27、A completely stress-free life seems like a much better alternative. But it isn’t necessarily a good thing, research is now showing. A small amount of stress may actually help kids build mental toughness. David Lyons is a behavioral neuroscientist at Stanford University in California. His team reported causal evidence for this connection in a November 2019 paper Scientific Reports.

The team studied young monkeys. These monkeys experienced varying degrees of stress. "No-stress" monkeys enjoyed a typical life in the lab. They were housed in a cage with their mother and siblings. There was plenty of water and food. They also got toys. The second group faced a mild stressor. They spent an hour a day away from their siblings on 10 straight days. The stress level went up for the third group. These monkeys had daily separation from siblings and no access to mothers during that hour. Two more groups experienced daily separation from both their mothers and siblings.

A fortnight later, all the monkeys were moved with their mothers to some unfamiliar cages. The researchers examined the monkeys’ willingness to leave their mothers and explore the new surroundings. The team also analyzed levels of the stress cortisol in the animals’ blood. That blood had been collected before, during and after their time in the new cage.

Generally, monkeys faced with one or two stressors(groups 2 and 3) depend less on their mothers than those in groups 4 and 5. They were also more willing to explore the new environment. On the whole, they behaved less anxiously than both the no-stress and high-stress groups. The monkeys’ cortisol patterns also reflected this trend. Animals that were exposed to mild stress lowered their cortisol level faster than the other monkeys.

Growing up healthy means "learning how to deal with mild challenges and changes," Lyons concludes.

【1】What stress did the second group of monkeys face?

A．Being offered few toys.

B．Lacking access to mothers.

C．Being housed in a cage for 10 days.

D．Living without their siblings temporarily.

【2】What may show the monkeys’ level of stress?

A．The cortisol types in their blood.

B．Their tendency to try new things.

C．The length of time they spend in a new cage.

D．Their willingness to live with unfamiliar monkeys.

【3】What can we learn about the monkeys in groups 2 and 3?

A．They experienced the high level of cortisol.

B．They felt quite uneasy without their mothers.

C．They showed little interest in the surroundings.

D．They expressed the least anxiety among the monkeys.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Mild Stress Helps Build up Toughness

B．Stress and Anxiety Go Hand in Hand

C．Report Reveals the Stress of Animals

D．Monkeys Learn How to Tackle Stress

28、For some people, walking or running outdoors is a great way to work out. What may not be so pleasant is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging!

“Plogging” began in Sweden. The name combines the Swedish word “plocka,” which means to pick up, and the word Jogging, which means to run slowly. A Swedish man named Erik, started the movement in 2016. On the World Environment

Day website, Erik says that he moved to Stockholm from a small community in northern Sweden each day he would ride his bike to work. Concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to work, he took matters into his own hands.

Plogging, by that term, may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington, D.C. He often picks up trash while running outside. He even has turned it into a game; he will try to pick up the trash without stopping. “I didn’t know it was a thing really. This is just my personal ethics (道德标准), where I go for a run and if I happen to see a piece of garbage lying around and it’s within reach — it is a kind of a little test for me to see if I can grab it and throw it in a near trash can without stopping. And that way, I think, it gives me a little exercise and a little focus for my run. And it helps clean up the neighborhood,” he announced.

Today, plogging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular. Cities around the world now hold logging events, “I would just hope people would think twice before dropping a garbage on the ground. We have containers seems on every block. So, it’s easy to put your garbage in the trash cans. I just think people should think about it a little bit more. I do hope one day there will not be a need for plogging.” said an interviewee.

【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “took matters into his own hands”?

A．called on people to join him.

B．appealed to people to go green.

C．began to pick up the trash.

D．had the collected trash recycled.

【2】What does the example of Jeff Horowitz tell us?

A．Plogging comes naturally to joggers who care about the environment.

B．Plogging is an easy way to clean the environment.

C．It doesn’t make any sense to joy without picking up trash.

D．It is better to clean up the neighborhood by plogging.

【3】What is the idea that Logging events are meant to promote?

A．Jogging is truly beneficial.

B．Trash cans should be within reach.

C．Littering is not acceptable.

D．Communities should be kept clean.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A．New Exercise Enjoys unbelievable popularity

B．New Exercise Trend Also Helps Environment

29、The Ice Cream Machine is no ordinary tale. It’s a flavorful (好味道的) book made up of six stories, all of which have the same title, but each has a different story centering on one subject, ice cream.

One ice-cream story focuses on a boy and his robot in the distant future. Another is about a father and daughter who invent an ice-cream machine. My favorite story in the book talks about two sisters, Pam and Penelope, who try to enter an ice-cream-eating contest. The six stories go with black-and-white illustrations (插图) from six different artists.

The Ice Cream Machine is inventive and fun. Its author, Adam Rubin, has a lot of experience when it comes to writing about food. His most famous children’s book is Dragons Love Tacos. It was a No.1 New York Times best-seller. “I like to write about food because it’s universally beloved by people of all different cultures,” Rubin says. “It’s something we can all relate to.”

Rubin hopes The Ice Cream Machine inspires kids to write. Its jacket turns into an envelope in which readers can send him their stories. Rubin says writers should write about things they like. “If you’re trying to write something that someone else likes, you might not get it right. Then no one’s happy,” he says. “But if you focus on writing about something that you like, then it’s fun. When it makes you happy, your writing will bring joy.”

I recommend The Ice Cream Machine to anyone who likes creative storytelling. The book goes down just like ice cream: smooth, enjoyable, and with a pleasant aftertaste.

Rubin’s favorite flavor of ice cream? “Chocolate chip,” he says. Don’t tell him, but the best flavor is actually birthday cake！

A．Something connected with food.

B．What other people like.

C．What happens to them.

D．Something they enjoy.

【3】What can we learn about The Ice Cream Machine from the text？

A．It has six stories with different titles.

B．It contains many colorful illustrations.

C．It is a No. 1 New York Times best-seller.

D．It is written in a style of creative storytelling.

A．My Favorite Story in a Book

B．Six Flavors in One Book
