　　Researchers have suggested that such links could arisefrom various things.These include nutrient intake,sunexposure,climate,and disease exposure varying across thecourse of the year.However,evidence has been mixed.More recent studies have suggested thatfactors such associal class oreconomicbackground have more to do withthese diagnoses thanmonth of birth.

　　Overall,the new study found no significant relationshipbetween participants month of birth and symptoms ofdepression or anxiety.There was some variability in somecountries.In Poland,depressive symptoms fluctuated alittle depending on birth month.In the Czech Republic,thesame was true of anxiety symptoms.But on the whole,there was no systematic pattern.

　　If the clone continues to perform as well as expected,itcould mean a huge reduction in thetraining time forpolice dogs,which usually takes about fiveyears.Theultimate goal of scientists is to produce clones oftalented police dogs that can be trained in monthsinstead of years.However,this goal is not yet possibledue to thecurrent costs ofthe technology.

　　W:Tom,did you see the article online about the new TV seriesbased on the book The Three Body Problem?

　　M:A colleague mentioned the book,but I've been so busywritingmythesis that I haven't been able to read for pleasure in months.W:Well,soundslike if you're going to read anything for fun,this isthe book.It's written by a Chinese science fiction writer.I can'tremember his name,but he's written three books in all,and TheThree Body Problem is the first inthe series.I don't wantto say toomuch and spoil it for you,but it's definitely got some amazingtechnological and sociological concepts in it.

　　M:It does soundlike itwould suit my taste,but if they are makingaTV series based on it now,I don't know ifI should read the book orwatch the show first.

　　W:I think it's better to read the book first.It's rare for the show ormovie to be better than the book.And then,you just end upruining the book for yourself,ifthe show isn'tvery good.

　　M:When is the show supposed to start?I'm a bit overwhelmed withthe amount of data I still need to collect to finish my thesis.But Istill need to relax sometimes.

　　W:I can't remember exactly.It's pretty soon,and it's going to bequite long.There are 24 episodes.Well,maybe you coulddownload an electronic copyof the book and try to read it beforethe show starts

　　M:That's a good idea.And then,maybe we can watch the seriestogether.Thanks forthe tip,Alice.No problem.

　　M:That's exactly the type of thing we are looking for.We'regetting close to the deadline,however.Do you prefer to fillout an application on the web,or to print it out and fill it in byhand and then post it back to us?Remember that you willhave to have all your certificates to hand when you are fillingout the forms,as the standards are high and they will becarefully checked before anyone will be able to sell theirproduce at the event.

　　W:I should be fine with doing it on your website,and I alreadyhave all my certificates,as we run a small farm shop too.Butcan you give me yourdetails anyway?

　　Passage 1

　　Supporters call it wild camping.Opponents call itillegal camping.What both sides accept is that there has been a boom in the pastfew months,with increasing numbers of visitors pitching theirtents on any bit of land theyfancy in the UK.In part,this reflectsthe factthat official campsites have been wholly or partiallyclosed,or are overflowing,in a summer when fewer people aregoing abroad.

　　It is also cheap,at a time when many are worried about whattheeconomic future holds.Butit may alsobe an expression ofadesire forgoingoutdoors.Aresponse to themonths of lockdown.Most of the coverage ofthe boom in wild campinghas beennegative.Camping in public parks has now been banned forAugust and the early part of September because campers dumplitter,human waste,and even their tents on the grassland.

　　Similar action has been taken even in Scotland,wherecamping isusually permitted on most of its open land.Clearly,there have tobe rules.It would make sensethatwild campers need to ask forpermission to camp from landowners,especially outside Scotland,wherethe law is far more restrictive.It would be common senseforpeople to use small tentsand leave no trace of their visit.

　　They have been attracted by a patch ofland that is close towilderness,and itis their responsibility to keep it that way.

　　Q16:Why has wild camping become popular in the UK?

　　Q17:Why is campingbanned for partof the summer in publicparks?

　　Q18:What does the speaker suggestcampers do?

　　Passage 2

　　Imagine boating down the Amazon River,minding your ownbusiness,calmly keepingan eye outfor alarmingly large snakes,and a curious pink dolphin appears to swim alongside.While thismay seem like a mythical creature,pink dolphinsdo exist in theAmazon region.The Amazon River Dolphin is a giant among itsspecies.

　　It can measure up to2 meters long and weigharound 204kilograms.Size isn't the only thing that setsthe Amazon RiverDolphin apart.Thriving in South American rivers and temporarylakes caused byseasonal flooding,this freshwater dolphin issometimes shockingly pink.Although born gray,males of thespecies are easilyidentified as they enter adulthood bya decisivepinkshade.

　　Their unusual coloringis believed to be the result ofscar tissuefromdolphin fights,whetherplay fighting or a seriousbid for amate.The deeper the pink,the more attractivethe males arebelieved to be,and the older the male,the more pink he will have.There's also a theory that this color helps thedolphins more readilyblend in withtheir surroundings.

　　During heavy rains,rivers along the Amazon rainforestturn a pinkshade,and with Male dolphins are harderto detect.The Amazonwetland system,fed by the Amazon River,is a crucial place for pinkdolphinsto breed.And,since 2018,has been grantedinternationally protected status.

　　Q19:Whatdoes the passage say about pink dolphins?

　　Q20:What is the unusual coloring of pink dolphins believed tooriginate in?

　　Q21:What has become of the Amazon wetland system since 2018?

　　Passage 3

　　In a new Merrill Lynch Age Wave survey,a full 70 percent of the earlyadults said they've received financial support from their parents inthe past year,and 58 percent said they couldn't afford their currentlifestyles without it.The most common types of financial supportinclude cell phone plans,food,school costs and car expenses.

　　Parental financial support of early adults,said Ken Dichtwald,CEO ofAge Wave,is the new normal.But 64 percent of theyoung adultssurveyed said parents financial support to children aged 25-34 is abad thing,because it makes thosekids dependent.By contrast,only29 percentthought supporting men and women aged 18-24 is bad.

　　The remaining 71 percent thought that assistance helps the adultchildren get ahead.Dick Fould believes the young women and mensurveyed we're saying that by 25,young adultsought to be financiallyindependent.In fact,the respondents said financial independencedefines adulthood.Financial independence is something they werestruggling with and challengedby.

　　And it scared them a bit,Dichtwald said.One big reason they'restruggling is attributed to college loans,of which the averageamounts to $37,000.Many ofthe parents havetaken on college loansfor the kids too,sometimes at the expense of their own finances.Inthe survey,60 percent of early adults define financial success asbeing debt-free.Whether that's likely,or even possible,anytimesoon,is anyone's guess.

　　Q22:What do we learn from a new survey by Merrill Lynch Age Wave?

　　Q23:Why did most young adults in the survey sayfinancialsupport tochildren aged 25-34 is a bad thing?

　　Q24:What did the respondents in the survey say regarding financialindependence?

　　Q25:What is one big reason young adults are struggling?
