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.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司“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

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.

D.To present a new breakthrough in the medical field.

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
4
学科网（北京）股份有限公司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.
3 8 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 Seppälä 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. 4 0

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
7
学科网（北京）股份有限公司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,”Robbie thought.He thought of how life-threatening it was for him to
swim."The kid is drowning!"but he thought as he fought his fear.“I must
help.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右：
