What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into eye-catching functional artworks.
Straw weaving is a method of making daily items or artworks by braiding straw. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. The earliest straw-woven products were unearthed at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic(新石器的) cultural site located in Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were mats made of cattail grass(香蒲) during the Zhou Dynasty.
Wu explains the process of straw weaving: you need to select the materials first, and then sketch the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills.Next comes the weaving, shaping and finally the preserving of the work. Even by sticking to that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike and solid.
Wu recalls that, when she was a child, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life.“Due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which provide low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country,”she notes.
From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture.“For straw weaving to blossom, craftspeople should make joint efforts to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,”she says.
When asked about her plans, Wu says she longs to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by making full use of the straw weaving technique.
24. What do we know about straw weaving according to the text
A. Straw weaving is a way to make priceless items or artworks.
B. One of Mencius’ works documents the history of straw weaving.
C. It has been a Chinese intangible cultural heritage for over ten years.
D. The earliest straw weaving products were found at Banpo Cultural Ruins.
25. Which of the following is part of the process of straw weaving
A.Shaping the straw before weaving it. B. Drawing the work on paper.
C. Using a special machine to process the material. D. Drying the fresh wheat.
26. What can be inferred from Wu’s words
A.Chasing profits is the main purpose for craftsmen.
B. Straw weaving artworks can neglect people’s demands.
C. Straw weaving skills should keep pace with the times.
D.Straw weaving has gained in popularity over recent years.
27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Health. B. Culture. C. Education. D. Business.

We all know there’s good cholesterol(胆固醇) and bad cholesterol. It turns out there’s good and bad fat, too.The good fat is medically known as brown fat. It’s good because it burns calories. The more familiar fat, known as white fat, stores up calories and stubbornly accumulates around waistlinesand bottoms.
Scientists have known about brown fat for decades. Small mammals and human infants(婴儿) have deposits of it around their shoulder blades. It generates heat and helps maintain the body’s core temperature. Recently, three studies inthe New England Journal of Medicine suggest that brown fat—which becomes gradually less with age—might serve as a whole new way to help people lose weight. “We calculate that if you had three ounces’worth of brown fat, that would be enough to burn up 400 to 500 calories per day,”says Dr. Aaron Cypess, an author of one of the new studies.
The newstudies, which come from the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands, studied brown fat activity in 24 healthy young men—10 of them lean(瘦且健康的) and the others overweight. Study subjects spent two hours in a mildly chilly room—16.1 °C. Then they underwent PET scans and CT scans to measure the location and metabolic(新陈代谢的) activity of brown fat deposits.Brown fat showed up as “hot spots” in the scans of 23 out of the 24 volunteers. The one with no detectable brown fat was the most obese.
The researchers also found that exposure to chilly temperatures caused an increase in the metabolic rate of brown fat in their healthy adult volunteers. They figure that if a way can be found to activate the typical person’s stores of brown fat, it will burn off at least 9 pounds of regular whitefat a year. Sitting at home at 16 °C may be a simple way to achieve that and other candidate targets are already known.
Who may have the most brown fat according to the text
A. An energetic teenager.B. A middle-aged man.
C. A lovely baby.D. An old woman.
Which statement will Dr. AaronCypess probably agree with
A. It doesn’t take much brown fat to burn calories.
B. People are supposed to focus on losing weight.
C. White fat mainly accumulates around shoulder blades.
D. Small mammals take advantage of brown fat to beat heat.
30. What do the studies mentioned in paragraph 3 show
A. Young men prefer brown fat to white fat.
B. People become overweightfor lack of brown fat.
C. The location of brown fat deposits is hard to measure.
D. Obese people may have less brown fat than lean people.
31. What will be talked about in the next paragraph
A. Benefits of staying in freezing rooms. B. Ways of activating stores of brown fat.
C. Targets of keeping a healthy weight.D. Risks of eating too much heavy food.
D
Next time you’re having trouble solving a tricky puzzle, consider asking a nearby bumblebee. A new study in the journal PLOS Biology finds that these humble insects can actually learn to solve puzzles from one another, suggesting that even some invertebrates(无脊椎动物) have a capacity for what we humans call “culture.”
“Nobody’s really thought that invertebrates like bumblebees show evidence of culture,”says Alice Bridges, an ecologist at Anglia Ruskin University. “People assume that they’re mostly driven by inborn factors.” Bridges set out to prove them wrong. To study culture in bumblebees, she first drilled some bees to solve puzzle boxes. She trained some bees to head-butt the red switch to get the sugar water and trained others to push the blue switch. Then, Bridges placed these tutor bees into different colonies, along with the puzzle boxes.
It wasn’t all fun and games: Bridges got stung multiple times and the fourth sting sent her to the hospital. Bridges persevered, however, and the experiment ultimately played itself out. In colonies where the tutor bee had learned to push the red switch, the other bees usually pushed the red switch. In colonies where the tutor bee was trained to push the blue switch, their fellow bees tended to do the same. In the control colonies where there were no tutors, the bees sometimes learned how to open the boxes, but never as efficiently or reliably.
The conclusion, Bridges and her colleagues report in their new study today, is that bumblebees can transmit certain behaviors—culturally. “Maybe culture isn’t that unusual,” she says. “Maybe it’s not some pinnacle(顶峰) of cognition that only a few species have.”
“Many of us consider ourselves special because we have culture and we can learn,” says Jessica Ware, an entomologist. “The truth is that all we have found about animal culture means that human culture, once thought unique, did not appear ‘out of the blue’ but has obviously built on deep evolutionary(进化的) foundations.”
32.How did the bumblebees get the sugar water from the puzzle boxes
A. By pressing a button. B. By solving word puzzles.
C. By bursting open the boxes. D. By turning the boxes upside down.
33. What can be inferred about the experiment
A. It contradicts the former research. B. It shows that culture is unique to humans.
C. It has received wide recognition. D. It has brought Bridges much trouble.
34. What does the underlined phrase “out of the blue” in the last paragraph mean
A. Slowly. B. Suddenly.C. Endlessly.D. Regularly.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Can Insects Have Culture
B. Can New Culture Be Created
C. How Do Bumblebees Tutor Peers
D. How Will Invertebrate Study Be Expanded

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
What a dumb thing to say! Of course they don't like you. This kind of negative self-talk can get in the way of creating strong relationships with yourselves and others.Luckily, here are a few ways to quiet those voices.
Talk to yourself the way you would talk to a friend
When you disparage(贬低) your looks or criticize your decisions, you’re not giving yourselves thecare that you would give others.36 .Use the same gentle language that you do with your loved ones with yourselves.
Monitor and collect evidence
37 .Monitor what kind of negative self-talk you’re having andnotice how those negative thought patterns work.Once you notice that you’re telling yourself not-so-nice stories, collect evidence on whether those things are actually true.
Spend less time on social media
People tend to turn to social media for mental health advice.38 , but sometimes it makes you criticizeyourself. Thus, you are advised totake down how much time you spend on social media and what kind of information you’re consuming.
39
More often than not, you feel like people are paying more attention to us than they actually are. If you feel stuck, try observing the world around you. Anything that really connects you to something biggercan be a really helpful way to shift your view so that you’re not so focused on yourself.
Adopt a “growth mindset”
Consider every loss as part of your learning process. Let’s say you lose a round of pool. Those with a fixed mindset may say: I’ll never get good at this! Growth-minded people believe that effort can lead to mastery: Hey! I’m getting a lot better at putting some power behind the ball!40 .
Think of yourself less
It can feel uplifting at first
It may help clear up any assumptions
Surround yourself with positive influences
It’s all about finding the right perspective
You have to be aware of how that mean voice operates
Try replacing that negative inner voice with a kinder one

书面表达
One possible version
Procrastination is a trap that many of us fall into. It has become one of the main barriers blocking us from working on meaningful tasks and living the fulfilled life we’ve thought of.
The reasons why we procrastinate is that we are confused about what is a priority when faced with an ocean of decisions. If we can't decide what to do, we'll likely put off taking action. Besides, we may have doubts about our ability and are worried about failing, so we postpone it. As with most habits, it is possible to overcome procrastination. For one thing, it’s highly suggested that we keep a to-do list. Write down the tasks that we need to complete, and specify a time for doing them. For another, we might as well promise ourselves a reward. If we complete a difficult task on time, reward ourselves with treats.
Hopefully, all of us can get rid of procrastination and live everyday to the fullest.
