When Sara Weaner Cper and her husband bught their first hme in Pennsylvania,they didn’t want a neat,
plain lawn (草坪) like the neighburs. They wanted a wild, living garden full fdifferent plants and animals.
It was a brave idea, t be sure, cnsidering it invlved changing their entire lawn when they were new t the
neighburhd. Thankfully, Weaner Cper had ideal supprt fr the prject-her father is Larry Weaner, a famus
eclgical landscape designer. The landscape design style he uses relies mainly n native plants, aiming t wrk
with hw they want t grw rather than frcing them int particular areas.
Weaner Cper had always wanted t fcus n native plants in her lawn and d less lawn-cutting s
rewilding their frnt lawn felt like the right but tugh mve. The lawn gets full sunlight and cvers mre than 1,500
square metres. It was planted with narrw-leaved grass t lk unifrm, s they needed t replace it befre turning
the area int a natural meadw(草地). It was a great challenge. Instead f tearing ut all the grass and lking at an
ugly brwn yard fr mnths, they planted native seeds and small plants right int the lawn and hped the new
plants wuld slwly push the grass ut.
It tkabut tw years, lts f planning, sme careful weeding, and sme trial and errr, but eventually a mix
f waist-high native plant species blanketed their vast frnt lawn.
“Meadwscaping”, r turning a traditinal lawn int a meadw, is a fast-grwing trend experts in the field are
nticing, especially amng yunger generatins wh tend t be mre climate-aware. Cmpared t lawns,
meadws-pen landscapes filled with varius nn-wdy plants such as tall grasses, flwers and herbs-are less
expensive t maintain,require less water and energy and help sequester mre CO2. Mst imprtantly, they als
encurage bidiversity and they’re typically mre appealing t pllinatrs (传粉者), which are keystne species n
which ecsystems depend.
4. What cnclusin can we draw abut Larry Weaner’s landscape design philsphy?
A. He believes in cntrlling plant grwth strictly.
B. He values artificial appearance ver natural grwth.
C. He cnsiders lawns better than meadws fr bidiversity.
D. He advcates fr harmnizing with nature.
5. What was the primary challenge when the Cpers transfrmed their lawn?
A. Lack f supprt frm neighburs.
B. The large-sized and unifrm grass.
C. Insufficient knwledge f native plants.
D. High csts f eclgical landscape design.
6. What des the underlined wrd “sequester” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Absrb. B. Release. C. Fix. D. Detect.
7. What is the main benefit f “meadwscaping“ accrding t the text?
A. Prmting bidiversity. B. Attracting mre insects.
C. Increasing prperty values. D. Reducing cutting frequency.

In the lden days nightmares were thught t take away the dreamer’s life-energy. Tday we knw there are
n bad spirits, but nightmares can still hurt yur health. Almst everyne has nightmares. But it is amng thse
wh have them weekly-smewhere between 2% and 6% f the ppulatin-that cnnectins with ill-health seem t
arise. Sme links are t be expected.
Depressin, anxiety, and stress disrder, fr example, all have nightmares as a cmmn symptm. The same
ges fr lng-standing pain. But ther cnnectins are hard t understand.
Abidemi Otaiku is a prfessr at Imperial Cllege Lndn. His mst recent wrk, presented in June at a
cnference in Helsinki, shws that frequent nightmares are strnger predictrs f early death than smking, being
very verweight r pr diet. Dr Otaiku reached this cnclusin by analyzing six lng-term studies frm America
and Britain, invlving mre than 180,000 adults and almst 2,500 children. Thse with frequent (at least weekly)
nightmares were three times mre likely t die befre the age f 70 than, thse wh had them less than nce a
mnth. Out f 174 peple wh died prematurely, 31 had frequent nightmares.
He fund that peple wh ften have nightmares seem t have lder-lking chrmsmes (染色体),
prbably because bad dreams raise stress. These chrmsme changes might explain abut 40% f their higher
chance f dying early. Where the ther 60% cmes frm is unknwn.
All f these suggest paying attentin t nightmares is a gd idea. Where they are a symptm, they can warn
f truble ahead. And where they are a cause, treatments t reduce nightmares can be undertaken as a pririty.
Treating nightmares is harder than sptting them. And certain drugs, such as prazsin (rdinarily used t treat
high bld pressure), may assist. But the study f nightmares remains an underexplred field f medicine. That
needs t change.
8. What did peple lng ag think abut nightmares?
A. They were harmful t health. B. They stle life-energy at night.
C. They were signs f early death. D. They were cmmn amng peple.
9. What can we knw frm Dr Otaiku’s research?
A. Smking is mre dangerus than frequent nightmares.
B. Premature death is mainly caused by frequent nightmares.
C. Children are mre likely t have frequent nightmares than adults.
D. Frequent nightmares may have a serius effect n peple’s health.
10. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph abut the study f nightmares?
A. Prazsin is a prven cure fr nightmares. B. Nightmares lead t high bld pressure.
C. It requires mre attentin and research. D. It has made great prgress in curing nightmares.
11. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Nightmares: A Hidden Health Warning B. The Current Treatments fr Nightmares
C. Nightmares: A Fully-Reslved Medical Issue D. The Histrical Beliefs Abut Nightmares

We live in a sciety that’s crazy abut winning. Gld medals, bestseller lists,champinships, and Nbel
Prizes are the markers f hnur. The sptlight shines brightest n the peple wh crssed the finishing line first,
while thse wh came clse slip int the shadws.
But the “almsts” shuldn’t be verlked. The runner wh lses by a secnd, the inventr with a
mistimed idea, and the pet whse wrds gain significance later all cntribute significantly. Their effrts ften
shape the wrld in ways we nly ntice later. They’re nt failures; instead, they test bundaries and smetimes
drive sciety frward mre than celebrated victrs.
Nikla Tesla a genius vershadwed by Thmas Edisn in his lifetime, had brave visins like wireless
pwer. He died pr, yet his innvatins are everywhere in ur daily lives. Emily Dickinsn’s pems were
ignred during her life but later revlutinized.American petry. Katherine Jhnsn, a NASA mathematician,
made spaceflight pssible,but her wrk was unrecgnized fr decades. These ”almsts“ shw that falling shrt
desn’t mean lacking impact.
Pineers wh break new grund ften dn’t get the hnur. Rsalind Franklin’s X-ray images f DNA
were crucial fr a majr scientific discvery, but Watsn and Crick received the Nbel Prize. Vincent van Ggh
sld nly ne painting in his life and struggled with pverty. His fame and the value f his wrk rse
dramatically nly after his death.Athletes wh change training standards, activists wh plant seeds f change,
and musicians wh influence future generatins are all “almsts” wh clear the path fr thers.
When we recgnize the “almsts”, we redefine winning. It’s abut the curage t try, slip up, and keep
ging. The runner wh takes silver cmes back strnger. Small-business funders may fail first but rise with a
game-changing idea. Artists wh weren’t celebrated in their time ften tuch suls later.
The “almsts” remind us that success is abut daring t start. Effrt is valuable even withut applause
and struggle has meaning. Mst f us are ”almsts” in sme areas f life. Thugh few reach first place, we all
matter. The “almsts” exist between being unknwn and becming famus, quietly pushing the wrld frward.
12. What scial phenmenn des Paragraph 1 present?
A. Last-place finishers gain n public attentin at all.
B. Sciety punishes thse wh fail t win cmpetitins.
C Traditinal hnur symbls have lst their riginal value.
D. Near-winners are verlked in a victry-cnsumed sciety.
13. Why are “almsts” imprtant t sciety?
A. They set examples f hw t avid failure in life.
B. Their effrts push sciety frward in varius fields.
C. They always win awards in the end with their effrts.
D. They are mre creative than thse wh win first places.
14. What des the authr prpse as a mre meaningful definitin f “winning”?
A. Achieving fame and public recgnitin.
B. Becming the ne t achieve a great discvery.
C. Leaving an everlasting mark that shines brightly.
D. Being brave t attempt, make mistakes and keep ging.
15. What is the authr’s attitude twards the “almsts”?
A. Dismissive. B. Disappinted. C. Appreciative. D. Dubtful.

clud, nt a cat! “she whispered. Emma smiled,tapping the keychain gently. “It’s cute in its wn way-kids will lve
the funny lk,” she said cnfidently.
Just then, Lily tried t glue a ribbn nt a paper bag t make a gift bag. The glue flwed ut everywhere,

suggested. Lily ndded, but her hands shk, and the ribbn slipped again. Her eyes were filled with tears. “I’m
useless at this!” she said, pushing the table slightly. Emma put her hand n Lily’s shulder. “Everyne has tugh
starts. Remember when yu taught me t draw a sun? I kept making it a circle with lines-yu never gave up n me.”
