18、to design，” Luna said. She is one of six patients from Boston Childrens Hospital(BCH) who have partnered with Saucony to design their own shoe to launch the Shoes with Soul campaign.“Rather than just a donation, we wanted to create an experience and a moment that would not only raise money, but also

25、 As their newest game releases, Assassins Creed Origins, they have also released their Discovery Tours. These tours give players a chance to walk the streets of ancient Egypt, explore Alexandria and the pyramids, and learn about wildlife and geography. For students, experiencing the ancient world in
26、 this_interactive_way can be more interesting and effective than just reading a textbook or watching a documentary about what they are studying.Assassins Creed is not the only game series that can be educational either. What is important about the role of historical games is the level of choice. Whe
27、n watching a film, students are passive receivers of content. However, when playing a game students have an active role to play in history. A focus on choice and consequence is an important element of teaching and understanding history, so historical games can be a valuable teaching tool even if the
28、y arent completely historically accurate. They have the power to immerse students in far away worlds and allow them to think critically about cause and consequence, think about why historical events unfolded the way they did, and even think about possible alternative outcomes.

33、thod.C. A detailed explanation of a social problem.D. An online advertisement of a stylish trend.DThe idea that having narrow local focus leaves little room for anything but a selfish mindset is a misconception, according to a new study that found that concern for local affairs could help with globa
34、l environmental conservation.You might have heard of NIMBY which means “not in my back yard” and describes an individual or group opposed to a new addition to the neighborhood, typically a factory, roadway or power station. Nimbyism and parochialism(眼界狭小), which is a focus on a local area, can go ha
35、nd in hand, and there are concerns that parochialism paves the way for prejudice, narrowmindedness, and selfishness.But researchers found the exact opposite to be true in a new study published. The researchers argue that positive parochialism can inspire a larger awareness of global environmental pr
36、oblems and encourage people to action.“We did not find evidence that parochialism was necessarily negative and inwardlooking，” said Patrick, a researcher for the study. “It can be those things, but theres no necessary conflict between feeling connected to your local area and feeling connected to the
37、 wider world.”For the study, the researchers reviewed documents from the 1987 Parish Maps project. The researchers showed how the Parish Maps project also demonstrated a passion for the environment and conservation. The researchers say that the Parish Maps project is a strong example of “positive pa
38、rochialism”， and shows that thinking locally can influence a global mindset.“For a long time, it has been generally agreed that if we want people to think about global affairs they need an international worldviewbut this may not be the case，” said Patrick. “ Given where we are now in terms of trying
39、 to encourage people to make changes to help the environment, positive parochialism offers something that has been overlooked. ”()32. Which behavior can best illustrate NIMBY?A. Criticizing a friend for his selfish action.B. Accepting a proposal beneficial to locals.C. Supporting a neighborhood cons
40、truction plan.D. Objecting to building an airport in the neighborhood.()33. Why does the author mention the Parish Maps project?A. To explain how to protect the environment.B. To offer an example of positive parochialism.C. To encourage people to take part in the project.D. To stress the importance
41、of global mindset.()34. How does Patrick feel about “positive parochialism” phenomenon?A. Appreciative. B. Cautious. C. Negative. D. Puzzled.()35. What may be the best title for the text?A.

When I was a small girl, I noticed that though many of the adults around me were wealthy and educated, they were not happy and this sometimes led them to behave in strange ways. As a result
86、of this, I wanted to understand what happiness was and how to achieve it. It was surprising, then, that I decided to study psychology.When I was at university, I tried to discover what made people happy. I started out by studying creative people such as musicians, artists and actors because they wer
87、e people who devoted their lives to doing what they wanted to do, rather than things that brought them money. Later I expanded the study by inventing a system called the “experience examining method”. Ordinary people were asked to keep an electronic machine for a week which gave out a sound eight ti
88、mes a day. Every time it did so, they wrote down where they were, what they were doing, how they felt and how much they were concentrating. The answers are in agreement with my previous study: as with creative people, ordinary people are happiest when concentrating hard.I found that the most obvious cause of happiness is concentration. I have spent my life in studying happiness and now, as I look back, I wonder if I have achieved it. Overall, I think I have, and my belief that I have found the key to its secret has increased my happiness greatly.
