Lucas Longhurst,a former soldier,who sees school buses as vehicles for possibilities,now works with high
school students to transform retired school buses into useful spaces to help their communities.
After leaving the military,Longhurst,seeking freedom and adventure,spent six months turning his first
。

school bus into a rolling home.Locals began coming by to look at his bus and word spread that Longhurst had
created something unusual and usable.In 2016,Longhurst was hired to build a bus as a mobile clinic to teaeh
underserved communities.That experience planted a seed-he saw how a bus could go beyond mobility and
become a lifeline.He wondered how he could expand that vision further.
Then in 2023,Waggener High School students in a low-income area approached him for help.They were
members of the school's Black Student Union(BSU).One of them noticed that every time he came to school,he
would see classmates with junk food."We realized that part of town had only two grocery stores to serve about
60.000 people,"a student said.Therefore,they decided to create a bus program,Grub on Wheels,which would
deliver free,fresh foods to underserved areas.
Longhurst met regularly with the students ta review designs and determine what he could build.They raised
$40,000,and Longhurst personally donated $5,330 to help cover the cost.They cleared out the bus and raised its
roof."We want a lot of space inside the bus for shelving and a sink,and also set up solar panels and generators,"
said a student.When completed,the bus will be a space where students will deliver food and clothes for charity
drives,host events and also lead workshops.
"It's more like creating usable art than traditional building,"said Longhurst."And I wanted to share that
inspiration with more people."
24.What inspired Longhurst to use a bus to help people?
A.His work creating a rolling home.
B.The locals'admiration for his work.
C.His experience building a mobile clinic.
D.The students'request for food delivery.
25.Why was Grub on Wheels launched?
A.To give away healthy food.
B.To increase local income.
C.To serve as an art workshop.
D.To replace traditional stores.
26.What can be inferred about Grub on Wheels?
A.It was designed by students.
B.It will serve multiple functions.
C.It has already been put into use.
D.It was mainly funded by Longhurst.
27.What can best describe Longhurst?
A.Patient and profit-seeking.
B.Creative and public-spirited.
C.Disciplined and book-smart.
D.Competitive and solution-focused.

Many people are used to switching tasks frequently:checking mobile messages while reading documents,
answering sudden work requests in the middle of study,or replying to social chats when concentrating on thinking.
You may think you are being productive,but chances are you are hurting your brain more than helping it.Modern
cegnitive (psychology research suggests that constant interruption decreases thinking efficiency more
than most people imagine.
Researchers carried out a controlled experiment for office staff.One group worked without intentional
interruption,while the other group received scheduled message reminders every 15 minutes.Statistics showed that
the interrupted group's work error rate rose by 42%,and their sense of mental exhaustion increased obviously
even with the same working hours.Psychologists explained that the human prefrontal cortex (cannot
process two sets of complex logical information at the same time.So-called multitasking is actually rapid forced
switching between tasks.Every interruption will make the brain lose the built-up logical context,and it takes an
average of 23 minutes for focused thinking to fully recover.Frequent task switches consume massive cognitive
energy on state adjustment,leaving insufficient mental resources for core reasoning and memory sorting.
This phenomenon is particularly concerning in the modern workplace,where employees are often expected
to handle emails,messages,and meetings at the same time.One of the reasons why this is problematic is that
fragmented (work reduces not only individual productivity but also the depth of thinking required for
creative problem-solving.In other words,multitasking may create the impression of busyness while reducing the
quality of our output.
This cognitive law applies to student learning and workplace management alike.Setting fixed concentrated
working periods,turning off non-essential message reminders,and gathering minor chores for unified processing
can effectively avoid unnecessary interruption.Understanding this psychological feature helps people get rid of
fragmented distraction and rebuild efficient long-time focused thinking ability.
28.What finding do modern cognitive psychology studies come to?
A.Productivity declines during difficult tasks.
B.It is well accepted to switch tasks frequently.
C.The thinking efficiency varies with task types.
D.People underestimate the harm of interruption.
29.Why is true multitasking impossible for humans?
A.Mental resources are used up in cognition.
B.Brains are not naturally structured this way.
C.Interruptions delay logical thinking process.
D.Task-switching cuts people's working hours.
30.What measure does the text suggest against fragmented distraction?
A.Raise people's problem-solving ability.
B.Deal with emails whenever they arrive.
C.Schedule specific deep work time blocks
D.Finish the less important at one's free time.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Why Constant Task Switching Tires Your Brain
B.How Students Can Improve Learning Efficiency
C.The Advantages of Long-time Focused Thinking
D.New Findings on Human Brain Memory System

On September 1,1985,Dr.Robert Ballard and his crew spotted one of Titanic's boilers.They erupted with
cheers.By the time of the crew's discovery,73 years had passed since the ship sank.Several missions had set off
to look for it,including a 1977 one led by Ballard.
In the early 1980s,Ballard asked the U.S.Navy to fund the development of the Argo,an unmanned camera
sled that could be dragged behind a surface ship at depths of up to 20,000 feet.The Navy were interested in using
the Argo to survey the wrecks(沉船)of the U.S.S.Thresher and Scorpion,wo nuclear submarines(潜水艇)that
had been lost in the North Atlantic.They eventually agreed that if Ballard could successfully locate and map the
two subs,he could use whatever time left to look for Titanic.
While photographing Thresher and Scorpion,Ballard ngticed that the current had carried debris (H)from
the ships as they fell to the seafloor,creating a long chain.With this in mind,he decided not to search for Titanic's
main body.Instead,he would use Argo to search for its much larger debris track,which might stretch as far as a
mile.Once he found it,he could use it to track down the ship itself.With the new approach,after a few days,they
discovered the boiler.Argo stalked the debris track,and the following morning,Titanic's bow came out of the
inky depths.
"The Titanic lies now in 13,000 feet of water,"Ballard said at a press conference,"There is no light at this
great depth and little life can be found.It is a quiet and peaceful place-and a fitting place for the remains of this
greatest of sea tragedies to rest.Forever may it remain that way."
32.Why did the Navy support the development of the Argo?
A.To develop underwater robots.
B.To locate the wreck of Titanic.
C.To find two nuclear submarines.
D.To map the North Atlantic.
33.What gave Ballard inspiration for the new search method?
A The 1977 search attempt.
B.The surface ship with the Argo.
C.The photographs of Titanic.
D.The debris chain of the submarines.
34.What does the underlined word"stalked"in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Traced.
B.Recognized.
C.Cleared.
D.Dragged.
35.What is the purpose of Ballard's statement at the press conference?
A.To share the exact position of Titanic.
B.To advocate leaving Titanic undisturbed.
C.To launch surveys on sea tragedies.
D.To show respect for Ballard's crew.

What Makes Social Media Posts Popular
Today,social media has become an essential part of modern life.People share stories and ideas online to win
likes and attention.However,posts differ greatly in popularity:some become popular quickly,while others get
almost no notice.36 In fact,plenty of studies prove that the popularity of online content depends on
three major facrors rather than pure luck.
37 Firstly,emotional expression and vivid visual effects attract more attention.Posts that carry true
feelings are far more likely to be shared than those filled with empty words.Besides,interactive designs and
sincere personal experiences also work wonders.As Al-edited content floods the internet,authentic materials have
gradually become the most appealing choice for ordinary viewers.
Apart from content quality,your social connections also make a big difference.People used to believe that
close friends and relatives could help posts reach more people.In fact,loose ties and diverse social groups can
push information to a much wider range of audiences and keep posts popular for a longer time.38
Last but not least,the creator's own qualities are equally important.If you focus on a certain field such as
food or movies,you will gather a group of loyal fans.Viewers tend to support creators who are reliable and
willing to share practical thoughts.39 This kind of positive interaction will bring steady support to
your online posts.
To sum up,online content popularity depends on careful preparation rather than pure luck.This general trend
is decided by the three major factors.40Keeping them in mind,you will make your posts more
competitive online.
A.It is content quality that matters most.
B.Thus,such connections simply work better.
C.People often ignore these practical suggestions.
D.A good title is also important to draw people's attention.
E.Therefore,trust will naturally form between the two sides.
F.These key rules explain why some posts win wide popularity.
G.This phenomenon makes many users curious about the real reasons.

When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades,I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from
school alone if the weather permitted.One warm spring day,a little dog followed them home after school.It had
short legs and long lovely ears,with a fawn-colored coat.It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls
begged me to keep it.
The dog was barely twelve weeks old.It had no collar or identifying marks of any sort.I didn't know what to
do.I thought about running an advertisement in the lost-and-found but I really didn't want to.It would break the
kids'hearts if someone should show up.Besides,its owners should have watched it more closely.
By the end of the week the dog was part of our family.It was very intelligent and good with the girls.The
following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper.One particular
advertisement jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read.Someone was begging for the
return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school.They sounded desperate.My hand shook.I couldn't
bring myself to pick up the phone.
Instead,I pretended I hadn't seen the advertisement.I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued
with my dusting.I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.
By now we had named the dog.It looked like a Molly,so that was what we called it.It followed the girls
everywhere they went.When they went outside,it was one step behind them.When they did housework,it was
there to lend a hand.
There was only one problem with this otherwise perfect picture:my conscience (was bothering me.I
knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking.It was
the most difficult thing I've ever done.
