Amarri was waiting for1 at the Clearwater International Airport with her friend Hinton seeing her off when a (n)2 man caught her attention: while3 security, he had to throw away one of his liquid-containing items due to strict4 about the weight of liquid that can be allowed on planes.
The man was about to5 when throwing it away into the garbage can. That was when Amarri and Hinton decided to help: after6 the item package from the garbage can, Hinton took it home. Later, he7 opened it, only to find a personalized snow globe. On one side was the image of a pair of smiling couple with some words, "Katie, we love you. Your Grandparents."
Upon return, Amarri posted a photo of the image: online, and soon people were sharing it to8 the lost souvenir with its owner. Several employees at Things Remembered saw the9, recognized the globe as one of their products, and finally10 its owner.
11, the couple had purchased it as a souvenir to their son, Michael, to12the adoption of his 5-year-old daughter, Katie. But Michael had to13 it during his return flight after visiting his parents.

5、In 2007, former Microsoft employee Linda Stone noticed something strange happening every time she sat down to answer emails.. "I would inhale (吸气) in anticipation, but I wouldn't exhale because so many emails would be streaming in," Stone said in an interview.
. She asked dozens of friends and coworkers to sit at her computer answering emails while she monitored their pulse and heart rate variability. Of those participants, 80% had what Stone coined "email or screen area" — shallow or suspended breathing while working on a screen.
"," said science journalist James Nestor, the author of the bestselling book Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, which records his investigation into the power of breath. He explained that humans have lost touch with natural breathing patterns as we spend much of the day hunched (弓身) over our screens and devices. "If you are hunched over, you can't take that soft, slow, deep breath," Nestor said.
Breathing properly has enormous positive impacts on our health and well-being. Slow breathing lowers our stress levels, increases focus, regulates our emotions and even helps us make better decisions..
Nestor suggests the simple exercise of breathing in through your nose for five to six seconds and out through your nose for five to six seconds. "As you inhale, you feel that slight expansion of that abdominal (腹部的) region, and then as you continue inhaling, try to lift that breath up to your chest area," Nestor said. "Breathe this way for two minutes a day, and that's going to make a difference." Stone found that learning an instrument helped her maintain good posture and breathing.. She also took ballroom dancing lessons, which she said had a similar effect.
A. She kept holding her breathB. These tasks resulted in shallow chest breathing
C. She found few people around her had breathing problems
D. Stone wondered how common this was and set out to investigate
E. Poor breathing is what you see when you look at 90% of the population
F. This in turn allowed her to form better breathing habits — even while in front of a screen
G. Luckily, Nestor and Stone feel confident that it's possible to retrain our body to breathe well

6、Researchers at ETH Zurich have discovered that pupi (瞳孔) size continuously changes during sleep, reflecting shifts in brain activity. This breakthrough could aid in identifying sleep disorders and brain conditions like Alzheimer's.
Led by Sarah Meissner and Nicole Wenderoth, the research team challenged the long-held belief that the brain remains in a low-activation state during sleep. Their study, published in Nature Communications, reveals frequent changes in pupil size — from rapid shifts within seconds to gradual changes over minutes. These variations correlate with activation levels in brain regions adjusting sleep-wake cycles.
To measure pupil dynamics, scientists developed a novel method: keeping sleepers' eyes open using a medical-grade transparent glue. "We worried people couldn't sleep with open eyes, but in darkness, most forgot their eyes were open," explained lead author Manuel Carro Dominguez. The team tracked pupil changes alongside brainwave patterns, finding connections to important sleep processes like memory-boosting brain waves and deep-sleep waves.
Interestingly, pupils also responded to sounds differently depending on brain activation levels at the moment. Future studies will test whether the locus coeruleus — a tiny area in the brain that controls awakening-directly drives these pupil changes, Researchers plan to apply drugs targeting this area to observe effects on pupil dynamics. "If proven, it could explain how activation levels influence sleep quality and functions," said neuroscientist Caroline Lustenberger.
This discovery holds promise for medical applications. Pupil monitoring might help doctors find sleep problems, stress-related conditions, or early signs of memory loss by detecting abnormal brain activity. The team aims to adapt the technology for hospital use, such as tracking unconscious patients' brain activity or improving sleep disorder assessments. "The pupil acts like a window into the sleeping brain," Lustenberger noted, suggesting it could innovate upon both neuroscience and sleep medicine.
By transforming a simple eye observation into a brain activity detector, this research bridges fundamental science and practical healthcare solutions. As next-generation devices make pupil tracking more accessible, sleep labs worldwide may soon adopt this approach to unlock deeper insights into the mysteries of the sleeping mind.
(1)、What common idea about sleep does the ETH Zurich research question?A、That brain activity shifts with sleep cycles. B、That sleep involves reduced brain activity. C、That pupil size only changes when awake. D、That brain remains inactive during the night.(2)、How did the researchers conduct their study?A、By comparing sleepers' various brain waves. B、By using a glue to keep sleepers' eyes open. C、By linking the pupil changes to the brain function. D、By recording the state of sleepers' pupils and brain.(3)、Why might pupil monitoring be important in medicine?A、It can cure sleep disorders. B、It can prevent memory loss. C、It may transform healthcare. D、It may increase brain activity.(4)、What is the author's attitude toward the research?A、Optimistic and forward-looking. B、Mindful and reserved. C、Enthusiastic and ground-breaking. D、Critical and doubtful. -
7、Motorcyclists seeking to solidify their reputation as risk-takers could do worse than (不妨做某事) book a session on a Wall of Death. These are small circular velodromes (圆形赛车场) where the track almost stands at an angle of 90° to Earth's surface. What drives these brave souls up the wall is their speed. At around 50 kph, the forces acting on them are strong enough to counterbalance gravity's pull, and keep them pushed outward.
Now a group of scientists have tracked down one more need for such equipment. In a paper in Royal Society Open Science, they propose that astronauts living on NASA's planned lunar base could run on the track to prevent their bodies from wasting away (变得消瘦、 衰弱) under the Moon's reduced gravitational pull.
In low-gravity environments, muscle decreases in strength, bone becomes easily broken and fitness and motor abilities decline. Even exercise, made less effective by weightlessness, struggles to counteract such effects. Alberto Minetti from the University of Milan wondered if running in a Wall of Death might provide a workout capable of limiting the body's decline. To test it he rented a 10-metre-wide Wall of Death and called in two brave volunteers.
His team tied the volunteers, a man and a woman, to ropes hanging from a crane (起重机) above the track. The ropes relieved the volunteers of five-sixths of their body weight, in effect mirroring the Moon's gravity. After some practice rounds, the volunteers could run parallel to (与……平行) the ground at speeds averaging around 20 kph, without assistance.
Dr Minetti says such motion can generate a force on the body similar to the effect of gravity on Earth. According to his calculations, running this way may be enough to battle the negative effects of lunar life. NASA may not even need to find extra room: he suggests that if the lunar shelters for the Artemis Base Camp were built in a circular design, astronauts could simply go for a jog around the inside walls. In principle it is "not a completely crazy idea," says Kevin Fong, a doctor and specialist in space medicine at University College London. But, he adds, the limited medical care available in space means he would be nervous about astronauts running at speed.
(1)、Why is a Wall of Death mentioned in paragraph 1?A、To highlight its great forces. B、To stress its tough challenge. C、To imply its another good use. D、To show its global popularity.(2)、What was the purpose of Dr Minetti's experiment?A、To explore exercises for astronauts in space. B、To find approaches to cycling in a Wall of Death. C、To assess the benefits of workouts on the Moon. D、To measure the impact of gravity on human health.(3)、What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A、The method used to create lunar gravity. B、The process for selecting brave volunteers. C、The speed required for the body's movement. D、The cooperation needed in low-gravity conditions.(4)、What is Fong's attitude towards Dr Minett's suggestion?A、He is optimistic about it. B、He does not care about it. C、He is strongly opposed to it. D、He does not fully support it. -

9、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。
To some people, no matter what life throws at them, they can still find strength in the love from those around them. Luckily, Jackie was one of them.
Jackie was just 17 when tragedy struck. An injury left her paralysed (瘫痪的) when she jumped into a pool. The doctors told Jackie that she would never be able to walk again. The news was heartbreaking for Jackie and her family. All her dreams were lost. Before the accident, she was an athlete, an activist and was always ready for adventure. She loved sports and swimming. But the accident that followed changed her life completely and she didn't handle it well.
Jackie was advised to accept the new normal, but she was not the kind of person to give up easily. She kept going to the beach, parks, and doing whatever she could to make the most out of her life. She turned to exercise as a way to escape the reality of her life, but the lack of mobility caused her to sink into a deep depression that lasted about six months.
Everyone was worried that she'd never be happy again. Until eight years later, on a spring day, Jackie's mother encouraged her to go to the park to take advantage of the warm weather. There, she encountered an engaging young man who approached her unexpectedly. She was initially surprised and cautious, but Andrew's charming personality soon won her over. After hours of conversation, he surprised her by asking her to come to enjoy the sunshine in the park next time. Jackie was shocked but also attracted by his intelligence and passion. Despite her initial disbelief, she agreed and the day marked a turning point in her life.
Jackie and Andrew quickly fell in love, embarking on a romantic journey filled with unforgettable moments. Her past insecurities disappeared, replaced by a sense of joy. Within a year, Andrew proposed (求婚), and Jackie accepted. Their relationship had transformed Jackie's life, bringing her happiness once again. Every girl dreams of their wedding day, and Jackie was no exception.

For a moment, I hesitated, but his following words8 me: "I could sleep in this rocking chair on the porch (走廊). My bus leaves early in the morning." I9. After supper, I went to talk with him. I was10 to see that this man had a big heart in that tiny body. He fished for a living to11 his five children, and his crippled wife. He didn't complain.12, he was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease — a skin cancer.
The next morning, before leaving, he asked13, "Could I stay here next time I have a treatment?" I told him he was welcome.
On his next trip, he brought a big fish. His bus left at 7:00 a. m., so I14 when he had to get up to fish for us. From him, we learned to accept the bad without15 and the good with gratitude.

13、Many parents, teachers, and families find it challenging to carve out time for outdoor play in their busy schedules..
Look into attending a forest school
We've been doing this for five months now, and it's the best money I've ever spent. One day a week, all of my children spend a day at a certified forest school held in a nearby provincial park., and I've noticed it's made them far more comfortable and willing to play outside overall.
At this time of a year, it's dark in the early evenings, but that shouldn't stop you from sending kids out to play in a safe yard where they're not at risk from cars. Do a quick after-dinner play, or take them for a nightly pre-bedtime walk if you're in a busy urban setting.
Older kids can get a part-time job that gets them outside
Our elderly neighbor asked if she could hire my kids to walk her dog every day, so they do.. It's a great way to get them outside each day, no matter the weather — and they love making money. Other ideas could be a paper route, shoveling snow, or assisting another senior neighbor in some capacity.
Spend time with your kids outdoors
. You can light a bonfire (篝火)in the backyard or set up a bonfire stove to make hot chocolate or apple juice. You can also have a picnic and work together in the garden. You can even sit and read while your child is playing nearby. You can attend without engagement.
A. Arrange a play session
B. Welcome the evening hours for outdoor activities
C. Put the effort into saving your time for outdoor play
D. This experience has become a highlight of their week
E. Create enjoyable outdoor moments with your children
F. This arrangement has worked out well for both parties
G. Here are some suggestions of making time for outdoor play

14、"Whatever the mind can conceive (构思) and believe, it can achieve." Would you agree with the statement that a dream is born from an idea — a simple idea in the mind? Back in the 19th century, two brothers had an idea which eventually became their passionate and consuming dream. Their insistent pursuit of that dream was rewarded with an achievement that changed world travel.
On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers (Wilbur and Orville) achieved their dream. They flew the world's first power-driven and heavier-than-air machine. This memorable feat took place at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on a cold windy morning.
The dream started with an idea that was planted in their minds by a toy given to them by their father. In the words of the boys, "Late in the autumn of 1878, our father came into the house one evening with some object partly hid in his hands, and before we could see what it was, he threw it into the air. Instead of falling to the floor, as we expected, it flew across the room till it struck the ceiling, where it flew a while, and finally sank to the floor." This simple toy made of bamboo and stretched rubber bands fascinated the Wright brothers and sparked their lifelong interest in human flight.
The Wright brothers were great thinkers. They enjoyed learning new things. Initially, they recycled broken parts to build a printing press and opened their own printing office. Their interest moved to bicycles and in 1893, they opened the Wright Cycle Company where they sold and repaired bicycles. But Wilbur (the older brother) had his mind set on something more exciting. He decided to seriously pursue flying.
(1)、What does the author want to stress in paragraph 1?A、Ideas are always achievable. B、Mind can turn ideas into reality. C、Only simple ideas can be achieved. D、Dreams are born from simple ideas.(2)、What did the father do for the Wright brothers?A、He planted special seeds for them. B、He taught them how to employ bamboo. C、He gave them a special toy. D、He guided them on career planning.(3)、Which of the following can best describe the Wright brothers?A、Innovative and curious. B、Thoughtful and sociable. C、Adaptable and extraordinary. D、Influential and sensitive.(4)、What can we know about the Wright brothers?A、They avoided taking a risk. B、Their printing business failed. C、They liked exploring new ideas. D、Their firms were distributed worldwide. -

16、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 12-year-old daughter is smart, even sharper than I was at her age, but she just wouldn't pick up a chapter book for fun. School books were tough for her, and when it came to free time, she stuck to picture books and listened to "Harry Potter" audiobooks. None of these really got her into deep reading, where you stare at words on paper and let your imagination fly.
For a while, I had to face the truth: I hadn't passed on the joy of reading to her. I tried telling her how reading makes life richer, but she shrugged (耸肩) and said, "Lots of my friends don't like reading either. It's no big deal."
Things went worse when she got a smartphone last year. Suddenly, my lively child became lazy, always on her phone. I suggested other fun activities, but she just found theme "boring." I still held out hope for reading, seeing it as a developmental escape. But the problem was that she chose the colorful, noisy world of her phone.
Then, right before we left for an 8-day holiday on a beautiful Greek island, we talked about reading again. "Novels are the best way to understand how people feel," I told her. "I can learn more from social media," she replied. I mentioned storytelling and history, and she said, "I can watch movies and use the internet." I even promised to buy her any books she liked, but she smiled and said, "Mama, welcome to your dream."
I realized I couldn't win. She had good reasons and I couldn't say she was wrong. Sure, reading opens up new worlds, but so does the whole internet. Still, deep down, I wished she'd experience the pure magic of reading—those special moments when an author says exactly what you've always felt but never knew how to express.

18、阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The Sad Zither is a famous seven-verse poem (write)by Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin (813—858). Due to its rich imagery, the poem is regarded as one of (hard)poems to explain and translate.
In beginning of the poem, the poet looks at his zither and recalls the death of his beloved wife. The big number of strings, which might not be the real number, is mentioned (show) his feeling. With so many strings, his zither creates complicated tones, (suggest) the sorrow and depression the poet feels. The reality is so cruel that he wishes everything happened was untrue. In this part, he uses four Chinese ancient myths and legends: Zhuangzi, a philosopher, dreams of being a butterfly and couldn't distinguish dream reality; the ancient emperor Wang becomes a cuckoo and always cries; mermaid's tears become pearl and vapor of jade from Lantian County can (see)in the sunlight. The first three stories all create a sad atmosphere. Though the last legend describes a beautiful scene, it's hard to reach, implicating the hopelessness.
Actually, the four (story)he chose indicate Li's dissatisfaction with his life.
In the end, the poet (direct)expresses his point. He wrote about his regret toward the passing years and the helplessness of being unable to change anything, even if he was given the chance to live those years again.

20、Children are more creative when they learn in natural surroundings, according to new research from Curtin University. Primary school students in Australia and England were put to the test to see whether writing poetry in a natural outdoor setting produced more creative outcomes than writing in a classroom, and the answer was yes.
Dr Paul Gardner and Sonja Kuzich from Curtin's School of Education ran relative trials with 10-year-old students in both countries and the results, recently published in the Cambridge Journal of Education, gave a big thumbs-up to the positive influence of natural settings. "We found that students who had direct contact with nature by immersing (沉浸) themselves in a bush or forest setting were much more descriptive and vivid in the language they used than the classroom-based writers who ‘imagined' being in nature through photos," Dr Gardner said.
In total, 97 students took part in the study, divided into four classrooms, including two based at an English primary school and two from a primary school in Western Australia. In each country one class visited a natural bush or forest before writing a poem based on what they saw, smelt and felt. The other class viewed a pile of images of the same bush or forest setting.
Ms Kuzich said the difference in creative language used between the classes was obvious with twice as many UK forest students using figurative (比喻的) language compared with the class-based students. In Australia that figure rose to more than four times when comparing the poetry of the forest-based students with those who remained at school.
The researchers say further studies of larger groups are now recommended to a gain greater understanding of the influence of natural spaces and "green learning" in schools.
