26、For many people, catching a smell of freshly cut grass is a pleasant sign that warmer weather is here to stay. For the grass, however, this scent signals an entirely different story.

The smell we associate with freshly cut grass is actually a chemical SOS, one used by plants to beg nearby creatures to save them from attack. After all, when danger strikes —whether it's gardening equipment or a hungry caterpillar — plants can't lift their roots and run. They must fight where they stand. To protect themselves, plants employ a string of molecular (分子) responses. These chemical communications can be used to poison an enemy, warn surrounding plants of dangers or attract helpful insects to perform needed services.

Clearly, plants can communicate. But does that mean they can feel pain? According to some researchers, plants release gases that are the equivalent of crying out in pain. Using a laser-powered microphone, researchers have picked up sound waves produced by plants releasing gases when cut or injured. Although not audible to the human ear, the secret voices of plants have revealed that cucumbers scream when they are sick, and flowers cry when their leaves are cut.

There's also evidence that plants can hear themselves being eaten. Researches show that plants understand and respond to chewing sounds made by caterpillars dining on them. As soon as the plants hear the noises, they respond with several defense mechanisms.

For some researchers, evidence of these complex communication systems — giving out noises via gas when in pain — signals that plants feel pain. Others argue that there cannot be pain without a brain to register the feeling. Still more scientists infer that plants can exhibit intelligent behavior without possessing a brain or conscious awareness.

As they grow, plants can change their paths to avoid obstacles or reach for support with their tendrils (卷须). This activity comes from a complex biological network distributed through the plants' roots, leaves and stems. This network helps plants reproduce, grow and survive.

【1】What does the smell of freshly cut grass signal?

A．Warmer weather.

B．Being poisonous.

C．Cry for help.

D．The need of services.

【2】How do plants convey their pain?

A．By giving out gases.

B．By changing the color of their leaves.

C．By producing audible sound waves.

D．By sharing it through the root systems.

【3】What makes plants' intelligent behavior possible?

A．Their tendrils.

B．Their biological network.

C．Their communication systems.

D．Their conscious awareness.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Do plants feel pain?

B．How plants protect themselves?

C．Do plants communicate?

D．How plants grow and reproduce?

27、University — the best days of my life! I made lots of friends in my student dorm, went to great parties, joined the debating society... and, well, I did some work too — but I must admit that my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness (拖沓).

It is easy to look back at our university days in good ways but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus, most of us were out of our comfort zone. In fact, a survey of students at Imperial College London has showed that 3 out of 4 students experience high levels of stress, or a mental health condition, during their time at college. The survey, conducted by over a thousand students, also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week, and 9% of them feel stressed constantly.

Kristy, a student at Exeter University, didn’t enjoy her first days in college. She says: “When I first got to university I don’t think I’d realized that I’d forgotten how to make friends. I’d been with the same school friends for seven years, and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite at a young age."

Dr. Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunei University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university. She says: “Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life — to do the washing, to do the cleaning and so on— being able to cook. Budgeting(预算) is extremely important in university life.” And Caleb adds: “You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably.”

I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way. I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump.

【1】How does the writer feel about his university life?

A. Challenging but wonderful.

B. Busy and tiring.

C. Dull and stressful.

D. Boring but successful.

【2】Which is true about students who first enter university?

A. Most of them suffer from frequent stress.

B. Most of them find it hard to manage their life.

C. They fail to balance social and academic life.

D. They feel as comfortable as they expect.

【3】Dr. Ruth Caleb thinks budgeting is of great importance because it_________.

A. helps students put everything in place

B. helps students live independently

C. makes students' university life easier

D. does good to students’ social relationships

【4】Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part in the last paragraph?

A. Become very successful.

B. Make great progress.

C. Get used to university life

D. Go to university.

28、Fear of missing out or FOMO is "a common fear that others might be having wonderful experiences from which one is absent". FOMO leads us to check social media more often, leading to feelings of unhappiness, loneliness, and boredom. 【1】

Change your focus

【2】 You can change your desire that causes your FOMO. “Meritocracy（精英）society” is thought of highly today, but in fact, everyone owns their own success. Try to focus on building your own path to success and do what you like.

Keep a diary

It is common to post on social media to keep a record of the fun things you do. However, you may find yourself noticing too much about whether your experiences online are liked. If so, you may try to keep a personal diary on paper. It can help you to change your focus from pleasing others to enjoying yourself. 【3】

Seek out real connections.

You may find yourself seeking a greater connection when you are feeling unhappy or anxious. 【4】 Feelings of loneliness or exclusion（排斥）are actually our brain's way of telling us that we want to seek greater connections with others and increase our sense of belonging（归属感）. 【5】 Talking with families, making plans with friends, or creating a group outing that can help you to shake that feeling that you are missing out.

A．And this is healthy.

B．But this does no good.

C．Here are a few helpful tips that may help you to deal with the problem.

D．Rather than focusing on what you haven't, try noticing what you have.

E．This change can sometimes help you to get out of the cycle of FOMO.

F．Rather than depending on social media, why not meet up with someone in person?

G．The key is to avoid checking social media and being controlled by outside world

29、Many people want to know more about ways to be kinder, more caring neighbors.【1】, they are also helpful to the parents and adults in the room.

Get to know your neighbors

【2】. Get out of your comfort zone and make an effort to learn their names and what they do for work. And if you feel comfortable, let them know that you’re there to help, if they ever need another hand. Or it’s truly as simple as saying hello, introducing yourself and asking an open-ended question.

Make small kind gestures a daily practice

Another way to take care of your neighborhood, and to show your neighbors that you care, is by making small acts of kindness a daily practice.【3】. Use the skills and resources available to you. Remember, every small gesture counts.

Remind yourself that being connected feels good

It can feel so easy to just go home, close your door and turn on the TV without having to make small talk. However, connecting with others is worth the effort. Reaching out to new people can actually make you happy in the long run. And if you take the first step, your small acts of kindness can encourage others to pay that kindness forward.【4】.

【5】

Encouraging your kids to get out there and engage with(与……接触) your neighbors is important, but it isn’t always easy to balance this with conversations on safety and the socalled stranger danger. One way to fight against this stranger danger outlook is by reachingout of your comfort zone and engaging with different people in your neighborhood alongside your kids.

A．Meet and engage with different people

B．That action will make even more people feel good

C．While many of these tips below are for young people

D．If you look for persons with the same interests and passion

E．Neighbors are of great benefit to all the people in the community

F．Getting to know your neighbors is the first step to becoming a kind neighbor

G．This can be cleaning up litter or even cleaning up after the pets on your block
