A new version of a student loan forgiveness application will be officially launched by the Education Department later this month.It is to cancel up to $10,000 in debt for those earning less than $125,000 per year and up to $20,000 for those who received Pele Grants.It will not forgive any student loan debt under the debt relief plan prior to October 23,2022.

How long the application will be up:The department is offering periodic access to the form-so borrowers may have to refresh the site page or keep checking back. The application will be available through Dec.31,2023.

What the application asks for:It requires only basic information,including name,birth date,Social Security number,phone number and an e-mail address. Borrowers will not need what's known as an FSA ID to log into the application, nor will they need to upload any documents,including tax records.

Instead of providing documents that confirm you,as an individual,earned $125,00 in 2020 or 2021 or, as a couple,less than $250,000,the application simply asks borrowers to check a box to guarantee under the laws that all information provided on this form is true and correct.

Open-air jazz、locally-grown vegetables,Foeaceia bread,goat cheese,and Narean raining all competed against a rainstorm last Tuesday at West side Farmers Market's annual College Night.

And the vendors（商贩）held out pretty well、Even as the raindrops intensified，folks kept exploring the tables stationed in the parking lot of St. Monica Church. Among the crowd were a number of college students,mostly from the University of Rochester, likely brought in by the College Night awards being offered—a five-dollar token（购物券），a handbag；and a prize raffle entry,all free of charge.

Now in its 15th year, West side volunteer Jackie Farrell said the market partners merely with local farms,businesses,and community groups to populate its tables.“Our mission really is to serve the people in the community, getting them health and nutrition information, and connecting them to the farmers who grow the produce,”Farrell said,“Everything has to be local.It's a producer-only market,so you have to grow or produce whatever you're going to sell here.”Those producers had diverse offerings. Vegetables, of course, were abundant but sellers also pushed cheeses,spreads,bread,prepared pasta dishes,and much more.

The community groups offering information were diverse too. Recovery All Ways, a local nonprofit with a stated“mission to support anyone affected by substance use disorder”handed out Narc-an and trained people in its use. Their station was next to a Moms Demand Action tent, where staffers provided information on physical safety. SNAP-Ed nutrition and benefits educators also ran a table.

T  he activities of the stations was scored by live music.The University's Midnight Ramblers performed,and a local jazz band played away as the rain showers started rolling in.

Farrell hoped that the College Night promotion would help make students more comfortable crossing the bridge into the Rochester community.“We love college students,and we keep encouraging them that all they have to do is go across the bridge.”

24.What attracted college students to the College Night?

A.Free prizes.   B.Scenery in the rain.

C.Interesting books.   D.Featured goods.

25.What is the characteristic of West side Farmers Market?

A.It is managed by farmers themselves.

B.Its visitors are mostly university students.

C.Its offerings are locally grown or prepared. D.Farmers provide more vegetables than corn.

26.Which of the following can best describe the College Night?

A. Crowded and chaotic.  B.Busy and festive.

C.Luxurious and splendid.  D.Romantic and peaceful.

27.What might be a suitable title for the text?

A. Wes tside Farmers Market is flowering rapidly

B.College Night channels products to community

C.College Night bridges university and community

D.West side Farmers Market is expanding nationwide

Electronics woven（编织）into fabrics promise to open up all kinds of interesting possibilities,from clothing that monitors muscle activity and tracks breathing,to garments that can talk to one another. Developing pliable power sources to go with them is an equally important field of research,so scientists at the University of British Columbia have put forward a particularly impressive solution that they say could be the first ever battery that is both stretchable and washable.

To develop a battery with such capabilities,the scientists re-imagined the way these devices are put together. Rather than forming a lithium-ion battery packed with hardened materials inside a rigid exterior，the team turned to an alternative chemistry in zinc-manganese（锌锰）dioxide, which is appealing for its low cost and safety. These materials were ground down into tiny pieces and inset in a polymer（聚合物）to form very thin and stretchable layers.

“We went with zinc-manganese because for devices worn next to the skin, it's a safer chemistry than lithium-ion batteries,which can produce deadly compounds when they break,"says Nguyen.

The resulting battery is flexible and can be stretched to twice its normal length, has a specific capacity of 160 mAh g-1 and keeps 75 percent of its capacity over 500 charge and discharge cycles.Impressively,the team found the battery to withstand 39 wash cycles so far.

The team is now working to improve the power output and lifetime of the battery, and says the creation has already attracted commercial interest, with the cost expected to be similar to a standard rechargeable battery. They imagine it being put to use in watches and patches that measure vital signs,and in smart clothing that does much the same thing.

28.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“pliable” in paragraph 1?

A.Strong.  B.Multiple.  C.Reliable.  D.Flexible.

29.What was a major consideration for introducing zinc-manganese battery?

A.Safety.   B.Hardness.  C.Comfortableness.   D.Convenience.

30.Which aspect of the new battery impressed the researchers in paragraph 4?

A.Its wash ability.  B.Its stretch length.

C.Its massive capacity.  D.Its charge speed.

31.What is the main idea of the text?

A.Electronic clothing is well received.

B.Clothing fitted with new battery is on the way.

C.Clothing-friendly battery can be put through wash.

D.Electronics woven into fabrics open up possibilities.

Though researchers have long known that adults build unconscious（无意识的）preferences over a lifetime of making choices between things that are essentially the same, the new finding that even babies engage in this phenomenon demonstrates that this way of justifying choice is intuitive（凭直觉的）and somehow fundamental to the human experience.

“The act of making a choice changes how we feel about our options,”said Alex Silver,a Johns Hopkins researcher.“Even infants who are really just at the start of making choices for themselves have this preference.”

The findings are published today in the journal Psychological Science. People assume they choose things that they like. But research suggests that's sometimes backwards: we like things because we choose them. And, we dislike things that we don't choose."Adults make these inferences unconsciously,”said co-author Lisa Feigenson, a Johns Hopkins scientist in child development.“We justify our choice after the fact.”

This makes sense for adults in a consumer culture who must make random choices every day,between everything from toothpaste brands to styles of jeans. The question was when exactly people start doing this. So they turned to babies, who don't get many choices so, as Feigenson puts it,are“a perfect window into the origin of this tendency.”

The team brought 10- to 20-month-old babies into the lab and gave them a choice of objects to play with;two equally bright and colorful soft blocks. They set them far apart, so the babies had to crawl to one or the other——a random choice. After the baby chose one of the toys, the researchers took it away and came back with a new option. The babies could then pick from the toy they didn't play with the first time,or a brand new toy. Their choices showed they “dis-prefer the chosen object.”

To continue studying the evolution of choice in babies,the lab will next look at the idea of "choice overload." For adults,choice is good,but too many choices can be a problem,so the lab will try to determine if that is also true for babies.

32.What is people's assumption about the act of making choices?

A.They like what they choose. B.They choose what they like.

C.They base choices on the fact. D.They make choices thoughtfully.

33.Why were babies selected as subjects for the study?

A.To help them make better choices.

B.To guide them to perceive the world.

C.To track the root of making random choices.

D.To deepen the understanding of a consumer culture.

34.What does the study on the babies show?

A.They like novel objects.

B.Their choices are mostly based on colors.

C.Their random choices become preferences.

D.They are unable to make choices for themselves.

35.What will the following study focus on?

A.The law of“choice overload”.

B.The problem of adults' many choices.

C. Why too many choices can influence adults.

D.Whether babies are troubled with many choices.

To put into words my time in Antarctica and South Georgia is nearly impossible. I had always described it as a once in a life lime experience, but as soon as I stepped foot on the continent,I immediately knew I needed to return.

Things move fast in Antarctica,and every month offers something really unique and special to see.In March,the weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again.__39__In two more weeks,expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice.

The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process.__40__The expedition team made sure we kept our distance and did not scare them into hiding under freezing water.

These animals, arguably the cutest you will ever see, survive such unfavorable environments.It's absolutely incredible to witness the challenges,the skill,the efforts,all of it.I am forever grateful to have been a visitor.

A.The list goes on.

B.But this is not always the case.

C.Our voyage was the last of the season.

D.I was not the only one who felt this way.

E.I,years later,did return to this fascinating place.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

On the Friday after Thanksgiving,the busiest shopping day of the year,I went for breakfast in downtown Little Rock.

Even at 8 a.m.there was a waiting line at the cafe.Customers stood in groups,chatting and rubbing their cold hands together, waiting to share a hot breakfast and more conversation before pouring into the stores for bargains.I could feel the cheery excitement of the holidays,but it was tied with the usual stress that spoils the season with layers of anxiety and tiredness.

Finally,I was seated by a large window.I noticed that it had begun to rain lightly outside. “Oh,no,”I complained.“I'm going to be dashing around in the rain. Shopping will be messy today!”I heard others complaining,too.

Then,out of the corner of my eye,I noticed an elderly man on the other side of the window,making his way carefully down the sidewalk.He was carrying a black umbrella in his left hand，sheltering himself from the rain，and balancing several brooms（扫帚）on his right shoulder. Beneath a thin gray coat,he was dressed in a brown pants. A striped ski cap protected his head and thick glasses covered his eyes. As I watched,he smiled and stepped politely aside to allow a couple to rush by.

"Who's that?"I asked the waitress.

"That's Melvin. He's been walking these streets for years and years. I've heard he put several orphans through college selling those brooms.He's almost blind and in his seventies,but he keeps on keeping on. I don't know how he does it. Everybody buys brooms from him. He lives a poor life but he was a wonderful person. People here have always been good to him. "

Suddenly I was curious. This dear man could hardly see. Selling brooms on the streets could not earn good money. Melvin was the one who needed help!“So how do he help people?”I asked frankly.
