Muck was a tiny place, the smallest of the Small Isles off Scotland's west coast. Lawrence's family bought it in 1896 and made a decent living from it. Yet it was also left behind by the world. Most residents had moved away to softer places in the 19th century. By the late 1960s the MacEwens, too, were wondering whether or not to stay. Lawrence's elder brother was set ongoing to the mainland and making Muck a summer-only place. But Lawrence knew he could never leave, being rooted there.
So he took Muck on, at 27, and for the next 50y cars directed its future. He did not want to change it much. He worried about television, cars, and crowds of noisy tourists. On the other hand, visitors meant income. Under his protection there was only one tiny hotel. There was still no pub, post office, or general shop. Nor, still, was there an easy harbor, because to build on con the best site would have damaged the beautiful view of the island. And the population, as for decades, remained around 40 souls.
But Lawrence was sure that 40 souls could keep Muck going, if they worked hard enough and pulled together. What the island needed was nothing sudden, but a spirit of community. He encouraged the islanders to plant trees.

Research has long documented that individual productivity decreases during the day due to stress and tiredness. This explanation does not account for the possibility that productivity may also vary depending on the specific time of day when the task is performed. A new study conducted at a UK university may reveal in sighs that could change the way we think about this issue.
The authors of the a nays is, Alessio Gagger o and Denni Tommasi both economists, examined 503, 358exam scores from over 50, 000 students. The beauty of these exams was that students were randomly distributed to three time slots: “morning” at 9 a.m., “early afternoon” at1: 30 p.m., or “late afternoon” at 4: 30 p.m., and students could only sit for one exam per day. Moreover, the scores were graded on a 0-100 scale.
They found that students' exam performance followed an inverse U-shape. To be more specific, students' scores of the second timeslot were higher than the “morning” scores, and slightly above the “late afternoon” scores. “The implication is that, all else being equal, individuals sitting an important cognitive(认知的) assessment at an unfavorable time are di advantaged,” the researchers wrote.
Based on the results, they assumed the circadian(生理节奏的) rhythm, heavily influenced by light, might be the determining factor. To prove their circadian assumption, Gagger o and Tommasi found some key pieces of supporting evidence.
First, the time-of-day effect is much larger in January, when there's much less morning light. Second, it is much more pronounced for exams involving problem solving, logical thinking, and abstract reasoning, features which have been shown to be more affected by the circadian rhythm. What's more, age seems to be another determinant
“Students underage 20 performed better in the early afternoon to a much greater degree than students over that age. This makes sense, as people in their late teens have been found to have the “latest” biological clocks. For teenagers, the most wakeful period is generally the early afternoon, while for adults, it can change to midmorning or even early morning for older adults,” Tommasi adds.
More broadly, the results confirm that we should tackle mentally challenging tasks at times that lineup with our circadian rhythm, when we are most wakeful.
28. What do previous studies and the new one focus on
A. Approaches to relieving people's stress.
B. Methods of boosting students' exam scores.
C. Factors affecting people's brain productivity.
D. Causes of students' poor academic performance.
29. What conclusion can Gagger o and Tommasi draw from their study
A. Students tend to prefer different learning periods.
B. The subjects’ cognitive levels are slightly different.
C. Important exams should be arranged late at night.
D. The peak exam performance occurs in the early afternoon.
30. What can be implied from Tommasi’s words in Paragraph 6
A. The daily cognitive peak may arrive earlier as we age.
B. The old have more wakeful periods than the young.
C. The biological clock seems to be stable among adults.
D. The peak of people's cognitive ability is around age 20.
31. What would be the best title for the text
A. How Can Students Increase Their Productivity During the Day
B. Can the Circadian Rhythm Influence Exam Performance
C. Why Should Teachers Organize Exams
D. Should Students Get Up Early to Exercise
D
Sherif Baioumy’s morning begins at around 7 a.m. in a carport in Queens, where he o ads up his cart (手推车) with the day’s food: chicken, lamb, rice, vegetables, hotdogs, and soon. A partner at aches the cart to the back of a pickup truck, and by 9.30 a.m. they've rolled it into place on the south-west corner of 48th Street and 6th Avenue, in the heart of office worker Midtown.
Too many people consider food vendors(摊贩) a trouble. In fact they play a vital role—not just by feeding people, but as living records of their cities changing habits and population.
The next eight hours area steady stream of frying, wrapping and never-ending joking. Calling Mr Baioumy friendly is like calling water damp; he is cheerful and warm, whether fist-bumping(击拳)with his regulars or attracting passers-by. In restaurants, where chefs are generally secreted in the kitchen, they can afford to be unfriendly. Buying lunch from a vendor is a closer experience, and chatting to him a she cooks is part of the attraction.
Mr Baioumy runs one of Manhattan's halal carts, a term with a meaning specific to New York. Usually overseen by Afghans, Bangladeshis or Egyptians like him, they mainly serve chicken or lamb over rice. Much like food trucks in Los Angeles, New York’s halal carts have similar menus, but each vendor has his own style: Mr Baioumy’s chicken has an almost Mediterranean flavour.
These carts were unknown a couple of decades ago, when souvlaki a Greek dish, was the street lunch of choice. But as immigration(移民) from Greece slowed and Greek vendors aged, newer am rivals took their place.
In time, the chicken and lamb that Mr Baioumy sells may seem a sun remarkably Americana shot dogs, which were once the province of immigrant vendors. But as food develops, New York's food carts serve the same function: offering a quick meal and friendly greeting to a city forever in a hurry.
32. Why are food vendors important
A. They strengthen bonds between passers-by.
B. They solve the eating problems of all residents.
C. They help raise regional employment.
D. They witness a place's past and present.
33. What can be said about Baioumy from paragraph 3
A. He is a native of New York.
B. He doesn't like damp weather.
C. He is enthusiastic and pleasant.
D. He doesn't respect other chefs.
34. What contributed to the rise of Manhattan's halal carts
A. The cheap prices they set. B. The decline of Greek dishes.
C. The stylish foods they provide. D. The ever-growing population.
35. What does the author think of the food Baioumy sells
A. It should include more varieties. B. It will be part of the city one day.
C. It will be more popular than hot dogs. D. It should be improved for a better taste.

Swimming has been called the perfect exercise. After all, you can get all of the benefits of an aerobic(有氧的) workout without any damage to joints, and it can be done by both the very old and the very young. 36 —just you and the deep blue. So, let's take a big breath, and dive into the benefits of swimming.
Full body workout. 37 .So, whether you swim a gentle breaststroke(蛙泳) or backbreaking butterfly, you will get a full body workout. Plus, exercising in water makes your bodywork harder, so. 30 minutes in a pool is worth 45 minutes of the same activity on land.
Destress and relax. Whether it’s work stressing you out the kids being a nightmare, or just life in general, we all get times when we just want to SCREAM. 38 .Swimming regularly can lower stress levels, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve your sleep patterns.
Burn those calories. Swimming is one of the most effective ways to bum calories. A gentle swim can bum over 200 calories in just half an hour, more than double that of walking. 39
No sweat. If sweating puts you off other forms of exercise, fear not! As a swimmer, you'll never feel sweaty no matter how hard you work because the water around you is constantly cooling you down.
40 .While all exercise can produce greater health and longevity, studies point to swimming as one of the best choices for doing so. Researchers at the University of South Carolina looked at 40, 547men, aged 20 to 90, for over 32 years. The results showed that those who swam had a 50 percent lower death rate than runners, walkers, or men who didn't exercise.
A. Lengthen your life
B. Well, help is at hand
C. Lower the risk of accidents
D. And there is no fancy equipment needed
E. Swimming uses all the muscles in the body
F. No matter what your fitness level, the general benefits of swimming are yours
G. And a faster swim would see a chocolate bar gone quicker than if you went running or cycling

More than 500 million people worldwide live with depression or anxiety disorders. It's good news, then, that two new 56 (study) show that any type of regular physical exercise including walking, running, cycling or strength training—can help relieve symptoms(症状) of these conditions.
A University of Gothenburg clinical trial found that most patients 57 anxiety who participated in a 12-week strength training program saw major improvements—and the more actively people worked out, 58 more their anxiety symptoms lessened, For example, participants who exercised for an hour three times a week 59 reached 75 per cent of their maximum heart rate became more 60 (relax) than those who only attained 60 percent of their maximum heart rate.
To relieve depression, a basic 61 (solve) is to spend less time sitting, according to a study in Frontiers in Psychiatry. The researchers found that people who spent more time on the couch(长沙发)looking at screens 62 .(be) more likely to be depressed than those who got up and moved more 63 (frequent) .
For both conditions, exercise may help ease symptoms by releasing feel-good chemicals called endorphins, 64 (stimulate) the growth of nerve cell connections in brain regions that regulate mood, and taking your mind off negative thoughts 65 fuel depression and anxiety.
