Spearmint the seal has an addictin. Being t verly friendly t humans arund Plymuth, England, she's been sent t kick her human habits.
Spearmint was first seen in Caws and Bay, Crnwall, almst seven mnths ag, and was fund hanging ut with turists and swimmers, as well as paddlers. She was even knwn t have visited a lcal utdr pub.
The Ryal Sciety fr the Preventin f Cruelty t Animals (RSPCA) put the Nrth Atlantic gray seal int a treatment prgram, where rescuers were “wrking arund the clck t get her fit and healthy” enugh t be released.
After rehab, the rganizatin hpes t release her int a remte area f Sctland where she wn't be s tempted by peple. The Rame Wildlife Rescue Netwrk has als prvided assistance, raising mre than $6,500 fr the seal's relcatin.
Jessica Cllins, a medical wrker at British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), initiated the rescue. She says Spearmint is an endangered seal that has becme used t human cntact. “Despite receiving treatment at a yung age ,t change her human-related behavir is far frm easy. Spearmint's interest in humans grew nce released as she was fed regularly by turists,” Cllin s explained. “After multiple relcatins we fund Cawsand Bay, where we were able t cntrl the situatin better and keep peple away.”
The RSPCA plans t either reintrduce Spearmint t the wild r place her in permanent care in a shelter intended fr seals. “Give wild animals space and avid feeding them. We hpe the message carries thrugh beynd Spearmint's stry,” the RSPCA said in a statement.
4、What is Spearmint's addictin accrding t the passage?

C. Hanging ut with swimmers. D. Enjying being with humans.
5、What des “rehab” in paragraph 4 prbably refer t?

C. Treating the seal's human habits. D. Helping the seal grw strnger.
6、What des Jessica Cllins think is a majr challenge t BDLMR's wrk?
A. Turists' cnstant feeding.
B. The seal's need fr medical attentin.
C. Absence f early treatment fr the seal.
D. Spearmint's cnstant mving when released.

A tennis player wins tw sets in a rw, believing she can predict her ppnent's next mve. A scientist fails t ntice his mrning alarm, having analyzed data thrugh the night. These peple are experiencing what is knwn as flw—a unique mental state f effrtless engagement.
Flw is mre than just cncentratin r paying attentin. When peple experience flw, they lse track f time and are nt easily distracted. Unlike cycles f prcrastinatin (拖延) when starting an activity can feel impssible, during flw, stpping can be a challenge. Flw als tends t reduce feelings f wrry r self-judgment, thereby bsting creativity.
Researchers are wrking t understand why certain activities are mre likely t stimulate flw than thers. Despite a lack f certainty, there are several theries. Fr example, peple frequently describe experiencing flw when engaging in activities that they find mtivating and enjyable, like pursuing a hbby. Other research suggests balancing persnal skill level with the activity’s challenge is key fr finding flw. The classical game f Tetris(俄罗斯方块),fr example, keeps skill-challenge levels in balance by increasing the fall speed f blcks as players get better at the game. Still, ther studies suggest that activities with a clear gal and allwing yu t assess yur prgress tend t be mre effective in creating flw. Even thugh sme f these activities d nt require skill, mment-t-mment feedback may be enugh t mtivate deep engagement.
While n single prtcl can guarantee flw, there are steps yu can take t increase yur chances. Find a quiet envirnment free frm distracting nises r devices. Break yur tasks int small, specific sectins that are easy t track and learn frm. Set clear end gals that are challenging but nt frustratingly s. If yu are tired f the task, make it mre enjyable and exciting. Fr example, when running, try t keep pace with the beat f a sng. Mst imprtantly, and perhaps mst frustratingly, dn't fcus t much n reaching flw. That srt f distractin might just prevent yu frm finding it.
8、Flw differs frm me re cncentratin r paying attentin because .
A. it leads t prcrastinatinB. it increases feelings f wrry
C. it can be difficult t interruptD. it requires effective time management
9、Hw des the classical game f Tetris create flw?
A. By slwing dwn as players prgress.
B. By matching difficulty with player skill.
C. By rewarding players fr cmpleting levels.
D. By cntinuusly intrducing new challenges.
10、Which f the fllwing is recmmended fr reaching flw?
A. Setting clear and easy end gals.
B. Trying hard enugh t reach flw.
C. Aviding frustratin in the prcess.
D. Testing yur fcus with nises and devices.
11、What is a suitable title fr the text?

C. Challenges in Finding Flw D. The Science f Finding Flw
A new electrnic bandage(绷带) uses flashes f light t kill bacteria. N antibitics(抗生素) needed. The bandage has small LED bulbs that prduce a type f high-energy light called ultravilet-C (UVC) when it is put int use. UVC light is ften used by dctrs and dentists t sterilize(消毒) medical equipment. Hwever, using UVC t sterilize wunds has been a challenge because it requires a surce f energy. Typically, these bandages needed heavy batteries, but the new bandage is pwered by wireless technlgy, withut the need fr heavy batteries. This allws the bandage t be mre cmfrtable and flexible t wear and results in fewer used batteries in the trash.
The electricity fr the bandage cmes frm a “pwering cil(线圈),”which is a piece f fabric with cpper wires in it. It is similar tọ hw electric tthbrushes get their energy when placed in their charging cradles, accrding t Stephen Beeby, wh led the team that created the bandage.
While the team didn't invent wireless pwer r light-emitting bandages, they are the first t cmbine these technlgies t create a UV antibacterial system that perates entirely wirelessly, as explained by Mahmud Wagih, a c-wrker f Beeby. The bandage may nt lk nvel frm the utside, but inside it cntains a flexible strip with tiny LED lights that emit the UV light. When applied, the bandage peridically flashes UV light nt the wund's surface t effectively remve hidden bacteria.
Amirhssein Hajiaghajani, a wireless pwer researcher, sees ptential in this band age but ntes sme challenge fr its widespread use. The bandage needs t be within a certain range f its wireless energy surce, the pwering cil, which is currently abut 20 t 30 centimeters. Hajiaghajani believes that this range is limited and suggests that expanding it will be a key fcus fr future develpment.
12、What des the new electrnic band age d t sterilize wunds?
A. Give ff heat.B. Apply antibitics.
C. Prduce UVC light.D. Rely n heavy batteries.
13、Hw is the wrking principle f the bandage explained in paragraph 3?
A. By giving an example.B. By drawing a cmparisn.
C. By prviding an argument.D. By describing a prcess.
14、What is a unique achievement f Beeby and his team?
A. Inventing wireless pwer.
B. Creating light-emitting bandages.
C. Making a bandage nvel bth inside and ut.
D. Pineering a wireless antibacterial bandage.
15、What des Hajianghajani say abut the widespread use f the bandage?
A. It faces a challenge.B. It prves beneficial.
C. It is highly unlikely.D. It raises deep cncerns.
