Mysteries of the Mind
For more than a century, scientists have investigated the workings of nature’s most complex organ — the brain.
Findings are moving us closer to understanding processes such as how we make decisions. In this e-book, we
examine the latest research on how we can improve mental health.
On-Sale Date: May 3, 2022
Price: $8.99
The Mystery of Sleep
The reason we need sleep has long puzzled scientists, but it’s clear that we do need it. In fact, the more we learn
about what happens while we sleep, the more we discover new benefits for multiple processes including hormone
balance, emotional health, learning and memory. Studies show that even one night of disturbed rest can lead to
measurable harm, and for this mini-collection, we’ve gathered the most recent research on sleep.

The Science Behind the Debates
People say that they trust scientists, yet evidence often takes a back seat to emotions. In fact, for issues that
cause the most public anger — like vaccine safety — there is almost no debate in the scientific community. In this
e-book, we examine the science behind today’s most arguable debates including GMOs (转基因生物) and
evolution, as well as strategies for understanding and coping with denialism (否定主义).

When I was a girl of eight, living in a town, I used to work for Mrs. White, an elderly lady. She paid me very
little for my work, because she didn’t have much money. She did, however, promise to give me a Christmas present.
The girls I played with had baseball gloves, bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these.
On Christmas morning, Mrs. White gave me a little package which could hardly hold anything. I was painfully
disappointed but she told me it was a kind of magic. My disappointment turned into curiosity.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司With great excitement I opened the package, only to find a pile of ten sheets of black paper inside, each labeled
in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. I didn’t know what it was. “Is it magic?” I asked. My Aunt Karen,
who was a school teacher, answered, “It really is!” She took two pieces of white paper and placed between them one
of the black sheets from the box. Then, with a hard pencil, she wrote my name on the upper sheet. Removing it and
the Carbon Paper Regal Premium, she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There
was my name!
I was enthralled. I wrote and wrote, using up whole tablets until the last piece of black paper was used up. It
was a game I didn’t want to end. I was very happy with my special gift. I can honestly say that, in that one moment, I
understood as much about printing, copying words and the mystery of spreading ideas as I have learned in the
remaining half-century of my life.
I hope that this year some boys and girls will receive, from thoughtful adults who really love them, gifts that will
shock them. It is such gifts and such experiences — usually costing little or nothing — that transform a life and
lend it a motivation that may continue for decades.
24. Why did Mrs. White promise to give the girl a Christmas present?
A. She wanted to meet the child’s wish.
B. She rewarded the girl for her good work.
C. She gave gifts to every child in the town.
D. She wanted to make up for the low salary.
25. What do we know about Carbon Paper Regal Premium?
A. It is used in school teaching.
B. It is made by special magicians.
C. It usually consists of colorful paper.
D. It can copy something written on paper.
26. What does the underlined sentence “I was enthralled.” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. I was addicted to Carbon Paper Regal Premium.
B. I was curious about Carbon Paper Regal Premium.
C. I was confused about Carbon Paper Regal Premium.
D. I was shocked there was a name on the second sheet.
27. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Children should work for others to get a gift.
B. A gift with long-term effects is a better choice.
C. Children need to receive a gift that they want.
D. Carbon Paper Regal Premium is a perfect gift.

Night owls may be prone to heart disease and diabetes (糖尿病) than early birds because their bodies are less
able to burn fat for energy, U.S. researchers say. People who rise early rely more on fat as an energy source. They are
often more active in the day than those who stay up later, meaning fat may build up more easily in night owls, the
scientists found.
The findings may help explain why night owls are at greater risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司They may also help doctors to identify patients early on who are more likely to develop the conditions.
The researchers divided 51 fat middle-aged adults into early birds and night owls, depending on their answers to
a questionnaire on sleeping and activity habits. They monitored the volunteers’ activity pattern for a week and tested
their bodies’ fuel preference at rest and while performing moderate or high-intensity exercise on a treadmill.
In Experimental Physiology, the team described how early birds were more sensitive to blood levels of the
hormone insulin (胰岛素) and burned more fat than night owls while at rest and during exercise. The night owls
were less sensitive to insulin and their bodies favored carbohydrates over fat as an energy source.
Prof Steven Malin, a senior author on the study and an expert in metabolism, said it was unclear why differences
in metabolism were seen in night owls and early birds. But one possibility, he believes, is a mismatch between the
time people go to bed and wake the next morning and the circadian rhythms (昼夜节奏) that govern their body
clocks.
The findings could affect discussions around the health risks of night-shift work and even changing the clocks to
suit daylight hours. “If we promote a timing pattern that is out of sync with nature, it could worsen health risks,”
Malin said. “Whether dietary patterns or activity can help reduce these is an area we hope becomes clear in time.”
28. How do night owls differ from early birds according to the research?
A. They are more able to burn fat.
B. They are less active in the night.
C. They are more likely to have some conditions.
D. They are less likely to build up fat in their body.
29. How did the researchers group the volunteers?
A. By enquiring questions about their lives.
B. By recording their exercise levels.
C. By testing their bodies’ fuel preference.
D. By monitoring their activity pattern.
30. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. A brief introduction to the research method.
B. A detailed account of the research findings.
C. Supporting evidence for the research results.
D. Reasonable doubt about the research process.
31. What does the underlined phrase “out of sync” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. Out of order. B. Out of control.
C. Not in agreement. D. Not in connection.

In the summer of 2021, an unseasonal event took place. More than 100 miles of Florida’s coast around Tampa
Bay became an oxygen-depleted (缺氧的) zone containing dead fish along the nearby shoreline.
Much of the conversation around our climate crisis highlights the emission of greenhouse gases and their effect
on warming, sea-level rise and ocean acidification (海洋酸化). We hear little about the effect of climate change on
oxygen levels, particularly in oceans and lakes. But water without adequate oxygen cannot support life. For the three
billion people who depend on coastal fisheries for income, declining ocean oxygen levels are devastating.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司As ocean and atmospheric scientists focus on climate, we believe that oceanic oxygen levels are the next big
victim of global warming. To stop the situation from worsening, we need to expand our attention to include the
dangerous state of oceanic oxygen levels — the life-support system of our planet. We need to accelerate ocean-
based climate solutions that boost oxygen. Examples include nature-based solutions such as those discussed at the
2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) held in Glasgow.
Enhanced monitoring of oxygen and the establishment of an oxygen-accounting system are a must. Putting
oxygen into the climate story motivates us to do the work to understand the deep systemic changes happening in our
complex atmospheric and oceanic systems. We celebrated the return of humpback whales in recent years to an
increasingly clean New York Harbor and Hudson River. However, dead fish blocked the Hudson in the summer as
warmer waters carried less oxygen.
Ecosystem changes connected to physical and chemical system-level data may point the way to new approaches
to climate solutions. It includes an enhanced understanding of the life-support system of our planet. Roughly 40
percent of the world’s people depend on the ocean for their livelihoods. If we do not save marine life from oxygen
starvation, we starve ourselves.
32. What is the result of less ocean oxygen according to the text?
A. A rise in the coastal fisheries.
B. The warming of the atmosphere.
C. The emission of greenhouse gases.
D. An increase in deaths of sea animals.
33. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Attention to oceans is necessary.
B. Global warming effects are serious.
C. Oceanic oxygen levels are dangerous.
D. Ways to boost oceanic oxygen are urgent.
34. Why does the author mention humpback whales in Paragraph 4?
A. To bring in an oxygen-accounting system in climate.
B. To explain the urgency of oxygen levels in atmosphere.
C. To call for more attention to oxygen starvation in waters.
D. To show the achievements in reducing air pollution.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Save Marine Life. B. Make Oceans Safe.
C. Let Oceans Breathe. D. Keep Marine System.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A study reveals it’s beneficial to write about a painful experience or difficult situation in a way that
psychologists refer to as “expressive writing”.
Expressive writing is a specific strategy different from keeping a journal. The idea is to reflect honestly and
thoughtfully on a particular suffering or challenge. Hundreds of studies have found that it can strengthen the immune
system, including for people with illnesses such as depression, cancer, and PTSD. 36 And it may even help
学科网（北京）股份有限公司reduce symptoms of depression and PTSD, and prevent colds and flu.
37 Translating that disturbance into language forces you to organize your thoughts. Additionally,
creating a story offers you a sense of control. Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of
a painful experience.
Talking about an event can lead to reflection, where you are lost in emotions and may become overexcited. But
writing forces you to slow down. Writing can reduce the neural activity in the brain, leading to a positive mood and
an enhanced appreciation for life. 38
What if you think you’re not expert at writing? 39 Do dig deep into your thoughts and feelings. The
goal of writing is to find meaning in an upsetting event. When you acknowledge the pain, you will be able to see the
courage to face fears.
But there are a few warnings. 40 People coping with a severe pain or depression may not find it useful
to do alone without therapy. It shouldn’t be used as a replacement for other treatments. Yet it can be a powerful
coping tool for many, because it helps people fight the fear to face emotions.
A. It can relieve pain and improve mood.
B. Don’t worry about spelling or grammar.
C. Expressive writing isn’t a magical cure for all.
D. Expressive writing is a recording of what happens.
E. Spend just a few minutes taking down your feelings.
F. Realizing what is disturbing you is an important first step.
G. Writing increases one’s acceptance of experiences, and acceptance is calming.

After spending Thanksgiving on Uncle Howard’s farm, he gave us two turkey eggs. My younger brother Chris
was so excited that he nearly dropped his egg on the way home. Dad put the eggs under an old hen in our backyard.
Every day Chris and I would check to see if they’d hatched yet. 26 days later, two little creatures waddled (摇摇摆摆
地走) behind the hen. As they got older, one was dead. We named the other Timothy.
Timothy liked to wander in the woods and find tasty berries and weed seeds. Mom kept telling us not to get too
attached to Timothy, because we were going to have him for Thanksgiving. But we never paid too much attention to
what that really meant. One day, Dad gave Chris and me instructions. “I want you to start giving him corn along with
his regular feed,” he said. “We want a nice fat bird for Thanksgiving.” After Dad walked away, Chris’s face began
to pucker, just as he did before he started to cry.
“Don’t worry, Chris,” I said comfortingly. “We’ll save Timothy, somehow.”
“Why don’t we give him away?” Chris suggested.
“No.” I said. “If we do, he’ll just end up on someone else’s Thanksgiving table.” Suddenly I had an idea. “Hey,
Chris, you know that small cave in the woods?” Chris nodded. “We can take Timothy there. We’ll cover the entrance
with a wire net and hide him till Thanksgiving is over.” “Yeah!” We were so excited that we gave each other high-
fives. We took Timothy out of his cage and left him in the cave with water and plenty of food. We piled branches over
the opening to hide the entrance.
One day Dad sent us out to look for him. Both of us felt guilty, but we wanted to save Timothy’s life, so we kept
quiet. Finally, Dad decided that a fox must have gotten him. That year Uncle Howard provided a turkey for our
Thanksgiving dinner. The next day a big snowstorm hit. It was days before we could get out and see Timothy. When
we got to the cave, we saw something had happened.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
