You, cutting onions for dinner, are tearful from the vapor, Your mother, teaching you how to cut onions when

Most people spend a considerable, part of their waking lives daydreaming? their attention constantly skipping
from the task at hand to the thoughts, images, and memories moving through consciousness. Why is daydreaming so
prevalent?
In our daydreams we are the main characters. We are self-centered beings and the content of our daydreams
reflects this. Self-related elements in consciousness beliefs? values, memories, and goals—are much easier to access
than self-unrelated knowledge. In other words, information related to the self is more interesting or noticeable than
most other things. So, what may make daydreaming important is that it provides a way for the brain to process
self-related information to update our life story. Storytelling is deeply rooted in humans. People tell stories about
themselves, to themselves, on a daily basis.
These seif-related stories allow people to make sense of who they are and build their narrative identity—their
sense of connection through time. People need to connect who they believe - they are to ongoing experiences..
Certain daydreams reflect what is important to a person, what worries them, who they ' . . care about, and
what they love and desire to do. We're made up of pieces of who we. are. When these pieces reflect real life and flow
like stories , we pay attention, we look, we become aware. ,.
I recently daydreamed that I was standing in front of my new undergraduate students , introducing myself. My
students were quiet for the most part, on their phones or computers.
I felt slightly nervous and embarrassed that I -couldn't get everyone's attention, Later, I realized that. I was
worried about making a good first impression. I knew I was excited for the new school year to start.
28. Why does the author start the passage with the “onion" experience?
A. To introduce the topic by giving an example.
B. To call up readers' memory of cutting onions.
C. To show cutting onions is a common experience.
D. To illustrate people like to skip from one task to another.
29. What does the underlined word “prevalent" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Common. B. Scary. C. Complicated. D. Mysterious.
30, Why are daydreams important to us?
A. They connect us with time.
B. They teach us to tell stories about our lives.
C. They help us to learn more about ourselves.
D. They enable us to be conscious of unrelated information.
31. What does the author's daydream reflect?
A. He is confident of his teaching ability.
B. He is full of expectation for the new term.
C. He is afraid of .meeting new people at school.
D. He is not sure whether he is qualified for the new job.

Recovering strength and movement after an injury often involves physical therapy(治疗). Physical therapists
help patients with brain or bone injuries regain control of their muscles. Exercising muscles plays an important part
in the rehabilitation(康复)process. Therapists use balls and boards to improve balance, stretchy bands to increase
strength and other exercise.
But a Polish technology company Egzotech has developed a robot called Luna, to make exercise interactive.
Luna can help therapists choose the best exercise for their patients. The robot also provides therapists with
information about their patients progress.
Luna uses electromyography, or EMG, to identify electrical currents as patients bend their arms or legs. Michal
Mikulski is the chief executive officer of Egzotech. He says detecting muscle tension not immediately visible to the
human eye can help therapists design better exercise.
“We reach a certain stage of disease development... when the muscle tension is not even visible. But these
signals can still be seen on our machines, Luna is still able to detect them. And based on that, when the brain sends
a signal to the muscle to flex, even though we don t see it, Luna is still able to detect it. It detects these signals and
causes the movement of the limb(肢),as if it were performed naturally."
Luna can also make therapy fun for children who often get bored with repeated movements. Luna permits them
to play games without knowing that they are exercising their muscles.
“Sometimes it is a spacecraft, sometimes shooting balls, sometimes flying a dragon. In any case, a child wants
to win a game, wants to compete, but in fact they are exercising." Luna is just a prototype(原型).But Egzotech
expects to have other robots ready for sale later this year.
32. What can be learned from paragraph 1?
A, Physical therapy can stop the pain.
B. Physical therapists help the brain work fast.
C. Exercising muscles matters much in recovery.
D. Recovering process proves to be quite difficult.
33, What can Luna do?
A. Help prevent muscle tension.
B. Avoid making muscle injuries.
C. Help Egzotech make more robots.
D. Help doctors make better recovery plans.
34. What benefits can Luna bring to children?
A. It can make exercise interesting and effective..
B. It makes them win more awards in competitions,
C. It makes children get more achievements with less time.
D. It makes them realize the importance of exercising muscles.
35.What is the text mainly about?
A. How Luna works. B. How patients fight injuries.
C. How Luna makes therapy fun. D. How therapists help patients.

It was a cold winter night in New York. I was a little scared because I had just moved into a new house; I had
seen a mouse. I'm scared of mice. However, the really bad thing about shifting was that I didn't have even one friend.
There was something good, though. In the former house, I had to share a bathroom with other people, which .1 didn't

Today was my first day of school, and the streets to school were very nice; they were like ice rinks(溜冰场)
covered with snow. When I reached school, I felt nervous as I was entering middle school without a friend. At first
there was a history class in which I knew a girl named Alice. Alice had yellow hair, skin which was as white as milk,
and eyes as blue as the sky. She looked at me and asked me if I would like to be her friend. She looked sweet and
friendly, so I said "yes”. I was enthusiastic, but when we left for break, I saw something that I did not like—some
guys were threatening and bullying(欺负)Alice.
On seeing this, I told the guys, "Don't say that to her."
“Who are you to tell me what to say?” one of the guys said.
Alice felt extremely bad and went running and crying. When she ran away, I tried to follow her, but I could not
catch up and lost her. She disappeared into one of the many rooms. After a while of searching, I thought to look in
the cafeteria and saw her sitting and crying.
Just when I was going to try to calm her, the bell rang, and she hurried away.
