Here's our guide to four best theme parks in the UK and the reasons you'll love them.Thorpe Park, SurreyThorpe Park is probably Britain's scariest theme park.

Faded（褪色的）and worm, it was a friendship bracelet（手链）一an important part of my teenage summers. Holding it in my hand made me think about those precious memories of childhood, which my kids will never know firsthand.My handiwork wasn't beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a friend's hand and knowing it would always be with them. The experience was intoxicating; physical and concrete, like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings, it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond. Those bracelets represented how much we meant to each other, at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.I slept with my bracelets and showered with them. I wore them all summer long at camp. And I acquired new bracelets from friends there-friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return, as we said our tearful end-of-summer goodbyes. I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends. But now I see that they were really helping me to leave behind childhood.My kids don't go to summer camp. They certainly don't exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their friends. They hang out on Discord（种聊天软件）in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets, and their gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces. There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.24. Why does the author associate a bracelet with a time capsule?A. It is faded and worn.B. It reminds her of her childhood.C. It is shaped like a capsule.D. It was made by the author herself.25 . What does the underlined word "intoxicating“ mean in Paragraph 2?A. Professional. B. Temporary. C. Exciting.D. Strange.26. Why does the author think her kids' childhood is different from hers?A. They make more friends at summer camp.B , They spend too much time on their cellphones.C. They are unwilling to give bracelets to parents.D. They often send hand-made gifts to their friends.27. What can be inferred about the friendship bracelets?A. They proved the author's kids had much to physically hold onto.B They represented both the author and her kids, unforgettable childhood.C. They gave meaning to the author's childhood in a way her kids will never know.D. They recalled the author's deep sorrow of leaving close friends at summer camp.CSome earlier studies had found no clear color preference among mosquitoes. One study found they prefer blue, another that they prefer yellow-green. What should people make of such conflicting results?The apparent color of an object doesn't just depend on the wavelengths of light it gives off, Claire Rusch explains, who studies mosquitoes for years. It also can be affected by the brightness of that light and its contrast against surrounding colors. Humans see an object's color largely in terms of the wavelengths of light it gives off. But other creatures, eyes may be more sensitive to contrast or brightness. "We needed to control all of those variables to really be sure a mosquito's preferences came from the wavelength of the object,“ Rusch says.To do this, she designed a test chamber （室）that was 450 mosquito-body-lengths long inJ4'her experiment. Lined with cameras, it recorded the insects, flight patterns. Two small colored disks laid on the floor of the chamber.Since the researchers wanted to know if mosquitoes were attracted to certain colors, the disks couldn't be the darkest or brightest objects in the chamber. Otherwise, it would be unclear if the mosquitoes were attracted to the disks' color, contrast or brightness. So, the researchers projected a chessboard pattern onto the floor of the chamber and gray along the walls. That way, if the mosquitoes went to the colored disks, it could only be due to the disks' color.The researchers released about 50 starved mosquitoes into the chamber at a time. Because mosquitoes don't start hunting until they've sensed CO2, so the team sprayed （喷）CO2 inside the chamber. They found before CO2 was sprayed, the mosquitoes ignored all the colored disks. With CO2, mosquitoes ignored any disk that was green, blue or purple. But the insects did fly toward disks that were red, orange or light blue. They seemed to especially like red.To further investigate that, the team placed disks with different skin tones. But the mosquitoes didn't seem to prefer any particular skin colors. All were equally attractive.28. What can be inferred about mosquitoes from the first two paragraphs?A. The wavelengths determine the color of an object.B The background color affects mosquitoes9 eyesight.C. Mosquitoeseyes are not sensitive to color contrast.D. Testing their color preference is not so easy.29. What might affect the result of the experiment?A. The length of the chamber.C. The brightness of the disks.30. Why is CO2 used in the experiment?A. To take clearer photos of mosquitoes.C. To slow down the speed of mosquitoes. 31. What can be Rusch's research finding? A. Cool colors can drive mosquitoes away. B Skin colors are mosquitoes9 favorite.B The number of mosquitoes.D. The pattern of the chessboard.B To stimulate mosquitoes to look for food.D. To raise the temperature in the chamber.C. People in red may attract most mosquitoes.D. All colors are equally attractive to mosquitoes.Samsung Electronics America announced that Galaxy device owners can make their own repairs to the Galaxy S20 and S21 family of products, as well as the Galaxy Tab S7+, startingAugust 2nd.Samsung is cooperating with iFixit, the leading online repair community, to deliver their Self-Repair program.
