Kyle Cassidy and three ther members f the Annenberg Running Grup were stretching n the grunds f the University f Pennsylvania, waiting fr a few latecmers. The Penn clleagues and ther cmmunity members meet three days a week fr a rughly 30-minute jg and an ccasinal lecture. That's right― during sme runs, ne f them delivers a talk. Tpics range frm the brain t Bitcin.
But n this day last January, it wuld nt be their nrmal run. The first clue that smething was ff was the man wh sprinted past them.“Running at an amazing pace," Cassidy tld Runner's Wrld admiringly. Cassidy discvered why the sprinter was s fleet f ft when anther man ran by, yelling, “Help! He tk my phne and laptp!”
At that, the grup did what running clubs d: They ran, trailing the suspect dwn the streets f Philadelphia until he ducked int a cnstructin site. The runners split up. Cassidy ran arund t the far side f the site t cut the thief ff while the thers wandered the neighbrhd hping he had dumped the lt（赃物）in a backyard.
N luck. S they decided t ask residents whether they’d seen the guy. When they kncked n the dr f ne rw huse, they were in fr a surprise. Unknwn t them, he had already emerged frm the cnstructin site—and was hiding behind a bush by that very huse. As the wner pened the dr, the suspect darted ut frm behind the bush ... and right int the arms f campus plice, wh'd jined the chase shrtly behind the runners.
The members f this running grup are nt hard-cre athletes. But they d understand the benefit f a little exercise.“Running is typically a useless sprt where yu turn fat cells int heat,”Cassidy tld The Philadelphia Inquirer.“But ccasinally it can be useful, and here was ne f thse pprtunities.”
24. Why d the grup members gather tgether?
A. T d sme stretching. B. T have a regular run.
C. T deliver a lecture. D. T cver sme tpics.
25. What des the underlined wrd“sprinted”in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Dashed. B. Pushed. C. Jumped. D. Escaped.
26. We can infer that the success f the chase is mainly due t____ .
A. the assistance f the runners B. the wner f the rw huse
C. the campus plice n patrl D. the jint effrts f the peple
27. Which f the fllwing best describes Cassidy?
A. Athletic and generus. B. Curageus and ambitius.

A lt f media attentin has fcused n the harmful effects f wrking lng hurs. Lgging excessive hurs at wrk is rted in the wrk culture f the West. Frm Bay Area startups t varius multinatinals, their idea is centered arund hw many hurs yu can clck at wrk. It is assumed that the mre hurs yu put int yur jb, the mre career prspects yu’ll get ut f it.
A new study in Eurpe challenged this assumptin, hwever. Frm their analysis f nearly 52, 000 peple frm 36 Eurpean cuntries, they cncluded that it’s nt the number f hurs yu clck at the ffice, but hw intensely yu wrk during thse hurs, that affects career-related utcmes. Researchers fund peple, with similar jbs and educatin levels, were mre likely t suffer prer well-being and inferir career prspects, including satisfactin, security and prmtin, when they wrked at an intense level fr lng perids. Accrding t Hans Frankrt, a senir lecturer in strategy at Cass Business Schl, the research suggests career benefits f excessive wrk effrt-lnger hurs r harder wrk-may never materialize.
Emplyers shuld reduce wrk intensity rather than try t cntrl excessive hurs, the authrs cncluded. “Cmpared with vertime, wrk intensity predicts much greater reductins in well-being and career benefits,” Hans Frankrt said.
There is als a range f things fr emplyees t d t ensure they’re wrking smarter, and nt just harder. Beth Belle Cper, a frmer cntent creatr at Buffer, the scial media scheduling app, suggests taking mre breaks t refresh yur mind and reset yur attentin span. She als recmmends taking naps t cnslidate new infrmatin in the brain and help yu avid burnut. Yu might als cnsider cmpletely unplugging frm wrk mre cnsistently, and fr lnger perids f time. This is what Sean McCabe and his small team des when they take a week-lng vacatin every seventh week.
28. What is cmmn in the wrk culture f western cuntries?
A. Having bright career prspects. B. Spending lng hurs at wrk.
C. Starting up ne’s wn business. D. Earning lng paid days ff wrk.
29. What can be the effect f wrking intensely accrding t the text?
A. It leads t mre career challenges.
B. It brings ut greater prmtin pprtunity.
C. It reduces ne’s wrk passin and efficiency.
D. It wrsens ne’s health cnditins and jb utlk.
30. What is advisable t wrk smarter accrding t Sean Mccabe?
A. Requiring breaks ccasinally. B. Taking days ff wrk regularly.
C. Catching up n sleep prperly. D. Refreshing ne’s brain cnstantly.
31. What des the text mainly intend t tell us?
A. Wrking intensively is necessary. B. Wrking whle-heartedly is useless.
C. Wrking mre diligently des mre harm. D. Wrking mre wisely brings mre benefits.

Can peple wh understand the emtins f thers better interpret emtins cnveyed thrugh music? A new study by an internatinal team f researchers suggests the abilities are linked.
The study’s results prvide a fundatin fr future research that culd test the impact f scially engaged music listening n scial cgnitive ability, and whether listening t music can be added t therapeutic (治疗的) techniques used in scial skills training fr individuals with autism spectrum disrder (孤独症谱系障碍).
The findings were published recently in a scientific jurnal f the American Psychlgical Assciatin. The study was led by Benjamin A.Tabak, assistant prfessr f psychlgy. “Empathy (共情) is mst ften thught f in the cntext f scial interactins, but there are many ther frms f scial cmmunicatin, including music,” Tabak said. “Music can cnvey meaning and emtin and als bring emtinal respnses, but what is respnsible fr its emtinal pwer is prly understd.”
Tabak and his clleagues wanted t test their thery abut empathy and music. Fr the purpses f this study, they measured the ability t crrectly understand thers’ thughts and feelings — empathic accuracy — and the extent t which ne feels the emtins that anther feels.
“We thught it wuld be interesting t study whether peple wh mre accurately under-stand thers’ thughts and feelings might als be mre accurate in understanding what musicians are intending t cnvey thrugh music,” Tabak said. “Similarly, we wanted t knw whether peple wh tend t feel the emtins that thers are experiencing als tend t feel the emtins cnveyed thrugh music.”
The initial set f findings fund supprt fr bth hyptheses. In particular, the results suggest that empathic accuracy as a skill extends beynd interpersnal interactins int music. Tabak believes that the study prvides tentative supprt fr the thery that music is first and fremst a scial behavir that gradually develps t help individuals cnnect with thers and better understand and manage their scial envirnment.
32. What can the study result be used t d?
A. Be the basis fr the next study. B. Apply music t scial skills training.
C. Decide the music suitable fr autism. D. Test the impact f music n emtins.
33. Abut the link between music and emtins, what needs further understanding?
A. The effect f music. B. The academic supprt.
C. The functin f music. D. The emtins music expresses.
34. What is Tabak’s attitude twards the study?
A. Ignrant. B. Dubtful. C. Cnfident. D. Pessimistic.
35. Which can be the best title fr the text?
A. The Scial Behavir Music Reflects
B. The Ability T Accurately Understand Empathy
C. Research Will Set Fundatin Fr Further Research
D. Research Shws The Rle Empathy May Play In Music

Many f ur beliefs abut the universe are based n inductive reasning, als knwn as the 56 (science) mdel.

My great-grandmther Eileen is fierce, lyal and strng and a bit f a legend in her wn lifetime, which nw stretches t 92 years. I shuld add that we’re nt allwed t call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel ld.
That summer, I lst my jb and felt hpeless. One day, I paid a visit t her. She picked up a bx which she placed n the cffee table. “There yu g,” she said. “Yu d knw what yu’re ding with these things, dn’t yu?”
It was a new phne. Her current mbile was pretty ancient. I was amazed it was still ging.
“Yes,” I said.
“Gd. That’s why I ask yu. Yu yung peple knw mre abut such things than us ldies. Yu can take it hme with yu and get it all set up,” she went n. “Then, when yu bring it back, yu can shw me hw t use my new phne, such as getting n the internet, sending e-mails and s n.” She smiled s sweetly that I felt a surge f lve fr her.
I grabbed the bx and std up. Setting up the phne wuld be easy. It was teaching her hw t use it that may prve challenging.
The fllwing day I headed back t my great-grandmther’s with the phne. “Here’s yur phne. It’s all ready t use.”
Fr the next hur, I was busy setting up her passcde and fingerprint recgnitin, which she said was like smething ut f James Bnd.
She chse a picture fr her screen and it was all ging s well until I tried t shw her hw t swipe (滑动屏幕). “What d yu mean swipe?” she asked. She was 92, I reminded myself. This had been tiring fr her.
She pressed at the up arrw and gt angry when nthing happened. When I finally gt her t swipe, she didn’t put the right amunt f pressure n and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hurs, she threw the phne acrss the rm and it landed n the sfa. “Take it away!” she hwled. “I want my ld phne back!”
I picked up the phne and was abut t leave t give her time t cl dwn when I realized I didn’t want t g hme when she was angry and upset.

I wuld like t give yu mre infrmatin abut this painting. It's called Impressin, Sunrise. And it was drawn in 1872 by the famus French painter Claude Mnet. The artist was inspired by a very nice fggy, early mrning in a prt twn in the suth f France. He spent five mnths finishing the picture. As yu can see, it's quite big, but desn't have t many things n it. In the central part f it are tw bats painted in black.There are sme peple in the bats, but we can't tell fr certain if they're men r wmen, r children. Mnet used sme bright clrs in the painting as well because he als wanted t shw the jy frm the rising sun. In the distance, we can see utlines f ships, and als their blue shadws in the water. The ships can't be seen very clearly because the fg cvers them, creating a sense f mystery arund the whle scenery. This is a smart decisin by Mnet t display a mment f secrecy in the middle f a cheerful early mrning envirnment. It makes the viewers curius abut the painting s that they wuld spend mre time with it.
