Nick Trrance, a junir in high schl, suffers frm muscular dystrphy(肌肉萎缩症), and attends schl in a specialized wheelchair.

Amy initially thught they wuld be able t buy a device t help.

Like in any device develpment, it tk a lt f trial and errr fr Micah and Wyatt t make smething that wuld wrk fr their target audience. Fr example, they initially built a lcker-pening buttn, but Nick wasn’t strng enugh t push it, s they replaced it with a sensr.

Humans’ vercnsumptin(过度消费) f resurces is a leading cntributr t glbal climate change, says University f Arizna researcher Sabrina Helm. Therefre, it’s increasingly imprtant t understand the chices cnsumers make and hw thse decisins affect the health f a planet with limited resurces. In a new study, published in the jurnal Yung Cnsumers, Helm and her clleagues explre hw materialistic values influence pr-envirnmental behavirs in millennials(千禧一代), wh are nw the natin’s mst influential grup f cnsumers.
The researchers fcused n tw main categries f pr-envirnmental behavirs: reduced cnsumptin, which includes actins like repairing instead f replacing lder items; and “green buying,” r purchasing prducts designed t limit envirnmental impacts. The researchers als lked at hw engaging in pr-envirnmental behavirs affects cnsumer well-being.
Mre materialistic participants, the researchers fund, were unlikely t engage in reduced cnsumptin. Hwever, materialism did nt seem t have an effect n their likelihd f practicing “green buying.” That’s prbably because “green buying,” unlike reduced cnsumptin, still ffers a way fr materialists t fulfill their desire t get new items, Helm said.
Study participants wh reprted having fewer materialistic values were much mre likely t engage in reduced cnsumptin. Cnsuming less was, in turn, linked t higher persnal well-being and lwer psychlgical suffering. Green buying—which may have sme psitive envirnmental effects, althugh t a smaller degree than reduced cnsumptin—was nt fund t imprve cnsumer well-being, Helm said.
The take-hme message fr cnsumers: “The key is t reduce cnsumptin and nt just buy green stuff. Having less and buying less can actually make us mre satisfied and happier,” Helm said. “If yu have a lt f stuff, yu have a lt n yur mind,” she said. “Fr example, it requires maintenance and there’s a lt f burdens f wnership, and if yu relieve yurself f that burden f wnership, mst peple reprt feeling a lt better and freer.”
Helm and her clleagues additinally lked at hw materialism affects millennial cnsumers’ practive financial behavirs, such as budgeting and saving. Examining financial behavirs alngside pr-envirnmental behavirs prvides a picture f hw yung adults practively deal with resurce limitatins in tw cntexts: envirnmental and financial, Helm said.
As expected, Helm and her clleagues fund that thse wh reprted having mre materialistic values engaged in fewer practive financial behavirs than their less materialistic cunterparts(对应的人). The researchers als fund that, cnsistent with previus studies, practive financial behavirs were assciated with better persnal well-being, life satisfactin and financial satisfactin, as well as lwer psychlgical suffering.
Understanding hw materialistic values impact cnsumer behavirs, and hw thse behavirs in turn affect persnal and envirnmental well-being, is imprtant, Helm said. Hwever, she acknwledges that fr many cnsumers, shifting behavirs t be mre financially practive and cnsume less will be challenging.
27. What d we knw abut pr-envirnmental behavirs?
A. They are a cause f climate change.
B. They lead t a mre satisfying life.
C. They vary in different age grups.
D. They are affected by materialism.
28. It can be learned frm Helm’s study that ________.
A. wnership f green prducts brings a sense f happiness
B. materialists prefer practicing green buying t buying less
C. green buying helps cntrl peple’s desire t buy new items
D. buying less and green buying have similar effects n peple
29. Accrding t the study, which f the fllwing might imprve ne’s well-being?
A. Replacing lder items.B. Develping new resurces.
C. Buying greener prducts. D. Being careful with expenses.
30. What is Helm prbably ging t explain in the next paragraph?
A. When peple develp practive financial behavirs.
B. Which financial behavirs lead t mental well-being.
C. Why it is hard t change peple’s financial behavirs.
D. Hw materialistic values influence financial behavirs.

Accrding t a 2018 reprt, peple aged between 16 and 24 make up abut 15 percent f the ppulatin but nly 10 percent f museum-gers. Similarly, peple aged ver 35 g half as much as yu wuld expect frm their ppulatin size. We have reached the pint f recgnising the discnnectin between art and the audience but haven’t yet determined hw t bridge the gap. Tw answers t tackling this challenge lie in telling a greater diversity f art histries and cmmunicating these stries in mre accessible ways.
In 2018, a radi prgram called Art Matters was started with the aim f discussing art frm a pp-culture viewpint with tpics that wuld engage yunger and mre diverse audience. It ffers an accessible pathway t art histry with cnversatins n different tpics. Art histry is abut strytelling; art cntent shines when there is an effrt t bring audience alng fr the discussin.
Mre traditinal institutins are paying attentin. Recently the Getty Museum issued a scial-media challenge fr peple t recreate paintings using items they had at hme. Users displayed incredible creativity, and the museum was flded with submissins. This reactin prves that there is a ptential desire fr the audience t engage with art tpics if the frmat is appealing. Since many peple feel intimidated and think that there’s a base level f understanding required t jin the cnversatin, the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there are many pathways t engaging with it.
Anther result f the Getty challenge was the expsure given t a diversity f artwrks. The famus pera singer Peter Brathwaite, fr example, made scres f attractive recreatins highlighting centuries f black paintings. His effrts ppsed the idea that there were nt many histrical paintings f black figures. It is extremely imprtant that we d a better jb f shwing the cmplex and diverse stries that are represented in art.
Scial media have ffered a platfrm fr peple wh have nt traditinally had a seat at the table. Anyne can recgnise a gap in the field and address it. Accunts have gathered tens f thusands f fllwers. They are the prf that there is hunger t hear these art histries, and these themes wrk brilliantly fr museum prgramming.
But there is nly s much that can be dne withut the museums and galleries changing meaningfully frm within. We need t see a better balance f these stries represented in permanent cllectins. We als need a much wider diversity f peple and interests represented n bard. Ensuring that art—and writing and talking abut art—is able t cntinue n the rising generatin f strytellers, inside and utside f institutins, getting the funding and supprt they need t paint a brighter picture fr the part.
31. What challenge is the authr trying t tackle?
A. Peple dubt a great diversity f artwrks.
B. Fewer and fewer yung peple g t museums.
C. Art appears t distant frm cmmn audience.
D. Adult audience has a different understanding f art.
32. What des the underlined wrd “intimidated” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Tired. B. Wrried. C. Annyed. D. Surprised.
33. In the authr’s pinin, the museums and galleries shuld ________.
A. make the art histry stries accessible in a traditinal way
B. change meaningfully fr activities like the Getty challenge
C. limit the number f strytellers bth in and ut f institutins
D. imprve the permanent cllectins by adding famus artwrks
34. We can cnclude frm the passage that cmmn audience ________.
A. lacks the channels t understand and talk abut art histry
B. prefers t view artwrks and hear art stries n scial media
C. feels satisfied with peple and interests represented n bard
D. refuses t engage with diverse art tpics and art histry stries

Why des rain seem t make yu sleepy?
This spring n the east cast f the US, it feels like we’ve lst tuch with the sun. In Washingtn, DC, 14 f the first 17 days f May were rainy. 35 It means that, fr me, May has been ne f the mnths I’ve felt the sleepiest. The dull weather can hit almst all f ur senses in a way that gives a sign t us it is time fr a sleep.
First, there’s what we see—r rather, what we dn’t. 36 When it’s raining and skies are cludy, we miss ut n ur bdy’s internal alarm clck. As Nami, a scientist frm Central Queensland University said, when yu dn’t see the sunlight first thing in the mrning, yur bdy never gets the signal that it needs t shift int daytime mde.
37 Plants prduce ils during dry perids, pssibly t stp seeds frm develping. When it rains, the water brings ut the ils and they mix with a chemical t create a “musky” smell. 38 Additinally, after a thunderstrm there’s a chance yu may smell zne(臭氧), which is generated when lightning interacts with the air. Sme cmpare its smell t that f clean bed sheets.
Rain sunds are als cmfrting. The rhythmic pattern f rain hitting a rf, umbrella, r the grund belw is called “pink nise.” Pink nise is a categry f backgrund nise that has all f the frequencies that human can hear and has lwer vlumes at higher frequencies. Accrding t sme research, it may imprve ur quality f sleep by decreasing ur brain activity. 39
The difficulty in waking up, the fresh, earthy scents, and the peace f the rain tapping n windws are enugh t make anyne want t g back t bed fr the day. Sadly, nne f this evidence is enugh t justify ding s; but it can at least explain why yu may feel a little sleepy n these cludy days.
A. Nises can make us feel sleepier during the daytime.
B. The thers have been cludy and dull fr at least part f the day.
C. The earthy smell f rain can make yu feel calm and cmfrtable.
D. It makes it easier fr us t wake up frm ur sleep the night befre.
E. Sunlight causes ur bdies t stp prducing what makes us sleepy at night.
F. And yu’ll als smell that when yu are in yur garden turning ver yur sil.
G. Yu can listen t an hur f rain n a windw here, if yu intend t test it ut.

Nick Trrance, a junir in high schl, suffers frm muscular dystrphy(肌肉萎缩症), and attends schl in a specialized wheelchair. The muscle disease prevents him frm accmplishing many everyday tasks, such as carrying his bks and putting things away in his lcker. S he had a fellw student assigned t help him. But Amy Smith, the schl’s ccupatinal therapist(治疗师), thught that being able t d smething simple like pening his lcker n his wn wuld be empwering.
Amy initially thught they wuld be able t buy a device t help. But searching nline turned up nthing that culd meet their needs—everything needed a keycde r sme ther physical actin, things her disabled student culdn’t d. After the utside search fr a methd came up shrt, she lked within the schl itself fr an answer. Amy turned t the schl’s rbtics instructr.

They tk first place in a natinal rbtics cmpetitin, s they were a natural chice t tackle the lcker dr prblem with a rbtics slutin. Micah and Wyatt wasted n time getting dwn t wrk and fr an hur each schl day, the bys brainstrmed, built, and rebuilt varius versins f the device until they landed n the perfect slutin ne year later.
Like in any device develpment, it tk a lt f trial and errr fr Micah and Wyatt t make smething that wuld wrk fr their target audience. Fr example, they initially built a lcker-pening buttn, but Nick wasn’t strng enugh t push it, s they replaced it with a sensr.
Nw, between classes Nick steers his electric wheelchair t his lcker and waves his hand ver a sensr n the arm f the wheelchair. A few secnds later, the lcker dr swings pen. Anther wave clses the dr. Nick can make it with ease—it may be a small thing, but it gives him a sense f independence.

Humans’ vercnsumptin(过度消费) f resurces is a leading cntributr t glbal climate change, says University f Arizna researcher Sabrina Helm. Therefre, it’s increasingly imprtant t understand the chices cnsumers make and hw thse decisins affect the health f a planet with limited resurces. In a new study, published in the jurnal Yung Cnsumers, Helm and her clleagues explre hw materialistic values influence pr-envirnmental behavirs in millennials(千禧一代), wh are nw the natin’s mst influential grup f cnsumers.
The researchers fcused n tw main categries f pr-envirnmental behavirs: reduced cnsumptin, which includes actins like repairing instead f replacing lder items; and “green buying,” r purchasing prducts designed t limit envirnmental impacts. The researchers als lked at hw engaging in pr-envirnmental behavirs affects cnsumer well-being.
Mre materialistic participants, the researchers fund, were unlikely t engage in reduced cnsumptin. Hwever, materialism did nt seem t have an effect n their likelihd f practicing “green buying.” That’s prbably because “green buying,” unlike reduced cnsumptin, still ffers a way fr materialists t fulfill their desire t get new items, Helm said.
Study participants wh reprted having fewer materialistic values were much mre likely t engage in reduced cnsumptin. Cnsuming less was, in turn, linked t higher persnal well-being and lwer psychlgical suffering. Green buying—which may have sme psitive envirnmental effects, althugh t a smaller degree than reduced cnsumptin—was nt fund t imprve cnsumer well-being, Helm said.
The take-hme message fr cnsumers: “The key is t reduce cnsumptin and nt just buy green stuff. Having less and buying less can actually make us mre satisfied and happier,” Helm said. “If yu have a lt f stuff, yu have a lt n yur mind,” she said. “Fr example, it requires maintenance and there’s a lt f burdens f wnership, and if yu relieve yurself f that burden f wnership, mst peple reprt feeling a lt better and freer.”
Helm and her clleagues additinally lked at hw materialism affects millennial cnsumers’ practive financial behavirs, such as budgeting and saving. Examining financial behavirs alngside pr-envirnmental behavirs prvides a picture f hw yung adults practively deal with resurce limitatins in tw cntexts: envirnmental and financial, Helm said.
As expected, Helm and her clleagues fund that thse wh reprted having mre materialistic values engaged in fewer practive financial behavirs than their less materialistic cunterparts(对应的人). The researchers als fund that, cnsistent with previus studies, practive financial behavirs were assciated with better persnal well-being, life satisfactin and financial satisfactin, as well as lwer psychlgical suffering.
Understanding hw materialistic values impact cnsumer behavirs, and hw thse behavirs in turn affect persnal and envirnmental well-being, is imprtant, Helm said. Hwever, she acknwledges that fr many cnsumers, shifting behavirs t be mre financially practive and cnsume less will be challenging.
27. What d we knw abut pr-envirnmental behavirs?
A. They are a cause f climate change.
B. They lead t a mre satisfying life.
C. They vary in different age grups.
D. They are affected by materialism.
28. It can be learned frm Helm’s study that ________.
A. wnership f green prducts brings a sense f happiness
B. materialists prefer practicing green buying t buying less
C. green buying helps cntrl peple’s desire t buy new items
D. buying less and green buying have similar effects n peple
29. Accrding t the study, which f the fllwing might imprve ne’s well-being?
A. Replacing lder items.B. Develping new resurces.
C. Buying greener prducts. D. Being careful with expenses.
30. What is Helm prbably ging t explain in the next paragraph?
A. When peple develp practive financial behavirs.
B. Which financial behavirs lead t mental well-being.
C. Why it is hard t change peple’s financial behavirs.

Accrding t a 2018 reprt, peple aged between 16 and 24 make up abut 15 percent f the ppulatin but nly 10 percent f museum-gers. Similarly, peple aged ver 35 g half as much as yu wuld expect frm their ppulatin size. We have reached the pint f recgnising the discnnectin between art and the audience but haven’t yet determined hw t bridge the gap. Tw answers t tackling this challenge lie in telling a greater diversity f art histries and cmmunicating these stries in mre accessible ways.
In 2018, a radi prgram called Art Matters was started with the aim f discussing art frm a pp-culture viewpint with tpics that wuld engage yunger and mre diverse audience. It ffers an accessible pathway t art histry with cnversatins n different tpics. Art histry is abut strytelling; art cntent shines when there is an effrt t bring audience alng fr the discussin.
Mre traditinal institutins are paying attentin. Recently the Getty Museum issued a scial-media challenge fr peple t recreate paintings using items they had at hme. Users displayed incredible creativity, and the museum was flded with submissins. This reactin prves that there is a ptential desire fr the audience t engage with art tpics if the frmat is appealing. Since many peple feel intimidated and think that there’s a base level f understanding required t jin the cnversatin, the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there are many pathways t engaging with it.
Anther result f the Getty challenge was the expsure given t a diversity f artwrks. The famus pera singer Peter Brathwaite, fr example, made scres f attractive recreatins highlighting centuries f black paintings. His effrts ppsed the idea that there were nt many histrical paintings f black figures. It is extremely imprtant that we d a better jb f shwing the cmplex and diverse stries that are represented in art.
Scial media have ffered a platfrm fr peple wh have nt traditinally had a seat at the table. Anyne can recgnise a gap in the field and address it. Accunts have gathered tens f thusands f fllwers. They are the prf that there is hunger t hear these art histries, and these themes wrk brilliantly fr museum prgramming.
But there is nly s much that can be dne withut the museums and galleries changing meaningfully frm within. We need t see a better balance f these stries represented in permanent cllectins. We als need a much wider diversity f peple and interests represented n bard. Ensuring that art—and writing and talking abut art—is able t cntinue n the rising generatin f strytellers, inside and utside f institutins, getting the funding and supprt they need t paint a brighter picture fr the part.
31. What challenge is the authr trying t tackle?
A. Peple dubt a great diversity f artwrks.
B. Fewer and fewer yung peple g t museums.
C. Art appears t distant frm cmmn audience.
D. Adult audience has a different understanding f art.
32. What des the underlined wrd “intimidated” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Tired. B. Wrried. C. Annyed. D. Surprised.
33. In the authr’s pinin, the museums and galleries shuld ________.
A. make the art histry stries accessible in a traditinal way
B. change meaningfully fr activities like the Getty challenge
C. limit the number f strytellers bth in and ut f institutins
D. imprve the permanent cllectins by adding famus artwrks
34. We can cnclude frm the passage that cmmn audience ________.
A. lacks the channels t understand and talk abut art histry
B. prefers t view artwrks and hear art stries n scial media
C. feels satisfied with peple and interests represented n bard
D. refuses t engage with diverse art tpics and art histry stries

Why des rain seem t make yu sleepy?
This spring n the east cast f the US, it feels like we’ve lst tuch with the sun. In Washingtn, DC, 14 f the first 17 days f May were rainy. 35 It means that, fr me, May has been ne f the mnths I’ve felt the sleepiest. The dull weather can hit almst all f ur senses in a way that gives a sign t us it is time fr a sleep.
First, there’s what we see—r rather, what we dn’t. 36 When it’s raining and skies are cludy, we miss ut n ur bdy’s internal alarm clck. As Nami, a scientist frm Central Queensland University said, when yu dn’t see the sunlight first thing in the mrning, yur bdy never gets the signal that it needs t shift int daytime mde.
37 Plants prduce ils during dry perids, pssibly t stp seeds frm develping. When it rains, the water brings ut the ils and they mix with a chemical t create a “musky” smell. 38 Additinally, after a thunderstrm there’s a chance yu may smell zne(臭氧), which is generated when lightning interacts with the air. Sme cmpare its smell t that f clean bed sheets.
Rain sunds are als cmfrting. The rhythmic pattern f rain hitting a rf, umbrella, r the grund belw is called “pink nise.” Pink nise is a categry f backgrund nise that has all f the frequencies that human can hear and has lwer vlumes at higher frequencies. Accrding t sme research, it may imprve ur quality f sleep by decreasing ur brain activity. 39
The difficulty in waking up, the fresh, earthy scents, and the peace f the rain tapping n windws are enugh t make anyne want t g back t bed fr the day. Sadly, nne f this evidence is enugh t justify ding s; but it can at least explain why yu may feel a little sleepy n these cludy days.
A. Nises can make us feel sleepier during the daytime.
B. The thers have been cludy and dull fr at least part f the day.
C. The earthy smell f rain can make yu feel calm and cmfrtable.
D. It makes it easier fr us t wake up frm ur sleep the night befre.
E. Sunlight causes ur bdies t stp prducing what makes us sleepy at night.
F. And yu’ll als smell that when yu are in yur garden turning ver yur sil.
G. Yu can listen t an hur f rain n a windw here, if yu intend t test it ut.
