Spanish scientist Pilar Bsch has fund a way t use bacteria (细菌) t repair 18th-century paintings.
Bsch, a micrbilgist, tells Reuters she gt the idea fr the methd while cnsidering pssibilities fr a paper tward her dctral degree. During this prcess, she discvered smene else’s paper that suggested bacteria can be used t restre artwrks.
At arund the same time, Bsch learned that her mther was struggling t find a gd methd fr restring 18th-century paintings. The paintings, by Spanish artist Antni Palmin, sat in Sants Juanes— ne f the ldest churches in the city f Valencia.
Bsch said her mther, Pilar Rig, nted hw difficult the restratin prcess at the church was. One reasn was the glue used t remve the paintings frm the walls in the 1960s. The substance was nearly impssible t remve cmpletely.
“My mther had a very difficult prblem t slve and I fund a paper abut bacteria used t clean fresces in Italy,” Bsch said. A fresc is a kind f painting that ften appears acrss a large wall.
Bsch added she decided t write her dctral paper n the same subject. That was mre than ten years ag. Tday, she gets t wrk with her mther n the church restratin (修复). They are using the bacteria methd t remve glue frm artwrks. The $4.46 millin prject is being financed by lcal rganizatins.
The prcess invlves feeding small amunts f the glue— made frm animal cllagen (胶原)— t the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begins t naturally prduce enzymes t break dwn the glue.
The mther-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural algae (藻类)-based substance, called a gel, and places it nt the paintings. They say that after abut three hurs, the gel mixture is remved, leaving the paintings glue-free.
24. Hw did Bsch cme up with the idea?
A. Frm a news reprt.B. Frm a dctr’s interview.
C. Frm smene else’s paper.D. Frm an art prject pster.
25. What des “The substance” underlined in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. A glue.B. A wall.C. A painting.D. A bacterium.
26. Wh is prviding funds fr the church restratin prject?
A. The Spanish gvernment.B. The lcal rganizatins.
C. The mther-daughter team.D. The glbal artist cmmunity.
27. Which is the best title fr the passage?
A. 18th-century Artwrks Discvered n Church Walls.
B. Bacteria Shw Amazing Prmise in Artwrk Creatin.
C. Churches Appeal fr Mre Supprt in Art Restratin.

We all knw hw we use ur senses every day: We might hear a dg barking r taste a crunchy apple. But what if hearing that dg barking als made yu see the clr blue? Or tasting that apple made yu hear a sft musical sund? This culd happen t smene with synesthesia.
Synesthesia is a brain cnditin where the senses mix tgether. Fr a persn with synesthesia (called a “synesthete”), seeing, hearing, r tuching smething can trigger (触发) anther sense. There are many different types f synesthesia. Fr example, chrmesthesia is when sunds are linked t clrs, and grapheme— clr synesthesia is when letters and numbers are linked t clrs. There are many ther variatins t.
S, why des this happen? What makes sme peple taste bananas when they listen t classical music? It might be in their genes. Nearly half f all synesthetes say that a clse family member als has the same cnditin, suggesting that it might be a genetic trait (特质). One thery is that synesthesia happens because f a change in a gene respnsible fr remving unnecessary cnnectins in the brain. When we grw, the brain naturally gets rid f sme f these cnnectins. But if a change ccurs, sme cnnectins might stay, leading t this crss-wiring f senses.
Recent studies have lked at hw synesthesia may benefit thse with the cnditin. Research has fund that peple with synesthesia ften have exceptinal memries. They may als have better senses: thse with clr-related synesthesia can tell different clrs apart mre easily, and thse with tuch-related synesthesia have a mre sensitive tuch. Additinally, synesthesia seems t happen mre ften in artists and pets, which suggests it might bst creativity.
In the future, synesthesia may be helpful in curing diseases invlved with ur brains’ netwrking systems and aiding thse with memry prblems. It has been shwn that synesthesia can be triggered by drugs, lack f sensry input, r hypnsis (催眠). Mre research culd help us imprve cnnectins in the brain and bst memry. Synesthesia is leading t new discveries abut hw ur brains wrk!
28. Which is prbably a specific example f synesthesia?
A. Tasting tmates when eating a pizza.B. Seeing red when hearing the number 14.
C. Remembering a friend when seeing a pht.D. Thinking f Shakespeare when reading Hamlet.
29. What can we learn frm paragraph 2 and 3?
A. Synesthesia ften runs in the family.B. There are nly tw types f synesthesia.
C. Peple will get rid f synesthesia as they age.D. Synesthesia is a prduct f active imaginatin.
30. Which is clsest in meaning t the underlined wrd in paragraph 3?
A. Remval.B. Change.C. Mixing.D. Discnnectin.
31. What is the main idea f the last paragraph?
A. Synesthesia can help peple cnnect with thers.
B. Peple can develp synesthesia with the help f drugs.
C. Recent studies have made prgress in treating synesthesia.
D. Synesthesia will ffer new insight in treating brain diseases.

Mireille Silcff lves t read, but her 12-year-ld daughter des nt share this passin. In a New Yrk Times essay, Silcff recunts her attempts t get her daughter t read, which eventually led her t ffer a $100 bribe. She chse Jenny Han’s The Summer I Turned Pretty, a bk tied t a TV series her daughter already lved. The deal was fr her daughter t finish it within a mnth, but she cmpleted it in just a week and even requested the sequel(续篇), which she read fr “n extra charge.”
Silcff recgnizes that yung peple tday deal with stries differently but believes that bks ffer a unique experience. “Yu knw when an authr sums up a feeling yu didn’t even knw yu’ve had, and a hundred lightbulbs g ff n the tp f yur head?” she reflects, emphasizing that bks allw readers t interact with the stry in ways that screen adaptatins cannt. Althugh it remains t be seen if her daughter has becme a reader fr life, Silcff feels she has pened a new “quiet persnal place” fr her daughter in the wrld f literature, calling it the best mney she ever spent.
While I appreciate Ms. Silcff’s desire t have her daughter experience the jys f reading, I seriusly dubt that paying her daughter t read “wrked.” While the mney reward persuaded her daughter t read the bk in the shrt term, it was unlikely t develp the mtivatin(动力) t read, which must feel like a chice and unpressured.
Decades f research have shwn that paying peple t d things they lve weakens their mtivatin afterwards, and paying them t cmplete tasks they d nt enjy keeps the mtivatin tied t rewards s that they are less likely t value the activity and chse t participate in it n their wn.
The belief in rewards as an effective mtivatr is a myth; ther strategies are mre likely t develp lng-term mtivatin.
Rewards are a simple fix that is likely t backfire.
32. Hw did Silcff encurage her daughter t read?
A. With mney reward.B. With lnger TV time.C. With free new bks.D. With wrds f praise.
33. What did Silcff imply in the underlined wrds in paragraph 2?
A. Reading can take up much f yur time and energy.
B. Bks can help prepare yu fr accidents in yur life.
C. Reading can bring sudden realizatin r understanding.
D. TVs and films can prvide a mre inspiring experience.
34. Regarding Silcff’s methd, the authr expresses cncerns ver __________.
A. its mral principleB. its increasing cst
C. its scial influenceD. its lng-term effectiveness
35. Why des the authr mentin the “decades f research”?
A. T highlight that mtivatin is clsely tied t rewards.
B. T emphasize that kids will read mre under pressure.
C. T suggest that paying kids t read is ptentially useful.
D. T stress that reading shuld be smething kids chse t d.

Hw Yur Brain Plays Tricks n Yu
Yur brain is capable f remarkable things. But yur mind is far frm perfect. Smetimes, it frgets key details, leading yu t make mistakes. 36
Yur mind likes t take shrtcuts
Yur brain can get lazy. When trying t slve a prblem r making a decisin, yur mind ften falls back n slutins that have wrked in the past. Using shrtcuts can be a useful apprach when it allws yu t make decisins quickly. 37 Fr example, plane crashes make yu terrified f flying because yur brain is using a mental shrtcut t fl yu int believing that flying is mre dangerus. In reality, traveling by air is much safer than traveling by car.
Yur thinking is cheated by hidden biases
Smetimes yu judge a persn unfairly. Fr example, if a cafe wrker gets yur rder wrng, yu might decide that they are incmpetent. Maybe they were just verwhelmed by rders. This is called attributinal bias (归因偏见). 38 When it happens, yu seek ut infrmatin that cnfirms what yu already believe, but ignre anything that ppses yur beliefs. These cgnitive biases can prevent yu frm thinking clearly and making wise decisins. They can even affect hw yu interact with the wrld. 39
Yur brain is hard t take in every detail. It can be surprisingly easy t miss majr changes. This is called change blindness. Change blindness might nt seem like a huge prblem, but research has shwn that it can have majr cnsequences. Fr example, peple wh cntrl air traffic can make serius errrs as a result f change blindness. Drivers are als vulnerable t change blindness, which can lead t accidents.
Yur brain likes t play the blame game
40 In the prcess, we misunderstand reality t prtect ur self-esteem. Fr example: When yu gt badly sunburned, rather than acknwledging that yu didn’t reapply sunscreen as ften as yu shuld have, yu decide that the sunscreen itself must have been ineffective. Our brain d s t prtect ur self-esteem and guard us against the fear f failure.

Perfectly Pan-fried Tfu
The familiar smell f garlic, sy sauce, and nin filled the air as I pened my lunch bag t see what my mm had packed fr me. On any ther ccasin, I wuld have been delighted t eat my mm’s braised (炖) pan-fried tfu: a Krean dish that I ften ate fr dinner. But nt tday, the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at schl, t sit with her friends during lunch.
“Charis, ver here!” My new friend was waving her arms, trying t get my attentin.
As I prepared t walk ver t the table, memries f elementary and middle schl lunch times came back t me. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends wuld hld their nses, r simply run away frm me when I brught hmemade Krean fd. I remembered hw my embarrassment shifted t anger when I cmplained abut the smell t my mm.
I had argued with my mm that I wanted “nrmal” fd fr lunch. I remembered the lk n my mm’s face, a mix between disappintment and cnfusin. But I was determined and she gave in because she wrried abut my making new friends every time we mved. S fr the remainder f middle schl, my mm packed smell-less, nn-Krean fd like ham and cheese sandwiches. Hwever, that day, she was in a rush t get t her new jb and packed me leftvers frm dinner.
As sn as I gt t my new lunch table, I tried t sneak my brightly clred lunch bag dwn under my seat befre anyne nticed the strng smell. I lked up t see the ther girls at the table, pening their nrmal American lunches— frm cheese sandwiches t chicken salad trtilla wraps (鸡肉沙拉卷饼) t waffles and fresh fruit sandwiches, everything just lked s nrmal and s American.

Can AI create art?
Recently, the English Sciety at ur schl hsted a lively debate n the thught-prvking tpic, “Can artificial intelligence create art?” The event attracted an enthusiastic audience f arund 600 students, eager t hear bth sides f the argument.
The affirmative team presented cnvincing arguments, shwcasing examples f AI-generated artwrk and emphasizing the innvatin and artistic value behind it. They argued that creativity can be a prduct f algrithms and data analysis. In cntrast, the negative team argued that true art requires human emtin, sul, experience, and intentin, which are qualities that AI lacks. Besides, even if AI culd prduce smething alike, it wuld lse the persnal tuch and emtinal impact f traditinal artwrks.
After a heated exchange f ideas and a Q&A sessin, the judges annunced that the negative team wn. They impressed everyne with their strng reasning and persuasive delivery. The debate nt nly sparked interest in AI and creativity but als encuraged students t think critically abut the rle f technlgy in art and in real life.

“I’m nt really hungry,” I replied in a weak vice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch s she called ut, “Then, I’ll eat it!” The ther girls laughed. I didn’t want t be rude t my ptential new friends, s I reluctantly dragged ut my lunch bag and unzipped it. The mment I partially lifted the lid, a strng smell flating in the air, the girls curiusly gazed at the cntainer. I expected an “Ew” r a “What is that?” I expected them t turn away— and turn me away. What I did nt expect was fr Katrina t instantly grab a small piece f tfu and eat it eagerly. Mst certainly, I did nt expect her t encurage the rest f the table t try my lunch.
It tk me a secnd t recgnize that my freign, Krean fd was nt being rejected. In fact, it had becme a surce f persnal pride. My new friends were ging n abut hw lucky I was that my mm tk the time t prepare a cked meal fr me. They were fascinated by the fact that tfu culd actually taste gd. As we chatted and shared stries, we ended up exchanging ur lunches, and I received quite a few bites f their American fd. While I didn’t get t eat any f my mm’s pan-fried tfu, I was full f pride and gratitude. When I arrived hme and my mm asked abut the lunch with a wave f guilt and uncertainty in her tne, I brightly flashed her a smile, “Mm, it was perfect!” I was mved t realize that mm’ s cking had nt nly nurished me but als helped me strengthen cnnectins.
