26、Boredom is a common human experience. It’s almost impossible to fully avoid it, especially when you’re living a fast-paced life. You may be bored from time to time and feel like you need something new or exciting in your life. It’s perfectly natural to feel this way from time to time, but feeling bored often can also mean that your present life isn’t satisfying you as much as it could.

When you feel bored, think about what activities bring you joy and happiness. Perhaps you find that hobbies are what help improve your spirits when life feels standstill. After all, having interests and pursuing (追求) them often can have a great effect on the quality of your life and how satisfied you feel. If this sounds like something that would benefit your life, we have some great ideas for hobbies to pursue when you’re bored!

One of the easiest and most effective ways to relieve (缓解) boredom is to take exercise. Exercise is not only good for your body but also your mind. When your body is moving, it re-leases (释放) certain chemicals that make you feel good. Learning a new language is another way to challenge yourself and become more creative. It can also open up a whole new culture and way of thinking for you! Many people find that learning a new language gives them a sense of achievement that they don’t get from other hobbies.

Furthermore, reading is a hobby that can be enjoyed by almost anyone. It’s inexpensive, easy to fit into your plan and can be done just about anywhere. It doesn’t require special equipment or supplies, and you can do it alone or with others. The last way to avoid feeling bored inside is to spend time outdoors. Find a place to go where you can get away from the noise and other troubles. You may find that being outside offers a sense of peace and calmness.

Boredom is a common part of life, so we shouldn’t try to avoid it completely. Boredom can be a sign that you need a change in your daily life and something new to try. If you find yourself feeling bored, use these ideas to find new hobbies. After all, hobbies can greatly enrich your life and help you feel more satisfied!

27、When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.

Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.

Three days later, a hurricane(飓风) hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.

For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would like his dog back.

A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting hopelessly on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.

The dog had been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)at first but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said , “It was a very lucky dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.

It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle(奇迹)”.

28、If you’re one of those people who have trouble falling asleep, listen up. You might fall asleep 15 minutes earlier and wake up far less during the night if you put on a pair of socks at bedtime.

To understand why, you first need to understand the relationship between core body temperature and sleep. During daylight hours, the human body keeps at an average temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. But at night, your core body temperature reduces as much as 1.2 degrees Celsius over the course of six or seven hours of sleep.

It turns out that this gradual decrease in core body temperature is a key part of the complex neurobiological dance (神经生物学行为) of falling asleep and staying asleep. And the faster you can lower the core body temperature, the faster you will fall asleep.

One of the ways your body regulates (调节) its temperature is through blood vessels (血管) in your skin. If the brain decides the body is too hot, it will widen blood vessels, guiding warmer blood from the body’s core to the rest of the body to cool it down. If the body is too cold, the brain signals the opposite reaction, limiting the flow of blood to the surface.

According to researchers, warming the feet before going to sleep promotes vasodilation (血管舒张) by using a warm foot bath or wearing socks, which in turn lowers the body’s core temperature faster than going to sleep with cold, bare feet.

Scientists think socked feet may have a neurological effect as well. Inside the PO/AH of the brain is a type of a warm-sensitive neuron (热敏神经元), helping us fall asleep and stay asleep. And if that’s the case, warming up the feet before bedtime gives warm-sensitive neurons an extra power.

In a study, Korean researchers found that wearing a pair of special “sleeping socks” not only quickened sleep, but lengthened overall sleep time by an average of 30 minutes and cut nighttime waking period in half.

【1】What’s the relationship between core body temperature and sleep?

A．Once you control your core body temperature, you’ll fall asleep quickly.

B．The faster your core body temperature drops, the faster you’ll fall asleep.

C．The core body temperature doesn’t have anything to do with sleep.

D．The decrease of the core body temperature stops fast sleep.

【2】Which of the following is the benefit of sleeping with a pair of socks?

A．Lowering the body’s temperature greatly.

B．Reducing overall sleep time.

C．Increasing nighttime waking period.

D．Speeding up your sleep.

【3】What can you infer from the passage?

A．People’s body temperature goes up at night.

B．It must be uncomfortable to wear socks in bed.

C．A warm foot bath might be helpful before sleeping.

D．Warm-sensitive neurons have no effect on sleep.

【4】How is the passage mainly developed?

A．By listing numbers.

B．By providing examples.

C．By making comparison.

D．By giving explanations.

29、“This material is called xiangyunsha,” said Song Fei, while she introduced a traditional cheongsam (旗袍) to customers in a flagship shop. “Dyed with pure plant extracts and unpolluted river mud, the time-honored silk cloth is named ‘soft gold’ in the textile (纺织的) industry.”

To everyone’s surprise, the knowledgeable Song, who has unbelievable insights into cheongsam, a body-hugging one-piece Chinese dress for women, has practiced law for 10 years in Chengdu City. In 2017, she traveled to Suzhou to learn design and handicraft skills of cheongsam and traditional costumes, becoming a cheongsam designer.

At first, Song’s family and friends were not optimistic about her choice to switch from a distinguished career to an artistic field. Knowing little about clothing, Song met with a huge challenge. “The pain was unthinkable, but since I had chosen that profession, I had to stick to it. I want a career that I truly enjoy,” said Song.

Song returned to Chengdu with new skills and creative passion in 2019 and founded her design brand. “To be honest, compared with my previous job, this one is harder and leaves me with much greater financial pressure. But my sense of satisfaction is beyond comparison when my works are recognized and appreciated,” said Song.

“Traditional cheongsams are one-piece tailored dresses of Chinese origin that require making with natural materials by hand. However, modern cheongsams are often made with artificial materials and produced by machine,” Song said. “In the face of rapid social and economic changes, traditional cheongsams are receiving less attention due to the popularity of mass-produced cheongsams.”

To save the beauty of traditional culture, Song wants to blend people’s daily lives with time-honored handicrafts, believing that traditional culture should not be the zone of museums. She aims to pass on traditional Chinese culture, which is a meaningful type of work with social responsibilities.

【1】Where did Song probably work in the past?

A．In a design room for costumes.

B．In a museum of traditional culture.

C．At an office of legal affairs.

D．At a flagship shop of cheongsams.

【2】What made Song change her job?

A．Love for traditional costumes.

B．Persuasion from family and friends.

C．Unthinkable pain from the former job.

D．Great financial pressure.

【3】What is paragraph 5 mainly about?

A．The future development of cheongsams.

B．The main producing process of cheongsams.

C．The original materials of traditional and modern cheongsams.

D．The difference between traditional and modern cheongsams.

【4】Which of the following can best replace the word “blend” in paragraph 6?

A．Rid.

B．Combine.

C．Compare.

D．Exchange.
