Other cafe “staff” include skunks, armadills, and a wallaby wh’s als knwn t get alng well with human strangers. Hwever, the cafe’s name culd set sme up fr the wrng idea. The name Capybara Cafe implies that there will be tasty snacks and drinks with distinctive flavrs fr custmers, but the business nly sells capybara-themed shirts, water bttles, and tys, with all snacks reserved fr the furry “staff” there.

It desn’t seem lgical that a five-ft, seven-inch yung man frm Argentina culd smehw turn int the wrld’s best sccer player. A persn diagnsed with grwth hrmne deficiency and withut the ecnmic resurces t pay fr the expensive treatment t treat that cnditin wuld als nt be an ideal candidate t inherit the title f “Wrld’s Best” frm the likes f Dieg Maradna, Rnald, r Pelé. But Linel Messi defies (违抗) lgic and has regularly dne s since he jined his first sccer team when he was nly fur years ld.
Quite simply, there has never been a player like Messi wh culd cntinue, week in and week ut, t defy the limits f the sprt and cntinually surprise the entire sprts wrld. Even athletes frm ther sprts have expressed their disbelief at Messi’s explits n the field. NBA basketball star Kbe Bryant has said that Messi is the “greatest athlete that I’ve ever seen”.
When we watch Messi n the field, it is easy t assume that Messi is simply a genius t play sccer at levels never befre seen. Carls Tévez, Messi’s teammate n the Argentinean natinal team, says that “Messi is frm anther planet”.
But is that where Linel Messi’s talent cmes frm? Is he a srt f Superman with supernatural sccer abilities? Our jurney int the life stry f Linel Messi will shw that Messi’s rising t fame is the result f a life f struggle and sacrifice. We will see hw an undersized by frm Argentina defied the dds and vercame numerus bstacles t becme ne f sccer’s mst imprtant players all time.
Javier Mascheran, Messi’s current Barcelna and Argentina teammate, says that “althugh he may nt be human, it’s gd that Messi still thinks he is”. Linel Messi’s mdesty, shyness and quiet public behavirs spring frm his wn recgnitin f his humanity, characterized by a life f sacrifice.
28. What des the authr think f Linel Messi’s success?
A. It’s unexpected. B. It’s reasnable.
C. It cmes t late. D. It cmes naturally.

A. Interest is the best teacher. B. Hard wrk pays ff.
C. Cnfidence leads t victry. D. Frtune favrs the prepared mind.
30. Hw des the authr try t prve his pint in the text?
A. By listing sme facts. B. By giving sme examples.
C. By making sme cmparisns. D. By brrwing sme wrds.
31. What is the authr’s tne like in the text?
A. curius. B. admiring. C. dubtful D. surprising.
D
The Stanfrd marshmallw(棉花糖) test was riginally cnducted by psychlgist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged fur t six at a nursery schl were placed in a rm. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed n a table. Each child was tld if they waited fr 15 minutes befre eating the treat, they wuld be given a secnd treat. Then they were left alne in the rm. Fllw-up studies with the children later in life shwed a cnnectin between an ability t wait lng enugh t btain a secnd treat and varius frms f success.
As adults we face a versin f the marshmallw test every day. We re nt tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by ur cmputers, phnes, and tablets- all the devices that cnnect us t the glbal delivery system fr varius types f infrmatin that d t us what marshmallws d t preschlers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because ur ancestrs lived in a calrie- pr wrld, and ur brains develped a respnse mechanism t these treats that reflected their value- a feeling f reward and satisfactin. But as we've reshaped the wrld arund us，dramatically reducing the cst and effrt invlved in btaining calries, we still have the same brains we had thusands f years ag, and this mismatch is at the heart f why s many f us struggle t resist tempting fds that we knw we shuldn't eat.
A similar prcess is at wrk in ur respnse t infrmatin. Our frmative. envirnment as a species was infrmatin-pr, s ur brains develped a mechanism that prized new infrmatin. But glbal cnnectivity has greatly changed ur infrmatin envirnment. We are nw ceaselessly bmbarded(轰炸) with new infrmatin. Therefre， just as we need t be mre thughtful abut ur calric cnsumptin, we als need t be mre thughtful abut ur infrmatin cnsumptin, resisting the temptatin f the mental“junk fd”in rder t manage ur time mst effectively.
32. What was the key fr children t get a secnd treat in the Stanfrd test?
A. Selecting their favrite sugary snack.
B. Remaining alne in the rm fr 15 minutes.
C. Fllwing the instructins given by the psychlgist.
D. Resisting the immediate desire t eat the first ne.
33. What des the authr imply by “a versin f the marshmallw test" fr adults?
A. Adults must als delay cntentment in the digital age.
B. Adults face mre cmplex temptatins than children.
C. Adults are tested with digital devices instead f treats.
D. Adults are assessed n the ability t share infrmatin.
34. Accrding t the text, what is the rt cause f peple 's struggle against temptatin?
A. The lack f self-discipline in ur cntemprary sciety.
B. The verabundance f calrie-rich fds in the market.
C. The mismatch between ur ancient brains and mdern envirnment.
D. The cnstant bmbardment f new infrmatin frm digital devices.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Hw t Manage Infrmatin Cnsumptin
B. Delaying Satisfactin: A Key t Success .
C. Why Our Brains Struggle in the Mdern Wrld
D. The Marshmallw Test: Lessns fr Mdern Life

“That’s nthing. I’ll treat yu tday,” said the man. “Cme in.” The seller brught her a bwl f ndles, whse smell was s appetizing. Lily thanked the man and started t gbble up(狼吞虎咽)the delicius fd with silent tears running dwn her cheeks. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nthing.
