A few days ag, my husband, Russ, and I lst ur huse f 28 years t a Califrnia wild fire.
On that night, we had t leave ur huse and sleep in the back seat f ur Frd. The next mrning, we had t drive three and a half hurs t find a htel that had an available rm. Only later, in the lcal newspaper, did we see phtgraphs f the destructin. Our huse had been cnsumed by the fire alng with mst f ur neighbrhd.
Hw are we ging t rebuild after this? I thught, runding a crner in the sidewalk r my walk back t the htel. Is it even pssible?
I nticed smething up ahead——a pair f nickels shining like precius jewels. They were just nickels, but they smehw felt special. I bent dwn and picked them up. If these were lucky cins, I culd use all the luck I culd get.
A few days later, I made a trip t the stre t buy essentials. The enrmus task f replacing everything we'd lst put a heavy weight n me. I was abut t leave when I felt the urge t stp and turn my head t the right. I culd hardly believe it— there n a shelf, was a nickel! Okay, maybe this is mre than luck, I thught and put the nickel in my pcket.
I tld myself that I had fund the nickels just by chance. Then I fund ne next t my plate at a restaurant—— n Thanksgiving, n less, when I was missing ur huse mre than ever. It seemed that a nickel appeared whenever my spirits plummeted
Whenever I reached my breaking pint, I'd find anther nickel in the grass at the park, r near the tire f my car in a parking lt. Once, my change fr a quick lunch was given entirely in nickels. “I'm srry,” the cashier said. “It's all we have.”
It's all I needed.
One day, I was sitting at the desk when my phne rang. It was a real- estate agent I'd been wrking with. “I have a new listing,” she said.
“When can we see it?”
A few hurs later, Russ and I were fllwing the agent dwn the driveway tward the huse. I didn't think lng. Because there, in the driveway,…
After the wild fire, the cuple
tk sme phts f the destructin
culd hardly affrd their Thanksgiving dinner

What des the underlined wrd “plummeted” in Paragraph 6 prbably mean?
A. sank. B. Changed.C. Strengthened.D. Remained
What did the fund nickels mean t the authr?
Hpe during challenging times. B. Luck fr the freseeable future.
C. Signs f a huge frtune t cme.D. Reminders f what had happened.
which wuld be the best ending fr the passage?
I lked up and imagined smething n a clud, a giant nickel, just fr me. B: I fund an ld nickel, which seemed t tell a stry frm the past.

In the early 1900s, French chemist, Eduard Benedictus, invented shatterprf(防碎的)glass by chance. But its significance and relevance didn't emerge until the car market created the prblem fr which he had already fund the answer.
Such mments f serendipity reveal the unpredictable nature f innvatin. Yet, even in cases where chance plays a rle, as in Benedictus's stry, the brader questin remains: Are such discveries truly brn f luck, r were they smehw “in the air,” waiting fr the right persn t seize them?
Sme argue all the discveries wuld have been made by ther peple. They believe if the time was ripe in cnceptual and technlgical terms, smene wuld have gt there sner r later. This is the used and abused
understanding f theries that were “in the air”. independently, Charles-Darwin and Alfred R. Walace ther atter 15 years behind Darwin) arrived at the thery f evlutin by natural selectr, bth cunting n similar data. They’re existed slight differences in the thery, but the cincidences f thught were astnishing. This phenmenn, which als exists in bilgical evlutin, is called cnvergence. tw nn-clsely related species develp similar functinal adaptatins. This ccurs because the envirnment pses similar survival prblems t bth, namely similar selective pressures. This is an imprtant clue that can help explain why this dynamic als exists in scientific knwledge: There are similar selective pressures and different research grups that cmpete t cme up with the slutins.
If we analyze the steps undertaken that led t the result, we can see that there were in fact sme accidental elements. The verall dynamic was nt accidental, thugh. Yet is it really pssible that all discveries were in the air? Let us assume fr a mment that this is true and that the mst luck can d is speed up the inevitable. All scientists are standing n the shulders f the giants wh have gne befre them, and there is bjectively a cumulative (积累的) element in science. Nevertheless, at sme pint and in the right circumstances, it was the unknwn scientists, nt the giants, wh managed t see a little farther. The mind f the giant was imprisned by prir knwledge and s trapped within the framewrk f established habits, research questins, and established methds. The new, little-knwn scientist, n the ther hand, will in ne way r anther have been able t break free f the chains f established knwledge. And s, it will have been pssible fr them t imagine ther wrlds. This suggests that it will be innvatrs, with their prepared mind, have a better chance f making accidental discveries, namely that are irregular and unexpected.
In Paragraph 2, “serendipity” refers t
late recgnitin B. chemical innvatin
C. emergence f prblems D. accidental inventin
The example f Darwin and Wallace is given t illustrate
the fierce cmpetitin amng bilgical scientists
independent but similar slutins under shared pressures
the imprtant rle f similar data in intentinal research
limited resurces and technlgical dependency in science
Which statement best reflects the main idea f the passage?
Breakthrughs arise when ready thinkers meet pprtunities.
All discveries are inevitable results f technlgical prgress.
Serendipity alne drives grundbreaking scientific achievements.
Traditinal methds prevent innvatin and shuld be abandned.

If yu want t disturb the car industry, yu'd better have a few billin dllars. Mm-and-pp carmakers are unlikely t beat the biggest car cmpanies. But in agriculture, small farmers can get the best f the majr players. By cnnecting directly with custmers, and by respnding quickly t changes in the markets as well as in the ecsystems, small farmers can keep ne step ahead f the big guy. As the c-funder f the Natinal Yung Farmers Calitin(美国青年农会) and a family farmer myself. I have a frnt-rw seat t the innvatins amng small farmers that are transfrming the industry.
Fr example, take the Quick Cut Greens Harvest er, a tl develped just a cuple f years ag by a yung
farmer, Jnathan Dysinger, in Tennessee, with a small lan frm a lcal Slw Mney grup. It enables small-scale farmers t harvest 175 punds f green vegetables per hur—a huge imprvement ver harvesting just a few dzen punds by hand— suddenly making it pssible fr the little guys t cmpete with large farms f Califrnia. Befre the tl came ut, small farmers culdn't tuch the price per pund ffered by Califrnia farms. But nw, with the cmbinatin f a better price pint and a generally fresher prduct, they can stay in business.
The sustainable success f small farmers, thugh, wn't happen withut fundamental changes t the industry. One crucial factr is secure access t land. Cmpetitin frm investrs, develpers, and established large farmers makes wning ne's wn land unattainable fr many new farmers. Frm 2004 t 2013, agricultural land values dubled, and they cntinue t rise in many regins.
Anther challenge fr mre than a millin f the mst qualified farm wrkers and managers is a nn-existing path t citizenship—— the greatest barrier t building a farm f their wn. With farmers ver the age f 65 utnumbering farmers yunger than 35 by six t ne, and with tw-thirds f the natin's farmland in need f a new farmer, we must clear the path fr talented peple willing t grw the natin's fd.
There are slutins that culd light a path tward a mre sustainable and fair farm ecnmy, but farmers can't clumsily put them tgether befre us. We at the NYFC need brad supprt as we urge Cngress t increase farmland cnservatin, as we push fr immigratin refrm, and as we seek plicies that will ensure the success f a diverse and ambitius next generatin f farms frm all backgrunds. With a new farm bill t be debated in Cngress, cnsumers must take a stand with yung farmers.
31 The authr mentins ear industry at the beginning f the passage t intrduce .
the prgress made in car industry
a special feature f agriculture
a trend f develpment in agriculture
the imprtance f investing in car industry
What des the authr want t illustrate with the example in Paragraph 2?
lans t small lcal farmers are necessary.
technlgy is vital fr agricultural develpment.
Cmpetitin between small and big farms is fierce.
Small farmers may gain sme advantages ver big nes. 33 What is the difficulty fr thse new farmers?
A T gain mre financial aid. B. T hire gd farm managers.
C. T have farms f their wn.D T win ld farmers' supprt.
What shuld farmers d fr a mve sustainable and fair farm ecnmy?

Smetimes in ur lives, we face this prblem: bth lved nes and strangers can anny us. At hme, we've had t put up with children screaming during nline meetings and family members being n the cmputer all the time.35
Kindness seems like a distant memry. The ability t live peacefully with annying husemates r neighbrs seems mre difficult than ever. 36 If we treat kindness as a skill and make it a daily practice, it will cme mre easily ver time.
37Lving-Kindness Meditatin (LKM), which traces its rts back t early Buddhism, helps us find cmpassin fr ne anther even during trying times. This meditatin asks us t send thughts f lving-kindness t ur lved nes, then t acquaintances (peple yu dn't knw very well), and finally t difficult peple. Over time, ur unkind thughts are replaced with mre pen, accepting nes. Anger is replaced with lve, r at least kindness.
Dnald Altman, a psychtherapist frm Prtland, Oregn, says LKM helps us recgnize that we are all vulnerable and have been hurt. 38
S hw d we practice it? T begin with, Altman suggests finding a quiet place t sit. He says t then imagine a favrite family member r friend sending yu the wrds: “May yu be well, happy, and at peace.” After a few minutes, direct the wrds at yurself: “May I be well, happy, and at peace.” 39 Replace the “I” with the name f a teacher r cach, then a family member r friend, then an acquaintance, and finally an unfriendly persn in yur life. End the meditatin by spreading the blessings t all living beings.
Indeed, we shuld find ur wn way t practice LKM—but nly if we are prepared t embrace its benefits and extend them t anyne wh may need them.
The gd news is that it isn't lst
Luckily, we can lk t ancient disciplines fr guidance.
Then, extend the blessing t ther peple, in rder f decreasing fndness.
At wrk, we have had t take the pressure these demanding crate.
fr that reasn, we culd all benefit frm lve's warm and cmfrting blessing
Yu can cmbine the wrds with breathing, repeating a phrase f lve fr yurself.
Outside, we have encuntered drivers speeding n busy rads and passengers talking ludly n the subway

When trying t memrize new material, it’s easy t assume that the mre wrk yu put in, the better yu will perfrm. Yet taking ccasinal breaks—t d abslutely nthing—may be exactly what yu need. Simply dim the lights, sit back, and spend 10-15 minutes in quiet reflectin. Yu’ll find that yur memry f the newly learned infrmatin is far better than if yu had tried t make that time mre prductive.
The remarkable memry-enhancing effects f undisturbed rest were first dcumented in 1900 by German psychlgist Gerg Elias Müller and his student Alfns Pilzecker. In ne f their numerus experiments n memry cnslidatin, Müller and Pilzecker first asked participants t learn a list f meaningless syllables. Fllwing a shrt study perid, half the grup was immediately given a secnd list t memrize—while the ther half was allwed a six-minute break befre cntinuing.
When tested ne-and-a-half hurs later, the tw grups shwed drastically different recall results. Participants wh had taken the break remembered nearly 50% f the riginal list, whereas the grup that had n time t recharge their mental energy averaged nly 28% retentin. This finding suggested that ur memry f new infrmatin is particularly fragile right after we first learn it, making it mre susceptible t interference frm ther new infrmatin.
Taking regular, undistracted rest perids can help all f us retain new material mre firmly. After all, fr many students, the 10-30% memry imprvement bserved in sme studies culd mean the difference between an A and a
“I can imagine yu culd fit these 10–15-minute breaks int yur study sessins,” says Aidan Hmer frm the University f Yrk, “and that might be an effective way t make small but meaningful imprvements t yur later recall ability.”
In an era f infrmatin verlad, it’s wrth remembering that ur smartphnes aren’t the nly things that need regular recharging—ur minds clearly d t.
Accrding t the first paragraph, what is a gd way t bst memry while memrizing new material?
What did Gerg and Alfns’ finding suggest?
Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
T enhance the memry ability, Aidan Hrner encurages students t have breaks while taking exams.
Besides bsting yur memry, what else can yu d t imprve yur academic (学业的)perfrmance?(In abut 40 wrds)
