Researchers say they have created a new super-tough material in the laboratory. It is stronger, lighter and costs less than steel. But the new material is not a product of high technology. It is wood. Researcher Liangbing Hu says that it can compete with some of the world’s strongest materials or even replace steel.
The product is called Super Wood. It doesn't require any special raw, unprocessed material. That means the cost of the product will be relatively low.Hu said, “We can start with very cheap wood, and also very fancy, epensive wood. But in the end, we get very similar performance.”
Super Wood is made by partially removing a natural polymer called lignin(木质素). Hu eplained, “Lignin is lie glue to hold all the parts together in natural wood. To be able to densify(增密)the wood completely, some of the lignin has to be removed. “Strong chemicals are put on the wood to remove about half of its lignin. Then, after being left in etreme heat and pressuried for a day, the treated wood is ready.
The wood is strong enough to build automobiles, airplanes, wind turbines and more. Researchers are finding many new ways to use wood, including creating batteries and see-through wood and paper.Hu said, “Wood has been eisting on Earth for more than a million years. And human beings have been using wood for furniture, construction for more than 10 thousand years. And the more we wored on this material, we realied, we have never fully ehausted the potential of this amaing material.”
24. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of Super Wood?
A. Strong. B. Tough.. C. High-tech. D. Low-cost.
25. What is the 3rd paragraph mainly about?
A. The quality of Super Wood. B. The densifying function of lignin.
C. The amount of removed lignin. D. The maing process of Super Wood.
26. What’s Liangbing Hu’s attitude towards the future of Super Wood?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Negative.
C
You may have heard the term self-awareness, but what is it and why does it matter?
Being self-aware can influence how you feel in your job and in your personal life. Daniel Goleman taes that connection much further, saying self-awareness is the ey to success. He describes self-awareness as “nowing one’s internal(内在的)states ,preference and resources”, and then monitoring that “inner world” information as it comes up. If you can be as aware of your feelings and thoughts, you’ll be better able to deal with new situations. Because you now yourself better, you’ll be more accepting of yourself, your thoughts and your feelings, Goleman says.
But self-awareness doesn’t stop at how you see yourself. It’s also understanding and acnowledging how others see you. Tasha Eurich, an organiational psychologist, eplains that self-awareness has two parts — internal and eternal(外部的). Internal self-awareness means we can clearly see our own values, thoughts, passions and feelings. Eternal self-awareness is clearly seeing how others see us. People who are eternally self-aware tend to be better leaders.
So how do you now if you’re self-aware or not? Eurich developed a short online qui to help. You’re not the only one who has to tae it. Someone who nows you well also has to answer questions about you.
In a recent TED Tal, Eurich refers to self-awareness unicorns. This group maes up only a small part of all the people she has studied. These are people who not only believe they are self-aware, but other people who now them would agree. Additionally, these unicorns would say they have improved their self-awareness in their lives and again, those who now them well would agree.
Thanfully, anyone can become more self-aware, as long as they're willing to devote some time and effort to the cause.
27. According to Daniel Goleman, a self-aware person ________.
A. feels content with his life
B. has a burning desire for success
C. handles his self-information well
D. avoids challenging new situations
28. In Eurich’s theory, what helps mae a better leader?
A. Clear thining. B. Internal self-awareness.
C. Sharp understanding. D. Eternal self-awareness.
29. How does Eurich’s qui assess one’s self-awareness?
A. By setting criteria for answers.
B. By measuring others’ reactions.
C. By analying qui-taers’ questions.
D. By matching internal and eternal opinions.
30. What can be inferred about unicorns from the 5th paragraph?
A. They are rare talents. B. They fail to get approval.
C. They are born eperts. D. They try to please others.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Something happens to many children when they are out of school over the summer months. It is called the “summer slide.” This may sound lie a ride at a water par. But it’s not. Summer slide is when children forget much of what they learned during the latest school year.
To fight the effects of summer slide, teachers often give students homewor over the summer. Many parents may send children to all inds of camps or find other activities to eep them learning. Some even try to build up their children’s strengths by getting them into etra tutoring.
However, eperts say eeping children busy all the time is not good for them. The result is often a tired child with an overcrowded schedule. This eeps a child’s brain active constantly—learning, gathering information and preparing for the net event. And this may have the opposite effect the parents are not hoping for.
What should parents do instead? Nothing. According to Lea Waters, a psychologist specialiing in positive psychology and positive education, slowing down actually helps children become the best they can be. Machines need to be reset, while ids need to goof off(偷懒). She says that goofing off really allows ids to have some downtime, when they’re not focused on a specific tas but are free to do something that they're interested in doing and that they can do more automatically and get enjoyment from, lie shooting basets or listening to the music.
She also adds that goofing off does not mean the brain isn’t woring. It just goes into this default networ mode(默认网络模式)and uses that time to process all the information it had during the day, to integrate(整合)new information. It maes a ind of decision about what information to put into memory and what to get rid of, which in fact helps to improve memory.
