It's a Saturday night, the kids are asleep and we have n plans. Befre we fall int ur rutine and watch a mvie, I try t talk my husband int playing a card game. Uncnvinced, he cntinues tapping away n his phne. But just befre disappearing int the scial media rabbit hle, he has an idea. He lks ver me and suggests, "Why dn't we try calling ne f ur friends?"
I lk at him with raised brws, as if his suggestin is smewhat ridiculus and perhaps even scially unacceptable. Yu can't just call smene ut f the blue nw… right? But then I think again and realize that at ne pint in time, in the nt s distant past, this was the nrm. I spent my early teenage years cnnecting with friends thrugh a phne that was cnnected t a wall. It wasn't "smart", but it allwed me t keep in tuch with the latest gssip and news. We wuld chat fr hurs, 6 smetimes while I hid under my blanket in rder t avid the chance f being caught by my parents.
I culd even memrize the phne numbers f lved nes then. While I did wn an address bk—and there was always the White Pages, where yu culd lk peple up by their names—I had the cntact details f special friends, first lves and family members cmmitted t memry. I guess these days, they wuld be n my "Favrites" list in my smartphne.
Tday, many f my "favrite" peple are fllwed frm a distance thrugh scial media, and even they very rarely—if ever—wuld get an actual call frm me. The birth annuncement by my ldest friend is received thrugh catching a well-defined bump int a pht that I scrll past. The news f a divrce frm a cuple whm I had cnsidered my secnd parents when I was in middle schl arrives after a pht f a wman led me n a quest fr mre gssip. Bits f such infrmatin, a cllectin f wnderful, exciting, shcking and als bring news, may have been a part f my digital feed fr years. The idea f actually picking up the phne t recnnect with a lng-lst friend is an intimidating ne—even seeing the name f an ld friend pp up in an incming call can feel a little afraid.
I ask my husband, "Wh wuld we call?" After tssing arund a few names, we agree n sme ptential candidates—peple whse lives have taken them in different directins, but with whm we still share deep friendships.
(1) Hw des the authr feel abut her husband's suggestin at first?
A．Excited.B．Mtivated.C．Nervus.D．Surprised.
(2) With the phne, the authr's teenage years was _____.
A．difficult but interestingB．peaceful and meaningful
C．pleasant and unfrgettableD．incnvenient but enjyable
(3) In the fllwing days, the cuple may _____.
A．share mre f their private infrmatin with thers
B．cntact mre lng-lst friends thrugh scial media
C．have mre persnal cmmunicatins with their friends
D．add mre friends' names t the cntact lists in their phnes
Mathew White, an envirnmental psychlgist, is n a missin t give Mther Nature the respect he thinks she deserves when it cmes t human health. Fr decades, scientists and health-care prfessinals have recgnized that expsure t green spaces, such as public parks r frests, is linked with lwer risks f all srts f illnesses cmmn in the wrld. Experimental wrk has demnstrated varius physilgical respnses that ccur when peple spend time in natural envirnments: bld pressure drps, heart rate decreases, immune functin imprves, and the nervus system directs the bdy t rest and digest.
As humans increasingly ppulate urbanized areas, they are spending less and less time in natural envirnments. But befre dctrs can start advising their patients t head t the nearest park, there is an imprtant utstanding questin, says White: Hw much time in nature d yu need t generate these apparent benefits? Mst f the research that has linked health utcmes with expsure t the natural wrld didn't use frequency r duratin f park visits, but rather the amunt f green space within a certain distance f a persn's hme, White says. But "it's nt s much where yu live; it's whether yu use it r nt."
S he cllected data t estimate what dse (剂量) f nature was needed t shw benefits t a persn's health. White's grup fund the answer he was after: Spending at least tw hurs in nature per week was strngly crrelated with self-reprts f being in gd health r having high wellbeing. "I was very surprised, t be hnest," says White, wh had been expecting a much lnger time. "We had n idea that such a clear threshld f time per week wuld emerge frm the data."
He was further surprised t learn that it didn't seem t matter hw many trips t a park peple tk, s lng as they gt in their tw hurs per week. It culd be a lng visit ne day, a cuple f hur-lng trips, three visits f 40 minutes, r fur half-hur excursins. He and his clleagues speculate that, if nature's apparent health benefits are a result f being able t de-stress, then whatever pattern f green space expsure fits ne's schedule is prbably the best way t achieve that gal.
Health-care recmmendatins fr peple t spend time in nature are prbably years away, but the mvement has begun. Several rganizatins arund the wrld are wrking t prmte awareness f nature's cntributin t health. Sme researchers have used the term "a dse f nature" t evaluate the amunt f expsure needed t gain benefits. "That was kind f the deliberate medicalizatin f the language arund nature and health," says White.
(1) White's research fcused n _____.
A．required amunt f green space
B．benefits frm the expsure t nature
C．necessary time length f nature visits
D．physical respnses t utdr activities
(2) What des the underlined phrase "threshld f time" in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A．Maximum time.B．Minimum time.
C．Adequate time.D．Average time.
(3) Frm the last paragraph, we can infer that White _____.
A．is cnfident abut his missin
B．is willing t cperate with thers
C．has persuaded thers t accept his idea
D．has adpted the term fr his research result
(4) What's the best title fr the passage?
A．Respect fr NatureB．Nature as Medicine
C．Present frm NatureD．Missin in Nature
Once I tld smene I wanted t get a master's degree f fine arts in creative writing and they tld me it was the secnd-t-wrst pst-graduatin plan they'd ever heard frm a student. Arts degrees—especially fine arts degrees, which usually cme in the frm f music, studi art, creative writing and theater—have been, ver the years, labeled useless.
It's true that fr the mst part, STEM degrees lead t higher paying jbs than liberal and fine arts degrees, and it's understandable why yung peple care abut a higher starting salary and financial security. Student lan debt is playing a rle in the physical and mental stress f yung peple.
And while STEM majrs usually have starting salaries that are $20,000 higher than thse f liberal arts majrs, by the time peple reach the age f 40, the salaries between thse wh majred in the liberal arts and thse wh majred in STEM are virtually the same. Fr example, wmen wh majr in STEM earned nearly 50% mre than scial science and histry majrs at ages 23-25, but nly 10% mre by ages 38-40, a New Yrk Times analysis reprted. S even in terms f salary, which desn't slely determine whether r nt a degree is useful, liberal arts degrees aren't all that far behind STEM.
It seems t that since peple nwadays are ging t have t wrk lnger, it's mre imprtant than ever that we actually like and care abut what we're ding. Pursuing smething enjyable, r else a passin, is cntinuusly fund t be a key factr in maintaining healthy relatinships, mental health, physical health and energy. In ther wrds, nt useless.
Art is als a methd f cmmunicatin. It allws peple frm different backgrunds, frm different walks f life t cmmunicate with each ther. In a wrld where brders and divisin seem t be all ver the place, we need art mre than ever. We need liberal arts majrs. And mre than anything, we need t be able t pursue what we lve with cnfidence, and we need t nt get caught up in the "usefulness" f what we lve.
And just because smene's primary jb isn't in their field f study—a writer wh teaches high schl fr example—desn't make the degree useless. It just means that their way f finding a stable incme is different. The same ges fr artists wh have t wrk multiple jbs t supprt themselves. They might have t find ther means f supprting themselves and their artistry. It might be cpy editing r it might be tutring.
S I am ging t graduate schl, and I am ging t graduate schl fr writing. I might be paying rent by way f vernight restaurant shifts—there's s much I'm nt sure f. But ne thing I am sure f is this—I wuld rather be a writer wrking tw jbs t pay my bills than be n writer at all.
(1) A New Yrk Times analysis reprt is mentined in Paragraph 3 t _____.
A．analyse the ptential value f different majrs
B．put frward the pinin n majrs by example
C．prve the argument against arts degrees wrng
D．demnstrate the link between majrs and incmes
(2) Why des the authr think learning arts is useful?
A．Fllwing ne's dream f arts keeps ne in gd cnditin.
B．Ding what ne lves builds up ne's self-cnfidence in arts.
C．Mastering arts imprves ne's understanding f different jbs.
D．Develping a lve fr arts helps ne maintain passin fr wrk.
(3) The authr thinks that ding multiple jbs is _____.
A．unavidableB．cmmnC．traditinalD．acceptable
(4) What can we infer frm the passage?
A．Students learning arts are mre cncerned abut the value f life.
B．Peple tend t place incme in the first place when chsing majrs.
C．The man wh desn't lve his wrk wn't stick with the jb fr lng.
D．Graduates can find a brader space f develpment in the field f arts.
At ne pint r anther, yu've prbably heard smene speak with cnfidence n a tpic that they actually knw almst nthing abut. This phenmenn is knwn as the Dunning-Kruger effect, which refers t the finding that peple wh are relatively unskilled r unknwledgeable in a particular subject smetimes have the tendency t verestimate their knwledge and abilities.
In a set f studies, researchers Justin Kruger and David Dunning asked participants t cmplete tests f their skills in a particular dmain. Then, participants were asked t guess hw well they had dne n the test. This effect was mst prnunced amng participants with the lwest scres n the test.
David Dunning explains that "the knwledge and intelligence that are required t be gd at a task are ften the same qualities needed t recgnize that ne is nt gd at that task." In ther wrds, if smene knws very little abut a particular tpic, they may nt even knw enugh abut the tpic t realize that their knwledge is limited. Imprtantly, smene may be highly skilled in ne area, but be influenced by the Dunning-Kruger effect in anther dmain.
If peple wh knw very little abut a tpic think they're experts, what d experts think f themselves? Interestingly, Dunning and Kruger fund that althugh experts typically guessed their perfrmance was abve average, they didn't realize quite hw well they had dne. They ften make a different mistake:
What can peple d t vercme the effect? Dunning and Kruger nce had sme f the participants take a lgic test and then cmplete a shrt training sessin n lgical reasning. After the training, the participants were asked t assess hw they'd dne n the previus test. Afterward, the participants wh scred in the bttm 25 percent lwered their estimate f hw well they thught they had dne n the initial test. In ther wrds, ne way t vercme the effect may be t learn mre abut a tpic.
The Dunning-Kruger effect suggests that we may nt always knw as much as we think we d. Hwever, by challenging urselves t learn mre and by reading abut ppsing views, we can wrk t vercme the effect.
(1)
A．Researchers fund that the training made a difference.
B．They assume that everyne else is knwledgeable, t.
C．This happens when peple dn't knw much abut a tpic.
D．All f them had a mre accurate view f their perfrmance.
E．They fund that participants tended t verestimate their abilities.
F．This means that everyne can ptentially be affected by the Dunning-Kruger effect.
G．In sme dmains, we may nt knw enugh abut a tpic t realize that we are unskilled.

Saving a Tiger Named Cinderella
On an icy day in February 2012, tw hunters in eastern Russia discvered a limp bundle f fur lying in the snw. It was an rphaned cub (幼虎)! The cub hadn't eaten in days, and was enugh fr the hunters just t pick her up. Dr. Dale Miquelle, directr f the Wildlife Cnservatin Sciety's Russia Prgram, said, "A healthy tiger cub, even a three-mnth-ld ne, wuld give yu reasn t befre yu stuck yur hand t clse t its teeth and claws. But this cub had n left in her."
The hunters wrapped the cub in a cat and her t a lcal wildlife inspectr, Andrey Oryl. Over the fllwing weeks, Oryl the rphaned cub back t health. But nw he had a new prblem: What culd he d with an three-mnth-ld tiger?
The cub was an Amur tiger. a small number f Amur tigers remained in the wild, s scientists wanted t return cubs t their natural habitat. The rphaned cub was taken t a new wildlife center. The center was designed fr raising wild animals withut them t peple. It uses hidden cameras and cvered fences t keep wrkers ut f . That way, the animals dn't becme n humans.
The cub, nw named Cinderella, became the center's first tiger. Over the next year, she grew int a big, healthy tigress. In the center, she learned t hunt. By the spring f 2013, experts agreed she was t return t the wild.
They chse the perfect new fr their tiger princess: the Bastak Nature Reserve. During the next tw years, researchers watched Cinderella's . They set up cameras t snap phts. When Cinderella passed in frnt f ne f these camera , it tk her picture. Cinderella nt nly , but grew healthy and strng.
Then, in December 2015, the cameras exciting news: Cinderella had becme a mther! Fr the first time ever, a tiger that humans had and returned t the wild had given birth t tw cubs f her wn.

It's a Saturday night, the kids are asleep and we have n plans. Befre we fall int ur rutine and watch a mvie, I try t talk my husband int playing a card game. Uncnvinced, he cntinues tapping away n his phne. But just befre disappearing int the scial media rabbit hle, he has an idea. He lks ver me and suggests, "Why dn't we try calling ne f ur friends?"
I lk at him with raised brws, as if his suggestin is smewhat ridiculus and perhaps even scially unacceptable. Yu can't just call smene ut f the blue nw… right? But then I think again and realize that at ne pint in time, in the nt s distant past, this was the nrm. I spent my early teenage years cnnecting with friends thrugh a phne that was cnnected t a wall. It wasn't "smart", but it allwed me t keep in tuch with the latest gssip and news. We wuld chat fr hurs, 6 smetimes while I hid under my blanket in rder t avid the chance f being caught by my parents.
I culd even memrize the phne numbers f lved nes then. While I did wn an address bk—and there was always the White Pages, where yu culd lk peple up by their names—I had the cntact details f special friends, first lves and family members cmmitted t memry. I guess these days, they wuld be n my "Favrites" list in my smartphne.
Tday, many f my "favrite" peple are fllwed frm a distance thrugh scial media, and even they very rarely—if ever—wuld get an actual call frm me. The birth annuncement by my ldest friend is received thrugh catching a well-defined bump int a pht that I scrll past. The news f a divrce frm a cuple whm I had cnsidered my secnd parents when I was in middle schl arrives after a pht f a wman led me n a quest fr mre gssip. Bits f such infrmatin, a cllectin f wnderful, exciting, shcking and als bring news, may have been a part f my digital feed fr years. The idea f actually picking up the phne t recnnect with a lng-lst friend is an intimidating ne—even seeing the name f an ld friend pp up in an incming call can feel a little afraid.
I ask my husband, "Wh wuld we call?" After tssing arund a few names, we agree n sme ptential candidates—peple whse lives have taken them in different directins, but with whm we still share deep friendships.
(1) Hw des the authr feel abut her husband's suggestin at first?
A．Excited.B．Mtivated.C．Nervus.D．Surprised.
(2) With the phne, the authr's teenage years was _____.
A．difficult but interestingB．peaceful and meaningful
C．pleasant and unfrgettableD．incnvenient but enjyable
(3) In the fllwing days, the cuple may _____.
A．share mre f their private infrmatin with thers
B．cntact mre lng-lst friends thrugh scial media
C．have mre persnal cmmunicatins with their friends
D．add mre friends' names t the cntact lists in their phnes
Mathew White, an envirnmental psychlgist, is n a missin t give Mther Nature the respect he thinks she deserves when it cmes t human health. Fr decades, scientists and health-care prfessinals have recgnized that expsure t green spaces, such as public parks r frests, is linked with lwer risks f all srts f illnesses cmmn in the wrld. Experimental wrk has demnstrated varius physilgical respnses that ccur when peple spend time in natural envirnments: bld pressure drps, heart rate decreases, immune functin imprves, and the nervus system directs the bdy t rest and digest.
As humans increasingly ppulate urbanized areas, they are spending less and less time in natural envirnments. But befre dctrs can start advising their patients t head t the nearest park, there is an imprtant utstanding questin, says White: Hw much time in nature d yu need t generate these apparent benefits? Mst f the research that has linked health utcmes with expsure t the natural wrld didn't use frequency r duratin f park visits, but rather the amunt f green space within a certain distance f a persn's hme, White says. But "it's nt s much where yu live; it's whether yu use it r nt."
S he cllected data t estimate what dse (剂量) f nature was needed t shw benefits t a persn's health. White's grup fund the answer he was after: Spending at least tw hurs in nature per week was strngly crrelated with self-reprts f being in gd health r having high wellbeing. "I was very surprised, t be hnest," says White, wh had been expecting a much lnger time. "We had n idea that such a clear threshld f time per week wuld emerge frm the data."
He was further surprised t learn that it didn't seem t matter hw many trips t a park peple tk, s lng as they gt in their tw hurs per week. It culd be a lng visit ne day, a cuple f hur-lng trips, three visits f 40 minutes, r fur half-hur excursins. He and his clleagues speculate that, if nature's apparent health benefits are a result f being able t de-stress, then whatever pattern f green space expsure fits ne's schedule is prbably the best way t achieve that gal.
Health-care recmmendatins fr peple t spend time in nature are prbably years away, but the mvement has begun. Several rganizatins arund the wrld are wrking t prmte awareness f nature's cntributin t health. Sme researchers have used the term "a dse f nature" t evaluate the amunt f expsure needed t gain benefits. "That was kind f the deliberate medicalizatin f the language arund nature and health," says White.
(1) White's research fcused n _____.
A．required amunt f green space
B．benefits frm the expsure t nature
C．necessary time length f nature visits
D．physical respnses t utdr activities
(2) What des the underlined phrase "threshld f time" in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A．Maximum time.B．Minimum time.
C．Adequate time.D．Average time.
(3) Frm the last paragraph, we can infer that White _____.
A．is cnfident abut his missin
B．is willing t cperate with thers
C．has persuaded thers t accept his idea
D．has adpted the term fr his research result
(4) What's the best title fr the passage?
A．Respect fr NatureB．Nature as Medicine
C．Present frm NatureD．Missin in Nature
Once I tld smene I wanted t get a master's degree f fine arts in creative writing and they tld me it was the secnd-t-wrst pst-graduatin plan they'd ever heard frm a student. Arts degrees—especially fine arts degrees, which usually cme in the frm f music, studi art, creative writing and theater—have been, ver the years, labeled useless.
It's true that fr the mst part, STEM degrees lead t higher paying jbs than liberal and fine arts degrees, and it's understandable why yung peple care abut a higher starting salary and financial security. Student lan debt is playing a rle in the physical and mental stress f yung peple.
And while STEM majrs usually have starting salaries that are $20,000 higher than thse f liberal arts majrs, by the time peple reach the age f 40, the salaries between thse wh majred in the liberal arts and thse wh majred in STEM are virtually the same. Fr example, wmen wh majr in STEM earned nearly 50% mre than scial science and histry majrs at ages 23-25, but nly 10% mre by ages 38-40, a New Yrk Times analysis reprted. S even in terms f salary, which desn't slely determine whether r nt a degree is useful, liberal arts degrees aren't all that far behind STEM.
It seems t that since peple nwadays are ging t have t wrk lnger, it's mre imprtant than ever that we actually like and care abut what we're ding. Pursuing smething enjyable, r else a passin, is cntinuusly fund t be a key factr in maintaining healthy relatinships, mental health, physical health and energy. In ther wrds, nt useless.
Art is als a methd f cmmunicatin. It allws peple frm different backgrunds, frm different walks f life t cmmunicate with each ther. In a wrld where brders and divisin seem t be all ver the place, we need art mre than ever. We need liberal arts majrs. And mre than anything, we need t be able t pursue what we lve with cnfidence, and we need t nt get caught up in the "usefulness" f what we lve.
And just because smene's primary jb isn't in their field f study—a writer wh teaches high schl fr example—desn't make the degree useless. It just means that their way f finding a stable incme is different. The same ges fr artists wh have t wrk multiple jbs t supprt themselves. They might have t find ther means f supprting themselves and their artistry. It might be cpy editing r it might be tutring.
S I am ging t graduate schl, and I am ging t graduate schl fr writing. I might be paying rent by way f vernight restaurant shifts—there's s much I'm nt sure f. But ne thing I am sure f is this—I wuld rather be a writer wrking tw jbs t pay my bills than be n writer at all.
(1) A New Yrk Times analysis reprt is mentined in Paragraph 3 t _____.
A．analyse the ptential value f different majrs
B．put frward the pinin n majrs by example
C．prve the argument against arts degrees wrng
D．demnstrate the link between majrs and incmes
(2) Why des the authr think learning arts is useful?
A．Fllwing ne's dream f arts keeps ne in gd cnditin.
B．Ding what ne lves builds up ne's self-cnfidence in arts.
C．Mastering arts imprves ne's understanding f different jbs.
D．Develping a lve fr arts helps ne maintain passin fr wrk.
(3) The authr thinks that ding multiple jbs is _____.
A．unavidableB．cmmnC．traditinalD．acceptable
(4) What can we infer frm the passage?
A．Students learning arts are mre cncerned abut the value f life.
B．Peple tend t place incme in the first place when chsing majrs.
C．The man wh desn't lve his wrk wn't stick with the jb fr lng.
D．Graduates can find a brader space f develpment in the field f arts.
At ne pint r anther, yu've prbably heard smene speak with cnfidence n a tpic that they actually knw almst nthing abut. This phenmenn is knwn as the Dunning-Kruger effect, which refers t the finding that peple wh are relatively unskilled r unknwledgeable in a particular subject smetimes have the tendency t verestimate their knwledge and abilities.
In a set f studies, researchers Justin Kruger and David Dunning asked participants t cmplete tests f their skills in a particular dmain. Then, participants were asked t guess hw well they had dne n the test. This effect was mst prnunced amng participants with the lwest scres n the test.
David Dunning explains that "the knwledge and intelligence that are required t be gd at a task are ften the same qualities needed t recgnize that ne is nt gd at that task." In ther wrds, if smene knws very little abut a particular tpic, they may nt even knw enugh abut the tpic t realize that their knwledge is limited. Imprtantly, smene may be highly skilled in ne area, but be influenced by the Dunning-Kruger effect in anther dmain.
If peple wh knw very little abut a tpic think they're experts, what d experts think f themselves? Interestingly, Dunning and Kruger fund that althugh experts typically guessed their perfrmance was abve average, they didn't realize quite hw well they had dne. They ften make a different mistake:
What can peple d t vercme the effect? Dunning and Kruger nce had sme f the participants take a lgic test and then cmplete a shrt training sessin n lgical reasning. After the training, the participants were asked t assess hw they'd dne n the previus test. Afterward, the participants wh scred in the bttm 25 percent lwered their estimate f hw well they thught they had dne n the initial test. In ther wrds, ne way t vercme the effect may be t learn mre abut a tpic.
The Dunning-Kruger effect suggests that we may nt always knw as much as we think we d. Hwever, by challenging urselves t learn mre and by reading abut ppsing views, we can wrk t vercme the effect.
(1)
A．Researchers fund that the training made a difference.
B．They assume that everyne else is knwledgeable, t.
C．This happens when peple dn't knw much abut a tpic.
D．All f them had a mre accurate view f their perfrmance.
E．They fund that participants tended t verestimate their abilities.
F．This means that everyne can ptentially be affected by the Dunning-Kruger effect.
