Last summer, I made a rather uncnventinal decisin t run a small bkstre in the bustling fd market f my neighbrhd. My friends cast dubt n the plan, fr the market was crwded with nisy vendrs (小贩) and filled with pungent fd smells. Their cncerns prved well-funded n its pening day. Sandwiched between a prk stall and a tfu shp, my bkstre attracted barely any attentin. With few custmers stepping in, I felt disheartened and began t reflect n what went wrng. Never had I anticipated such a frigid beginning.
It didn’t take me lng t figure ut where the prblem lay. I had stcked my shelves with classic nvels and petry I cherished, yet they failed t meet the needs f lcal residents. I therefre reslved t make a thrugh change. In place f thse bks, I displayed hme-style ckbks, stries abut street fd, and fd-related picture bks fr children. I sincerely hped these new bks wuld win ver the lcals. I als launched a “Bk-fr-Veggie Exchange” activity in the stre.
The new adjustment turned ut t be highly successful. Lcal peple sn tk t this creative idea. A yung mther came first with a carrt t exchange fr a picture bk, and befre lng, my cunter was verflwing with fresh vegetables. The tfu vendr’s daughter, wh had watched silently fr weeks n end, finally stepped frward t brrw a cmic. Mnths later, the bkstre became a warm part f market life, with the scent f bks blending gently with the fresh arma f farm prduce.
This experience reshaped my understanding f bks. I nce believed bks culd nly shine in quiet places, but nw I have seen their real value. It lies in cnnecting with peple’s everyday life: bks can blend perfectly int daily rutines and warm ur hearts. They becme meaningful and tuching when cmbined with the hustle and bustle, fd and laughter f everyday life.

When spring arrives, keeping warm becmes less f an issue. Hwever, scientists remind us it is nt just a seasnal necessity — heat is als a valuable energy resurce that can be stred. Researchers at Kaunas University f Technlgy (KTU) have discvered an innvative slutin beneath ur feet: using sil as an efficient thermal energy(热能) strage system.
KTU prfessr Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating hw the grund can serve as a medium fr heat strage. At the cre f their research is a grund-based heat accumulatr that wuld stre left energy undergrund and make it available when demand peaks.
Initially, the team explred hw t use wind energy t prduce heat via a hydraulic system (液压系统). They fund that s-called hydraulic lsses, typically seen as inefficiencies, were actually generating usable heat. Hwever, part f heat was lst befre reaching buildings. The questin became hw t nt nly decrease heat lss but als stre it.
T test this idea, the researchers cnducted experiments using an artificial heat surce placed in surface sil layers. They measured hw heat spreads and persists in the grund. In ne test, when the sil was heated t the biling pint, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becmes vapr. “Phase change can be an efficient way. We nticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapur flw reached. This means the energy is mving and can be cntrlled.” says Prf. Ždankus.
Once the pssibility f undergrund heat strage was cnfirmed, researchers began explring its practical applicatins. They develped a pilt mdel grund energy cell t study hw heat spread thrugh sil. The year-lng measurements revealed the sil beneath buildings culd passively stre heat, making use f the natural dwnward flw f heat frm buildings int the grund.
T put these grund-based strage systems int widespread use, researchers are nw develping scaled-dwn pilt mdels and refining heat distributin cntrl methds. “Our immediate gal is t integrate existing slutins int a system that can benefit bth industry and residential sectrs.” Ždankus cncludes.
8. What is the main gal f the KTU research prject?
A. T reduce winter heating csts.B. T capture thermal energy frm sil.
C. T stre undergrund heat fr later use.D. T prmte hydraulic system efficiency.
9. What can be inferred frm paragraphs 3-4?
A. Phase change makes heat cntrl pssible.
B. Hydraulic lsses can be avided by heat transfer.
C. Vapur flw cntributes t big temperature drps.
D. Heat prductin pses a great challenge t experts.
10. What are researchers ding fr the practical use f the systems?
A. Building large-scale industrial heating systems.
B. Develping test mdels with imprved cntrl.
C. Applying the technlgy t residential sectrs.
D. Reducing the energy cnsumptin f buildings.
11. Which f the fllwing wuld be the suitable title fr the text?
A. Frm Wind t Warmth: an Unexpected Path
B. Future System: Uniting Industry and Hme Heating
C. A New Discvery: Turning Hydraulic Lss int Gain
D. The Grund Beneath: A New Frntier in Heat Strage

Have yu ever fund smene cpying yur gestures r facial expressins during a cnversatin? This is the Chamelen (变色龙) Effect, the nncnscius mimicry (模仿) f thers’ behavirs. Just like a chamelen integrates int its envirnment, peple uncnsciusly mimic thers’ gestures, mannerisms r accents t build cnnectins and smth interactins, which is a cmmn yet easily verlked human trait.
Psychlgists Jhn Bargh and Tanya Chartrand prved the Chamelen Effect in a 1999 experiment. They asked 78 participants t talk with experimenters during a persnality test. T avid cnscius mimicry, researchers used phts as a distractin during cnversatins. The results shwed participants uncnsciusly increased face tuching by 20% and ft mvement by 50% t match the experimenters. Anther part fund peple wh were mimicked rated the experimenters mre psitively, shwing mimicry bsts likability. The Chamelen Effect stems frm tw main reasns. It is rted in human empathy — peple mimic thers t share feelings and build emtinal bnds. It als evlved as a survival trait: fitting in with a grup helps peple gain supprt and avid danger. In daily life, this explains why cuples r clse friends gradually adpt similar speech habits r gestures.
This effect als appears in speech and scial settings. Peple may uncnsciusly pick up thers’ accents r phrases after lng interactins. Fr example, a ftball player nce accidentally used a French accent during an interview after living in France fr mnths, a typical display f the effect. Hwever, excessive mimicry may make peple lse their sense f self. Such ver-mimicry can lead t cnfusin abut ne’s true persnality.
Overall, the Chamelen Effect is a psitive scial tl that prmtes cnnectin and empathy. It helps reduce scial tensin and build trust between peple. While it helps peple integrate int grups, balancing mimicry with self-identity is crucial t aviding lsing neself in scial interactins. With this awareness, peple can use the effect wisely while preserving their wn uniqueness.
12. Which f the fllwing is an example f the “Chamelen Effect”?
A. A girl cpies her deskmate’s mvements.
B. A driver fllws a pliceman’s directins.
C. An applicant learns the judge’s expressins by heart.
D. An assistant practices a freigner’s tnes n purpse.
13. What can be inferred abut the “Chamelen Effect” frm paragraph 2?
A. Persnality changes with cnscius mimicry.
B. Likability increases mimicry in cnversatins.
C. Peple mimic thers t gain grup acceptance.
D. Mimicry aruses shared feelings between cuples.
14. What is the dwnside f excessive mimicry?
A. The lss f self-identity.
B. An end t true cnnectin.
C. The failure f mutual trust.
D. A decrease in scial tensin.
15. What is the authr’s attitude twards the “Chamelen Effect”?
A. Dubtful.B. Critical.

My husband’s cmpany prmted him and relcated us t New Yrk City. We fund a safe, affrdable place t live. Once we gt settled in, I was determined t find emplyment. After a few days f searching and applying, I was frtunate t find a jb as an administrative assistant with Yung & Rubicam, a famus advertising agency. I wasn’t thrilled abut the jb because I had graduated with a degree t teach English, but the pay was gd, and the extra mney was a blessing.
The jb was rather dull, thugh, mainly typing letters, answering phnes, setting up fr cnferences, filing, scheduling meetings, arranging travel fr the cpywriters (撰稿人), etc. I felt that what I was ding was insignificant. As letters r travel brchures wuld cme acrss my desk t be typed, I wuld read ver them. Often, there were grammatical errrs r the spelling was nt always accurate, but since it wasn’t my jb t crrect them, I typed them as they were given t me.
One day, I was talking t my grandmther, LuOlive Graham. Anyne nt related t her called her Lu. Everybdy else, including all twelve f her children and fifteen grandchildren, called her “Muh”. Muh was a wise wman lady. Her children adred and admired her. There was nthing better than t spend a day with Muh, which meant yu were ging t hear fascinating stries abut her grwing up, while savring her tea and cakes.
Over tea, I said, “Muh, yu shuld see the things that cme acrss my desk — letters, mems, and brchures with crazy grammar, pr spelling, and awkward sentences. But I guess it’s nt my jb t crrect them.” Then, I added that I nly did what they paid me t d.
Muh listened attentively, as she always did, and after I finished, she said very calmly, “Hney, dn’t just d enugh t get by. Always d yur best wrk. Whatever yur hand finds t d, d it with all yur might. Yu may find mre enjyment in the jb if yu d yur best. Plus, it never hurts yu t let peple knw that yu can d mre than what they hired yu t d.”

（1）续写词数应为150左右；
