As children, ur mther always taught my brther and me the value f acquiring life skills. "It sets yu apart," she wuld say. While my brther chse the path f mastering musical instruments,
I gravitated twards the field f languages. Grwing up in a multilingual husehld where Mandarin, Cantnese, and English mixed, I felt it natural t cntinue explring new linguistic pssibilities.
Languages fascinated me. I was attracted by the way wrds gracefully rlled ff tngues and hw each language seemed t unlck a dr t an entirely new wrld, n matter hw challenging they were t learn.
Eager t try beynd Asian languages, it was my mther wh suggested French as a suitable starting pint. The elegance and petic charm f the language quickly attracted me. The meldic flw and the way the wrds effrtlessly danced ff my tngue caused a thrilling feeling, fuelling my desire t explre deeper int its cmplexity. Interestingly, despite my passin and talent fr it, French prved t be the language that tk the lngest t fully grasp. Nevertheless, I insisted and never save up expanding my linguistic arsenal（宝库）.
After realizing that Spanish wasn't the right fit fr me, I fund myself addicted t the fascinating wrld f German. Being enrlled in a German-speaking schl speeded my prgress, and when tw years, my cmmand f German surpassed（超过）my years f studying French. As time passed, I added Latin, Ancient Greek, and Japanese t my linguistic arsenal.
It fact, speaking multiple languages is nt a mere accmplishment; it is a jyus celebratin f the richness f human expressin. Fr me, it serves as a pwerful tl t develp cnnectins with thers n a great level, where humanity unites in a shared pursuit f cmpassin, harmny and mutual respect.

What is the happiest age? An evaluatin f ver 400 samples shws hw subjective well-being develps ver the curse f a lifespan.
In their study, the researchers examined trends in subjective well-being ver the lifespan based n 443 samples frm lngitudinal（纵向的）studies with a ttal f 460, 902 participants. "We fcused n changes in three central cmpnents f subjective well-being: life satisfactin, psitive emtinal states and negative emtinal states, " explains Prfessr Susanne Büeker, wh initially wrked n the study in Bchum.
The findings shw that life satisfactin decreased between the ages f 9 and 16, then increased slightly until the age f 70, and then decreased nce again until the age f 96. Psitive emtinal states shwed a general decline frm age 9 t age 94, while negative emtinal states waved slightly between ages 9 and 22, then declined until age 60 and then increased nce again.
The researchers we the slight decline in life satisfactin between the ages f 9 and 16 t, fr example, changes in the bdy and in the scial life that take place during puberty（青春期）. Satisfactin rises again frm yung adulthd nwards. Psitive feelings tend t decrease frm childhd t late adulthd.
Is very late adulthd, all cmpnents f subjective well-being tended t wrsen rather than imprve. "This culd be related t the fact that in very ld peple, physical perfrmance and scial cntacts decrease, and health ften deterirates, nt least because their peers pass away, "guess the researchers.
The study highlights the need t cnsider and prmte subjective well-being with its varius cmpnents acrss the lifespan, as the authrs f the study cnclude.

As the planet gets htter, the need fr cl living envirnments is becming mre urgent. But air cnditining is a majr cntributr t glbal warming since units release pwerful greenhuse gases and use lts f energy.
Nw, researchers frm McGill University, UCLA and Princetn have fund in a new study an inexpensive, sustainable alternative t mechanical cling with refrigerants（制冷剂）in ht and dry climates, and a way t relieve dangerus heat waves during electricity blackuts.
The researchers set ut t answer hw t achieve a new benchmark（基准）in passive cling inside naturally cnditined buildings in ht climates such as Suthern Califrnia. As an attempt, they examined the use f rf materials that radiate（辐射）heat int the cld universe, even under direct sunlight, and hw t cmbine them with temperature-driven ventilatin（通风）. These cl radiatr materials and catings are ften used t stp rfs verheating. Researchers have als used them t imprve heat rejectin frm chillers. But there is untapped ptential fr integrating them int architectural design mre fully, s they can nt nly reject indr heat t uter space in a passive way, but als drive regular and healthy air changes.
"We fund we culd maintain air temperatures several degrees belw the current surrunding temperature, and several degrees mre belw a reference 'gld standard' fr passive cling," said Remy Frtin, lead authr and PhD candidate at the Peter Gu-hua Fu Schl f Architecture. "We did this withut sacrificing healthy ventilatin air changes." This was a cnsiderable challenge, cnsidering air exchanges are a surce f heating when the aim is t keep a rm cler than the utside.
The researchers hpe the findings will be used t psitively impact cmmunities suffering frm dangerus climate heating and heatwaves. "We hpe that materials scientists, architects, and engineers will be interested in these results, and that ur wrk will inspire mre cmplete thinking fr hw t integrate breakthrughs in radiative cling materials with simple but effective architectural slutins," said Remy Frtin.
32. What might cause researchers t lk fr an alternative t air cnditining?
A. The severe shrtage f energy. B. The greenhuse effect f air cnditining.
C. The increasing dangerus heatwaves. D. The need fr cl living envirnments.
33. Why did researchers examine the use f rf materials?
A. T btain ideas fr their research. B. T prevent rfs frm verheating.
C. T find the best material fr rfs. D. T make rfs well ventilated.
34. What is Remy's attitude twards the new findings?
A. Uncaring. B. Disapprving. C. Psitive. D. Wrried.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. An effective architectural slutin
B. A majr cntributr t glbal warming
