At just seven years ld, Angelina Tsubi discvered her passin fr innvatin. It all began with a simple game she prgrammed in her Ls Angeles public schl's Grade 2 class. Tday, at 18, the Grade 12 student's initial curisity has evlved int a deep­seated desire t use technlgy t decde(解码) real­wrld prblems.
In 2021, she c­develped Megaphne, ne f her first apps, t tackle unanswered pst­class questins and pr cmmunicatin abut events and annuncements. Her prblem­slving ability kept building frm there.
When she tk nline CPR classes at the start f the pandemic, she figured it culdn't be just her wh was struggling with the steps. S she created an app called CPR Buddy—a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge—which guides users thrugh CPR using vibratins(震动) t regulate breath. After winning the award, Angelina presented her wrk t Apple CEO Tim Ck, a highlight in her yung career, but ne she didn't lse her cl ver. “There's n pint putting peple n a pedestal(神坛)，” she says.
The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed t assist nnEnglish­speaking single parents with resurces fr husing, jb pprtunities and translatin supprt. She was inspired by her wn experiences as a child f a single mther wh immigrated t the US.
When Angelina decided t pursue pilt training at the age f 16, she was struck by hw difficult it was t find financial supprt, which encuraged her t create yet anther app, Pilt Fast Track, which helps thse lnging t be pilts find schlarships fr flight training.
Lking t the future, besides applying t clleges with great labs, Angelina is explring the field f aerspace cybersecurity and mechatrnics—cmbining cmputer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.
“There's nt enugh ptimism in the wrld，” she says. “I have als been in situatins in my life where I've lst a lt f hpe. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situatin yu're in t make it smewhat better.”
( )24. What is Angelina's pursuit?

Sme peple tday might be early risers because f DNA they take after Neanderthals tens f thusands f years ag, suggests new research.
When early humans migrated frm Africa t Eurasia rughly 70，000 years ag, sme f them mated with Neanderthals, wh had already adapted t the clder, darker climates f the nrth. The ripple(涟漪) effects f that intermating still exist tday: Mdern humans f nn­African ancestry(血统) have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Sme f that DNA relates t sleep—mre specifically, the internal bdy clck knwn as the circadian rhythm.
Fr the new study, researchers cmpared DNA frm tday's humans and DNA frm Neanderthal fssils(化石). In bth grups, they fund sme f the same genetic variants invlved with the circadian rhythm. And they fund that mdern humans wh carry these variants als reprted being early risers.
Fr Neanderthals, being “mrning peple” might nt have been the real benefit f carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals' DNA gave them faster, mre flexible internal bdy clcks, which allwed them t adjust mre easily t annual changes in daylight. This cnnectin makes sense in the cntext f human histry. When early humans mved nrth ut f Africa, they wuld have experienced variable daylight hurs—shrter days in the winter and lnger days in the summer—fr the first time. The Neanderthals' circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans' ffspring(后代) adapt t this new envirnment.
Ntably, the findings d nt prve that Neanderthal genes are respnsible fr the sleep habits f all early risers. Lts f different factrs beynd genetics can cntribute, including scial and envirnmental influences. The study als nly included DNA frm a database called the U．K. Bibank—s the findings may nt necessarily apply t all mdern humans. Next, the research team hpes t study ther genetic databases t see if the same link hlds true fr peple f ther ancestries. If the findings d apply mre bradly, they may ne day be useful fr imprving sleep in the mdern wrld, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glwing smartphnes.
( )28. What des the new research fcus n?
A. DNA's dramatic changes. B. Genes' influence n early risers.
C. Neanderthals' sleeping patterns. D. Ancestrs' envirnmental adaptability.
( )29. What is paragraph 2 intended t shw cncerning the new research?
A. Histrical cntext. B. Additinal prf.
C. Sample analysis. D. Studying prcess.
( )30. What is the real benefit f carrying Neanderthal's DNA fr mdern humans?
A. Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily rutines.
C. Being mre flexible in their wrk. D. Pssessing a better circadian rhythm.
( )31. What can be inferred abut the findings frm the last paragraph?
A. They get prf frm ther studies.
B. They are cnfirmed by early risers.
C. They suggest ptential applicatins.
D. They reveal factrs in sleeping disrders.

I had t say smething after reading The Anxius Generatin. It is ging t sell well, because Jnathan Haidt is telling a scary stry abut children's develpment many parents are led t believe. Hwever, the bk's repeated suggestin that digital technlgies are rewiring ur children's brains and causing the epidemic(流行病) f mental illness is unsupprted by science. Wrse, the rude prpsal that scial media is t blame might distract(分心) us frm effectively respnding t the real causes f the current mental­health crisis in yung peple.
Researchers have searched fr the effects suggested by Haidt. Our effrts have prduced a mix f n, small and mixed assciatins. Mst data are crrelative. When assciatins ver time are fund, they suggest nt that scial­media use predicts r causes depressin, but that yung peple wh already have mental­health prblems use such platfrms mre ften r in different ways frm their healthy peers.
We are nt alne here. Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize n the__same__message. An analysis dne in 72 cuntries shws n cnsistent r measurable assciatins between well­being and scial media glbally. Mrever, studies frm sme authrities finds n evidence f intense changes assciated with digital­technlgy use.
As a psychlgist studying children's and adlescents' mental health, I appreciate parents' frustratin(沮丧) and desire fr simple answers. As a parent f adlescents, I wuld als like t identify a simple surce fr the pain this generatin is reprting. There are, hwever, n simple answers. The beginning and develpment f mental disrders are driven by a cmplex set f genetic and envirnmental factrs.
Mre yung peple are talking penly abut their mental­health struggles than ever befre. But insufficient services are available t address their needs. In the United States, there is, n average, ne schl psychlgist fr every 1，119 students. We have a generatin in crisis and in desperate need f the best f what science and evidence­based slutins can ffer. Unfrtunately, ur time is being spent telling stries that are unsupprted by research and that d little t supprt yung peple wh need, and deserve, mre.
( )32. What is presented in The Anxius Generatin?
A. Scary stries affect children's brains.
B. Parents are respnsible fr children's health.
C. Teen's mental illness results frm screen time.
D. The epidemic f mental illness is unavidable.
( )33. What des “the same message” underlined in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Many cuntries d research in mental health.
B. Well­being and scial media are clsely related.
C. The yung are trapped in the mental­health crisis.
D. Scial media dn't necessarily cause mental illness.
( )34. What is implied in the last paragraph?
A. Effective actins need t be taken. B. Psitive stries shuld be shared.
C. Financial supprt needs t be prvided. D. Brader research shuld be dne.
( )35. What is the authr's purpse in writing the text?
A. T suggest ways t help thse in need.
B. T encurage parents t brave the crisis.
C. T recmmend a newly­published bk.
D. T give a vice t children's mental issues.
