Rick’s grandma is over seventy years old. These days, her memory is getting much worse. Last weekend, Rick visited her and found some strange changes. She kept calling Rick Johnny. It was Rick’s father’s name. When Rick wanted to eat cookies, she told him those snacks were kept for her grandson, not realizing Rick was exactly that grandson.

Rick felt really sad and worried about her condition. He talked with his classmate Chen Ping. Chen’s grandpa also has some memory problems. Chen told Rick that old people’s memory usually gets worse little by little as they grow older. His grandpa once forgot the way to the park, so Chen walks him there every weekend.

Chen shared a useful idea with Rick: do not only pay attention to the things the old lady forgets. We should keep in mind all the warm happy memories she still holds. Rick’s grandma still remembers that he loves cookies very much, and this warm memory is very valuable.

The two boys discussed what they could do for the elderly with poor memory. They decided to look back on happy family moments together, such as picnics and traditional opera shows. They planned to take many new photos and make a family photo album (相册) for Rick’s grandma. Looking at pictures can help her recall more warm stories from the past.

Rick finally understood sadness cannot solve the problem. Instead of feeling upset, he should stay with his grandma and create more new sweet memories with her.

For generations（几代人）, people in Badeng Village of Metog, Xizang, lived a quiet but hard life deep in the Himalayas. Xin Xiangdong, a 51-year-old bamboo maker from the Monba ethnic group（民族）, still remembers the old days. At that time, “living off the mountains” meant very tiring work.

When he was a teenager, Xin had to walk for eight days along dangerous mountain paths（小路） and cross rivers by zip lines（溜索）, carrying his hand-made bamboo baskets to trade for flour（面粉） and oil. High mountains and fast rivers separated the village from the outside world. It was just like a lonely island.

The villagers’ big dream came true after the Metog Highway was built. In 2013, roads started to connect these faraway places with the outside world. In 2021, all villagers moved to a new place with modern houses. They no longer needed to carry heavy things on their backs. Now trucks and tourists can come right to their homes. Smooth roads take the place of narrow old paths. The Monba people can show their special culture and bamboo products to visitors from across China easily.

Today, Badeng Village is developing well. In 2025, the village made more than 8 million yuan. Most of the money came from tourism and bamboo sales. Many families run small restaurants and warm homestays for visitors.

For Xin Xiangdong, “living off the mountains” is no longer only about making a living through

hard work. It now means living a comfortable life, while protecting the green mountains and clean rivers that have been the homeland of local people for hundreds of years.

A. To sell his bamboo baskets and get daily food. B. To visit other villages in the mountains.

C. To build roads across the rivers.    D. To look for new places to live.

10. What can we know about Badeng Village in 2021?

A. The village first built the Metog Highway.

B. Villagers moved to new houses with modern conditions.

C. It got over 8 million yuan from tourism.

D. Tourists began to visit the village for the first time.

11. What does the underlined phrase “take the place of” most probably mean?

A. Change into.   B. Stand for.  C. Replace.   D. Lead to.

12. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Villagers don’t make bamboo crafts any more because of tourism.

B. The villagers used to make much money by selling bamboo baskets.

C. People will stop protecting mountains after they live a comfortable life.

D. “Living off the mountains” has got a new and different meaning.

D

Sleeping with a light on could be bad for you. Researchers from Tulane University in the USA say any kind of light at bedtime may harm your heart. Even a very dim light could be harmful. The researchers did tests on 11,000 people for a week. The people in the test wore sensors (传感器) that measured the amount of light in their bedrooms. Three years later those who did not have heart disease had an MRI scan (核磁共振成像扫描) . The scans showed there was a link between sleeping with a light on and changes in the structure (结构) of the heart. One change was thicker heart muscles. Another change was that people’s hearts were less able to pump (泵送) blood and relax during heartbeats.

The study is published in the European Heart Journal. Lead researcher Professor Lu Qi wrote: “Light pollution has become as a new risk factor (风险因素) for heart disease.” He added the findings from his study suggest that reducing light while sleeping could be “one of the possible ways of preventing heart disease”. The researchers suggested turning off lights, televisions, and smartphones in the bedroom. They said people needed to get their sleeping environment as dark as possible. They added: “The advice is simple and inexpensive: blackout curtains (遮光窗帘), warm-coloured bedside lighting, and covers for the small standby LEDs (待机指示灯) on household electronics (家用电器).”

13.  What did the sensors measure?
 A. The amount of light in the bedrooms. B. The number of heart patients.
 C. The time people spent sleeping.   D. The size of the bedroom.

14.  What does the underlined word “dim” probably mean?
 A. Very bright.   B. Not bright.  C. Very warm.   D. Not safe.

15.  What can we infer from Professor Lu Qi’s words?
 A. Cutting down night light may help protect the heart.
 B. Light pollution is more serious than other risk factors.
 C. People with heart disease should sleep with a light on.
 D. Researchers have found a cure for heart disease.

16. What is the best title for the passage?

A. How to Choose Bedroom Lights

B. A New Risk Factor for Heart Disease

C. The Hidden Heart Risk of Nighttime Light

D. Why Light Pollution Is Serious in Cities
