Crazy Stories About RacismWhen I found an advertisement fbr a conference by chance, I couldn't wait to tell my coworkers. It looked like a great day of presentations highly relevant to our research, and I expected they would be eager to attend with me. However, no one was interested.A year earlier, I left India for the United Kingdom to pursue my research career. At work, T shied away from engaging in discussions or putting forward my opinions. I was afraid my coworkers would realize how weak I really felt. Some mornings just stepping out of my room and going into the lab seemed a tough task.Socializing didn't help, as I constantly feared committing social mistakes. I longed fbr new experiences, but my insecurities prevented me. I started to keep more and more to myself. That began to change after a quiet breakdown in the lab prompted （促使）me to contact the university's mental health services. The consultant suggested I attend a nearby concert by a famous singer from my home country. I couldn't miss it. So, there I was in the packed concert hall, surrounded by strangers一all of us clapping and singing the choruses of the familiar songs. It was a beautiful night, and it proved to be a turning point.My growing self-confidence carried over into my work, where I started to speak up and put forward my opinions. I offered to help coworkers design and trouble shoot experiments. I began to ask questions during departmental meetings. I finally felt like an active member of the group. So, when that conference came around, I felt comfortable registering to attend on my own-and I'm so glad I did. Not only did I meet the speakers, but I also introduced myself to other attendees. The encounters inspired me to critically evaluate my own professional interests.4. How did the author probably feel at first about his coworkers9 response?A. Eager.B. Worried.C. Disappointed.D. Uninterested.5. Why did the author contact the mental health services?A. He wanted to solve a conflict.C. He often made big mistakes in socializing.6. What happened during the concert?A. The author got the consultant's help.C. The author met with a previous coworker.7. What did the author do at last?A. He went to the conference alone.C. He took full charge of the lab.B. He struggled to conduct research.D. He lacked confidence in a new environment.B. The author sang along with the strange audience.D. The author connected a song with his research.B. He turned to experts for advice.D. He changed his professional interests.CAccess to green spaces has been found to have many benefits for both physical and mental health and wellbeing. As is reported recently, nearby green areas have been shown to improve children's respiratory （口乎吸 的）health and greatly improve the quality of life in large cities.Researchers from the University of Illinois College conducted a study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology to examine any potential （潜在的）links between greenness and academic achievement for schools with mostly low income students. Therefore, 318 public elementary schools in Chicago were included in the study.“The goal was to see if the greenness-academic achievement relationship holds for poor, urban schools because thafs where it matters J said Ming Kuo, the leader of the research. "That's where educators and policymakers are desperately trying to find ways to help kids reach their potential.High-resolution aerial imagery technology was used to quantify （量化）tree and grass cover for each School. The researchers then compared greenness to the academic performance for the schools using standardized test scores for math and reading.The researchers found that tree cover was a reliable predictor of academic performance, both for reading and math. The more trees there were, the better the standardized test scores were. Other things like the number of students in each classroom, gender ratios （性另U 比）,and the number of bilingual （双语的）students had no influence on test scores or academic performance.The results showed that having trees outside of a school affected academic performance and that schools considered the most disadvantaged had half the number of trees as the least disadvantaged schools. While the study does not prove any cause and effect between tree cover and academic performance, it does suggest that simply planting more trees in schoolyards across disadvantaged districts may improve academic performance.“Early math skills are one of the best predictors of later success, not just in math, but in school,“ said Kuo.“So what we have here is a very exciting clue that maybe simply greening-planting trees in schoolyards-could potentially have a significant effect on math achievement and school success down the line fbr these kids.”8. Why were the schools in Chicago chosen for the study?A. They were mostly located in remote areas.B. Their students had no access to green spaces.C. They had students with physical or mental problems.D. The majority of their students were from poor families.9. What affected the students' reading scores most in the study?A. The area of green spaces.B. Their math skills.C. Their native language.D. The size of the class.10. Which of the following does Ming Kuo agree with?A. It's urgent to reduce the number of students in a class.B. It's unwise to connect greenness with academic success.C. Kids with better math scores enjoy greater success at school.D. Schools in Chicago should increase their green cover by half.11. Whafs the main idea of the text?A. Many factors can affect students9 test scores.B. Trees help improve students' school performance.C. More greenness at school benefits children's health.D It's possible to predict students9 success in later life.DIt was decades ago, but it's still one of the most memorable conversations of my life. On a long, slow train rattling north, with nothing to do but watch the rain, the guy sitting opposite began trying to talk to me. Like most young women who have learned the hard way to be cautious of strangers, I reacted coldly. But curiosity took over when he said that he was just bored, and liked talking.So that's what we did, for hours and hours, since he turned out to be very talkative. When the train eventually pulled in, we didn't swap numbersit was a conversation strictly of its timebut I still think about it occasionally on long, boring journeys, before getting a phone out and scrolling silently like everyone else. Rarely can a person cheerfully break the social taboo （禁忌）about talking to strangers without any trace of ill intention but life would be more interesting if more of us knew how to do itAnd that's why I feel it ridiculous about a campaign launched this week to heal bitter national divides by encouraging Britons to talk to each other. Obviously, it takes more than a small talk over garden fences to unite a divided nation now. More people live alone than they did a generation ago, and we socialise increasingly through screens instead of bothering to call. In reality, social media platforms designed to bring people together have unknowingly fueled the division.It is true that the "tube chat" campaign of a few years back failed in its attempt to make Londoners talk to each other on public transport. But even city residents who would normally die rather than make eye contact with strangers still happily join the large crowds of people by the Thames for the New Year's Eve fireworks. They would get a far better view at home on TVit's not really about the fireworks, but being part of social engagement.There's no guarantee that this latest attempt to reconnect will succeed, but I hope that my temporary train friend then is still talking, wherever he is now.12. What led the author to start the talk with the guy on the train?A. Her growing interest in communication.B. Her typical easygoing personalityC. Her habit of chatting with strangers.D. The intention of the train journey.13. What has made talking to strangers a social taboo among the Britons?A. A lack of basic communicating skills.B. The absence of common topics.C. The concern for personal safety.D. The addiction to social media14. How does technology affect
