Canadian authr Alice Munr, a master f the cntemprary shrt stry, passed away n May 13, 2024, at 92.
Munr’s texts featured depictins f everyday but decisive events, pulling vast themes ut f rdinary settings. Her characters ften mirrred her wn rural Ontari lifestyle. In an interview after winning the Nbel Prize, she said that living in a small twn gave her the freedm t write. “I dn’t think I culd have been s brave if I had been living in a city, cmpeting with peple n what can be called a generally higher cultural level,” she said. “As far as I knew, at least fr a while, I was the nly persn I knew wh wrte stries.”
Munr’s first shrt stry was published when she was 37, a cllege drput squeezing in writing time arund her children’s naps. By the time she was in her 60s, she had becme ne f the mst celebrated shrt-stry writers in the wrld. Thrughut her lng career, she hardly ever failed t ww readers and critics with her quietly pwerful language. In reviewing her last cllectin, Dear Life, NPR critic Alan Cheuse wrte “A Munr stry gives us s much life within the bunds f a single tale that it nurishes (滋养) us almst as much as a nvel des.”
In a literary culture that tends t celebrate nvels ver shrter fictin, Munr has been a cnstant advcate fr the pwer f the shrt stry. In the interview, Munr emphasized the significance f her win nt fr herself, but fr her art frm: “I really hpe this wuld make peple see the shrt stry as an imprtant art, nt just smething yu play arund with until yu get a nvel written.”
When asked “D yu want yung wmen t be inspired by yur bks and feel inspired t write?” Munr
replied, “I dn’t care abut that. I want peple t find nt s much inspiratin as great jy. I want them t think f my bks as related t their wn lives in ways.”
19. Why did Munr feel free t write while living in rural areas?
A. She was inspired by rural landscape and lifestyles.
B. She was free frm stress f a mre cultured setting.
C. She had mre curage t cmpete with urban writers.

Handwriting ntes in class might seem ld-fashined as digital technlgy affects nearly every aspect f learning. But a recent study in Frntiers in Psychlgy suggests that taking ntes with pen and paper is still the best way t learn, especially fr yung children.
The new research builds n a 2014 study that suggested peple may type ntes quickly, withut thinking much abut what they’re writing-but writing by hand is slwer and makes them actively pay attentin t and prcess the incming infrmatin. This cnscius actin f building n existing knwledge can make it easier fr students t stay engaged and grasp new cncepts.
T understand specific brain-activity differences during the tw nte-taking appraches, the authrs f the new study sewed 256 electrdes (电极) int a hairnet. These sensrs let the scientists recrd 36 students’ brain activity as they wrte r typed wrds displayed n a screen. When students wrte by hand, the sensrs picked up widespread
brain cnnectivity thrughut visual regins that receive and prcess sensry infrmatin, and the mtr crtex (运动皮层) that helps the brain use envirnmental inputs t infrm a persn’s next actin. Typing, hwever, resulted in minimal activity in these brain regins.
Vanderbilt University educatinal neurscientist Sphia Vinci-Bher says the recent study highlights the clear tie between physical actins and cncept understanding, “As yu’re writing a wrd, yu’re taking this cntinuus understanding f smething and using mtr system t create it.” That creatin then affects the visual system, where it’s prcessed again-strengthening the cnnectin between an actin and the wrds assciated with it.
Vinci-Bher ntes that the new findings dn’t mean technlgy is always a disadvantage in the classrm. Digital devices can be mre efficient fr writing essays and ffer mre equal access t educatinal resurces. Hwever, there’s a grwing trend f relying n digital devices t perfrm cgnitive (认知的) tasks, such as taking phts instead f memrizing infrmatin. Yadurshana Sivashankar, an researcher at the University f Waterl says, “If we’re nt actively using these areas, then they are ging t becme wrse ver time, whether it’s memry r mtr skills.”
23. Why des the authr mentin the 2014 study?
A. T present different research findings.B. T make the new research mre cnvincing
C. T cmpare tw nte taking appraches.D. T shw the advantage f writing slwly
24. What can be learned frm the experiment in Paragraph 3?
A. Sensrs were used t prcess visual infrmatin.
B. Electrdes were cnnected t students’ hair directly.
C. Writing by hand activated mre brain activity than typing.
D. Typing stimulated the mtr crtex t infrm fllwing actin.
25. What wuld Sphia Vinci-Bher prbably advise students t d?
A. Make better use f mtr system.B. Take advantage f digital devices.
C. Adpt a new apprach t taking ntes.D. Memrize wrds by writing essays.
26 What is the main idea f the text?
A. Technlgy is nt a disadvantage in classrm.
B. Writing by hand cmes with learning benefits.
C. Taking ntes enhances students’ brain activity.
D. Tw nte-taking appraches have clear differences.

The mre scientists investigate the micrbes (微生物) living inside us, the mre they learn abut the surprising impact f the tiny rganisms n hw we lk, act, think, and feel. Are ur health and well-being really driven by the bacteria, viruses and fungi that live in ur intestines (肠), in ur lungs, n ur skin, n ur eyeballs? What a weird cncept — that the bugs we carry arund appear t be essential t establishing the basic nature f wh we are.
The effects f the micrbime, the micrrganisms that exist in human bdy, can be prfund and can start incredibly early. In a study, scientists shwed that smething suppsedly as natural as a child’s character might be related t the bacteria in an infant’s digestive system; the mre Bifidbacterium (双歧杆菌) there are, the sunnier the baby is. This bservatin, frm the University f Turku in Finland, is based n an analysis f samples frm 301 babies. Thse with the highest prprtin f Bifidbacterium rganisms at tw mnths ld were mre likely t exhibit a trait the researchers called “psitive emtinality” at six mnths ld.
Micrbime science is still relatively yung. Mst studies s far have been initial and small-scale, invlving nly a dzen r s mice r humans. Scientists have fund assciatins between the micrbime and disease but can’t yet draw clear cause-and-effect cnclusins abut ur extensive cllectin f micrrganisms and their effects n us as hsts. Still, the cllectin itself is mind-bggling — it’s nw thught t be arund 38 trillin micrbes fr a typical yung adult male, slightly mre than the number f actual human cells. And the prspects fr putting that cllectin t use are mre than prmising.
In the nt-t-distant future, accrding t the mst enthusiastic researchers, it might be a rutine fr us t take a dse f healthy micrbes in varius frms. Hpefully, with the help f new medical advances, we will be able t achieve ur full ptential by functining at peak levels internally and externally.
27 What can we learn abut micrbime?
A. The develpment f micrbime is quite mature nwadays.
B. The mre Bifidbacterium an adult has, the healthier ne is.
C. Mre micrbes than human cells are present in yung men.
D. Micrbes have little influence n shaping ur identity
28. What des the underlined wrd “mind-bggling” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Weakening.B. Astnishing.C. Disturbing.D. Misleading.
29. What can be inferred frm the text?
A. It’s necessary t remve certain fungi frm ur bdy.
B. 2-mnth-ld babies are ften mre psitive than 6-mnth-ld nes.
C. New supplements related t micrbime are likely being develped
D. The relatinship between micrrganisms and disease remains unclear.
30. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Hw micrbes benefit ur health.
B. Hw micrbes shape ur lives.
C. What affects early childhd.
D. What Turku University reveals abut micrbes.

Anna wrked with her mther in their vegetable garden every day. This was hw they made their living. Anna helped her mther tend the garden, s the vegetables wuld be healthy and ready fr the market. Anna ften pretended the plants she tended were beautiful rses, like Mrs. Brwn’s prize flwers.

Anna smiled, as she had an idea. She bwed farewell t Mrs. Brwn and went ut the garden gate. Mrs. Brwn was busy minding her prize rses. Anna quickly bent ver and grabbed the abandned rse befre rushing hme. She remembered a quiet spt behind the cttage. It was the perfect place fr her little rse t grw.
