As the morning school bell rings and students rush in，teenagers in one classroom settle onto mats and meditation (冥想)pillows. They fall silent after the teacher taps a “singing bowl”.
These students are in a for-credit，year-long mindfulness class，which is meant to ease youth anxiety and depression and to prevent violence. For 90 minutes , three days a week , they practice a mix of yoga, sitting, and walking meditation, deep breathing, journaling, and non--judgmental listening.
Yoga and meditation have gained popularity among Americans in recent decades，supported by studies showing benefits to emotional, mental, and physical health. The centuries-old practices have roots in eastern religions, but Western culture has long focused on physical postures (姿势)，breathing, and relaxation techniques.
Some people have greeted the move with less than enthusiasm. Last year, an elementary school in Ohio ended its mindfulness program after parents complained it was too closely linked to religion. But many school districts are reporting success. In Richmond, California, schools have reported drops in school problems among low-income, at-risk youths. The school district in South Burlington, Vermont, introduced a successful mindfulness course as part of a health and wellness program, and now administrators there have advocated mindfulness into K-12 curriculums.
Two years ago, Caverly Morgan developed the after-school mindfulness program teamed up with Allyson Copacino，who teaches yoga. After hundreds of students signed up，Principal Brian Chatard took note. The school was dealing with a student’s suicide (自杀），and few resources were available to address students’ emotional and mental health.
“High school is the hardest period of time for kids,” Mr. Chatard said. “You’ve got emotional changes, physical changes, and all the social pressures. It’s also the onset of mental illness for some kids, depression hits, and there’s the pressure of college and sports. All these things kids do is overwhelming without having a strategy (策略）to deal with it. ” And now schools all over the country are introducing the practices.
24. What do Western people value more about yoga and meditation?
A. Non-judgmental listening. B. Religious meaning.
C. Physical benefits. D. Journaling.
25. What can we infer about the mindfulness class?
A. It is supported by parents.
B. It relives pressure of students.
C.It mainly builds students up physically.
D.It improves students’ academic performance.
26. Who started the mindfulness class?
A. Administrators. B. Brian Chatard. C. Caverly Morgan. D.Allyson Copacino.
27. What is Mr. Chatard’s attitude towards the program?
A. Supportive. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Reserved.
C
As the days get shorter and the chilly weather rolls in, we all want to curl up in a blanket and hibernate（避寒）until spring rolls around. But making time to get outside in the sun, even when it’s cold out, could have bigger mental benefits than you might realize.
While the link between sunshine and mental health is nothing new, new research from Brigham Young University （BYU） has shown that the association may be even stronger than previously realized. It finds that sunlight exposure is by far the greatest weather-related factor determining mental health outcomes. In other words: more sunshine, more happiness.
For the study, a psychologist, a physicist and a statistician from BYU teamed up to compare daily environmental data from the university’s Physics and Astronomy Weather Station with emotional health data archived（存档）by day for 16,452 adult therapy patients who were being treated at the BYU Counseling and Psychological Services Center.
Exposure to sunlight is a significant factor in seasonal affective disorder. Research has shown that the brain produces more of the feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin on sunny days than it does on darker days. What’s more, lack of sunlight is linked with lower vitamin D levels, which in turn has been related to depression and low energy.
If you’re getting enough sunlight, your emotions should remain relatively stable, the researchers found. But as the amount of sunlight in the day is reduced, levels of emotional pain can soar. Other weather variables including temperature, pollution and rain were not found to have an impact on mental health.
“We were surprised that many of the weather and pollution variables we included in the study were not significantly related to clients’ scores on the emotional pain measure once we had accounted for suntime,” said Dr. Mark Beecher, a professor of psychology at the university and the study’s lead author. “People tend to associate rainy days, pollution, and other meteorological phenomena with sadness or depression, but we did not find that.”
28. What does the author suggest we do in the first paragraph?
A. Realize the benefits of sunshine.
B. Avoid hibernating in springtime.
C. Curl up in a blanket in cold weather.
D. Enjoy sunshine even in cold weather.
29. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “soar” in Paragraph 5 ?
A. rise sharply B. remain the same
C. drop slightly D. change greatly
30. What does the text say about the research done by BYU?
A. It is done on normal adults of various ages.
B. It is carried out by Dr. Mark Beecher alone.
C. It concludes that sunshine largely affects happiness.
D. It finds that temperature is strongly related to mental health.
31. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Lower vitamin D levels are helpful in keeping us energetic.
B. Some research findings are inconsistent with the popular belief.
C. The more sunshine we get, the more excited we are likely to feel.
D. The link between sunshine and mental health was unknown before.
D
Scientists in Britain have managed to teach bumblebees (大黄蜂) to pull strings to get to food and then pass on what they have learned to others in their colony (群体）---- showing a high level of intelligence despite their tiny brains.
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London said the experiments，often used to test the intelligence of apes (猿)and birds，showed for the first time that some insects are up to the task，and can also pass skills on through several generations.
The findings add to the evidence suggesting the ability for “culture spread” --- the ability to learn and pass on knowledge and skills --- may not be exclusive to humans.
In the research, published in the journal PLOS Biology on Tuesday, the scientists were able to train 23 out of a group of 40 bees to pull strings with their legs and feet.
The strings were attached to discs --- or artificial “flowers” --- containing food at their center but placed under a transparent screen. The bees, spotting the food beneath the screen, learned to pull the “flowers” out by pulling the string with their legs and feet to be able to get to it.
From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training, only two of 110 were successful.
Another group of bees was then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings，and 60 percent of them successfully learned the skill. Finally，trained bees were put in colonies，and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a majority of the colony’s worker bees.
Lars Chittka, a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project, said the team is interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees’ learning and teaching skills.
32. What does the underlined word “exclusive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Ordinary. B. Unique. C. Beneficial. D. Widespread.
33. What did the researchers find about bees?
A. Bees learn best in insects. B. Bees are as clever as birds.
C. Bees are bom good learners. D. Bees can be trained to learn skills.
34. What may the research team focus on next?
A. What else bees can do. B. Where bees learn skills.
C. How bees teach others. D. How bees’ brains work.
35. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Small bees, great abilities B. Bees can learn and teach
C. Bees are smarter D. Let bees learn

How to be more creative every day
Creativity isn’t something you either have or don’t have. In fact, it is something like playing the saxophone. 36 So read on to know how.
♦ Be more curious.
It’s important to seek out new viewpoints every day. 37 To involve this in your daily life, make sure to keep an open mind when you ’ re presented with an idea，and be curious as to what else is around the comer.
♦Give yourself space.
Letting every piece of information into your brain drags you from being creative. Try to apply a level of space into your everyday life. 38 It helps to lead your thinking patterns away from potential distractions (分心的事物），leaving much room to have creative ideas.
♦Try something new.
Frequent thinking patterns, in effect，cause you to be more likely to think the same things or make the same decisions over and over unless you get out of your comfort zone. 39 Though not always easy，it does open up a whole new world of thinking!
♦ 40
Social media has created an environment where we ’ re constantly shown whether we’ ve succeeded in the form of likes or comments, which leads us to doubt ourselves. However, creativity is a journey, and you’ re learning every step of the way. Honestly, you’ ll learn much more from that than a straight win anyway. So be confident and tell yourself you have already done well enough.
A. Learn from failure.
B. Remind yourself you are good enough.
C. The 8 p. m. --- 8 a. m. phone ban is a great way to begin.
D. Getting physical really helps to sort out your brain space.
E. But it’s not easy to feel or be automatically creative either.
F. Thus you can think and approach things from another angle.
G. Using your skills in a different area is a great way to think outside the box.

Dear Joan,
I’m glad that you like the gift I bought you online the other day. Meanwhile I’m sorry to know that one of the china tea-cups is broken. But take it easy. The shop owner online has promised to send another one on condition that he is convinced that the cup was broken on the way. So I’d like you to take a photo of the broken cup and send it to me. I’ll show the shop owner what has happened to the cup with the photo as evidence. I’m sure he’ll send you another cup of the same colour and size. What you’ll have to do now is to wait for a few days until the new cup arrives.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
