There are a lt f factrs that affect hw lng milk is gd fr after the sell-by date. The biggest is whether the milk has been thrugh pasteurizatin (巴氏杀菌法), which is defined as “the prcess f heating every drp f milk t destry all human pathgens (病原体)”.
Hw lng raw milk lasts
“Because raw milk has nt gne thrugh a heat step t reduce the bacterial cunt, it will break dwn and g bad mre quickly,” says Amit Shah, senir directr f quality at Maple Hill Creamery in New Yrk. Accrding t Alex O’Brien, a fd safety and quality rganizer at the University f Wiscnsin Center fr Dairy Research, it’d be lucky t get seven days f drinkability with raw milk. Until the early 1900s, milk was frequently the vehicle fr fdbrne illnesses. That’s why selling raw milk t the general public is illegal in many situatins and states.
Hw lng pasteurized milk lasts
Pasteurized milk generally lasts three weeks t a mnth after prcessing, prvided it’s prperly refrigerated. That’s regardless f whether it is nnfat, lw fat, whle r withut milk sugar. Experts say unpened milk will last tw t five days past its sell-by date, thugh it might be fine fr a week. They recmmend drinking an pened cntainer f milk as sn as pssible (say, within a few days) fr the freshest taste.
Hw lng lng-life milk lasts
Buy lng-life milk, and yur cntainer will last even lnger — anywhere frm 30 t 90 days when stred prperly and unpened. This type f milk ges thrugh ultra-high temperature pasteurizatin and is packaged in clean cntainers. “Lng-life milk is shelf stable and des nt need refrigeratin until pened,” an expert says.
1. What is a prblem with raw milk?
A. Its ptential health risks.B. Its high cst f prductin.
C. Its unusual taste and muthfeel.D. Its limited nutritinal value.
2. What is a unique feature f lng-life milk?
A. It is packaged in traditinal ways.B. It requires n cling befre pening.
C. It is prcessed at lw temperatures.D. It has a strict shelf life f seven days.
3. What is the purpse f the text?
A. T shw benefits f drinking different milk.
B. T explain nutritin standards fr milk prducts.
C. T illustrate factrs influencing the shelf life f milk.
D. T review the histry f milk prcessing techniques.

As a librarian, I am ften asked a questin: “D audibks (有声书) qualify as reading?” Many peple dn’t think s. There’s a certain pride — even superirity — in being well read. Saying yu’ve nly listened t a bk ften sunds like an aplgy.
I used t agree. Then, years ag in an airprt bar, I saw a man using a rbtic vice n his phne t read text alud at remarkable speed. At first, I fund it strange; nly when I realized he was blind did the scene shift. He was fully absrbed, reading as naturally as I did with my eyes. Because I have dyslexia (诵读困难), reading has never cme easy. After that encunter, I tried the same feature n my phne. It was a revealing mment. Fr the first time, ideas flwed smthly, and my attentin did nt wander.
That mment sent me dwn a new path. Peple read less fr pleasure nw, yet audibk use rises. Part f the cnfusin lies in hw we view reading. It starts with decding — linking letters t sunds and meaning — but nce autmatic, the brain uses the same language netwrk t prcess wrds, whether thrugh eyes r ears. Rapt listening, researchers nte, a state in which listeners give their full attentin and frget everything else, can match print cmprehensin — and fr sme readers, even better.
Yet, in many classrms, students recrd nly pages read, nt minutes listened, as if print alne builds literacy. But yung peple reading in any frmat tend t develp strnger skills and ften cntinue reading as they grw.
I knw it firsthand. That brief airprt encunter reshaped me. Nw I ften listen while fllwing text n my screen, mving easily amng frmats. I n lnger wrry abut the methd. I am simply reading — and s are millins f thers wh read with bth eyes and ears. What matters is that the wrds take rt.
4. What led the authr t try audi reading?
A. An eye-pening mment at an airprt.B. Prfessinal advice frm ther librarians.
C. Lng-term difficulty with dyslexia alne.D. A wish t imprve his reading speed.
5. What des the underlined wrd “rapt” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Selective.B. Relaxed.C. Fcused.D. Passive.
6. What can we learn abut the classrm practices in paragraph 4?
A. They encurage diverse learning.B. They emphasize creative methds.
C. They verlk students’ preferences.D. They fail t prmte literacy bradly.
7. What is implied in the last paragraph?
A. Listening and print serve separate rles.B. A new habit can pen new reading paths.
C. Different methds shape reading chices.D. Understanding matters mre than the frmat.

When peple think abut imprving their health, they usually fcus n diet and exercise. Hwever, research suggests that spending time n friendships can be just as pwerful. Feeling supprted and cared fr helps prtect peple frm serius diseases such as heart prblems and als reduces daily stress. Strng relatinships are als linked t greater creativity, higher jb satisfactin, and a lwer risk f burnut. Therefre, scial cnnectin is a basic need that quietly supprts bth physical and mental well-being.
If relatinships are s imprtant, why d many peple struggle t build them? Psychlgy has identified a majr reasn called the “liking gap”. Studies by Erica Bthby and Gus Cney fund that after shrt cnversatins, we usually believe thers like us less than they actually d. Because f this misunderstanding, we may avid cntacting new friends again, wrngly assuming we made a pr impressin. This silent dubt keeps many ptential friendships frm grwing.
T break thrugh these fears, the key is t help thers feel truly understd. When peple sense that smene shares their thughts r understands their feelings, trust begins t frm. This feeling des nt require perfect wrds. It cmes frm clear respnses, hnest reactins, and a willingness t shw that we are really listening. Once this sense f mutual (相互的) understanding is built, the fear f rejectin slwly disappears.
Based n this idea, simple actins can make a real difference. Try repeating part f what smene has said, shwing agreement, r sharing a small persnal experience. These steps ften encurage the ther persn t pen up as well. Many peple als hld back cmpliments (表扬) r wrries because they think it will feel awkward, but hnesty and kind wrds are usually welcmed. Start small, such as asking a classmate abut their day r thanking a clleague fr help. With regular practice, scial interactin becmes mre natural, and strng, healthy relatinships begin t grw.
8. What can be learned abut scial cnnectin frm paragraph 1?
A. It is essential fr human health.B. It primarily benefits ne’s career.
C. It is a secndary life requirement.D. It serves as an alternative fr exercise.
9. What des the “liking gap” mainly lead t?
A. Misjudgment f thers’ pinins.B. Hesitatin in frming new cnnectins.
C. Feelings f embarrassment and anger.D. Unnecessary cnflicts between peple.
10. What is the key t building trust in relatinships?
A. Lwering the risk f being rejected.B. Using plite and prfessinal language.
C. Reducing ne’s true reactins and feelings.D. Shwing genuine attentin and understanding.
11. What message des the authr cnvey in the last paragraph?
A. Cmplex skills lead t scial success.B. Private stries require careful sharing.
C. Simple acts build strng cnnectins.D. Regular praise ensures deep friendship.
D
Fr peple with severe paralysis (瘫痪), cmmunicatin can be extremely difficult. Sme may still mve their eyes, but many cannt speak r use their hands. T address this prblem, scientists have been develping brain-cmputer interfaces (BCIs). In a recent advance, researchers tested a new BCI system that allwed users with paralysis t type mre quickly, ffering new hpe fr mre natural cmmunicatin.
Earlier BCIs made cmmunicatin pssible, but nt efficient. In many cases, users had t mve a cursr (光标) acrss a screen and chse letters ne by ne. This methd wrked, yet it was ften t slw fr nrmal cnversatin. Researchers therefre wanted a system that culd perate mre like everyday typing.
In a recent study, a research team tested a new BCI keybard that uses artificial intelligence (AI) t recgnize a user’s intended finger r hand mvements. The system linked patterns f brain activity t letters n a standard keybard. Tw peple with paralysis tk part in the study by attempting t mve their fingers, even thugh n actual mvement ccurred. One f them reached a typing speed f 22 wrds per minute, clse t the speed f rdinary smartphne texting.
The advance matters because cmmunicatin is nt nly abut prducing wrds, but als abut jining a cnversatin at the right time. A persn wh types t slwly may struggle t take part naturally in scial interactin. Sme users can rely n eye-tracking systems, but these are ften slwer and may nt wrk well fr everyne. A faster BCI, therefre, culd make cmmunicatin feel mre direct and mre natural.
Still, the technlgy is nt ready fr wide use. The study included nly tw participants, s further testing is needed. In additin, the device requires surgery t place chips (芯片) in the brain, which brings risks. It als needs t be adjusted befre each use. Even s, researchers believe the results shw that brain-based typing is mving beynd the labratry and getting clser t practical cmmunicatin in everyday life.
12. What was a disadvantage f earlier BCIs?
A. They respnded t slwly.B. They relied n spken language.
C. They were expensive t prduce.D. They required users t mve hands.
13. What can be inferred abut the new BCI system frm paragraph 3?
A. It beats smartphne texting in speed.B. It depends n users’ basic hand cntrl.
C. It helps patients recver muscle functins.D. It translates mental intentins int text.
14. Why is faster typing cnsidered imprtant?
A. It reduces the need fr surgery.B. It restres actual finger mvements.
C. It allws mre natural cmmunicatin.D. It imprves the quality f smartphnes.
15. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. BCI Systems: Frm Lab Experiments t Practical Risks
B. Brain-based Typing: A Step Twards Natural Cmmunicatin
C. Brain-based Typing: The Future f Smartphne Texting
D. BCI Systems: A Prmising Breakthrugh in Paralysis Recvery

It is a place defined by a unique spirit f cmmunity, where artists, musicians, and peple frm all walks f life cme tgether, creating an atmsphere f supprt and kindness. This sense f belnging is what makes Asheville special, a hme where peple lk ut fr ne anther.
In 2005, Mlly and Tm Smith made an adventurus attempt, mving frm busy San Francisc t Asheville with their yung daughter, Aria. The transitin was challenging. Shrtly after arriving, feeling uncertain, they attended a lcal flk festival. Mlly watched as little Aria immediately ran t hug anther girl, and the tw spent the evening dancing freely in the diverse crwd. “They spent the entire night dancing in each ther’s arms,” Mlly remembered. “Surrunding them was a cmmunity square dance. I thught, this is why we’re here.” This warmth made them determined t stay.
The kindness they experienced as newcmers was heartwarming. When they faced challenges f settling dwn, neighbrs they had just met shwed up unasked t help them unpack bxes and shared hme-cked meals. This warm welcme made Mlly feel she had fund a true hme. Inspired by this supprtive envirnment, the Smiths eventually pened an Indian restaurant, Chai Pani, which became a belved lcal spt. And it was their way f cntributing t the twn that had embraced (接纳) them.
