Remember your first ever day of school: how you straightened out your school clothes, made sure your mom
prepared your favorite lunch and your backpack? Do you remember your first backpack? Mine was red with
Mickey Mouse and it carried all of my primary school books. Years later, I still remember it as a sign of happy
school days and childhood. Unluckily, years fly by and it’s time for exams and preparing for college. But some
seniors find a fun way to hold onto childhood a little longer by wearing childish backpacks to school. This senior
backpack challenge quickly become a hit on TikTok.
Usually, a lot of teenagers cannot wait to grow up; they long for independence and want to appear grown-up.
But things seem to be changing, as a lot of high school seniors are dropping the cool kid look and choosing a
childish style. As a lot of students are heading back to school, most of them are shopping for school supplies and
new backpacks to carry them in. Instead of fashionable ones, they are choosing the ones showing their favorite
childhood characters: Backyardigans, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spider-Man — you name it.
This trend is taking the internet by storm. A quick search of “seniorbackpacks” shows a lot of colorful and fun
small-sized bags. Seniors are showing off their new backpacks on TikTok, making commentators(评论者)think of
their school days and wish they would have kept their SpongeBob or Disney Princess backpack. A few
commentators note that this trend isn’t new, and a lot of seniors have been wearing childish backpacks for years.
Only in recent years has this become a trend.
The senior backpack trend brought back a good feeling of longing for simpler days. Back in kindergarten,
whoever had the same sweater or same shoes would become best friends. Now, years later, seeing someone wearing
a backpack with the same cartoon characters is bringing that feeling back to us.

If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone would you help? How about lending them
five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back?
Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers
may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic - it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as
it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的)
people.
Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests
trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s
ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you
say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had
your missing wallet returned.
This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have
been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33, 882 Danish blood donors, they found a
single gene (基因) - PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPNP4 gene
explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar
education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust
others.
They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-
flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health
benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管
的) disease.
As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may
hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world.
8. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories?
A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities..
C Social experiences. D. Communication skills.
9. What does the recent study focus on?
A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability.
C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene.
10. What does the passage say about trusting others?
A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work.
C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response.
11. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. A Gene Influences How Trusting You Are B. Experiences Make You Grow Dependable
C. A Link Between Biology and Social Science D. Theories That Explain Why You Are Trusted

There are over 6, 000 languages spoken in the world. But did you know that some of them are in danger of
dying out? From Dusner (three speakers) to Kelabit (five thousand), these languages are spread all over the world,
but they all have one thing in common: unless we act soon, they could become extinct (灭绝的).
Researchers at Oxford University are studying these languages. And Dr. Johanneke Sytsema, who has
organized a popular seminar (研讨会) on endangered languages, thinks there could be a magic bullet for keeping
minority (少数的) languages alive: social media. “Social media could help save language,” Dr. Sytsema says.
“Because young people text each other in the same way they speak, even if they don’t know how to spell it.”
Minority languages are often at risk of being drowned out (压过) by the louder voices of the bigger languages,
which are spoken at school and in the media. But, with social media giving control to the users, the popularity of
social media like TikTok might just have the opposite effect.
Dr. Sytsem a has first-hand experience: she speaks Frisian. Frisian, spoken in a province in the Netherlands
called Friesland, has 350, 000 speakers. Using her own language has given Dr. Sytsema food for thought about how
languages could be saved in the future. “In Friesland, young people who don’t learn much Frisian writing at school
send each other messages on social media in Frisian,” she says. In this way, a new generation of Frisian speakers
keeps the language alive.
According to Dr. Sytsema, our languages, like our wildlife, are natural creations. “Natural beauty needs to be
protected. Once languages die, you don’t get them back, because they’ve grown over thousands and thousands of
years,” Dr. Sytsem a explains. “Every language has its own beauty. And that’s why it’s so important.”
12. Why does the author mention Dusner and Kelabit?
A. To describe the richness of human language.B. To discuss the influence of language on culture.
C. To explain the importance of cultural exchange.
D. To show the serious situation of endangered languages.
13. What do the underlined words “a magic bullet” mean in paragraph 2?
A. A challenging task. B. An effective solution.
C. An open standard. D. A common goal.
14. What gave Dr. Sytsema the idea of language protection?
A. Teaching at a language school. B. The popularity of Frisian on TikTok.
C. Her personal experience with Frisian. D. Working with young people in Friesland.
15. What message does Dr. Sytsema want to give us in the last paragraph?
A. A language is well worth saving.
B. Society is shaping human language.
C. The extinction of languages can be avoided.
D. The young hold the key to language protection.
