Baking lover and her bakery with “silent” staffers
Some people may open a bakery to turn their passion into a profession. Some open a bakery to realize their childhood dream. For Zheng Xiaoyan, founder of Silent Bread Tree, the main reason she chose to do so is less common.
The idea to open a bakery emerged when Zheng learned from a silent friend in a baking course about the difficulties they face in job hunting. She began to wonder what she could do for them, until she got inspiration from the success of a bakery in Changsha, which is run by a German couple that hires silent people. “I decided that I would also open a bakery like theirs to help some silent people in need,” told Zheng.
“And that’s why I named it ‘Silent Bread Tree’. Hopefully the jobs provided here can help the silent people feed themselves, just like bread trees feed people with their bread-like fruit,” Zheng added.
The bakery has 16 employees, six of whom are hearing and speech-impaired (有…障碍的). The principle here is to treat all staffs in the same way wherever possible, and avoid signs indicating which staff members are different. “When we asked whether to put the words ‘Pat me if you need help’ on the back of their uniform, our silent staffs said ‘No’. That was when I realized that they just don’t want others to know they’re different,” Zheng recalled.
Although knowing what she could do for the silent community is very limited, Zheng said the efforts the silent staffs have made to keep the bakery running keep inspiring her to do even more. For every product sold, the bakery donates 0.01 yuan to help provide artificial cochlea implants (人工耳蜗) to the hearing and speech-impaired children in rural areas.
“If hearing-impaired children could have artificial cochleae implants at an early age, their lives could be completely transformed. They would be able to live like people with no difficulties in hearing,” said Zheng.
24. Why did Zheng open the bakery
To offer the silent people jobs.
To make her dream come true.
To turn her hobby into a career.
To learn from the German couple.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
The story about the bread tree.
The meaning of the bakery name.
Zheng’s expectation of the future.
Zheng’s satisfaction with her store.
26. What can we learn about the silent staffs from paragraph 4
They value equal treatment.
They enjoy great social respect.
They consider customers disturbing.
They have poor communication skills.
27. Which word best describes Zheng
Confident.
Optimistic.
Broad-minded.
Kind-hearted.

For many years researchers focused on what people know about science, thinking that “To know science is to love it.” But do people who think they know science actually know science A new study led by Cristina Fonseca of the Genetics Society, Laurence Hurst of the Milner Centre for Evolution (进化) reveals that people with strong attitudes tend to believe they understand science, while neutrals (中立者) are less certain. Absolute attitudes, both for and against, build on high self-confidence in knowledge about science.
The study performed a survey of over 2,000 UK adults, asking them both about their attitudes to science and their belief in their own understanding. Questions focused on genetic (基因的) science, for example, “How would you rate your understanding of what the term DNA means ” All individuals were scored from zero (they know they have no understanding) to one (they are confident that they understand). The results suggest that those at the attitudinal extremes — both strongly supportive and firmly opposing — have very high self-belief in their own comprehension, while those answering neutrally do not.
Psychologically, the team suggests, this makes sense: to hold a strong opinion you need to strongly believe in the correctness of your interpretation of the basic facts. Results of previous studies also indicate that those more accepting of science both believe they understand it and score well on the textbook fact (true/false) questions. By contrast, people with strong negative attitudes to science tend to be overconfident about their level of understanding.
Whether it be climate change or GM foods, important science can inspire strong and opposing attitudes. Understanding how to communicate science requires an awareness of why people may hold such different attitudes to it. When it was thought that what mattered most for scientific literacy was scientific knowledge, science communication focused on passing information from scientists to the public. However, this approach may not be successful, and in some cases can have adverse effects. Working to address the gap between what people know and what they believe they know may be a better strategy.
28. What is the new study mainly about
An assessment of people’s interest in genetics.
A survey of various attitudes towards evolution.
A report of people’s general knowledge of science.
An analysis of factors on people’s belief in science.
29. Why does the author mention previous studies in paragraph 3
To support the findings of the study.
To clarify the concept of confidence.
To stress the importance of basic facts.
To compare different research methods.
30. What does the underlined word “adverse” mean in the last paragraph
Random.
Negative.
Indirect.
Favorable.
31. As for science communication, which would the author agree with
It should help people boost confidence.
It should focus on scientific knowledge.
It should inspire people to score well in tests.
It should emphasize objective awareness of oneself.

Whether playing tricks or holding funerals in the wild, crows have surprised the public with their unexpected capabilities. But their “intelligence” knows no bounds. A new study published in Current Biology revealed for the first time that crows can use statistical logic to solve problems.
Crows have a large brain for their size and a particularly noticeable forebrain, associated with statistical and analytical reasoning in humans. “In our lab, crows have shown complicated numerical competence and careful consideration during decision-making,” said Dr. Melissa Johnston, a fellow at the University of Tübingen. In her recent work, Johnston and her team pushed these abilities to a new extreme, testing statistical reasoning.
In the experiment, two crows were first trained to peck(啄) at various images on touchscreens to earn food treats; and gradually they had to choose between two of these images, each corresponding to a different reward probability. “Crows were tasked with learning rather abstract quantities and then applying that combination of information in a reward maximizing way,” Johnston detailed. Over 10 days of training and 5,000 trials, the two crows managed to pick the higher probability of reward, showing their ability to use statistical inference. To researchers’ much surprise, even after a month without training, the crows still perform well every time.
Statistical reasoning involves using limited information about a situation to draw conclusions and make decisions. People unknowingly use such cognitive ability every day. When we select cafes for social meetups, our brains automatically weigh collected statistics from past observations and favor the one more capable of meeting needs. Similarly, crows remembered and analyzed the connections between the images and the reward probabilities to make themselves get the most treats possible.
Crows once symbolized misfortune and death, causing them disliked even killed by people. Actually, they are among the few animals to adapt to urbanization successfully due to underestimated intelligence. “I think these studies do help change public views and improve our relationship with these lovely animals,” Johnston stated.
32. What makes crows’ intelligence possible
Their limitless abilities of tricks.
Their social leaning in the wild.
Their physical structure of brains.
Their training received in the lab.
33. Which of the following best describes the research process in paragraph 3
Instruct, task, and retest.
Train, perform, and record.
Assume, prove, and reflect.
Prepare, teach, and examine.
34. How does the author explain statistical inference in paragraph 4
By sharing a personal experience.
By quoting a previous study.
By making a detailed comparison.
By using a common example.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
Food Prize Competition: Crows Choosing Rewards.
Urban Bird Survival Strategies: Living with People.
Beyond Tricks: Surprise of Crows’ Statistical Reasoning.
Animal Behavior Study: Training Crows in Experiments.

This is something that all of us have noticed countless times in our daily lives. Whether you’re trying to read the fine print in a commercial or trying to make out a person’s face from a distance — it always helps to see better when you squint (眯起) your eyes. 36
There’s a common assumption that you’re adding much stress to your eyeballs by squeezing them to make them work better. 37 If you think for a while, you’ll find squinting is a different matter. If squinting meant making your eyes become stress balls, we’d all be in a lot of trouble.
38 When light hits an object, it bounces off its surface and enters our eyes. The light travels through the eye lens (晶状体). The lens then focuses the light rays, which fall on the
retina (视网膜). A chemical present in the retina turns light into electric signals, which are then transmitted to the brain. The brain processes the signals and ultimately allows us to see stuff.
The act of squinting, quite obviously, alters the shape of the space through which light passes, which helps us form a clear image on the retina. What’s more, light from different directions enters and is subsequently perceived by the eye. 39 However, when you’re trying to focus on something, if there’s light entering from multiple directions, the lens will be overloaded. By squinting, focusing light rays becomes more precise.
Squinting does not damage your eyesight. 40 It’s one thing to occasionally squint in order to make out something far away. But if you find yourself doing it all the time, getting your eyes tested should be your focus.
Actually, that’s not exactly the case.
Has it ever occurred to you why this happens
Squinting does two major things to improve our vision.
However, doing it for long periods of time can lead to dry eyes.
Normally, this is a great thing, as it feeds your situational awareness.
A number of biological components actually constitute the human eye.
Before revealing the secret behind it, let’s learn about how we see things.

generate one-minute-long high-definition videos based on user input inspires. 56 its functions are not new to artificial intelligence models, Sora has made a major step forward. OpenAI claimed in 57 news release that Sora will become an important milestone in
achieving Artificial General Intelligence.
Yet however realistic Sora videos may appear, they are still digital simulations and not real

The development of AI-created videos lead to a phenomenon called “Post-truth”, 59 (refer) to a cultural climate in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief. The birth of Sora videos might make the situation 60 (bad).
Before popularizing such new technology as Sora, the challenges should be assessed and prepared for in advance. For instance, the government could make it compulsory for information providers 61 (identify) their provided information. 62 (addition), the emergence of Sora may lead to significant job losses in related industries such as film and television, 63 is a significant social risk that cannot be ignored.
There have already been numerous in-depth studies on the potential job losses caused by the large-scale application of AI, and many a solution 64 (propose), including slowing down the pace of AI technology application, assisting in reemployment, and imposing AI 65 (tax). Now, the overnight popularity of Sora reminds people that it is time to accelerate, refine and implement these measures.

Jack’s grandfather lived in the countryside. One summer holiday, he went to visit his grandfather, with whom he played all the time. One day he suddenly said to his grandfather, “When I grow up, I want to become a successful man. Can you tell me some ways to be successful ”
Seeing Jack’s innocent eyes, the grandfather nodded. However, without saying anything, he took Jack to a nearby nursery. From the nursery, his grandpa bought two small plants and came back home. Then he planted one plant in a pot and kept it inside the house and planted the other outside the house. After finishing planting, he asked Jack, “Which of these two plants do you think will grow better in the future ”
Jack kept thinking for some time and then said, “That plant inside the house will grow better because it is safe from every danger while the plant outside is at risk of many things like strong sunlight, storms, animals and so on.”
The grandfather smiled and said, “Let’s see what will happen in the future.” After that Jack left with his parents. Four years later, Jack came back to visit his grandfather again. Upon seeing his grandfather, Jack said, “Grandpa, last time I asked you some ways to be successful, but you did not tell me anything. This time you have to tell me.”
The grandfather smiled and said, “Sure, but first, let’s take a look at the plants that we bought a few years ago.”
Saying this, he took Jack to the place where he had planted the small plant in a pot. Jack found the plant had turned into a tree. Then the grandfather took Jack to look at the plant which they had planted outside. There stood a huge tree. Its branches spread far and wide, providing shade to passers-by.

A quote I admire from the famous scientist Isaac Newton
My favorite quote from Isaac Newton, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants,” captivates me deeply.
I admire it because it teaches us humility. Newton recognizes that every great leap forward of his own is built upon the foundations laid by those who came before, the giants of the past. This humility inspires me to seek knowledge with an open mind and gratitude.
From this quote, I've learned the importance of building upon the achievements of others. In my studies, I strive to integrate the wisdom of my teachers, peers, and the scientific community. By standing on these “shoulders,” I hope to contribute my own insights and further the quest for knowledge.

The grandfather looked at Jack and asked, “Tell me which plant grew better ” Jack pointed at the huge tree standing outside with a confused look. Seeing the boy’s innocent eyes and sensing his uncertainty, the grandfather explained that while the plant outside had to face many challenges, overcoming these difficulties ultimately made it stronger. With a smile, he added, “In order to fight against rainstorms, it needed to stand firm; to survive droughts, it should force itself to root in depth. As a result, it grew strong and resilient, capable of enduring anything. Isn’t it impressive ” (83 words)
Jack nodded, the grandfather continued his words. “Four years ago, you asked me about ways to be successful. Now, the tree is the answer,” the grandfather said.
