It was a warm spring evening. As I ften d after a lng day, I went straight t my backyard and did sme wrk in my flwer garden. I had nly just walked a few steps n the pati (露台) when I suddenly felt a hrrifying blw t the right side f my neck. Ttally cnfused, I reached up and, t my shck and hrrr, realized that I had been sht — with an arrw.
I grabbed the arrw with a death grip where it had pierced my neck and ran inside, screaming my husband’s name. Ed ran t me and called an ambulance. I lay n the cuch and prayed. I didn’t knw if there was any way I culd survive.
The arrw had cme frm a yung man practising with a hunting bw in his backyard. Luckily, he was using a practice arrw. An arrw fr hunting wuld have killed me.
At the hspital, I tried hard t reassure my family and friends. I kept telling them I was fine, but the lks n their faces tld me that they weren’t buying it. After a CT scan, the dctrs and nurses began telling me hw lucky I was. The arrw had gne between the cartid artery and the jugular vein. There was n bleeding at all. Althugh I didn’t realize hw incredible this was, I began arguing with them that I wasn’t “lucky“, I was “blessed”. Smene tld my sn there was a pst n the site texasbwhunter.cm asking fr prayers fr me. It turns ut a friend had psted the prayer request n that website.
The mrning after my tw-hur surgery t remve the arrw, the surgen came in my rm. He revealed that I had a brain tumur and the surgery had t be dne. I remember ging a bit numb but thinking, Gd wrks in mysterius ways. The brain surgery was successful and in less than a week I was back hme.
Nthing eventful happened fr a cuple f years. After an MRI in 2015, I was tld that there was still n sign f a tumur grwing back. Had it nt been fr that arrw, I wuld have died frm a brain tumur. And hnestly, the arrw shuld have killed me. But it didn’t.
Cincidences? Luck? I think nt. The gentleman wh wrte the last cmment n the prayer-request thread n texasbwhunter.cm summed it up in just tw wrds. He simply wrte, “Amazing grace”.
4. Hw did the authr’ family feel when she tld them she was fine at the hspital?

Dreams, accrding t Carl Jung, reveal a certain amunt f reality hidden during waking cnsciusness. In Jungian philsphy, the cnflict and chas experienced in dreams finally bring rder t ur lives. While Jung’s mystical theries are debatable, he was nt mistaken abut the imprtance f dreaming. A grwing number f reprts shw that a cntinuus lack f dreaming is damaging ur waking hurs in many ways.
This trend is causing damage t ur immune and metablic (新陈代谢的) systems, let alne the electrnic prducts that keep us up late at night are ruining ur sleep patterns, which has lng-term cnsequences n ur memry system. One study shwed that nt allwing mice t have adequate amunts f REM (Rapid Eye Mvement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice culdn’t strengthen memries.
Yu might think this is just a sleep prblem, but dreaming is inseparable frm ur night-time rest. We sleep in cycles, each lasting abut 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we g thrugh nn-REM sleep befre hitting REM. As the night prgresses, REM sleep perids increase in length while deep sleep (ne f the stages f nn-REM sleep) decreases. The lnger we sleep, the mre time we spend in REM, which is why we are ften dreaming when waking up in the mrning. If we sleep less than seven hurs, hwever, it becmes harder t achieve this level f REM.
The cmbinatin f sleeping and dreaming acts as an emtinal stabiliser. We recver frm emtinal hurt faster when we sleep and dream prperly. Hwever, we’re nt getting enugh sleep t cycle thrugh the stages t take advantage f this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn t alchl r medicines t get t sleep, which nly makes things wrse because even ne drink leads t late REM while anti-depressants prmte deep sleep at the expense f REM.
We’re paying fr this lack f dreaming in many ways. Fr example, a 2021 study stated that cmpared with quiet rest and nn-REM sleep, REM prmted the frmatin f assciative netwrks and the integratin (整合) f unassciated infrmatin. Vlunteers that experienced mre REM sleep were better equipped fr slving prblems requiring creative slutins.
Rwan Hper, the managing editr at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emtinal cre” appear t be a main functin f REM sleep and that we shuld lk at sleep patterns as seriusly as we d diet and exercise habits.
8. What’s Carl Jung’s view abut dreams?

A. REM helps peple fight depressin.
B. REM can be imprved by anti-depressants.
C. REM sleep ccurs befre nn-REM sleep.
D. The brain receives new infrmatin during REM sleep.
11. What’s the main idea f the passage?

Scientists have transfused lab-made red bld cells int a human vlunteer in a wrld-first trial that experts say has majr ptential fr peple with hard-t-match bld types r cnditins such as sickle cell (镰状细胞) disease. The research culd smeday mean an end t lng searches fr cmpatible (兼容的) dnrs r dangerus transfusin reactins.
The experimental transfusin was dne at Addenbrke’s Hspital in Cambridge, England, as part f a cllabrative (合作的) effrt amng UK scientists t understand hw lab-made bld transfusins culd wrk.
The scientists tk whle bld frm dnrs in a UK database and separated ut the stem cells. These are the bdy’s raw materials — the cells frm which all specialized cells, like a red bld cell, can generate. The researchers grew red bld cells frm thse stem cells and transfused them int tw healthy vlunteers. The transfusins invlved nly a tiny amunt f bld: the equivalent f ne r tw teaspns. A standard bld transfusin wuld invlve many hundred times that amunt. This stage f the trial invlves tw mini transfusins at least fur mnths apart, ne with a standard dnatin f red cells and the ther with lab-made cells frm the same dnr.
The researchers are clsely mnitring the vlunteers t determine whether the prcess was safe. They say there have been with “n side effects” s far. They’re als watching hw lng the lab-grwn cells last cmpared with an infusin (灌输) f standard red bld cells. Red bld cells typically last abut 120 days, but a transfusin frm a standard dnatin cntains cells that are a variety f ages because the bne marrw (骨髓) cntinuusly makes these cells.
Previus tests have shwn that manufactured cells functin like nrmal cells and that these lab-made cells are likely t survive lnger verall while in circulatin. This study will determine fr the first time whether that’s true. Further trials will be necessary t determine whether there culd be a clinical use f this lab-grwn prduct.
The research culd eventually make a difference t peple with sickle cell disease, thse wh develp antibdies (抗体) against mst dnr bld types, r thse with genetic disrders in which their bdy can’t make red bld cells r the bld cells they make dn’t wrk well.
12. What functin is expected f the lab-made red bld cells transfusin?
A. It may make it easier t get bld dnrs.
B. It may grw red bld cells frm the stem cells.
C. It may end the dangerus transfusin reactins.
D. It may develp antibdies against many dnr bld types.
13. What can be inferred abut the experimental prcedure?
A. It is widely cnsidered nt safe despite many experiments.
B. The tw mini transfusins shuldn’t be carried ut clsely tgether.
C. The researchers transfused stem cells int vlunteers t mnitr them.
D. A standard bld transfusin nly need t invlve a tiny amunt f bld.
14. Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE?
A. The prcess f lab-made bld transfusins prves safe s far.
B. Lab-made cells survive lnger verall than nrmal cells in circulatin.
C. There are tw mini transfusins with lab-made cells in the experiment.
D. The stem cells, as the bdy’s raw materials, can’t prduce red1 bld cells.
15. What’s the passage mainly abut?
A. A small amunt f bld can make a difference.
B. Lab-made cells utweigh nrmal cells in a transfusin.
C. Lab-made cells can cntribute t bld-related diseases.
D. Lab-made cell transfusins can replace nrmal bld dnatins.

“Just think psitively!”
“It culd be wrse.”
“Yu shuld lk at the bright side!”
We’ve all heard (and maybe used) these phrases withut much thught. But they culd be cntributing t a culture f txic (有毒) psitivity. Fr thse new t this term, it might sund like an xymrn (矛盾修辞法). Hw can psitivity be txic? Isn’t it suppsed t be helpful, r “psitive”, as the name suggests?___16___
“Txic psitivity is when smebdy avids all negative thughts r feelings, pretending everything is ging well when it is nt,” explains Melissa Dwd, a therapist at PlushCare, a virtual health platfrm.

Txic psitivity causes us t suppress ur emtins, which can make them wrse. ___18___“Althugh it can be helpful t lk n the bright side when facing challenges,” Dwd says, “nt cping with negative feelings in a healthy way in the mment can lead t thse feelings resurfacing later in different areas f yur life r as a frm f anxiety.” ___19___ “If I feel like yu’re ging t set me aside, I’m ging t stp sharing hw I’m feeling,” Gdman adds.
___20___If yu’re using txic psitivity against yurself, Gdman suggests remembering it’s OK if yu’re upset abut smething. It’s valid if smething annys yu. “Allw urselves and ther peple t share when they’re ging thrugh a difficult time,” she says. Dwd adds that it’s essential that “we all learn t cpe with and prcess ur emtins in a healthy way as ppsed t aviding hw we feel” as life’s stressrs cntinue t rise. Fr example, instead f simply saying “Just think psitively,” we’d better say “Smetimes bad things happen. Hw can I help?”
A. Are there ways t avid txic psitivity?
B. Txic psitivity als interrupts cnnectin.
C. It can harm peple wh are ging thrugh difficult times.
D. Expressing txic psitivity t thers may lk like ffering them a simple slutin.
E. They becme mre intense and can als cause lng-lasting health cncerns in the future.
F. Experts say cnstant frced psitivity can lead t the ppsite, and have a negative effect.
G. This is what we may bring n t urselves by nt allwing negative thughts and feelings.

Scientists have transfused lab-made red bld cells int a human vlunteer in a wrld-first trial that experts say has majr ptential fr peple with hard-t-match bld types r cnditins such as sickle cell (镰状细胞) disease. The research culd smeday mean an end t lng searches fr cmpatible (兼容的) dnrs r dangerus transfusin reactins.
The experimental transfusin was dne at Addenbrke’s Hspital in Cambridge, England, as part f a cllabrative (合作的) effrt amng UK scientists t understand hw lab-made bld transfusins culd wrk.
The scientists tk whle bld frm dnrs in a UK database and separated ut the stem cells. These are the bdy’s raw materials — the cells frm which all specialized cells, like a red bld cell, can generate. The researchers grew red bld cells frm thse stem cells and transfused them int tw healthy vlunteers. The transfusins invlved nly a tiny amunt f bld: the equivalent f ne r tw teaspns. A standard bld transfusin wuld invlve many hundred times that amunt. This stage f the trial invlves tw mini transfusins at least fur mnths apart, ne with a standard dnatin f red cells and the ther with lab-made cells frm the same dnr.
The researchers are clsely mnitring the vlunteers t determine whether the prcess was safe. They say there have been with “n side effects” s far. They’re als watching hw lng the lab-grwn cells last cmpared with an infusin (灌输) f standard red bld cells. Red bld cells typically last abut 120 days, but a transfusin frm a standard dnatin cntains cells that are a variety f ages because the bne marrw (骨髓) cntinuusly makes these cells.
Previus tests have shwn that manufactured cells functin like nrmal cells and that these lab-made cells are likely t survive lnger verall while in circulatin. This study will determine fr the first time whether that’s true. Further trials will be necessary t determine whether there culd be a clinical use f this lab-grwn prduct.
The research culd eventually make a difference t peple with sickle cell disease, thse wh develp antibdies (抗体) against mst dnr bld types, r thse with genetic disrders in which their bdy can’t make red bld cells r the bld cells they make dn’t wrk well.
12. What functin is expected f the lab-made red bld cells transfusin?
A. It may make it easier t get bld dnrs.
B. It may grw red bld cells frm the stem cells.
C. It may end the dangerus transfusin reactins.
D. It may develp antibdies against many dnr bld types.
13. What can be inferred abut the experimental prcedure?
A. It is widely cnsidered nt safe despite many experiments.
B. The tw mini transfusins shuldn’t be carried ut clsely tgether.
C. The researchers transfused stem cells int vlunteers t mnitr them.
D. A standard bld transfusin nly need t invlve a tiny amunt f bld.
14. Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE?
A. The prcess f lab-made bld transfusins prves safe s far.
B. Lab-made cells survive lnger verall than nrmal cells in circulatin.
C. There are tw mini transfusins with lab-made cells in the experiment.
D. The stem cells, as the bdy’s raw materials, can’t prduce red1 bld cells.
15. What’s the passage mainly abut?
A. A small amunt f bld can make a difference.
B. Lab-made cells utweigh nrmal cells in a transfusin.
C. Lab-made cells can cntribute t bld-related diseases.
D. Lab-made cell transfusins can replace nrmal bld dnatins.
