A
Older adults who sleep six hours or fewer a night may have elevated risk for dementia(痴呆症) and other cognitive (认知的) issues, a new study finds.
Researchers at Stanford University measured seniors' (ages 65 to 85) dementia risk and cognitive abilities, finding higher risk in those patients who regularly slept six or fewer hours compared to those who slept seven or eight hours. Those seniors who slept nine or more hours also had lower cognitive functions and other health issues, but the researchers didn't find the same high dementia risk in this group.
The findings demonstrate how important it is for adults to maintain a healthy sleep cycle, especially as they get older.
As adults age, it's common for their sleep patterns to change or becomedisrupted— leading to longer, shorter, or more irregular sleep. This disruption may be linked to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, impacting seniors' ability to remember information, problem-solve, and go through everyday behaviors. Sleep disruption can also be caused by or heighten depression, cardiovascular disease（冠心病）, and other conditions.
A recommended sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours, the researchers said. Six or fewer hours corresponded to short sleep, while nine or more hours corresponded to long sleep.
The Stanford researchers measured levels of beta amyloid, a protein in the brain that is typically found in high levels when a patient develops Alzheimer's. In addition, the researchers used several tests for memory, attention, spatial skills, and executive function to identify patients' cognitive abilities. Those patients sleeping for six hours or fewer a night were more likely to develop dementia, the researchers found. The low-sleep patients had higher levels of beta amyloid.
The Stanford researchers found that patients with lower sleep also performed worse on memory tests, while those with higher sleep (more hours) performed worse on executive function tests，which measure the brain's ability to switch between different tasks.
―The main takeaway is that it is important to maintain healthy sleep late in life, Winer told CNN. 1. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in paragraph 4 mean? A. difficult B. disordered
C. dissolved D. different
2. According to the findings, which of the following is NOT related to the disrupted sleep? A. It is more likely to cause old people to have bad memories over issues. B. It may contribute to dementia, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses. C. Some daily behaviors perhaps differ from those whose sleeping is normal. D It tends to bring all the old people to undergo brain scans and cognitive tests. 3. What can we infer from the study?
A. A proper sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours. B. Low and high sleep patients were both poor at memory tests. C. Executive function test is applied to measure the capacity of brain. D. Keeping a healthy sleep for older adults late in life is crucial.
B
Paper is an important part of modern life. People use it in school, at work, to make artwork and books, to wrap presents and much more. Trees are the most common material for paper these days.
So how do people make paper out of trees today? People first cut trees, load them onto trucks and bring them to a factory. Machines cut open the outer coverings of the trees, and cut the trees into pieces. Those pieces are boiled into a soup. After that, it is hit flat, dried and cut up into sheets of paper.
The entire process, from planting a small tree to buying your school notebook, takes a very long time. Just growing the trees takes 10 to 20 years.
Making tons of paper from trees can harm the planet. Humans cut down 80, 000 to 160,000 trees around the world every day, and use many of them to make paper. Some of those trees come from tree farms. But people also cut down forests for paper, which means that animals and birds lose their homes.
Cutting forests down also contributes to climate change, and paper factories pollute the air. After you throw paper, it often takes the paper six to nine years to break down. That's why recycling is important. It saves a lot of trees, slows climate change and helps protect endangered animals, birds and all creatures that rely on forests for their homes and food.
So if paper isn't good for the environment, why don't people write on something else?
The answer: They do. With computers, tablets and cellphones, people use much less paper than in the past. Maybe a day will come when we won't use paper at all — or will save it for very special books and artworks. 4. What can we know about making paper out of trees?
A. It costs much money. B. It takes a lot of time. C. It is very easy and fast. D. It is dangerous and difficult. 5. What is the impact of paper production? A. It promotes the recycling. B. It does harm to the environment. C. It slows down the climate change. D. It protects the animals from losing homes.
6. How will we use paper someday in the future according to the text? A. Use it for books only. B. Use the recycled paper. C. Treasure it occasionally. D. Use it for artworks. 7. What idea does the author want to express from the text? A. The influence of making paper on environment. B. The wonderful experience of making paper. C. The necessary process of making paper. D. The good reasons for making paper.
C
Kamikatsu, a small town in Japan, has shown the world that our garbage has far-reaching effects, and not just on our environment.
Theexperiment in going zero waste started when the town built a new incinerator 20 years ago. But almost immediately, the incinerator was determined to be a health risk due to the poisonous gases when garbage was burned in it. It was too expensive to send waste to other towns, so locals had to come up with a new plan. Then the Zero Waste Academy was born, which helped perform this plan.
Now Kamikatsu people separate their waste into 45 different categories. But in the beginning, it wasn't easy to convince local people to do all this work, and there was somepushback. Only after that initial education period did most residents come on board.
This is all great news for waste reduction of course, but it has also had some unexpected social benefits as well. Like much of Japan, Kamikatsu's population is aging, and about 50 percent of the locals are elderly. The fact that the whole community takes their trash in to be recycled has created a local action and interaction between generations.
That idea has been purposefully expanded to include a circular shop where household goods are dropped off
and others can take them, and a tableware \"library\" where people can borrow extra cups, glasses, silverware and plates for celebrations.
\"The elderly see this not as a waste-collection service, but an opportunity to socialize with the younger generation and to chat. When we visit them, they prepare lots of food and we stay with them for a while, we ask how they are,\" Sakano, the founder of the Zero Waste Academy, said.
Sakano's ideas are truly revolutionary if you think about it. She's proving that community can be found through handling the stuff we no longer want and need. 8. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2? A. What harmful effects garbage burning has. B. Why garbage sorting is necessary in Japan. C. How the idea of zero waste was put forward. D. What the Zero Waste Academy functions as.
9. What does the underlined word \"pushback\" probably mean? A. Inactive response. B. Generous reward. C. Bitter suffering. D. Beneficial guidance. 10. What is a bonus of the zero waste project?
A. Reducing waste. B. Creating community.
C. Increasing people's income. D. Developing a new technology. 11. Which part of a newspaper is this text most likely from?
A. Technology. B. Health. C. Workplace. D. Lifestyle.
D
Imagine turning on the GPS and seeing an image of your car from above. As the car drives, the map follows along in real time, alarming you to any traffic, pedestrians,animals, or other things nearby. Routes and names of roads appear over the live stream. It's like the map has come to life.
This type of map isn't available yet. But it could be soon. In 2014, the Worldview-3 satellites was launched into space. Even though it orbits Earth at more than 370 miles（600 km）away, it can capture images of objects on Earth that are just 10 inches（25cm）across.Peeringall the way from outer space, it can make out a smartphone held in your hand. It can tell what types of cars are traveling down a road. But it can't identify your face or read the cars' license plate numbers . . . at least not openly.
According to some reports, this satellite and other US spy satellites have the technology to take even sharper
images, with a resolution（分辨率）of up to around 4 inches（10cm）. ButUS law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public, to prevent enemies from using them. But the idea that anybody might be able to spy on the entire Earth in such detail may seem horrible. Live, high-detail satellite mapping could possibly be used to monitor anybody at any time. Ray Purdy of University College London told CNN that he is concerned about what this could mean for privacy. Most satellites are commercially owned, so if you have money you can buy that imagery. “It means anyone can spy on anyone,” he said.
At the same time, live, detailed maps of Earth's surface could be useful in amazing ways. Live maps of a disaster area could quickly discover people in need of rescue as well as the safest routes in or out. Satellite images are already helping catch illegal logging and fishing operations. Higher detail may make it possible to catch other criminals in the act. The images could also make it easier for farmers to watch over their crops.
What do you think? Do you wish everyone could access high-detail live maps of Earth's surface? 12. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Seeing B. Standing C. Walking D. Hearing 13. Why does US law forbid making super-sharp pictures public? A. to protect the technology. B. for the sake of safety. C. to protect the environment. D. to threat other countries. 14. Which of the following statements is true according to the text? A. This super-sharp map hasn't been put into market. B. Worldview-3 satellites orbits the Earth at 370 km away.
C. Personal privacy is safely protected if you use the super-sharp map. D. The super-sharp map should be completely forbidden. 15. How is this technology used in agriculture? A. It can help improve the production of crops. B. It can help kill pests.
C. It can help farmer to watch over their crops from far away. D. It can help increase farm land.

It’s normal to get nervous about an important event or life change, and there are steps you can take when
anxiety starts to take hold. Try these expert-backed suggestions to help you regain control of your thoughts.
____16____Anxiety is a future-focused state of mind. So instead of worrying about what’s going to happen, move yourself back to the present; that is, focus on what’s happening right now. Besides, ask yourself: Is there something I need to right now? Must I solve this problem now?____17____In this way, those distant possibilities don't throw you off track.
People with anxiety often pay attention to the worst things that could happen. To get rid of these worries, think about how realistic they are.____18____Rather than think, “I’m going to bomb,” say, “I’m nervous, but I’m prepared for this task. Some things will go well.”
As you know, it may be appealing to reach for sweet things when you’re stressed.____19____The reason is that research shows eating too much sugar can worsen anxious feelings. Instead of reaching into the candy bowl, drink a glass of water or eat protein, which will provide a slow energy your body can use to recover.
Following the3-3-3rule may fight anxiety. Whenever you feel your brain going 100 miles per hour and out of control, look around you and name three things you see. Then, name three sounds you hear. Finally, move three parts of your body — your ankle, fingers, or arm.____20____ A. But that could do more harm than good. B. Then map out your future in a realistic way. C. It’s suggested that you stay in your time zone. D. You may regard them as a method of reliving anxiety. E. Let’s say you're nervous about a big presentation at work. F. This trick can help center your mind on the present moment. G. If not, make an “appointment” to check in with yourself later.
