• 1、Emma, Jake and Mr Li are having a discussion on curiosity.

    Emma: I think curiosity is fantastic! It helps us learn new things and solve problems. Last month, I was curious about how different plants grow better in different environments. I did a small experiment with flowers—some needed more sunlight; some needed more water; and some grew best in the shade. I never knew that before! If I hadn't been curious, I wouldn't have discovered that each plant has its own way of growing. Curiosity helps me understand the world better.

    Jake: I agree that curiosity is important, but sometimes it can lead to trouble if we aren't careful. I remember last year, I was really curious about my dad's old radio. I wanted to see how it worked, so I took it apart. But I didn't know how to put it back together, and it broke. My dad wasn't happy about it. That's when I realized that curiosity without knowledge or caution can sometimes cause problems.

    Mr Li: Both of you have good points. Curiosity is indeed powerful—it's the reason we have so many brilliant inventions today. Think about Thomas Edison, who was always a curious man. His experiments led to the invention of the light bulb, changing the way people live. Curiosity drove him to explore and solve problems. But curiosity also needs responsibility. If you are curious about how a car works, it's great to learn! But you wouldn't try driving it without knowing the rules of the road, right?

    Emma: That makes sense! So, curiosity is good, but it needs to be guided in a right way.

    Jake: Exactly! When we are curious, we should also be ready to learn and understand before taking action. It's not just about exploring; it's about being responsible too.

    Mr Li: Perfectly said. Curiosity is the key to knowledge, but wisdom helps us use it wisely. Let's stay curious, but always think about the results of our actions. When we balance curiosity with learning and responsibility, it can lead to wonderful discoveries without unnecessary risks.

    Jake and Emma: We agree!

  • 2、I'm Lisa. I live in year 2095. I'm a student from Nova Middle School and I really love it!

    At the school gate, a fingerprint recognition system helps ensure1 as only students and school staff can enter.

    Every week, we have a pet training programme where students can2 their pets. While students are in class, AI-powered trainers teach pets problem-solving skills and even basic communication. Thanks to this, my dog Coco has become more3 .

    Getting to different classes is easy. We just step onto the teleportation (远距离传送) stand, and within a second, we4 at the right classroom! Floating desks can be5 around the room, which allows students to rearrange their learning space easily.

    As for homework, we complete it on a holographic (全息图的) interactive board, which provides real-time feedback and detailed explanations. We have already replaced pens with the power of our6 to control digital ink, making writing faster and easier. This means we don't need to move or say a single word. We just need to be focused and think clearly.

    PE classes are great! My favourite part is the underwater racetrack, where we ride small underwater motorcycles. In a health class, we sometimes use wheelchairs. It helps us better understand the great difficulties faced by the7 students in class. Field trips are also exciting. Our school bus is8 a special kind of strong glass. It runs on clean energy and can9 travel on land, underwater, in the air, and even in space. Even a primary school student can operate it without any difficulty. Underwater, it swims like a fish, and in the sky, it flies like a bird.

    What do you think of my school? To me, it's not just a school, but a wonderful place that truly10 the way of learning.

  • 3、For years, it has been said that newspapers are at death's door. Each of the past few years has seen many newspapers say goodbye to their readers. But why is the situation so terrible for newspapers?

    Newspapers have a long history. The first newspaper was printed in1 1600s. The industry witnessed2 most successful periods in the early 20th century.

    With the appearance of radio and TV, however, newspaper circulation began to fall. By the mid-20th century, radio and TV had become so popular that people no longer had to rely on newspapers for news. This was especially true for breaking news.

    Afternoon newspapers were the first to suffer. People coming home from work increasingly turned on the TV, rather than open a newspaper. But generally, newspapers still managed to survive.3 they couldn't compete with TV in terms of delivering the latest news, they could provide in-depth reports that TV news could not.

    But newspapers suffered4 heavier blow in the 1990s. With the appearance of the internet,5 information became free. Many newspaper readers realized that they could6 read news online for free. There seemed to be little reason any longer for them7 for a newspaper subscription.

    So what does the future hold? Will newspapers die, just like cassettes and typewriters? Maybe not. Now, many newspapers8. Some are going digital. Some are going even9 by taking the industry to places it has never been to. After all, people still want the news. And many agree that newspapers are an important source of in-depth news and ideas. If newspapers were to entirely disappear, there would be10 to take their place.
