Apart frm her financial cntributins, Swift made a significant cultural impact by taking back cntrl f her music. In 2019, her ld recrd label, Big Machine, sld the master tapes f her first six albums (专辑) t Scter Braun. The sale meant that she didn’t have the rights t the albums.

Take a perid f limited rainfall. Add heat. And yu have what scientists call a ‘ht drught’ — dry cnditins made mre intense by the evaprative pwer f htter temperatures.
A new study, published in the jurnal Science Advances, Wednesday, finds that ht drughts have becme mre cmmn and severe acrss the western U.S. as a result f human-caused climate change. “The frequency f cmpund warm and dry summers particularly in the last 20 years is unprecedented,” said Karen King, lead authr f the study and an assistant prfessr at the University f Tennessee in Knxville.
Fr much f the last 20 years, western Nrth America has been under the cntrl f a huge drught that has strained crp prducers, city planners and water managers. Scientists believe it t be the driest perid in the regin in at least 1,200 years. They reached that determinatin, in part, by studying the rings f trees cllected frm thusands f sites acrss the Western U.S..
Crss-sectins r cres f trees, bth living and dead, can ffer scientists windws int climate cnditins f the past. Dark scars can shw where fires have burned. Pale rings can indicate insect utbreaks. “Narrw rings mean less water,” said King, a dendrchrnlgist, wh specialized in tree ring dating. “Fatter rings, mre water.” Scientists have lked at tree ring widths t understand hw much water was in the sil at a given time. King and fellw researchers did smething different. They wanted t investigate the density (密度) f individual rings t get a picture f histrical temperatures. In htter years, trees build thick walls t prtect their water.
By cmbining that temperature data with anther tree-ring-surced dataset lking at sil misture (湿度), the researchers shwed that tday’s htter temperatures have made the current western huge drught different frm its past nes.
It als suggests that future drughts will be wrsened by higher temperatures, particularly in the Great Plains, hme t ne f the wrld’s largest aquifers, and the Clrad River Basin, the surce f water fr sme 40 millin peple.
28. What led t ht drughts?
A. Abundant rainfall.B. Climate change.
C. Apprpriate temperatures.D. Dry summers.
29. What des the underlined wrd “strained” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Prtected.B. Surprised.C. Stressed.D. Helped.
30. What d the researchers find abut ht drughts?
A. They will nt happen in the future. B. They are affected by thse tree rings.
C. They are similar in intensity t past drughts.D. They have becme mre frequent and severe.
31. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A. T entertain readers with a fictinal stry.B. T persuade readers t prtect envirnment.
C. T infrm readers f severity f ht drughts.D. T share persnal experiences and reflectins.

A lessn frm my sister
My elder sister was different. She was scially awkward. She culd nt lk at peple in the eye. She wuld mumble (嘟哝) t herself and repeat the wrds she had just said. The child psychlgist had termed it as “Asperger Syndrme”.
She, hwever, was academically capable. Therefre, we attended the same primary schl. Despite this, I never, ever admitted in public that she was my sister. There was ne incident, hwever, that changed hw I viewed my sister. It was the incident that changed me.
Being in primary six, abut t graduate, the schl had made it a must fr everyne t perfrm. Due t my sister’s inability t wrk tgether with thers, she had t d it individually.
“I’ll sing,” my sister tld my parents cnfidently. Hearing that, I was cmpletely shcked. Hw culd my sister, wh was scially awkward, sing in frnt f the schl? I knew s well that if this happened, she wuld surely embarrass me.
Silently I prayed I wuld nt have t watch my sister disgrace herself. It is fine. N ne knws she is yur sister. I remember telling myself these exact lines as I sat in the hall, waiting fr the perfrmances t start.
The lights dimmed and the curtains parted t reveal the nly sl — my sister. It tk abut a whle minute fr her t speak ut her name and class and by that time, whispers were heard in the audience. “Why is she taking s lng?” Peple arund me asked. I sat nervusly in my seat, wishing I were smewhere else.
