Mre than 20 years ag, Yung-Chi Cheng, a Yale prfessr in drug develpment fr cancer, had a pineering idea: what if he culd unlck the ptential f ancient Chinese medicines fr treating cancer? What if he culd design btanical drugs that wuld make traditinal cancer treatments wrk better? N ne had dne it befre. Fellw researchers and experts advised him t change curse, because develping btanical drugs was t cmplicated and t risky. But Cheng didn’t let the idea g.
Nw, in a landmark mment in cancer research, Cheng and research partners are launching the first internatinal clinical trial fr a btanical drug, YIV-906. Shwu-Hucy Liu, a pstdctral researcher in Cheng’s Yale lab, spent hurs leafing thrugh ancient Chinese texts at Yale’s library seeking the prperties f Chinese herbs. She returned with Huang Qin Tang, a 1,800-ycar-ld treatment fr stmach illnesses, based n which the team develped a drug and tested it n ne thusand mice.
What fllwed were years f additinal testing f the drug's effectiveness fr a range f cancers in multiple human studies invlving ver 200 patients. The psitive effects displayed again and again, YlV-906 nt nly reduced the side effects f radiatin treatment, but als led t faster recvery and lnger survival rates.
All they need nw are larger data sets. When the results f the internatinal trial are available abut three years frm nw, YIV-906 may find itself next in a lng line f breakthrugh drugs develped frm natural prducts, which includes a malaria (疟疾) treatment develped frm the Chinese herb gingha, the discvery f which led t a Nbel Prize fr chemist Tu Yuyu.
It has been a lng jurney, but if Cheng and his team are successful, it culd create a new apprach fr treating cancer. They called the new apprach “WE” medicine, a cmbinatin f Western medicine and Eastern medicine. “It’s a ttally new mdel. I’ve met with a lt f dubt, but think the results will speak fr themselves,” Cheng said.
24. What did fellw researchers initially think f Cheng’s research?

C. She tried t dcument the histry f Chinese herbs
D. She determined t find a cure fr stmach illnesses
26. What des paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A. Steps f the drug testing.B. The applicatin f YIV-906.
C. Effects f the clinical trial.D. The effectiveness f YlY-906
27, Why des the authr mentin Chinese herb gingha?

Media literacy (素养) is finally getting sme late-arriving attentin. Whether it’s the increasing awareness f plitical disinfrmatin r the threat f Al, discussins abut media literacy are n the rise. The adptin f media literacy in the classrm, hwever, stagnates.
The driving frce fr prviding kids with media literacy skills ften gets lst in the mral panic ver technlgy and kids. Fear has verrun reasn, and peple can’t decide whether t blame scial media, mbile devices, tech cmpanies, r the Internet. They are cncerned with claims that technlgy and scial media are the causes f teenage mental health issues despite the weak assciatins. In respnse, t many slutins are “strich plicies (鸵鸟政策)” that want t ban devices and shut dwn scial media but dn’t address mre fundamental issues
Plicies that set age limits n scial media access and restrict devices during schl t minimize disturbance can be helpful but are incmplete slutins. Scial media didn’t invent bullies (霸凌) r the enrmus effect f peer pressure. Scial media platfrms may be a new battlegrund, but they are nt the surce. Unfrtunately, many current plicies ignre the need t teach kids hw t manage these challenges. There is frighteningly little attentin paid t preparing kids t make gd decisins when they will, unavidably, get nline. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
On the bright side, the rapid develpment f Al and increasing attentin t the amunt f misinfrmatin nline have helped nrmalize the acceptance f media literacy as a cre skill. While suggestins t limit inapprpriate device use, increase face-t-face scializatin, and engage in utdr play arc beneficial, they d nt build the cre skills that will keep kids safe ffline and are fundamental t well-being and life success: gd citizenship, self-awareness and self-cntrl. Thse things take teaching, whether yu are nline r utside.
Media literacy is an essential life skill that, nce learned, can be applied t any cntent. While waiting fr public educatin t catch up, parents and educatrs can build media literacy skills at hme with numerus resurces, ranging frm family technlgy cntracts and discussin guides t easy activities that can be dne at hme with kids.
28. What des the underlined wrd “stagnates” in the first paragraph prbably mean?
A. Gets far ahead.B. Falls apart suddenly.
C. Falls well shrt.D. Gets started fficially.
29.What causes peple’s mral panic ver technlgy and kids?
A. Belief in the rapid grwth f new technlgies
B. Cncern ver cutting kids ff frm the Internet
C. Inability t balance the use f scial media and health.
D. Fear f technlgy causing mental health issues in teenagers.

Decisin fatigue (决策疲劳)is a psychlgical phenmenn where the quality f decisins declines after a lng sessin f decisin-making. It is caused by the limited mental energy we have fr making chices each day. While many f us believe we are lgical beings capable f weighing every ptin carefully, decisin fatigue shws hw ur mental resurces can be used up ver time.
One f the key studies n this phenmenn was cnducted in the cntext f parle hearings (假释听证会). Researchers fund that judges were mre likely t apprve f parle early in the day r after a meal break, As the day prgressed and the judges made mre decisins, they were increasingly likely t maintain their previus decisins, denying parle simply because it required ess mental effrt.
Decisin fatigue nt nly affects majr life chices but als everyday decisins. Fr instance, peple ften reprt struggling t decide what t eat fr dinner after a lng day. Similarly, t many chices, such as when lking thrugh streaming platfrms r nline stres, can leave individuals feeling cnfused, leading them t abandn the prcess entirely r settle fr a less satisfying ptin.
T vercme decisin fatigue, sme well-knwn figures have adpted strategies t simplify their daily rutines. Fr example, Facebk funder Mark Zuckerberg is famus fr wearing the same style f gray T-shirts t minimize unnecessary chices. Similarly, Nbel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein was knwn fr wing multiple identical suits t avid wasting energy n deciding what t wear each day. In a different cntext, authr Haruki Murakami has shared that he maintains a strict daily rutine, including specific writing hurs and exercise, t free up mental capacity fr his creative wrk.
Understanding decisin fatigue can help us structure ur lives mre effectively. Priritizing imprtant decisins earlier in the day r setting up rutines t minimize unnecessary chices are strategies t preserve mental energy. By managing ur mental resurces wisely, we can make sund decisins and reduce the stress assciated with verwhelming chices江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126

A. The lack f time t make decisins.
B. The difficulty f making lgical chices.
C. The stress frm making imprtant decisins.
D. The limited mental energy fr decisin-making.
33. What des the study n parle hearings reveal?
A. Judges are much stricter after lng breaks.
B. Decisin fatigue can lead t unfair utcmes.
C. Fatigue causes judges t avid cmplicated cases.
D. External factrs have n impact n decisin-making.

Then ne Friday mrning, Max didn’t shw up t class. A lw vice f curisity spread thrugh the rm, and sn enugh, theries abut his absence started flying. “He gt suspended,” whispered a girl next t me. “I heard he struck a guy utside the library.” I wasn’t surprised, and ndded in agreement.
Later that day, I fund myself at the park, enjying the first warm day f spring. That’s when I saw him―Max―sitting alne n the swings. His usual guarded expressin was gne, and replaced by smething I hadn’t expected: sadness. Against my better judgment, I walked ver.
“Hey,” I said awkwardly.
Max lked up, surprised. “What d yu want?”
“I... just saw yu here and thught I’d say hi.”
He gave me a strange lk but said nthing. I was abut t walk away when I nticed a wrinkled piece f paper in his hand, “What’s that?” I asked.
