“You should get a cat,”my doctor said.“A cat?"I couldn't even look after myself! I took a deep breath and carefully considered the idea of welcoming a feline(猫科的)friend into my life.
Adopting an animal during the height of the pandemic was far from easy. When my partner and I found Cinnamon, her adoption information made her out as the perfect kitten. We filled out the paperwork and had a few weeks to prepare for her arrival.
When she came home, it became increasingly obvious that Cinnamon didn't understand“no”,“stop it” or“don't do that” .She was the worst cat I've ever owned.I was beginning to doubt my doctor's advice. We decided to start taking her for walks. I could hardly leave the house before, but my heart couldn't say no to Cinnamon. Cinnamon showed me what bravery looked like if there was a dog at a park, she would run toward it. She jumped without knowing where she would land. She loved adventure.I found myself mirroring her behavior after a while, jumping out of bed without a second thought. I began to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
Cinnamon unfortunately passed away after a medical accident, leaving a cat-sized hole in my heart the day she left us at only six months old. I'm no stranger to sadness or grief, but losing my pet so suddenly was the most confusing emotional experience I've ever had.She was supposed to help me through more of my life than the three short months we had her. She no longer wakes me up at 5 a.m. begging for breakfast, but she is still the reason I get up every morning.
Our time is often cut unpredictably, unmistakably short. It would be a shame to live life being anything less than brave and adventurous.

You might see loneliness as someone (usually an old person) sits alone, staring into the distance or out of a window. Such images are deceptive . Researchers have actually found that those who report experiencing loneliness the most are young people,and such images of solitude(孤独)don't match the experience of loneliness during youth. Those years are typically spent surrounded by other people,at school or at work.
Loneliness during youth can be defined as a negative feeling about a difference between the relationships we have and those we want. This means we might feel lonely in the company of others if we don't feel they understand us or share common interests with us. Although loneliness is often a difficult experience, it can help us to reconnect and to rethink our relationships so that we can build (or seek out) the ones that mean the most to us.
There are certain features of youth that tend to give rise to loneliness. In youth, our friendships are increasingly important in providing us with emotional support. Research shows that young people have higher expectations of their friendships than adults do; they show a preference for larger friend groups, more companionship and higher frequency of contact with friends. When we consider that loneliness serves the function of keeping us safe within our social world, it makes sense that the feeling like we do not“fit in", as so many young people feel, gives rise to loneliness. Another reason is our developing sense of self-discovering who we are. That often means changes to values or beliefs. It can be challenging when your friends are going through the same process, but might not follow the same path as you.Young people often report feeling lonely at school, while home is a comfortable space. But when there are difficulties at home — such as arguments or tension with family members and the departure of supportive family members — these can make the feeling of loneliness worse.
If you find yourself feeling lonely and it seems like nothing is helping, do not give up hope. It is likely that you have not yet found the strategy that works for you.Here are some practical steps you can try,
starting with what you can do on your own and moving on to ways to connect with others.
28.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“deceptive ”in paragraph 1?
A. irrelevant B.disgraceful C.misleading D.unfortunate
29.What does loneliness of young people usually refer to?
A. Not having a preference for dealing with tough things alone.
B.Not having friends or family for company when in trouble.
C.Not having interest in others'school life within the social world.
D.Not having positive attitude to the present relationships with others.

30.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason of young people's loneliness?
A. Discovery of self-identity. B.Desire for more friends.
C.Difficulties at home. D.Unfamiliar environments.
31.What will the text probably talk about next?
A.Suggestions on how to beat loneliness.
B.More reasons that cause the feeling of loneliness.
C.Strategies to deal with the arguments or tension in family.
D.Ways to face the departure of supportive family members.

About one-third of adults globally have high blood pressure, which increases the risk of having a heart attack or stroke(中风).Physical activity is known to lower blood pressure. However, many people have trouble keeping to exercise plans.
Yoga tends to be more sustainable(可持续的)than other forms of exercise because it is gentle, can be done with others and helps to relax the mind. Several experiments have found that yoga lowers blood pressure. However, these experiments have typically involved several sessions a week, which may not be achievable for many people.
To find out if yoga helps to reduce blood pressure in the real world, some researchers conducted a new study and analysed the electronic health records of 1,355 people aged 18 to 79 who practised yoga at least once a week. They compared each of these people with at least three other individuals. They had similar characteristics in terms of things like age, gender, and body mass index(BMI),but had no mention of practising yoga in their records.On average, the people who practised yoga had systolic blood pressure(收 缩压)that was 2.8 mmHg lower and diastolic blood pressure(舒张压)that was 1.5 mmHg lower than those who didn't.
This blood pressure reduction probably wouldn't make a huge difference to most people in the study, since they tended to be young and healthy. They already had normal blood pressure. But at a population level, if average blood pressure declined by this much, it would prevent a significant number of heart attacks and strokes. For example,a 2018 study found that a population-wide average systolic blood pressure reduction of 2 mmHg among middle-aged adults in the US would prevent more than 12,000 heart attacks and 7,000 strokes each year.
Based on the new study, we can't say for sure that yoga lowers blood pressure, because there may be other explanations for the findings. People who do yoga may have lower blood pressure because they tend to have better diets, not because of the yoga itself. And yoga shouldn't be seen as the replacement for blood pressure lowering medicines. Nevertheless, yoga is likely to assist in lowering blood pressure if it encourages sedentary(久坐的)people to exercise. “The greatest benefit is getting the exercise-shy to do something rather than increasing exercise in someone who does it regularly,”an expert says.
32.Which advantage does yoga have over other kinds of exercise?
A.It is easier for beginners to learn. B. It is more effective in keeping fit.
C.People are more likely to stick to it. D.People can find partners more easily.
33. Which of the following can be inferred from the new study?
A. The study took the relevant factors in reality into consideration.
B.All these participants were of the same age and gender.
C. The study analysed different kinds of exercise.
D.The researchers studied the participants'daily routine.

34.What does the author want to show by the example in paragraph 4?
A. The results are far from satisfactory.
B. Lowering blood pressure is quite easy.
C. Blood pressure reduction is beneficial.
D.Doing yoga once a week is meaningful.
35.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Other reasons have been found to explain the blood pressure reduction for certain.
B.Encouraging inactive people to do yoga possibly contributes to lowering blood pressure.
C.Having better diets is more important than practising yoga regularly for sedentary people.
D. The benefits of practising yoga are equal to taking blood pressure lowering medicines.

The idea that red means stop and green means go affects more than just traffic light colors. We have been taught from a young age that red means danger, while green means safety. 36 For something we have to look at every day, why couldn't they have been prettier colors? You're about to find out.
Before there were traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railroad companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go and green to mean caution. But train conductors ran into a problem with the color white meaning go — bright white could easily be mistaken for stars at night. 37 It has been that way ever since.
38 That means that as it travels through the air, it gets diffused(分散)less than other colors, so it can be seen from a greater distance. For example, think about how the light turns red as the sun sets. Even though the human eye is most sensitive to a yellowish-green highlighter color, it can see red from further away. But this could happen by chance.It's not clear whether that was chosen based on wavelength, contrast against green nature or natural connection of red with things like blood. 39
Yellow has a shorter wavelength than red but a longer wavelength than green. This means that red is noticeable the furthest away, yellow in the middle and green the least distance away — a helpful advanced warning for needing to slow or stop.
However, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. 40 Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school areas, some traffic signs and school buses continue to be painted the color. Keep these safe driving tips in the back of your mind whenever you see a yellow light.
A.Railway companies eventually moved to the color green for go.
B.It could be a mix of all three!
C.But why were those particular colors chosen for traffic lights?
D. Employ these driving rules and know that traffic lights have certainly come a long way.
E.Red is the color with the longest wavelength.
F.When you're impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don't get mad.
G.Eventually, highly reflective materials were developed, and red stop signs were born.

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。
The photograph of Mrs.Mueller that I took with my camera captures her seated on the sofa in our living room, smiling shyly. Mrs.Mueller was our next-door neighbor.My sister Laurel and I got to know her after her husband died.She didn't have children of her own and no relatives that we knew of.She was gentle and kind,and we considered her our special friend.
Early one December, Mrs. Mueller went into the hospital. Laurel and I were busy making Christmas presents, and we pondered(琢磨)what to make for Mrs. Mueller.It dawned on us that she would be coming home a few days before Christmas to an empty house with no holiday decorations. We lit upon the idea of decorating a small tree that would greet her with lights and cheer. We were wondering how to carry out our plan when the answer appeared.
I was in Miss O'Keefe's sixth grade class that year, and we had decorated a small tree with paper-link chains and ornaments(装饰品). It was beautiful. Best of all, it had to be removed from the classroom before Christmas vacation. Miss O’Keefe said there would be a drawing(抽签)for the tree. We would each write our name on a piece of paper and put it in the shoebox she had decorated. On the last day of school before vacation, she would draw a name, and that student could take home the tree.
After I put my folded piece of paper into the box, I closed my eyes and clasped my hands, praying quietly. Miss O'Keefe noticed me and asked,“Holly, why were you praying just now?"I told her Mrs. Mueller's story and our wish to make her happy.“Good luck!”Miss O'Keefe said with a smile.After school, I was beside myself with excitement! My mother pointed out there were 30 children who might win the tree, but I was certain I would get it because God would definitely hear my sincere prayer.
The day before vacation finally arrived. Laurel and I usually walked to and from school, but I was so sure I would
win the tree that I persuaded Mom to pick us up in the car that day.

Dear Tom,
How is everything going? I’m delighted to share my voluntary experience on environmental protection with you, which you are keen on.
Last Sunday, all the students and teachers in our school got involved in an activity concerning environmental protection. The moment we arrived the Xinhua Village by bus, we were divided into two groups, one group collecting the rubbish and the other distributing leaflets. Afterwards, a speech on “white pollution” was delivered by a teacher to raise the awareness of protecting the environment.
Inspired and thrilled, all of us thought highly of the rewarding activity. It provided us a platform where we could make a difference to environmental protection.
Yours,
Li Hua

Late that afternoon, Miss O’Keefe announced it was time for the drawing. My heart pounded. I held my breath as she took the lid off the shoebox, closed her eyes, swirled her hand around in the box of folded pieces of paper, and drew one out. She opened her eyes, unfolded the paper, looked at it, and proclaimed, “Holly has won the tree.” I was ecstatic! After school, some of my classmates carried it to our car and put it into the trunk carefully so the ornaments wouldn’t get knocked off. Mom had a key to Mrs. Mueller’s house. That evening, we carried the tree next door and set it up on a table in the living room.
The next day, when Mrs. Mueller’s car turned into her driveway, we hurried over to welcome her back. We followed as she slowly made her way into the house and turned on the lights. The moment she saw the tree, she wore a look of surprise. Then, a sweet smile appeared, tears filling her eyes. She turned to us and softly said, “Thank you.” My parents had told us that making others happy would bring us more true joy than a pile of presents under the tree ever could. One of the happiest Christmases I recall is the one when we got a tree for Mrs. Mueller.

W: You are so active.
M: Yeah. Do you like doing exercise?

W: ⑧I like this apartment. The facilities and location are suitable for us.
M: I agree with you, ⑧but the real headache is the price. It’s way beyond our budget.
W: Yes. ⑨⑩There’s a nice bedroom for us, one each for Jenny and Jerry, plus a spare one.
M: That’s probably why they are asking so much for this apartment.
W: What do you think of the outside?
M: It’s hard to tell in the dark. Maybe we should come again in the morning or afternoon.
W: I have been around this area in the daytime and it does seem nice.

M: ⑪⑫Michelle, I must recommend the wonderful Chinese restaurant I went to last night. It’s called Jasmine Restaurant.
W: Is it a new restaurant?
M: No, I think it’s been around for a while. ⑪Many people went there to eat. It took me 40 minutes to get a seat.
W: Wow!
M: ⑫And you wouldn’t believe how many people we know were there, too. I saw Mrs. Williams and her family there.
W: Oh my God, ⑫a lot of people went there on a Wednesday night, huh?
M: Yes, you do have to go to this place. The menu is about 10 pages long.
W: Since there are so many dishes, ⑬how did you decide what to eat?
M: ⑬Actually, I just ordered whatever the people around me were eating.
W: I think that’s what I would have to do.

W: Good morning. ⑭I’m thinking about buying some new furniture for my living room. Could you help me?
M: ⑭Certainly. As you can see, we have several three-piece suites on sale. Feel free to sit down and test how comfortable they are.
W: ⑮I came to your store yesterday and have come back today to make the final decision. ⑯I think I like the black leather suite. It’s on sale, isn’t it?
M: ⑯Yes, it is. The price is $ 1,000 after a 50% discount.
W: It’s a real bargain. I’ll take it. I also like the design of these floor lamps.
M: These floor lamps are very nice and you can adjust the brightness.
W: OK, I’ll buy two. ⑰I also need some cushion covers. I’ll just look at those ones over there.

M: You probably hop into bed without giving your sleep posture much thought. But there are benefits of different positions that can be helpful to know about:
Side Sleeping
“Side sleeping is ideal for neck problems,” said Dr. David Greenwald, a neurosurgeon.
⑲Dr. Chris Winter, a sleep specialist, noted that there’s some evidence to suggest sleeping on your left side is better for circulation.
⑱Michael J. Breus, a clinical psychologist, recommended side sleeping for anyone with high blood pressure.
Back Sleeping
“Often sleeping on your back relieves pressure points,” ⑲Winter explained. “You may want to sleep on your back if you are struggling with shoulder or knee pain.” he added.
Stomach Sleeping
“The free-fall stomach position, where you lay on your stomach with your hands above a supportive pillow, is the best sleep position for digestive issues like indigestion and heartburn.” Breus said. ⑳However, Breus warned stomach sleeping can probably result in muscle and neck pain.
