The last time I visited my parents, I brrwed a nvel frm the shelves in my ld bedrm. The bks there nce belnged t me, but ver the decades, my father has taken ver the space. It’s fitting.
I grew up in a huse full f bks, free t explre anything, as lng as I returned it. But that’s harder nw. My parents, in their 80s, still live in Manhattan, while I’m in Ls Angeles.

Opening it felt like pening a cnversatin with my father, retracing his steps and reading thrugh his eyes. I enjyed the nvel, thugh that’s beside the pint.

When I finished, I ran my fingers ver my father’s mark n the cver, thse letters he’d pressed int the cver with a hand-held metal press, spelling ut a name the same as mine. Then I slipped the bk int my suitcase, certain t return it next time I visit.

As part f his effrts, Mr Hefnagels ran the scam emails his grandmther had received thrugh ppular AI chatbt ChatGPT.

Al tls such as ChatGPT and Ggle Gemini, can prduce new cntent. Originally, this was nly a text reply in respnse t a questin r cnversatin with them.

Native t suthwest China, pandas are famus fr their lve f bamb, spending up t 16 hurs a day cnsuming this fast-grwing plant. Pandas have puzzled bilgists fr decades with their bamb-nly diet. In spite f having digestive systems typical f meat-cnsuming animals, pandas have adapted t a diet that is almst entirely plant-based.
A recent study published in the jurnal Frntiers by researchers frm China West Nrmal University demnstrates hw this is pssible. The study reveals that bamb cntains micrRNA (miRNA), a genetic material that pandas absrb int their bldstream. This miRNA plays a crucial rle in regulating gene expressin, influencing pandas’ grwth, behavir and immune (免疫) respnses.
Dr. Li Feng, a senir authr f the study, explains in a statement that miRNA als affects pandas’ sense f smell, taste, and dpamine (多巴胺) pathways, all f which are clsely linked t their feeding habits. The researchers believe that by the time a baby panda grws up,it will develp the ability t pick the freshest and mst nutritius bamb, which enables them t adapt t a plant-based diet. The research team analyzed bld samples frm six pandas, identifying 57 kinds f miRNAs likely cming frm bamb. These findings suggest that miRNA is key t pandas’ adaptatin t their unique diet.
The study als highlights the ptential brader implicatins f this discvery. By understanding hw plant miRNA affects animals, scientists may be able t develp new treatments r preventive measures fr diseases. The panda’s diet cnsists almst entirely f bamb leaves, stems and shts. And nly abut 1% f their fd cmes frm ther plants, accrding t the Wrld Wildlife Fund (WWF). This research nt nly deepens ur understanding f pandas but als pens new ways fr explring the interactins between plant and animal bilgy.
32. What aspect f pandas is fcused n in the research?
A. Physical grwth.B. Scial behavir.
C. Hunting strategies.D. Genetic adaptatin.
33. Hw d pandas adapt t their plant-based diet ver time?
A. By learning t select bamb.
B. By increasing their cnsumptin.
C. By reducing their reliance n plants.
D. By develping strnger digestive systems.
34. What may be the psitive impact f the finding in the future?
A. Increasing the panda ppulatin.
B. Develping new medical treatments.
C. Changing pandas' digestive systems.
D. Imprving bamb planting techniques.
35. What is the authr's attitude twards the utcme f the study?
A. Curius.B. Critical.C. Optimistic.D. Dubtful.

Cngratulate yurself fr small wins

It will help t think them thrugh ahead f time and plan ut hw yu will handle them. Then, when the time cmes, yu wn't hesitate t execute yur plan.
A. Set realistic gals

D. But dn't wrry : Self-efficacy is smething that yu can build with practice.
E. If yu managed t make it t the gym nce, it's a lt easier t shw up n day tw.
F. And yu can harness(利用) all f that, all ver again, when yu start wrking n a new gal.

Finally, pening night arrived.When the curtain rse, the auditrium buzzed with amazement. In frnt f them were a magical land with rlling hills, a fancy carriage, and a glittering castle. Kristie, radiant in her Cinderella gwn, glanced at me with a grateful smile mid-scene. She was a wnderful Cinderella. As the clck struck midnight —Marked by Ms. Carsn’s twelve crisp triangle chimes — Kristie fled, leaving the glittering she n the center f the stage. Thunderus applause erupted, and my eyes stung with pride.
Then Ms. Carsn called me up t the stage. Cnfused, I stepped frward as the cast parted. “This prductin’s heart wasn’t just nstage,” she annunced, hlding up my sketchbk. “Wendy and her team brught ur wrld t life.” The audience cheered as Kristie thrust a buquet int my hands — paper flwers crafted frm painted rehearsal scripts. Standing there, I was bathed in sptlights I’d never imagined earning. Everyne clapped. Fr me! I did get a part in the play after all. And it was just as gd as being Cinderella.
