Jn Batiste, a big figure in the music wrld, views revisiting classic wrks as a glden pprtunity, as seen in his latest album（专辑） “Beethven Blues,” where he gives new life t Beethven's cmpsitins. He perceives a universal and pwerful essence in Beethven's music, similar t that in the blues.
Batiste served as a bandleader fr “The Late Shw with Stephen Clbert” until 2022 and is nw n the bard at The Juilliard Schl. And he has received numerus Grammy nminatins（提名） and wins acrss diverse musical categries.

Batiste maintains the idea that classical music, Beethven's wrks included, is suitable fr refrmatin. There is a need t break away frm the traditinal perceptin f classical music. Fr instance, in his album, he starts with “Für Elise”, a piece familiar t many, and adds his wn creative tuches.
Hwever, Batiste's jurney at Juilliard was nt withut challenges. As an ambitius teenager frm Luisiana, his uncnventinal pursuits utside the classrm smetimes cnflicted with the schl's expectatins.

Scientists have uncvered a crucial piece in the puzzle f dinsaur feather evlutin（羽毛进化）. Sme feathered dinsaurs, alng with their characteristic sharp teeth and large bdies, als had skin similar t that f mdern reptiles（爬行动物）. Feathers likely develped in specific areas f the dinsaur’s bdy, while ther parts were cvered in reptilian scales（鳞片）. A study published in the jurnal Nature Cmmunicatins details these findings, prviding new insights int the evlutinary shift frm scales t feathers.
Feathers serve a variety f functins beynd flight. Fr instance, peaccks use them t attract mates. Penguins benefit frm reduced drag when they dive underwater, and herns can even use their feathers t create shade. Mst feathered dinsaurs, such as therpds and saurpds, prbably used feathers t keep warm.
Maria McNamara, a scientist at University Cllege Crk in Ireland and a c-authr f the study, cmmented that the shift frm reptilian scales t feathers is a crucial milestne in vertebrate（脊椎动物的） evlutin. This phenmenn, despite being the fcus f substantial research, still resists cmplete understanding. Althugh numerus feather fssils have been studied, fssilized skin is extremely rare.
In this research, a team frm University Cllege Crk and Nanjing University in China examined a rare fssilized skin sample f the feathered dinsaur Psittacsaurus. This small, tw-legged, hrned dinsaur lived in what is nw Mnglia and China during the early Cretaceus perid, arund 135—120 millin years ag, when dinsaurs were starting t evlve int birds.
The research team used a device which sent ut ultravilet light（紫外线） t identify areas f preserved Psittacsaurus skin, which are invisible under natural light. Further inspectin with X-rays and infrared light revealed the preserved cellular structure. T their surprise, the fssilized skin was made f silica, the same cmpund（化合物） as glass. This type f preservatin has never been fund in vertebrate fssils befre.
The team believes that sfter, mre bird-like skin might have initially develped nly in the feathered parts f the dinsaur's bdy, while the rest f the skin resembled the scales f mdern reptiles. This zned develpment wuld have retained essential skin functins, like prtectin against abrasin, dehydratin, and parasites. As a result, the first dinsaurs t develp feathers culd survive and pass n the genes fr feathers t their later generatins.
8．What's the significance f the study?
A．It challenges ur understanding f dinsaurs.
B．It helps better understand hw scales frmed.
C．It prvides crucial evidence fr vertebrate evlutin.
D．It reveals hw dinsaurs became extinct.
9．What message des Maria McNamara deliver?
A．Feathers evlved frm scales very quickly.
B．The evlutinary prcess remains partly unknwn.
C．There is an urgent demand fr mre feather fssils.
D．Feathers are necessary in dinsaurs’ defence mechanism.
10．What can be learned abut the research?
A．It lacked internatinal cperatin.B．It ignred the diversity f dinsaur species.
C．It emplyed multiple advanced technlgies.D．It mainly fcused n the dinsaur's appearance.
11．What des the underlined wrd “retained” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Preserved.B．Transfrmed.C．Stimulated.D．Remved.
Ask students t describe their brain, and they're likely t suggest a cmputer, a cmmand center, r maybe a lightning-fast cmmunicatins netwrk. But they’d be better ff thinking f the brain as a muscle that gets strnger with use. Researchers nw understand that IQ isn’t fixed at birth. Just as we get mre physically fit frm exercising, we can build brainpwer thrugh the act f learning.
Children wh adpt what psychlgist Carl Dweck calls a grwth mindset（思维模式）understand that intelligence isn't fixed but can be develped thrugh effrt. In Mindset, Dweck explains why students wh have a grwth mindset are mre willing t tackle challenges, learn frm failure, and see criticism as useful feedback（反馈） rather than an excuse t give up. This is the kind f thinking that keeps students mtivated, even when learning is hard wrk.
The gd news is that even the mindset isn't fixed. A grwth mindset can be learned and enhanced by messages that praise persistence and set high expectatins. Fr example, help students understand that challenging assignments will stretch their “thinking muscles.” At the same time, prvide them with necessary supprt s they dn't get discuraged.
It is widely believed that all brains are nt equal and that cntext and ability influence learning. The brain cnnects new infrmatin t the ld and can be changed by experience.
Effective teaching strategies help students mve tward higher-rder thinking, r what neurlgists call executive（执行） functin. As prfessr Judy Willis, MD explains, “When educatrs ffer students chances t put their learning int practice, particularly by engaging them in genuine, persnally relevant activities accmpanied by frmative assessments and crrective feedback thrughut a unit, the facts students learn are n lnger rte（死记硬背） memry. Instead, these facts becme slidly integrated int an intercnnected memry framewrk, rather than being deserted due t lack f use.”
Of curse, all this brain activity is happening in a unique way fr each student. By addressing learners’ individual needs, educatrs can help students strengthen the bnds that will lead t deeper understanding.
12．Why des the authr cmpare the brain t a muscle?
A．T prve they pssess memry cells.
B．T shw they can be strengthened thrugh exercise.
C．T emphasize they transprt infrmatin quickly.
D．T illustrate they are imprtant rgans f the bdy.
13．What are children with a grwth mindset like accrding t Dweck?
A．They tend t shy away frm truble.
B．They prefer psitive feedback frm thers.
C．They regard intelligence as an unchangeable quality.
D．They view barriers as pprtunities fr persnal grwth.
14．Which f the fllwing enhances executive functin?
A．Creative engagement.B．Organizing activities persnally.
C．Engaging in direct interactin.D．Cmplete independence.
15．What can be the best title fr the text?
A．IQ and Its Influence n Learning
B．The Grwth Mindset: A Key t Difficulty-Slving
C．The Significance f Executive Functin in Educatin
D．Brainpwer Building: Encurage a Grwth Mindset

Vlcanic ash frm Iceland’ s Eyjafjallajökull made Eurpe’ s airprts shut dwn fr nearly a week, leaving thusands f passengers stranded（滞留） acrss the glbe. Amng them was Agnes's mther, Sphia Atila Kafu, wh was stuck at Schiphl Airprt in Amsterdam, nearly 4,000 miles away frm Agnes, wh was in Canada, waiting fr her mther t attend her graduatin ceremny.
