Passage 1
When I was three, I had a very gd friend named Gemma. She was fearless where I was anxius, 1 where I was cnservative and skillful where I was clumsy. She was als entirely imaginary.
I can’t remember when r hw I “met” Gemma, and, perhaps sadder still, I dn’t remember the last time I “saw” her. Even thugh my brain created her, she 2 me t g n adventures I wuld nt have had the cnfidence t embark upn withut her. S it saddened me t see the results f a recent survey shwing 72% f nursery wrkers believed children have fewer 3 friends than they did five years ag, with 63% believing this t be a result f increased screen time.
It’s thught that 40% f us had imaginary friends during ur 4 . In an essay, the researchers fund that 81% f thse surveyed had “lst” their imaginary friends after they turned 10, but mst f these friendships ended 5 . Perhaps imaginary friends simply stay with us fr as lng as we need them, mving n when ur lives becme t full and laded fr ur brains t make space t generate their wn 6 .
If yu’ve enjyed an imaginary friendship, I’d guess that yu did nt cnsciusly sit dwn t create a perfect pal-they prbably arrived 7 , as an indicatin f thughts and ideas yu never knew yu had. Our imaginary friends prmpt us t explre and hnur ur curisity. It is very hard t make the time and the space t d this as an adult. In rder t be a gd 8 t an imaginary friend, yu need t be able t make “what if?” int an exciting plan. When we grw up. we’re t quick t finish the sentence with, “what if it ges wrng?”
As an adult, we might nt still need imaginary friends, but maybe we need t be reminded that a little bit f 9 is gd fr us, and that ur brains can cnjure up (想起) the best ideas when they are left t their wn devices. If there are fewer imaginary friends ppulating the wrlds that ur children live in, that might lead t a future with fewer artists, writers and prblem-slvers, which is a real cause fr 10 .

Passage 3
Prductin f bttled water has grwn ver the past thirty years frm nthing int a $16 billin-per-year business. Hwever, mre and mre peple have been against bttled water use, and envirnmentalists are 1 peple t g back t the tap.
The first reasn why yu shuld seriusly think abut 2 bttled water, they say, is that it’s bad fr the envirnment. Prducing plastic bttles 3 vast quantities f il. As a result, factries create pisnus waste and send it int the envirnment. What is mre, the vast majrity f plastic water bttles aren’t 4 . In almst every part f the wrld, unwanted water bttles take up landfills and send dangerus gases int air and water when they are burned. In ther wrds, bttled water is a majr 5 t glbal warming.
Secndly, the 6 f bttled water requires a lt f fuel. In the USA alne, ne billin bttles f water are mved arund each week in trucks, giving ff plluting gases. In fact, sme high-priced water is 7 frm ne side f the planet t the ther.
Finally, bttled water isn’t even better fr yur health. Tap water rules in many cuntries are far 8 than thse fr bttled water. Furthermre, tap water cntains fluride, which is added t help build strng teeth and prevent tth decay(龋齿). Cnsequently, as the use f bttled water has 9 , tth decay has becme mre serius.
T sum up, by stpping the use f bttled water, and encuraging thers t d s, yu will be ding the planet an enrmus 10 and benefiting yur wn health as well.

Passage 4
In interviews, famus peple ften say that the key t becming bth happy and successful is t “d what yu lve.” But mastering a skill, even ne that yu deeply lve, calls fr plenty f drills. Any challenging activity — frm cmputer prgramming t playing a musical instrument t athletics — requires 1 practice. A perfect glf swing r faultless butterfly strke (蝶泳) takes cuntless hurs f practice and repetitins t perfect.
Anyne wh wants t have a gd cmmand f a skill must g thrugh the 2 f practice, critical feedback, plish, and increasing imprvement again, again, and again. Sme peple seem able t cncentrate n practicing an activity like this fr years and take pleasure in their gradual imprvement. Yet thers find this kind f fcused, time-intensive wrk t be 3 r bring. Why?
The distinctin may depend n the ability t enter int a state f “flw,” the feeling f being cmpletely invlved in what yu are ding. Flw states can happen in the curse f any activity, and they are mst cmmn when a task has definite gals and where the individual is able t 4 their perfrmance t clear and immediate feedback.
Csikszentmihalyi suggested that thse wh mst 5 entered int flw states had an “auttelic persnality” — a tendency t seek ut challenges and get int a state f flw. While thse withut such a persnality see difficulties, auttelic individuals see pprtunities t build skills and they have lw levels f self-centeredness. Such peple, with their ability t fcus n tasks rather than rewards have a great 6 ver thers in develping their innate (天生的) abilities. But hw can we get int flw state fr an activity s that we enjy bth the prcess f imprving skills and the 7 f being a master?
Obviusly fr thse f us wh dn’t necessarily pssess an auttelic persnality, there is evidence that flw states can be 8 by envirnmental factrs. Fr instance, in Mntessri schls, students d nt study by fllwing direct instructin. Instead, they are encuraged t develp and pursue persnal interests. Cmpetitin is 9 and grading is nt emphasized. Students are gruped tgether accrding t shared interests, rather than separated by ability.
While there isn’t yet a pill that can turn dull practice int an exciting activity fr anyne, it is cmfrting that we seem t be able t advance int flw states. By giving urselves unstructured, pen-ended time, minimum distractins and task set at mderate level f 10 , we may be able t lve what we’re ding while we put in the hard wrk practicing the things we lve ding.

Passage 1
In the heart f the Amazn rainfrest, a team f scientists is wrking tirelessly t 1 the effects f climate change n the lcal ecsystem. The Amazn, ften referred t as the “lungs f the Earth,” plays a crucial rle in 2 the planet’s climate. Hwever, defrestatin and rising temperatures are threatening its 3 .
Dr. Maria, the lead researcher, has spent ver a decade studying the rainfrest. She explains that the Amazn is nt just a cllectin f trees but a cmplex 4 f plants, animals, and micrrganisms. Each species plays a vital rle in maintaining the balance f the ecsystem. “If ne species disappears, it can have a 5 effect n the entire system,” she says.
The team’s research has revealed sme alarming trends. Fr instance, the number f certain bird species has 6 significantly ver the past decade. This decline is directly linked t the lss f their natural habitat due t defrestatin. Dr. Maria and her team are nw wrking n 7 t prtect these species. They are als cllabrating with lcal cmmunities t prmte sustainable practices that can help 8 the rainfrest.
Despite the challenges, Dr. Maria remains ptimistic. She believes that with the right strategies, it is pssible t 9 the damage and restre the Amazn’s health. “We have the knwledge and the tls,” she says. “What we need nw is glbal cperatin and 10 t make a difference.”

Passage 2
Cable cmpanies expand public Wi-Fi fr custmer lyalty
Eager t keep their users cnnected utside the hme, cable cmpanies are rapidly expanding their public Wi-Fi netwrks.
An effrt that began less than tw years ag, the “Cable WiFi” initiative was frmed with the 1 that cable Internet subscribers will want t remain plugged int their favrite websites and nline vides — withut 2 the mnthly data limits f wireless carrier cntracts.
Five cable cmpanies have installed abut 250,000 public htspts — up frm 150,000 when it started in 2012 — at 3 places like malls, public parks, cafes and small businesses.
Cmcast, the natin’s largest residential bradband Internet prvider, is 4 its wn public Xfinity-branded Wi-Fi htspts by installing a secnd line in their subscribers’ hme ruters (路由器) if they can get the hmewners’ permissin s that their subscribers visiting these Wi-Fi-enabled neighbrhds can surf the Net fr free.
The initiative is a direct 5 t the grwing influence f vide. Watching YuTube r nline vides requires heavy 6 that can exhaust wireless data quickly. And mre cable cmpanies are ffering “TV anywhere” ptins fr members t stream shws utside the hme.
While the effrt requires heavy investment, cable cmpanies are banking n their subscribers t increase their reliance n Wi-Fi utdrs and lwer the rate f custmer 7 f the Internet service, says Kelly Davis-Felner, vice president f marketing fr the Wi-Fi Alliance, a grup that certifies and 8 public Wi-Fi usage.
“There is an immediate impact in 9 Wi-Fi utside the hme,” she says. “It’s an pprtunity t ffer a higher level f service.”
Fr nw, the cable cmpanies’ htspts are a bit f a(n) 10 service as many users still rely n their wireless netwrks utdrs. “But there is a lyal grup f users that appreciates metr Wi-Fi,” says Pat Esser, president f Cx.
