In August 2005，I left my quiet coastal hometown in Maine for Chicago，a big city famous for its skyscrapers and lively cultural scene.My hometown had only one small bookstore and no art galleries，so the endless concerts，museums and restaurants in Chicago seemed like a dream come true.As a college freshman，I was excited to embrace the city's energy — yet I often found myself longing for the sound of waves crashing and the smell of salt in the air.
Years went by，and I built a fulfilling life in Chicago：I graduated，got a job I loved，and made lifelong friends.Still，a soft nostalgia （乡愁） for Maine lingered，and I soon realized that "home" isn't defined by the number of attractions a place has，but by the sense of comfort and belonging it brings.It's the way the light falls on the ocean at sunset，the taste of my mom's seafood chowder，and the familiarity of bumping into neighbors on the street.
"Homesickness often arises when we're missing the emotional comfort of a familiar environment，not just the place itself，" says Dr.Lisa Carter，a psychologist who specializes in human attachment. "We don't just miss a location — we miss the routines，the relationships，and the sense of safety that location provided.For some，this comfort can be recreated in a new place；for others，it remains a unique part of their past."
Although the nostalgia for Maine has never truly faded，even after years of happy life in Chicago，there are simple ways to ease this kind of longing.Creating small，familiar rituals in your new life — like baking your hometown's favorite cookies every Sunday or taking a walk in a nearby park at the same time each evening — can help build a new sense of stability.These little acts don't erase the memories of home；instead，they weave those memories into the fabric of your present life.
I'm fortunate to have a good foundation in Chicago，with a loving family，supportive friends and a comfortable home，but however much I love my life in Chicago，there's a part of me that will forever belong to Maine.
7.Why did the author move to Chicago？______
A. To pursue her college education there.
B. To take up a new job in the city center.
C. To enjoy the various attractions it offered.
D. To escape the boredom of her small hometown.
8.What does Dr.Lisa Carter think nostalgia mainly comes from？______
A. The loss of important relationships from the past.
B. The difficulty in creating new routines in daily life.
C. The disappointment with the new place's environment.
D. The lack of familiar emotional comfort in a new place.

A. The methods of relieving nostalgic feelings.
B. The significance of holding on to past memories.
C. The permanence of the author's nostalgia for Maine.
D. The necessity of physical places for establishing a safe zone.

Parrots are known for being cheerful and colorful birds with a chatty side.To spotlight these beautiful birds，Nayan Shrimal and Venus Bird from The Paper Ark have launched The Parrot Project，in which they create lifelike paper portraits（肖像） in their likeness for a good cause.
"This series is a respect to these amazing birds and their contribution to our ecosystem，"the artists said.To them，parrots are not only beautiful birds that have inspired them creatively but also a species that has long been subjected to exploitation."Many parrot species are threatened and some are near to extinction，"Shrimal and Bird explained."They are suffering a lot due to deforestation and pet trade and we wanted to shine light on the importance of these species in our ecosystem through our art."
To create these realistic pieces，they begin by picking a species from their collection of bird books.Once they settle on a parrot，they carry out some online research to get all the information needed for a faithful description."Each species is created keeping in mind their habitat so each artwork in this series shows the bird perching（栖息） on the tree or plant which is either their favorite plant or their perching tree，"the artists share.
Each bird is made up of tiny paper bits，put together following a drawing previously made by the team.They also carefully paint each piece to truly capture the details that make the species so unique，such as the yellow spots on the head of the red-tailed black cockatoo or the ombre（渐变色） feathers of the Scarlet Macaw.
The detailed portraits are now available for sale on The Paper Ark's website，with the artists donating 10% from each sale towards parrot conservation."Our primary purpose with this series is to motivate people to learn about these beautiful birds and their importance in our ecosystem and the threats they are facing，"Shrimal and Bird explain."We want our audience to come together and take steps to conserve this species."
11.What motivated Nayan Shrimal and Venus Bird to initiate The Parrot Project？ ______
A. The overpopulation of certain parrot species.
B. The threats of human activities to the parrots.
C. Their personal fascination with parrots as pets.
D. The requirement of an environmental organization.
12.How do the artists ensure their paper parrots true to life？ ______
A. By using high-tech to create the models.
B. By using real feathers in their artworks.
C. By using photographs as a direct reference.
D. By researching all details about the species.
13.Why are there specific trees or plants in the parrot portraits？ ______
A. To add artistic value to the portraits.
B. To identify the parrot species easily.
C. To show the bird in its natural habitat.
D. To make the artworks more complicated.
14.What can The Parrot Project help do according to the text？ ______
A. To ban the pet trade of parrots.
B. To connect people with animals.
C. To research different species of parrots.

Many organizations learned in the past year that remote work can be highly effective，with 83% of employers surveyed saying that the shift to remote work has been successful for their company，according to a PwC study.In addition，54% of workers want to continue working remotely after the pandemic.Now that it's clear where the work is done is not as important as people once thought，the other dimension of flexibility workers fever is the freedom to determine when the work is done.A 2019 study by the International Workplace Group found that 80% of workers would turn down a job that did not offer a flexible work schedule，and 76% of workers said they'd consider staying at their current employer if they could work flexible hours.
According to a Microsoft Work Trend Report，the 9-to-5 workday is disappearing，as the increase in remote work has allowed for more flexible hours.Employees are increasingly working asynchronously，completing tasks on their own schedules，which may be different from those of their colleagues.Asynchronous work is now essential to being part of a modern，digital economy，staying competitive in the war for talent，and building a globally distributed workforce.
Tsedal Neeley，a Harvard Business School professor，told me，"Companies have to rethink what it means to be part of a modern work structure.This idea of 9-to-5 or face-time culture is actually not helpful for a digitally advanced economy." She highlighted that the face-time culture is the need to monitor or see people in order to feel like work is advancing.However，this assumption that being productive requires seeing people do the work is not only limiting，but also unreasonable，as technology and automation are increasingly used to get work done and are not as observable as before.Asynchronous work，she says，is "a completely new mindset in line with a digital economy."
15.What do the statistics in Para.1 suggest？ ______
A. The effects of remote work.
B. The importance of flexible work.
C. The popularity of working alone.
D. The preference for flexible working style.
16.What does the underlined word "asynchronously" in Para.2 mean？ ______
A. Not at the same time. B. Without much creativity.
C. For different purposes. D. Under unfavorable circumstances.
17.What attitude did Tsedal Neeley have towards 9-to-5 culture？ ______
A. Critical. B. Neutral. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.
18.Which can be a suitable title for the text？ ______
A. Adjusting to "9-to-5" culture
B. The change of digital economy
C. The assumption of digital economy
D. Breaking free from "9-to-5" culture

Green exercise is a term used to describe any type of physical exercise that takes place in a natural environment rather than in a health club or gym. (19) . Instead, it relies on the use of natural means of taking part in activities that improve strength and endurance with as little reliance on equipment as possible.
(20) . For example, some consider a truly natural exercise experience requires that the individual wear clothing only made from natural fibers. Others consider barefoot running or walking with a big arena to be more desirable than running or walking with shoes.
A slightly different approach to green exercise puts more stress on the fresh air, sunshine and involvement with the natural world, rather than the equipment or clothing used during the exercise. (21) . Similarly, climbing a mountain using standard equipment and protective clothing would also be considered a green exercise.
Many consider green exercise helps to reconnect human beings with the natural world. The interaction with nature helps to lower people's blood pressure, refresh their mind, and actually improve their self-esteem. (22) .
Not everyone believes that the green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym. (23) . Meanwhile, the use of fitness devices may result in more challenging workouts which help strengthen the heart and lungs in ways that more simplistic exercise in a natural setting would be difficult to manage.
A. A green gym uses as little equipment as possible
B. Spirits are also believed to be positively affected
C. Opinions on what truly green exercise means differ
D. Green exercise includes a range of activities exposed to nature
E. So riding a bicycle in the forest can be called a type of green exercise
F. It usually doesn't use fitness equipment that is normally found in a gym
G. Some point out that many health clubs are built to make full use of natural light
19.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
20.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
