Eventually, he t

10、urned his book collection into a community library.In Colombias capital city of Bogota, libraries tend to be far away from poorer communities. The option of buying new books is non-existent for poor families and having access to a library of books is a luxury. Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family

11、could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him.Today, his community library, “The Strength of Words”

12、, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles.

13、owed to look through the book collection. Adults are also welcome to expand their vision and develop new skills for a better life.Today, the Gutierrez family doesnt merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create more safe spaces for school children to spend their time reading.

14、 This is important for kids living in Bogota where many young people waste time in the streets.Gutierrezs journey to give treasure back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us by identifying needs, investing time and finding a simp

18、oth anxiety and alcohol use disorders. Researchers say the treatment acts like a factory reset for the patients brain.Previous studies by the same team found that too much drinking during adolescence changes a persons brain chemistry in the region of the Arc gene, by decreasing Arc expression in the

19、 amygdala (杏仁核) affecting how people process emotions. When that occurs, it makes someone more likely to suffer from mental health issues and use alcohol too much during adulthood.The new study focused on reprogramming such changes to the brain at a genetic level. “It provides evidence that gene edi

20、ting is a potential antidote(解毒劑) to these effects, offering a kind of factory reset for the brain, if you will,” says Subhash Pandey, study senior author.Using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-dCas9, the team controlled the acetylation (乙?；? and methylation (甲基化) processes in the Arc gene of lab rats.

21、These two processes play key roles in whether a gene is more or less likely to be activated within the person or animal. To start, researchers studied adult rats exposed to alcohol when younger. The team measured anxiety levels using behavioral exams and tracked the rats addiction to alcohol by givi

22、ng them two bottles to choose fromone with water and the other alcohol. When CRISPR promoted acetylation, rats Arc gene expression normalized. This also decreased anxiety and lowered the animals alcohol consumption. In their next experiment, study authors examined some rats without exposure to alcoh

23、ol when younger. They found that promoting methylation caused Arc expression to decrease, leading to an increase in anxiety and drinking.“This study not only helps us better understand what happens in brain developing when adolescents are exposed to alcohol but more importantly, gives us hope that o

24、ne day we will have effective treatments for anxiety and alcohol use disorder,” Pandey reports.28.What does “that” refer to in paragraph 2?A. The consumption of alcohol in adulthood.B. The decrease of chemistry in the amygdala.C. The control of emotions in ones adolescence.D. The change of brain che

25、mistry in Arc gene region.29.How does the new study get the results?A. By using chemical tools. B. By analyzing brain structures.C. By referring to previous studies. D. By doing experiments on animals.30.According to Subhash Pandey, _.A. Acetylation may relieve alcohol use disorderB. Gene editing ha

26、s a wide use in brain developmentC. Gene editing can save patients from chemical poisonsD. Methylation may contribute to the management of emotions31.What may be the purpose of the research?A. To recommend a factory reset. B. To help treat physical problems.C. To seek ways to improve mental health.

27、D. To persuade adolescents not to drink.DThe arts are an expression or application of human creativity and imagination. They help with young peoples development. Therefore, its important that all young people be exposed to the arts. They allow them to realize their potential through different forms

28、of the arts at a young age and encourage self-expression and creativity.Often, youths dont realize their potential due to the lack of exposure. If they arent exposed to the arts, they wouldnt even know they may have the talent or potential. If its discovered at an early age, they can gradually use t

29、heir potential through higher education in the arts. Some might even choose to pursue it as a hobby or an occupation in the long run. I started learning to play the piano at five and now, at 15, I have realized my interest and passion in piano which would have been unknown without exposure to it.Bes

30、ides, youths can express themselves through exposure to the arts. Facing stress from school or their personal lives, they can find a new channel through artistic expressions such as dance or painting. Some who find it hard to express themselves might choose to bottle it up, leading to many psycholog

31、ical problems such as depression.The arts also boost creativity. They let youths enhance their problem-solving skills by thinking out of the box. Researchers have found people tend to do something creative after engaging in the arts.However, some critics may argue the arts will distract youths from

32、studies. This has proven incorrect. A study in 2010 found that greater exposure to the arts led to higher graduation rates and test scores.In conclusion, the exposure of the arts to youths is important as it helps them recognize their capability in the arts and express their feelings and imagination

33、. We can do so by being exposed to the arts and being more willing to learn something new. This gives us endless opportunities to acquire new skills and become a better version of ourselves.32. What can we learn from paragraph 1?A. Youths cant get access to the arts without imagination.B. Young peop

34、le get exposed to music to become creative.C. The exposure to the arts makes for youths development.D. Human creativity is the consequence of learning the arts.33.The author mentions his experience of learning to play the piano to _.A. show his talent and potential in the artsB. indicate the choice

Refusing to admit ones own shortcomings.B. Drinking up a bottle of wine to erase anxiety.C. Locking oneself

36、up in a room for a long time.D. Avoiding sharing ones emotions with anyone.35. What does the last paragraph mainly say about youths exposure to the arts?A. Its appeal to the young. B.

The kids have been out of the nest, and I have been retired. Now I could take some time for ME! 36 As a lifelong list maker, I did my research. There were relaxation activities like med

38、itation (冥想), exercise, socializing. I was determined to find the one thing that truly filled my soul. And so began my not-so-smooth journey to finding myself.Meditation was the first to come and go. I never fully understood how to shut my mind off. I always felt like I was just waiting for it to en

39、d. Next, I tried “Teatime as Me Time.” 37 I imagined sitting across from a dear friend, drinking elegantly from delicate cups, but that is as far as it ever went. I have the fancy tea set (never used) and a shelf full of tea packages that I will never consume. Exercise is a highly recommended me-tim

40、e activity. But for me, after a week or so of training, exercise time was killing me. 38 Many other me-time experiments left me wanting less of them, not more. I felt like a failure at this me-time thing. I could spend the whole morning watching the big, fuzzy bees in my garden. In those moments, ti

41、me stood still. 39 I discovered that I truly desired less emphasis on me altogether.Maybe the experts had this me-time thing all wrong, and it had little to do with “me” or “time” as I was defining it. Perhaps we are too concerned with how we spend our time instead of enjoying the nothing-ness of si

42、mply being. Instead of viewing it as a hesitation between activities, we can shift our awareness into welcoming timelessness. 40 Maybe a better version of “me time is simply “be time” . or, better yet, “bee time”!A. Taking the focus off myself was a relief.B. Of course, there were many possibilities

43、.C. At first, I was very enthusiastic about this.D. So, I eventually crossed these ideas off my list.E. Sitting around feeling special doesnt feel special to me.F.
