With her first sng n scial media in 2019 and her first Grammy win in the best African Music Perfrmance categry fur years later, Tyla has becme the new face f African pp.
Fr many listeners, Tyla’s 2023 hit sng “Water” was their first taste f the sund f amapian, which is a new musical mvement that started in the twns f Suth Africa in the 2010s. Rughly translated frm Zulu t mean “the pians” r “pian peple,” amapian is a mix-up f a few different types f music: jazz, deep huse, kwait and lg drum percussives. “Amapian is the mainstream music f Suth Africa’s party scene,” says Mma, a Sudanese-American DJ. “And it has becme a lifestyle there.”
Mma first heard amapian in 2016 when he hpped in a taxi in Suth Africa. He tipped his driver $50 t let him dwnlad the music and tk the sunds back t the US. As the music started t mve arund America, Tyla was perfecting her wn versin f it back hme in Suth Africa.
She started singing n TikTk and drpped her first sng, “Getting Late” in 2019, t shw her parents that she was serius abut pursuing a career in music after high schl. Based n the track, they agreed t give her ne year t make it happen.
It tk a few mnths fr Tyla and her team t sht the vide fr “Getting Late”, with n backing, n budget. But when they finally upladed it t TikTk in early 2021, labels nticed.
In the vide, Tyla’s taken the building blcks f amapian and added elements f pp made by stars like Rihanna (t whm critics and fans are nw cmparing her) and Justin Bieber. Her signature sund has been called “pp-ian”.
After publishing “Water” in July 2023 and nticing it had becme a piece f trending audi n the app, Tyla and her team created a dance challenge in August. Tyla’s perfrmance during the cmpetitin really made a splash. “It intrduced me t a wider audience than I had ever imagined,” Tyla says. “It has psitively changed my life.”
24. What can we say abut Mma?
A. He is a famus music writer.B. He intrduced amapian t the US.
C. He helped Tyla study amapian.D. He created a different type f music.
25. What was Tyla’s parents’ reactin t her career chice?
A. Uncncerned.B. Supprtive.C. Dubtful.D. Unclear.
26. Which element is added t amapian by Tyla?
A. African pp.B. Jazz.C. Deep huse.D. Kwait.
27. Which is clsest in meaning t “made a splash” in the last paragraph?
A. Ended in a disaster.B. Tk plenty f time.

On Mnday, the American Academy f Pediatrics issued a statement calling n schl districts t mve start times t 08:30 r later fr middle and high schls, s that students can get at least 8.5 hurs f sleep a night. It ntes that making middle and high schlers start classes befre 08:30 threatens their health, safety and academic perfrmance.
“It’s a very pwerful statement abut the imprtance f sleep. But it’s hrrifically challenging t mve the start schedules up and back.” Dr. Judith Owens tells NPR. “Letting teenagers sleep later sets ff a series f adjustments. Teachers have t change their schedules, and lder children wh sit yunger nes might n lnger get hme first.”
But this is ne area where the evidence is unequivcal, the statement stresses. As children becme teenagers, their sleep-wake cycle shifts tw hurs later. S it’s difficult, if nt impssible, fr them t g t sleep befre 22:30. As a result, the Academy has fund that 59% f middle schlers and 87% f high schlers are getting less than the recmmended 8.5 t 9.5 hurs f sleep a night.
“There’s a price t pay fr that,” the statement warns. “Studies have fund that lack f sleep in teenagers increases the risk f traffic accidents, and makes them easier t get depressed and verweight. Instead, teens wh get mre sleep d better academically, with better standardized test scres and better quality f life.”
Drinking cffee t get thrugh the day r sleeping mre n weekends desn’t make up fr the sleep shrtage, the statement ntes. “It’s nt simply abut getting teenagers t g t bed early r remving electrnics frm the bedrm. Thse are imprtant things, but the bilgy plays a mre decisive rle.”
As smene wh has t wake up a sleepy-eyed middle schler at 06:20 every mrning, I’m praying that ur schl district will adpt a later start time. I knw that science desn’t necessarily determine plicy. But hw abut a nice increase in standardized test scres?
28. What des Dr. Judith Owens stress?
A. The incnvenience fr sme families.B. The prblems caused by lack f sleep.
C. The difficulties f changing start times.D. The imprtance f getting enugh sleep.
29. What is the mst imprtant factr in determining teenagers’ sleep time?
A. The diet.B. The bilgy.C. The sleep habit.D. The envirnment.
30. What des the authr imply in the last paragraph?
A. Later start times are als gd fr schls.
B. Authrities shuld base their plicy n science.
C. Children are usually tired n Mnday mrnings.
D. Schls shuld put students’ interest in the first place.
31. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Wrries abut Teenagers’ Health
B. Strng Oppsitins t an Old Schl Plicy
C A Review n the Current Schl Start Times
D. A Pwerful Call fr Later Schl Start Times

As hme gardeners in the US page thrugh seed catalgs (目录册) and pick ut their favrite plants this week, there’s a new seed that has never been available t them befre: a purple tmat. It is the first genetically engineered fd crp t be directly marketed t hme gardeners and the seeds went n sale Saturday.
The lending scientist behind the tmat is Cathie Martin. Abut 20 years ag, she set ut t create a transgenic (转基因的) tmat, using DNA frm a purple snapdragn, which is an unrelated eatable flwer. Her gal was t develp a tmat with high levels f anthcyanins, chemicals that give blueberries, blackberries, eggplant and purple cabbage their clr. Research has shwn that anthcyanins als have anti-cancer and anti-aging effects.
“It’s nrmal fr tmates t make these healthy chemicals. But they typically dn’t make them very much in the fruit,” Martin tld reprters in an interview. “They nrmally appear in the leaves and stems.”
S she started with, separating the DNA in the snapdragn flwer that turns n and ff the purple clr. Next, she used a basic technique that was figured ut by scientists in the 1980s t intrduce it int a certain bacteria s that the tmat culd then take in the freign genetic material and express this new gene.
The result? In a paper published in Nature, Martin fund that the purple tmat had, per weight, as much anthcyanin as a blueberry r eggplant, and that the mice wh ate a diet mixed with purple tmates lived 30% lnger than thse wh didn’t.
“Americans eat mre tmates annually, s it makes the nutritinal benefits mre accessible,” Martin said.
Of curse, sme peple have raised health cncerns abut eating genetically engineered fds. But these fds were intrduced three decades ag and studies have nt shwn any harm.
“The purple ptat is anther great example f hw the utcmes and applicatins f such bitechnlgies can imprve ur life,” Martin said.
32. What can be inferred frm the secnd paragraph?
A. Tmates usually d nt prduce anthcyanins.
B. The wild purple snapdragn might be pisnus.
C. Many purple fruits may pstpne the aging prcess.
D. The purple tmat was widely available 20 years ag.
33. What can we knw abut the technique used t prduce the purple tmat?
A. It is a relatively ld methd.
B. It was invented by Cathie Martin.
C. It puts the DNA directly int the ptat.
D. It was used t separate the DNA in the flwer.
34. What des Cathie Martin think f the genetically engineered fds?
A. Unprfitable.B. Safe.C. Expensive.D. Unreliable.
35. Frm which is the text prbably taken?
A. An advertisement.B. A handbk.C. A shrt stry.D. A science reprt.

I used t be very shy and ften felt lnely. Althugh I did well in all academic subjects, I was afraid f physical educatin. Even kids in the neighbrhd wuld laugh at me that my feet culdn’t leave the grund when I ran. Their wrds embarrassed me.

Things wuld g n like that if it was nt fr a sprts meet in my middle schl. By mistake, my name was put n the list f wmen’s 1,500 meters race. By the time I knew it, it was t late t change.
In despair, I asked Mary, my deskmate wh just mved t ur neighbrhd with her parents and was assigned t ur class, whether she culd help me. She declined, “Srry, I culdn’t run that race in yur place. I have already signed up fr the same event.”

I knew this was nt just fr myself, but fr my class. But t me, running 1,500 meters was like climbing Munt Everest fr an inexperienced climber. I even had n idea hw t start my preparatin.
“I have an idea,” she said as if she culd read my mind. “We can d training tgether each afternn after class.”
During the training, whenever I wanted t give up, I wuld see Mary running right beside me r cheering fr me by the tracks. Her kindness never failed t give me the strength t g ahead.

I thught I might fall dwn at any mment.
Just then, I heard Mary calling my name. She even slwed dwn t run beside me and cheered fr me at the same time, just like what she did during the mnth-lng training. Gritting my teeth, I pushed myself n. Unsurprisingly, we were almst the last t crss the finish line. When I was wndering hw t aplgize fr my pr perfrmance, Mary cmfrted me, “Sprts is nt just abut winning r lsing. It’s abut friendship. I’m sure we can d much better tgether next time!”Adult
