What if the secret was something you already knew how to do? In fact, you probably do it every day. Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: "It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth." Thomas Jefferson: "Walking is the best possible exercise.Charles Dickens: "If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and die.”Researchers have found quite a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside-compared with on a treadmill（跑步机）-produces the most novel and highest-quality ideas.The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. Our creative thinking is triggered（触 发）by physical movement, which is exactly why walking-with your dog, a friend, or alone - feeds creative thinking.The scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Breaking your routine with a walk can be a catalyst for fresh understanding of problems or projects. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if youwant to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing. Being inside, you're more likely to be lifeless, which means you don't have enough energy to wonder or create.So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking?Involve yourself more closely in your surroundings. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a puddle（小水坑）.3.

What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Exercise in Nature.B. Train Your Brain.D. Walk for Wonder.C. Develop Your Creativity.Every four or five years, vast quantities of warm water build up along the west coast of South America. This phenomenon, El Nino （厄尔尼诺）,creates storms that cause devastating floods. The result is costly. In 2017, for instance, El Nino shut down northern Peru's sugar-cane business.Modern farmers view El Nino stoically （坚忍土也）.They use money saved in good years to rebuild in bad ones. But history suggests it need not be like that. In a paper published recently, Ari Caramanica, an archaeologist at University of the Pacific, in Lima, shows how it used to be done. And the answer seems to be, “better”.Dr Caramanica and her colleagues have been studying the Pampa de Mocan, a coastal desert plain in northern Peru. Pampa de Mocan is not ideal for farming. Its soil contains little organic matter and the annual rainfall in non-Nino years is usually less than two centimetres. Today's farmers therefore depend on canals to carry water from local rivers to their fields.It had been assumed that ancient farmers had a similar arrangement and so they did. But Dr Caramanica also found eight canals that could carry water far beyond the range of modem farms. Since the climate was similar to the present day's when these canals were dug, and the river no higher, she supposed that they were intended to guide the floodwater arriving during Nino years. Around a quarter of the ancient agricultural infrastructure （基石出设施）of this area seems to have been built only for managing Nino-generated floodwater.Evidence reveals that Pampa de Mocan produced lots of crops in some years. Dr Caramanica team also discovered two cisterns （蓄水,也）in the area. These, possibly, were used to store floodwater.These findings suggest that, rather than resisting El Nino, early farmers in Pampa de Mocan were ready to make use of it when it arrived. Precisely how they managed their fields in Nino years remains to be discovered. But modern farmers might do well to learn from them.8. What do we know about El Nino from the text?A.It can be used in farming.B.It is usually caused by floods.C.It has little influence onbusiness.D.It is always resisted as a disaster.9. What made the farms in Pampa de Mocan productive?A.Rich soil.B.Agreeable climate.C.Abundant rainfall.D.Agricultural constructions.10. What's the author's attitude tothe ancient waysof dealing with El Nino ?A.Approving. B. Indifferent.C.Critical.D.Negative.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Surviving El NinoB.Living with El NinoC.Farming in Different TimesD.Learning from HistoryA 293-million-mile journey of the NASA Perseverance rover （探测器）to Mars: ended successfully on February 18, 2021, with a picture-perfect landing inside the Jezero Crater. The car-sized, six-wheeled rover, nicknamed Percy is the US space agency*s biggest and most advanced explorer to date. Its primary mission is to search for signs of ancient microbial （微 生物的）life on Mars.Landing on Mars is extremely tricky. The Red Planets gravitational pull causes approaching spacecraft to go faster to high speeds, while its thin atmosphere-just 1 percent that of Earthi-does little to help slow it down as it approaches the surface.The scientists had to reduce Percy's 12,000 mph speed to a safe landing speed of less than five mph-in just six and a half minutes. The target entry angle also had to be a precise 12 degrees-any steeper, and the spacecraft would burn up; any flatter, and it would get lost in space. It is no wonder that the final approach is often referred to as the "seven minutes of terror.nUpon attaining a manageable speed, Percy briefly flew over the Martian surface to seek out the perfect landing spot. Its complex map-reading system rapidly scanned the area and matched it with maps in its database to find the best location.The NASA scientists will spend the next two months testing Percy's scientific instruments. Once ready, the rover will begin to carry out its mission.Perseverance is the smartest robot ever made, but confirming that microbial life once existed carries an unusually large burden of proof,n said Lori Glaze, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division. "While well learn a lot with the great instruments we have aboard the rover, it may very well require the far more well-equipped laboratories and delicate instruments back here on Earth to tell us whether our samples （样本）carry evidence that Mars once harbored life.',What is the extraordinary challenge for the rover to land on Mars?A. The speed reduction.B. The atmosphere analysis.C. The location search.D. The time management.12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Ways to find the precise entry angle.B. Consequences of wrong entry degree.C. Factors to survive "the seven minutes".D. Reasons for the necessity of speed reducing.13. What does nitn refer to in paragraph 4?A. The spot.B. The area.C. The system. D. The surface.14. . What can be inferred from Lori Glaze's words?A. Instruments aboard the rover are not quite reliable.B. Perseverance is able to collect enough evidence needed.C. Man still has long way to go to prove life was on Mars.D. Samples of Mars will be returned soon to our labs on the earth.二、七选五A dog snoring away the afternoon on the living room floor. Walruses snoozing on a beach. Lions sprawled out on the Serengeti. A hippo dozing on a mudbank. 16 Why do these mammals seem to be getting so much more sleep than humans? Do they actually need more sleep? Are they just sleeping because they can? Should humans be sleeping more, too? Be prepared for a surprising and fascinating answer to these questions：17Though constantly studied, sleep is one of the great mysteries modern science hasn't completely cracked. We really don't know what sleep is for." Dr. David Raizen, an associate professor of neurology said.One idea is that steep in mammals has to do with body size and diet, according to a 2005 study in the journal Nature.18 A reason for this may be that the larger an animal is, the more calories it needs, and the more time it needs to spend eating. 19 Sleep is complex, hard to measure in wild animals and even harder to interpret. It*s important to remember that some differences in observed sleep might not be what they seem. Just because a house cat sleeps for 18 hours a day doesnft mean it needs all that sleep to function, Raizen said.20 Raizen said the most important thing is for people to listen to their bodies and get as much sleep as they feel they need-which is about eight hours for most folks but might be as few as five and as many as eleven.A. Nobody knows.B. As for human sleep?C. Dr. David will tell the truth.D. However, the matter is far from settled.E. These sleepy scenes may make people puzzled.F. Many studies of mammalian sleep have been carried out so far.G. Scientists have observed less sleep is related to a larger body.三、完形填空I was ready for bed. My eyes fell on the musical 21 on my bedside table. In it was a photo of Dad smiling, and once opened, it would play his 22 song recorded before his death. It was propped（支, 撑）open just enough so the recording wouldn't play.Dad was a 23 man.
