16、One evening I was running late for a meeting and I passed a friend in the hallway. My friend asked the daily1 question, "How are you doing?" However, rather than give the2 response, "Good, how about you?" I decided to3 my dissatisfaction with traffic, people who can't4 their cellphones at traffic lights, poor vision in the rain and everything else about my5 journey to work.
Instead of showing sympathy, my friend asked a challenging question, "What would have happened if your guardian angel hadn't 6 those traffic problems?" The inference was that I might have been7 something much worse than being late for a meeting. My8 reaction was to laugh and walk on, but later I began to9 what he had asked. Over the next few days, the more I thought about this question, the more10 I was able to see in it.
I thought about my family experiences as well as the things that had happened to me, and the seed he had11 started to grow. I remembered my uncle who was late for a flight and the flight he had12 crashed down. I remembered when13 kept me from accidents on the same road I was traveling on.
Ever since my friend gave me his advice in the form of a14, I have become less stressed. Keeping the advice in mind makes me feel more15 and has improved my life.

17、The Hedgehog (刺猬)'s Dilemma is an idea about wanting close relationships but being afraid of getting hurt emotionally. German philosopher Schopenhauer used the metaphor (比喻) of hedgehogs seeking warmth on a cold winter day: they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other's quills (刺). They separate, only to feel the cold again, eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain.
So that's the theory, but what does this look like in our everyday lives?. But should we let these experiences stop us from trusting people in the future? Schopenhauer's advice would probably be "yes".For example, a previous study found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50% increased likelihood of survival. Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (隔离)are equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.Psychological therapist (心理治疗师) Hilary Sanders explains that behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood. These defenses may protect us for a short time, but if they last too long, they can stop us from making real connections.
In conclusion, the natural longing for connection drives us to seek out meaningful relationships, even when we know that weakness can lead to emotional pain. Unlike hedgehogs, humans don't have the quills.So when we learn to lower our defenses for safe people, there's a chance we actually can have it all—the warmth of true relationships without the fear of being hurt.
A. However, modern research offers a different perspective.
B. This metaphor shows how important it is to fit in with nature.
C. Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences.
D. These experiences can make it difficult to trust others in the future.
E. Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships.
F. This is similar to humans' struggle to balance closeness and self-protection.
G. We have the ability to choose whom we trust and how we protect ourselves.

18、Animals appear to predict (预测) earthquakes by sensing electricity in the air — the first study to find reliable evidence of the phenomenon has shown.
Cameras showed an "amazing" drop in the number of animals up to 23 days before a major quake hit their rainforest home at Yanachaga National Park in Peru. Lead scientist Dr Rachel Grant, from Anglia Ruskin University, said, "The results showed that just before the earthquake, animals' activity dropped right down."
On a normal (正常的) day the cameras placed around Yanachaga National Park record between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days before the earthquake, the number of animals dropped to five or fewer per day. No animals were photographed at all on five of the seven days immediately before the quake.
Another study showed that animal activity remained normal in the park over a different period when seismic (地震的) activity was low. Co-author, professor Friedemann Freund, said, "The cameras were located at an altitude of 900 meters. If air ionization (电离) occurred, the animals would escape to the valley below, where there were fewer positive ions (离子). With their ability to sense their environment, animals can help us understand small changes that occur before major earthquakes."
Other evidence suggested that before the earthquake, the air around the high mountain sites is filled with positive ions that can be produced when rocks are placed under stress. Positive ions have been known to cause ill effects in humans as well as animals. Scientists believe the animals were made to feel uncomfortable by the positive ions, leading them to avoid the area. They are thought to have escaped to lower ground, where the air was less ionized. The findings may help experts develop better short-term seismic forecasts.
(1)、How did scientists conduct the study?A、By comparing different animals' habits. B、By observing animals in high mountains. C、By analyzing the photos of animals they obtained. D、By explaining the positive ion phenomenon.(2)、What usually happens before earthquakes according to the text?A、The ground at a lower altitude is less ionized. B、Cameras normally record more animals per day. C、The air is filled with positive ions. D、The activity of animals before earthquakes is normal.(3)、What can we learn from the text?A、The findings make for long-term seismic forecasts. B、Animals tend to be uneasy with more positive ions. C、Positive ions make humans and animals nervous. D、All the animals remain abnormal before the earthquake.(4)、What can be a suitable title for the text?A、Negative Influence of Positive Ions B、Ions' Destruction to the Environment C、Animals' Behavior Before Earthquakes D、Creatures' Ability to Predict Natural Disasters -
19、A new study from UBC Okanagan says students appear to be using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) responsibly, and as a way to speed up tasks, not just improve their grades. Dr. Meaghan MacNutt, who teaches professional ethics (伦理学) in the UBCO School of Health and Exercise Sciences (HES), recently published a study which goes against common concerns about students' use of AI.
Students in three different courses, almost 400 participants, completed a survey about their use of AI on at least five reflective writing assignments. All three courses used an identical AI policy and students had the choice to use the tool for their writing.
While only about one-third of the students used AI, the majority of users, 81 percent, reported their GenAI use was inspired by at least one of the following factors: speed and ease in completing the assignment, a desire for high grades and a desire to learn. About 15 percent of the students said they were motivated by all three factors, with more than 50 percent using it to save time on the assignment.
"There is a lot of speculation (猜想) when it comes to students' use of AI," MacNutt says. "However, students in our study reported that GenAI use was motivated more by learning than by grades, and they are using GenAI tools selectively (有选择地) and in ways they believe are ethical and supportive of their learning. This was somewhat unexpected due to the common view that undergraduate students have become increasingly focused on grades at the expense of learning."
MacNutt says continued research in this area can only provide a better understanding of student behaviour and attitudes as GenAI technologies continue to advance. She also suggests, while AI continues to be used more frequently, that institutions and educators adopt an approach that reflects "collaboration with" rather than "surveillance of" students.
(1)、What can be inferred about Dr. MacNutt's study?A、Participants were too limited. B、Policies on AI tool usage vary. C、AI is a choice for writing tasks. D、The survey focused on writing skills.(2)、What was the main motivation for the majority of GenAI users in the study?A、To improve academic performance. B、To achieve higher grades effortlessly. C、To replace their own writing entirely. D、To gain an absolute advantage over others.(3)、The underlined word "surveillance" in paragraph 5 means ________.A、Ignoring. B、Monitoring. C、Understanding. D、Encouragement.(4)、What is the significance of Dr. MacNutt's study?A、It highlights common concerns about GenAI in education. B、It warns that GenAI might encourage shortcuts in learning. C、It proves that GenAI helps students improve their grades quickly. D、It shows that students can use GenAI responsibly to support learning. -
20、I'm James. Tired from work, I felt life was boring and I really needed something to change my focus. One night I came across a website recommending scuba (水肺) diving lessons. I hadn't ever thought much about the idea of diving before; but its complete unfamiliarity sparked my interest; I decided to give it a shot! I had my training lessons at an indoor swimming pool. After finishing the courses, I felt very happy and proud for getting over my first fear and discomfort of breathing underwater.
Knowing I hadn't yet experienced what real scuba diving is all about, I spent hours researching where the best places to dive were. Before I knew it. I was on an airplane to Belize. Less than a day after I arrived, and just a few minutes into my first ocean dive. I was already diving straight down and found myself 80 feet underwater. It's the kind of extraordinary water having such great visibility (能见度) that you can see clearly for hundreds of feet around you.
Within minutes our 4-person dive group was surrounded by numerous nurse sharks, a moray eel (海鳗), large groupers and sea turtles. I was madly in love with scuba diving. As we reached the bottom, a lone nurse shark swam right under me. More started to arrive. Just as I was shooting pictures of the action and not paying attention to anything or anyone else around, I looked up to see a bright green threatening face headed straight for me. He wasn't the least bit shy. He had apparently never heard of personal space. After he decided to swim by me without causing any bodily harm, I was both relieved and excited.
This will always be that one special dive that changed everything and I get to watch it any time I find myself missing the water.
(1)、What pushed James to try scuba diving?A、He had taken some diving lessons. B、He lived in a flat near a swimming pool. C、He wanted to escape from work exhaustion. D、He had always been interested in water sports.(2)、How was James's first ocean dive?A、He hadn't trained for it. B、He didn't adopt a gradual strategy. C、He immediately felt comfortable and saw no fear. D、He stayed near the surface and didn't go very deep.(3)、Why did James mention sea animals?A、To underline their diversity. B、To introduce their wildness. C、To demonstrate diving appeal D、To promote ocean exploration(4)、What is the suitable title for the text?A、How deep down I swam! B、How I overcame fear! C、What an underwater thrill! D、What a beautiful excitement!
