With midterms and finals nearing, finding time to work out between all the studying and classes can be a
challenge. But who says you must choose between studying and working out? This study break exercise routine is
all you need to stay on track for your fitness goals. Better yet, it’s just 5 minutes long.
How It Works
For every hour of studying, take a 5-minute break to get up and move your body. This routine is filled with
light cardio, bodyweight exercises, and dynamic stretches to wake your body up and prepare it for your next period
of studying. This routine may be short but do it enough times throughout the day and the calories will add up!

Although you will benefit regardless of how well you perform the exercises, adding mindfulness can make it
even more effective:
Pay Attention: Notice the sensations in your body as you move and stretch.
Breathe: Match movements to your breath — breathe in as you prepare, breathe out as you stretch or apply
force.
Be Gentle: Don't force stretches. Move within a comfortable range.
Focusing on your body for these few minutes helps calm the mind.

After ten years in London, I recently relocated to Berlin, and as is customary when making new friends, the
question “Where are you from?” tends to come up. My honest answer would be, “I don’t really know.”
The truth is, most of us TCKs (Third Culture Kids) — a term coined to describe “children who move between
cultures before they have had the opportunity to fully develop their personal and cultural identity” — had no
choice growing up but to follow our parents around the world. We’d often be told, “Pack your bags, kids. We’re
moving!” and in the blink of an eye, everything would change.
By the time I was 18, I had changed schools 10 times, moved countries at least 6 times, acquired a confusing
accent, and developed both a love of travel and a desire for stability. Being an Indonesian-Italian, I often felt an
identity crisis weighing on me in my teens.
Moving to a new country after spending ten years in the UK — the longest I have lived anywhere — has
brought back feelings of this cultural confusion. Growing up as a TCK isn’t as charming as many people would
expect. It is both a blessing and a curse (诅咒), beautiful but unpredictable, and full of adventures. This lack of
roots and stability will likely cause issues later in life.
Ye t kids are adaptable. After overcoming culture shock, you start to adjust and see the bigger picture. You learn
that the world is much bigger than you, and that your problems are small. You also learn responsibility, respect
different beliefs, and form your own opinions. Making friends and then losing touch teaches you that everything is
temporary.
Growing up as a TCK, you rarely realize how adaptable you are, until your older friends often comment on
how “wise and mature” you are for your age. Travelling from a young age opens your eyes beyond
“Hypernormalization”. It teaches that diversity is nothing to be afraid of. Growing up as a TCK was tough, but I
wouldn’t trade it for anything. It has shaped me to be the person that I am today — an actual “citizen of the
world”.
4. How does the author usually respond to “Where are you from”?
A. By stating her nationality directly. B. By admitting her uncertainty honestly.
C. By explaining the TCK concept briefly. D. By describing her experiences in detail.5. What does the author say about TCKs’ childhood?
A. They enjoyed planning their moves.
B. They resisted their parents’ decisions.
C. They maintained their personal lifestyle.
D. They were forced to adapt to sudden changes.
6. Which of the following can best describe TCKs’ experiences?
A. Tough and confusing. B. Peaceful and predictable.
C. Routine but eye-opening. D. Adventurous but beneficial.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Growing up as a TCK B. Challenges for Migration
C. How to Become a Global Citizen D. How to Adapt to Diverse Cultures

On a summer afternoon, the surface of a black asphalt (沥青) roof can reach 85°C — hot enough to fry an
egg. These dark surfaces absorb most of the sunlight that hits them, turning cities into dangerous “heat islands.”
During a severe heatwave, this extra warmth pushes already high temperatures several degrees higher, leading to
hundreds of avoidable deaths each year. The solution, some urban planners argue, lies on top of our buildings.
Reflective roofs, also called “cool roofs,” are painted white or coated with special materials that bounce back
up to 85% of incoming sunlight. By contrast, a standard dark roof reflects only about 20%. Buildings with cool
roofs stay cooler inside, reducing air conditioning use by 15‒30%. On a citywide scale, this means lower electricity
bills, fewer power plant emissions, and most importantly, safer streets during extreme heat events.
Los Angeles became an early adopter. In 2013, the city required all new flat roofs to be cool roofs and started
coating existing rooftops with a white, reflective sealant. Satellite images taken five years later showed that surface
temperatures in coated areas dropped by an average of 2.5℃. The city also noticed something unexpected:
residents living near cool roofs reported improved sleep quality, as the reflective coating reduced nighttime heat
release from buildings.
Despite clear benefits, cool roofs face barriers in the city. Older buildings with tar and gravel roofs are
expensive to retrofit. Some homeowners complain that white roofs show dirt easily, reducing reflectivity over time.
Meanwhile, winter cooling could increase heating costs. Researchers are developing adaptive coatings that change
color with temperature — dark in winter to capture heat, white in summer to reflect it.As one climate resilience expert puts it, “We cannot wait decades to redesign entire cities. Cool roofs are
something we can install next month, on the building where you live or work. That is why they are one of our most
powerful immediate tools.”
8. How do dark roofs affect cities during heatwaves?
A. They put more residents at risk of death.
B. They keep buildings cooler during heatwaves.
C. They weaken the structure of buildings over time.
D. They increase the cost of coating existing rooftops.
9. The word “bounce” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. absorb B. return C. reflect D. send
10. What can be inferred about the reflective sealant used in Los Angeles?
A. It produced a positive effect on people’s rest.
B. It worked better on new buildings than on old ones.
C. It mainly benefited homeowners with new buildings.
D. It reduced the need for air conditioning in all coated buildings.
11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Waiting decades to redesign cities is fine.
B. Redesigning cities should be our top priority.
C. Cool roofs are the best solution for every city.
D. Cool roofs are a quick and workable fix.

For generations, parents and teachers have warned children against daydreaming, calling it a waste of time.
However, recent cognitive neuroscience research suggests otherwise. Rather than being a sign of distraction,
daydreaming may represent a unique mental state where creativity and future planning flourish.
The key lies in the brain’s default mode network (DMN), a set of regions that becomes active when people
are not focused on external tasks. Far from being idle, the DMN allows the brain to make remote associations
between seemingly unrelated ideas. In a 2021 study, participants who completed a tedious button-pressing task
followed by a rest period showed 40% more creative solutions on subsequent problems than those who moved
directly to a second demanding task. The rest period, during which minds naturally wandered, allowed the DMN to
secure memories and generate novel connections.Critics of deliberate mind-wandering point to its obvious risks. Students who daydream during lectures miss
critical information. Drivers whose attention drifts pose safety dangers. Yet researchers distinguish between two
types: unintentional mind-wandering, often triggered by boredom or tiredness, and intentional mind-wandering,
where individuals consciously allow their thoughts to flow while remaining able to return to the task when needed.
The latter, when practiced under appropriate conditions, carries creative benefits without significant costs.
Workplace studies support this distinction. Employees given regular short breaks for “structured daydreaming”
— reflecting on personal goals or imagining future scenarios — reported higher job satisfaction and produced
more innovative ideas than those following continuous work schedules. Interestingly, the most creative workers
surveyed exhibited not fewer but more frequent episodes of intentional mind-wandering during low-stakes tasks
such as data entry or routine emails.
The implication is not that students should abandon focus during exams or drivers should lose attention on
highways. Rather, the research suggests rethinking the cultural bias against daydreaming. Periods of mental
wandering, when deliberately employed in safe and low-demand situations, act as a hidden engine for innovation.
Learning to control when and where the mind wanders may be as valuable as learning to focus it.
12. What does recent research suggest about daydreaming?
A. It serves a useful brain function.
B. It only happens when the mind is idle.
C. It helps the brain process external tasks.
D. It improves the ability to focus for long periods.
13. What did the 2021 study find about participants who rested?
A. They felt less mentally tired.
B. They showed more creativity later.
C. They showed higher job satisfaction.
D. They performed better on memory tests.
14. What can be inferred about intentional mind-wandering?
A. It may bring safety dangers.
B. It may be common during low-stakes tasks.
C. It prevents one from returning to the task.
D. It reduces mental tiredness after demanding work.
15. What does the author suggest about daydreaming?A. Practice it to reduce mental tiredness.
B. Apply it to boost creativity in all tasks.
C. Use it as a replacement for focused work.
D. Let your mind wander on purpose during easy work.

Experts constantly remind us that drinking enough water is absolutely important in order for our bodies to
function properly. ____16____ Though most people worry more about getting dehydrated (脱水), drinking too
much water can be dangerous.
____17____, you may be drinking too much water. Constantly adding water to your body can result in low
sodium (钠) levels in your blood, which can cause all of the cells in your body to swell. What’s more, this can
become particularly dangerous when your brain starts to swell.
The best way to know if your body really needs more water is to be consciously aware of whether or not you
actually feel thirsty. Our bodies are so programmed to fight against dehydration because we’ve always been living
in fear of not having enough, so we have all of these built-in mechanisms to protect us against that. Thirst is every
body’s individual monitor that lets them know if they need more. The more water you need, the thirstier you get.
____18____
You may be drinking too much water if you find yourself often waking up in the middle of the night to use the
bathroom. ____19____ If you find yourself urinating (尿) more than ten times a day, you may be drinking more
water than your body needs. To prevent nighttime urination, have your last glass of water a couple hours before bed
to give your kidneys time to filter the water through your body.
Your kidneys are responsible for filtering the water you drink through your body. When you drink too much
water, your kidneys have to work even harder, creating a stressful reaction from your hormones that leaves your
body stressed and tired. ____20____, it may be because you’ve added unneeded stress to your kidneys.
A. And it is — unless you drink too much of it.
B. Surely you have to drink water as much as you can.
C. Most people urinate between six and eight times a day.
D. These are the reasons you may not be aware of for being thirsty.E. If you take some water with you in the day but empty it in the night
F. If you’re constantly drinking water and find yourself struggling to get out of bed
G. If you carry around your water bottle all day and immediately refill it when it is empty

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Our school’s “Help Others” week was approaching, and our team was responsible for organizing a used book
donation campaign for a rural partner school. We had five days to plan and carry it out, and everyone was eager to
contribute.
On Monday morning, our team leader, Mia, brought us together to discuss our roles. There were four of us on
the team: Mia, Jenny, Kevin and me. Mia assigned different tasks to each of us based on our strengths and interests.
I was put in charge of contacting the rural school to confirm their book needs — a task I felt comfortable with.
By Wednesday, things were going smoothly. We had already collected over 500 books from students and
teachers, and some had been sorted and placed neatly into boxes.
Then, on Thursday morning, Mia received a phone call from Kevin, one of our teammates. He explained that
he had been in a minor car accident and needed to stay at the hospital for check-ups. He sounded worried about
falling behind on his task: sorting and categorizing the donated books by grade level.
We immediately told Kevin to focus on his recovery and that we would handle things.There were over 200
books that had not been sorted out. Each book needed to be labeled by grade (1-6) and packed into boxes. If we
didn’t step up, the rural school would receive a mess of books they couldn’t use, and our campaign would end in
disaster.
After finishing our own tasks, we came together as a team that afternoon. Without hesitation, we all agreed to
take on the remaining work together, making sure nothing fell behind.

【答案】 That evening, instead of going home, we stayed. Mia put the unsorted books into three piles. Jenny
called out each grade level from one to six. I wrote the numbers on small labels. Mia put every labeled book into
the correct box. We worked without stopping. At seven o’clock we were half done. At eight thirty we finished.
Twelve boxes stood in a neat row. We washed the ink off our hands and locked the library. Walking home in the
dark, no one complained. We felt proud. We had done something good for Kevin.
When Kevin returned on Friday morning, he was surprised at the progress we had made in his absence. He
stopped at the door and stared at the boxes. His eyes turned red. Mia told him we stayed late to finish his task.
Kevin hugged each of us. Later that morning we took the books to the rural school. The children ran to the boxes
and opened them with loud cheers. Standing there, we knew the truth. Helping others begins with helping the
person right next to you. That is what teamwork means.
