11、l, sonia Bosom says she has been suffering noise pollution up to now due to the practice sessions of Laia Martin, who lives below her.

17、s especially brutal. It was a difficult time in my own life too. A neck injury had kept me flat in bed for nearly a year. “Just in time for Easter,” my husband, Dick, said. But how could I feel the joy when the snow was four feet deep and I had months of painful physical treatment ahead?I was doing

18、the dishes one day, feeling hopeless when there was a tap against the glass. It was a branch of the troublesome cottonwood (棉白杨). Back in the fall of 1979, it was a new subdivision (细枝)then. The people whod briefly occupied the house before us had placed the pipe from the pump next to it. The earth

19、was so wet that the poor thing had fallen down, most of its bare root system pointing skyward, blowing hopelessly back and forth in the cold wind. Dick decided to pull it out one day, but I protested.“Look at how hard its trying!” I said, pointing to the way it strongly kept hold of the earth. “It d

20、eserves a chance.”Dick borrowed some tools. We packed dry soil around the tree and put up some stakes (桩) into the ground, making it stand upright. That winter was still terrible. Surprisingly, in the spring my “rescue stick” put forth a few leaves, then with lots of branches. By the 1990s that litt

21、le stick was a giant, towering over the house.Now the tapping at the window continued, louder as the wind picked up, almost as though to tell me to look up. At last, I did. I caught my breath. In the window against the icy blue sky, thousands and thousands of fresh red buds were waving in the wind.T

Success is the accumulation of sweat. D. While there is life, there is hope.C Do you ever pull your phone out

25、 of your pocket, thinking it is vibrating (振动), only to find that it isnt? This phenomenon, which scientists call “phantom (幻觉的) phone vibration”, is very common. Around 80% of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when they were actually still. So, what leads to this univers

26、al behavior? According to the BBC, the explanation lies in your brains ability to discover signals from the outside world. When your phone is in your pocket, there are two possible states: it is either vibrating or not. Meanwhile, you also have two possible states of mind: the judgment that the phon

27、e is vibrating, or that it isnt. Ideally, you match the four states correctly. However, sometimes your brain decides that the consequences of missing a call are more serious than a “false alarm”. Therefore, you become more sensitive to vibrations so that you dont miss anything. This is just like the

28、 fire alarm in your homeit can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smoke. But thats a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert you. Now, you might still ask: why cant our brains just make every judgment correctly without be

29、ing too sensitive to false signals? The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day. “You get a large amount of sensory information thats coming from your eyes, ears and skin, and you cant deal with all that information all the time,” Michael Rothberg, a researcher at Baystate Medical C

30、enter in Springfield, US, told Live Science. For example, the rustling (沙沙声) of clothing or the growling (咕咕声) of your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phoneit is like trying to hear your name being called in a noisy room. So, perhaps you should j

31、ust check your phone whenever you think its vibrating. Its not too much trouble to do that, is it?28. According to this passage, phantom phone vibration .A. is common among people with mental problemsB. can measure peoples ability to collect informationC. happens when our brains react sensitively to

32、 false signalsD. helps our brains to make very quick and accurate decisions29. Why is the fire alarm used as an example in this passage?A. To show us the fire alarm is as sensitive as the phone vibration.B. To help us understand the cause of phantom phone vibration better.C. To tell us the phone vib

33、ration usually happens when a fire breaks out.D. To convince us its important to check our phones like checking a fire alarm.30. According to Michael Rothberg, which is mainly responsible for phantom phone vibration?A. A noisy background. B. A lack of much attention.C. A heavy burden every day. D. A

34、n overflow of sensory information.31. What does the author suggest we do about phantom phone vibration?A. We should always fully believe our own sense of listening.B. We should just check our phones whenever we think theyre vibrating.C. We should ignore the vibration bothering when our phones are ac

35、tually still.D. We should think of the vibration carefully before we make correct judgments.D So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to

36、usbelieving this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship. A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadnt spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldnt speak to him again unle

37、ss he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, I cant do that. Hes the one who should apologize. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and off

38、ered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins. Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff (问题)” into really big stuff in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not

39、. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesnt mean that youre wrong. Everything will be fine. Youll experience

40、the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right. Youll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they dont, thats okay too. Youll have the inner

41、satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly youll be more peaceful yourself.32.

44、seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years.

Have you ever gotte

45、n an idea only to lose it later because you didnt write it down? 37 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If Im away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea

46、 to the journal in my computer. It helps you review all the lessons youve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons youve learned and the ideas youve gotten. 38 You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward. 39 After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at
