A study frm the University f Mntreal and the Mntreal Museum f Fine Arts, published in Frntiers in Medicine, fund that regular virtual visits t museums culd help senirs stay mentally active and cme with a hst f additinal health benefits. That’s because these digital cnnectins can make retirees feel less lnely and islated(孤立的).
Scial islatin has been assciated with the risks fr heart disease and the decline f recgnitin abilities in senirs and the pandemic increased the risks due t the need fr senirs t stay hme and islate, accrding t a press release frm the university.
The researchers investigated the ptential benefits f weekly virtual visits fr a three-mnth perid. The participants were peple aged 65 and lder wh lived in Mntreal. Half f the participants tk part in nline visits and a discussin afterwards, while the cntrl grup did nt participate in any cultural events at all. The grup wh participated in the virtual visits shwed imprvements in their quality f life. “Our study shwed that art-based activities may be an effective interventin,”lead authr Dr. Olivier Beauchet, a prfessr at the University f Mntreal, said in the press release. “On a glbal scale, this participatry art-based activity culd becme a mdel that culd be ffered in museums and arts institutins wrldwide t prmte active and healthy aging.”
The initiative reflects appraches recmmended by the Wrld Health Organizatin t manage certain diseases, accrding t Beauchet. Fr instance, the WHO launched the Aging and Health Prgram in 2015 that included using cmmunity-based rganizatins t prmte culture as a key cmpnent f imprving health. Traditinally, these srts f preventive health activities have taken place in schls, cmmunity centers, and wrkplaces. “While these are suitable lcatins that reach a great number f peple, there are additinal rganizatins and sectrs that culd becme partners in public health research and practice develpment,” Beauchet said. “Museums are amng such ptential partners. They are aware f the needs f their cmmunities and are cnsequently expanding the types f activities they ffer.”
28. Hw d senirs benefit frm regular virtual visits t museums?
A. They imprve quality f life.B. They raise interest in art.
C. They get survival skills.D. They cnnect mre with family.
29. What can be inferred frm Beauchet’s wrds in Paragraph 3?
A. Senirs shuld attend mre art-based activities.
B. They imprve quality f life.
C. Face-t-face discussin is a useful interventin.
D. Participants cme frm the whle wrld.
30. What is the purpse f the last paragraph?
A. T entertain. B. T advcate
C. T advertise. D. T warn.
31. Which may be a suitable title fr the text?

What is the purpse f lightning?
Many are familiar with the ptentially deadly dangers psed by lightning, which is blamed fr an average f 43 deaths in the United States each year, based n data frm 1989 t 2018. Althugh the dds f being struck are quite lw — 1 in 1,222,000 in a given year and 1 in 15,300 in a lifetime — many in the weather cmmunity have lng urged peple t take prper precautins t stay safe amid strms, which can frequently cause lightning, even withut turning severe.
Hwever, the researchers recently uncvered a surprising and beneficial impact f lightning. The Earth is struck by lightning nearly 20 millin times eachyear, and lighting can travel as much as 10 t 12 miles frm a thunderstrm, instantly heating the air t 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Essentially, lightning ccurs due t the buildup f electric charges in the atmsphere. In rder t balance ut the different charges, lightning is caused between tw cluds r between a clud and the grund.
The study was based n an airbrne research flight cnducted by a strm-chasing plane. The plane was used t examine the tp prtin f thunderstrm cluds. Researchers initially thught there was a prblem with the equipment n the plane, which was being used t measure the hydrxyl radicals(羟基自由基) in the atmsphere until they realized spikes they bserved crrespnded with lightning flashes.
Researchers previusly understd that lightning culd help t clean the atmsphere, but there was n evidence that it culd generate cmpunds like these radicals. And the data shwed surprising spikes f up t 1,000 mre hydrxyl radicals than the nrmal value. As a result, the study estimates that smewhere between 2% and 16% f the cleaning that happens naturally in the Earth's atmsphere, is dne by lightning.
Why is this significant? The cleaning prcess helps t reduce chemicals like carbn mnxide and methane in the atmsphere. These chemicals, knwn fr being greenhuse gases, have been prven t cntribute t rising temperatures assciated with climate change.
32. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Lighting happens in a flash
B. Lighting causes deaths every year
C. Lighting can help fight against glbal warming
D. Lighting reduces gases in the atmsphere
33. Hw many deaths did lighting causes in the United States frm 1989 t 2018?
A. Less than 1000 B. Abut 1300
C. Abut 2000 D. Mre than1600
34. Hw des lighting clean the atmsphere?
A. By generating carbn mnxide.B. By increasing hydrxyl radicals.
C. By heating the air.D. By reducing greenhuse gases.
35. What made researchers dubt the equipment n the plane?
A. The electrnic charges in the atmsphere
B. The times f lighting flashes
C. The tp prtin f thunderstrm cluds.
D. The increasing amunt f hydrxyl radical.
