I always pictured myself graduating frm cllege, getting a cl jb and even having a cute little place f my wn. S far, I have a master’s degree and the clest jb ever as a physician assistant. But instead f waking up in a pretty apartment, I hear the early mrning sund f my parents making cffee dwnstairs. At 27, I still live with my parents, and I lve it.

Several f my physician assistant friends are in the same bat as I am—we are all highly educated, white cllar emplyees wh live at hme. Our clleagues in the medical field think it is a great idea because many f them are facing the same difficulty. They ften say if they culd d it all again, they wuld d the same thing.
There’s a stigma (耻辱) that cmes alng with this arrangement. Sme peple might think that we are t lazy t find a jb.

Many dishes make up the wrld f Garifuna fd, but hudutu is prbably its signature (明显的特色). The dish is clsest t Ylanda Castill’s heart.
The head chef f Chicag’s Garifuna Flava, Castill develped a lve fr fd earlier. It was in her native cuntry f Belize that she learned the secrets f making hudutu. “My mm shwed me the traditinal way f cking ur Garifuna fd.” she says.
After mving t Chicag with her husband, Castill stayed true t her rts, gathering family members fr grand meals. Nt a single visit happened withut smene praising Castill’s ability t cpy her mther’s traditinal Garifuna recipes.
“My husband wuld always say, ‘One day, I’m ging t pen a restaurant fr her.’” Castill says. In 2008, the cuple’s restaurant, Garifuna Flava, pened its drs in Chicag. In additin t Garifuna fd, Garifuna Flava serves up Belizean fd like rice and beans. “It’s amazing t see hw many peple frm arund the wrld have been here t taste ur Garifuna fd.” she says.
“Garifuna fd, in particular, tells us a Caribbean stry and a Central American stry,” says López Or, whse wrk fcuses n later generatins f Garifuna immigrants. “It gives us an pprtunity t really think abut the generatinal histry f Garifuna migratin.”
Thugh hudutu requires much wrk, Castill uses a fd prcessr t speed things up. The mre hudutu she’s able t make, the mre she’s able t sell—increasing the pssibility f intrducing the fd t a wider, ever-hungry audience.
“I think peple are really devted t making hudutu a husehld name,” says López Or, referring t the dish and the urgency many Garinagu feel abut prtecting their histry, in part, thrugh their fd’s mst famus dish.
28．What did Ylanda Castill d after settling in Chicag?

Recently, I accidentally fund a set f Hanfu 1 nly wre nce frm the bttm f the cupbard. I remember buying them simply t match the ancient-style hair accessries (配饰) a friend gave me. It ccurred t me that I had been trapped in the “birdcage effect”.
“Birdcage effect” means that when yu get an item ne day, yu will prepare mre things t match it. Weeks ag, I was shpping in the cmpany f my friends. One said that she wanted t buy a gd writing pen t match the delicate ntebk that her sister gave her, s that she wuld fall in lve with taking ntes n reading, and thus lve reading, nt just reading. I jked that she must have fallen fr the “birdcage effect”. But the friend said with a smile: “Why nt use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead?”
Fr the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). Hwever, this can’t help but remind me f middle schl, and I seem t have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bkstre ne day, I purchased a magazine and saw the call fr cntributins published in the magazine, s I started writing with eager hands, and then I fell in lve with writing.
After shpping with my friends that time, I began t carry n using the “birdcage effect”. I bught a small fresh tableclth t decrate my desk, and a beautiful ntebk t recrd my inspiratin. When everything was ready, I started writing again.
But hw can we get rid f the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the ppsite way? Varius “birdcages” unavidably appear in life, but we can set them apart. If it is nt in line with the actual situatin, it is a “negative birdcage”, then we must learn t stp lsses in time and maintain a heart f thrwing away and separatin. If it is a “psitive birdcage” that mtivates us t develp upward, we can clarify ur gals, shp r decrate prperly, and encurages urselves t mve twards ur gals. At this time, yu will find that the “birdcage effect” is actually nt s terrible!
32．What is paragraph 2 mainly abuț?
A．The applicatin f the “birdcage effect” in life.
B．The necessity f using the “birdcage effect” in life.
C．The turning pint f the authr’s idea n the “birdcage effect”.
D．The authr’s cnflict with her friend ver the “birdcage effect”.
33．What is the authr’s purpse in mentining her middle schl experience?
A．T recall her delightful days at schl.B．T explain the reasn fr her lve with writing.
C．T cnfirm the psitive f the “birdcage effect”.D．T prve her knwledge f the “birdcage effect”.
34．Hw can we make use f the “birdcage effect” psitively?
A．By realizing this effect has tw sides.B．By prmting ur persnal cnsumptin.
C．By recgnizing this effect is nt s terrible.D．By guiding ur acts t g with ur gals.
35．What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A．Getting Rid f the Birdcage Effect Cnfidently
B．Mtivating Ourselves t Mve Twards Our Gals
C．The Birdcage Effect: Influence n Cnsumer Behavir
D．The Birdcage Effect: Hw t Use It t Yur Advantage

Mai Lin wasn’t ding well enugh at schl, r at least she wasn’t satisfied with herself. She wished she culd d better.
“Let’s review the material we learned in the last unit,” the histry teacher said. “Wh can tell us what caused the War f 1812?” Mai Lin sat at her desk, staring ahead. She hped the teacher wuldn’t call her name. They hadn’t studied the War f 1812 at her ld schl and she didn’t knw the answer.
“Alisn?” the teacher asked instead. Oh, perfect, Mai Lin thught. Of curse, Alisn wuld have the answer. She seemed t have all the answers. Alisn was the mst ppular girl in schl—always surrunded by millins f friends. She was like a brilliant sun.
Mai Lin hadn’t made ne r tw friends f her wn s far. Her ld schl was small and lw-key, but a shy persn like Mai Lin had a chance there. This new schl, hwever, seemed as big as an airprt t Mai Lin, and it seemed very hard t get arund in it. She still gt lst smetimes in the schl.
Mai Lin frwned (皱眉) as Alisn answered the teacher’s questin. Alisn prbably never gt lst, Mai Lin thught t herself. Yu culd prbably put Alisn dwn in the middle f a desert, and within five minutes she’d be able t tell yu the best way t get hme.
Histry class finally ended, and Mai Lin headed fr the gym. The class had been playing basketball. Alisn, wh was as tall and thin and attractive as a tree, was very gd at it. Beside her, Mai Lin felt like a very small and flish ant. That day, hwever, the gym teacher pinted t a thick rpe hanging frm the ceiling (天花板) and said, “Everybdy!
