Unique Birthday Traditions
The editors of our international editions share traditions reserved for counting yourself one year older.
Lithuania
“In my native country, it is customary for the birthday person to sit in a decorated chair and to be lifted up by the party guests,”says editor Eva Mackevic.“How many times the chair is raised will correspond with his or her age.”
Japan
In Japan, when a child turns one, a ceremony called erabitori is held, where the birthday child chooses from a selection of items spread out around that represent the potential future When a person turns 20, a coming-of-age celebration will be held on the second Monday anuary.

A child's first birthday is often celebrated with balloons and specially made“fairy bread”. Some families in Australia also mark the age of 21 with a souvenir“key to the door”, representing the young adult's privilege to come and go from the family home as they please.
Germany
“In Germany, when unmarried men turn thirty, they are supposed to sweep the stairs of the local church or town hall,”editor Michael Kallinger says,“while women have to deal with the door handle.” This public act is meant to embarrass the person and motivate them to marry.

For most of the year, Embleton Bay is almost deserted, a magical curve of sand on edge of the world. This is where the pupils of Embleton Primary School, a beach school,a very Friday——to learn.
Nicola Threlfall, head teacher of the school, says that teachers employ a range teaching methods to realize
teaching objectives, from more traditional written work to teach paths in the sand with sticks, covering diverse topics.
Sometimes the environment itself works wonder. Nicola explains there are huge benefits to giving children the opportunity to just“be”. Watching the waves, lying on the sand feeling the wind and sun on their faces, or rolling down sand dunes are all an essential part of the beach- school experience, enabling children, to explore, test their own limits and understand their place in their environment.
Online resources are provided, too, in terms of engaging children and fostering an interest in beaches. During lockdown, the students enjoyed a virtual online lecture with the Rock Pool Project, a social group that encourages people of all ages to discover marine life.
During the winter months, sand blows in ripples across the beach under the biting north winds. How do the children cope with the difficult weather? Nicola says they like to get the kids out on the beach in all weather. If it's raining, they head to the bird hide; when it's cold, the kids warm up by doing more physical activities. On warmer days, they sit on picnic tables outside to enjoy their lunch.
The beach is within walking distance of the school gates but the one kilometre down the hill-and another one back up still proves challenging for little legs. Nicola confirms that noticeable improvement in the children's endurance and fitness level is one of the main advantages.
Embleton Primary School is demonstrating how successful outdoor learning can be. Can more school modify
The curriculum to include regular time outside for their students ?
24. How does the school carry out outdoor learning?
A. By giving lectures regularly.
B. By integrating diverse approaches.
C. By inspiring students to write more.
D. By centering on environmental issues.
25. What do teachers do in tough winter days?
A. Shorten beach hours. B. Adjust student activities.
C. Postpone outdoor events. D. Change teaching objectives.
26. How does the author find the beach lessons?
A. Fully-researched. B. Widely-provided.
B. Confidence-boosting. D. Character-building.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Start from Beach B. Live with Sea life
C. Enjoy Beach Activities D. Reform Future Education
C
A recent New York Times opinion piece by Daniel Willingham addressed the question of whether listening to a book is the same as reading it. Willingham begins the piece with a frequently asked question——Is it cheating if I listen to an audiobook for my book club?
Willingham argues that they're both worthwhile but is careful to note that doesn't mean they have the same value. In line with his points in the article, I listen to audiobooks when I wouldn't otherwise be engaged in a book——say, at the gym or while walking. That's certainly an advantage of listening over reading. But I was surprised to find that Willingham didn't mention what I consider to be the biggest difference between the two: Engagement.
The critical difference, for me, between reading and listening is that reading is something you do, while listening is something that happens to you. Reading is an act of engagement. The words on the page aren't going to read themselves, which is something they literally do in an audiobook. If you're not actively taking in written information, then you're not going to make progress on the book. Audiobooks, on the other hand, make progress with or without your participation.
Willingham refers to this point by saying that harder books——“difficult texts”as he calls them——require more engagement, which is thus better suited to reading. Yet it's not necessarily true. For example, I've recently been listening to David Graeber's excellent Debt: The First5000 Years, a tough read with lots of information and arguments. While I haven't grasped every piece of information that he's presented, I have spent a lot more time thinking about an important topic than I otherwise would. This fill-in-the-cracks nature of audiobooks is a critical advantage.
Ultimately, it's fair to consider audiobooks and written texts as fundamentally different media. They are different forms based on the same work. Your option depends on what you are willing to give to it(time, above all) and what you hope to get out of it.
28. What is an advantage of audiobooks according to Willingham?
A. Cutting down one's reading time.
B. Increasing absorption of knowledge.
C. Providing more flexible access to information.
D. Encouraging further thinking on serious topics.
29.What does the writer think of reading?
A. It helps the general idea to stand out.
B. It suits people working on difficult texts.
C. It speeds up readers' progress on the book.
D. It requires more participation from readers.
30. Why does the writer mention Debt: The First 5000 Years?
A. To demonstrate what makes a tough read.
B. To show why audiobooks attract listeners.
C. To prove audiobooks also suit hard texts.
D. To stress reading can also take huge effort.
31. What can we learn about texts and audiobooks from the last paragraph? .
A. They involve similar efforts.
B. They prove equally demanding.
C. They have distinct user groups.
D. They serve different purposes.
D
In some species, when the conditions get tough, the body hits the brakes, lowering body temperature, slowing
the speed of consuming energy to a snail's pace and entering a state known as torpor. Humans do not enter torpor,
but the condition might offer benefits across situations as seemingly unrelated as intensive care unit (ICU) stays and
long-distance space travel.
Using ultrasound (超声) waves targeted at a deep region of the brain, researchers at Washington University created a torpor-like state in mice. Mice can naturally enter this state, so the scientists also tested the technique in rats, animals which don't enter torpor by nature. The findings, published on May 25th in Nature Metabolism, could potentially inform research on targeting different brain areas with ultrasound to regulate other bodily activities.
Without having to physically invade the targets' heads, the approach is an important step in advancing torpor toward human use, says Michael Ambler, a researcher and. lecturer studying torpor at the University of Bristol in England. Some earlier efforts relied on injecting a gene into the targeted-brain-region-to-assist-in-producing a torpor-like state with light or drugs. Such invasive approaches are unlikely to gain approval for human use, Ambler says, making the new study“an extremely interesting piece of work.”

If this noninvasive approach were to become possible in humans, one potential use would be to buy heart attack patients time in transport to the hospital. In the ICU, torpor could also be applied before drugs and monitoring are involved in patient care. This study even presents a very first step toward the potential to support human's long lonely journeys in space.
Yet before that possibility takes flight in the future, research on a familiar species must come first. Ambler says the next step should be testing in larger, nonhuman animals, probably pigs.“They are most like humans——hairless and similar to humans in terms of body temperature,”he says.“It's a step-by-step process, from mice to rats to pigs to monkeys and then, hopefully, eventually to humans”———and then, perhaps, beyond the bounds of planet Earth.
32.What does the underlined word“torpor”in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Having much energy. B. Being not active.
C. Requiring little sleep. D. Decreasing in size.
33.How is the ultrasound approach different from earlier ones?
A. It avoids cutting into the body.
B. It targets directly at the brain.
C. It proves effective for human use.
D. It goes together with light or drugs.
34. What is a possible application of the research?
A. Monitoring ICU patients.
B. Curing heart attack victims.
C. Stabilizing body temperature.
D. Supporting long space travels.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Promotion of the technique.
B. Significance of the findings.
C. Focus of the follow-up research.
D. Review of the experiment process.

Mosquitoes are drawn to all people, but some people seem to be the unlucky ones who are more tempting to mosquitoes. Experts have identified two main categories of factors that make one more attractive to mosquitoes: biological aspects and behaviors.
Chief among the first group of factors is how you smell. Dozens of diverse molecules(分子) throughout our body come together to create our unique smell. It's a combination of a dozen smells. 36 It's also possible that some people produce more of the smell that mosquitoes like.
Blood type may also matter. Mosquitoes seem to be interested in people with Type 0 blood, for reasons researchers haven't confirmed. 37 Mosquitoes seek out carbon dioxide. The more we breathe, the more carbon dioxide we send into the air, inviting bugs our way.
Then there are the factors that are more dependent on how you act throughout the day. I you are to do a hard workout outside, you might breathe more heavily and produce more carbon dioxide, which might attract mosquitoes. 38 If it mixes with bacteria on your skin or contains alcohol from your beach-side beers, you have a much higher chance to be bitten.
39 There are a few evidence-based strategies to keep them at bay. Certain clothing colors like black and dark blue can act like a mosquito magnet. Mosquitoes are also drawn to bright oranges and reds. Therefore, try to stick to lighter colors and wear long sleeves and pants. Or, you can try a simple trick——grab a fan and point it under a table, since mosquitoes love to stay near the ground and bite our feet. 40
A. After all, they're not good fliers.
B. How can we drive off the mosquitoes?
C. Therefore, try to reduce exercise on a hot day.
D. Do colors matter in this hide-and-seek game?
E. The pattern of how you breathe also plays a role.
F. Sweat sends a powerful signal to mosquitoes too.
G. This mix of chemicals is likely to draw mosquitoes.

I had a lovely, odd aunt named Amelia. She always ware colorful clathing and had a colorful personality to match. She was brave, beautiful, outgoing, and generous. Despite her modest beginnings, she managed to turn her passion for dance into a suecessful career. Amelia’s journey began when she got accepted into the famous Juilliard School of Dance in the heart of Manhattan. With dedication and discipline, she sharpened her skills, specializing in ballet. Her graceful movements and remarkable talent earned her awards and paved the way for a promising future.
She went on to teach dance at Juilliard and later toured the world as a member of the New York City Ballet. Although I had never attended one of her professional productions, I was eventually treated to an unexpected, semi-private solo performance by her.
While I was visiting her as a young girl, she surprised me with an outing to a grand theater to watch a ball et performance. The theater was large, spacious, and decorated with beautifully crafted wooden balconies and private boxes. We were seated in the front row at ground level. Toward the end of the show, the lead dancer twirled(旋转) across the stage with elegance and precision. The beautiful music grew louder, and the audience became fascinated by the amazing show. Right at this moment, my aunt rose from her seat, then turned and faced the audience. I instantly slipped down in my seat, unsure of what was happening. With graceful movements, Amelia seamlessly joined the dancers on stage, effortlessly blending(融入) into the performance. The audience were all shocked at first.. However, as Amelia showed her dance skills, twirling across the stage and expressing emotions through her movements, they couldn't take their eyes off her. It seemed like she was meant to be there.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

As the music ended，Amelia calmly returned to her seat，breathing steadily.


Inspired by Amelia，I decided to pursue my own dream of dancing.
