Sandi Patty has been a name synonymous(同义的)with Gospel music because of her singing ability since she released her first album in 1979.
Patty's newest book, The Voice, takes a deep dive into parts of her life she's kept private for years. Surprisingly, The Voice is not primarily concerned with Patty's singing voice. Patty was always a talented singer. However, she struggled to find her inner voice and speak up for herself. "I was a shy kid. Words were hard for me,” Patty said.
One of the reasons why Patty found it so difficult to use her voice was a traumatic childhood experience. At age six, she was abused by a friend, an experience she opened up for the first time in the book.
She is sharing the story of her experience now, hoping it will help other people feel less alone. "Feeling alone keeps everybody silent about the tough times in our lives, so we think we're the only ones," Patty said. She wrote in The Voice that she felt like it was her job to make everyone feel better.
Friendships were essential for helping Patty find the courage to speak up. They reminded her that she didn't need to make others feel better because the people she loved didn't doubt she cared for them.
Friends and family were crucial for helping Patty confront another struggle she faced-shame. She felt unpleasant for insecurities about her weight and her divorce. "I've heard it explained that guilt tells us we have done something wrong and shame says we are wrong,” Patty said. "I want people to know that their stories and their voices matter," Patty said. "We have to figure out a way to take our pain away and put it where it needs to be, without letting it guide our lives. Pain is a part of our story. It describes us, but it doesn't need to define us.”
24. What does Patty's newest book focus on?
A. Her singing ability.
B. Her dream of success.
C. Her advice on singing well.
D. Her private experiences.
25. What does the underlined word "traumatic" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Bitter.
B. Relaxing.
C. Valuable.
D. Practical.
26. How did Patty's friends influence her?
A. They helped her get rid of loneliness.
B. They witnessed her success.
C. They inspired her to act bravely.
D. They helped her find out problems.
27. What do Patty's words in the last paragraph intend to show?
A. The need to be independent.
B. The importance of relieving our pain.
C. The necessity of accepting our life.
D. The meaning of learning about ourselves.
C
Researchers have been investigating for years the ways in which screens affect the quality of a person's reading. The magazine Scientific American reported that at least 100 studies have been published on the issue since the 1980s.
Virginia Clinton carried out a research examination. She is a professor of Education, Health and Behavior at the University of North Dakota. She found what she called a "small but significant" difference in reading text from screen versus paper.
Clinton looked at 33 past studies that examined paper versus screen reading. All of the studies were done between 2008 and 2018. The studies collectively had 2,799 study subjects, including both children and adults. Clinton's examination found that reading from paper generally led to better understanding and improved a person's performance on tests connected to the reading material. And, she found no major differences in reading speed between the two.
Clinton and other researchers have found screen readers often believe they understand a text better than they really do. And, they are more likely than paper readers to overestimate how well they would do on a test of the materials they have read.
Yet, this overestimated sense of understanding is especially common among screen readers. Clinton said, "There are many possible reasons for such findings. Overconfidence of screen readers, for example, could be the result of a distracted, less focused mind. Readers' preferences are also important. Research shows the majority of people of all ages prefer reading from paper. If you are enjoying the
reading process, you're going to be more involved. You're going to be paying better attention. Preferences are a key issue here.”
Several studies have found that people often think of paper materials as something more important and serious. "If you are reading from paper, your mind thinks this is something important. I need to pay attention to it,” Clinton said.
28. How did Clinton find the so-called difference?
A. By doing many surveys.
B. By doing 2,799 research.
C. By analyzing research findings.
D. By publishing texts on a magazine.
29. What benefit does reading froth paper bring to readers?
A. Higher reading speed.
B. Better reading efficiency.
C. Stronger reading interest.
D. Happier reading experiences.
30. How will screen readers feel after finishing reading?
A. Empty-headed.
B. Anxiety-ridden.
C. Energetic.
D. Overconfident.
31. Which aspect of reading will readers' preferences have an effect on?
A. The concentration.
B. The duration.
C. The material.
D. The method.
D
We have recently heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the future. One project in Britain is testing this superfast technology, but not on humans. Instead, the experiment involves an unlikely group of Internet users-cows. The system connects the animals to 5G in an effort to automate the milking process.
The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems. It is part of a Cisco-led program called 5G Rural First. Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural communities around the world. Rural areas are expected to be the last to receive 5G service.
Testing areas were set up on farms in three rural areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices that link up to a robotic milking system. The system uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers
say the technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each individual cow. It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward.
One of the test areas is in the town of Shepton Mallet, in southwest England. There about 50 of the farm's 180 cows are fitted with 5G smart collars and health-observing ear sensors. Project officials say the devices do not harm the cows and the sensors permit farmers to immediately identify any problem or health concerns.
Other technology tools powering the 5G smart farms include automated brushes that work automatically when the cow rubs up against them. Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows' living areas depending on the weather. And, an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat.
Nick Chrissos works on the project for Cisco. He said the system could connect every cow And every other animal on the whole farm. "That's what 5G can do for farming-really release the power that we have within this farm, everywhere around the United Kingdom, and everywhere around the world.”
32. Why was the program developed?
A. To produce more milk.
B. To care for cows better.
C. To try out 5G in rural areas.
D. To improve 5G system on farms.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The way SG system controls the milking process.
B. The way 5G system is set up on the farms.
C. The reason why 5G is used on the cows.
D. The reason why 5G is popular with the farms.
34. Which paragraph talks about extra technology applications on the 5G farm?
A. Paragraph 1.
B. Paragraph 2.
C. Paragraph 4.
D. Paragraph 5.
35. What may be the best title for the text?
A. 5G Is Used Widely on the Cows of British Farms
B. 5G Has Reached Rural Areas of the United Kingdom
C. British Cows Connected to 5G Can Control Their Own Milking
D. Farmers in British Are Using 5G to Improve Their Life

If you're looking for ways to increase your income, you might be considering accepting ads for some companies' products on your website. Here are the ways;
Promote an affiliated(附属)product on your site. Joining a company's affiliated program is one of the simplest ways to start Internet advertising. While affiliated links aren't technically ads, they allow you to make money by promoting someone else's product. 36
Use targeted advertising with Google AdSense. Google's AdSense program allows you to make money by placing targeted text ads made by Google on your pages. The ads appear in the bottom of a web page with the words "Ads by Google" over the top. 37 Anyone, even students, can use it. Google does all the work of finding relevant ads
for your site, and you just collect the payments.
38 If your site is already getting lots of trade, try looking for sites that offer more products. Be sure to contact potential Internet advertising partners in
a professional manner. Call them on the phone instead of just e -mailing them so your communication is more personal and professional. 39 The more information you can give them, the more likely they will be to consider your offer.

to feature blog-specific ads on your site. The key is to consider the kinds of ads your target audience will find valuable. Get advertisers interested in your blog with

The more advanced technology becomes, the more it seems to have control over our lives. We shop, work, play, search for information and seek 61 (chat) with each other online. Yet people are not arguing about this astonishing condition. It 62 (believe) that people have readily embraced technology, seeking only the benefits but 63 (ignore) its drawbacks.
It does not matter whether your home is in a 64 (noise) downtown or in the remote countryside. If you have a screen 65 it can pick up a signal, your mind is still in the same placeless place. This place is the zone 66 your mind will go when you stare at a screen, and it feels like your mind stops thinking.
Recent developments in technology also led to a decline in normal social behaviors.
In past ages, you could walk around town for a whole day without seeing all the people you know. Now, everyone you know is 67 arm's reach, taking that certain psychological feeling out of seeing people. You can see them every second of every day, and hear nearly single thought of theirs just as they hear 68 (you).
In 69 (conclude), modern technology can be a double-edged sword. They do have their advantages, but they can change our lives 70 (complete).
