Oliver's journey with tai chi began in her early 20s, when she was suffering from a back injury, which left her lying in bed for six months,
"As an active youngster at that time, I couldn't bear resting in bed," she explained. "My muscles became wasted and stiff（僵直的）for lack of use, and I was often in a lot of pains. So, I felt that some physical exercise would help."
She then discovered tai chi when she spotted by chance a poster advertising classes and decided to try the mysterious and exotic（异国的）sport. Oliver was immediately struck by the gentle and beautiful movements of tai chi, and to her delight, found that her occasional pains disappeared after years of practice.
"It not only helps me improve physical strength, but also provides me with many mental benefits, such as improved mood and focus, and less anxiety and depression," she added.
To further understand tai chi and the Chinese philosophy behind it, Oliver decided to begin a journey to China. In 2005, Oliver established the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center, which acts as a bridge for foreign people seeking to gain a better understanding of Chinese culture, The center supports kung fu masters in teaching martial arts （武术）and organizes events for people to experience various aspects of Chinese culture.
Apart from her tai chi classes, Oliver now serves as the director of the British Cultural Center at Shanghai University. Reflecting on her work, Oliver said, "For quite many years, my work is actually like a cultural bridge. If you don't have someone in the middle who is appreciative of all the cultures and have the desire to connect people, then it's hard for them to get to know each other. I hope I can be the bridge to bring people close together. We need to foster mutual understanding among cultures to promote peaceful relations and friendship across the globe."

A. To solve a mystery. B. To recover physical state.

Even chess experts perform worse when air quality is lower, suggesting a negative effect on cognition（认知）. Here's something else chess players need to keep in check: air pollution.
That's the bottom line of a newly published study co-authored by a researcher, showing that chess players perform objectively worse and make more suboptimal（次优的）moves, as measured by a computerized analysis of their games, when there is more fine particulate matter（颗粒物）in the air, notated as PM2.5.
More specifically, given a modest increase in fine particulate matter, the probability that chess players will make an error increases by 2.1 percentage points, and the spectrum of those errors increases by 10.8 percent. In this setting, at least, cleaner air leads to clearer heads and sharper thinking.
"We find that when individuals are exposed to higher levels of air pollution, they make more mistakes, and they make larger mistakes," says Juan Palacios, an economist in Sustain-able Urbanization Lab.
"It's pure random exposure to air pollution that is driving these people's performance," Palacios says. "Against comparable opponents in the same tournament round, being exposed to different levels of air quality makes a difference for move quality and decision quality."
The researchers also found that when air pollution was worse, the chess players performed even more poorly when under time limitation. "We find it interesting that those mistakes especially occur in the phase of the game where players are facing time pressure," Palacios says.
"There are more and more papers showing that there is a cost with air pollution, and there is a cost for more and more people," Palacios says. "And this is just one example showing that even for these very excellent chess players, who think they can beat everything, it seems that with air pollution, they have an enemy who harms them."
28. What effect does air pollution have on chess players?
A. They make fewer good choices. B. They perform subjectively worse.
C. They suffer body discomfort. D. They lose all games with computers.
29. What does the underlined word "spectrum" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Magic. B. Process.
C. Range. D. Balance.
30. What does Palacios express in the last paragraph?
A. His appeal for attention to chess players.
B. His concern about air pollution.
C. An example of chess players' performance.
D. Approaches to dealing with air pollution.
31. What's the main idea of the text?
A. Air pollution is a tough enemy chess players face.
B. Chess players make more and more mistakes.
C. There is a cost with air pollution for more people.
D. Chess players perform poorly under time limitation.

In February, news broke that Salesforce CEО Marc Benioff had taken a "digital detox（排毒）": 10 tech-free days at a French Polynesian resort. For a small group of people, taking a step back from devices is an achievable dream, but for most, it's an impossibility, especially now.
A digital detox requires dismissing technology almost entirely: taking a break from screens, social media and video conferences for multiple days. The goals—reducing stress or anxiety, and reconnecting with the physical world—are well-intentioned. However, experts say a digital detox isn't practical anymore for most people.
"Technology is very much a part of us now. We bank with an app, read restaurant menus on phones and even sweat with exercise instructors through a screen," says Seattle-based consultant Emily Cherkin, who specialises in screen-time management. It's so embedded（嵌入式的）in our lives, we're setting ourselves up for failure if we're going to go phone-free for a week."
As people become increasingly interdependent on technology, doing a digital detox no longer seems like a reasonable goal. But there may be a more realistic solution that will lessen our tech obsession（着迷）, without forcing us to totally disconnect.
Rather than cutting out technology altogether, practice digital mindfulness. Make sure the use of technology is purposeful. Instead of a full detox, digital mindfulness may be more practical for some people: less worry about cutting tech out entirely, and more focus on being intentional with its use.
The goal shouldn't be to cut off technology or to put a full stop. People still need to send an email, but can do so without getting distracted by the various online contents.
This approach is called "grey detoxing"—you're not totally immersed（沉浸的）or totally cut off from technology. Instead of causing ourselves more anxiety by attempting to live without our phones for a week, we can approach unavoidable screen time in a way that feels right for our individual lives.
32. Why does the author mention Marc Benioff in paragraph 1?
A. To criticize the idea of digital detox.
B. To urge readers to take a digital detox.
C. To bring digital detox up for discussion.
D. To recommend a French Polynesian resort.
33. Why is a digital detox impossible for most people nowadays?
A. They are more stressed and anxious.
B. They are deeply influenced by technology.
C. They are unwilling to go phone-free.
D. They tend to be more pessimistic.
34. What might be a solution to tech obsession?
A. Going on a holiday to Polynesia. B. Avoiding tech altogether.
C. Disconnecting occasionally. D. Using tech purposefully.
35. What does the author think of less screen time in modern society?
A. It is achievable. B. It is unreasonable.
C. It is ridiculous. D. It is unrealistic.

How to Do a Science Investigatory Project
A science investigatory project（SIP）uses the scientific method to study and test an idea about how something works. It involves researching a topic and creating a working theory that can be tested. 36 .You will probably need to follow this procedure if you are planning to enter a project in a school science fair, for instance. The following are some of usual processes for a science investigatory project.
Ask a question. Often, the most challenging part of a SIP is figuring out what you want to investigate. Take your time in choosing the topic you want to investigate. 37 Then consider whether it is something you can reasonably investigate for the project.
38 When planning your experiment, consider the materials that you will need. Make sure they are readily available and affordable, or even better, use materials that are already in your house. Once your preparation and planning is complete, it's time to begin. Closely follow the steps that you have planned. 39
Make your conclusion. Now that you have conducted your experiment, it's time to clearly and accurately state your findings. 40 Remember, concluding that your hypothesis（假设）was completely wrong does not make your SIP a failure. If you make clear and scientifical findings and present them well, it is also a success.
A. Discuss the issue with your instructor.
B. Plan your experiment and conduct your experiment.
C. The research paper is often the most important thing.
D. During the experiment, keep accurate records of all your results.
E. Think about something that interests, surprises, or confuses you.
F. In fact, you are now answering the question you originally asked.
G. It also involves conducting the experiment, recording and reporting the results.

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。
In a quiet suburb of Northern California, a diligent（勤奋的）high school student named Sarah had always been devoted to her academics. However, she found herself with some free time on her hands as the school year came to an end. It was then that she was struck with an idea—why not use this spare time to give back to her community?
With a newfound sense of purpose, Sarah set out to look for ways she could make a difference. She noticed that the local park was in need of some repairs and restoration, but the city lacked the budget to tackle the necessary redecoration. Regardless of some challenges, Sarah decided to take matters into her own hands. She gathered her classmates and engaged with the local businesses to provide donations, materials, and equipment needed for the restoration project. With a clear goal in mind and a team of eager volunteers, they rolled up their sleeves and began the heavy task of cleaning up the park. Everyone worked tirelessly, day after day, in the California sun.
Meanwhile Sarah had another idea in her mind. Seeing so many families in the area had been affected by the economic downturn, Sarah knew she had to do more to help. She partnered with local businesses and launched a food drive to support struggling families. Her efforts brought back hope to many families who had been struggling to make ends meet.
As Sarah and her team faced numerous obstacles（障碍）throughout the restoration project, Sarah made sure to maintain a positive attitude and gathered her classmates to keep going at the same time. One day, while painting the park's broken fence, one of the volunteers called out, "Sarah, why are we even doing this? It's never going to look good again." It was a moment of upset feelings. Sarah approached the volunteer. She placed her hands on the volunteer's shoulder and said, "I don't expect this to be easy, but we can't give up. We have an opportunity to help our community and make it a better place. That's what makes it worth the effort. Don't you think so?"
