After decluttering guru( 整理大师 ) Marie Kondo published her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up in

2010,“tidy house, tidy mind” has become a belief for many people. They throw away anything that doesn't “bring joy” and

put everything in order.

But recently, the Japanese guru announced that she would be giving up on tidying up her house to spend more time on

her children. The news shocked many followers and also caused heated discussion on social media as people asked the

question: shouldn't we always keep our house tidy?

Some people insist that mastering the art of decluttering has the power to relieve our lives. By repackaging, labeling

and arranging things neatly, people can feel more in control of their environment and spend less time looking for daily

necessities. To some extent, “by tidying, we're allowed to adjust ourselves; we're able to discover our sense of value.”

Wang Zehu, a decluttering consultant in Shanghai, told China Daily.

Yet it holds the untold negative of cleanliness and order as well—the constant worries over what can prove to be

trivial matters, said Zoe Williams of The Guardian. For example, you may ask yourself: “Did I put my books on the shelf

correctly?” “Where's the perfect place to put my towels?” and so on. Ironically, just worrying about small things also leads

to wasted time.

Since decluttering continued enjoying popularity, social media has encouraged aesthetics( 审美观) that tend to make

“tidy backdrops a lack of personal style,” noted the New York Post. Sometimes, “clutter” conveys something about the

owner of the living space, showing off their personality and celebrating the beauty which “can't be copied”.

In fact, the act of “decluttering” or “keeping order in chaos” is simply away to bring joy and find happiness. As Kondo

herself told The Washington Post, “The true purpose of tidy is not to cut down on your possessions or declutter your space,

but rather to learn to make meaningful choices and find gratitude in everyday life.

24.HowdoesdeclutteringbenefitpeopleaccordingtoWangZehu?

A. It helps to save time and space. B. It gives people a greater sense of control.

C. It helps people know what they truly value. D. It helps to reduce stress and anxiety.

25. What does the underlined word “trivial” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Urgent B. critical C. Complex D. Insignificant

26. What is the main idea of the second-to-last paragraph?

A. Decluttering is rising in world popularity.

B. The decluttering trend goes against creativity.

C. Decluttering has created a new form of beauty.

D. Decluttering is bring out people's personality.

27. In Marie Kondo’s opinion, what is the true purpose of tidying?

A. To be organized and productive. B. To reduce one's desire for material goods.

C. To create a comfortable environment. D. To live a meaningful life and be grateful.

Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid was known as “the Queen of the Curve”; Italian-born British architect Richard

Rogers liked high-tech steel structure... Many star architects are easily recognized by their typical styles. Unlike them,

however, British architect David Chipperfield is famous for having no typical style.

For more than 40 years, Chipperfield has worked across many different building types from museums to

apartment houses in different cities. While the type and location of his projects vary, his idea of matching buildings to

the cities and local cultures they are built in has never changed.

On March 7, Chipperfield was named the winner of the 2023 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the highest honor in

architecture. As the Pritzker jury( 评审委员会) wrote, “We do not see an instantly recognizable David Chipperfield

building in different cities, but different DavidChipperfieldbuildingsdesignedspecificallyforeachcircumstance.

When designing buildings, Chipperfield often looks into local architectural traditions. He includes colonnades( 柱

廊) in his European projects, as well as courtyards in the Chinese ones. He also uses local materials. When building the

US Saint Louis Art Museum's East Building, he used aggregates(建筑集料) made of stone and sand from the Missouri

River, reported CNN.

Chipperfield thinks that the world is filled with bad modern architecture. During a 2011TedX talk, he said so

many global buildings are finished fast without concern for the future. “As an architect, I'm in a way the preserver of

meaning, memory, and heritage. Cities are historical records, and architecture after a certain moment is a historical

record,” said Chipperfield.

So, instead of going after newness and fastness, Chipperfield respects each city's history. Built in the mid-1800s,

Berlin's Neues Museum was bombed nearly to pieces during World WarII and left in ruins. In 1997, Chipperfield

rebuilt it by keeping its former remains as part of the new design. Thousands of pieces of scraps( 废料), even bullet

holes, were included in the building, according to Bloomberg.

As the statement of the award explains, Chipperfield's works “embrace the preexisting” while creating “structures

able to last, physically and culturally”.

28. What is Chipperfield's architectural approach?

A. He highlights local qualities. B. He always uses sustainable materials.

C. He adopts high-tech structure. D. He prefers sharp angles and striking lines.

29. What does the section concerning the US Saint Louis Art Museum show about Chipperfield and his works?

A. Each of his works is unique. B. He likes making use of local materials.

C. He focuses on building museums D. He often includes colonnades in his buildings.

30. According to Chipperfield, what is a problem with bad modern architecture?

A. It has no typical style. B. It lacks creativity in design.

C. It is not visually appealing. D. It prefers speed to quality.

31. How did Chipperfield rebuild Berlin's Neues Museum?

A. He restored it as it used to be.

B. He tried to make it look more modern.

C. He created a structure able to last for a long time.

D. He had the former remains built into the design.

People's first memories are all autobiographical (自传式的), or memories of important experiences in their lives, and

these events didn't happen before the age of 2 or 3. In fact, most people can't remember things from the first few years of

their lives—a phenomenon researchers have called infantile amnesia.

However, research suggests that infants can form other kinds of memories. Within the first few days of life, infants can

recall their own mother's face and tell it from the face of a stranger: A few months later, infants can demonstrate that they

remember lots of familiar faces by smiling most at the ones they see most often.

But if so, why do people experience infantile amnesia? Though it still isn't clear whether it's because we can't form

autobiographical memories, or whether we just have no way to regain them, scientists have a few guesses.

One is that autobiographical memories require you to have some sense of self. Researchers have tested this ability

using a mirror recognition task called the rouge test. It involves marking a baby's nose with a spot of red lipstick.

Researchers then place the infant in front of a mirror. Infants younger than 18 months just smile at the baby in the

reflection, not showing any evidence of. recognizing themselves or the red mark on their face. Between 18 and 24 months,

infants touch their own nose, even looking embarrassed, suggesting that they connect the red dot in the mirror with their

own face—they start to form some sense of self.

Another possible explanation is that because infants don't have language until later in the second year of life, they can't

form descriptions about their own lives that they can later recall. Finally, the hippocampus(海马体);which is the region of

the brain that's largely responsible for memory, isn't fully developed in the infancy period.

Scientists will continue to investigate how these factors might contribute to infantile amnesia.
