• 2．Carol Heffernan，a 43-year-old woman from Oshkosh，regularly felt worn out from working，sending her two kids to school and playdates，and taking care of housework.But after the COVID-19 hit in March 2020，the kids were suddenly at home all day and learning remotely，her common weariness quickly turned into full-on exhaustion.
     "It just added up all the extra responsibility and the mental load，" she says. "I felt bad-tempered and tired，and it wasn't due to lack of sleep." If there's one thing many of us have in common，it's that we're tired.Doctors even have a name for it： "tired all the time"，or TATT for short.The solution isn't always as simple as getting more sleep.Nearly a quarter of people who get seven or more hours of rest a night report that they still wake up feeling tired most days.
     A few weeks after her tiredness set in，Heffernan decided to drop everything and go for a walk，which she hadn't done since the pandemic began. "I just want to be myself，" she says， "I need a break." When she returned，she felt recharged and decided to make a habit of it.
     Doing something active when you're feeling sluggish will actually increase your energy，not consuming the little energy that you have.In fact，researchers at Georgia University found that just ten minutes of low or moderate intensity exercise gave study participants a noticeable energy boost.Exercise also works its magic at the cellular level.The mitochondria，the parts of cells that provide energy to muscles，can grow more powerful and numerous after aerobic exercise，providing a continuous source of increasing energy to help you work hard.
     Now，Heffernan goes for a daily 45-minute stroll. "The walks feed me spiritually，emotionally and physically，" she says. "I have something to look forward to every afternoon.I'm in a better mood and I'm also energetic.Of course，getting more exercise isn't the only defense against TATT syndrome.
  
  （1）What was wrong with Heffernan after the COVID-19 hit？

  
  A．She lacked enough sleep.
  B．She felt tired all the time.
  C．She always woke up at night.
  D．She suffered from COVID-19.
  （2）What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Heffernan？

  
  A．Her hobby and habit.
  B．Her regret and sadness.
  C．Her tiredness and helplessness.
  D．Her determination and action.
  （3）What does the underlined word "sluggish" in paragraph 4 probably mean？

  
  A．Lazy.
  B．Warm.
  C．Refreshed.
  D．Energetic.
  （4）How does Heffernan feel about her life now？

• 3．"How many of us as children have stared up at a church-like top of a giant tree and climbed it in wonder，which is a really special part of our lives？" asks Bill Laurance，a tropical ecologist at James Cook University. "The leaves of big trees in forests are spreading out in all directions.We're faced with organisms that have evolved for long periods of ecological stability. "
     "There's a lot to discuss on the issue，" says David Lindenmayer，a conservation ecologist at the Australian National University. "Climate change will mean that，in some forests，big trees won't reach the same sizes they used to." The effects of climate change，including long droughts，more invasive species and so on increase the simple physical challenges that big trees face in pulling water from their roots to their leaves and withstanding windstorms.
     Lindenmayer and Laurance define "large，old trees" as the largest five percent mature trees within a species.The flexible definition means that in some forests，the large，old trees might be only 20 meters tall and 100 years old.
     These large，old trees control the surrounding plant communities，affect water and nutrient distribution，and provide food and shelter for wildlife. "They're really the breadbaskets of the forest，" says Laurance， "This is a very environmentally and ecologically important group of organisms，and they need special care and handling.Determining the distribution and habitat requirements for large，old trees in the landscape is the first step towards ensuring their survival. "We have to ensure that what we're thinking is long-term，to match the way these trees have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years，" says Laurance. "It's going to be a real challenge to keep some places where there is still wildlife and the big church-like trees that we all really care about. "
  
  （1）How does the author lead in the topic of the text？

  
  A．By definition.
  B．By quoting someone's words.
  C．By comparison.
  D．By drawing some conclusions.
  （2）What can we learn about big trees from paragraph 2？

  
  A．They easily pull water from their roots.
  B．They have become shorter but thicker.
  C．They are affected by various factors.
  D．They grow taller because of climate change.
  （3）Which of the following does Laurance want to express in the last paragraph？

  
  A．It is necessary to take good care of big trees.
  B．The plants around control trees' survival.
  C．Big trees mainly depend on wildlife for survival.
  D．Planting big trees is the first step in forest protection.
  （4）What can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Fight Against Climate Change
  B．Keep Ecological Stability
  C．Deal With Forest Organisms
  D．Protect Forest Giants
