If a car is the best ptin, cnsider replacing yur traditinal car with an electric r hybrid vehicle at the end f its life. (And drive the speed limit!). Clean energy helps avid additinal emissins.

The light is puring thrugh the windws as I stare attentively at a vilin-shaped piece f wd in my hands. I runs my fingertips ver the rugh surface t feel fr imperfectins that will need t be remved. “Vilin making is easy,” my teacher used t jke, “just take away all the bits f wd that aren’t a vilin.”
By the time I’m in my wrkshp hlding this piece f wd, I’ve already been up fr many hurs. I’m an early riser. After cffee, I head ut fr an hur-lng walk with my dg, Eggs. Mst f my ideas cme t me during mrning walks, including my prudest prject t date: a vilin I made fr a film supprting the Right t Ram campaign, which advcates fr public access t the cuntryside in the landscape. The vilin has becme the cmmunity’s shared treasure fr lcal flk players t take int the hills and play.
I lve walking int my wrkshp in the mrning. My wrk varies frm small adjustments t mre extensive wrk requiring a careful handling f the vilin as a histrical bject. Yu never knw what yu’ll find inside an ld vilin. One f my favrite repairs invlved a vilin full f cracks. When I remved the frnt f it, I fund its inside filled with pencil signatures frm makers f the past. One read, in beautiful ld calligraphic writing: “LePetit Luthier à Paris, 1825”.
Althugh many heritage crafts, like vilin making, play a vital rle in cultural ecnmy, they’re usually nt big mney earners. My chice f jb als infrms my lifestyle. While my friends devte time t travel and spend mney n luxuries, I invest my time in cmmunity, nature, and my grwth as a craftspersn. I didn’t truly find my way t thse things, r realize hw much fulfilling they are, until I began wrking as a vilin maker.

A brader phenmena swept ver the develped Western wrld in the early 2010s. Rates f depressin, anxiety and self-harm rse sharply. Why?
In the summer f 2022, Jnathan Haidt was wrking n a bk prject abut hw smartphnes and scial media rewired sciety in the 2010s. He quickly realized that the impact f scial media n kids culd nt be explained in ne chapter — it needed a bk f its wn. Hence, The Anxius Generatin is Vlume 1, in a sense, f the larger prject.
Haidt begins The Anxius Generatin by examining adlescent mental health trends. What happened t yung peple in the early 2010s that caused the rise f anxiety and depressin arund 2012? He ffers an explanatin by telling tw stries: the decline f play-based childhd and the rise f phne-based childhd. He shws hw the “play-based childhd” began t decline in the 1980s, and hw it was finally wiped ut by the arrival f the “phne-based childhd” in the early 2010s. He presents mre than a dzen mechanisms by which this “great rewiring f childhd” has affected children’s scial and brain develpment, cvering everything frm lack f sleep t divided attentin, addictin, lneliness, scial cmparisn, and perfectinism.
Mst imprtant, Haidt issues a clear call t actin. He explains hw parents, schl, gvernments, tech cmpanies, and yung peple are trapped in “cllective actin prblems”, and then prpses fur simple rules that might set us free: giving children far mre time fr utdr play with mixed-age grups; invlving them in stable real-wrld cmmunities rather than nline netwrks; delaying smartphnes and restricting scial media access until at least high schl.
He emphasizes that change is pssible if sciety acts tgether. We cannt affrd t ignre his findings abut prtecting ur children — and urselves — frm the psychlgical damage f a phne-based life.
28. Why did Jnathan Haidt decide t write The Anxius Generatin?
A. T expand his riginal prject.B. T address an issue wrth fuller study.
C. T explre hw smartphnes reshape sciety.B. T replace his previus research with a new fcus.
29. What des the underlined wrds “great rewiring” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. The lack f utdr play.B. The ppularity f scial media.
C. The increase f mental illness.D. The switch frm play t phnes.
30. What des Haidt emphasize as essential fr prtecting children?
A. Stabilizing scial netwrks.B. Banning smartphnes befre cllege.
C. Relying mainly n individual parents.D. Making jint effrts acrss scial grups.
31. Where is the text prbably taken frm?
A. A bigraphy f a famus writer.B. A bk review in a literary magazine.
C. An intrductin t a scial science bk.D. A psychlgy research paper in a jurnal.

Pancreatic cancer has becme ne f the deadliest frms f cancer acrss the wrld — it is ften called a “silent killer” largely because early detectin is s hard. Symptms rarely appear until the disease has advanced, leaving patients with a five-year survival rate f nly abut 10 percent.
Nw, new research suggests that an AI tl may significantly imprve early detectin f this deadly disease. In a study published in Nature Medicine, researchers frm China fund that an AI tl called PANDA, when analyzing rutine nncntrast CT scans, culd crrectly identify 93 percent f peple wh had pancreatic lesins (病灶).
Cntrast CT scans, used t cnfirm its presence, invlve large amunts f radiatin, s many experts advise against widespread screening. But lwer-radiatin alternatives, nncntrast CTs, prduce less clearly defined pictures, making it harder fr radilgists t identify abnrmalities. The tl, develped by researchers with Chinese tech giant Alibaba, was trained t address this by using an AI mdel t spt ptential cancer.
Crucially, this prcess relies n the AI mdel being trained n mapped data frm cntrast scans. The team first asked a radilgist t manually mark the cntrast CTs f mre than 2,000 knwn pancreatic patients with the lcatins f their lesins. The engineers then algrithmically (通过算法) mapped the highlighted lesins nt the same patients’ nncntrast CTs. Thse nncntrast scans were then fed t the AI mdel, s that it culd learn t detect ptential cancer even in less detailed images.
Still, researchers cautined that mre real-wrld data was needed t determine whether the tl’s benefits utweigh the risks f false psitives and unnecessary testing. Dr. Ajit Genka f May Clinic stressed the imprtance f reducing false alarms, nting that hundreds in Ningb faced unnecessary terrr and testing nly t find they were healthy. Dr. Diane Simene f UC San Dieg added that the tl might be mre useful fr trainee dctrs than fr experienced specialists, but acknwledged it culd be a valuable backstp fr hspitals lacking specialists.
32. Hw des the authr illustrate cancer’s severity in the first paragraph?
A. By defining a term.B. By prviding statistics.
C. By giving examples.D. By describing a medical prcess.
33. What is the AI mdel aimed at?
A. Reducing the radiatin f CT scans.B. Identifying lesins in less clear images.
C. Imprving the clarity f scan images.D. Replacing cntrast CT scans cmpletely.
34. What is paragraph 4 f the text mainly abut?
A. The cmparisn f tw CT scans.B. The rle f radilgists in the prcess.
C. The cause f false psitives in detectin.D. The functinal principle f the AI mdel.
35. What is Dr. Diane Simene’s attitude twards the ptential use f PANDA?
A. Fully supprtive.B. Highly critical.C. Cautiusly ptimistic.C. Deeply skeptical.

On the day f the wedding, my mther and I had ur hair and makeup dne at the htel. Once ready, we planned t take the htel bus t the wedding site acrss the street. We culd have walked if nt fr the heels.
Wearing elegant gwns (礼服), we std utside ur htel awaiting transprt. A cach pulled up and the htel staff led us int empty seats.
