British teen Kitty Tait wakes up at 5 am every day to bake bread, but it's not just any old bread. The young girl who runs the Orange Bakery in her home town, with her dad Alex,adds a little humor to her bakes.

“If something is fun to eat, it makes it even tastier!” the teen baking star, who overcame depression after discovering the art of bread making, said. It was watching her dad make a simple loaf of white bread that changed her life forever. “Something that was so unpromising-a bit like how my brain felt at the time-had turned into something so magical,” she recalls.

Soon,Kitty was baking loaves for her neighbors. And before she knew it, there was a subscription service followed by a pop-up in her neighbor's garage where she sold almost 100 loaves of bread and doughnuts（甜甜圈）in half an hour.“At that moment， I realized that this was what I wanted to do with my life,” she says.

A few months later, after raising enough money through crowdfunding,the teen rented a small retail space in town and her dad quit his job to become her business partner. They've been running the Orange Bakery ever since, selling everything from Marmite and cheese swirls to Danish pastries.

“I'm just really excited about people eating good bread, whether it is made by themselves or bought from a bakery,” says Kitty. “My main mission is to make bread inclusive and joyful because I have found so much joy in it.”

Today,the Taits are part of the global baking community, running baking classes at local schools.

Tigers are faced with many threats， including poaching （偷猎），illegal trade and habitat loss to name a few. It's little wonder that their population has declined from 100,000 a century ago to just 3,500 today.

But despite these challenges,Nepal's wild tigers have successfully returned from the edge of extinction with a 190 per cent population increase since 2009. According to Nepal's National Tiger and Prey Survey 2022,there are now 355 wild tigers in the country, compared to 121 in 2010. This amounts to a 190 per cent increase, meaning that the country nearly tripled its tiger population.

Ginette Hemley,Senior Vice President for wildlife conservation at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), said ,“Tigers in Nepal and everywhere else that they live in Asia,about 10countries, were on a steady decline because of two key reasons. The most immediate reason was poaching for the illegal animal trade. The second reason was loss of habitat.”

To achieve this comeback in tiger numbers, Nepal laid ban on poaching, with anti-poaching groups patrolling protected areas. Another factor in the country's success was the restoration of corridors to promote the safe passage and genetic distribution of tigers in protected areas.

Hemley said,“Nepal really does stand out as a leader in conservation,especially for tigers. There is support for conservation of tigers at the highest level of government. That has translated into really effective habitat conservation, bolstering the protection of tigers in national parks, the wildlife reserves. ” As well as government support, she pointed to community involvement in conservation projects as a reason for Nepal's success. Hopefully, we will continue to see a recovery in the tiger population, as well as measures taken to protect local communities.

28.What does the author think of the decrease of the tiger population?

A. It's surprising.

B.It's puzzling.

C.It's expected.

D.It's abnormal.

29. What do the figures in paragraph 2 mean?

A.The success of tiger conservation.

B. Efforts made by a few Nepalese.

C.The serious decrease of tigers.

D. Challenges of protecting tigers.

30.Which can best replace the underlined word “patrolling” in paragraph 4?

A.guarding

B.walking

C.trapping

D.judging

31. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A. The specific reasons for protecting tigers.

B. The government's attitude to tiger conservation.

C.The author's ambiguous attitude to tiger conservation.

D.The work local communities have done to protect tigers.

When you want advice to achieve something, whom would you rather ask: the top performer in that area or someone barely getting by? Most people would choose the top performer. That person's advice, however, may not be any more helpful.

“Skillful performance and skillful teaching are not always the same thing, so we shouldn't expect the best performers to necessarily be the best teachers as well,” said David Levari (Harvard Business School), lead author of a recent Psychological Science article.

Across four studies, he and co-authors found that top performers don't give better advice than other performers， at least in some domains（领域）. Rather，they just give more of it.“Our studies suggest that at least in some instances, people may overvalue advice from top performers,”the researchers wrote.

“In our experiments, people given advice by top performers thought that it helped them more, even though it usually didn't. Surprisingly, they thought so even though they didn't know anything about the people who wrote their advice,” said Levari. “Top performers didn't write more helpful advice, but they did write more of it, and people in our experiments mistook quantity for quality,” Levari added.

So, why wasn't the advice more helpful? Levari and colleagues have a few ideas. First,skilled performers may overlook fundamental advice because natural talent and extensive practice have made conscious thought unnecessary. Second, top performers may not be skilled communicators. Even when an excellent performer does have explicit information to share,they may not be especially good at sharing it. Finally, a large quantity of advice may be more than what can realistically be carried out.

“We spend a lot of time and money looking for good advice, whether from coworkers and coaches,teachers and tutors, or friends and family,” said Levari. “The next time you get advice,you should think less about how much of it there was, and more about how much of it you could actually use.”

32.How did the author introduce the topic of the text?

A.By comparing data.

B.By raising a question.

C. By describing a definition.

D.By presenting the survey result.

33.Which of the following agrees with Levari's opinion?

A. Top performers give poor advice.

B. Top performers give better advice.

C. Top performers give useful advice.

D. Top performers give more advice.

34. What did Levari suggest people do when getting advice?

A.Learn about its writer.

B. Consider its practicality.

C. Think less about its quality.

D.Find more related information.

35.What is the best title for the text?

A.Top Performers Can Be Trusted

B. Trying Common Performers' Advice Is Great

C.Common Performers May Give More Advice

D.Top Performers Don't Always Give Better Advice
