Originally a medieval frtress and kings’ hmes n the right bank f the Seine, the Luvre Museum has many famus pieces n permanent display.
Mna Lisa
The Mna Lisa, painted by Lenard da Vinci, has been n display at the Luvre Museum since 1797. Mre than six millin peple visit the Luvre t see the Mna Lisa each year. The fame is almst entirely the result f a rbbery that tk place in 1911, when the Mna Lisa was taken frm the Luvre by an Italian patrit. The thief was caught trying t sell the painting t the Uffizi Museum in Flrence, and the Mna Lisa was returned t Paris in early 1914.
Winged Victry f Samthrace
Representing the Greek gddess f victry, Nike was fund in hundreds f different pieces in 1863 n the Greek island f Samthrace befre she was brught t the Luvre Museum. She was psitined as the sle figure n tp f a staircase in the museum in 1863 where she has remained ever since. The athletic wear cmpany f the same name used the gddess f victry as inspiratin fr the brand, and the Nike lg is taken frm the shape f the tp f her wings.
Venus de Mil
Discvered in 1820 n the Greek island f Mil, the Venus de Mil was gifted t King Luis XⅧ, wh dnated it t the Luvre cllectin. Venus de Mil is thught t represent the Greek gddess Aphrdite, thugh her identity has never been prven. She is psitined t appear as if she is lking acrss the ther Rman depictins f Venus that appear in the same hall at the Luvre Museum.
Liberty Leading the Peple
Painted by Eugene Delacrix, this wrk depicts a wman, a symbl f the French Revlutin knwn as Marianne, hlding the triclr revlutinary French flag that wuld later becme the fficial flag f France, while standing abve the bdies f fallen men.

Dara was diagnsed as autistic when he was 5. Life was islated and difficult, but he cntinued t learn, write and phtgraph. Nature was and is as big a part f him as his wn heartbeat.
Dara’s family used t live in Belfast, a city filled with piercing nise. It was a struggle fr the yung autistic. He culdn’t fade ut the nise t hear what mattered. In 2013, Dara’s dad, wh is a cnservatin scientist, transferred t Cunty Fermanagh, s the family mved and life started t change fr Dara.
The vlume was turned dwn enugh t hear things and the by discvered quiet places s alive with wildlife. He felt a surge grwing inside him. Dara lved this place. The screaming vlume in his mind turned dwn and thughts and wrds started t spill ut.
Dra started his blg in June 2016 and has been verwhelmed by the reactins t it frm the wider wrld. He’s met sme wnderful peple and had extrardinary pprtunities. His blg wn the yuth categry fr the Wildlife Trusts 30 Days Wild 2017 campaign and he himself wn the yearly “cmpetitin” — best blg f 2016 — rganized by A Fcus n Nature.
Dara als rganizes wildlife awareness displays fr schls and rganizatins. The first time he did this, he had t breathe int a paper bag. He als engages with yung peple all the time, nurturing their cnnectins with nature and expsing them t ideas and ways in which they can help t. At hme he helps his dad with the many rescue animals he brings back.
Writing abut autism and nature is an imprtant part f Dara’s life. It has helped him cpe with his difficulties and differences. He hpes t further grw and spread the message f envirnmental awareness, lcal bidiversity and cnservatin thrugh his writing and campaigning in the future.
The publicatin f Diary f a yung naturist in May 2020 further changed Dara’s life. In September the same year, he became the yungest ever authr t win the Wainwright Prize fr Nature writing.

A 2020 study in the jurnal Science cncluded that marine heat waves have increased mre than 20-fld as a result f climate warming. The authrs fund that in the first decade after satellites began recrding cean temperatures (i.e., after 1981), there were 27 large marine heat waves, with an average duratin f 32 days and an average peak temperature anmaly f 8.5°F; in the 2010s, there were 172, which lasted 48 days n average with an average peak temperature almst 10°F abve nrmal.
Much remains unclear abut marine heat waves. Fr example, explains Nichlas Bnd, research scientist at the University f Washingtn and Washingtn’s state climatlgist, there is the questin f why s many persist fr weeks r mnths. “There must be smething else ging n that helps maintain them,” he says. He ntes that ne explanatin is that as the cean surface warms, it radiates heat int the atmsphere that prevents clud cver frm frming, expsing the seawater t increased sunlight and further warming.
Hwever, enugh is knwn abut marine heat waves fr scientists t be gravely cncerned abut their ptential impacts. Of special nte is the fact that thse impacts can last lng after the heat waves have disappeared. After three years f the Blb, the waters f the nrtheastern Pacific began t cl in 2016; but years later, scientists are still determining the extent t which the regin’s ecsystem is likely t return fully t its pre-Blb status. Similarly, ntes Scannell, wh is a data scientist with Jupiter Intelligence, Inc., fllwing the 2010-11 Western Australia event, “lts f kelp(巨藻) frests died, and it takes literally decades fr thse ecsystems t bunce back”.
Eric Oliver, a scientist frm Dalhusie University in Nva Sctia, Canada, expressed his wn pinin abut the ptential impact f the heat waves in trpical waters. “I think that’s really a tugh issue,” he says. Life in the trpics, he ntes, is adapted t “quite a narrw range f temperatures. S that’s where things can get really messy. We can have cmplete shifts in trpical systems.”
28. What can we infer frm the figures listed in para. 1?
A. The prblem f marine heat waves is becming wrse.
B. The satellites enable scientists t recrd cean temperature precisely.
C. Climate change is the main cause f the marine heat waves.
D. Marine heat waves have been fund by scientists fr abut 30 years.
29. What des the 2nd paragraph mainly talk abut?
A. Varius factrs that lead t marine heat waves.
B. The pssible impacts f a warm cean surface.
C. The pssible reasn why marine heat waves last lng.
D. Scientists’ effrts in explring the causes f heat waves.
30. What d we knw abut the impact f the marine heat waves?
A. The impact will disappear shrtly after the sea water cls.
B. It takes lng befre the ecsystem makes a cmplete recvery.
C. Scientists have knwn enugh t restre the impact.
D. The nrtheastern Pacific and Western Australia are the wrst cases.
31. What is Eric Oliver’s attitude twards the heat waves in trpic waters?
A. Cncerned.B. Indifferent.C. Dubtful.D. Optimistic.

Peple’s ability t remember fades with age — but ne day, researchers might be able t use a simple, drug-free methd t buck this trend.
In a study published n 22 August in Nature Neurscience, Rbert Reinhart, a cgnitive neurscientist at Bstn University in Massachusetts, and his clleagues demnstrate that zapping(刺激) the brains f adults aged ver 65 with weak electrical currents repeatedly ver several days led t memry imprvements that persisted fr up t a mnth.
Using a nn-invasive methd f stimulating the brain knwn as transcranial alternating current stimulatin (tACS), which delivers electrical currents thrugh electrdes n the surface f the scalp, Reinhart’s team cnducted a series f experiments n 150 peple aged between 65 and 88. Participants carried ut a memry task in which they were asked t recall lists f 20 wrds that were read alud by an experimenter. The participants underwent tACS fr the entire duratin f the task, which tk 20 minutes.
After fur cntinuus days f this prtcl, participants wh received high-frequency stimulatin f the drslateral prefrntal crtex(背外侧前额叶皮质) had an imprved ability t remember wrds frm the beginning f the lists, a task that depends n lng-term memry. Lw-frequency zaps t the inferir parietal lbe(顶下小叶) enhanced participants’ recall f items later in the lists, which invlves ‘wrking’ memry — the memry that allws the brain t stre infrmatin temprarily. Participants’ memry perfrmance imprved ver the fur days — and the gains persisted even a mnth later. Thse wh had the lwest levels f general cgnitive functin befre the study experienced the largest memry imprvements.
“I was bth impressed and surprised by this, by this paper,” says Simn Hanslmayr, a cgnitive neurscientist at the University f Glasgw, UK. He ntes that alng with ther scientists, he has been sceptical abut whether tACS can lead t meaningful changes in cgnitin. One issue has been that tACS devices generate electrical currents much weaker than thse created by ther methds f stimulating the brain, s it hasn’t always been clear whether they can transmit enugh electricity t the brain t mdify its functin. Hwever, the authrs f this study cnvincingly shwed that their prtcl was linked t “cnsistent and quite strng imprvements in memry”, Hanslmayr says.
32. What des the underlined wrd “buck” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Operate. B. Destry. C. Fllw. D. Resist.
33. What can we learn abut the experiments?
A. The experiments invlved peple aged ver 65 and yung students with gd memry.
B. Participants were required t recall lists f 20 wrds when they read the wrds alud.
C. Stimulating the inferir parietal lbe with lw-frequency bsted the shrt-term memry.
D. High-frequency stimulatin f the drslateral prefrntal crtex imprved ‘wrking’ memry.
34. Why has Simn Hanslmayr been sceptical abut tACS?
A. The electricity sent by tACS is nt sufficient t guarantee meaningful changes in cgnitin.
B. The peple wh have pr cgnitive functin experienced the least memry imprvements.
C. tACS devices generate electrical currents as weak as thse created by ther methds.
D. tACS devices cannt ensure cnsistent and quite strng imprvements in memry.
35. What is the text mainly abut?
A. tACS can lead t meaningful changes in cgnitin.
B. tACS can help peple with cnditins such as Alzheimer’s disease.
C. Brain stimulatin leads t lng-lasting imprvements in memry.
D. Brain stimulatin benefits thse with pr cgnitive functin mst.

Success lks different fr everyne. Fr ne persn, it culd mean getting a prmtin r creating a better wrk-life balance. 36
But while making changes in yur life can seem verwhelming, it desn’t have t be. Yu can d small things that have a huge impact n yur quality f life. Check ut three things yu can d that will empwer yu t be mre successful — n yur wn terms.
Set weekly and mnthly gals.
Setting regular gals fr yurself can keep yu frm getting stagnant in bth yur prfessinal and persnal life. The best way t keep track f yur gals is t write them dwn. Jt them n a whitebard, a ntepad n yur desk, r an nline calendar — anywhere yu can see them regularly. (“Exercise three times this week”, fr example, r “Finish a big presentatin.”) 37
Set aside time fr yurself every day.
38 It’s imprtant t stp, take a breath, and have sme time just fr yurself. Set up calendar alerts r blck ut “busy” time in yur daily calendar that makes yu unavailable t thers. During this time, yu culd g ut fr a real lunch away frm yur desk, take a walk, wrk n a side prject, r even read a bk. Whatever it is, be sure t use this time t recharge yur batteries.
39
It’s easy t spend all yur dwntime binge-watching shws n Netflix r bsessing ver scial media. But when was the last time yu tried smething new that put yu ut f yur element? In rder t avid getting bred, it’s imprtant t break ut f yur cmfrt zne by finding fresh activities and passins. 40 Pick ne thing that yu’ve always wanted t d, r smething that yu liked when yu were a kid and never pursued. Then start researching ways yu can make it happen. By pening yurself up t different experiences, yu’re bund t learn smething new abut yurself.

Susan fund the shebx in the attic. It was cvered with dust. Susan cleaned and remved the cver. The paper
animals hidden in the darkness f the attic fr s lng had been dusty and the bright paper patterns had faded. Susan
held the paper animals carefully and admired. She was amazed at them, “I have never seen such creative wrks. Yur
mm was an amazing artist.” In my memries the paper animals wuld jump and run. But nw I fund they culdn’t
mve. I picked up the paper tiger.
I unflded the paper tiger and fund several lines f Chinese characters written by my mther. But I culd nt read Chinese. I nly recgnized the wrd “sn” in Chinese. I knew it was a letter t me written by my mther. I psted the pht f the letter n Facebk in hpe that smebdy culd read it fr me. In n time it received sme cmments, which said it was the life stry f my mther. One translated it int English. Reading the letter, I culdn’t help sbbing. Thrugh my misty eyes, I read, “w ai ni, babei.” Which means, “I lve yu, my sn.” I cried ut, “I lve yu, Mm. I miss yu, Mm.”
