Have you ever seen something cute (可爱），like a baby dog or a baby rabbit, and just wanted to hug it to pieces? I'm prelly sure you have. When you think about it, (hat urge is kind of peculiar, maybe even a little dangerous.
However it turns out the “I want to hug you and squeeze you to death" urge you might feel when you set something cute is totally normal. A study done at Yale University recently explored this phenomenon and the Findings were published in Psychological Science. The experiment studied what happened when people were presented with “cute stimuli (刺激).
The study found that people who have cxtremely positive reactions to cute babies also “displayed stronger aggressive expressions”. I know that sounds kind of strange, but what they’re saying is that people who were really into the babies wanted to press their cheeks or maybe squeeze their slightly fat legs‘ Totally normal. Keep in mind that we’re talking about an innocent little squeeze, not an urge to actually do any harm.
But why does it happen? Oriana Aragon, a scientist, says it’s common for some people who experience a strong emotion to immediately express their feelings in a way that seems to be opposite to what they're feeling. Like crying when you’re happy or laughing when you're sad. The same thing is going on when you want to squeeze that baby rabbit. It serves an actual biological function. According to the study, it helps reestablish your cmolional equilibrium. In other words，it keeps your emotions (情感)balanced.
Also, if you're taking care of a baby or baby animal, your squeezing urge actually
helps you be a belter caretaker. Aragon says, “Because they may help people to regain control over their strong emotions, these expressions help the caretaker to care for an animal or baby appropriately.
28.What does the underlined word “peculiar” in Paragraph I probably mean?
A. Normal， B.Popular. C Desperate. D.Strange.
29.Which can be classified as “aggressive expressions” in the Yale study?
A. To press a baby’s nose softly. B. To make a baby laugh.
C.To squeeze a baby's legs to pieces. D. To break a baby's fingers.
30. What's the biological function of people's crying when they are happy?
A.To hide their their feelings.
B. To balance their strong feelings.
C.To draw others’ attention.
D.To express their actual sadness.
31. What does Aragon think of a caretaker's squeezing urge?
A.It's quite dangerous. B. It should be controlled.
C.It's actually beneficial D. It's the most appropriate.
D
There has been a lot of publicity recently surrounding 5G, the next generation of wireless technology. But what is this technology and how might it change our lives?
5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system. Earlier “G”systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity (容量).
The new 5G system promises more of the same. It is expected to permit more users to do more things at a faster rate.
However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different from the earlier systems, It will move well beyond mobile network technology to affect many more devices and industries than other “G” versions.
5G will help fuel future “smart cities" by connecting sensor networks. Such networks will be able to control vehicle traffic and quickly identify streetlight
outages(中断).
5G is also expecied to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality. Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.
Many more kinds of data will be traveling across 5G networks. Much of the data could contain private details about individuals, businesses or government organizations. The increased data flow would give interet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data，
In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety as well as world economic activity. For example,a failure during a doctor's remotely guided operation could lead to the death of a patient，Or a network breakdown could cause self-driving vehicles to crash.
32.In what way is 5G remarkably different from 4G system?
A. It greatly increases network capacity,
B. It brings major improvements m speed.
C. It has a much wider range of application.
D. It improves mobile communication operations.
33. What do the last two paragraphs focus on?
A. The negative side of the 5G technology,
B.The promising markets.
C.The current technological barriers.
D.The widespread prejudice.
34, What’s the author's attitude towards 5G?
A. Disapproving, B. Objective.
C. Optimistic, D. Uncaring.
35. What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A.To compare the difference between 4G and 5G.
B. To promote the wide application of 5G technology.
C. To warn people of the possible risks of 5G technology.
D.To introduce 5G technology and its possible influence.

Throughout history and in every culture, people cry. Nowadays, people are facing more and more pressure from work, life, family, health and love，Sometimes when sadness reaches a certain level, crying is a necessary consequence. 36 Psychological counselor Li Jin from the Yang Guang Hua Ren Psychological Service says the answer is “Yes”.
“Weeping is one of the mechanisms that humans use to get rid of some toxins (毒素）.Tears may be involved in removing waste products or toxic substances from the body. Perhaps that is why so many people say they fed better after crying.
The chemical components of tears are far more complex than one would imagine, Li Jin introduced an interesting experiment conducted by American scientists. The scientists first had some volunteers watch a sad movie. 37 Later they had these volunteers cut onions to produce tears. Chemical analysis afterwards showed that the tears collected from cutting onions are very different from those created by watching a sad movie.
Some people may think that crying is simply a sign of weakness or being out of emotional control. 38
“When you feel pressure, frustration, sorrow or anger — any negative emotions 一 you should take effective measures to relieve them. 39 ”
Li Jin added that crying is just one way to release pressure. 40 Finding the one that fits you best is the key to keeping a stable, confident and healthy psychological state.
A. And then they collected their tears.
B. Crying is just a natural, and healthy means.
C. But actually, crying is a form of stress relief.
D. Would you use crying as a way to gain support?
E. There are many alternatives you can use to make it.
F. The sad movie failed to make them burst into tears.
Are there any physical or health benefits from crying?
