Have you heard of the following events?
Sheep shearing （修剪）
It's a big sport in New Zealand, which proudly hosts the annual Golden Shears International Championships. Held in the town of Masterton in March, the four-day event seeks to identify the world's fastest sheep shearer. The event is not all about shearing; live bands bring a party atmosphere to it. It's attractive to many tourists.
Lucha libre
It's a form of freestyle wrestling with a devoted fan base in its native Mexico. Competitors are famous for their well-made masks, which keep their identities a secret. That's until they are defeated in the fight, which often requires losers to show their faces. Don't forget to bring some loose change: when viewers are impressed by a victorious wrestler, they throw money at them. You may enjoy the event once a year.
Lawnmower （割草机）racing
This annual sport now has its own governing body-the British Lawn Mower Racing Association （BLRA）. It has a 30-racc championship that runs from May to October. Most races are part of larger rural events, such as the Cranleigh Show in Surrey, where viewers can experience other events. The BLRA remains un-commercial and donates all profits to organizations that help people who are poor, sick, or in difficulties.
Wife carrying
Every year a small town of Sonkajaervi in Finland hosts the event: the International Wife Carrying Championships. During this competition, husbands have to carry their wives along the track which is 250 metres long and features several barriers on land and a 1-metre deep water pool. Two couples start at the same time and run as fast as they can. The winning couple is the one that completes the course in the shortest time.

When you think of the Himalayas, you may picture tall, rocky, snow-covered peaks. But that's not true.
The subnival （亚冰雪的）region is the zone between the treeline and the snowline. It is 5 to 15 times as large as the areas of glaciers and permanent snow, which means studying it is vital to understanding the Himalayas as a whole.
The treeline is the edge of an ecosystem where trees are able to grow, and beyond the treeline environmental conditions become too tough to allow tree growth. Meanwhile, snowlines are the boundaries on mountains that separate areas with permanent snow （where snow is present for the majority of the year） from areas with seasonal or no snow.
Researchers used satellite data from 1993 to 2018 to measure plant cover between 4, 150 meters and 6, 000 meters above sea level. The scientists discovered that the greatest increase in plant cover was between an altitude of 5, 000 meters and 5, 500 meters. Subnival plants mostly include small bushes and grasses.
Even areas once completely occupied by glaciers now hold rocks covered with mosses （苔藓）, lichen（地衣）, and sometimes even flowers. In addition, the snowline seems to be retreating, while the treeline is expanding. This shows that the region is becoming warmer, causing more melting of snow and allowing vegetation to move up in height.
In the past 40 years, 25% of all Himalayan ice has been lost due to global warming. Himalayan glaciers are reducing by about 0. 5 meters each year. The rate of glacier melting has doubled in this decade. The melting of glaciers increases water in the region, making it wetter. Reduced snow also forces the snowline to move up, providing a greater amount of area for the warm and wet conditions, which are perfect for vegetation growth.
As of now, we do not know whether vegetation will accelerate or slow down the rate of glacier melting.
28. How does the writer develop the third paragraph?
A. By making explanations.
B. By giving some examples.
C. By analyzing cause and effect.
D. By listing specific data.
29. What does the underlined word “retreating” mean in Paragraph 5?
A. Disappearing.
B. Lengthening.
C. Withdrawing.
D. Widening.
30. What is the direct effect of global warming on the Himalayas?
A. The snowline moves up.
B. Glaciers are melting faster.
C. The subnival area is wetter.
D. Plants grow much better.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The Climate of Himalayas Is Changing.
B. Icebergs in the Himalayas Disappear.
C. Plants Are Diverse in the Himalayas.
D. Plant Life Spreads in the Himalayas.

In today's youth culture, it seems as if teens are permanently glued to their cellphones, constantly receiving beeping, buzzing and blinking social media notifications （通知）. We often hear of the harm of social media to teens and young people, but our latest research on young girls and boys has revealed that social media is not always negative.
In some cases, we found that social media can positively influence their health and well-being, by helping them learn about healthy eating or new workouts to try. Besides, social media provides space for young people to talk to each other about issues of health.
For our study, conducted by researchers from the University of Birmingham and Orebro University, we invited over 1, 300 young girls and boys, aged 13-18, from ten UK schools. We were interested in better understanding how young people use social media, and how they feel it impacts their health and well-being. To do this, we selected 84 participants from the main sample and had them take part in small group interviews.
The results showed that social media often had a positive influence on young people's motivation for being physically active and on their ability to make conscious diet choices. Social media also allowed them to access the information they found inspirational, and learn about different apps they could use to be physically active or monitor their progress. They reported that likes, comments, and viewvs on their social media posts also helped them stay motivated to exercise.
Encouragingly, the young people we spoke to were also highly discerning users of social media. They thought carefully about the content they were engaging with online. For instance, the teenagers reported that they would often ignore content that had the potential to lead to harm, such as images or videos that presented unrealistic workouts or expectations for their bodies.
While the risks should certainly not be overlooked, our findings show that social media can have a positive effect on young people's health and well-being. A benefit of social media is that it provides real-time, low-cost information, and support from their peers. Making young people use social media safely, critically and responsibly may thus help them continue to lead a healthy life.
32. What is the main finding of the latest research mentioned in the text?
A. Young people make better use of social media.
B. Teenagers use social media more than expected.
C. Social media proves beneficial to young people.
D. New evidence adds to the harm of social media
33. How did the researchers carry out their study?
A. They made thorough analyses at two universities.
B. They collected data from the database of ten UK schools.
C. They referred to the findings of several previous studies.
D. They conducted group interviews with young girls and boys.
34. The “discerning users” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to the young people who __.
A. have great freedom
B. enjoy special privileges
C. show good judgment
D. have an influence on others
35. What is the author's advice for young social media users?
A. Making full use of their online time
B. Using social media in a smart way
C. Taking full responsibility for their health.
D. Keeping informed of low-cost information.
