At 27, as a new mther, I had been wrestling with stress and wrry, which led me t explre acupuncture. A friend’s firm recmmendatin inspired me t bk my first sessin. I chse Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand pening in 2020, drawn t its envirnment and knwledgeable staff. Thugh the cst — $ 130 fr an initial 65-minute sessin — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being.
Befre the appintment, I researched hw t prepare: eating a meal t stabilize bld sugar and aviding medicine t ensure relaxatin. Upn arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmsphere. After a brief cnsultatin with my acupuncturist, Sian James, wh evaluated my lifestyle and health cncerns, I changed int a twel and lay dwn. James checked my tngue, nting its red tip as a sign f stress, and explained hw it guided her needle placement.
She inserted 10-13 thin needles int my frehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tlerable, and she explained that the selected pints were targeted t stimulate my nervus system and release bichemicals t address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested fr 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit rm with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting int a quiet state—deeply calm yet aware f my surrundings.
When James remved the needles, I felt a prfund sense f quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised aviding tiring activities t maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Mnday mrning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture frced me t pause, breathe, and discnnect frm life’s pressures.
Thugh nt a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tl fr managing stress. As a persn wh struggled t unwind, I fund it incredibly effective, and nw, I plan t incrprate it int my rutine. It’s a reminder t priritize self-care. Otherwise, I culdn’t handle my busy wrk and daily life.

Climate-driving migratin (迁徙) is ften viewed as a mdern crisis, but histry tells a different stry. An interdisciplinary team f researchers frm the University f Basel has shwn that large-scale envirnmental instability shaped scieties mre than a thusand years ag.
Their study examined hw severe hydrlgical (水文学的) extremes such as prlnged drughts and destructive flds in the late Tang Dynasty influenced plitical stability in China. The research fcused n nrthern China, particularly the regin surrunding the Yellw River, an area central t agriculture, transprtatin, and plitical pwer.
T understand hw the climate shifted during this critical perid, scientists turned t natural archives (档案) — tree rings. In wetter years, sufficient rainfall allws trees t grw mre quickly, prducing wider rings. In dry years, grwth slws, leaving narrwer rings. The lnger a tree lives, the further back this envirnmental recrd extends, ffering a detailed timeline f past climate cnditins. The team relied n lng-term tree ring datasets frm the Yellw River basin t recnstruct histrical runff (径流量) patterns, which directly affected farming.
Their findings revealed that a rise in severe weather events played a part in the fall f the Tang Dynasty in 907 CE. Mre frequent drughts and flds placed intense pressure n the sldiers respnsible fr defending the frntiers, as well as n their families. Crp failures became cmmn due t extreme weather. With shrtages munting, supply rutes cllapsing, and hunger spreading, many peple migrated suth in search f better cnditins, leading t plitical destabilizatin and cntributing t the Tang Dynasty’s fall.
Hwever, the study’s first authr Michael Kempf emphasizes, “Our results are apprximatins (近似值). The actual cnditins at that time cannt be recnstructed with certainty. It’s a cmplex interplay f many different factrs.” The study cncluded that envirnmental phenmena and their cnsequences can disrupt scial structures and destabilize plitical systems. This is a develpment that culd ccur mre frequently in view f climate change tday.
8. What is the main purpse f the study?
A. T questin tree rings fr climate research.
B. T predict the ptential new climate crises.
C. T link climate change t plitical changes.
D. T analyse the reasn fr ancient migratin.
9. Hw did the researchers get climate data f the Tang Dynasty?
A. By studying ancient trees’ grwth patterns.B. By surveying the ancient migratin rutes.
C. By analyzing fficial histrical dcuments.D. By examining the remains f ancient crps.
10. What did the research find abut the rle f climate in the late Tang Dynasty?
A. It was the majr reasn fr the dynasty’s cllapse.
B. It physically destryed mst f its frntier defence.
C. It directly resulted in the weakening f the dynasty.
D. It set ff a chain f events causing the dynasty’s fall.
11. What des Michael Kempf think f the findings?
A. They verstate envirnmental rles.B. They are estimates and require care.
C. They ignre Tang’s scial structures.D. They are accurate and widely applicable.
D
In an age dminated by digital media and rapidly advancing technlgy, nline platfrms nw prvide instant access t vast amunts f cntent, making infrmatin readily available at the click f a buttn. Despite this digital cnvenience, reading bks in printed frm remains fundamental and irreplaceable.
Reading printed bks is far frm a diminishing practice as it ffers several advantages ver digital frmats.

Online vendrs nw make it easier than ever t purchase new r secnd-hand bks, which can be delivered directly t readers’ hmes. Libraries als cntinue t play a vital rle in prmting reading culture.

These digital systems help readers save time and avid cnfusin when searching thrugh shelves, shwing that technlgy can cmplement (补足) rather than replace printed bks.
In tday’s fast-paced wrld, cuntless distractins cmpete fr peple’s attentin. Smartphnes, streaming services, pdcasts, and the pressures f daily life ften leave little rm fr sustained reading. Yet, whether bund in paper r stred digitally, reading remains pwerful, serving as gateways t knwledge, prmting educatin, grwth, and prgress in sciety.

Maria had just finished her shift at a lcal café and was exhausted. She pushed a cart (手推车) filled with bread, milk, rice, and apples. Then she wandered ver t the children’s ty sectin because her fur-year-ld sn Ethan had asked fr a superher csplay cstume fr his birthday. When she finally sptted the cstume, her eyes widened at the price. Then exactly at the time her phne rang. It was Ethan asking if she’d fund what he had requested.

As she turned arund t leave, she nearly bumped (撞) int a man wh’d been waiting behind her the whle time. He’d clearly been trying t get the same cstume but was held up by Maria fr quite a while. She quickly aplgized t the man and hurried tward the checkut cunter.
The cashier scanned Maria’s items and said, “Yur ttal is $38.25.” Maria breathed in relief, knwing the ttal matched what she had calculated in her mind. She had nly $40 in her purse. She pened it slwly, and pulled ut sme bills and a few cins.
