People often lose touch with their childhood friends, yet the memories remain fresh. In the UK, two childhood sweethearts from the 1930s reunited (团聚) after 85 years. Jim Dougal was fortunate to have his son Alistair researching the family tree when an old class photo caught his attention.
Dougal was born in Eyemouth in 1928 and studied at the Eyemouth Primary. There, he met his childhood friend, Betty Davidson, with whom he used to walk hand-in-hand on his way to school. But they lost touch in 1939.
Observing the class photo taken in 1936, Alistair recognized his father, about 8 years old at the time, and Davidson, his father’s childhood friend, among the rest 30 children in the photo. Alistair started to trace (追溯) all the people in the photo and uncover interesting facts about them.
Alistair relied on his father’s surprising long-term memory to trace all the people in the photo. He eventually found out that Dougal and Davidson were the last ones standing. “I was almost certain I had traced her to North Yorkshire a few years back,” Alistair said, speaking of finding Davidson.
Determined to trace his father’s best friend, Alistair posted a copy of the class photo on the Internet for help. Luckily, Davidson’s niece responded (回复) to the post saying, “That’s my aunt Davidson and, yes, she is alive and well, and in North Yorkshire.” Without hesitation, Alistair wrote to Davidson and he received a call from her very soon. “She also sent me a photo she had, after all those years, of her and my father together, along with her sister, taken in about 1936,” Alistair noted.
Dougal and Davidson met up in North Yorkshire, where Davidson lives near the Northallerton region. Though he and his family live in Essex, Dougal did not mind traveling to his friend’s town and expected to meet her soon. Dougal and Davidson recreated a childhood photo. “They look as happy and comfortable together as they did so many years ago,” Alistair shared.

With warm water, the good smell of shampoo, conditioner, and soaps, and quiet moments of reflection, showering time is the perfect way to relax. But what if you could make the experience more comfortable A popular social media trend (潮流) called“dark showering” is doing just that. It shows the simple act of changing your lights can make a difference when it comes to calming down.
Dark showering simply means taking a shower without strong lighting — usually with the lights off or dimmed (昏暗). Nidhi Pandya, a doctor, says, “The absence of bright light helps soften the body’s stress response and tells the body to relax.”
To try the trend, dim the lights in your bathroom to a point that makes you feel relaxed, and make sure you still see and can enter the shower safely. Dr. Daniel Amen, a psychiatrist, recommends easing into the experience. Begin by softening the lights one hour or up to 90 minutes before bedtime. To add to the experience, enjoy simple comforts like body oil. The experience doesn’t have to last a long time — even 15 to 20 minutes can be beneficial.
Dimming the lights has the power to lower stress, because showering in the dark lowers visual stimulation (视觉刺激), which calms down the nervous system. A dark shower before bed can also help you sleep. The rise and fall of body temperature due to a warm shower before bed has been contributing to the production of melatonin, which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety. A less stimulating environment due to the darkness strengthens this benefit even more. “The experience can also turn a negative mindset into a calmer state. Even a short dark shower may leave people feeling refreshed mentally,” says Dr. Mazer, a psychologist.
So dim the lights, light a candle, and play relaxing music — then enjoy your shower.
28. Why does the author raise a question in the first paragraph
A．To doubt a popular online experience.
B．To lead in the topic of “dark showering”.
C．To fire readers’ interest in social media.
D．To point out the problem with showering.
29. What are you advised to do while trying dark showering
A．Spend more than 20 minutes.
B．Avoid using body oil.
C．Ensure your safety.
D．Keep lighting as dim as possible.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Benefits of dark showering.
B．Tips on changing lighting.
C．Rules for relaxing showers.
D．Types of daytime sleep.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To introduce a traditional lifestyle.
B．To explore health issues.
C．To compare ways to calm down.
D．To recommend a trend.

As North America fights increasingly worrying wildfire seasons, one team of U. S. researchers is suggesting something among the lowest of low- technology strategies: To let beavers — animals that are good at building dams (大坝) — do their work.
In a study published on Monday, environmental scientists at Stanford University and the University of Minnesota collected photos across a vast area of the western United States and Canada and researched more than1,000 beaver ponds (水塘).“Beavers are naturally doing a lot of the things that humans try to do to manage rivers,” said study co- author Kate Maher. “Humans build something, leave it there, and hope it lasts for many years. Beavers, on the other hand, build small dams where they’ re needed and flexibly manage what’s going on with the water in their environment.”
By building dams across rivers, beavers create ponds of cool water throughout forested areas, contributing to local biodiversity, and improving water quality and reducing the spread of wildfires. More importantly, beaver ponds help create what forestry experts call “fire refugia”, or some areas that remain untouched even when the surroundings burn.
In one 2020 study, researchers found that areas without beavers lost three times as much vegetation (植被) during wildfires as those with lots of dams, on average. “When there is a fire, our data suggests that the beaver-dammed areas that have stored water can keep plants ‘wet’ enough to make them energetically unfavorable to burn,” the study reads.
Due to hunting, habitat loss, and disease, North American beaver populations have plummeted to between 10 and15 million in the modern day from highs in the hundreds of millions. Most recently, though, efforts to protect beavers have set the stage for a recovery. “North American beavers are making a comeback— and bringing benefits for both humans and nature with them,” the Monday release reads.
32. What does Kate Maher say about beavers
A．They build dams based on the environment.
B．They prefer buildings that last for many years.
C．They will leave the ponds after completing them.
D．They are unlikely to adapt to what’s around them.
33. What can be known about “fire refugia”
A．They are short of water.
B．They are unwanted areas.
C．They make plants easily burn.
D．They may survive wildfires.
34. What does the underlined word “plummeted” in the last paragraph mean
A．Referred.
B．Improved.
C．Dropped.
D．Recovered.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Wildfire Seasons Become Worrying
B．Beavers Could Help Fight Wildfires
C．Beaver Ponds Are Common in Forests
D．Animal Firefighters Are in Great Danger

67. 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。
My grandpa was a master baker in Newton, Kansas. He never wasted anything in his shop. He would bring me various cookies once or twice a week. They were the cookies he couldn’t sell because they were broken.
It wasn’t until I started kindergarten that I learned that cookies were supposed to be round and whole, not broken into little squares or triangles.
After I made this troubling discovery, I asked Grandpa why he gave me broken cookies.
He said, “Grandson, you’re sure to meet a lot of broken things in your life, such as broken promises, broken hearts and so on. But here’s the thing: something is only broken if you choose to see it that way.”
I tried to remember Grandpa’s words. But as the years passed, his advice faded away (逐渐消失), waiting to speak to me at just the right moment.
And that moment arrived many years later.
My wife and I decided to move into a new house. It was December, and, against the advice of my wife, I had decided we would move everything ourselves. After a busy day, our new house was full. Suddenly my wife said, “Tomorrow is Christmas. We forgot to get a Christmas tree.”
So, we set out, on Christmas Eve, to find a Christmas tree. Of course there weren’t any. But at our last stop at a local shop, a salesperson directed us to the dumpster(垃圾大铁桶) out back, which was full of Christmas leftovers, suggesting that we might find one there. We made our way to the dumpster, and my wife, ever the adventurous type, climbed up the side.

Then she said excitedly, “There’s a living Christmas tree in here — upside down!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In our moment of disappointment, I suddenly remembered Grandpa’s words. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Then she said excitedly, “There’s a living Christmas tree in here — upside down!” I hurried forward to take a look and saw a tall pine tree covered with a little snow. However, its roots were exposed and its branches were slightly broken, looking quite shabby. No wonder it was thrown away. We pulled it out carefully and cleaned up the dirt on it. Though it looked imperfect, it was still a fresh and lively tree. We carried it home happily, ignoring its broken parts.
In our moment of disappointment, I suddenly remembered Grandpa’s words. I smiled and told my wife what Grandpa had taught me. Nothing is totally broken unless we consider it so. We trimmed the broken branches and placed the tree in a pot. We hung colorful lights and small gifts on it. Finally, the tree looked warm and beautiful. It turned out that the imperfect tree brought us a most special and unforgettable Christmas. I realized that life’s so-called imperfections can also create unique beauty.
