I was in a new state at a new schl and needed smething slid t stand n: a place t feel grunded. I als needed t d laundry, s I walked t a nearby self­service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clthes. As I struggled t clse the washer dr, the wman wrking behind the cunter tld me t give it a gd hit with my hand. The washer did its jb, yet even after an hur, the dryer seemed t have barely warmed my clthes. I left, having decided t air­dry them n my car in the August heat.
A mnth later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she tld me after I'd helped her stp a washing machine frm mving acrss the flr. I was grading pems at a table when ne f the washers brke lse and skipped an inch int the air. I jumped t the machine and held n while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy tld me dryer N. 8 was the fastest.
It went n like this. I'd d laundry nce a week, usually Thursday r Friday. Sandy wrked Tuesday thrugh Saturday and we'd talk small while I flded clthes. She tld me abut her sn and his grades, the new dg they'd just adpted. She was fascinated that I was studying petry. She teased（开玩笑）that it was harder making a living as a pet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was prbably right.
I began t recgnize thers there: wrkers taking breaks by the dr, a mther and her baby, and even sme delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center f my cmmunity. Fr nearly three years and almst every week, I'd d laundry and talk with her. We checked n each ther and expected the ther t be there. We asked where the ther had gne when we missed a week. There was a nte f cncern fr the ther's absence, a nte f jy at their return.
I'd fund a place t stand n slid grund.

First cnstructed in the first century as a part f a villa, the garden f Keyuan in Suzhu, Jiangsu Prvince, was rebuilt and redecrated n numerus ccasins thrughut histry until it became a Cnfucian academy in 1805. The waterscape, rckeries and flurishing willws may have greeted students t step int a "painting" where earthly beauty and dynamics f a real wrld can be felt.
Hwever, in recent histry, the shine f the past seems t have been frgtten by the passing f time. The pnd was muddy. Rcks were unstable. Plants were withering. Termites als damaged the buildings, the structure f which had been damaged thrugh decades f neglect. The cntrast became even mre regrettable when the Great Wave Pavilin, a garden n the UNESCO Wrld Heritage List that is just a few meters away acrss a narrw lane, was crwded with turists every day.
When Keyuan was handed t He Fengchun, an experienced garden renvatin designer, in 2016, her wrk t make "the pearl" shine again was challenging. "Every step in the restring and decrating prcess has t fllw histrical recrdings," says the designer. "It tk just mre than ne year fr us t actually renvate this garden, but much lnger time was spent in evaluating every detail in the plan and making sure f its histrical accuracy," she says.
Renvatin f Keyuan was recgnized with an Asia­Pacific Award fr Cultural Heritage Cnservatin by UNESCO in 2021. A bright and elegant garden is nw accessible t visitrs and jintly describes a culturally rich neighbrhd with the Great Wave Pavilin.
And nw, t keep healthy, it als needs regular maintenance, in which mdern science plays a key rle. Fr example, with supprt f big data analysis and scientific evaluatin f impact brught by turism, the largest numbers f visitrs­within a day r even an hur­are set fr every key site t create a cmfrtable experience fr bth turists and the gardens.
28. What d the underlined wrds "the pearl" in Paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Keyuan. B. The UNESCO Wrld Heritage.
C. Renvatin f Keyuan. D. The Great Wave Pavilin.
29. What des the designer say abut renvating Keyuan?
A. It's practical. B. It`s significant.
C. It's time­cnsuming. D. It`s urgently needed.
30. What des the authr want t tell us by the example in the last paragraph?
A. The need t limit the number f visitrs.
B. The negative impact turism has n gardens.
C. The cmfrtable experience gardens give visitrs.
D. The rle mdern science plays in prtecting gardens.
31. What is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. The Prcess f Repairing Keyuan
B. Beauty f Classical Suzhu Gardens
C. The Shinning f the Garden f Keyuan Again
D. Classical Gardens f Wrld Cultural Heritage

Squirrels eavesdrp n（窃听）the chatter f sngbirds t wrk ut whether the appearance f a predatr（食肉动物）is cause fr alarm, researchers have fund. Animals including squirrels have previusly been fund t tune in t cries f alarm frm ther creatures.
But the latest study suggests animals may als keep an ear ut fr everyday chitchat amng ther species as a way t assess whether there is truble aft.
Writing in the jurnal Pls One, researchers reprted n hw they made their discvery by bserving 67 grey squirrels as they pttered abut（晃悠）different areas in the residential regins f Oberlin.
After 30 secnds f bserving a squirrel, researchers played it a recrding f the call f a red­tailed hawk, which lasted a cuple f secnds—and their behaviur in the next 30 secnds was mnitred. The squirrels were then played a three­minute recrding f several different species f sngbird chattering n a feeder.
The results revealed that in the 30 secnds after hearing the hawk call the squirrels increased the percentage f their time spent "vigilant"（警惕）cmpared with befre the call, while they als lked up mre ften t scan the envirnment. Squirrels that were played bird chatter raised their heads less ften during the recrding and the number f these "lk­ups" drpped ff faster ver time.
"Recgnitin f bird chatter as a sign f safety is likely adaptive, as squirrels that can safely reduce their vigilance level in the presence f bird chatter prbably are able t increase fraging（觅食）success," the authrs wrte.
The team suggested that with levels f human­made nise increasing, squirrels may find it harder t eavesdrp n birds, meaning they may have t spend mre time being alert and less time fraging.
Dr. Jakb Br­Jrgensen, c­authr f the study frm Oberlin Cllege, said: "The study calls attentin t hw animals can gather infrmatin frm their envirnment by using cues that may at first glance seem irrelevant," he said. "And it
makes yu wnder hw the mre and mre pervasive（无处不在的）impact f human activities n natural sundscapes may reduce survival f wildlife in ways we haven't thught f."
32. What des the new research find abut squirrels' eavesdrpping?
A. It lacks scientific evidence. B. It is mre widespread and brader.
C. It needs t be further investigated. D. It is cntradictry t previus findings.
33. What is Paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The subject f the experiment. B. The findings f the experiment.
C. The prcess f the experiment. D. The purpse f the experiment.
34. Why is recgnitin f bird chatter as a sign f safety imprtant fr squirrels?
A. They can escape frm ptential risks.
B. It helps them t frage fd successfully.
C. It is safe fr them t play with their mates.
D. They can adapt t a new envirnment quickly.
35. What des the last paragraph mainly talk abut cncerning the research?
A. It`s pssible effects. B. Its appeal t the public.
C. Expectatins fr further study. D. Scientists with new awareness.

My stry started ne autumn mrning, at the bend n a path.
I was 13 years ld, and was n the way t schl. It was the first time I had caught sight f a fx. Fascinated t the pint that I frgt all fear, I dared t g up t it. I had never cme s clse t a wild animal. There was nbdy else arund, nly me and the fx.
“Hey, fx!” I tried t greet it, thugh my vice was s weak it felt like I was saying hell t myself. It didn`t hear me. It stayed there and I watched it. My heart was beating flat ut. It was s cute. Fr a mment, I thught I might be able t tuch it.
Thrughut the day at schl, I culd nly think f the fx at the big beech（山毛榉）tree. At my return t the place where we met, I was sure I`d find it there.
And I did. This time I gathered a little bit mre curage and called ut t it, “Fx!” Of curse it escaped. But that nly made me lng t meet it again. I decided that if I culd find its kennel（洞）and catch it, I wuld try and tame（驯服）it, making it my friend.
Thus, I spent mst f my free time in the frests trying t find the fx during the fllwing mnths. But I never saw it again befre winter came. During the winter, I fllwed its ftprints far acrss the fields. Suddenly I was alarmed by the hwling f wlves near me. I ran away frightened, stumbled and hurt my ankle. It healed very slwly, s that I had t stay at hme during the winter, reading a bk abut animals f the frest and fxes.
When spring arrived, I was free again. I lked fr fx kennels and waited fr my fx. T my amazement, it had gt yung nes but kept mving because f my bservatins; therefre I decided t bserve the fx frm a lnger distance.
Finally, it wuld let me get clse. Finally, it wuld let me get clse.
But befre that, several days had seen my distant and patient bservatin, during which time the fx gradually gt accustmed t my presence and finally quit mving. Delighted t see its attitude transfrmatin, I started t bring sme fd, put it utside the kennel and sn returned t my distant bservatin site t avid disturbing and frightening the fx. Every time, it carried the fd back t the kennel after cautiusly sniffing. Several times later, I attempted t get clse and was astnished t find that it didn`t get away. What thrilled me further was that it wuld even initiatively walk t me and lie beside me fr a while. S thrilled was I that ne day I impulsively tk it hme, imaging t tame it with tips frm my bk.
T my surprise, the day after I tk it hme, it fled. _________________________________________________

T my surprise, the day after I tk it hme, it fled. A mixture f grief and disappintment verwhelming me, I rushed twards the kennel, expecting t take it back again. Hwever, what came int my sight when I arrived deeply shcked and tuched me. The fx was surrunded by its yung nes, sme f whm were lying in its warm belly peacefully and leisurely, with its eyes narrwing under warm sunshine and sft frest breeze. It was at this mment that I realized why the fx fled and what I shuld d. Since then, my selfish desire t ccupy and tame it has cmpletely vanished. Instead, I just regularly brught sme fd and bserved quietly and cntentedly frm the distance as I did befre, because I have been cnvinced that fascinatin and affectin mean respecting and giving freedm instead f ccupatin.
