The 27-year-ld girl just graduated frm the University f Liverpl with a degree in Aerspace Engineering and she has set her sights n being an astrnaut. But winning her title just a few mnths befre cmpleting her degree was n easy task. She is the first rcket scientist t be crwned Miss England.
Gagen was able t balance between her cmpetitin and her schlwrk, but the stress f ding bth left her with chest pains and insmnia（失眠）. Hwever, she didn’t give up.
“The way t get t this pint was a rck y five years in the making, and I faced challenges befre I’d even begun,” Gagen tld The Daily Mail. “I think it’s imprtant that tday’s yuth knw that smetimes things dn’t g entirely as planned, and that’s perfectly OK.”
Befre starting at the university, Gagen studied a year in physics while wrking at weekends because she didn’t have all the curses she needed fr the prgram. She began studying at the university in 2019 and when the pandemic hit, all the cursewrk went nline. She did this while wrking full time at night.
“I’d return hme t d that day’s nline lectures and hmewrk and then stp at 8 pm t get ready fr bed, befre the cycle wuld repeat. I was cnstantly knackered, but I was a mature student and had bills t pay.”
During the curse f her studies, Gagen saw that there were very few females in engineering and decided t make it her duty t prmte careers in science fr wmen and girls n her scial media. This idea led t her being scuted（物色） fr the Miss England cntest. In 2022 Gagen was accepted int a Master’s prgram and she entered the Miss England pageant and wn.

Many peple live with chrnic（慢性）pain, and there’re cmplex reasns fr it. Nw a new study researcher Laura Case f the University f Califrnia, San Dieg, c-authring with Jennifer Baumgartner, suggests a new ptential influence n pain: feeling scially cnnected.
This new study reanalyzed measures cllected in an earlier study, in which a grup f chrnic pain sufferers had been randmly arranged an interventin（干预）shwn t reduce pain（sleeping with a heavily-weighted blanket） r t a cntrl cnditin（sleeping with a slightly-weighted blanket）. After sleeping with their blankets fr a week, changes in peple’s pain levels were assessed.
In the earlier study, the pain sufferers had als reprted n their anxiety, levels f lneliness, and sense f scial cnnectedness—nt hw many scial cnnectins they had, but hw generally clse they were t ther peple and hw strngly they experienced a sense f belnging. But these hadn’t all been analyzed t see hw they related t pain and pain relief frm the blankets. That’s where the new study came in.
The new findings shwed that peple wh were mre scially cnnected experienced less pain than thse wh were less scially cnnected. After taking int accunt differences in hw much pain relief the sufferers expected and hw painful they felt in the beginning, thse wh were scially discnnected felt mre pain relief frm the weighted blanket than frm the lighter blanket, while mre scially cnnected peple received equal pain relief frm bth blankets.
These findings shw that having a sense f belnging prvides sme level f prtectin against pain. Why? Scially cnnected peple prbably feel safer and less anxius, says Baumgartner, because they knw they can depend n thers fr supprt when they’re hurting. Besides, psitive scial tuch—like receiving a friendly hug r massage—has been shwn t reduce pain feel, and peple wh’re mre scially cnnected likely experience mre f thse types f tuch, Case adds.
Their study adds t a grwing bdy f research shwing hw imprtant scial cnnectedness and scial tuch are fr ur health and happiness—smething that’s been getting mre attentin in recent years.
28．What did the new study mainly fcus n?
A．The participants’ pain levels.B．The participants’ similar sense f belnging.
C．The different interventins.D．The effects f scial cnnectins n pain.
29．What can be learnt frm the new study?
A．The weighted blanket benefited thse scially discnnected a lt.
B．Peple’s initial pain levels had few effects n the participants.
C．Peple having mre scial cnnectins experienced n pain.
D．Being scially discnnected wrsened peple’s pain.
30．What des Case prbably suggest peple d in paragraph 5?
A．Cmpete with each ther.B．Avid t much tuch.
C．Hug their friends mre.D．Cntrl their feelings.
31．Frm which sectin f the newspaper is the text prbably taken?

What d peple assciate with the Metrplitan Museum f Art called the Met? Fr mst, this New Yrk museum is a treasure trve（宝库）f beautifully-scheduled artistic expressin. After all, its cllectins include 1.5 millin wrks f art frm prehistry t the present.
But since September 9,2023, as Hyperallergic reprts, the Met is als the setting fr a new, super-creative center fr kids aged 3-11 and their families, named “81st St Studi”, which sets ut t help children understand the materials used t make art. Cming in thrugh the entrance, visitrs see tree trunks, cardbard and a carved wden screen amng ther examples. Visitrs can participate in activities such as wdblck carving and drum making.
Accrding t Heidi Hlder, Chai r f the Met’s educatin department, there’s n cntradictin in this new attempt. She recently said the Met is a science institutin. As she explains, “We have three big parts f urselves: ur scientific research, ur cnservatin and ur art.” As Hlder explains, even when bjects created hundreds f years earlier cme in, a scientific understanding f the materials used will help peple better understand the art itself.
The exhibit is rich with art and science activities t encurage self-expressin. There’re n traditinal glass exhibitin cupbards here. Instead, the 3,500-square-ft center is filled with seven statins that encurage visitrs t explre them using all their senses. As Hlder said, “It’s an pen space where yu can create yur wn path. Yu can learn at yur wn pace. Yu can take risks, be curius, have fun, and discver things.”
A music installatin（装置）, fr instance, helps kids understand hw materials influence sund. It cnsists f several creative music-making devices. Curius yung visitrs can pull pen small, drawer-like bxes. Fr example, an accrdin lets ut an airy sund as the pening and clsing mtin cmpresses（压缩） the air inside it.
In agreement with its ambitins t serve as a cmmunity center, the 81st St Studi is free t enter fr children and their caregivers, n museum ticket required, during regular Met hurs.
