When Ryad Alsous arrived in England, he knew one thing: he wanted to keep bees. The insects had been a major part of his life in Syria, and fleeing his war-torn homeland. it was a precious certainty amid so much chaos.
As a lecturer at the University of Damascus, Ryad had built a respected reputation for his research on Syrian bees. With over 500 hives, he produced over ten tons of honey every year. Fleeing his country in 2013, he lost everything.
Yet even with all his knowledge and experience, Ryad didn't know if his dream would be possible in the UK. “I found that there is a lot of rain and the temperature isn’t very high. All the time I was thinking. How can I set up another project here ”
The wet weather wasn’t Ryad’s only challenge. The language barrier and a vastly overqualified CV made it difficult to find work. Eventually. Ryad volunteered at the Huddersfield Beekeepers' Association, but he was still without a colony of his own. Finally, Facebook brought him into contact with a woman in Manchester who was willing to donate an entire colony of rare British black bees.
“In one year. I was able to split the colony she gave me into seven. I realised that the beekeeping project could become very profitable and successful in the UK.”
Soon. Ryad found himself with 17 hives, but he wasn't finished yet. His inner teacher was itching to get out .Through City of Sanctuary, a British refugee charity, Ryad began to run beekeeping workshops for refugees and job seekers. The Buzz Project was born.
Today, the Buzz Project houses 14 hives, where Ryad shares his expertise. It has started to bear fruit. Last year, they produced-half ton of honey (around 1,000 jars). But for Ryad, the most important thing is bringing people together.
. "We have local people, job seekers and volunteers, in addition to refugees. All of them work together doing the same job. The exchange between the groups, the information and skills, helps them integrate very well and improve their language skills” he says.
24.Why did Ryad come to England
A.To keep bees. B. To do research.
C. To seek shelter. D. To run business.
25.Which factor posed a challenge to Ryad at first

You may have heard about Amadeus Mozart, a classical composer from the 18th century. But have you ever heard about the Mozart effect
The Mozart effect first came to be known to the public in 1993. A study published in the journal Science found that children who listened to Mozart’s music, for ten minutes showed a clear improvement in spatial (空间的) reasoning tests than those who listened to other sounds that can help people relax. Another study also examined the long-term effects of Mozart on the brains of kids. A group of 3- to 4-yeard-old kids were given music lessons for six months. After the lessons, the performance of the kids on a spatial reasoning test saw 30 percent improvement as compared to children who undertook other training or no training at all for that long.
As a result of these studies, the popularity of Mozart’s music has grown. Some schools in the US started to play Mozart to children, and it even led the southern state of Georgia to provide babies with free Mozart CDs. And the findings further showed the importance of music in the cognitive development of children.
Now we know the Mozart effect shows playing Mozart benefits brain development. But how does that happen The classical music pathways in the brain and the neural (神经的) trails we use for spatial reasoning are quite alike. When we listen to classical music or learn to play this kind of music, especially Mozart’s music, the spatial pathways in the brain are stimulated (刺激) and prepared for use. This makes the mind more active, leading to more intelligence.
As parents, you do not need to wait until your kid is in primary school to start music lessons. Most children between the age of four and five are ready to start learning the basics of music. Early intervention (干预) can help your baby grow into a smart adult, besides improving his or her academic performance and life skills.
28.What can we learn about children listening to Mozart’s music
A.They show great interest in creating music.
B.They could perform spatial tasks better.
C.They find his music difficult to understand.
D.They could hold their attention much longer.
29.The author introduces the Mozart effect mainly by ________.
A.explaining data B.stating arguments
C.providing research results D.analyzing experts’ words
30.Why is classical music beneficial to brain development
A.It makes the mind calm and clear.
B.It fixed some damage to neural trails.
C.It helps awaken some hidden memories.
D.It causes the brain’s spatial pathways to start to work.
31.What are parents advised to do to help their children be smart adults
A.Train children to form good learning habits.
B.Develop an interest in music themselves.
C.Perform music with children as much as possible.
D.Get children to start music lessons early on.
D
The world is getting greener. That’s according to Robert Mike. He has been mining data collected by an orbiting NASA camera that monitors green vegetation on the earth’s surface, day by day. He showed that the amount of our planet’s land surface covered by green leaves increased these years. Robert Mike was able to find what caused leaf cover to increase or decrease. In some places, change in leaf cover actually resulted from weather and climate changes. The growing season is getting longer in some temperate areas, and the rising carbon dioxide levels may be producing bigger, leafier plants.
One large area of Brazil lost plants. “I personally checked the data, and that's because of drought,” Mike says. The most unusual changes were the result of human decisions in China and India though. Both countries have been getting a lot greener.
Molly Brown, a geographer, has seen this greening up close. “These are really good examples of how policy can really come into play,” she says. Brown says the greening of India comes from a huge expansion of irrigated agriculture: Instead of having just crops when it’s raining, they also have a whole six months of cropping and greenness when it’s not raining.
This version of greening isn’t really so great for the environment though. The irrigation drains (排出) groundwater:Vegetation is wiped away at harvest time and the extra fertilizer farmers use releases greenhouse gases.
In China, though, about half of the new leaf cover that Mike detected appears to be the result of a huge reforestation effort. It’s a government-sponsored attempt to prevent terrible dust storms that resulted from earlier deforestation. “They are really doing a good job,” Brown says. “They have a large and complete program of tree growing, tree planting and tree maintenance.”
32.What did Robert Mike get from the data
A.The amount of carbon dioxide. B.The extent of global warming.
C.The conditions of weather change. D.The causes of leaf cover change.
33.What does the underlined phrase “come into play” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Make a difference. B.Come to an end. C.Play a trick. D.Lose track.
34.What is the author’s attitude towards the way of greening in India
A.Confused. B.Doubtful. C.Unconcerned. D.Supportive.
35.How did China become greener according to the text
A.By planting more trees. B.By using fertilizer to grow crops.
C.By making full use of groundwater. D.By developing irrigated agriculture.

How to improve communication while wearing a mask
Eye contact
Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. ____36____. Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left—the eyes.

If you feel the need to speak louder, just be aware that raising your voice can alter the message you are trying to send. Changing the tone of your voice can change the whole conversation, so instead of increasing volume, try improving enunciation (清晰的发音).

B.The impact of your voice
C.Just like any conversation, mistakes will be made

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I was moving as fast as I could, stepping cautiously from rock to rock along the uneven jetty(栈桥). Far ahead, I could see the back of my brother’s sandy hair and the bright orange of his shorts.
“Too slow, sister!” I heard Sam yell as he hopped with ease.
“ I’ll show him,” I thought, and attempted a double jump. What a mistake! My left foot came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks. scraping my ankle.” “Ouch!” I yelled. I tried to wiggle(扭动) my foot out, but my shoe was stuck. I bent closer to the rock and that’ s when I saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone the color of water, attached to a glittery gold chain. It was just lying there on the wet sand, and a few seconds later it was in my pocket.
Sam squinted(眯着眼睛看) in the sun. Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the summer I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket, pushing each corner of the square stone into my finger. I was dizzy, but I didn’t want Sam to notice. He liked to tell everybody my business.
“Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival! It happened to be perfect for sand art!
“Ryan wasted her allowance on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale!” They were antique little pig and cost only 50 cents.
My family calls me their “little collector. Some mean kids at school call me “trash girl”.
Sam and I walked along the main street, the small buildings giving us a break from the sun. Through the window of the candy shop, I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window’s glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924.
Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster. The necklace looked different from the one I clutched in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago. We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought.

Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought. So far, there were a variety of things like mini cola bottles and shakers. I stared at the stone, so clean and polished. Could it be Chrissy’s Was it a very special necklace Should I return it to her I paced back and forth in the room anxiously, not knowing what to do. Having struggled for a long time, I finally decided to call the number on the poster and get in touch with Chrissy. I told her that I might have something that belonged to her and made an appointment with her. ( 93)
Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop. We were drinking milkshakes and sharing an order of sweet potato fries. Looking at the blue stone in her hand with her tearful eyes, she told me that the necklace was a gift from her mom before she got sick and she was grateful to me for returning the necklace to her. “Holding onto it somehow makes things a little better.” she said. I couldn’t agree more with her. It dawned on me that I became “ a treasure girl” instead of “a trash girl” called by the mean kids at school.
