     重读一本你读过很多遍的书，感觉就像和老朋友在一起喝酒。
     Returning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend.

有一种受欢迎的熟悉感——但有时也会有点怀疑，
There's a welcome familiarity - but also sometimes a slight suspicion

时间改变了你们俩，从而改变了你们的关系。
that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship.

但书不会变，人会变。
But books don't change, people do.

这就是为什么重读的行为如此丰富和具有变革性。
And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.

---

     重读的美妙之处在于，我们与作品的联系是建立在我们当前的心理记录之上的。
     The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register.

的确，我年纪越大，就越觉得时间长了翅膀。
It's true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings.

但对于阅读来说，一切都是关于当下的。
But with reading, it's all about the present.

它关乎当下，关乎人们对当下的贡献，
It's about the now and what one contributes to the now,

因为阅读是作者和读者之间的交换。
because reading is a give and take between author and reader.

每个人都要各尽其责。
Each has to pull their own weight.

---

     我每年重读三本书。
     There are three books I reread annually.

第一本是埃姆斯特·海明威的《流动的盛宴》，我每年春天都会读这本书。
The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Emest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast.

1964年出版的这本书是他关于20世纪20年代巴黎的经典回忆录。
Published in 1964,it's his classic memoir of 1920s Paris.

语言几乎是令人陶醉的,
The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的)，

一位上了年纪的作家回顾了一个波澜壮阔却又简单的时代。
an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time.

另一个是安妮·迪拉德的《神圣的坚实》,她的诗歌1975随笔描述了万物与虚无。
Another is Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing.

第三本书是胡里奥·科塔扎的《拯救暮光之城:诗歌精选》, 因为诗歌。
The third book is Julio Cortazar's Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry.

因为科塔萨尔。
And because Cortazar.

---

     虽然我倾向于买很多书，但这三本书是作为礼物送给我的，
     While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts,

这可能会增加我赋予它们的意义。
which might add to the meaning I attach to them.

但我认为，虽然钱确实是美好的，也是必要的，
But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary,

但重读一个作家的作品是读者能支付的最高货币。
rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them.

最好的书是那些随着时间的流逝而翻开得更久的书。
The best books are the ones that open further as time passes.

但是请记住，为了更好地理解你的朋友，你需要成长、阅读、再阅读。
But remember, it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.


作者为什么喜欢重读? 24. Why does the author like rereading?
A. It evaluates the writer-reader relationship. 它评估作者和读者之间的关系。
B. It's a window to a whole new world. 这是通向全新世界的一扇窗户。
C. It's a substitute for drinking with a friend. 这是和朋友喝酒的替代品。
D. It extends the understanding of oneself. 它扩展了对自己的理解。


25. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast? 关于《流动的盛宴》我们知道些什么?

     研究表明，竞走与跑步有许多健身益处，
     Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows,

但很可能造成的伤害更少。
while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.

然而，竞走也有自己的问题。
It does, however, have its own problem.

---

     竞走运动员是训练有素的运动员。
     Race walkers are conditioned athletes.

夏季奥运会上最长的田径项目是50公里竞走，
The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk,

比马拉松长约5英里。
which is about five miles longer than the marathon.

但运动的规则要求：竞走运动员的膝盖要在整个摆腿的过程中保持绷直，并且全程要有一只脚与地面保持接触
But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact(接触) with the ground at all times.

然而，马萨诸塞州塞勒姆州立大学(Salem State University)的运动科学助理教授杰克琳·诺伯格(Jaclyn Norberg)说，正是这种奇怪的形式使竞走成为如此吸引人的活动。
It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.

---

     她说，和跑步一样，竞走也需要体力。
     Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says.

根据大多数的计算结果，以时速6英里的速度竞走的运动员，每小时会消耗大约800卡路里。
According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour,

这一数据虽然比跑步消耗的卡路里少，但却大约是他们步行时所消耗的卡路里的两倍。
which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running,

跑步每小时消耗大约1000卡路里或者更多。
which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.

---

     然而，竞走对身体的冲击并不像跑步那么大，诺伯格博士说。
     However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says.

根据她的研究，跑步者每一步着地的重量是其体重的四倍，
According to her research runners hit the ground with as much a' four times their body weight per step,

而不离开地面的竞走者每走一步只产生大约1.4倍体重的重量。
while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.

---

     因此，她说，一些与跑步相关的损伤，
     As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running,

比如跑步者的膝盖，在竞走者中并不常见。
such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers.

但这项运动的奇怪形式确实会对脚踝和臀部造成相当大的压力，
But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips,

所以有过此类伤害史的人在接受这项运动时可能要谨慎。
so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.

她说，事实上，任何想要尝试竞走的人都应该先咨询教练或有经验的竞走者，学习正确的技术。
In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says.

这需要一些练习。
It takes some practice.

---

为什么竞走运动员会受到制约?
28. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A. They must run long distances. 他们必须跑很长的距离。
B. They are qualified for the marathon. 他们有资格参加马拉松比赛。
C. They have to follow special rules 他们必须遵守特殊的规则
D. They are good at swinging their legs. 它们很擅长摆腿。

竞走比跑步有什么优势?
29. What advantage does race walking have over running?
A. It's more popular at the Olympics. 它在奥运会上更受欢迎。
B. It's less challenging physically. 身体上的挑战更少。
C. It's more effective in body building. 它对健身更有效。
D. It's less likely to cause knee injuries. 它不太可能导致膝盖受伤。

诺伯格博士对竞走爱好者有什么建议?
30. What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A. Getting experts’ opinions. 得到专家的意见。
B. Having a medical checkup. 正在做体检。
C. Hiring an experienced coach. 聘请有经验的教练。
D. Doing regular exercises. 做定期的锻炼。

哪一个词最能描述作者对竞走的态度?
31. Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking?
A. Skeptical. 怀疑的
B. Objective. 客观的
C. Tolerant. 宽容的
D. Conservative. 保守的



     人与植物之间的关系一直是科学研究的主题。
     The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research.

最近的研究发现了其中积极的影响。
Recent studies have found positive effects.

例如，在俄亥俄州的扬斯敦进行的一项研究，
A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example,

发现城市绿化区域的犯罪率较低。
discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.

在另一项研究中，当员工的工作场所装饰有室内植物时，他们的工作效率提高了15%。
In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.

---

     麻省理工学院(MIT)的工程师们更进一步改变了植物的实际成分，以便让它们执行不同的、甚至是不同寻常的功能。
     The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) have taken it a step further-changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse, even unusual functions.

其中包括在植物的叶子上装一个打印传感器，以显示何时缺水，
These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water

以及一种可以检测地下水中有害化学物质的植物。
and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater.

“我们正在考虑如何设计植物的功能，以取代我们每天使用的物品”
“We're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,"

麻省理工学院化学工程教授迈克尔·斯特拉诺(Michael Strano)解释说。
explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.

---

     他的最新项目之一是在实验中使用一些常见的蔬菜使植物发光。
     One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光) in experiments using some common vegetables.

斯特拉诺的团队发现，他们可以制造出持续三个半小时的微弱光线。
Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours.

这种光，大约是阅读所需光线的千分之一，但这只是一个开始。
The light, about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by, is just a start.

斯特拉诺说，这项技术有一天可以用来照亮房间，甚至可以把树变成自动供电的路灯。
The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.

---

     在未来，该团队希望开发出一种产品，对植物的叶子喷洒一次后，在植物的生命周期中持续起作用。
     In the future, the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime.

工程师们还试图开发一种开关，当光线暴露在日光下时，这种开关会使亮度减弱。
The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off "switch" where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.

---

     照明用电约占美国总用电的7%。
     Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total elctricity consumed in the US.

因为照明常常是远离电源
Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源),

比如从发电厂到偏远公路上路灯的距离,
such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway,

大量的能量在传输过程中丢失。
lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).

发光植物可以缩短这段距离，因此有助于节约能源。
Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.


第一段主要讲什么? 32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. A new study of different plants. 对不同植物的新研究。
B. A big fall in crime rates. 犯罪率大幅下降。
C. Employees from various workplaces. 来自不同工作场所的员工。
D. Benefits from green plants. 绿色植物的好处。


麻省理工学院的工程师们在植物叶子上装的打印传感器的功能是什么?
33. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers?
A. To detect plants’ lack of water. 检测植物缺水情况。
B. To change compositions of plants. 改变植物的组成。
C. To make the life of plants longer. 使植物的寿命更长。
D. To test chemicals in plants. 测试植物中的化学物质。

我们对发光植物的未来有什么期待?
34. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future?
A. They will speed up energy production. 他们将加快能源生产。
B. They may transmit electricity to the home. 它们可以把电输送到家里。
C. They might help reduce energy consumption. 它们可能有助于减少能源消耗。
D. They could take the place of power plants. 它们可以取代发电厂。

下面哪一个可以是最好的文本标题?
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Can we grow more glowing plants? 我们能种植更多的发光植物吗?
B. How do we live with glowing plants? 我们怎么和发光的植物生活在一起?
C. Could glowing plants replace lamps? 发光的植物能取代灯吗?
D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free? 发光植物是如何无污染的?

自我接纳的几个小技巧
A Few 'Tips for Self-Acceptance

     我们都想要……接受并爱自己。
     We all want it... to accept and love ourselves.

但有时似乎太难了，遥不可及。
But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach.

从哪里开始
__36 B. Where do you start?__

这里有一些方法可以帮助你找到正确的方向。
Here's a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.

---

     停止与他人作比较
     __37 F. Stop comparing yourself with others.__

不要跟随那些让你觉得自己不够好的人。
Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough.

你为什么要跟着他们?
Why do you follow them?

因为你的生活比他们的好，所以你希望最终你会感到优越感吗?
Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs?

要知道你的生命是你自己的，你是这个世界上的唯一。
Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world.

---

     原谅自己所犯的错误。
     Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.

我们常常为自己的缺点、错误和失败感到羞愧。
We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures.

记住，你只是个凡人
__38 D. Remember, you are only human.__

你会一次又一次地犯错误。
You will make mistakes, time and time again.

与其纠结于如何做得更好，
Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better,

为什么不给自己一个富有同情心的回应？
why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response?

"事情没有按计划进行。但是，我已经尽力了"。
“That didn't go as planned. But, I tried my best."

---

     认清你所有的优点。把它们写在日记里。
     Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal.

开始训练你的大脑在软弱之前先看到自己的强项。
Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness.

列出你所有的成就和事迹。
List all of your accomplishments and achievements.

你有一份工作，获得了学位，今天你起床了。
You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today.

没有什么是不值得庆祝的
__39 C. Nothing is too small to celebrate.__.

---

     现在你列出了你的优点，列出了你的不完美。
     Now that you've listed your strengths, list your imperfections.

翻一页你的日记。
Turn the page in your journal.

用语言表达为什么你觉得自己不值得，为什么你觉得自己不够好。
Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don't feel good enough.

现在，把这些话再读一遍。
Now, read these words back to yourself.

再次感觉心烦意乱了吗?
__40 A. Feeling upset again?__

在你的日记中翻到一页，列出你的优点和成就。
Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.

看看你有多棒?
See how awesome you are?


A. Feeling upset again? 再次感觉心烦意乱了吗?
B. Where do you start? 从哪里开始
C. Nothing is too small to celebrate. 没有什么是不值得庆祝的。
D. Remember, you are only human. 记住，你只是个凡人。
E. Set an intention for self-acceptance. 设定一个自我接受的意图。
F. Stop comparing yourself with others. 停止与他人作比较
G. When does the comparison game start? 比较游戏什么时候开始?


     自从我们的双胞胎开始学走路，
     Since our twins began learning to walk,

我妻子和我一直告诉他们，我们的滑动玻璃门只是一扇窗户。
my wife and I have kept telling them that our sliding glass door is just a window.

原因很明显。
The __41 C. reason__ is obvious.

如果我们承认那是一扇门
If we __42 A.admit__ it is a door,

他们会经常想出去。它会让我们发疯的。
they'll want to go outside __43 B. constantly__. It will drive us crazy.

孩子们显然知道真相
The kids apparently know the __44 D. truth__.

但我们坚持这只是一扇窗户，阻止了他们尝试百万次的开门请求。
But our insisting it's __45 A.merely__ a window has kept them from __46 D. attempting__ millions of requests to open the door.

---

     我讨厌对孩子们撒谎。
     I hate lying to the kids.

总有一天他们会了解真相，发现他们所知道的关于窗户的一切都是谎言
One day they'll __47 C. wake up__ and discover that everything they've always known about windows is a __48 B. lie__.

---

     我不知道父母是否应该不管后果总是说实话
     I wonder if __49 A. parents__ should always tell the truth no matter the __50 D. consequences__.

我非常害怕我们所说的谎言会对孩子的精神造成伤害。
I have a very strong __51 B. fear__ that the lie we're telling is doing __52 C. spiritual__ damage to our children.

门窗有重要的比喻意义
Windows and doors have __53 B. important__ metaphorical(比喻) meanings.

我告诉他们，他们明明知道那是一扇门，却打不开。
I'm telling them they can't open what they absolutely know is a door.

如果在以后的生活中，他们来到一个比喻的门
What if later in __54 A. life__ they come to a metaphorical door,

就像某种机会，而不是打开门抓住机会
like an opportunity(机会) of some sort, and __55 D. instead of__ opening the door and taking the opportunity,

他们只是盯着它，然后想，如果这不是一扇门呢?”
they just __56 B. stare at__ it and wonder, “What if it isn't a door?"

也就是说，如果这不是一个真正的机会?
That is, “What if it isn't a __57 A. real__ opportunity?"

---

     也许这是一种不合理的恐惧。
     Maybe it's an unreasonable fear.

但底线是我不应该对我的孩子们撒谎。
But the __58 C. bottom line__ is that I shouldn't lie to my kids.

我应该接受反复说“不”的事实。我们现在不能出去。
I should just __59 D. accept__ repeatedly having to say, “No. We can't go outside now."

然后当他们来到生活中的其他门，不管是真实的还是隐喻的，
Then when they come to other doors in life, be they real or metaphorical,

他们会毫不犹豫地打开它们，走过去。
they won't __60 C. hesitate__ to open them and walk through.
