A previously hidden corridor buried deep in the 4500-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt has been mapped in detail for the first time and researchers have also taken a glimpse inside using tiny camera called endoscopic camera (内窥镜照相机).
The corridor was first discovered in 2016, but researchers didn't want to damage the monument to gain access. The pyramid is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing, and was, for millennia, the world's tallest human -made structure at 146 meters. It was built around 2560 BC during the reign of the pharaoh (法老) Khufu.
Using a technique called cosmic-ray muon radiography (宇宙射线μ子成像), an international team of researchers was able to certify that the corridor was 9metres long, with across section of about 2 meters by 2 meters.
Cosmic-ray muon radiography tracks the 1level of muons (介子) passing through the pyramid. In the technique, researchers use muon detectors which are placed at various points around the monument. Muons are partially absorbed by the stone used to build the pyramids, which means the method allows researchers to identify cavities (洞) inside the structure.
This approach has been used to map the internal structures of pyramids since 1971, when it was first used at Giza. Using their precise map of the corridor, the researchers identified an opportunity.
“We knew the cavity was there, but of course it's totally different when you see it, “says Procureur. “We felt strange when we saw this." Still, Procureur was glad of one thing. “It's a controversial opinion, but I'm relieved the cavity was empty. I wouldn't have liked to participate in opening a tomb."
4. Why didn't the researchers want to damage the monument to gain access to the corridor?
A. Because it is the world's tallest structure.
B. Because it is the largest pyramid in the world.
C. Because it was built around 2560 AD during the reign of the pharaoh Khufu.
D. Because it is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing.
5. What does the underlined word “certify" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Confirm.
B. Imagine.
C. Approach.
D. Reach.
6. What do you know about the cosmic-ray muon radiography?
A. It was first used at Giza in 1917.
B. It tracks the size of muons passing through the pyramid.
C. It has been used to map the external structures of pyramids.
D. It allows researchers to identify cavities inside the structure.
7. What can you infer from the last paragraph?
A. There was nothing in the cavity.
B. The corridor was the same as previously thought.
C. Procureur was interested in participating in opening a tomb.
D. The cavity used to be the tomb of the pharaoh Khufu.
C
Activities such as art classes could be recommended as an alternative to medication for patients in England as part of a major initiative to reduce the number of people becoming dependent on prescription drugs.
The Times newspaper quotes figures showing that in the past 12 months,8.4 million adults in England were taking antidepressants(抗抑郁药), which is 8 percent higher than 2019,which has resulted in the new advice. Around 23 percent of women are on antidepressants, and 12 percent of men.
“Medicines offer a fantastic range of tools for NHS staff to provide care that can be positively 1ife- changing," said Tony Avery, the national clinical director for prescribing at NHS England. “However, we need to be alert to the risks of some medicines, and the framework we are publishing today empowers local services to work with people to ensure they are being effectively supported when a medicine is no 1onger providing overall benefit."
The NHS report drew particular attention to projects carried out in the county of Gloucester shire. One service, called Art on Prescription, was described as “a form of social prescription and is a non-clinical intervention delivered by art practitioners for therapeutic benefit". Another, a course called Art lift, begins with “a personalized ‘What Matters To You’ conversation prior to the start of the program and (we) agree a personalized support plan and goals with each participant". They all reported improvement in participants' mental well-being.
Actually, as long ago as September 2018, then health secretary Matt Hancock said, “The evidence increasingly shows that activities like social clubs, art, ballroom dancing, and gardening can be more effective than medicines for some people and I want to see an increase in that sort of social prescribing.'
8. Why does activities such as art classes are recommended for patients in England?
A. Because they are more effective than medicines.
B. Because people in England prefer to attend art classes.
C. Because they can replace medication for patients in England.
D. Because they may help reduce the people 's dependence on certain drugs.
9. What can we learn from Tony Avery's words?
A. Medicines can provide life-changing effects all the time.
B. We need to be cautious about the dangers of some medicines.
C. The framework published is greatly supported by the 1ocal people.
D. Local services can work with patients to provide them with overall benefit.
10. What do you know about the projects carried out in the county of Gloucester- shire?
A. The two projects were carried out in the rural areas of Gloucester- shire.
B. Art on Prescription was a clinical intervention delivered by art practitioners.
C. The patients' mental health in the two projects were both reported to be improved.
D. A personalized “What Matters To You" conversation started after the start of the program Art lift.
11. What's the purpose of the passage?
A. To persuade people to stop taking medicine.
B. To introduce a new kind of life changing medicine.
C To appeal to the government to organize more social activities.
D. To recommend a way to reduce patients' dependence on prescribed drugs.
D
While rice and wheat are the two most commonly consumed cereal grains worldwide, a study covering more than 100,000 people in Northwest China has revealed that choosing rice as a main food may result in a lower risk of obesity.
Researchers from Xi' an Jiaotong University collected data from participants aged 35 to 74 who are residents of five northwestern provincial-level regions. They divided the participants into three groups. The first group eats rice as their main food, consuming it either daily or four to six times per week, while consuming wheat less than four to six times per week. The second group's main food is wheat, and the third group consumes both rice and wheat as their main food, with similar frequency.
Then the researchers compared results and found out that rice preference might be associated with a lower risk of certain obesity types in the population of Northwest China. Higher wheat intake was associated with higher risks of excessive body fat and central obesity (stomach fat) in men and central obesity in women, according to the study findings published in the journal Nutrients.
According to the researchers, previous animal studies shows that wheat gluten (谷蛋白) promoted weight gain by reducing heat production and energy consumption, while rice protein shows the potential for anti-obesity and triglyceride- lowering (抗肥胖和降低甘油三酯) effects. Meanwhile, rice-based dietary patterns often have more fresh vegetables, meat and fish servings. People with wheat preference in Northwest China tend to eat large bowls
of noodles with fewer vegetables or 1less meat, and sometimes even with a 1arge amount of oil.
However, researchers noted that given the vast territory and diverse ethnic groups present in Northwest China, further studies might be necessary to fully understand the regional specificity and potential hidden reasons for the observed links.
12. What do you know about the study in Northwest China?
A. People can eat rice to 1ose weight.
B. Eating rice will help you live longer.
C. Rice is the perfect choice for people who are fat.
D. Eating rice may reduce people's risk of being fat.
13. How did the researchers figure out the findings of the study?
A. By offering examples.
B. By referring to some data.
C. By making a comparison.
D. By quoting an expert's opinion.
14. What does the previous animal study show?
A. Wheat gluten reduced weight gain by reducing heat and energy.
B. Rice protein has the potential to fight obesity and lower triglyceride.
C. People often eat noodles with more fresh vegetables, meat and fish servings.
D. People who prefer wheat in Northwest China tend to cat small bowls of noodles.
15. What will the researchers probably do next?
A. They will carry out further studies.
B. They will change their research methods.
C. They will promote rice as the main food.
D. They will figure out the number of ethnic groups in China.

Being without work can be scary and overwhelming, especially when you have a family to support.
Patrick Hoagland is a 30-year-old dad of one who was suddenly laid off from his job at a metal recycling company. He was desperate to find another job-and in this economy, that isn't very easy. However, as a father, he couldn't afford to be without work.
"I definitely had fear," Hoagland admitted. “My wife and I, we don' t make a whole 1ot of money individually. Once I 1ost my job, everything was put on her." So a month after being laid off, he decided to stand on a busy roadside of a Phoenix highway and simply hand out copies of his resume!
Before figuring out his unconventional strategy. Patrick had tried to apply to many jobs, both online and in person. The lack of response eventually led to his idea. “I wasn't getting any responses," he said." I was getting frustrated. It popped into my head, stand on a corner and hold a sign and hand out resumes. At first I laughed about it... but I kept thinking about it. I figured, why not?! There are millions of people in Phoenix driving around; someone might give me a job offer."
For three days, for a few hours each day, Patrick handed his resume out to strangers. He also held a sign which read “Please take a resume. Laid-off Looking for a job."
During one of these sessions, a woman named Melissa DiGianfilippo, owner of Serendipity Consulting, passed by. She was driving down Camel back Rd in Phx near her office and saw this guy on the side of the road with a smile in 110-degree heat, with a sign asking people to take his resume. She was impressed with Patrick because it was 110°C outside and what she saw was really unexpected.

Dear Jack,
You told me about the university you would enter in your last e-mail, so I'm glad to tell
you something about my dream university.
I have been dreaming of studying in Beijing Foreign Studies University, which is the best university to learn foreign languages in Chin. I have fallen in love with English since I began to learn it. Thus, I’d like to study it further in university. At the same time, I want to study other foreign languages 1ike German and French.
However, it's not easy to study there. I work very hard. Reading English and remembering English words are my everyday tasks. I hope my dream will come true one year later.
Yours,

One possible version:
Melissa noticed how much creativity this mote took, so she grabbed a copy of his resume and decided to post it on social media. It worked. People were impressed with this willingness and determination to stand in heat. The job offers began to fly in by hundreds, and Pat-rick eventually found a position at a waste collecting company as an assistant manager. It wasn't just any job, but one he had actually hoped for.
Patrick is thankful to everyone who has helped him get his dream job. "I had a lot of people who sent messages that weren't necessarily job offers but were good wishes saying. 'Good luck in your application. It was nice to see that, "Patrick said. Patrick and Melissa
DiGianfi1ippo have kept in touch ever since. "She didn't need to help me, but she did and it has changed my life. I am so grateful to her, "Patrick added. While as human beings we can-not control what happens to us, we can certainly control how we react to it. And that can make all the difference.
