It’s a classic stry: A kid is frced t learn an instrument frm a yung age, they play it thrughut their childhd, and they develp a bittersweet relatinship with it. Is the cnstant battle between the lve fr the music and the hate fr the cnstant challenge wrth the fight? Fr me, it was.
I started playing the pian when I was fur-that was 15 years ag! This was huge cmmitment, s there must have been smething wrth hlding n t, right?
The easy guess is that I was purely in lve with music and pian. Althugh that’s the sweeter tale, it’s a bit mre cmplicated. I struggled a lt with pian. Family and peers were, at least in my wn head, cnstantly placed beside me in cmpetitin. I felt pressure t be the best in rder t prve smething t thers-and mre devastatingly (破坏性地) t prve smething t myself. The seed f my musical interest was grwn in the sunlight f cmpetitin and dubt. Hate spruted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit t hard.
It’s difficult t learn t lve smething that didn’t riginate frm lve. Fr a while, pian was mre f an annyance than a hbby. But smehw, lve grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high schl,it was strng enugh that when I was truly n the verge f quitting any kind f frmal training. I fund the strength t hld n tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and gt incredibly lucky with ne wh helped me tunnel int what I lved. I learned pieces fr myself, I cmpsed fr myself, and I fund cnfidence nt because I gt “gd enugh,” but because I learned that anything I had was gd enugh.
The lve and hate I’ve had fr the pian were bth planted and grwn. If yu t have learned t hate smething, remember that with cmmitment, it can be uprted, and lve can make a hme in its place. There is always time. There is always rm.
24. What des the authr want t shw by telling a classic stry?
A. The benefits f music.
B. Kids’ struggle in learning instruments.
C. Kids’ bittersweet childhd.
D. The ppularity f learning instruments.
25. What can we knw abut the authr’s experience f playing the pian?

C. She was in pure lve with music and pian.
D. She nce experienced great pressure frm herself.
26. What helped the authr find cnfidence?
A. Her attitude.B. Her training.
C. Her cmprmise.D. Her achievement.
27. What message is mainly delivered in the passage?
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Lve is a thing that grws.
C. Cntent is better than riches.
D. Chance favrs the prepared mind.

Falling birth rates are a majr cncern fr sme f Asia’s biggest ecnmies. Gvernment s in the regin are spending hundreds f billins f dllars trying t reverse the trend. Will it wrk?
Japan began intrducing plicies t encurage cuples t have mre children in the 1990s. Suth Krea started ding the same in the 2000s, while Singapre’s first fertility (生育) plicy dates back t 1987. China, which has seen its ppulatin fall fr the first time in 60 years, recently jined the grwing club.
While it is difficult t quantify exactly hw much these plicies have cst, Suth Krean President YnSuk-yel recently said his cuntry had spent mre than $200bn (£160bn) ver the past 16 years n trying t bst the ppulatin. Yet last year Suth Krea brke its wn recrd fr the wrld’s lwest fertility rate, with the average number f babies expected per wman falling t 0.78. In neighburing Japan, which had recrd lw births f fewer than 800,000 last year, Prime Minister Fumi Kishida has prmised t duble the budget fr child-related plicies frm 10tn yen ($74.7bn; £59.2bn).
Having a bigger ppulatin wh can wrk and prduce mre gds and services leads t higher ecnmic grwth. And while a larger ppulatin can mean higher csts fr gvernments, it can als result in bigger tax revenues (税收). Als, many Asian cuntries are ageing rapidly. Japan leads the pack with nearly 30% f its ppulatin nw ver the age f 65 and sme ther natins in the regin are nt far behind. Cmpare that with India, which has just vertaken China as the wrld’s mst ppulus natin. Mre than a quarter f its peple are between the age f 10 and 20, which gives its ecnmy huge ptential fr grwth. And when the share f the wrking age ppulatin gets smaller, the cst and burden f lking after the nn-wrking ppulatin grw. “Negative ppulatin grwth has an impact n the ecnmy, and tgether with an ageing ppulatin, they wn’t be able t affrd t supprt the elderly,” said Xiujian Peng f Victria University.
28. Which Asian cuntry first tk measures t increase ppulatin in this passage?
A. Japan.B. Suth Krea.C. Singapre.D. China.
29. What can we learn abut the ppulatin f Asian cuntries frm the passage?
A. Japan hit the lwest recrd f new-brn babies last year.
B. India has the largest and yungest ppulatin in the wrld.
C. China’s ppulatin has been decreasing in the recent 60 years.
D. Suth Krea had the lwest ppulatin recrd last year in the wrld.
30. What can we infer frm paragraph 4?
A. The ecnmy f India will vertake that f Japan.
B. Negative ppulatin grwth leads t an ageing ppulatin.
C. The larger the ppulatin is, the better the ecnmy will be.
D. A bigger share f wrking age ppulatin helps supprt the elderly.
31. What’s the main idea f this passage?
A. Lw birth rate is a negative factr fr ecnmy.
B. China is jining the cuntries f lw birth rate.
C. Many Asian cuntries came t negative ppulatin grwth.
D. Many Asian cuntries are trying all ut t battle lw birth rate.

That artificial fd dyes (染料) are unhealthy is nt news. Sme are knwn t cause hyperactivity (多动症) in sme children, affecting their ability t learn. But regulatry agencies (监管机构) arund the wrld dn’t necessarily agree n which fd dyes are a prblem, r why. That may sn change. A 2021 peer-reviewed reprt by Califrnia’s Office f Envirnmental Health Hazard Assessment cncluded that artificial fd dyes “cause r wrsen neurbehaviral (神经行为) prblems in sme children” and that the current levels that are regarded safe fr cnsumptin by the federal gvernment are t high.
Califrnia is nw cnsidering requiring warning labels n fd prducts and dietary supplements cntaining the seven mst cmmnly used artificial dyes. The warning label requirement wuld put Califrnia n par with the Eurpean Unin, which since 2010 has required fd prducts cntaining certain artificial fd dyes t carry warning labels abut their negative effect n activity and attentin in children.
Artificial dyes are used in fds fr ne reasn: t make prducts lk prettier. Bright clrs make candies appealing, especially t kids. But dyes are als in chclate cake mixes, salad dressings and ther prducts that dn’t seem t cry ut fr a clr bst.
In Eurpe, it was the 2010 label lawmaking that triggered (引发) cmpanies’ decisins t refrmulate. “If yu’re a cmpany, yu d nt want t put a warning label n yur prduct.” says Lefferts, an envirnmental health cnsultant. Warning labels are why Eurpean Starburst Fruit Chews are nw clred with natural prducts, nt the artificial dyes that brighten their Nrth American cunterparts (同类商品).
Given that artificial fd dyes are used far mre than needed, we need t be mre cautius. After all, we dn’t dye fresh fruits and vegetables, but we d dye candy and sprinkles, pints ut Je Schwarcz, a chemistry prfessr at McGill University in Mntreal. “The fds in which yu find fd dyes are fds that are pr in nutritin,” he says. “If yu limit fds that cntain fd dyes, yu autmatically make yur diet better.”
32. What can we learn abut artificial fd dyes frm paragraph 1?
A. A 2021 reprt cnfirmed their negative effects.
B. The fact that they are harmful is newly revealed.
C. Regulatry agencies cnsider them a serius prblem.
D. The Federal gvernment thinks their current standard t high.
33. What des the underlined part “n par with” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. In ppsitin t.B. In line with.C. Ahead f.D. Behind.
34. Which might be a pssible result f the new rule accrding t the article?
A. Fd cmpanies will stp clring their prducts.
B. Mre fresh fruits and vegetables will appear in the market.
C. Fd cmpanies may replace artificial dyes with natural prducts.
D. It will be hard t find packaged fds withut warning labels f dyes.
35. What’s Je Schwarcz’s attitude twards artificial fd dyes?
A. Apprving.B. Neutral.C. Tlerant.D. Cncerned.

One day my grandfather gave me a gift — a piggy bank. It had an pening thrugh which ne culd put mney in, but the pening was nt big enugh t reach in and get the mney ut. The nly way t get at the mney was t break the piggy bank pen. My grandfather explained that was the whle idea: the piggy bank wuld help save my mney s that, at the end f the year, I might have enugh fr that bike I dreamt abut. He asked if I wuld put sme f the mney he gave me int the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and prmised that I wuldn’t break it pen until I culd affrd my dream bike.
Whenever he gave me a little bit f mney, he wuld say, “This is fr spending. But yu can save sme and put it in the piggy bank if yu want t save it up.” When he gave me larger amunts, it was clearly fr saving in the piggy bank. Fr sme time, this wrked fine. I lved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sund f the cins. As it became heavier, I grew mre excited, dreaming abut buying my new bike, and all the adventures I culd have n it.
Whenever I wanted t take sme mney frm the piggy bank t buy delicius ice-creams r beautiful pens, I wuld imagine riding my bike n the street, and thinking f that, my thughts abut ice-creams r pens went away. S fr almst six mnths, I nly put mney int the piggy bank withut taking any ut. I thught I wuldn’t break my piggy bank fr anything. But ne day smething unexpected happened. I saw a piece f news n the televisin that a serius earthquake (地震) had happened in a nearby prvince. As many huses were destryed, a lt f children became hmeless. Seeing their shabby clthes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night.
