A new study has suggested that the key t reducing feelings f anger is nt venting (letting the angry emtins ut) but ding calming activities such as yga r meditatin．
The study was published in March by Sphie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman frm Ohi State University in the US． They wanted t explre the ppular thery that venting (expressing) anger is a gd way f reducing it． Examples f venting anger include shuting r hitting smething like a cushin, s that yu let g f the emtin and therefre dn’t feel it any mre． The pair lked at 154 ther studies n anger． These invlved 10, 189 peple, and included a variety f ages and backgrunds． In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emtinal respnse (反应) t a real r imagined threat (威胁)”． They used a thery f emtin (情绪假说) that says emtins are partly felt in yur bdy and partly in yur mind．
The scientists lked at the ther studies t see hw different activities influenced anger． They fund that activities such as running r bxing—which are ften thught t be gd fr dealing with anger—weren’t very gd at reducing it． In fact, sme f these activities actually made it wrse because they increased physical respnses in the bdy that are linked t feeling angry． Fr example, they made peple’s hearts beat faster． Hwever, activities that decreased physical respnses in the bdy did help t reduce feelings f anger． These included activities that slw the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditatin and yga． Bushman says activities that increase physical respnses may be gd fr heart health but are “definitely nt the best way t reduce anger”．

Pet parrts that are allwed t make vide calls t ther birds shw signs f feeling less islated, accrding t scientists．
The study, which invlved giving the birds a cmputer that they culd use t make vide calls, fund that they began t engage in mre scial behavirs including preening, singing and playing． The birds were given a chice f which “friend” t call n a tuchscreen cmputer and the study shwed that the parrts that called ther birds mst ften were the mst ppular chices．
Ilyena Hirskyj-Duglas, f the University f Glasgw and a c-authr f the study, said that vide calls had helped many peple feel less islated in the last few years． She added, “There are 20 millin parrts living in peple’s hmes in the USA, and we wanted t explre whether thse birds might benefit(受益)frm vide calling t． If we gave them the chance t call ther parrts, wuld they chse t d s, and wuld the experience benefit the parrts and their caregivers?”
Their study f 18 pet parrts suggested that there were, indeed, benefits fr the birds． In the wild, many species f parrts live in large grups, but as pets they are, kept alne r in a small grup． Living alne can cause birds, t develp mental prblems, which include rcking, walking back and frth, r self-harming behavirs such as feather-plucking．
The parrts first learned t ring a bell and then tuch a pht f anther bird n the screen f a cmputer t make a call t that bird, with the help f their wners． In ttal the birds made 147 calls t each ther during the study, while wners tk detailed ntes n the birds’ behavir and the researchers later reviewed the vide ftage．
Jennifer Cunha f Nrtheastern University said that the parrts “seemed t knw” that they were cmmunicating with ther birds． “All the bird wners in the study said they valued the experience, and wuld want t cntinue using the system with their parrts in the future,” she said．
“I was quite surprised at s many different behavirs,” said Hirskyj-Duglas． “Sme wuld sing, sme wuld play arund and g upside dwn, thers wuld want t shw anther bird their tys．”

Sending astrnauts t Mars is a big challenge． Astrnauts will have t take everything they need, including fd, air and water． The rm inside the spaceship is t limited t hld many things． S packing a spaceship is a huge challenge fr a trip t Mars．
Six astrnauts n an eight-mnth trip t Mars will need at least 18,000 kilgrams f water fr drinking and washing． They’ll als need water t prtect themselves frm space rays which can pass right thrugh spaceship walls and harm astrnauts’ living cells． But a layer f water placed arund the ship can stp the harm．
That’s a lt f water． And sending water int space is t expensive． It csts $33,000 t send ne cup f water t Mars． The mre yu take, the mre it csts． We have the technlgy t get t Mars, but the prblem is that it’s t expensive．
But Flynn, an engineer at NASA, thinks he has a way f slving the prblem． Instead f building a heavy spaceship and packing it full f stuff(物料), why nt use the stuff as part f the spaceship?
Imagine a spaceship that blws up like a balln． Inside, the walls have pckets like a big hneycmb(蜂巢)． These hld lts f plastic bags filled with water, dried fd and algae(水藻)． All these make hard walls and great radiatin(辐射)prtectin． And stpping radiatin desn’t influence the fd r water itself—it’s safe t eat and drink． And what if the same water culd be reused again and again? Flynn and his team call their packed-pcket idea Water Walls．
Making xygen and taking away CO2—the waste gas yu breathe ut—is anther prblem in space． “Water Walls will take away CO2 the same way it’s dne here n ur Earth—with living plants,” Flynn says． Living plants take in CO2 t make their fd, and give ff xygen． “Plants are hard t grw in a spacecraft, s we use algae,” he says．
Algae are tiny plants that live in water． The algae will live in bags in the walls t, fed by human waste and sunlight, eating up CO2 and making xygen fr the astrnauts t breathe．
Flynn thinks his nbard recycling system has many advantages． He hpes it will help make flying t Mars a reality very sn．
26．What des the underlined phrase “packing a spaceship” in paragraph 1 mst prbably mean?
A． repairing things in a spaceshipB．recycling things in a spaceship
C． checking things in a spaceshipD．putting things int a spaceship
27．What is the advantage f Flynn’s system?
A． Cst is saved．B． Travelling time is saved．
C． Plastic bags are saved．D． Fd is saved．
28．What is ne purpse f Flynn’s idea f Water Walls?
A． T prevent space rays during the space trip．B． T make the whle spaceship strnger．
C． T cntrl the temperature in the spaceship．D． T prduce water in the spaceship．
29．Why are algae put in the plastic bags?
A． T prevent water frm being plluted．B． T serve as fd fr astrnauts．

When Singaprean Tng Weiqiang watched Hng Kng wuxia dramas mre than 10 years ag, he was greatly impressed． He then pineered a lcal mvement t supprt hanfu, r traditinal Chinese clthes, and started the Han Cultural Sciety f Singapre in 2012 t attract mre fans． “Many peple in ur cultural sciety first learned abut hanfu frm these Chinese wuxia dramas,” he tld China Daily．
In recent years, with the increased ppularity f Chinese culture thrugh dramas and nline literature, wuxia-related cntent has started t regain ppularity with viewers all ver the wrld, including thse in Sutheast Asia, Accrding t China Daily, Wuxiawrld, a web nvel site started by Chinese-American Lai Jingping in 2014, attracts millins f page views per day frm users in mre than 100 cuntries．
One reasn fr its ppularity is that wuxia wrks bring them fresh new experiences． The ecnmies(经济)f many Sutheast Asian cuntries are based n agriculture． As China Daily mentined, what really interests them is the different lifestyles f wuxia heres they have never experienced．
New thughts and ideas in wuxia wrks als help it g a step further abrad． Unlike traditinal wuxia, the mdern frm f wuxia which has gained ppularity in Sutheast Asia is a brader idea that includes xianxia and xuanhuan．
But there’s ne thing that never changes-its cre(核心)spirit． Mixing the Chinese characters “wu” and “xia”, these wrks always keep the spirit f the Chinese heres fighting against scial injustice(不公正)and beating bad peple, nted the Interact Kungfu website．

Scientists wh study happiness have evidence(证据)t shw that being kind t thers can result in happiness． Acts as simple as buying a cup f cffee fr smene can lift a persn’s md, fr example． Everyday life is full f chances fr such actins, yet peple d nt always make the mst f them．
In studies, behaviral scientist Nichlas Epley and I examined a pssible explanatin: peple wh d kind acts underestimate(低估)hw much the nes receiving kindness value their behavir．
In the experiments(实验), abut 1, 000 peple were asked t d sme actins t make smene else feel gd． We asked bth the persn perfrming(执行)the kind act and the ne receiving it t answer sme questins． The perfrmers were asked t reprt their wn experience and t guess hw the receivers might feel． We wanted t understand hw valuable peple cnsidered these acts t be, s bth the perfrmer and receiver had t rate(评分)hw “big” the act seemed． In all cases, we cmpared the perfrmer’s expectatins f the receiver’s md with the receiver’s actual(实际的)experience．
Fr ne, bth perfrmers and receivers experienced mre psitive(积极的)mds． Fr anther, the receivers felt much better than the kind perfrmers expected． The receivers als rated these acts as “bigger” than the peple perfrming them did．
At first, we studied acts f the kindness dne fr familiar peple, such as friends, classmates r family． But we fund that perfrmers underestimated their psitive influences n strangers as well． In ne experiment, perfrmers in a public park gave away ht chclate n a cld winter’s day t peple that just happened t be nearby． Again, the kind act brught mre happiness than the perfrmers expected．
These findings suggest that what might seem small culd matter a great deal t the persn we d it fr． Cnsidering these warm actins can imprve ur wn md and brighten the day f anther persn, why nt chse kindness when we can?

Climate change(气候变化)has brught a serius warning t the living areas f the Siberian crane, increasing the need t better prtect the birds and their migratry channels(迁徙路径), an expert said．
The Siberian crane breeds(繁殖)in nrtheast Siberia in Russia and flies t Pyang Lake fr the winter in East China’s Jiangxi Prvince． Abut 95 percent f the birds spend the seasn in Pyang．
Qian Fawen, a research prfessr frm the Natinal Bird Banding Center f China, said that Pyang’s water levels decide whether it is suitable fr the birds t live there． Hwever, climate change has made the levels change ften． “In sme years, the lake experiences flds; in thers, it experiences drughts． Bth f these situatins create fd shrtages in the cranes’ living area,” he said．
The Siberian crane is listed as seriusly endangered n the Internatinal Unin fr Cnservatin f Nature Red List． “We need t prtect their living area, which is mainly wetland, s that we can prtect them,” Qian said．
In the recently annunced Natinal Actin Plan fr the Prtectin f Bird Migratin Channels(2021-35), 1, 140 places in China were cnsidered as imprtant breeding grunds, wintering grunds and staying stps, including Pyang and the Yellw River wetland in Ningxia． The plan said that the gvernment shuld watch and cunt the number f migratry birds and pay farmers fr lsses caused by the birds．
Since China jined the Ramsar Cnventin n Wetlands in 1992, it has designated(指定)202,600 hectares f wetland as Wetlands f Internatinal Imprtance． They stre and clean water, keep all kinds f living things, help stre flds and prevent drughts． Accrding t a plan annunced by the central gvernment in Octber, by 2025, China will have prtected 55 percent f its wetlands．
After the Wetlands Prtectin Law, the natin’s first law t prtect wetlands, was intrduced n June 1, 2022, cmplete prtectin was strengthened． The law clearly explained what the gvernment shuld d and intrduced strict punishment fr peple wh destry wetland areas． It limits building at imprtant natinal wetlands and it desn’t allw harmful activities, including using them as farmlands, leaving wastewater everywhere, harvesting and fishing t much．

What wuld happen if yu tried t blw a sap(肥皂)bubble in belw-freezing weather? Wuld it freeze and fall t the grund? Wuld yu have t hit it with a stne t break it? These questins came int my mind ne cld winter day． It was t cld t play in the snw, but it was a perfect time t experiment with blwing frzen bubbles．
T blw frzen bubbles, I had t wait until the air utside was very cld． Fr this activity, that meant 10 degrees belw 0 Fahrenheit r clder． I didn’t have the bubble things that cme in a bttle, s I used dish-washing sap． Adding a drp f glycerin made the sap wrk even better． I chse a place ut f the wind, and blew bubbles the same way I always d． I watched t see what wuld happen． Here’s what I learned．
If the temperature is lw enugh, the skin f the bubble frsts(结霜)ver, becming cludy instead f clear． And what abut thse rainbw swirls(漩涡状物体)that yu see in sap bubbles? The rainbw clrs stay even(均匀的)when the bubbles frst, but they dn’t spin anymre． The bubbles still flat in the air． They dn’t fall t the grund any faster than they wuld n a warm summer day．
When these frzen bubbles break, they dn’t turn int tiny drps f sap as summer bubbles d． They turn int shiny rainbw pieces and fly slwly t the grund． Smetimes a frzen bubble will rll acrss the snw withut breaking． If it breaks, it may leave a strng bubble skin n the grund． Leave the bubble alne and it may stay there fr a lng time．
Smetimes I culd catch a bubble and hld it until the heat f my hand made it pp．

In Chinese classical pems, the frm is very imprtant: the crrect number f lines and the number f wrds in each line． Pems ften fllw special mdels f rhythm(节奏)and rhyme． Hwever, mdern pets begin t reject traditinal frms and structures(结构)fr pems in the 20th century． As a result, mst pems tday are written in free style, with lines f different lengths．
Tday many Chinese peple are becming mre interested in reading pems, n matter in what language they are written． Translatins can be gd, but being able t read in the riginal(最初的)language is best．
34．What d the first tw lines f the pem On the Strk Twer shw?
A． Lve．B． Sights．C． Histry．D． Feelings．
35．What des the underlined wrd “reject” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A． Thrw away．B． Carry n．C． Agree with．D． Take up．
36．What des the writer f the passage prbably believe?
A． It is much easier t write classical pems than mdern pems．
B． Peple shuld develp the habit f painting pictures after reading pems．
C． Chinese classical pems shuld fllw free style with lines f different lengths．
D． N matter hw well a pem is translated, sme f the spirit f the riginal wrk is lst．

Yu stand in a garden． A lw nise reaches yur ears． Yu see a small insect flying near yur head． Yu turn t lk, and it flies ut f sight． There it is again! Yu mve slwly． Yu can see yellw and black stripes n it．
Is it a bee? It lands n a flwer, and yu take a clser lk．
Bees fld(折叠)their wings nt their backs when they stp flying． But this insect’s wings reach ut like a fly’s． That’s because it is a fly—a flwer fly．
Many flwer flies lk like bees． This helps keep them safe frm animals that may want t eat them． Insects with yellw and black stripes usually have stingers(刺)． Insect eaters, such as sme birds and frgs, need t get stung nly nce t knw that stripes mean truble． Flwer flies can’t sting, but insect eaters see the stripes and leave the flies alne．
Flwer flies spend mst f their time lking fr fd． Like bees, flwer flies eat pllen(花粉)and nectar(花蜜)． This makes them easy t find in a garden full f flwers． They are helpful garden insects just like bees． Adult flwer flies mve pllen frm ne flwer t anther, which helps sme flwers grw int fruit．
Flwer flies can stay in ne place while flying． Mst insects mve frward when they fly． But flwer flies can twist their wings, much like hummingbirds d． Twisting keeps them in ne place, s they can remain ver flwers, leaves, r even yu!

Mst f us cannt imagine mdern life withut scial media(社交媒体)． We use it almst every day in rder t keep up with what is happening in ur friends’ lives, r find ut the latest infrmatin． Althugh it has a bad influence if we dn’t use it prperly, scial media has dne mre gd than harm．
The greatest advantage is that we can cnnect with peple much mre easily． We are still able t keep in tuch with ur friends if they are far away． With scial media, friendship ges beynd gegraphy． We are able t find friends ld and new． Als, it makes it easier fr us t make friends, especially fr thse wh are afraid f making friends face t face． Are yu shy? If yes, scial media has prbably helped．
Scial media is als ideal fr making yurself heard． Anyne with a vice can express it． Anyne with a talent is free t shw it． Everyne is the new cntent creatr． Mrever, anyne with a smartphne and the Internet can be a reprter． As a result, it has becme much faster t cver the news than ever befre．
Scial media, n the ther hand, can make us less cnfident smetimes． A 2021 study published by the Public Library f Science, fund that the mre a persn uses scial media, the sadder he feels abut his wn life． One reasn fr this is that peple arund us put clurful infrmatin and perfect pictures nline in rder t shw ff their best mment． S we ften get a distrted sense f hw wnderful their lives are cmpared t ur wn．
Scial media des nt cause sadness; it simply prvides anther tl fr us t use． Is it gd r bad? Nbel Peace Prize winner Malala Yusafzai says, “What is interesting is the pwer and influence f scial media ．．． We must try t use scial media in a gd way．” After all, yu decide hw yu use this pwerful tl．

A team f Chinese scientists and climbers reached the tp f
Qmlangma at abut 12:30 p．m． n Tuesday, May 23． It’s the secnd time since last year fr the science expeditin(考察)team t reach the tp．
The team was made up f 13 Chinese scientists and climbers． They set ff at a height f 8,300 metres fr the tp at abut 3 a．m． After mre than 8 hurs f hard climbing, they arrived at the 8,830-metre weather statin．
After fixing steel rpes, changing batteries and putting in wind speed and directin sensrs(传感器), they finished imprving the wrld’s highest autmated(自动化的)weather statin, which was setup by Chinese scientists last year． Besides, they cllected ice-snw samples n the tp fr further research．
The weather statin recrds temperatures, wind speeds and ther key data fr studying climate change． Climate scientists have fund that glbal warming has had a large influence n the glacier number n the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(青藏高原)．
Over the last fifty years, the temperature n the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has risen abut 0．5℃ every ten years． Studying the ecsystem(生态系统)f the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will help scientists have a better understanding f the influence f climate change, and help scientists and the gvernment make prper decisins．
Since the mid-20th century, China has sent different research expeditin teams t Qmlangma． But because f limited resurces and technlgies, many key scientific questins are still unanswered, such as whether glbal warming can melt the ice at the tp f Qmlangma, and hw ecsystem can change as height increases t extremity．
27．Hw many times has the Chinese science expeditin team reached the tp since last year?
A． Once．B． Twice．C． Three times．D． Fur times．
28．Which paragraph best describes the picture belw?

Many f us have seen rainbws in the sky nce the sun starts shining again after it rains． Fr us t see a rainbw, the cnditins need t be just right． We need sme water drps in the air, like rain r even fg, and we need the sun t be behind us and quite lw t the grund． This is because a rainbw is created by light passing thrugh water drps．
The light that cmes frm the sun seems white t us． But the white light we see is made up f a mix f different clrs． When the light ges thrugh a raindrp, these clrs can separate ut． Each f the clrs in the rainbw has a different “wavelength”(波长)． Raindrps lk like little balls． When light hits ne f these little balls f water, the light can change directin． We call this “refractin”(折射)． Each f the different wavelengths is refracted differently． If the light hits the raindrp at the right place, the refractin separates the wavelengths ut int their different clrs．
We are taught there are seven clrs: red, range, yellw, green, blue, indig and vilet． But this isn’t exactly true． Blue and green are next t each ther in the rainbw, which is why we can see turquise(a mix f blue and green)． Brwn is a mix f red and green． But they aren’t next t each ther in the rainbw, s we dn’t see them mix t make brwn．
We wuld never see black and white in a rainbw． Black is what we see when there’s n light at all． On the ther hand, white is a mix f all the clrs tgether． When light is refracted by raindrps, it separates the white light ut, meaning it is n lnger white．
37． We can see a rainbw under the right cnditins because ________．
A． the raindrps are like little ballsB．the light ges thrugh raindrps
C． the sunshine seems t be clrfulD．the weather is fggy after it rains

All abard! Let’s take a ride n the wrld’s highest railway—the Qinghai-Tibet Railway(青藏铁路)． Sit back and enjy the jurney． Get ready fr the trip f a lifetime．
We’re leaving Qinghai Statin． The scenery alng the way is sme f the wildest in all f China． Keep yur eyes pen as we race thrugh this beautiful land． Yu might see a rare Tibetan antelpe(藏羚羊)frm yur windw．
Befre we begin ur jurney, let’s learn abut this amazing railway． It’s truly ne f the great engineering wnders f the 21st century． When it was cmpleted n July 1, 2006, the Tibet Railway set nine wrld recrds, including the wrld’s highest railway at 5,072 metres abve sea level, the wrld’s highest tunnel(隧道)at 4,905 metres, and the lngest tunnel ever built n permafrst(冻土)．
As we travel higher, the air gets thinner and thinner． Sn there will nly be 50 t 60 percent f the xygen which we are used t breathing． But dn’t be afraid． Each rail car has tw separate xygen systems． One system spreads xygen thrughut the train at all times． And each passenger can als get a persnal xygen mask just like thse used in planes．
Here are a few mre things t think abut as ur train leaves the statin． The designers slved three main challenges when building this great railway． First, the high altitude(海拔)made the task difficult because there was n enugh xygen． Secnd, much f the railway runs acrss permafrst, a type f grund that keeps changing as the weather warms and cls． Finally, the railway ges thrugh sme f the mst sensitive eclgy(敏感的生态环境)in China． Great care was necessary t make sure f the smallest pssible influence n nature．
All three challenges were met, making ur trip pssible． All abard! The train t Tibet is leaving in fifteen minutes．
18．Where are the passengers?
A． On a bus．B． On a train．C． On a ship．D． On a plane．
19．Hw des the text shw the railway is amazing in paragraph 3?
A． By telling a stry．B． By using a designer’s wrds．
C． By intrducing its wrld recrds．D． By cmparing the present with the past．
20．Hw many xygen systems are there in each rail car?
A． One．B． Tw．C． Three．D． Fur．
21．Which f the fllwing increased the difficulty f building the railway?
A．The changing grund．B．The plluted air．C．The dangerus animals．D．The ht weather．

Have yu ever watched a shw abut the wild? A shark(鲨鱼)eats a seal! Lins run dwn a gazelle! Is all nature like that? All abut eating and bld? Or is that just what keeps ur eyes glued t the TV screen? Let’s lk at snic living things wh wrk with each ther instead f ripping each ther apart．
When a lin kills a gazelle, it wants t eat as much as it can and maybe share the rest with its family． There are sme living things that will take small pieces f anther living thing’s bdy．Parasitism is when ne living thing gets its energy frm anther living thing, des nt give anything back, and hurts the thing it’s taking things frm．
Nw let’s get a little nicer． Smetimes a living thing will live ff the bdy f anther living thing withut hurting it． They d nt steal anything． They d nt bite． Cmmensalism is when tw living things live tgether and ne gets gd things ut f it while the ther is nt hurt by it． Have yu seen a picture f a whale(鲸)with rcky white things stuck t its skin? Thse are barnacles(藤壶)． They attach themselves t the whale, s nthing will try t eat them and they can eat things that flat by．
Nw let’s get really nice． While sharks are biting and lins are fighting, are there any animals that just get alng? Yes! Actually, there are many．Mutualism is when tw living things wrk tgether and bth get gd things ut f it． Bees and flwers are the mst cmmn example． Withut flwers, bees culd nt make hney． Withut bees, flwers culd nt make new seeds． It’s win-win fr these tw． There are lts f animals that get alng． Birds will live n the backs f zebras and eat the ticks that are drinking the zebra’s bld． The bird gets fd． The zebra gets its ticks taken away． In sme f these cases, ne animal culd nt live withut the ther．
We use the wrd “Symbitic(共生的)” fr all f these kinds f relatinships． Smetimes it’s gd fr ne and bad fr the ther． Smetimes it’s just gd fr ne． Smetimes it’s even gd fr bth． S, it is nice t knw that there are sme living things ut there that are finding ways t live tgether． We culd pay attentin t the animals that d nt always make it n TV．

Researchers are using an underwater drne(无人机)t get infrmatin n carbn dixide(CO₂)levels in the cean． It is believed t be the first time that such a device(装置)has been used purpsely t test CO₂ levels．
The device, which the team als calls a glider, is designed t g dwn t 1,000 meters in deep cean areas and can perate fr weeks at a time．
The purpse f the research is t prvide scientists with data(数据)abut hw climate change is influencing the cean’s chemistry． The self-swimming drne was placed in the Gulf f Alaska this spring． Reprters frm The Assciated Press recently jined researchers n a bat in Alaska’s Resurrectin Bay t see the drne in actin．
The team says the prject culd be a majr step frward in measuring(测量)the envirnmental health f ceans． The scientists are mst interested in levels f cean acidificatin(酸性)． This happens when CO₂ emissins(排放)in the air make their way int the cean． Ocean acidificatin can harm r kill sme kinds f sea life．
Scientists have cnnected CO₂ emissins with glbal(全球)warming caused by human activities．
In a way, ceans have given humans a helping hand by taking in(吸收)sme f the CO₂． If there were n ceans’uptake, there wuld be much mre CO₂ in the air． This wuld trap mre f the sun’s heat and further warm the Earth．
“But the prblem nw is that the cean is changing its chemistry because f this uptake,” said team member Claudine Hauri．
One f the best ways t measure cean acidificatin is t cllect CO₂ measurements． Until nw, these cllectins were mstly dne frm ships r with devices flating at the cean surface r n the cean flr．

B． It is used t measure cean acidificatin．
C． It is used t stp CO₂ frm entering the cean．
D． It is used t measure CO₂ levels in the air．
32．What des the underlined wrd “uptake” in Paragraph 6 mst prbably mean?
A． The act f cvering an area．B． The act f slwing smething dwn．
C． The act f taking smething in．D． The act f killing r harming smething．
33．What is trubling the scientists?

Being sad r in a lw md is a nrmal(正常的)part f life． Many peple feel dwn frm time t time． Fr example, when peple face challenging events in their lives, such as financial(经济的)difficulty r majr changes, it’s cmmn t feel dwn． But in mst cases the bad feelings slwly disappear．
As fr depressin(抑郁症), hwever, the bad md lasts fr weeks, mnths, r even lnger because it is a mental(精神的)illness． As the Wrld Health Organizatin(WHO)nted, depressin is a md disrder． It shws in different ways, including lss f interest in nrmal activities and feelings f lw self-wrth． It ften lasts fr a lng time and greatly harms a persn’s ability at wrk r schl r in the daily life． Peple with depressin usually dn’t like t talk abut their prblems with thers． Mre seriusly, depressin may even lead t the act f killing neself．
“Depressin is nt just a but(一阵)f sadness r a sign f weakness, and yu can’t just simply stp feeling depressed．” said the health news website www．mayclinie．cm．
But depressin is nt a persn’s prblem． It’s als mre cmmn than mst peple think． It is hurting abut 280 millin peple arund the wrld, accrding t WHO．
Thugh depressin is wrrying, we dn’t have t be afraid f it． Depressin can be treated by getting prfessinal(专业的)help, taking medicine r a mixed treatment f bth． In fact, when yu begin t feel the danger f depressin, yu can try t deal with it early by yurself． Listening t music, ding sme sprts and drawing sme pictures might help yu feel better． Anther useful way is talk therapy． When we are attacked by a lw md, having a cnversatin with thers is f great help． Being hnest abut hw we feel des nt make us weak, it makes us human．
34．Wh is mst prbably experiencing depressin?
A． Lily, wh is ging t have an imprtant exam and hasn’t slept well fr 3 days．
B． May, wh dislikes her new schl and has cmplained t her parents 3 times．

Many Chinese primary and middle-schl students can’t d husewrk tday and d nt take such wrk seriusly． As a result, sme are unable t ck r wash their wn clthes when they enter cllege．
The Ministry f Educatin has recently released the new curriculum standard(新课程标准)fr husewrk educatin fr students frm Grade 1 t Grade 9, making it an independent curse that students must take at least nce a week． The new standard requires students in Grade 1-2 t learn t sweep the flr, Grade 3-4 t learn t plant cabbages, and Grade 5-6 t master the skills f cking tw t three dishes． Students in junir middle schls will learn t repair simple electrical machines． This new standard has been widely welcmed by the public．
Wang: We all knw the imprtance f husewrk educatin． Hwever, at hme, sme students are unable t d the simplest husewrk, as their parents insist they shuld devte themselves t study． Sme f them gradually grw t be unwilling t d any kind f husewrk． Husewrk educatin is suppsed t raise students’ interest in labr, help them experience different kinds f husewrk and, mst imprtantly, crrect their attitudes tward labr． The husewrk curse will becme an imprtant step t develp and imprve persnalities f students．
Li: In rder fr students t develp in an all-rund way, it’s abslutely necessary t add the husewrk curse t schl curriculums, which aims t encurage students in primary and secndary schls t prgressively learn and lve husewrk． It is imprtant t make the husewrk class interesting, s that the students will really gain sme practical skills． Fr this reasn, schls shuld add prfessinal(专业的)teachers t give the classes, instead f adding this new stress n parents and ther teachers wh are already busy with their daily wrk．
Zhang: Sme peple think it’s unnecessary t waste time n learning husewrk． If yu want t have a meal, yu can rder fd nline, and fr electrical machine repairs, yu can ask fr specialized help． Hwever, peple with the basic skills fr daily life can g much mre cnfidently and smthly thrugh everyday life．
It is the first step in encuraging yung students t develp a healthy cncept(观念)f labr and t be able t take care f themselves in daily life．

Technlgy and sustainability(可持续性)are tw driving frces in the wrld tday． Fr the agriculture department, sustainable agriculture technlgy must be the new trend, and farmers shuld fllw it．
The fllwing sustainable agriculture technlgies are necessary．
Smart irrigatin
Crps need water—that’s needless t say． Hwever, hw they get water is anther stry．
With smart irrigatin technlgy, water can be put t gd use． New irrigatin systems with smart technlgy can reprt sil misture(湿度)and temperature in real time． These new technlgies help farmers prperly take care f crps in a mre efficient way． Fr example, mst crps have specific requirements fr temperature and misture． The new irrigatin systems can shw farmers whether they need t make changes fr their crps’ grwing envirnments． In this way, they may help reduce the waste f water．
Drnes
Drnes’ abilities get them a place n this list． They can d a lt and mst imprtantly, they can make the bring and tiring farm wrk much easier．
These devices have high-definitin cameras that take pictures and vides． Thrugh wireless cntrl, just at hme farmers can fly the drnes ver the fields and check n crps． If ne area f crps isn’t ding well, farmers can quickly recrd the details and then spray chemicals with the help f the drnes．
Data and sftware
Data is rich in this tech-driven wrld． Farming and data wrking tgether can greatly change the way farmers plant, harvest and water．
As cmputers gather infrmatin, they reprt it all back t a central system． S when farmers learn in which area crp health needs t imprve, they can use water and fertilizer(肥料)mre efficiently, causing less waste．
The three technlgies are helpful fr farmers t save csts, labr and energy． And they can cntribute t the final gal f agricultural sustainability—that is t imprve the envirnment． As these new technlgies cntinue t develp, we are sure t have a cleaner envirnment．
Sustainable agricultural technlgy is the future—and it will change the game．
