Mst kids spent their summer hlidays playing vide- games, watching TV and sleeping in. Parents can f
llw the steps belw, and yur kids can break their summertime tech habits and adapt t a schl- friendly sc
hedule in tw weeks.
Shift bedtime
There's nthing mre imprtant t kicking ff the schl year successfully than getting sufficient sleep. T
w weeks befre schl begins, schedule bedtime back by abut 20 minutes a night t stp kids staying up lat
e r sleeping in. Instead f a lng, fun bath time, switch t a quick shwer. Keep all digital devices ut f their
bedrms and buy them alarm clcks.
Set screen gals
Having intentinal gals fr screen use can help kids change their tech habits. Yu might decide t make
screen time a reward rather than a right. Set limits n digital activities such as n vide games until they cmp
lete hmewrk. Dn't jump t n apps but cnsider using apps that cntrl the length f time kids can use a de
vice. Establish znes in yur huse where electrnics simply are nt allwed. Besides, get yur kids invlved
in activities that dn't need a screen.

I had wanted t be a cellist fr as lng as I culd remember. At fifteen, I wn a schlarship t a specialist
music schl. I gt up at 5 a. m. t play scales, practiced at lunchtime and returned t my cell(大提琴) after
lessns.
One evening, while practicing a demanding piece, I pushed myself t far. I felt a burning pain between
my wrist and elbw. When it hadn't gt better after a day r tw, I started t panic. Days became weeks. I stil
l culd nt write r play. Weeks turned int mnths. Opprtunities fr cncerts, recitals, and cmpetitins ca
me and went.
When I wasn't sitting with my instrument, I was punishing myself fr my wn stupidity. My technique ha
d prbably nt been secure enugh fr the demands I was placing n it. But nw it was t late.
Over tw years, I gradually recvered sme arm functin. I was able t play sme early music such as Ha
ndel and Bach, n a barque cell, as the mvements are gentler and lighter. Hwever, the pssibility f my a
rm letting me dwn has never left me.
The turning pint came, unexpectedly, during a phtsht fr an up-t-date picture. The phtgrapher su
ggested I get my cell and see what images f playing might lk like. I hesitated-I-didn’t see myself as a cel
list anymre. But then I fetched it and sat playing snatches f Bach. In that mment, the lens pinting at my in
strument and me, I began t understand smething I had nly half sensed until then. Away frm my cell, my
shadw was missing. Withut it I felt incmplete. But with my instrument I was prtected and entirely happy
in my wn skin.
During that phtcpy I realized I needed t find ut what the cell, and its absence, had meant t ther c
ellists, t understand what it meant t me. S I planned a jurney acrss Eurpe. I encuntered cells destrye
d by war and shipwreck, and even a cell tat had been turned int a beehive. I even played with a resurceful
cellist, wh, having lst the use f his right thumb, ties his bw nt his hand with a bicycle inner tube.
Over the curse f my travels, I learned I was nt alne. Besides, my experience might help thers. I am a
ls beginning t lk fr ways t return t the repertire (曲目) I lved. supprted by a cmmunity f musicia
ns i similar situatins, I nw celebrate every cncert as a step twards healing.

Researchers frm the NeurMind Institute have develped a new system that uses p
redatr(捕食者) rbts t chase(追逐) larval(幼体的) zebrafish in an pen water. This in
nvative apprach is helping scientists' study hw the yung fish rapidly learn and adapt
in real- wrld cnditins.
Larval zebrafish are a valuable tl fr neurscientists because their transparency enables easy study f t
he brain and behavir. Hwever, it's been difficult fr scientists t study learning in these develping vertebrat
es(脊椎动物)—— an imprtant part f understanding hw the brain wrks. Previus research fund yung ze
brafish culd learn simple assciatins. But this type f learning happens slwly and ften unreliably, and it w
as still unclear whether days- ld zebrafish can learn fast enugh t use their memry in natural situatins, lik
e recgnizing and aviding new predatrs.
The researchers thught that traditinal ways f testing learning in larval zebrafish in the lab, where the c
nditins were far frm what the fish wuld encunter in the wild, might nt be effective fr uncvering hw
the fish learn. T mdel a real- life situatin, the researchers used small rbtic cylinders(圆柱体), with sme
prgrammed t shw predatr- like characteristics.
The researchers created the dynamics: they first place that stayed still with a free- swimming zebrafish; a
fter the rbt chased the fish fr a minute, the fish began aviding the rbt's area fr mre than an hur—a bi
g change frm the nn- avidant behavir befre the chase experience. When a secnd rbt was intrduced t
hat did nt chase the fish, the zebrafish nly avided the chasing rbt, shwing that they culd distinguish be
tween a threat and a nn- threat.
Using this system, the researchers made an unexpected discvery that nt nly culd larval zebrafish lear
n extremely quickly in a mre natural cntext, but they culd als d s just five days after beginning their liv
es as single cells. This was particularly surprising given the fact that a develping zebrafish larva cntains just
ne percent r s f the neurns(神经元) in its adult frm. The findings suggest that sme essential learning a
bilities, like recgnizing predatrs, emerge early in life and are critical fr survival.
Further brain imaging reveals that different regins f the zebrafish brain are invlved in this rapid learni
ng: the hindbrain, a regin cntrlling essential functins, respnds t the appraching predatr; the frebrain,
a regin assciated with learning and planning, encdes the presence f the predatr rbt; and the habitual, a
nther brain area, signals avidance utcmes. All these regins are necessary fr learning, and silencing any
f them remves the ability f the fish t learn. It is believed that the new wrk culd ffer insights int hw
ther brains prcess real- wrld threats.
32. Why did the researchers develp a new system with larval zebrafish?
A. T bserve their hunting behavirs. B. T identify their simple assciatins.
C. T examine their brain characteristics. D. T uncver their learning in natural settings.
33. What des the underlined wrd"dynamics"in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Interactin. B. Functin. C. Structure. D. Standard.
34. What can we learn abut larval zebrafish?
A. They can distinguish between rbts and fish.
B. They learn fast thrugh a multi- reginal brain netwrk.
C. They develp learning abilities when reaching adulthd.
D. They can recgnize predatrs with much neurns needed.
35. What will the authr mst prbably discuss in the paragraph that fllws?
A. Explaining the rbt design used in the experiment.
B. Explring danger prcessing in ther species' brains.
C. Analyzing the cnnectin between learning and planning.
D. Describing zebrafish behavirs in different surrundings.

Americans clearly lve their museums. One f the mst famus, New Yrk's MetrplitanMuseum f Art
(the Met), saw a recrd 6.5 millin visitrs in 2015. But recrd attendance desn’t necessarily translate int re
crd revenue. Last mnth, the Met said it was trying t erase a US$10millin budget deficit. Meanwhile, ne
f its rivals, the Museum f Mdern Art (MMA), was abundant in cash, but nly abut three millin peple s
tpped by in 2015. Why d sme museums flurish while ther flunder? My research leads me t believe the
re are three reasns: fashin, billinaires and demgraphics.
First, underlying the Met's financial challenges is the prblem with the acquisitins plicy. Recent direct
rs f the Met did nt add much t the museum's mdern cllectin. The argument was that museums such as t
he MMA were already prviding such wrks in their cllectins and that the acquisitin f cntemprary art
by living artists was prblematic and risky. Hwever, given the fact that museum-gers increasingly favr cn
temprary art, the revenue f the Met will likely fall if it isn't able t keep up with the tastes f the custmers.
And by the time it might recgnize this, it's already t late t d much abut it because the csts t acquire th
e in-demand art is sky-high. This leads t a secnd critical issue-the changing distributin f incme and its ef
fects n museum finance and peratin.
We are living in a bm perid fr cntemprary art. The number f auctins and art fairs has grwn en
rmusly t accmmdate this grwing market. In a wrld with abut 1,800 billinaires, it nly takes a relative
few t drive high-end art prices t astrnmical levels. Wrks by the German artist Gerhard Richter have gen
erated $1.2 billin in sales in recent years. The saring prices mean museums simply can't keep up and must u
sually depend n dnatins t assemble the best wrks, r they' re priced ut. Mrever, billinaires themselv
es are increasingly setting up their wn private museums, further distancing the ability f public museums t g
et the gd stuff.
A third interrelated prblem is that demgraphic issues have put pressure n the revenue side. Unemply
ment, early retirements and the aging f the ppulatin in the US have cntributed t increased attendance at
museums. Yu might think it's a gd thing, but mre traffic means higher csts, and when thse additinal vi
sitrs dn't result in mre revenue, prfitability ges dwn. This is because f the lngstanding mvement t
ward making museums “free” by having individuals, gvernment r businesses “spnsr” the cst. But when t
hat supprt gets reduced by budget csts r anther reasn, museums must either cver the cst themselves r
lse patrns by suddenly charging fees. There is evidence that attendance rises when ecnmic grwth slws,
but that’s als when thse “spnsrs” are mre likely t begin t disappear.
Museums will certainly cntinue t exist and prvide us with invaluable insights int ur culture. But the
y must exist under ecnmic principles, and it'd be wise fr their administratrs t cnsider the ecnmies in t
heir calculatins.
36. Accrding t the authr, .
A. MMA saw a rise in dnatin due t its increased attendance
B. the Met failed t respnd t the artistic tastes f mdern visitrs
C. the Met cnsidered wrks f the living artists as questinable
D. MMA added t its mdern cllectin despite the budget deficit
37. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Billinaires cntrl art auctins t price ut public museums.
B. The bm f mdern art will lead visitrs t private museums.
C. The increase in visitrs can hurt the prfitability f museums.
D. Ecnmic slwdwns result in a weakened interest in museums.
38. What is the authr’s attitude twards the future f museums in the US?
A. Cautius. B. Dubtful. C. Pessimistic. D. Uncertain.
39. Which is the best title f the passage?
A. Hw can Museums Bst Revenues?

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There is cnsiderable evidence frm studies with adults that vlunteering benefits a persn’s physical an
d mental health. 40 A 2023 analysis suggested that yung peple wh had participated in cmmunity
service were mre likely t be in excellent health and stayed calm when faced with challenges.
41 It culd be that the children vlunteers were already in great health. But because f an alarming
rise in mental health issues amng yung peple, envirnmental health scientists believe this early evidence is
prmising enugh t pursue. A 2021 advisry warned that the number f yung peple reprting cnstant fee
lings f sadness r hpelessness had increased by 40 percent ver the previus decade. There are multiple ps
sible causes, including anxiety ver climate change, the effects f scial media use and unfriendly persnal cir
cumstances.
T address these prblems, researchers pint t the imprtance f“cntributin” as an essential piece f
scial and emtinal develpment fr teenagers. Vlunteering is ne gd way yung peple can cntribute.
42 In 2022, develpmental psychlgist Parissa Ballard and her clleagues tested vlunteering as an inte
rventin fr nine 14-t-20-year-lds wh had been recently diagnsed with mild t mderate depressin r an
xiety. After 30 hurs f vlunteer wrk at cmmunity rganizatins, the average reductin in depressive symp
tms was 19 percent.
What accunts fr the benefits? Helping thers imprves md and raises cnfidence. It prvides rich gr
und fr building scial cnnectins. It als changes hw yung peple see themselves. Many teens dn’t feel
imprtant. 43
There may be a ptential dwnside t vlunteering, hwever. 44 “Yung peple have t chse sm
ething that feels meaningful t them,” Ballard says. Adults can help by ffering chices and checking vlunt
eer pprtunities t be sure that rganizatins are well run and equipped t ffer a gd experience.
A. Admittedly, this finding nly shws cnnectins.
B. Nw scientists are finding similar links in children and teenagers.
C. This imprvement was in cmparisn with yung peple wh did nt vlunteer.
D. The sense f mattering t thers translates really well t their needs t cnnect and belng.
E. Everyne in the study enjyed the wrk and reprted a sense f pride and accmplishment.
F. The experience can be harmful if yung peple feel like they are being frced t participate.
G. Vlunteering gives them a different sense f themselves, a sense f cnfidence and self-value.

Hw Gratitude Makes Yu Happier
Chsing t be thankful may well be an easy and accessible way t bst yur happiness. We usually thin
k f happiness as a subjective sense f well-being, a feeling f jy and satisfactin. But mre than just an em
tin r fleeting (短暂的) feeling, happiness als includes a deep sense f meaning, wrth and purpse in life.
Gratitude supprts happiness in ways related t all f these.
Research has shwn gratitude has far-reaching effects n ur physical health. When peple are thankful, t
hey' re mre likely t exercise, eat better, and take care f their health. Much evidence pints t lwer stress, r
educed pain and imprved immune systems as a result f being thankful. Even better bld pressure and psiti
ve effects n the heart have been linked t gratitude.
Gratitude has a strng psitive impact n mental health as well. It increases self-esteem, enhances psitiv
e emtins and makes us mre ptimistic since experiencing gratitude activates neurtransmitters like dpami
ne, which we assciate with pleasure, and sertnin, which regulates ur md. It als prmtes feelings like
trust and genersity, which are induced by xytcin, a hrmne released by the brain.
Just like a muscle, thankfulness is smething we need t exercise mre ften. One way is t learn frm th
e Scandinavians, wh, the UN's Wrld Happiness Reprt suggests, are the happiest peple in the wrld. It's w
rth pausing t think abut why. Scandinavians themselves are determining their levels f happiness. They are
appreciative f a functining sciety where they have ecnmic security and where scial institutins supprt
everyne. Yet, there is smething else. They value"mderatin", a just enugh-ness. They dn't chase happine
ss r wrk vertime fr mnths at a time. They remain grateful fr a healthy wrk-life balance. As a result f t
his satisfactin and cntentment, they feel their lives have value.
S, take sme time t be thankful. It can impact yur happiness and enhance many aspects f yur life.
45. What des happiness include besides what we usually think?
46. On what des gratitude have a psitive influence?
47. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
Scandinavians dn't wrk vertime fr mnths at a time because they feel their lives have value.
48. Hw can yu exercise being grateful? (In abut 40 wrds)
