22、In an attempt to raise awareness about the ability to turn wastewater into safe drinking water, a brewery in Stockholm, Sweden has started a new beer brand made with recycled sewage water(污水).
Called PU: REST, the new beer developed by Stockholm's New Carnegie Brewery together with the Swedish Environmental Research Institute( IVL) and Carlsberg is supposed to convince people that "second hand water" can be as clean as normal tap water. IVL says that the challenge to get people to drink recycled water is not a technological one, but a psychological one, so what better way to convince consumers of the purity of treated wastewater than using it to create a beer?
PU: REST was just born in Sweden on May 25th this year, and it's already being called"crap beer"on social media, but its creators remain hopeful that it will help change the general opinion about recycled wastewater. The difficulties in getting this relatively cost- and energy-efficient method to be used for the production of drinking water is not technical but primarily emotional, "said Staffan PsSon, project manager at IVL."The recycled water is as pure and safe as normal tap water, but most people are still skeptical about actual drinking purified wastewater".
Chris Thurgeson, brewmaster at New Carnegie Brewery, described PU: REST as a"crystal clear pilsner",adding that his company took this challenge because it believes"thal both producers and consumers must dare to think differently if we are to successfully take care of Earth's resources".
PU: REST reportedly has "a very clean and crisp taste", but judging by the comments left on the New Carnegie Brewery Facebook page, consumers arent that excited about it. You can now try PU: REST at New Carnegie Brewery's restaurant in Stockholm, or wait until it goes on sale across Sweden next month.
【1】What's the purpose of developing PU: REST?
A. To make the best of wastewater
B. To reduce the waste of drinking water
C. To prove recycled wastewater is drinkable
D. To appeal to the public to recycle wastewater.
【2】Why is it hard for people to drink recycled water?
A. Recycling water is no easy job
B. They doubt its purity and safety
C. Recycling water costs much money
D. They wouldn't like to change their living habits
【3】What can consumers' attitude toward PU: REST be best described as?
A. Cautious
B. Curious
C. Opposing.
D. Supportive
【4】According to the text, PU: REST is__________.
A. not a new product at all
B. made in a Swedish Institute
C. intended for special consumers
D. unavailable on the market yet

24、Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. 【1】 As you get older, it can be a little bit more difficult to learn a new language, though. With the right approach and a lot of dedication, you can learn a new language just as well. It’s a question of adjusting your mindset.
You can change your expectations. If you start learning after childhood, it’s unlikely you’ll achieve a native accent. But who cares? 【2】 And anyway, who said learning a foreign language has to be about passing as a native? The point of language learning is communicating with other human beings, so dial down the pressure.
You are more financially stable. Mature adult learners are likely to have the increased freedom of choice which comes with being financially established. It’s no secret that spending time abroad immersed (沉浸) in a new culture and a new language supercharges your learning. 【3】
【4】 Adult learners have already achieved fluency in at least one language: their own. Through years of chatting and writing, you’ve mastered a vast amount of knowledge. This knowledge base becomes extremely valuable when learning an additional language, especially if it shares a root with their mother tongue.
You have perspective. Not only can you grasp the kind of motivation and study skills a child can’t, but you also have perspective. 【5】 It’s a window to a new culture, a new perspective on life and gives you the chance to connect with entirely new people. Learning a language is a tool to that end and your skills don’t have to be perfect before you can start gaining those benefits.
A．You are free to do what you want.
B．You have the benefit of previous experience.
C．Fluency means different things to different people.
D．And adult learners can often gift themselves this experience.
E．Thankfully, there are handfuls of ways to learn a language.
F．You know learning a new language is a way to get to know the world.
G．Experts, however, suggest that you’re never too old to learn a new language.
