Barbara Spiecke, now a research scientist at the University of New Hampshire, is deaf. As an undergraduate, she was surrounded by a mix of deaf and hearing colleagues. Luckily, she could use American Sign Language(ASL)---English interpreters provided by the university. It was a crucial support, but not without its challenges. ASL signs for complicated scientific topics don't exist or haven't yet been widely adopted. So, during her presentation a large part of her focus was devoted to signing in a way that was most likely to avoid translation errors. The result was an accurate but awkward presentation.
Spiecker hopes other deaf scientists won’t have to go through the same thing. So, she co-founded an organization, Atomic Hands, in 2018 to light “wonder and curiosity” in STEM. She had a goal： to create videos teaching scientific concepts using both ASL signs and English closed captioning （字幕）. Along the way, Atomic Hands and other organizations have boosted the visibility （可见度）of STEM-related signs, promoting community involvement to improve, and standardize them.
Since the foundation of Atomic Hands, a newer set of ASL signs for states of matter that visually explain the connections between them has gained broader acceptance. Atomic Hands did not create the signs―they came from the community—but the organization is sharing them via its online videos.
Spiecker encourages other scientists to experiment with new signs and to offer feedback, good and bad. “When I teach, I constantly remind them that the new signs I show them are not concrete,” Spiecker says. "If they don't like it, let me know, and I'll use a different sign.”
Spiecker's goals also go beyond ASL. At last year's Ecological Society of America conference, she presented a lecture on opportunities to diversify science communication, such as improving virtual access to conferences or creating audiobooks alongside printed products. Too often, she said, organizers only offer accommodations when it benefits the majority.
24. What troubled Spiecke as an undergraduate
A. How to communicate with her deaf colleagues.
B. How to find a good ASL-English interpreter.
C. How to understand those complicated topics.
D. How to make her presentations get across.
25. What did Spiecke intend to do with Atomic Hands
A. Create accessible STEM content.
B. Promote the quality of education.
C. Involve people in scientific research.
D. Invent a sign language for STEM study.
26. What can be learned from Spiecker’ words
A. She is open to advice on the signs.
B. She loves teaching the deaf STEM.
C. She is doubtful about her present work.
D. She plans to adopt a new sign language.
27. Which of the following can best describe Spiecker
A. Caring and creative. B. Humorous and ambitious.
C. Generous and smart. D. Determined and proud.

I love watching football games and couldn't help but notice how many footballers chew gum while playing! I always thought of it as a choking danger, so why would they risk it
When we chew something, the receptors in our mouth that sense taste and pressure from the jaw movements start firing and sending electrical signals to the brain. These electrical nervous system signals move to the brain, which works to understand these signals. This added brain activity places the mind in a more attentive state, which is why focus and concentration are improved.
Additionally, chewing gum has been reported to decrease stress and anxiety levels. The brain activity stimulated （刺激）by chewing gum occurs mainly in the prefrontal cortex, the front part of the brain responsible for decision-making and emotional regulation. When chewing gum, the prefrontal cortex is activated, leading to the release of a "feel-good” neurotransmitter called dopamine （多巴胺）.Dopamine is known to promote a sense of pleasure and reward, helping to relieve feelings of stress and anxiety.
So does this mean that the harder you chew, the better the focus levels Yes to an extent. Chewing harder gum does boost attention more than softer gum. Similarly, chewing flavored gum is better for cognitive （认知）functioning, as it activates more receptors in the mouth than chewing flavorless gum.
With lower stress levels and better focus, athletes have better decision-making abilities in the middle of the game. It also helps them keep their anxiety levels in check during big games. Chewing gum does give your body a little boost, lifting up your spirits. That explains why athletes prefer chewing gum while playing a sport. But for the sake of safety, you'd better chew just one piece to reduce the choking risk.
28. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 1 probably refer to
A. Chewing gum during games.
B. Suffering from sports injuries.
C. Swallowing gum for pleasure.
D. Choking while watching games.
29. How can chewing help improve focus
A. By affecting digestive system.
B. By releasing high pressure.
C. By adding muscle strength.
D. By stimulating the brain.
30. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Gum proves a healthy snack for athletes.
B. Chewing gum benefits mental health.
C. Dopamine contributes to better focus.
D. Brain activity helps relieve anxiety.
31. What is the author's attitude to chewing gum
A. Hopeful. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
D
When we think about what makes humans different from other animals, the word “conscience" often appears. Conscience is the feeling you get when you assess (评估)i you've done something "correct” or "wrong". It is with the help of our conscience that we understand the moral principles we hold. This motivates us to act on them and therefore helps us assess our character and behavior. Eventually, it helps us judge ourselves against those principles, in terms of how well we follow them. Accordingly, you avoid certain desires (i. e. 9 eating in class) and follow the behavior that is considered correct or "right” (paying attention to what the teacher is teaching).
Consciousness, on the other hand, reflects how aware you are of your surroundings. A good way to understand this is to think of the human mind as an iceberg, as proposed by Freud's psychoanalytic theory. The part of the iceberg on the surface represents your conscious awareness. It refers to all the things you are aware of and can easily describe. For instance, right now, while reading this article, your conscious mind is helping you make connections. The deeper level o the iceberg is your unconscious mind. It refers to aspects that you are unaware of, including your fears, violent motives, and strong desires that are hard to describe.
Many researchers, like Freud, propose that morality or conscience develops when a child internalizes （内在化）the rules that their parents set when the child was growing up. However, some psychologists, like Paul Bloom, argue that morality is something we are all born with. Bloom argues that all babies are born with a sense of fairness. The claim came from studies of adopted children with genes, who were twins and separated at birth. If they possessed the "gene" to be kind, they would continue to be kind, despite being brought up in different family environments.
So, which opinion is true We truly don't know. While there is more evidence in the studies claiming that conscience is developed through learning and socialization, the newer ideas of it being genetically acquired from birth look promising as well!
32. What is a function of conscience
A. It motivates us to act quickly.
E. It keeps record of our behavior.
C. It assesses our moral principles.
D. It helps us tell right from wrong.
33. In which situation does your unconscious mind work
A. You apply what you learn to practice.
E. You appreciate the beauty of poetry.
C. You have a fear of public speaking.
D. You describe violent scenes in a book.
34. What may Freud agree with
A. Genes affect kids' consciousness.
B. Kids acquire conscience with age.
C. Genetic studies promote his theory.
D. Parents should set strict rules for kids.
35. What may be a suitable title for the text
A. New theory uncovers the secret of our mind
B. What helps tell human being from animals
C. Is conscience gained at birth or with age
D. Consciousness improves our moral level

In a highly technical world, there is something quite magical about the timelessness of the public library. And the impact and importance of libraries extends across decades centuries even, dating back to 4th century BC in Athens. 36 They serve as community cornerstones and giving free access to books, resources, and information.
A study by Pew Research Center found that 94% of Americans agreed that having a public library improves the quality of life in a comm unity, and 95% said that libraries give everyone a chance to succeed and promote a love for reading. 37 Here are a few o the reasons why they are so important.
Libraries promote education.
Beyond the free access to books and computers, many libraries also offer valuable services including tutoring, learning camps, and homeschooling resources. Many libraries host STEAM events for kids where they get to experience life as an astronaut, learning about the solar system and working together to build robotic, space-related projects. 38
Libraries build a sense of community.
39 So, whether you join a monthly book club or read book submissions from local authors, you5re broadening your horizons, making connections, and learning from other members——ones who you may have never crossed paths with otherwise.
40
Original documents are digitized and maintained at libraries. This helps preserve the nation's cultural heritage, as well as provide an opportunity to better understand others' points of view.
