22、A first look may make you think it is a seesaw. But people of the Yi ethnic group will tell you it’s completely different and it can be used for a competitive sport.

“Damoqiu is a traditional sport and celebration during festivals,” said Li Jingming, an inheritor of damoqiu. “I started playing at the age of 5 years old.”

Li said that the seesaw-like equipment for damoqiu is made up of two poles. One stands up on the ground with a height of 1.5 meters and the other 5-meter pole with a small hole in the middle lies horizontally on it, connecting with it through the small hole. When playing, one or two performers sit or crawl on each side of the horizontal pole. They need to use their strength from their belly or legs to keep balance on the pole while doing different postures. Due to its complexity, damoqiu was listed in 2016 as an intangible cultural heritage in Longlin county, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

“Many people simply play damoqiu for fun,” said 61-year -old Li. “Yet, taking it as a professional sport is more a game of bravery.”

According to Li, since the horizontal pole only hangs on the standing pole, it’s always spinning, making it hard for performers to keep balance. “If you’re lacking in strength, it’s easy to tilt and you may even slip down from the pole. Sometimes, it’s even dangerous,” added Li.

Damoqiu as a professional sport also requires great effort and patience.

Li recalled that training for a new posture sometimes requires several days. “Repetition is part of our daily routine. Though it’s dull, it requires our effort to keep the tradition alive.” Li said.

As more and more young people leave villages to earn money in the big cities, they have less time to train on the pole and develop new postures. “It’s a pity that damoqiu is disappearing from the competitive stage now.” said Li, adding that he has only had five disciples in training for many years.

To make damoqiu accessible to more people, Li not only teaches it in schools voluntarily, but also performs in many competitions to show the sport’s charm to audiences.

【1】What do we know about damoqiu?

【2】What does Li think is important for playing damogiu as a professional sport?

A．Passion and good athletic ability.

B．Great effort, patience and strength.

C．Patience, creativity and energy.

D．Strength and relevant previous experience.

【3】What is paragraph 8 mainly about?

A．Young people’s views on damoqiu.

B．The reasons why young people have less time to train.

C．The current development of damoqiu.

D．The difficulties of passing down damoqiu

【4】How does Li promote damoqiu?

23、Who is to blame for the shapes of our noses?

If you are not satisfied with the shape of your nose, blame it on climate, not your parents or grandparents. In a study published this week in the journal PLOS Genetics, researchers from the Pennsylvania State University found that human noses may have been shaped, in part, by a long process of adaptation to local climate conditions. 【1】.

The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses on people with West African, South Asian, East Asian, or Northern European ancestry. It showed that the width of the nostrils is strongly related to temperature and absolute humidity (绝对湿度), but not the result of genetic drift (遗传漂变).

One purpose of the nose is to condition the air we breathe, to ensure that it is warm and moist when it reaches the lungs, which helps to prevent infections. 【2】which was probably more essential to have this trait in cold and dry climates, it said.

People with narrower nostrils probably had better and had more offspring than people with wider nostrils, in colder climates.【3】. The nose has had a complex evolutionary history, however, and researchers suspected that additional factors, such as cultural preferences when picking a mate, have also pl played a role in shaping the nose. 【4】. Studies of human adaptation are essential to our understanding of disease and yield insights into why certain conditions, such as skin cancer, are more common in certain populations.

The researchers said that it may be worth investigating whether the shape of the nose impacts ones risk of contracting breathing diseases when living in a climate that is different from one's ancestors.

A．This leads to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator (赤道)

B．Wider nostrils (鼻孔) seem to warm and humidify the inside of nose better to protect us from being infected

C．Narrower nostrils seem to alter the airflow so that noses can humidify and warm the air more efficiently

D．Generally, wider noses are more common in warm and humid climates, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climate

E．This can clearly explain why our ancestors aren’t to blame for the nose shapes and sizes

F．Investigations into nose shape evolution and climate adaptation may have medical implications as well

24、My phone is showing that little red low-battery bar, so I need to plug it in immediately or else lose my connection. What if I didn’t recharge — no, that would stress me out. 【1】

The 2022 American Psychological Association annual survey on stress showed a similar flashing red alert: More than a quarter of US adults are feeling overwhelmed by stress — paralyzed, even numb. 【2】 No wonder we are commonly fatigued (疲惫的).

A study suggests that when people are under chronic stress for years, our mitochondrial enzymes (线粒体酶) weaken and our cells become prematurely aged. 【3】 Here are a few ways to create that positivity and tame the beast of chronic stress.

【4】 We can shape our environments to protect us from constant red alerts. Our attention is attracted to threatening information, as our screens so frequently deliver. To protect your precious attention and energy stores, turn off unnecessary alerts on your devices. Create spacious breaks within the day to unplug and focus on something restorative. Shift your attention to being present, to what you can feel grateful for and to connection with others. 

Immerse yourself in green. Being in crowded and busy places sends our bodies signals of danger. 【5】 Thus we can recharge our batteries with green space time — seek a park or gardens for sensory immersion that signals safety to our bodies.

The bottom line is that we can break our daily stress habits and create more energy. We can feel ease and balance by letting go of unconscious stress. Life is short. It’s even shorter while living on half a battery.

A．Redirect attention from threats to sources of joy.

B．Relieve yourself from tough work.

C．Stress uses a tremendous amount of energy.

D．Shift your environment according to your preference.

E．Nature facilitates the opposite, calming our minds.

F．But what if, besides recharging my phone, I took a few minutes to recharge myself?

G．The good news is, when we feel positive emotions daily, our mitochondria speed up instead, producing lots of energy.
