“Mm, I gt int the University f Delaware!” I still remember hw thrilled I was t be the first ne in my family t have the pprtunity t study abrad．I was s excited that I did a cuntdwn every single day leading up t mve-in day at the university．Hwever, just a few weeks after I gt there, I fund it very difficult t adapt t a different cuntry, culture, and a strict curriculum．
I knew studying in a freign university was ging t be hard, but the first exam still shcked me —I gt a 58%, the lwest in my life．Wrse still, since my day-t-day experiences and interests were s different frm the American students, I was struggling t make friends．I felt like a cmplete lser and kept thinking maybe I shuld just give up．But then it ccurred t me that I was nt studying just fr myself, but t live up t my family expectatins．
Having made up my mind t push myself frward, I came up with a plan t make imprvements．The plan was nt nly abut study, but als abut my eating and leisure time．I als planned weekly gals n hw t make friends, such as “yu will talk t smene at the dining hall, and yu will nt be scared!” Lking back, I find it was definitely embarrassing t plan my days like this, but I did it and made it．I was able t interact with thers withut lking like an utsider and even made sme friends．I even began t teach thers abut my cuntry．I tld them abut typical cultural differences between my cuntry and the US．It was really exciting t see them eager t learn mre abut my cuntry．
Nw I am a senir, cnfident, strng and smart．My freshman-year self is extremely prud f hw far I have cme．The cming graduatin surely makes me sad, but I’m sure it’s nt the ending．but the beginning f the many mre gals I will accmplish．

The curb cut（路缘坡）is a cnvenience that mst f us rarely, if ever, ntice．Yet, withut it, daily life might be a lt harder in mre ways than ne, such as carrying baggage, pushing a bicycle r a wheelchair r riding a skatebard etc．—all these tasks are easier because f the curb cut．
But it was created with a different purpse in mind．
It’s hard t imagine tday, but back in the 1970s, mst sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drp-ff. That was a big deal fr peple in wheelchairs because there were n ramps（斜坡）t help them mve alng city blcks withut assistance．Accrding t ne disability rights leader, a six-inch curb “might as well have been Munt Everest”. S, activists frm Berkeley, Califrnia, wh als needed wheelchairs, rganized a campaign t create tiny ramps at intersectins t help disadvantaged peple dependent n wheels mve up and dwn curbs independently．
I think abut the “curb cut effect” a lt when wrking n issues arund health equity．The first time I even heard abut the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanfrd Scial Innvatin Review piece by Plicy Link CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly nted that many peple see equity “as a zer-sum game.” Basically, there is a deeply rted scial belief amng them that intentinally supprting ne grup hurts anther．What the cur b cut effect reveals thugh, Blackwell said, is that “when sciety creates the circumstances that allw thse wh have been left behind t participate and cntribute fully, almst everyne wins.”
One such example is clsed captining（字幕）, riginally intended t help deaf peple understand mvies and TV shws withut needing t hear dialgue r sunds．But it’s easy t think f ther applicatins fr clsed captining: it’s cnvenient fr custmers watching TV in a nisy bar r gym．secnd-language learners wh want t read as well as listen, r students wh use it as a study aid．
S, next time yu crss the street, r rll yur suitcase thrugh a crsswalk r ride yur bike directly nt a sidewalk —think abut hw much the cur b cut, that change in design that brke dwn walls f exclusin fr ne grup f peple at a disadvantage, has helped nt just that grup, but almst all f us．
28．What is the purpse f the examples listed in the first paragraph?
A．T call n us t care abut the disadvantaged grups．
B．T ffer sme backgrund infrmatin abut the curb cut．
C．T tell us that peple ignre the existence f the curb cut．
D．T make us knw the cnvenience f the curb cut t ur daily life．
29．What des the underlined qute imply cncerning a six-inch curb?
A．It is an impassable barrier．B．It is an imprtant sign．
C．It is an unfrgettable symbl．D．It is an impressive landmark．
30．Which f the fllwing examples best shws the “curb cut effect”?
A．Classic literature gt translated int many languages．
B．The fur great inventins f China spread t the West．
C．Reading machines fr blind peple als benefit thers．
D．Helping the disabled cntributes t mre peple ding it．
31．What is the main idea f the text?
A．The cur b cut is nly beneficial t the disabled．
B．Everyne in a sciety shuld be treated equally．
C．The disadvantaged peple fight fr rights and equality．
D．Caring fr disadvantaged grups may benefit mre peple．

If yu were t mve t a new cuntry with a different language and bring alng the family dg, yur pet wuld likely have a hard time understanding cmmands frm the lcals, accrding t a new study lking at hw dgs’ brains react t different languages．
The new study was cnducted by lead authr Laura Cuaya, a neurbilgist at Etvs Lrand University in Hungary, wh recently mved frm Mexic t Tky alngside her dg Kun Kun．
Cuaya and her team trained 18 dgs, including Kun Kun, t lie mtinless in an MRI machine s they culd scan their brains．As the dgs were being scanned, the researchers played the dgs three different recrdings: a Spanish versin f the famus children’s bk The Little Prince; a Japanese versin f the same bk; and a series f human nises that did nt resemble speech at all．All f the dgs had been expsed t nly ne f the tw languages, meaning ne was familiar t them and the ther was unfamiliar．MRI scans revealed that dgs’ brains can distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar languages, making them the first knwn, and s far nly, nn-human animals t be able t tell the difference between human languages．
During the experiments, researchers als fund that lder dgs shwed mre activity in the secndary auditry crtex（听觉皮层）f the brain, suggesting they were better at differentiating familiar and unfamiliar languages than yunger dgs．“The main reasn that lder dgs are better at differentiating languages is the amunt f expsure t the language,” Cuaya said．“Older dgs have had mre pprtunities t listen t humans.”
Dgs d nt need t be trained t distinguish between human languages．“Their brains detected the difference naturally, perhaps due t the dmesticatin prcess,” Cuaya said. “Thugh many species can distinguish between human languages, dgs are ne f the few that are interested in hearing us.”
32．What may happen t dgs when they g abrad?
A．They face sme language barriers．
B．They fail t understand their wners．
C．They becme mre sensitive t languages
D．They can adapt t the new envirnment easily．
33．What des paragraph 3 mainly tell us abut the study?
A．Its purpse．B．Its prcessC．Its benefit．D．Its backgrund．
34．What des Cuaya intend t cnvey in the last paragraph?
A．Dgs are clsely related t humans．
B．Humans shuld be mre friendly t dgs．
C．Training plays an imprtant rle in raising dgs
D．Dmesticatin helps dgs live better with humans．
35．What is the best title fr the text?
A．Dgs Can Bring Surprising Health Benefits
B．Dgs Are Gd Translatrs in a New Envirnment
C．Dgs That Are Often Expsed t Humans Are Mre Intelligent
D．Dgs Can Distinguish Between Familiar and Unfamiliar Human Languages

WHY A DOSE OF FEAR IS GOOD FOR YOU
Eleanr Rsevelt nce said: “D ne thing every day that scares yu.” She was nt smething．Science has shwn that feeling fear —in the right dses（量）—has several benefits．
·Feeling fear is fun and exciting．Many peple scare themselves n purpse． 36
When yu step utside yur cmfrt zne, it is fear that makes yu feel alive, which is fun and exciting．The excitement generated can als help reduce depressin by increasing adrenaline（肾上腺素）, which in turn increases excitement and glucse（changed int energy）． 37 A dse f fear is an “eraser” fr the mind．
· 38 Being afraid f smething can remind yu f an area f yur life that is limiting yu．Fr instance, if yu’re afraid f flying but face the fear and gather up the curage t step n an airplane, yu can travel the wrld. Adding t yur experiences means that yu’ll create a varied life．Yu’ll als have fewer regrets．
·Fear makes yu aware f what’s really imprtant in life．Hw ften have yu said t yurself: “When I have mre time, I’ll spend it with my family, pursue my passin, eat healthier r exercise mre”? Fear makes yu realize that “nw” is the nly time yu have t achieve and fllw thrugh what is the mst imprtant 39
Sme say where fear meets curage is the sweet spt in which muntains get scaled and rivers are run． 40 We shuld all embrace ur fear．Nt the big fears that are life-threatening but the helpful fears that cme in small dses．
A．“Later” is never ensured．
B．Fear helps yu realize yur dream．
C．Fear allws yu t live life t the fullest．
D．They watch scary mvies, ride rller casters r g skydiving．
E．And every time yu cme thrugh a challenge, yu feel empwered．
F．Mst f all, fear can be the birth place f change, creativity and innvatin．
G．Actually, it’s impssible t think f yur wrries when yu are experiencing fear．
