29、l in touch.Know Before You Go? Mail Rail is a miniature railway designed to carry post, not people. As such, it's not suitable for everyone and weAre unfortunately unable to accommodate wheelchair users on the ride itself.? The Postal Museum is open 10am-5pm every day (closed at Christmas).? Ple

33、therwise entirely sofa-based afternoon of crisps and television, makes for a healthier life than if you hadn' t bothered. The previous recommendation was for a 10- minute minimum, but for years ' nthrageirection of research has been toward the conclusion that there is no minimum at all. This

34、 doesn 51 just go for exerciseA either. Five minutes in nature can boost your mental health; and while one daily serving of vegetables may be too few, it's definitely preferable to zero. If you are wondering whether or not some tiny but healthful activity is worth it, the answeC almost always, i

35、s yes.It' s a little strange actually, that this is even a topic of debate. Of course anything is better than nothing. For one thing, it's a good start for building habits. For another, tiny actions are valuable in themselves. Human bodies aren't digital devices, and health generally isn

36、't a matter of reaching fixed thresholds （槛）； what is good for the organism in large quantities is usually good in smaller ones, too.The real reason for the debate is not that the facts are in dispute （争议）.It's that information is dangerous. When public bodies recommendA say, a 10-minute min

37、imum, it's because they worry that if they don't, people who might otherwise have exercised for 10 minutes will stop after two.Even this column risks making things worse. If you had truly been planning to spend all day on the sofa, perhaps I have inspired you to take a five-minute walk; but

38、if there is a chance that you would have gone to the gym for an hour, reading these words might persuade you to settle for the stroll （散 步）instead.Ideally, we would stop thinking about healthy behaviours in terms of minimums: within reason, you should be doing as much exercise as you can, not as lit

39、tle as you can get away with while remembering that nothing is too minor to be not worth the bother. This is a sensible approach to much of life, I would say, from being a good friend or paying attention to your kids, to saving money or reducing your environmental impact. However much you do 9 it wi

40、ll never be enough. But that is not a reason to do nothing on the contraryA it' s a reason to do something.58. Tiny healthy actions are worthwhile because?A. they contribute to good habits and healthB. they provide abundant choices for fitnessC. they add a new dimension to people, s livesD. they

41、 are easily conducted in people5 s daily lives59. Why don public bodies recommend a minimum time for exercise?A. People have their own concept of time.B. It contradicts with new health guidelines.C. There is a lack of scientific research on it.D. People may misinterpret its real intentions.60. What

42、does the writer want to stress in the passage?A. Life lies in movement.B. All roads lead to Rome.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Anything is better than nothing.We like to think that the human mind is special. One sign of our superiority is self-awareness, which is generally seen as the peak o

43、f consciousness. Only a select group of species has passed the test of being able to recognise themselves in a mirror. Most, including elephants, apes and dolphins, are smart. But now a little fish, the cleaner wrasse has become the first fish ever topass the mirror testa classic experiment used to

44、judge self-awareness in animals. What are we to make of this?Admittedly the mirror test is a questionable way of probing （探究）the minds of other animals. But the finding does fit with a new idea that the ability to recognise oneself is more related to an animal's lifestyle than to its brain size.

45、 Self-awareness is likely to occur in creatures whose survival is dependent on reading the minds of others. In fact, by this way of thinking, it is nothing more than an accidental by-product of evolution a simulation（模拟） created by the brain, or even just a hall of mirrors giving the illusion of com

46、plexity.The cleaner wrasse lives on coral reefs and provides a service by biting parasites （寄 生虫）off the scales of bigger fish gently, a delicate relationship that may require insight into the minds of its clients. Such “ theory of mind “ has long been seen as another cornerstone ofsupmOorityental T

47、he possibility that fish possess it is not, however, the only threat to our human exceptionalism（例夕卜）.It may not be long before computers give us a run for our money , too.Researchers have created a set of tests to look for theory of mind in artificial intelligence and some systems are on the point

48、of passing. No Ais have passed the tests yet, but one got extremely close. We probably don't need to worry about robots that can recognise themselves in mirrors. But we might want to be more open to the idea that human intelligence isn't quite as special as we like to think. 61. What can we

49、learn from the mirror test?A. Mammals have a more adaptive body system.B. A species of fish is capable of self-recognition.C. The human mind is just as special as expected.D. Humans have reached the peak of consciousness.62. According to the passage, self-awareness.A. is formed during evolution by c

50、hance B.corresponds with the size of the brainC.isn't a hall of mirrors but a simulation D.reflects the typical mental complexity63. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means "A. bring us huge profitsB. cost us a lot of moneyC. have great control over usD. challenge our exceptionali

51、sm 64. What' s the main idea of the passage?A. Fish possess no level of intelligence.B. Humans are not unique in intelligence.C. AIs will be able to understand our thoughts.D. Self-awareness is a big mystery of the mind.DFor me, Christmas was always complicated. As a child, it was joyful, yet a

52、bit bittersweet. On the one hand, there was my Scottish mother, who went all -out for tradition. On the other hand, there was my Bengali （孟力口拉） father. He was a reluctant participant in our Christmas celebration.To five-year-old me, the idea that someone might not love Christmas was unbelievable. It

53、 was years before I realised that my father s own childhood had been a Santa-free zone. I was vaguely aware of the Bengali equivalent （等同物） to Christmas. Every September or October, airmail parcels would arrive, and ambitious plans were hatched to acquire syrupy cottage-cheese dumplings. But for me

54、this was an addition to 25 December not a substitution.Matters were further complicated by my father5 s job. After going to medical school in Kolkata, he had got a posting as a junior doctor at a hospital in Glasgow, where he met my mother 9 a nurse.（She gave up work after having children. ） He ofte

55、n had to work on Christmas Day, which would make Mum angry. My sister and I were largely unaware of this tension, thrilled to go to work with Dad and see actual Santa visiting sick children on the wards.As the years went by, though, my father began to accept Christmas. He was promoted to consultant,

56、 so he didn't have to work on the day. Everyone was joyful. Somehow, the more Dad engaged with Christmas, the more I disliked it. It was as if happy atmosphere was one of the infectious diseases he specialised in-1 had caught a terminal case “ while he 0radogmake a full recovery.Things probably

57、became worse in adulthood by the fact that bad events had a habit of happening to me at Christmas: losing a job, a breakup, a health emergency. My symptoms worsened and I gave up on sending cards or putting up decorations.But then, one day everything changed. In October 2012, my father died. He had

58、been in good health; nothing could have prepared us for such a loss. I have no memory of Christmas that year, except that it was the worst of my life.During that period,one of the only things that kept me sane （理智的） was weekly choir （唱诗 班）practice. However, as anyone who has ever been in a choir knows, Christmas is non-negotiable.So I dragged myself out on that freezing night.
