My mm spent years as a stay-at-hme mm s that my brthers and I culd fcus n ur educatin. Hwever, I culd tell frm her curisity f and attitudes tward wrking wmen that she envied their financial freedm and the self-esteem that must cme with it. When I asked her abut wrking again, she wuld tell me t fcus n achieving my dream. I knew she had nce dreamed fr herself.
Fr years, I watched het effrtlessly light up cnversatins with bth strangers and family. Her empathy and ability t reach the heart culd make anyne laugh, even when the stry itself did nt apply t them at all. "Mm, have yu ever thught abut being a stand-up cmedian?" "It is t late fr me, sn, " she respnded, laughing at the idea. I culd nt bear t watch her struggle between ambitin and dubt.
Her birthday was cming up. Althugh I had already bught her a present, I knew what I actually wanted t give her. I placed little ntes f encuragement inside the present. I asked my family and her friends t d the same. Eventually I had cllected 146 ntes, and each with the same sentiment: "Yu are humrus, full f life, and ready t take n the stage. "
On the day f her birthday, my mm unwrapped my present. She was nt surprised as she had hinted at it fr lng. But then she saw thse little ntes. She started t weep with her hands full f ntes. She culd nt believe the supprt was real.
Within tw mnths, my mm gave her first perfrmance in a New Yrk cmedy club. I have read the ntes cuntless times with my mm. They are framed and line the walls f her new ffice space that she rented with the prfits she made frm wrking as a prfessinal cmedian. Fr many parents, their children's careers are their greatest accmplishment, but fr me my mm's is mine.

Sme wrds imitate the sunds made by the things they describe, like "buzz" r "hiss", which is called nmatpeia (拟声词). But what if the way a wrd sunds culd aruse sme ther feature f an bject, like its shape?
Marcus Perlman, a lecturer at the University f Birmingham, says that a century ag, linguists(语言学家) insisted that the wrds f bjects dn't necessarily sund like the very things. There's nthing dggy-sunding abut the wrd dg r catlike-sunding abut the wrd cat. But there's plenty f evidence nw prving it false. T further explre this cnnectin, Perlman and his clleagues turned t smething called the buba/kiki effect.
What it is abut is that when yu see tw shapes-ne lks like a clud, kind f rundish, and the ther ne is mre spiky(尖形的), like a star-and when yu're asked t say which ne is buba, yu will be mre likely t pint t a runded ne and, fr kiki, t a spiky ne. One explanatin fr the effect culd be the appearance f the letters. The rund shape f b--u-b-a might aruse the sense f rundness. But what happens when yu dn't see the wrds but hear them?
In a fllwing test, participants were tld t lk at the tw shapes and then listen t the sund: either buba r kiki. Whatever their native language is, mst participants said the runder shape was buba and the spiky ne was kiki. This suggests that the effect seems t be driven by sme crrespndence (对应关系) between the spken wrds and the shapes, which might bring us clser t hw the first wrds came.
28. What may Marcus Parlman believe abut the wrds f bjects?
A. Wrds sunding like bjects dn't exist.
B. Wrds dn't have t sund like bjects.
C. Wrds f bjects are difficult t understand.
D. Wrds prnunciatin is cnnected t bjects.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The distinctin between varius shapes.
B. The explanatin f the buba/kiki effect.
C. The cmparisn between buba and kiki.
D. The intrductin t the buba/kiki effect.
30. Which shape may the participants chse after hearing the "bauba" sund?
A. A star. B. A circle. C. A pyramid. D. A diamnd.
31. What is suggested in the text?
A. Different languages may have the same rigins.
B. The wrd buba r kiki can be fund in languages.
C. The effect may help understand the rigin f language.
D. The secret f language frmatin has been discvered.

We all smetimes behave in ways that seem t cnflict with ur gals and intentins. One persn might wish t spend mre time with family but instead find themselves mindlessly brwsing scial media. Anther may repeatedly ignre their alarm and miss their mrning wrkut. If we nly had mre willpwer, the cnventinal wisdm ges, we culd eat healthier, exercise regularly, and spend mre time with lved nes. Hwever, in Determined: A Science f Life withut Free Will, scientist Rbert Saplsky argues that such chices are actually determined by factrs beynd ur cntrl.
Saplsky demnstrates in his bk hw varius factrs influence ur intentins and actins. He describes scientific evidence that thse influences may ccur minutes, hurs, r days befre ur actins; sme may even begin years earlier. Fr example, peple raised in a cllectivist culture tend t avid bstacles(障碍) when walking whereas thse raised in independent cultures will remve the bstacles.
In particular, Saplsky argues against the claim that "luck" evens(均等) ut ver time, with frtune and misfrtune striking mst peple in equal measure, an idea favred by thers. Instead, he prvides cnvincing examples that many wh are brn "unlucky" have little chance f getting ahead.
Althugh Saplsky is careful nt t cnfuse determinism with the inability t affect change in the wrld, his unclear attitude tward hw determinism might cexist with free will is ne f the bk's weak pints. Nnetheless, this bk is. wrth reading. Better yet, pair it with Kevin Mitchell's bk Free Agents: Hw Evlutin Gave Us Free Will, which makes the ppsite argument, and then, decide fr yurself whether yu had a chice t d s r it was all predetermined.
32. Hw is the tpic intrduced in the first paragraph?
A. By giving examples.
B. By listing statistics.
C. By raising arguments.
D. By drawing cnclusins.
33. Accrding t Saplsky, what determine(s)ur chices and actins?
A. Level f willpwer.
B. Randm luck.
C. Uncntrllable elements.
D. Cnventinal wisdm.
34. What des the underlined wrd "cllectivist" mean?
A. Lw-esteemed.
B. Determined.
C. Self-centered.
D. Cperative.
35. Which f the fllwing can be a suitable title fr the passage?
A. Explratin n Free Will
B. Wisdm in Decisin Making
C. Views n Determinism and Free Will
D. Cnflicts between Gals and Chices
