A
Older adults who sleep six hours or fewer a night may have elevated risk for dementia(痴呆症) and other cognitive (认知的) issues, a new study finds.
Researchers at Stanford University measured seniors' (ages 65 to 85) dementia risk and cognitive abilities, finding higher risk in those patients who regularly slept six or fewer hours compared to those who slept seven or eight hours. Those seniors who slept nine or more hours also had lower cognitive functions and other health issues, but the researchers didn't find the same high dementia risk in this group.
The findings demonstrate how important it is for adults to maintain a healthy sleep cycle, especially as they get older.
As adults age, it's common for their sleep patterns to change or becomedisrupted— leading to longer, shorter, or more irregular sleep. This disruption may be linked to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, impacting seniors' ability to remember information, problem-solve, and go through everyday behaviors. Sleep disruption can also be caused by or heighten depression, cardiovascular disease（冠心病）, and other conditions.
A recommended sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours, the researchers said. Six or fewer hours corresponded to short sleep, while nine or more hours corresponded to long sleep.
The Stanford researchers measured levels of beta amyloid, a protein in the brain that is typically found in high levels when a patient develops Alzheimer's. In addition, the researchers used several tests for memory, attention, spatial skills, and executive function to identify patients' cognitive abilities. Those patients sleeping for six hours or fewer a night were more likely to develop dementia, the researchers found. The low-sleep patients had higher levels of beta amyloid.
The Stanford researchers found that patients with lower sleep also performed worse on memory tests, while those with higher sleep (more hours) performed worse on executive function tests，which measure the brain's ability to switch between different tasks.
―The main takeaway is that it is important to maintain healthy sleep late in life, Winer told CNN.
1. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. difficult
B. disordered
C. dissolved
D. different
2. According to the findings, which of the following is NOT related to the disrupted sleep?
A. It is more likely to cause old people to have bad memories over issues.
B. It may contribute to dementia, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses.
C. Some daily behaviors perhaps differ from those whose sleeping is normal.
D It tends to bring all the old people to undergo brain scans and cognitive tests.
3. What can we infer from the study?
A. A proper sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours.
B. Low and high sleep patients were both poor at memory tests.
C. Executive function test is applied to measure the capacity of brain.
D. Keeping a healthy sleep for older adults late in life is crucial.
B
The common use of Google Maps, a navigation(导航) app on smartphones, raises the age-old question we meet with any technology:What skills are we losing? But also, crucially: What capabilities are we gaining?
People who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps usually experience lots of confusion with digital maps. For example, they may mess up the direction of north and south, and you can see only a small section at a time. But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Despite being a frequent traveler, I’m so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years. What seems unnecessary to some has been a significant expansion of my own capabilities.
Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires a specific skill set. There is nothing natural about them. In many developed nations, street names and house numbers are meaningful, and instructions such as “go north for three blocks and then west” usually make sense. In Istanbul, in contrast, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals rarely use street names, and house numbers often aren’tsequentialeither because after buildings 1, 2 and 3 were built, someone squeezed in another house between 1 and 2, and now that’s 4. But then 5 will maybe get built after 3, and 6 will be between 2 and 3. Besides, the city is full of winding and ancient streets that meet with newer ones. Therefore, instructions as simple as “go north” would require a helicopter. I got lost all the time.
But since I used Google Maps, I travel with a lot more confidence, and my world has opened up. And because I go to more places more confidently, I believe my native navigation skills have somewhat improved, too.
That brings me back to my original question: while we often lose some skills after seeking convenience from technology, this new setup may also allow us to expand our capabilities and do something more confidently. Maybe when technology closes a door, we should also look for the doors it opens.
4. How does the author feel about Google Maps?
A Confusing. B. Unnecessary. C. Complicated. D. Helpful.
5. Which contributes to the difficulty of finding ways in Istanbul?
A. Strange street names.
B. Ordinary paper maps.
C. Complex road arrangements.
D. Lack of road instructions.
6. What does the underlined word “sequential” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. In a fixed order.
B. In good condition.
C. Of great importance.
D. Of the same kind.
7. What column of a newspaper may this passage belong to?
A. Fashion.
B. Opinion.
C. Society.
D. Geography.

In order to develop the pandemic-stricken economy, China recovered the street vendors（商贩）in a new nation-wide method known as “street stall economy'', allowing residents to set up open-air shops on the sidewalks or other available public spaces.
Street vendors were once an important part ofChina's economy and urban landscape. However, sinceChina's economy took off in the last decade, street vendors have gradually disappeared from the streets and many of them opened shops of their own.
Fast forward to today, street vendors have come into our sight again after cities such asChengduand Yantai succeeded in creating hundreds of thousands of jobs by giving street stalls permission to operate.China's tech industry was quick to jump on the street vendor trend, with tech giants including Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan and flocking todish outcheap loans, offer support and payment solutions to millions of owners of newly established small businesses.
Ant Financial, Alibaba's fintech arm, promised its mobile wallet app Alipay will give interest-free loans to 30 million vendors, and 70 billion RMB of interest-free credit line to consumers to make purchases everywhere, including street vendors.
provided 50 billion RMB worth of quality goods for street vendors, and provided each one of them with a maximum 100,000 RMB interest-free loan to stock up.
Tencent's WeChat announced to offer payment solutions, marketing supports and even training for up to 50 million street vendors, with the end goal of digitally transforming them to increase their income.
Guangzhoucity partnered with WeChat this month to hold a live streaming shopping festival to improve sales of local produce. In attempts to promote various live streaming platforms, many tech CEOs also made their own live streamed e-commerce debuts（首次亮相）selling goods coming from all over the country.
8. What does the underlined part “dish out" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. turn down.
B. provide with.
C. pay off.
D. apply for.
9. Compared with and Tencent, what unique measure did Ant Financial take?
A. It provides interest-free loans for vendors.
B. It offers interest-free credit line to customers.
C. It provides quality goods for street vendors.
D. It offers marketing support to businessmen.
10. What's the purpose of the cooperation between WeChat andGuangzhoucity?
A. To volunteer to train street vendors.
B. To give away free goods to the poor.
C. To promote to develop the local economy.
D. To help CEOs make their own streaming platforms.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Chengdu and Yantai Succeeded in Creating Job Opportunities
B. "Street Vendor Economy” Greatly Increases People's Income
C. The Whole Nation Are Involved in a New Economy Model
D.China's Major Tech Companies Are Helping With "Street Vendor Economy”

For as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.
I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to
live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.
I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self­improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.
I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self­reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self­hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.
I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.
12. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?
A. She could change her weight at will.
B. She had different beauty standards from others.
C. She tried to love others to build her confidence.
D. She was greatly influenced by others' opinions.
13. Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”?
A. She was poorly disciplined.
B. She failed to celebrate “skinny”．
C. She was labelled as lazy for her weight.
D. She put on more weight after entering adulthood.
14. What caused the author to make a change?
A. Her lighter body.
B. A troublesome illness.
C. Popular beauty standards.
D. Others' critical comments.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Beauty matters.
B. Opinions vary.
C. Worth your weight.
D. Beyond your limits.

I'm worried that you've been addicted to share pictures in WeChat circle recently. You even share all sort of photos in your daily life. Of course, WeChat makes better to understand each other and makes our life more color1 ful, which is very convenient for us to communicate with. However, there exist some potential trouble if we
overshare. One serious problem is leaking privacy, that may cause a lot of trouble. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortably, for they think you are showing off.
Thus, neither should we post our personal information, or should we blindly add strangers to a list of friends. It's much wise to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful, such as reading books or taking exercise.
