The topic of my speech today is \—a generation born in the 2000s\
Living in an environment full of fiercer competition, we, a generation born in the 2000s, are faced with problems of entering higher schools and getting employed. Under these
circumstances, we are developing our special manners and values, which has raised people's concern.
They worry that we care too much about ourselves and are unwilling to cooperate with others, which makes it hard for us to achieve success in whatever we do. Also, they consider us as lacking in determination, and this is what it takes to do any job well. Without it, we may easily give up in face of difficulty.
However, we have our own advantages. Firstly, we have the courage to meet challenges and take risks, which helps us realize our dreams. Besides, we are quickminded and creative. We can do our work more efficiently. Yet, we still need to learn more from those experienced. Please do trust us!
That's all. Thank you for your listening! (150词)

Humans have always considered themselves special compared with other animals．One reason is the complexity of our language-bounded by unique rules，such as syntax，where we string words together in a specific order to create meaningful sentences．But it turns out a bird may also vocalize(发声)with syntax rules．
The Japanese great tit is a bird that’s a close relative of North America’s very own chickadee．Toshitaka Suzuki of Japan’s Graduate University for Advanced Studies has beenlistening to the calls of the Japanese great tit for the past decade．Suzuki has recorded at leastten types of alarm calls used by the bird．One of those is known as the ABC call，which warnsother great tits of the presence of a predator(捕食者)，and another is the D call，which signalsthe birds to approach the caller．
Now Suzuki and his colleagues have found that the great tit uses those calls together to deliver both messages to other birds．And they found that the order of that call was vital-only ABC-D call made sense to the birds．When the scientists intentionally changed the order to create a D-ABC call，the birds did not respond．The study is published in the journal Nature Communications．
“I think the really interesting thing is why the order matters，and figuring that out I think will be difficult but also potentially really，really interesting，because it'll give a lot of deep understanding．．．”said David Wheatcroft of Sweden’s Uppsala University, a member of the study scientists．“You wouldn’t expect that it would matter．Obviously it matters in human language，the order in which we say things，but it's still somehow amazing when you find it in birds．So I think understanding why it’s the case will be really interesting in the future”
The work could help explain the evolution of the building blocks and structure(结构)of our own language．
32．What’s the major function of paragraph 1? A．To show language differences to readers．
B．To tell a commonly accepted belief to readers． C.To introduce the background of the whole text． D．To raise readers’interest in the following text． 33．Why did the birds make no response to D—ABC call?
A．It failed to make any sense． B．It was far beyond their level． C．They found it barely natural． D.They were afraid of scientists． 34．What can we know according to David Wheatcroft’s words?
A．He speaks positively of the discovery that the sound order exists in birds． B．Scientists have already understood the reason why the order matters． C．The order discovered in birds is as obvious as in human language． D．He thinks scientists look for the order in birds for entertainment． 35．What is the best title for the text?
