When I was in my early 20s, I first discvered the pem Desiderata. It was a grey rainy weekend in a shp in Australia. On the wall was a pster (海报) with a text, and the first tw wrds were "G placidly (平静地)".
Curius, I stepped up t the pster. My eyes were drawn t the pem: G placidly amid the nise and haste (匆忙), and remember what peace there may be in silence…Speak yur truth quietly and clearly, and listen t thers.
Desiderata is a 1920s pem by the almst-frgtten American pet Max Ehrmann. It's basically an instructin n hw t live a happy life. It first caught public attentin 20 years after Ehrmann's death in the 1960s, when peace and lve suddenly seemed quite attractive. By the 1970s cpies f the text hung in classrms and living rms all ver America. Hwever, mst peple tday dn't knw the pem anymre.
I have several pems memrized and they have been a great help in their wn different ways. But Desiderata still seems the mst helpful ne. G placidly thrugh life. Nt gently r quietly, but with calm and cnfidence, even when in the middle f "nise and haste". And I dn't knw if yu've lked ut the windw recently, but there's an awful lt f nise and haste ging arund.
It has been mre than 10 years since I first read Desiderata. I'm a little lder, nne the wiser. I nw have a tw-year-ld kid, which means ur huse is usually like a space in a war. But amng the tears and the painful jy f parenthd, I think f thse wrds-g placidly-and I can almst feel my bld pressure drpping. It's like a cl light wind n a ht day, and tells me that the slutin t chas isn't necessarily rder-its attitude (态度).
24. What d we knw abut the pem Desiderata?
A. It was written fr students.
B. Its message has changed ver time.
C. Its aim was t cheer up peple in the 1960s.
D. There has been a rise and a drp in its ppularity.

Nearly 1 in 10 adlescent girls have used nn-prescriptin (非处方类的) pills t lse weight, accrding t new research. The research nted that teenage girls are the mst likely grup t have used these s-called weight lss aids, and pinted ut that these trends-and the mindset driving them-raise the risks fr eating disrders and verall harm t physical and mental health.
Nichle Kelly, a scientist wh specializes in eating behavirs and bdy image beliefs, said that adlescence is a particularly vulnerable time fr yung peple seeking ut weight lss measures. Girls are ging thrugh adlescence (青春期), which means increases in fat mass in girls' bdies. This age is als marked by an increase in the imprtance f the pinin f peers, which are ften really cruel twards bigger bdies. Weight and appearance are the tp reasns kids are bullied (霸凌) at schl. S it's nt surprising that there are high levels f weight lss supplement (补充剂) use in adlescents and in girls in particular.
The rle f scial media is especially crucial in understanding hw yung peple are understanding their bdies. "If yu pen up any scial media platfrm and d any srt f quick search fr cntent related t weight lss r related t health and wellness, yu'll very quickly cme acrss advertisements fr weight lss supplements," Kelly said. "I think that the weight lss supplement industry has really taken advantage f the way that scial media allw cntent and psts t be spread s quickly."
"Mst peple assume that these prducts are natural, safe, and effective when the research evidence shws that nne f thse things are true," Kelly said. She stressed that these prducts can actively cause harm. The lack f regulatin (监管) f the weight lss supplement industry means that sme prducts have dangerus chemical substances.
28. Wh are mst likely t take weight lss pills accrding t new research?
A. Teenage girls.B. Teenage bys.C. Adult females.D. Adult males.
29. What des the authr think f the girls wanting t lse weight?
A. They have pr self-respect.B. They are hard t understand.
C. They suffer frm peer pressure.D. They are influenced by families.
30. What is the main idea f paragraph 3?
A. Scial media spread cntent quickly.
B. Scial media help imprve ne's bdy image.
C. Scial media are full f weight lss supplement ads.
D. Scial media ppularize weight lss supplements.
31. What can we learn abut weight lss supplements frm paragraph 4?
A. They are well-regulated.
B. They are free frm harmful chemicals.
C. They wrk as well as prescriptin drugs.
D. They may be harmful despite being marketed as safe.

Sustainable travel is an idea that many experts within the travel industry agree n. T cntinue enjying this extrardinary wrld, bth travelers and the travel industry must adapt t be mre sustainable in actins. A reprt reads: "At this imprtant mment in climate histry, if there is a lack f actins, by 2040 many f the wrld's favrite destinatins will be frced t g virtual."
What is sustainable travel? It is abut traveling in a way that reduces negative impact n the climate and envirnment, as well as the cmmunities and peple we visit. Fr many years, the attentin arund sustainable travel was based n reducing envirnmental pllutin. While it is still imprtant, there is nw an even mre pressing issue. With the grwth f a privatized (私有化的) market that means lcal cmmunities aren't benefiting much frm turism as they shuld, change is needed mre than ever.
T deal with the prblem, we need t rethink hw we see travel. Instead f just fcusing n ur wn experiences, we shuld cnsider the needs f ur hsts alngside ur hpes fr a fun-filled hliday. All it takes is a little thughtful planning.
One f the mst effective ways yu can make a difference when traveling is t reduce yur carbn ftprint (碳足迹). Wherever yu chse t g, yur transprt will likely accunt fr the majrity f yur CO2 emissins. By simple math, that means traveling shrter distances and in a way that uses less fuel (燃料) will make a big difference. And by ding s, yu can visit mre places and benefit mre cmmunities and peple.
And traveling ut f peak seasn can be a mre enriching experience. Yu'll avid the crwds at ppular sights and find lwer prices fr htels, restaurants and activities. Fr lcal peple wh wrk in turism and are seasnal wrkers, the mney they make utside f busy perids is much valued and needed.
Anther impactful way t be mre sustainable is t stay in cmmunity-wned accmmdatin rather than chain htels. It means the mney yu spend ges directly t lcal peple wh are serving yu and need it mst.
32. Why des the authr mentin the reprt in paragraph 1?
A. T try t describe sustainable travel.B. T pint ut the main idea f the text.
C. T shw the urgency f sustainable travel.D. T present climate change's effect n travel.
33. What des "an even mre pressing issue" in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Climate change.B. Envirnmental pllutin.
C. Fast grwth f turism.D. Little attentin n lcals.
34. What des the authr suggest a sustainable traveler d?
A. Travel less.B. Chse lng trips.C. Make a package tur.D. Try ff-seasn travel.
35. Why are cmmunity-wned htels recmmended?
A. They prvide better service fr guests.B. They are friendlier t the envirnment.
C. They help lcal peple earn mre mney.D. They are the backbne f the lcal ecnmy.
