Five weeks ag, I nticed the skin f ur pet lizard(蜥蜴) was grwing dusty. It wrried me. I reprted the strange surface n the skin t my husband and children the next mrning. Secnds later, ur lizard emerged frm its tank with its ld skin flwing behind it.
I didn’t think abut it much until a mrning last week when I kncked my favrite teapt ff the table. It burst int hundreds f pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wndered why we had been breaking s many things ver the mnths.
The destructin started three mnths ag. It was my husband’s birthday. He had just lst his jb. The uncertainty was starting t wear n us, s I wanted t d smething special--a birthday cake.
Tw hurs befre my husband came back hme frm anther jb interview, my daughter climbed up t grab a glass vase frm a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces f glass were everywhere. She sbbed ludly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding fr his birthday.
Three days ag, the light in ur living rm suddenly went ut. After several frustrating hurs f unsuccessful attempts t fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jrdan dcumentary series The Last Dance.
The pignancy（辛酸）f Jrdan retiring frm his belved basketball t play baseball and what had pushed him t make such a tugh decisin tk me by surprise. As I watched him take ff his basketball unifrm and replace it with a baseball unifrm, I saw him leaving behind the layer that n lnger served him, just as ur lizard had. Neither f them chse the mment that had transfrmed them. But they had t live with wh they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have t learn t leave the past behind.
Humans d nt shed skin as easily as ther animals. The beginning f change is upsetting. The prcess is tiring. Damage changes us befre we are ready. I see ur lizard, raw and nearly new.
24. What can we learn abut the pet lizard frm Paragraph 1?
A. Its tank grew dirty.B. It gt a strange disease.
C. Its ld skin came ff. D. It ran ut f the tank.
25. Why did the authr’s husband have banana pudding fr his birthday?

27. What message des the authr cnvey?

C
A few years ag, yu went n a vacatin with friends, creating lasting memries — walking alng the beach, swimming in the sea, and enjying breathtaking sunsets. Hwever, the trip wasn’t all smth sailing: lng drives, fd issues, and unpredictable weather. Yet, ver time, yu tend t remember the beautiful mments while the incnveniences fade. This is knwn as rsy retrspectin, a cgnitive bias (认知偏见) where peple recall past experiences mre psitively than they felt during the actual event.
The phenmenn can be understd as the cmplex interactin f cgnitive mechanisms that shape ur memry prcesses. When recalling memries, ur brains tend t fcus n psitive details and dwnplay negative aspects, which helps maintain emtinal well-being. Nstalgia (怀旧) als plays a significant rle, as it aruses feelings f warmth and belnging, leading us t view the past mre psitively. Additinally, ur current emtinal state and self-enhancement bias can influence hw we remember past events, making them seem mre favrable.
While sme individuals wh fcus mre n negative experiences may be at a higher risk f md disrders such as depressin, rsy retrspectin can elevate ur mds, increase life satisfactin, and even help us cpe with difficult present circumstances by prviding a sense f cntinuity and psitive self-identity.
Hwever, rsy retrspectin ccasinally creates an unrealistic view f the past, which can lead peple t make decisins that are nt based n reality but rather n their idealized memries. It’s ne f the reasns why we might repeatedly return t unhealthy relatinships. The lnger the time that has passed since the event, the mre likely we are t let the gd memries utweigh the bad memries and perhaps even frgive unfrgivable behavir. Understanding and acknwledging this cgnitive bias can be crucial fr making accurate and beneficial decisins.
28. Hw d peple with rsy retrspectin generally recall past experiences?
A. They frget negative mments easily.
B. They recall breathtaking details repeatedly.
C. They remember adventurus trips mre clearly.
D. They view frmer experiences mre psitively.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The reasns fr rsy retrspectin. B. The meaning f rsy retrspectin.
C. The rle f nstalgia in shaping memries. D. The ways f keeping emtinal well-being.
30. What is the clsest meaning f the underlined wrd “elevate” in paragraph 3?
A. Assess B. Expse. C. Bst. D. Ignre.
31. What negative cnsequence may rsy retrspectin cause?
A. It may lead t a cnstant state f depressin. B. It may give rise t incrrect judgments.
C. It may make peple miss ut n pprtunities. D. It may raise peple’s unwillingness t face reality.
D
Fr wind and wildlife eclgist Emma Bennett, getting wind farms t adpt methds f aviding bat cllisins (碰撞) has lng been a pririty.
Fr reasns nbdy fully understands, bats are attracted t turbine (涡轮机) twers, perhaps because they see them as ptential nesting sites r places t find insects. “Unlike birds, bats are actually investigating wind turbines and spending mre time arund them, which makes them at higher risk fr death rate,” says Bennett. This attractin means that even when turbines are intentinally set up in places with little t n bat activity, the animals still ften end up flying there and getting killed.
The mst effective slutin, many experts agree, is t limit the times when the turbines are active. Eclgists have nticed that small bat species in particular are mst likely t get struck by the blades when wind speeds are relatively lw, arund 2 t 5 meters per secnd. These small bats, weighing less than a chclate bar, can’t fly if cnditins get much windier. S at night, when the bats are ut and abut, setting wind turbines spinning nly when higher wind speeds have been reached — an apprach called curtailment — can help. Fr example, a tw-year study at a Pennsylvania wind farm fund that raising the wind speed at which turbines start t spin frm 3.5 meters per secnd t 5 r 6.5 meters per secnd reduced bat deaths by between 44 percent and 93 percent.
Because mst wind pwer is generated at high wind speeds anyway, the impact f the restrictin n energy prductin is minimal, says Bennett. When she tested a very mdest restrictin raising the cut-in speed frm 3 meters per secnd t 4.5 meters per secnd, she and her clleagues saw bat death rate decline by arund 54 percent, while the Australian wind farm in questin lst less than 0.1 percent f earnings. “Any small increase in this cut-in speed actually has a massive effect n bat survival,” Bennett says.
32. What is the prblem disturbing Emma Bennett?
A. The nises f turbines.B. The endangered bat species.
C. Turbine twers’ attractin t bats.D. The lcatin f turbine twers,
33. Why is “a chclate bar” mentined in paragraph 3?
A. T prvide an example. B. T supprt an argument.
C. T justify a new thery. D. T give a descriptin.
34. Hw des the “curtailment” methd help save small bats?
A. By making the turbines spin slwer.B. By making the turbines spin a little faster.
C. By starting the turbines at lwer wind speeds.D. By starting the turbines at higher wind speeds.
35. What des the last paragraph fcus n?
A. The definitin f the cut-in speed.B. The efficiency f the restrictin apprach.
C. The prfits f the Australian wind farm.D. The experimental prcess f the restrictin.

If yu are a perfectinist, yu fllw high standards and always try t d everything well. 36 Researchers find pursuing perfectin can have serius effects n mental health.
In a 2016 study, researchers studied the relatinship between perfectinism and depressin ver time. 37 Althugh peple may believe that their perfectinism cntributes t their success, it seems t be harmful t their mental health.

I knew exercise is gd fr health — wh desn’t? But 41 were easier. Running bred me, biking sunded risky, and the gym seemed t much t handle. Each ffered me a reasn t 42 it, s I did.
When I wrked in Kenya, I came t realize that peple there dn’t “ 43 ” the way I had thught. Instead, they mve with a clear 44 in mind. They mve t reach a destinatin. They mve t hunt and t tend crps. There is n such thing as a 45 but they are wrking ut 24-7. Maybe I culd take 46 frm these peple and add meaning t my exercising. I launched my 47 prgram: “chicken-cising”, with 15 baby chicks and a bk n 48 backyard chickens.

One f my teachers nce asked my class what ur favrite memry was. My teacher asked fr the mment in which “yu fell the best; yu fell that yu had the wrld in the palms f yur hand.” Sme described amazing awards; ther described winning a turnament. My answer, hwever, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why? Because I felt the best when I first learned hw t ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmates’ stares and mckery, because I knew there was mre t the stry.
My elder sister and I shared a typical sisterly relatinship: we culdn’t stand each ther. I was an annyance t her. Any srt f cnversatin we had usually ended up fighting. Gradually, I started t learn t be ttally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment wuld get mre apprval. I was wrng. We sn fell int a sad pattern. I avided her, and she ignred me. Deep inside, it hurt. S that was hw it was between us. She was nly a sister in name. I truly believed that we wuld frever be apart, tw husemates withut cnversatin, tw strangers withut warmth.
I still remember the day I learned t ride a bike. I had received the bike that Christmas, which was great, until I realized that I had n idea hw t ride it. My mm had lng abandned any attempt t teach me. I had prven t be a frustrating student. I tk it upn myself t learn, a little bit each day. It was n different. I was cming t the end f my daily ne-hur trture(折磨). I was s frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began t cry.

I guess that was what my sister t cme utside. At first, I was skeptical and tense, as I assumed that she wuld begin t tease me r at least burst ut laughing. Hwever, she did neither. I hunched my shulders frward and turned my face away, tears trickling dwn my cheeks. She gently picked my bike up, uttering in a reassuring tne, “I can teach yu hw t ride.” Dumbstruck, I raised my head and stared at her in stunned silence. Next hurs saw my sister steadily hld my bike when my feet faltered. She never nce let me fall, patiently teaching me hw t ride a bike.
“I made it,” I shuted with excitement. A ripple f happiness bubbled up in my heart. I turned arund, beaming a warm smile at my sister. She gave me an apprving nd, eyes gleaming with amusement. That was the day I had a taste f what real sisterly intimacy culd be like. Fr three hurs, three wnderful, blissful hurs, we learned t ride a bike, which was the perfect harmny I had lnged fr. We still ccasinally have ur randm spats and bitter rivalries, but since that day, it has been easier t get alng because I knw my sister will be there fr me when I need her.
