Jining Christine’s basketball team was my latest effrt t be like her.
On the way t the gym, I’d made up my mind t give my best perfrmance in that day’s game. I made preparatins with great enthusiasm. “Christine, here!” I tssed her a ball. But it was t high, she leapt fr it, it slipped thrugh her fingers and crashed int the tape recrder that was used t play the natinal anthem befre each game.
I muttered aplgies as I picked up the brken pieces f the recrder. Cach lked at the mess and asked, “Hw are we ging t play the sng nw?”
Christine suggested, “Let Katie sing it! She’s always singing at hme.”
Cach asked. “Wuld yu?” I fund myself ndding.
Cach annunced the natinal anthem and everyne std. Standing befre a micrphne, I lked up t the flag. The ntes seemed t flw frm deep inside me, and my vice was steady and clear. When I finished, the gym was silent. Then it was filled with applause. As the game started. teammates patted my back and gave me the “thumbs up” sign.

Scientists have discvered hw plants manage t live alngside each ther in places that are dark and shady. Plants in the deep darkness f a thick frest, where natural supplies are nt very great in amunt, wn’t attempt t tp their neighbrs in grwth as thse in mderate (中度的) shade d. In deep shade cnditins, it wuld be a waste f energy and harmful t survival because green shts wuld never be able t tp their larger neighbrs in grwth.
S hw d plants prevent such grwth in deep shade cnditins? The arcanum lies in the clcks inside them, say scientists frm the Jhn Innes Centre and the University f Bristl.
They have discvered that when plants ntice deep shade, this changes the expressin f genes in certain parts f the circadian clck (昼夜节律时钟) — the internal daily timer fund in plants and ther living things. These clck cmpnents perfrm an additinal rle in preventing plants frm lengthening and vertpping neighbrs.
The wrk identifies a previusly unknwn rle f the circadian clck in cntrlling plant develpment, and the findings may have pssible effects n bth natural plant ppulatins and crps. Prfessr Antny Ddd f the Jhn Innes Centre said, “The bilgical clck f plants plays a big part in their develpment and fitness. This wrk casts new light n a new rle f the circadian clck in adapting plants t cmpetitin with ther plants in their envirnments.” “It als gives us new insights int hw plants adapt t very deep shade, where resurces are very limited,” said Prfessr Kerry Franklin at the University f Bristl.
This wrk prvides evidence fr the stability f the circadian clck in stressful envirnments, and infrmatin that may be useful in develping new generatins f crps in a challenging climate.
28．What d plants nrmally d in mderate shade?
A．Struggle t preserve energy.B．Cmpete fr limited resurces.
C．Depend n each ther t survive.D．Try t utgrw their neighbrs.
29．What des the underlined wrd “arcanum” mean?
A．Secret.B．Nte.C．Grammar.D．Award.
30．Hw des the circadian clck affect plants?
A．It changes their gene expressin.B．It makes them realize light change.
C．It cntrls their grwth in deep shade.D．It helps them adapt t the darkness.
31．Why des the authr write the text?
A．T intrduce the rle f the deep shade.
B．T share a new discvery abut plants.
C．T explain plants’ secret f living in the water.
D．T cmpare plants living in certain cnditins.

Yu’re in the shwer. Yu grab the shwerhead. What d yu d? Yu sing.
Have yu ever wndered abut this phenmenn? Sme f us wuldn’t sing in public if smene paid us. Yet we’ll sing in the shwer withut embarrassment. Believe it r nt, there’s a scientific explanatin behind it.
First, let’s lk at why we’re relaxed enugh in the shwer t burst int sng. Think abut it: yu dn’t sing when yu’re sad (unless yu’re singing the blues, f curse). Fr many peple, shwer time is the nly time they’re alne all day. Yu’re in a warm, small, safe envirnment. Yu’re cmfrtable enugh t be yurself! When yu relax, yur brain releases dpamine (多巴胺), which can give yur creative juices an extra kickstart.
Warm water is rushing ver yu, and nw yu’re relaxed and feeling gd. It turns ut that singing makes yu feel even better. Singing, because f the breathing yu put int it, gets mre xygen int the bld. This gives yu better circulatin, which in turn imprves yur bdy and md. And because yu have t breathe a little deeper t belt ut a sng, yu get sme f the same relaxatin and mind-clearing benefits as meditatin (冥想). Anther neat thing is that when yu’re singing, yu really can’t think abut yur prblems—mre stress relief.
But the best thing abut singing in the shwer? The acustics (音响效果)! Yu can never ask fr a better sund system than a bathrm. Because bathrm tiles (墙砖) dn’t absrb sund, yur vice bunces back and frth arund the rm befre fading away, which makes yur vice hang in the air lnger. And because the shwer is a small space, it bsts yur vice, making yur singing sund mre pwerful. S yu will sund better than yu actually are, which is a cnfidence bst.
We dn’t sing in the shwer simply because we have “Call Me Maybe” stuck in ur heads. It turns ut we d it fr many reasns: stress relief, happiness, great acustics, r maybe just because we like t hear ur wn vices. Whatever the reasn, keep it up. It’s gd fr yu. And if yu’ve never tried it, pick a sng, grab the shwerhead and put n yur wn private cncert.
32．Why d many peple feel cmfrtable singing in the shwer?
A．The acustics are perfect in public places.B．Shwer time is relaxing and private.
C．Singing bsts stress levels.D．Shwering imprves vcal abilities.
33．What scientific effect cntributes t the urge t sing in the shwer?
A．Released dpamine due t relaxatin.B．Increased expsure t blues music.
C．Enhanced xygen absrptin frm water.D．Strengthened lung capacity.
34．Why des singing in the shwer help in relieving stress?
A．The bathrm’s small size encurages relaxatin.
B．Breathing while singing imprves circulatin.
C．Singing remves the need fr deep breaths.
D．Tile walls absrb sund and stress.
35．In which part f a website can we prbably read the text?
A．Science.B．Technlgy.C．Culture.D．Peple.

Jining Christine’s basketball team was my latest effrt t be like her.
On the way t the gym, I’d made up my mind t give my best perfrmance in that day’s game. I made preparatins with great enthusiasm. “Christine, here!” I tssed her a ball. But it was t high, she leapt fr it, it slipped thrugh her fingers and crashed int the tape recrder that was used t play the natinal anthem befre each game.
I muttered aplgies as I picked up the brken pieces f the recrder. Cach lked at the mess and asked, “Hw are we ging t play the sng nw?”
Christine suggested, “Let Katie sing it! She’s always singing at hme.”
Cach asked. “Wuld yu?” I fund myself ndding.
Cach annunced the natinal anthem and everyne std. Standing befre a micrphne, I lked up t the flag. The ntes seemed t flw frm deep inside me, and my vice was steady and clear. When I finished, the gym was silent. Then it was filled with applause. As the game started. teammates patted my back and gave me the “thumbs up” sign. Laura Jamisn said. “Yu shuld try ut fr the schl musical!” I Ndded and said that I might.
The next mrning Hillary Barnes stpped me in the hallway and asked, “Are yu the twin wh sings?”

Scientists have discvered hw plants manage t live alngside each ther in places that are dark and shady. Plants in the deep darkness f a thick frest, where natural supplies are nt very great in amunt, wn’t attempt t tp their neighbrs in grwth as thse in mderate (中度的) shade d. In deep shade cnditins, it wuld be a waste f energy and harmful t survival because green shts wuld never be able t tp their larger neighbrs in grwth.
S hw d plants prevent such grwth in deep shade cnditins? The arcanum lies in the clcks inside them, say scientists frm the Jhn Innes Centre and the University f Bristl.
They have discvered that when plants ntice deep shade, this changes the expressin f genes in certain parts f the circadian clck (昼夜节律时钟) — the internal daily timer fund in plants and ther living things. These clck cmpnents perfrm an additinal rle in preventing plants frm lengthening and vertpping neighbrs.
The wrk identifies a previusly unknwn rle f the circadian clck in cntrlling plant develpment, and the findings may have pssible effects n bth natural plant ppulatins and crps. Prfessr Antny Ddd f the Jhn Innes Centre said, “The bilgical clck f plants plays a big part in their develpment and fitness. This wrk casts new light n a new rle f the circadian clck in adapting plants t cmpetitin with ther plants in their envirnments.” “It als gives us new insights int hw plants adapt t very deep shade, where resurces are very limited,” said Prfessr Kerry Franklin at the University f Bristl.
This wrk prvides evidence fr the stability f the circadian clck in stressful envirnments, and infrmatin that may be useful in develping new generatins f crps in a challenging climate.
28．What d plants nrmally d in mderate shade?
A．Struggle t preserve energy.B．Cmpete fr limited resurces.
C．Depend n each ther t survive.D．Try t utgrw their neighbrs.
29．What des the underlined wrd “arcanum” mean?
A．Secret.B．Nte.C．Grammar.D．Award.
30．Hw des the circadian clck affect plants?
A．It changes their gene expressin.B．It makes them realize light change.
C．It cntrls their grwth in deep shade.D．It helps them adapt t the darkness.
31．Why des the authr write the text?
A．T intrduce the rle f the deep shade.
B．T share a new discvery abut plants.
C．T explain plants’ secret f living in the water.
D．T cmpare plants living in certain cnditins.

Yu’re in the shwer. Yu grab the shwerhead. What d yu d? Yu sing.
Have yu ever wndered abut this phenmenn? Sme f us wuldn’t sing in public if smene paid us. Yet we’ll sing in the shwer withut embarrassment. Believe it r nt, there’s a scientific explanatin behind it.
First, let’s lk at why we’re relaxed enugh in the shwer t burst int sng. Think abut it: yu dn’t sing when yu’re sad (unless yu’re singing the blues, f curse). Fr many peple, shwer time is the nly time they’re alne all day. Yu’re in a warm, small, safe envirnment. Yu’re cmfrtable enugh t be yurself! When yu relax, yur brain releases dpamine (多巴胺), which can give yur creative juices an extra kickstart.
Warm water is rushing ver yu, and nw yu’re relaxed and feeling gd. It turns ut that singing makes yu feel even better. Singing, because f the breathing yu put int it, gets mre xygen int the bld. This gives yu better circulatin, which in turn imprves yur bdy and md. And because yu have t breathe a little deeper t belt ut a sng, yu get sme f the same relaxatin and mind-clearing benefits as meditatin (冥想). Anther neat thing is that when yu’re singing, yu really can’t think abut yur prblems—mre stress relief.
But the best thing abut singing in the shwer? The acustics (音响效果)! Yu can never ask fr a better sund system than a bathrm. Because bathrm tiles (墙砖) dn’t absrb sund, yur vice bunces back and frth arund the rm befre fading away, which makes yur vice hang in the air lnger. And because the shwer is a small space, it bsts yur vice, making yur singing sund mre pwerful. S yu will sund better than yu actually are, which is a cnfidence bst.
We dn’t sing in the shwer simply because we have “Call Me Maybe” stuck in ur heads. It turns ut we d it fr many reasns: stress relief, happiness, great acustics, r maybe just because we like t hear ur wn vices. Whatever the reasn, keep it up. It’s gd fr yu. And if yu’ve never tried it, pick a sng, grab the shwerhead and put n yur wn private cncert.
32．Why d many peple feel cmfrtable singing in the shwer?
A．The acustics are perfect in public places.B．Shwer time is relaxing and private.
C．Singing bsts stress levels.D．Shwering imprves vcal abilities.
33．What scientific effect cntributes t the urge t sing in the shwer?
A．Released dpamine due t relaxatin.B．Increased expsure t blues music.
C．Enhanced xygen absrptin frm water.D．Strengthened lung capacity.
34．Why des singing in the shwer help in relieving stress?
A．The bathrm’s small size encurages relaxatin.
B．Breathing while singing imprves circulatin.
C．Singing remves the need fr deep breaths.
D．Tile walls absrb sund and stress.
35．In which part f a website can we prbably read the text?
A．Science.B．Technlgy.C．Culture.D．Peple.
