Strong social ties are often linked to better health, and new research adds a brain benefit to that list. A study led by researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and University of Massachusetts Boston reports that regularly helping people can clearly slow the drop in cognitive (认知的) ability in middle-aged and older adults.
The research followed more than 30,000 US adults for 20 years. It found that those who often helped others — either through organized help or everyday acts — experienced a 15%-20% slower rate of age-related decline in cognitive ability. The most significant benefits were tied to spending about two to four hours per week helping others.
“Everyday acts of support can have a lasting effect on the mind,” Sae Hwang Han, an assistant professor of human development and family sciences at UT who led the study, noted, “The benefits weren’t just short-term but built up over time, and were seen for both organized and everyday help.”
The study is among the first to compare organized help with everyday help, which includes tasks like giving rides, looking after children, or helping with housework. “It was a pleasant surprise to find that everyday help offers benefits for the mind that are as good as organized help,” said Han, challenging the idea that it offers fewer benefits due to lack of public recognition.
The researchers looked at national data, taking into account factors like wealth, health, and education. Even after adjusting for these, the decline in cognitive ability tended to slow when people began and kept up helping behaviors. The benefits appeared to grow when helping became a steady, yearly habit.
Overall, helping others may support brain health by mitigating mental stress and strengthening social bonds that provide emotional support. As populations age, the findings highlight the importance of creating chances for people to give help, which may be especially useful for those already facing a drop in cognitive ability.
4. What do the findings suggest for the seniors
A. They need more professional medical care. B. Helping others may benefit their brain health.
C. They should turn to others for more daily help. D. Strong social ties improve their quality of life.
5. What is Han’s attitude towards everyday help
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Critical.
6. Why did the researchers consider other factors
A. To increase the sample size. B. To make the study more reliable.
C. To stress the importance of social ties. D. To record different levels of education.
7. What does the underlined word “mitigating” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Causing. B. Standing. C. Reducing. D. Experiencing.
C
In the late 1980s, Stephanie Garber was driving through downtown Silver Spring, MD, when a large pickup truck hit her car. She wasn’t injured, but the other driver was annoyed, claiming the accident was Garber’s fault. And her car was completely destroyed.
Garber stood on the sidewalk, waiting for rescue to arrive. As she watched her car blocking traffic in the middle of the morning rush hour, Garber couldn’t help crying. “I was standing there. I was anxious and nervous. And I felt guilty about keeping the traffic stopped,” Garber said. “So, I really was not myself.” All of a sudden, a professionally dressed woman approached her. The woman appeared to be on her way to work and she was holding a cup of hot tea from the nearby coffee shop.
Garber recalled, “She handed it to me and said, ‘Maybe this will help.’ And when I looked at her, I just felt such kindness coming my way at a time when I needed it.” They smiled at each other and Garber thought she told the woman thank you, though she’s not sure. Then the woman went on her way. Garber recalled drinking the entire cup of tea. “Actually, I’ve never liked tea at all,” she said. “But I drank every drop and I felt her sympathy coming through with each swallow.”
The next morning, during rush hour, Garber drove a rental car back to the same spot downtown, hoping to find the woman and thank her again. But the woman wasn’t there. Garber held on to the small tag (标签) from the tea bag for about 15 years as a way to remember the woman’s act of generosity.
“I still remember it. I tell all my friends I never forget the kindness,” Garber said. “And this might have seemed like a very small kindness, but it meant a lot.”
8. What was the result of the accident for Garber
A. She caused traffic jams on purpose.
B. She paid for the other driver’s loss.
C. She escaped unhurt but lost her car.
D. She was fined by the police officer.
9. Why did Garber cry after the accident
A. She felt upset and ashamed.
B. Passers-by treated her rudely.
C. The rescue didn’t arrive in time.
D. She got badly frightened.
10. Why did Garber keep the tea bag tag for 15 years
A. To remind herself to drink more tea.
B. To treasure an unexpected kindness.
C. To prove the power of small kindnesses.
D. To look for the woman and return it to her.
11. What message does the text mainly want to convey
A. Accidents always bring pain.
B. Drinking tea can ease anxiety.
C. Tiny acts of care go a long way.
D. People in trouble desire material help.
D
In 1947, a group of famous people from the art world decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to seek a stage for artists.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts about 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (the Fringe) appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947, believing that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house that had been disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from the University of Edinburgh, and later from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform plays by little known writers in small halls.
Today the Fringe, once less embraced, has far outgrown the festival with around 1500 performances of music, dance and theatre on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are 8 administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004, there were 200 places housing 1695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
12. What was the original idea behind the Edinburgh Art Festival
A. To provide a platform for artists to perform.
B. To have a yearly gathering of famous artists.
C. To challenge the established festivals.
D. To focus on big symphony orchestras.
13. How did the Edinburgh Festival Fringe start
A. As the local government’s cultural policy.
B. With permission from the official festival.
C. As an invitation for students from Universities.
D. With 8 theatre groups performing uninvited.
14. What does the underlined word “embraced” mean in paragraph 5
A. investigated. B. allowed.
C. accepted. D. controlled.
15. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 6
A. To show administrators are busy in August.
B. To show the festival has grown rapidly.
C. To prove the tickets for the festival sell well.
D. To prove different groups have come to the festival.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Each afternoon, I walked to Nakivale Lake, searching for peace in a difficult life. I passed children playing in the red dirt, worrying about their future. Would they end up like so many other children in this community who, without hope, gave up learning and drank alcohol I gave a silent prayer for something better for their lives and mine.
By the quiet lake with my guitar, I found my only comfort. Playing music helped me turn my sad memories into songs. I recalled my past days living in my homeland. Before I was forced to flee (逃离), I performed music professionally, wrote songs, and made appearances on Vand radio. I also worked in visual arts, painting, and creating crafts. I wasn’t a big famous artist, but I was on the way to becoming one. Now I found it difficult to adapt to this new life. I needed to find a way to pass the days doing something productive.
Then, an idea struck me. I had no money for art supplies, so I began collecting empty plastic bottles from around the lake. I used them to build a small boat that could float. This piece of art, made from trash, was my gift to the lake that helped me. I received much praise and compliments. For the first time in months, I felt hopeful, confident, and productive again. Then, I remembered the faces of children playing in the dirt, who, I wanted to give the same feeling I had.
That spark of hope led to the birth of “Art for Positive Change”. I taught young people in the community how to make art and useful things from old plastic bottles. They learned to channel their frustrations into creativity, their hands busy shaping art while cleaning their environment. Witnessing their transformation filled me with profound purpose. I expanded the program, establishing art and music classes for them. I believed art could help them grow, feel proud, and express themselves. It felt like a new beginning. Our songs, like “Our Youth Our Future”, even reached a big peace concert in the city. It was an incredible honor. However, as our program grew, so did the challenges.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

【答案】【参考范文】
Some elders in the community began to question me. One sharply asked why I filled children’s heads with art instead of survival skills, and another whispered I sought personal fame. My confidence shook. I invited the most doubtful to visit. They saw Samuel, once shy, confidently describing his sculpture, and noticed Maria weaving a basket while softly singing a song from home. The questioning elders fell silent. The doubt lifted — not by my words, but by the clear sense of purpose shining in the children’s faces.
Now, children from many countries come to our classes. They first connect through shared creation, not words. My first plastic-bottle boat stands as a quiet teacher. The program’s true strength lies in the children’s own transformation. I am no longer just a teacher, but a listener, helper, and witness. Looking at the lake, I see a powerful picture of strength: a generation that lost its home is growing anew, by turning life into art, creating something beautiful and strong.
