As a financial adviser, my clients come to me seeking help with growing their wealth. Perhaps the greatest lesson I share is that being rich isn't a dollar amount; it is a perception that includes happiness, peace of mind, comfort and security. There's a big difference between being wealthy and feeling wealthy.

Actually, one of the best ways I advise others in building their wealth is this: The secret to having more is giving more. Studies have shown that people who volunteer weekly exhibit an increase in happiness. Donating your time makes you grateful for all that you have, and you'll have the unmatched joy and excitement of knowing you made a huge impact for the good of others.

Volunteering enables you to increase your relationship skills and encourages you to have conversations with people from very different walks of life. You can even make new friends. It is also a wonderful activity that families can do together. This has the added benefit of serving as a good role model to your children. I am encouraging my kids to volunteer and experience the power of love for themselves.

Without fail, every time I volunteer ,I have conversations that change my life in some way. I was once volunteering at a local shelter and struck up a conversation with other volunteers. As we chatted, we all suddenly realized: The massive gratitude of those receiving help acted like a nuclear bomb going off in our hearts, and it also touched the other volunteers, making us all realize how truly blessed we are.

Giving our time, money and energy gives us a sense of achievement like nothing else. If "wealth" really is a perception of happiness, comfort and security, we must learn to get outside our own experience and understand what wealth means to other people.

24. What is the author's understanding of wealth?

A. It is more of a state of mind.

B. It gives one the duty to help others.

C. It has something to do with finance.

D. It lifts people's spirits like nothing else.

25.What makes a person appreciate what he has already owned?

A. Winning people's recognition.

B.Spending time helping others.

C.Making a deep impression on others.

D. Improving one's interpersonal skills.

26.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. Benefits of volunteering.

B.Parents' roles in a family.

C. Importance of social skills.

D. Ways of being a volunteer.

27.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.A Road to Real Wealth in Life

B.A Lesson in Wealth Management

C.A Different Way to Pursue Happiness

D.A Life-changing Volunteering Experience

Two of naturalist Charles Darwin's notebooks that were reported stolen from Cambridge

University's library have been returned, two decades after they disappeared.

The university said on Tuesday that the manuscripts were left in the library inside a pink gift bag, along with a note wishing the librarian a happy Easter.

The notebooks, which include the 19th-century scientist's famous 1837 “Tree of Life” sketch on evolution, went missing in 2001 after being removed for photographing, though at the time the staff believed they might have been misplaced. After the staff had searched the library's collection of 10 million books, maps and manuscripts, but failed to find then, they were reported to police in October 2020 as stolen.

Darwin filled the notebooks with ideas shortly after returning from his voyage around the world on the ship HMS Beagle, developing ideas that would bloom into his landmark work on evolution On the Origin of Species. The notebooks are estimated to be valued at millions of dollars.

On March 9,2022,the books reappeared, left in a public area of the library, outside the librarian's office, which is not covered by security cameras. The university's director of library services, Jessica Gardner, said her relief at the books' reappearance was “profound and almost impossible to properly express.”

“The notebooks can now retake their rightful place alongside the rest of the Darwin archives （档案）at Cambridge， at the heart of the nation’s cultural and scientific heritage，alongside the archives of Sir Isaac Newton and Professor Stephen Hawking," she said.

The notebooks are set to go on public display from July as part of a Darwin exhibition at the library. Cambridgeshire police said their investigation was continuing, “and we are following up some lines of inquiry. We also renew our appeal for anyone with information about the case to contact us,”  the force said.

28.What caused the notebooks to go missing?

A. Being left in a pink plastic bag.

B.Getting removed by two naturalists.

C.Getting mixed with other collections.

D.Being taken away for taking pictures.

29.Why weren't the notebooks reported to the police until 2020?

A.The staff had misplaced them.

B.The staff misjudged the situation.

C.The notebooks were guaranteed to be returned.

D.The notebooks were too worthless to be reported.

30.How did Jessica Gardner feel about the reappearance of the notebooks?

A.Anxious.

B.Disturbed.

C.Indifferent.

D.Overjoyed.

31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.The police were to drop the case.

B.New witnesses have come forward.

C.The stealer has yet to be determined.

D.The investigation came to a dead end.

When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing , listening and repeating. But Brian Mathias' research team found out that if you gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later.

As Mathias describes,they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words over four days.While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary,they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated,the subjects performed the gesture themselves. Five months later,they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German. Those who performed better on the task showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex - the part of the brain that is responsible for our body movements.The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. The effect did not occur when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures.

Another research group led by Leipzig had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days, paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods were still tied. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both.

But it is not only the motor component itself that promotes learning. The meaning conveyed by the gesture also figures in. “I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms," Goldin-Meadow says. “Good teachers and good listeners use it, but not always in a systematic way. Others don't necessarily bring it into the class-and it could be used more often and more effectively.”

32. What is the finding of Brian Mathias'  research?

A. Translation helps vocabulary building.

B.Motor cortex interprets body language.

C.Gestures facilitate vocabulary learning.

D.Memory improves with regular practice.

33. What does Leipzig's research tell us about language learning?

A.Adults and children are equally efficient learners.

B.Pictures have little influence on language learning.

C.Pictures are found more helpful than videos for children.

D.Benefits of gestures are more evident in adults in the long run.

34. What do the underlined words “figures in” in the last paragraph mean?

A.Makes a deal.

B.Plays a part.

C.Takes a chance.

D.Gives a warning.

35.What does the author suggest teachers do in the classroom?

A.Make better use of gestures.

B.Teach listening in a systematic way.

C.Abandon traditional teaching methods.

D.Do some academic researches on teaching.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Are you always upset about time management? You make to-do lists, try to work faster,  and prioritize.36              You might wonder: Is there anything wrong with me?

Before you beat yourself up, think about this: There is no such thing as time management.                             37                            Instead, you'1l need to learn how to manage your personal energy. Getting things done has more to do with how you feel. Are you energetic? Focused? Full of drive?

To review where you're losing energy,  you'll need to review your life and habits.  These questions can help:

How well do you sleep? It's tough to gather physical or mental energy if you're tired. However,  there is a quick fix to it. 38              To ensure you get quality sleep,  you can also create a sleep-friendly environment, and practice good daytime habits.

·How organized are your possessions? If you're someone with a lot of possessions, or with things spread out over a lot of space, you'll find it much easier to focus when your space is clean and clear. For example, when you want to write a novel, it helps to create a clean environment.

39   .

Are you bored with life? Boredom springs from doing the same things over and over. Doing something new, such as getting a new puppy or joining an online group to discuss travel destinations, adds color to your life.

   40 Motivation enhances emotional energy. For example, have you noticed how much easier you can clean house, if you're planning a party?

A. Do you have exciting goals?

B. A messy desk can destroy your focus.

C. Do you continue to save your energy?

D. But still, you're always running out of steam.

E. You can't make more time, save it up or control it.

F. Something as simple as buying a new pillow can help.

G. Your habits will make noticeable differences in how you perform.

Like a good cheese, wine, or pair of well-worn   blue  jeans, some things get better with time. For me, Anne Lamott's book named Shitty First Drafts can also be grouped into this41    .

I can still hear the laughter when our high school English teacher42 it over two decades ago. At first, her nod to this classic essay was              43              in favor of the fact that the elegant, not-quite elderly44                of our learning had just              45              a bad word into her classroom lecture like it was no big deal. As she went on to explain,I46 her point about the writing process, but the sticking point for me was the catch-phrase she'd borrowed and used to              47 our attention.

Years later, a college professor advised me to give Lamott's Bird by Bird a  48 .I came across that famous first-draft phrase again. This time around,  I encountered a how-to on writing that left behind only insightful,49              and humorous bits of wisdom.  How              50               it is to finally hear from a professional writer that like others, she also experiences the same sorts of51 as a college student working at an essay assignment!

As a full-time writer, now I rely on 52 to pay bills and put food on the table.  When those words come less53              and I struggle to find my daily rhythm, I make a point of reminding myself where all54              writing begins. The ones who make it look easy are often those who've              55              some interest, ability or natural talent with a lot of56,efforts, and struggles.  And              57              drafts. If the best of the best need to write several versions of any given piece to shape              58              material into a product worth a look,  then the rest of us need to               59              the writing process to work for us, too.

Begin with the “uncooked" material, and I remind myself again.  Shape it, mold it, put in the work.  Believe in the process              60 you will get there.
