This summer，the flavr f freshly baked bread and spices filled the Crissy Field Center-nt frm chefs，but frm middle schlers in the Urban Trailblazers prgram perfecting their kitchen skills.Frm fd histry t fd-centered field trips，the prgram allwed them t use their senses t engage mre deeply with the natural wrld.“We want yung peple t thughtfully cnsider their decisins they were making at grcery stres and eclgical ftprint.” said Ernest Pepit，the prgram's directr.
The six-week prgram began with the basics f reading，writing，and presenting recipes.Students’ first assignment? Bring in a dish with cultural r persnal significance.Classes included practicing knife skills，explring heat cntrl，and pairing flavrs by themselves. They develped a rich vcabulary as well t describe what they were ding.
Students als stepped ut t gain deeper insight int fd rigins.On a field trip t Ale-many Farm，they jurnaled their sensry experiences amng rws f ripening prduce.A visit t the Marin Farmers' Market intrduced them t lcal farmers，sustainable grwing practices，and unfamiliar fruits and vegetables. Students als visited the Japanese Tea Garden and Cnservatry f Flwers and realized there's mre t explre，even in their wn backyards.
Back in the kitchen，bread week was a hit.After explring the histry f bread acrss cultures，each student selected a recipe t research，bake，and present.By sharing the stries behind their laves，they wve histry，traditin，and persnal meaning int their creatins.
Over time，the students nt nly mastered recipes but als develped cnfidence. Sam Tran，Middle Schl Prgrams manager at the Crissy Field Center，recalled a student wh initially had n interest in cking."By the end，he was experimenting at hme with his dad,baking laf after laf f banana bread.”
“Actually，that is an utcme we didn't fresee,” Pepit added."But it's really pwerful that yung peple crss that threshld(门槛)f fear arund trying smething in the kitchen，and are able t bring that hme.”

As the awards seasn appraches，students and teachers will gather t celebrate academic perfrmance，citizenship，leadership and extracurricular(课外的)excellence.Schls bill these awards as a way t recgnize students' achievements. But are they a gd idea?
The philsphy behind these awards is t slidify psitive behavirs and encurage students t excel. This cncept is rted in behaviurism t educatin，a psychlgical thery that suggests external rewards can shape behavir. But such rewards d nt necessarily lead t lasting engagement.Once the desire fr reward fade，the behavir ften desn't stick.
Research has als shwn awards can smetimes d mre harm than gd. When students fcus n earning an award rather than enjying the activity，their mtivatin shifts frm internal t external. This means they might participate nly fr the sake f the award，rather than fr the jy f learning r persnal grwth.A US study f schl-aged children fund that thse wh said“I ask questins in class because l want t learn new things”achieved higher academic success than thse wh said“I like schl subjects where it's pretty easy t just learn the answers”.Beynd affecting mtivatin，awards can als lead children t grw dependent n external recgnitin.When kids get used t seeking apprval thrugh awards，they may struggle t find self-wrth in their wn effrts.
Fr the kids wh dn't receive awards，they may feel inadequate r discuraged，especially if the same few children are always celebrated. This situatin can create a fixed mindset where kids think their abilities can't change r prgress，as ppsed t a grwth mindset where students firmly believe they can becme better thrugh hard wrk，gd strategies and help frm thers.
This is nt t say schls shuld never give students awards.Fr parents and educatrs,whether kids receive an award r nt，there are always alternatives t talk abut their achievements at the end f the schl year.
What is suggested abut the impact f awards in Paragraph 2?
A.Temprary. B.Mtivating. C.Overestimated. D.Trans-frmative.
29.Hw d awards negatively affect students’ academic perfrmance?
A.They create vercnfidence in students.
B.They weaken students’ internal mtivatin.
C. They mislead students in prblem-slving.
D.They discurage students frm seeking answers.
30. What distinguishes a grwth mindset frm a fixed ne?
A.Faith in self-imprvement. B.Gd academic perfrmance.
C. Preference fr external apprval. D.Active classrm engagement.
31. What will prbably be discussed in the fllwing paragraphs?
A. Why schls refuse t give up awards.
B.Hw t encurage kids beynd awards.
C. Why schls seek alternatives t awards.
D.Hw t teach kids self-wrth withut awards.

Frm abve，cars inching dwn the highway lk like ants. But actual ants manage t avid the stp-and-g traffic.Researchers are nw learning frm ants t prgram self-driving cars that dn't jam up.
The free flw f traffic becmes unstable as vehicle density(密度)increases n a highway.At 15 vehicles per mile per track，ne driver hitting their brakes(刹车) can cause a persistent wave f jam. This phenmenn，knwn as a phase transitin，is similar t hw water freezes int ice，explains Nishinari，a mathematical physicist at the University f Tky.
Ants can maintain their flw in high-density cnditins. By studying Ochetellus ants,researchers discvered their secret:they travel in small grups，mve at nearly cnstant rates,with space between ne anther—and they dn't speed up t pass thers.
Human drivers at rush hur，hnestly，“are priritizing persnal cnvenience”， says study c-authr Nicla Pugn. But self-driving cars，if widely adpted，culd be engineered t cperate like ants. In the future，these vehicles wuld share real-time data with nearby cars t facilitate smther traffic flw by adjusting speed and spacing r by nt vertaking thers.
This vehicle netwrk is mdeled after hw ants crdinate(协同)using smells rather than fllwing a leader.“There is n leader.”explains Pinter-Wllman，a behaviral scientist currently studying ants at the UCLA，yet their mvement remains rganized.And in bth ant and vehicle traffic，this decentralized system can be“very，very strng”and adaptive，Nishinari says.
Still，ants have advantages that self-driving cars lack. Pinter-Wllman pints ut，“Ants simply expand pathways as wide as they please，unlike cars stuck n highways. When they hit a jam in a tunnel，they just climb the wall r walk n the ceiling.Plus，ants never crash; if ne is in the way，they literally step ver it and keep mving.”
Tday's drivers can learn at least ne thing frm ants t avid causing a traffic jam: keep away.Keeping a safe distance frm the car ahead prevents braking waves frm turning int full-blwn traffic jams.“Just keeping away.” he says，can help traffic flw smthly.
32.What des Paragraph 2 mainly talk abut?
A. What a phase transitin explains.
B. Hw stable traffic starts t break dwn.
C. Why vehicle density impacts traffic.
D. When traffic jams becme unavidable.
33. What can self-driving cars d t imprve traffic flw ?
A.Cmmunicate purpsefully. B.Overtake thers intelligently.
C. Functin cperatively. D.Prevent sudden braking smarty.
34.What is a key feature f this ant-inspired netwrk in self-driving cars?
A. Disregarding physical rad limitatins.
B.Organizing traffic under a single leader car.
C. Adapting by predicting driver behavir.
D. Wrking thrugh self-rganized crdinatin.
35.In what tne des Pinter-Wllman describe ants' advantages ver cars?
A.Schlarly. B.Humrus. C.Reflective. D. Inspiratinal.

Sme histrians debate whether Zheng He r Christpher Clumbus was the greater “explrer”.They believe that these tw explrers’ gals and. 56 (accmplish)differed significantly. Zheng He's vyages (1405—1433) were primarily fcused n diplmacy(外交) and trade. Cmmanding a vast fleet(舰队)，he fllwed 57 ( establish) trade rutes，visiting knwn lands in Sutheast Asia，the Indian Ocean，and the east cast f Africa.His missin was 58 (demnstrate)the pwer，build relatinships，and expand trade rather than t discver new lands. While his vyages were grand and technlgically advanced，they did nt take him int 59_ (cmplete) uncharted waters.
In cntrast，Clumbus set ut with the specific aim f _ 60 (jurney) westward t reach the East Indies. Instead，his 1492 vyage led him t the Americas, 6l encunter that greatly reshaped glbal histry by initiating Eurpean explratin and clnizatin(殖民地化) f new lands. 62 Zheng He，Clumbus stepped int unknwn territries，making his vyages fit the traditinal definitin f explratin.
Hwever，bth figures had a far-reaching impact n the wrld.Zheng He 63 (strength)China's presence in the knwn wrld，while Clumbus pened a new chapter in explratin by linking Eurpe and the Americas. Whether ne was mre f an“explrer”than the ther depends n 64 we define explratin—either as discvering unknwn lands 65 as expanding a natin's influence thrugh sea vyages.

I have a ty，a small stuffed(毛绒的)cat，which has remained ne f my mst treasured pssessins. I call it VIP-Very Imprtant Pet. It sits n my desk as a reminder f a mment with my brther.
Luca，my lder brther，had autism(自闭症).Mst f the time，he stayed quiet.He never penly expressed his feelings r cmmunicated the way ther peple did. We were family，but there was always a quiet distance between us—ne that I didn’t fully understand at the time.
Luca and I attended the same schl，but ur paths rarely crssed.He was tw grades ahead f me，and thugh we lived tgether，ur schl lives were entirely separate. I had rarely visited his classrm r expected him t find me.But ne thing I did knw was that his class had a reward system where students earned tickets fr gd behavir and culd trade them fr prizes every Friday.Yet Luca never brught hme any prizes. l ften wndered why—maybe he wasn't interested，maybe he didn't earn enugh tickets，r maybe he just didn't like waiting fr his turn.
Then ne day，I remember clearly it was Friday，smething unexpected happened. While I was in class，I reached int my schl bag fr my flder(资料夹) and suddenly realized I had taken Luca's by mistake!Remembering l was suppsed t have my wn flder，I quickly tld my teacher what happened and asked if I culd g t his classrm t exchange the flders. She said yes.
As I made my way tward his classrm，a strange mix f excitement and nervusness settled ver me.I had never been there befre，and fr reasns I culdn't quite explain，it felt like stepping int an unfamiliar wrld. When I arrived，I heard a sft buzz(嗡嗡声) f nise inside. I explained the situatin t his teacher，wh smiled knwingly and called Luca ver.We exchanged flders，and I turned t leave，expecting nthing mre than a simple trade.
