them?”
“You will see, ” our father said.
Our father works as a volunteer at Ray. The children there have problems with their hands, speech, walking or

Do Encyclopedias Know Everything?
Long before Wikipedia (维基百科) or Encyclopedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), there was Pliny the
Elder. He was a first-century Roman researcher. His assistants read to him while he ate dinner and while he bathed.
Pliny took notes. He even thought walking is a waste of time. His assistants carried him around Rome in a chair
while he read.
All of this was done in preparation for his Historia Naturalis (《博物志》). The book came out in A. D. 77.
It is the oldest surviving (现存的) encyclopedia on Earth. There are 2,500 chapters. They cover everything from
mice to Mars.
“No Roman writer has completed such a project,” Pliny proudly declared. Unluckily, two years after having
published (出版) the encyclopedia, he died in a natural disaster.
Accidents can hardly be avoided. However, they can be recorded (记录). Editors (编辑), like Pliny, organize
the knowledge of our world. Like a valuable gift, the books are passed down through the ages. They begin their
lives as a tool and end them as a historical record.
,
Therefore in my opinion, an encyclopedia is not just a record of what its editors know, it’s also a record of
what they don’t know.
Pliny was wrong when he said there were seven planets, including the Sun and the Moon. He was wrong, too,
when he said Africans were black from being burnt by the sun. After all, Historia Naturalis is a book edited by a
Roman thousands of years ago. It recorded all of the things he truly knew at the time.
Similarly, I believe both Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica have some inaccurate (不准确的)
information. Even the biggest encyclopedias only show what their editors know.
“The task of editing an encyclopedia can never be completed,” said Roger Lewinter, an American researcher.
Encyclopedias can’t record all of human knowledge but just some of it. They are always waiting for someone—
you, perhaps—to improve them.
27. Before Pliny completed Historia Naturalis, ________ according to the passage.
A. nobody knew what Mars was B. there was no encyclopedia on Earth
C. nobody had considered walking a waste of time D. no Roman writer had completed an encyclopedia
28. The underlined word “declared” (in Paragraph 3) means “________”.
A. made B. said C. created D. laughed

29. The writer expects his readers to ________.
A. improve an encyclopedia
B. find all the mistakes in Historia Naturalis
C. complete the task of editing an encyclopedia
D. take a look at the world’s biggest encyclopedia

David Strayer never texts or talks on a phone when he is driving. Strayer is a famous psychologist at the
University of Utah. His research (研究) shows that, when driving using a phone can be as dangerous as drinking
alcohol.
Strayer and other scientists warn against multitasking (多任务处理). When we do many things at the same
time, Strayer says our brain becomes tired easily. So we may make mistakes and lose focus (专注). Dr. Gloria
Mark, a digital media researcher, a teenager spends between 7 and 11 hours a day in front of a screen—doing
homework, texting, watching videos—often all at the same time. However, when we spend hours on digital
devices, our overall productivity decreases (下降).
Many digital activities require high levels of concentration (专注力). When we text or email someone, for
example, we need to use even more energy. Too much multitasking reduces our ability to think clearly and
creatively. This can result in stress.
What is the best way to help us lower too much stress? David Strayer says the answer is simple: Spend some
time in nature.
Strayer and other scientists are studying nature’s effect (影响) on our brains and bodies. When we are in
natural environment, the brain’s control center relaxes. Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they
do better on different tasks.
Other psychologists are also studying “nature therapy (疗法)”. In a study at Chiba University in Japan, a
researcher named Yoshifumi Miyazaki found that forests walkers did better than the city walkers. He has an
explanation for these results. “Our bodies relax in the natural environment,” he says, “Humans evolved (进化) in
that environment, not in places with tall buildings and lots of traffic. This allows our brains to rest and recover from
the stresses of city life. Imagine a therapy that could improve your cognitive ability at zero cost. Why not try it at
once?”

A Teenager with Autism Swims toward Victory
Chen Xingrong won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities

Born in Hainan Province, Chen Xingrong could not say a word until he was 2 years old. When Chen Xingrong
was found autistic (自闭的), his parents were worried. In 2012, his father learned that swimming could help people

autism.
Thanks to his father’s endless efforts, Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food in the market in their
neighborhood. He also does voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast-food restaurants, such as arranging shelves and
