Mary rises early every day t pick the cffee cherries. “It’s hard wrk but when yu cncentrate it can becme easy.” says Mary. After gathering the ripe fruit, she puts it in a bucket f water t weed ut the unhealthy cherries. The beans are then fermented (发酵) in water fr at least tw days befre being laid ut t dry in direct sunlight.

It hasn’t been an easy jurney fr the Bududa farmers, wh’ve faced annual landslides fr the past 15 years. In 2018, Mary’s mther’s huse was destryed and she lst sme f her cffee plantatins.

A gd stry. That’s what influences ur chice t buy a bk the mst. Right? Sme f the biggest-selling nvels f all time just s happened t be attached t majr publishers. Indeed, any reading lver will be familiar with the cuntless publishing huses that have brught brilliant wrks t the market. S in thery, perhaps a publisher des matter.
Every time yu read a bk that yu enjy, yu likely lk at the publisher attached t it. That name is a signal that they will prduce ther cntent that fits with that same style. It makes a lt f sense t cntinue t purchase texts frm a cmpany that is telling the kinds f stries that yu enjy the mst. Cnsumer habits are thus based n trust that a publisher will be cnsistent in the bks they deliver and that investing time in them is mre reliable than an untested surce.
The strength f the authr themselves can als play int that. After all, well-liked authrs are ften signed t a bk deal with a select few publishers, strengthening the brand further.
Of curse, a publisher wuld be nthing withut its lg, which is a majr call-t-arms fr all fans f the brand. The tp publishers in the wrld instantly recgnizable imagery, which catch the attentin while summing up the name f a brand in an instant. That thus builds ur assciatin with a given name. The fun penguin shape f Penguin Randm Huse is s icnic, fr example, that it culd nt be cnfused with any ther publishing business.
There might be a place fr thse indie (独立经营的) bk cmpanies, with ccasinal stries breaking thrugh and frcing peple t take ntice. In truth that’s far less cmmn than yu expect. Expert Cassandra Davis, hwever, prvides a hpeful insight. “Indie bkshps are mre likely t stck an indie publisher’s bks, especially if the authr is lcal t the bkshp.” She says. Therefre, supprting lcal bkshps is a vital way t keep the indie industry alive and change these trends.
8. Which f the fllwing is nt a strategy fr a publisher t prmte its brand?
A. Maintaining cnsistent publishing style.B. Cntracting with renwned writers.
C. Offering discunts t repeat custmers.D. Designing a distinctive trademark.
9. What is the authr’s attitude twards indie publishers?
A. Optimistic.B. Sympathetic.C. Objective.D. Indifferent.
10 What des the underlined wrds “these trends” in the last paragraph refer t?
A. Dminance f majr publishers.B. Lack f attentin t excellent bks.
C. Depressin f lcal bkshps.D. Stability f cnsumers’ preferences.
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Shuld We Judge a Bk by Its Publisher?
B. D Publishers Influence Our Reading Chices?
C. Why D We Chse the Same Publisher Cntinuusly?
D. What Advantages D Majr Publishers Have Over Indie Ones?
D
Humans act with purpse, but much is still unknwn abut hw we becme purpseful agents — that is, hw we develp the ability t willfully make things happen. In a recent study t explre agency’s mysterius rts, we tried t catch infants (婴儿) in the act f discvering their wn agency, thereby revealing the prcess f agency frmatin.
Researchers place a baby int a cradle with a mbile suspended abve. Then a scientist ties ne end f a string t the mbile and the ther t the infant’s ft. Nw if the baby mves, the ty will, t. By bserving babies in this setup, scientists can watch as the infants learn and recall a simple cause-and-effect interactin: kick a ft and the mbile mves.
As predicted by the researchers, infants kicked significantly mre when their ft was tethered (拴住) t the mbile than when it was nt. Hwever, when an experimenter pulled the string t make the mbile mve instead, infants mved less than when the mbile was at rest. Furthermre, when we freed the babies’ ft frm the mbile, they kept n kicking at higher rate t make the ty respnd — and were visibly frustrated when that did nt happen.
Our bservatins als pinted t a ntable pattern: The babies’ initial mvements cnsisted f twisting and pushing withut clear directin. But nce tethered t the mbile, the mre intensely they mved, the mre their attentin was drawn t the effect their kicking had n it. At sme pint, the infants must have figured ut that they had agency, thus the aimless mvements became intentinal actin — a highly crdinated exchange between the tethered infant and the mbile.
The baby-mbile study emphasizes hw understanding the relatinship between an rganism and its envirnment is essential t uncvering the rigins f directed behavir. The experience f agency emerges nly when an rganism senses it is cupled t its envirnment. In this way f thinking, the interactin and relatinship between the tw are crucial fr purpse t arise.
12. What can we learn abut agency accrding t the text?
A. It is an inbrn ability withut learning.B. It embdies in babies the mst evidently.
C. It exists in all aspects f ur daily life.D. It is a resnance with ur surrundings.
13. Hw did the researchers make the experiment cnvincing?
A. By predicting multiple pssible results.B. By tracking babies’ behaviur precisely.
C. By setting up cmparative experiments.D. By building prper interpretatin mdel.
14. What des Paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A. Analysis f experimental phenmena.B. Supplement t experimental details.
C. Explanatin f experimental design.D. Summary f experimental utcmes.
15. What is the main purpse f the text?
A. T uncver the prcess f agency frmatin.
B. T reprt a cutting-edge discvery abut agency.
C. T guide peple n hw t take advantage f agency.
D. T clarify the imprtance f envirnment t creatures.

Hlding Mm’s Hand
Technically speaking, my Mm is ld－she is in her 70s nw. She nce used t be a wman full f life and laughter. All f that changed after my Dad passed away abut ten years ag. Althugh they were nt what yu wuld call a “lvey dvey” cuple, Mm did take his sudden death quite badly. T make matters wrse, my brther decided t relcate t anther city, while Mm decided t stay behind with her sister.
Whenever my Mm cmes ver t stay with me fr sme time (I live with my husband and his parents), she always demands cnstant attentin frm me. She generally gets nstalgic (怀旧的) f the gd ld times we used t spend tgether discussing pets, bks, cking, r life in general. Smetimes it turned int a cmplaining sessin－“Yu never spare time fr me anymre” r “I have becme useless t everyne”. I always used t retrt (反驳) with “Oh, Mm, please dn’t start all ver again” r smetimes rudely remark, “Hw can yu expect me t d the things we used t d tgether years ag? There is n time fr such things anymre!” Mm wuld becme silent, prbably because she had resigned herself t the way things are nw. I culd sense I had hurt her but there was little I culd d, r s I thught at the time.
Then it struck me－I always try t be nice t peple at wrk. I d randm acts f kindness fr strangers. I smetimes surprise an ld friend with a phne call. But what have I dne fr my Mm? Why is it that I am s reluctant t hld her hands in frnt f thers? Is it because I am embarrassed t be labeled as “mama’s girl” at my age? Well, I am n lnger yung myself. Is it because I have taken my Mm fr granted because her days are dne?
Tday was yet anther chatic day. I was ccupied in dealing with my wn things, getting ready fr wrk, leaving my Mm t have her breakfast all alne at the table. I had s many things n my mind－the deadline at wrk, an appintment with my dentist, what t ck fr dinner...

Cnsumer habits are thus based n trust that a publisher will be cnsistent in the bks they deliver and that investing time in them is mre reliable than an untested surce.
The strength f the authr themselves can als play int that. After all, well-liked authrs are ften signed t a bk deal with a select few publishers, strengthening the brand further.
Of curse, a publisher wuld be nthing withut its lg, which is a majr call-t-arms fr all fans f the brand. The tp publishers in the wrld instantly recgnizable imagery, which catch the attentin while summing up the name f a brand in an instant. That thus builds ur assciatin with a given name. The fun penguin shape f Penguin Randm Huse is s icnic, fr example, that it culd nt be cnfused with any ther publishing business.
There might be a place fr thse indie (独立经营的) bk cmpanies, with ccasinal stries breaking thrugh and frcing peple t take ntice. In truth that’s far less cmmn than yu expect. Expert Cassandra Davis, hwever, prvides a hpeful insight. “Indie bkshps are mre likely t stck an indie publisher’s bks, especially if the authr is lcal t the bkshp.” She says. Therefre, supprting lcal bkshps is a vital way t keep the indie industry alive and change these trends.

D
Humans act with purpse, but much is still unknwn abut hw we becme purpseful agents — that is, hw we develp the ability t willfully make things happen. In a recent study t explre agency’s mysterius rts, we tried t catch infants (婴儿) in the act f discvering their wn agency, thereby revealing the prcess f agency frmatin.
Researchers place a baby int a cradle with a mbile suspended abve. Then a scientist ties ne end f a string t the mbile and the ther t the infant’s ft. Nw if the baby mves, the ty will, t. By bserving babies in this setup, scientists can watch as the infants learn and recall a simple cause-and-effect interactin: kick a ft and the mbile mves.
As predicted by the researchers, infants kicked significantly mre when their ft was tethered (拴住) t the mbile than when it was nt. Hwever, when an experimenter pulled the string t make the mbile mve instead, infants mved less than when the mbile was at rest. Furthermre, when we freed the babies’ ft frm the mbile, they kept n kicking at higher rate t make the ty respnd — and were visibly frustrated when that did nt happen.
Our bservatins als pinted t a ntable pattern: The babies’ initial mvements cnsisted f twisting and pushing withut clear directin. But nce tethered t the mbile, the mre intensely they mved, the mre their attentin was drawn t the effect their kicking had n it. At sme pint, the infants must have figured ut that they had agency, thus the aimless mvements became intentinal actin — a highly crdinated exchange between the tethered infant and the mbile.
The baby-mbile study emphasizes hw understanding the relatinship between an rganism and its envirnment is essential t uncvering the rigins f directed behavir. The experience f agency emerges nly when an rganism senses it is cupled t its envirnment. In this way f thinking, the interactin and relatinship between the tw are crucial fr purpse t arise.
12. What can we learn abut agency accrding t the text?
A. It is an inbrn ability withut learning.B. It embdies in babies the mst evidently.
C. It exists in all aspects f ur daily life.D. It is a resnance with ur surrundings.
13. Hw did the researchers make the experiment cnvincing?
A. By predicting multiple pssible results.B. By tracking babies’ behaviur precisely.
C. By setting up cmparative experiments.D. By building prper interpretatin mdel.
14. What des Paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A. Analysis f experimental phenmena.B. Supplement t experimental details.
C. Explanatin f experimental design.D. Summary f experimental utcmes.
15. What is the main purpse f the text?
A. T uncver the prcess f agency frmatin.
B. T reprt a cutting-edge discvery abut agency.
C. T guide peple n hw t take advantage f agency.
D. T clarify the imprtance f envirnment t creatures.

Hlding Mm’s Hand
Technically speaking, my Mm is ld－she is in her 70s nw. She nce used t be a wman full f life and laughter. All f that changed after my Dad passed away abut ten years ag. Althugh they were nt what yu wuld call a “lvey dvey” cuple, Mm did take his sudden death quite badly. T make matters wrse, my brther decided t relcate t anther city, while Mm decided t stay behind with her sister.
Whenever my Mm cmes ver t stay with me fr sme time (I live with my husband and his parents), she always demands cnstant attentin frm me. She generally gets nstalgic (怀旧的) f the gd ld times we used t spend tgether discussing pets, bks, cking, r life in general. Smetimes it turned int a cmplaining sessin－“Yu never spare time fr me anymre” r “I have becme useless t everyne”. I always used t retrt (反驳) with “Oh, Mm, please dn’t start all ver again” r smetimes rudely remark, “Hw can yu expect me t d the things we used t d tgether years ag? There is n time fr such things anymre!” Mm wuld becme silent, prbably because she had resigned herself t the way things are nw. I culd sense I had hurt her but there was little I culd d, r s I thught at the time.
Then it struck me－I always try t be nice t peple at wrk. I d randm acts f kindness fr strangers. I smetimes surprise an ld friend with a phne call. But what have I dne fr my Mm? Why is it that I am s reluctant t hld her hands in frnt f thers? Is it because I am embarrassed t be labeled as “mama’s girl” at my age? Well, I am n lnger yung myself. Is it because I have taken my Mm fr granted because her days are dne?
Tday was yet anther chatic day. I was ccupied in dealing with my wn things, getting ready fr wrk, leaving my Mm t have her breakfast all alne at the table. I had s many things n my mind－the deadline at wrk, an appintment with my dentist, what t ck fr dinner...
