One f my bad habits is saying “busy” when peple ask me hw I’m ding. Smetimes it’s because I actually am busy, but ther times it’s because that’s what I think I’m suppsed t say. That’s what imprtant peple say. That’s what peple wh get prmted say. But wrking lng hurs desn’t drive better results. Never taking a vacatin wn’t lead t a prmtin. S why are we s prud t talk abut hw busy we are all the time?
In 2016, researchers frm Clumbia, Harvard, and Gergetwn cnducted a study t figure it ut. They fund busy peple are perceived t be f high status, and interestingly, these status attributins are heavily influenced by ur wn beliefs abut scial mbility. In ther wrds, the mre we believe that ne has the pprtunity fr success based n hard wrk, the mre we tend t think that peple wh skip leisure and wrk all the time are f higher standing.
That’s why we feel like we have t appear busy, and there’s a real perceptin that if smene is knee-deep in meetings, e-mails, and stress, then they’re prbably a big deal. This culture f busyness is making it hard fr emplyees t find wrk-life balance. Accrding t a recent study, ne in five highly engaged emplyees is at risk f burnut.
Persnally, I’m ging t stp saying “busy” when peple ask me hw I am. It sunds self-righteus and sets the wrng tne. Phrases like “I have limited access t e-mail” and “I’ll respnd as sn as I get back” sund like yu’re being held back frm wrking against yur will as ppsed t making the mst f yur time ff.
By rejecting the myth that busyness equals wrth, we free urselves and thers frm
exhaustin. True success isn’t abut wrking harder; it’s abut wrking smarter and finding balance. Let’s redefine what it means t be prductive—and start valuing rest as much as effrt.
Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic in the first paragraph?
By quting famus peple.B. By presenting statistical data.
C. By cmparing different pinins.D. By intrducing persnal experience.
Why d we tend t think that busy peple are f high status?
Our status can be attributed t ur scial mbility.
We hld the belief that hard wrk leads t success.
Our wn pprtunity fr success never cmes easily.
We find few peple f high status have time fr leisure.
What des the underlined phrase “knee-deep in” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
Bred with.B. Wrried abut.
C. Fully invlved in.D. Very interested in.
What is the authr’s purpse in writing the passage?
T advise emplyees n hw t achieve wrk-life balance.
T share his persnal experience f vercming a bad habit.
T intrduce a study n peple’s attitude tward busyness.
T argue against the culture f equating busyness with wrth.

The ability t detect a nearby presence withut seeing r tuching it may sund fantastical—but it’s a real ability that sme creatures have. A family f African fish knwn as Mrmyrids are weakly electric, and have special rgans that can lcate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have nw develped an artificial sensr system mdelled n the ability f these fish.
“We develped a new strategy fr 3D mtin psitining by electrnic skin, bi-inspired by ‘electric fish’,” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an assciate prfessr in the Department f Bimedical Engineering at the City University f Hng Kng. The team described their e-skin sensr in a paper published n Nvember 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensr is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter, which will generate an electric field nce activated, and anther layer acts as a receiver t detect bth
the directin and the distance t an bject. A separate cntrller creates the driving signal t activate the transmitter. When an bject cmes within range, the electric field arund the sensr is disrupted, which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then prcessed by the micrcntrller unit, which cmputers the psitin f the target bject and sends that infrmatin t a smartphne r ther devices.
A special hydrgel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensr, which has the ability t transmit
and receive electric signals frm a pattern f micrchannels n the surface. The end result is a sensr that is thin, sft and flexible, making it csy t adapt t irregular surfaces, such as the human bdy. In cntrast t the traditinal sensr system that needs a large number f sensrs t achieve spatial psitining, the new system can lcate an bject precisely in 3D space using just a few sensrs. This significantly reduces the pwer cnsumptin f data cllectin, transmissin and prcessing.
The researchers hpe that this sensr culd ne day pen up a new range f wearable technlgies, including sensrs fr human-machine interactin and thin, flexible e-skin.
The first paragraph aims t shw .
the special ability f African fishB. the inspiratin fr a new inventin
C. the big challenge f lcating bjects D. the reasn fr develping a sensr
What is the crrect rder f the system’s wrking prcedures?
The transmitter creates an electric field.
A unit cmputes the psitin f the target.
The cntrller sends the activating signal.
The receiver detects the change f electric signals.
The electric field is disrupted by an appraching bject.
A. c-a-e-d-bB. c-a-d-e-bC. a-c-e-d-bD. a-e-c-d-b
What is an advantage f the new sensr system?
Its sensitivity t different stimulatins.
Its adaptatin t envirnmental changes.
Its efficiency in achieving 3D psitining.
Its speed in data cllectin and prcessing.
What is the best title fr the text?

Hw d yu tell if smething is real r imaginary? We have nw discvered a brain pathway that seems t help yu decide, which culd imprve treatments fr hallucinatins (幻觉) caused by cnditins like Parkinsn’s disease.
We already knw that the parts f the brain that activate when we imagine smething
visual are similar t thse invlved in seeing actual visual bjects, but it is unclear hw we distinguish between the tw.
T find ut, Nadine Dijkstra and her clleagues asked 26 peple t carry ut a visual task while their brain activity was recrded via MRI scans. The participants had t view a still gray blck n a screen fr 2 secnds, in a prcess repeated mre than 100 times. They were als instructed t imagine seeing diagnal lines n each blck, thugh half f the blcks really did have diagnal lines. After viewing each blck, the participants were asked t rate hw vividly they saw the lines n a scale f 1 t 4 and say whether they thught the lines were real r imaginary.
By analyzing the brain recrdings, the researchers fund that an area called the fusifrm gyrus was mre active when peple saw lines mre vividly. Crucially, when the activity in the fusifrm gyrus rse abve a certain level, this led t a jump in activity in an area called the anterir insula, leading peple t judge smething as real.
While it is unlikely that these brain regins are the nly nes invlved in deciding what is real versus imaginary, further explratin f this pathway culd deepen ur understanding f hw t treat visual hallucinatins caused by cnditins like Parkinsn’s disease.
Why did Dijkstra’s team cnduct the study?
T advance MRI scanning technlgy.
T map different functins f the brain.
T knw hw brains tell real frm imaginary.
T explre an immediate cure fr hallucinatins.
What were participants required t d in the experiment?
Decide if the lines really existed.
Cunt the blcks with diagnal lines.
Identify the clr f blcks in 2 secnds.
View blcks with real diagnal lines nly.
What rle des the fusifrm gyrus play accrding t the findings?
It makes diagnal lines real.
It prduces imaginary diagnal lines.
It lessens the anterir insula’s activity.
It reflects vividness f visual experiences.
What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
Practical treatments fr Parkinsn’s.B. Medical significance f the findings.
C. Eager anticipatin fr ther studies.D. Further analysis f the experiment.

What’s scial jet lag? Scial jet lag ccurs when yu stay up later and then sleep in later n weekends than yu d n weekdays. Changing the hurs that yu sleep frm day t day affects yur bdy’s natural internal clck.
Scial jet lag affects the bdy similarly t travel jet lag. When yu shift yur sleeping
hurs, yur bdy feels as if it were in a different time zne. 36 Fr example, if yu stay up late n Saturday night and then sleep in n Sunday mrning, yu will likely have a hard time falling asleep n Sunday night. This is because yur bdy has nt been awake fr enugh hurs t feel tired at yur usual Sunday bedtime. 37
Yet, frequently changing yur bdy’s internal clck desn’t just cause daytime sleepiness.
38 Scial jet lag has been linked t several chrnic health prblems. Changes in the internal clck caused by incnsistent sleeping hurs lead t changes in the circulatry ( 血液循环的) system and raise the risk f heart disease. Individuals wh regularly experience scial jet lag are als mre likely t smke cigarettes and cnsume mre caffeine. These habits can significantly influence sleep.
Sticking t yur sleep schedule is an imprtant part f addressing scial jet lag. 39 A 2019 study fund that when participants kept their sleep and wake up times within 15 t 30 minutes f the same time each day, they reprted better sleep, less depressin, and less stress. Study participants were als able t imprve their cgnitive reactin time scres.
40 If yu usually change yur regular sleep schedule n weekends, it may be time t try t keep a mre cnsistent ne. While it may feel difficult t keep the same sleeping hurs each day, yu will likely ntice the health benefits right away.
It can significantly impact yur health as well.
This can make falling and staying asleep difficult.
Mrever, establishing a regular sleep schedule is crucial.
Adjust yur sleep schedule, and everything will be OK.
This likely makes waking up early n Mnday mrning difficult.
Aim t g t bed at the same time every day, even n weekends.
In general, scial jet lag is a cmmn prblem that we may all experience.

It was a rainy Saturday afternn, and 16-year-ld Mia sat n the prch, staring at the rain frming puddles in the driveway. Her dad, a single parent, had lst his jb last mnth, and their car had brken dwn that mrning. “We need t get t the hspital,” Dad had said, his vice tight—Mia’s little brther, Le, had a high fever and was struggling t breathe. But with n car and n mney fr a taxi, they were stuck.
Mia wrapped her arms arund herself, listening t Le’s weak cughs frm inside. She’d checked their savings jar earlier—nly $12. Nt nearly enugh fr even a shrt taxi ride, let alne the hspital bills that she knew wuld cme. The rain tapped harder n the rf, as if adding t their wrry. Just then, Mr. Carter, their elderly neighbr, appeared at the gate, hlding an umbrella. He’d lived next dr fr years, always sitting n his prch reading newspapers, smetimes waving slightly if they passed by, but they’d rarely spken beynd a quick “hell.” “Heard the little ne’s sick?” he asked, rain dripping frm the brim f his ld canvas hat. Mia ndded, biting her lip t hld back tears—she hated feeling s helpless.
Mr. Carter stepped clser. “My car is in the garage. It’s ld, but it runs. Let’s get him t the dctr.” Mia’s eyes widened. “Really? But the rain?” “Rain never stpped a Carter frm helping a neighbr,” he said. Withut anther wrd, he turned and hurried tward the garage. Mments later, the ld car rumbled t life and pulled up t the curb in frnt f the huse. Dad hurried ut with Le in his arms, and Mr. Carter helped tuck the by int the back seat.
By the time they reached the hspital, Le’s fever had gne dwn a little. Nurses rushed him t a small examinatin rm, asking Dad t stay by his side t answer questins. Mia waited in the lbby, her hands shaking as she thught abut the mney they didn’t have. She decided t get a cup f water t calm herself, stepping tward the water dispenser (饮水机) near the receptin desk.

Mr. Carter slid a crumpled envelpe t the receptinist, saying, “Settle their medical bills first.” When he turned and sptted Mia, he gave a faint smile: “Yur dad fixed my wbbly prch step last mnth.
