4 . A new song by the famous band The Beatles has been released despite half of the band members no longer being alive, thanks to the help of AI.

The Beatles was a legendary British rock band that remained second to Elvis Presley from the 1960s. It was made up of four musicians—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

6 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was a warm Sunday. 16-year-old Stella settled down with a book, enjoying her quiet moment when her friend Bog came over with his 6-year-old sister. “Stella, please! I need you to help to watch Hazel! I have a lecture to attend this afternoon,” Bog begged.

Stella frowned, not thrilled with the idea of babysitting a little girl. However, Bog didn’t offer her any other choice. He dropped Hazel off with Stella and quickly ran away before she could react.

With a heavy sigh, Stella unwillingly turned her attention to Hazel. “Fine, just stay there and don’t cause any trouble,” she grumbled (嘟囔). To her surprise, little Hazel smiled and obediently sat by the table, drawing quietly without making a single noise.

For the next hour, Stella was quietly engaged in reading without being disturbed by Hazel. Gradually, her annoyance disappeared and she got accustomed to the company of Hazel. After a while, Hazel cautiously approached Stella, holding a picture. “Look, it’s you and me,” she said in a low voice. It was a simple drawing of two girls, hand in hand, smiling.

Stella’s heart softened as she looked at the drawing. She felt guilty about treating Hazel impatiently. Setting her book aside, Stella smiled warmly and said, “I love it. Thank you!” Then Stella began to join Hazel to create it together.

Just as they were lost in a world of colors, a sudden phone ringing broke the warm atmosphere. It was a phone call from her friend, reminding her about the long-awaited plan to go skating on the ice rink (溜冰场). Stella’s heart sank because she had forgotten all about it. She was torn between the desire to go skating and her duty to look after Hazel. She was also worried that taking her to skate would prevent her from enjoying gliding (滑) freely on the ice.

7 . Getting into an air-conditioned space during extreme heat is the best way of protecting yourself against heat-related illness, Dr. Pryor says. But there are a few additional things you can do to serve the purpose.

Focus on hydrating(补水), even before you go outside

“    1    ,” Dr. Pryor says. And if you know you’ll be out in the heat for a while, here commends having a food or drink that contains electrolytes(电解质) — say, a salty snack or sports drink—before you head outdoors, since you’ll lose a lot of them in your sweat. Both water and electrolytes will keep you hydrated.

    2    

Go for lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothes, like a cotton shirt. Heavy, form-fitting clothing obviously won’t feel great when your skin badly needs to breathe. Meanwhile, dark-colored clothes take in the sun’s heat and make you feel hotter.

Rethink your dinner menu

Cooking meals will give off a lot of heat and can make your space even steamier.     3     .

Cut down on exercise needing great energy

“    4    ,” Dr. Pryor says. So if you typically run three miles, you might instead run one or two during a cooler time of the day, have water with you, and take breaks to check in on how your body feels.

Take a cool shower

This kind of shower has an air conditioning effect, Dr. Pryor explains.     5     . This is also an important tip to keep in mind if someone near you is dealing with a heat stroke (中暑) situation, which is the most serious heat-related illness.

A．Choose your proper clothing

B．You’d better work out at a gym.

C．Bring a change of clothes with you

D．Cool water helps lower your body temperature quickly

E．If you are going to be outside in high heat, start hydrating early

F．Exercise is OK if you know how to reduce the time of the workout

G．Instead, consider making a meal that requires no heat, like no-cook dinners
