Adventure seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot. When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight， she became so fearful of crutches （拐杖） that she didn’t move for three weeks. “I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself. So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day，” says Emma.

She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run—a quarterly event that she hasn’t missed since 2014. “If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year， one in each season， you get Alpha Wolf status，” explains Emma. “This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I’d lose my status.” So she was willing to try anything to get through the course—even with her injured ankle.

“I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel， and he persuaded me to give it a go. Having something to aim for really kept me going.” Emma completed the run wearing a medically approved device and it basically functions like a high-tech artificial leg， allowing users to walk freely. “I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery. I could move around the house and start getting out and about again， which had a real impact on my mental well--being.”

On the day of the race， Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated. Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up her 23rd Wolf Run in five years. “It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going，” says Emma.

24. Why was Emma frightened to use a crutch？

A. She was afraid of recovering slowly. B. She was warned not to move around.

C. She just had an operation on her foot. D. She often got injured when using one.

25. What does the underlined word “gutted” in Paragraph 2 mean？

A. Extremely sad. B. A bit relieved. C. Very surprised. D. Pretty cheerful.

26. What actually made Emma take part in the race？

A. Her new high-tech artificial leg. B. Her fear of letting her friend down.

C. Her strong desire to achieve her ambition. D. Her complete recovery from the operation.

27. What word best describes Emma？

The key to a happy life has nothing to do with getting ahead at work， making money， or traveling around the world. Instead， living your best life and creating meaning are all about one thing： relationships.

A study of adult development has been running at Harvard since 1938， and is now on its second generation of participants—the children of the original study’s subjects. Over decades， the research team collected data about their lives， including their physical and mental health， marital" status （婚姻狀況） and quality， career happiness， etc.

They found the most important aspect in how happy and healthy these men were over time was their relationships. In other words： Finding happiness in life is all about the people you love.

The research doesn’t only include romantic relationships and marriage. Quality， close relationships are important whether they are in the situation of romantic relationships or closeness between friends or family members. The kind of relationship you have is less important than how close you feel with them.

However， the study only included men， and important gender differences exist in how people experience relationships. Some research suggests that men may benefit more from marriage. But they tend to have a harder time keeping friendships; as men get older， they will more likely say they have nobody to discuss important subjects with. So it’s possible that having close relationships throughout their lives might affect men differently than women.

The findings line up with the effects of loneliness. People who are socially isolated （孤立的） have a greater likelihood of strokes （中風(fēng)）， heart attacks， and higher blood pressure， not to mention mental health issues.

Unfortunately for the youngest generations， recent surveys found that young Americans are lonelier than older generations. That will probably have a big impact on how healthy and happy people feel throughout their lives.

28. What should people do according to the findings of the study？

A. Travel far and wide to learn a lot. B. Keep an open mind to be creative.

C. Treasure your time with your loved ones. D. Work hard to be a better one.

29. What can be learned from Paragraph 5？

A. Women are unwilling to participate in the study.

B. Men are better at maintaining a close relationship.

C. Women are not treated equally in scientific research.

D. The findings of the study may not be true for women.

30. Why does the text say the youngest generation is unfortunate？

A. They have nobody to talk to. B. They are more socially isolated.

C. They can’t keep their relationships. D. They suffer physically and mentally.

31. What is the best title for the text？

A. Close Relationships Make a Happy Life B. Men Look Forward to Close Relationships

C. Close Relationships Ensure People’s Health D. Men and Women Differ in Keeping Relationships

Metin Setti at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart， Germany， and his colleagues have developed tiny robots called “microrollers” that can carry cancer drugs and selectively target human breast cancer cells. The team drew inspiration for the design of the robots from white blood cells in the human body， which can move along the walls of blood vessels （血管） against the direction of blood flow.

The microrollers are round and made from glass microparticles. One half of the robot was coated with a thin magnetic nanofilm （磁性納米膜） made from nickel and gold. The other half was coated with the cancer drug doxorubicin as well as molecules that recognize cancer cells.

The team tested the robots using mouse blood and artificial channels lined with human endothelial cells. The robots were exposed to a mixture of cancerous and healthy tissue. They selectively attached to the cancer cells and were activated using UV light to release the doxorubicin.

By applying magnetic fields， the team was able to control the movement of the microrollers， both with and against the flow of blood. The microrollers can reach a speed of up to 600 micrometers per second. “If you come to a spot where you need to take the right path and if you miss it， then you could go back and go to the right one，” says Setti.

In future， the researchers want to use other methods to start the drug release. They also plan to try making microrollers out of materials that would break down in the body over a few weeks or months.

The team hopes to test the microrollers in animals soon. “The rollers need to carry enough cancer drugs， which is why we need to have them in large numbers，” says Setti. “But since we can locally take drugs to the right target， we don’t need huge dosages （劑量）.”

32. What are the microrollers used to do？

A. Repair blood cells. B. Deliver drugs.

C. Improve blood flow. D. Perform operations.

33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the microrollers？

A. Their shape. B. Their advantage. C. Their design. D. Their application.

34. What can we learn about the robots from Paragraph 4？

A. Their direction can be adjusted. B. They might miss the target cells.

C. They might get stuck in the blood. D. Their speed can change automatically.

35. What will the scientists probably do with the microrollers next？

A. Put them to clinical use. B. Sell them in large numbers.

C. Tear them down in the body. D. Experiment with them further.

Dealing with school stress is a must for students during the course of their education. To deal with school stress， try to employ the following strategies.

Create an organized workspace. 36 If you’re working on a computer， consider turning off your Internet browser， or setting limits on yourself so that you don’t end up spending your study time on other online activities.

37 If you have an assignment that feels overwhelming， divide it into several small ones that you know how to do. If you have a long paper， you might start by writing an outline. Then write 5—8 pages on each topic listed in your outline. Combine these short papers to make your long paper.

Don’t wait until the last minute. If you are the kind of person who waits until the night before it is due， you know how stressful that can be. 38 However， the best study relies on information learned in the weeks beforehand.

39 It’s great to be involved in a variety of activities， but if you don’t have enough time to do them all， you’ll end up stressed. Remember that saying no isn’t always selfish， and saying yes isn’t always healthy.

Ask for help. Another person can take a fresh look at your workspace. 40 Consulting a professional organizer might also be an effective way to get a new system in place.

A. Learn to say no.

B. Set attainable short-term goals.

C. Break large assignments into smaller parts.

D. Find a workspace that’s free from various distractions.

E. Participating in colorful activities is highly recommended.

F. You might ask a teacher or a peer for help， if you’re at school.

G. A burst of intense study at the last minute may get you through exams.

Adam， Nick， and Tom were best friends. Five years after their graduation from college， Nick called Adam and Tom， inviting them to celebrate his birthday on his personal yacht （游艇）. They got very excited.

It was a bright and sunny summer day. As Nick was studying the safety measures of the sea journey， he saw Adam and Tom coming towards his yacht. With huge hugs and smiles on every face， the three greeted each other in their usual way. “Thank you boys for coming and making my birthday even more special，” said Nick.

“But before getting started， I hope you both know there is a danger zone at a particular point on this sea，” warned Adam.

“Don’t worry. I will stay away from it. Now let the party begin！” Nick responded， starting to turn the steering wheel （方向盤(pán)） of the yacht.

Treating the friends on the beautiful white yacht sailing on the blue water was a perfect idea. They were having a wonderful time， talking， eating and joking. How time flew！ It started getting dark.

“Hey guys！ It’s time to go back，” Tom said.

“Mr Sailor， turn your ship’s wheel and take us back home，” said Adam.

Little did they know they were going to encounter life-threatening challenges ahead. Unknowingly， Nick crossed the danger zone Adam had mentioned earlier. When realizing this， Nick decided to make a turn immediately. Unfortunately， a strange noise came from the engine and then the yacht stopped. Expert at mending machines， Adam offered to examine the engine and asked Nick to fetch the toolbox. Nick was hurrying to get it when he slipped， falling into the sea water.

“Nick！” Tom and Adam screamed.

Panicked， Nick started shouting for help. Tom rushed inside the yacht to get a life jacket to rescue Nick， but didn’t find one. Instead， he found a long rope and out he rushed with it.

注意：續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150 左右。

Just then Adam shouted on top of his voice， “Nick！ Look， there’s a shark behind you！”

What they had to do was restart the yacht.
