My parents have a big cat at hme named Cmet. He has big ears, a large head, huge feet, and a gentle persnality—but we have n way f knwing fr sure. He came frm the lcal animal shelter. My brther and I didn't really want him, since he was a kitten and we wanted t adpt an adult cat because we thught the kittens wuld be mre likely t find anther hme, but my little sister insisted.
We brught Cmet hme that day. He sn fell ill and grew alarmingly weak—his ribs stuck ut, his eyes swelled, and his fur dulled. He became s fragile that I feared tuching him, thugh he clearly needed care.
Sme years later, I went hme ne afternn after having had an emtinal breakdwn. My whle life was upside dwn. I felt hllw, dead, an empty shell f a persn. I had n idea what pieces were even wrth picking up again.
I fund Cmet curled up in a crner that afternn. He'd been asleep, but he lifted his head and lked at me when I came in. I reached a hand tward him. He nuzzled it, immediately burst int a deep, lud purr, and gave me a perfectly cntent cat grin. I mved my hand dwn t scratch his back and sides, and he stretched luxuriusly, giving me lks f abslute adratin.
At that pint, it hit me: this cat lved me. The cat I didn't want, the cat I culdn't bear t take care f when his life depended n it, lved me. And he wuld always lve me. N matter what was ging n in my life, Cmet wuld still lk up frm a nap when I entered the rm, wuld still lve t be tuched by me.
I believe lve is steadfast. I believe that real lve, whether it cmes frm yur families, r a shelter cat, is ffered determinedly and uncnditinally. Lve is what enables us t pick up the pieces f ur brken lives and g n.
24.Why was the writer unwilling t adpt Cmet initially?

Can dctrs make better cancer treatment decisins if they cnsult fish? Previus studies have shwn that zebrafish avatars culd help identify cancer treatments. Rita Fir, a develpmental bilgist and her clleagues nw want t determine whether that ability can benefit patients.
Zebrafish avatars are tiny, fast-grwing mdels f individual cancer patients created by transplanting the patient's wn tumr (肿瘤) cells int 2-day-ld zebrafish embrys (胚胎). These tiny fish then act as living substitutes fr the patient, allwing researchers t test multiple cancer drugs r radiatin n the patient's tumr cells within 4-7 days—far quicker than traditinal muse mdels.
In a 2024 reprt in Nature Cmmunicatins, the scientists generated avatars fr 55 patients and putting the fish n the same type f chem-therapy the peple received. Fr 50 f the patients, the fish "predicted" the utcme f treatment. An added benefit, Fir says, is that avatars can reveal key characteristics f tumrs such as whether they are likely t spread.
Zebrafish are mre similar t humans than cell cultures and far cheaper t raise than mice. The small, transparent embrys are als easier t analyze, says Sfia de Oliveira, a bilgist at the Albert Einstein Cllege f Medicine. "Yu can visualize the whle animal under the micrscpe," she explains, "and easily determine the spread f cancer cells."
In the clinical trial, Fir and her team will test that prmise by separating cancer cells frm the fluid that builds up in the stmach f peple whse cancer cells have spread utside the riginal site and is usually drained as part f treatment. "We are nt ding an extra prcedure n the patients," she says. The cells will then be implanted int the fish embrys. Instead f testing experimental drugs, as many ther clinical trials d, the study will determine which cmbinatin f treatments wrks best. Mst f the patients will receive medicatins suggested by the zebrafish results.
28.What are zebrafish avatars?
A. Mdels f muse embrys.B. Radiatin n the tumr cells.
C. Drugs fr multiple cancers.D. Replacements fr cancer patients.
29.Hw d zebrafish avatars help dctrs with cancer treatments?
A. By frecasting treatment results.
B. By predicting where tumrs will spread.
C. By killing tumr cells in cancer patients.
D. By transplanting zebrafish cells int humans.
30.What makes zebrafish an ideal species fr cancer research?
A. Their similarity t cell cultures.B. Their small sizes and dark embrys.
C. Their lw cst and ease f analysis.D. Their cmplex appearance and structure.
31.What is the primary gal f the clinical trial led by Fir and her team?
A. T develp new experimental drugs fr cancers.
B. T test the safety f chem-therapy n zebrafish.
C. T identify the ideal cmbinatin f cancer therapies.
D. T separate cancer cells frm the fluid f cancer patients.

Why d sme peple feel such a strng bnd with celebrities, and what des this reveal abut their persnality and values? A new study published in the Internatinal Jurnal f Psychlgy has fund that peple wh strngly admire celebrities tend t scre higher in bth materialism and narcissism (自恋). The study als fund that peple wh perceive themselves as similar t their favrite celebrity are mre likely t have these attitudes.
The study, cnducted by Davis, Lcker, and Williams, recruited 215 undergraduates, mstly wmen, wh cmpleted a battery f questinnaires measuring their attitudes tward celebrities, materialistic values, and narcissistic tendencies. Participants als answered newly created questins that assessed hw similar they felt t their favrite celebrity in terms f persnality, appearance, r lifestyle.
Celebrity wrship was assessed with the Celebrity Attitude Scale (量表). Materialism was measured by examining hw much value peple place n wning things, hw imprtant pssessins are t their identity, and whether they believe material gds make them happier. Narcissism was measured in tw frms: grandise narcissism (characterized by cnfidence, entitlement, and dminance) and vulnerable narcissism (marked by insecurity, sensitivity t criticism, and a preccupatin with self-image).
The results shwed a cnsistent relatinship between celebrity wrship and materialism. Peple wh scred higher n celebrity wrship als tended t place greater imprtance n mney, status, and pssessins. When it came t narcissism, nly the vulnerable type, peple with higher levels f emtinal insecurity and self-fcus, were mre likely t feel strngly cnnected t celebrities. Mst imprtantly, perceived similarity—whether in appearance, behavir, r persnality—std ut as ne f the strngest predictrs f celebrity wrship.
The researchers cncluded, "celebrity wrship is a cmplex cnstruct, but perceived similarity with a favrite celebrity and vulnerable narcissism may be fruitful avenues fr future research." Still, an imprtant questin remains: d peple idlize celebrities because they already feel similar t them, r d they start t see themselves as similar after frming an emtinal attachment?
32.What is paragraph 2 abut?
A. The research backgrund.B. The research subjects.
C. The research results.D. The research methd.
33.Accrding t the study, wh are mre likely t wrship celebrities?
A. Thse indifferent t wealth and scial status.
B. Thse valuing self-cnfidence and dminance.
C. Thse emtinally insecure and self-fcused.
D. Thse seeking spiritual grwth beynd pssessins.
34.Accrding t the researchers, what might be a directin f future research?
A. Celebrity wrship.B. Grandise narcissism.
C. Materialism.D. Perceived similarity.
35.What is the main purpse f the text?
A. T explain celebrity wrship psychlgy.
B. T warn against the dangers f celebrity culture.
C. T criticize celebrity materialism and narcissism.

W: English is full f clrful idims, and sme fun expressins invlve smething as simple as beans. These bean-related idims add energy, humr, and clarity t everyday cnversatins. Fr example, when smene is “full f beans,” it means they’re energetic, lively, and full f enthusiasm. If yu say “cl beans,” that’s just a casual and cheerful way t express apprval. (18) But nt all bean-related idims are s psitive. If smething “desn’t amunt t a hill f beans,” it’s cnsidered unimprtant r insignificant. Besides, saying “tugh beans” is like saying “t bad”—a direct way t dismiss smene’s cmplaint. There are als idims tied t mney. A “bean cunter” refers t smene wh takes care f a cmpany’s financial affairs and is verly cncerned with csts, budgets, and financial details. (19) If peple “dn’t have a bean,” it means they have n mney. And finally, “magic beans”—a phrase frm the English fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk, refers t smething that seems wrthless at first but later turns ut t be surprisingly valuable. (20)
