Add an additional rebate (from Colorado's largest power provider.A resident
buying a new plug-in car could soon save a head-spinning $26,500.
That's no mistake.
Colorado's current5,000 tax credit(免税额度)is already the most generous state-level
policy available to all residents.With additional programs set to go live in the next few months,
the state is now determined to test the full power of EV (Electric Vehicle)discounts-basis of
the statewide plan to reduce carbon emissions.Gov.Jared Polis is betting the strategy can help
reach a goal of putting nearly a million plug-in vehicles on the road by 2030.

It's one of the most common questions adults ask children:what do you want to be when
you grow up?Although childhood is supposed to be fun,kids also discuss important topics
regarding their futures.Now,a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their
future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age.
The findings,published in the Joumal of Personality and Social Psychology,are the first
to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success.in school or the
workplace.Rodica Damian,an associate professor of psychology at the University of Houston,
and other researchers discovered that as children grow up,their goals naturally begin to change.
However,as some childhood goals fall away,other goals related to a family stay strong.These
include being close to relatives,building more friendships or finding a romantic partner,and
even becoming more involved in the community or helping others..
During the study,researchers compared how their goals evolved as children moved from
adolescence to adulthood and how a person's goals impacted their success in school and as an
employee later on.Overall,a child's goals focusing on their education and future status were
the most consistent predictors of income in adulthood.Simply,when a child dreams big about
doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult,these goals accurately paint a
picture of how successful these children will be.So,the message is simple:dream big and
dream of success,kids!Those goals can drive you to succeed when you grow up!
"Our work proves a strong connection between a child's life goals,educational
achievement,and future work-related outcomes.This information is valuable for parents and
educators who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals.Additionally,it helps
develop strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and reaching their full
potential,"Damian concludes.
28.What does the study mainly focus on?
A.Why children change their dreams over time.
B.Whether childhood goals relate to future success.
C.How childhood education determines future career
D.What impact early experiences have on characters.
29.Which of the following goals remains strong as children grow up?
A.Connecting with others.
B.Achieving academic success.
C.Hunting for a high-salary job.
D.Improving personal social status
30.What message does the author convey in paragraph 3?

Buried in ash after Vesuvius'eruption,hundreds of scrolls (have kept their secrets
hidden for centuries.But archaeologists have now been able to reveal some of the ancient text
with the help of artificial intelligence.
Discovered in the ruins of a villa,the Herculaneum scrolls are a collection of around1,000
scrolls,along with other relics.In earlier times,many people tried to unlock the secrets of
scrolls but in vain,mainly because most of them were fragile and would shatter into pieces if
unrolled.
Until now,the only way to read what's inside the scrolls is to put together the thousands of
pieces,which may take 500 years to reveal their content.Fortunately,a team led by professor
Seales had already pioneered a way to "virtually unwrap"an ancient scroll using X-ray
tomography(断层成像技术).But that was not enoug助to read the barely visible ink on the
ancient documents.The chemistry of the ink from the ancient world is different than the
chemistry from medieval times.It's largely invisible to the naked eye even when caught by the
X-ray.
In 2019,they did come up with a solution based on artificial intelligence to "see"the ink,
but it needed much data.So they launched the Vesuvius Challenge to accelerate the work and
released software and thousands of 3D X-ray images of pieces and two rolled-up scrolls,in the
hope that global research groups would take up the challenge.
In the end,a team of three students shared the grand prize.They could read 2,000 letters
from the scroll after training machine-leamning algorithms()on the scans,After creating a
3D scan of the text using a CT scan,the scroll was then separated into sections.A machine
leaming model-an application of AI-then detected the inked regions,allowing them to
decipher the text.
Mastro,a professor at Naples'University,called the technique "revolutionary.""We
worked literally day and night to study them,but I am more excited that using this method we
can reveal what has been hidden in the scrolls for almost 2,000 years,"said Mastro.
32.What issue was resolved with X--v tomography?
A.The fragile nature of the scrolls.
B.Putting together divided pieces.
C.Showing the scrolls without opening it.
D.The difficulty in understanding ancient languages.

Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety.They feel
their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admission officers.36 It
just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth,drawn from everyday moments.
I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about.Family?Favorite subject?
He kept silent until I suggested,"Hobbies?"He sbyly said,"I like boxing."Then his essay
unfolded,not about boxing itself,but about self-discipline and resilience ()qualities that
any college would admire.So look into the things that shape you.37
Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms,such
as a poem or a play.Most still follow the traditional storytelling model:a hook,a story,and a
lesson leamned.38 For example,the rough edges and the pleasant smell of her father's
handmade fumiture inspired one girl to become an engineer.The magic is in the details and
emotional depth.
As a writing tutor,I was hung up on language rules at first.Should I help my students
stick to "standard English,"or let them write the way they naturally speak-even if that
includes informal expressions?39 It's also about expressing ideas naturally and making
connections with readers.It doesn't hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light,
conversational tone.
40 Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through
rethinking ideas,refining language,and rewriting drafts.With multiple edits,they will uncover
deeper insights and create a story only they can tell.
A.After all,I preferred a formal writing style.
B.A great essay eventually takes form in revision.
C.I soon realized writing isn't just about language.
D.That's why they try to make up appealing stories.
E.Whatever the form,an essay stands out for its story.
F.Once a topic clicks,the essay practically writes itself.

It was a chilly November morning when I stood at the starting line of the New York City
Marathon.My hands 41 around the paper cup of coffee,seeking warmth.Just six months
earlier,I had 42 this race after a decade-long battle with knee injuries.Doctors had warned
me that running might cause43damage,but my determination outweighed the fear.

invisible 45 that carried runners forward.By mile 18,however,my legs turned to lead )
Each step made me recall the 46 I'd faced during physical therapy-the frustration of
progress lost,the loneliness of early-morning exercises.
Then came the Queensboro Bridge.As I climbed the steep slope,an elderly runner beside
me stumbled.Without thinking,I 47 my pace to steady him."Thanks,kid,"he wheezed.

shouts from tired voices.Crossing the finish line,I didn't feel the expected 50.Instead,

I realized,aren't merely about physical 52;they teach us that true victory lies in the 53

Today,my marathon medal hangs next to my physical therapy discharge papers

but in our courage to55 them-step by step.
