Don't Worry Darling

Moonage Daydream
Released on 13 September
Moonage Daydream is no ordinary rock documentary—but then, David Bowie was no ordinary rock star. The result is a joyous, immersive 140-minute portrait that brings you admiration for Bowie not just as a musician, actor, and style icon but as a human being.

A gym-honed Viola Davis stars as Nanisca, a general who trains the all-female band of warriors that protect a West African kingdom in the 19th Century. “I've never had a role like this before,” Davis said. “It's transformative.

Catherine Called Birdy
Released on 23 September
Lena Dunham makes the jump from 21st-Century New York to 13th-Century England in Catherine Called Birdy. Dunham's feminist period comedy stars Bella Ramsey as a young girl who wishes she could be as independent as her brothers.

Shao Gang and Shao Qiang—twins born in 1990 in Shandong province—and their 30 male employees all wear uniforms to work. From cleaning oily cooker hoods and fixing cracks in windows, to dusting ceiling lights and even polishing the shell of your pet turtle, they do it all.
The twins originally came to Hangzhou at the end of 2015 to work as e-commerce livestream hosts, but when they turned up to film, they felt uncomfortable. “It was as if there was nowhere to stand because the house was packed so full of products for the livestreams,” Shao Gang said.
Before they opened Hangzhou Shenshi Housekeeping Service Company in May last year, the twins spent 10,000 yuan being trained to clean professionally by a household service company in Zhengzhou, Henan province. Once their company was up and running, they advertised by posting videos on online platforms, which are popular with the younger generation.
Business has been good and can bring in up to 300,000 yuan a month. As a result, the twins have opened new branches and now offer deep cleaning services in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and a number of other cities, and have served thousands of customers. Even though many challenges remain in this corner of the service industry—including frequent quality complaints and labor conflicts—the twins have found that demand for their service is growing rapidly, especially among younger clients.
“More than 80 percent of our customers are young people,” Shao Gang said, explaining that even many born in the 2000s who have only just started to work are willing to spend money on deep cleaning. “For the young, who are more concerned with their quality of life, renting a house is not just about finding a place to sleep but about making a home where they can rest and relax, and so they are willing to pay for our services.”
24.What did the twins do to be a male housekeeper
A.They paid to get professional training.
B.They learned from many women cleaners.
C.They watched a lot of videos on platforms.
D.They ran a successful home service company.
25.What's the twins' attitude to the future of male housekeeping
A.Indifferent. B.Positive. C.Uncertain. D.Worried.
26.Why are the young willing to pay for deep cleaning
A.They focus on a quality life.
B.They dislike doing housework.
C.They consider it a great fashion.
D.They have little time to deal with it.
27.What can we learn from the text
A.It is never too late to learn.
B.Where there's life, there's hope.
C.Home's the only castle that needs care.
D.One may distinguish himself in any trade.
C
Do you want to know how to increase bone density (密度) and why it's important We need strong bones to support us and allow us to move. They protect the brain, heart and other major organs from injury. We reach our “peak” bone mass in our late 20s, and we start to lose bone strength as we get older.
If you want to increase bone density, Vitamin C plays an essential role in the production of collagen, which in turn aids bone strength. “By contrast, lifestyle factors, such as stress, physical inactivity, high caffeine and alcohol intakes and smoking can contribute to impaired bone health,” says Hope, a nutrition consultant.
She adds: “Vitamin C is widely abundant in fruits and vegetables and consuming five portions of fruits and vegetables a day is enough to obtain the recommended 40mg per day. Vitamin C is water-soluble and therefore if high doses (剂量) are consumed as a supplement, the body will excrete the additional Vitamin C, which is not required.”
We all know that weight lifting is good for developing muscles, but did you know that it also helps increase bone density Studies have shown that lifting weights and strength training can aid new bone growth and maintain the existing bone structure. “Weight lifting is a brilliant lifestyle factor that can contribute to supporting long-term bone health as it encourages constant bone turnover. As a result, regular weight lifting can contribute to the development of new bone, which in turn allows the bones to get stronger,” says Hope.
Strength training can particularly benefit elderly women, a study found. The women undertook a strength-training program for 12 months and saw “significant increases” in their bone density in the spine and hips—areas commonly affected by osteoporosis (骨质疏松).
28.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1
A.Introduce a topic. B.Give us a warning.
C.Provide some advice. D.Put forward a question.
29.What does the underlined word “excrete” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Take in. B.Pass on. C.Get rid of. D.Make up for.
30.What can weight lifting do according to Hope
A.Change bone structure. B.Help cure osteoporosis.
C.Allow muscles to turn over. D.Encourage bones to grow.
31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.What to eat at an old age
B.How to increase bone density
C.Why bone density is important
D.What we should do to keep healthy
D
I'm a glass-half-empty person. That's not to say there's no joy in my life; it just doesn't come as naturally to me as it appears to others. And despite fully meeting the textbook definition of “the opposite of an optimist”, I've never thought to label myself a pessimist. But I worry about my gloomy (悲观的) outlook because how strongly our culture emphasizes the value of a positive one. Plenty of news articles present similar ideas in a black-and-white fashion: optimists live longer; pessimism kills.
But some research suggests that things aren't so simple. In 2016, for example, a study of more than 700,000 British women failed to find a link between happiness and longevity. Could it be that culture plays a role—that British people, overall, are just more tolerant and accepting of gloominess
Now, new research seems to show that cultural perceptions (感知) of mental states may indeed have an influence. The study authors analyzed health data from 1,017 American and 374 Japanese people.
Even after accounting for things like a person's age, gender, socioeconomic status, and chronic health conditions, there was a significant difference between the two groups. “American adults who experience high levels of positive emotions, such as feeling'cheerful’ and'extremely happy’, are more likely to have healthy blood-lipid (血脂) analysis,” explains lead study author Jiah Yoo, but the same was not true among Japanese adults. Yoo explains,“In East Asian cultures, people commonly view positive emotions as having dark sides—they may attract unnecessary attention from others, and can be a distraction from focusing on important tasks.”
Past research has reached similar conclusions. In a 2015 Stanford study of 690 Chinese and American participants, for example, the Americans generally sought to maximize positive feelings and minimize negative ones, while the Chinese subjects were more likely to report that they commonly felt mixed emotions.
It's comforting for me to hear that at least one culture may accept and embrace my gloominess. I need to be gentler with myself. Maybe I don't need to shoot for delight. Maybe satisfaction can feel just as good.
32.Which country does the author probably come from
A.America. B.Britain. C.Japan. D.China.
33.What does paragraph 4 mainly intend to tell us
A.American adults are healthier than Japanese ones.
B.One's health is involved with many factors.
C.Culture plays a role in one's attitude towards positive emotions.
D.Health is linked with happiness.
34.What can we know from the text
A.Never label yourself a pessimist.
B.Optimists don't always live longer.
C.Positive emotions are essential to culture.
D.Optimists are better at adapting to society.
35.Where is the text probably from
A.A tourist guide. B.A story book.
C.A science magazine. D.A technology report.

When in need of some guidance, most people immediately look for an expert on the topic. 41 , however, researchers with the Association for Psychological Science find that many experts don't actually give better advice than others—they just give more of it.
“Skillful 42 and skillful teaching are not always the same thing, so we shouldn't 43 the best performers to necessarily be the best teachers as well,” says lead study author David Levari. “People seem to 44 quantity for quality. Our studies suggest that 45 in some instances, people may overvalue advice from 46 performers.”
An experiment featured 2,085 people randomly 47 to either an advice or a no-advice group. After 48 a single round of the game of Word Scramble, participants in the advice group 49 advice from a random advisor and then played five more 50 . Meanwhile, the no-advice group just played six rounds without any 51 .
People in the advice group did 52 perform better after getting some guidance, and their performances tended to 53 round by round. However, on average, researchers say the advice coming from the best players was not any more 54 than others' suggestions.
“In our experiments, people given advice by top performers thought that it helped them more, but it is not always the 55 . Surprisingly, they thought this even though they didn't know anything about the people who wrote their advice,” Levari explains.

I had a flat tire on a country road. I sat for a few minutes complaining. Then I began emptying my trunk to find tools to change the tire.
Darkness began to settle in. The tire was on the passenger side, away from the traffic, but making it difficult to benefit from the headlights of passing cars.
Suddenly a car pulled off behind me. I saw a man approaching me. “Hey, do you need any help ”
This young guy was dressed in black. Nearly everything imaginable was tattooed (文身).
“How about giving you a hand ” he said.
“Well... I think I can ...” I answered.
“Come on, it will only take me a while.” He took over the job. While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. Thoughts of car robberies flashed through my mind. It began to pour.
“Look, just stop what you're doing. I appreciate your help. You'd better get going. I'll finish after the rain stops,” I said.
“Let me help you put your stuff back in the trunk,” he insisted. “Then get in my car. We'll wait with you.”
“No, really. I'll take care of everything,” I said.
“Get in,” he said as he grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the car. I jumped into it. “Oh, don't be scared!” I thought to myself. Wet and tired I settled into the back seat.
Suddenly a weak voice came from the front seat. “Are you OK ” she said as she turned around.
“Yes,” I replied with relief seeing the old woman. It must be his mom.
“My name is Beatrice and this is my neighbor Jeff. He insisted on stopping when seeing you struggling with the tire.”
“I am grateful for his help,” I said.
“Me, too!” she said with a laugh. “Jeff takes me to visit my husband. I placed him in a nursing home and it's 30 minutes away from my home. Every Monday we have a date.” She laughed. Then Jeff got into the car.

【答案】
One possible version:
The change in sleeping hours
The graph demonstrates the average hours of sleep of the people from a country over the span from 1986 to 2022. Generally, people in that country sleep less and less. Back in 1986,people slept for about 8.5 hours on average. The number continued to decrease as time went by. In 2022, people slept on average about only 6.8 hours a day.
My quality of sleep is excellent. Every day, I sleep for about 7 hours. I sleep more on the weekend because I always have a long and hard day at school. The sports I play wear me out, so I don't toss and turn in bed. I live near my school, so I don't need to get up too early for school. In short, I am happy with the quality of my sleep.

【答案】
One possible version:
“I know people who look like me don't do nice things,” Jeff said. I really felt uncomfortable. I never believed that I judged people by the way they dressed. I was angry with myself for being so stupid. “Jeff is a great kid. I'm not the only one he helps. He's a volunteer at our church. He works with the kids in the learning center at the low-income housing unit in our town,” said Beatrice. Jeff said that he was a tutor as he stared at my car.
Finally, the rain stopped. Jeff and I changed the tire. I tried to offer him money and of course, he refused. As we shook hands I began to apologize for my stupidity. He said,“I often experience that same reaction. I actually thought about changing the way I look. But then I saw this as an opportunity against prejudice.”

W:Good morning. I'm very pleased to have this opportunity to say about an excitement in the city: the Megan Open-Air Swimming Pool. The pool used to be an open-air pool on the sea 30 years ago, but it had to be closed because it was unsafe. Now it is rebuilt and is to be open again. The idea of reopening it came from you, the public, in the survey conducted by the City Council last year. And the fund for rebuilding the pool came from the SWDC—the South West Development Commission.
This new heated pool was designed by a famous architect, Ellen Wendon. He used a charming design, with the latest features such as a recycling system which enables seawater to be used in the pool. All the cost of the rebuilding project was within the budget. Now there has been quite a bit of discussion in the local press about whether there would be enough room for the number of visitors. Don't worry. There have been careful checks about its capacity.
The opening date of the new pool is set on July 15th. We have invited an actor to declare it open. We plan to have a sculpture at the entrance. There will also be a competition for you to decide which famous historical figure from the city we should have. And again we'd love to see you there.
