B In my living room,there is a plaque (that advises me to "Bloom where you are planted." It reminds me of Dorothy.I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s,when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville,Kentucky.The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of cach teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who"bloomed"in her remote area. Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County,Kentucky,Appalachian Mountain area.To get to her school from the town of Harlan,I followed a road winding around the mountain.In the eight-mile journey,I crossed the same railroad track five times,giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times.Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains,I found it depressing.The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness. From the moment of my arrival at the little school,all gloom ()disappeared.Upon arriving at Dorothy's classroom,I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen.The children had been prepared to show me theu latest projects.Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for"dinner"(lunch).In case you don't know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild,especially on poor ground Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students.Her esthusiasm never cooled down.When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive the Child Development Associate Certification,Dorothy was ready.She came to the assessment and passed in all areas.Afterwards,she invited me to the one-and-only steakhouse in the area to celebrate her victory,as if she had just received her Ph.D.degree.After the meal,she placed in my hand a small box containing an old pen.She said it was a family heirloom(传家宝)，but to me, it was a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride-one that cannot be matched by anything else. 24."Early Childhood Development"in Paragraph 1 refers to A.a program directed by Dorothy B.a course given by the author C.an activity held by the students D.an organization sponsored by Union College 25.Upon arriving at the classroom,the author was cheered up by A.a warm welcome B.the sight of poke greens C.Dorothy's latest projects D.a big dinner made for her 餐巴扫描全能王 然病g人影在用的日带Ae 。-。。。一 26.What can wc know about Dorothy from the last poragraph? A.She was invited to a cclebration at a rcstaurant. B.She got a pen as a gift from the author. C.She passed the required assessment D.She reccived her Ph.D.degrce. 27.What does the author mainly intend to tell us? A.Whatever you do,you must do it carefully B.Whoever you are,you deserve equal treatment. C.However poor you are,you have the right to education. D.Wherever you are,you can accomplish your achievement C Pcople consistently underestimate how much others in their social circle might appreciate an unexpected phone call,text or email just to say hello,and the more surprising the connection,the greater the appreciation,according to a new study. In the study,researchers from the University of Pittsburgh conducted several experiments involving more than 5,900 participants.In one experiment,half of the participants were asked to recall the last time they reached out to someone in their social circle after a prolonged period of not interacting with them.The rest were asked to recall a similar situation in which someone had reached out to them.Participants were then asked to indicate on a 7-point scale (how much they or the person they had contacted had appreciated the gesture.People who recalled reaching out believed the gesture was significantly less appreciated than those who recalled receiving a communication. In other experiments,participants sent a short note,or a small gift,to someone in their social circle with whom they had not interacted in a while.Similar to the previous experiment, participants who initiated (contact were asked to rate on a 7-point scale the extent to which they thought the recipient would appreciate or feel grateful for the contact.After the notes or gifts were sent,researchers also asked the recipients to rate their appreciation. Across all experiments,those who initiated the communication significantly underestimated the extent to which recipients would appreciate the act of reaching out.Besides,the researchers found that people receiving the communication placed greater focus than those initiating the communication on the surprise element,and this heightened focus on surprise was associated with higher appreciation."We also found that people underestimated others'appreciation to a greater extent when the communication was more surprising,as opposed to part of a regular communication pattern,or the social ties between the two participants were weak,"added lead author Peggy Liu Initiating social contact after a prolonged period of disconnection can be daunting because 篮1 署田全任 people worry about how such a gesture might be received.But thesc findings suggest that thcir hesitations may be unnecessary,as othcrs are likely to appreciate being reached out to more than people think. 28.How did the researchers conduct the experiments? A.By listing argumcnts. B.By giving examples C.By making assumptions. D By making comparisons. 29.According to paragraph 3,what were the participants asked to do? A.To rank their appreciation. B.To make an unexpected call. C.To express their thoughts. D.To do the same experiments. 30.Based on the research,who would show higher appreciation? A.One receiving a gift of great value.B.One often contacted by a close friend. C.One connected quite unexpectedly.D.One making regular contacts with others. 31.What does the underlined word"daunting"in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Unbearable.B.Discouraging.C.Illogical.D.Immoral. D Research shows that when social media use is high,depression is also high.But the question is-is that because social media causes that person to be depressed?Or is it because people who are depressed tend to also use social media more,and spend less time exercising and being in green spaces?"That is what we wanted to understand,"says Carol Vidal,the first author of the study,a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins Children's Center. In their study,376 young adults in Canada were asked to complete three online questionnaires between May 2021 and January 2022.At each point,participants self-reported depressive symptoms based on the PHQ-9-a nine-item scale that is commonly used to measure depression-as well as social media use,green space exposure,and physical activity. Researchers found that participants who had higher social media use tended to be more depressed,and people who-were more depressed also tended to use social media more.However, researchers found that social media use did not cause an increase or decrease in depressive symptom levels over time. Researchers also found that higher levels of social media use and higher levels of depressive symptoms were associated with lower levels of green space exposure.In addition, higher eveningness was also associated with higher depressive symptom levels. One study author says these results show social media use and depression are associated, but do not provide evidence that greater social media use predicts an increase in depressive symptoms over time.Other professionals in the team also say these findings indicate people who suffer from depression should be careful about the amount of time they spend on social media and should be encouraged to integrate other healthy habits into their lifestyle. i共5页 S扫描全能王 然病1配人群直用的日情A Vidal and other investigators bclieve there arc many aspects to social media,and there are important next steps to lcam more about its impact on the mental health of people of all ages, including youngct children and adolescents. 32.Why did Carol Vidal conduct the study? A.To explore how depression affects social media use. B To investigate if green spaces benefit mental health C.To find the link between social media and depression. D.To determine why social media contributes to depression 33.How did the researchers measure depression in the study? A.By using a nine-item form called PHQ-9 B.By observing the participants'daily behavior. C.By asking the participants'friends and families.

C.Seek professional help regularly.D.Cut down the time on social media. 35.What does the follow-up study aim to find out?

Katie was a very considerate and kind-hearted girl,always trying to keep others from any trouble.Once,when the dormitory lost power while her roommate Windy was studying in the classroom,Katie found herself alone in the dark.Having just finished watching her favorite horror series on American TV,she felt quite scared.Yet not wanting to disturb Windy,she remained alone in the dark dorm until Windy returned.Windy,also a kind person,comforted and cared for Katie,often sharing happy moments to help her relax after stressful study.The two Lived together very harmoniously.
