“Why do you have 9,632 emails in your inbox (收件箱)？
I looked at my husband,“Um...is that a lot? How many are in your inbox?”
“About twenty," he replied. I looked at my inbox. There were emails I had meant to deal with; emails from customers and the kids' schools with information I needed; there were time-sensitive offers I'd never got around to investigating; endless updates from the social media platforms I subscribed to, and the rest I had kept just in case.
I realized that I had become an email hoarder (囤积者). I clearly had a problem and I needed to act. I paused my work and began to delete unwanted emails. An hour later I made little progress.
“Just delete the whole lot," my husband strongly suggested.
Could I do that? It was appealing. But I paused. I couldn't. I did have a problem! Then I decided to compromise. I kept the last month's emails and deleted everything else. I looked at my almost empty inbox. Wow, it felt so good.
To be honest, I feel genuine anxiety about deleting emails, FOMO (错失恐惧症) is a real problem for many people like me with email issues. So many emails are "offers". What if that amazing offer never comes up again? But the fact is that they do...frequently. What's more,these great offers are often time-sensitive and so we hang on to them "just in case", then miss the deadline anyway and still don't delete them.
I found it useful to limit my emails to 50 and I use an email system which ensures all school emails go into a separate inbox, so I ean see at a glance when "Dress like a Roman" day or "Bring an onion to school" day (yes really) is coming up! I feel more in control and organized now.I'm on top of my inbox. Now I'm off to handle the cupboard under the stairs!
24.What was the author's immediate reaction to her husband's suggestion??
A.She approved of it. B.She felt annoyed at it.
C.She hesitated about it. D.She was astonished at it.
25.What led to the author's anxiety about deleting emails?
A.The deadline that she forgot to meet.
B.The fact that she liked keeping emails.
C.The offer that she might never give.
D.The fear that she would miss out something.
26.What does the author do with her inbox at last?
A.Adopt an email system to classify all emails.
B.Separate unwanted emails into a new inbox.
C.Reply to school emails as soon as possible.
D.Set a restriction to the number of emails.
27.What is the text mainly about?
A.How the author became an email hoarder.
B.How the author takes her inbox in hand.
C.Why FOMO is a real problem.
D.Why emails turned out to be a headache.

This fall, students at the University of Massachusetts found a new menu at their dining commons: the "diet for a cooler planet” menu. This meant herb-roasted lamb, raised with a carbon-friendly approach. It included sweet potatoes that had been picked from a local farm's field post-harvest. The options were plant-heavy, locally grown, and involved little to no packaging.
"We wanted to let students participate in climate action by making choices about their food," says Kathy Wicks, sustainability director for UMass Dining. The university is not alone in this effort. Increasingly, American consumers and institutions are thinking about how their food choices factor into climate change. For many, small choices at the grocery store, dining hall, and restaurant can feel more accessible than big-ticket options like buying a fuel-efficient car or installing home solar panels.
Small changes in dietary habits may make a big difference. Climate activists often target fossil fuels and transportation systems, but studies point to the food system as a significant contributor to global warming. According to Project Drawdown, a research organization that evaluates climate solutions, the way food is grown, transported, and consumed accounts for about a quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Beef is a regular target. "If, on average, Americans cut a quarter pound of beef per week from their diet, it's like taking 10 million cars off the road a year," says Sujatha Bergen, director of health campaigns for the Natural Resources Defense Council. Food waste ranks third among climate solutions. While much waste occurs before consumers are involved-food left on the field or "chucked" because it does not fit appearance standards, Americans also throw out a lot of food they have purchased: about $1,600 worth a year per family of four.
“People are beginning to understand that their food choices make a big impact on climate," says Megan Larmer, director of regional food at the Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming in New York. But, she cautions substantial change will need to come from the whole food system.
28.What is the purpose of the new menu at the University of Massachusetts?
A.To market the cold dishes.
B.To reduce the cost of packaging.
C.To popularize the plant-heavy diet.
D.To promote low carbon awareness.
29.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A.Food is a decisive factor for climate change.
B.Food choices matter much to global warming.
C.Universities are working together in climate action.
D.Fuel-efficient cars are not affordable for consumers.
30.What does Sujatha Bergen say about beef?
A.It has great influence on carbon reduction.
B.It is popular among millions of car drivers.
C.It has a close relationship with gas emission.
D.It plays a significant role in American's diet.
31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Food System Reform:A Successful Trial
B.Global Warming:An Approaching Danger
C.Carbon Emission:A Killer,or Healer?
D.Low Carbon Diet:A Craze,or More?
D
I've tried a bunch of strategies to increase my intelligence. I've made flashcards to memorize words. I've subscribed to daily crosswords. What did I get for it? Average scores on standardized tests. A lot of unfinished puzzles. But I can't say any of those strategies made me noticeably smarter.
Paul, a biology and social science writer, challenges us to rethink what we think about thinking. Our assumption that intelligence solely exists within the isolated organism of brain leaves us flummoxed by paradoxes like this one: how London resident Ben Pridmore can remember the order of 1,400 randomly shuffled playing cards but can't remember his friends' birth dates.O ur bodies, our social networks and our surroundings,she argues, are "extra-neural" inputs that have a profound influence on cognition (认知).
To illustrate the impact of physical spaces on cognition, Paul tells the story of Montaigne, a 16th century thinker who might have been the first to design a man cave and style it in ways to promote deep thought. She shares reflections on the transformative effect on mental well-being of the 150-foot ceilings in ancient Roman public baths, and the reasons why the large stone pillars (柱子) of the Salk Institute can foster expansive thinking.
She couples the experiences of Daniel Kahneman with contemporary neuroscientific studies to explain the benefits of physical movement for cognitive focus and memory. She uses this work to convincingly highlight how the daily routine at school-with its relative shortage of leisure time-is a drawback to the development of children's attention span.
Paul does not offer do's and don'ts for designing childhood education centers. She does not advise directly on how to prepare for a public address at a board meeting. However, the diverse and deeply researched information she presents about the impact of atmosphere, our bodies and the people around us on our thought process can certainly be translated into that.Our minds are bigger than our brains, and if we embrace that fact, there's so much more we can accomplish.
32.How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A.By listing examples.
B.By presenting a setting.
C.By providing evidence.
D.By sharing the experience.
33.What does the underlined word“flummoxed" mean in Paragraph27
A.confused. B.influenced C.impressed D.attracted
34.What does Paul find about influential factors on cognition?
A.Large stone pillars are helpful to develop critical mind.
B.Lack of rest could do harm to the cognitive development.
C.Learning from great minds helps to facilitate deep thought.
D.Good childhood academic education well promote cognitive focus.
35.Which of the following might Paul agree with?
A.More public speeches at meetings are helpful.
B.Brain training is not equal to intelligence development.
C.Thought process can be changed into diverse information.
D.Intelligence is best cultivated in childhood education centers.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is recently reported that people's collective stress has reached alarming levels. __36__ It can have serious consequences. A study found that people experiencing long-lasting burnout have up to a 35 percent greater risk of early death. Don't panic. Here are some active steps you can take to prevent burnout:
Look for meaning at work
You can tolerate stress longer if you believe you're doing something purposeful and worthwhile. You are more likely to experience bumout-inducing stress when something seems out of control, against your will, or totally meaningless. __37__
Look for meaning outside of work
If you are struggling to make you work meaningful, giving priority to life outside of work might be especially beneficial. A research shows that people more likely to experience a greater sense of engagement when on the job are those with a hobby.
__38__
Use separate email accounts for work
