26、 Is it necessary to learn when we are in our 50s, 60s or even 70s? Most people think that when they get retired, they are supposed to be completely laid-back(安详放松), do something fun, or hang around. 【1】 It’s particularly important for the elderly.
Through learning, we know how to think, how to memorize, how to ask questions and even how to interact with others. According to a study, while we are learning, our brains create neural pathways that make us smarter. 【2】 The more we learn, the more new neural pathways develop in our brains.
When it comes to learning, it doesn’t mean we must load ourselves with lots of knowledge. What we need to do is just learn something we like day in and day out. 【3】 Everyone learns from bottom to up. If we have an interest in learning, the desire will naturally push us to move forward.
If we feel worn out, don’t be discouraged. 【4】 An old saying goes, “Birds of a feather flock together.” As long as we have partners to learn together, our learning excitement will come alive again. On the contrary, if we don’t learn, or choose to distance ourselves from others, we might be getting dumb, and slow; eventually, we lose energy and passion. Instead of being bored and dumb, why don’t we keep learning?
【5】 More importantly, learning broadens our horizons, helps us build up our confidence; bit by bit, it leads us to a way of finding the sense of value and achievement in the process of learning.
A.Look for a partner who has the same interest as you.
B.It’s never too old to learn.
C.In other words, our brains are active as we learn something new.
D.Don’t worry that you can’t learn well.
E.Learning makes us understand how much potential we have.
F.However, the truth is that learning makes us energetic and content.
G.You should set a high learning target.
27、Unsurprisingly, people who are very busy also tend to be very successful and knowledgeable, so it’s in your interest to befriend with them. But how do you talk to such busy people in order to make friends with them? 【1】 the same rules apply. However, there are a few specific rules for talking with busy people in particular.
Remember that even busy people are social creatures. That people are busy doesn’t mean they don’t want to chat with others or they don’t enjoy it. 【2】 Busy people can be very social and friendly. Like anyone else, they have a deep-seated need to socialize and make friends.
【3】 They know they’re capable and in demand, but it doesn’t mean they expect others to prove themselves to them. The best use of your time talking with busy people is not in trying to impress them. Focus on making a conversation and creating a connection, not on proving yourself.
Spend more time in their field. When dealing with busy people, since their time is in high demand, your favorite topics take a slight backseat to theirs. It usually makes sense to make sure they find the topics you talk about meaningful. 【4】
Get to the point. 【5】 Their time is highly valuable. So they don’t need you to sugar coat your messages that much, they just want you to say what you have to say.
A.Don’t try to prove yourself.
B.Don’t hesitate to change your plans.
C.They just don’t have that much time for it.
D.It’s comfortable for them to chat with people who they like.
E.Mostly, talking to busy people is the same as talking to any others.
F.Once you’ve found a topic they enjoy talking about, you should explore that topic.
G.Busy people have little patience for communicators who beat around the bush.
28、If you grew up watching the kid’s television channel Nickelodeon, you will probably understand that there is nothing greater than enjoying its special bright green slime ( 水晶泥). The week of May 11, astronauts (宇航员) aboard the International Space Station(ISS) joined the slime.
Nickelodeon sent two kilos of its green slime into space in the summer of 2019. The Slime in Space project’s idea was to create an educational trip for teachers to use in class. The green slime was also used to guide astronauts through a series of experiments that were designed to learn more about how slime acts in microgravity.
Researchers from Portland State University(PSU) were excited to design the experiments for the project. Mark Weislogel and his partner designed eight shows for NASA astronauts and European Space Agency astronaut aboard to perform.
If you’re wondering what we could hope to learn from sending slime into space, the answer lies in its very name. Slime is slimy. This is because it is a liquid that is thicker than liquids like water. This makes slime act in unexpected ways in the microgravity of the ISS. Improving our understanding of how thicker liquids act in space may help us improve the design of systems that something were designed with Earth’s gravity in mind.
“Interestingly, we consider liquid on Earth as that takes the shape of its container,” Koch tells CNN. “Water just turns into a ball in microgravity, so we’ve had to have a new understanding of different kinds of matter in space. This experiment shows how microgravity can help us understand things on Earth, especially the things we take for granted.”
【1】In paragraph one, Nickelodeon is mentioned .
A.to introduce the topic
B.to attract the kids
C.to make advertisements
D.to share a TV show
【2】Why are the experiments with slime designed in space ?
A.Because they get students interested in space.
B.Because slime takes the shape of its container.
C.Because slime is popular with kids in the TV show.
D.Because they help us understand how slime acts in space.
【3】What is Koch’s attitude towards the experiment with slime?
A.Puzzled.
B.Worried.
C.Uninterested.
D.Positive.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A.Microgravity makes a difference to matters.
B.Astronauts join the slime in space for science.
C.Kids join the slime so as to become astronauts.
D.Experiments are designed with slimy slime.
