If yu were the ne wh rganized yur family’s celebratin this past hliday seasn, yu’re prbably still
tired — wndering why yu spent s much n presents and decratins. If that sunds familiar, yu’re likely yur
family’s appinted celebratr.
I’m my family’s appinted celebratr, making sure that hlidays are truly celebrated by my lved nes. After
New Year’s Day this year, I sat at the breakfast table, tired. My husband lked puzzled and asked, “Why d yu
d this t yurself every year?” I have t admit that part f what I d arund the winter hlidays seems almst
instinctive. It’s as if I’m driven by the ancient need t mark the darkness f winter with my little bit f light. My
answer t my husband’s questin is that I believe ne f the mst imprtant things I can d while I’m n this planet
is t shw great respect fr thse I lve thrugh celebratins. The lder I get, the mre I believe it.
When my children were yung, my husband lst his jb. It tk a decade t recver emtinally and
financially. Ht water and electricity were luxuries that weren’t always available, and meals were a challenge. I
tried t hide it frm them, but I was cnstantly afraid f lsing ur hme. Thse celebratins were s rare and the
future was s uncertain. S nw, celebratins mean that much mre t me.

I celebrated with thse I lve, and I sincerely hpe that I did it well.

I lve bks. When I was a child, I carried bks everywhere, even t the dinner table and class. In my
pre-digital childhd, audibks barely existed in my wrld. They were nly fr lng car rides r dull chres like
cleaning my rm while listening t “American Girl” bks n CD.
With the rise f smartphnes, audibks have bmed, despite criticisms that “they aren’t real bks” and
“listening isn’t real reading.” I’ll admit that I used t be n the ther side f this issue, insisting that audibks
didn’t cunt because they allwed passive listening. I gt annyed with peple when they included audibks in
“bks read” lists. But I’ve cme arund since then, bth n a persnal and scial level.
I still believe reading a bk and listening t an audibk are distinct, fr they engage different brain
prcesses, each with unique prs and cns. One f my biggest annyances is spacing ut during an audibk and
realizing I have n idea where I stpped paying attentin. And I’ll always prefer print bks. Yet I’ve grwn t
appreciate audibks’ special strengths: talented vice actrs giving characters particular vices, r adding
meldies t written lyrics. A perfect example is Cary Elwes’ As Yu Wish: Incnceivable Tales frm the Making f
The Princess Bride, in which he and ther Princess Bride cast members narrate. And it’s an experience n

paperback can ffer.
Smetimes I prefer an audibk. It’s the nly way t read if I’m n a lng drive r if I want t multitask.
Smetimes I prefer a print bk. I lve the way bks feel in my hands. I lve flipping pages, and I lve cllecting
bkmarks. Engage with bks hwever yu want. It desn’t matter whether t buy, brrw, r dwnlad them
nline. Dn’t we have better things t d than pick apart hw ther peple take in infrmatin?
8. What des the underlined part in Para. 2 imply?
A. The authr disregarded audibks as reading.
B. The authr favred audibks ver print bks.
C. The authr wasn’t interested in traditinal reading.
D. The authr jined debates n audibks actively.
9. Accrding t the authr, what is a majr disadvantage f audibks?
A. Lacking physical bkmarks. B. Lsing track f fcus easily.
C. Csting mre than print bks. D. Reshaping riginal texts thrugh vices.
10. Why des the authr mentin Cary Elwes’ audibk?
A. T highlight the rle f vice actrs. B. T criticize its pr narratin style.
C. T shwcase its distinctive advantage. D. T emphasize print bks’ superirity.
11. What is the authr’s verall attitude tward different ways f reading?
A. Supprtive f all reading frmats. B. Oppsed t nline reading.
C. Shwing preference fr audibks. D. Strngly in favr f print bks.

A new study has fund that breathing des mre than just mve air in and ut f yur lungs — it culd even
be used t identify wh yu are. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute f Science discvered that each persn
has a distinct breathing pattern, knwn as a nasal (鼻的) breathing “fingerprint”, which reveals clues abut a persn’
s identity and health.
The researchers riginally set ut t better understand hw ur sense f smell wrks. In humans, the brain
prcesses smell during inhalatin (吸入), and this clse cnnectin between the brain and breathing led the team t
wnder: culd ur breathing patterns reflect the way ur brains are cnnected and be unique t each f us? T
explre this questin, they develped a lightweight, wearable device that tracks nasal airflw cntinuusly fr 24
hurs. The study tested 100 healthy yung adults in their daily lives. The results shwed breathing patterns can
identify individuals with 96.8 percent accuracy. Brain scientist Timna Srka said she had expected identificatin
第 6页/共 11页
t be difficult, but fund that the patterns were remarkably distinct.
Beynd individual identificatin, the study als fund clear links between breathing patterns and bdy mass
index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depressin. Imprtantly, the
researchers nted that they nly knw there is an assciatin between breathing and md, but they dn’t knw the
cause-and-effect directin — whether feeling anxius changes breathing, r a certain breathing pattern causes
anxiety. If the latter is true, changing hw we breathe culd ptentially imprve md.
Hwever, the device still has drawbacks: it can be uncmfrtable, may slip during sleep, and cannt track
muth breathing. The team is imprving it and explring its real-wrld uses. S the next time yu unlck yur
phne r pen a dr, it might nt be yur face r fingerprint that identifies yu. Instead, a simple breath culd d
the jb.
12. What is special abut a persn’s breathing “fingerprint”?
A. It helps take in mre air. B. It is unique t each individual.
C. It reflects ne’s lifestyle. D. It remains unchanged thrughut life.
13. Which f the fllwing is true accrding t paragraph 2?
A. Srka’s predictin matched the result.
B. A wearable device tracked daytime nasal airflw.
C. The study initially explred breathing-brain links.
D. Breathing patterns can reliably identify individuals.
14. What can we infer abut the relatinship between breathing and md?
A. Changes in breath culd cure anxiety. B. Their exact relatinship remains unclear.
C. Anxiety always causes abnrmal breathing. D. Breathing is respnsible fr negative md.
15. What is the main idea f this passage?
A. Breathing may replace face recgnitin.
B. A grundbreaking device tracks human breathing.
C. Breathing patterns are linked t identity and health.
D. Breathing “fingerprints” reveal ur mental cnditin.

A Magical Christmas Memry
第 10页/共 11页
Christmas was my father’s favrite hliday. He wuld carefully decrate the utside f ur brick huse,
including a huge tree shape made f many-clred lights. He hung the lights frm the tp f the rf all the way t
the grund. I wuld watch him patiently spend hurs untying thse lights, fr they were always in a terrible mess in
the bx. Althugh n ne pened the bx all year, the lights smehw became badly twisted. My parents wuld
jke that a small fantasy creature had secretly cme and made them in a mess!
Inside ur huse, ur family Christmas tree std tall in the living rm. My mther wuld carefully arrange
the branches f the man-made tree and tie them tgether with black thread t make it lk perfect! The tree wuld
stay there quietly, withut any lights, waiting fr Christmas. As the big day came near, the excitement in ur family
grew day by day. On Christmas Eve, I culd put ne small ty n the tree befre ging t bed. While I was sleeping,
Santa wuld cme and finish decrating the whle tree and leave presents under it. On Christmas mrning, I wuld
run dwnstairs quickly t see the bright, shining tree! Oh, Christmas was really amazing!
Only a few years later, my father died all f a sudden. He left my mther, wh was in deep sadness, and me
— a very sad and puzzled teenager. That year, Mm had n happiness fr Christmas at all. As Christmas Eve came
near, n ne talked abut putting up a tree. Because we had mved, we n lnger had the ld man-made tree.
I decided t bring back ur Christmas warmth fr Mm.
