In present-day Rmania, a decreasing number f craftsmen practice what's thught t be a centuries-ld craft. They search the frest fr a fungus (真菌)，which grws within trees and sends ut shelf-like mushrms a few inches wide. The fungus is shaved lengthwise int thin strips. Thse strips are then stretched t frm brad sheets, which can be crafted int hats, bags, jewelry, and rnaments. As far back as 1903，Tlingit craftsmen in what is nw the state f Alaska were recrded crafting purses ut f a material frm agarikn fungus.
Hwever, the craftsmen's prcess in the early times was abut searching fr materials, nt cultivating them fr mass prductin. Tday, the bitechnlgy cmpany MycWrks in the US is pineering in cultivating mycelium(菌丝体).Mycelium is a structural wnder sft, dense, and strng， making it a great ptential replacement fr leather.
The peratin starts with agricultural waste,like sawdust(锯末)，which is heated t remve existing micrbial life. Once dne, it ges int deep plates f varying sizes. Then fungus jins the party, digesting and grwing. In sme cases，fabric can be added fr the mycelium t weave
arund. The sheet f mycelium is eventually peeled ff the wd blcks, and grwth cmes t an end, It can be easily mistaken fr traditinal leather,MycWrks is ne f a wave f innvatrs, all f whm assume that a better understanding f mycelium can redefine the limits f fashin and design. In recent years, MycWrks' prducts have been used in designer bags and pillws, CEOMatt Scullin praises mycelium as a material in fashin,“It has a bit f a sft tuch, and it has a bunce. It can absrb the ils and heat frm yur fingers when yu tuch it. "“The early effrts appear t be mre mral, and imprve ec-ftprint. Prducts made frm such material are fully bidegradable-allwing fr a future in which dealing with an ld pair f shes might mean simply cmpsting(堆肥) them," he added.
28.What is the authr's purpse in writing the first paragraph?
A. T stress the histry f grwing mushrms.
B.T intrduce a fashin inspired by mushrms.
C. T shw ancient mushrm grwing techniques.
D. T present the nvel use f mushrms in fashin.
29.What des paragraph 3 fcus n abut mycelium?
A. Its grwing prcess, B.Its high quality.
C.Its shrtcmings. D. Its wrking life.
30. Why des Matt Scullin think f mycelium as an ec-friendly material?
A. It is straightfrward t grw. B. It ffers a rugh feel.
C. It prmtes sustainability. D. It is il-and-heat resistant.
31.Which can be the best title fr the text?

When yu hear the wrd “uncertainty", hw d yu feel? Scared,anxius,excited r challenged? With many glbal challenges still nging, we are likely t face even mre f the unknwn, s we had better get accustmed t managing it.
S hw d we detect uncertainty and which part f the brain is respnsible fr it? Researchers have fund that nradrenaline(去甲肾上腺素)is the key chemical invlved in ur respnse t uncertainty.
T investigate the rle nradrenaline plays when we are faced with uncertain events, scientists at Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy cnducted an experiment with mice.The animals were trained t push a lever (杠杆)dwn when they heard a high frequency nise.lf they did this, they were rewarded with a drink f water. They were als trained t learn that they'd receive an unpleasant puff f air if the lever was activated when a lw frequency nise was played. But the researchers added in an element f uncertainty by including a sund where the frequency was unclear,
Frm this experiment, the rescarchers discvered that a small part in the brain called the lcus ceruleus-an area that mdulates nradrenaline-was essential in detecting uncertainty, When the high frequency was clear and the reward was expected fr the mice, their nradrenaline release was small. But when the utcme wasn't clear, and the reward was a surprise, the release was much larger. This was hw the mice's brains learned t deal with uncertainty.
A study with humans was als carried ut. They discvered that the subjects' neurns (神经元)in the prefrntal crtex(前额叶皮质)respnd much mre t lss than t gain. Namely,this area rules ur avidance behaviur when we are under stress.This helps us undlerstand ur unwillingness t expse urselves t uncertainty.
Once we understand that ur cgnitive and emtinal-respnses t uncertainty are a necessary part f the human experience. Acknwledge instead f fear them, perhaps making big decisins can seem less stressful.
32. What is the uncertainty in the experiment with mice?
A. The high frequency nise, B. A drink f water as a reward.
C.The actin t push a lever dwn. D. The nise with unclear frequency.
33.What des the underlined wrd “mdulates" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Lessens. B.Remves. C.Adjusts D. Bsts.
34.Hw des the prefrntal crtex influence ur chices when we're stressed?
A. By aviding negative utcme. B.By maintaining balance.
C.By seeking rewarding utcme. D.By reducing uncertainty.
35. What des the authr want t tell us in the text?
A. Uncertainty gives birth t ptential risks.
B.Respnses t uncertainty cme naturally.
C.Experiments can predict expected utcmes,
D. Nradrenaline tends t result frm uncertainty.
