Encuraged by his wrds, I agreed t give it a try. After much thinking, I settled n an uncnventinal tpic: Paul Revere’s hrse. I decided t narrate (叙述) the events f that histric night frm the hrse’s perspective. It was an unusual chice, but I hped it wuld set my writing apart frm the thers.
As I began t write, I fund myself empathizing (同情) with the hrse’s jurney. What did the hrse think, as sped thrugh the night? Did he get tired? Have dubts? Did he want t quit? Like the hrse, I t encuntered challenges alng the way. There were mments f exhaustin, self-dubt, and a strng desire t give up. But I persisted, fueled by the encuragement f my teacher and my wn determinatin.
I pured myself int the essay, carefully checking spelling and grammar and absrbed in research at the library. With each revisin, I imprved my strytelling skills and grew mre passinate abut the prcess.

As warm bld spattered all ver us, I screamed… actually it was water, but that didn’t stp me being s scared that my heart was nearly beating ut f my chest. My friend had persuaded me nt the Htel Psych ride at the Prater Amusement Park, I’m unwilling t experience any fear, but I decided t d it anyway. I came ff the ride shaking but excited.
Apparently Eleanr Rsevelt didn’t actually say “d ne thing that scares yu every day”, as is ften thught, but nevertheless it’s a great rule t fllw. Yu dn’t need t g n a fairgrund ride r jump ut f a plane, but it is a gd idea t push yurself ut f yur cmfrt zne regularly.
The human brain, particularly the amygdale (杏仁核), is designed t keep yu safe. This sunds like a gd thing, and bviusly, smetimes it is. Hwever, the fact that the amygdala is always n the lkut fr danger means that it will priritize prtecting yu ver almst anything else: learning smething new, experiencing smething amazing, getting a great pprtunity and meeting ther peple. The amygdala wuld really just like yu t stay put in a nice safe dark cave.
The mre yu listen t its urgings t avid all risks, the narrwer and darker yur life will becme. There is plenty f evidence that the mst effective way t deal with ur fears and anxieties is expsing urselves t what we fear. Yu can start ff with small steps, but the mre yu cnfrnt (面对) yur fears, the smaller they becme: whereas the mre yu allw yur fears t prevent yu frm ding things, the bigger thse fears seem t be.
Fr this reasn, it is imprtant t stretch yurself and keep all thse pssibilities pen. Yu need t take risks and d things that petrify yu, s that yu knw just what yu’re capable f. Smetimes thse risks wn’t wrk ut, but that’s fine, as lng as yu can learn frm the experience, and get ready fr the next adventure.
28. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the text?
A. By giving a definitin.B. By telling a hrrible stry.
C. By quting frm a classic bk.D. By describing his wn experience.
29. What can be learned abut the amygdala?
A. It stps peple frm trying things ut.
B. It functins well in a dark envirnment.
C. It intrduces sme risk-taking activities.
D. It highlights peple’s demand fr learning.
30. What des the authr tell us abut ur fears in Paragraph 4?
A. They culd be hard t vercme.
B. They shuld be addressed effectively.
C. They wuld be necessary fr survival.
D. They might be regular visitrs t ur life.
31. What des the underlined wrd “petrify” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Inspire.B. Scare.C. Cmfrt.D. Anger.

It is widely knwn that children’s interest in nature is crucial fr their mental health and bidiversity (生物多样性) prtectin effrts. But hw can parents and teachers develp children’s interest in nature in the first place? The answer may lie in a garden.
Chinese researchers have recently reprted that a schl garden with abundant natural cmpnents (元素) can be used t cultivate the interest f primary schl children in nature while helping t relieve their study-related stress.
In a study published in the jurnal Peple and Nature, a research team frm Xishuangbanna Trpical Btanical Garden f the Chinese Academy f Sciences analyzed the impact f natural bservatin and inquiry-based learning activities in a schl garden n the develpment f children’s interest in nature.
The researchers cnducted a series f teaching interventins (干预) ver a semester in a campus garden f a primary schl in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan prvince. The prgram invlved 24 furth graders taking part in three 40-minute activities that were held weekly: natural bservatin with assigned tasks, natural bservatin with pen-ended tasks and inquiry-based activities.
Participants kept individual prtflis (档案) cnsisting f questinnaires, nature jurnals, bservatin ntes and interviews. Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed t divide children int three categries: thse wh develped an interest, thse wh develped an imprved interest, and thse nt affected by the activities.
After fur mnths in the prgram, the results shwed that mre than tw-thirds f the 24 students were classified as either “interest started” r “interest enhanced,” shwing a generally favrable utcme, accrding t the study. The results revealed that the schl garden, with its unique and safe envirnment, played a significant rle in stimulating children’s curisity abut the creatures in the garden. It als empwered children t learn and explre independently.
Given the current trend f children spending mre time in frnt f screens and less in frnt f nature, schl gardens ffer ptential slutins, the study said. “Implementing a diverse schl garden with infrmative labels and explanatin bards, alng with teacher supprt, represents a ptential apprach t cultivating children’s interest in nature, particularly during the critical develpmental stage f 9 t 11 years f age,” said Chen Jin, a researcher at the Xishuangbanna Trpical Btanical Garden. “We recmmend adpting mini btanical (植物的) gardens and club activities in schls t bridge frmal and infrmal educatin,” Chen added.
32. What is the main fcus f the study?
A. The benefits f traditinal classrm settings.
B. The impact f screen time n children’s develpment.
C. The effects f inquiry-based learning n primary schl children.
D. The rle f schl gardens in develping children’s interest in nature.
33. Hw did the schl garden cntribute t children’s curisity?
A. By limiting children’s access t screens.
B. By fcusing n frmal classrm activities.
C. By creating a unique and safe envirnment.
D By ffering inquiry-based learning activities.
34. What is recmmended t develp children’s interest in nature?
A. Adpting diverse schl gardens with teacher’s supprt.
B. Encuraging mre screen time fr educatinal purpses.
C. Fcusing n infrmal activities withut teacher’s supprt.
D Increasing the time children spend independently explring nature.

As warm bld spattered all ver us, I screamed… actually it was water, but that didn’t stp me being s scared that my heart was nearly beating ut f my chest. My friend had persuaded me nt the Htel Psych ride at the Prater Amusement Park, I’m unwilling t experience any fear, but I decided t d it anyway. I came ff the ride shaking but excited.
Apparently Eleanr Rsevelt didn’t actually say “d ne thing that scares yu every day”, as is ften thught, but nevertheless it’s a great rule t fllw. Yu dn’t need t g n a fairgrund ride r jump ut f a plane, but it is a gd idea t push yurself ut f yur cmfrt zne regularly.
The human brain, particularly the amygdale (杏仁核), is designed t keep yu safe. This sunds like a gd thing, and bviusly, smetimes it is. Hwever, the fact that the amygdala is always n the lkut fr danger means that it will priritize prtecting yu ver almst anything else: learning smething new, experiencing smething amazing, getting a great pprtunity and meeting ther peple. The amygdala wuld really just like yu t stay put in a nice safe dark cave.
The mre yu listen t its urgings t avid all risks, the narrwer and darker yur life will becme. There is plenty f evidence that the mst effective way t deal with ur fears and anxieties is expsing urselves t what we fear. Yu can start ff with small steps, but the mre yu cnfrnt (面对) yur fears, the smaller they becme: whereas the mre yu allw yur fears t prevent yu frm ding things, the bigger thse fears seem t be.
Fr this reasn, it is imprtant t stretch yurself and keep all thse pssibilities pen. Yu need t take risks and d things that petrify yu, s that yu knw just what yu’re capable f. Smetimes thse risks wn’t wrk ut, but that’s fine, as lng as yu can learn frm the experience, and get ready fr the next adventure.

It is widely knwn that children’s interest in nature is crucial fr their mental health and bidiversity (生物多样性) prtectin effrts. But hw can parents and teachers develp children’s interest in nature in the first place? The answer may lie in a garden.
Chinese researchers have recently reprted that a schl garden with abundant natural cmpnents (元素) can be used t cultivate the interest f primary schl children in nature while helping t relieve their study-related stress.
In a study published in the jurnal Peple and Nature, a research team frm Xishuangbanna Trpical Btanical Garden f the Chinese Academy f Sciences analyzed the impact f natural bservatin and inquiry-based learning activities in a schl garden n the develpment f children’s interest in nature.
The researchers cnducted a series f teaching interventins (干预) ver a semester in a campus garden f a primary schl in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan prvince. The prgram invlved 24 furth graders taking part in three 40-minute activities that were held weekly: natural bservatin with assigned tasks, natural bservatin with pen-ended tasks and inquiry-based activities.
Participants kept individual prtflis (档案) cnsisting f questinnaires, nature jurnals, bservatin ntes and interviews. Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed t divide children int three categries: thse wh develped an interest, thse wh develped an imprved interest, and thse nt affected by the activities.
After fur mnths in the prgram, the results shwed that mre than tw-thirds f the 24 students were classified as either “interest started” r “interest enhanced,” shwing a generally favrable utcme, accrding t the study. The results revealed that the schl garden, with its unique and safe envirnment, played a significant rle in stimulating children’s curisity abut the creatures in the garden. It als empwered children t learn and explre independently.
Given the current trend f children spending mre time in frnt f screens and less in frnt f nature, schl gardens ffer ptential slutins, the study said. “Implementing a diverse schl garden with infrmative labels and explanatin bards, alng with teacher supprt, represents a ptential apprach t cultivating children’s interest in nature, particularly during the critical develpmental stage f 9 t 11 years f age,” said Chen Jin, a researcher at the Xishuangbanna Trpical Btanical Garden. “We recmmend adpting mini btanical (植物的) gardens and club activities in schls t bridge frmal and infrmal educatin,” Chen added.
32. What is the main fcus f the study?
A. The benefits f traditinal classrm settings.
B. The impact f screen time n children’s develpment.
C. The effects f inquiry-based learning n primary schl children.
D. The rle f schl gardens in develping children’s interest in nature.
33. Hw did the schl garden cntribute t children’s curisity?
A. By limiting children’s access t screens.
B. By fcusing n frmal classrm activities.
C. By creating a unique and safe envirnment.
D By ffering inquiry-based learning activities.
34. What is recmmended t develp children’s interest in nature?
