18、earning something new together gave us a string of good memories, such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make classic cocktails (鸡尾酒) in a common bar. These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years. We always have such a great time when were tr

19、ying something new together. It seems to have strengthened our relationship, and makes me feel like we have a closer connection. It turns out my theory as such is backed by research. One study shows that learning new things with your spouse (配偶), friends, or partners, can strengthen your connection

20、or friendship. But how exactly does this work? The key is vulnerability(弱点). “Learning new things together strengthens bonds because it is at those moments that we can show our vulnerability to one another,”says Dr. Hisla Bates. “When we are learning a new task, misfortunes and failures are bound to

21、 happen. In those moments when we fail, the other party can be there in favor of us.

CPaints, furniture, printers, cleaning supplies and dry-cleaned clothes can all give off similar gases known as VOCs(挥发性有机化合物). People often cant smell these chemicals in the house. Besides, household products generally slowly giv

27、e off VOCs, and these gases damage to humans is not easy to discover in a short time. So when people clearly feel uncomfortable, VOCs have severely affected their bodies. But certain types of greenery can suck the gases up. In the1980s, scientists with NASA studied houseplants ability to rid the air

28、 of VOCs. All tested plants absorbed at least some VOCs. But in those tests, each plant was exposed only to one type of VOC at a time. In the real world, indoor air contains a mix of them. So scientist Niri wanted to know what would happen if plants were exposed to a mix of VOCs. His team exposed fi

29、ve houseplants to eight common VOCs. Each plant lived for a while with these pollutants in a container. Certain plants were better than others at removing a particular kind of VOC. Meanwhile, they found the spider plant removed VOCs most speedily. But this plant didnt have staying power(持久力). The pl

30、ant called bromeliad absorbed VOCs very slowly, but 12 hours later, the plant removed more VOCs from the air than any other plant.

31、st Webe Kadima, expert in studying various plant components(成份), states, “Plants contain enzymes(酶), which are made by living things to speed up chemical reactions. Once the VOCs enter plants through their stomata(气孔), the plants enzymes break down the VOCs into smaller, harmless chemicals.Of course

32、, a house, or even a bedroom, is bigger than the container Niris team used. But their work suggests people might breathe easier if they can figure out what type and how many plants it takes to clean the air in a room. And if they succeed, families will gladly find some plants can well do air cleanin

33、g machines job, and that these plants can save money and add more indoor beauty.28. What can we learn about VOCs according to Paragraph 1?A. They can be removed in a variety of ways.B. They are mainly given off by decorative materials.C. Their existence in the house is not easy to discover.D. Their

34、exact damage to humans has not been confirmed.29. What might be the weakness of the test of houseplants in the 1980s?A. It only got the support from NASA.B. It only tested their functions in the house.C. It didnt figure out the different types of VOCs.D. It didnt quite truly reflect houseplants perf

35、ormance.30. What did Niris team find from their research?A. There are eight common types of VOCs.B. Bromeliad has strong staying power to remove VOCs.C. Its difficult for families to remove all types of VOCs.D. Houseplants may grow better in the air full of VOCs.31. Webe Kadimas statement is mainly

36、about _.A. the components and functions of plants.B. the VOCs approach to reaching plants inside.C. the theory behind plants ability to clean the air.D. the chemical reactions between plants stomata and VOCs.DFor more and more of todays university students, screen time is competing with seat time. A

37、ccording to the most recent statistics, 33 percent of college students take at least one online class,17.6 percent mix online and in-class coursework, and 15.4 percent just take online classes. Each statistic represents an increase over the previous year, which is a trend that has continued since 20

38、11. However, the increase of screen time in higher education may cause some negative consequences.A Brookings Institution report found that students taking online courses perform worse than students in traditional in-person courses and that experience in these online courses influences performance i

39、n future classes and the likelihood of dropping out of college as well.In a survey from Kent States new study, based on 452 students at public universities in the American Midwest, researchers confirmed many other behaviors in online courses versus(与.相比) face-to-face courses. Students attending onli

40、ne courses reported higher rates of texting, emailing, checking in with online social networks, watching videos, playing video games and listening to music, while none of these activities is related to their online courses. Whats worse, this could cause a drop in IQ comparable to the mental decline(

41、衰退) caused by burning the midnight oil. And this drop may be more than temporary. The studys lead author, Andrew Lepp, mentioned he once witnessed a student taking an online biology class in the school library while streaming a Netflix video. And he added, “Those who always perform various tasks whi

42、ch have nothing to do with the class during online educational activities are more likely to fail the final exams.”At a meeting of the Education Writers Association, Sports Protopsaltis, a professor at George Mason University, told the audience, “The interaction between students and instructors is a

43、n important part of the educational process.” It could be that this important aspect in the educational process is the pressure to put the phone away and pay attention in most face-to-face classrooms. From this aspect, the online revolution might hopefully disrupt (瓦解) itself from within.32. Which o

44、f the following words can replace the underlined word “likelihood” in paragraph 2?A. affectionB. chanceC. factD. phenomenon33. The Brookings Institute report indicates online learning _.A. is less beneficial to students than traditional coursesB. should be responsible for college dropoutsC. will rep

48、 work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight l
