CHRONOLOGICA is a fascinating journey through time，from the foundation of Rome to the creation of the internet. Along the way are tales of kings and queens，hot air balloons and monkeys in space。

Thomas Edison and Alexander the Great, this book also gives somebody account of the lives of lesser—known individuals including the explorer Mungo Park and sculptor Gutzon Borglum。

”
Ms。

Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued：“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me。

Regardless of our motives，I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”
“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work。

You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart."

A new study has discovered that meditation(冥想)and oxygen sport together reduce depression．The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination，done twice a week for only two months，reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40percent．
”We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non﹣depressed students，"said lead author Dr．Brandon Alderman．"It is the first time that both of
these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression．"
Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect in combating depression．Alderman and Dr．Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training （MAP）enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them．
Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport．They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing,enabling those with depression to accept moment﹣to﹣moment changes in attention．Shors,who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus ﹣part of the brain involved in memory and learning﹣says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive．
The idea for the human intervention（干预）came from her laboratory studies，she says，with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events．
By learning to focus their attention and exercise,people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past,Shors says．
”We know these treatments can be p racticed over a lifetime and that they will be effective in improving mental health．”said Alderman．"The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost．”
28. What made the research so different？
A. Adopting a way of meaningful talk．
B. Combining the two ways to treat depression．
C。

Treating depression with special medicine．D。

Comparing the depressed with the non﹣depressed．
29。

The underlined word ”combating" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ．
A. fighting B。

identifying C。

distinguishing D。

examining
30. What did the participants do in the research？
A。

They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking． B。

They thought quietly and then took exercise．
C。

They took exercise longer than they thought． D. They took exercise while thinking quietly．
31. What is Shors’ main purpose of her studies?
A. To find out certain brain cells of humans．B。

To study the production of new brain cells．
C. To offer people a new method to treat stress．D。

To decide the links between stress and exercise．

See a cell phone cover that you like on Taobao？Forget about placing an order，paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you。

In the near future, you’ll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting “print” on your computer。

You might find it hard to believe that you could actually “print" an object like you would a picture。

But it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays ink onto paper line by line, modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer，from the bottom to the top，gradually building up a shape.
Instead of ink，the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin(树脂）and certain metals. The thinner each layer is—from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair—the smoother and finer the object will be.
This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then，it was barely affordable for most people，so few knew about it。

Last year，though, saw a big change in the 3D printing industry—printers became much cheaper. For example，10 years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost ￡20,000，while now they cost only about ￡1，000，according to the BBC。

Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses, 3D printing can create just about anything you can think of—jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs。

In fact，scientists from Cornell
University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer，according to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.
However, as 3D printing becomes more common, it may bring about certain problems—such as piracy. “Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out kitchen appliances，on your personal 3D printer，who will visit a store again？” an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun？
32. According to the article，in the future, the 3D printing technology will _______.
A. enable people to make better purchases online。

B. change the way we make many products。

C。

be applied as widely in our daily life as computers。

D. shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online。

33。

What happened in the 3D printing industry last year？
A。

The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory。

B。

The 3D printing technology began to be used in various fields.
C. The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time.
D。

The 3D printer became more affordable for consumers.
34。

How is the last paragraph developed？
A。

By giving examples. B。

By making comparisons。

C。

By analyzing the cause and effect。

D. By presenting research
findings。

35。

What is the best title of the passage？
A。

Great Demand for 3D Printers. B。

Technology in the Future。

C。

Online Shopping Disappearing。

D. Printing out Everything.
