As the morning school bell rings and students rush in，teenagers in one classroom settle onto mats and meditation (冥想)pillows. They fall silent after the teacher taps a “singing bowl”.
These students are in a for-credit，year-long mindfulness class，which is meant to ease youth anxiety and depression and to prevent violence. For 90 minutes, three days a week, they practice a mix of yoga, sitting, and walking meditation, deep breathing, journaling, and
non-judgmental listening.
Yoga and meditation have gained popularity among Americans in recent decades，supported by studies showing benefits to emotional, mental, and physical health. The centuries-old practices have roots in eastern religions, but Western culture has long focused on physical postures (姿势)，breathing, and relaxation techniques.
Some people have greeted the move with less than enthusiasm. Last year, an elementary school in Ohio ended its mindfulness program after parents complained it was too closely linked to religion. But many school districts are reporting success. In Richmond, California, schools have reported drops in school problems among low-income, at-risk youths. The school district in South Burlington, Vermont, introduced a successful mindfulness course as part of a health and wellness program, and now administrators there have advocated mindfulness into K-12 curriculums.
Two years ago, Caverly Morgan developed the after-school mindfulness program teamed up with Allyson Copacino，who teaches yoga. After hundreds of students signed up，Principal Brian Chatard took note. The school was dealing with a student’s suicide (自杀），and few resources were available to address students’ emotional and mental health.
“High school is the hardest period of time for kids,” Mr. Chatard said. “You’ve got emotional changes, physical changes, and all the social pressures. It’s also the onset of mental illness for some kids, depression hits, and there’s the pressure of college and sports. All these things kids do is over-whelming without having a strategy (策略）to deal with it. ” And now schools all over the country are introducing the practices.
25. What do Western people value more about yoga and meditation? A. Non-judgmental listening. B. Religious meaning. C. Physical benefits. D. Journaling. 26. What can we infer about the mindfulness class? A. It is supported by parents. B. It relives pressure of students.
C. It mainly builds students up physically.
D. It improves students’ academic performance. 27. Who started the mindfulness class?
A. Administrators. B. Brian Chatard. C. Caverly Morgan. D. Allyson Copacino. 28. What is Mr. Chatard’s attitude towards the program? A. Supportive. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Reserved.

Bob Dylan, born on May 24，1941，is an American songwriter, singer, artist and writer. He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when his songs showed social unrest. Early songs such as Blowing in the Wind and The Times They Are a-Changing promoted the American civil rights and anti-war movements.
Dylan’s songs include a wide range of political, social and literary influences. They challenged existing pop music conventions and appealed to the growing counterculture. His recording career, spanning more than 50 years，has explored the traditions in American song，from folk，blues，and country to rock and roll, and to English, Scottish, and Irish folk music, even jazz
and the Great American Songbook. He has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been called the Never Ending Tour. His accomplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career, but songwriting is considered his greatest contribution.
As a musician, Dylan has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He has also received numerous awards including eleven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. The Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008 awarded him a special citation (引言）for his influence on popular music and American culture，marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power. In May 2012, Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama. In 2016, Dylan received the Nobel Prize in Literature “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”. 29. Which word best describes Dylan’s music according to Paragraph 2 ? A. Various. B. Talented. C. Personal. D .Popular. 30. What is Dylan better recognized as?
A. A performer. B. A singer. C. An artist. D.A songwriter. 31. What made Dylan get the Nobel Prize? A. His poems about music. B. His American song tradition. C. His language style of the songs. D. His influence on America culture.

Scientists in Britain have managed to teach bumblebees (大黄蜂)to pull strings to get to food and then pass on what they have learned to others in their colony (群体）— showing a high level of intelligence despite their tiny brains.
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London said the experiments，often used to test the intelligence of apes (猿)and birds，showed for the first time that some insects are up to the task，and can also pass skills on through several generations.
The findings add to the evidence suggesting the ability for “culture spread” — the ability to learn and pass on knowledge and skills — may not be exclusive to humans. In the research, published in the journal PLOS Biology on Tuesday, the scientists were able to train 23 out of a group of 40 bees to pull strings with their legs and feet.
The strings were attached to discs — or artificial “flowers” — containing food at their center but placed under a transparent screen. The bees，spotting the food beneath the screen, learned to pull the “flowers” out by pulling the string with their legs and feet to be able to get to it.
From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training, only two of 110 were successful.
Another group of bees was then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings，and 60 percent of them successfully learned the skill. Finally，trained bees were put in colonies, and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a majority of the colony’s worker bees.
Lars Chittka, a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project, said the team is interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees’ learning and teaching skills. 32. What does the underlined word “exclusive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Ordinary. B. Unique. C. Beneficial. D. Widespread. 33. What did the researchers find about bees? A. Bees learn best in insects.
