When my editrs asked me t reprt n frest bathing, I packed a swimsuit. I assumed it must invlve getting in the water. It turns ut, my interpretatin was t literal.
I met certified Frest Therapy guide Melanie Chukas-Bradley at an urban frest in Washingtn, D.C. Here, I began t get it. Frest bathing isn't a bath r a hike. We did walk the frest trails, but we wandered with n particular destinatin in mind,
The aim f frest bathing, Chukas-Bradley explained, is t slw dwn and thrw neself in the natural envirnment. She helped us be aware f the smells, tastes and sights f the frest. We tk in ur surrundings by using all ur senses. As we passed thrugh a stand f trees, we tuched the trunks. We smelled the black walnuts, which give ff a lvely fragrance. We gt a little shwer f ripe mulberries, t. "Clse yur eyes and just breathe." Chukas-Bradley tld us. After I pened my eyes, the green lked a lt greener. And I began t see things I hadn't nticed befre.
"A frest guide helps us be here, nt there," says Ams Cliffrd, the funder f the Assciatin f Nature & Frest Therapy, the rganizatin that certifies the guides. They supprt what the frests culd ffer us, inviting us int practices that deepen physical presence, pleasure, and partnership with nature. When we cnnect with nature in this way, we are cnnecting with urselves.
Cliffrd's gal is t encurage health care prviders t integrate frest therapy as a stress-reductin strategy. In the United States, wrk-related stress accunts fr up t $190 billin in health care csts each year.

It's cmmnly acknwledged that ur lives are ruled by algrithms（算法）, but have we really cllectively understd hw they have transfrmed ur culture and persnality?
In Filterwrld: Hw algrithms flattened culture, Kyle Chayka argues cnvincingly that the rise f algrithm-driven feeds, used everywhere nline frm Instagram t Sptify, has led t a mre unifrm culture. Our tastes and desires increasingly dn't belng t us, but t algrithms that are designed t keep peple engaged at all csts. If the cllectin f ur tastes truly shapes ur entire persnality, then this lss is mre psychlgically damaging than it first appears. Aimlessly scrlling（滚屏）thrugh Netflix r TikTk may seem harmless, but ver days, mnths r years, we lse tuch with what we like and enjy.
Taste-making algrithms are inescapable. Chayka shws this by wrking thrugh all crners f life: what we wear（TikTk）, where we eat（Ggle Maps）, music we listen t（Sptify）, even wh we date r marry（Tinder）. This universe f algrithm-driven decisins has sciety-wide implicatins: "It extends t influence ur physical spaces, ur cities, and the rutes we mve them in turn," N ne gets ut f the Filterwrld untuched.
If yu're lucky enugh nt t need any srt f algrithm-based system fr yur wrk, then yu have the ptin t step back frm algrithms fr a while. But if yur friend suggests a film recmmended n X/Twitter r yu feel the need t buy thse shes suddenly everyne has started wearing after scial media advertisements, what are yu t d? It all feels fruitless.
This Filterwrld may be inescapable, but there is hpe. Yu can start by engaging mre with the media yu d chse t cnsume. This culd mean reading up abut a film yu watched r paying artists yu like directly. Even the thughtful act f recmmending an album t a friend is mre rewarding than a randm TikTk feed. As Chayka says, resistance t algrithms "requires an act f willpwer, a chice t mve thrugh the wrld in a different way."
28. What is Kyle Chayka's pinin n algrithms?
A. They imprve ur tastes.
B. They make ur culture mre alike.
C. They help t identify ur persnality.
D. They cntribute t psychlgical prblems
29. What des the underlined part in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. The sciety with advanced technlgy.
B. The wrld withut scial media platfrms.
C. The netwrk f algrithm-driven decisins.
D. The cmmunity free frm algrithmic influence.
30. Which f the fllwing is a way t resist the impact f algrithms?
A. Limiting the use f scial media platfrms.
B. Making chices based n friends' suggestins.
C. Getting mre invlved with the selected media.
D. Discnnecting frm scial media advertisements.
31. What is the best title fr the text?

Sme languages are rapid-fire and thers mre unhurried—but there is n difference in the speed at which infrmatin is shared, accrding t the new research
The wrld's 7000 r s languages differ greatly nt nly in their range f available phnemes—the units f sund that make up speech, but als in the pace at which these building blcks are thrwn tgether in speech. But the new research int the infrmatin cntent in speech shws that languages allw their speakers t cmmunicate abut the same amunt f infrmatin per secnd despite wide variatins in the speed f speech.
T understand this better, researchers led by Christphe Cupe frm the University f Lyn and Yn Oh frm the University f Canterbury studied recrdings f 170 native adult speakers f 17 Eurpean and Asian languages. Each speaker read a set f standardized texts cntaining abut 240,000 syllables（音节）. The researchers fund that the fastest language hit 9.1 syllables per secnd, and the slwest a mere 4.3. But this was cancelled ut by the amunt f infrmatin, measured in bits, that each syllable cntained. This varied significantly, frm 4.8 bits per syllable fr Basque t 8.0 bits per syllable fr Vietnamese.
The study fund languages that pack a lt f infrmatin int sunds and syllables tend t be spken mre slwly, while thse with a lw infrmatin density are delivered mre rapidly. While speech rate and infrmatin density fluctuate（波动）widely, the infrmatin rate—the speed at which infrmatin is delivered—stays cnsistently arund 39.15 bits per secnd.
The researchers say this appears t represent an ptimal（最佳的）rate fr giving and receiving infrmatin. Languages seem t stably inhabit an ptimal range f infrmatin rates, away frm the extremes that can still be available t individual speakers. Of curse, nt everybdy speaks at the ptimal infrmatin rate. We all knw peple wh talk t quickly r slwly, and the new research may cast light n why we find listening t them hard wrk.
32. What has the new research fund ut?
A. Languages tend t cnvey infrmatin with similar efficiency.
B. Languages have nearly the same range f available phnemes.
C. The speed f speech is determined by the infrmatin cntent.
D. The number f languages has gradually decreased t abut 7000.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. A brief intrductin f the research prcess.
B. Supprting evidence fr the research results.
C. Ptential applicatin f the research findings.
D. A further explanatin f the research methds.
34. What can we learn frm the finding f Christphe's study?
A. Mre wrds in speech cnvey mre infrmatin.
B. The infrmatin rate remains at a reasnable level.
C. The speech rate can affect the infrmatin density.
D. Languages with mre syllables are delivered faster.
35. What can be inferred abut the ptimal infrmatin rate?
A. It can lead t smth cmmunicatin.
B. It stays the same fr individual speakers.
C. It may result in the difficulty f listening.
D. It prevents speakers frm ging t extremes.

I'm Tia, a passinate teenage girl, living next dr t the crner f 71st Street. It's my crner. Mst flks find there's nthing there, just an empty lt. But t me, it’s like a wide-pen treasure bx. Stepping int it, I feel like leaping int a sea f green. The tall grass, prbably just weeds, with butterflies gathering arund, smells clean and fresh, and I wnder why I'm the nly ne wh's thankful fr this place.
One evening, Mama said, "Tia, the city wants t turn that cmer f yurs int a parking lt." I stpped in my tracks. "N! They can't d that!"
"Tia, yu have t make them see what yu see. Make sme nise abut it. N ne ever gt any place by sitting back and staying quiet." That night, I lay awake thinking fr a lng time. "I've gt t d smething."
Early the next mrning I dragged a chair dwn t the crner with a big cardbard n which I'd painted "N Parking Lt! Save Our Nature" in large letters. I sat dwn and waited. Mst peple passed by, paying n attentin t me. My friend Tanya asked me what I was ding, and I tld her. Then came Mrs. DiRisi, a beauty shp wner, wh angrily waved her hand at my sign, saying. "My custmers need a place t park. Yu g hme, little girl." But I didn't mve. Then I nticed a wman dwn the street taking pictures f my crner. She walked ver t me, smiling, "I'm Sara Bennett. Can I talk t yu?" I ndded. I knew I needed t make sme nise. I started talking, and Ms. Bennett scribbled n a ntepad. "A walking path wuld be nice, maybe a vegetable garden. And a bench, s peple culd sit dwn and listen t the birds singing." I was surprised at myself, at hw many ideas I'd gt fr this crner.
The next mrning, my brther burst int my rm with a mrning paper. "Fighting fr Nature n the Crner f 71st" was the title f the article, and alng with it was a picture f me!

A Week in the Wild
Last week, I, tgether with 30 ther students, went t Yunnan and tk part in the Wildlife Prtectin Winter Camp held by WWF.
We spent ne week in the wild rain frests learning abut endangered animals frm wildlife prfessinals. We bserved hw different species f mnkeys adapted themselves t their natural habitats. Plus, varius activities t help prtect them have been rganized, such as picking up plastics, remving nets and traps and putting up psters. We were amazed by the tireless effrts that the lcals were making.
The camp nt nly raised ur envirnmental awareness, but als deepened ur understanding f wildlife prtectin. Only when we learn t exist in harmny with nature can we enjy a better future tgether.

One pssible versin:
T my amazement, I saw sme familiar figures cming twards us. Mrs. DiRisi led the way, accmpanied by Tanya and a grwing crwd f neighbrs, all carrying signs and expressing their supprt. Even Sara Bennett returned, camera in hand, ready t dcument the lively grup. As the cmmunity came tgether fr this cause, Mama gave me a nudge t speak. Stepping frward, I shared ur visin, simple yet heartfelt. "Tgether, we can turn this empty space int a place f beauty and jy fr everyne." The crwd's reactin was incredible, cheers and applause filling the air, witnessing ur great willingness and cllective effrts t make a difference.
A year later; the sign n the crner made it fficial. The breadbard std prudly, updated with "Nature's Crner: A Cmmunity Garden and Walking Path", marking the transfrmatin f the empty lt int a vibrant green space. The tall grass had been replaced by a variety f flwers and vegetables, tended t by vlunteers frm all walks f life. A wden bench verlked the garden, inviting passersby t rest and enjy the sights and sunds f nature. Children played in the newly paved walking path, and birds sang frm the trees that had been planted alng its edges. The crner had becme a symbl f unity and perseverance, and 1, Tia, culdn't have been pruder t have played a small part in its rebirth.A Week in the Wild

Taste-making algrithms are inescapable. Chayka shws this by wrking thrugh all crners f life: what we wear（TikTk）, where we eat（Ggle Maps）, music we listen t（Sptify）, even wh we date r marry（Tinder）. This universe f algrithm-driven decisins has sciety-wide implicatins: "It extends t influence ur physical spaces, ur cities, and the rutes we mve them in turn," N ne gets ut f the Filterwrld untuched.
If yu're lucky enugh nt t need any srt f algrithm-based system fr yur wrk, then yu have the ptin t step back frm algrithms fr a while. But if yur friend suggests a film recmmended n X/Twitter r yu feel the need t buy thse shes suddenly everyne has started wearing after scial media advertisements, what are yu t d? It all feels fruitless.
This Filterwrld may be inescapable, but there is hpe. Yu can start by engaging mre with the media yu d chse t cnsume. This culd mean reading up abut a film yu watched r paying artists yu like directly. Even the thughtful act f recmmending an album t a friend is mre rewarding than a randm TikTk feed. As Chayka says, resistance t algrithms "requires an act f willpwer, a chice t mve thrugh the wrld in a different way."

Sme languages are rapid-fire and thers mre unhurried—but there is n difference in the speed at which infrmatin is shared, accrding t the new research
The wrld's 7000 r s languages differ greatly nt nly in their range f available phnemes—the units f sund that make up speech, but als in the pace at which these building blcks are thrwn tgether in speech. But the new research int the infrmatin cntent in speech shws that languages allw their speakers t cmmunicate abut the same amunt f infrmatin per secnd despite wide variatins in the speed f speech.
T understand this better, researchers led by Christphe Cupe frm the University f Lyn and Yn Oh frm the University f Canterbury studied recrdings f 170 native adult speakers f 17 Eurpean and Asian languages. Each speaker read a set f standardized texts cntaining abut 240,000 syllables（音节）. The researchers fund that the fastest language hit 9.1 syllables per secnd, and the slwest a mere 4.3. But this was cancelled ut by the amunt f infrmatin, measured in bits, that each syllable cntained. This varied significantly, frm 4.8 bits per syllable fr Basque t 8.0 bits per syllable fr Vietnamese.
The study fund languages that pack a lt f infrmatin int sunds and syllables tend t be spken mre slwly, while thse with a lw infrmatin density are delivered mre rapidly. While speech rate and infrmatin density fluctuate（波动）widely, the infrmatin rate—the speed at which infrmatin is delivered—stays cnsistently arund 39.15 bits per secnd.
The researchers say this appears t represent an ptimal（最佳的）rate fr giving and receiving infrmatin. Languages seem t stably inhabit an ptimal range f infrmatin rates, away frm the extremes that can still be available t individual speakers. Of curse, nt everybdy speaks at the ptimal infrmatin rate. We all knw peple wh talk t quickly r slwly, and the new research may cast light n why we find listening t them hard wrk.
32. What has the new research fund ut?
A. Languages tend t cnvey infrmatin with similar efficiency.
B. Languages have nearly the same range f available phnemes.
C. The speed f speech is determined by the infrmatin cntent.
D. The number f languages has gradually decreased t abut 7000.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. A brief intrductin f the research prcess.
B. Supprting evidence fr the research results.
C. Ptential applicatin f the research findings.
D. A further explanatin f the research methds.
34. What can we learn frm the finding f Christphe's study?
A. Mre wrds in speech cnvey mre infrmatin.
B. The infrmatin rate remains at a reasnable level.
C. The speech rate can affect the infrmatin density.
D. Languages with mre syllables are delivered faster.
35. What can be inferred abut the ptimal infrmatin rate?
A. It can lead t smth cmmunicatin.
B. It stays the same fr individual speakers.
C. It may result in the difficulty f listening.
D. It prevents speakers frm ging t extremes.

I'm Tia, a passinate teenage girl, living next dr t the crner f 71st Street. It's my crner. Mst flks find there's nthing there, just an empty lt. But t me, it’s like a wide-pen treasure bx. Stepping int it, I feel like leaping int a sea f green. The tall grass, prbably just weeds, with butterflies gathering arund, smells clean and fresh, and I wnder why I'm the nly ne wh's thankful fr this place.
One evening, Mama said, "Tia, the city wants t turn that cmer f yurs int a parking lt." I stpped in my tracks. "N! They can't d that!"
"Tia, yu have t make them see what yu see. Make sme nise abut it. N ne ever gt any place by sitting back and staying quiet." That night, I lay awake thinking fr a lng time. "I've gt t d smething."
Early the next mrning I dragged a chair dwn t the crner with a big cardbard n which I'd painted "N Parking Lt! Save Our Nature" in large letters. I sat dwn and waited. Mst peple passed by, paying n attentin t me. My friend Tanya asked me what I was ding, and I tld her. Then came Mrs. DiRisi, a beauty shp wner, wh angrily waved her hand at my sign, saying. "My custmers need a place t park. Yu g hme, little girl." But I didn't mve. Then I nticed a wman dwn the street taking pictures f my crner. She walked ver t me, smiling, "I'm Sara Bennett. Can I talk t yu?" I ndded. I knew I needed t make sme nise. I started talking, and Ms. Bennett scribbled n a ntepad. "A walking path wuld be nice, maybe a vegetable garden. And a bench, s peple culd sit dwn and listen t the birds singing." I was surprised at myself, at hw many ideas I'd gt fr this crner.
The next mrning, my brther burst int my rm with a mrning paper. "Fighting fr Nature n the Crner f 71st" was the title f the article, and alng with it was a picture f me!
After breakfast my brther, Mama and I dragged ur chairs and signs back t the crner.

A Week in the Wild
Last week, I, tgether with 30 ther students, went t Yunnan and tk part in the Wildlife Prtectin Winter Camp held by WWF.
We spent ne week in the wild rain frests learning abut endangered animals frm wildlife prfessinals. We bserved hw different species f mnkeys adapted themselves t their natural habitats. Plus, varius activities t help prtect them have been rganized, such as picking up plastics, remving nets and traps and putting up psters. We were amazed by the tireless effrts that the lcals were making.
The camp nt nly raised ur envirnmental awareness, but als deepened ur understanding f wildlife prtectin. Only when we learn t exist in harmny with nature can we enjy a better future tgether.

One pssible versin:
T my amazement, I saw sme familiar figures cming twards us. Mrs. DiRisi led the way, accmpanied by Tanya and a grwing crwd f neighbrs, all carrying signs and expressing their supprt. Even Sara Bennett returned, camera in hand, ready t dcument the lively grup. As the cmmunity came tgether fr this cause, Mama gave me a nudge t speak. Stepping frward, I shared ur visin, simple yet heartfelt. "Tgether, we can turn this empty space int a place f beauty and jy fr everyne." The crwd's reactin was incredible, cheers and applause filling the air, witnessing ur great willingness and cllective effrts t make a difference.
A year later; the sign n the crner made it fficial. The breadbard std prudly, updated with "Nature's Crner: A Cmmunity Garden and Walking Path", marking the transfrmatin f the empty lt int a vibrant green space. The tall grass had been replaced by a variety f flwers and vegetables, tended t by vlunteers frm all walks f life. A wden bench verlked the garden, inviting passersby t rest and enjy the sights and sunds f nature. Children played in the newly paved walking path, and birds sang frm the trees that had been planted alng its edges. The crner had becme a symbl f unity and perseverance, and 1, Tia, culdn't have been pruder t have played a small part in its rebirth.A Week in the Wild
