【题目】 A trip to the theater, museum or art gallery could help you live longer. And the more often you get that culture fix the better, a new study suggests.
Researchers from University College London (UCL) found that people who engaged in the arts more frequently—every few months or more—had a 31% lower risk of dying early when compared to those who didn’t. Even going to the theater or museum once or twice a year was linked with a 14% lower risk.
“While other health behaviors like smoking, alcohol and exercise are undoubtedly bigger predictors of death rate, these leisure and pleasure activities that people don’t think as a health related activity do support good health and longevity.” said Daisy Fancourt, an associate professor at UCL’s Research Department of Behavioural Science and Health.
The study looked at a range of economic, health and social factors to try and explain why there is a link between “arts engagement” and living longer, although as an observational study it can’t establish cause. Part of the reason, the study said, comes down to social and economic differences among those who go and don’t go to museums, exhibitions and art galleries.
Wealth, they found, explained about 9% of the association. Cognitive differences, social and civic engagement, mental health, mobility and deprivation also played a role. Things like free time and occupational status made no material difference.
The study says that engaging with the arts can reduce stress and build creativity that allows people to adapt to changing circumstances. It also helps people build social capital—accessing emotional support and information that helps people age more successfully.
Everyone should have the chance to take part in cultural activities and the study added weight to growing concerns about the decline in arts subjects in schools and universities.
【1】What are the statistics in Paragraph 2 about?
A.Connection with art.
B.Risk of dying early.
C.Chances of healthy living.
D.Frequency of art engagement.
【2】What does Fancourt think of going to the concert?
A.It contributes to living healthier and longer.
B.It can improve peopled cultural awareness.
C.It is a good behavior like smoking or exercise.
D.It offers people opportunities to become artists.
【3】What can we infer from the text?
A.People who have more free time enjoy visiting museums.
B.Social status plays an important role in leading a happy life.
C.Everyone taking part in art related activities can live longer.
D.There should be more arts subjects in schools and universities.
【4】Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A.To find the cause of building creativity.
B.To promote the mental health of the old.
C.To analyze the link between arts and life.
D.To influence the social behavior of people.

【题目】 I thought I was pretty good at teaching myself—until I read Tara Westover’s Educated. Her ability to learn on her own blows my right out of the water. I was thrilled to sit down with her recently to talk about the book.
Tara was raised in a Mormon survivalist home in rural Idaho. Her dad had very non mainstream views about the government. He believed doomsday was coming and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. As a result, she didn’t step foot in a classroom until she was 17, and major medical crises went untreated. (Her mother suffered a brain injury in a car accident and never fully recovered).
Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard from a young age, none of them received any kind of proper homeschooling. She had to teach herself algebra and self-studied for the ACT, which she did well enough on to gain admission to Brigham Young University. Eventually, she earned her doctorate in intellectual history from Cambridge University.
Educated is an amazing story and I get why it’s spent so much time on the top of the New York Times bestseller list. It reminded me in some ways of the Netflix documentary Wild. Wild Country, which I recently watched. Both explore people who remove themselves from society because they have these beliefs and knowledge that they think make them more enlightened. Their belief systems benefit from their separateness, and you’re forced to be either in or out.
But unlike Wild, Wild Country—which revels in the strangeness of its subjects. Tara is never cruel, even when she’s writing about some of her father’s most fringe beliefs. It’s clear that her whole family, including her mom and dad, is energetic and talented. Whatever their ideas are, they pursue them.
Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. It’s the kind of book that I think everyone will enjoy, no matter what genre you usually pick up.
【1】What does the author think of Tara’s self-teaching?
A.unbelievableB.not badC.doubtableD.impossible
【2】Which of the following about Tara’s family is true?
A.There are altogether six children in the family.
B.Tara’s dad often holds mainstream beliefs about the government.
C.They are a Mormon family living in the urban area of Idaho.
D.Tara did not receive formal education until 17.
【3】Why does the author mention Wild, Wild Country in the text?
A.To highlight that Educated is an amazing story worth reading.
B.To analyze the content of it.
C.To show that Educated is one the top of The New York Times bestseller list.
D.To introduce a documentary to the reader.
【4】What genre does Educated belong to?
A.novelB.science fictionC.biographyD.news report

【题目】 Art—no matter whether you choose to create it yourself or simply observe and enjoy it—is a relaxing and inspiring activity for many people. However, the particular benefits of artistic expression go much further.
Studies suggest that art therapy (疗法) can be very valuable in treating issues such as depression and anxiety disorder. It is a great way to express your emotions without words, process complex feelings and find relief.
You don’t necessarily have to see a therapist in order to experience some of the benefits of artistic expression. There are many simple activities you can try from the comfort of your home such as art journaling, drawing, making collections, sculpting with clay, etc. It doesn’t matter what media you choose. The only thing that matters is that you feel comfortable using it. Human beings are naturally creative, and all you need to do to complete an art therapy activity successfully is to be with yourself and your emotions. Once you free your creativity, your inner artist will quickly wake up.
However, working with a licensed therapist also has its advantage because a professional can tailor each activity to your own needs. If the activities are done in a group, they are excellent for building healthy connections with other people, which may be very helpful if you are fighting depression.
Experts agree that art therapy has many benefits, from promoting your self-respect, and providing you a safe outlet to relieve your emotions, to giving you a sense of control over your life and helping you to get to know and understand yourself better. During the process of art creation, you will be taking yourself on a journey of self-discovery that will help you get rid of emotional roadblocks, and learn how to communicate with yourself and others.
【1】What is art therapy used for?
A.Learning drawing skills.
B.Expressing art with words.
C.Preventing physical diseases.
D.Improving mental health.
【2】To finish a successful art therapy, you’d better ________.
A.have a gift for art
B.have a strong will
C.be honest with yourself
D.hold back your emotions
【3】Why are group activities needed when dealing with depression?
A.To set an example.
B.to promote communication.
C.To build up friendships.
D.To wake up the inner artist.
【4】What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A.Explain the advantages of art therapy.
B.Give some details about art creation.
C.Provide some advice for readers.
D.Summarize the previous paragraphs.
