The Best Music t Bst Prductivity
Hw many times have yu put n yur headphnes t help yu cncentrate n yur tasks? Varius studies have tried t address the questin f 1 music in the wrkplace can be helpful r nt. The shrt answer seems t be yes, but it depends n the jb and the music.
In ne study, machine peratrs at a clthes manufacturer became 2 (prductive) when they listened t relaxing music; the researchers therefre suggested trying music with a faster pace instead. Hwever, in anther study 3 (cnduct) amng surgens wh perated n patients while listening t classical music, it shwed that they were bth faster and mre accurate in perfrmance. In this case, the researchers advised against high pace r lud music 4 it culd be distracting.
Accrding t sme scientists, n matter what task yu're engaged in, lyrics in music 5 negatively impact yur attentin. Hwever, if 6 (listen) t lyric-less r classical tunes annys yu, yu're prbably nt ging t be very prductive, s it ultimately depends n yur persnal preference.
There might be a link between ‘emtinal use’ f music at wrk and perfrmance, t. Essentially, if yur md imprves, s des yur wrk. T sme extent, then, yu may be best ff playing music 7 makes yu happy. Interestingly, thugh, ne 2023 study, which surveyed244 peple wh listened t music at wrk, revealed n benefit when music 8 (use) fr cgnitive thinking r just played in the backgrund.
But if yu're just here fr the best tracks 9 (bst) yur prductivity, we've gt sme recmmendatins fr yu. The tp three sngs mst ften included in wrk-related Sptify lists 10 (be): ‘Drps f Jupiter’ (Train) , ‘Dreams’ (Fleetwd Mac) and ‘Dn't Stp Believin’ (Jurney) . Integrate these sngs int yur wrkday and experience the bst in prductivity they can prvide.
Directins: Fill in each blank with a prper wrd chsen frm the bx. Each wrd can be used nly nce. Nte that there is ne wrd mre than yu need.
Skyquake
If yu’ve ever heard a lud, distant bming nise with n bvius explanatin like a thunderstrm r a car backfiring, then yu might have experienced a skyquake. Skyquakes have been reprted arund the wrld and lcals have 11 names fr them in different regins. Near Seneca Lake in New Yrk State, they're knwn as ‘Seneca guns’; in Belgium they're called ‘mistpeffers’; and the Japanese refer t them as ‘uminari’, which 12 means ‘cries frm the sea. ’
Sme scientists have suggested that a type f meter (流星) culd be the cause. These space rcks explde when they 13 Earth's atmsphere. If this ccurred abve thick clud, the sund culd 14 acrss a wide area. Hwever, there is n 15 evidence reaching the grund.
A (n) 16 explanatin is the gas cming ut f the bttm f the lake. Several ht spts fr skyquake activity are clse t large, deep lakes, such as Seneca. But skyquakes have als been reprted away frm such water bdies.
Researchers at the University f Nrth Carlina cmpared lcal news reprts with infrmatin frm 17 sensrs and earthquake detectrs. They were unable t identify any earthquake activity that cincided with the strange nises, 18 ruling ut grund shaking as the cause f it. They cncluded that this phenmenn is 19 t the atmsphere. Pssible reasns culd include meters explding in the sky r the sund f big waves getting luder because f special weather cnditins near the cean. Over the years, many f these 20 mystery nises have turned ut t be caused by military planes flying faster than the speed f sund.
Given the diversity f lcatins and explanatins, it's pssible that skyquakes in different parts f the wrld have different causes. But fr nw, their true cause remains mysterius.
The rigid crridrs f Weltn Academy carried the weight f traditin and cnfrmity (循规蹈矩) . Jhn Keating, an English teacher with a (n) f mystery and passin, stepped int the academy like a breath f freshness in a dull rm. His very presence was a (n) t the lng-established nrms f the schl.
He was nt ne t simply stand at the frnt f the classrm and lectured abut Shakespeare's petry r the rules f grammar. , he had a unique way f making the wrds cme alive. In his first class, he walked int the rm, a twinkle in his eye, and led the bys ut int the hallway. Pinting at the ld, faded pictures f frmer students, he said, “Carpe diem, bys. Seize the day. Make yur lives . These men were nce just like yu, with dreams and ptential. Dn't let this place bury yur ambitins. ”
His special haven, the “Whispers f the Bard, ” was a magical place hidden away frm the eyes f the schl authrities. Here, under the pen sky, Keating wuld gather the students arund him. He wuld recite petry with such enthusiasm that the wrds seemed t in the air. “Petry, ” he tld them, “is nt just abut rhymes and meters. It's the language f the . It's the way we express the deepest desires and the wildest dreams that we hld us. ”
He encuraged each student t find their wn vice between the lines f the great pets. T Neil Perry, wh had a hidden passin fr the burning like a small fire in his heart, Keating was like a guiding star. He saw the ptential in Neil's eyes and said, “Neil, the stage is waiting fr yu. Dn't let anyne even yur father yur light. Yur dreams are precius, and yu have the talent t make them cme true. ” He helped Neil practice his lines, shwing him hw t his emtins thrugh every wrd. Under Keating's guidance in every sessin, Neil grew mre cnfident, believing that he culd even what his father expected f him.
Fr Tdd Andersn, wh was shy and ften by his brther seemingly excellent at everything, Keating nticed his talent fr seeing the deeper meaning in literature. “Tdd, ” he said, “yur mind is a treasure chest. Open it and share yur thughts with the wrld. Dn't be afraid t . Yur interpretatins are as valuable as any ther's. ” With Keating's encuraging wrds, Tdd started t cme ut f his , finding the curage t speak up and express himself.
Keating's encuragement was like a gentle wind that blew thrugh the lives f these students, fanning the flames f their dreams and giving them the strength t pursue what they truly lved.

In the year 1669, a German trader named Hennig Brand set ut n an unusual quest that wuld lead t ne f the mst fascinating discveries in the histry f chemistry. Brand, driven by the age-ld alchemists’ dream f magically turning base metals int gld, cnducted a series f experiments that wuld frever change ur understanding f elements.
Brand's jurney began with an assumptin that the key t creating “gld” resided in human urine (尿液) . This seemingly strange idea was fueled by the bservatin that urine shared a similar yellw clr with the precius metal. Acting n this belief, Brand cllected an astnishing 5000 liters f urine and allwed it t stand and ferment (发酵) .
After weeks f fermentatin, Brand biled the urine dwn t a thick, sticky substance. He then mixed this paste with sand and heated the mixture t an extreme temperature. What emerged frm this prcess was a substance that was entirely new t the wrld f science-a white slid that shne with a sft light in the dark.
Brand named this glwing material “phsphrus, ” riginating frm the Greek wrds fr “light bearer. ” The discvery f phsphrus was nt just a scientific breakthrugh; it captured the imaginatin f the public and the scientific cmmunity alike. Its ability t give ff light in the darkness was bth fascinating and mysterius.
The implicatins f Brand's discvery were far-reaching. Phsphrus was nt nly a nvelty but als a substance with practical applicatins. It wuld later becme an essential cmpnent in the prductin f matches, fertilizers, and varius chemicals.
Hennig Brand's accidental discvery f phsphrus in 1669 was mre than just finding a new element; it marked the end f the era f the perid f magic chemistry and the beginning f mdern chemistry. Brand's phsphrus, nce sught as a means t wealth, became a crnerstne in the field f science, a clear demnstratin f pwer f curisity and the unexpected paths that can lead t enlightenment.
36．What is the main idea f the passage?
A．The fall f ancient alchemists and the rise f mdern chemists.
B．The accidental discvery f phsphrus and its scientific impact.
C．The imprtance f human urine in scientific experiments.

Fr the first time, scientists have bserved the brain thrughut the pregnancy (怀孕) timeline. Sex hrmnes, like estrgen and teststerne, are pwerful players in the brain, affecting md, memry, and mre. Sme f the mst dramatic hrmnal changes that humans experience happen during pregnancy, and yet thse nine mnths have been a black bx fr human neurscience until nw.
A new study published this week in Nature Neurscience prvides the mst extensive lk inside that black bx yet. Researchers scanned the brain f ne wman 26 times ver the entire curse f her pregnancy - befre, during and after. Brain scans shw that tracks f white matter get strnger during pregnancy. Previus brain imaging studies frm befre and after pregnancy have shwn that pregnancy shrinks (缩小) parts f the brain, specifically its gray matter. These uter layers f the brain are respnsible fr mst f sensatin, learning and ther great things the brain des.
Shrinking gray matter may sund scary, but it happens t all f us thrughut develpment t fine-tune ur neural prcessing and make ur brains mre efficient. Thugh the term “mmmy brain” is ften used t refer t the brain fg and frgetfulness sme peple feel during pregnancy, the brain changes are likely adaptive. Fr example, yu may be frgetting where yur keys are, but yu are way mre fcused n what is happening t yur baby. Researchers are particularly interested in changes within brain regins that help with scial cgnitin by allwing us t take n thers’ perspectives.
The scale and pattern f brain changes during pregnancy are similar t what ther researchers have seen in adlescent brains during puberty (青春期) , als driven by hrmnes. Other researchers have been able t detect whether smene had been pregnant based nly n neur imaging data frm decades later. S despite the cmmn saying that ur brains stp develping in ur mid-20s, hrmnes seem t drive big, lng-lasting changes thrughut adulthd.
Frm studying the wman's brain, researchers cnfirmed gray matter decreased by fur percent ver the curse f pregnancy and that decrease persisted thrughut the end f the study tw years after giving birth. And it wasn't just ne area r netwrk – 80% f brain regins shrunk. While certain areas and netwrks changed faster than thers, the team desn't yet knw what the implicatins are.
43．The passage mainly tells us ________.
A．hw pregnancy impacts wmen's memryB．hw brain scans lead t a breakthrugh
C．hw puberty differs frm pregnancyD．hw brain changes during pregnancy
44．Based n the research, a pregnant wman shuld ________ changes accmpanying “mmmy brain”?
A．peacefully acceptB．cnsciusly avid
C．cmpletely ignreD．eagerly expect
45．We can learn frm the last tw paragraphs that ________.
A．researchers have figured ut why certain areas f brain change faster
B．despite similarity, brain changes in puberty aren't driven by hrmnes
C．hrmnes are likely t cause brain changes beynd adlescence
D．the shrinkage f gray matter in brain stps shrtly after child birth
46．What is the structure f this passage?
A．Presenting a finding → Explaining → Relating with ther findings
B．Intrducing a tpic → Prviding examples → Summarizing the main pints
C．Stating a prblem → Prpsing slutins → Evaluating the slutins
D．Describing a phenmenn → Analyzing the causes → Predicting the future trends
Ratting n Crimes
“Yu are never mre than six feet away frm a rat, ” ges the saying. Thugh it has been cncluded that this estimate is incrrect, it might sn be accurate fr thse invlved in the illegal wildlife trade. A team f researchers have trained African rats t pick up the scents (气味) f endangered animal prducts, such as elephant ivry and rhin hrn. 47
The rat pack can even identify these items when cncealed amng ther substances, and have been shwn t remember the smells after mnths f nn-expsure. This isn't the first time APOPO, a Tanzania-based nn-prfit, have recgnized a ptential fr a super-rat wrkfrce. 48 The rganizatin lks t prvide lw-tech, cst-efficient slutins t pressing challenges thrughut Africa.
The rats in the new study went thrugh several demanding stages f training. They first learned t smell a target scent fr several secnds t earn a flavured reward. 49 The final step was memry cnslidatin training, where they were reintrduced t scents they'd nt encuntered fr five and eight mnths, respectively. Despite the mnths f nn-expsure, the rats shwed perfect memry scres, suggesting that their cgnitive memry perfrmance is similar t that f dgs.
Illegal capture, killing, and harvesting f animals and plants have increased dramatically in recent years. Fr example, 55 African elephants are killed fr their tusks every day, ver 20, 000 a year. This has t be stpped immediately.
50 They will be armed with custm-made vests (马甲) . With their frnt paws, they will be able t pull a small ball attached t the chest f their vest, which gives ut a beeping sund. This way rats will be able t alert handlers when they detect a target. Once fully trained and prepared, these giant rats culd becme illegal hunters' wrst enemy.
A．Previusly, they've trained packs f her rats t detect dangerus bacteria.
B．Then they were intrduced t cmmn scents used t mask illegal wildlife trade.
C．This effrt aims t prvide a lw-cst detectin system t prevent illegal hunting.
D．Hwever, there are cncerns that the rats might be distracted by sme cmmn scents.
E．Existing screening tls are expensive and time intensive, necessitating a new apprach.
F．Fr this purpse, these trained rats will be expected t wrk in likely htspts fr illegal wildlife trade.
51．Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint (s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
The Significance f Cattle in Maasai Sciety
Cattle are the traditinal partners f the Maasai peple f East Africa. The traditinal Maasai diet is heavily centered arund cattle prducts. Milk is a fundamental cmpnent f the Maasai diet, cnsumed daily and in varius frms. Fresh milk, knwn as “enkirwua”, is ften drunk straight r mixed with herbs fr added flavr and medicinal benefits. Prcessed milk, r “mkre”, is a ppular variatin, prviding rich surce f nutritin. Cattle's meat is anther imprtant part f the Maasai diet, cnsumed during special ccasins and ceremnies. Every part f the animal is used, reflecting the Maasai's resurcefulness and respect fr their livestck. It represents strength and the cmmunity's cllective wealth.
Cattle hld significant value in Maasai scial life. An individual's scial status is heavily influenced by cattle wnership. The number f cattle ne pssesses dírectly relates with his standing in the cmmunity. This is particularly evident during traditinal ceremnies, such as weddings, where the exchange f cattle as gifts signifies the strng bnd between families and a shared cmmitment t the future. Families there share respnsibilities in cattle care and their cllective management prmtes unity and teamwrk. Fr example, the prcess f milking is a shared activity, invlving bth men and wmen and strengthening scial bnds. It is especially vital during challenging times, such as drughts r ther hardships when the well-being f the cattle is crucial.
Cattle als play a big rle in Maasai rituals and ceremnies, accmpanying individuals frm birth t death. Fr example, the sacrifice f a cw during naming ceremnies r funerals nt nly celebrates the ccasin but als strengthens the cmmunity's spiritual cnnectin with their livestck. These rituals highlight the spiritual imprtance f cattle, seen as a link between the physical and spiritual wrlds, thus firmly establishing their central rle in Maasai culture.
