A few weeks ago, I was invited for the interview at Cambridge University in person. I have always hoped for it ever since I was twelve years old. I know if I want to get into my dream university,I have to improve myself. So I kept reading and caught every chance to share my ideas bravely by speaking in public.
I felt very excited that I could meet and speak to some of the leading teachers in the field, but as the interview drew closer, I was unsurprisingly getting more and more nervous. The day before my interview, I stayed in Cambridge for a night as it was an early morning interview. It was a relaxing experience to live and study at the university. I really calmed down a little just by enjoying the learning environment there.
▲ It felt more like a discussion about some questions. These interviewers want to see how you think instead of looking for correct answers. Walking out of the interview, although I was not completely relaxed, I told myself,“ Whatever the result may be, you should be proud of what you have achieved so far.”

Many people believe sex(性别) influences interests and jobs. For example, boys do math better than girls, while girls are better at learning languages. We usually think this is because of the difference in how boys'and girls' brains work. But is it really true
According to past studies, some parts of our brains can be different in size. Scientists used to think these differences might influence how well men and women think and do things. They found this by scanning(扫描) people's brains. However, in most of the studies, researchers only scanned a few people. In fact, to make such research believable, you would have to scan the brains of 1,000people at least.
In 2021, the UK Biobank scanned the brains of 40,000 people in the UK, providing new ideas.“It showed differences between men and women in the size of certain brain parts. However, these differences were very small. We could not get a real result from them.”Camillie Williams from the University of Texas, told New Scientist.
Also, our brains might change in size according to our life experiences. For example, if part of a man's brain which is for doing math, is larger than that of a woman. It is possibly because he takes jobs that often use math skills. So brain differences between men and women could be a result of different roles in life and society. So, what can we do to make our brains work better
66. In many people's opinion, what influences interests and jobs
A. Sex. B. Education. C. Health. D. Language.
67. What does the writer think of the past studies
A. The methods in the studies were wrong.
B. The number of scanned brains is not enough.
C. They help men and women know themselves better.
D. The results from the past studies were very believable.
68. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. Differences in the brain greatly. influence people's lives:八
B. Some parts of our brains ean be totally different in their sizes.
C. The UK Biobank has done the best study and provided new ideas.
D. Different brain sizes of people aren't big enough to make a difference.
69. What will the writer talk about next
A. Advice of making brains work better.
B. Different opinions about the study result.
C. Influences of the different life experiences.
D. Future development of the UK Biobank research.

Do you see there are many electric cars running on the road There might be more in the future.Because it is a way to help slow the climate change. In the United States, it is said that by 2030, half of all new cars sold should be electric ones. Now this country is one of the biggest makers of greenhouse gases. More than a quarter of those in the country come from cars.
But over half of Americans don't want that. They say the electric cars are expensive and it's not easy to charge them when the cars run out of power as charging stations are not enough.
So should all cars be electric Our newspaper held a discussion too.55% readers choose electric cars as the oil is not reusable. Electric cars can use renewable energy including solar and wind power which can help reduce the air pollution. But 45% readers don't like electric cars. It's hard to control the car when the weather is poor. The batteries(电池) are made of things found at the bottom of the sea. That's harmful to sea animals and the environment too.
Environment problems are becoming more and more serious. Maybe they won't be solved simply by producing more electric cars. Every one of us has to do more to make our home better.
70. According to the first paragraph, why might be more electric cars in the future
A. Because they can make greenhouse gases.
