I have always been passinate abut art, but with children t feed and educate, pursuing it seemed impssible. At 83, I finally registered fr art schl. Brn in 1933, I led a life marked by family struggles but als resilience (适应力). I studied mechanical engineering and later management, becming an assciate prfessr at business schl, where I nw hld emeritus (荣誉退休的) status.
Abut ten years ag, after my wife fell ill with Alzheimer’s and required care, I turned t painting. Determined t take this new path seriusly, I applied t an art prgramme in Barcelna, insisting n painting despite advice t study art histry. Balancing my studies with wrk, it tk me seven years t cmplete the fur-year curse, graduating last year at the age f 90.
Returning t schl was a challenge; everything had changed since my earlier educatin. Mst f my classmates were in their 20s, but they welcmed me warmly, ften seeking my advice due t my life experience. I encuntered sme resistance frm a cuple f teachers early n, but I kept ging.
The first tw years fcused n flwers, still lifes, and landscapes, befre we explred abstractin, which I enjy mst. I believe that talent cmes frm hard wrk; smetimes I feel stuck, but I push thrugh. My artistic influences include Spanish painters like Francisc de Zurbarán and Jaquín Srlla, and while I appreciate beauty, I value gdness and truth even mre.
I create abstract landscapes frm memry, expressing my emtins thrugh clur. I paint primarily n weekends and during hlidays. While I dn’t plan t exhibit extensively, my wrk was displayed in a small village fr six mnths, thugh it received little attentin.
After a lifetime in engineering and educatin, I may nt fully identify as an artist, but I nw have the recgnitin that supprts my jurney int art.

Emergency Mask Pd (面罩舱) is a plastic, 3D-printed and ftball-shaped case that cntains a mask that prtects the lungs f smene trapped in a fire until they were rescued.

Alexis built several different pds, which were tested by lcal firefighters. Each pd was cast int a secnd stry windw mre than 290 times by a ttal f 37 firefighters. The ftball-shaped pd, which Alexis printed n her MakerBt 3D printer, was the clear winner, with an accuracy rate f ver 70 percent.

David Strayer, an expert in attentin at the University f Utah never texts r talks n a phne when he is driving. His research shws that, when driving, using a phne can be as dangerus as drinking alchl.
Despite many warnings, multitasking is increasingly cmmn. It is fund that peple in the United States switch tasks n their cmputers 566 times a day. Hwever, when peple spend hurs n digital devices cnstantly switching between activities, the verall prductivity decreases. T much multitasking reduces the ability t think clearly and creatively and t remember infrmatin. This, in turn, can result in stress.
What is the best cure fr the verstressed minds? David Strayer says the answer is simple: Spend sme time in nature. When peple are in natural envirnments, the prefrntal crtex (the brain’s cntrl center) relaxes. Studies shw that when peple can see trees and grass, they are calmer and d better in schl.
In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went fr a 15-minute walk in seven different frests. The same number f peple walked arund different city centers. Researchers then tk bld frm each persn. The frest walkers had a 16 percent decrease in the stress hrmne crtisl. In additin, they had a 2 percent drp in bld pressure and a 4 percent drp in heart rate. All did better than the city walkers. Lead researcher Yshifumi Miyazaki has an explanatin fr these results. Our bdies relax in pleasant natural surrundings, he says. Humans evlved in that envirnment, nt in places with tall buildings and lts f traffic.
Strayer says it is the visual details in nature — sunsets, streams, butterflies that reduce stress and mental tiredness. Peple enjy them withut having t cncentrate n them, which allws the brains t rest and recver frm the stresses f mdern life. “Imagine a therapy (疗法) that was readily available, and culd imprve the cgnitive (认知的) functining at zer cst,” Strayer says. “It exists: it’s called ‘interacting with nature.’”
32．What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A．The cure fr the reductin f creativity.B．The harmful effects caused by multitasking.
C．The cmmn use f multitasking in the USA．D．The reasn fr the ppularity f multitasking.
33．Which f the fllwing is NOT mentined as a likely benefit f seeing nature?
A．Faster reactin speeds.B．Better schl perfrmance.
C．Imprved mental functin.D．Feelings f calm and relaxatin.
34．Hw did the researchers get the result f their study?
A．By ding surveys.B．By analyzing cause and effect.
C．By making cmparisns.D．By explaining the phenmenn.
35．What des Strayer think abut “interacting with nature”?
A．It requires a lt f cncentratin t be effective.
B．It nly wrks fr peple wh enjy natural views.
C．It is a free and accessible treatment t reduce stress.
D．It is an expensive therapy that imprves brain functin.

The blank canvas (画布) stared back at me, its whiteness scarier than any exam I’d ever taken. My fingers trembled as I held the paintbrush. “Remember, class,” Mrs. Larsn’s vice eched in my mind, “yur final prject shuld reflect yur persnal jurney this semester.” I swallwed hard. Three mnths ag, I wuldn’t have dared t set ft in this rm. Art had always been Mia’s territry (领地) — my best friend since third grade wh culd make magic happen with just a pencil and paper.
It all started n that rainy September afternn in the library when I was drawing n my math ntebk. Mia had picked it up befre I culd stp her. “Amazing, Lily!” she said, her green eyes wide with genuine excitement. “The way yu play with negative space (留白) ... yu have t jin art club!”
Nw, as I lked at the pile f failed attempts beside me — a sunset that lked like a traffic light. I wndered if I’d made a terrible mistake. The Spring Art Exhibitin was just tw days away, and my cnfidence was fading faster than the cheap waterclrs n my practice sheets. A sft knck stpped my thughts. Mia ppped her head in. “Still here?” She slid int the seat beside me, eyeing my latest failure. “Yu’re verthinking it,” she said gently. “Art isn’t abut perfectin. It’s abut...”
“Expressin, I knw,” I finished fr her, sighing. But hw culd I express what I didn’t even understand myself? The bell rang, signaling the end f after-schl hurs. Mia hesitated at the dr. “ painting hw yu feel, nt what yu see.”As her ftsteps faded dwn the hallway, I turned back t the blank canvas. Fr the first time, I nticed hw the afternn sun streaming thrugh the windws made the white surface shine like fresh snw. Taking a deep breath, I reached fr the black paint.
