Smetimes, gd advice takes time t sink in. When I first read Threau’s Walden, I was attracted by his call t simplify ur lives. Nevertheless, I ignred his advice fr frty years and enjyed my life with pssessins. But ne mrning, an incident ccurred that illustrated the wisdm f Threau’s advice and changed my life.
It was January 13, a bright Sunday mrning at my hme in Minnesta. My challenge was t remve twelve inches f snw frm my driveway befre my favrite sccer game began. Whenever I tried t blw the snw ut f my driveway, my snwblwer ran just secnds befre it stpped. S I had t wheel the machine back int the garage t check and repair. Meanwhile, my neighbr smiled and waved as he finished clearing the snw using his snwblwer.
I abandned the snwblwer and seized a shvel, clearing a path thrugh the driveway wide enugh in fifteen minutes. After watching the game, I tk apart the snwblwer and drpped the pieces int a large trash can, feeling a rush f freedm. Nw, n mre trips t the gas statin, and n mre il changes r breakdwns.
I shared my insight with my wife Carlyn, wh was supprtive. Whenever it snwed heavily, we skipped wrking ut at the gym and shveled the driveway tgether. The task never tk mre than thirty minutes and was fllwed by a celebratry cup f ht chclate. A new winter traditin was brn.
Fllwing Threau’s advice t simplify life, I made a system fr srting thrugh my pssessins t decide what t keep, sell, dnate, r desert and encuraged Carlyn t jin me in my effrt. By the time we retired, we mved t a retirement cmmunity with a small rental truck, saving thusands f dllars.
In retirement, we cntinue t enjy the benefits f wning n mre than we need. The less we wn, the less we have t take care f, and the mre time we have t pursue activities that bring us jy: biking, hiking, reading, and travelling. We are glad we tk Threau’s advice.
24. Hw did the authr react t Threau’s advice at first?

C. He abandned his private pssessins.D. He made imprvements accrding t it.
25. What did the authr plan t d after clearing the snw?

C. Enjy his favrite sprts prgram.D. Take the snwblwer t the gas statin.
26. What was the authr’s new family traditin?

B. Celebrating their physical wrk with ht chclate.
C. Ding the repairs f their pssessins by themselves.
D. Getting peple in the neighbrhd t clear the snw.

As mre and mre species near extinctin, scientists have been cllecting samples frm animals, plants and ther creatures and string them in bibanks acrss the glbe. But climate change, envirnmental disasters and wars threaten these mdern Nah’s arks. Nw, a team f researchers is brainstrming an ut-f-this-wrld slutin: building ne f these vaults (库) n the mn.
A bibank in a permanently shadwed regin at the mn’s suth ple culd be far mre stable than thse n Earth. This part f the mn usually remains arund -196° Celsius, perfect fr string mst animal cells lng-term, marine bilgist Mary Hagedrn and clleagues reprt in BiScience.
Hagedrn and clleagues drew inspiratin frm the Svalbard Glbal Seed Vault in Nrway which takes advantage f belw-zer Arctic temperatures t preserve millins f seeds frm arund the wrld. In 2017, melting (融化) frzen sil threatened t fld the vault, highlighting the need fr a backup plan. A different team has prpsed building a lunar ark in lava (熔岩) tubes that run beneath the mn’s surface. But that design requires a slar-pwered cling system; any lss f pwer and the samples wuld be destryed. In the mn’s frever-frzen shadwed regins, a lunar vault wuldn’t need energy r cnstant human maintenance, Hagedrn’s team says.
Given the shadwy suth ple’s lw temperatures, Hagedrn says, a vault there culd stre “ne f the mst pwerful cells that we have tday” — fibrblasts. Scientists can transfrm these animal cells int stem cells, “and then thse stem cells can be used fr clning,” she says. The cells culd be valuable fr regenerating ppulatins f threatened r extinct species and fr building ecsystems in future human settlements n the mn r Mars.
The prpsal has its share f barriers. Fr instance, the mn’s permanently dark regins aren’t free frm temperature swings, says lunar scientist Benjamin Greenhagen f the Jhns Hpkins University. “They are still cld but perhaps nt always cld enugh fr this prject withut sme level f temperature management.”
28．Why is the mn an ideal place fr the bibank?
A．It’s nt affected by wars.B．It’s nt envirnmentally plluted.
C．It has prper temperatures.D．It has rich resurces fr research.
29．What led t Hagedrn’s prpsal f a lunar bibank?
A．The slar-pwered cling system.B．The lava tubes n the mn’s surface.
C．The prblem facing the Nrway Vault.D．The discvery f ice n the lunar ple.
30．What can scientists use fibrblasts t d?
A．Frm stem cells fr clning.B．Explre mn sil cnditins.
C．Help land humans n the mn.D．Imprve the ec-system f the earth.
31．What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A．Lunar Explratin: The Next Frntier fr Clning
B．Relieving Climate Change: The Mn Bibank Prject
C．The Mn as a Backup: A New Slutin fr Seed Strage
D．Building Bibanks n the Mn: A Prpsal t Save Bidiversity

Human speech cntains mre than 2,000 different sunds, frm the cmmn “m” and “a” t the rare clicks f sme suthern African languages. But why are certain sunds mre cmmn than thers? A grund-breaking, five-year study shws that diet-related changes in human bite led t new speech sunds that are nw fund in half the wrld’s languages.
Mre than 30 years ag, the schlar Charles Hckett nted that speech sunds called labidentals(唇齿), such as “f” and “v”, were mre cmmn in the languages f scieties that ate sfter fds. Nw a team f researchers led by Damián Blasi at the University f Zurich, Switzerland, has fund hw and why this trend arse.
They discvered that the upper and lwer frnt teeth f ancient human adults were aligned(对齐), making it hard t prduce labidentals, which are frmed by tuching the lwer lip t the upper teeth. Later, ur jaws changed t an verbite structure(结构), making it easier t prduce such sunds.
The team shwed that this change in bite was cnnected with the develpment f agriculture in the Nelithic perid. Fd became easier t chew at this pint. The jawbne didn’t have t d as much wrk and s didn’t grw t be s large.
Analyses f a language database als cnfirmed that there was a glbal change in the sund f wrld languages after the Nelithic age, with the use f “f” and “v” increasing remarkably during the last few thusand years. These sunds are still nt fund in the languages f many hunter-gatherer peple tday.
This research verturns the ppular view that all human speech sunds were present when human beings evlved arund 300,000 years ag. “The set f speech sunds we use has nt necessarily remained stable since the appearance f human beings, but rather the huge variety f speech sunds that we find tday is the prduct f a cmplex interplay f things like bilgical change and cultural evlutin,” said Steven Mran, a member f the research team.
32．What is the research mentined in this article mainly abut?
A．Human labidentals.B．Speech sunds.
C．Technlgical develpment.D．Human evlutin.
33．Why was it difficult fr ancient human adults t prduce labidentals?
A．They had fewer upper teeth than lwer teeth.
B．They culd nt pen and clse their lips easily.
C．Their jaws were nt cnveniently structured.
D．Their lwer frnt teeth were nt large enugh.
34．What is paragraph 5 mainly abut?
A．Supprting evidence fr the research results.
B．Ptential applicatin f the research findings.
C．A further explanatin f the research methds.
D．A reasnable dubt abut the research prcess.
35．What can we infer frm Steven Mran wrds?
A．Human speech sunds changes are very cmplex.
B．Steven Mran views are very ppular and widely accepted.
C．Great prgress has been made in the study f speech sunds.
D．Speech sunds has remained unchanged during human revlutin.

Nameless Faces
Fr abut a year, my vyage t and frm wrk each day included a ten-minute walk thrugh the heart f dwntwn area. As with mst large cities, the hmeless ppulatin in my city ften gathered n dwntwn crners, asking pedestrians fr their spare change. Like many busy citizens, I had learned t ignre the nameless faces begging fr mney each day. My limited life experience had led me t ne assumptin — they were n the streets because they chse t be, prbably due t alchl r ther similar things.
But wh wuld have thught that the first persn t change the way I viewed humanity wuld be a cmpletely stranger? My verall utlk n peple tk a 180-degree turn in less than ten minutes.
I remember hw particularly cld the weather had been that day. I saw ne man sitting against a building, hlding a white cup in frnt f him. His shaky vice reached ut t me as I hurried past.
“Spare sme change?” he asked. “I wuld really appreciate it.”
I didn’t even bther lking up at his nameless face. “Srry, n mney n me tday,” I made a lie as usual quickly, my eyes fixed n the grund ahead.
Just a few feet past him, I slipped n the icy pavement and fell hard. I lay there fr several mments, stunned and wndering if I had brken my leg.
“Are yu all right?” A vice came frm abve me. I lked up and it was the man I had just rushed past, cncern written n his face. He reached dwn, trying t ffer help. “Yu shuld get that checked by a dctr. This bus ges past the hspital,” he said, pinting t the bus sign abve me.
I held his hand as I struggled t get t my feet. He held my arm as I hbbled t the nearby bus stp and quickly sat n the bench.
A mix f emtins swelled within me — gratitude fr his help, embarrassment fr my earlier ignrance, and anxiety abut getting t wrk n time. Fr a mment, I met his gaze, unsure f what t say. Then, a sudden realizatin crssed his face.
