I was in a new state at a new schl and needed smething slid t stand n: a place t feel grunded. I als needed t d laundry, s I walked t a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clthes. As I struggled t clse the washer dr, the wman wrking behind the cunter tld me t give it a gd hit with my hand. The washer did its jb, yet even after an hur, the dryer seemed t have barely warmed my clthes. I left, having decided t air-dry them n my car in the August heat.
A mnth later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she tld me after I'd helped her stp a washing machine frm mving acrss the flr.

Fr nearly three years and almst every week, I'd d laundry and talk with her. We checked n each ther and expected the ther t be there. We asked where the ther had gne when we missed a week.

Climate change and increases in drught and rainstrms pse serius challenges t ur water management. An internatinal grup f scientists have brught tgether a large bdy f research n water quality in rivers wrldwide. The study shws that river water quality tends t wrsen during extreme weather events. As these events becme mre ften and severe due t climate change, ecsystem health and human access t safe water may be increasingly under threat.
The research led by Dr. Michelle van Vliet f Utrecht University analyzed 965 cases f river water quality changes during extreme weather such as drught, heatwaves, rainstrms, and flding. The analysis shws that in mst cases water quality tends t becme wrse during drughts and heatwaves (68%), rainstrms and flds (51%), and under lng-term changes in climate (56%). During drughts, less water is available t dilute cntaminants（稀释污染物),while rainstrms and flds generally result in mre cntaminants that run ff frm land t rivers and streams. Imprvements r mixed respnses in water quality are als reprted fr sme cases, fr example when increased transprt f pllutants is ffset (抵消）by mre dilutin during fld events.
Water quality changes are strngly driven by changes in water temperature. Land use and ther human factrs such as wastewater treatment als shape hw this plays ut. "Understanding the cmplex interplay between climate, land use, and human drivers, which tgether influence the surces and transprt f pllutants is crucial," says van Vliet. The research als calls fr mre data cllectin and studies f water quality in nn- Western cuntries. "We need better mnitring f water quality in Africa and Asia. Mst water quality studies nw fcus n rivers and streams in Nrth America and Eurpe."
The results f the study underline the urgent need fr a better understanding f water quality changes during extreme weather events. It sunds an alarm t us. Only then will we be able t develp effective water management strategies that can safeguard ur access t clean water and ensure ecsystem health under climate change and increasing weather extremes.
28. What can we learn frm paragraph 1?
A. Human beings shuld be blamed fr climate change.
B. Wrsened water quality is threatening the climate.
C. Water quality in rivers wrldwide is under risk.
D. Water management has been imprved recently.

A. Water quality in nn-Western cuntries is mre terrible.
B. Human activities have a big influence n water quality.
C. Related data cllectin and studies f Eurpe is adequate.
D. Water quality changes are dminated by water temperature.

Danne Prtugal intrduced a new ygurt named Junts. Fr every pack f ygurt that a persn bught, he wuld dnate ygurt t a family in need. Danne had dne its research. Increasingly, peple say they want t buy frm brands that give them a sense f purpse. Surely a ygurt that helped the needy wuld be appealing. But Junts was a failure. Despite sinking millins int a marketing campaign, Danne pulled Junts frm the market nly mnths after it was launched. Nw the same prduct is simply marketed as a tasty ygurt.
What happened? T find the reasn behind Junts failure, Lawrence Williams and his clleagues did an experiment where they shwed peple sme prducts and asked these peple t pick ne ptin. They reminded sme t fcus n the "purpseful and valuable" aspect while thers were tld t "enjy themselves" and fcus n "delight and pleasure." They fund that participants wh priritized meaning preferred the less expensive prduct when cmpared with peple wh put pleasure in the first place.
S why were meaning-seekers cheaping ut? Lawrence Williams asked participants t explain their decisin-making t find ut. He learned that meaning-riented peple were nt thinking abut hw the prduct they might buy culd bring meaning t their lives. Instead, they were ccupied with what else they culd d with their mney.
I am all fr peple making wise and strategic financial chices. But cheap prducts can create many prblems. Inexpensive ptins ften d nt last as lng as the higher-end nes. As a result, we shp mre ften, which is ultimately wrse fr ur wallets. Plus, that spending pattern can d a greater damage t the envirnment. Thanks in part t fast fashin, peple buy 60 percent mre clthing tday than they did 15 years ag. The fashin industry alne emits mre greenhuse gases than internatinal flights and maritime (海洋的）shipping cmbined.
S befre yu dive int yur wallet fr sme deals, try nt t fix nly n what yu are spending r saving. Think carefully abut what yu are buying, t.
32. What is the main reasn fr the failure f Junts?
A. It ignred marketing strategies.B. It priced itself relatively high.
C. It lacked a particularly gd taste.D. It fcused n delight and pleasure.
33. What can be inferred abut meaning seekers?
A. They frequent high-end stres.B. They think prducts extend their lives.
C. They hesitate t make decisins.D. They make mre purchases with mney.
34. Hw is Paragraph 4 mainly develped?
A. By giving sme examples.B. By listing numbers and data.
C. By explaining reasns.D. By making sme cmparisns.
35. Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. Innvatin: a Prduct's LifeB. T Buy r nt t Buy
C. Meaning seekers r Quality-pursuersD. Fast Fashin: a Hit t Yur Wallet

There are many nline and in-persn curses prmising t teach a “native accent”. But is it really necessary t sund exactly like a native speaker? Sme experts say it is nt. Eusebia V. Mnt leads the Accent Mdificatin(修正) Prgram at the University f Maryland’s Department f Hearing & Speech Sciences. Mnt talked abut it t reprters.
Students cme t the prgram fr ne r tw schl terms. They meet in a grup fr 90 minutes a week. Each student meets with ne ther student and a “dctr” fr mre individual wrk. Altgether the prgram amunts t abut 60 hurs f learning in class. Mnt says the rate f prgress abslutely depends n the type f accent it is, hw lng they’ve been speaking English and hw ften they speak English.
Mnt says, “I view accent as the spread f culture; the spread f a persn’s individual identity — and I dn’t wrk t remve any part f culture frm an individual.”
Students will mst prbably wrk in English-speaking envirnments when they leave schl. The prgram teaches them tls fr this. Fr example, they learn hw t give an “elevatr pitch” — a shrt descriptin f an idea — and hw t discuss their research. They als practice interviewing and giving presentatins at wrk.
Mnt says that there are a few methds fr mdifying accent, but mst have the same basis. One methd is called the Cmptn Methd. Arthur J. Cmptn develped the methd fr English learners wh knw English vcabulary and grammar fairly well. It begins with a test t find ut hw the student’s native language affects different areas f prnunciatin. Then learners use practice materials t recrd their wn vice and cmpare their prnunciatin attempts t recrdings f a native speaker.
Anther methd is the Tmatis Methd, which uses special headphnes and includes listening t electrnically mdified vices and asks students t find the difference between their prnunciatin and the vices they hear. This methd is als used t cure children wh have mental cnditins that can cause difficulty in language learning.
Mnt’s final advice t English learners is nt t expect t sund exactly like a native speaker. And remember: even native English speakers d nt all speak alike!

A. is meant t help students get rid f their accent
B. divides students int different classes based n their abilities
C. ffers students a ttal f 90 minutes’ study ver ne r tw schl terms

A. Discussing ne’s research in brief.B. Giving presentatins in a small space.
C. Getting an idea acrss t thers efficiently.D. Practicing interviewing skills in an elevatr.
38. Bth f the Cmptn Methd and the Tmatis Methd ________.
