22、elieved to be the oldest working nurse in the country, has retired from a Tacoma, Washington, hospital.-Last week, Florence Rigney, better known to her friends as SeeSee”，retired as a nurse at MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital after over 70 years. Throughout her careerwhich began as a student nurse,
23、 Rigney worked consistently, only taking a break from nursing to raise her two children.Working as a nurse has kept Rigney very active. Shes traveled across the country as an operating nurse and even logged up to three miles on her treadmill from walking during her shifts. I don*t like to sit around
24、-Ive always got to have something to do. Thats my nature,n Rigney said in a statement, adding that she always wanted to become a nurse. I love to interact with patients and give them the help that I can.”Rigney planned on retiring once at age 65, but after six months, she decided that she needed the
25、 job to stay active and keep her mind sharp. Now as she officially retired, the hospital noted that Rigney planned on spending most of her time enjoying family and friends. Even working into her nineties, she has never been one to slow down. Some of her colleagues joked that they had to sprint to ke
26、ep up with her, said Laureen Driscoll, president of the hospitals. SeeSees continued to be a dedicated nurse and an incredible resource to her colleagues and community. Its humbling to stop and think about the thousands and thousands of lives shes cared for. Everyone at MultiCare thanks Rigney for h
27、er unmatched dedication and service, and were proud to honor her by supporting tomorrows future nurses, she continued.As she said goodbye to her beloved job, Rigney offered some advice for other nurses. Dont ever think that you know it all, she noted in the release. I kind of did that when I was in
28、the operating room and you have to always be open. You never stop learning.MIn her honor, the hospital announced the creation of its SeeSee Rigney Nursing EndowedScholarship Fund, which will provide scholarships for MultiCare employees for continued learning and development in nursing.24.

What was Rigneys suggestion for younger nurses?A. Remain confident.B. Care for each other.C. Keep active and patient.D
30、. Stay hungry for knowledge.26. According to the passage, Rigney is respected mainly due to her .A. old age and good healthB. quick mind and great creativityC. positive attitude and hard workD. high position and good resourceCDo you listen to quiet music to help you wind down before sleep? However,
31、this practice could be counter-productive, according to a new study by Michael K. Scullin and colleagues at Baylor University. The work, published in Psychological Medicine, found that bedtime music was associated with more sleep disruptions and that instrumental music is even worse than music with
32、lyrics.In the first study, 199 online participants living in the US reported on their sleep quality and music listening frequency and timing, as well as their beliefs about how this affected their sleep. Almost all 87%believed that music improves sleep, or at least does not disrupt it. However, the
33、team found that more overall time spent listening to music was associated with poorer sleep and daytime sleepiness. Just over three quarters of the participants also reported experiencing frequent “earwormshaving a song or tune “stuck and replaying in their minds. A quarter reported experiencing the
34、se during the night at least once per week, and these people were six times as likely to report poor sleep quality. The teams analysis suggested that listening specifically to instrumental music near bedtime was linked to more sleep-related earworms and poorer sleep quality.The team then ran an expe
35、rimental study on 48 young adults. After arriving at the sleep lab at 8:45 p.m., participants went to a quiet bedroom, where they completed questionnaires that included measures of stress, sleep quality and daytime sleepiness. They also had electrodes applied, ready for the night-time polysomnograph
36、y to record their brain wave activity, as well as heart rate and breathing, and reported on how relaxed, nervous, energetic, sleepy and stressed they felt. At 10:00 p.m., they were given some downtime, with quiet music playing. Half were randomised to hear three songs while the other half heard inst
37、rumental-only versions of these same songs.Participants reported decreases in stress and nervousness and increased relaxation after listening to either set of songs, and also showed decreases in blood pressure. Soas earlier studies have also suggestedquiet music at bedtime was indeed relaxing at the
38、 time. However, a quarter of the participants woke from sleep with an earworm, and the polysomnography data showed that instrumental versions of the songs were more likely to induce these awakenings as well as other sleep disruptions, such as shifts from deeper sleep to lighter sleep. Taken together
39、, the findings represent causal evidence for bedtime instrumental music affecting sleep quality via triggering earworms, the team writes.Why instrumental-only songs should have a bigger impact than music with lyrics isn*t clear. The three songs used in this study were chosen because they were likely
40、 to be familiar. Hearing them without the lyrics might have prompted the participants brains to try to add the words, which might have made earworms more likely. If this is the case, all instrumental music may not have the same effect However, the data from the first study is consistent with the ide
41、a that instrumental music generally is more o a problem.27. According to the passage, the participants in both studies .A. were required to listen to light musicB. felt their sleeping problems resolvedC. had their sleeping quality monitoredD. provided feedback on bedtime music28. What does the under
42、lined word induce in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Lead to.B. Impact on.C. Break in.D. Focus on.29. What can we learn from the passage?A. Earworms are mainly caused by music with lyrics.B. Bedtime music leads to high blood pressure and anxiety.C. Quiet music improves sleeping quality while loud music
43、 harms sleep.D. Both familiar and unfamiliar instrumental music can cause sleeping problems.30. The passage is mainly about .A. how instrumental music disturbs sleepB the possible negative effect of bedtime musicC. how people can improve their sleep qualityD differences between music with and withou

46、n and do change their minds, although it requires someone to put in the time to overcome distrust.To be sure, many experts have launched themselves against misinformation, enduring abuse on social media and even threats to their safety. But when scientists turn down my invitations, it*s not because
47、of fear. Most often, their excuses are grounded in the backfire effecta questionable 2010 finding that people sometimes embrace misconceptions more strongly when faced with corrective information, implying that pushing back against falsehoods is counter-productive. Even the researchers whose results
48、 were exaggerated to popularize this idea do not embrace it anymore, and argue that the true challenge is learning how best to target corrective information.In fact, evidence is growing that rebuttals can be effective. Science deniers all draw on the same flawed reasoning techniques: cherry-picking
49、evidence, relying on fake experts, and engaging in illogical reasoning. A landmark 2019 study showed that critiquing the flawed techniques can contain the spread of misinformation.So how does *technique rebuttal work in practice?Arnaud Gagneur and his colleagues at the University of Sherbrooke condu

Those parentschildren were 9% more likely to receive all the vaccines on the schedule than were those of uninterviewed parents whose babies were delivered in the
51、same maternity ward. One mother told him: Its the first time that Ive had a discussion like this, and I feel respected, and I trust you.，, It is self-evident in science communication that you cannot convince a science denier with fcts alone; most science deniers dont have a lack of information, but
52、a lack of trust.So what should scientists do? Even non-experts can use technique rebuttal. A geologist can engage a neighbor who is vaccine hesitant. A protein biologist can coach an aunt or uncle who wants more evidencen that climate change is real. Instead of shifting to more comfortable conversat
53、ions, engage in respectful exchange. If you spend more time asking questions than offering explanations, people will be more likely to pay attention to the explanations that you do offer.31.

Weird, right? 36 It seems natural to associate the names of large animals, for example, with low-pitched sounds: say, elephant, compared with mouse.

Kate is expected to be extroverted, less conscientious, less hardworking and less agreeable.Luckily, surveys suggest that the link exists only in the mind of the person making it. 38 You could construct a little bit of an
62、unlikely situation where people start to look like their names over time and maybe peoples personalities start to match their names through some sort of congruency （致性）. But we didnt find that.

English language has developed a rule of names reflecting peoples good qualities.D. It would overwhelm our senses if every word we spoke came with a deeper me
