Her best friend Sphia's prtrait shwed her medical textbks and dance shes, describing her cmplex 7 . "These aren't just paintings," Maya said, her vice gaining strength gradually. "These are 8 shwing each f yu hw remarkable yu truly are." The standing applause lasted several minutes. Maya realized her ability t help peple 9 themselves with cmpassin, curisity and wnder.

Gd manners used t mean simple curtesy (礼节) and being kind. Tday it seems we may fear ding r saying the wrng thing, and fr gd reasn. Given the pwer f the Internet, a faux pas (失礼) can mean lsing a friend — r yur jb.
Cvering the ins and uts f civil behavir fr the past 20 - plus years, I have learned that, frtunately, gd intentins never g ut f style. Even better, science tells us that acts f kindness are infectius: If I treat yu right, yu’re mre likely t treat the next persn better.
TO HOLD OR NOT TO HOLD — THE DOOR
Q: My husband always pens drs fr wmen (he's ver 80). But the yunger wmen cast him a lk f pure shck and rush past him withut a thank - yu. S sad, why has such a basic kindness gne ut f style?
— J Garcia
A: Let me uncmplicate things: If I'm first t the dr, I'm ging t pull it pen and let yu g first, whether yu’re a man r a wman. A push dr can be awkward, but I’ll usually g thrugh first (with my mst charming "Allw me") and then hld it fr yu. I give the same advice t my sister (and all wmen): First ne there pens the dr and hlds it.
The ne time t break the rule: If the persn ahead f yu needs assistance r is much lder, step up and pen the dr. And fr thse f us n the receiving end f a dr kindness, I hpe we all say “Thank yu” as we pass by.
NO THANK-YOU NOTES=NO MORE GIFTS?
Q: It especially bthers me when I give a child a gift and there is n acknwledgement frm the parent r the child. What are my ptins?
— Sharn Taft
A: I’m the quick - witted uncle t three nieces, which means I rely n humr t make a pint. One time, several weeks after the hlidays had gne by, I e - mailed ne f the girls: “I can’t thank yu enugh fr thank - yu nte.” That inspired a quick, and guilty, thank - yu frm her. Then there was the year I byctted (抵制) them: n gifts. Yu bet they nticed, and they did a fine jb with their thank - yu e - mails nce I resumed gift giving. (Yes, e - mail is just fine, especially when cmpared with the alternative — n respnse.)
But I learned a lessn, t: I try my best t thank thse wh express kindness t me, whether it’s a flight attendant helping me with a bag r these same nieces — nw yung adults — wh recently made an amazing dinner fr ur family. There’s a thery that gratitude begets gratitude. I believe that nw.
34. Bth J Garcia and Sharn Taft are puzzled by ______.
A. why sme gd manners are ut f date
B. what kindness means t yung adults
C. why kindness is nt infectius nwadays
D. what makes yung peple s rude
35. Which statement is the writer mst likely t agree with?
A. Men shuld always hld the dr fr wmen.
B. It is always necessary t express ur gratitude
C. J shuld remind her husband f his impliteness.
D. Being humrus matters mre than being plite.
36. What can we infer frm the uncle’s experience f byctting gifts fr his nieces?
A. sending a thank - yu email is wrse than nt expressing gratitude at all.
B. The nieces didn’t care abut whether they received gifts frm their uncle at all.
C. The uncle resumed giving gifts t his nieces after they expressed their appreciatin.
D. The absence f gifts made the nieces realize they shuld have expressed gratitude.

In the race t dcument the species n Earth befre they g extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have cllected billins f recrds. Tday, mst recrds f bidiversity are ften in the frm
f phts, vides, and ther digital recrds. Thugh they are useful fr detecting shifts in the number
and variety f species in an area, a new Stanfrd study has fund that this type f recrd is nt
perfect.
"With the rise f technlgy it is easy fr peple t make bservatins f different species
with the aid f a mbile applicatin," said Barnabas Daru, wh is lead authr f the study and
assistant prfessr f bilgy in the Stanfrd Schl f Humanities and Sciences. "These
bservatins nw utnumber the primary data that cmes frm physical specimens (标本), and since
we are increasingly using bservatinal data t investigate hw species are respnding t glbal
change, I wanted t knw: Are they usable?"
Using a glbal dataset f 1.9 billin recrds f plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his
team tested hw well these data represent actual glbal bidiversity patterns.
"We were particularly interested in explring the aspects f sampling that tend t bias (使有偏
差) data, like the greater likelihd f a citizen scientist t take a picture f a flwering plant instead
f the grass right next t it," said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number f bservatin - nly recrds did nt lead t better
glbal cverage. Mrever, these data are biased and favr certain regins, time perids, and species.
This makes sense because the peple wh get bservatinal bidiversity data n mbile devices are
ften citizen scientists recrding their encunters with species in areas nearby. These data are als
biased tward certain species with attractive r eye - catching features.
What can we d with the imperfect datasets f bidiversity?
"Quite a lt," Daru explained. "Bidiversity apps can use ur study results t infrm users f
versampled areas and lead them t places — and even species — that are nt well - sampled. T
imprve the quality f bservatinal data, bidiversity apps can als encurage users t have an
expert cnfirm the identificatin f their upladed image."
37. What d we knw abut the recrds f species cllected nw?
A. They are becming utdated.B. They are mstly in electrnic frm.
C. They are limited in number.D. They are used fr public exhibitin.
38. What des Daru's study fcus n?
A. Threatened species.B. Physical specimens.C. Observatinal data.D. Mbile applicatins.
39. What has led t the biases accrding t the study?
A. Imprper way f sampling.B. Pr quality f upladed pictures.
C. Mistakes in data analysis.D. Unreliable data cllectin devices.
40. What is Daru's suggestin fr bidiversity apps?
A. Review data frm certain areas.B. Hire experts t check the recrds.
C. Cnfirm the identity f the users.D. Give guidance t citizen scientists.

Visit any antiques stre and yu'll encunter artifacts frm the past: phtgraphs, letters, a brchure detailing the delicate dinsaur exhibit frm the 1964 — 1965 Wrld's Fair, the ephemera (短暂现象) f histry. Yet these bjects aren't truly ephemeral, because they're still here, decades, even centuries later. Why? Because they're tangible.
Have yu pndered the life cycle f intangible frmats, digital infrmatin, given that thse wh prduce these artifacts seldm plan fr their lng - term preservatin? Fr millennia, we've knwn what we've knwn due t artifacts that have survived, ften despite their riginal creatrs' neglect. The thing itself is the medium that delivers the infrmatin. At the time f creatin, n attempts were made at intentinal preservatin, yet analgus materials (实体材料) have a chance f surviving and serving as the histrical recrd that bigraphers, histrians, and nvelists rely n. Libraries and archives have traditinally shuldered the respnsibility f rganizatin, preservatin, and access t infrmatin. Thus, librarians digitize the tangible s that researchers anywhere can quickly search and access their hldings. The result is an embarrassment f histrical riches, which brings its wn needle - and - haystack prblems.
Librarians' selfless devtin can act against us when users pint t universality f access by hlding up a cellphne and saying, “It's all in here” as evidence that libraries are less vital fr researchers tday. Yet hw was that universality f access made pssible and, perhaps mre imprtantly, hw is it maintained? Wh curates what is preserved? When it cmes t brn - digital infrmatin, the terrifying answer can be: if nt librarians and archivists, then n ne. Digital infrmatin requires a great deal mre care than analg.
Even when a digital bject is preserved, it may nly be the carrier that's saved, nt the infrmatin itself. As technlgy advances and a frmat becmes bslete, the bject is useless. Have yu ever stared helplessly at a ZIP disk, thinking: hw d I get the files ff this? Withut cnstant migratin f digital assets, a nightmare abut the freseeable future is what keeps histrians up at night: a histrical recrd that abruptly stps when digital replaces analg.
As a librarian whse day jb revlves arund special cllectins and digital assets, I share the night terrrs f histrians, and I'd be lying if I said a cmprehensive preservatin slutin currently exists. Yet researchers can take sme cmfrt in the fact that there are a multitude f librarians devted t discvering, rganizing, and preserving digital infrmatin fr researchers current and
future. Librarians are uniquely psitined t understand hw end users seek and use infrmatin. Thus, we play an indispensable rle in identifying, preserving, and prviding accessibility t digital artifacts s that, while future researchers may find the digital realm a challenging place t practice their prfessin, they wn't find it an impssible ne.
41. The authr mentins the artifacts frm the past t ______.
A. intrduce the cllectin f antiquesB. cntrast them with everyday items
C. bring up the issue f preservatinD. cmment n their histrical value
42. Cmpared with digital bjects, tangible artifacts ______.
A. are less subject t their creatrs' neglect
B. cnvey infrmatin in a mre direct way
C. require mre intentinal preservatin
D. are less likely t suffer serius damage
43. Accrding t Paragraph 3, librarians' wrk may result in ______.
A. versupply f materialsB. undervaluatin f libraries
C. researchers' underperfrmanceD. users' verreliance n technlgy
44. Which f the fllwing statements best summarizes the text?
A. Hard wrk shuld be dne t preserve artifacts.
B. Keeping digital histrical recrds is a challenge.
C. Accessing databases is essential t researchers.
D. Cntributins f librarians shuld be recgnized.

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. 45 .
Kindness seems like a distant memry. The ability t live peacefully with annying husemates r neighbrs seems mre difficult than ever. 46 If we treat kindness as a skill and make it a daily practice, it will cme mre easily ver time.
47 . Lving - 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. 48 .
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.” 49 . 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.
A. The gd news is that it isn't lst
B Luckily, we can lk t ancient disciplines fr guidance.
C. Then, extend the blessing t ther peple, in rder f decreasing fndness.
D. At wrk, we have had t take the pressure these demanding crate.
E. fr that reasn, we culd all benefit frm lve's warm and cmfrting blessing
F. Yu can cmbine the wrds with breathing, repeating a phrase f lve fr yurself.
G Outside, we have encuntered drivers speeding n busy rads and passengers talking ludly n the subway

阅读下面的短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Anna Du was walking alng the beach at Castle Island in Suth Bstn when she nticed plastic scattered acrss the shreline. She bent dwn t pick sme up but quickly realized there were far t many tiny pieces t handle. “When I saw hw much plastic there was, it seemed impssible t clean it all up, ” recalls Du, wh was in sixth grade at the time. Instead f giving up, Du tackled the prblem like any gd scientist—starting with research. That's hw she discvered that 8 millin tns f plastic end up in the ceans every year.
Inspired by her findings, Du decided t build a remte - perated vehicle (ROV) t detect micrplastics n the cean flr. Her ROV, made frm PVC pipes, features tw main systems: a navigatin system and a detectin system. The navigatin system uses prpellers and a cmbinatin f fishing weights and fam flats (lightweight materials that keep the device flating) t mve up and dwn. The detectin system, hwever, is the real innvatin. It uses infrared cameras (红外相机) and light wavelengths t spt micrplastics, making them stand ut against sand and plants. Actually, the device desn't cllect micrplastics, but it identifies where they accumulate. Du has even applied
fr a patent n the Rv's key cmpnents.
Faced with the challenge f lcating cean micrplastics—unlike the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, these are nt flating n the surface—she knew an ROV wuld be the mst efficient tl. Taking water samples and analyzing them in a lab culd never be dne n the scale needed. Instead, she needed a mbile lab t detect plastics in - situ (在现场).
Her ROV impressed many experts with its clever design. “She has an impressive engineering instinct,” says Casey Mach Ad, an engineer at the Wds Hle Oceangraphic Institutin. “Her ability t break dwn prblems and create slutins is remarkable.”
“I want t be an engineer because I lve building things t help slve glbal prblems,” says Du. “But I'm nt sure yet what kind f engineer I want t be.” At her age, she has plenty f time t figure that ut.
