2．A new study，published this week in the journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science，reveals that non-human animals' tears are not so different from our own.The chemical similarities are so great，in fact，that the composition of other species' tears-and how they're adapted to their environments-may provide insights into better treatments for human eye disease.
Previously，scientists had studied closely only the tears of a handful of mammals，including humans，dogs，horses，camels，and monkeys.In the new study，Brazilian veterinarians analyzed the tears of reptiles and birds for the first time ，focusing on seven species.
Tears，which are released from tear tubes，form a film over the eye that's composed of three ingredients：mucus，water，and oil.The mucus coats the eyes surface and helps to attach the film to the eye，the water is a natural salty solution containing crucial proteins and minerals，and the oil prevents the eye from drying out.
Humans are the only known species to produce emotional tears；the expression "crocodile tears，" which refers to a person's phony display of emotion，comes from the mysterious tendency of crocodiles to release tears as they eat.
But tears play key roles beyond weeping，notes Lionel Sebbag at Iowa State University，who was not involved in the new research.They help with vision by lubricating（润滑）and clearing the eye.They also protect the eye against infection and provide nutrition to the cornea （角膜），the eye's clear outer layer，which lacks blood tubes，he says.
Learning how reptiles and birds' use tears may also inspire new medications for conditions such as dry eye，which occurs when tear tubes don't produce enough oil.The disease，common in cats，dogs，and people，can sometimes lead to blindness.
（1）What is paragraph 3 mainly about？
A．The source of tears.
B．The composition of tears.
C．The classification of tears.
D．The definition of tears.
（2）What does the underlined word "phony" in paragraph 4 mean？
A．Tricky.
B．Regretful.
C．Cold.
D．False.
（3）Which statement does Lionel Sebbag agree with？
A．Weeping contributes to eye disease.
B．The cornea has rich blood tubes.
C．Tears oil and clear the eyes.
D．More tears mean better vision.
（4）What might be the best title for the text？
A．Tears，a barrier to eyes
B．A better treatment for eye disease
C．Non-human tears promise new cures
D．Other species' tears are similar to humans'组卷：9引用：1难度：0.5 -
3．The Pomodoro technique is probably one of the most powerful techniques in all of learning.All you have to do is set a timer for 25 minutes，and then just focus as attentively as you can for those 25 minutes.
Now if you start focusing on and you're working on，and then you look up at the timer and two minutes have passed.You may feel like you can't hold on.And just let the thought go by，and return your focus to whatever you are working on.And when that 25 minutes is up you relax a little bit.You might wonder why that 25 minutes is the magic number，and the reality is we don't really know.There's not a lot of research on the Pomodoro technique，which is surprising because it's so incredibly popular and people find it very useful.
But there's an interesting tidbit（小趣闻）related to the Pomodoro technique，and that is that：when you just think about something that you don't like very much，it stimulates a part of the brain that experiences pain.And so the brain naturally enough shifts its attention to something else，like Facebook or Twitter or something like that.
And what the Pomodoro technique does，when you do it you're setting that timer.You don't want to sit there and think ， "I'm going to work on this problem and get it all finished.You just want to think，I've got 25 minutes where I just have to work on something." Don't even think about what that something is.What that does is it slips in under your brain's radar（雷达）.It doesn't stimulate so much that pain in your brain；and then that pain in the brain，research has shown，lasts for 20 minutes.
So if you work for 25 minutes you will suddenly find yourself getting into the flow because you've gone past that painful period.So the Pomodoro technique is effective in many different aspects.
（1）Which is an example of using the Pomodoro technique？
A．Reading a novel for 25 minutes.
B．Spending 25 minutes scanning WeChat.
C．Setting a timer for 25 minutes to do a tough task.
D．Attending a lecture for 25 minutes with two minds.
（2）What can be inferred about the Pomodoro technique from paragraph 2？
A．The first two minutes is vital.
B．25 minutes is a magic number.
C．More research is around the corner.
D．You may get discouraged when using it.
（3）Why is the tidbit mentioned in paragraph 3？
A．To further explain the Pomodoro technique.
B．To arouse interest in the Pomodoro technique.
C．To highlight how to use the Pomodoro technique.
D．To prove the effectiveness of the Pomodoro technique.
（4）How does the Pomodoro technique work？
A．It boosts your concentration.
B．It helps your mind go faster.
C．It urges you to finish your work.
D．It shortens the pain time in your brain.组卷：7引用：1难度：0.7

Our friendship runs back to our college days when I first met Rishi.We had our own share of first impression about each other.Mine was-she's a lovely，charming and full of life personality.Hers was-I look like an arrogant（傲慢的）personality.I don't blame her for this.Many of my close friends had the same view when they first met me.Blame it on my bitch face （臭脸） and me being a shy person to some extent.
We became really close within a short period of time.Ours was group of four people divided into 2 each during our final year when we both chose advertising as our specialization and the other two journalism.Back then，I was a regular user of BBM messenger and hardly used Whatsapp.
On one specific occasion，we had really bad argument about a failed project.The usual blame game was on.We decided to put it past us and focus on our studies.During this time，she once handed me her phone to show me a picture.While I was going through that，I came across a message from a particular Whatsapp group that comprises of her and my other two friends.I asked her permission to view the group.She had a blank expression on her face.But she allowed me to go ahead.
I was in shock while going through their messages.Not really positive things were said about me in particular.It shook me.Because these were the people.I considered my friends.I broke down in front of her.She apologised.But I felt cheated on.I told her about my decision of not wanting to continue this friendship further.We both missed each other.But neither of us wanted to give the last try.
