I was a graduate student in Manhattan having breakfast n my rftp n Sept. 11, 2001, when I witnessed planes hit the Twin Twers. Fr mnths afterwards, I shk with anxiety every mrning. Unwilling t medicate, I tried everything else. Mindfulness meditatin (冥想) caused panic attacks. Ht yga built muscle but did nthing fr my anxiety. I went t talks by Buddhist mnks and meditatin teachers hping t attain inner peace, but in vain. Finally, I attended a SKY Breath Meditatin class, which invlves a 20-minute breathing regimen (养生之道) in different pstures and rhythms. Thugh I went in skeptical, I came ut calm. Tw decades later, I never missed a day f my breathing practice, nt even when I gave birth.
I've als devted part f my research career t studying the benefits f breathing fr mental health and well-being. Seven years after 9/11, I was wrking with veterans returning frm war with pst-traumatic stress disrder (PTSD). Traditinal treatments had failed many f them, s my clleagues and I ran a randmized cntrlled trial t test the effects f SKY breathing. Cmpared with the cntrl grup, veterans practicing SKY every day fr ne week saw their anxiety drp t levels typical f the general ppulatin. Even thugh mst did nt cntinue t practice, they maintained the benefits a year later.
Emtins influence yur breathing patterns, and changing yur breathing can change yur emtins. Fr example, anxiety and anger crrespnd t an irregular, shrt, fast breath. Adpting the slwer and mre regular breathing pattern that crrespnds t a calm feeling signals relaxatin by activating the vagus nerve (交感神经)，slwing heart rate, easing bld pressure, and settling yu dwn. A simple exercise yu can try is t clse yur eyes and breathe ut fr twice as lng as yu breathe in. D this fr five minutes in the mrning, befre a stressful meeting r as yu transit frm wrk t hme.
24. Why did the authr attend the SKY Breath Meditatin class?
A. T build up muscles. B. T relieve inner anxiety.
C. T learn mre abut meditatin. D. T quest fr religius belief.
25. Hw did the authr test the effects f SKY breathing?
A. She wrked with healthy veterans returning frm war.
B. She chse victims suffering PTSD in the 9/11 incident.
C. She cperated with researchers frm mindfulness meditatin classes.
D. She divided the veterans int tw grups and cmpared results.
26. What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. Breathing interacts with emtins.
B. It is harmful t activate the vagus nerve.
C. Breathing ut as lng as yu breathe in is a simple way t fllw.
D. Breathing regimen shuld be carried ut fr five minutes every mrning.
27. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. PTSD: mre awareness needed B. SKY: better well-being attained
C. Meditatin: an effective treatment D. Breath: detailed ways t cnduct

A recent study, led by Prfessr Andrew Barrn, Dr. HaDi MaBuDi, and Prfessr James Marshall, illustrates hw evlutin has fine-tuned hney bees t make quick judgments while minimizing danger.
“Animal lives are full f decisins，” says Prfessr Barrn. “A hney bee has a brain smaller than a sesame (芝麻) seed. And yet it can make decisins faster and mre accurately than’ we can. A rbt prgrammed t d a bee’s jb wuld need the backup f a supercmputer.”
Bees need t wrk quickly and efficiently. They need t make decisins. Which flwer will have a sweet liquid? While they’re flying, they face threats frm the air. While landing, they’re vulnerable t ptential hunter, sme f which pretend t lk like flwers.
Researchers trained 20 bees t assciate each f the five different clred “flwer disks” with their visit histry f reward and punishment. Blue flwers always had sugar juice. Green flwers always had a type f liquid with a bitter taste fr bees. Other clrs smetimes had glucse (葡萄糖). “Then we intrduced each bee t a ‘garden’ with artificial ‘flwers’. We filmed each bee and timed their decisin-making prcess,” says Dr. MaBuDi. “If the bees were cnfident that a flwer wuld have fd, they quickly decided t land n it, taking an average f 0.6 secnds. If they were cnfident that a flwer wuldn’t have fd, they made a decisin just as quickly. If unsure, they tk n average 1.4 secnds, and the time reflected the prbability that a flwer had fd.”
The team then built a cmputer mdel mirrring the bees’ decisin-making prcess. They fund the structure f the mdel lked very similar t the physical layut f a bee brain. “AI researchers can learn much frm bees and ther ‘simple’ animals. Millins f years f evlutin has led t incredibly efficient brains with very lw pwer requirements,” says Prfessr Marshall wh c-funded a cmpany that uses insect brain patterns t enable machines t mve autnmusly, like nature.
28. Why des Prfessr Andrew Barrn mentin “a supercmputer”?
A. T illustrate hw a hney bee’s brain resemble each ther.
B. T explain hw animals arrive at infrmed decisins fast.
C. T demnstrate hw a rbt culd finish a hney bee’s jb.
D. T emphasize hw hney bees make decisins remarkably.
29. Which f the fllwing can best replace “vulnerable t” underlined in paragraph 3?
A. Easily harmed by. B. Highly sensitive t.
C. Deeply critical t. D. Clsely fllwed by.
30. What influenced the speed f trained bees in making decisins?
A. Their judgments abut reward and punishment.
B. Their preference fr the clrs f flwer disks.
C. Their cnfirmatin（确认）f fd’s presence and absence.
D. Their ability t tell real flwers frm artificial nes.
31. What message des Prfessr James Marshall want t give us?
A. Bilgy can inspire future AI.
B. The pwer f bee brains is underestimated.
C. Autnmus machines are changing nature.
D. AI shuld be far mre efficient.

Yu may nt be a regular at exciting parties r a climber f dizzying peaks, but yu have yur health, a place t live, and real friends wh appreciate yur presence in their lives. Last f all, learn t shake things ff. We are all bmbarded daily with images f ther peple’s perfectin, but really, what des it matter? They are prbably n mre real than the mst ridiculus reality TV shws.

B. T indicate hw cmplicated scial media has turned t.
C. T figure ut hw ppular and useful scial media has been.
D. T pint ut hw educatinal value reality TV shws reflect.
