Paul O'Sullivan wandered around his Baltimore apartment one evening in
2014,feeling bored.So.like many others,he logged on to Facebook to find out just how
many others on the social network shared his name.Moments later,dozens of name
twins from around the world filled his screen.On a whim(心血来潮),he decided to
send friend requests to them all.
Many of his fellow Paul O'Sullivans
ignored him,but a few felt too curious to
refuse his invitation.As Baltimore Paul
scrolled through the other Paul
O'Sullivans' profiles,he noticed
something four of them had in
common:Theywere all musicians.Like
Baltimore Paul.Rotterdam Paulsang and
played guitar.Another Paul in
Manchester,England,played bass{低 音
(吉他)}.And Paul from Pennsylvania was
a drummer.Baltimore Paul had an idea.Wouldn't it be funny,he asked the other
musical Pauls,if they formed a band called The Paul O'Sullivans?Yes,they all agreed,
Starting a band across different time zones proved to be tricky.Shaky Wi-Fi and
other technical difficulties meant they were often out of sync(同步).And being even
half a second off from one another ruined their sound.To fix this,they created a sort of
musical assembly line.Baltimore Pauland Rotterdam Paul wrote and recorded a basic
track(曲 子 ),then e-mailed it to Manchester Paul.“ I listen to the song over a few
days,” says Manchester Paul,to get a feel for what bass arrangement seems most
appropriate.“ Once he recorded a bass track,he e-mailed it back to Baltimore
Paul,who then built it into the main song.Later,Pennsylvania Paul added the
drumbeat.Round and round the track went,with each member adding on his own layer
until they achieved the sound they want.
The Paul O'Sullivan Band released its first original song,Namesake,in March
2016,which was about long-distance relationships.And when COVID-19 slowly
shutdown the world,the Pauls didn't miss a beat.After all,the band had already got the
hang(窍门)of remote work.They used their time during the pandemic to record their
first EP(专辑)
Titled Internet Famous:A Retrospective,it was released last April.
“ What are the odds,says Baltimore Paul,that a random Facebook request would
lead not only to new music but to lasting friendships as well?Some things are just
mean to be.
24.How can the four Paul O'Sullivans be different?
A.By the musical instruments they play. B.By their e-mail addresses.
C.By the musical styles they like. D.By the place they come from.
25.What doesthisrefer to in paragraph three?
A.The inaccessibility of Wi-Fi. B.The existence of technical barriers.
C.Their being in different time zones. D.Their lack of experience.
26.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph flve?
A.The band had to pause because of the pandemic.
B.They got inspired and composed original songs.
C.The whole world was badly destroyed by COVID-19.
D.The band continued to work in spite of the pandemic.
27.What can be the best title for the article?
A.Banding Together B.A Random Facebook Request
C.Long-distance Friendships D.A Pure Coincidence

Researchers have developed a material made of collagen protein(胶原蛋白)from
pig's skin,which is like the human cornea(眼 角 膜 )and recovered vision to 20
people.The promising result of the trial brings hope to people suffering from corneal
blindness.
An estimated 12.7 million people around the world are blind due to their corneas
being damaged or diseased.Their only way of regaining vision is to receive a
transplanted cornea from a human donor.But just one in 70 patients receives a cornea
transplant.Furthermore,most of them live in low and middle-income countries in
which access to treatments is very limited.
To avoid the above disadvantages of traditional cornea treatment,the researchers
used collagen protein from pig's skin.It is possible to develop a biomaterial that
meets all the criteria(标准)for being used as human implants(移植物),which can be
mass-produced and reach more people with vision problems,said Professor Neil
Lagali.While donated corneas must be used within two weeks,the bioengineered
corneas can be stored for up to two years before use.The pig skin used is a byproduct
of the food industry,making it easy to access.
The researchers have also developed a new surgical method for treating the
disease.No stitches(缝针)are needed with this new method.In a pilot study,14 of the
20 participants were blind before the operation.After two years,all of the patients
regained their sight.Three of the Indian participants who had been blind had perfect
vision after the operation.
The researchers also want to study whether the technology can be used to treat
more eye diseases,and whether the implant can be adapted to the individual for even
greater effectiveness.
28.What is the disadvantage of traditional cornea treatment?
A.Serious side effects. B.Low availability rate.
C.Poor medical equipment. D.Complicated surgical process.
29.What do we know about the biomaterial?
A.It has higher production costs.
B.It can be stored for much longer.
C.It is able to be used for several times.
D.It can help people prevent vision problems.
30.Which of the following best describes the new surgical method?
A.Successful. B.Ineffective. C.Convenient. D.Controversial.
31.What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To spread knowledge about cornea donation.
B.To show the difficulties of treating blindness.
C.To call on people to protect their eyes properly.
D.To present a new breakthrough in the medical field.
D
The possible explanations for the natural roots of envy are easy to imagine.Social
comparison is how we judge our relative place in society,and thus how we know what
to achieve in order to stay competitive for resources.When we see that we fall behind
others,the pain we feel often encourages us to build ourselves up—or to tear others
down.
How people act in the face of this pain has led some scholars to distinguish
between kind envy and harmful envy.The former is miserable,but is met with a desire
for self-improvement and to catch up with the envied person.In contrast,harmful envy
leads to destructive actions,such as aggressive thoughts and behavior intended to harm
the other person.Kind envy occurs when you believe that admiration for the other
person is deserved;harmful envy kicks in when you believe it isn't.
Envy—especially when harmful—is terrible for you.Scientists find that envying
other people stimulates the brain,which is associated with both physical and mental
pain.It can also spoil your future.Ordinarily,people become psychologically healthier
as they age;envy can prevent this trend.Even though other studies have shown that
kind envy might encourage your ambition,this one did not find that envy predicted
later economic success at all.
To feel envy,you need to have exposure to people who appear more fortunate
than you.That is simple enough in ordinary interactions.But the conditions of envy
explode if we expose people to a wide group of strangers presenting their lives to look
as splendid,successful,and happy as possible.Obviously,I am describing social medial
In fact,academics have even used the term Facebook envy to capture the uniquely
fertile(rich)circumstances that social media creates fon this destructive emotion.
If I could snap(捻)my fingers and wipe out envy from my life,I would,and I bet
you would toe.But envy is natural,and getting rid of it would be impossible for all but
perhaps the most enlightened(开 明 的 )people.Lots of research shows that gratitude
destroys envy.So,next time the dog of envy barks inside you,quiet it with thoughts of
the people who love you,the things you enjoy,and the good fortune you have had.
32.How does the author introduce the topic?
A.By making comparisons. B.By giving explanations.
C.By making a judgement. D.By imagining a scene.
33.What has been found by scientists about envy2
A.People of kind envy usually live a miserable life.
B.Harmful envy occurs when people deny their beliefs.
C.Envy may contribute to terrible suffering to people.
D.It proves that kind envy contributes to great success.
34.Why is the term Facebook envy used by academics?
A.To refer to a phenomenon common in social media,
B.To describe how destructive the harmful emotion is.
C.To show how splendid and happy people's lives are.
D.To illustrate the influence of ordinary interactions.
35.What can prevent us from being envious?
A.Finger snaps and dog barks. B.Gratefulness and appreciation.
C.Thoughtfulness and confidence. D.Self-improvement and optimism.

Your neighbors are probably the first line of defense in case of any problematic
situation. 36 It gives you an assurance that you have people close by looking out
for you.Here are easily applicable tips on creating stronger neighbor relationships.
The first step is introducing yourself when you move to a new neighborhood or
when a newcomer moves in.Leave them a note under their door to introduce yourself.
37 It doesn't have to cost you a fortune and opting for a potted plant or baked
biscuits will do.These actions present excellent opportunities to connect with them.
Be respectful of your neighbors.It's in poor taste to have regular insensitive
parties at your place causing disturbances.Before your party,it's good practice to
notify your neighbors.Besides,avoid chatting them up for hoyrs on end,which may be
inconvenient,especially if you don't know their schedules. 38 When you borrow
anything,return it in due time.If you accidentally break their things,replace them
without being asked to.
39 You could offer to babysit your neighbors' kids,help with snow removals
or even keep an eye on their home when they're away.Such acts of reaching out to
your neighbors make for stronger relationships.
As Emma Seppl put it,“social connectedness generates a positive feedback
loop(圈)of social,emotional and physical well-being.It feels so easy to just stay home
without having to engage with your neighbors but connecting with them is worth the
effort. 40
A.Remember every small gesture counts.
B.A crisis is a test of communication skills.
C.It can actually boost your mood in the long run.
D.Slipping it in their mailbox further solidifies friendship.
E.It's essential to ensure you maintain proper relationships with them.
F.Alternatively,you can give them a gift while making yourself known to them.
G.Only by establishing healthy boundaries will you achieve peaceful coexistence.

Robbie loved swimming in the sea.When he was a little boy,he had always
dreamed of becoming a professional swimmer.And he moved well on his career
journey when he grew up.But one day,unfortunately,he got badly injured while he
was training for a swimming competition.
After months of treatment,his condition got better.But the doctor strongly
advised him never to go swimming again,or else his life would be in danger.This
broke his heart.
Despite the fact that he had to give up swimming,his love for swimming never
died.So he rented a beach house,which would allow him the comfort of being close to
the seawater.And to make ends meet,he tried to sell souvenirs(纪念品)to tourists who
visited the beach.
One early summer evening,Robbie was making his way home from the beach
when he heard a cry.It was reported that it might rain that day,so most people had left
the beach early.But Robbie believed he had heard something.The cry came again,and
he had a quick look around.He found the beach was empty.Suddenly,he heard a shout
from the sea.
Help!a frightened and tired kid shouted.He learned later that the kid was 12
years old,called Nicole,and lived in an orphanage(孤儿院).She lost her parents when
she was a baby.Her parents were professional swimmers and she dreamed about
becoming a good swimmer like them.That early summer evening,after dinner,she left
the orphanage alone and went to the beach,hoping to learn to swim on her own.The
girl almost drowned.When she was calling for help that evening,Robbie happened to
hear it.
He immediately called the police.“ But waiting for help might be too late,”

drowning!but he thought as he fought his fear.“I must help.”
