The fcus is n teaching students hw t play an instrument, thrugh ne-n-ne instructin tailred t their needs.
The rchestra is abut much mre than just making music, hwever. The prgram gives students a chance t develp their cperatin skills, make mistakes and learn the art f imprving smething. “They cmpletely changed my educatinal philsphy and apprach f what it truly means t meet a student where they’re at and apply that elsewhere,” Ray added. “I believe they have a truly pwerful message t share with everyne.”
As fr the Grammy Award, Ray said that it belngs t her students. She als plans t put sme f the mney twards an nging schlarship fr students wh want t pursue music when they graduate, in any pssible way. “It is a hard prfessin, but that was really tuching,” Ray said. “And there’s nthing else like it.”

Situated alng a river that winds thrugh the muntains, surrunded by cedar（雪松）and bamb frests, Nanmku is abut 70 miles nrthwest f the capital city. Once knwn fr its silk, wd, and knjac rt（魔芋根）, Nanmku is nw Japan’s mst aged village, with tw-thirds f its residents ver 65．Many buildings are abandned and the ppulatin has drpped frm 11,000 in 1955t abut 1,500 tday, accrding t twn hall figures. At that rate, the village culd be empty just ver a decade.
Nanmku is n the frnt lines f Japan’s rural deppulatin, a trend seen in ther Asian and Eurpean cuntries. Hwever, sme residents are wrking t change the trend by attracting yung peple. One such persn is 24-year-ld Satmi Oigawa, wh mved t Nanmku after graduating frm cllege in Tky. She wrks fr the village gvernment, matching abandned hmes with ptential new residents. Oigawa is learning abut the village’s histry as she integrates int the cmmunity. “Everything abut this huse is part f the village’s histry,” she says.
Despite effrts t attract new residents, the village faces challenges. There are few jbs fr yung peple, and the nearest hspital is an hur’s drive away. Sme residents argue that instead f spending mney t attract newcmers, the mney shuld be spent n thse already living in the village.
Mayr Saij Hasegawa aims t keep the village’s ppulatin level in 15t 20 years’ time, hping t maintain it at arund 800 peple. Hwever, experts like Peter Matan le f the University f Sheffield say that while sme villages may bm, they will still experience pushback against the verpwering trend. “Japan is currently lsing 600,000 t 700,000 peple annually, and that’s ging t increase t mre than a millin by the 2030s,” Matan le says. “Under that situatin, hw d settlements maintain their ppulatins, let alne increase them?”

C．Remte and develping.D．Histric and declining.
25．Why did Satmi Oigawa mve t Nanmku after cllege?

C．T refresh the village.D．T experience the rural life.
26．What can be inferred abut the effrts t beat Nanmku’s deppulatin?
A．They are facing significant challenges.
B．They are likely t succeed at the mment.
C．They are widely supprted by all residents.
D．They need mre supprt frm the gvernment.

Ecnmic grwth is ften cnsidered as a sure way f increasing the well-being f peple in lw-incme cuntries, and glbal surveys in recent decades have supprted this strategy by shwing peple in high-incme cuntries tend t reprt higher levels f life satisfactin than thse in lw-incme cuntries. This strng cnnectin might suggest that nly in rich scieties can peple be happy. Hwever, a recent study cnducted by ICTA-UAB and McGill University in Canada suggests that there may be gd reasns t questin whether this link is universal.
While mst glbal surveys gather thusands f respnses frm the citizens f industrial and urban scieties, they tend t ignre peple in simple-and-tiny scieties n the fringe, where scial grup has a limited number f members and where the exchange f mney plays a minimal rle in everyday life with natives and lcal cmmunities depending directly n nature.
The research, published in the scientific jurnal Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences（PNAS）, cnsisted f a survey f 2,966 peple frm lcal cmmunities in 19 glbally distributed sites. Only 64% f surveyed husehlds had any cash incme. The results shw that “surprisingly, many ppulatins with very lw incmes reprt very high average levels f life satisfactin, with scres similar t thse in wealthy cuntries,” says Eric Galbraith, researcher at ICTA-UAB and McGill University and lead authr f the study.
The average life satisfactin scre acrss the studied simple-and-tiny scieties was 6.8 n a range f 0-10．Althugh nt all scieties reprted high satisfactin levels, fur f the sites reprted average scres higher than 8, despite many f these scieties having suffered histries f neglect and cntrl. The results are cnsistent with the pinin that human scieties can supprt very satisfactry lives fr their members withut necessarily requiring high degrees f material wealth.
“While the reasns behind these findings remain unclear, the study prvides valuable insights int hw diverse cmmunities achieve satisfying lives. It ffers hpe that understanding these factrs can help thers imprve their well-being while addressing sustainability cncerns.” Galbraith cncludes.
27．What des the research fcus n accrding t the passage?
A．The impact f cash incme n lcals’ well-being.
B．Incme-satisfactin cnnectin in industrial scieties.
C．Ecnmic grwth’s cncerns in lw-incme cuntries.
D．Relatin between wealth and happiness acrss scieties.
28．What des the underlined wrd “fringe” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Edge.B．Surface.C．Hrizn.D．Scene.
29．What’s the purpse f the numbers listed in paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?
A．T indicate the research’s limitatins.
B．T prve the reliability f the findings.
C．T emphasize high satisfactin scres.
D．T shw the number f peple surveyed.
30．What is Galbraith’s attitude tward the research?

As I pened the dr, my tw little girls squeezed past me, and hit the fridge fr their after-schl snack. A bag full f research papers begging t be graded fell dwn heavily frm my shulder nt the table. After a tiring day’s wrk, I still had t face the mess that was bthering me, including my husband’s ding-nthing and my daughters’ cnstant talking nisily. While sclding them, I reached fr a cup f leftver mrning cffee. As I turned twards the cffeept, I nticed that the mrning dishes weren’t in the sink and the cunter was clear except fr an envelpe with my name n it. My heart punded, as my husband hadn’t written me a lve letter since we were engaged. Then I replayed the casual cmment I had made that mrning “Since yu’re wrking evenings this week, it wuld be nice if yu’d d smething t help ut arund the huse while yu’re hme.”
I picked up the letter, expecting an aplgy. But when I read the first line, my heart sank. “I’m tired f being accused f nt helping arund the huse. I am tired f yu sclding children every day. Yesterday, I washed the windws. Did yu ntice? I als picked up yur car frm schl and tk it fr an il change. I bet yu didn’t ntice that either, did yu? Of curse nr did yu ntice ur daughters prepared cffees well every mrning.”
The letter cntinued in the same tne—a little anger, a lt f hurt—and I deserved every wrd. The truth was when he wrked evening shift, I envied the slitude（独处）he enjyed by day. He spent hurs alne in a quiet huse while I tk n the parenting rle fr bth f us at night—dinner, hmewrk, baths, bedtime. Then I graded papers r made lessn plans while lsing my temper ccasinally befre I cllapsed int bed. But wh had time fr clthes washing? Fr dirty flrs? Nt me, because my husband did.
