Number f Steps a Day It Takes t Cut Risk f Early Death
New research suggests exactly hw many steps yu need t take each day t reduce the risk f heart disease and early death. If yu (21) _____ (fail) in yur pursuit f walking 10,000 steps a day — researchers have sme gd news fr yu.
They fund walking up t 10,000 steps a day reduces these risks. The lwest risk f early death was (22) _____ peple wh tk 9,000 t 10,500 steps a day. When it came t aviding heart attack, peple (23) _____ (manage) arund 9,700 steps a day had the lwest risks.
Experts have previusly fund peple wh spend a lt f time sitting while awake are mre likely (24) _____ (suffer) an early death and develp heart disease. It has been unclear (25) _____ walking can balance ut the effects f sitting dwn fr mst f the day — until nw.
A study, published in the British Jurnal f Sprts Medicine, analysed data frm 72,174 peple (26) _____ (age) arund 61 frm UK. Participants wre a device fr seven days t measure their exercise levels. After a seven-year fllw-up, 1,633 deaths and 6,190 cardivascular (心脏血管的) events, such as heart attack, were recrded.

Hw Lng Is a Secnd?
The length f a secnd depends n hw yu’re measuring it. There are 24 hurs in a day, 60 minutes in an hur, and 60 secnds in a minute — s surely a secnd is 1/86400, f a day, right? Well, it turns ut that __31__ time isn’t that simple.
“The secnd was __32__ based n the length f the day,” Peter Whibberley, a senir scientist at the Natinal Physical Labratry in the U.K., tld Live Science. “Peple bserved the sun passing verhead and started measuring its __33__ using sundials (日晷). Hwever, sundials have a few disadvantages. Aside frm the bvius prblem f nt being able t read a sundial when the sun isn’t visible, relying n Earth’s daily turning is surprisingly inaccurate. “The turning is nt precisely __34__,” Whibberley said. “The Earth speeds up and slws dwn ver time.” S hw can we precisely measure time if using the length f a day is s unreliable?
In the 16th century, peple turned t technlgical slutins t this prblem, and the first recgnizable mechanical clcks began t __35__. The earliest mechanical clcks, which were designed t click at a specific frequency, averaged ver the __36__ f a year.
By arund 1940, quartz crystal clcks (石英钟) had becme the new gld standard. Hwever, prblems arse, and this was where atmic clcks came in. “Atms exist nly in particular energy states and can nly change frm ne state t anther by __37__ r giving ut a fixed amunt f energy,” Whibberley explained. “That energy __38__ t a precise frequency, s yu can use that frequency as a reference fr time keeping.” The astrnmical secnd cntinued t vary. Every few years, scientists must add a secnd t allw Earth’s slwing turning t keep up with atmic time.
In fact, scientists are discussing whether it’s time t redefine the secnd again. But while several imprtant questins still need t be answered befre this __39__, it’s clear that the strictly crrect definitin f a secnd is __40__ t change.
III. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Althugh many ver-prcessed fds can satisfy the desire fr sweet, fatty, salty fds, research suggests these items are particularly bad fr the heart and brain, with md and cgnitin taking a hit.
The mst recent research lking at the __41__ f ver-prcessed fd fund the mst far-reaching results. Researchers __42__ direct links between higher cnsumptin f ver-prcessed fds and a greater risk f many health issues.
These results are __43__ earlier studies. Diets high in these fds were linked t greater risk f depressin and anxiety, accrding t an analysis published in the jurnal Nutrients. In ne f these studies, risk rse frm __44__ just 33 percent f calries frm ver-prcessed fd. A separate study fund that taking in just 20 percent f calries frm these fds was linked t a 28 percent faster rate f cgnitive __45__ cmpared with peple wh ate less prcessed fd.
Als __46__ is a study tracking abut half a millin peple living in England, Sctland, and Wales that fund the risk f dementia (痴呆) went up by 25 percent fr every 10 percent increase in ver-prcessed fd. While the exact cause-and-effect relatinship is still unknwn, the strngest evidence frm prspective studies __47__ the idea that eating high amunts f ver-prcessed fds increases the risk f depressin in the future.
It is cmmn knwledge that eating t much salt r sugar is linked t high bld pressure and Type 2 diabetes. What the public may nt appreciate, __48__, is that all these cnditins affect the brain by raising the risk fr dementia. __49__ such as certain artificial sweeteners may als disturb the prductin and release f brain chemicals, such as dpamine, which can negatively affect mental and emtinal __50__.
Anther prblem with ver-prcessed fds is that they might be addictive. Over-prcessed fds have mre in cmmn with a(n) __51__ than fds by Mther Nature. Humans have evlved t respnd t fds that are sweet, fatty, and high in calries. Fr mst f human existence this helped us __52__. But in nature, fds are __53__ mdestly high in sugar — like berries — r high in fat, like nuts. Yu dn’t find fds high in bth sugar and fat. That’s a distinctive __54__ f ver-prcessed fds. Add in salt, artificial flavrings and bright clrs, and ur brain simply __55__ these fds.

(A)
I was sitting in my high schl classrm, nervusly tapping my pencil against the desk as I awaited the start f the English exam.
As the clck struck, signaling the beginning f the exam, my heart began t race. I pened the exam bklet and scanned the questins, and I felt a wave f panic ver me. The questins seemed freign, and the tpics unfamiliar. In a state f panic, I hurriedly wrte dwn my answers, hping that smehw, by sme strke f luck, they wuld be crrect. But as the minutes went by, I realized I culdn’t seem t make sense f the questins befre me. As the final bell rang, I handed in my paper with a heavy heart.
In the days that fllwed, I culdn’t shake the feeling f failure that hung ver me like a dark clud. I replayed the exam ver and ver in my mind, analyzing every questin, every answer, searching fr clues as t where I had gne wrng.
But in the depressin, a realizatin began t dawn n me — I had failed, yes, but I had als learned valuable lessns alng the way. Armed with this newfund wisdm, I ensured that I wuld d better next time. I threw myself int my studies with renewed determinatin, devuring bks and practicing past exams with an eagerness I had never knwn befre.
When the time came t retake the exam, I was ready. I apprached each questin with cnfidence and clarity, drawing upn the lessns I had learned frm my previus missteps.
When the results were annunced, I held my breath as I scanned the list f names. And there it was — my name, shining brightly amng the list f successful candidates. At that mment, all the hard wrk, all the late nights and early mrnings, were wrth it.
And as I lk back n that sunny afternn in the high schl classrm, I am grateful fr the lessns it taught me, and the persn it helped me becme.

Get t knw yur subject and their habits
Take time t get t knw yur lcal wildlife befre shting, and yu might just capture smething truly special. Try t sht frm the perspective f the animal yu are filming. Resist the urge t just pint and click — take the time t bserve lcal wildlife and yu will see the rewards in yur phts.
Capture details in a clse-up
Ging in clse can bring sme fascinating rewards in nature phtgraphy. Zming (聚焦) int plants with frst r picking up water drps n a spider’s web can help shw the beauty we might miss in everyday life. If yu’re zming in n ne particular subject, such as a bee landing n a flwer, yu culd end up with sft-fcus bjects in the backgrund t create added interest.

(C)
At first the questin was hw quickly peple wuld get back t the ffice. Then it was whether they wuld ever return. The last three years has intrduced in a majr change in white-cllar wrking patterns. The ffice is nt dead but many prfessinals have settled int a hybrid (混合的) arrangement f sme ffice days and sme remte days.
Hybrid wrking has much t recmmend: flexibility fr emplyees, perids f cncentratin at hme, bursts f cperatin in the ffice. A new paper frm Harvard Business Schl describes an experiment in which wrkers at BRAC, a nn-prfit rganisatin in Britain, were randmly assigned t three grups, each spending different amunts f time wrking frm hme. The intermediate (中等的) grup, wh spent between 23% and 40% f their time in the ffice, perfrmed best n varius perfrmance measures.
But a shift n this large scale is bund t raise tricky issues. In wrkplaces that have mved t hybrid wrk, there are still plenty f pen questins. One is hw t handle the impact f less time in the ffice fr new jiners and yunger wrkers. Research by Emma Harringtn f the University f Iwa shws that sftware engineers receive mre feedback n their cde when the team sits next t each ther in the ffice, especially new engineers. Accrding t Nichlas Blm f Stanfrd University, making new emplyees spend mre time in the ffice can be a gd way f integrating them int cmpany culture and imprving their cmpetence. And these yunger emplyees were mst likely t quit when everyne was frced t g remte.
A secnd questin cncerns hw strictly t enfrce attendance n days when teams are meant t be in the ffice. An agreement hlds that there shuld be agreed “anchr days” n which all the peple cme t wrk in the ffice; since the idea is t spend time tgether, as many peple as pssible shuld be there. But ne persn n the team might have mved smewhere else; smene else might have asked t stay hme t let the repairer in. In practice, therefre, hybrid wrking still ften means a mixture f peple n screen and peple in the ffice.
Other questins exist. Hw t define perfrmance measures s managers d nt spend time wrrying abut lazy wrkers at hme? D yu require cmpany-wide anchr days r team-level nes? The era f hybrid wrking is nly just beginning, s it will take time fr answers t emerge. But if there is a message frm this first full year f hybrid wrking, it is that flexibility des nt mean a free-fr-all.
63. Hw can in-ffice wrk help new emplyees?
A. Giving them mre feedback frm senir emplyees.
B. Getting them t catch up with the wrk schedule.
C. Saving them the cst f staying at hme.
D. Helping them feel part f the cmpany.
64. What makes it difficult t enfrce attendance n anchr days?
A. Yung wrkers prefer wrking n screen.
B. Engineers bject t the idea f anchr days.
C. Office wrkers can’t take a day ff as expected.
D. Emplyees have varius private matters t address.
65. Which f the fllwing statements is the authr mst likely t agree with?
A. It is necessary t grant emplyees full autnmus rights.
B. Emplyers shuld g with the flw because new questins will emerge.
C. Allwing flexibility in wrk arrangements des nt mean having n rules.
D. It is n easy jb t arrange either cmpany-wide r team-level anchr days.
What des the passage mainly talk abut?
A. Hybrid wrking is utdated after wrkers’ return.
B. There are sme pen questins f hybrid wrking.
C. A shift f wrking patterns calls fr hybrid wrking.
D. Fixed restrictins shuld be applied t hybrid wrking.
Sectin C
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
Why Are Yu Still Cughing?
Have yu caught a cld recently — but can’t get rid f the cugh? Yu’re nt alne. The symptm can stick arund fr weeks after ur bdies have cleared a virus. Michael Shilh, a physician specializing in infectius disease research at UT Suthwestern Medical Center, says cughing patients ften reprt that they were sick as many as eight weeks prir t seeing him. He says, “____67____”
The United States saw a sharp rise in cases f influenza in late 2023 that’s dragged n int 2024. And thugh psitive tests fr the illness have leveled ff r decreased cuntrywide ver the past weeks, the number f peple seeking healthcare fr respiratry (呼吸的) diseases is still elevated acrss much f the U.S. ____68____ But research n hw infectins affect nerves in the airway is revealing new clues.
Cughing is an imprtant reactin that prtects the airway frm dangers like water r bits f mis-swallwed fd, says dctr and researcher Lrcan McGarvey f Queen’s University Belfast. ____69____ These nerves are decrated with receptr (受体) prteins that react t everything frm cld air t ht pepper. When a stimulus causes thse receptrs, nerves send signals t the brain that we experience as the urge t cugh.
While it may seem bvius that cughing is meant t clear ur thrats, it’s als pssible that viruses cause the reactin t help themselves spread. ____70____ And if we d ultimately cugh t clear ut ur airway during an infectin, that still wuldn’t explain what exactly ur nerves sense during an infectin that causes a cugh.
“We dn’t knw,” says electrphysilgist Thmas Taylr-Clark f the University f Suth Flrida. “But what we can say is that we d knw sme things, ne being that viruses cause infectin.”

Less Snwy Winters
Winter might mean snwball fights in many places. But this might nt be the case fr much lnger. While many peple arund the wrld are currently experiencing heavy snwfall, Earth is getting less snwy — a trend that isn’t temprary. That’s because the planet is heating up and winter is warming faster than any ther seasn in America. The water falling t earth in winter is mre cmmnly falling as raindrps than snw.
With water falling as rain instead f snw, and then freezing, sme animals may struggle t feed n grass n frzen grund. Species with white cats culd be at higher risk f being eaten as fd, while plar bears may have fewer ptins t build their snwy habitatins. Nt every species can adapt r mve t snwier climates, which may cause the extinctin f sme animals.
As air temperatures warm, trees release water int the atmsphere thrugh a prcess called evaptranspiratin, lss f water frm the sil. When there hasn’t been much snw, the sil can’t replace lst misture, and frests experience mre heat stress, making severe wildfires mre likely. “When a fire des spark, it runs away as fast as pssible and burns as much area as it can,” says Andrew Schwartz, lead scientist at UC Berkeley’s Central Sierra Snw Labratry.
Fr humans, less snwfall is “prblematic because snw supplies s much f ur water,” says Schwartz. Abut 1.9 billin peple rely n snwpacks and big mass f ice fr drinking water. Snw n the muntains acts like a natural lake used t stre water. As it slwly melts int streams, snw supplies water thrugh spring and summer, while rain flws immediately dwnstream and can be wasted. “It becmes mre difficult t manage ur water when we have these wild swings frm year t year,” says Schwartz.

All parents knw it’s difficult t get children t eat vegetables. Sme ffer rewards r treats fr children finishing their share. But researchers have discvered that yungsters wh are nt praised fr trying vegetables are mre likely t eat them eventually. The best way t get children t eat fd they hate is repeated expsure.
Psychlgists studied 98 children in Belgium. They gave them five kinds f vegetables t eat — mushrms, peas, eggplants, carrts and cabbages. The results revealed that carrts were the least-liked vegetable amng yungsters. The children were then given a bwl f biled carrts and tld t chse hw much t eat. After 8 minutes, they were asked t rate the dish as “delicius,” “just OK” r “awful.” The trial went n twice a week fr a mnth, with a fllw-up taste test 8 weeks after the trial. Children were split int three grups, with ne grup asked t try the bwl f carrts repeatedly with n further encuragement. The ther tw grups were given rewards f a ty r verbal praise.
After the trial, 81% f children wh simply tried the carrts cnsistently liked them. This is in cntrast t 68% fr the grup given a ty and 75% fr the grup given verbal praise.

Questins 14 thrugh 16 are based n the fllwing passage.
When facing a new situatin, sme peple tend t spend t much time expecting the wrst.
I remember talking with a yung lawyer befre her first trial. She was very nervus. I asked what impressin she wanted t make in frnt f the judge. She replied, “I dn’t want t lk s inexperienced that they suspect this is my first trial.” She had fallen victim t the “dn’ts” syndrme — a frm f negative gal setting. The “dn’ts” can be self-fulfilling because peple uncnsciusly fllw their predictins and finally cause them t happen.
Research shws a mental image fires the nerve system the same way as actually ding smething. That means when a glfer tells himself, “Dn’t hit the ball int the water.” His mind sees the image f the ball flying int the water. Therefre, befre ging int any stressful situatin, fcus nly n what yu want t happen.
I asked the lawyer again hw she wanted t appear at her first trial. This time she said: “I want t lk self-assured.” T her, a self-assured figure meant mving cnfidently arund the curt rm, using cnvincing bdy language and raising her vice. She als imagined a skillful clsing argument and a winning trial.
A few weeks after this psitive stress rehearsal, the yung lawyer did win.

Hw Lng Is a Secnd?
The length f a secnd depends n hw yu’re measuring it. There are 24 hurs in a day, 60 minutes in an hur, and 60 secnds in a minute — s surely a secnd is 1/86400, f a day, right? Well, it turns ut that __31__ time isn’t that simple.
“The secnd was __32__ based n the length f the day,” Peter Whibberley, a senir scientist at the Natinal Physical Labratry in the U.K., tld Live Science. “Peple bserved the sun passing verhead and started measuring its __33__ using sundials (日晷). Hwever, sundials have a few disadvantages. Aside frm the bvius prblem f nt being able t read a sundial when the sun isn’t visible, relying n Earth’s daily turning is surprisingly inaccurate. “The turning is nt precisely __34__,” Whibberley said. “The Earth speeds up and slws dwn ver time.” S hw can we precisely measure time if using the length f a day is s unreliable?
In the 16th century, peple turned t technlgical slutins t this prblem, and the first recgnizable mechanical clcks began t __35__. The earliest mechanical clcks, which were designed t click at a specific frequency, averaged ver the __36__ f a year.
By arund 1940, quartz crystal clcks (石英钟) had becme the new gld standard. Hwever, prblems arse, and this was where atmic clcks came in. “Atms exist nly in particular energy states and can nly change frm ne state t anther by __37__ r giving ut a fixed amunt f energy,” Whibberley explained. “That energy __38__ t a precise frequency, s yu can use that frequency as a reference fr time keeping.” The astrnmical secnd cntinued t vary. Every few years, scientists must add a secnd t allw Earth’s slwing turning t keep up with atmic time.
In fact, scientists are discussing whether it’s time t redefine the secnd again. But while several imprtant questins still need t be answered befre this __39__, it’s clear that the strictly crrect definitin f a secnd is __40__ t change.
III. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Althugh many ver-prcessed fds can satisfy the desire fr sweet, fatty, salty fds, research suggests these items are particularly bad fr the heart and brain, with md and cgnitin taking a hit.
The mst recent research lking at the __41__ f ver-prcessed fd fund the mst far-reaching results. Researchers __42__ direct links between higher cnsumptin f ver-prcessed fds and a greater risk f many health issues.
These results are __43__ earlier studies. Diets high in these fds were linked t greater risk f depressin and anxiety, accrding t an analysis published in the jurnal Nutrients. In ne f these studies, risk rse frm __44__ just 33 percent f calries frm ver-prcessed fd. A separate study fund that taking in just 20 percent f calries frm these fds was linked t a 28 percent faster rate f cgnitive __45__ cmpared with peple wh ate less prcessed fd.
Als __46__ is a study tracking abut half a millin peple living in England, Sctland, and Wales that fund the risk f dementia (痴呆) went up by 25 percent fr every 10 percent increase in ver-prcessed fd. While the exact cause-and-effect relatinship is still unknwn, the strngest evidence frm prspective studies __47__ the idea that eating high amunts f ver-prcessed fds increases the risk f depressin in the future.
It is cmmn knwledge that eating t much salt r sugar is linked t high bld pressure and Type 2 diabetes. What the public may nt appreciate, __48__, is that all these cnditins affect the brain by raising the risk fr dementia. __49__ such as certain artificial sweeteners may als disturb the prductin and release f brain chemicals, such as dpamine, which can negatively affect mental and emtinal __50__.
Anther prblem with ver-prcessed fds is that they might be addictive. Over-prcessed fds have mre in cmmn with a(n) __51__ than fds by Mther Nature. Humans have evlved t respnd t fds that are sweet, fatty, and high in calries. Fr mst f human existence this helped us __52__. But in nature, fds are __53__ mdestly high in sugar — like berries — r high in fat, like nuts. Yu dn’t find fds high in bth sugar and fat. That’s a distinctive __54__ f ver-prcessed fds. Add in salt, artificial flavrings and bright clrs, and ur brain simply __55__ these fds.

(A)
I was sitting in my high schl classrm, nervusly tapping my pencil against the desk as I awaited the start f the English exam.
As the clck struck, signaling the beginning f the exam, my heart began t race. I pened the exam bklet and scanned the questins, and I felt a wave f panic ver me. The questins seemed freign, and the tpics unfamiliar. In a state f panic, I hurriedly wrte dwn my answers, hping that smehw, by sme strke f luck, they wuld be crrect. But as the minutes went by, I realized I culdn’t seem t make sense f the questins befre me. As the final bell rang, I handed in my paper with a heavy heart.
In the days that fllwed, I culdn’t shake the feeling f failure that hung ver me like a dark clud. I replayed the exam ver and ver in my mind, analyzing every questin, every answer, searching fr clues as t where I had gne wrng.
But in the depressin, a realizatin began t dawn n me — I had failed, yes, but I had als learned valuable lessns alng the way. Armed with this newfund wisdm, I ensured that I wuld d better next time. I threw myself int my studies with renewed determinatin, devuring bks and practicing past exams with an eagerness I had never knwn befre.
When the time came t retake the exam, I was ready. I apprached each questin with cnfidence and clarity, drawing upn the lessns I had learned frm my previus missteps.
When the results were annunced, I held my breath as I scanned the list f names. And there it was — my name, shining brightly amng the list f successful candidates. At that mment, all the hard wrk, all the late nights and early mrnings, were wrth it.
And as I lk back n that sunny afternn in the high schl classrm, I am grateful fr the lessns it taught me, and the persn it helped me becme.

(C)
At first the questin was hw quickly peple wuld get back t the ffice. Then it was whether they wuld ever return. The last three years has intrduced in a majr change in white-cllar wrking patterns. The ffice is nt dead but many prfessinals have settled int a hybrid (混合的) arrangement f sme ffice days and sme remte days.
Hybrid wrking has much t recmmend: flexibility fr emplyees, perids f cncentratin at hme, bursts f cperatin in the ffice. A new paper frm Harvard Business Schl describes an experiment in which wrkers at BRAC, a nn-prfit rganisatin in Britain, were randmly assigned t three grups, each spending different amunts f time wrking frm hme. The intermediate (中等的) grup, wh spent between 23% and 40% f their time in the ffice, perfrmed best n varius perfrmance measures.
But a shift n this large scale is bund t raise tricky issues. In wrkplaces that have mved t hybrid wrk, there are still plenty f pen questins. One is hw t handle the impact f less time in the ffice fr new jiners and yunger wrkers. Research by Emma Harringtn f the University f Iwa shws that sftware engineers receive mre feedback n their cde when the team sits next t each ther in the ffice, especially new engineers. Accrding t Nichlas Blm f Stanfrd University, making new emplyees spend mre time in the ffice can be a gd way f integrating them int cmpany culture and imprving their cmpetence. And these yunger emplyees were mst likely t quit when everyne was frced t g remte.
A secnd questin cncerns hw strictly t enfrce attendance n days when teams are meant t be in the ffice.

Why Are Yu Still Cughing?
Have yu caught a cld recently — but can’t get rid f the cugh? Yu’re nt alne. The symptm can stick arund fr weeks after ur bdies have cleared a virus. Michael Shilh, a physician specializing in infectius disease research at UT Suthwestern Medical Center, says cughing patients ften reprt that they were sick as many as eight weeks prir t seeing him. He says, “____67____”
The United States saw a sharp rise in cases f influenza in late 2023 that’s dragged n int 2024. And thugh psitive tests fr the illness have leveled ff r decreased cuntrywide ver the past weeks, the number f peple seeking healthcare fr respiratry (呼吸的) diseases is still elevated acrss much f the U.S. ____68____ But research n hw infectins affect nerves in the airway is revealing new clues.
Cughing is an imprtant reactin that prtects the airway frm dangers like water r bits f mis-swallwed fd, says dctr and researcher Lrcan McGarvey f Queen’s University Belfast. ____69____ These nerves are decrated with receptr (受体) prteins that react t everything frm cld air t ht pepper. When a stimulus causes thse receptrs, nerves send signals t the brain that we experience as the urge t cugh.
While it may seem bvius that cughing is meant t clear ur thrats, it’s als pssible that viruses cause the reactin t help themselves spread. ____70____ And if we d ultimately cugh t clear ut ur airway during an infectin, that still wuldn’t explain what exactly ur nerves sense during an infectin that causes a cugh.
“We dn’t knw,” says electrphysilgist Thmas Taylr-Clark f the University f Suth Flrida. “But what we can say is that we d knw sme things, ne being that viruses cause infectin.”

Less Snwy Winters
Winter might mean snwball fights in many places. But this might nt be the case fr much lnger. While many peple arund the wrld are currently experiencing heavy snwfall, Earth is getting less snwy — a trend that isn’t temprary. That’s because the planet is heating up and winter is warming faster than any ther seasn in America. The water falling t earth in winter is mre cmmnly falling as raindrps than snw.
With water falling as rain instead f snw, and then freezing, sme animals may struggle t feed n grass n frzen grund. Species with white cats culd be at higher risk f being eaten as fd, while plar bears may have fewer ptins t build their snwy habitatins. Nt every species can adapt r mve t snwier climates, which may cause the extinctin f sme animals.
As air temperatures warm, trees release water int the atmsphere thrugh a prcess called evaptranspiratin, lss f water frm the sil. When there hasn’t been much snw, the sil can’t replace lst misture, and frests experience mre heat stress, making severe wildfires mre likely. “When a fire des spark, it runs away as fast as pssible and burns as much area as it can,” says Andrew Schwartz, lead scientist at UC Berkeley’s Central Sierra Snw Labratry.
Fr humans, less snwfall is “prblematic because snw supplies s much f ur water,” says Schwartz. Abut 1.9 billin peple rely n snwpacks and big mass f ice fr drinking water. Snw n the muntains acts like a natural lake used t stre water. As it slwly melts int streams, snw supplies water thrugh spring and summer, while rain flws immediately dwnstream and can be wasted. “It becmes mre difficult t manage ur water when we have these wild swings frm year t year,” says Schwartz.

All parents knw it’s difficult t get children t eat vegetables. Sme ffer rewards r treats fr children finishing their share. But researchers have discvered that yungsters wh are nt praised fr trying vegetables are mre likely t eat them eventually. The best way t get children t eat fd they hate is repeated expsure.
Psychlgists studied 98 children in Belgium. They gave them five kinds f vegetables t eat — mushrms, peas, eggplants, carrts and cabbages. The results revealed that carrts were the least-liked vegetable amng yungsters. The children were then given a bwl f biled carrts and tld t chse hw much t eat. After 8 minutes, they were asked t rate the dish as “delicius,” “just OK” r “awful.” The trial went n twice a week fr a mnth, with a fllw-up taste test 8 weeks after the trial. Children were split int three grups, with ne grup asked t try the bwl f carrts repeatedly with n further encuragement. The ther tw grups were given rewards f a ty r verbal praise.
After the trial, 81% f children wh simply tried the carrts cnsistently liked them. This is in cntrast t 68% fr the grup given a ty and 75% fr the grup given verbal praise.

Questins 14 thrugh 16 are based n the fllwing passage.
When facing a new situatin, sme peple tend t spend t much time expecting the wrst.
I remember talking with a yung lawyer befre her first trial. She was very nervus. I asked what impressin she wanted t make in frnt f the judge. She replied, “I dn’t want t lk s inexperienced that they suspect this is my first trial.” She had fallen victim t the “dn’ts” syndrme — a frm f negative gal setting. The “dn’ts” can be self-fulfilling because peple uncnsciusly fllw their predictins and finally cause them t happen.
Research shws a mental image fires the nerve system the same way as actually ding smething. That means when a glfer tells himself, “Dn’t hit the ball int the water.” His mind sees the image f the ball flying int the water. Therefre, befre ging int any stressful situatin, fcus nly n what yu want t happen.
I asked the lawyer again hw she wanted t appear at her first trial. This time she said: “I want t lk self-assured.” T her, a self-assured figure meant mving cnfidently arund the curt rm, using cnvincing bdy language and raising her vice. She als imagined a skillful clsing argument and a winning trial.
A few weeks after this psitive stress rehearsal, the yung lawyer did win.
Nw listen again, please.
