Sometimes the simple act of being outside every day can be good to you. We often forget about what nature has to offer by staying inside too much. Going outside, you'll probably be exposed to numerous sensations. You might hear the crinkle of leaves under your fet, concentrate on how the breeze cools your skin, and feel the sun offering its natural warmth.

Time outside also reminds you how you share your time on Earth with countless creatures and that you must live in harmony with them. The more often you encounter animals in their natural habitats, the easier it will be to recall why it's so important to treat the outdoors with respect. After coming in contact with a squirrel, for example, you may be especially careful to throw your trash away in the nearest garbage can in case of some harmful leftover food. That's because you've just been reminded that you're not the only living thing to come in contact with what's now rubbish.

Spending too much time indoors may cause us to become too isolated from others,

especially if we use up much time in front of computer screens. It seems that a computer

connected to the Internet allows you to share parts of your world with other people, but actually it can also make us feel more disconnected from others for lack of face-to-face

communication. The time outside with a loved one allows you to take part in a shared experience. For instance, you can call attention to a type of flower that's just started blooming and allow your companions to marvel at its beauty. That's a similar shared experience.

Anyhow, it is not as hard as you might imagine. You may just decide to start an outdoor practice that takes you outside for a certain amount of time, preferably every day. The last 15 minutes of your lunch break strolling outside with a friend and some after-dinner family time discussing your days can be good options. Get off the computer and head outside! You'll feel how your choice pays off.

24.According to paragraph 1, going outside offers an opportunity for people to  ____________.

A.enjoy sensory experience

B.bring back distant memories

C.achieve better concentration

D.participate in simple activities

25.Why does the author mention a squirrel in paragraph 2?

A.To present the means of feeding animals.

B.To show the consequence of littering trash.

C.To stress the significance of experiencing nature.

D.To discuss the possibility of encountering wildlife.

26.According to the passage,those spending most time indoors may suffer from ______________.

A.attention disorder              B.loneliness attack

C.Internet addiction              D.communication barrier

27.Which of the following is the best title?

A.Time Outside Involves A Shared Experience

B.Too Much Time Indoors Does Great Harm

C.Going Outdoors Gives A Different Perspective

D.A Daily Exposure to Nature Makes a Difference

C

Two women in their 50s stand beholding in front of Guanyin of the South China Sea, an ancient Chinese sculpture in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri. Over the past 20 years, they have been visiting the museum, describing the "mother Buddha" as "beautiful and tranquil, a symbol of religious traditions in China". Measuring 2.4 meters high, 1.68 meters wide and 1.1 meters thick, the larger-than-life sculpture was carved from the trunk of a single poplar tree, which has created a sense of calm and warmth in the hall.

Since its launch in 1933, the museum has been actively collecting, preserving, studying and exhibiting works of Chinese art, ranging from ceramics to furniture, and from paintings to sculptures. And its Chinese art collection contains masterpieces in various historical stages.

An exhibition on the theme of Lively Creatures-Animals in Chinese Art was held at the museum, displaying tens of Chinese ancient paintings with images of animals in many art forms. The creatures on the paintings represented celebration, personal messages,and even political and religious agendas.

Organizers of the exhibition produced a set of cards, with images of animals on one side and their cultural meanings in Chinese artistic tradition on the other. The cards are provided for visitors for free.

"I find it very interesting, and the way that the things are drawn is very cool," says 17-year-old high school student Camden Lombard after visiting the exhibition. "I want to go to China someday to find more," he adds.

"It's kind of eye-opening and we're bringing the world together," says Makar, an educator with the school outreach and education programs of the museum. “There are so many similarities as well as beautiful differences, and we are just trying to understand and appreciate one another."

"We're in a moment when it's sometimes hard to look outside of your own personal

viewpoints," says Howard, manager of volunteer engagement at the museum. "I think having access to seeing what other cultures have created, what they valued and appreciated, and what was important to them, is really important in building that understanding about all the people we share this planet with."

28.The two women kept visiting the Nelson-Atkins Museum for ____________.

A.the grand appearance of the exhibition hall

B.their affection for Chinese religious traditions

C.the great size of the ancient Chinese sculpture

D.their curiosity about the delicate artistic carving

29.What can we learn about the exhibition Lively Creatures?

A.The organizers gained a handsome profit.

B.The cards reflected multinational cultures.

C.The visitors had rich travel experiences in China.

D.The paintings displayed the charm of Chinese culture.

30.How does Makar describe the visit to the museum?

A.Instructive and romantic.

B.Imaginary and fascinating.

C.Informative and multicultural.

D.Educational and entertaining.

31.What's the purpose of setting up the museum according to Howard?

A.To bridge different cultures.

B.To popularize religious symbols.

C.To exchange personal viewpoints.

D.To demonstrate Chinese paintings.

When Thomas Edison hit a wall with his inventions, he would nap in an armchair while holding a steel ball. As he started to fall asleep and his muscles relaxed, the ball would strike the floor, waking him with insights into his problems. Or so the story goes.

Thomas Edison was somewhat right. Now, more than 100 years later, scientists have repeated the trick in a lab, revealing that the famous inventor was on to something. People following his recipe tripled their chances of solving a math problem. The trick was to wake up in the transition between sleep and wakefulness, just before deep sleep. In this transitional period, we are not quite awake, but also not deeply asleep. It can be as short as a minute and occurs right when we start to doze off.

Researchers recruited more than 100 easy sleepers, each of whom was given a math test with a hidden rule for the answer. By recording brain activity, they found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep were three times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those who remained awake.

The creative effect happened even for people who spent just 15 seconds in the first sleep stage. But the trick didn't work for those who reached later stages of sleep. "Our findings suggest there is a creative sweet spot during sleep onset," says author Delphine Oudiette, a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. "It is a small window which can disappear if you wake up too early or sleep too deep."

The study team also identified a brain activity pattern linked to the creativity-boosting phase: moderate levels of brain waves at a slow frequency known as alpha, associated with relaxation, and low levels of delta waves, a hallmark of deep sleep. Oudiette says researchers can now focus on this brain signature when investigating the neural mechanisms (神经机制) of creative problem-solving. The team has already planned an experiment to help people reach a creative zone by monitoring their brain waves in real time." Edison was great", Oudiette says, "and now we have a lot more to explore."

32.What does the underlined phrase "was on to something" in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Discovered the truth.

B.Was absorbed in math puzzles.

C.Started the experiment.

D.Was engaged in laboratory work.

33.According to the research, the trick of promoting creativity lies in ____________.

A.gaining adequate deep sleep

B.discovering the hidden rules of problems

C.following Edison's life style

D.waking up right after nodding off to sleep

34.Why did the researchers record brain activity of the sleepers?

A.To evaluate their sleep efficiency.

B.To measure their amount of sleep.

C.To assess their levels of intelligence.

D.To compare their creative thinking abilities.

35.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?

A.Supporting evidence for the research results.

B.Potential application of the research findings

C.A further explanation of the research methods.

D.A reasonable doubt about the research process.

Sunlight flooded through the window when Tomas was sitting at the kitchen table, struggling with a literary classic. Streamers of clouds drifted by high above in the sky. Not far away, the huge new tower blocks lined the road. The faint sound of cars was dimly heard.

His mother was chopping tomatoes for their dinner as usual. Suddenly she said, "You know, the thing I miss most is cooking a really hot salsa (辣番茄酱)，with fresh peppers straight from the garden.” She sighed. "That's what I miss most about Merida."

Tomas looked up from his book in surprise. His mother had never talked like this about their old life before. He studied her now. She looked a little sad, but then she smiled at him and swept the pile of chopped tomatoes into the cooking pot.

“But I’ve already learned a lot about this new country, Tomas," she said. "For a start, I've learned that there's more than one way to make a salsa!" She waved a packet of chili spice powder at him, and they both laughed.

Watching his mother busy in the kitchen preparing dinner, Tomas thought about the insight his mother had given him into her feelings, and he realized that he felt the same way about leaving.

Sure, it had been great for his father to get this good job, but it had also been hard. Tomas missed his old home-especially the sun and the beach. And his mother missed Merida, too. She had loved working in her market garden, selling the fresh vegetables that she had grown herself and then coming home to cook up huge, tasty meals for her family. Tomas's stomach rumbled at the memories.

He thought about how different things were for them now, living in this large, gray apartment block where there was no garden and no friends dropping by to share their delicious meals.

He sighed. At least they were still able to speak regularly every night after dinner with his grandmother back in Mexico over the computer-Grandmother! Abuela!
