Every time yur fingers tuch yur cell phne, they leave behind traces f chemicals. And each chemical ffers clues t yu and yur activities. By analyzing them, scientists might be able t piece tgether a stry abut yur recent life, a new study finds.
A mlecule（分子）is a grup f atms. It represents the smallest amunt f sme chemical. Yur skin is cvered in mlecules picked up by everything yu've tuched. With each new thing yur skin cntacts, yu leave behind sme small share f what it'd tuched earlier.
Researchers at the University f Califrnia. San Dieg（UCSD）recently analyzed such chemical leftvers n the phnes f 39 vlunteers. The study was led by bichemist Amina Buslimani. T explre thse remains, the UCSD team wiped the surface f each vlunteer's phne with a cttn swab（药棉签）. The scientists als swabbed each persn's right hand.
Then the researchers cmpared the chemicals fund n each cell phne. The scientists discvered as many f the mlecules as they culd. They then cmpared these t a database f chemicals. Pieter Drrestein. a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which cntains varius substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.
Traces f anywhere frm hundreds t thusands f different mlecules turned up n each phne. The mlecules reflected what had been in the bdy, and what each persn had handled befre tuching the phne. Frm all these mlecules, Buslimani says, "We culd tell if a persn is likely female, uses high-end csmetics（化妆品）, dyes her hair, drinks cffee, prefers beer ver wine r likes spicy fd."
Plice already use mlecular analyses t lk fr traces f explsives r illegal drugs. T date, Drrestein says he's never heard f plice using phne remains t narrw dwn behaviral clues t search fr a suspect. But detectives might ne day use such data t track dwn smene wh left a phne behind at a crime scene.
24. What can we cnclude abut the user by analyzing the leftvers n the phne?
A. Persnality. B. Intelligence. C. Appearance. D. Lifestyle.
25. What was the first thing needed t be dne fr the study?
A. Cmparing different chemicals. B. Hiring vlunteers with cell phnes.
C. Building a database cntaining chemicals. D. Cllecting the chemicals frm phnes.
26. What's the authr's attitude twards the applicatin f the research finding?
A. Uninterested. B. Disappinted. C. Dubtful. D. Psitive.
27. What shuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Fingers Leave Clues abut Yu n Yur Phne
B. Yur Phne May be Hme t Varius Chemicals
C. Mlecules Are Used t Search fr Illegal Drugs
D. Cell Phnes Will be Used in Mre and Mre Fields

Is bredm a thing f the past, like black-and-white televisin? And, if s, is that a gd thing? Julie Rbinsn, a frmer teacher wh nw represents the Independent Assciatin f Prep Schls, thinks that bredm is regarded as an enemy f tday's children, and they are lsing the ability t becme thughtful and reflective（沉思的）.
"We shuld nt fear bredm." said Julie Rbinsn. "Bredm is valuable t children. Quiet, reflective time is just as imprtant as purpseful activity, " she added.
Her pinin is that cnstant（连续不断的）activity fr a child, ften the result f the dreams f parents, will lead t cncerned and wrrying adult. The traditinal ideas that children shuld be cnstantly active culd prevent the develpment f their imaginatin. S anything that imprves a greater thughtfulness is t be warmly welcmed.
Parents nw feel a sense f failure when they hear their children cmplain abut being bred. They seek an electrnic devices（设备）t play games at nce. And we didn't feel bred during lng car jurneys anymre by the impatient "Are we there yet?" because all kinds f electrnic devices have been taken alng t avid even a minute f bredm. S what chance d children have t allw their thughts t wander?
But it's nt just children wh need lessns in reflectin. Adults need that, t. On my train jurney t wrk this mrning, I culdn't see a single persn wh wasn't using an electrnic device. N ne was simply lking ut f the windw at the beautiful views f the cunty side. Nt time fr quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails t send, texts t read, and games t play. The wider wrld, seemingly, didn't exist. The mbile phne has changed many things abut ur lives, and has develped an inability—amng adults as well as children—t live in the present. What Julie Rbinsn regards is a crss-generatinal phenmenn: the fear f "inactivity". And she is right.
28. Julie Rbinsn thinks bredm is useful because it makes children____________.
A. find effective slutins t scial prblems
B. imprve the ability t learn knwledge
C. have time t think and have their imaginatin develped
D. cmmunicate mre with their parents and friends
29. Which f the fllwing is seen as "inactivity" accrding t the last paragraph?
A. Sending emails n a train.
B. Playing games with friends.
C. Planning cnstant activity fr children.
D. Lking ut f the windw at the beautiful views.
30. The authr mentined the train jurney t shw that_________.
A. the trip n a quiet train was very bring
B. the view f the cuntryside was beautiful
C. peple had t much wrk t d
D. electrnic devices influence peple's life greatly
31. Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. Bth adults and children like t stay alne and recall their past days.
B. Peple fail t leave their children enugh time t think and imagine.
C. Electrnic devices are always gd fr bth children and adults.
D. Parents shuld tell their children hw t use a mbile phne.

This year, peple arund the wrld are lining up t buy electric vehicles even as prices increase. Electric vehicle, EV, demand has stayed strng even as the average cst f lithiumin（锂离子）battery cells increased t an estimated $160 per kilwatt-hur in the first quarter frm $105 last year. Csts rse due t supply issues, restrictins n Russian metals and investr speculatin（投机）.
Fr a smaller vehicle like the Hngguang Mini, the best-selling EV in China, the higher battery csts added almst $1, 500, equal t 30 percent f the listed price. But gasline and diesel fuel csts have als increased since the cnflict between Russia and Ukraine, and experts nted that envirnmental cncerns are als pushing mre buyers t chse EVs.
Manufacturers frm Tesla t SAIC-GM-Wuling, which makes the Hngguang Mini, have passed higher csts n t cnsumers with price increases fr EVs. Mre may be cming. Andy Palmer, chairman f Slvak EV battery maker InBat, said, "rising csts will have t be passed nt carmakers." But EV shppers have s far nt slwed dwn. Wrldwide EV sales in the first quarter jumped nearly 120 percent, said the website EV-vlumes. cm.
Venkat Srinivasan is directr f the Center fr Cllabrative Energy Strage Science at the U.S. gvernment's Argnne Natinal Labratry in Chicag. He said, "mre and mre peple wuld buy EVs despite the cst f the battery and the vehicle."
This increase in battery csts culd be an unusual shrt-term change in a situatin in which imprving technlgy and grwing prductin have pushed csts dwn fr almst 30 years. Industry data shwed that the $105 per kilwatt hur average cst in 2021 was dwn nearly 99 percent frm ver $7,500 in 1991.
Experts say battery csts culd stay high fr the next year r s, but then anther large drp is likely as big investments by autmakers and suppliers change the balance frm shrtage t surplus（过剩）. "It's like a bubble and fr that bubble t settle dwn, it's ging t be at least the end f 2024," said Prabhakar Patil, a frmer LG Chem executive.
The industry has lng been awaiting the battery cell cst f $100 per kilwatt-hur, as a signal EVs were reaching a similar cst t fssil-fuel vehicles. But with gasline prices high and cnsumer preferences changing, such cst cnsideratins may n lnger matter as much, experts say.
32. Why des the authr mentin Hngguang Mini?
A. T present a fact. C. T intrduce a tpic.
B. T give an example. D. T make an assumptin.
33. What will pssibly lead t the drp in battery csts in the future?
A. Mre EV shps. B. Prductin grwth.
C. Enugh supplies. D. Technlgy imprvement.
34. What des the authr think f the future f EVs?
A. Prmising. B. Unclear. C. Dubtful. D. Cnfusing.
35. What can be inferred frm the text?
A. At present demands fr EVs beat supplies. B. Peple prefer EVs mainly because f cst.
C. EVs sell much better than fssil-fuel vehicles. D. Peple cncern price mre when buying cars.

During my last year f schl, I was given the pprtunity t visit an adviser and I drve her crazy with my chices.
My first chice was a chclate tester. I discvered that chclate testers earn a lt f mney. s I was sure I had fund my dream jb. Hwever, when I fund ut that chclate testers dn`t just sit arund eating chclate all day, they are als invlved in the marketing and prmtin f the prduct. I finally gave it up.
Next, I thught f becming a ftball referee. I had lved ftball frm a yung age, but I culdn’t play well. Anyway, it seems that referees must be able t run 2.5 miles in less than twelve minutes and they are required t take exams thrughut their training. On tp f that, nly after many years f experience-and if they are lucky-d they get the chance t referee big prfessinal matches. S, my dream f shwing Linel Messi a red card disappeared.
Finally, I had this perfect idea f becming a ds stylist after I realized hw much mney ur dg stylist was being paid. Hwever, nce, while a yung girl was styling ur Sptty, I nticed he tried t bite her. As yu can imagine, that really put me f.
All this research made me realize I had a gift fr cllecting infrmatin, s I had decided t becme a jurnalist.
