It was a history-making moment at Miller ＆ Miller’s Canadiana ＆Decorative Arts auction （拍卖） when the hammer finally came down for a rare Maud Lewis painting.

Lewis was a Canadian artist who painted brightly colored scenes. She sold her paintings by the side of the road for $2 toS3. Painting wasn't easy, since she suffered from a physical challenge that made moving painful. John Kinnear, also an artist, struck up a friendship with the then-little-known Lewis after reading an article about her. He mailed her boxes of painting supplies. At the time, Lewis, with her husband, lived in a one-room house with no electricity or running water, using simple house paint to paint. After receiving the supplies, Lewis wrote back insisting on repaying him with some of her paintings. Kinnear sold some of them, sending some money back to Lewis and using the remainder to buy her more paint.

Kinnear was friends with Irene and Tony Demas, who owned a restaurant where he ate lunch every day. One day, Kinnear told them he had some paintings by an artist and wondered if they might consider swapping a few grilled cheese lunches for one of them. "When we saw the paintings, we were shocked, and both of us were hesitant, "recalls Irene. "I had never seen anything like them. They were so childlike, with cats and cows. "But they ended up agreeing to the trade, choosing a painting called Black Truck.

Over 50 years later, they're long retired and are now considering travelling more. They hoped to sell the painting. In the years since Lewis died, her paintings have become famous. But it was a recent scare that really urged them into action. After having non-glare glass added to the painting, the business street where the framer lived burned to the ground just days after they picked up their painting. "We saw that Miller & Miller had sold one not long ago, "says Irene. "We trusted the Miller brothers. "

Recently, the painting was sold at auction for CA $350, 000.

In 2022, 61 companies in the United Kingdom （UK） took part in the world's largest test of a four- day work week.

The pilot program, conducted in the UK, guided over 60 companies and almost 3, 000 workers through a six-month trial of a 4 day week, with no loss of pay for workers. Overall results show that almost every organization will stick to a 4-day week post-trial, with 91% definitely continuing or planning to continue, and a further 4% leaning towards continuing.

Companies rated their overall experience of the trials an average of 8. 5/10, with business productivity and business performance each scoring 7. 5/10. Profits rose by 35% over the trial periods when compared to similar periods from the previous year and hiring increased while absenteeism decreased.

Lead researcher, Professor Juliet Schor of Boston College observed an encouraging consistency in the data. "Results are largely steady across workplaces of varying sizes, showing it works for many types of organizations. There are also some interesting differences. We found that employees in non-profits and professional services had a larger average increase in time spent exercising, while those in construction enjoyed the largest reductions in burnout and sleep problems, "she said. Getting the carbon footprint down is also encouraging, with commuting （通勤）time falling by a half bour per week.

How did workers do more in less time? Some companies cut meetings, or made sure they were shorter. Others used technology to help workers get more done quickly. Some companies created a "focus time" so workers could work on just one thing without being interrupted.

In general, workers said the four-day work week left them feeling less tired. About 71% said they felt less "burnt out" with their new work hours, and 39% said they felt less stressed. On average, 73% of the workers were more satisfied with the time they spent working

28. Which of the following best describes the experiment?

A. Controversial.

B. Ambitious.

29. What can we say about the four-day work week?

C. I's environmentally friendly.

D. It's unfit for big companies.

30. What are the statistics in the last paragraph about?

A. Working habits.

B. Joy at work.

C. Health management.

D. Business performance.

31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Monday-Friday Model Is Outdated

C. 4-Day Workweek Trial Finishes

D. 4-Day Workweek Could Be Coming

Ever been hungry enough to eat a house? Now, you actually could.

Food waste is a big problem in Japan and globally. Japan produced around 5. 7 million tons of food waste in 2019. The government plans to reduce that by around 2. 7 million tons by 2030. Tokyo University researchers Kota Machida and Yuya Sakai have developed a way to transform food waste into cement （水泥）for construction use and more. This is the first-ever process created for making cement entirely from food waste. The researchers say their product is four times as strong as traditional concrete. This particular cement can be used to make things like tea cups or chairs as well. However, there’s one additional feature-it’s also edible （可食的）.

Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc. , a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming.

As expected, something this unique took years to develop. It took a few attempts to find just the right process. Kota and Yuya created the unique technology while researching possible environmentally- friendly materials to replace cement-based concrete. Cement production accounts for 8% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions.

After a few failures, they realized they could get the cement to bind （黏合）by adjusting the temperatures. "The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures, "Yuya said. So the researchers had to observe them and respond in time. In the experiments, Kota and Yuya have successfully made cement using tea leaves, coffee grounds, cabbage. and even lunchbox leftovers.

Fabula Inc. is currently working to make tea cups and furniture, but Yuya is thinking a little bit bigger. Their product could provide relief in the form of edible emergency shelters in disaster ones "For example, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement, "he said. To eat the material, a person needs to break it apart and boil it.

32. Which is one of Kota and Yuya' purposes in making use of food waste?

A. To offer Fabula Inc. more cement.

B. To produce building materials.

C. To warn how serious food waste is.

D. To extend concrete's service life.

33. What did Kota and Yuya assess previously about making edible cement?

A. Its damage to the environment.

B. It cost of recycling the cement.

C. Its difficulties they would face.

D. Its popularity among the public.

34. What made the experiment of making cement out of food waste harder?

A. Making sure to make cement tasty.

B. Selecting correct food waste timely.

C. Getting cement broken apart easily.

D. Regulating the temperatures constantly.

35. What does the underlined word "makeshift" in the last paragraph mean?

A. Temporary.

B. Strong.

C. Bendable.

D. Commercial.

The Oxford Dictionary describes staycations as "a holiday spent in one's home country rather than abroad, or one spent at home and involving day trips to local attractions. "36

It gives you almost 100% of restful time with little to no prep. Stop to consider the following: the ratio （比例）of quality time that’s spent on relaxation is more important than the number of days for holidays. 37 For instance, a weekend break that consists of long travel on either side is no recipe （良方）for relaxation.

This is one of the reasons why staycations are more refreshing than vacations. 38 Instead of losing time and energy preparing for a vacation, a staycation will provide you with high-quality resting time. You'll get back to work feeling more refreshed, and relaxed.

39 Staycations also tick some of the same boxes as vacations like experiencing new things. You just need to explore nearby things which you have never paid attention to. Often we overlook the attractions that are near to us. 40 However, if you make an effort to explore the area close to where you live, you may be pleasantly surprised. There will be cafes and restaurants you've never tried, historic buildings you've never seen before, and nature parks you've never visited. So with a little effort on your part, you'll be able to experience new and exciting things close to home.

A. They act as real breaks from work and life pressure.

B. If you give this some thought, you'll realize that it's true.

C. A vacation can leave you more tired than before your trip.

D. In addition, it can offer you fresh experiences immediately.

E. Let's take a look at the great things about taking a staycation.

F. Staycations don't mean long traveling, which costs you a lot less.

C. We often choose to spend big amounts of money visiting foreign1 countries.
