Without particular4 in mind, I found myself in the office of a middle-aged woman, surrounded by Chinese herbal medicines.

13、Tips on How to Be a Successful Student
Being a student is not easy. With a new identity, different duties appear. In order to live a meaningful and successful life, it is necessary to develop the right habits that help simplify learning and mastering the profession.
Increase Your Self-Esteem
Do you think that scientists know everything and therefore easily deal with any problems? Every day some changes take place in the world. Experts rely on their own knowledge and experience in solving any problem, regardless of its complexity. Imagine yourself a world-class pro who is faced with a certain obstacle. What would you do in his place? Such role-playing games can increase your self-esteem.
When solving any task, connect all your abilities and feelings. Do not be shy of emotions. In this way you activate the maximum number of cells and muscles, attract the body to work to the maximum. The more feelings and possibilities you connect, the easier it will be to solve the problem. The brain will not only receive information from everywhere but also correctly process, record and use it.
Be Active
All students can be divided into active and passive. Passive prefer to simply go with the flow. Active people try not only to prepare for each class but also to understand it, fight for self-development. This feature allows not only to quickly grasp new things and adapt but also to skillfully use the knowledge gained.
Set a Clear Goal
Studying at the university, a student must understand why he or she needs it. For this, it is important to set a specific, understandable goal. The goal may be short or long term. After it is achieved, set a new goal and go for it. It all depends on the desire of the student.
Learn from mistakes

14、The internet provides access to a large amount of information. However, you might notice that the same ideas or views frequently reappear on certain social media platforms. If this happens, be cautious. You may be in what's called an information cocoon (信息茧房) — a space where only similar opinions spread.
This phenomenon, which has existed since the early eras of human culture, has been significantly enlarged by the widespread use of social media. Imagine ancient people gathered around a bonfire, sharing only stories and experiences that reinforced their collective worldview. Today, the internet serves as the modern "bonfire", with social media platforms connecting people globally and enabling the sharing of thoughts and beliefs.
You might have noticed that social media advertising seems to "magically" understand your interests, presenting ads that are surprisingly related. This is the result of complex algorithms (算法) — sets of instructions designed to perform tasks or solve problems. Every time we click, like, or share something, we leave a digital footprint that helps algorithms better understand our interests, values and beliefs. Algorithms then use this information to provide content that meets our interests.
Although information cocoons can provide a sense of belonging, they also bring some negative effects. Engaging with others only within limited information space results in one-sided individual's viewpoint, making it hard for them to accept different views and discuss complex issues. Information cocoons can also contribute to increasing division and anxiety, which further divides societies. They make it unclear between facts and opinions. This weakness leaves us open to misinformation, influencing both personal decisions and social energy.
Fortunately, there are many ways to break out of the information cocoon. Actively seeking diverse information sources is very important for overcoming these limitations. This can involve diversifying (使多样化) our social media content, reading articles from various views, and joining meaningful discussions with people from different backgrounds. Besides, training critical thinking skills is essential. We should check facts and remain open to changing our beliefs.
(1)、The information cocoon is increasingly becoming large because ________.A、A great deal of information is provided. B、A growing number of people turn to social media. C、Various similar opinions spread in the information cocoon. D、Stories and experiences are usually shared in people's gatherings(2)、Why does the author mention "algorithms" in Paragraph 3?A、To analyze how social media impacts our preferences. B、To indicate how algorithms perform tasks or problems. C、To explain why we always read satisfying content on social media platforms. D、To show why algorithms are important in affecting our decisions and beliefs.(3)、Which of the following is the negative effect of information cocoons?A、A person sticking to his own opinion. B、A society filled with energy. C、A person willing to join in discussions. D、A society full of various views.(4)、What does the author advise us to do to get away from the information cocoon?A、Voice our own views openly. B、Develop critical thinking ability. C、Communicate with like-minded people. D、Search specific information sources. -
15、Exercise doesn't just help you lose fat. It could also promote healthier fat, according to a new study. "Living a physically active lifestyle makes our fat tissue (组织) a more accommodating place for extra energy under conditions when we do gain weight," said senior study author Dr. Jeffrey Horowitz, professor of movement studies at the University of Michigan.
To see how exercise impacts fat tissue, researchers compared fat tissue just under the skin from two groups of 16 people with obesity: those who reported exercising at least four times a week for at least 2 years, and those who did not exercise regularly. Those who had a history of regular exercise had fat cells which showed characteristics that increase how much fat they can store. It is important that the fat tissue under the skin has a greater capacity (容量) so that if a person does gain weight, the increasing fat can go there instead of more dangerous places, such as the heart or liver, Dr. Jeffrey added. "Unfortunately, most of us, even regular exercisers, gain weight as we get older. If we have a greater capacity to store that in our fat tissue, less of it will go to our liver, our heart, or other places that in excess (过量) can be really problematic."
This study shows that researchers need to learn more about fat tissue and how it is connected to health and lifestyle changes, said Dr. Andrew Freeman, director of cardiovascular prevention and wellness at National Jewish Health in Denver. "Just being overweight may not be the whole story," he said. "The tissue used to be understood as only functioning to store energy, but researchers are just starting to learn it has many functions," Freeman said. "It makes sense to have some degree of fat so you have some reserve, but not to the point that the typical American has," he added
The key finding of the study is that healthier fat storage is just another good reason to live a physically active life. If you want to start, Freeman suggests trying out exercise first thing in the morning.
(1)、Why did the researchers conduct the study according to the passage?A、To observe how fat issue impacts physical health. B、To examine the influence of exercise on fat tissue. C、To understand whether exercise can help us lose weight. D、To analyse the relationship between fat issue and exercise.(2)、What can we learn about the study?A、Regular exercise can help people store less fat and become fit. B、Regular exercisers are more likely to gain weight as they get old. C、Regular exercise causes increasing fat to go to places like heart or liver. D、Regular exercisers have a greater capacity to store fat in their fat issues.(3)、What may Dr. Andrew Freeman agree with according to the passage?A、A certain amount of fat is harmful to health. B、Further study is needed on the role of fat tissue. C、Weight control is the key to living a healthy lifestyle. D、Fat tissue has long been believed to perform more functions.(4)、Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A、Weight loss: promote a healthy life. B、Fat tissue: consume extra energy. C、Exercise: help you store fat better. D、Health risks: lead to overweight -
16、For many people, the idea of moving to France usually connects with dreams of romance or the land of Michelin stars and cafe culture-food. US woman Jane Satow found both. Not only that, but she has also found work teaching locals how to cook in France.
Satow 56, left her home two decades ago to start a new life in southern French region. Coming from a family of farmers with a passion for the kitchen, she had a background in catering (承办酒席) before making the move, and her love of food fueled her ambition of one day moving to the French region known for its special menus. "My first jobs were in restaurants and I finally worked for several fine dining restaurants, which inspired my passion for fine food, wine and cooking," she tells CNN.
Satow attended a cooking school in Colorado, where she completed a course in French techniques and joined a "weekly wine club." Eventually, Satow met her handsome French partner, Christophe Daumas, in 2019 at a salsa dance class and says he really "swept her off her feet" like in a fairytale. She credits Daumas with helping her pursue a long-held desire to share her knowledge of food with others. With the support and encouragement of Daumas, she started looking for a place to buy to create a dedicated space where she could offer cooking classes. But in 2019 it had to press pause on repairs and opening the school during the pandemic. Though disappointed, she used the time to develop fresh recipes and test old ones in her new kitchen.
Her business, La Cuisine Provencal, finally started in 2021. She says she now has customers from all over the world, mostly travelers coming to Provence for the first time, but also locals.
After struggling with the language, she says she now speaks fluent French. "I truly love my adopted country and even at the risk of remaining on my own, I am absolutely sure about staying put in France," she adds.

18、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。
Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind and caring, and always made people comfortable in her presence. For years she was a volunteer in our community. I love going to the local nursing home to help with her when I was a child. However, once I became a teenager, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was 12, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. But I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? At last, I made my way outside with my mother. Angry and annoyed, I climbed into the car and shoot the door loudly. I sat in silence, too upset to talk. "Tasha, do you know where we are going?" Mom asked calmly. I remained silent. "Sweetheart, we're going to the children's shelter. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you," she explained.
I feel a pain slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there?
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. As we approached the front door, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and flowers welcomed us. Maybe this wasn't going to be so.
Mom rang the doorbell. We were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was seriously wounded. Most of the children had noticeable physical scars such as cuts, burns and scratches. What a terrible life they must had had before they moved here! My heart sank. As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.
