Heat Domes:Invisible Traps of Extreme Heat
Heat Dome
Have you ever wondered why some areas experience
High pressura
unusually high temperatures for several days or even
stays in one plaoe
weeks?One possible reason is a weather phenomenon
called a heat dome.A heat dome occurs when a large
Hot alr gets trapped

extended period of time.Like an invisible cover above
the Earth,it prevents hot air from escaping and causes

and keeps the heat in.
temperatures near the ground to rise quickly.
The Effects of a Heat Dome
A heat dome can bring scorching heat and
器小
extremely dry conditions.During such events,
tcmpcratures may climb above 40C,crcating
dangerous conditions for people,animals,and
plants.Unlike ordinary hot days,heat domes
often continue through the night.As a result,
the luman body has less time to recover from the heat,increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses.
Why Are Heat Domes Becoming More Common?
Scientists suggest that climate change may be one
important factor behind the increasing frequency of
heat domes.Rising global temperatures can influence
10
ocean conditions and atmospheric patterns,making
extreme weather events more likely to occur.
However,researchers are still studying the
1000
位
relationship between climate change and heat domes.
Protecting Ourselves from Extreme Heat
When a heat dome arrives,people should take
precautions to protect their health.Drinking
enough water,staying indoors during the hottest
parts of the day,and avoiding intense physical
activities are effective ways to reduce the danger.
In some cases,visiting air-conditioned public
places can also help people stay safe.
Heat domes remind us that weather systems can have a powerful impact on our daily lives.By
learning about these events,we can better prepare for future challenges and protect both ourselves
and the environment.

68.Why does the writer compare a heat dome to an "invisible cover"?
A Because it blocks sunlight completely.
B.Because it keeps hot air from moving away.
C.Because it creates clouds above the Earth.

A.A natural event that can be observed.

Have you ever wondered what happens inside your brain while you sleep?Every night,you
experience73 sleep cycles made up of light sleep,deep sleep and REM sleep-the
dreaming stage.Of these stages,deep sleep 74 most,as brain waves slow to their lowest
level,activating the brain's waste-clearing glymphatic system(胶状淋巴系统).
Brain cells constantly use energy to support thinking,learning,and studying.As a result,they
produce harmful waste products that need to be removed.The glymphatic system flushes this
75 out with brain fluid,just likc a built-in dishwasher.Danish scicntist Maiken Nedcrgaard
and her team uncovered what76 this cleaning process.
Their research showed that a chemical called norepinephrine (NE)plays a central role in this
process.In deep sleep,the brainstem releases small bursts of NE every 50 seconds.This makes
tiny brain blood vessels shrink and expand repeatedly.As the volume of blood shifts back and
forth,it forces brain fluid to circulate,77 mini pumps to sweep waste away.When you
get enough high-quality sleep,norepinephrine(去甲肾上腺素)cleans your brain_7&_
Yet lack of sleep stops this nightly clean-up,letting toxic waste accumulate.
To support this essential brain maintenance,you need sufficient deep sleep.79 a fixed
bedtime to regulate your body clock,avoid screens one hour before bed,and read to calm your
mind.These simple 80 keep your mind clear daily and protect long-term brain health.
So,give your brain the rest it needs and allow it to refresh itself overnight.

A.They have found that curious people are more likely to look for information,ask questions and

B.In the age of information,people need to think carefully and choose useful information from

Curiosity:The Power Behind Discovery
Have you ever wondered why the sky changes colours at suset or how birds know where to
fly?These questions may seem simple,but they show an important human ability-curiosity.
Curiosity is the desire to learn and understand something new.81From a young
age,children ask many questions because they want to explore the world around them.Although
ouriosity may sometimes lead to uexpected ideas,it helps people discover new things and solve
problems.
Many researchers have studied the connection between curiosity and learning.82
In 2015,a study showed that when people were curious about a topic,they could remember
information more easily.The researchers found that curiosity could improve memory by about 30
pcrcent in somc situations.
Curiosity also encourages people to leamn by themselves.When students are interested in a
subject,they do not learn only because teachers ask them to.Instead,they search for answers,read
more books and try different ways to understand the topic.83
Many great discoveries begin with a simple question.Scientists,inventors and artists often
start their work because they are curious about something.Their curiosity encourages them to
explore,experiment and create.
However,curiosity needs to be guided in the right way.Asking questions is important,but
finding reliable answers is equally important.84
Curiosity is like a small seed.With careful attention and continuous learning,it can grow into
great ideas and discoveries.So,never be afraid to ask questions-your curiosity may lead you to
something amazing.

The Lesson Beyond Success
Fifteen-year-old Lily Chen was a member of her school's science club.She was not the most
experienced student in the group,but she was well-known for her creative ideas and ability to
solve problems in unusual ways.Her classmates believed that she had great potential,although
Lily often doubted whether she was good enough.
This year,the science club started preparing for a national invention competition.A new coach,
Ms Wang,became the team leader.Unlike other coaches,Ms Wang was very strict about every
detail.She required students to test their ideas again and again,and every mistake had to be
recorded and analyzed.
At first,Lily cnjoyed the challcngo.Howover,after wccks of ropcatod experimcnts,sho
became disappointed.Many of her designs failed,and she started to worry that she might
disappoint her team.Some students wanted to give up,but Ms Wang told them,"Failure is notthe
opposite of success.It is part of the process of finding better solutions."
A few days before the competition,Lily's most important experiment failed again.Instead of
blaming her,Ms Wang quietly placed Lily's project notebook on the table and wrote a short
message on the first page::“87”
Lily read the message several times.She suddenly realized that she had been paying too much
attention to getting the perfect result and had ignored what she could leamn from each failure.She
began to carefully study every mistake,change her methods,and improve her design step by step.
On the day of the competition,Lily's invention was not the most advanced one,but it showed
clear improvement and careful thinking.The judges praised her ability to solve problems and lear
from mistakes.Although she did not win the first prize,Lily felt proud because she had discovered
a more important ability.
After the competition,Ms Wang smiled and said,"You have leamed the most important
lesson.”
Lily finally understood that becoming a better inventor was not only about creating successful
products,but also about improving herself through practice,mistakes and challenges.
Task 1:Answer the questions.
85.What spccial ability madc Lily difforont from othor studcnts?
86.Why did Lily become disappointed during the preparation for the competition?
87.What might the message say?Fill in the blank with your own words.
(No more than 8 words)
