The sun is abut t set when we reach ur destinatin, the hme f a nmadic (游牧的) herder (牧民) family. My hst, Batbayer, has a cheerful face, with deep wrinkles and a clr frm lng hurs wrking utdrs, giving him the lk f a sailr frm an Ernest Hemingway nvel. We have pre-arranged ur visit but travellers in Mnglia can drive up t pretty much any ger and feel welcmed t stay. Yu dn’t knck n the dr: when yu apprach a nmadic family, a custmary greeting is t say a kindly “Hld yur dg,” even if yu dn’t see a dg.
We feast at the family hme n ne f the cuntry’s mst distinct and tasty dishes: khrkhg, r muttn cked using ht rcks. This cmes served with nins, a variety f berries, and milk—besides mre plates f meat, all frm the family’s wn livestck (家畜).
Mnglia is hme t ne f the wrld’s few remaining truly nmadic cultures. Abut a fifth f the ppulatin are herders, and nmadism is cmplicatedly wven int the cuntry’s spirit. But mdern life is catching up with the peple n the grassland at rapid speed. This is in large part what my bk is abut: an utsider’s explratin f a sciety underging mdernisatin while trying t hld fast t its deeply rted traditinal values.
Many f the livestck here, especially the mre valuable breeds such as hrses, camels and cattle, are implanted with micrchips that can be mnitred via satellite-based services. “I wuld like t use the internet mre because it’s fun and useful; but the animals like it here. This is a gd place fr them,” Batbayer says when I ask if better internet cnnectivity might influence where t mve his livestck next. “I wuld never chse Facebk ver the wellbeing f the animals.”
28. Which aspect f the herders des the authr fcus n in paragraph 1?
A. Living cnditins.B. Pet preference.C. Reading habits.D. Friendliness.
29. What d we knw abut nmadic culture?
A. Herders’ life is being mdernized.
B. It is the wrld’s dminant culture.
C. The majrity f Mnglians are herders.
D. Herders have n access t fruits and vegetables
30. What can we infer frm Batbayer’s wrds in the last paragraph?
A. He refuses t use scial media.B. He will n lnger emply micrchips.
C. He will intrduce mre valuable breeds.D. He priritizes the welfare f livestck.
31. What is the text?
A. A travel jurnal.B. A flk tale.C. A bk review.D. A field reprt.

Silent reading is far frm silent in yur brain. Deep within yur head there is a vice reading alud each wrd as yur eyes pass ver it.
Let’s d a seemingly unrelated experiment first. Turn n yur televisin and radi. Try t understand bth the wrds frm the televisin and the radi simultaneusly. Yu might have nticed understanding ne surce required ignring the ther, and yu culd feel yur attentin shifting between the tw vices. Althugh we can listen t multiple peple speaking at the same time, we can nly truly understand ne persn speaking at a time.
There are three majr areas that allw yu t understand spken wrd. The first is the Auditry Crtex (听觉皮层), which prcesses the pure characteristics f incming sunds. Bth sides f yur brain cntain this regin. The next area is the Brca/ Wernicke (B/W) netwrk, which makes sense f the spken wrd. This netwrk exists in nly ne side f yur brain. This means that, althugh the sunds f language are initially prcessed in bth sides f the brain, spken wrd must eventually be funneled (流经漏斗) int this single netwrk. This quickly leads t a bttleneck, which is cntrlled by the third area: the left Inferir Frntal Gyrus (IFG, 额下回). When yu try t understand tw peple speaking at the same time, this regin effectively blcks ne vice while it allws the ther t pass thrugh the B/W bttleneck. Any infrmatin that des nt immediately make it thrugh the B/W netwrk disappears cmpletely—there is n waitlist.
Nw, let’s bring all the pieces tgether t see why it’s related t yur silent reading. When yu read, the first regin t demnstrate activatin is the Visual Crtex, which prcesses the pure visual characteristics f incming sights. Immediately after the visual crtex activates, the speech areas f the brain fire up because yur brain prcesses yur silent reading in a manner almst identical t the way in which it prcesses an actual, ut-lud speaking vice. Fr this reasn, attempting t read while listening t smene speak is the same as trying t understand tw peple speaking at the same time—it can’t be dne!
32. What des the underlined wrd “simultaneusly” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. At the same time.B. One at a time.
C. On the whle.D. Thrugh cmparisn.
33. Which f the fllwing best illustrates paragraph 3?
A. B.
C. D.
Nte: disappear; wait
34. What may the authr agree with?
A. Prfessrs give a speech with a text-heavy PwerPint slide.
B. Teachers keep silent when students are reading attentively.
C. Students slve math prblem when fllwing a lecture.
D. Students practice listening skills while reading nvels.
35. Which f the fllwing sentences can best se rve as an intrductin t the text?
A. The art f cnversatin lies in listening.
B. What is reading, but a silent cnversatin.
C. We hear and understand nly what we already knw half.
D. Once an idea gets int yur head, it’s prbably ging t stay there.

Why is a cmpliment (赞美) s impactful? One f the mst imprtant things t humans is t feel valued and respected by thers, says Vanessa Bhns, a scial psychlgist, wh has researched cmpliments. Accrding t her research, peple feel “significantly better” after bth giving and receiving a cmpliment. 36
“Yu handled that situatin s well.”
Bhns recently used her favrite cmpliment when she saw a server address a difficult situatin with a custmer at the bar. “I like it s much because yu use it in anxius mments where the ther persn is ften unsure f whether they handled a situatin OK,” she says. In situatins that call fr a cmpliment, dn’t secnd-guess yurself. Give yur cmpliments generusly. 37 That cncern is unfunded.
“ 38 ”
This cmpliment—ne f Bhns’ favrites—wrks well amng rmantic partners and clse family members. “It’s a beautiful way t highlight hw their presence turns life int smething meaningful, despite bring rutines f ur everyday lives,” she says. If yu’re afraid that giving a cmpliment like this will feel strange, yu’re nt alne. 39 If it makes yu persnally feel like the bar is lwered fr yu t give a cmpliment if yu write it dwn, r if yu practice saying it ut lud r giving yur pet cat the cmpliment first, d that.
“Hey, great dress!”
Feel free t cmpliment strangers. In Bhns’ research, students n a cllege campus were tld t apprach a stranger f the same gender and cmpliment them-abut, fr example, their nice shirt. Befre heading ut, the study participants tended t underestimate their psitive effect while verestimating hw annying it wuld be. Acrss all cntexts, strangers are mre likely t be pleased than cnfused. Plus, wh knws? 40
A. I lve the way yu bring ut the best in peple.
B. Respect is essential when yu deliver cmpliments.
C. Yu make even rdinary mments feel extrardinary.
D. One way t vercme this fear is t d a practice run.
E. Yu might make a new friend in additin t making smene’s day.
F. With that in mind, we asked her t share sme f her favrite cmpliments.
G. Peple smetimes wrry that they’re ging ver and will start t sund insincere.
