hikers completes the entire trail.The Sutton family recently finished hiking the entire trail.They are a unique trio（三人组）as their son Harvey tumed five on the trail,which makes him the youngest to complete the Appalachian Trail.Josh and Carrie Sutton said they needed to take breaks from busy work called mini-retirements.41 We set thefamily goal of living a life with extraordinary stories.Doing things like hiking with a child on the Appalachian Trailgives you extraordinary stories,“Josh Sutton said.When Harvey turned three,they took him winter camping,and by the time he was four,the family completed a50-mile hike,camping over six days.Seeing that Harvey developed a passion for hiking,they planned a thru-hike onthe Appalachian Trail.Hiking from end to end is called a thru-hike and generally takes five to seven months tocomplete.They hit the trail in Georgia on January 13,2021.The first weeks were cold.The trail was icy and snow-covered,and the weather was often cloudy and bitter,so they made slow progress.They would wake up early each day,packtheir gear（装备）,and then start walking.As they had many miles to cover each day,they had to be inventive andstarted using imagination and Skittles（彩虹糖）as incentive for little Harvey.The family completed their journey on August 9,2021.Little Harvey learned to count all the way to 2,193,thetotal miles his little feet traveled,and a big number for someone who just started kindergarten.441 will do it againbecause 1 like it so much,“said Harvey.Although the Suttons are now back home,they have incredible memories of

form became one of the most popular and influential media of the 20th centuryand beyond.In early twentieth-century France,a new form of entertainment was becoming a hit motion pictures.People crowded into theatres for short,silent,black-and-white films that showed everyday happenings,such as a trainpulling into a station.These images were dimly projected onto white sheets.Usually,there was no sound.Occasionally,men at pianos played music to match the scenes.Later,with the introduction of colour and sound,the silent film soon disappeared.Colour and sound introduced anew world into the cinema and steadily grew more effective.It can be used to produce a powerful dramatic impression.Moving images at theatres are now no longer novel,but back at the beginning of the art form,surprises lurked（隐藏）around every corner.During the initial showings of basic silent movies,some people in the audience screamed in fear,reacting to what they saw as if it were happening in real life.Moviegoers were known to even leap out of their seatsdue to the trains on the screen.At that time,few people understood what motion pictures were,so audience memberscould easily be fooled.Today,people crowd into theatres for the latest 3D movies.Even older movies,such as the popular Star Warsseries,are being re-released in 3D.Moviemakers are excited about the ability to involve the audience more directly inthe story or film.In addition,theatres invest tens of thousands of dollars on high-quality audio systems so thateverything from the safest whispers to the largest explosions sounds clear and realistic.Sound,dialogue,and musicare used in combination not only with one another but also with the visual image.They can overlap and vary inintensity in a flexible and complex pattern with those high-quality audio systems.What will movies be like 100 years from now?Will audience be able to smell scents in the films,taste the foodthat characters are eating,or even become part of the stories themselves?Only time will tell.53.What can we know about the motion pictures in early 20th century France?A.They were in color.B.They often had background music.C.They greatly appealed to people then.D.They were the main form of entertainment.54.Why did the moviegoers leap out of their seats?A.Because the movies were too scary.B.Because they didnt see trains in real life.C.Because the old theaters were too crowded.D.Because audiences were unfamiliar with the movies.55.Why do theatres spend a lot on high-quality audio systems?A.To make the explosions safe.B.To re-release more old movies.C.To improve movie-goers experience.D.To develop movie-making technologies.56.Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?A.To explain how realistic movies are today.B.To introduce the history of movie technology.C.To tell something about future movie plans.D.To compare movie theatres over the last century.DIs changing answers in your test a good idea?Maybe you can answer a question in seconds.However,do not just trust your first instinct（直觉）in a test.Instincts are not about finding the truth.They are about survival.Your brain doesnt think through most stuff in life.Itjust uses shortcuts（捷径）to fool yourself into thinking you know.Do you remember how it felt to be learning something new?At first it could be complicated.There werehundreds of details that your brain needed to look out for.When youre learning anything new,your brain is workingovertime.Now imagine how you feel doing that new thing you learned before.It gets easier,right?Stuff gets easierbecause the brain starts creating shortcuts for decision making.When youre taking a test,these shortcuts are usually your first instincts.If you see an answer that instantly looksrelated to the question,then your brain is going to start ringing alarm bells（This might be it ）.The logical part ofyour brain hasnt even come into the station and the conductor is screaming,All aboard!”Changing your answer is letting the logical part of your brain take the wheel.You are going to end up right moreoften than you end up wrong.“But my experience says otherwise!Thats because your experience is just another shortcut.When youreexamining your completed test,your brain probably has a shortcut of looking at your wrong answers and skipping theones you got right.The bright red pen
