The day my sn Nick was brn, lsing a child became my biggest fear. When yu lve smene that vastly, the idea f them n lnger being in yur wrld is unbearable. Eighteen years and tw mnths after that day, I was suddenly frced t face that fear. Had it nt been fr my fifteen-year-ld daughter, Anna, I wuldn’t have made it past the first few weeks.
That’s when my 15-year-ld daughter Anna sat beside me, her hands trembling. “Mm,” she whispered, “can smene really die f a brken heart?” Her questin sliced thrugh the fg f my sadness. I suddenly realized smething.
At Nick’s memrial service, my friend Julia, an artist, handed me a bx filled with glue, trn magazine pages, paint, and ribbns. “Yu need t create,” she said firmly. At first, I didn’t understand. But that night, I spread the materials n the kitchen table. I tre paper vilently, burned edges with a candle, and splattered red paint like bldstains. It wasn’t pretty, but it felt true.
Mnths later, I fund Nick’s playlist. A sng called Belved caught my heart. Its lyrics abut lve and lss inspired me t paint again. The first painting was all black and white—bare trees under heavy snw. It felt like my sul. But slwly, clr crept in. In the secnd painting, a tiny yellw butterfly appeared in the glm. The third shwed a field with greener grass, the butterfly grwing brighter. By the seventh painting, the butterfly had transfrmed int a phenix (凤凰) with rainbw wings, rising int a glden sky.
The series hangs n my living rm wall, a cnstant reminder f the beginning f a prcess that will cntinue fr the rest f my life. I still find myself creating art that reflects my grief. But, mre and mre ften, I can paint images purely fr enjyment as the shadw fades and my life slidifies. And Anna n lnger wrries abut lsing me t a brken heart. Instead, she has becme quite the artist herself and brightens my days even mre with her wn creatins.
24. What might the authr realize n hearing Anna’s questin in paragraph 2?
A. Nick died f a brken heart.
B. Anna culdn’t affrd t lse her mther.
C. It was a heartbreak fr Anna t lse her brther.
D. Anna wasn’t satisfied with the status qu f the family.

B. Her friend hped the authr culd get thrugh the dark times.
C. The bx wuld serve as a reminder f a friend’s lve and care.
D. Creating was useful fr the authr t withdraw frm the reality.

B. The authr gradually realized her ptential as a painter.
C. The authr eventually understd her friend’s intentin.
D. The authr slwly healed herself in the prcess f creating.

Many peple assume mthers are the main cntact fr kids, even when dads are available. Schls, dctrs, and thers ften call mms first, interrupting their wrk r persnal time. Research shws this isn’t just a feeling—it’s backed by data.
A few years ag, Kristy Buzard, an ecnmist at Syracuse University, and her clleagues psed as fictitius (虚假的) parents and emailed mre than 80,000 schl principals, saying they were searching fr a schl fr their child and asking fr a call back. The researchers fund that the principals were 40 percent mre likely t call the pretend mthers back than the pretend fathers.
Part f the reasn, Buzard psited, is “this cre belief that mms are mre available and are ging t be mre respnsive.” Katy Milkman, a behaviral ecnmist, thught this reflected deep-rted steretypes (刻板印象) abut mthers as caregivers. “Peple jump t cnclusins withut thinking,” said Milkman.
Outdated technlgy als plays a rle. Schls and dctrs’ ffices ften use ld sftware that can’t update cntact details easily. Fr example, if a dad becmes the main caregiver after a mm returns t wrk, systems might still default (默认) t her number. Jen Shu, a physicist, explained, “Our systems aren’t smart enugh t switch pririties.”
While many mms are the primary cntact, treating them as the default when they dn’t want t be adds stress. Unwanted calls interrupt their jbs, and passing tasks t dads isn’t always simple. One survey fund mms are 30% mre likely than dads t cnsider asking their partner fr help is “trublesme” because they still end up managing the task.
Dads face frustratin t. When schls r dctrs ignre their rle, it creates extra steps. One father, Rauzn, manages his sn’s asthma (哮喘) care but gets left ut f calls. Anther dad, Estes, wrks frm hme but day care cntacts his ffice-wrking wife when their sn is sick. “Peple assume dads are just there fr decratin,” he said.
The prblem isn’t just unfair—it hurts families. Many dads want t share parenting duties, and families functin better when they d. As ne researcher put it, “It’s time fr everyne else t catch n.”
28. Why des the authr mentin Kristy’s research?
A. T explain a cmplex scial issue.B. T supprt a cmmn assumptin.
C. T clarify the different rles in families.D. T present a strange scial phenmenn.
29. What can’t accunt fr the fact that mthers are usually first cntacted abut kids’ prblems?
A. Mms are seen as mre respnsive.
B. Mms are generally cnsidered freer.
C. Fathers are mre likely t avid their duties.
D. Outdated systems struggle t update cntact details.
30. What can be learned frm the 5th and 6th paragraphs?
A. Mst mms embrace help frm their partner.
B. Sme dads feel upset when their rle is ignred.
C. Many mms think it is a burden t care abut kids.
D. In mst families, dads are just there fr decratin.
31. What is mst likely t be talked abut in the next paragraph?
A. The key t making families functin better.
B. The significance f bringing up kids fr parents.
C. The methd t free mms frm the unneeded calls.
D. The appraches t invlving dads in parenting duties.

Recent research suggests that using digital devices like smartphnes and tablets might actually help prtect brain functin in lder adults rather than harm it. A review f 57 studies invlving ver 400,000 peple aged 50 and lder fund that thse wh regularly used technlgy shwed slwer mental decline cmpared t thse wh used it less. These findings, published in Nature Human Behaviur, challenge cncerns that screen time causes “digital dementia”.
Scientists analyzed data frm adults wrldwide, with an average age f 69, wh had taken cgnitive (认知的) tests r received memry-related tests. Results shwed n prf that a lifetime f using digital technlgy drives mental decline. Rather, they fund that using a cmputer, smartphne, the internet r sme cmbinatin f these was assciated with a lwer risk f cgnitive issues. Hwever, researchers warn that the relatinship isn’t fully understd. It’s pssible that peple with mre incisive minds are mre likely t use technlgy, but tech might als prvide brain-bsting benefits.
“We think the three Cs might be imprtant: cmplexity, cnnectin and cmpensatry (补偿的) behaviurs,” Dr. Jared Benge tld the Guardian. Digital tls culd help peple engage in cmplex activities and bst their scial cnnectins, bth f which appeared t be gd fr the ageing brain, he said. The technlgy als allwed peple t cmpensate fr cgnitive decline and functin mre easily, fr example by using GPS t find their way r setting reminders t pay bills r take medicines, he added. He als emphasized that hw devices are used matters. Passive activities like watching shws may nt help, but mentally stimulating tasks—learning new apps, researching tpics, r staying scially cnnected—likely play a psitive rle.
Sam Gilbert, a prfessr f cgnitive neurscience at University Cllege Lndn, said the study shwed “a clear link” between digital technlgy usage and preserved cgnitive ability in lder age. “The explanatin fr this link is still nt fully clear: we cannt be sure whether technlgy usage itself preserves cgnitive ability, whether preserved cgnitive ability leads t mre frequent use f technlgy, r–mst likely–sme cmbinatin f the tw. Nevertheless, this wrk suggests that using digital technlgy can be gd fr brain health.”
32. What can yu learn abut “digital dementia”?
A. It refers t technlgy-related memry r thinking prblems.
B. It shws the effect f digital devices n users’ physical health.
C. It implies slwer mental decline by using technlgy regularly.
D. It describes a special phenmenn f emplying digital devices.
33. What des the underline wrd “incisive” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Brilliant. B. Sharp.C. Optimistic. D. Suspicius.
34. Accrding t Jared Benge, why des using digital devices benefit the elderly?
A. It can free them frm their scial cntacts.
B. Digital devices usage can rid them f cmplex activities.
C. Using digital devices t learn new skills can stimulate their minds.
D. Digital devices usage can bst their brain functin t a higher level.
35. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Using digital device is a necessity t brain develpment.
B. Preserved cgnitive ability leads t using digital devices.
C. Technlgy usage prtects brain functin and cgnitive ability.
D. Mre research is needed t further explain the research findings.
