The airprt was a sea f hurried travelers, but time seemed t stand still at the check-in cunter (柜台). My daughter, Maya, sat n her suitcase, her face pale frm the illness that had been draining ur family fr mnths. We were heading t a specialist--ur last hpe--and every penny we had was already tied up in medical bills. I had been certain that children f her age flew fr free, but the agent's vice was firm,"She needs her wn seat. That will be $749. "
My heart sank. That mney was meant fr her treatment, nt the jurney. I stepped away t make phne calls, my vice trembling as I begged fr a lan, fr a miracle, fr anything. Each call ended in a "n". When I lked back at Maya, ur eyes met. She didn't understand the finances, but she saw the dejectin in my heavy shulders. Her silent, trusting eyes made my helplessness feel like a physical weight. I had never felt smaller.
Just as I prepared t tell her we culdn't g, the agent called me back. "The ticket has been issued," she said sftly. A stranger had stepped up, swiped a card fr the full amunt, and disappeared int the crwd befre I culd even say a wrd. I never saw his face, never heard his name. We flew that day n the wings f a mystery.
Years later, Maya is healthy. The illness is a fading shadw, but the memry f that day remains vivid. We ften talk abut that unknwn "angel" and it has shaped the way she lives her life.
Nw, whenever she sees smene struggling-a tired parent at a grcery stre r a student shrt n change-she steps in. She knws that kindness desn't have t be a grand, expensive gesture. Smetimes, it's just abut bridging the gap when smene is abut t fall. We never fund the persn wh bught that ticket, but we've spent a lifetime paying them back by passing it n.

Is playing music gd fr ur brain? New research suggests the answer is yes, even fr thse wh nly play music as a hbby.
A research team at Oxfrd University lked deep int the human brain. They fund that making music is a great exercise fr the human brain. When we play music, ur brain must cnnect sight and sund, cntrl fine bdy mvements, stay fcused and use imaginatin, which gradually strengthens the brain just like exercising a muscle. Their studies shw prfessinal musicians have mre grey matter, a brain part clsely related t thinking, mvement and memry, s they ften perfrm better in these abilities. In fact, music benefits ur brain in far mre ways than we used t believe.
A key study frm McGill University in Canada fund that children wh start training befre age seven develp a larger crpus callsum, a vital bridge that cnnects the tw sides f the brain. A strnger bridge allws infrmatin t travel faster, which explains why musically trained children ften perfrm well in secnd-language learning and lgical reasning. By building these neural (神经) highways early, music prepares the yung mind fr challenges far beynd the music rm.
As we grw lder, music becmes a frm f medicine. Fr senirs, cntinuing t play an instrument acts as a natural defence against aging. It effectively slws dwn the decline f memry and creates a "cgnitive reserve (认知储备)" that lwers the risk f brain diseases. Whether it's a grand pian r a simple guitar, the instrument keeps the mind "fit up" and energetic, prtecting the abilities we need fr daily life.
The best news? Yu dn't have t be a musical genius t enjy these gifts. Yu dn't need prfessinal skills r expensive lessns. The secret lies in cnsistency. By simply picking up an instrument and sticking t it, anyne can rewrite the stry f their wn brain.
28. What did the research team at Oxfrd University find?
A. Making music is a mental wrkut.
B. Music is nthing mre than a hbby.
C. Grey matter has little t d with mvement.
D. Playing instruments nly imprves thinking.
29. What benefit des music bring t senirs accrding t the text?
A. It stps brain frm aging.
B. It aids in language learning.
C. It slws dwn memry lss.
D. It heals sme brain diseases.
30. What des the authr suggest ding in the last paragraph?
A. Starting music early.
B. Learning music hard.
C. Playing music regularly.
D. Practicing music alne.
31. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Music Shapes the Future
B. Music: A Fast Mental Relief
C. Music Teaches Us Cnsistency
D. Music: A Gym fr Yur Brain

Thusands f patients wrldwide are waiting fr life-saving rgan dnatins, with far mre peple n waiting lists than available rgans. While we have made prgress in using livers frm dnrs wh have died after cardiac arrest (心脏骤停), we still face a cruel reality: nearly half f these transplants(移植) are canceled.
The difficulty lies in a strict time limit. Usually, the death must nt exceed abut 30 t 45 minutes after life-supprt treatment is stpped. If death des nt ccur within this windw, the rgan quality will drp rapidly. Fr fear f higher health risks fr the receiver, dctrs will give up using such rgans. At present, hspitals mainly depend n dctrs' judgment t predict this imprtant perid. Hwever, different judgments ften lead t unnecessary csts and wasted resurces.
T address this, dctrs and researchers at Trnt General Hspital have develped a machine learning mdel. This AI tl was trained n medical data frm ver 2,000 dnrs in several transplant centers. By using data frm nerve, breathing, and bld systems, it can predict a dnr's time f death mre crrectly than human experts. Remarkably, the tl still wrks well even when sme dnr infrmatin is incmplete.
This reliable tl can help medical wrkers make wiser, data-driven decisins. In tests, the AI tl did better than experienced dctrs and cut useless rgan preparatins by 60%. Such an advance reduces the situatins where wrkers prepare rgans nly t find them unsuitable, which ften puts heavy financial and peratinal pressure n transplant centers.
The research, recently published in Lancet Digital Health, shws the great ptential f AI in saving lives. Lking ahead, the team plans t adapt the tl and test it n heart and lung transplants. This technlgy prmises a future where mre patients in need can receive the life-saving treatment they need.
32. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic in paragraph 1?
A. By cmparing pinins.
B. By giving examples.
C. By describing a phenmenn.
D. By quting an expert.
33. What makes rgan transplants difficult accrding t paragraph 2?
A. Uncertainty f death time.
B. Pr health f the receivers.
C. Lack f experienced dctrs.
D. High csts f the peratins.
34. What d we knw abut the new AI tl?
A. It prvides medical data fr 2,000 dnrs.
B. It wrks well even with part f the data.
C. It reduces the number f dnrs by 60%.
D. It takes the dctrs' place in peratins.
35. What is the authr's purpse in writing the text?
A. T recmmend an AI tl.
B. T hnr a medical team.
C. T call fr rgan dnatins.
D. T reprt an AI achievement.

I was brn int this wrld nine weeks early, tiny, weighing nly 1. 14kg. T save my life, dctrs used pure xygen, but it left a permanent mark: my teeth became a strange, pale yellw.
T my mther, I was her "Angel-Face". But t the wrld, I was just a by wh lked a little different.
By secnd grade, the teasing began. "Why dn't yu brush yur teeth? They are s nasty!" the whispers started. I was a quiet target with bright red hair and thick glasses. Each laugh in the hallway hurt my heart. I started t hide myself, keeping my lips pressed tight even when I wanted t laugh. I didn't want t be nticed; I wanted t be invisible.
Schl felt like a nightmare. Every mrning, I felt a heavy stne f fear in my stmach. I tld my mm I was sick, hping t stay under the cvers. Hme wasn't the safe place I needed, either. My parents, in their well-meaning way, thught I was just being t shy. "Just be the nice ne, Peytn," they'd say. "Yu're special. " But their wrds felt empty. They culdn't see my pain, and I felt mre alne than ever.
Hwever, my English teacher, Mr. Harrisn, was quietly watching me. He didn't give me big speeches, but he was like a silent shield (护盾). He wuld change the seating t keep me away frm mean kids, r give me a kind nd when I lked dwn. He nce saw me mimicking (模仿) vices frm a mvie in an empty hallway-the nly time I felt truly happy.
One Tuesday, Mr. Harrisn annunced a "Creative Vice Festival". He walked by my desk and whispered, "Peytn, yu have a great gift fr vices. Why dn't yu lead the part n film dubbing (配音)?" Fr the first time, smene wasn't lking at my yellw teeth; they were listening t my heart.

I decided t give it a try. Encuraged by Mr. Harrisn's trust, I spent every lunch break practicing secretly in the language lab. It wasn't easy at first. Every time I pened my muth, I subcnsciusly tried t cver my yellw teeth with my hand. Seeing my struggle, Mr. Harrisn sat beside me like a lighthuse in a fggy sea. "Peytn, a her's strength cmes frm the heart, nt a perfect smile," he said firmly. These wrds acted like a key, unlcking the cage in my chest. Under his patient guidance, I learned t breathe life int characters. Slwly, the heavy stne f fear in my stmach began t melt, replaced by a grwing spark f hpe.
