26、Spring is just around the corner and there’s nothing like seeing the first robin of the season, which is a sign that warmer days are ahead. Now a new study conducted in Germany has found that the more often we see and hear birds chirping and singing, the happier we are. A team at the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research discovered that being surrounded by a wide variety of birds can offer increasing life satisfaction equal to $150 per week of added income.
The German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research took data from the 2012 European quality of Life Survey to measure how species diversity in birds affected 26,000 people in 26 European countries.
“According to our findings, the happiest Europeans are those who can experience numerous different bird species in their daily life, or who live in near-natural surroundings that arc home to many species," explains the study’s lead author, Joel Methorst a professor at Goethe University in Frankfurt. "We also examined the socio-economic data of the people that were surveyed, and, much to our surprise, we found that birds diversity is as important for their life satisfaction as is their income," he added.
Another study from the California Polytechnic University found that placing speakers with a variety of bird sounds on hiking trails improved the outdoor experience. The study was conducted in Colorado but the findings may improve hikers’ happiness everywhere. There was no difference in hikers' happiness whether the bird sounds were artificial, pre-recorded, or natural.
During a year of loss, stress, and uncertainty, the comforting sounds of nature have been crucial. A recent report from the Audubon Society found that sales of bird feeders, bird food, and birding apps have all increased during the pandemic, and participation in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s annual Global Big Day 2020 broke records.
【1】What can we learn from the study conducted in Germany?
A.The research team interviewed 26,000 people to collect data.
B.The number of bird species impacts people’s life satisfaction.
C.Natural bird sounds have better effects on increasing happiness.
D.The researchers recommended living in near-natural surroundings.
【2】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Sounds of Birds Cheer Hikers up on Hiking Trails
B.Birds Diversity is Catching the Eye of Researchers
C.Sales of Bird Supplies Increase during the Pandemic
D.Being Surrounded by Various Birds Can Make You Happier

27、Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
London
Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed firework that knows how to present itself with a bang.

Sunday Market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also famous for its gold dealers, and there are lots of gold shops along the road.
Port Louis
Found in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity.

28、 Excused from recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute(垃圾道)? You won't be for long. Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.
In Shantzis' Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes.
The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials(as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors' chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables.
Sorting recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective.
【1】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Soon you' ll have to recycle your rubbish.
B.You'll soon be living in a cleaner building.
C.Rubbish chutes will become out of date before long.

【2】What do you need to do before dropping rubbish into the chute?
A.Lock the other floors' chute doors.
B.Check whether the container is full.
C.Break up the nonrecyclables.
D.Press the correct button.
【3】What is one of the benefits of Shantzis' system?
A.It saves the cost of time and space.
B.It cuts the expense of recycling.
C.It saves money for people living in high rises.
D.It makes better use of the existing recovery equipment.
【4】The purpose in writing this text is ________.
A.to encourage people to recycle their rubbish
B.to describe the use of computer technology in recycling
C.to introduce a recycling system for tall buildings
D.to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises
29、The morning after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old daughter, I couldn’t wait to send her to school. I, as a mother, was tired from the anger and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.
As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She’d been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession. My job and my house had been victims (牺牲品). Then this happened. My child’s language delay (语言发育迟缓) was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her. I felt like we both needed to be rescued.
I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with my little girl as when I left. Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me. “You should have seen her today!” His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn’t interrupt. “See that climber.” He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. “Well, every day since she started school, she’s tried and failed to make it to the top.” He took a breath. “And today she did it!”
He expressed his joy just as he’d witnessed her conquering Mount Everest! “She cheered and celebrated! I wish I’d recorded it!” His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain. As she ran toward me. I recognized something I hadn’t before. I saw her perseverance (毅力). I saw her strength. I saw a Hero.

31、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the 【1】? Or the soft background music?
But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is 【2】 to be no. But while a shop’s scent(香味)may not be 【3】 compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which 【4】 through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customer’s 【5】 to purchase increased by 80 percent.
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is 【6】 because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.
Some years ago, the 【7】 for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ 【8】 attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (ecommerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks and mortar stores(实体店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. One brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a【9】. And scent is just one way to achieve this.
Now, a famous store uses complex manmade smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department. Another department store has even opened a new lab, 【10】 customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.
