On a sunny Sunday mrning, I went t my first ballet class. But I didn't d any dancing. This was Class n Stage, a rare pprtunity t watch dancers warm up during their daily 75 - minute class. I went in knwing that I wuld be impressed by the physicality f it. Tp athletes aren't brn; they're made.
Frty - five minutes int the class, the dancers didn't even lk tired. While watching dancers quietly pile (下蹲屈膝) with cmplete cntrl was calming, watching the flr exercises that came next was anything but. The sequences were shrt but became increasingly cmplicated, s I stpped
paying attentin t the directins I culdn't fllw, and simply allwed myself t bserve the remarkable results. At the end f the class, I applauded and watched the dancers leave the stage. They had already accmplished s much with their day, and I was left in cmplete awe, nt just f my inadequacy, but als f their effrt.
As I headed hme, I tried t think f the last time I wrked as hard as thse dancers at anything in my wn life. S much has been made easier by technlgy: I can listen t any sng I want, whenever I want. I can have pretty much anything delivered. I can stay in tuch with friends withut making the time t see them. But instead f taking shrtcuts, maybe I shuld lk fr challenges. Because nce yu start ding challenging things, they becme easier, and then yu knw yu can d them.
With the determinatin and discipline f ballet dancers still fresh in my mind, I cmmit t ding sme hard things: I get back in the habit f practicing a language I've been trying t learn. I lift heavier weights. I take the stairs. I write the essay.
Nthing demands as much f me as what ballet demands f thse dancers every day. They inspire me. S, I guess what I'm trying t say is that smetimes a fitness class can change yur life, even if yu're nt the ne taking it.

A. She was amazed by hw hard the dancers wrked.
B. She regretted nt putting mre effrt int ballet.
C. She believed she culd face life's difficulties better.
D. She felt embarrassed abut her wn lack f determinatin.
43. By mentining the technlgy that has made life easier, the writer means that ______.
A. Technlgy allws peple t avid difficult tasks
B. Using technlgy helps imprve wrk efficiency
C. A simple life requires rejecting mdern tls
D. Technlgy's cnvenience may reduce mtivatin t seek challenges
44. What has the writer learned frm her first ballet lessn?
A. Fitness classes build bth bdy and mind strength.
B. We shuld push urselves t seek challenges fr self - imprvement.
C. Difficult things are wrth trying as lng as yu enjy ding them.
D. Watching thers practice ballet is a gd way t imprve urselves.
45. What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. Fitness classes are f n significance.

"Future Mail" service can make peple slw dwn and let them understand the meaning f "time" in anther way. And "Future Mail" letters are "reminders f affectin, friendship and lve".
Lin Xia fan, a senir high schl student in Hefei, wrte a letter t her mther in advance t express her lve t her mther fr next Mther's Day. Feng Xia, a yuth wh feels pressure despite f sme achievements in her career decided t write a letter t herself n her 25th birthday and have it delivered five years later n her 30th birthday thrugh a "Future Mail".

Why d sme dreams seem t fllw us? Maybe yu've dreamed f flying like a bird since childhd, r recently revisited a particular place while asleep. Or perhaps a bad day at wrk still brings abut exam nightmares, even thugh yu're n lnger a student.
Yu're nt alne. Recurring (重复发生的) dreams are surprisingly cmmn, with research shwing that up t 75 percent f adults experience at least ne during their lifetime. These dreams may repeat in nearly identical frm r feature recurring themes, places, r characters with different backdrps. This makes them distinct frm nightmares caused by pst - traumatic stress disrder (PTSD, 创伤后应激障碍), which tend t fcus n specific memries with little variatin. Experts are still unsure why we have recurring dreams, but studies are uncvering patterns in their cntent and causes.
Research suggests that recurring dreams are ften negative. A 2022 study by Michael Schredl fund that tw - thirds f adults described their recurring dreams as "negatively tned," invlving situatins like being chased r failing at smething. Psitive recurring dreams, by cntrast, ften invlve flying r discvering new places. The reasn fr the frequency f negative dreams isn't fully understd. Schredl believes dreams blw up emtins r situatins frm ur waking life. A small wrry can becme a larger fear in a dream, thugh the cnnectin isn't always clear.
Psychlgy ffers further insight. Peple tend t fcus mre n negative thughts and emtins. During sleep, parts f the brain assciated with lgic are less active, while emtinal regins becme mre engaged, which can clud the distinctin between thughts and feelings.
Negative recurring dreams are nrmal and manageable. Experts suggest techniques like imagery rehearsal therapy, where peple reimagine their nightmares with psitive endings, and maintaining healthy sleep habits—like keeping a cnsistent sleep schedule, limiting screen use, and aviding caffeine r alchl befre bed—can help reduce their frequency.
51. What is the key difference between recurring dreams and PTSD - related nightmares?
A. Recurring dreams fllw fixed patterns and identical backgrunds.
B. Recurring dreams always feature rdinary figures r characters.
C. Recurring dreams invlve varied situatins r backdrps.D. Recurring dreams fcus n specific traumatic memries.
52. Accrding t the 2022 study, Which f the fllwing dreams is likely t happen mre frequently?
A. Dreams f discvering a new cave.B. Dreams f winning a lttery.
C. Dreams f reuniting with lved nes.D. Dreams f lsing a match.
53. Hw d emtinal brain regins functin during sleep?
