The latest bad but unsurprising news n educatin is that reading and writing scres n the SAT have nce again declined. The language cmpetence f ur high schlers fell steeply in the 1970s and has never recvered. This is very wrrisme, because the best single measure f the verall quality f ur primary and secndary schls is the average verbal（语言的）scre f 17-year-lds. This scre crrelates with the ability t learn new things readily, t cmmunicate with thers and t secure a jb. It als predicts future incme.
The mst cnvincing analyses have shwn that the chief causes are vast curricular changes, especially in the critical early grades. In the decades befre the Great Verbal Decline, a cntent-rich elementary schl experience evlved int a cntent-light, skills-based, test-centered apprach. Cgnitive psychlgists agree that early childhd language learning（ages 2 t 10）is critical t later verbal cmpetence, because f the s-called Matthew Effect. Accrding t Matthew Effect, thse wh are language-pr in early childhd get relatively prer, and fall further behind, while the verbally rich get richer.
Clearly the key is t make sure that frm kindergarten n, every student, frm the start, understands the main idea f what is heard r read. If preschlers and kindergartners are ffered substantial and cherent lessns cncerning the human and natural wrlds, then the results f significantly imprved verbal scres will shw up five years r s later. By staying n a subject lng enugh t make all yung children familiar with it（say, tw weeks r s）, the main idea becmes understd by all and wrd learning speeds up . This is especially imprtant fr lw-incme children, wh cme t schl with smaller vcabularies and rely n schl t pass n the knwledge base children frm rich families take fr granted.
Current refrm strategies fcus n testing, imprving teacher quality, and ther changes. Attentin t these structural issues has led t imprvements in the best public schls. But it is nt enugh.
28. Why is the decrease in verbal scres n the SAT wrrisme?
A. Because it leads t a shrt supply f talents in the labr market.
B. Because it reveals yung peple’s negative attitude twards verbal study.
C. Because it shws schls’ inability t meet the natinal requirements.
D. Because it negatively influences students in their future develpment.
29. What is the reasn fr the falling verbal cmpetence?
A. Children’s lack f language learning ability.
B. Fewer curses n reading and writing in schl.
C. Shift f curricular fcus frm cntent t skills.
D. Heavy pressure that numerus tests have resulted in.
30. Which ne is a gd slutin t language cmpetence decline?
A. Teachers shuld train children t better understand the cntent.
B. Teachers shuld take family backgrund int cnsideratin.

Strings f letters have recently been flding the Chinese Internet. Netizens have embraced the MBTI（Myers-Briggs Type Indicatr）persnality test, using its distinctive cmbinatins f letters t define and classify themselves and thers, sparking the frmatin f active nline cmmunities. Initially designed as a self-assessment tl t utline persnality types and preferences, the MBTI has fund enrmus ppularity in China.
The MBTI classifies individuals using fur pairs f characteristics: intrversin（I）（内向）r extrversin（E）（外向）, sensing（S）r intuitin（N）, thinking（T）r feeling（F）, and judging（J）r perceiving（P）. This leads t distinct fur-letter cmbinatins, like “ISTJ” r “INFP.” The values “E” and “I” have especially attracted public interest. Thse wh exhibit extrversin（E）characteristics are nw humrusly described as utging, talkative, wild, and scially skilled. They are ften playfully called “scial gangsters” due t their strng scial skills. In cntrast, thse with intrversin（I）are shwn as quiet, reflective, and scially anxius.
Amng the playful teasing, these eight seemingly simple letters have prmted deeper self-awareness and even develped a sense f friendship n scial media platfrms. Individuals discver their strengths and humrusly acknwledge their dd behavir. This newfund self-awareness nt nly aids in understanding their fundamental values but als ffers a way t deal with the cmmn unease that bthers tday’s yuth. Many find cmfrt in thinking, “My nging anxiety, ver-sensitivity, and self-dubt cme frm being an INFP. Such characteristics are typical fr this persnality type; thus, I’m perfectly nrmal”.
Netizens ften humrusly nte: “In everyday life, during scial events, I switch between intrversin and extrversin. At wrk, I initially act extrverted but gradually becme mre intrverted. When I see smene I like, I’m extrverted in my head but in reality, I’m all intrverted. Haidila Htpt restaurants, knwn fr their fancy birthday celebratins, smetimes make custmers feel awkward. Their typical birthday sng ges, “Say gdbye t all wrries, and embrace all jys.” It’s a shw meant fr the extra-scial. S, if an extrvert is invited t such a celebratin, they might humrusly exclaim, “I can’t take it! I’ve becme intrverted in the face f even mre extrverted individuals.”
32. What is the riginal functin f the MBTI persnality test?
A. T help frm active nline cmmunities.
B. T scientifically classify netizen behavirs.
C. T prmte the use f self-assessment tls
D. T indicate the character types f peple.
33. Which f the fllwing is mst likely t be a “scial gangster”?
A. A persn wh always thinks a lt.
B. A persn wh is kind and cnsiderate.
C. A persn wh makes friends very easily.
D. A persn wh is self-centered but ppular.
34. What benefit can understanding MBTI type pssibly bring us?
A. Gaining ppularity n scial media platfrms.
B. Recgnizing and accepting persnal character.
C. Remving ur scial anxiety and self-dubt.
D. Knwing neself better and crrecting dd behavir.
35. Why des the authr mentin birthday celebratins in Haidila Htpt restaurants?
