When I was grwing up, my mm ften said that n matter what grades I gt in schl, as lng as I did my best, she’d be prud f me. Then she added, “But if yu didn’t get an A, I’ll knw yu didn’t d yur best.” She said it with a smile, but I tk it seriusly: I shuldn’t settle fr anything less than perfect. My greatest weakness is that I’m t much f a perfectinist.
Perfectinism is the desire t be 100% perfect. The gal is zer faults and n failures. In an increasingly cmpetitive wrld, kids face grwing pressure frm parents t be perfect and severe criticism when they fall shrt. Every fault is a blw t their self-esteem (自尊). I’ve lived it myself.
When I wn the fifth-grade quiz bwl n wrld explrers, I beat myself up afterward fr missing ne questin. Hw culd I frget that the sea rute t India was discvered by da Gama, but nt Magellan? When I made the finals f a Mrtal Kmbat turnament and wn a lifetime pass t a lcal mvie theater, I didn’t celebrate. Third place is the secnd lser. When I wn the first prize in a math test, I was disappinted. Only a 98? Nt gd enugh. There was always a vice in the back f my mind whispering that it wasn’t enugh and that I culd have dne better.
It was during my cllege years that I started t questin the value f this perfectinism. I met peple wh didn’t seem t be weighed dwn by the same expectatins, wh accepted their mistakes and saw them as pprtunities fr grwth rather than failures. They taught me that it was kay t be imperfect, that it was human t make mistakes, and that smetimes, the mst imprtant lessns cme frm ur failures.
24. What is paragraph 1 mainly abut?
A. The reasns fr the authr’s perfectinism.
B. The disadvantages f being a perfectinist.
C. The feeling f being grateful t the authr’s mther.
D. The ways f the authr’s achieving gd grades at schl.
25.What made the authr unsatisfied with what had been achieved?
A. Blame frm parents.B. Pressure f cmpetitins.
C. Desire t be perfect.D. Eagerness t get first prize.
26. What caused the authr t change the attitude twards perfectinism?
A. Lsing expectatin t succeed.B. Realizing the harm f being perfect.
C. Learning lessns frm ther peple’s failure.D. Encuntering thse accepting imperfectin.
27. Which clumn f a magazine may the text be taken frm?
A. Parenting Styles.B. Cming-f-Age Stries.
C. Peple f Achievement.D. Challenges Facing Yuth.

Nichlas Dames has taught Literature Humanities at Clumbia University since 1998. He lves the jb, but it has changed. Over the past decade, students have becme bewildered by the thught f finishing multiple bks a semester. This develpment puzzled Dames until a first-year student shared hw challenging she had fund the early assignments. The student said that at her public high schl, she was nly assigned passages, but nt entire bks. “My jaw drpped,” Dames tld me. This helped explain the change: It’s nt that they dn’t want t read. It’s that they dn’t knw hw.
Failing t cmplete a 14-line pem withut giving in t distractin (干扰) suggests ne familiar explanatin fr the decrease in reading ability: smartphnes. Teenagers are cnstantly drawn by their devices. Reading bks, even fr pleasure, can’t cmpete with TikTk. In 1976, abut 40 percent f high-schl senirs said they had read at least six bks fr fun in the previus year, cmpared with 11.5 percent wh hadn’t read any. By 2022, thse percentages had flipped.
But high schl kids appear t be encuntering fewer and fewer bks in the classrm as well. Since the ability t read an entire bk is difficult t assess, teachers fcus n skills that are easier t measure. They have shifted frm bks t shrt passages, fllwed by questins abut the authr’s main idea, just as standardized reading-cmprehensin tests d.
Faced with this situatin, many cllege prfessrs feel they have n chice but t assign less reading and lwer their expectatins. This means students will miss ut n the mental develpment that cmes frm reading entire bks. Reading enlarges yur sympathies. Deep reading — sustained fcus n a text — encurages a number f valuable mental habits, including critical thinking and self-reflectin, in ways that skimming r reading in shrt passages des nt.
I can imagine wrse preparatins fr the trials, and thrills, f Literature Humanities. But we’ve never frgtten the riginals. T understand the human cnditin, and t appreciate humankind’s greatest achievements, yu still need t read The Iliad — all f it.
What des the underlined wrd “bewildered” mean in paragraph 1?
Delighted.B. Cnfused. C. Amazed.D. Relieved.
Why des the authr list numbers in paragraph 2?
T highlight the rise f scial media.
T clarify the prblems f smartphnes.
T illustrate the change in reading methds.
T demnstrate the decline in bk reading.
What is a result f prfessrs assigning less reading?
The shrtage f learning mtivatin.
The reductin f genuine sympathies.
The lss f cgnitive grwth pprtunities.
The restrictin f persnal academic prgress.
What is the authr’s attitude twards reading riginals?
Supprtive. B. Dubtful.C. Cautius.D. Indifferent.

Have yu ever wndered what chickens are talking abut? Chickens are quite the cmmunicatrs — their clucks, squawks and purrs are nt just randm sunds but a cmplex language system. These sunds are their way f interacting with the wrld and expressing jy, fear, and scial cnnectin t ne anther.
Like humans, the “language” f chickens varies with age, envirnment, and surprisingly, dmesticatin (驯化), giving us insights int their scial structures and behaviurs. Understanding these sunds can transfrm ur apprach t pultry (家禽) farming, enhancing chicken welfare and quality f life.
Our research at Dalhusie University applies artificial intelligence (AI) t decde the language f chickens. It’s a prject that is set t revlutinize ur understanding f these feathered creatures and their cmmunicatin methds, ffering a windw int their wrld that was previusly clsed t us. The use f AI and machine learning is like having a universal translatr fr chicken speech. AI can analyze vast amunts f audi data. Our algrithms (算法) are learning t recgnize patterns and tiny differences in chicken sunds. This isn’t a simple task — chickens have a range f sunds that vary in pitch, tne, and cntext. But by using advanced data analysis techniques, we’re beginning t crack their cde. This breakthrugh in animal cmmunicatin is nt just a scientific achievement; it’s a step twards mre humane and empathetic treatment f farm animals.
One f the mst exciting aspects f this research is understanding the emtinal cntent behind these sunds. Are they stressed? Are they cntent? By understanding their emtinal state, we can make mre infrmed decisins abut their care and envirnment.
This prject isn’t just abut academic curisity; it has real-wrld implicatins. We’re nt nly unlcking the secrets f avian (鸟类的) cmmunicatin but als setting new standards fr animal welfare.
What can we knw abut chickens frm the first tw paragraphs?
They lack emtins.
They are capable f cmmunicatin.
Their sunds are randm and cmplex.
Their language remains cnstant ver time.
What is the signicance f the research cnducted at Dalhusie University?
A. It facilitates new chicken breeds.
B. It hlds great prmise fr animal care.
C. It slely demnstrates an academic thery.
D. It revutinizes human-chicken interactin.
34. What is a highlight f the research?
A. Uncvering chickens’ behaviurs.
B. Discvering advanced feeding techniques.
C. Cmprehending chickens’ emtinal states.
D. Examining chickens’ living circumstances.
35. What is the main idea f the text ?
A. The secret f chickens’ life.
B. The future f pultry farming.
C. Enhancing animal welfare by AI.
D. Unlcking chickens’ language by AI.

“Okay, I’ll treat yu.” the seller said, “cme in, I will ck yu a bwl.”
A few minutes later the wner brught me a steaming bwl f ndles. After eating sme pieces, I cried.
“What is it?” He asked．
“Nthing. I am just tuched by yur kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger n the street gives me a bwl f ndles, and my mther, after a quarrel, chased me ut f the huse. She is cruel （残忍的）!”
The seller sighed, “Girl, why did yu think s? Think again. I nly gave yu a bwl f ndles and yu felt that way. Yur mther has been taking care f yu since yu were little, why were yu nt grateful and why did yu hurt yur mm? Yu shuld say srry t yur mm.”
