La Zi nce said,"Care abut what ther peple think and yu will always be their prisner."
Peple tend t gain self-wrth thrugh thers'apprval(认可),which is a fruitless way t g thrugh life.Why d we allw what thers think f us t have s much pwer ver hw we feel abut urselves?If it's true that yu can't satisfy all the peple all the time,wuldn't it make sense t stp trying?
Unfrtunately,sense ften isn't driving ur behavir.Fr scial beings wh desire lve and belnging, wanting t be liked and caring abut the effect we have n thers are healthy and allw us t make cnnectins.Hwever,where we get int truble is when ur self-wrth is dependent upn whether we win smene's apprval r nt.
This need t be liked cmes frm when we were children and were cmpletely dependent n thers t take care f us.Small children are nt just learning hw t walk and cmmunicate,they are als trying t learn hw the wrld wrks.We learn abut wh we are based n cmmunicatins with thers.Thus,t a fur-year-ld,if Mmmy r Daddy desn't like him r her,there is the danger that they will abandn them. We need t understand that when we anxiusly want smene t apprve f us,it's being driven by that little kid part f us that is still terrified f abandnment.
As yu becme mre capable f prviding yurself with the apprval yu find,yur need fr validatin (确认)by thers willstart t disappear,leaving yu strnger,mre cnfident,and yes,happier in yur life. Imagine hw much time we lse each mment we restrain ur real selves in an effrt t be liked.
S embrace the cliché (老话)and lve yur true self as it's highly dubtful that yu'll regret it

A.T lead int the tpic f this passage.
B.T stress the imprtance f caring abut thers.
C.T shw us hw t avid being a prisner.
D.T intrduce a famus histrical figure.
29.What des the authr say abut why peple expect thers'apprval?
A.They want t feel better than thers. B.They are trying nt t be abandned.
C.They believe it will bring them sense f pride. D.They cnsider that apprval equals success.
30.What des the wrd "restrain"mst likely mean in the passage?
A.Express. B.Hide. C.Cnfirm. D.Reflect.

Dgs have an extrardinary ability t find their way hme after being separated frm their wners,a skill that has been studied widely.Previus studies believed dgs gt this ability frm their ancestrs,the gray wlves,which needed t navigate (导航)large lands.Dgs likely created a mental map f their surrundings,with their sense f smell playing a particularly imprtant rle.Their sense f smell was up t 100,000 times strnger than humans',allwing them t fllw the smell and recgnize places by sight, sund,and smell.
Recently,a study in Czechia has explred hw dgs navigate when lst.Researchers fllwed 27 hunting dgs during ver 600 trials in unfamiliar wded areas.GPS trackers and cameras were used t mnitr the dgs'behavir.Mst f the dgs used their sense f smell t retrace their steps and find their wners.Hwever,abut 30%emplyed a strategy called the "cmpass (指南针)run",where they ran alng a nrth-suth axis befre switching t a scent trail.This suggested the dgs might be using Earth's magnetic field(磁场)t guide them.
Study c-authr Hynek Burda,prfessr at Germany's University f Duisburg-Essen,explained,"We have nt yet fund final evidence that the dgs used magnetic clues fr navigatin,but this is the mst reasnable explanatin."Researchers believe that dgs may cmbine their mental map with magnetic clues t navigate when lst.
Althugh these studies shw dgs'impressive navigatin skills,such jurneys are becming less cmmn as dgs nw frm strng bnds with their wners.Mnique Udell,directr f the Human-Animal Interactin Labratry at Oregn State University,explained,"Dgs raised with humans can frm bnds t humans similar t child-parent attachments,with a strng will t reunite when separated."
T reduce the need fr such incredible jurneys,it's significant fr dg wners t ensure their pets have prper identificatin,like a micrchip r cllar with cntact details.This makes reuniting lst dgs with their families easier.
32.Hw d dgs find their way hme when lst accrding t previus studies?
A.They nly rely n their strng sense f smell. B.They make use f the cmpass t guide them.
C.They depend n a mental map t tell places. D.They have t navigate large lands like wlves.
33.Which ne is crrect abut the study in Czechia?
A.The dgs were trained t fllw specific rutes.
B.Man-made magnetic fields are adpted as a navigatr.
C.Owners guided the dgs back hme by building bnds.
D.Researchers mnitred the dgs using tracking devices.
34.What attitude did Hynek Burda hld twards the findings?
A.Negative. B.Disapprving. C.Optimistic. D.Unclear.
35.What are recmmended fr the wners t help dgs reunite?
A.T ensure dgs have prper identificatin. B.T spend mre time utdrs with dgs.
C.T teach dgs t fllw certain rutes. D.T build bnds by keeping them indrs.

Ladies and gentlemen,
It is a great hnr t share my thughts n whether we shuld keep learning freign languages in the era f artificial intelligence.In my view,my answer is definitely yes
First,language is mre than a cmmunicatin tl—it is a bridge t different cultures.While AI can translate wrds,it struggles t cnvey emtins and cntexts accurately.Besides,studying a freign language strengthens prblem-slving abilities and critical thinking.Furthermre,language skills ffer a cmpetitive edge in a glbalized jb market,which guarantees mre pprtunities.
Fr the reasns abve,learning freign languages remains crucial,even in the AI era.
Thank yu!
