Researchers at CU Bulder have develped a wearable device that changes the human bdy int a bilgical battery. The device is stretchy（弹性的） enugh that yu can wear it like a ring, sprt band r any ther thing that tuches yur skin. It als taps int a persn's natural heat-emplying thermelectric generatrs t change the bdy's internal temperature int electricity. "In the future, we want t be able t pwer yur wearable electrnics withut having t include a battery, said Jianliang Xia, an assciate prfessr at CU Bulder.
The cncept may sund like smething ut f The Matrix film series, in which a race f rbts have enslaved humans t harvest their precius rganic energy. Xia and his clleagues aren't that ambitius: Their devices can generate abut 1 vlt（伏特） f energy fr every square centimeter f skin space-less vlt per area than what mst existing batteries prvide but still enugh t pwer electrnics like watches r fitness trackers.
Scientists have previusly experimented with similar wearable devices, but Xia's is stretchy, can heal itself when damaged and is fully recyclable-making it a cleaner alternative t traditinal electrnics. “Whenever yu use a battery, yu're depleting（消耗） that battery and will, eventually, need t replace it, Xia said. "The nice thing abut ur device is that yu can wear it, and it prvides yu with cnstant pwer."
Just pretend that yu're ut fr a jg. As yu exercise, yur bdy heats up, and that heat will radiate ut t the cl air arund yu. Xia's device captures that flw f energy rather than let it g t waste. "The thermelectric generatrs are in clse cntact with the human bdy, and they can use the heat that wuld nrmally be sent int the envirnment," Xia said.
28. What des Xia expect f his device at present?
A. It will be used fr medical purpses.
B. It will be made smaller and wearable.
C. It will change natural pwer int electricity.
D. It will supply cnstant pwer t wearable devices.
29. Why des the authr mentin The Matrix series in the text?
A. T explain the principle.B. T make a cmparisn.
C. T intrduce a tpic.D. T analyze the cause.
30. What des the third paragraph mainly talk abut?
A. The strengths f Xia's device.B. The cnvenience f using a battery.
C. The replacement f wearable devices.D. The develpment f traditinal electrnics.
31. What d we knw abut Xia's device frm the text?
A. It perates with plenty f pwer.B. It is designed fr practical use.
C. It benefits peple's health in a way.D. It's based n traditinal electrnics.

When Jhn was grwing up, ther kids felt srry fr him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying ut the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when Jhn reached adulthd, he was better ff than his childhd playmates. He had mre jb satisfactin, a better marriage and was healthier. Mst f all, he was happier. Far happier.
These are the findings f a 40-year study that fllwed the lives f 456 teenage bys frm Bstn. The study shwed that thse wh had wrked as bys enjyed happier and mre prductive lives than thse wh had nt. “Bys wh wrked in the hme r cmmunity gained cmpetence (能力) and came t feel they were wrthwhile members f sciety,” said Gerge Vaillant, the psychlgist (心理学家) wh made the discvery. “And because they felt gd abut themselves, thers felt gd abut them.”
Vaillant’s study fllwed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers cmpared the men’s mental-health scres with their byhd-activity scres . Pints were awarded fr part-time jbs, husewrk, effrt in schl, and ability t deal with prblems.
The link between what the men had dne as bys and hw they turned ut as adults was surprisingly sharp. Thse wh had dne the mst byhd activities were twice as likely t have warm relatins with a wide variety f peple, five times as likely t be well paid and 16 times less likely t have been unemplyed. The researchers als fund that IQ and family scial and ecnmic class made n real difference in hw the bys turned ut. Wrking----at any age----is imprtant. Childhd activities help a child develp respnsibility, independence, cnfidence and cmpetence---the underpinnings (基础) f emtinal health. They als help him understand that peple must cperate and wrk tward cmmn gals. The mst cmpetent adults are thse wh knw hw t d this. Yet wrk isn’t everything. As Tlsty nce said, “One can live magnificently in this wrld if ne knws hw t wrk and hw t lve, t wrk fr the persn ne lves and t lve ne’s wrk.”
32. Vaillant’s wrds in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.
A. a descriptin f persnal values and scial values
B. an analysis f hw wrk was related t cmpetence
C. an example fr parents’ expectatins f their children
D. an explanatin why sme bys grew int happy men
33. Vaillant’s team btained their findings by _____.
A. recrding the bys’ effrt in schlB. evaluating the men’s mental health
C. cmparing different sets f scresD. measuring the men’s prblem slving ability
34. What des the underlined wrd “sharp” prbably mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Quick t reactB. Having a thin edge
C. Clear and definiteD. sudden and rapid
35. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. cmpetent adults knw mre abut lve than wrk.
B. Emtinal health is essential(必需的) t a wnderful adult life.
C. Lve brings mre jy t peple than wrk des.
D. Independence is the key t ne’s success.

I was invited t a ckut n an ld friend’s farm in western Washingtn. I parked my car utside the farm and walked past a milking huse which had apparently nt been used in many years. A nise at a windw caught my attentin, s I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying t escape. She was cvered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able t mve her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I lked arund t see hw she had gtten in. The brken windw glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece f clth int the hle and tk her utside, clsing the dr securely behind me.
When I pened my hand, the bird did nt fly away; she sat lking at me with her bright eyes. I remved the sticky spider-webs that cvered her head and wings. Still, she made n attempt t fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the windw t lng and was t tired? Or t thirsty?
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path tward my car where I kept a water bttle, she began t mve. I stpped, and she sn tk wing but did nt immediately fly away.
Hvering (悬停), she apprached within six inches f my face. Fr a very lng mment, this tiny creature lked int my eyes, turning her head frm side t side. Then she flew quickly ut f sight.
During the ckut, I tld my hsts abut the hummingbird incident. They prmised t fix the windw. As I was departing, my friends walked me t my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew t the center f ur grup and began hvering. She turned frm persn t persn until she came t me. She again lked directly int my eyes, then let ut a squeaking call and was gne. Fr a mment, all were speechless. Then smene said, “She must have cme t say gdbye.”

【解析】本文是说明文，一项实验表明--从小帮忙做家务和其他事情的孩子，长大后也不会太差，甚至非常出色.本文先从一个叫Jhn的男孩的事例开始说起.Jhn 从小就要帮忙做事情，其他小朋友都很同情他.然而，等他长大后，他却大有作为--有满意的工作，幸福的婚姻，健康的体魄而且生活得更加快乐.Vaillant的实验时长40年，在这40年里，对456名来自波士顿的青少年进行了长期的跟踪.最后发现 --从小开始帮忙做事的孩子建立起了较强的责任感，独立，自信以及其他能力，这些孩子能够容易与更广泛的人群建立良好的人际关系，能够获得丰厚的收入以及解决问题的能力--知道如何与人协作以达到共同的目标.因而，从本文可知，无论什么年龄，有事做都非常重要，从小就需要培养孩子的做事能力.有能力的人知道怎样与人合作，以及知道工作并不是一切，高情商是获得精彩人生的必需.
【解答】32. D 分析理解题.原文第二段找到Villiant的话，Bys wh wrked in the hme r cmmunity gained cmpetence and came t feel they were wrthwhile members f sciety（在家里或社群里获得能力的孩子会感受到自己的社会价值），以及最后一句 And because they felt gd abut themselves，thers felt gd abut them（因为他们对自己的感觉良好/对自己的肯定度高，所以别人也对他们的感觉良好），因而是解释孩子们感觉良好的原因，故选D.

【38题详解】本段介绍了聚会的活动安排，根据后文This is ften appreciated since at a husewarming there isn' t a lt f fd served.(这一点通常是值得赞赏的，因为在乔迁派对上不会提供很多食物)。指出因为新搬家，所以主人不会准备太丰盛的食物或太多的活动。那么本句是在建议你可以带上自己的食物或饮料与其他客人分享搬家，所以主人不会准备太丰盛的食物或太多的活动。C项：你也可以带上食物或饮料与其他客人分享。故选C。
【39题详解】本段提到在乔迁聚会上人们会聚餐，主人带领客人参观新家。上句提到，由于乔迁聚会是在搬进新家后不久举行的，人们可能会被要求帮助打开箱子。根据常识可知在乔迁聚会上让客人们帮忙干活是不常见的，A项：但这并不常见。表达了此意，与上文衔接，故选A。
【40题详解】上句介绍了乔迁聚会名称的由来，根据bring firewd t a new hme as a gift.可知人们会带柴火作为礼物，那么本空承接上文说明了带柴火的目的和作用。G项：这样人们就可以在冬天的时候保持家里温暖。符合语境。故选G。
