Diane Yane always had a close relationship with her grandfather, so when he died in her
twenties, the loss hit her hard. Shortly after that, Yane left her job to work with seniors. “I was
hired as an activities director at a senior living center, and I took to it like a fish to water,” she
recalls. “I started developing relationships with the seniors there. It was like having 200 new
grandparents.”
Yane has been interacting with seniors ever since, from working at a care center to providing
in-home care for private clients. Now, two decades later, she has opened a social club for adults
who are 55 and older-Elder Pep Day Club & Spa( 水疗中心), “I wanted to create a space for
seniors interested in meeting other people, staying active and taking classes,” Yane says.
Members come in for different activities, including chair yoga, Spanish classes, indoor
bowling, card and board games, creative writing, and more, and spa treatments or just to hang out.
Later this year, Yane plans to open the second half of the space as a private spa.
In her years of professional experience with older adults, Yane has seen the extraordinary
benefits of social interaction and human touch. According to a study by the American College of
Health Care Administrators, touch is the most important of our senses, yet it is often overlooked.
“Skin is the body’s largest organ and sends positive and negative signals to the brain. Touch
deprivation（匮乏）, also known as touch starvation, leads to a range of emotional and physical
problems,” it adds.
“I know how important it is for seniors to feel cared for getting their hair and nails done and
receiving massage therapy(按摩疗法),” Yane says, “but what’s really close to my heart is a private
room with a walk-in bathtub. At assisted living facilities, many seniors only have access to a
shower, where they sit on a bench and their caregiver sprays them with water. There’s not a lot of
dignity or joy in that. I want to give seniors back the luxury of submerging(使浸没)their bodies in
a warm bath.”
24．What can we learn about Diane Yane from the first paragraph?
A．She wanted to be free like fish.
B．She liked working with seniors.
C．She was bad at caring for people.
D．She followed her grandfather’s footsteps.
25．What can seniors do at Diane Yane’s club?
A．Avoid any social interaction. B．Get free medical treatment.
C．Enjoy some leisure activities. D．Study with young members.
26．Why is a study mentioned in paragraph 4?
A．To prove the importance of social interaction.
B．To show the necessity of social clubs for seniors．
C. To tell the working principle of the human body.
D. To offer scientific support for Yane’s private spa.
27．What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Walking into a private bathtub. B．Taking an assisted shower.
C．Spraying water for pleasure. D．Receiving massage therapy.

This summer we witnessed interview teams at the North Pole wearing short sleeve shirts due
to the warm weather. A study published on Aug 29 revealed more concerning issues in the
supposedly coldest area of the world. Zombie ice from a massive Greenland ice sheet was
confirmed to be melting, which would eventually raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches (27
centimeters) on its own, reported Associated Press (AP).
Zombie ice is the kind of ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer
getting fed by larger glaciers. Since glaciers are getting less snow to complement the amount of
ice melted, once the zombie ice is melted, it cannot be re-formed.
Scientists decided to look at the balance of the ice. In perfect equilibrium(平衡), snow in the
mountains of Greenland flows down and thickens the sides of glaciers, balancing out what’s
molting on the edges, according to AP. But in the last few decades, there is less refill and more
melting, creating an imbalance.
Study co-author William Colgan at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland told
AP that 3.3 percent of Greenland’s total ice volume will melt eventually. “Starving would be a
good phrase for what’s happening to the ice,” Colgan added.
With a great number of natural resources buried under the earth, areas of melted ice revealed
treasures that attracted the world’s richest men. According to CNN, in early August, there was a
“treasure hunt” in Greenland. Billionaires, including Bill Gates and others, financially backed
KoBold Metals, a US-based mineral exploration company, to explore the rare metals under the
glaciers in Greenland. The company told CNN that since there were enough minerals to power
hundreds of millions of electric vehicles the critical resource is capable of powering the green
energy transition.
While investors are taking advantage of global warming , experts express their concerns that
the mineral exploration is likely to worsen the local environment, draining up the world’s
resources at a faster rate.
28．What do we know about zombie ice?
A．It will melt away from the ice sheet.
B．It’s independent from large glaciers.
C．It has increased sea levels by up to 10 inches.
D．It’s complemented by nearby natural resources.
29．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．What larger glaciers exactly are.
B．Why melted zombie ce can’t be re-formed.
C．What the meliting of zombie ice can lead to.
D．How zombie ice functions in the ecosystem.
30．What’s the experts’ attitude toward the “treasure hunt” in Greenland?
A．Supportive. B．Tolerant. C．Worried. D．Indifferent.
31．What’s the main purpose of the article?
A．To comment on the “treasure hunt”. B．To report on the melting zombie ice.
C．To show the green energy transition. D．To introduce the mineral exploration.

People who frequently eat fruit are more likely to report greater positive mental wellbeing
and are less likely to report symptoms of depression than those who do not, according to new
research from the College of Health and Life Sciences, Aston University. The team also found that
people who eat savoury ( 咸味的) snacks such as crisps ( 薯片), which are low in nutrients, are
more likely to report greater levels of anxiety.
Published in the British Journal of Nutrition, the study surveyed 428 adults from across the
UK and looked at the relationship between their consumption of fruit, vegetables, sweet and
