I used to get a film camera as a present when I was in my early teens. When I got it, I immediately got on my bike and rode over to Wimbledon Common to take pictures of trees and wildlife that I would only have for myself. All day, I was not in. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendor, Rushing home, I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see ha w it came out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, allowing me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I’ve taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.
（ ）24．What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy
A．Inspiring and practical. B．Tiring yet delightful.
C．Exciting and worthwhile. D．Difficult yet engaging.
（ ）25．Why did the author stop taking photos according to Paragraph 2
A．He wanted to focus on his work. B．He was struck by sudden sorrow.
C．He attempted to behave like an adult. D．He was faced with increasing pressure.
（ ）26．What did the author get from picking up his hobby
A．Much enjoyment in the daily routine. B．New journeys in the wild.
C．Better skills of observation. D．Different styles of photography.
（ ）27．What is the best title for the text
A．Revisiting Lost Childhood Memories B．Appreciating Beauty Behind the Lens
C．Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera D．Regaining Pleasure Through Photography
C
A 2012 study coined the term “IKEA effect”, demonstrating that adults who successfully completed tasks valued the completed products more highly than comparable products they did not create themselves.
A new paper, authored by psychologist Lauren Marsh, reports an initial experiment in which 64 children aged 3 to 6 were given the opportunity to interact with two My “monsters” —one that they created themselves following instructions from a kit, and another that they merely held on to while playing a short game. Before creating or holding either monster, the experimenters had each child rate how much they liked each monster, either rating a monster identical to the monster about to be created, or rating the monster the child would go on to hold. These ratings were repeated after creating or holding a monster to assess how much each monster’s perceived value was affected by the previous interaction. If children value objects more highly just because they successfully created the objects—if kids show an IKEA effect—we’d expect kids’ ratings to increase more than for the monster they just held. And this is precisely what the researchers found, but only for the 5- and 6-year-olds. The 3- and 4-year-olds showed no such effect.
Across two subsequent studies, the researchers varied the features of the experiments, including whether creating the monster required lower or higher levels of effort, whether the created monster was owned by the child, and whether the finished monster would be displayed in public. These factors didn’t have any reliable effects on the 5- and 6-year-old participants’ ratings of how much they valued the monsters, even though the children, on average, showed an IKEA effect. This provides some evidence against the idea that these factors are what drives the IKEA effect, at least in young.
It’s always possible that effort, ownership, or signaled competence makes a difference, but the experiments didn’t measure the effects of these factors in an effective way. Marsh and colleagues have their own proposal: beginning around age 5, children come to value their own creations because they “become part of who we are, a concrete representation of self.”
（ ）28．What did the researchers have the children do during the initial experiment
A．Complete a short game. B．Follow instructions from a kit.
C．Choose their favourite one from two toys. D．Express their fondness degree for the monsters.
（ ）29．What was the purpose of the initial experiment
A．To evaluate the results of the interactions.
B．To test if IKEA effect applies to young kids.
C．To check if IKEA effect boosts children’s creativity.
D．To gather data on the perceived value of the monsters.
（ ）30．What can we learn from the subsequent studies
A．Effort level contributes to children’ preference.
B．Public remarks have an impact on kids’ assessment.
C．Influence of different features is inconclusive in children.
D．External factors are undoubtedly the drivers of IKEA effect.
（ ）31．What might be the cause of the IKEA effect in kids according to Marsh
A．Realization of self-value. B．Strong sense of competition.
C．Attachment to the creations. D．Effective ways of measurement.
D
Here are the simple instructions given by a Harvard University assistant professor to people participating in a recent science study: “Imagine the following scene. Visualize it in your mind’s eye, as vividly as you can: a person walks into a room and knocks a ball off a table.”
The assistant professor, Tomer Ullman, then asked those in the study about their mental images: “Did you see how big the ball was How about the person’s hair color ” Most participants visualized the former but not the latter. Ullman and his colleagues term this absence of details “noncommitment” to mental imagery （意象）.
Brain imaging studies show that mental imagery engages the same neurons (744770) in similar ways as perception (EXXI). Visualizing things seems to have much in common with actually seeing them. But if mental images are indeed pictures, why do they lack such simple details
Ullman and his colleagues conducted a series of experiments in which participants visualized the ball and table scene and were then presented with the questions selected by the researchers. The findings show 78% of the participants did not visualize at least two details. People are often unaware of how little detail their mental images contain until asked. They don’t notice how much they don’t notice. It has nothing to do with a person forgetting the contents of a mental image, and it also is found in people with vivid imaginations.
“Nearly everyone can tell you the size of the ball but not the person’s hair color,” Ullman says. “It’s like there’s one hierarchy when we construct images, and spatial properties are high up. Then things like colors are further down.” This fits with Kosslyn’s “skeletal image” theory, in which overall shape is generated first, and other details are added as needed.
“There are imagery-based systems for interviewing people who witnessed a crime to guide them through trying to visualize it as accurately as possible,” Kosslyn says. Imagination is an issue, but understanding noncommitment better could help develop ways of getting more accurate eyewitness evidence, he says. “That’s worth a lot.”
（ ）32．What does noncommitment to mental imagery refer to
A．Imagining a scene in one’s mind vividly. B．Remembering the size of a ball exactly.
C．Picturing things in one’s mind partially. D．Forgetting a person’s hair colour entirely.
（ ）33．Why do people ignore some details when visualizing things
A．They fail to realize. B．They have poor memories.
C．They lack a rich imagination. D．They think in a wrong way.
（ ）34．What does the underlined word “hierarchy” probably mean in paragraph 5
A．Prejudice. B．Order. C．Height. D．Standard.
（ ）35．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The potential value of the research. B．The further prospect of the research.
C．The importance of looking for a witness. D．The difficulty in finding evidence of a crime.

And talk about your struggles, happiness and guilty pleasures. Think about how good it feels to tell a friend you secretly like a boring TV show and hear them say “Me too!”. We feel a deeper connect ion to our friends when our weakness is me t with support. 39 .
Talk about your disagreements. It’s hard to deal with conflict in friendships. 40 It might be painful at first, but it shows you want to be sincere with them—and that you want to make your relationship better.

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。
It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farmhouse listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze （吃草）. I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven （编织的） blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
Paragraph 1: Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.

Paragraph 2: We had no idea where we were and it got dark.

第二节：
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. This unexpected appearance frightened my horse, which made it run wildly. I tried my best to control it, but in vain. Frightened as I was, I tried to keep my balance to prevent myself from falling off. Fortunately, minutes later, the horse stopped before a river, out of breath, and so did I. At that moment, my dad also came up. Seeing I was OK, he was quite relieved. But it was clear that we got lost.
Paragraph 2:
We had no idea where we were and it got dark. We didn’t know where the farm house was. What we could do was to go back along the previous track slowly. But it was really difficult for us in such a dark situation. Just as we were at the point of desperation, we heard a faint voice from the distance. “It must be Uncle Paul,” I said. So we cried back with excitement. Finally, Uncle Paul safely brought us back home. What an amazing ride!
