Pet adptin is the perfect way t add a new family member. But if a pet is t
yung t be adpted, it must be fstered (寄养) first. That’s hw a puppy named
Maggie that was rescued by the Nrth Shre Animal League America (NSALA),
ended up being fstered by a sweet six-year-ld by.
The animal rescue rganizatin in Prt Washingtn needed t find a fster hme
fr Maggie because she needed t be trained with basic bedience (顺从) skills and
t becme cmfrtable with a hme envirnment. NSALA sent ut a call fr a fster
family.
Rman Duncan’s family was the lucky ne chsen fr the jb. The by fell in
lve with the puppy and was able t be part f her grwth during thse frmative
mnths. The family always made it clear t Rman that Maggie wuld eventually be
adpted and mve t a different hme.
When it came t time fr Maggie t be adpted, Rman culdn’t hld his tears.
He decided t write letters t the puppy’s future family. He wrte letters abut his
furry friend, saying “Maggie is s cute and lves t play fetch. She is the best dg
ever,” and slipped the ntes and sme phts int Maggie’s paperwrk.
The rescue team were surprised and then incredibly tuched by the ntes they
fund when pening Maggie’s file. NSALA made sure that Rman’s ntes reached
her adpted family. The by’s gesture is exactly what pet fstering is abut.
A dg r cat that has gne thrugh terrible sufferings such as being abused
needs t learn what it means t live in a hme. Fstering helps reduce the animal’s
stress and makes it trust peple again. It is als an pprtunity fr peple wh lve
pets but can’t have them full-time due t sme restrictins. Pet fsters can get t
enjy helping a pet in need. If yu are interested in pet fstering, cntact a lcal
shelter r animal rescue near yu.
24. What happened t Maggie at first?
A. She was fstered by Rman’s family. B. She was settled in a new hme.
C. She was saved by a rescue team. D. She was released int the wild.
25. Why did Rman write ntes abut Maggie?
A. T chse Maggie’s future family. B. T preserve Maggie’s paperwrk.
C. T express his mixed feelings. D. T help Maggie seek a new hme.

Marathn runner Gerima Mustafa f Uganda walked sme 664 kilmeters
acrss East Africa earlier this year t call attentin t threats t the shea (乳木果)
nut tree, a surce f fd, medical prducts and incme fr the many living frm
West Africa t Smalia.
Nw research scientists studying the shea tree in Burkina Fas have fund that
it is the natural ecsystem that is getting degraded in this regin that might d harm
t the shea, which is ften targeted by charcal(木炭)traders wh kill and sell the
trees fr far less than the lng-term wrth f their benefits. The habitats are lst t
ever-increasing agricultural shifts t, with a clear verall link t the impacts f
human activity.
Scientist Aife Delaney f the UK, alng with Burkinabe researchers and
British eclgists, studied 10 different parkland lcatins in Burkina Fas where the
trees are planted. They say the tree—able t prduce nuts fr 200 years—relies n
pllinatrs (传粉者) that thrive when ther trees and shrub (灌木) species arund it
create a habitat t supprt the pllinatrs, especially bees.
“Cnsequently, shea prductins are likely t benefit frm the preservatin f a
range f different tree and shrub species in parklands,” Delaney and the research
team said. Their wrk was recently published in the Jurnal f Applied Eclgy.
The authrs recmmend maintaining a range f native wdy species
thrughut their lifespans, and planting new nes int farmland when cleared. The
idea is t be intentinal and active abut prtecting the trees.
“Only separate parts f semi-natural habitat in the surrunding landscape may
nt be sufficient t prvide the necessary pllinatin services,” they cncluded. “In a
regin that is subject t nutritinal pverty and where the fund required t supply
lcal fds is lacking fr mst families, maintaining natural ecsystem services that
supprt fd supplies must be a pririty.”
28. Why is Gerima Mustafa mentined in the first paragraph?
A. T describe a marathn runner’s experience.
B. T intrduce and stress the imprtance f shea nut trees. C. T suggest the ppularity f Gerima Mustafa.
D. T explain an apprach t prtecting the wildlife.
29. What is a great threat t the shea nut trees in Burkina Fas?
A. The disturbance f human activity. B. The pllutin in their natural habitat.
C. The agricultural develpment. D. The illegal hunting f animals.
30. What des the underlined wrd “thrive” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Spread. B. Increase. C. Change. D. Escape.

31. What d the scientists recmmend lcals t d t prtect the shea nut trees?
A. Prvide hand-pllinatin services.
B. Open up mre natural habitats fr pllinatrs.
C. Replace the ld shea trees with new nes.
D. Keep the bidiversity within ecsystem.

It’s nt just in yur head: a desire t curl up n the sfa after a day spent tiling
at the cmputer culd be a physical respnse t mentally demanding wrk,
accrding t a study that links mental exhaustin t changes in brain physilgy that
cause feelings f tiredness.
The study was cnducted by neurscientist Antnius Wiehler at the Paris Brain
Institute and his clleagues. T learn the cause f mental exhaustin, the research
team chse 40 participants and assigned 24 f them t perfrm a challenging task.
These included lking at a cmputer screen and matching different letters that
appeared. The ther 16 participants did a similar, but easier task. Bth teams wrked
fr six hurs, and had tw ten-minute breaks.
While the study participants fcused n their wrk, Wiehler and his team
scanned the glutamate (谷氨酸) in the brains f the participants. Glutamate is an
imprtant signaling mlecule (分子）in the brain that wrks in memry and learning.
T much glutamate may upset the brain’s functins, which means the brain is tired
and it must rest.
The researchers fund that participants wh labured n the mre difficult task
had higher levels f glutamate in the brain than thse wh wrked n the easier task.
The result suggested peple wh spend mre than six hurs wrking n a task that
requires a lt f thught are mre likely t feel tired.
And nw that a system has been established t measure metablic (新陈代谢的)
changes in respnse t mental tiredness, the team hpe t learn mre abut hw t
recver frm mental exhaustin. While the researchers haven’t wrked ut a new
slutin, Wiehler ffers that, “I wuld emply gd ld recipes: rest and sleep!
There is gd evidence that glutamate is remved frm a perid f rest. A gd nap
can be as shrt as 20 minutes, but can make us feel ttally refreshed.”
32. What d Wiehler and his clleagues try t study?
A. Why thinking hard makes us feel tired. B. Why peple spend lng time n screen. C. Hw peple can balance wrk and rest. D. Wh prefers t take a challenging task.
33. Which task may cause mental exhaustin mre easily?
A. Playing chess games n the cmputer fr 7 hurs. B. Climbing the Muntain Tai ver 6 hurs.

C. Invlving a simple ecnmic-related decisin.
D. Watching a funny mvie n TV.
34. What is the attitude f the team tward the system?
A. Negative. B. Skeptical C. Supprtive. D. Indifferent.
35. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. A nap is the best way t reduce the mental tiredness.
B. Further study is necessary fr mental exhaustin.
C. It is n use putting the system int reality. D. There is n need t find a new slutin.
