In my early teens.I was once given a film camera as a gift.On receiving it.I jumped on my bike,headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos,just for me:photos of trees and wildlife,I was out all day.On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty.Rushing home,I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store,desperate to see how it would come out.I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments,gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood,that simple,deep happiness gradually faded away.One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls,my eyes caught a box in the comer of the room.I suddenly felt a sense of sadness.The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner.I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down.It was a great joy that it still worked.I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went.Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys,to allow me time to myself.Even if the day is full and busy.I can seize some moments for myself to take photos,to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display,along with photos I've taken.To me,the room represents how I've found happiness:by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside,by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist,and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.

In the days before the Internet,critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens.But in the digital age,according to Anastasia Kozyreva.a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development,and her colleagues,an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out,we live in an attention ecokothyhy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention.They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information,so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements.Therefore,we are no longer customers but products,and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention.To protect ourselves from this.Kozyreva advocates learning the skill of critical ignoring,in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva,critical ignoring comprises three strategies.The first is to design our environments,which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around.Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes.Likewise,we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight.As with dieting,if one tries to rely on willpower not to click eye-catching"news",he'll surely fail,So,it's better to just keep them out of sight to begin with,The next is to evaluate the reliability of information,whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information.It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase“Don't feed the trolls.”Trolls are actors who intentionally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm,It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight,but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts.So,it's best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways,we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention,time,and minds.
28.What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2
A.It offers little information.
C.It saves time for Internet users.
B.It features depressing stories
D.It seeks profits from each click.
29.Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3 C,
A.To discuss the quality of information.
B.To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C.To show the importance of environments.
D.To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
30.What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text
A.Reveal their intention.
C.Correct their behaviour.
B.Turn a deaf ear to them.
D.Send hard facts to them.
31.What is the text mainly about 5
A.Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy.
B.Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age.
C.Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet.
D.Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users.
D
Could a new treatment developed by the US company Lilly mean"the beginning of the end of Alzheimer's Could we even cure it some day These are headlines and questions swirling(流传)around after news of a new drug,called donancmab,showed promising results in phase-3 trials.
The brain science behind Alzheimer's is complex,but CT and MRJ scans suggest that poisonous changes occur in the brain,including the abnormal build-up of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles.The damage starts in the parts of the brain essential for forming memories but then spreads throughout the organ,with brain tissue shrinking significantly.
Developing treatments for Alzheimer's has been a challenge,with almost 20 years passing with no new drugs.But in the last year,two new ones have emerged:donanemab and lecanemab.Neither are cures or magic bullets for the disease,but they do address key symptoms.They target the amyloid proteins that can accumulate in the brain and damage neurons,slowing down its progression.
While this news is exciting,there are major caveats.One is whether it will ever become available on the NHS.The cost is estimated to be about f20,000 per person per year of treatment.
Another is the serious side effects:in the study,brain swelling occurred in 24% of participants and brain bleeding occurred in 31.4%on the drug compared with 13.6%in the placebo(安慰剂)group.There were also three deaths during the trial.
Part of the problem for me,as an academic,in assessing the drug is that the full results of the trial haven't yet been shared publicly or published in a peer-review journal.We can not access the full data or examine the trial yet,and there is always a motivation for private companies to overstate the effectiveness of new drugs.Trial results need to be assessed by an in dependent body of experts.
While it is unlikely to change clinical practice until at least 2025,the news of donanemab is again an indication that science is continuing to make progress when it comes to treating the major causes of illness and death,even one related to the highly complex inner workings of the brain,So,there are caveats and the need for caution,but these new drugs are indeed the grounds for that rare thing these days:hope.
32.What can we learn about Alzheimer's from the passage
A.There exists a new drug to cure it completely.
B.Most people will develop Alzheimer's when they are old.
C.It is caused by the accumulation of some proteins in the brain.
D.It results from the loss of memories as people get older.
33.What does the underlined word“caveats”mean in paragraph 4
A.Warnings.
B.Discussions.
C.Debates.
D.Weaknesses.
34.What is the problem of the new drug according to the author as an academic
A.It has serious side effects such as brain bleeding and deaths.
B.The effectiveness may be blown up without fair assessment.
C.The cost of the new drug is out of reach for ordinary people.
D.There is no possibility for new drugs to be admitted into the NHS.
35.What is the author's attitude towards the new drug
A.Approving.
B.Doubtful.
C.Unclear.
D.Indifferent.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
My friend James did some first-aid training last week to learn the fundamentals of the CPR.And he asked if I'd ever done the same.
“Yes.”I said."…and no."
Because,yes,I've attended several resuscitation(复苏)sessions over the years. 36 In fact,despite being shown all the key information at various points in my career,I don't think I can remember any of it now.
What's the problem Every time I've had this type of training,it's been a perfectly good opportunity to learn:an important topic,taught well,in a focused environment,with plenty to see,hear and do.I've always taken it seriously,too,and been focused.And I've always come away with a wealth of information. 37
Here's what I should have done—and what you can do now—to make sure any training doesn't go to waste.
· 38 You might be surprised to find that you've got some foundations of knowledge to build on.Pre-testing sparks your curiosity and puts you in a frame of mind to remember.
·Challenge your recall later. 39 If it's hard to remember,but just about possible with effort,then that's perfect.You need that little bit of struggle to start embedding (把嵌入)information in your brain.
·Keep coming back.Put a note in your diary to test yourself again in a week,then ten days after that,then a month on—leaving longer gaps between checks. 40
Talking to James has inspired me to book myself onto yet another CPR course.But this time I'm determined to do it right.Remember that it's the next day when the real training begins.
A.Test yourself before you start.
B.Wait a day,then see how much you still know.
C.Stay curious about what you are eager to know.
D.All the basic information has stuck in your mind.
E.But no,I don't exactly feel "trained"to save lives.
F.Yet virtually nothing has ever made it to my long-term memory.
G.Use the questions you wrote on the day to keep challenging yourself.

“You know the school will have a swimming competition next month.There will be all kinds of races.Will you participate "Eddie asked.

Eddie smiled and then said,“Yes.Indeed,you are,in breaststroke(蛙泳),in backstroke and in butterfly,but not in freestyle,So join the freestyle race!200-meter freestyle is the game suitable for you.”
Sandro was speechless at that moment.He had never known someone in the school was observing him and caring for him.
"I don't think I can win anything."Sandro was still a little puzzled.
“But you may get more recognition and consequently you can make some friends.That is more important than prizes.”Eddie responded immediately.
Having hesitated for a while,Sandro agreed to have a try.

Dear Miss Brown,
I am writing to tell you something about the recording pen I bought on your website last week.There seems to be something wrong with it.Firstly,the voice is not so clear as you claimed.Besides,it is not easy to operate,which caused much trouble.Worse still,I often breaks down.A recording pen at such a price shouldn't have so many problems.
I wonder whether you can do something about it for its poor quality and much inconvenience it has caused.I would appreciate it if I can get my money back and will send it back to you as soon as you return the money.If a full refund is impossible,it wish you could have it repaired or changed.
l am looking forward to your early reply.Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua

Every afternoon for the next month,Sandro trained really hard,Starting position,starting dive,turning,pushing off,touching the timing pad,all details,he practiced them over and over.Whenever he was exhausted,Eddie's words echoed in his mind and supplied extra energy to him.“May be I can't be the champion of the game,but I can be the champion for myself.”He spoke in a low mumble to himself after he finished the last training.Finally,the day of competition arrived.With the sound of the starting gun piercing through the air,the race began as expected.
Sandro dived into the pool confidently like other competitors.He swam as freely as a fish.150 meters covered,he was left behind by 2 competitors.In the last 50 meters,Sandro swam with all his strength,his arms pushing forward fast and his legs hitting the water hard.Finally,the championship was still out of his reach,When the result was announced that Sandro won third大place,however,other players congratulated him,the audience in the stadium bursting into thunderous applause.As teacher Eddie said,he won the recognition and respect from others,with his effort.
