New Year’s celebratins take many frms, but mst cultures have ne thing in cmmn—have a gd time after a lng, hard year. Fr much f the glbe this invlves drinking with friends until the sun cmes up, singing tgether. But thers have rather mre curius habits, ften filled with superstitin (迷信).

niards, in turn, cat a dzen grapes befre the strike f midnight, each fruit representing a mnth that will either be sweet r sur.
In the Philippines, peple wear plka dts (带圆点的服装) fr gd luck, while in sme cuntries f Suth America peple put n brightly clured underwear t attract frtune—red fr lve and yellw fr financial success.

Abbey Ahern, 34, wh lives in Oklahma, was shcked and heartbrken when she was tld at her 19-week scan that her daughter had the incurable illness anencephaly (无脑畸形) which meant she wuld nt live beynd a few hurs. It ripped her heart ut.
Accrding t the Natinal Institutes f Health, the illness means the baby has an underdevelped brain and incmplete skull (颅骨). Apprximately ne in 10,000 babies in the US are brn with anencephaly, mst f which result in early death.
As a result, Abbey and her pilt husband Rbert, als 34, decided t have a live birth s that they culd spend time with their daughter and dnate her rgans — making Annie the first newbrn baby dnr in the state.
Afterwards they asked the dctr fr the gender f their unbrn child and decided t name her n the spt. They named her easily: Annie, which means, “grace”. Abbey said: “Carrying a seriusly-ill baby t term was by far the mst difficult thing I have ever dne…Fr us, even in the middle f ur terrible heartbreak we were able t see s much beauty.” The family spent just 14 hurs and 58 minutes with Annie befre she passed away.
Her rgans were nt available fr transplant (移植) because her xygen levels were t lw — which Abbey said was “disappinting”— but they were able t dnate her heart valves (瓣膜) and sme f her rgans culd be used fr research. She said: “Annie’s stry is ne f hpe. I think it shws peple that in the middle f tragedy, there can be beauty.”
24. Hw did Abbey feel at the news abut her daughter firstly?

When drnes (无人机) first became widely available arund 15 years ag, it wasn’t uncmmn t find tech peple painting dramatic pictures f hw they were sn ging t change the wrld. Hwever, if yu lk up int the largely empty sky, yu can see that hasn’t happened yet.
Sure, drnes are useful fr taking aerial (空中的) phts, but we’re a lng way away frm aerial superhighways, packed with autnmus drnes carrying parcels at speeds that are near-impssible n the grund.
In 2016, Amazn annunced it had cmpleted its first ever aerial delivery. In a vide, we saw an Amazn “Prime Air” drne pick up a parcel and fly it acrss the cuntryside landing in the buyer’s garden, drpping the parcel, and then returning t its hme base. But Amazn still hasn’t cmpleted its secnd drne delivery. In fact, it has reprtedly dwnsized the drne prgramme.
S, will drne delivery ever be a thing? There are sme indicatins f a pssible drne delivery future nt in Britain, but in Africa. Because als since 2016, rural hspitals in Rwanda have been receiving regular shipments f medical supplies by drne thanks t a cmpany called Zipline. It surely has saved lives, thanks t the speed at which bld can be delivered in a cuntry with a prly develped rad netwrk. S culd we ever expect such a system here?
Unfrtunately there’s a big difference between rural Africa and thickly ppulated Britain. British hmes dn’t have large gardens where t land and nbdy wants lud large drnes cnstantly landing arund the neighburhd. Anther reality is that British cities may still have security and safety cncerns abut rutinely having drnes carrying stuff ver ur heads.
That’s why I wnder if the real drne future culd be crawling (爬) alng the grund. Fr a few years, “autnmus delivery rbts” with wheels have been walking n the pavements. S perhaps we’re nt s far away frm a drne delivery future, but the reality might be a little bit mre dwn t earth.
28. What can we learn frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. Drnes are widely used in daily life.B. Drnes have made delivery efficient.
C. Drnes are designed t take aerial phtsD. Drnes haven’t changed the wrld as expected.
29. Why des the authr mentin Zipline’s drne delivery?
A. T explain the prcess f drne delivery.
B. T stress the benefits brught by drne delivery.
C. T discuss the pssibility f a drne delivery future.
D. T shw its advantages ver Amazn’s drne delivery.
30. What is paragraph 5 mainly abut?
A. The security and safety cncerns abut drnes.
B. The ways that British peple react t drne delivery.
C. The differences between African cuntries and Britain.
D. The reasns why drne delivery isn’t suitable fr Britain.
31. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Drne Delivery Future: Pie in the SkyB. A Bright Future fr Drne Delivery
C. Change the Wrld with DrnesD. Drne Applicatins at Risk Wrldwide
D
Since we are vulnerable when we sleep, sleep must play a critical rle, r evlutin wuldn’t have selected fr it. Early humans had t hunt, gather fd and prtect themselves. Thse activities cnsumed much time, s unless sleep served very imprtant purpses, thse wh slept less wuld have an advantage. Yet sleeping fr lng hurs f the night was kept fr years, but scientists had nly general ideas abut what happened during sleep. Recently, Dr. Chiara Chiarelli, a neurscientist, shared what sleep neurscience research has discvered.
Neural (神经的) netwrks in the brain are cnnected thrugh synapses (神经突触) which allw signals t flw thrughut the brain and nt cells. During waking hurs, new learning can strengthen the cnnectins. Yu can think f knwledge acquired ver a lng time as a grup f well-cnnected neural paths. When yu learn smething new, new paths are cnnected t the ld. During the waking hurs, yur brain prcesses massive amunts f new insignificant infrmatin, say remembering where yu parked yur car. But that memry has t be preserved at least until yu reach the car. It establishes a new cnnectin t yur memry f what yur car lks like, a well-established “ld” memry. The brain creates s many cnnectins daily that particular circuits can be heavily burdened.
Dr. Cirelli explained that during sleep, a great many synaptic cnnectins are weakened s that cnnectins are mre available fr new learning the next day. Cntinuing with the parked car example, the exact lcatin f the parked car is nt needed again, s the cnnectins are weakened. In fact, if it were nt, yu might memrize hundreds f places where yu have parked, leading t cnsiderable cnfusin!
Yu dn’t have t be a scientist t understand that nt sleeping well affects next day functining —this is cmmn cultural wisdm. Dr. Cirelli’s research is an example f science shwing the “why” and “hw” mechanisms that underlie that wisdm.
32. What des the example f early humans shw?
A. Sleep wasn’t as imprtant as it is tday.
B. Our ancestrs had a hard time surviving.
C. Sleep is significant in the histry f humans.
D. Whever sleeps less enjys mre advantages.
33. What message des the authr seem t cnvey in paragraph 2?
A. Our memry can be kept ver a lng perid f time.
B. Our brain can be verladed with synaptic cnnectins.
C. Our brain’s neural netwrk is cnnected thrugh synapses.
D. Our new learning is based n well-established ld memries.
34. What has Dr. Cirelli’s research discvered?
A. Sleep bradens neural paths.B. Sleep carries cultural wisdm.
C. Sleep relieves synaptic burden.D. Sleep stimulates brain develpment.
35. What’s the authr’s attitude t Dr. Cirelli’s research?
A. Apprving. B. Unclear. C. Indifferent. D. Dubtful.
