Imagine a world without texts or emails. That's hard to picture because we use them every day! But long ago, ancient people also found ways to send messages far away. For example, early Australians used smoke to send messages as early as 15,000 B.C.
As time went on, people built better systems(系统) to send messages. Around 2400 B.C., Egypt started the first postal(邮政的) system. Later, in 1000 B.C., China made it even better by using a relay(接力) system with stations and fresh horses. This way, messages could travel up to 200 miles in a single day. Around 600 B.C., Persia improved things further by building roads from Turkey to India and using one language for messages. Their excellent riders could finish a three-month trip on foot in just over a week! However, at that time, these systems were only for government messages.
But over time, things began to change. By the Middle Ages, common people and businesses started their own mail networks.
Two big changes in the 1800s helped create the modern postal system. First, a British teacher named Rowland Hill invented the stamp. Before that, the receiver paid for the letter — if they refused, it wasn't sent. With prepaid stamps, mail became easier and cheaper. Soon, many countries followed. Second, in 1874, the Universal Postal Union was formed to make international mail rules the same everywhere.
Today, email has taken the place of traditional mail, but sending packages(包裹) is more popular than ever because online shopping has become so common. Postal systems now use machines and even AI to put letters in order.
The mail keeps moving — always changing to meet people's needs and new ways of staying in touch.

B、150 miles. C、200 miles.(3)、What was special about Rowland Hill's invention?A、It made the sender pay for the letter before it was sent. B、It let people send letters without paying any money. C、It helped post offices print stamps in an easier and cheaper way.(4)、What can we infer (推断) from the text?A、Old mail systems were for everyone. B、Mail is still changing with new technology. C、Online shopping makes traditional mail less popular.(5)、What is the text mainly about?A、How postal systems have developed over time. B、How modern technology has changed our lives. C、How people sent messages before modern technology. -

A girl believed that she had many talents and could succeed in many fields. All she needed to do was choose one thing and focus on it. One day, she sat in front of a clean canvas(画布) and started to paint. She painted carefully, and soon finished a wonderful piece — a beautiful sunflower standing tall in a field. She looked at her work and smiled with pride.
But soon, she grew worried. "If I spend all my time painting," she thought, "what about medicine, gardening, or teaching? There are so many choices! If I pick one, won't the others be wasted?" She couldn't decide which path to take. So she looked at her painting one last time and walked out into the night.
She wandered aimlessly for many years, always thinking about her endless choices. But she never made a choice. Twenty-five years passed. One day, she broke down in tears. She realized she had wasted so much time choosing instead of doing. She had tried so many things, but had never really put her heart into anything meaningful. She finally understood that life is not about what you can do. It is about making a decision and doing what you truly love.
So the woman, no longer a girl, went to a farm and began to paint. This time, she painted a field of sunflowers, all turning toward the sun. She looked at her work, smiling with comfort. And she finally made her choice.
(1)、What did the girl paint at the beginning of the story?A、A large garden. B、A beautiful sunflower. C、A rising sun.(2)、Why did the girl grow worried soon?A、Because she feared losing other chances in life. B、Because she felt tired of painting and wanted to rest. C、Because she realized she had wasted too much time.(3)、What does the underlined part "wandered aimlessly" mean?A、Walked carefully by heart. B、Walked with great effort. C、Walked without any purpose.(4)、How did the woman feel when she finished painting on the farm?A、Proud and excited. B、 Peaceful and comfortable. C、Regretful and tired.(5)、What is the writer's purpose of writing this text?A、To explain how to become a successful painter. B、To advise us to try as many things as possible in life. C、To tell us that we should focus on one thing we love. -

In early 2025,fishermen along the south-west coast of England started pulling up their crab pots(笼) and discovered something unfamiliar. Instead of common crabs and lobsters,the pots were filled with plenty of common octopuses(章鱼). One pot even held over a dozen octopuses moving inside. A fisherman with nearly 40 years' experience said,"I've never seen octopus like this. "
Official government records show a shocking change. In May 2025,over 400 tons of octopus were caught——a monthly total never before seen in British history. In the past,monthly octopus catches hardly ever rose above 75 tons. In 2025 as a whole,about 233,000 octopuses were caught,around 13 times the normal number.
Scientists began research at once. This sudden rise. called an octopus"bloom",has only been recorded three times in 125 years. Dr Bryce Stewart stated that the event"shows clearly how sea life reacts to a warming ocean. " Higher water temperatures improve the survival and growth of young octopuses,and unusual currents(洋流) may have carried tiny baby octopuses across the Channel toward the UK coast.
Matt Slater,an ocean protection officer,called it"an extraordinary population explosion unseen for 75 years. " Although some fishermen turned to catching octopus and earned much money,more than half said the event harmed their business seriously. One fisherman said,"We once caught a ton of crabs daily,but as octopuses feed on shellfish,we failed to reach that total all year. " Plymouth's government described the situation as"a great challenge for the local fishing industry. "
Scientists warn this may not be a single incident. Dr Stewart added,"As climate change warms our seas rapidly,strange biological events will probably become more often. "
(1)、What did fishermen find in their pots in early 2025?A、Lots of common crabs. B、Many common octopuses. C、Only small crabs and lobsters. D、Plenty of common lobsters.(2)、According to Paragraph 2,how many octopuses are caught normally every year?A、Around 233,000. B、Around 17,900. C、About 400 tons. D、About 75 tons.(3)、What does the word"bloom" mean in Paragraph 3?A、A type of ocean flower. B、A dangerous sea animal. C、A creative fishing method. D、A sudden large increase.(4)、What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A、Octopus business makes little money. B、Fishermen all give up crab fishing. C、The number of crabs dropped greatly. D、The local fishing industry is still safe.(5)、What is the writer's purpose in writing the text?A、To remind people to care about ocean warming. B、To help fishermen learn to catch octopuses. C、To explain how sea animals find new homes. D、To show ways to change ocean temperatures. -

Evan and his 15-year-old brother,Mark,liked spending time with their grandmother. One day,Grandma was busy painting her kitchen,so she asked the boys to look for games in the attic(阁楼).
The brothers climbed to the attic. Evan found an old diary in a dusty box rather than a game. He opened it and discovered a map!The drawing showed Grandma' s house,a raindrop inside a square,two little triangles(三角形),and a dock(码头). A large"X" marked the"Greatest Fishing Spot(地点)" near the dock.
Excitedly,Evan asked,"Do you think we can find this spot?" Mark took a closer look. "Let's try," he said. They ran downstairs. "Mom,we' re going on a treasure hunt!" Evan shouted. "Okay," Mom laughed.
"The square with the raindrop is behind Grandma' s house," Mark said. He looked up and noticed a faded(褪色的) blue spot on the water tower. "Look!The water tower once had a raindrop painted on it. That must be it. "

The boys showed her the map. Mom smiled. "That's my map from when I was a girl. Grandma and I loved fishing from that dock. "
"Could you take us there?The dock is gone,but maybe it's still a great fishing spot,"Evan said hopefully. Grandma smiled,recalling the times she spent with Mom. "Sure," she agreed. "Let's see if the fish still like it there. ""I' ll get our fishing poles(鱼竿)," Evan offered. The map had led to a treasure—and a chance to spend time with Grandma.

When I was a kid,my two brothers and I would stay with Grandparents for a week during summer vacation. Those1 were the highlight of our entire year—we always looked forward to spending every moment with them,especially Grandpa,the"hero" in our eyes.
Grandpa became2 when he was 20 years old,after a sudden illness,but it never slowed down the strong-willed man. He worked in a3 every day. Customers would give him money,and he would return the right change and give them4 what they wanted. He had many friends who visited the shop just to talk to him,and at that time,I helped to5 their drinks and snacks,feeling proud to be part of his world. This made me feel grown-up,like I was contributing to6 special.

As a boy,I would8 him move around the house from room to room as if he could see.

Have you ever felt worried when something in your life changed unexpectedly?You' re not alone —these feelings are totally common.
Life keeps changing. While some changes are exciting,others may make us feel nervous. Whether you like them or not,changes cannot be avoided. Having a good understanding of them may make it easier for us to deal with changes.
What are life changes?
Many new things happen in life. Some are good choices you make. like joining a team or meeting friends. They can be big things like moving schools,a friend going away or the death of your beloved one. Smaller changes might include having a new teacher or adapting(适应) to parents' new work schedules. All these can create strong emotions,but that's normal.
Changes can be difficult because we can't predict results. Emily Hanlon,a psychologist(心理学家),says,"Our brains like familiar things because they feel safe. When something changes,like starting a new school or moving to a new home,it can feel like stepping into the unknown. " Changes can also be hard if you don't feel quite ready for them or you are not in control of whatever is happening.
Can change be a good thing?
Trying new things helps discover what you like and dislike,such as tasting new ice cream flavors to find favorites. Hanlon says,"Though changes can be scary,they often bring new experiences,friendships,and strengths. " So face the changes and believe in yourself.
A. This makes us anxious because we don't know what's coming.
B. Changes also help us grow and learn skills.
C. Why can it be hard to deal with?
D. But some changes might make you feel worried.
E. Changes are a normal part of life.
