By nw, the stry f Britney Spears's guardianship and its eventual end is well knwn: Fr years, Ms. Spears was trapped in a legal situatin in which mst f the mney she earned went t her father, wh cntrlled nt nly her finances, but things like her medicatin, her perfrmance schedule and mre.
Ms. Spears's stry triggered an examinatin f guardianship laws, and that may have helped prmpt recent assessments f the prtectins - r lack theref - available t child influencers. Yet in nearly all f the United States, these wrkers have n legal prtectins and n guarantees that they will ever see any f the mney that they have earned.
If this has parallels with Ms. Spears's guardianship, its rts stretch back nearly a century. In 1938, a 23-year-ld named Jackie Cgan, wh had starred in Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid" as a tddler, learned that his mther and his stepfather had spent the millins f dllars he had earned as a child star. He sued and wn, and in respnse, Califrnia passed a bill in 1939, cmmnly referred t as the Cgan Law, t prtect children in similar rles.
Tday, a revised versin f the law requires that 15 percent f a child entertainer's earnings g int a trust. A few ther states have their wn versins f Califrnia's law, but barring ne exceptin, these laws d nt extend t children wh are making their names n Instagram, TikTk, YuTube r any f the ther majr scial media platfrms. Even if child influencers prduce their wn cntent and are nt managed by their parents, they are at risk f being explited by adults in their lives.
Nw, pliticians are starting t catch up, mtivated in part by civic-minded teenagers wh have watched as ppular family vlggers like Machelle Hbsn and Ruby Franke have been expsed fr abusing and expliting their children, mstly behind the scenes, but smetimes n camera.
28.The example f Britney Spears shws that____________.
A. peple are interested in the news f celebrities
B. sme stars break up with their family after gaining fame
C. the cnflict between parents and children is cmmn
D. the guardianship law may fail t ffer prtectin
29.What des “this” refer t in paragraph 3?
A. The phenmenn that the gvernment examines the guardianship laws
B. The phenmenn that child labrers have n cntrl ver the mney they have earned
C. The phenmenn that child influencer earned mre mney than adults
D. The phenmenn that Jackie Cgan starred in Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid" as a tddler
30.What can be learned abut the Cgan Law?
A. Jackie Cgan was cmpensated accrding t this law.
B. It des nt apply t child entertainers n nline platfrms.
C. A few states has the law t prtect child entertainers.
D. It requires that 15 percent f the earnings g t the parents.
31.What can yu knw frm the last paragraph?
A. Pliticians are punishing the behavir f child abuse.
B. Pliticians are lifting the age restrictins in banks.
C. Pliticians are imprving the related laws.
D. Pliticians are banning children frm being cntent creatrs.
D
Placed befre yu are tw pts. Each cntains 100 balls. Yu are given a clear descriptin f the first pt's cntents, in which there are 50 red balls and 50 black balls. The ecnmist running the experiment is tight-lipped abut the secnd, saying nly that there are 100 balls divided between red and black in sme percentage. Then yu are ffered a chice. Pick a red ball frm a pt and yu will get a millin dllars. Which pt wuld yu like t pull frm? Nw try again, but select a black ball. Which pt this time? Mst peple chse the first pt bth times, despite such a chice implying that there are bth mre and fewer red balls than in the secnd pt.
This fact is knwn as the Ellsberg paradx after Daniel Ellsberg, wh called the behaviur hate uncertainty. It reveals a deeper prblem facing the wrld as it struggles with climate change.
Ignrance f the future carries a cst tday: uncertainty makes risks uninsurable, r at the very least expensive. The less insurers knw abut risks, the mre capital they need t prtect their balance-sheets against pssible lsses.
Insurance is a tl f climate adaptatin. Indeed, insurance calculatrs have as big a rle t play as activists in the fight against climate change. Withut insurance, thse whse hmes burn in a wildfire r are destryed by a fld will lse everything. Insurance can als be a mtive fr crrective actin. Higher insurance expenses, which accurately reflect risk, stimulate peple t adapt sner, whether by discuraging building in risky areas r encuraging peple t mve away frm high fire risk land. If prices are wrng, sciety will be mre hurt by a htter wrld than therwise wuld be the case. Pliticians cnsidering financial aid fr hme insurance n fld plains ught t nte.
32.The experiment f the tw pts shw that___________.
A. instinct smetimes wrks better than reasningB. mst peple prefer predictability t uncertainty
C. peple are willing t take risks t get a rewardD. it is impssible t always make the right decisin
33.What’s the functins f insurance?
A. It raises peple’s awareness f climate change.B. It prevents peple frm taking risks.
C. It mtivates peple t adapt t risky envirnment.D. It helps climate refugees t relcate.
34.What’s authr’s attitude twards financial aids fr hme insurance?
A. OppsingB. SupprtiveC. UncertainD. Ambiguus
35.Which f the fllwing culd be the best title fr the text?
A. Preventin is better than remedyB. Imprving frecast can reduce uncertainty
C. Uncertainty pushes up the price f insuranceD. Speedy actin is urgently needed fr climate change

Last summer vacatin, I traveled t Sanya in Hainan, China. When my dad tld me ne f the items n the jurney wuld be ne f the highest water slides (水上滑梯) in Asia, I asked my dad repeatedly whether I culd stay at hme. But my dad said that I wuld lve it and we shuld g tgether.
Three days later, I was standing in frnt f that water slide in Atlantics Waterpark. The slide was lcated in a building. When I lked up at the tens f thusands f stairs leading t the peak f the building, I thught t myself, “If I fall frm that place, I will definitely die.”
As we started climbing the stairs, I saw three wrds n the wall: Leap f Faith. I had never heard f these wrds, and at that time they reminded me f Rad t Death. Five meters, ten meters ... I lked dwn and thught, “I am ging t die tday.” Fifteen meters, twenty meters ... I thught abut the many things I hadn’t dne and asked my dad whether I had life insurance. Twenty-five meters, thirty meters ... and we were finally at the tp, ready t jump int the slide. I lked at the three peple next t me and thught, “These are the last three peple I will see in my life.”
Suddenly, the teenage by ahead f me stpped in frnt f the slide and turned arund, “Lk dwn there. If we fall int the shark tank, we will be eaten by thse hungry sharks.” We all paused and lked dwn at the shark tank abve the slide tunnel. Just then, a yunger by next t me said, “Excuse me, if yu dn’t want t g nw, I will g first.” Then he walked past the teenage by and me and jumped int the slide, disappearing in an instant.
My father said t me jkingly, “Lk, that by is nt even half f yur height. Cme n, Selina. Yu can d it.” The teenager turned and stared at me t, “Nw, yu g first.”
Paragraph 1：
With a deep breath, I stepped clser t the edge f the slide.
