I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother
never believed in email, or cell phones in general. I was literally waiting to get a letter to
see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me.
So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I
did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged
about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever
asked me to.
Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento,
a girl being bullied in rural Kansas, all asking me to write them a letter and give them a
reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love
Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is
that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world
where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen.
I've been carrying this mail crate （ 大 木 箱 ） with me these days, which is a
magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was
traumatized （受精神创伤） from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters
throughout the house as a way to say, "Come back to me. " And the man, who had decided
to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by
strangers who were there for him.
These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be
needed, even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and
the mailing.

When it comes to heart attacks, the first image that often comes to mind is that of a
middle-aged man, grasping his chest and struggling with a pained expression. This is what
you’re most likely to see when searching “heart attack” online. You’re far less likely to
think of a female heart attack victim.
According to Forbes, medical research has traditionally been led by men, which
undoubtedly leads to a lack of female-related data and information in medical research.
From diagnosis to treatment, gender differences are often overlooked. For example, a 2017
study found that women are at greater risk of dying of heart attacks than men.
The reason lies in the difference in heart attack symptoms between men and women.
According to the Mayo Clinic, one of the top-ranking hospitals in the US, women are less
likely to have chest pains, which are considered as atypical symptom of heart attacks.
Instead, they have more atypical symptoms, including shoulder pain and arm pain. As a
result, many women were initially given a mistaken diagnosis , delaying access to the right
treatment and increasing the fatality rate.
Even if a female is correctly and immediately diagnosed with a heart attack, there’s
another problem: medicine. Research has found that certain medicines used to dissolve
blood clots (凝块) right after a heart attack can be helpful for a lot of men, but might lead

to serious bleeding issues in women.
Although women are no longer seen as inferior in most parts of the world today, the
fields of healthcare and medicine still see a male’s body as the “standard” human body.
For example, Valium has been promoted as the “mother’s little helper” for treating anxiety
among women. However, a study noted that the medicine developer had never conducted a
single trial involving women until 2003.
Take a look at the medicine you have taken recently. There’s always one
recommended dosage (剂量) for adults. But who is this dosage meant for? An adult in
general, or specifically an adult man?

8. What is the main point of the first paragraph?
A. There exists a gender gap in online searching.
B. Female heart attacks are often observed by researchers.
C. People have a fixed gender impression of heart attacks.
D. Researches on heart attacks are mainly conducted by men.
9. What does the underlined word “ atypical ” in paragraph 3 mean?
2
3
A. Mild.
B. Fatal.
C. Natural.
D.Unusual.
0. Why is the death rate for heart attacks higher in women than in men?
A. Symptoms on women are more severe.
B. Women don’t seek medical help timely.
C. Symptoms on women are more misleading.
D. Women resist proper treatment and medicine.
1. What can be inferred from the passage?
3
A. Some medicines are more effective on female bodies.
B. Women are disadvantaged groups in the medical field.
C. Medicine trials involving women are being conducted.
D. Women’s health concerns were a priority in medical research.

Parts of East Asia could see “rivers in the sky” form due to climate change, bringing
record-breaking levels of rainfall with them, a new study has revealed.
The team, from the University of Tsukuba, Japan, have already seen clear signs of
global warming hitting parts of the country, so they wanted to see how bad things could get.
“
It’s been becoming more and more clear that global warming means more than just
warmer temperatures,” they wrote.
One particularly-damaging extreme weather event is an increase in rainfall to

unexpected and unprecedented (前所未有的) levels, which can result in flooding. To help
predict rainfall events, researchers looked to one of the causes — the interaction of
atmospheric rivers with mountain ranges.
“
As the name suggests, atmospheric rivers are long, narrow bands of concentrated
water vapour flowing through the atmosphere,” the team explained. “When one of these
bands meets a barrier, such as a mountain range, it can produce extreme levels of rainfall
or snowfall.”
Parts of East Asia have been subjected to an increasing number of damaging, extreme
weather events over the past decade.
To understand the impact, the team used high-resolution global atmospheric
circulations model simulations ( 模 拟 ) that virtually re-create the conditions in the
atmosphere. They then looked at other regional climate models, comparing simulations
based on real, meteorological data (气象数据) from 1951 to 2010 to predictions for 2090.
Authors used the climate scenario that would result in 4℃ of warming, compared to
preindustrial levels — which is significantly more than 2℃ target set as part of Paris
Climate Agreement.
First author, Professor Yoichi Kamae, said that their simulations predict strengthened
water vapour transport, as well as increased rainfall at unprecedented levels. In simulations
the greatest amounts of atmospheric river-related rainfall occurred on the southern and
western slopes of mountains in East Asia, including in Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and
northeastern China. They had to limit the study to East Asia due to computer time and
processing limitations, but predict it would apply to other regions around the world.

2. What’s the possible consequence of the global warming?
A. It contributes to polluted air.
B. It leads to hot and rainy climate.
C. It only results in the rise of temperature. D. It causes the destruction of more species.
3. The author wrote Paragraph 4 to ________.
3
A. describe the new study
B. introduce atmospheric rivers
D. warn people of global warming
C. analyze the cause of rainfall

4. How is the research carried to know the effect?
A. By comparison. B. By discussion.
5. What’s the attitude of Professor Yoichi Kamae toward their simulations?
C. By examples. D. By explanation
A. They are risky.
C. They are perfect.
B. They are valueless.
D. They are convincing.

As our lives become more closely connected with the digital age, it’s more important
than ever to keep the spark of human connections, a key part of which is making small talk.

Here’s how to master the art of small talk.
The cornerstone of effective small talk lies in developing genuine interest. Genuine
interest is about actively seeking to understand the other person, valuing their perspectives
and appreciating the uniqueness they bring to the conversation. 37
Small talk extends beyond spoken words; it includes the art of observation. As you
engage in conversation, pay attention to the speaker’s body language, facıal expressions
and tone of voice.
38
Being familiar with them not only helps you navigate the
conversation with sensitivity but also enables you to establish a deeper connection by
respecting the slight differences of the other person’s communication style.
Actually listening and connecting with someone is essential for a conversation. By
providing your undivided attention, you convey respect and interest in what the other
person has to say.
