Mst f us lk frward t the weekend as a time t relax, cnnect with friends and family, and handle items frm a t-d list that gets unnticed during the wrk week. But as the weekday des cme t an end, many f us are missing ut n enjying the weekend and instead experiencing a sense f anxiety and even fear fr the upcming week. Experts call this phenmenn Sunday scaries.
Sunday scaries, als knwn as the Sunday blues, arise when individuals expect the upcming wrk week with a cmbinatin f varius factrs such as wrk-related cncerns, unfinished tasks, the end f weekend relaxatin, and the pressure t start the new week. As a result, individuals may find it challenging t unwind and relax befre the new week begins.
A clinical psychlgist, Renée Gff, said, "Sunday scaries are mre than a physical heaviness fr them, but they culd even jump ut f their skins due t the upcming week. The negative emtins assciated with Sunday scaries can have a significant impact n ne’s mental well-being and verall prductivity."
"As a matter f fact, such anticipatry anxiety is a natural respnse that happens in preparatin fr anything that can cause pain r discmfrt," explains psychtherapist Angela Ficken. "Sunday scaries might even start bubbling up as early as Saturday, but tend t becme less intense by the time Mnday mrning rlls arund when yu start yur wrk week. This desn't mean we leave them unchecked."
T battle anticipatry anxiety fr the upcming week, individuals can adpt self-care practices that prmte relaxatin and stress reductin. This may include engaging in hbbies, spending time in nature, exercising, practicing mindfulness r simply dedicating time t discnnect frm wrk-related thughts. Additinally, we can rganize tasks fr the upcming week in advance t create a sense f cntrl, reduce the Sunday scaries and prmte a healthier wrk-life balance.

We all lve butterflies. Their beautiful wings attract us, and their presence lights up ur garden. Well, that's ur view f butterflies, but have yu ever wndered what plants think f them?
The butterflies’ eggs lie n the underside f the leaves. The eggs themselves dn't damage plants. Hwever, upn cming int cntact with the eggs, the plants becme versensitive. It means that nce a plant recgnizes a pest, it will cause death in the cntacted plant part. When these dead leaves r partial leaf parts break away frm the plant, the eggs n them fall ff. Alng with the hypersensitivity respnse, plants als prduce smething special, which can attract animals t eat the eggs, thus preventing damage in the future.
After the baby butterflies cme ut f their eggs, the caterpillar(毛虫) stage begins. Mst caterpillars feed n the leaves f the plants, damaging sme f the plants in yur wn garden.

While n their search fr fd, the butterflies carry pllen(花粉) n their bdy. They are key pllinatrs that place pllen frm ne flwer t anther in ecsystem. Plants that have flwers will create sme special features t draw these pllinatrs' attentin. Certain plants have flwers giving ff smells that can charm butterflies when they are lking fr a mate. Sme plants even have flat flwers t assist butterflies when landing.
Butterflies aid in pllinatin during their final adult stage. Thus, they change int beneficial insects t plants. This change makes butterflies an imprtant friend f plants, despite being a hated enemy in previus life cycle stages!
32. Hw des a plant respnd t butterflies' eggs?
A. It tries t get rid f them.
B. It tries t appeal t them.
C. It grws a little better with them.
D. It prtects them frm being eaten.
33. When d butterflies cause the greatest damage t agriculture?

C. Shw hw flwers attract butterflies.
D. Explre hw adult butterflies develp.

(Text 10)
M: Hell, everyne. D yu knw Ben Nevis? It's the highest muntain in Britain. Tday I'll tell yu my experience f climbing it. It was in February. Our rute was up the nrth face f the muntain t Twer Ridge. We planned t camp fr three days in the "Crries", which are like big bwls cut int the walls f the muntain halfway up. Althugh the weather frecast was perfect, with n winds r snw, there was still a general feeling f nervusness when we set ut. The grup sn climbed and my legs felt heavy. Being the weakest member f the grup, I had t rest mre frequently. The thers smetimes stpped fr a break t let me catch up. After 200 meters, we reached the beginning f Twer Ridge, the path that wuld take us t the tp f Ben Nevis. After seven hurs f climbing, we reached the tp. On a clear day, yu can see the sea and right acrss it t the island f Skyey. On Ben Nevis, getting back t camp can be as much f a challenge as ging up. Yu need t be able t read a map prperly—a wrng turn wuld lead t dangerus places t g dwn in winter. When I finally came back t the tent, I culdn't say I really enjyed the experience, but at least I made it t the tp.
