1、My dad was trying to raise the seven of us by himself. And I knew that as soon as I finished high school I was going to help with taking care of the family.
But there weren't any good paying1 just out of high school so I2 to join the Air Force. And the3 had gone out for volunteers to determine the4 of space travel on the human body. So I became one of the human guinea pigs (实验对象) who5 high speed rocket sleds (滑车).
The first time when the sled took off, it was almost6 everything in your body was being7 out through your back. And then when it stopped, it was like driving an vehicle at a hundred miles an hour and8 a stone wall.
I did it more than 65 times. I remember once when one of us was taken off the sled he was like a dish rag. The rest of us saw what happened to him but we were9 to get strapped (用带子绑住) in to that seat to10 the next experiment. We went up to Johnsville, Pennsylvania. There was a huge centrifuge (离心机) up. We rode that thing at high speeds. We had our hand on a little trigger (扳机) and the minute we started to11, our hand would come off the trigger and that would12 the machine.
The day that man went into13, I felt a14 come over my body when hearing the countdown. And even to this day, every time there's a liftoff, I think a little piece of me lifts off with each of those15.

2、You may recall a time when your child was a baby, content in the nursery without crying. However, the transition to kindergarten or school can now be a stressful situation for both the child and parent. Rather, it indicates that the child now comprehends that their parents, upon leaving, do not disappear but will return at an unknown time, causing significant uncertainty and distress.
Separation anxiety is a developmentally normal stage in a child's life. This type of anxiety serves an important adaptive function, helping the child keep their parents close and thus ensuring protection against potential external dangers. In earlier times, children with separation anxiety had a higher chance of survival. Today, this anxiety is part of expected child development. However, in some cases, the anxiety becomes severe and begins to interfere with daily childhood activities, such as separating from parents to go to school and make friends.
So, it's crucial to note that "object permanence (客体恒久性)" in children begins to develop gradually and reaches its peak between approximately 16 and 24 months. Until then, they do not understand that objects or people exist even though they cannot see them. When this behavior takes hold, we encounter separation anxiety disorder. This fear is no longer of an evolutionary type, and the affective bond comes into play, along with the type of attachment that the parents have established with the child.
As adults, it's important that we understand why our child feels this way and be patient with them. At these moments, saying "Stop crying, it's only going to be a little while that we will be away", will not help the child. It's important to confirm their emotions and how they feel.
Understanding and managing separation anxiety is a crucial part of your child's development. It's important to remember that this is a normal stage in their growth.
A. It begins to appear from 6 to 8 months of age.
B. It is at this point that separation anxiety actually appears.
C. Understanding separation anxiety in children is significant.
D. With patience and understanding, it can be effectively managed.
E. "Object permanence" plays an important role in separation anxiety.
F. A little concern in the child at the separation from their parents is normal.
G. This doesn't represent a return to a former state in your child's development.

3、Researchers led by Josie Hughes in the CREATE Lab in EPFL's School of Engineering wanted to develop a robot that could go across diverse environments as skillfully as animals by changing form on the fly. With GOAT (Good Over All Terrains) they have achieved just that—and created a new model for robotic movement and control in the process.
"While most robots compute the shortest path from A to B, GOAT considers the travel pattern as well as the path to be taken," Hughes explains. "For example, instead of going around an obstacle like a stream, GOAT can swim straight through. If its path is hilly, it can passively roll downhill like a ball to save both time and energy, and then actively drive as a rover (漫游者) when rolling is no longer beneficial."
To design their robot, the CREATE team took inspiration from across the animal kingdom, including spiders and kangaroos. The team's bioinspired approach led to a design that is highly compliant (顺应的), meaning it adapts in response to interaction with its environment, rather than remaining unchangeable. This allows GOAT to actively alter its shape to change its passive properties, which range from more flexible in its ‘rover' model to stronger as a ball.
CREATE Lab PhD student Max Polzin explains that compliance also allows GOAT to navigate with minimal sensing equipment. With only a satellite navigation system and a device for measuring the robot's own direction, GOAT carries no cameras onboard. "It doesn't need complex sensing. It can use the environment, even with very limited knowledge of it, to find the best path," Polzin says.
Future research includes improved algorithms (算法) to help with GOAT's design. Looking ahead, the researchers see many potential applications for their device, from environmental monitoring to disaster response.
(1)、What key feature distinguishes GOAT?A、Rolling downhill like a ball. B、Calculating the shortest A-to-B path. C、Navigating obstacles such as streams. D、Efficient adaptation to varied terrains.(2)、Where did GOAT's designers find their solution?A、From previous robots. B、From other researches. C、From other species. D、From edging information.(3)、In which field will GOAT probably be applied?A、Education. B、Climate. C、Finance. D、Medicine.(4)、What would be the best title for the passage?A、The Future Applications of GOAT B、The Development of a New Robot: GOAT C、GOAT: A Robot for Diverse Environments D、How GOAT Saves Time and Energy in Travel -
4、Lots of people snore. In the U. S., about 10% of the adult population have it, and worldwide, the figure is a billion.
The problem isn't the snoring, but the reason behind it. The most common type of sleep apnea (呼吸暂停) is caused by weakened throat muscles relaxing too much during sleep, causing the airway to narrow or close. That leads to snoring plus long pauses between breaths. And when breathing is affected this way, the brain isn't getting the oxygen it needs. Obesity and age are considered the biggest risk factors for sleep apnea. Other risk factors include smoking, having a thick neck or narrow throat, family history and certain medical conditions.
Treating sleep apnea is far more important than just stopping snoring. The diagnosis requires several steps. Besides a medical history and physical exam, doctors try to rule out other conditions, such as asthma (哮喘) or thyroid (甲状腺) disorders, that can cause similar symptoms. And they recommend a sleep study to check on breathing, heart rate and other functions during sleep.
Once the condition has been diagnosed, there are many options for treatment. For mild cases in people who are overweight, lifestyle changes can be enough to reverse sleep apnea. Stopping smoking and drinking may help. Even switching from sleeping on your back to on your side may offer relief.
When treatment is required, the most common is a machine called CPAP. "It's a mask that prevents collapse in the back of the throat," explains Atul Malhotra, a professor and sleep medicine specialist at the University of California. "It has an unnecessarily bad reputation, since it's well tolerated by most patients. But you need to find the right mask and the right pressure settings." There're also certain surgeries that can be done to keep the airways open or to remove excess tissue, but these are a last-line treatment after less-invasive methods have failed. There're many trials underway to evaluate drug treatments.
(1)、What does Paragraph 2 mainly explain about sleep apnea?A、Its risk factors. B、Its underlying cause. C、Its diagnostic process. D、Its common symptoms.(2)、Why do doctors check for other diseases during diagnosis?A、To make diagnosis faster. B、To exclude other possible causes. C、To prove only sleep apnea exists. D、To treat snoring instead of apnea.(3)、What does the underlined word "reverse" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A、Control. B、Cure. C、Prevent. D、Change.(4)、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A、There is no special medicine for sleep apnea. B、Surgeries are not recommended by the doctors. C、The bitterness contributes to CAPA's bad reputation. D、CAPA is now the most effective treatment for sleep apnea. -
5、Before the internet made book reviews widely accessible, where would curious minds go to find information about a new novel's subject matter or a plot?
If you lived in the Los Angeles area, you could reference the Los Angeles Public Library's index of fiction book review cards. The reviews, a collection of thousands of index cards, contain library staff members' thoughts and opinions about new fiction releases that the library carried. The library system started in the 1920s and into the 1980s.
Robert Anderson, who has worked as a librarian at the LAPL since 1980, says the staff review cards were a handy tool that library staff used to answer specific questions the public had about different books. The reviews, along with being a helpful public tool, also helped staff pick which books the LAPL would order for their shelves. If a staff member reviewed a book favorably, they were more likely to carry the title and order multiple copies.
The review process was simple: On an index card, library staff would handwrite or type up an abstract of a book they read and give their personal review of it. The cards offered adjectives that the reviewer could underline to indicate how the story might affect readers emotionally. For example, for the library's review of Virginia Woolf's 1925 book Mrs. Dalloway, the reviewer underlined "wholesome," "pleasant," and "interesting." Of the staff member's characterization of the book, Anderson said he wasn't sure why the reviewer considered Woolf's writing — which deals with loneliness and other, often dark human experiences — to be healthy, "but they did."
The Los Angeles Public Library's index of staff review cards isn't used regularly anymore. But the system now serves as a historical record of both the books, some almost 100 years old, as well as the cultural views held by the book-loving library staff of the time.
(1)、What could be found in the LAPL's review cards?A、Public opinions about the library's services. B、A list of all the books available in the library. C、A summary of the most popular books in the library. D、Librarians' comments on newly added fiction books.(2)、What was the purpose of the review cards for the public?A、To provide free books. B、To offer readers reference. C、To promote new authors. D、To help with book orders.(3)、What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A、The reviews' comments were subjective. B、Virginia Woolf's books were difficult to understand. C、The librarians made wrong judgements about the books. D、The reviewers used some adjectives to describe the books.(4)、What is the author's attitude toward the review card system?A、Critical. B、Doubtful. C、Appreciative. D、Neutral. -

17、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。
Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel (吵架) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, "Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?"
"Oh, yes, but I don't have money on me." she replied.
"That's nothing. I'll treat you today," said the man, "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
"What is it?" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!"
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, "Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?"
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why didn't I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven't I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?"
On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

20、Many people don't take much time for lunch or if they do, they eat at their desks while checking emails. But lunch breaks are more than just a time to eat a meal. Taking lunch breaks can make you more productive and reduce stress.
You may consider spending time in nature. Go outside! Even spending a short time in nature has a positive effect on your mood. Besides increasing your vitamin D, spending time in nature could help calm and relax you as well as helping to improve your immunity (免疫力). So go outside and enjoy yourself in the sun.
A short exercise session will help you meet your fitness goals and give you an energy improvement. If your workplace has a gym or there is one nearby, keep a gym bag in your office so you have no excuse not to go. If not, you can take a walk. Just keep moving!
Reading can also be a good choice. So read a chapter of a good physical book. Not a reader? Listening to something also helps. You can listen to audiobooks to refresh yourself and relax. In short, take time to recharge your batteries for the rest of the day.
Eat mindfully. Good nutrition plays an important role in your physical and mental health. Make your lunch count by eating nutritious foods. Make an everyday eating plan for yourself. But stay away from sugar or caffeine because when the initial energy wears off, it will leave you tired and unproductive.
A. You can try a lunchtime workout.
B. It makes you learned and less stressed.
C. Nothing can take effect better than that.
D. Read to find more benefits of lunch breaks.
E. So take time to do something good for yourself.
F. It will keep your body and brain conscious of careful eating.
G. Find a park or other green space nearby and eat your lunch there.
