Speaking t The Guardian at the Third Internatinal Cnference n Human genetic editing, Prf Jennifer Dudna, a 2020 Nbel chemistry prize winner, said, “We’ll definitely be seeing genetic therapies (治疗；疗法) fr heart diseases, brain diseases, and eye cnditins.” But she warned, “One f the riskiest and mst realistic ptentials is that trials f gene editing in embrys (胚胎) will prbably fllw.”
The technlgy can and will smth the way fr therapies fr enhancing healthy humans, t make them faster, smarter, strnger, r mre resistant t diseases, thugh enhancement wuld be mre difficult than mending single faulty genes. Accrding t the experts at the cnference, including geneticists, public health researchers and philsphers, a wave f gene editing therapies were expected t reach clinics in the next five years r s. The therapies will crrect disease-causing disrders in tissues and rgans and becme mature as researchers wrk ut hw t make multiple edits at nce and reach difficult areas such as parts f the brain.
Hwever, Dudna and the ther experts als expressed their cncern that the next generatin f advanced genetic therapies raises serius issues that must be tackled t ensure the technlgy benefits patients and sciety.

Prf Mayana Zatz, at the University f Sã Paul, Brazil, said she was against editing genes fr imprvement but added, “There will always be peple ready t pay fr it in private clinics and it will be difficult t stp.”

Time and hw we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theries, but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is nt psychlgical time, which leaps with little regard t the clck r calendar. As smene wh understd the distinctin bserved, "When yu sit with a nice girl fr tw hurs it seems like a minute, but when yu sit n a ht stve, a minute seems like tw hurs."
Psychlgists have lng nticed that larger units f time, such as mnths and years, fly n swifter wings as we age. They als nte that the mre time is structured with schedules and appintments, the mre rapidly it seems t pass. Fr example, a day at the ffice flies cmpared with a day at the beach.
Expectatin and familiarity als make time seem t flw mre rapidly. Almst all f us have had the experience f driving smewhere we've never been befre. Surrunded by unfamiliar scenery, with n real idea f when we'll arrive, we experience the trip as if lasting a lng time. But the return trip, althugh exactly as lng, seems t take far less
time. The nvelty f the utward jurney has becme rutine.
When days becme as identical as beads (小珠子) n a string, they mix tgether, and even mnths becme a single day. T cunter this, try t find ways t interrupt the structure f yur day-t stp time, s t speak.
Learning smething new is ne f the ways t slw the passage f time. One f the reasns the days f ur yuth seems s full and lng is that these are the days f learning and discvery. Fr many f us, learning ends when we leave schl, but this desn't have t be.

B. Physical time is different frm psychlgical time.
C. Time shuld nt be measured by a pendulum.
D. Psychlgical time is quite puzzling.
29. Which f the fllwing will make yu feel time flies faster?
A. A day spent explring smething unknwn.B. Staying with a persn wh yu dislike.
C. A day packed with appintments t handle.D. Driving t a new place fr the first time.
30. What des "nvelty" in Paragraph 3 prbably means?
A. Amusement.B. Excitement.C. Imaginatin.D. Unfamiliarity.
31. What is the purpse f the passage?
A. T explain why time flies and hw t slw it dwn psychlgically.

Music streaming. Platfrms (平台) such as Sptify and Apple Music have cmpletely changed hw peple listen t music nwadays. By paying very affrdable prices, peple can access music very easily. Hwever, while these platfrms may prvide benefits fr sme artists, up-and-cming artists are being left behind because they nly fcus n big names and creating prfits.
Because f COVID-19, musicians have nt been able t tur r perfrm live in many cuntries, which cntributes t a large part f their incme. In a YuTube interview, up-and-cming Texas artist Mbey mentined that "The majrity f my incme cmes frm playing live shws. Usually that means arund 50% - 70% f what we expect t make in a year". With these factrs, small artists are finding it increasingly difficult t make it in the industry due t the lack f investment （投资）int new talent.
Small artists n Sptify and Apple Music can expect t make little t nthing. An artist n Sptify can expect t earn an average f $0.003 per stream r arund $3 per 1,000 streams fr ne f their sngs. On Apple Music, artists can expect t make a little mre with an average f $0.01 per stream, r arund $10 with 1,000 streams. Even if they culd hit arund 1,000 streams, they have t pay music distributin (分发) platfrms needed fr their music t be shwn n the streaming platfrms such as DistrKid, whse cheapest plan is $20.
A new artist wuld find it very difficult t prmte their music utside f their scial media accunts which may nt even have a large amunt f fllwers. They prbably cannt get large amunts f streams n their music since it is nt being prmted due t the lack f expsure (宣传）they have n scial media.
With the takever f music streaming platfrms, many artists are finding it increasingly difficult t make a sustainable (可持续的) living frm their lve fr music. A simple way these platfrms can enable new artists t keep making music is t increase their payuts per stream fr their music. Hpefully the music streaming industry will make similar changes t imprve the situatin f their artists.
32. What is the prblem with music streaming platfrms?
A. They ignre small artists.B. They are nt user-friendly.
C. They are very difficult t manage.D. They limit the number f small artists' sngs.
33. What d artist Mbey's wrds center n?
A. His lack f investment.B. His ttal incme in a year.
C. The main surce f his incme.D. The reasn fr his fewer live shws.
34. What d the figures in paragraph 3 shw?
A. Hw a music streaming platfrm wrks.B. Small artists' hpe fr music streaming platfrms.
C. Small artists' dislike fr music streaming platfrms.D. Why small artists earn little n music streaming platfrms.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Music streaming platfrms: D they really put prfits first?
B. Music streaming platfrms: Are they a chance r challenge t artists?
C. Music streaming platfrms: Have they harmed the industry fr artists?
D Music streaming platfrms: Culd they ffer music lvers better services?
