What We Really Know About ASMR
If you spend time on YouTube or TikTok,you may have come across videos of someone whispering into a microphone,carefully slicing stacks of slime,or slowly ripping strips of paper.These videos are designed to trigger an autonomous sensory meridian(经络)response,or ASMR,a pleasant feeling that travels from the top of the head down the back of the neck to the upper spine.
Watching videos that trigger ASMR is thought to lead to positive responses throughout the body including enhanced mood,relaxation,and even pain relief.But can you really achieve these benefits just by watching a short video?A systematic review published seeks to answer that question.German researchers combined the data from 54 studies to better help us understand ASMR and its effects.
But first,where did this idea come from?There are references to feelings similar to ASMR in classic literature dating back to the early 1900s.The contemporary definitions of ASMR sprang from a discussion forum on a health-focused website in 2007.A YouTuber named Jennifer Allen coined the term in 2010.
Based on the previous studies,the researchers concluded that examples of triggers include whispering,tapping,and natural sounds,and it is important to note that specific triggers of ASMR and the intensity of the response vary widely by individuals.They also explored its benefits.Clear evidence shows that ASMR can reduce stress and anxiety.Data also shows that it can improve short-term memory.In specific cases,participants watching ASMR videos had lower heart rates and blood pressure,physical signals of relaxation.In addition,they found that ASMR triggers brain activity patterns associated with relaxation and stress relief.
Despite the encouraging results,the authors noted that many of the ASMR studies had small sample sizes and a lack of diversity among participants; more research is needed to truly understand the impacts of ASMR.
Luckily,it's true that watching sensory videos of people brushing their hair,whispering,and making soft repetitive noises can lead to relaxation and stress relief.The best thing about ASMR is that there are minimal side effects.So if you're feeling anxious or stressed,it might be worth watching a few minutes of ASMR videos to see if they help!
(1)、What is an autonomous sensory meridian response(ASMR)?(2)、According to the studies,what benefits can ASMR bring us?(3)、Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.>Although triggers of ASMR are different,they may cause reactions ofsimilar intensity among different people.
(4)、Besides watching ASMR videos,what else do you do when feeling anxious or stressed? -

What CameFirst,the Chicken or the Egg?
Chickens are one of the most economically important animals in the world today. ,Recent advancements in archaeological methodologies have unveiled that numerous bone discoveries,once believed to be evidence of early chíckens,actually belong to wild birds,
Now,in a new publication,an international team of archaeologists,historians, and biomolecular scientists present the earliest clear evidence for the raising of chickens for egg production.Using eggshell fragments collected from 12 archaeological sites covering roughly 1500 years,the researchers show that chickens were widely raised in Central Asia from approximately 400 BCE to 1000 CE and were likely spread along the ancient Silk Road. .It was this trait of productive egg laying,the researchers argue,that made the domestic chicken so attractive to ancient peoples
.They collected tens of thousands of eggshell fragments from sites located along the main Central Asian corridor of the Silk Road.They then used a method of biomolecular analysis called ZooMS to identify the source of the eggs. The identification of these shell fragments as chickens,and their abundance at each site,led the researchers to an important conclusion. .In the wild, this kind of bird nests once per year and typically lays six eggs per clutch(窝). This is the earliest evidence for the loss of seasonal egg laying yet identified in the archaeological record.Meanwhile,it is an important clue for better understanding the mutualistic(共生的)relationships between humans and animals that resulted in domestication
Taken together,the new study suggests an answer to the age-old riddle of the
chicken and the egg. .
A.To reach these conclusions,the team did a lot of work.
B.The abundance of eggshells further suggests that the birds were laying out of season.
C.Yet,the story of how they originated and spread throughout the ancient world remains largely unclear.
D.Research shows chickens were bred throughout southern Central Asia,and were spread along the ancient Silk Road.
E.The birds must have been laying more frequently than their wild ancestor,the red jungle fowl
F.They argue that the loss of seasonal egg laying was the main drive for the spread of domestic chickens across Eurasia and northeast Africa
G.As the evidence in Central Asia suggests,the ability to lay a large number of eggs is what made the chicken the chicken we know today,

threatens our very survival.,If the entire world reaches the levels of consumption seen in high-income countries today,we'll need multiple planet Earths to supply the resources,The absurd(荒谬的)idea of infinite growth within a finite territory is at the heart of our economic system.
To keep this machine running,formal education generates ever more efficient "human capital",Increasing productivity metrics(指标)rather than the individuality of students drives our civilization's approach to schooling our young people Whereas the Sustainable Development Goals call for turning education into a force for sustainability,the opposite is often true:The ways Western societies have come to think about education undermine our ability to deal with the environmental crisis.To get through this crisis,we need to cultivate our imagination,not undermine it.
Growing up,none of my schooling fostered my ability to imagine a world different from what I saw around me.Besides,I realize the suppression(抑制)of children's imagination doesn't take place only in underresourced communities,but in"elite"institutions that tout"critical thinking".Schools want to see their graduates succeed,and success is too often about maintaining current structures—not about reimagining their foundations.
Essentially,our education systems shape children in the image of artificial intelligence.The perfect"worker",AI,continually improves its own productivity but doesn't challenge the larger structures within which it operates.It is one of the great paradoxes of our time that we invest so much into building supercomputers while marginalizing the imaginative potential of millions of human brains.What's more, we even put our hope in solving the environmental crisis on AI.But AI,like our other technologies,can only treat the symptoms of the environmental crisis,not the causes
Throughout history,achievers of great change have relied on their imaginations to address fundamental flaws in society.In my country of birth,communists kept their dreams of democracy alive for decades by imagining different futures.In South Africa,Nelson Mandela's followers had to be radical(激进的)in their imagination to create a vision of a fairer society.Imagining democracy when living under a totalitarian regime(极权主义政权)isn't that different from imagining degrowth when living in a world of infinite growth,
The kind of intelligence that Nelson Mandela and such possessed was not artificial.The ability toreimagine the future and disrupt the current situation remains a distinctly human quality.Unlike AI,children are naturally imaginative and question the premises of society.In my research,I have observed that younger children are often the most radical in imagining different futures.
As long as our imagination is curtailed,ideas like degrowth sound utopian(乌托 邦 的 )to many,Cultivating imagination means learning from history's disrupters who made the impossible possible.Instead of dismissing"childish"ideas about the world's future,it means seeing inspiration in children's imaginations.In an education system that celebrates imagination,arts and creativity are as important as math and science.Idealism coexists with pragmatism.The environmental crisis is not a crisis of technology or science,it is a crisis ofimagination.If we let children be our guides,we might be able to imagine our way to survival.
(1)、The author hopes education can play its role in ____.A、developing human resources B、promoting sustainable development C、increasing productivity D、maximizing economic growth(2)、From the passage,we can learn that ____.A、imagination isn't well developed in schools B、AI helps exploit the potential of human brains C、graduates'success changes the social structures D、AI can address the root cause of economic crisis(3)、Nelson Mandela is mentioned as ____.A、a success in building a fair society B、a leader who had a great influence C、a pioneer possessing the quality ofAI D、an inspiration to solve social problems(4)、According to the passage,the author may agree that ____.A、children's imagination ensures human's survival B、the environmental crisis results from technology C、imagination can help solve environmental crisis D、the"childish"ideas will ruin the world's future -

The violence of shaking from an earthquake is usually focused in the direction the quake is traveling.But a boomerang quake may spread the intense shaking across a wider zone.The new study, published today in the journal Nature Geoscience,is a major step toward clearing up the complex physics behind boomerang quakes and understanding their potential damage.
The latest boomerang was recorded near the mid-ocean ridge in the Atlantic in 2016.By examining the position of the epicenter(震中)and the energy released by each shaking phase,Stephen Hicks,an earthquake seismologist at the Imperial College London and first author of the new study,identified what seemed to be two steps of the quake:The quake initially headed eastward,but then turned back west. "This was weird,"he says.This second leg of the quake moved remarkably quickly, at so-called supershear speeds.The quake unzipped the surface at an estimated 11,000 miles per hour—fast enough to dart from New York to London in 18.5 minutes,so fast that it caused the geologic version of a sonic boom.
How often does this happen?A boomerang quake at supershear speeds,as Hicks and his team observed in the Atlantic,may be a fairly rare type.But wider evidence of boomerang quakes is mounting.These back-tracking events have been studied in computer models as well as simulated in lab experiments."The theory says that it's there,but it's quite difficult to see that [in the real world],"says Hicks.The 2016 earthquake in Kumamoto also seems to have ruptured(破裂)in a similar process.For that event,the initial shake triggered two other quakes,one of which raced backward to partially overlap the initial break.
Understanding when and why these boomerang events happen is vital to grappling with risks earthquakes present."Studies like this help us understand how past earthquakes ruptured,how future earthquakes may rupture,and how that relates to the potential impact for faults(断层)near populated areas,"says Hicks.
These boomerangs maybe obscured by conventional approaches used to analyze quakes,which are based on an assumption that a quake rushes in one direction. "Naturally we're not looking for it,we don't expect it to exist,"Hicks says.Yet for earthquakes,it seems,complexities might be the norm rather than the exception.As Hicks puts it:"The more and more we look at earthquakes in more detail,of course we see stranger things."
(1)、A boomerang earthquake differs from other quakes because ____.A、it moves at a super-fast speed B、it triggers several small quakes C、it releases immeasurable energy D、it shakes in two opposite directions(2)、From the passage,we can learn that ____.A、the coming of the next boomerang can be predicted B、boomerangs are too complex to be fully understood C、boomerang events are commonplace in the real world D、common methods are reliable in analyzing boomerangs(3)、What does the underlined phrase"grappling with"in paragraph 4 probably mean?A、putting off B、coping with C、bringing about D、fighting against -

She said,"Daddy,our life together has been more than enough.Your love is all I ever needed.I wish you enough,too,Daddy."They kissed good-bye and she left.

"When you were saying good-bye I heard you say,'I wish you enough.'May I
ask what that means?"
He began to smile."That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations.My parents used to say it to everyone."He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail,he smiled even more.
"When we said 'I wish you enough',we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,"he continued and then turning
toward me,he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.
"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.I wish enough 'Hellos' to get you through the final‘Good-bye'."

One day Gertrude's teacher stopped her after class."Gertrude,"he said,"I've seen the work you do in class,and some of it is 2 ."Gertrude knew there were moments when she did try a little harder than what everyone 3 ,like when she took extra time with her homework to make it look fancy.But she didn't really believe that she could change.She had done just enough to 4 for so long.In fact,she was scared by the thought of having the power to become whatever she wanted.
That night,Gertrude had a dream.It was ten years into the future.She could not find an average job,because even the average jobs were5 by above-average workers.Gertrude wanted her own place,her own life.A voice spoke in the dream:"The present is nothing more than the6 of the choices made in the past.
The future will only be the results of the choices we make today."Gertrude began crying,because she knew she had helped7 the world where she lived,and the choices she made had produced the options she had.

11、 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。
It was in the afternoon before the end of the Second World War that Antonio Black, who was twelve, caught sight of a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window. The brooch is so beautiful that he was unwilling to leave the store until he had purchased it. But it was too expensive — $
5. His family was very poor and his parents struggled to make ends meet. Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family.
Antonio couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Susan. Slim and beautiful, his mother was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop's door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, "But I don't have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time?"
"I'll try," the shopkeeper smiled. "People around here don't usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while."
Antonio respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would be surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering (锤打) from a side street, Antonio suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Antonio knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.
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。
Every day after school, Antonio started his plan.

Take a walk down a street in China, especially around the Chinese New Year. Then you'll see beautiful hand-made sugar paintings on a stick for sale. This traditional Chinese folk art dates back the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644).
It doesn't take much equipment to sugar paint. (make) such an artwork, the artisan scoops (舀) up the melted sugar and forms designs on the metal. Before the liquid sugar becomes hard, a wooden stick is placed in middle to turn it into a lollipop (棒棒糖) to be separated from the metal.
I haven't seen many people eat their sugar paintings. Perhaps it's because they're (work) of art for our admiration. Perhaps because we have much tasty sugary food, the taste of sugar paintings no longer (excite) us. But during the Ming Dynasty, only the rich powerful could afford them. During the Qing Dynasty, sugar paintings were created freehand. And sugar paintings (become) popular since then.
This art form is a part of Chinese history and proof of its people's creativity. Sugar painters (invite) to take part in cultural events both within China and abroad nowadays. Online, there are even toys (create) for kids like a 3D pen. Of course, anyone is interested can have a try. After all, you're combining a delicious treat and art.

16、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Britain is the sixth fattest country: within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). For more than a decade, the government has declared obesity (肥胖) a national emergency and promised to take action, only to produce disappointing plans that don't reach what is required.
It should not have taken a disease like COVID-19 to make people fully aware of the awful consequences of the UK's obesity. Obesity, as well as its associated conditions of diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood pressure, is strongly connected with a higher risk of death from COVID-19 and will have undoubtedly been a factor in the UK having the highest COVID-19 death rate in Europe.
As the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson's experience of caching the virus and being admitted to ICU has reportedly resulted in a complete change in him, who has previously prided himself on his dislike of an over-controlling state. The government is expected to set out a new strategy this week, aimed at reducing obesity levels both in the next few months — ahead of a possible second wave of infections and the longer term.
This obvious change is welcome, but only if it results in a complete change in the government's approach, which doesn't rely on personal responsibility but on much tougher rules, as with tobacco and alcohol.
There is plenty of evidence about what is needed to cut obesity and in recent years, many reports, including from Public Health England and the former chief medical officer, have called for urgent action. Yet these calls were ignored by the government that has seemingly put the food and drink industry's financial interests over the health of the nation.
(1)、What has the government done with obesity in the past ten years?A、It has denied (否认) it is a national emergency. B、It has made unsatisfying plans to reduce it. C、It has taken effective steps to control it. D、It has called for immediate action on it.(2)、What might the British government do next?A、Place less stress on financial interests.

Once upon a time, a young man wanted to go to a village on business. Halfway there was a mountain. Before he left home, his family warned him to stay calm and climb onto trees if he was in face of beasts(野兽). In this way, the beasts couldn't do anything to him.
The young man remembered these words and began his trip.
He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there. He thought his family's worries were unnecessary. And he became relaxed as he walked. Just at that moment, he saw a fierce(凶猛的) tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once.
The tiger roared(咆哮) around the tree and even jumped to reach the man. The young man was too scared to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger. Full of fear, he had to hold the tiger tightly. The tiger thought that must be a giant beast. So it was afraid and started running madly.
People on the road didn't know what had happened and said, "Look at the young man. He is riding a tiger!" "Cool!" "Superman!"
Hearing these words, the young man was very angry. "Why can't they see I'm suffering a lot? Don't they understand I am in fear and almost scared to death?" he said to himself.

"Why did the fox steal my shoes?" sounds like the start of a brain teaser (脑筋急转弯) or an annoyingly hot song. But for people in Berlin, it was a real question that a local fox was behind a series of shoes thefts.
About two weeks ago, Meyer, a resident of Berlin, noticed that one of his new running shoes had disappeared from his porch, and he decided to examine the theft, a German news site reported.
Meyer quickly learned that he was not the thief's only victim, and a tip helped him catch the fox. Days later, Meyer spotted the fox again; he followed it and discovered the fox's secret place of more than 100 shoes.
Meyer got a photo of the thieving fox and its ill-gotten shoes, which he shared on Twitter. The shoes contained sneakers, and slippers in range of colors, shapes and sizes, though the most numerous shoes by far were Crocs.
This isn't the first time that an urban fox has demonstrated a seeming shoe fetish (恋物). In August 2019, a fox in Melbourne, Australia, repeatedly visited a woman's porch and stole three boots over the course of a week. In a small town in western Germany, a female fox stole about 110 to 120 shoes in just one night, presumably "for her babies to play with", according to Reuters.
It's unknown whether all of these foxes were acting independently or whether their actions were linked, perhaps as part of an international shoe-stealing group with a bad purpose that humans can only imagine.
(1)、What can we know about Meyer according to the passage?A、He had his shoes stolen. B、He was physically attacked by a fox. C、He moved out of Berlin and settled in a new place. D、His favorite shoes were Crocs.(2)、What did Meyer do when he found the fox's hiding place?A、He drove the fox away. B、He took a picture and posted it on social media. C、He sent some food to the fox. D、He followed the fox and found many other foxes.(3)、Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 5?A、Totally. B、Partly. C、Definitely. D、Possibly.(4)、How does the author sound in the last paragraph?A、Delighted. B、Serious. C、Humorous. D、Terrified. -
