But one thing I try to do every day is lake a ten-minute walk around midday.Walking at lunchtime is a smart thing to do, a new study finds. This doesn't seem like news. After all, we've known forever that doing exercise is good fbr us. But as The New York Times points out, those fitness studies typically looked at the effects of exercise plans in the long run. This new study looks at changes that happen more quickly, from one day to the next or even from this hour to the next hour.For the study, researchers gathered a group of mostly sedentary(久坐的)office workc rs in (he UK. All were out of shape, but otherwise emotionally and physically healthy. R esearchers asked (hem to take 30-niinute lunchtime walks, three days a week fbr 10 week s. The volunteers were also asked to install apps on their phones, so that the researchers could send the volunteers questions after ihey walked. Then (he researchers used those ans wers to judge how the volunteers were feeling about life and work, and to measure their feelings about everything from stress and tension to motivation.When the researchers compared the volunteers' answers on the afternoons when they walked to those on the afternoons they didn't walk, there was quite a difference. On the days when they had a lunchtime walk, the volunteers said they felt less stressed, more energetic and more relaxed compared with the days when they didn,t walk.Unfortunately, the researchers said many of the volunteers didn't believe they'd be able to continue walking once the study ended, mainly because they were expected to work through their lunch breaks. If s an understandable response, but a sad one.24. How does (he new study differ from other fitness studies?A. It calls on people to have a walk after lunch.B. Il focuses on (he short-term effects of walking.C. Il mainly pays attention to sedentary office workers.D. Il aims at studying (he relationship between exercise and health.25. Why were the volunteers required to install apps on their phones?A. To record their time spent online.B. To know how long they walked.C. To prevent them from getting lost.D. To respond to the researchers' questions.26. What is the finding of the new study?A. Lunchtime walks can soon improve people's mood.B. Office workers usually have little time to go for a walk.C. A scdcntaiy lifestyle is linked to an increased risk of disease.D. Walking brings more advantages to people than other exercise.27. What can wc infer about the volunteers from the last paragraph?A. They will spend more time walking.B. Some of them tend to be more outgoing.C. Most of them will perform better at work.D. They may stop lunchtime walks due (o work pressure.cA ship has used autonomous (自主的)sailing technology to complete a trip across world oceans for (he first time. The Mayflower Autonomous Ship is a completely autonomous ocean research ship powered by artificial intelligence (AI) technology.The Mayllower recently completed a five-week trip across (he Atlantic Ocean without any humans on board. It set off from the British port of Plymouth on April 27 and arrived in the eastern Canadian city of Halifax on June 5. The 15-meter Mayflower is named after a ship that carried a group of European settlers from Plymouth to No.Orth America more than 400 years ago. That famous trip, in 1620, prepared the way fbr Britain's colonization (殖民)of what Europeans called the New World.The Mayflower experienced breakdowns on its latest trip, as well as an earlier attempt to cross the Atlantic. The first attempt, in June 2021, was called off after a breakdown forced the ship to return to Plymouth. Later ,during the latest trip, a problem with the ship's power system led project organizers to send the ship to Portugal's Azores in the mid-Atlantic. A team member was flown (o (he area to perform repairs.More troubles came in late May when the Mayflower developed another power issue. That trouble was also repaired. Bui the team decided to send the ship on a new path to Halifax. Experts say AI is getting much better at helping self- sailing ships understand their surroundings and pilot themselves. But most autonomous systems cannot repair themselves when the engine fails. The Mayflower is equipped with instruments designed to measure the health of ocean water. Such ships could be used to probe into parts of oceans that arc too difficult fbr people to reach.28. What can we learn about the Mayflower Autonomous Ship?A. It sailed by itself.B. It is over 400 years old.C. It is named after the latest ship. D. It carried Europeans in the 16lh century.29. What happened (o the Mayflower Autonomous Ship on its first Atlantic Ocean voyage?A. It set off from America.B. It turned back halfway.C. Il received repairs on the scene. D. Il reached its destination smoothly.30. What made the Mayflower fail to complete its sailing several times?A. The misuse of AI.B. Some machine failures.C. Some experts, suggestions. D. The wrong choice of sailing course.31. What does the underlined phrase “probe into in the last paragraph mean?A. Move. B. Drag. C. Improve. D. Explore.DKindness is seen as a true strength, and the success of civilizations relies on kindness. As parents and teachers, we also leach children from a young age (o "be k
