When horses raise their noses and open their nostrils (鼻孔) , their nervous system allows them to sense smells we cant sense. This might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows, eating only the tastiest grasses, experts say.Whale says thanksIn 2011, a whale expert spotted a humpback whale trapped in a fishing net and spent an hour freeing it. Afterward, in an hour-long display of thanks, the whale swam near their boat and leaped into the air about 40 times.Pandas like to be naughtyIs there anything more lovely than a baby panda, except maybe a human baby? In fact, baby pandas sometimes behave like human babies. They sleep in the same positions and value their thumbs. Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviors such as covering its face with a paw of ducking its head when confronted by a stranger.A cat honors its ownerPaper towels, and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo, a devoted three-year-old gray-and-white cat, has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzos grave every day since the man died in September 2011.

BA walk through the galleries of Quebecs Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics (陶瓷制品) to Inuit sculpture.While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.We know that art contributes to neural(神经的) activity, said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil. What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being.Hlne Boyer, vice president of a Montreal-based medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter (神经传导物质) known as the happy chemical which helps to lift mood.According to Boyer, the small increase in hormones（荷尔蒙）associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods. As Bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain, she says. When you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily life.I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century, said Bondil. Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.24. What does Hlne Boyer think of museum visits?A. They can cheer people up.B. They can reduce physical activity.C. They can slow down our life pace.D. They can increase levels of art appreciation.25. How do museum visits affect people?A. Stop them concentrating on pain.B. Stop them focusing on traditional methods.C. Encourage them not to be absent-minded.D. Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.26. What does the last paragraph suggest?A. Physical activities were popular in the 19th century. B. Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.C. Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.D. Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now. 27. What is the main idea of the text?A. Museum visits are ideal for the elderly. B. Happy chemical helps to lift mood.C. Peaceful environment helps escape pain. D. Cultural activities will promote health. CVictor Frankl, the author of Mans Search far Meaning, once wrote, Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedomsto choose ones attitude in any given set of circumstances. Frankl was right. Attitude is a choice. You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control. However, there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude.To be honest, it wasnt until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact. All through my teens and into my early adult life, I cant tell you the number of times that I heard, Bob, if youd just change your attitude, you would do a lot better. At that time, I didnt know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it!Attitude and results are inseparable, They follow one another as night follows day. One is the cause, while the other, the result. There is a term we use to distinguish this cause and effect relationship, which is called The Law of Cause and Effect. Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude. Thus, it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. Theyre in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice.You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Dorothea Brand once said, Act as if it were impossible to fail, and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are. Dont wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.28.What can we know from Paragraph 1?A.Freedom is the last thing we can control.B.Most problems in life are in our control.C.We can choose our attitude at any time.D.A man can lose anything but freedom.29.Why docs the author use the example of himself in Para. 2?A.To show attitude is important to the old.B.To show understanding attitude takes time.C.To prove attitude impacts greatly on people.D.To prove the author was very stubborn.30.Knowing “The Law of Cause and Effect helps readers _A.understand what causes a good attitudeB.analyze the effect of a negative attitudeC.understand cause and effect relationship betterD.know the benefit of choosing active attitude31.What is the writers message conveyed in this passage?A.Winning is a matter of control.B.Success begins with positive attitude.C.Bad attitude results in bad results.D.Attitude and results are inseparable.DThe 2019 World Conference on VR Industry shows that Virtual Reality (VR) technology can be used to revolutionize peoples experiences in practically any field.Held in Nanchang from Oct. 19 to 22, the annual conference attracted more than 300 experts, leading scholars and company principals from over 30 countries.
