A
Four Independent Bookstores We Love
Daunt Books
Founded in 1990 by British businessman James Daunt, Daunt Books has handful of locations across London, all worth a visit, but the Marylebone branch---in a former Edwardian bookshop---is particularly appealing. It is set in a long, light-filled three-story space with oak balconies（橡木阳台）and a coloured glass window. So whether you’re after a guidebook, nonfiction, or something escapist, you really lose yourself in your chosen destination.
Bookmark
Opened in 1972, Bookmark has been Charlottetown’s independent bookstore of note for more than five decades. The locally owned spot is a favorite not only for its book selection, of course, but also for its strong sense of community---everyone who shops here is a friend. If you’re not sure what you read next, check the bookseller introductions on the website, find the person who shares your interests, and go with their personalized suggestions.
Boekhandel Dominicanen
It is housed in a 13th-century church in Maastricht, near the southeastern border with Belgium. Opened in 2014, the store still maintains the coloured glass windows, stone-vaulted ceilings, and fine wall paintings. Boekhandel Dominicanen’s collection includes thousands of new and second-hand books in Dutch and English, and a music department with CDs, DVDs, and records.
Word on the Water
Transformed from a 1920s Dutch boat, the floating bookshop sits along the Regent’s Canal Towpath and has brought joy to Londoners for over a decade. It looks so much like a setting from The Wind in the Willows that you may expect the bookseller to be an anthropomorphic（拟人化的）badger（獾）smoking a pipe. It offers a range of books, from brand new releases to older novels. It’s a delightful spot, offering seating along the nearby path where visitors can enjoy their new purchases, often accompanied by jazz bands performing on the rooftop of the boat.

A.The excellent service. B.The convenient location.

Running is a single yet highly effective form of exercise that has been embraced by people of all ages for centuries. It requires no special equipment except a good pair of running shoes, making it one of the most accessible sports globally.
When you run, numerous physical benefits come into play. Firstly, it improves cardiovascular health. Your heart pumps more efficiently, increasing blood circulation throughout the body. This helps in reducing the risk of heart diseases, high blood pressure, and strokes. Secondly, running is an excellent way to build muscle strength, especially in the legs, glutes, and core. As you push your body forward with each step, these muscles work in harmony, getting stronger over time.
Moreover, running has significant mental health benefits. It releases endorphins, often referred to as “feel-good” hormones, which can reduce stress, anxiety and symptoms of depression. Many runners also find that it provides a sense of accomplishment and boosts self-esteem. It gives them a chance to set goals, whether it’s running a certain distance or improving their time, and work towards achieving them.
However, like any sport, running has its challenges. Injuries such as shin splints, knee pain, and muscle strains can occur, especially if proper precautions are not taken. These may be caused by over-training, incorrect running form, or not giving the body enough time to rest and recover. To prevent injuries, it’s crucial to start slowly, gradually increase the intensity and duration of your runs and incorporate strength training and stretching into your routine.
Despite the challenges, running remains a popular choice for those seeking a healthy lifestyle. Whether it’s for the fitness, competition, or simply the joy of movement, running offers a wealth of rewards for both the body and mind.

The Chingay Parade is a grand annual street parade（游行）held in Singapore. Among this year’s heady atmosphere, Toh Cheng Siew, a 72-year-old, will be in the thick of the action, performing wheelchair dancing.
Cheng Siew’s introduction to wheelchair dancing was through his son, Kelvin Toh, who is responsible for his team’s performance in the parade. “I asked my dad to try. He found moving fast in a wheelchair quite fun,” Kelvin said. Kelvin was first exposed to the sport during the 2014 Asian Para Games, which influenced him to teach the sport, and then he linked up with a wheelchair dance group that invites people with a passion for dancing---whether able-bodied or physically challenged.
Kelvin was passionate about ensuring that his dance group could be inclusive（包容的), providing different people---wheelchair dancers, children, youths and seniors---the opportunity to perform at a national level.
Challenges came in the form of coming up with a dance routine which helped everyone show themselves. Kelvin had to make a great effort to find an effective kind of dance that matched the fast-paced music of the parade. But he desired to give the dancers their time in the spotlight. The dance design will have some turning actions in different orders so that everyone can display their talent at different times.
In this parade, the wheelchair road on the plastic flooring can be challenging. So he will adopt sports wheelchairs to adapt to different types of land. When it comes to wheelchair accessibility（轮椅无障碍设施）in Singapore, Kelvin noted that they do have a full wheelchair link-up sheltered pathway. However, there is still much to do. For instance, using a wheelchair around a shopping mall during peak hours can be a “nightmare”. Kelvin is eager to see more steps will be taken to shape a more inclusive society. Just like in the parade, where everyone will have a moment to show their moves, he expects everyone in a wheelchair can be seen by people in daily life.
( )28.What got Kelvin involved in wheelchair dancing
His father’s dancing experience.
The invitation from a dance group.
Inspiration from the Asian Para Games.
The dream of performing in the Chingay Parade.
( )29.What can we say about Kelvin’s dance team
It is a diverse mix.
It consists entirely of disabled people.
It focuses on performing traditional dances.
It is the first wheelchair dance team in Singapore.
( )30.What was Kelvin’s consideration in the dance design
Providing enough wheelchairs. B.Creating a dance suitable for all.
Finding appropriate dance music. D.Gaining a suitable practice space.
( )31.How does Kelvin view wheelchair accessibility in Singapore
It’s no longer a nightmare for people.
It is the root of imperfect road design.
It needs more attention and promotion.
It depends on the reasonable cost of wheelchair.
D
When Areej EI-Jawahri, a doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, signed the contract to purchase the house specially designed to fit the needs of multigenerational（多代的）residents, she knew she wanted her parents, who then lived in Michigan, to join her. “I wanted them to be in a state where I could help manage their health care needs,” she said. “As an only child from a Middle Eastern background, our culture is all about family units.”
El-Jawahri’s choice was not unique. A Pew Research Center analysis found that from 1971 to 2021, the number of people living in multigenerational households increased, with the share of the US population in these homes more than doubling, from 7 percent in 1971 to 18 percent in 2021.
“Rents in Boston are so high that I see lots of multigenerational living. Many young people move back in with their parents,” said Connie Brown, a global real estate adviser in Charlestown. “I have a rental apartment that’s 20, 000 just to walk into the door.”
One of Brown’s clients, Brian Lash changed space over his garage to an apartment for his 92-year-old dad. “Living with my dad for those months was wonderful,” he said, noting that his father has since passed away. “We watched basketball, baseball, and golf, we went out for dinner, and I cooked for him. Those are the days I would never have had if I hadn’t built that apartment.”
Still, experts encourage people to have an open conversation before they move in together. They propose that both parties talk about whether there are shared expenses and who is responsible for what and that they put their agreements in writing. Cohabitation (同居) agreements are common among friends, but they are equally crucial for multigenerational families. Putting it in writing at the beginning of the process enables people to clarify viewpoints, and sometimes allows them to decide whether to move in together or not.
( )32. Why did El-Jawahri purchase the specially designed house
A. To help caring for her parents.
B. To find better medical services.
C. To get more household property in Boston.
D. To experience culture in a multigenerational community.
( )33. What does the Pew Research Center analysis show about multigenerational living
It is mainly favored by the old.
It is popular among Middle Eastern individuals.
It frequently occurs in single-child families.
It has become more common in the US.
( )34. What did Brian Lash think of his living with his father
It provided financial savings.
It inspired his interest in sports.
It created valuable memories for him.
It brought unexpected adjustments to daily life.
( )35. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The reasons for people living together.
B. Convenience brought about by cohabitation.
C. The importance of multigenerational families.
D. Suggestions on smooth cohabitation.

阅读下文，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。
Have you ever thought about pouring used cooking oil down the sink Just turn on the tap and flush (冲走) it all away. 36.________ Not only does this bad habit cause problems in your house, backyard, or neighborhood, but pouring such substances down the sink also creates widespread problems for the entire wastewater system and the workers responsible for its maintenance.
The smooth day-to-day operation of our wastewater collection and treatment relies on the cooperation of people to “do the right thing”. Many water management authorities across Australia are in broad agreement: Please don’t pour oils down the sink. They all offer advice on far better alternatives. But the water industry has no control over what we do in the privacy of our homes. 37.________
When still hot, oils are often liquid and can be easily poured away. But down in the sewer (下水道) pipes, they rapidly cool and solidify. 38.________ According to Western Australia’s Water Corporation, it is estimated that 30% of sewer blockages are due to oils.
39.________Think about hair and so-called “flushable wipes”. They can build up over time, creating “fatbergs”: horrible masses of wipes, hair,hardened oils and other waste. Oils act as the glue that helps fatbergs build up at choke points in sewer systems.
There are more responsible ways of handling oils than just flushing them away. 40.________ Small amounts of cooking oil can safely be composted (制成堆肥). Even just pouring oils into the rubbish is better. But remember, you may need to cool hot oils down before putting them into the bin.

D．Some engines can run on cooking oil.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Papa, my grandfather, started teaching me to play chess when I was ten. He taught me everything he knew about chess. It took me three years to defeat him. Papa turned the chessboard over. I was amazed by what I saw. It was covered with dozens of names and dates.
"These are the people who have beaten me at chess. Look, this is the fellow who saved my life when we served in the army. He sent me to the hospital and cared for me. While in the hospital, he defeated me at chess," Papa said, pointing to a name, Paul Ward, on the board. Then he handed me a pen and asked me to add my name to it.
Years later, I graduated from college with a degree in social work. Papa handed me his chessboard, saying, "I want you to have this."
"Papa, I can't take this. It's special to you."
"And now, it'll be special to you, Grandson. That's the way it is in life: We pass our love on to the next person.
Sadly, it wasn't long after this that Papa passed away. I was heartbroken, of course. But determined to take things I had learned from him, and the love he had shown me, and pass them on to others.
Then I was hired to be the social worker for a retirement community. Each day. I observed elderly residents sitting alone, heads down, ready to give up. In the yard, there were several stone tables with chess boards imprinted （刻印） on them. One day, I sat down, set up my chess pieces and waited. An elderly mat cautiously approached.
"Care for a game " I cheerfully inquired（询问）. The man smiled weakly and sat down. It seemed as if he wasn't sure how to move the chess. We played in silence. The only sounds were the click-click of our chess pieces. I won. The old man sighed. "It's been a while since I played," he explained, "what if we can play chess together every day " Then, I decided to do something for the elderly.
