Earlier this year I tk a trip t England and France t see sme friends. It was a wnderful trip; I really lved it. But ne thing that struck me was hw different these cultures are frm ur wn. I guess this wuld strike any traveler because that is the first thing yu ntice and it is what makes travel s exciting. Of curse, these cultures are als similar t urs in many ways, but it’s the differences that really stand ut.
One f the things that struck me in particular was the different attitudes twards smking. As yu knw, there’s a grwing anti-smking sentiment in Eurpe. Hwever, when I went t England and France, I gt a new perspective n this issue. Peple seem t smke anywhere and everywhere, even thugh anti-smking signs are all ver public places. On the radi, I heard abut a member f the Wrld Cup sccer team wh smked. And peple were actually saying, “Well, he shuld nt be n the team because he’s a bad example fr ur children.” I think, if they want t lk at bad examples fr their children, they shuld just g ut n the street, r g int the subways, r lk in the mirrr, even, because s many f them are smking in very inapprpriate places. I visited a restaurant buffet in Lndn and saw an English wman scping up the fd with a lit cigarette in her hand. Smke rising int the air. Actually, when I talked t English peple later, they were pretty shcked t, and they said that smking in a restaurant is rude even by British standards.
This did nt give me a bad impressin f English peple. It gave me, n the cntrary, a psitive feeling tward American smkers. There are a lt f American smkers wh will claim their right t smke whenever they want, but they will fllw the rules, generally, because they have cnsideratin fr nnsmkers. S this experience in Eurpe gave me mre f a respect fr this kind f smker.
24. What surprised the writer during his trip t England and France?
A. Grwing anti-smking views in Eurpe.
B. The wnderful trip t England and France.
C. Cultural differences that he nticed during his trip.
D. Similarity between cultures stands ut mre than differences.
25. What did the speaker find in England and France abut the smking issue?
A. Peple discuss the smking issue n the radi.
B. Smkers are allwed t smke anywhere and anytime.
C. Peple are encuraged t smke in inapprpriate places.
D. Many smkers pay n attentin t the “N Smking” signs.
26. The wrd “sentiment” in the secnd paragraph means ________.
A. feeling B. mvement
C. ffense D. regulatin
27. What kind f smkers des the speaker respect?
A. Thse wh respect thers’ feelings.
B. Thse wh defend the right t smke.
C. Thse wh are frm America and Eurpe.
D. Thse wh set rules f smking in public places.

A new research led by University f Pittsburgh psychlgists shws that lder adults may be able t prevent declines（衰退）in a certain kind f memry by sticking t regular exercise.
Frm the study, exercising abut three times a week fr at least fur mnths is hw much peple need t btain the benefits in episdic memry. Episdic memry, which is supprted by a part f the brain that’s knwn t benefit frm exercise, is the kind that deals with events that happened t yu in the past. It’s als ne f the first t decline with age.
Exercise that gets the heart pumping has shwn prmise in increasing brain health, and experiments in mice shw that it imprves memry—but studies lking at the same link in humans have cme ut mixed.
During the research, the team read 1,279 studies carefully, eventually narrwing them dwn t just 36 that met specific criteria （标准）. Then they used specialized sftware and n small number f Excel spreadsheets t transfrm the data int a frm where the different studies culd be directly cmpared. That wrk paid ff when they fund that pling tgether thse 36 studies was enugh t shw that fr lder adults, exercise can indeed benefit their memry.
Past analyses lking at cnnectins between exercise and memry didn’t find ne, but the team tk several extra steps t give them the best chance f finding a link if ne did exist. They limited their search t particular grups and age ranges as well as a specific kind f strict experimental setup. Anther key was fcusing specifically n episdic memry.
With that much larger pl f participants, the team was able t shw a link between exercise and episdic memry. The team als fund the greatest effects f exercise in thse wh hadn’t yet experienced any cgnitive（认知的）decline.

Where d great musicians, great mathematicians and great sprtspeple get their talent? Fr decades nw, we have assumed that mst f them are simply brn with a talent that rdinary peple d nt have. When baseball legend Ted Williams claimed that his achievement had nthing t d with natural ability but were the result f practice, practice, peple assumed that he was merely being mdest. But scientists nw believe that there was a gd deal f truth in what he said.
Thrughut the last century, it was accepted that we inherit（继承）many f ur characteristics frm ur parents via their DNA, that each f us inherits a fixed amunt f intelligence-a fixed IQ, and that mst f us are t be rdinary. But nw it is accepted that ur genes interact with their surrundings, getting turned n and ff all the time. “There are n genetic factrs that can be studied independently f the envirnment,” explains Michael Meaney f McGill University. “And there are n envirnmental factrs that functin independently f ur genes. They wrk alngside each ther.”
Hw des this view f the rle f genes change ur understanding f individual talent and abilities? Des it nw mean that genes dn’t matter, and that we all have the ptential t be like, say, Linel Messi r Lebrn James? Such a claim flies in the face f reasn. The genes we inherit clearly matter, as d genetic differences between individuals. But it is als true that Linel Messi wuld nt have becme the super ftballer he is, nr Lebrn James a basketball superstar, withut putting in thusands f hurs f practice. They culd have turned ut entirely different peple. Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are nt necessarily brn much smarter than thers but genes d cunt,” he writes in his bk Talented Teenagers, “and abve all they usually wrk harder and develp mre self-discipline.”
32. What did Ted Williams think led t his success?
A. His natural talent. B. His full cmmitment.
C. His mdest persnality. D. His extrardinary intelligence.
33. What did we widely believe during the 20th century?
A. Intelligence has little t d with DNA.
B. Our genes interact with ur envirnment.
C. The majrity f us are f average intelligence.
D. Our character is simply decided by inherited DNA.
34. Why des the authr mentin “Linel Messi” and “Lebrn James” in paragraph 3?
A. T clarify a pint. B. T illustrate a rule.
C. T ffer a slutin. D. T make a predictin.
35. Which statement will Kevin Rathunde prbably agree with?
A. Mst f us are brn t be average persns.
B. We culd all be geniuses if wrking hard enugh.
C. Genetic factrs are mre imprtant than hard wrk.
D. Great talent is a cmbinatin f genes and practice.
