Aline, a 26-year-ld frm a western African cuntry, wakes up early each day at her experimental statin in Quzhu, Hebei prvince, where she is engaged in hands-n agricultural research as part f the Science and Technlgy Backyard (STB) prgram. This initiative, launched by China Agricultural University (CAU), invlves students tackling agricultural challenges in rural areas t cultivate （培养） talented agricultural prfessinals and supprt rural mdernizatin, particularly fr smallhlder farmers in Africa.
Since her arrival, Aline has been busy with varius farming tasks, such as cllecting crp samples and analyzing plant grwth metrics （指标）. She values her interactins with lcal farmers, which help her understand the practical applicatins f her research and the real issues they face. Currently, Aline is studying the grwth patterns f maize under different envirnmental cnditins.
Similarly, Matthews Kafunda, a 27-year-ld frm Malawi, is participating in the STB prgram. He believes that the cmbinatin f theretical knwledge and practical experience fsters agricultural innvatin. Matthews plans t prmte the STB mdel in Malawi t influence the expertise he has gained fr the benefit f smallhlder farmers.
Since 2022, students frm Malawi have launched three STB prgrams, helping ver200 lcal farmers. The prgram fllws a “1+1+1” talent training mdel: students spend their first year studying at CAU, then engage in practical wrk in Quzhu, and finally return t Africa t apply what they’ve learned.
This cmprehensive apprach nt nly enhances students ’skills but als prmtes the implement f agricultural technlgies, cntributing t the advancement f agriculture. Recently, CAU signed a partnership agreement with Malawi University t establish an Africa center, aiming t create a demnstratin area in Africa fr high agricultural yields and effective resurce usage, thereby extending the benefits t mre cuntries acrss the cntinent.

T advance sft rbtics, skin-integrated electrnics and bimedical devices, researchers at Penn State have created a 3D-printed, sft, and stretchable material that turns int a high-cnductivity （导电性） device withut the need fr secndary activatin （激活）. This advancement addresses the limitatins f previus methds, which ften resulted in lwer cnductivity r device failures.
“Peple have been develping sft and stretchable cnductrs fr almst a decade, but the cnductivity is nt usually very high,” said Ta Zhu, a prfessr f engineering science. “Researchers realized they culd reach high cnductivity with liquid metal-based cnductrs, but the significant limitatin f that is that it requires a secndary methd t activate the material befre it can reach a high cnductivity.” The secndary activatin methds include stretching, cmpressing, shear frictin, and laser activatin, all f which can lead t challenges in prductin and can cause the liquid metal t leak, resulting in device failure.
The methd des nt require any secndary activatin t make the material cnductive. In the new methd, the researchers cmbine liquid metal and a cnductive mixture called PEDOT, which enables the liquid metal t transfrm int particles. When the sft material is printed and heated, the liquid metal particles n its bttm surface self-assemble int a cnductive pathway. The particles in the tp layer are expsed t an xygen-rich envirnment and xidize, frming an insulated （绝缘） tp layer. The cnductive layer is critical fr cnveying infrmatin t the sensr —such as muscle activity recrdings and strain sensing n the bdy —while the insulated layer helps prevent signal leakage that culd lead t less accurate data cllectin.
The material can als be 3D-printed, Zhu said, making it easier t prduce wearable devices. The researchers are cntinuing t explre ptential applicatins, with a fcus n assistive technlgy fr peple with disabilities. This develpment culd significantly impact the fields f sft rbtics, skin-integrated electrnics, and bimedical devices by prviding a mre efficient and reliable material.
28. What is the main purpse f develping the nvel material?
A. T reduce the cst f rbtics manufacturing.
B. T enhance cnductivity and device reliability.
C. T imprve the cnductivity f traditinal materials.
D. T replace existing cnductivity materials in the market.
29. Hw des the new methd differ frm traditinal nes?
A. It uses mre expensive materials.
B. It results in a rarer cnductive material.
C. It saves the need fr secndary activatin.
D. It requires mre cmplex cnductive prcesses.
30. What is the functin f the cnductive layers in the new material?
A. Prcessing infrmatin.B. Securing the accuracy f statistics.
C. Stpping signal frm leaking.D. Delivering data t the sensr.
31. What d researchers expect abut wearable devices accrding t the last paragraph?
A. Higher data cllectin reliability.B. Cmplete replacement f human bdies.
C. Cnvenient 3D-printing at hme.D. Better integratin with the human bdy.

The beliefs we hld develp frm a cmplex dance between ur internal and external lives. Our persnal cgnitin （认知） and ur relatinships with thers wrk tgether t shape ur views f the wrld and influence hw we update thse views when we encunter new infrmatin, a study by Dalegenas Dalege frm the University f Amsterdam indicates.
In the past, these tw levels f belief have been studied individually: psychlgists have mdeled the individual-level cgnitive prcesses while researchers in scial science and statistical physics have ffered insights int hw beliefs spread and change within a sciety. This discnnect when different disciplines are ding parallel （平行的） wrk limits prgress.
The new study published in Psychlgical Review presents the Netwrks f Beliefs thery, which is designed t integrate the interplay f individual—and scial—level belief dynamics （动力）, and als include scial beliefs: hw individuals perceive the beliefs f thse arund them. The thery is the first t clearly distinguish between persnal, scial, and external disharmny.
T fully understand when and why individuals change their beliefs and hw the dissnance tgether lead t different scial phenmena, the researchers created a mdel f their new thery, using a methd f statistical physics. “We map psychlgical cncepts nt statistical physics cncepts,” explains Dalege, “Then we represent these ptential disagreements as energy and attentin as temperature, which ultimately describes hw beliefs change when we pay attentin t different parts f ur belief system.”
The mdel, which has been prved in large surveys, culd be applied t a variety f real-wrld prblems. It culd, fr instance, ffer new tls fr tackling the increase in plarizatin （两极分化） arund the wrld. “T understand and be able t d smething abut plarizatin, we have t lk beynd just the individual r scial answer,” says Dalege.
32. What are the tw levels f the belief we hld?
A. Persnal and scial.B. Theretical and practical.
C. Cgnitive and affective.D. Psychlgical and physical.
33. Hw can we describe the Netwrks f Beliefs thery accrding t the third paragraph?
A. Alternative.B. Impractical.C. Old-fashined.D. Grund-breaking.
34. What des “dissnance” refer t accrding t Dalege?
A. The unpredictability f persnal beliefs.
B. The incmpleteness f individual beliefs.
C. The cnflict between new and existing beliefs.
D. The misunderstanding f a belief as a standard.
35. What des Dalege try t infrm the readers in the last paragraph?
A. A variety f prblems the wrld is faced with.
B. The practical value f the Netwrks f Beliefs thery.
C. The mst efficient slutin t the glbal plarizatin.
D. The drawback f the Netwrks f Beliefs thery mdel.

Stephanie, a freshman at East Peria High Schl, had just finished her secnd day f classes, filled with excitement. Eager t enjy the warm afternn, she decided t take her bicycle ut fr a ride. The wind rushed past her, refreshing her spirit as she sped dwn a hill. Hwever, in a cruel twist f fate, disaster struck. She suddenly lst cntrl f her bike. The wrld arund her seemed t slw dwn as she felt the bike slam int the grund. In a hrrifying mment, she realized that ne f the bike’s handle grips （车把） was missing, which left a sharp, expsed metal pipe that pierced her right leg, severed her artery （动脉） and flded her bdy with intense pain.
Panic set in as she lay n the grund, her mind racing. A severed artery can cause rapid bld lss, leading t uncnsciusness and death within minutes. Stephanie felt herself slipping away, believing she wuldn’t survive.
But in the midst f her anguish, help was n the way.
Kupris, wh had been wrking n a wdwrking prject nearby, heard the chas, drpped his tls and rushed utside. His heart raced as he dashed alng a blck, driven by a desperate desire t assist.
