I first saw the earth-the whle earth frm the shuttle Challenger in 1984. The view takes yur breath away and fills yu with childlike wnder. That's why every shuttle crew has t clean nse-prints ff their spacecraft's windws several times a day.
An incredibly beautiful tapestry (织锦) f blue and white, tan, black and green seems t glide beneath yu at an elegant, stately pace. But yu are actually ging s fast that the entire map f the wrld spins befre yur eye with each 90-minute rbit. After just ne r tw laps, yu feel, maybe fr the first time like a citizen f a planet.
All the clrs and patterns yu see - the visible evidence f the cmplex wrking f the natural systems that make ur planet habitable - seem bth vast and precise, pwerful and yet smehw fragile.
Yu see vlcanes spewing smke, hurricanes riling the ceans and even fine tendrils’ f Saharan dust reaching acrss the Atlantic.
Yu als see the big, gray smudges f fields, paddies and pastures, and at night yu marvel at the lights, like brilliant diamnds, that reveal a msaic f cities, rads and castlines-impressive signs f the hand f humanity. Scientists tell us that ur hand is heavy, that we are wiping ut f ther species at an unprecedented rate and prbably transfrming ur climate.
Will the immense pwer f glbal systems withstand the impact f humanity? Or is it pssible that ur cllective actins will change the nature f ur planet enugh t cripple its ability t supprt life?
I n lnger believe that we can wait fr all the scientific data needed t answer these questins cnclusively. We must recgnize immediately what it means t be citizens f this planet

“Instead, ur analyses shw that the seemingly prtective effect f vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely t be accunted fr by bias (偏差)…related t differences in sciecnmic situatin and lifestyle,”Feng said.
Dn't start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly tk exceptin t the study's cnclusin.
“Althugh this study fund that eating mre vegetables wasn't assciated with a lwer risk f heart and circulatry diseases nce ther lifestyle and ther factrs were taken int accunt, that desn't mean we shuld stp eating vegetables," said Victria Taylr, a senir dietitian at the British Heart Fundatin, in a statement.
“The results are nt surprising. Picking ut ne single cmpnent and assuming just adding it t the diet, , is nt likely t result in the desired effect," Alice Lichtenstein, directr and senir scientist at Tufts University's Cardivascular Nutritin Labratry, tld CNN in an email.
“One thing that has becme clear ver the past decade is we shuld nt be lking at single fds r nutrients rather the whle dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein.

Many peple have wndered why children believe in things like Santa Claus r the Tth Fairy, thinking that children's minds are easily fled, Hwever, develpmental psychlgy ffers a different perspective.
A study published in Develpmental Psychlgy explres hw children react t ideas that g against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect. This way f checking, knwn as the“empirical stance," is evident by the time children reach elementary schl.
The study invlved nearly 200 children aged 3 t 8 frm Chinese schls. Each child was presented with five differently-sized bjects made frm painted Russian dlls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest dll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked t identify the heaviest bject, mst children chse the largest ne. An adult then either agreed with the children's chice r made a claim that the smallest dll was the heaviest. The researchers bserved whether the children wuld change their minds r test the adult's claim by cmparing the weights f the dlls.
Initially, children seemed t trust the adult's wrd, with nly a small percentage insisting n their riginal belief. Hwever, when given the pprtunity t explre the dlls, elementary schl children wh had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by cmparing the smallest and largest dlls. This explratin allwed them t generate evidence that culd cntradict the adult's claim.
These findings suggest that while children are willing t trust an adult's surprising claims, their acceptance is temprary. By elementary schl, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use t update their beliefs.
The study's implicatins extend beynd childhd. Mst adults accept cmplex cncepts, such as the existence f electrns, based n the testimny (证词) f thers rather than persnal experience.
S while children may learn abut the magic f Santa Claus frm adults, adults might similarly have smething t learn frm elementary schl children: mst f us wuld d well t adpt an empirical stance mre ften than we currently d.
32. What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The methdlgy f the study.C. The significance f the study.
B. The cnclusin f the study.D. The theretical basis f the study
33. Which child's respnse matches the empirical stance?
A. Taylr believes what the teacher says n matter what.
B. Jrdan thinks the earth is flat because his father says s.
C. Emma assumes the watermeln is sweet and then tastes it.
D. Maya suspects there are mnsters living in trees as the stry says.
34.What lessn culd adults learn frm children?
A. Rejecting cmplex cncepts.C. Learning frm their wn experience
B. Never trusting anyne.D. Cunting n thers’ testimny.
35. What is the main purpse f the text?
A. T highlight the imprtance f adult's rle in children's educatin and grwth.
B. T advcate fr a mre empirical apprach t belief frmatin acrss all ages.
C. T clarify a misunderstanding abut elementary schl students’ learning ability.
D. T persuade adults t help children rid themselves f wrng ideas abut the wrld.

Dear Paul,
I’m Li Hua frm Class 3. I appreciate yur innvative apprach t teaching English thrugh mvies. Hwever, I feel cmpelled t share sme cncerns and suggestins regarding this methd.
While watching English mvies is beneficial in understanding cultural cntexts, sme f us find it challenging t keep up with the natural speed f cnversatin in mvies. Additinally, this apprach may nt sufficiently cver ther essential aspects f language learning, such as grammar, vcabulary building, and speaking practice. I suggest integrating mre teaching methds, like vcabulary drills, grammar exercises, and speaking activities, pssibly related t the mvies we watch.
I genuinely hpe yu cnsider these suggestins. I am lking frward t mre prductive and interactive English classes that cater t the different learning styles f all students.

But I lked at him cldly, “Leave me alne.” I knew I was hurting him, but the sting f rejectin was t fresh, and I culdn’t find the wrds t bridge the gap.
Finally, Mm talked with me, saying Alex wasn’t the ne t blame.She reminded me that success and failure were parts f life’s jurney. “Yu shuld have cngratulated yur friend n this instead f feeling pitiful fr yurself,” she said seriusly.
