When my son joined the high-school wrestling team last fall during COVID-19, my 83-year-old dadalso asked me to ask if they needed an assistant coach. I wondered how the coach would feel about myson’s grandfather asking to help, given that it was over 60 years ago that he wrestled?“He wrestled inuniversity,” I said.

A few days before the first practice, I e-mailed the coach to tell him that my son’s grandfather was 83.I was nervous. What if he wasn’t what they were looking for? In the e-mail, I assured the coach he was ingood health. I pointed out that his hearing aids had sat unused for over five years. He just didn’t likewearing them.

As I dropped my dad and 16-year-old son off for their first wrestling practice, my dad turned to myson, “I am not going to embarrass you, am I?”

“Not too much,” my son replied.

At the first practice, Dad met the coach and told him he would do anything he needed. When he andmy son returned, they were both overjoyed.

We turned back.“I need theseto hear what the coach is talking about,” he reminded me.

In his free time, Dad went to the library and he borrowed the book Wrestling for Dummies. He read upon different moves and the scoring system.“It is a lot different from my university days,” he told me.

The coach gave him a team sweatshirt with the logo of the school on the front and“Wrestling”on theback. He wears the sweatshirt to every practice.

Chinese astronauts sent back a science lesson from the country’s under construction space station.Thelesson focused on physics, aiming to illustrate how the weightless environment affects buoyancy(浮力),the movement of objects and optics (光学).

Students from five cities asked the astronauts about living conditions in space and were treated to avirtual tour of the station. Wang Yaping, the only woman aboard the station, served as the main instructor,while Ye Guangfu assisted and commander-in-chiefZhaiZhigang worked the camera.

The three arrived at the station in October, 2021 for about a six-month stay, mainly aimed to preparethe main Tianhe module(舱) for the arrival of two additional modules named Mengtian and Wentian aheadof completion by the end of 2022. The crew is assessing living conditions in the Tianhe module andconducting experiments in space medicine and other areas.

Wang became the first Chinese woman to conduct a spacewalk when she and Zhai spent six hoursoutside the module fixing equipment and carrying out tests alongside the station’s robotic service arm.

The mission of Shenzhou-13 is China’s longest one since it first put a human in space in 2003,becoming only the third county to do so after Russia and the US. China has also pushed ahead withunmanned missions, and is lunar exploration program generated media buzz when its Yutu 2 rover sent back pictures of what was described by some as a “mystery hut”, but most likely only was a rock of somesort. The rover is the first to be placed on the little-explored far side of the moon, while China’s Chang’e 5 probe returned lunar rocks to Earth for the first time since the 1970s. A Chinese rover, meanwhile, issearching for evidence of life on Mars.

24. What is the main task of the three crew in China’s space station?

D. China has made great achievements in space exploration.

27. What might be the best title for the text?

A. Chinese astronauts test new technology to explore space

D. Chinese astronauts expand the module into a big station

C

Listening to music while studying or doing homework is a very common habit among students.

The research in 1972 showed that there was an increase in the performance of workers when listeningto music. However, this research was limited, and was only used to study a very specific and representativeworking environment at the time-factories. Workforce tasks were repetitive, predictable and boring.

But what about the complex(复杂的) and creative jobs? What about studying complex academicprograms?

It seems that when the work at hand forces us to really focus on what we are doing, the presence of themusic is a burden that we must avoid. For example, the research published in Psychological Reports foundthat when some volunteers had to choose a piece of music and listen to it while studying or doinghomework, they performed worse than those who did not choose and simply accomplished the task withoutlistening to music.

In other words, even though music is used for studying, it may just be because you like the music, not because it improves memorization and learning outcomes.

Why is it not good to listen to music while studying? The answer lies in two concepts: multitasking(多任务化) and attentional concentration. Multitasking is the ability to perform more than one task at the sametime and is closely related to working memory. This type of memory is responsible for keeping in mind theelements with which we work in real time.

Attentional concentration is how the brain directs mental processes toward solving some problems andnot others. When we focus on something, we are using a large part of our nervous system to fix it. For this,you have to pay the price for neglecting other functions.

28. What was the disadvantage of the research in 1972?

A. A short length of time.     B. A shortage of researchers.

C. A single working environment.    D. A small number of participants.

29. What did the research published in Psychological Reports prove about listening to music?

A. It didn’t make any difference.    B. It improved participants’ efficiency.

C. It helped participants to concentrate.   D. It affected participants’ performance.

30. What’s the purpose of the last two paragraphs?

A. To make comments.      B. To explain reasons.

C. To draw conclusions.      D. To make suggestions.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

It was my twelfth birthday, and what I really wanted was a new bicycle. But I knew my familycouldn’t afford one.

A new bike was just a dream, so I wanted a nightstand(床头柜). I figured that at least I would have asafe place to keep my private things. So I asked my parents for a nightstand with lockable drawer(抽屉).

We went to the secondhand furniture store and found an old, dark brown nightstand. It didn’t look toocool, but at least it had drawers that I could keep locked. I decided that I would paint it to make it lookbetter.

After we took it home, I was getting ready to paint it. When I pulled the drawers out, I felt somethingstuck(卡住) at the back of the bottom drawer. I reached in all the way to the back and was surprised to finda bag.

When opening the bag, I realized that there were some papers in it which were some kind ofofficial-looking documents(文件). And beneath were a bunch of dollar bills! Talk about finding a treasure!And on my birthday!

I went ahead and read the papers, which turned out to be a will(遗嘱). Some old lady was leaving hersavings to her son and grandchildren. The old lady must have died and nobody knew the money. Her familydonated the nightstand to the secondhand furniture store and it was now in my hands.

I counted the money, over 1,000 dollars in total. I was going crazy. With this money I could buy thecoolest bicycle. I could even buy bicycles for my younger brothers. Maybe I could also get my parents acar.

What a dilemma! I could keep it and get all kinds of things for myself and my family. Or I could giveit all back. “Somebody helps me with this!”I begged. But I really didn’t need anyone else to give me theanswer. Ialready knew right from wrong. I decided not to fail this test. It was a test of honor-my honor.

Looking through the donation records, the owner found the son’s telephonenumber. We got in touch with him right away, told him about the will and the moneyand made an appointment with him.

Several days later, the old lady’s son and his wife came to my house. Tears welledup in the man’s eyes when he saw the money and the papers, which apparentlybrought back his memories about his dead mother. Then the couple expressed theirsincere gratitude to us. They said they were in big financial trouble now and my act ofhonesty was a timely help, not only giving them hope but also strengthening theirfaith. I had never felt better. No new bicycle could make me feel as good about myselfas I felt that day. I passed an extremely important test of my honor.

The monument is made of marble, except forthe tip.

(19)We will stay herefor 2 hours, and I believe you’ll have a great time here. (17)(20)After visiting theWashington Monument, we’ll be walking over to the Lincoln Memorial. Watchyour step as you get off the bus, please.
