The right book can open your mind in ways you might not have imagined. Below are the reads that will help you think differently.

Tiny Beautiful Things

From feeling stuck to trying to find love with a disability, there’s no problem too big or too small for the writer of the book. She never sugar-coats her words, but they are kind, compassionate and hit you right in the heart. These stories will make you rethink the big and small things, and stay with you long after reading.

Dear Dolly: Collected Wisdom

Its writer has always shined when penning life advice via her agony aunt column in The Sunday Times Style. Working towards a life milestone or trying to change your path is no easy task. She knows this and advises with empathy and without judgment. “You can’t have it all,” she said. “You must often choose to fully appreciate the life you carve for yourself. You just might need some guidance along the way.”

The Com fort Book

If anyone knows how to talk about life’s big moments in an accessible way, it’s the writer of this book. He knows many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learned while we are at our lowest. The Comfort Book is a collection of consolations learned in hard times and suggestions for making the bad days better.

Manifest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life

With some of her own experiences, the writer intended to encourage you to assess what you really want out of your life—and help you on the path to reaching them mentally and practically. This one is a different way to think about the goals we want to achieve over a new year, and how we might get them.

Instead of getting the latest video game system or meeting a celebrity, a young boy who was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness last year has used his Make-A-Wish opportunity to help the homeless in his community.

Abraham and his mother, Miriam, have a passion for taking care of the homeless around their neighborhood in Jackson, Mississippi. The pair have a history of providing food to the needy every third Saturday, and they recently got added help from the Make-A-Wish foundation in Mississippi after he was diagnosed with a rare disease, aplastic anemia, in 2020.

The condition causes the body to stop producing enough new blood cells, leaving patients exhausted and easier to suffer infection and uncontrolled bleeding. Abraham later experienced a successful bone marrow transplant(骨髓移植) and found out he was qualified to have one of his dreams fulfilled by Make-A-Wish. It didn’t take long for Abraham to think of the perfect choice. He would continue the mission that was important to him and his mom. With the help of the foundation, Abraham fed about 80 people in Jackson in September.

When the homeless people got the plate, some of them would come back and sing to them and thank them. “And it just really feels good; it warms our hearts. And my parents always taught me that it’s a blessing to be a blessing,” Abraham said.

Not only that, but Make-A-Wish said they would help Abraham feed the homeless in Jackson every third Saturday until August 2022, ensuring that he could help even more people in need.

Abraham did receive a few gifts from Make-A-Wish, including a new laptop, a ring light, and a microphone to help him start a channel on a social media platform. He also plans to start a non-profit called “Abraham’s Table” to continue his mission.

24．How often do Abraham and his mom offer food to those in need?

A．At least once a day. B．At least once a week.

C．At least once a month. D．At least once a year.

25．What can we infer about Abraham from paragraph 3?

A．He is doing what he wants to. B．He has been completely cured.

C．He decided to support his family. D．He got a mission from an organization.

26．What does Abraham mean to do?

A．Start a public welfare program. B．Send more Make-A-Wish cards.

C．Join a non-profit organization. D．Feed the homeless every Saturday.

27．Which of the following can best describe Abraham?

A．Imaginative and practical. B．Ambitious and creative.

C．Caring and considerate. D．Determined and patient.

C

Can people who understand the emotions of others better interpret emotions conveyed through music? A new study by an international team of researchers suggests the abilities are linked.

The study’s results provide a foundation for future research that could test the impact of socially engaged music listening on social cognitive ability, and whether listening to music can be added to therapeutic(治疗的) techniques used in social skills training for individuals with autism spectrum disorder(孤独症谱系障碍).

The findings were published recently in a scientific journal of the American Psychological Association. The study was led by Benjamin A. Tabak, assistant professor of psychology. “Empathy (共情) is most often thought of in the context of social interactions, but there are many other forms of social communication, including music,” Tabak said. “Music can convey meaning and emotion and also bring emotional responses, but what is responsible for its emotional power is poorly understood.”

Tabak and his colleagues wanted to test their theory about empathy and music. For the purposes of this study, they measured the ability to correctly understand others’ thoughts and feelings—empathic accuracy—and the extent to which one feels the emotions that another feels.

“We thought it would be interesting to study whether people who more accurately understand others’ thoughts and feelings might also be more accurate in understanding what musicians are intending to convey through music,” Tabak said. “Similarly, we wanted to know whether people who tend to feel the emotions that others are experiencing also tend to feel the emotions conveyed through music.”

The initial set of findings found support for both hypotheses. In particular, the results suggest that empathic accuracy as a skill extends beyond interpersonal interactions into music. Tabak believes that the study provides tentative support for the theory that music is first and foremost a social behavior that gradually develops to help individuals connect with others and better understand and manage their social environment.

28．What can the study result be used to do?

A．Be the basis for the next study. B．Apply music to social skills training.

C．Decide the music suitable for autism. D．Test the impact of music on emotions.

29．About the link between music and emotions, what needs further understanding?

A．The effect of music. B．The academic support.

C．The function of music. D．The emotions music expresses.

30．What is Tabak’s attitude towards the study?

A．Ignorant. B．Confident. C．Pessimistic. D．Doubtful.

31．Which can be the best title for the text?

A．The Social Behavior Music Reflects

B．The Ability To Accurately Understand Empathy

C．Research Shows The Role Empathy May Play In Music

D．Research Will Set Foundation For Further Research

D

Cambodia recorded 792 rare white-shouldered ibises(白肩黑鹮) in its 2022 census(统计), an increase of 5 percent from 755 birds in a year earlier, conservationists said on Thursday.

Bou Vorsak, director of BirdLife in Cambodia, said the census, jointly conducted by the members of the Cambodian Ibis Working Group(CIWG), found 377 white-shouldered ibises at Siem Pang Wildlife Sanctuary, 326 at the Mekong Flooded Forest, and 89 at Koh Srolauv, Kulen Promtep, Lomphat, Srepok and Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuaries. “The white-shouldered ibis is one of the rarest birds in the world, with the global population of approximately 1,000 birds,” he told the journalist. “Cambodia is the largest habitat for this critically endangered species, accounting for nearly 80 percent of the global population.”

Vorsak said BirdLife in Cambodia is delighted to support this species working group to develop and implement the Cambodian ibis conservation action plan to protect the critically endangered birds from extinction.

Neth Pheaktra, secretary of state and spokesman for the Ministry of Environment, said the government thanked all conservation partners for their efforts to protect and conserve natural resources and wildlife, including white-shouldered ibises.

“The Ministry of Environment and non-governmental organization(NGO) partners will continue their efforts to provide safe habitats to wildlife through law enforcement(执行), local economic supporting, and other education campaigns to change public behavior,” he said. “The Ministry of Environment will continue to educate people to stop trapping, hunting, eating and trading wildlife.”

World Wide Fund(WWF) Cambodia country director Seng Teak congratulates the rising number of white-shouldered ibis population trends in Cambodia. “It is a positive result for the conservation and protection of the species. We stand ready to collaborate on the joint conservation action efforts to thrive for stronger survival of this rare species,” he said.

32．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

A．There were 755 ibises recorded in 2022.

B．The population of ibises has dropped by 5 percent.

C．The population of the white-shouldered ibis is small.

D．The white-shouldered ibis is the rarest bird in the world.

33．What does the underlined word “implement” in paragraph 3 mean?

34．What action will the Ministry of Environment take to protect ibises?

A．Making policy to protect them.

B．Giving local residents economic supporting.

C．Forcing people to spare fields for wildlife.

D．Educating people not to do harm to them.

35．Why did Teak say the words in the last paragraph?

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

I started my practice specializing in sleep disorders, and soon came to realise how strongly loneliness was linked with poor sleep. I’ve expanded on my skills and understanding of loneliness in order to know how I could best serve my clients.

What is loneliness? It’s an emotion. We probably all experience it at some point, but loneliness is very complex and unique to each of us.   36   Solitude(独处) is a choice, but feeling lonely isn’t something that we force ourselves to accept. You want to be around people, but something is making you feel unwanted, empty or isolated, so you’re not having the meaningful connection you seek.

When does it become a problem? When you’re feeling lonely over a long period of time, it can turn into a mental and physical health problem, and can be a symptom or cause of depression.   37  You might turn to food and not feel motivated to exercise, as chronic(长期的) loneliness is linked to increased risk of high blood pressure, obesity and even dementia.

  38   Accept and acknowledge it. Loneliness is a valid feeling. Don’t brush it under the carpet, as that doesn’t help solve the problem. Seek joy in little things, like smelling a flower or a walk in nature. Celebrate each small achievement. When you decide to change things and seek a connection with others, consider a like-minded group.   39 

How can people help someone who is lonely? The best approach is to ask how they are and what they’re doing, and listen to the answer in a non-judgmental way. If you want to invite them to do something with you, do it.   40   They might need time before feeling ready to say yes.

A．It can also affect self-respect.

B．How can you manage loneliness?

C．How can you become a specialist in loneliness?

D．If they say no, don’t discourage you from asking again.

E．There’s a big difference between solitude and loneliness.

F．A person with loneliness may have few friends to talk with.

G．A client of mine joined a sewing group and it was very successful.

When we lost our beloved ones, we must feel heartbroken. However, we can do something to make the world remember them.

My little boy, Matthew, had recently lost his beloved grandma. He would often push hard my hand in tears, longing for his grandma to come back to the world. One day, he had an idea. He asked me if we could do something in honor of Grandma so the world could remember her. When I welcomed his lovely suggestion, he said we could create something special for the children at the hospital, since Grandma had always wanted to volunteer there. Although her heart was so ready to give, her physical capacity was limited. She couldn’t drive or make the long walk over to the hospital and therefore had spent the majority of her days doing what she could for her family and friends. So, we decided to fulfill Grandma’s last life wish.

Matthew and I teamed up and presented our kindness proposal to his preschool classmates. We energized them with the prospect of going shopping and purchasing small gifts(chocolates, flowers, and cards) which they could put into handcrafted holiday baskets which the kids themselves could make. It would be a basket which was wholly made by one child and solely for another. As the young faces happily agreed, we were off on executing our plan!

Matthew and I scouted out(搜索) the most child-friendly stores and distributed fliers(传单) at these locations so the store owners were aware of our plan and could bring their most cherished items for the preschoolers to purchase. Matthew’s preschool peers selectively made their picks, and after we collected all of the items, we placed the chocolates, flowers, and got well cards into seven beautifully crafted baskets for the bedridden children at our local Children’s Hospital. When Matthew and two of his other little mates came to the hospital to make their deliveries, they were greeted with a tour of the facilities before they entered into each hospital room to change a sick child into a smiling one.
