There are many ptins fr what t drink, but water is the best chice fr mst peple. It is calrie-free and
easy t find.
Hw much water d yu need?
One f the mst familiar sayings is t aim fr “8 glasses a day,” but this may nt be apprpriate fr every
persn. The Natinal Academy f Medicine suggests a prper intake f daily fluids f abut 13 cups and 9 cups fr
healthy men and wmen, respectively, with 1 cup equaling 8 unces. Higher amunts may be needed fr thse wh
are physically active r expsed t very warm climates. Lwer amunts may be needed fr thse with smaller bdy
sizes. It’s imprtant t nte that these amunts are nt a daily target, but a general guide.
General recmmendatins fr daily water intake

After a recent negative car rental experience, I fund myself ging dwn a familiar rabbit hle, scrlling (滚屏)
thrugh nline reviews f the cmpany. The experience was ver, yet I kept reading cmplaint after cmplaint
frm strangers. But I’m nt the nly ne wh des this. Why d we lk up reviews fr a htel we’ve already
stayed at, a mvie we’ve watched, r even a dctr we’ve visited? If we’re n lnger gathering infrmatin t
guide ur decisin-making, what are we lking fr? On the face f it, it seems pintless, but this cmmn habit
actually reveals hw we interpret ur experiences, especially the disappinting nes.
Peple ften experience inner cnflict after making a decisin. This can be smething small, like rdering
fd r buying a bk, r far mre significant chices, like picking a career, r chsing a life partner. It is knwn
as pst-decisin dissnance (不协调) — the psychlgical discmfrt we feel after chsing between multiple
ptins.
Once a decisin is made, the alternatives dn’t simply disappear. Instead, they remain in ur minds, alng with
the unsettling thught that anther ptin might have been better. That discmfrt is what sends us searching. In
fact, this feeling isn’t limited t purchases. It can arise anytime we cmmit t ne path and clse ff thers.
After my disappinting car rental experience, I wasn’t lking fr infrmatin t help me decide. That
mment had passed. Instead, I simply wanted t understand what had already happened, and cnvince myself I
hadn’t made a flish decisin. Reading negative reviews frm thers with similar experiences helped shift my
versin f the stry: maybe the prblem wasn’t just me. Maybe the rental cmpany was truly awful. Once we’ve
had an experience, gd r bad, we’re n lnger gathering infrmatin. We’re trying t find peace within urselves.
It’s nt abut reviews but abut gaining a sense f identity, and emtinal clsure fr what we’ve been thrugh.
4. Why des the authr mentin his car rental experience in paragraph 1?
A. T cmplain abut the pr service.
B. T warn readers against rental traps.
C. T intrduce a cmmn human habit.
D. T shw the effect f negative reviews.
5. What can we learn abut pst-decisin dissnance?
A. It appears in mst decisins in life.
B. It causes unease after making a chice.
C. It reminds peple t slve inner cnflict.
D. It pushes peple t weigh multiple ptins.
6. What makes peple seek relevant cmments after making a decisin?
A. The fear f missing better alternatives.
B. The curisity abut thers’ feelings.
C. The desire t discver mre pssibilities.
D. The need t learn frm past experiences.
7. What des the authr think f pst-experience review reading?
A. It cnfirms persnal identity.
B. It ffers cnvincing excuses.
C. It prvides practical guidance.
D. It serves emtinal purpses.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D

Literature students nce read three bks a week but tday they struggle t make it thrugh ne in three weeks,
Sir Jnathan Bate, a prfessr f English literature at the University f Oxfrd, has warned.
Many yung peple entering university t study literature have nt read extensively (广泛地), and they ften
have difficulty ding s during their time at university. This is a grwing trend that many academics have bserved,
althugh it isn’t always the case. Bate tld the BBC’s Tday prgramme, “The currently fashinable answer is that
it’s t d with the reduced attentin due t smartphnes, six-minute YuTube vides and instant TikTk hits.”
“Actually it all begins in schls. Yu nly have t lk at the thinning f A-level syllabuses (教学大纲) and
the tendency t assign wrks because they’re shrter,” Bate said.
He added that it was als “an unintended cnsequence f the push in bth the tp British and American
universities twards diversity and access… as sme students cme frm schls where the teachers’ main task is
crwd cntrl, and s the demands in terms f reading lng bks are just nt there.”
State-funded charter (特 许 ) schls in the US were an interesting phenmenn, hwever. “There’s a big
cmeback f classical educatin within these schls,” Bate said.
Bate explained that his sn was expsed t an extensive variety f wrks. “My teenager has just graduated
frm a charter high schl called Great Hearts and there they read Iliad, Odyssey, Infern, Crime and Punishment.
He came hme ne day saying that they had been praised fr studying Hegel because it’s really difficult. I’m
amazed that 17-year-ld American kids are reading Hegel. S there is sme hpe.”
“If yu haven’t gt readers, what are writers ging t d? The deep, thughtful, quiet reading f great bks is
gd fr mental health. It’s als gd fr develping skills, fr cncentratin and critical thinking, and if that falls
away, that is prblematic fr sciety and individuals.”
8. Hw des the authr present the tpic?
A. By stating a wrrying change.
B. By citing a research finding.
C. By explaining a cultural cncept.
D. By describing a typical prfessr.
9. Which f the fllwing des Bate think is a reasn fr the trend?
A. Overuse f smartphnes.
B. Limited access t literary wrks.
C. Insufficient schl educatin.
D. Pr learning ability at university.
10. What des Bate imply by referring t his sn?
A. Classical educatin is nt a lst cause.
B. The yung are n strangers t classics.
C. Charter schls deserve mre attentin.
D. Great bks are within teenagers’ reach.
11. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Literary Taste Gives Way t Screens
B. Deep Reading Benefits Mental Health
C. Literature Students Face a Reading Crisis
D. Traditinal Educatin Makes a Cmeback

A new study ffers fresh insight int hw peple assess the envirnmental impact f the fds they eat, and
the results suggest many are getting it wrng. These misunderstandings pint t a clear need fr simple
envirnmental impact labels t help guide better chices.
Researchers frm the University f Nttingham’s Schl f Psychlgy asked 168 participants in the UK t
srt a wide variety f supermarket fds int envirnmental impact categries f their wn making. Participants
were als shwn scientific estimates f each prduct’s envirnmental impact and asked whether the results were
higher r lwer than they expected.
The study fund that peple tend t assess the impact f fd using tw main factrs: whether the fd cmes
frm animals r plants, and hw prcessed it is. In general, participants assumed that meat and dairy prducts, as
well as highly prcessed fds, are wrse fr the envirnment.
Hwever, these assumptins smetimes belie reality. Many participants verestimated the envirnmental
impact f prcessed fds while underestimating the impact f water-intensive (高耗水的) prducts. They were
als surprised t learn hw much higher the envirnmental impact f beef is cmpared t ther meats like chicken.
Fd prductin plays a majr rle in envirnmental issues, including greenhuse gases and bidiversity lss.
Encuraging mre sustainable eating habits depends in part n understanding hw peple perceive the
envirnmental ftprint f different fds.
Daniel Fletcher, lead authr f the study, said, “We fund participants wuld be willing t change their
purchasing behavir based n this task, but they may struggle t cmpare the envirnmental impact f
animal-based prducts and highly prcessed fds because they see their effects as t different t weigh against
each ther. Envirnmental impact data n fd prducts is pening up new pssibilities fr this research, and labels
that give fds a single verall grade (such as A-E) culd help make these cmparisns easier fr cnsumers, thus
allwing peple t make sustainable fd chices.”
12. What d the researchers hpe t find ut abut the participants?
A. Their understanding f fd quality.
B. Their preferences fr ppular fd.
C. Their methds fr fd categrizatin.
D. Their view f fd’s eclgical cst.
13. What des the underlined wrd “belie” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Ignre. B. Affect.
C. Disclse. D. Mismatch.
14. What d cnsumers require accrding t Daniel Fletcher?
A. Change f shpping behavir.
B. A unifrm grading system.
C. Mre data n fd cnsumptin.
D. A cmparisn f different fds.
15. What is the purpse f the text?
A. T advise n fd chices.
B. T call fr fd ec-labels.
C. T advcate gd eating habits.
D. T shw dietary carbn ftprint.

stand there grinning flishly. The glden rule f friendship is if yu make peple feel gd abut themselves, they’
re ging t like yu. In ther wrds, yu shuld nt talk abut yurself and all yur wnderful achievements.
____19____
Finally, finding cmmn grund is gd t frm a cnnectin. Charming peple are particularly skilled at
seeking ut shared interests r experiences t bnd with thers. Simple things like asking where smene’s frm
really can pen up a discussin and allw yu t find areas in cmmn. And if all else fails, yu can fall back n
that mst British f tpics: the weather. ____20____
A. It can be a nice start f a cnversatin.
B. Instead, yu need t shw interest in them.
C. There’s ne incredibly simple tl: yur smile.

give the ticket t Mrs. Nishikawa instead. Mareya’s eyes sftened as she turned t me, whispering that it wuld

my dad winked at Ollie and Mareya. It was his quiet way f saying “Thanks fr being generus and thughtful.”
