run.
35. Wh may embrace lateral mves?
A. Bsses wh value shrt-term prfits.
B. Emplyees wh are eager fr mre skills.
C. Managers wh appreciate lng-term stability.
D. Jb hunters wh are interested in smaller firms.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There’s a belief that it is inadvisable t have plants in the bedrm. The cncern is abut hw plants breathe. While plants take in carbn dixide and release xygen in the day, at night this is the ppsite. 36 But t tell whether sharing ur bedrm with ur plants is a risk t health,
we have t cnsider three things.
37 This is tricky t answer as it depends n everything frm species t light levels and even rm temperature, Als, there's nt much research n the exact measurements in indr settings. Thankfully, in 2015, researchers at Turkey’s Kastamnu University fund that huseplants like ficus(榕树) and yuccas(丝兰), when sealed(密封) in glass bxes, absrb between six and eight times as much CO2 in the day as they emit at night. This results in a significant net reductin ver a full day.
Secndly, we shuld cmpare the impact f plants n air quality with that f ther ptential cmpetitrs, such as a partner, A single human breath cntains arund 40.000ppm f CO2, mre than 10 times the effect a plant culd have in 8 hurs. 38 Als, cnsider this. Indr plants grw in less light than they wuld ideally get in nature. S, they phtsynthesize(光合作用) at a lwer rate. This further reduces their impact n air quality.
Finally, it is bvius that we dn't live in the sealed bxes in which these studies are carried ut. 39 Even ur mvements can influence its flw.
In cnclusin, the plant effect in ur hmes is very small in many ways. 40 If sleeping near plants were bad fr yur health, camping in a frest wuld be definitely deadly.
A. Firstly, hw d plants breathe at night?
B. S enjy huseplants whenever yu like.
C. Firstly, d plants emit mre CO2 at night?
D. Camping can be a gd escape if yu are wrried.
E. This means they cmpete with us fr air when we sleep.
F. Indr air is cnstantly exchanged thrugh drs and windws.
G. S yu might want t send yur partner away befre yur plants.

Yu keep secrets frm each ther; yu keep secrets frm yurselves. Secrets 41 yu; secrets drive yu apart. Keeping a secret can be a burden, while sharing secrets can be a 42 , whether it’s with yur ld friend r a supprtive family member.
Fr children, learning t keep secrets is a(n) 43 milestne. In ne study, researchers asked kids wh were three, fur, and five t play hide-and-seek and t keep a secret abut a surprise. 44 t d the tw tasks cnnected strngly with each ther, and with the kids’ scial cgnitin(认知). At three, the kids were fairly 45 at these tasks. By the age f five, mst children can keep a secret, their cgnitive develpment 46 the demands f this task.
Fr adults, this is 47 behavir. “ 48 all adults f nrmal intellectual and psychlgical functining d keep persnal secrets at ne time r anther," writes Anita E. Kelly, authr f The Psychlgy f Secrets.

Truly 52 relatinships depend n really seeing anther persn, which means knwing the deep reaches that nt everyne has access t. Hwever, we can never cmpletely merge with (融入) anther, nr shuld we — being an adult requires 53 healthy bundaries — but sharing these sft parts f urselves allws thers t lve us, just as 54 thers’ secrets allws us t lve them.

Chad was a friend I met at summer camp. And we lve telling crny(老套的) fd jkes. “Yu knw what kind f fish yu put n a sandwich?” Chad said. “A jellyfish(水母, jelly也有果酱的意思)!” “That was bad,” I laughed. “Yu knw why the bread dugh(面团) was sad? It just wanted t be kneaded (揉,音同needed)” “Ww, that was even wrse.” Chad laughed back.
Jking and laughing with Chad was turning ut t be ne f my favrite parts f camp. But a cuple f days later, his jking arund gt cnfusing.
“Hey,” he said, “did yu frget yur eyeglasses tday?” I shk my head. “I dn’t wear glasses.”
“I just figured yu culdn’t see very well,” he said. “The friendship bracelet(手链) yu’re making lks s ugly, yu shuld call it an enemy bracelet. Get it?”
“Oh, ha! Yeah,” I said in a cnfused, nt-exactly-laughing kind f way. But befre I had a chance t stp and think abut hw thse wrds actually made me feel, it was time t mve n t the next activity.
That night, when it was lights-ut time, I lay awake, feeling nt gd. Half f my brain was thinking, “Chad was just jking arund; dn’t take it s hard.” But the ther half f my brain was thinking, “Thse bracelet cmments felt mre mean than fun. I knew that truly funny things shuldn’t make my stmach hurt.”
The next day, Chad made anther ne f his “jkes” n the field. “Amy must think we’re playing glf instead f basketball,” he paused and smiled. Seeing my cnfusin, Chad said that each time Amy gt the ball, it wuld just rll n the grund.”
“Chad” I said. “I dn’t think it’s funny.” “Why? What happened t yur sense f humr?” he asked.
I tk a deep breath and decided t tell him my true feeling. _______________________________________
