When I was about halfway between twenty and thirty, I lived in a large, run-down house that other people thought was romantic. The door to my bedroom was at least twelve feet tall. So I fixed a coatrack(衣帽架) over the top, and whenever I needed to get a jacket, or a towel, I stood on my desk chair to get them, swinging uncertainly.
There were six of us in the house. We were all about the same age. Two boys lived on the top floor and three lived in the basement. As the only girl, I was aware of being surrounded by shirtless boys, which is embarrassing especially in summer.
One hot afternoon, I wrote a long e-mail to my high-school English teacher, because I remembered him as handsome in a remote way. He wore expensive clothes and took an understated pleasure in saying inspiring things. I calculated that the English teacher was about forty, and then I pressed Send. The e-mail covered a lot of ground. I summarized what I called “my college experience”. Toward the end of the e-mail, I found myself saying that I couldn’t understand why I still needed to struggle in my college life.
When the English teacher wrote back, I was unexpected. In his response to my e-mail, he mentioned some stories about those who dropped out of school and their lives were hard for me to

Getting old might not be something that's yet to cross your mind. But aging is going to defeat us one day, so it's something we'd all like to control.
It would be great to have a long, healthy and happy life, and that's why scientists are constantly seeking out what we need to do to achieve it. We all know that regular exercise is good for us. But the latest piece of research might put a spring in your step if you're someone who walks at a fast pace. That's because the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains and their bodies are aging.
The BBC's Philippa Roxby writes that tests on 1,000 people found that slower walkers tended to show signs of \"accelerated aging”. Their lungs, teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those walking faster. The study also found not only did slower walkers bodies age more
B. Romantic. D. Boring.
B. Serious and knowledgeable. D. Caring and courageous
quickly, their faces looked older and they had smaller brains.
This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower pace to work out and get fitter. But it might be too late； researchers say they were able to predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence, language and motor (运动)skills tests from when they were aged three. They also suggest that even in early life, there are signs showing which people will have a healthier life.
So, what's the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain? Researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age and understanding what this might mean could be a way of testing treatments to slow human aging.
28. Why do scientists keep on studying? A. To help people live a better life. B. To achieve their goals. C. To find ways to stop aging.
D. To find out who can live longer. 29. How did the researchers get the result? A. By analyzing data.
B. By doing experiments in the lab. C. By doing surveys.
D. By carrying out tests on people.
30. The findings can be used to_____________ . A. treat certain illnesses B. find ways to slow aging C. make people work harder D. urge people to walk slowly 31. Where is the text most likely from? A. A diary.
D
The Insurance(保险) Institute for Highway Safety, a research group supported by companies that insure owners of motor vehicles, says U. S. crashes involving large trucks rose by nearly
B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. A magazine.
one-third since hitting a record low in 2009. A total of 4,136 people died in such crashes in 2018, with 119 deaths resulting from large trucks rear-ending（追尾)other vehicles.
However, a new study has found that when the rear-end crashes happened, safety systems were able to slow down the vehicles by over 50 percent, resulting in fewer injuries and less damage. The institute's Eric Teob did the study. He examined crash records from 62 trucking companies that operate tractor-trailers or other large trucks. He found about 2,000 crashes. Those accidents involved vehicles that traveled more than 3. 2 billion kilometers from 2017 to 2019.
The safety systems use cameras, radar and other sensors to watch the roadway. Some are designed to warn drivers of dangers, while more complex systems will stop the truck. Trucks with crash warning systems reduced rear （后面的）crashes by 44 percent, while automatic emergency braking systems cut rear crashes by 41 percent, the study found.
The institute called on the federal government to require such systems on new large trucks. It’s noted that many truck operators are already adding emergency braking on their own.
“Rear-end crashes with trucks and other vehicles happen a lot, often with horrible consequences,\" said Teob. “This is an important countermeasure（对策）to that.\"
The study found that trucks equipped with a crash warning system bad 22 percent fewer crashes than those without the technology. Trucks with emergency braking systems had 12 percent fewer crashes.
Teob said the findings could be valuable for trucking companies and drivers who are considering whether to get safety devices on their next vehicles.
In the United States, there are currently no requirements for either system. In Europe, automatic emergency braking with forward collision（碰撞）warning has been required by the European Union on most new large trucks since late 2013, the institute said. 32.What does the author want to tell us about U. S. traffic accidents in Paragraph 1? A. The seriousness. C. The unpredictability. A. By sending alerts(警报). C. By making noises.
34.What is Teob's attitude towards the safety systems? A. Indifferent.
B. Neutral.
C. Approving.
D. Negative.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Safety Devices Can be Hard to Ease Your Worries B. Safety Devices Can Reduce Big Truck Rear Crashes C. Making Yourself a Perfect Driver D. Driving Well for Less Damage
B. The consequence. D. The causes. B. By cutting speed. D. By turning off the engine.
33.How can safety systems help achieve fewer injuries and less damage while crashing?

You may have heard of the word “pub”. It is short for public house. There are around 60,000pubs in the U.K. One of the oldest pubs，Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans，Hertfordshire，is located in a building that dates back to the eleventh century.

A cosmetic company's quirky(古怪的) video advert has backfired with customer saying they
will refuse to buy its products.
Purcotton, the Chinese company owned by Winner Medical Co., released the video on
Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok. The video starts with a woman walking along and being
followed by a man who face is covered. Looking concerned, the woman produces a Purcotton wet wipe and removes his makeup. When the man taps her shoulder, she turns out and a man's face is shown.
\"What’s up, brother?” asks the woman, in a manly voice. Vomiting sounds and visual effects
have been added.
More than 3,000 commented, mainly offended by how acceptable the video is, stated it’s
appalling that they should normalize stalking(骚扰). A female Weibo user said it was really not funny that a woman’s looks were being made fun.
