I enjy thrwing stuff away. I’d lve t g full minimalism(极简主义),but my wife and tw teenage kids d nt share my dream f a huse with almst nthing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my tw favrite games —“D We Need It?” and “Put It in Its Place”— and made them play every few mnths. Their enthusiasm never matched mine.
If I’m ging t be hnest, my wn tidying skills are nt as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash muntain I want because I make up excuses fr why things are useful. I cnsider this unhealthy. I want t be better at mving n.
S, this time I fund help — the classics fr peple like me: The Life-Changing Magic f Tidying Up.by Marie Knd. Knd’s cmmitment t her craft is astnishing. Her philsphy is nly t keep things yu lve. Can I g full Knd? I will try. One central idea is t clean by categry. Yu start by cllecting all clthes and gathering them tgether fr cnsideratin. It makes yu rethink hw yu rganize. Next, hld each item and ask if it brings yu jy. This way yu’re chsing what t keep. And that’s hw I find myself with all my clthes n my bedrm flr. My wife walks by and gives me a lk that says I’m nuts. She’s prbably nt wrng.
Smewhere near the bttm f this chas is my special jacket. I mve thrugh the pile: pants, shirts, suits and shes. Then my last categry: jackets. I haven’t wrn the thing in abut 30 years. Smehw, it has survived. Nw that I’m striving(力求)t fllw Knd — surely, its time has cme?
I hld it in my hand. There is a tear just belw the cllar that widens as I hld it. It’s literally falling apart. Will I ever wear it again? Nt a chance. Des it feel gd t wear? Des it bring me jy? Actually, yes. At this mment, my daughter walks in. She asks abut the jacket. I tell her the stry. She thinks I shuld keep it. It’s cl and unique and full f memries. She is arguing that nstalgia(怀念)is the very reasn.
I’m nt entirely cnvinced by my daughter’s arguments. I believe in lking ahead, nt backward. Nevertheless, smetimes it’s hard t let g. S I gently place the jacket n the “keep” pile.
4．What des the underlined wrd “discarded” prbably mean in Paragraph 2?
A．AdjustedB．keptC．abandnedD．tidied
5．What drives the authr t read The Life-Changing Magic f Tidying Up?
A．T learn hw t categrize.B．T imprve his tidying skills.

6．What is the attitude f the authr’s family members tward minimalism?
A．They are curius abut it.B．They cmpletely supprt it.
C．They are strngly against it.D．They are less passinate abut it.
7．The authr keeps the jacket prbably because f _______.

We all knw that unpleasant feeling when we’re talking abut smething interesting and halfway thrugh ur sentence we’re interrupted (打断). But was that really an interruptin? The answer depends n whm yu ask, accrding t new research led by Katherine Hiltn frm Stanfrd University.
Using a set f cntrlled audi clips, Hiltn surveyed 5,000 American English speakers t better understand what affects peple’s perceptins f interruptins. She had participants listen t audi clips and then answer questins abut whether the speakers seemed t be friendly and engaged, listening t ne anther, r trying t interrupt.
Hiltn fund that American English speakers have different cnversatinal styles. She identified tw grups: high and lw Intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally uncmfrtable with mments f silence in cnversatin and cnsider talking at the same time a sign f engagement. Lw intensity speakers find it rude t talk at the same time and prefer peple speak ne after anther in cnversatin.
The differences in cnversatinal styles became bvius when participants listened t audi clips in which tw peple spke at the same time but were agreeing with each ther and stayed n tpic, Hiltn said. The high intensity grup reprted that cnversatins where peple spke at the same time when expressing agreement were nt interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the cnversatins with mments f silence in between speaking turns. In cntrast, the lw intensity grup perceived any amunt f simultaneus (同时) chat as a rude interruptin, regardless f what the speakers were saying.
“Peple care abut being interrupted, and thse small interruptins can have a massive effect n the verall cmmunicatin,” Hiltn said. “Breaking apart what an interruptin means is essential if we want t understand hw humans interact with each ther.”
8．What des Hiltn’s research fcus n?
A．What interruptins mean t peple.
B．Whether interruptin is gd r nt.
C．Hw t avid getting interrupted.
D．Why speakers interrupt each ther.
9．What d participants f the study need t d?
A．Recrd an audi clip.B．Answer sme questins.
C．Listen t ne anther.D．Have a chat with a friend.
10．What d lw intensity speakers think f simultaneus chat?
A．It’s imprtant.B．It’s interesting
C．It’s inefficient.D．It’s implite.
11．What can we learn frm Hiltn’s research?
A．Cnversatinal styles affect perceptins f interruptins.
B．Cmmunicatin is the very basis f ur everyday life.
C．Interruptins during cnversatins cntribute t thinking.
D．Language barriers will always exist regardless f the cntent.
In rder t help discver spilage(变质）and reduce fd waste fr supermarkets and cnsumers,researchers have develped new lw-cst,smart phne-linked, ec-friendly spilage sensrs fr meat and fish packaging.
One in three UK cnsumers thrw away fd just because it reaches the use-by date(保存期），but 60%(4.2 millin tnnes)f the £12.5 billin-wrth f fd we thrw away each year is safe t eat.
The researchers,whse findings were published in ACS Sensrs,say the sensrs culd als eventually replace the use-by date-a widely used indicatr f being fresh and eatable.
The sensrs cst tw US cents each t make.Knwn as"paper-based electrical gas sensrs(PEGS)",they detect spilage gases like ammnia(a pisnus gas with a strng unpleasant smell)in meat and fish prducts.The infrmatin prvided by the electrnic nse is received by a smart phne,and then yu can knw whether the fd is fresh and safe t eat.
The Imperial Cllege Lndn researchers wh develped PEGS made the sensrs by printing carbn electrdes(电极）nt a special type f paper.The materials are ec-friendly and harmless,s they dn't damage the envirnment and are safe t use in fd packaging.The sensrs,cmbined with a tiny electrnic system,then infrm nearby mbile devices,which identify and understand the data abut spilage gases.
Lead authr Dr Firat Guder,f Imperial's Department f Biengineering,said, ＂Althugh they're designed t keep us safe,use-by dates can lead t eatable fd being thrwn away.They dn't always reflect its actual freshness.In fact,peple ften get sick frm fdbrne diseases due t pr strage,even when an item is within its use-by date.
＂These sensrs are cheap enugh s we hpe t see supermarkets using them within three years.Our gal is t use PEGS in fd packaging t reduce unnecessary fd waste."
The authrs hpe that PEGS culd have applicatins beynd fd prcessing,like sensing chemicals in agriculture,air quality,and detecting disease markers in breath like thse invlved in kidney disease.
12．What is the functin f PEGS accrding t the text?
A．T imprve the service f stres.
B．T help supermarkets stre fds.
C．T imprve the taste f fd prducts.
D．T help peple test fd freshness.
13．What rle des the smartphne play while PEGS are functining?
A．It acts as an electrnic nse.
B．It reads the data cllected by PEGS.
C．It discvers the spilage gases frm fds.
D．It helps print the gas sensrs nt paper.
14．What des Dr Firat Guder say abut use-by dates?
A．They are nt cmpletely reliable.
B．They can help reduce fd waste.
C．They are nt accepted by cnsumers.
D．They are based n scientific research.
15．What des the authr mainly talk abut in the text?
A．The prcess f researching spilage sensrs.
B．A new technlgy in packaging t reduce fd waste.
C．Use-by dates 'influence n supermarkets and cnsumers.
D．The applicatin f spilage sensrs beynd fd prcessing.

On Saturday, we gathered at the hall t witness the award ceremny fr the senir scuts(童子军). Receiving an award n such a day was a great hnr fr any scut, and all desired t be the scut selected t give the summary f the year’s activities fr the assciatin.
I was nt the ne selected t give the summary and fr that, I was grateful. I culd hardly stand in frnt f a large crwd t make a speech, but Sean culd. He was selected t d the hnr because he was the President f the By Scuts. My jb was much simpler. Being the Vice-President, I was very much behind the scenes, cntent t ensure that everything was in smth running rder.
It was an hur t g befre the ceremny began, and I had put the finishing tuches t the stage. Walking dwn the stage, I saw my teammates in a state f panic(恐慌).When they saw me, they ran t me t tell me that Sean met with a traffic accident and wuld nt make it t the award ceremny. Smene else had t give the summary. All f them lked hpefully at me, and I culd feel my knees beginning t cllapse.
All their arguments against my unwillingness were reasnable. I had a cpy f the speech as well as the benefit f having seen Sean rehearse(排练)it. I was the Vice-President and therefre shuld take his place. Finally, I was firmly tld nt t turn it dwn any lnger and they said that they were cnvinced that I wuld d the right thing. I sank dwn nt the flr, ttally shcked by the situatin.
I knew I was nt a cnfident speaker, and the thught f presenting a summary in frnt f s many distinguished guests hrrified me. T think that the fame f the scuts wuld take a beating because f me! The burden f respnsibility trubled me greatly.
But there was really n way ut f the situatin. In the end, I quickly rehearsed the speech and gt ready t g n stage fr the presentatin. I lked calm, but inside I was a trembling. Althugh they kept encuraging me, I still felt very wrried that my pr perfrmance wuld cst us the pprtunity t win an award. Sn after, I was called t d the presentatin. Having butterflies in my stmach, I walked nt the stage.
