The letter frm the headmaster culdn’t have been clearer: The bus will pick up yur new kindergartner at the fixed bus stp. Parents are nt t ride with children n the bus, and in n way are parents t cme t the schl, whether t drp ff their children r t take pictures. Parking space is nt enugh, even fr teachers, staff, and buses, and additinal cars are stpped frm parking at the beginning r end f the schl day.
That was all understandable but they didn’t knw my five-year-ld twins. Shy and sensitive, they hid whenever the drbell rang. My apprehensin n that first day f schl was that my girls wuld hide under a bus seat, r smehw get lst r stlen. The first day f schl wuldn’t be easy fr them and me.
The day finally came. The bus was late, and I watched Mrgan and Chle get n, turn and wave n the tp step. Okay, then I ran crazily. But I ran befre the bus, nt after the bus. Can’t a wman g fr a run?
The bus finally vertk me a few hundred yards befre the schl building. Out f breath, I secretly mved t the frnt gate, hiding safely behind a large sprts car. I had a bird’s-eye view f every child that climbed dwn the bus steps and walked int the schl. I willed my breath t quiet dwn and I fcused hard n just being still because getting caught wuld be beynd awkwardness. Sweat rlled dwn my frehead and mixed with the sunblck (防晒霜) I had used hurs befre, hurting my eyes and making me teary.
A few minutes went by. Tw mre buses emptied and left, and then there they were! Chle smiled shyly as the headmaster gave her a big smile and “Welcme!” Mrgan stayed tightly behind, but she was smiling and hlding her sister’s hand. I said it was the sweat and the sunblck that made me teary. I was lying abut that part.

The suthwestern United States has experienced drught fr mre than 20 years. Arizna has increasingly pumped (抽吸) water frm undergrund, but that meets less than half f what the state needs. Meanwhile, tens f thusands f new residents arrive every year, and mre cmmunities are built. One reprt shws that a large area near Phenix desn’t have enugh grundwater fr all the hmes that develpers want t build there. That means 800,000 peple.
Sme experts say the slutin is t imprt water frm utside the state. One idea is t build a $5.5 billin desalinatin (脱盐) plant n Mexic’s Sea f Crtez. The plant wuld remve salt frm the water and pump that water t Arizna thrugh a 200-mile pipeline. Supprters say this culd prvide a water supply fr decades.
Envirnmentalists see a different future. Sme f the salt taken ut f the Sea f Crtez might end up back in the cean, harming wildlife. The pipeline wuld damage land where peple and animals live. And the desalinatin prcess uses lts f energy. This wuld create greenhuse gases, the very gases that are causing the cnditins that have led t Arizna’s water prblems.
Margaret Wilder is a prfessr at the University f Arizna, in Tucsn. She warns that big prjects like this ne culd be used t shw much mre unsustainable develpment in the desert in the future. Mrever, desalinating water wuld likely be a massive expenditure fr Ariznans. Cities pay abut $50 t $150 fr 326,000 gallns. That’s enugh fr a family f three in Phenix fr a year. Desalinated water culd charge 20 times as much.
Envirnmentalists say the gvernment shuld fcus n cutting the demand fr water rather than increasing the supply. That wuld mean taking water-saving measures and limiting hw many hmes are built. Thusands f husehlds in Tucsn, Arizna, are cllecting rainwater and using it fr cking, drinking, and in their gardens. Gvernment leaders have taken ntice. Tucsn als helps residents pay fr equipment that cllects rainwater fr hme use.
8.What is the prblem faced by the suthwestern United States?
A.A ppulatin increase.B.A serius heatwave.
C.A waste f resurces.D.A water shrtage.
9.What d envirnmentalists prbably think f the desalinatin prject?
A.It prvides a lng-term slutin t drught.
B.It wuld harm the planet frm varius aspects.
C.It fails t take peple’s basic needs int accunt.
D.It draws peple’s attentin t envirnmental destructin.
10.What des the underlined part “a massive expenditure” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Affrdable.B.Cstly.C.Unsafe.D.Beneficial.
11.What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A.Peple are unsatisfied with the gvernment’s water measures.
B.Cllecting rainwater is the key t meeting water demands.
C.Peple are explring water resurces with fficial supprt.
D.Public cncern abut water safety has increased.

Researchers have develped a grundbreaking methd f string and handling valuable bilgical materials that remves the limitatins f refrigerated strage. The nvel methd has ptential applicatins in healthcare and scientific research.
Bilgical materials that cme frm human cells, like enzymes, prteins, and antibdies, are crucial t develping new medicines and diagnstic tests. And they’re fragile. Extremely temperature-sensitive, they require a cnstant temperature during strage, handling, and transprtatin. If nt stred r handled crrectly, these materials will be inactive, which can be cstly.
Mst bilgical materials are stred as liquids r freeze-dried pwders and kept at lw temperatures fr the duratin f their shelf life. This is achieved thrugh a cmplex integrated system f refrigeratrs and freezers knwn as the cld chain. This requires a significant investment in equipment and infrastructure, making it expensive t maintain, and makes the cld chain prne t shipping delays, pwer utages, equipment failure and human errr.
Inspired frm the hme medicine cabinet (储藏柜), where medicatins are stred in the frm f liquids, pwder-filled capsules, and tablets, researchers at Califrnia Plytechnic State University have develped a new strage platfrm based n the humble tablet that wuld enable bilgical materials t be cmpressed (压缩) int a slid state.
Tablets prvide advantages t the strage and handling f bimaterials that the cld chain desn’t. Fr ne thing, they can be stred at rm temperature. And, when they’re required, the tablet can be disslved in water. “Our innvatin makes string and using bimaterials as straightfrward as an effervescent tablet (泡腾片). Just drp it int water, mix, and it’s ready t g,” said the researcher f the study.
The researchers say their new tablet-based strage and handling methd is easy t use and desn’t require special training, making it suitable fr many applicatins. They als see ptential uses beynd just imprving the strage and handling f bilgical materials. By mdifying (修改) the tablet catings, this slid-state strage platfrm culd withstand extreme cnditins like heat, humidity, and chemicals. These changes might eventually allw injectable medicatins, such as insulin, t be taken rally.
12.What is a special requirement t stre bilgical materials?
A.Cnstant temperature maintenance.
B.Expsure t varius temperatures.
C.Peridically freezing and melting.
D.Direct cntact with air.
13.What is the researchers’ attitude t their strage methd?
A.Favrable.B.Skeptical.C.Disappinted.D.Grateful.
14.Which wrd can replace the underlined wrd “withstand” in the last paragraph?
A.Demnstrate.B.Stand.C.Adpt.D.Distinguish.
15.What is the text mainly abut?
A.Challenges f string bilgical materials.
B.The making prcess f effervescent tablets.
C.Healthcare applicatins f bilgical materials.
D.A new tablet strage methd f bilgical materials.

Hw lng des it take t becme an elite (精英) in yur field? 16 That’s what Jhn Hayes, a cgnitive psychlgy prfessr at Carnegie Melln University, wanted t knw.
Fr decades, Hayes has been investigating the rle f effrt, practice and knwledge in tp perfrmers. 17 The research fcused n peple like Mzart and Picass-t determine hw lng it tk them t becme wrld-class at their craft.
Let’s talk abut what Hayes has discvered abut wrld-class-perfrmers. And mre imprtantly, let’s discuss hw yu can use these insights t achieve yur gals and becme yur best.
18 He analyzed thusands f musical pieces prduced frm 1685 t 1900. The central questin that drve his wrk was, “Hw lng after ne becmes interested in music is it that ne becmes wrld-class?” Eventually, Hayes develped a list f 500 pieces f “masterwrks” in the field, which were created by a ttal f 76 cmpsers.
text, Hayes mapped ut the timeline f each cmpsers career. 19 What he discvered was that virtually every single “masterwrk” was written after the tenth year f the cmpser’s career. Nt a single persn prduced incredible wrk withut putting in a decade f practice first. Even a genius like Mzart had t wrk fr at least ten years befre he prduced smething that became ppular. 20
In fllw-up studies, Hayes fund similar patterns amng famus painters and ppular pets. These findings have been further cnfirmed by research frm prfessrs like K. Anders Ericssn, wh prduced research that revealed that yu needed t put in “10, 000 hurs” t becme an elite r expert in yur field.
A.It takes time t achieve yur gals.
B.And what d peple like ding in their spare time?
C.He has studied the mst talented creatrs in histry.
D.Hayes started his research by examining successful cmpsers
E.Prfessr Hayes began t refer t this perid as the “ten years f silence”.
F.And what d the successful peple d differently than the rest f us?
G.And then he calculated hw lng they had been wrking befre they created their ppular wrks.

I was ding hmewrk with my friend Ollie at his hme when he randmly started scribbling (乱画) a fish. But nt just any fish. This fish was riding a skatebard and blwing a bubble that said “I’d rather be skating!”I laughed and drew a sea star saying “Quit fling arund and get t wrk!”
Just then, Ollie’s grandma Abuela and her friend Mr. Gldberg came int the kitchen. Mr. Gldberg was in charge f the lcal animal shelter. Abuela pured their tea and inquired abut hw things were ging at the animal shelter. Mr. Gldberg sighed, shaking his head. He explained that nt enugh peple were adpting pets, resulting in t many animals withut hmes.
Overhearing the cnversatin, Ollie ffered t adpt sme excitedly. But Abuela said that ne nisy parrt was plenty fr this huse.
“Blue isn’t nisy,” defended Ollie. “He’s just musical.”
“I’d have a whle farm full f animals if I culd,” I said. “But my parents say tw cats and a hamster (仓鼠) are enugh.”
Mr. Gldberg said he kept trying t attract peple t adpt animals, but fund it hard t get peple’s attentin these days. Ollie drew a sad whale, and I wrte the wrds “Please adpt me” in the shape f a whale sput (喷水). Mr. Gldberg tk a lk at ur drawings and made favrable cmments n them, saying that these clever talking animals just might grab peple’s attentin. And he asked us if we were willing t design a pster fr his animal shelter, a prpsal we happily accepted. We decided t draw sme ideas n ur wn and meet up again the next afternn.
That night, when I was sitting in the living rm brainstrming ideas fr the pster, my little brther brught in ur hamster, Mr. Nibbles, t give him a little run-arund time. He made a hamster playgrund ut f cuch pillws and Mr. Nibbles began t run arund merrily.
Suddenly, an idea frmed in my mind.
