Fatigue can actually be considered a kind of poisoning. When a muscle in our body works, it produces lactic acid. If we remove the lactic acid from a tired muscle, it is able to start working again at once!

There are other substances the body produces in the course of muscular activity. These are known as “fatigue toxins.”The blood carries these through the body, so that the muscle itself, and especially the brain feels tired.

Scientists have conducted interesting experiments on fatigue. If a dog is made to work until it is exhausted and falls asleep, and its blood is then transfused into another dog, the second dog will instantly become “tired” and fall asleep! If the blood of a wide awake dog is transfused into a tired sleeping dog, the latter will wake up at once, no longer tired!

But fatigue is not just a chemical process, it is also a biological process. We cannot just “remove"" fatigue; we must allow the cells of the body to rest. Damages must be repaired, nerve cells of the brain must be “recharged," and the joints of the body must replace used up lubricants. Sleep will always be necessary as a way of restoring our body's energy after fatigue.

Very often, the best way to make a tired body part feel fresh again is to make other parts of the body active! We can actually rest by means of activity. Activity increases the respiration(呼吸). The blood circulates faster, the glands are more active, and the waste products are eliminated from the tired part of the body. But, if you are totally exhausted, the best thing to do is sleep!

28. What does the underlined word “it" refer to in the first paragraph?

A. Fatigue.  B. Lactic acid  C. The body.  D. The tired muscle.

29. What does the author want to show by telling the experiments?

A. Fatigue is a chemical process.  B. Fatigue makes a dog sleepy.

C. Sleep can reduce fatigue.   D. We cannot remove fatigue.

30. What might refresh yourself after a tiring walk?

A. Having a blood transfusion.  B. Doing upper limb movements.

C. Drinking plenty of water.   D. Playing a football game.

31. In which part of a newspaper might you find this text?

A. Entertainment.   B. Health.  C. Fashion.  D. Sports.

D

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people in lockdown felt lonely and bored. “There is a loneliness epidemic," said John Dattilo, a professor at Pennsylvania State University.

Together with an international team of researchers, Dattilo studied how to reduce loneliness and increase positive feelings during the pandemic. According to their new study, reducing loneliness has something to do with doing enjoyable activities that require both concentration and skill. “When people are absorbed in what they are doing, they enter a state called FLOW,” Dattilo explained."Flow can be achieved by doing activities that we value and that require us to concentrate fully to use our skills. ”

To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance between the challenge of the task and your skill level. For example, if you're trying to create a complex computer program but your skill level is low, then you're likely to feel stressed instead of achieving flow. On the contrary, if the task is too easy, then boredom will set in and flow will not appear, either. If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting can lead to flow. So can things like sking, writing and storytelling, depending on who you are.

“When we enter a state of flow, we become absorbed and focused, and we experience momentary enjoyment,” Dattilo said. “ When we leave a state of flow，we are often surprised by how much time has passed.”However, watching television usually doesn't help people enter flow, according to Dattilo, because there aren't any challenges.

“Loneliness is very connected to our health," Dattilo explained. “Psychological, emotional, and cognitive health are all challenged when people are lonely. Loneliness is associated with depression and other mental health challenges. People tend to thrive on healthy activities and challenge," said Dattilo.“We hope this research will help people live fuller, happier, healthier lives. ”

32. What is the purpose of the research?

A. To study how to reduce loneliness.  B. To fight the COVID 19 pandemic.

C. To treat some mental illnesses.   D. To help people live a normal life.

33. What is a key point of the state of flow?

A. Enjoyment.   B. Relaxation.   C. Concentration.  D. Loneliness.

34. Which of the following can help a student get into a state of flow ?

A. Doing housework.     B. Chatting online.

C. Watching television.     D. Composing a story.

35. What do the underlined words “thrive on” mean in the last paragraph?

A. Enjoy.    B. Grow.   C. Avoid.   D. Balance.

My six year old boy Jonathan broke a limb of my azalea( 杜鹃花) bush and asked me, “Can I take this to school today, mom”? With a wave of my hand, I sent him off. And then I turned my back so he couldn't see the tears in my eyes.

I was in low spirits all day, washing and drying clothes, and thinking how love had disappeared from my life. As hanging up the last of my husband's shirts, I looked at the clock-4 :30. Jonathan's class ended at 3: 15. It was late and I hurriedly drove to the school.

I was out of breath by the time I knocked on the teacher's door. I peered through the glass. She opened the door and let me in.

“I want to talk to you about Jonathan,” she said. I prepared myself for the worst. Nothing would have surprised me. “Did you know Jonathan brought flowers to school today?” she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite bush and trying to hide the hurt in my eyes.

“Let me tell you what happened yesterday,"” the teacher continued. “See that little girl?"I saw a bright eyed child laugh and point to a colorful picture taped to the wall.

“Well, yesterday she was almost crazy. Her mother and father are going through a divorce. She told me she didn't want to live. She wished she could die. I did all I could to comfort her, but it only seemed to make matters worse.”

“Today I watched your son walk to that child and hand her some pretty pink flowers, whispering something."
