For fifteen years as a Toronto corporate lawyer, my life was measured in hours and deadlines. Efficiency was not just a habit; it was my identity. Then I joined a wilderness canoe (独木舟) trip in northern Quebec — a decision that would challenge everything I believed about time.
Our guide, a Creek elder named Joseph, moved with a deliberateness that initially frustrated me. Each morning, he spent nearly an hour making tea, watching the lake, reading the sky. I calculated how much ground we could cover. Three days later, I finally asked why we couldn’t pack up faster.
He looked at me with something between amusement and pity. “Where are you going that’s so important ” The question caught me off guard. I opened my mouth and realized I had nothing to say. A sudden emptiness washed over me, leaving me completely speechless. But his next words struck deeper. “My people have traveled these waters for thousands of years,” he said. “The ones who hurry make mistakes. They miss the signs. They tip their canoes in rapids they should have seen. The river doesn’t care how fast you want to go.”
I brushed off his words as romantic wisdom until we ran a set of rapids. I was in the bow, paddling hard, focused on speed. Joseph called from the stern (船尾): “Slow down. Feel the water.” I turned a deaf ear to him. Moments later, we caught an edge I hadn’t noticed, and the canoe tipped, throwing us both into freezing water.
As we dragged the canoe ashore, Joseph said nothing. His silence was more overwhelming than any lecture. That night, sitting by the fire, I began to understand. My whole life had been about conquering time. But here, speed had literally sunk me.
I returned to Toronto with something fundamental shifted. When colleagues race through meetings, checking emails while pretending to listen, I find myself thinking of Joseph. The river still flows through me — a quiet reminder that some things cannot be rushed. The unhurried are not always slow; sometimes, they are simply wise enough to recognize what deserves their full attention.

Middle age has become a critical breaking point in the US. Those born in the 1960s and early 1970s report higher level of loneliness and depression, along with declining memory and physical strength — an unusual trend when compared with other wealthy nations, where midlife health and well-being have improved, especially inNordic Europe.
To figure out the root cause, Arizona State University psychologist Frank J. Infurna and his colleagues analyzed survey data from 17 countries. They concluded that America’s real midlife crisis stems from balancing work, finances, family and health amid weakening social supports, rather than personal lifestyle choices. Their findings, published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, point to multiple contributing factors and offer directions for change.
Family policy differences mark a key gap between the US and Europe. European countries have increased family welfare expenditure (支出) since the early 2000s, while US spending has stayed largely unchanged, lacking cash transfers, parental leave support and funded childcare. This leaves US middle-aged adults, who balance work, child-raising and elder care, facing steadily rising loneliness across generations.
Healthcare affordability and income inequality worsen the situation. The US spends the most on healthcare globally, yet individuals face limited access and high out-of-pocket costs, leading to stress, anxiety and medical debt. Income inequality has also grown in the US, unlike in Europe, and is linked to poorer health and greater loneliness, as it restricts education, employment and social service access.
Cultural patterns and weak social safety nets also contribute to the issue. Americans move frequently and live far from extended families, weakening social ties. Later US generations also face financial insecurity, while Europe’s stronger safety nets protect its middle-aged population. Notably, education is losing its protective power: despite higher educational attainment, US middle-aged adults show episodic memory decline, weakened by ongoing stress and health risks.
The researchers stress these outcomes are not unavoidable. Personal social engagement can lessen stress, but individual efforts are insufficient — strong policy-backed safety nets are essential to reverse the troubling midlife health trends in the US.
8. What led to America’s midlife crisis according to Infurna’s research
A. Close living space but loose social bonds.
B. Heavy life pressures but weak social supports.
C. Insufficient education and unfair work opportunities.
D. Unhealthy lifestyle and limited access to medical care.
9. What is a major difference in family policies between the US and Europe
A. Europe has cared less about social ties. B. The US has adjusted cash transfer policies.
C. The US has broadened parental leave support. D. Europe has increased family benefits spending.
10. What conclusion can be drawn about US healthcare from the text
A. People lack accessible and affordable care.
B. It lays emphasis on people’s mental health.
C. The government cuts down healthcare spending.
D. Medical debt is people’s biggest financial burden.
11. What is the key to the solution of US midlife crisis
A. Individual social involvement. B. Experts’ long-term professional guidance.
C. Gradual transformation of cultural patterns. D. Strong government-supported social protections.
D
When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy(热能) storage system.
KTU professor Dr Tadas dankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks.
Initially, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat via a hydraulic system (液压系统). They found that so-called hydraulic losses, typically seen as inefficiencies, were actually generating usable heat.However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. The question became how to not only decrease heat loss but also store it.
To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in surface soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and persists in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor.“Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. dankus.
Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a pilot model ground energy cell to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground.
To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining heat distribution control methods.“Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industry and residential sectors.” dankus concludes.
12. What is the main goal of the KTU research project
A. To reduce winter heating costs. B. To capture thermal energy from soil.
C. To store underground heat for later use. D. To promote hydraulic system efficiency.
13. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4
A. Phase change makes heat control possible. B. Hydraulic losses can be avoided by heat transfer.
C. Vapour flow contributes to big temperature drops. D. Heat production poses a great challenge to experts.
14. What are researchers doing for the practical use of the systems
A. Building large-scale industrial heating systems. B. Developing test models with improved control.
C. Applying the technology to residential sectors. D. Reducing the energy consumption of buildings.
15. Which of the following would be the suitable title for the text
A. From Wind to Warmth: an Unexpected Path
B. Future System: Uniting Industry and Home Heating
C. A New Discovery: Turning Hydraulic Loss into Gain
D. The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage

The Benefits of Power Naps
Winston Churchill swore by them. After polishing off a boozy lunch and a cigar the former British prime minister would climb into bed for an afternoon nap. The last part of his regime may be worth imitating.
____16____ A randomized controlled trial in 2023 found that nappers woke up with improvements to mood, alertness and memory. Napping habitually might also be wise. A study from 2007 found that healthy adults who took regular naps had a 37% lower risk of dying from heart disease.
____17____ Sleep scientists tend to agree that a short “power” nap, somewhere between ten and 30 minutes, is best. For example, in 1994 NASA found that a 26-minute power nap enhanced pilots’ performance. Sleep for too long and you enter deeper sleep phases and wake up feeling groggy. ____18____ A meta-analysis in 2016 concluded that daily naps lasting more than an hour increased the risk of developing diabetes.
Some sleep experts contend that humans are biologically disposed to nap. They point to a natural dip in alertness after midday. ____19____ But even though a daytime rest fits this natural body rhythm, people still need to get seven hours of sound sleep at night.
Coffee is a popular antidote to midday drowsiness. ____20____ A study published in 2008 found power naps to be more effective than caffeine at improving alertness and memory.
“The rest in the middle of the day”, Churchill wrote, “refresh the human frame far more than a long night.” Modern sleep experts might not go so far. But if you have time for a catnap, it could do you some good. Just remember to set an alarm.
A. However, the duration of your nap is critical.
B. Sleeping during the day is not just for shift workers and cats.
C. This natural dip in alertness makes a brief daytime sleep appealing.
D. But research suggests a short nap might be a more effective solution.
E. Moreover, studies show such short naps do not harm nighttime sleep quality.
F. Taking longer naps on a regular basis could even have negative health effects.
G. Therefore, office workers should be encouraged to take naps during lunch breaks.

The Wind Phone
Every morning Mario visited his neighbor, Mr. Harper. Together they sat at the edge of his garden on the hill, looking down at the port. They made a game of spotting Mario’s dad as he unloaded the morning catch, and Mr. Harper’s daughter, Fiona, as she cleaned the fish one after another. “I see them!” Mario would say. Mr. Harper would laugh. “You win again, Mario.” It was their favorite game.
Mario’s dad loved the ocean. He’d say, “Listen, Mario, the ocean is saying good morning.” The lapping waves would whisper: O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario always returned the greeting, “Good morning, ocean.” But on the day the big wave came, the ocean didn’t whisper. It roared (咆哮). A big, watery hand swept into the port, grabbing everything — and everyone — in its grasp. Everyone lost someone that day. It took Mario’s dad, Fiona, and it even took Mario’s voice. Silence hung over the village like a dark, heavy cloud.
Spring came. Here and there stood peach-trees that broke into delicate flowers of pink. One day: Tap-tap-tap. Bang-bang-bang. Mario watched from his window. Mr. Harper was building something in his garden. But what It was a phone booth (电话亭), painted white and with many panes (窗格) of glass. Mr. Harper went inside and his voice floated out. “Fiona It’s your father. I miss you.” Mario was confused. Fiona was dead, just like Mario’s dad. When Mr. Harper left, Mario crept inside. An old-fashioned phone sat on a table. No plugs, no wires. It was a phone connected to nowhere.
Mr. Harper visited his phone booth every day. Soon other villagers did too. They lifted the receiver to their ears and their voices floated on the wind. “Hello, cousin. Today I fixed the boat. I’ll fish again soon.” “Sister, how are you I rode your bike today. It fits me now.”

答案】Dear Chris,
How are you doing I’m writing to share my elective course — Emotion Management.
The course covers stress relief, mood regulation and conflict resolution. What makes it special is its interactive approach: we learn through role-plays, group discussions and case studies rather than lectures alone. I’ve found it incredibly practical. Last week, I used breathing techniques from class to calm down before an exam, and it worked! It not only helps me handle daily pressure but also improves my relationships with classmates.
Have you taken any interesting courses lately Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】For the first time since the big wave came, Mario wanted to use his voice. He pushed the glass door open and stepped inside. The old-fashioned phone sat waiting, its black receiver smooth and cool. Mario lifted it with trembling hands. “Dad ” His voice cracked, barely a whisper. “It’s me. Mario.” Tears streamed down his cheeks as words poured out — about school, about missing him, about the silence that had swallowed everything. “I can’t hear the ocean say good morning anymore,” he sobbed. But as he spoke, the weight in his chest began to lift. The wind carried his words away, and somehow, that felt like enough.
As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port. The old man stood alone, gazing at the water. Mario walked down the hill and stood beside him. Mr. Harper turned, his eyes softening. “You used the phone,” he said. It wasn’t a question. Mario nodded. They stood in comfortable silence, watching the waves lap gently against the boats. Then Mario took a deep breath. “Good morning, ocean,” he whispered. The waves whispered back: O-mor-ning. And for the first time in a long while, Mario almost smiled.
