I was about to read a book when I heard an elderly man speak to a lady. “This library will soon become a cafe

22、. Everyone is reading with electronic devices,” he said. Hearing this, I wanted to shout, “I still read library books!” But my words stuck in my throat and I found teenagers around me were talking to friends or staring at their phones.Reading online feels robotic to me. Its like I stare at a screen

23、and click “next” for the following page to appear until the very end of the e-book, and at the end of all of that, I just think, “Thats it?” But when I read a printed book, its like Im holding on to the characters. I can imagine the plot better, as I can picture the scenes of each moment in my head

24、with more accuracy and imagination.Besides, some online books miss components that are in the printed novels. For instance, the physical copy of a fantasy novel I have read contains a map, but the e-book version does not. That is an injustice to e-book users; after reading and understanding the map,

25、 the story made a lot more sense for me, in terms of the setting and plot.And personally, physically turning to the next page is better than clicking “next”.

30、omfortable silence.Whats the problem? Its possible that along with the rapid development of society, we all focus on our phone and desktop, and therefore it results in our compromised conversational intelligence. However, its more likely that none of us start a conversation because its awkward and c

31、hallenging, or we think its annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say its an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we cant forget that d

32、eep relationships wouldnt even exist if it werent for small conversation. “Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication,” says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins wi

33、th small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interac

34、tion with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “Its not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But

35、 interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “

36、Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.27What does the underlined word “compromised” in paragraph 2 mean?AWeakened.BEnhanced.CSecret.DNatural.28What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?AShowing good manners.BRelating to other people.CFocusing on a topic.DMaking bu

Its hard to resist the idea of having a better memory. In response to this perceived need, the brain training industry has grown rapidly, offerin

39、g a wide range of accessible and affordable mental exercises through smartphone and tablet apps. Many researchers have found evidence suggesting that well-designed exercises can improve mental abilities and lead to better scores on IQ tests. They compare the brain to muscles, suggesting that targete

40、d repetition of memory exercises can strengthen and condition our memory processes, similar to how athletes engage in strength and conditioning by repeatedly exercising specific muscle groups.In contrast to everyday activities like solving a complex puzzle, memory training apps are specifically desi

41、gned to provide a more challenging workout for the brain. These apps typically involve tasks that require tracking a large number of objects while being distracted (使分心) by a secondary task, such as mental calculations or exploring a games landscape. If this brain training proves effective, it could

42、 be beneficial for individuals with brain-related disabilities or those recovering from conditions like cancer.Critics, though, argue that while the concept is appealing, the overall evidence fails to demonstrate significant improvement in core brain processes. Additionally, despite the claims made

43、by many apps and brain training companies, scientists have yet to identify the key factors that make an intervention truly effective or determine the best approaches to address the diverse needs of individuals seeking help.While the question is still open to debate, there is evidence suggesting that

44、 short-term working memory training can benefit high-functioning individuals. However, its important to note that brain training, like diet and exercise, is unlikely to have identical effects on every individual.31In what way is the brain similar to muscles according to many researchers?AIn testing

45、results.BIn work processes.CIn bodily functions.DIn training methods.32What is the main feature of the typical tasks in memory training apps?ASimple.BEffective.CDemanding.DInteresting.33What do critics think memory training apps lack?ALegal claims.BProven effects.CTailored services.DAppealing concep
