Hw Knitting May Be Rewiring Yur Brain
Knitting — and ther s-called “grandma hbbies” — is making a cmeback, especially amng yunger generatins. Accrding t Eventbrite data, Gen Z’s interest in “granny cre” gatherings, such as knitting 11.and needlewrk wrkshps, has grwn in recent mnths, driven in part by a search fr relief frm digital burnut.
But the benefits g beynd nstalgia ( 怀旧). Recent studies suggest that slw, hands-n tasks, such as knitting, may activate brain systems in ways that supprt lng-term cgnitive health in varius ways, including engaging memry, attentin, and mtr functin, while helping t regulate stress. In ther wrds, regardless f age r gender, engaging in hands-n, mentally 12. hbbies — whether knitting, wd carving, r mdel building — may be ne f the simplest ways t supprt brain health.
While meditatin and puzzles als ffer brain benefits, knitting uniquely cmbines 13. mtr crdinatin, creative planning, and rhythmic tw-sided mvement — all f which engage different brain systems at nce. This kind f creativity in any capacity is helpful, says Emily Sharp, a 14.therapist at NY Art Therapy.
A 2024 study in Frntiers in Behaviral Neurscience supprts the utlk, demnstrating hw creative activities activate the brain’s dpaminergic reward netwrk, particularly in areas deeply invlved in pleasure, mtivatin, and md. But unlike the dpamine rises caused by scrlling r sugar, knitting prvides a slwer, steadier 15..
Plus, since activities like knitting require planning, 16. and prblem-slving, they activate executive functin alngside mtr and emtinal systems. This full-brain engagement helps strengthen neural ( 神经的) cnnectivity, a crucial tl fr maintaining the brain’s flexibility and resilience as we age.
If yu are already an accmplished knitter, dn’t 17.yurself n the back just yet. The cgnitive benefits f activities like knitting aren’t abut the task itself — they’re abut the prcess f learning smething new.
Nvelty (新颖) 18.. When yu challenge the brain with unfamiliar tasks, such as learning t knit, it lights up new pathways, ffering a unique neurlgical bst. With time and repetitin, thse same actins becme fluent and calming, allwing the brain t shift int a restrative flw state. This challenge-t-mastery prcess helps maintain neural 19.. Hwever, yu must cntinually 20. the challenges fr yur brain as yu master ld nes. The gd news? The cgnitive challenge desn’t have t be big.

Hw Archaelgy Changed frm Digging t Prtecting
The wrd “archaelgy” cmes frm the Greek wrd arkhais, which means “ancient.” Althugh sme archaelgists study living 21 , mst fcus n the distant past. Fr thusands f years, peple have searched fr and dug up ancient mnuments, ften nt as schlars but as grave rbbers whse nly gal was t steal valuables quickly, caring little abut the structures arund them. Their actins
2_2 caused damage t histrical sites. In ancient Egypt, grave rbbing was s cmmn that many tmbs had hidden rms where families placed treasures.
This prblem 2_3 fr centuries. In the 1800s, the tmb f Pharah ( 法老) Ramses I, wh
ruled briefly in the 1290s BCE, was discvered and stlen. It cntained pttery, paintings, sculptures, and the pharah’s mummy, which eventually ended up in a museum befre being returned t Egypt in 2003. 2_4 , grave rbbers never discvered the tmb f Pharah Tutankhamun, als knwn as King
Tut. His resting place lay 2_5 fr thusands f years until it was discvered in 1922. The tmb
cntained the mummies f Tutankhamun and his family, alng with thusands f artifacts ( 文物),
prviding 2_6 insights int ancient Egyptian life. It remains ne f the mst well-knwn
archaelgical 2_7 in histry.
Early archaelgy was als clsely linked t 28 and clnial ( 殖民的) pwer. When Naplen Bnaparte invaded Egypt in 1798, he brught artists and schlars t dcument the cnquest,
while his trps 2_9 hundreds f tns f artifacts, many f which nw fill the Luvre. Similarly,
wealthy adventurers frm Western clnial pwers 30 digs in Greece and elsewhere. Althugh
they were ften genuinely interested in the past, their wrk was 3_1 t clnialism, as seen in the
case f the Elgin Marbles, which Greece has lng requested returned as part f its cultural heritage. Such activities highlight bth the histrical fascinatin with ancient civilizatins and the ethical (伦理的) challenges that 32 early archaelgy.
Over time, archaelgy became mre 3_3 . Scientists began using standard measurements and frmalized methds fr recrding and remving artifacts. Detailed drawings f dig sites and individual items became standard, and archaelgists cllabrated with histrians and linguists t create a unified

Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
It was the lveliest f mrnings, the air warm and still, the waters f Kyrgyzstan’s Issyk-Kul Lake as clear and biting as a glass f vdka. There were n bats, nly the blue-grey muntains, faint as a memry. I tk ff my clthes and jumped in, ducking nce, twice, three times, under the salty water. Still, I dared nt stay, because the train, the Glden Eagle, wuld very shrtly be carrying me nward int Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan.
Glden Eagle’s Republics f the Silk Rad jurney prvides a tw-week, multi-cuntry adventure fr lvers f lng rail jurneys, excellent fd, architecture and glamur. It displays luxury — champagne in crystal glasses, twice-daily rm service by attendants, and waiters in bw ties and waistcats set the tne. And it’s mre casual than expected. Despite the “smart dress at dinner” recmmendatin, wearing a suit, I was the nly ne t d s and felt verdressed.
Time, ver a lng train jurney, becmes smewhat flexible. The effect in that envirnment — always fixed, always mving — can becme smething like a sustained cincidence. Yu’re searching fr a familiar sweater in yur cmpartment when yu glance ut the windw t find a distant temple with a rund dme. Yu rder yur usual drink at a bar as blue lightning flashes acrss the grassland. .
We arrived in Khiva at dawn. Once a majr Silk Rad trading pst, it’s still bustling. Lcal dealers cnduct internatinal business, calling ut in multiple languages. The city’s sunds, frm musical instruments and camel calls t smiths’ hammers, give it a timeless atmsphere. I didn’t want t be mved by the nise, but every scene was undeniable — a square twer tpped with a dme, a winding alley filled with the smell f rasted meat, the large, unfinished twers that lked almst rund, and the grand walls cvered in blue tiles that drew peple’s eyes with a magic pull.
The Silk Rad might seem like a trade rute, but each cuntry n the jurney truly held its essence. The architecture, jewelry, dancing, fd, and hspitality shwed influences frm India, Italy, and Arabia, a mix f the unusual and familiar.
What can we learn abut the Glden Eagle’s Silk Rad jurney?
It requires strict frmal dress fr all meals.
It takes ne week t cver multiple cuntries.
It nly attracts travelers interested in architecture.
It ffers luxurius yet casual travel experience.
Which f the fllwing, if inserted int the blank, wuld best illustrate the idea f “a sustained cincidence” described in the passage?
Lying n a bed reading, yu lk up t see eight camels marching ver a sand hill.
Checking the dining car menu, yu find yur preferred sandwich is sld ut.
Asking an attendant fr a blanket, yu’re tld they’re first-class nly.
Stretching yur legs in the crridr, yu see the train pull int an unfamiliar statin.
What makes Khiva a timeless city in the authr’s eyes?
Its quiet and empty streets in the early mrning.
Its mix f traditinal sunds and classic scenery.
Its mdern business mdels and new buildings.
Its simple lcal fd sld in winding lanes.
In the final paragraph, the Silk Rad is described primarily as .
A. a histrically imprtant rute defined by cmmercial exchange
B. a cllectin f turist destinatins linked by gegraphy
C. a physical jurney cnnecting several neighbring cuntries
D. a space where diverse cultures meet and influence ne anther
(B)
Cllege applicatins are ut; let the careless errrs begin. A hasty cllege applicatin, while ne f the easiest missteps t avid, is prbably amng the mst cmmn mistakes applicants make.
Here are pitfalls (雷区) that yu can easily prevent:
A silly email address
If yur student created their email address in the secnd grade and it sunds smething like “beachbum4life” r “cheerleadercutie”, it’s time fr an update. Students can create an “acceptable” email accunt with Gmail in just a few minutes. Clleges cmmunicate almst exclusively with students via email s setting up a mre prfessinal accunt is an easy way t ddge a red flag.
Inapprpriate material n scial media
There are a lt f discussins in the cllege admissins cmmunity and amng students and parents abut the mrality and the reality f cllege admissins prfessinals checking up n the scial media accunts f applicants. Rude language and inapprpriate phts and psts are bvius candidates fr remval. My advice is t be safe and delete them.
Prcrastinatin
Applicatins are due as early as mid-Octber with the majrity f regular decisin deadlines hitting n r arund January 1. Why d as many as 50% f students wait until the last day, r even the last hur, t submit their applicatins?
Every year, withut fail, cllege cmputer servers get verladed with applicants applying at the last minute and shut dwn. “Panic-stricken” is prbably a mild term fr the chas this creates in many husehlds.
Avid this experience at all csts. Start the applicatins nw, and plan t submit them at least ne week prir t the deadline.
Misspellings
Spell check is nt a cllege applicant’s friend. Mst applicatins are nt enabled with spell check, and that means that all yur mistakes and careless errrs are in full view, s I recmmend at least tw runds f prfing. Prf, take a break fr tw r mre days, reprf and then submit.
The underlined phrase “ddge a red flag” in the passage mst prbably means .
make a psitive cnnectin
avid a negative impressin
crrect a persnal weakness
fllw a standard prcedure
What shuld applicants d t imprve their applicatin, accrding t the authr?
Use spell-check t fix writing mistakes.
Submit their applicatin in the final week.
Clean up their scial media psts.
Check their email ften fr updates.
What verall message des the authr cnvey abut these applicatin pitfalls?
They are mstly minr issues that admissins fficers ignre.
They require prfessinal help t be fully reslved.
They have becme less imprtant due t changes in applicatin technlgy.
They are simple t address with careful attentin and advance planning.
(C)
The scial media landscape is nw underging a quiet but prfund transfrmatin. The questin arises: are platfrms becming less scial just as they becme mre ppular?
The traditinal magic f nline scial netwrks was their ability t cmbine persnal interactins with mass cmmunicatin. Friends shared updates; netwrks spread them widely. Nw this fusin is splitting apart. Status updates frm peple yu knw are being replaced by algrithm-selected vides frm strangers — cntent that resembles televisin mre than cnversatin. Meanwhile, public psting is mving t private messaging grups where cnversatins happen behind digital walls.
This shift brings mixed cnsequences. On the psitive side, private grups rder psts chrnlgically rather than by engagement-maximizing algrithms, reducing the mtive t pst shcking cntent. Fr teenagers, wh ften struggle when their private lives are examined clsely and publicly, clsed grups may ffer mental health benefits.
Hwever, significant prblems emerge. Messaging apps hsting grups f 200,000 members resemble unregulated bradcasts mre than private cnversatins. In India, pliticians have used such platfrms t spread lies that wuld likely be remved frm pen netwrks. As public psting declines, valuable discussins disappear frm view. During recent glbal crises, scientists cntributed t nline debates cntaining real insights; tday thse cnversatins are mving t private channels, slwing the spread f ideas.
Perhaps mst cncerning, pen-netwrk algrithms driven by user behaviur seem designed t spread the mst extreme cntent. Previusly, fr smething t g viral, peple had t chse t share it. Nw they supprt cntent simply by watching, as algrithms reward whatever attracts the mst engagement. Plitical trublemakers and misinfrmatin merchants stand t benefit mst frm this system.
Sme argue these defects can be fixed thrugh better gvernance r cding. But the prblems suggest smething deeper: scial media’s flaws may als result frm trade-ffs built int human cmmunicatin itself. When platfrms mve tward private grups, mnitring decreases. When peple escape clsed circles, they may face mre extreme cntent. As scial netwrks evlve, we must deal with these new challenges rather than fighting ld battles.
What des the underlined sentence “Nw this fusin is splitting apart.” in paragraph 2 imply?
Users are struggling t adapt t rapid changes acrss different platfrms.
Scial netwrks are shifting fcus away frm prtecting user data.
The distinctin between nline entertainment and persnal interactin is disappearing.
The integratin f private interactin and public bradcasts is breaking dwn.
What can be inferred abut the duble effects f private messaging grups in the passage?
They prtect yuth frm public expsure while enabling false infrmatin t spread.
They encurage pen dialgue while limiting expsure t diverse viewpints.
They reduce negative cntent while prmting meaningful plitical discussins.
They strengthen cmmunity bnds while reducing mnitring f nline spaces.
Accrding t the passage, what change has taken place in hw cntent becmes widely ppular?
Official surces nw receive pririty treatment ver amateur prductins.
Emtinal appeal has becme less imprtant than factual accuracy in driving views.
Cntent ppularity nw depends mre n algrithmic prmtin than active sharing.
The rle f user recmmendatin has been replaced by quality assessment systems.
Which f the fllwing wuld be the mst suitable title fr the passage?
The Rise f Private Messaging
Frm Public Square t Private Chat
Why Algrithms Are Ruining Scial Media
The Future f Online Cmmunities

This allwed them t clean data and recnstruct neural activity in the fetal brain.
In fact, this efficiency reaches its peak during the fetal stage.
This suggests after frming many cnnectins, the brain needs time t refine its netwrk.
Hwever, scientists have lng struggled t capture clear signals frm the fetal brain.
The activatin f these areas has a clear adaptive value.
Sme researchers argue that genetic prgramming alne drives these early changes.
The Brain Befre and After Birth
In a new study, researchers analyzed 184 brain scans cllected frm 140 fetuses (胎儿) and infants befre and shrtly after birth. These scans prvided a clear view f hw the brain changes acrss this
transitinal perid.4_7
T vercme this challenge, the research team used an innvative apprach: a sft detectin device placed gently n the mther’s belly, cmbined with AI algrithms t remve mtin interference.
4_8
The scans revealed a significant increase in neurnal activity arund birth within specific brain netwrks. These include the sensrimtr netwrk, respnsible fr prcessing external stimuli such as light and sund and crdinating mvement, and the deep relay netwrk, which acts as an infrmatin
hub between different brain regins. 4_9 After birth, infants are suddenly expsed t a fld
f sensry infrmatin — frm hspital equipment sunds t new smells and lights. The brain must quickly prepare t handle a much “nisier” wrld.
As the lead researcher nted, “Until nw, little was knwn abut hw brain activity actually changes at the mment f birth.” The new findings nw begin t fill this gap. A deeper finding shwed that while functinal cnnectins between neurns increased sharply arund birth, the efficiency f
cmmunicatin imprved mre gradually. 5_0 It des this by adjusting its structure and
remving unnecessary links thrugh a prcess knwn as synaptic pruning. These findings nw enable researchers t systematically explre hw envirnmental factrs shape early brain develpment and plan t cmpare brain netwrk grwth in preterm and full-term babies t see if early develpment differs.

Classics n Mdern Stages
Fur centuries after his death, Shakespeare still appears in unexpected places — nt nly n
traditinal stages but in films, schls, and experimental theaters. Sme directrs nw place Hamlet in crprate bardrms r set Rme and Juliet in mdern cities. Ambitin, jealusy and yung lve translate easily acrss centuries, and audiences unfamiliar with Elizabethan histry may find the stries mre apprachable in familiar settings. Yet as Shakespeare’s wrks are increasingly reimagined, a central questin emerges: hw much adaptatin is t much befre the riginal spirit is lst?
Directr Emma Rice has suggested that mdern adaptatins make timeless themes mre accessible t cntemprary audiences. When the stries appear in familiar settings, students encuntering the plays fr the first time ften find the ideas easier t grasp and the characters easier t relate t. She has als bserved that updating the setting can reveal hw little human emtin has changed ver time. A prince hesitating befre revenge (报复) r tw yung lvers challenging scial bundaries still reflect experiences that audiences tday readily recgnize.
Yet the enthusiasm fr mdernizatin ccasinally raises uneasy questins. Critic Michael Billingtn has viced cncerns that when directrs priritize visual nvelty ver linguistic integrity, the plays lse the very elements that give them enduring pwer. Shakespeare’s language — the rhythm f blank verse, the cmplex imagery, the slw unflding f thught within a speech — carries the emtinal depth f his drama. When thse elements are cut, the psychlgical cmplexity f the characters decreases.
The nging experiments n stage suggest that the relatinship between classic wrks and mdern audiences shuld never be taken as settled. T keep Shakespeare’s plays alive, each generatin ught t reshape them thughtfully, while always cnsidering hw much change the riginal spirit can bear.
