Ocha graduated frm San Dieg State University in 1980 with a degree in Physics. Mindful f her mther’s stress n the imprtance f educatin, she entered graduate schl at Stanfrd University. When Neil Armstrng had first walked n the mn, Ocha was 11 years ld. It never wuld have hit her then that she t might smeday becme an astrnaut. Hwever, in 1983, when Ocha was n the way t earning her PhD in Electrical Engineering, Sally Ride became the first female U. S. astrnaut. This gave Ocha the encuragement t aim high. Upn graduatin, she applied t NASA t becme an astrnaut herself.
At Stanfrd, Ocha specialized in designing ptical (光学) systems that study the bjects that they “see”. After graduating, she cntinued this wrk at Sandia Natinal Labratry in Albuquerque, New Mexic. Sandia’s wrk fr NASA includes develping ptical, cmputerized recrdings and mdels f events and phenmena (现象) in space. In time, Ocha became the c-inventr f three ptical devices. Later, wrking at NASA’s Ames Research Center, Ocha branched ff int develping cmputer systems designed fr space explratin. Here she als managed a team f 35scientists.
Ocha’s excellence in ptics and cmputer hardware had caught NASA’s attentin. In 1990, NASA accepted her int its astrnaut training prgram, and in July 1991, Ocha became an fficial U. S. astrnaut. Less than tw years later, Ocha flew as a Missin Specialist n a Discvery Space Shuttle Missin.
Ellen Ocha has wn numerus awards fr her success as an engineer, an astrnaut, and a rle mdel– nt just fr Hispanic r female ambitius scientists, but fr anyne wh believes that excellence will finally find its recgnitin and reward.

When yu’re bred, what d yu d? The answer is a n-brainer: yu reach fr yur phne. Five minutes f dggy pictures can seem like the perfect break. But a new unpublished study has bad news. Reaching fr yur phne is likely t leave yu feeling mre bred.
T figure ut the relatinship between phnes and bredm, the research team set up an app n the phnes f 83 vlunteers t keep an eye n hw ften they used their devices. They als asked these vlunteers t keep detailed diaries at wrk, recrding their level f tiredness and bredm.
The researchers’ first discvery was n shcker. We’re n ur phnes a lt. Phne breaks were very frequent: in the 20 minutes fllwing each questinnaire, vlunteers picked up their phne 52percent f the time, spending an average f arund 90 secnds n it each time. Equally unsurprising was the secnd finding: the mre tired we are, the mre likely we are t reach fr ur phnes. The real kicker was the final finding. While we lk t ur phnes t relieve ur tiredness and bredm, screen time actually seemed t increase feelings f bredm.
The research team thught abut the different reasns why this might be s. Shifting frm wrk t yur phne and back again may end up being mre tiring in mind than it is stimulating (提神的).In ther wrds, that baby gat vide was nice, but nt wrth the cst t yur brain in effrt and cncentratin. Besides, picking up yur phne might just serve as a reminder f all the fun and interesting things ut there yu culd be ding if yu didn’t have t fill ut paperwrk.
This ne small study can’t clearly say if either f these explanatins is right, but the basic takeaway is pretty clear: A quick lk at yur phne is ging t make yur brain feel even mre fried. If s, what t d instead?
28. Why did the research team set up an app n the vlunteers’ phnes?
A. T ensure their rest time.B. T remve their bredm.
C. T track their phne usage.D. T recrd their tiredness.
29. What d the underlined wrds “the real kicker” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. The mst unexpected.B. The mst advanced.
C. The mst frequent.D. The mst relieving.
30. The baby gat vide is mentined in paragraph 4 t shw ________.
A. phnes can be tiringB. phnes can be inspiring
C. phnes can functin as a reminderD. phnes can benefit ur paperwrk
31. What might the authr cntinue talking abut?
A. Why screen time is harmful.B. Hw t take a better break.
C. Recmmended nline activities.D. Studies n phne addictin.

Fr lng, Preifer Fall Trail (路线) was a mst ppular attractin in Big Sur. Annually, thusands f peple hiked the trail. Unfrtunately, the trail, alng with stairs, signs, railings, an bservatin statin and wden bridges, was destryed in the 2008 Basin Cmplex Fire. But nw a new trail has risen frm the burned land.
With its amazing rcky castline and muntains, Big Sur, the writer Henry Miller nce said, is “the face f the earth as the creatr intended it t lk.” But the landscape always suffers natural disasters. There have been three majr wildfires in Big Sur in the past years. “Yu can still see the impacts there,” said Jhn Hiles, a state parks repair team leader, pinting t black marks 30 feet up a huge redwd.
Parks planners designed a new track, mving the trail ut f the river t reduce its impact n the envirnment. Peple frm the Califrnia prtectin grup, state parks department and the nnprfit rganizatin put in 66,000 hurs f wrk ver the past fur years. They built 160 redwd stairs and dragged hundreds f 16-ft-lng redwd sticks by hand t build railings. They remved 4,150 square feet f ld building stuff, enugh t cver a basketball curt. They used irn cables and pulleys (缆线和滑轮) t build a 70-ft lng wden bridge ver the hills.“Nature is prbably the best place t learn,” Hiles said. “Mre than any cllege r schl, yu learn s many life lessns ut here.”
Hwever, the huge Sberanes Fire s wept thrugh the area in 2016, putting a stp t the wrk. When they began again in 2017, great river strms flded the area and damaged part f Highway 1. Everybdy gathered arund this prject. They saw the lss. They missed it. They wanted it t cme back. They kept cmbining effrts. It’s been a lng jurney, but wrth the wait.
32. What can we learn abut Preifer Fall Trail?
A. It is an attractin rebuilt in 2008.B. It met with many natural disasters.
C. It features man-made landscape.D. It is an additin t a previus track.

C. By recycling the ld building stuff.D. By applying irn cables and pulleys.
34. What can best describe the peple’s wrk?

C. Mysterius and attractive.D. Tugh but rewarding.
35. What is the text mainly abut?
