The Well that Changed the Wrld
As a six-year-ld Canadian schlby, Ryan had truble believing the wrds spken by his teacher that many peple in develping African cuntries culdn’t get enugh clean water. He lked acrss the classrm at the drinking funtain. It was very clse—nly ten steps away. S, Ryan asked himself, “Why d sme African children have t walk ten kilmeters t get water every day? And why is the water s dirty that it makes them sick?” Yung Ryan thught, “Life is easy fr me, but hard fr thse peple. Why dn’t I help?”
At first, his plan was t earn mney t build a single well smewhere in Africa. He cleaned windws and did gardening fr his family and neighbrs. He sn reached his first target (目标) f $70, but when he gave the mney t a charity, he was tld that it actually cst $2,000 t build a well.
Tw thusand dllars was a lt f mney, but Ryan didn’t give up. He started t ask fr help frm his classmates and neighbrs and persuaded them t dnate mney. At the same time, a friend f Ryan’s mther helped make his stry g public. After several mnths, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary schl in Uganda. The children at the schl n lnger needed t walk fr hurs t get water. They were grateful t him and invited him t visit.
In Uganda, Ryan at last saw the finished well with his wn eyes. But that was nt all. He als saw hundreds f delighted students wh had turned ut t welcme him. They sang and danced happily. Sme even ffered him fd and gifts. At first Ryan was nervus, but sn great warmth filled him. He really had made a difference fr these children. He brke int a jyful smile.
Later, Ryan’s experience led him t set up a fundatin (基金会) t encurage mre peple t help. Many inspired peple gave him their supprt. Ryan’s fundatin cntinues t attract supprt frm mre and mre peple, s the wrk f building mre wells can g n. Tday, ver 800,000 peple in 16 cuntries acrss Africa have benefited frm the life-changing gift f clean, safe water.

Chinese scientists recently achieved precise ttal synthesis (合成) f sugar frm carbn dixide in the labratry, marking a crucial step in artificial sugar synthesis.
The synthesis, which tk mre than tw years t realize, was achieved by teams frm the Chinese Academy f Sciences’ Tianjin Institute f Industrial Bitechnlgy and the academy’s Dalian Institute f Chemical Physics. Their research was published last week in a paper in Chinese Science Bulletin, a multidisciplinary academic jurnal.
Sugar is a majr surce f energy fr the human bdy and a key raw material fr industrial prductin, and it is mainly btained by extracting it frm crps such as sugar cane. Hwever, the traditinal methd f extractin is limited by the energy cnversin efficiency f plant phtsynthesis. Mrever, the prcess f extracting sugar has been affected by uncertain raw material supplies due t land degradatin and shrtages, ecsystem degradatin and extreme weather and natural disasters caused by glbal warming.
As a result, artificial sugar synthesis has been cntinually studied by the scientific cmmunity in recent years, and scientists arund the wrld have cntributed t the effrt. In their latest research, the Chinese scientists adjusted high-cncentratin carbn dixide and ther raw materials in the reactin slutin. With the help f chemical catalysts and enzyme (酶) catalysts, they btained fur kinds f sugars: glucse, allulse, tagatse and mannse.
The experiment lasted abut 17 hurs, much shrter than the time required fr traditinal methds f sugar extractin, accrding t Yang Jiangang, lead authr f the paper and assciate researcher at the Tianjin institute.
The efficiency f sugar synthesis in this study was 0.67 grams per liter per hur, which was mre than 10 times higher than the previus results achieved by scientists wrldwide. Yang said that the carbn dixide t sugar cnversin rate f glucse reached 59.8 nanmles f carbn per milligram f catalyst per minute. This is the highest level f artificial sugar prductin knwn dmestically and internatinally.
The study als achieved precise cntrl f artificial sugar synthesis. “By cntrlling the varied catalytic effects f different enzymes, theretically almst any type f sugar can be synthesized,” Yang said. Regarding the study, Manfred Reetz, a member f the German Natinal Academy f Sciences Lepldina, said it is a particularly challenging task t cnvert carbn dixide int sugars.
The achievement by Chinese scientists has prvided a flexible, multifunctinal and efficient sugar synthesis rute, which pens a dr fr green chemistry, Reetz said. Green chemistry, similar t sustainable chemistry, is a rapidly develping field that fcuses n hw t fully utilize raw materials and energy in the prcess f prducing the intended prduct while minimizing r eliminating the use and generatin f harmful substances.
Carbn dixide t sugar cnversin is seen as an example f green chemistry since it was cnducted under nrmal temperature and pressure cnditins and did nt yield any harmful substances.
28. Why d scientists keep studying artificial sugar synthesis?
A. Because sugar is an essential energy surce fr industrial prductin.
B. Because the traditinal extractin apprach is nt envirnmentally friendly.
C. Because raw material supply is unreliable in the prcess f traditinal sugar extractin.
D. Because the traditinal extractin apprach is less prductive than plant phtsynthesis.
29. Hw is the Chinese study significant?
A. It synthesized almst all types f sugar in the labratry.
B. It cntrlled varied catalytic effects f different enzymes.
C. It cnverted high-cncentratin carbn dixide int sugar.
D. It lasted 17 hurs, shrter than previus traditinal methds.
30. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Green chemistry helped use up all raw materials t generate mre prducts.
B Carbn dixide t sugar cnversin will be used in industrial prductin sn.
C. Green chemistry is a new field where Chinese scientists will put mre effrts n.
D. Carbn dixide t sugar cnversin will take up all sugar prductin due t its efficiency.

Teens wh have gd, supprtive relatinships with their teachers enjy better health as adults, accrding t a research.
“This research suggests that imprving students’ relatinships with teachers culd have imprtant, psitive and lng-lasting effects beynd just academic success,” said Jinh Kim, the authr f the study. “It culd als bring abut imprtant health benefits in the lng run.”
Previus research has suggested that teens’ scial relatinships might be linked t health utcmes in adulthd—perhaps because pr relatinships can lead t chrnic stress which can raise a persn’s risk f health prblems ver the lifespan, accrding t Kim. Hwever, it is nt clear whether the link between teen relatinships and lifetime health is certainly cause and effect—it culd be that ther factrs, such as different family backgrunds, might cntribute t bth relatinship prblems in adlescence and pr health in adulthd. Als, mst research has fcused n teens relatinships with their peers, rather than n their relatinships with teachers.
T explre thse questins further, Kim analyzed data n nearly 20,000 participants frm the Add Health study, a natinal study that fllwed participants fr 13 years, frm seventh grade int early adulthd. The participants included mre than 3, 400 pairs f brthers and sisters. As teens, participants answered questins, like “Hw ften have yu had truble getting alng with ther students?” “Hw much d yu agree that friends care abut yu?” “Hw ften have yu had truble getting alng with yur teachers?” and “Hw much d yu agree that teachers care abut yu?” As adults, participants were asked abut their physical and mental health. Researchers als tk measures f physical health, such as bld pressure and BMI (体质指数).
Kim fund that, as expected, participants wh had reprted better relatinships with bth their peers and teachers in middle schl and high schl als reprted better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. Hwever, when he cntrlled fr family backgrund by lking at pairs f brthers and sisters, nly the link between gd teacher relatinships and adult health remained significant.
The results suggest that teacher relatinships are even mre imprtant than previusly realized and that schls shuld invest in training teachers n hw t build warm and supprtive relatinships with their students, accrding t Kim.
31. Accrding t paragraph 3, we can knw that ________.
A. teen relatinships with teachers were nt studied befre.
B. family backgrund is the main factr in imprving mental health.
C teen relatinship is nt the nly factr that affects the lifetime health.
D. relatinship prblems in adlescence can cause pr health in adulthd.
32. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. Hw the research was dneB. What questins were explred
C. Hw physical health was measuredD. What kind f participants were studied
33. Accrding t Kim’s findings, we can infer that ________.
A. Gd adult health depends n teens’ gd teachers.
B. Mre attentin shuld be paid t the students relatinships with teachers.
C. The imprtance f student-teacher relatinships was fully realized befre.
D. Participants reprted better relatinships with their teachers and better health as adults.
34. Where des this text prbably cme frm?
A. A. family surveyB. A medical reprt

Last year, I baked biscuits fr cmplete strangers t say “thank yu”. I’d had t call 999 because I fund my husband uncnscius n the flr. Within minutes, a plice car arrived and sn my husband received medical care in hspital.
A week later, when I drpped ff still-warm biscuits and presented a thank-yu nte at the plice statin, the plicemen thanked me fr delivering gifts.
I drve away feeling light and happy. Later, I realized that my natural high might have been mre than it seemed.Research has shwn that sharing gratitude has psitive effects n health. Peple wh express gratitude will increase their happiness levels, lwer their bld pressure and get better sleep.
What abut peple wh receive gratitude?Research has cnfirmed that when peple receive thanks, they experience psitive emtins.“Thse are happy surprises,”says J-Ann Tsang, a prfessr f psychlgy. When smene is thanked,he’s mre likely t return the favr r pass kindness n, and his chances f being helpful again dubles, prbably because he enjys feeling scially valued.
The give-and-take f gratitude als deepens relatinships. Studies shw that when yur lved nes regularly express gratitude,making yu feel appreciated,yu’re mre likely t return appreciative feelings, which leads t mre satisfactry in yur relatinships.
Nwadays,hwever,many peple dn’t express gratitude. Our mdern lifestyle may be t blame. With cmmercial and scial media, everything is speeding the yunger generatin t feel they’re the center f the wrld. If it’s all abut them, why thank thers?
Why nt thank thers? Just take a lk at hw many psitive effects can saying “thank yu”have n persnal health—and the well-being f thers.

The Well that Changed the Wrld
As a six-year-ld Canadian schlby, Ryan had truble believing the wrds spken by his teacher that many peple in develping African cuntries culdn’t get enugh clean water. He lked acrss the classrm at the drinking funtain. It was very clse—nly ten steps away. S, Ryan asked himself, “Why d sme African children have t walk ten kilmeters t get water every day? And why is the water s dirty that it makes them sick?” Yung Ryan thught, “Life is easy fr me, but hard fr thse peple. Why dn’t I help?”
At first, his plan was t earn mney t build a single well smewhere in Africa. He cleaned windws and did gardening fr his family and neighbrs. He sn reached his first target (目标) f $70, but when he gave the mney t a charity, he was tld that it actually cst $2,000 t build a well.
Tw thusand dllars was a lt f mney, but Ryan didn’t give up. He started t ask fr help frm his classmates and neighbrs and persuaded them t dnate mney. At the same time, a friend f Ryan’s mther helped make his stry g public. After several mnths, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary schl in Uganda. The children at the schl n lnger needed t walk fr hurs t get water. They were grateful t him and invited him t visit.
In Uganda, Ryan at last saw the finished well with his wn eyes. But that was nt all. He als saw hundreds f delighted students wh had turned ut t welcme him. They sang and danced happily. Sme even ffered him fd and gifts. At first Ryan was nervus, but sn great warmth filled him. He really had made a difference fr these children. He brke int a jyful smile.
Later, Ryan’s experience led him t set up a fundatin (基金会) t encurage mre peple t help. Many inspired peple gave him their supprt. Ryan’s fundatin cntinues t attract supprt frm mre and mre peple, s the wrk f building mre wells can g n. Tday, ver 800,000 peple in 16 cuntries acrss Africa have benefited frm the life-changing gift f clean, safe water.
25. The fllwing statements make Ryan decide t help students in develping African cuntries, EXCEPT_________.

A. By asking his teacher and friends’ parents fr help.
B. By persuading peple arund him t dnate mney.
C. By setting up a public fundatin t attract supprt.
D. By ding sme wrk fr his family and neighbrs.

Chinese scientists recently achieved precise ttal synthesis (合成) f sugar frm carbn dixide in the labratry, marking a crucial step in artificial sugar synthesis.
The synthesis, which tk mre than tw years t realize, was achieved by teams frm the Chinese Academy f Sciences’ Tianjin Institute f Industrial Bitechnlgy and the academy’s Dalian Institute f Chemical Physics. Their research was published last week in a paper in Chinese Science Bulletin, a multidisciplinary academic jurnal.
Sugar is a majr surce f energy fr the human bdy and a key raw material fr industrial prductin, and it is mainly btained by extracting it frm crps such as sugar cane. Hwever, the traditinal methd f extractin is limited by the energy cnversin efficiency f plant phtsynthesis. Mrever, the prcess f extracting sugar has been affected by uncertain raw material supplies due t land degradatin and shrtages, ecsystem degradatin and extreme weather and natural disasters caused by glbal warming.
As a result, artificial sugar synthesis has been cntinually studied by the scientific cmmunity in recent years, and scientists arund the wrld have cntributed t the effrt. In their latest research, the Chinese scientists adjusted high-cncentratin carbn dixide and ther raw materials in the reactin slutin. With the help f chemical catalysts and enzyme (酶) catalysts, they btained fur kinds f sugars: glucse, allulse, tagatse and mannse.
The experiment lasted abut 17 hurs, much shrter than the time required fr traditinal methds f sugar extractin, accrding t Yang Jiangang, lead authr f the paper and assciate researcher at the Tianjin institute.
The efficiency f sugar synthesis in this study was 0.67 grams per liter per hur, which was mre than 10 times higher than the previus results achieved by scientists wrldwide. Yang said that the carbn dixide t sugar cnversin rate f glucse reached 59.8 nanmles f carbn per milligram f catalyst per minute. This is the highest level f artificial sugar prductin knwn dmestically and internatinally.
The study als achieved precise cntrl f artificial sugar synthesis. “By cntrlling the varied catalytic effects f different enzymes, theretically almst any type f sugar can be synthesized,” Yang said. Regarding the study, Manfred Reetz, a member f the German Natinal Academy f Sciences Lepldina, said it is a particularly challenging task t cnvert carbn dixide int sugars.
The achievement by Chinese scientists has prvided a flexible, multifunctinal and efficient sugar synthesis rute, which pens a dr fr green chemistry, Reetz said. Green chemistry, similar t sustainable chemistry, is a rapidly develping field that fcuses n hw t fully utilize raw materials and energy in the prcess f prducing the intended prduct while minimizing r eliminating the use and generatin f harmful substances.
Carbn dixide t sugar cnversin is seen as an example f green chemistry since it was cnducted under nrmal temperature and pressure cnditins and did nt yield any harmful substances.
28. Why d scientists keep studying artificial sugar synthesis?
A. Because sugar is an essential energy surce fr industrial prductin.
B. Because the traditinal extractin apprach is nt envirnmentally friendly.
C. Because raw material supply is unreliable in the prcess f traditinal sugar extractin.
D. Because the traditinal extractin apprach is less prductive than plant phtsynthesis.
29. Hw is the Chinese study significant?
A. It synthesized almst all types f sugar in the labratry.
B. It cntrlled varied catalytic effects f different enzymes.
C. It cnverted high-cncentratin carbn dixide int sugar.
D. It lasted 17 hurs, shrter than previus traditinal methds.
30. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Green chemistry helped use up all raw materials t generate mre prducts.
B Carbn dixide t sugar cnversin will be used in industrial prductin sn.
C. Green chemistry is a new field where Chinese scientists will put mre effrts n.
D. Carbn dixide t sugar cnversin will take up all sugar prductin due t its efficiency.

Teens wh have gd, supprtive relatinships with their teachers enjy better health as adults, accrding t a research.
“This research suggests that imprving students’ relatinships with teachers culd have imprtant, psitive and lng-lasting effects beynd just academic success,” said Jinh Kim, the authr f the study. “It culd als bring abut imprtant health benefits in the lng run.”
Previus research has suggested that teens’ scial relatinships might be linked t health utcmes in adulthd—perhaps because pr relatinships can lead t chrnic stress which can raise a persn’s risk f health prblems ver the lifespan, accrding t Kim. Hwever, it is nt clear whether the link between teen relatinships and lifetime health is certainly cause and effect—it culd be that ther factrs, such as different family backgrunds, might cntribute t bth relatinship prblems in adlescence and pr health in adulthd. Als, mst research has fcused n teens relatinships with their peers, rather than n their relatinships with teachers.
T explre thse questins further, Kim analyzed data n nearly 20,000 participants frm the Add Health study, a natinal study that fllwed participants fr 13 years, frm seventh grade int early adulthd. The participants included mre than 3, 400 pairs f brthers and sisters. As teens, participants answered questins, like “Hw ften have yu had truble getting alng with ther students?” “Hw much d yu agree that friends care abut yu?” “Hw ften have yu had truble getting alng with yur teachers?” and “Hw much d yu agree that teachers care abut yu?” As adults, participants were asked abut their physical and mental health. Researchers als tk measures f physical health, such as bld pressure and BMI (体质指数).
Kim fund that, as expected, participants wh had reprted better relatinships with bth their peers and teachers in middle schl and high schl als reprted better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. Hwever, when he cntrlled fr family backgrund by lking at pairs f brthers and sisters, nly the link between gd teacher relatinships and adult health remained significant.
The results suggest that teacher relatinships are even mre imprtant than previusly realized and that schls shuld invest in training teachers n hw t build warm and supprtive relatinships with their students, accrding t Kim.
31. Accrding t paragraph 3, we can knw that ________.
A. teen relatinships with teachers were nt studied befre.
B. family backgrund is the main factr in imprving mental health.
C teen relatinship is nt the nly factr that affects the lifetime health.
D. relatinship prblems in adlescence can cause pr health in adulthd.
32. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. Hw the research was dneB. What questins were explred
C. Hw physical health was measuredD. What kind f participants were studied
33. Accrding t Kim’s findings, we can infer that ________.
A. Gd adult health depends n teens’ gd teachers.
B. Mre attentin shuld be paid t the students relatinships with teachers.
C. The imprtance f student-teacher relatinships was fully realized befre.
D. Participants reprted better relatinships with their teachers and better health as adults.

Last year, I baked biscuits fr cmplete strangers t say “thank yu”. I’d had t call 999 because I fund my husband uncnscius n the flr. Within minutes, a plice car arrived and sn my husband received medical care in hspital.
A week later, when I drpped ff still-warm biscuits and presented a thank-yu nte at the plice statin, the plicemen thanked me fr delivering gifts.
I drve away feeling light and happy. Later, I realized that my natural high might have been mre than it seemed.Research has shwn that sharing gratitude has psitive effects n health. Peple wh express gratitude will increase their happiness levels, lwer their bld pressure and get better sleep.
What abut peple wh receive gratitude?Research has cnfirmed that when peple receive thanks, they experience psitive emtins.“Thse are happy surprises,”says J-Ann Tsang, a prfessr f psychlgy. When smene is thanked,he’s mre likely t return the favr r pass kindness n, and his chances f being helpful again dubles, prbably because he enjys feeling scially valued.
The give-and-take f gratitude als deepens relatinships. Studies shw that when yur lved nes regularly express gratitude,making yu feel appreciated,yu’re mre likely t return appreciative feelings, which leads t mre satisfactry in yur relatinships.
Nwadays,hwever,many peple dn’t express gratitude. Our mdern lifestyle may be t blame. With cmmercial and scial media, everything is speeding the yunger generatin t feel they’re the center f the wrld. If it’s all abut them, why thank thers?
Why nt thank thers? Just take a lk at hw many psitive effects can saying “thank yu”have n persnal health—and the well-being f thers.
If yu aren’t particularly grateful, I strngly suggest yu learn t be.Peple wh are instructed t keep gratitude jurnals,in which they write dwn psitive things that happen t them,cultivate gratitude ver time.
