I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. Wanted to invite you to join my next challenge group—we’ll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise and balanced nutrition.”
It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me. But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval (认可). I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.
Before Facebook, surfing the Internet was an occasional distraction and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To recreate the simplicity (质朴) of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I deactivated my Facebook account.
I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting (针织). I started taking yoga classes.
I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.
After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. it is net an addiction any more.
24. What does the underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph3 mean
A. checked B. kept C. closed D. updated
25. What did the author do to change her life
A. She traveled around a lot for a year. B. She developed some healthy habits.
C. She tried to make money for her holidays. D. She went to the gym as often as she could.
26. What did the author think of the break from Facebook
A. It was good for her eyes
B. It distanced her from her friends.
C. It gave her time to find beauty in life.
D. It helped her to get acceptance and approval from others
27. What is the author’s attitude towards social media
A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Objective.

Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知) What about our body Is it possible for thought and behavior to originate from somewhere other than our brain Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.
If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs-they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.
Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve center that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while. EC theories that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.
Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too. In another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.
For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.
Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will-give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.
28. According to the author, what is the significance of EC
A. It brings us closer to the truth in human cognition.
B. It offers a clearer picture of the shape of human brain.
C. It reveals the major role of the mind in human cognition.
D. It facilitates our understanding of the origin of psychology.
29. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from
A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs. C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings.
30. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5
A. Human speech is alive with metaphors.
B. Human senses have effects on thinking.
C. Human language is shaped by visual images.
D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To deepen the readers’ understanding of EC. B. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice.
C. To guide the reader onto the path to career success. D. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions.
D
Reshaping the world for a fossil fuel-free future means working quickly. Climate scientists say carbon emissions must stop by 2025 to minimize environmental damage. And by designing computational materials together with makers who can build and test them quickly, scientists can rapidly develop technologies like more powerful solar cells and car batteries.
Michael is the name of a supercomputer devoted to just one task—discovering the ultimate battery system. Researchers of University College London will use Michael to digitally build and test prototypes (原型) in every new material and type of cell possible to improve battery life, performance and price.
Finding a resilient (弹性的) design for solid-state batteries would be a huge breakthrough for electric, vehicles and energy storage. Lighter, longer-lasting and cheaper solid-state technology could vastly improve vehicle range and charging time. And the energy from solar and wind power could be more efficiently stored until ready for use.
Scientists working in the US and the UK led the way in the 1970s in developing the lithium-ion (钮离子) battery used in today’s electric cars, laptops and cameras. But commercial units were only developed once the Japanese electronics giant pushed the technology forward for mass production. Partnerships between companies and universities could ultimately crack solid-state battery design. Oxford University and some companies are looking to win the international race to create a durable product. But they are only one among many.
Replacing liquid used in lithium-ion batteries with a solid conductor may take large digital processing. Electric vehicle makers are working with a computer giant to find successful designs that may include cheap and plentiful materials found in seawater. An electric vehicle maker is partnering with NASA to open a solid-state battery plant that uses no rare or expensive metals. The plan is to create a large database of materials that can be mixed and matched for the best combinations.
But computational materials maybe needed in virtually every industry. And by rapidly classifying millions of substances on their ability to conduct electricity, their toughness, or the way they reflect light, AI and supercomputers can speed up the process of creating materials for just about anything.
32. What message does Paragraph 1 convey
A. It’s too fast to design computational materials.
B. It’s too late to reshape the fossil fuel-free world.
C. Developing green energy can reduce carbon emissions.
D. Developing technology can speedup carbon emissions.
33. What are solid-state batteries expected to he like
A. Heavy and solid. B. Light but breakable.
C. Less-costly and workable. D. Expensive but efficient.
34. Why does the author mention Oxford University in Paragraph 4
A. To show the weakness of mass production. B. To show the good trend of the cooperation.
C. To show the difficulty of the battery design. D. To show the development of British technology.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Michael is Devoted to Storing Solar Energy
B. Companies and NASA will Push Technology Forward
C. Electric Vehicle Makers are Struggling to Solve Air Pollution
D. Supercomputers and AI can Create Future Low-carbon Industries
