    Mother’s Day is a time for children, young and old, to show how much they appreciate their mothers. Mother’s Day started in the US, where it’s celebrated on the second Sunday in May. 1.

It became an official US holiday in 1915. It was the result of the love of one girl, Anna Jarvis of West Virginia.2. As a girl, Anna helped her mother take care of the garden and filled it with white carnations (康乃馨), her mother’s favorite flower.

When Mrs. Jarvis died on May 5, 1905, Anna was determined to honor her. 3. On the same Sunday in Philadelphia, a minister honored Mrs. Jarvis and all mothers with a special Mother’s Day service. Anna Jarvis began writing to the government, asking them to set aside a day to honor all mothers. In 1910, the governor of West Virginia made the second Sunday in May Mother’s Day.

4.  Other children give their mothers gifts that they’ve made themselves or bought from stores. Adults give their mothers red carnations, the official Mother’s Day flower. White carnations are placed on the graves of mothers who are no longer alive.

Mother’s Day is now celebrated in more than 40 countries, including Denmark, Finland, Italy, and Australia. 5. In France, Mother’s Day is the last Sunday in May. A cake in the shape of flowers is presented to mothers at a family dinner.

A.So why is it celebrated on different dates?

B.But do you know the origin of Mother’s Day?

C.Anna’s mother provided great support for the family.

D.But not all countries celebrate Mother’s Day at the same time.

E.The second Sunday in May was the Sunday closest to her mother’s death.

F.She asked the minister of her church to hold a special service in honor of her mother.

G.On the morning of Mother’s Day, some American children serve their mothers breakfast in bed.

    There’s a reason humans have been building homes from wood for 10,000 years. It’s an excellent building material. But since it’s not transparent (透明的), we’re still in the habit of cutting windows in our houses.

But what if wood could be made transparent?

Researchers in Sweden have been trying to do just that. They’ve created a clear wood material they hope could one day be used for more energy-saving building.

“We chemically made wood transparent”, says Celine Montanari, a researcher at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.

Montanari and her team took wood and removed its lignin(木质素), and filled the resulting micro holes with a special chemical. Then the wood looked rather like the frosted glass of a shower door. They took the material one step further, mixing it with polyethylene glycol, a material that melts at 80 degrees Fahrenheit. When it melts, it absorbs energy and becomes transparent, then releases energy when cooled. In theory, this means the new wood material could be used to make windows that absorb energy during the hot part of the day and release it into the home when it gets cold at night. It makes the new wood an even more eco-friendly material by keeping indoor temperatures constant.

This is not a new technique, says Mark Swihart, a professor at University at Buffalo. Materials that store and release energy are not new either. “The thing that seems to be new is their way of the energy storage.” Swihart says.

Using wood as a base material is attractive because it has strength that’s hard to reproduce in other materials at the same cost, Swihart says. Whether or not the new transparent wood will be successful will depend in large part on how cheaply it can be made, he says. It’s also difficult to get new material widely used by the building industry, as there are existing supply chains for things like glass.

Montanari and her team are currently looking at increasing the heat storage capacity(储热性能) of the transparent wood, for greater energy savings. They’re also studying how to increase production to an industrial scale(规模). They hope to have a product ready for market within five years.

1.What are researchers in Sweden trying to do?

A.Construct all-glass buildings.

B.Develop see-through wood.

C.Create new frosted glass for future buildings.

D.Figure out the reason people use wood for buildings.

2.How is the fifth paragraph developed?

A.By giving example.

B.By analyzing reasons.

C.By describing processes

D.By making comparisons.

3.What does Swihart say about the invention of Montanari and her team?

A.It costs too much

B.It uses a brand-new technique.

C.It will face uncertainty in the market.

D.It will be widely used in the building industry.

4.What are Montanari and her team doing with their new invention now?

A.Making it cheaper.

B.Improving its performance.

C.Putting it into production.

D.Building a supply chain.

    We all know the value of taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allows your mind to relax and forget about the problems in everyday life. Studies have commonly shown the benefits of being around green spaces, including gardens, city parks and forests.

But did you know that being close to these natural surroundings during childhood could positively influence your mental health as an adult?

A study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) surveyed 3,600 people from all over Europe, including Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania and the UK.

The all-adult study gave these volunteers a questionnaire on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood – for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places.

Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety of problem-solving activities, to learn about their mental state within a four-week period.

The results showed that the people who were more exposed to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure.

According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited chance to natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, director of ISGlobal’s Urban Planning, said that “Many children in Europe lead an indoor lifestyle… so we call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children.”

While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So, remember to make time to immerse yourself in nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.

1.What was the purpose of the ISGlobal’s study?

A.To study the influence of childhood exposure to natural spaces.

B.To understand the mental health problems of children.

C.To see how childhood experiences shape adult life.

D.To examine the advantages of taking a walk.

2.What do we know about the study?

A.The volunteers included both children and adults.

B.The volunteers were from all over the world.

C.It was made up of a questionnaire and a psychological test.

D.It focused on the volunteers’ physical health state.

3.What does the underlined word “immerse” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.understand something B.lose oneself in something

C.protect against something D.imagine doing something

4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A.The benefits of green space B.mental health or physical health

C.outdoor lifestyle D.the value of taking a walk

    When David Carter started to study art at The University of Texas (UT)at Austin in 1971, he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer. But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event. He developed schizophrenia(精神分裂症) later and spent many years without a home.

Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer. After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT.

“I interviewed him on Austin’s homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him,” said Chandler. “He had got 87 hours, very close to a degree. Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go.”

With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UT’s College of Fine Arts. “It' s the greatest gift I’ve ever received,” Carter said. “He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn't have done it without him”

After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees (学费)without telling Chandler his name.

Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement, “David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament (证明) to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We’ re going to help him through his remaining course work.”

1.Why did Carter stop studying in the university?

A.He hurt an artist. B.He couldn’t afford his study.

C.He got a strange disease. D.He had a hand injury.

2.What was Chandler’s purpose in interviewing Carter?

A.To do a project on homelessness.

B.To know why he hung around UT.

C.To make friends with a homeless person.

D.To finish his homework on helping others.

3.Which of the following words can best describe Chandler?

A.Brave. B.Honest.

C.Warm-hearted. D.Strong-minded.

4.What can we learn from Dempster’s words in the statement?

A.He encourages Carter to study hard.

B.He supports students who never give up.

C.He calls on other students to help Carter.

D.He suggests other students learn from Carter.

Socialize with strangers. 4. But when you’re traveling, you have to talk with others.

You’ll find plenty of people willing to recommend new places or share their experiences.

Be proud of how far you’ve come. Things are not always going as you like. There is nothing better than some positive words to make yourself calm and confident that things will get better and you’re doing the right thing. 5. Don’t ruin all the progress you’ve been making.

    Choosing to forget something might take more mental effort than trying to remember it, researchers at The University of Texas discovered. Their findings suggest that in order to forget an unwanted experience, more attention should be focused on it.

“Decades of research has shown that we have the ability to forget something out of our own free will, but how our brains do that is still being questioned. Once we can figure out how memories are weakened and come up with ways to control this, we can design treatment to help people rid themselves of unwanted memories.” said Jarrod Lewis-Peacock, the study's senior author.

Memories are energetic constructions of the brain that regularly get updated, adjusted and reorganized through experience. The brain is constantly remembering and forgetting information—and much of this happens automatically during sleep.

Their findings not only confirmed that humans have the ability to control what they forget, but that successful intentional forgetting requires more activity than what is required to remember.

“A proper level of brain activity is important to this forgetting mechanism (机制). Too strong, it will strengthen the memory; too weak, you won’t change it,” said Tracy Wang, lead author of the study. “Importantly, it's the intention to forget that increases the activation of the memory, and when this activation (激活) hits the “proper level” sweet spot, that's when it leads to later forgetting of that experience”.

The researchers also found that participants were more likely to forget scenes than faces. “We're learning how these mechanisms in our brain respond to different types of information, and it will take a lot of further research before we understand how to use our ability to forget,” said Lewis-Peacock. “Hopefully we can find out how we process and get rid of those really strong memories, which can have a powerful effect on our health and well-being.”

1.What remains a puzzle to researchers?

A.How our memories can be strengthened.

B.How our brains voluntarily forget something.

C.What effect unwanted memories have on our brains.

D.Whether our brains can voluntarily forget something.

2.Which of the following words can best describe memories?

A.Casual. B.Unpredictable.

C.Active. D.Permanent.

3.It can be learned from the text that ______.

A.it requires less attention to forget than to remember

B.the more active the brain is, the faster it forgets

C.humans can't keep memories under control

D.humans forget faces less easily than scenes

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.What It Takes to Forget an Unwanted Experience

B.Strong Memories Have a Great Influence on Health

C.Forgetting Uses More Brain Power than Remembering.

D.How to Train Our Brains to Voluntarily Forget Something

    I remember watching my first rental (租赁的）movie when I was a kid. My aunt owned a video store and we borrowed a VHS copy of Poltergeist.

In 2004, I was 33 years old, living in Bend and looking for a part-time job to help support our family. My best friend, Mary, a saleswoman at the Blockbuster, suggested I might like working with her at the Blockbuster, and I’ve been here ever since. Back then, there were five Blockbusters in Bend alone. The movie-rental business was at its peak (顶点): we were still storing VHS tapes but DVDs were also coming in, and both were doing well.

When it became clear that DVD was going to replace VHS, I got very excited because those cassettes were so big and heavy. I often dropped them on my feet. Even then, I never dreamed I would end up managing the last store in town.

For me, the best thing about this job is the people. I love chatting to customers and hearing their opinions on movies. Now I’m the manager, however. I have all kinds of other responsibilities, like handling mountains of paperwork. I’m a bit like an old policeman in a movie who hates the desk job and longs to go back to the beat (巡逻区域). I hate being the manager.

The final store closures happened so fast. At the end of 2017, there were seven Blockbusters left in the US, but by early 2019 there was only our store and one other store in Australia, in the world. Since March when only our store remained, things have been crazy. The local community has been surprisingly supportive, and people have come from all over the world to rent movies: we’ve set up close to 5,000 new memberships. Most of them are regulars.

I’ll be sad to see the end of video stores. We have several years left on our lease (租期）and, as long as we can continue to pay our staff, we’11 stay open. Becoming the last store has given the business a push and we’re selling Blockbuster souvenirs. I’ve watched enough movies to realize there’s an end to everything, but hopefully the ending of this story is a long way off.

1.What can we learn about the Blockbuster?

A.It was quite popular in the past. B.It was mainly found in America.

C.It provided many part-time jobs for kids. D.It offered workers high salaries.

2.What does the author think of the position as the Blockbuster’s manager?

A.It’s troublesome. B.It’s low-paid.

C.It’s boring. D.It’s challenging.

3.Why does the author say things have been crazy since March?

A.Because few people want to work in Blockbusters.

B.Because many Blockbusters have broken down.

C.Because VHS tapes and DVDs became hard to buy.

D.Because their store became popular unexpectedly.

    Craziest Food Festivals sounds like a joke topic, but once you start looking into it, you’ll realize they’re everywhere — the crazier, the better.

1. Bibimbap Festival

In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.

Like any festival there’s music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.

2. Waikiki Spam Jam

Who knew this canned meat had so much love? Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花环). The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May giving out the best Spam, a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.

3. Bessieres Easter Egg Festival

At Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet.

Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷) — 15,000 eggs strong — for the townsfolk (市民).

4. Potato Days Festival

This festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota, the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five- and six-year-old girls.

1.What makes Bibimbap festival special?

A.They take four days to celebrate it.
