Her career was put n hld as the cuple mved arund fr her husband’s jb, spending time living in different places.
Many years later, Betty returned t cmmunity cllege t becme a registered nurse. She wrked as a nurse fr mre than 30 years befre retiring in 2013.
But in 2018, she still felt regretful ver her unfinished degree. Encuraged by her friends, Betty decided t return t university t cmplete her bachelr’s degree. She chse t live in the drmitry and gt n well with her rmmates. She enrlled in classes and started wrking n thse last 25 credits. Hwever, she was discuraged by the new technlgy used when taking nline curses during the crnavirus pandemic. Even s, Betty persevered.
At age 84, Betty gt her bachelr’s degree in Multidisciplinary Studies frm the Cllege f Cntinuing and Prfessinal Studies. She described the accmplishment as “pure jy, pure satisfactin”.

Walk thrugh the Amazn rainfrest tday and yu will find it is steamy, warm, damp and thick. But if yu had been arund 15,000 years ag, during the last ice age, wuld it have been the same? Fr mre than 30 years, scientists have been arguing abut hw rainfrests like the Amazn might have reacted t the cld, dry climates f the ice ages, but until nw, n ne has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainfrests like the Amazn are imprtant fr mpping up CO2 frm the atmsphere and helping t slw glbal warming. Currently the trees in the Amazn take in arund 500 millin tnnes f CO2 each year; equal t the ttal amunt f CO2 given ff in the UK each year. But hw will the Amazn react t future climate change? If it gets drier, will it still survive and cntinue t draw dwn CO2? Scientists hpe that they will be able t learn in advance hw the rainfrest will manage in the future by understanding hw rainfrests reacted t climate change in the past.
Unfrtunately, getting int the Amazn rainfrest and cllecting infrmatin are very difficult. T study past climate, scientists need t lk at fssilized pllen (花粉), kept in lake muds. Ging back t the last ice age means drilling deep dwn int lake sediments (沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few rads and paths, r places t land helicpters and aerplanes. Rivers tend t be the easiest way t enter the frest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers cmpletely unsampled (未取样). S far, nly a handful f cres have been drilled that g back t the last ice age and nne f them prvide enugh infrmatin t prve hw the Amazn rainfrest reacts t climate change.
28. The underlined phrase "mpping up" in the secnd paragraph means _____.
A. cleaning up B. taking in C. wiping ut D. giving ut
29. Hw will the Amazn rainfrest react t future climate change?
A. It'll get drier and cntinue t remve CO2.
B. It'll remain steamy, warm, damp and thick.
C. It'll get warmer and then clder and drier.
D. There is n exact answer up t present.
30. What's the main idea f the last paragraph?
A. It's imprtant t cllect infrmatin frm lake sediments.
B. It requires specialized equipment t study the past climate.
C. It prves challenging t study the past climate in the Amazn rainfrest.
D. It's impssible t prve hw climate changes in the Amazn rainfrest.
31. The best title fr this passage may prbably be _____.
A. Studies f the Amazn
B. Climates f the Amazn
C. Secrets f the Rainfrests
D. Changes f the Rainfrests

Press yur fingers int the back f yur head, just abve yur neck. If yu feel a small bny bump (突起), yu will find evidence f human evlutin: it culd be yur bdy respnding t cmmn smartphne use in the 21st century.
Accrding t a recent study, published in Scientific Reprts, yung peple increasingly have bny bumps at the base f their skulls (颅骨) right abve the neck. Medical prfessinals call them enlarged external ccipital prtuberances (EEOPs, 枕外隆突).
Australian health scientist David Shahar, authr f the study tld the BBC that ver the past 10 years, he’s seen mre and mre patients with EEOPs. Tgether with ther researchers frm the University f the Sunshine Cast, Australia, they examined 1200 skulls x-rays frm peple aged 18 t 30. They als measured the bumps and nted each persn’s psture (坐姿).They fund that ne in fur peple have develped these grwths. This led t their thery that smartphnes are the cause.
Accrding t their research, lking dwn at their phnes adds the stress nt the tp f ur spines (脊柱). T prevent damage t ur spines, Shahar believes ur bdies add fresh bny bumps t help reduce the extra stress.
Mst f the EEOPs measure just a few millimeters. Hwever, several subjects were fund with EEOPs as large as 30 mm.
In his reprt, Shahar said the results “highlighted the need” fr preventin. In ther wrds, we need t change ur psture while using ur phnes.
Many peple assume ur bnes are slid and are unmving nce we reach adulthd. In reality, they are alive and cvered with bld vessels (血管), which allws them t develp in unique ways fr each persn.
Aside frm EEOPs, ther nticeable recent changes in human bdies include smaller jaws, elbws and skeletns (骨骼). The human bdy is changing with mdern life. S wh knws what peple in the future might lk like?
What did the recent study find abut EEOPs?
A. They grw n ne’s neck.
B. They culd lead t many mental prblems.
C. They increasingly ccur amng yung peple.
D. They may stp grwing when they reach 30.
33. What is the main cause f EEOPs accrding t the researchers?
A. Gene prblems. B. Smartphne use.
C. Aging bnes. D. Extra stress.
34. Which f the fllwing wuld Shahar prbably agree with?
A.EEOPs increase the stress n ur spines.
B. Yung peple’s bnes develp in similar ways.
C. EEOPs are actually beneficial t ur spines.
D. Yung peple shuld exercise t imprve their psture.
35. What’s the writing purpse f the text?
A. T prve that human bdies can develp EEOPs.
B. T recmmend sme healthy habits f using phnes.
C. T shw sme recent changes in human bdies.
D. T raise readers’ awareness f prtecting their spines.
