“Well, I just wouldn't sit by, anymore,"  said, more bothered than Abby, and Abby listened quietly. "If she says any more rude things to you, I'll go to your teacher and make sure you are never in a situation where you have to sit next to her again. ”

By this time, Allyson, my then eight-year-old, had joined us, listening to every word. Neither of my daughters interrupted as I finished my heartfelt speech, filled with motherly wisdom. Then, as I was telling each of them what I thought right, Allyson's real words of wisdom came about. “Mom," she said. "I was just thinking. Maybe Abby is supposed to be that girl's friend so that she can bear her. Maybe Abby can let that girl see forgiveness and goodness through her. " I didn't expect to become a student. At that moment, I realized that even though I was working hard to wear “Mother's Hat"， the “hat” certainly didn't make me right.

In fact, I wanted to pull that hat over my face and hide. On the other hand, it did comfort and surprise me. "Yes, that's a good point,“ I commented, forcing a half smile at my girls. "Abby, you handle this situation the way you think is right. ”"OK," she said, giving me a quick hug before walking out of the door and off to school. "Bye, Mom! " Allyson called, following her big sister out the door.

The old saying “A rolling stone gathers no moss（苔葬）" has evolved over the years, corning to mean that one must keep moving in order to stay fresh, particularly when it comes to a career. But, what about those who are always moving around, doing so to only gather moss?

People like Dr. Ma Wenzhang from the Herbarium（标本馆）of Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, for example.

Unlike common specimen,标本）administrators who spend most of their time in the herbarium, Ma enjoys fieldwork. Each year, he spends around three months in the field, with each trip averaging seven to fifteen days. His colleagues think he is a “weirdo”. He hikes, climbs, eats wild mushrooms and sleeps with dangerous animals, all just to collect moss samples.

Getting lost in the deep forest is also a common occurrence for Ma， whose main focus is collecting moss. "Ma can bear hardship. He spends a lot of time in the field, especially some places deep in the mountains, to collect samples," Zhang Li, director of bryophytes professional committee of the Botanical Society of China, says. “He has the sharp eyes to find moss in the forest at a glance.

Over the past decade, Ma has gone on nearly 70 field trips and collected more than 11, 000 moss samples. "When I see a really good sample, I will be amazed by its shining light," he says. To observe the moss under a microscope is also where Ma finds the true beauty of his samples. "It's interesting to see the cell structure of the moss," Ma says. A new species of moss from Yunnan Province, which was discovered by Ma, was named after him in 2018—Mawenzhangia thamnobryoides---a great honor for a specimen worker.

28. Why is the old saying used in the beginning?

A. To explain its meaning.

B. To tell an attitude to careers.

C. To introduce Ma's story with moss.

D. To describe a natural phenomenon.

29. What does the underlined word “weirdo" in paragraph 3 mean?

A. A confident person.

B. A strange person.

C. A modest person.

D. A hardworking person.

30. What is Mawenzhangia thamnobryoides?

A. The cell structure of the moss.

B. The name of a species of moss.

C. The award for Ma's contribution.

D. The sample named after Ma.

31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A. Discovery. B. Opinion.

C. Nature. D. Figure.

The secrets of dreaming are always interesting psychologists. It is generally acknowledged in the field that dreams people have during this time between childhood and full adulthood, that's around 30, are the strongest and most influential. Yet not enough is known about the repeated patterns of dreaming. Researchers are still trying to answer a basic question： How does dreaming relate to the life experiences and developmental challenges?

G. William Domhoff and Adam Schneider, at the University of California, help to answer this question by examining the lengthy dream series of two individuals, "Izzy" and “Jasmine”. Izzy provided a collection of 4, 329 dream reports from between the ages of 12 and 25, while Jasmine provided 664 dreams recorded between the ages of 14 and 25.

Large collections of dreams like these pose challenges to researchers. Until recently, the means of studying dream series was to employ a team of recorders who take the time to code each dream for a predetermined（预先确定的）number of content categories, and then compare their results. Nowadays, digital technologies enable the analysis of language usage in dreams with high speed, accuracy. and objectivity. This marks a revolutionary advance in the science of dreaming. However, it can only lead so far.

To gain more specific and detailed insights, Domhoff and Schneider tailored word strings（词串）for each dreamer, mixing elements of traditional research with digital tools for analyzing large data sets. For Izzy these word strings included “family and relatives”, "celebrities” and "fantasy”, while the word strings they created for Jasmine included “familiar places” , "electrical equipment” and "music”. The researchers used these word strings to identify connections between their dreams and real lives. Surprisingly, the results of the analysis revealed a great deal of consistency（一致性）and continuity in both sets of dreams. Izzy pays much attention to pop culture, and has affection for famous actors. Jasmine is an accomplished musician and performer.

“The frequencies of dream elements show the intensity （强度）of the dreamer's personal concern with that element in waking thought," Domhoff and Schneider conclude. For anyone who still claims dreaming is merely random nonsense from the brain and mental world, these findings are hard to explain away.

32. What do psychologists agree with about dreams?

A. Dreams are influenced by life experiences.

B. Dreaming is never nonsense from the brain.

C. Dreams in one's teens and twenties are strongest.

D. The patterns of dreaming are usually repeated.

33. What does "it” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. The collection of dreams.

B. Research into dreaming.

C. The digital method.

D. The challenge for psychologists.

34. How do the researchers conduct their study?

A. By analyzing large data sets.

B. By developing individualized word strings.

C. By identifying the patterns of dreaming.

D. By making comparison with traditional research.

35. Which can be the best title for the text?

A. New tech, new finding

B. Dreams： reflections of waking reality

C. Lives, languages, dreams

D. Life experiences ： elements of mental world

Summer holiday is a time for sunbathing, swimming, playing games...and learning? It can, and maybe should be, just because that your kids are off from schools doesn't mean they need to turn their brains off. 36   The following are activities your child can try during this holiday break.

• Get a job. Encourage them to get a paper route, operate a lemonade stand or offer to do yard work for neighbors for a small fee. By doing so, your child can learn valuable lessons, like patience, teamwork and creativity. In many ways these life lessons are invaluable.              37  

• Volunteer for some service. If your child can't operate their own business or find work elsewhere, volunteering is always an option. 38   Volunteering is another way they can learn invaluable lessons such as helping others.

• Read, read, read. Reading is an important ability that is used in nearly all other subjects. It's a good idea to keep your child's reading and comprehension skills sharp during the months. 39 Since so many kids respond to electronic devices, have them read on a Nook or Kindle, if possible.

• 40    If you're like many families, you might be taking a week-long vacation to the beach or taking trips to amusement parks. These activities are a big part of the season. However, if it's educational value you're looking for you might want to take some other travels as well. Zoos, museums, historical sites and nature reserves are just a few places where your child can have fun and learn at the same time.

A. Go on meaningful trips.

B. Travel across various places.

C. Encourage them to bring a book to the beach or pool.

D. They are required to read a specific number of books.

E. You should make sure your child has a productive summer.

Shanti wanted the wooden doll in Ramm's toy shop and told her best friend Jodi about it. Jodi wondered if she could afford it.

“If we sell enough garlands, we can each get a doll, " said Shanti.

Jodi shook her head. Her family was low on money that week. She had to use her money to pay for Kiran's medicine. Kiran was Jodi's little brother. Then Jodi picked up her garlands. "My mother is expecting me. I'll meet you at the market. ”

Shanti spent the afternoon selling garlands alone. By early evening, Shanti had sold all her flowers.

On the way home, Shanti saw Jodi heading to the market with her garlands. She was late because she had to watch Kiran while her mother was away.

“Why didn't you take him with you? "  Shanti said.

Jodi shook her head. "He's too sick to go out. He coughs and coughs.

Shanti knew Jodi wouldn't make enough money for the medicine now. The market would be closing soon.

Shanti looked at the purse tightly held in her hand. It was supposed to be for the beautiful doll she'd been dreaming of for long. Then she looked at her friend's  tired face. "Here. Keep this for the medicine. ”
