Whenever travelers planning t Hawaii are surveyed, their first questin is ften the same: “Hw’s the weather in Hawaii?” Mst f the time, the answer is pretty easy. After all, Hawaii experiences nly tw seasns: summer, called “kau”, and winter, called “hil”.

As 35-year-ld Rajesh walked ut f the HR head's ffice, he culdn't help crying and his mind went empty. Suddenly, a regular day at wrk had turned int his last day in the ffice. Having cleared his desk f his things and small bjects he had used t beautify his wrkspace, he pulled himself with difficulty t the nearby café and called his wife, Nina.
Peple like Rajesh are being “let g” fr a variety f reasns: pr perfrmance, persnal issues and s n. Mst peple, even thugh they are aware f the realities, g thrugh a mix f emtins: shck, refusal, self-blame(自责), anger, ften leading t unhappiness.
The mst imprtant thing is nt t think f yurself as a victim(受害者). First, cnsider self-care. Then, develp a plan t keep yurself busy. Meanwhile, yu can update yur resume(简历) n the website and make a list f friends and relatives wh culd help yu find a new jb.
At first, Rajesh was bviusly very upset and spent a number f days staying in bed. Seeing this, Nina tk time ff frm wrk and even tk him t the adviser, frm wh m he learned that he had becme t satisfied with his jb and was refusing the reality arund him. He had never thught f cnsidering his wn prfessinal develpment. This insight helped him refcus his energy: frm playing the blame game t getting new skills and being ready fr a better jb.
Rajesh and Nina then decided t mve frm Mumbai t Bengaluru, where his IT skills were mre ppular. S a newly fcused Rajesh first gt himself a jb. The silver lining was that the cst f living in Bengaluru was lwer and they culd even achieve their dream f having an apartment.

The last time my husband and I went ut fr a dinner in a restaurant, the server came and recited(背诵) a lng list f specials and detailed descriptins f hw the fd was made. As she spke, I became almst mre interested in hw she culd remember all thse descriptins than thinking abut the fd. Meanwhile, I culdn't remember where I'd put my keys befre we left fr the restaurant.
Objectively(客观地) speaking, nt remembering where yu put yur key s is generally nt a sign f dementia(痴呆). And n the ther side, being able t remember a lng list f restaurant special s isn't necessarily a sign f surprising mental ability, either.
While mst f us are afraid abut develping dementia, fewer than 10% f adults age 65 and lder will end up with dementia such as Alzheimer's. “Fr them, develping a cnditin like Alzheimer’s is a part f nrmal aging,” says Jel Salinas MD, an expert at NYU Langne Health. And, he adds, “There are areas that actually imprve with age, like vcabulary and wisdm.”
“Memry is all these different brain netwrks wrking in cncert with each ther,” says Dr. Salinas. While genetics and family histry play sme rle in the risk f memry prblems, s d plenty f ther reasns. Fr example, sme medicine and alchl can cause memry prblems, especially fr lder peple.
The brain might be the place that memry is stred, but it desn't exist in the air. The health and efficiency f the brain depend a lt n the general health f the bdy. In shrt, what’s gd fr the bdy is gd fr the brain. Many f the lifestyle factrs that can imprve memry are the same that have a psitive effect n general health, such as, exercising prperly, having a balanced diet, and sleeping well.
28. Why des the authr mentin her experience in paragraph 1?
A. T intrduce the tpic f the text.
B. T shw her interest in the specials.
C. T invite mre custmers t the restaurant.
D. T express her regret abut lsing her keys.
29. What is Salinas’ attitude twards aging?
A. Wrried. B. Objective. C. Supprtive. D. Dubtful.
30. What can imprve ur memry accrding t the text?
A. Reciting details. B. Wrking with thers.
C. Exercising prperly. D. Sleeping a lt.
31. This text may prbably be seen in .
A. a research plan B. a health magazine
C. a business magazine D. a bk review

Getting rid f(丢弃) ld tyres (轮胎) has lng been a prblem. Every year many tyres are thrwn. Sme f the ways might be better than getting rid f them, but they are nt especially green.
Energy recvery(回收利用) is ne cmmn way. This includes burning tyres t prduce electricity, r as a way t prvide heat fr ther industrial prcesses. But that prduces planet-warming pllutin. Tyres can be whle r brken in cnstructin prjects, such as repairing rads. There are, hwever, wrries abut chemicals frm the tyres cming ut and plluting the grund.
S sme cmpanies have begun explring anther pleasing ideas. Since tyres are mstly made frm hydrcarbns(碳氢化合物), it shuld be pssible in principle t turn ld tyres int envirnmentally friendly materials which can be used t run sme cars they came frm. One f the mst thughtful cmpanies is based in Osl, Nrway. Later this year the cmpany will start building a huge tyre-reused factry in Sunderland in nrtheastern England. In a cuple f years, when the factry is fully peratinal, it will be able t turn 8 millin ld tyres int new prducts.
The prcess wrks by dividing a tyre int its three main parts. One is steel, which is used t supprt the structure f a tyre and which can be easily reused. The secnd is pwder used t imprve the cntinuus use f the tyre. The third is rubber. Sme f that will be natural rubber frm the rubber trees. The carbn black can be reused t make new tyres. That is f interest t tyre makers because it helps effrts t becme carbn neutral(碳中和).
32. What is the disadvantage f energy recvery f tyres mentined in the text?
A. It is unpractical. B. It prduces pllutin.
C. It csts a lt. D. It prduces less electricity.
33. Hw is paragraph 3 rganized? B. By making questins.
A. By giving an example.
C. By fllwing time rder. D. By cmparing differences.
34. Which f the fllwing best describes the huge tyre-reused factry?
A. Cstly. B. Useful. C. Dangerus. D. Shrt-lived.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Tyres can be divided int three parts
B. A cmpany built a tyre-reused factry
C. Energy recvery can deal with ld tyres
D. Old tyres can becme envirnmentally friendly materials

Imagine a wrld withut glasses—many f us wuld walk arund running int 58 (thing). S wh invented glasses, and hw were they first made?
The truth is that nbdy knws wh invented eyeglasses. At sme pint in Italy between1268 and 1289, smene came up with the idea, 59 the actual inventr remains unknwn. What we d knw is that the earliest lenses(镜片) 60 (make) frm quartz(石英) and were usually set int bne, metal r leather.
Althugh glasses spread quickly thrughut Eurpe and Asia, there was ne 61 (imprtance) prblem: keeping them n the wearer's face. Early glasses acted 62 bit like pinchers(钳子), squeezed nt the bridge f the nse. 63 tk nearly 400 years befre the peple wh made eyeglasses figured ut that firm sidepieces resting n tp f the ears might d the trick.
It's necessary t mentin Benjamin Franklin, 64 invented bifcals(双光眼镜) in the1780s.
