Takanori Kobayashi, a 23-year-old from Japan, has had a strong connection with Peking Opera since his childhood. His fascination with Chinese history began in his early childhood, influenced by Japanese manga (漫畫), especially works like Romance of the Three Kingdoms. These stories made him curious about Chinese culture and led him to search for related videos online.
At 14, Kobayashi came across a video of a historical Peking Opera, The Battle of Red Cliffs. Although he didn’t understand the language, he was captivated by the costumes, makeup, and music. At 17, he found a website for the Shincyo Theater, a Peking Opera troupe (巡演) in Tokyo founded by Zhang Chunxiang, a Beijing-born artist, who had moved to Japan in the 1980s and founded the Shincyo Theater to promote Peking Opera in Japan.
Kobayashi emailed the theater, sharing with Zhang his passion for Peking Opera, and his desire to join the troupe. Zhang was impressed by his passion. At 18, Kobayashi moved to Tokyo to attend Chuo University, majoring in Chinese language and culture, while attending Zhang’ s Peking Opera classes every Saturday.
Zhang teaches his students by explaining the movements of Peking Opera in simple Japanese. Kobayashi, who enjoys playing civil roles, listens to famous performances to learn the music and get a sense of the roles. He works with Zhang to improve his performance. Years of hard work paid off. In 2020, Kobayashi finally got the chance and debuted in a small painted-face role in Wild Boar Forest, one of Shincyo Theater’s productions, which got well-received.
After graduation, Kobayashi worked for a company in cosmetics, but he still studies Peking Opera in his free time and occasionally performs with Shincyo Theater. “Becoming a professional Peking Opera performer in Japan is difficult and might not be practical as a long-term career. In China, performers usually start training at four or five, whereas I began close to 20. Even so, I’d still like to pursue it professionally and give it my best shot,” said Kobayashi.
24. What sparked Kobayashi’s initial interest in Chinese history and culture
A. School lessons related to China. B. A visit to the Shincyo Theater.
C. Chinese tales told in Japanese comic. D. A video of a historical Peking Opera.
25. Which of the following words can best describe Kobayashi
A. Optimistic and considerate. B. Persistent and diligent.
C. Energetic and determined. D. Creative and passionate.
26. What does the underlined word “debuted” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Played a leading role. B. Painted a facial makeup.
C. Performed for the first time. D. Conquered the stage fright.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. He has to quit owing to starting late.
B. He will keep informed and practise occasionally.
C. He is willing to give it a shot despite the difficulties.
D. He tries to be a professional Peking Opera performer.

The human brain is sensitive to shortage. The sense of not having enough of what we need makes it harder for us to focus and plan. In recent work, however, we found that people react to water shortage very differently than they do to other shortages.
As a species that is heavily dependent on water, we seem to be wired to plan for it. The loss of water prompts a general mindset of thrift and long-term thinking. This discovery could have important implications for humankind's response to climate change.
We explored people’s thinking about water in several ways. In one experiment, we brought 2k1 college students to the lab and asked some of them to read an article we provided. Some received an article that was desperate in tone. It detailed predictions of the worst “water shortage in 1, 200 years. ” Others read a more positive article that described how climate change means more rain and therefore enough water. The rest of the students completed the study without reading an article.
We then asked the students how important it was to save resources and think about the long terra. In a survey, participants who read about a serious shortage agreed more with statements such as “People should live for the future. ” In contrast, people who read about a future water surplus were pushed in the opposite direction. Compared with those who had answered the questions without reading about climate change at all, they were more likely to support living for the present and careless about saving money and other resources.
In the follow-up study, we looked for places where communities have experienced real water shortage for generations. We found two geographically close cities in Iran -Shiraz and Yazd — that have similar economies and the same majority religion, and language but sharply different amounts of water. Shiraz receives enough rainfall to support vineyards that produce its world-famous wine. Nearby Yazd is bone-dry. We gave psychological tests to 331 people in Shiraz and Yazd to measure how much individuals prioritize the future. Sure enough, people in Yazd thought that planning for the future was more important than these in Shiraz did.
Across studies, our findings suggest that water has a meaningful place in our thinking — one that is distinct from other important resources, including wealth. There is evidence of evolutionary wiring for water in our sense of smell. Humans are better at detecting the scent of fresh rainfall than sharks are at detecting blood.
That sensitivity might be crucial going forward. Climate change is making droughts more common. Our work suggests that as many places dry up, global warming could reshape how people think pushing entire communities toward more cautious future-oriented behavior. That may offer a sliver of hope in the middle of the threat of climate change.
28. What was the purpose of the experiment conducted with college students in the lab
A. To analyze their reaction to climate change predictions.
B. To measure their current levels of resource conservation.
C. To observe their psychological response to water scarcity articles.
D. To compare their views on long-term planning with those who didn’t read about climate change.
29. What’s the possible reason that the researchers chose Shiraz and Yazd as the subjects of their study
A. They are neighboring cities with similar demographics but contrasting water availability.
B. They have been historically significant in water management practices.
C. They are famous for their cultural significance in relation to water conservation.
D. They have different climates, making them ideal for studying environmental adaptation.
30. Why does the author compare humans with sharks in paragraph 6
A. To highlight the similarities between human and shark behavior in response to resource scarcity.
B. To support the argument that humans’ sensitivity to water scarcity is rooted in evolutionary factors.
C. To emphasize humans’ superior ability to detect water-related signals compared to other species.
D. To illustrate the evolutionary differences in sensitivity to environmental cues between humans and sharks.
31. According to the article, what’s the significance of the study
A. It shows that people’s awareness of climate change can be prompted.
B. It suggests that water shortage may urge humans to live in the moment.
C. It confirms that people react similarly to all types of resource shortages.
D. It highlights the importance of immediate actions to address water shortage.

Franz Boas’s description of Inuit (因紐特人) life in the 19th century illustrates the probable moral code of early humans. Here norms (規(guī)范) were unwritten and rarely expressed clearly, but were well understood and taken to heart. Dishonest and violent behaviours were disapproved of; leadership, marriage and interactions with other groups were loosely governed by traditions. Conflict was often resolved in musical battles. Because arguing angrily leads to chaos, it was strongly discouraged. With life in the unforgiving Northern Canada being so demanding, the Inuit’s practical approach to morality made good sense.
The similarity of moral virtues across cultures is striking, even though the relative ranking of the virtues may vary with a social group’s history and environment. Typically, cruelty and cheating are discouraged, while cooperation, humbleness and courage are praised. These universal norms far pre-date the concept of any moralising religion or written law. Instead, they are rooted in the similarity of basic human needs and our shared mechanisms for learning and problem solving. Our social instincts (本能) include the intense desire to belong. The approval of others is rewarding, while their disapproval is strongly disliked. These social emotions prepare our brains to shape our behaviour according to the norms and values of our family and our community. More generally, social instincts motivate us to learn how to behave in a socially complex world.
The mechanism involves a repurposed reward system originally used to develop habits important for self-care. Our brains use the system to acquire behavioural patterns regarding safe routes home efficient food gathering and dangers to avoid. Good habits save time, energy and sometimes your life. Good social habits do something similar in a social context. We learn to tell the truth, even when lying is self-serving; we help a grandparent even when it is inconvenient. We acquire what we call a sense of right and wrong.
Social benefits are accompanied by social demands: we must get along, but not put up with too much. Hence self-discipline is advantageous. In humans, a greatly enlarged brain boosts self-control, just as it boosts problem-solving skills in the social as well as the physical world. These abilities are strengthened by our capacity for language, which allows social practices to develop in extremely unobvious ways.
32. What can be inferred about the forming of the Inuit’s moral code
A. Living conditions were the drive. B. Unwritten rules were the target.
C. Social tradition was the basis. D. Honesty was the key.
33. What can we learn from this passage
A. Inconveniences are the cause of telling lies. B. Basic human needs lead to universal norms.
C. Language capacity is limited by self-control. D. Written laws have great influence on virtues.
34. Which would be the best title for this passage
A. Virtues: Bridges Across Cultures B. The Values of Self-discipline
C. Brains: Walls Against Chaos D. The Roots of Morality

Sometimes in our life we face this problem: loved ones as well as strangers annoying us. At home, we’ve had to put up with children screaming during online meetings, and family members on the computer all the time. ___35___
Kindness seems like a distant memory. The ability to live peacefully with annoying housemates or neighbors seems more difficult than ever. ___36___ If we take kindness as a skill, making it a daily practice, it will come easier over time.
___37___ Loving Kindness Meditation (默想) (LKM), which dates back to the time of its roots to early Buddhism, helps us find sympathy for one another even during trying times. The meditation asks us to send thoughts of loving kindness to loved ones, then to acquaintances (people you don’t know very well) and finally to challenging people. Over time, our unkind thoughts are replaced with more open, accepting ones. Anger is replaced by love, or at least kindness.
Donald Altman, a psychotherapist from Portland, Oregon, says LKM helps us recognize we are all weak and have been hurt. ___38___
So how To begin with, Altman suggests finding a quiet place to sit. He says to then imagine a favorite family member or friend sending you the words, “May you be well, happy and at peace.” After a few minutes, direct the words at yourself, “May I be well, happy and at peace.” ___39___ Replace the “I” with the name of a teacher or coach, then a family member or friend, then an acquaintance, and finally an unfriendly person in your life. End the meditation by spreading the blessing to all living beings.
Indeed, we should find our own way toward LKM — but only if we are prepared to access its benefits and extend them to anyone who may need them.
A. The good news is that it isn’t lost.
B. Luckily we can look to ancient disciplines for guidance.
C. At work, we’ve had to face the added pressure these demanding jobs create.
D. Then, extend the blessing to other people, in order of decreasing fondness.
E. For that reason, we could all benefit from love’s warm and comforting blessing.
F. You can combine the words with breathing, repeating a phrase of love for yourself.
G. Outside, we’ve encountered drivers speeding on busy roads and passengers talking loudly on the subway.

Over the years I have been fascinated to read about studies into the power of touch.
One famous study examined videos of how people responded to those near them who had been the victim of a bad fortune. Researchers looked at their interaction with the victim, and compared this with behaviour in non-human primates (靈長類動物). It found that humans and primates comfort one another and demonstrate care in a similar way. It makes sense for me that offering hugs to calm victims may be an instinct that we got from primate ancestors.
Another study found that when the husband or wife of a patient in sorrow or discomfort reaches out and holds their hand and, as if by magic, they become settled and less sorrowful. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, as we have known for many years about the importance of touch. It symbolizes safety and love, and this is actually one of the most important aspects for development as a child. Is it any wonder that, when we are upset and distressed as adults, we seek out the same things Whether young or old, humans are wired to be touched.
Nevertheless many people today suffer from “touch hunger”, which typically occurs when a person experiences little touch or contact for a long time. It serves as a warning that the sense of security and care that comes with the contact of touch is missing. Thus, their well-being can suffer. It is associated with greater stress, anxiety and loneliness, and lower-quality sleep.
Actually, even the briefest touch from us can bring strong emotional experiences to the receivers who suffer from “touch hunger”. A warm handshake, a gentle pat on the shoulder, or a high-five is often enough to convey love and care.
Be a giver!
50. What did the first study find about touch
____________________________________________________________
51. Why is touch important
____________________________________________________________
52. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Touch has the great power to give people who suffer from “touch hunger“ strong emotional experiences, but a brief touch like a handshake is too light to convey love and care.
____________________________________________________________
53. Apart from touch, what other way(s) do you often use to express your love and care in your life (In about 40 words)
