16、eaking work that paid very little- In the year I worked there, only four other people hadnt quit and been replaced with new feces. Those of us who stayed did so only because there was no other work to find to support our families. On this day all of us were covered in sweat and dust. When I looked a
17、round, every face I saw looked angry and frustrated. Suddenly, a voice called out, Hey! Theres a deer in here, A lost little female deer had wandered through the open loading bay doors and was now cowering （蜷缩）in between the huge stacks of wood. All of us stopped working and went looking for her as
18、she ran about looking for a way out. Now most people where 1 live hunt deer for meat in the Fall but also treat them with great kindness the rest of the year. Many will even buy 50 bags of corn to help feed them during the harsh Winter months. It was no surprise then that all of us were soon quickly
19、 working together to free this little creature. By blocking off all the other routes, we were able to guide her frantic search back to the open bay doors. We watched as she jumped out of the building and back into the woods. Then we walked back in to work. 1 noticed something, though. On every face
20、there was a joyful smile. It was as if this one single act of kindness had energized us again and reminded us of what life is all about. 24. Why were few people willing to work in the wood mill? A. They were dissatisfied with the pay and working conditions. B. They were tired of wood cutting and wan

24、n sci-fi movie plots, but it may soon become an actual possibility. Elon Musk -a US tech tycoon, founder of Space X- has been working on this technology. On Aug 28, Musk gave a display of the chip, which was implanted into the head of a pig named Gertrude. The chip, developed by Musks company Neural
25、ink, is the size of a coin. But dont let its size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes （电极） attached to flexible threads, which can monitor about 1,000 neurons （神 经元）.It collects neural signals from an area of the brain, and then transmits those signals wirelessly to nearby computers, a
26、ccording to MSN. That enabled researchers to monitor Gertrudes brain activity while she was walking around in the display. Though the technology is still in its early stage, it is encouraging for humans. This technology would solve a lot of brain injuries and is essentia for Al symbiosis, which will
27、 allow the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence. When the device can be applied to humans, its main goal will be to help those who have mobility difficulties. Musk hopes this technology can also be used to help those with hearing and eyesight issues. Although such a device could re
28、pair those problems, putting it into practice is by no means a piece of cake. Currently, the device can transmit signals from about 500 neurons in the pigs brain. Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain, this number is tiny. And to cover the whole human brain also means the electrodes have t
29、o be much smaller. Also, implanting the chip into the brain poses a potential danger. There is a risk of the immune system attacking this foreign body. Right now, the hope of controlling the brain via controlling a few neurons seems overly optimistic. There are many technological challenges . to ove
30、rcome before Neuralink can put its devices to the purposes, Yuan Lanfeng, an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, told China Daily. 28.

The operation of the chip in Gertrudes brain. B. The attachment of electrodes to flexible threads. C. The development of neurons inside G
32、ertrudes brain. D. The transmission of signals from a nearby computer 30. What is the major target of the microchip? A. To monitor animals brain activity. B. To help people with mobility issues. C. To develop a cure for immune system problems. D. To contribute to the research on Al technologies. 31.
33、 How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain? A. Worried. B. Excited. C. Optimistic. D. Challenged. D Over 400 human footprints preserved in volcanic sediment （沉淀物）provide a sign at social life among ancient hunter-gatherers. The impressions, found in northern Tanzania,
34、 add up to Africas largest collection of ancient human footprints, say evolutionary biologist Kevin Hatala of Chatham University in Pittsburgh and colleagues. People walked across a muddy layer of volcanic ashes dating to between 19,100 and 5,760 years ago, the researchers reported on May 14 in Scie
35、ntific Reports. Dating of a thin rock layer that partly overlaps （重 叠）the sediment narrows the footprints age to about 12,000 to 10,000 years ago. Hatalas team analyzed footprint sizes, distances between prints and which way prints pointed. One collection of tracks was made by 17 people walking sout
36、hwest. Comparisons with modem prints suggest that this group consisted of fourteen women, two men and one young boy. The women may have been searching for foods while a few males visited or accompanied them, the researchers infer. Some present-day hunter-gatherers form lately female food-gathering g
37、roups. The study is a nice piece of work”, although its hard to specify what people were doing, says geologist Matthew Bennett of Bournemouth University in Poole, England. Many more sets of footprint tracks would be needed to argue convincingly that hunter-gatherers at that time had female food-gath
38、ering groups, Bennett says. And it would still be unknown if the women were gathering plants or hunting prey. Other footprint sites present especially promising opportunities for studying ancient behavior, he says. He is involved in work in New Mexico that has uncovered tens of thousands of footprin
39、ts of humans and other creatures from more than 10,000 years ago. Early results suggest that humans there hunted giant sloths （树 獭）.Bennett expects those prints will yield more insights into Stone Age hunting. 32. What does the underlined word impressions” in the first paragraph mean? A. Thoughts ab
40、out people or things. B. Collections of volcanic ashes. C. Marks left by creatures or something. D. Behaviors of imitating someone- 33. What do the newly-discovered footprints suggest? A. Ancient hunters were socially organized. B. Ancient male hunters were admired by females. C. Female food-gatheri
41、ng groups were obviously formed. D. Males played a more important role in finding food than females. 34. What can we learn according to the last paragraph? A. The females gathered plants or hunted prey in the Stone Age. B. The footprint tracks have proved female food-gathering groups existed. C. The
42、 footprint sites provide a good chance to further study ancient behavior D. The footprints will hardly influence our understanding of Stone Age hunting. 35. Whats the best title of the text? A. How Ancient Hunters Gathered Food B. What Ancient Hunan Footprints Were Like C, What Ancient Human Footpri

Your personal journal can become a place to release anger, frustration, sadness and other negative emotions wit
44、hout hurting anyones feelings. It can also become a record of all your successes, good ideas, and happier moments. 36 Another bonus to keeping a diary or a journal is that you can gain insights about yourself by discovering patterns of behavior. Once you discover them you can make efforts to replace
45、 problematic behavior with better choices. 37 Your mental wellbeing can improve as long as you update the diary and re-read it from time to time. 38 Dont leave it where people can find it, learn your inner thoughts, and decide to disobey, to argue with or to offend you. 39 Verbal diaries are not as
46、helpful as written versions. The brain processes information differently when we write and when we read. Speaking into a recorder and listening to it dont achieve the same effect when only one person is involved. Use the method that is most pleasant for you, and if you use the verbal recording optio
47、n, do it with the thought of eventually changing over to written memories. Keep your diary or journal real, honest, and updated. Record your thoughts and reflect on them from time to time.
