In my frnt yard lives a wild climbing rse, which is an extremely tugh and stubbrn plant. Every early summer, sharp thrns (刺) cver its winding branches, ready t threaten anyne wh gets clse. I have trn three shirts and scratched my hands cuntless times while trimming (修剪) its vergrwn branches. Even walking past it needs extra care, r sudden scratches will bring tiny but lasting pain.
The wild rse is als a greedy grwer. It spreads fast and takes up mst f the sunlight and sil nutrients. I nce planted jasmine and lavender beside it, hping t enrich the yard. Hwever, all these gentle plants failed t cmpete and gradually died ne by ne. The jasmine leaves turned yellw, and the lavender simply stpped blming.
Still, the wild rse has irreplaceable charm and value. It is a perfect hme fr lcal small creatures. Every spring, its pink blssms attract busy bees and lvely butterflies.

Nw I n lnger cmplain abut its trubles. I learn t adapt t its wild nature and trim its branches regularly t keep it in gd shape. It ffers beauty and vitality t my small yard, and teaches me a gentle truth: cexistence, nt cnquest, is the best way t get alng with nature. In its messy branches, I've fund a thrny srt f peace.

Fear f mathematics dates back further than mst peple assume. A century ag, the German physicist Felix Auerbach, trubled by this very issue and eager t find slutins, published a bk titled The Fear f Mathematics and Hw t Overcme It.
What causes peple's fear f mathematics? Auerbach claimed that the rt f this anxiety lies in a misperceptin abut the true nature f math. While many are afraid f making mistakes in calculatins, many brilliant mathematicians struggle with simple calculatins — this clearly distinguishes calculating ability frm math itself. Similarly, this distinctin exists in literature: the ability t craft engaging stries with graceful language is an artistic talent that differs frm mastering basic spelling and punctuatin rules. The same is true f math. It isn't mere calculatin.
What, then, is mathematics? Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. Actually, part f the issue is that we are stuck in the first bx. The incredible applicatin f math in science has meant that it is pssible, thugh undesirable, t teach it nly with this applicatin in mind. A fcus merely n technical skills misses the jy and excitement that can cme frm finding patterns and understanding them, frm seeing the true beauty f mathematics. That beauty lies in wnderfully elegant thinking that allws us t understand the infinite, explre the great symmetries (对称性) f art and nature.
As a language, what sets math apart is the universality (普遍性) f its truths — yu can becme fluent wherever yu cme frm. As Auerbach puts it, yu cannt d "German mathematics with a Japanese accent". Mathematics unites us thrugh the shared language f reasn. In researching the beautiful cnnectins between mathematics and literature, I have fund many examples f mathematicians and pets praising each ther's disciplines. As Auerbach says, "Mathematics is a petic art". If we can be shwn the beauty f mathematics, we will cease t be afraid f the technical details supprting it.
28. Hw des the authr develp paragraph 2?
A. By giving a definitin.B. By making a cmparisn.
C. By illustrating an pinin.D. By presenting a phenmenn.
29. What des the authr imply by saying "we are stuck in the first bx" in paragraph 3?
A. Perceptin f math nly as an art frm.
B. Mathematicians' discvery f new patterns.
C. Overemphasis n scientific applicatins.
D. Misinterpretatin f math as a language.
30. What wuld Felix Auerbach prbably agree with?
A. Math is a language mastered by all f us.
B. Math anxiety arises frm pr math educatin.
C. Learning technical skills is a tp pririty.
D. Appreciating math's beauty relieves the fear.
31. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the passage?
A. Felix Auerbach: Discvering Math's Beauty
B. Technical Details: The Cre f Math Anxiety
C. Redefining Math: Integrating Math with Art
D. Math's Beauty: Rethinking Our Fear f Math

During the Little Ice Age, the Inuit and the Nrse cexisted in Greenland. Althugh bth grups faced the same climate challenges, their fates were different. Why the Inuit thrived while the Nrse declined has cnfused archaelgists fr decades. T answer this questin, the researchers investigated the issue frm a new perspective. A study published in the Eurpean Jurnal f Archaelgy by Mathilde Meyer and Dr. Felix Riede reveals the unexpected rle f childhd play.
The research team analyzed tys unearthed frm archaelgical sites. The Nrse settlements yielded 72 tys. The Inuit settlements, lcated in similar envirnmental cnditins, yielded 2,397 tys. The study revealed that the Inuit created a much brader and mre varied range f tys. These included miniatures f kayaks, knives, and lamps, each designed t teach specific practical skills. In cntrast, Nrse tys were limited t bjects related t traditinal agricultural activities, such as bird figures and dmestic tls. Dr. Riede explains, “The Inuit’s tys nt nly mirrred their survival strategies but als actively cultivated innvatin amng children. The Nrse tys, hwever, stressed a cnventinal way f life.”
Mre strikingly, the Inuit children’s play grew dramatically ver time. This may reflect a deliberate cultural respnse t envirnmental pressures. The Inuit’s develpmental envirnment fr children emphasized explratin. These practices allwed children t experience new technlgies and strategies, such as dg sleds and the umiaq (a large bat), crucial fr surviving the harsh cnditins. Over time, Inuit tys als revealed subtle shifts in design and emphasis that crrespnded t brader eclgical and scial changes. By cntrast, the Nrse stuck t established nrms, limiting their capacity t innvate r transitin t marine - based ecnmies.
Thugh the lack f tys may indicate that Nrse sciety was less creative frm the start, the researchers argue their tendency t give irrelevant tys intensified any initial lack f creativity and ultimately reduced their chances f survival. By cntrast, the Inuit’s preference fr varius and relevant tys paved the way fr their children. This research invites reflectin n hw cntemprary scieties and mdern parents educate children t face future challenges, such as climate change and scial crises.
32. What is the main purpse f the new study?
A. T slve a histrical survival mystery.
B. T cntrast tw parenting philsphies.
C. T ffer a slutin t climate challenges.
D. T dcument tw ancient lifestyles.
33. What advantages did Inuit tys have ver Nrse tys?
A. Variety and durability.B. Diversity and adaptability.C. Practicality and stability.D. Creativity and cmplexity.
34. What did the change in Inuit children’s play ver time suggest?
A. Sufficient play culd reduce survival threats.
B. Expsure t mre tys imprved kids’ creativity.
C. Traditinal wisdm was verlked fr survival.
D. Experimental play facilitated cultural adaptatin.
35. What lessn can mdern parents draw frm the study?
A. Offer a wide range f learning pprtunities.
B. Emphasize tys that prmte imaginatin.
C. Chse tys that develp real - wrld skills.
D. Encurage cperative rle - playing games.
