Money on the Mind
Money is on our minds—and these days, it’s taking up more space than ever. The latest research shows Americans are spending nearly 4 hours a day thinking about money. For younger generations, it’s even more. This report explores the behavioral shifts, and the surprising motivations(动机)behind our collective financial mindset.
Americans spend nearly 4 hours a day thinking about money. It’s the equivalent of a part-time job, and this amount of time is more than what most people spend on meal preparation and exercise combined. Nearly half of Americans (45%) say thinking about money motivates them to take action to reach their long-term goals.
Here’s a breakdown of financial topics Americans are thinking about.
Topic
Percentage
Bills
57%
Inflation & rising prices
51%
Housing costs
34%
Debt
30%
Tariffs
28%
Retirement savings
24%
Because prices are rising and many people are worried about money, Americans are spending less in daily life. About 53% of them eat out less often. Around 46% buy fewer things that they do not really need. About 40% spend less money on entertainment (娱乐),while 39% choose to postpone trips or vacations. In addition, 33% stop using some subscription services, and 29% give up some social activities with friends. Nearly one fourth of Americans change their spending habits every month because of money problems, and 17%do this every week.
Money mindset: focus on the future
Americans can’t stop thinking about their finances, but for many, it’s because they are dreaming of a bright future. More than half of Americans (56%) say they feel confident they will reach their financial goals.
21. What percentage of Americans’ financial topics do housing costs account for?
A. 34%. B. 30%. C. 28%. D. 24%.

I was born in Wyoming’s Green River Valley, where my family settled in the 1870s. Even today, many of my cousins still live there. Growing up in the valley, I learned to love the open land and wildlife around us.
For the past 19 years, I have worked as the director of the Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resource Trust (WWNRT). Every year, the trust provides about $10 million for conservation projects across the state. These projects include protecting farmland and wildlife habitats, improving rivers, and helping local farms.
The Green River Valley was one of the first places where we started conservation easements. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested (投资) in the Green River Valley. It’s viewed as an investment in the future, so that the next generation has the opportunity to make a living in agriculture and to raise their kids that way. And that’s very powerful.
People in the Green River Valley have always cared deeply about nature. Many landowners hope their children can continue farming and living there in the future. However, as more buildings appeared in the area, people began to worry. They feared that wildlife habitats and farmland would slowly disappear.
Because of this, many landowners chose easement to protect their family land. Some wanted money to improve their farms, while others hoped to reduce debt. Although their reasons were different, they all shared a strong wish to protect the land.
I think one important reason for success in Wyoming is teamwork. They all must pitch in when needed. They try their best. Everybody plays a slightly different role at different times, among the state, the land trusts and other conservation organizations.
Today, housing development remains the biggest threat to wildlife habitats. Still, people in this state have a deep love for wildlife, for open spaces, for protecting habitats. It’s sincere and real.
24. What does the WWNRT do according to the text?
A. It moves wildlife to safer places. B. It builds houses for locals in need.
C. It funds projects to protect farmland. D. It calls on locals to dig new rivers.
25. Which best describes the impact of the WNNRT on the Green River Valley?
A. One-sided. B. Short-lived. C. Significant. D. Replaceable.
26. What does the underlined phrase “pitch in” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Be recognized. B. Do their part. C. Change their mind. D. Be examined.
27. What does the last paragraph suggest about Wyoming people?
A. They lose interest in wildlife. B. They truly care about nature.
C. They prefer building more houses. D. They expect help from other states.
C
Just a few soft sounds from a ukulele can help people feel calm and relaxed. Because of this special power of music, Lorrie Kubicek, a music therapist (治疗师), often encourages patients with cancer or other serious illnesses to learn the instrument. In this way, patients can face difficult treatment with a more positive attitude.
“Instead of saying ‘I have to go to the hospital for my chemo (化疗)’, patients start saying ‘I have to go to the hospital for my ukulele lesson’,” Kubicek says.
Music therapy is not only a pleasant activity, but also shows how music and medicine can work together. In fact, music has been connected with healing for a very long time. After World War Ⅱ, music therapy was used to help soldiers improve both their physical and mental health.
In music therapy, patients may sing songs, write music, play instruments, listen to music, or move to the beat. Studies show that these activities can help relieve stress, make them painless, improve sleep, and increase focus.
“Music connects you to a part of yourself that’s well,” Kubicek says. “Music remains, no matter what challenges a person is facing.”
Unlike simply listening to music through headphones during treatment, music therapy is more personal. Patients do not need 1any musical experience to take part in it. Before treatment begins, the therapist talks with each patient to learn about their interests and problems. Then the therapist uses suitable musical activities to help the patient reach personal goals.
A recent research review has shown that music therapy can greatly reduce anxiety during medical treatment. “To maximize the therapy’s benefits, find a balance between taking risks and staying in your comfort zone,” Kubicek advises. “When we’re exploring music, often we’re trying something new for the first time,” she says. “Find that ‘stretch zone’, because you don’t know the full effect of what music can do for you until you try.”
28. Why does Kubicek encourage patients to learn the ukulele?
A. To reduce their cost of medical care. B. To prepare them for public activities.
C. To improve their performance on stage. D. To enable them to face treatment positively.
29. What benefit can music therapy bring to patients?
A. Developing professional musical skills. B. Reducing stress and physical discomfort.
C. Avoiding all side effects during treatment. D. Recovering from illness without much medicine.
30. What can be inferred about music therapy from the text?
A. It focuses on personal needs. B. It has been widely used in hospital.
C. It depends on technology. D. It works better in groups.
31. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. How to Become a Music Therapist B. A Way to Learn Music
C. The History of Medical Treatment D. Music as Medicine

For decades, NASA has advanced on-board spacecraft computer processors that perform the functions needed to support mission success.
Space computing began in the 1960s during the Apollo missions. At that time, Apollo Guidance Computer played an important role in guidance, navigation, and control. Later, special processors that could work under strong radiation (辐射) became widely used in space exploration.
NASA has successfully used computers on Mars rovers, orbiters, and space telescopes. These processors have worked for years in extreme conditions. However, future space missions will become longer and more complex. As a result, scientists need computers with stronger computing power and greater independence.
In this case, NASA worked with a company to develop a new technology called High Performance Spaceflight Computing. This new system can provide more than 100 times the computing power of older processors. It also combines computing and networking in one device, which helps reduce energy use and system cost.
The new processors include different types for different mission needs. One version is designed for deep-space missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. It can work safely in difficult environments and support real-time autonomous tasks. Another version provides fault tolerance (容错性) and cybersecurity for low Earth orbit satellites.
Using advanced Ethernet to connect multiple sensors(感应器) or collect several chips, High Performance Spaceflight Computing technology allows spacecraft to process large amounts of data onboard and autonomously make real-time decisions, such as driving rovers at high speeds or sorting scientific images. Continuous system health monitoring and an integrated security controller ensure these complex operations remain safe and reliable.
This technology is not only useful for space missions. Similar processors may also be used in medical equipment, communication services, artificial intelligence, aviation, and energy systems on Earth. By sharing the same technology in space and daily life, the new system may reduce risk and cost for both government and commercial users.
32. Why does NASA need a new generation of space processors?
A. Future missions require more advanced systems.
B. Spacecraft now depends less on computer systems.
C. Scientists hope to take part in more space missions.
D. Older processors cannot work in a difficult environment any more.
33. What can we know about the new processors for different missions?
A. They are operated only in deep space. B. They demand separate networks.
C. They are designed with special functions. D. They mainly work for scientific research.
34. What is an advantage of the new computing technology?
A. It features immediate decisions in space. B. It controls all satellites from Earth.
C. It cuts the number of space missions. D. It replaces sensors on spacecraft.
35. What does the author want to illustrate about the new technology?
A. It will definitely reshape space exploration. B. It is mainly developed for business use.
C. It can solve every problem in space travel. D. It may affect both space and daily life.

Overcoming the Fear of the Unknown
The first step in overcoming fear is to admit it openly and honestly. Many people ignore their fear of the unknown, hoping it will disappear. 36 Instead, accept the fear: It is natural to feel afraid when facing uncertainty. Admitting your fear lets you take control rather than be controlled by it.
37 . The unknown feels overwhelming (无法抗拒的) because of unpredictable (难以预料的) factors, but E you can always influence some parts of a situation. List these controllable elements, such as your preparation, attitude, and effort when starting something new. Moving attention from what you cannot change to what you can change can reduce anxiety, making uncertainty feel more manageable.
How you see the unknown directly affects your fear. If you only view L uncertainty as possible failure, your fear will grow. 38 This shift (改变) in mindset can let you welcome new possibilities.
Overcoming fear does not need big steps; small and steady actions work better. Challenge yourself with small daily uncertainties, like trying a new food or taking a different path. Each small step builds confidence, slowly enlarging your comfort zone. 39
Mindfulness helps calm anxiety and keeps you realistic in uncertainty. 40 . When anxious thoughts appear, focus on the present. Regular mindfulness builds a calm, balanced way to face the unknown, helping you deal with uncertainty gently and effectively.
A. Focus on what you can control
B. However, pretending fear does not exist only gives it more power
C. But if you can see it as a chance for learning, everything will change
D. Reflecting on the past good experiences can improve your confidence
E. Techniques like mindful observation pull you back from future worries
F. Seeking support from others can provide you with different perspective
G. These small wins add up, making the unknown less frightening over time

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The twenty-year-old Rohan lived a quiet, dusty life in the village of Ambar, working in his uncle’s small spice (香料) shop. The spices smelled wonderful, but Rohan felt bored. His days followed the same path, leading nowhere new, and every morning felt like a copy of the day before. He had no big enough dreams to pursue.
One afternoon, when Rohan was tasked with cleaning the attic (阁楼) of his grandfather’s old house, he found a musical instrument, long and elegant. He recognized it immediately as a sarod, an instrument of classical Indian music. It belonged to his grandfather, a man he couldn’t remember clearly. Rohan carefully wiped the dust away. He pulled a string (弦). It was a voice he had never heard, yet somehow understood perfectly. He also found an old, faded instruction book hidden inside the sarod case. The lessons were complex and needed extreme patience.
His first attempts were terrible. His neighbors complained. His uncle laughed at him. But Rohan ignored them all. He decided he would learn to play. This sudden decision was unless anything he had felt before. The spark had been lit inside him. He spent his evenings practicing. He practiced in a hidden shed(棚屋) behind the house. He did not aim for perfection, but for daily practice.
He understood that mastery was not a single big leap, but a million tiny, repeated steps. Each day, he spent precisely one hour with the sarod. His fingers hurt and his shoulders ached, but the one hour was very important. Slowly, the noise began to change. The rough sounds softened into notes. The notes organized themselves into short, sweet pieces of music.
The change in Rohan was obvious. He still weighed spices, but his step was lighter. His eyes, once dull, now looked focused. He had found his purpose, and it was not in the spice shop, but in the shed. One day, an old master musician, Shankar-ji, passed through Ambar on his way to the city.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Shankar-ji passed the shed, he heard the sound.
Before leaving, Shankar-ji arranged a small concert in the village square.
