3、When I first built my website 3 years ago, I had no idea what I was doing.
Naturally, I went to various websites and blogs for1. I noticed the common features like social media buttons, advertisements, comments and more. At first glance, these seemed2since every website had them. But as I3my site, I found they were not. Instead, a clean, user-friendly design is a good4, which had positive effects. Without advertisements or social media buttons, more people were5. It seemed that the more my website was6, the better the results were.
Later, I noticed the7 of simplicity in other areas of life.
As a kid, I was too weak. As an athlete, I needed to get stronger. So I spent hours designing the right combination of exercises. But unfortunately, I8got stronger. I assumed that I was missing some kind of exercise, so I kept9something new. However, it took me years to realize that I had not been on the right track with my training, with so many types of exercises10.
Accordingly, later I11the complex works and focused on just one or two exercises. Surprisingly, there was a noticeable12in my strength in just four months.
From websites to workouts, I made progress by ignoring, reducing and13the non-essential choices. I think this principle also14to most things in life. So when you make a list of your plans, decide what truly matters to you and15the rest.

4、Many of our memory systems are driven by one single, powerful urge: to survive.
Therefore, we can navigate our local environments safely. We're also naturally talented at recognizing faces. Ever since we lived in groups, we humans have needed to know who's "part of the pack", and who isn't, as a vital part of staying safe.
And we're excellent at remembering things that might put our well-being at risk. A recent research showed that we're remarkably accurate at recalling anything connected with infection.
In the study, volunteers were shown a set of objects that they would be tested on later. But there was a twist. Some of the items were held by a researcher who was said to have got flu. And guess what? Those "contaminated (受污染的)" objects proved to be significantly easier to recall.
None of the volunteers would ever have to touch those things themselves. But their minds still prioritized them, locking in the information for later — just in case it could keep them safe.
When you've got something important to remember, why not "tag" it with one of those unpleasant feelings that your brain can't help holding on to?
Worried about forgetting the milk from your shopping list? Picture the bottle, and imagine opening it only to discover that it's weeks out of date. Think about how it would look — and smell!Your instinct for self-protection keeps things in your thought more than normally. Don't try this technique too often, though, or you'll end up always feeling on edge!
A. It enables us to have a disgustingly good memory.
B. Even imaginary dangers can sharpen our memory skills.
C. We seem to be born with the ability to remember routes.
D. It's an involuntary response that you can use to your advantage.
E. To sharpen our brain, we visualize everything as what we hate.
F. Thanks to the power of disgust, you'll have a better chance of remembering the fresh one.
G. But, when your memory needs a boost, a bit of negative feelings can be healthy for your recall.

5、From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But ants aren't like cars. They don't get stuck in stop-and-go traffic. Researchers are now studying these insects. They want to learn how to program self-driving cars that do not jam up.
The free flow of traffic becomes unstable as the density (密度) of cars increases on a highway. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, one driver tapping their brakes can trigger a wave of jam. "It's a kind of phase transition," like water turning from a liquid to a solid form, says Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist at the University of Tokyo who studies these jamming transitions.
Ants can maintain their flow even at high densities. So what's their secret? In a recent study, researchers recorded ants on trails, using traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. What did they find? The ants travel in groups of three to twenty. They move at nearly constant rates. They keep good distances between one another. And they do not speed up to pass others.
Human drivers at rush hour are hardly likely to follow such rules. "We're maximizing the interests of individuals. That's why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam," says study co-author Nicola Pugno. But self-driven cars, if they one day become common, could have more cooperative programming. In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share information with nearby cars. This would improve traffic flow, perhaps, the researchers suggest, by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road.
This vehicle network would be similar to ant trails. The insects use scent to control behavior while interacting with one another. "There is no leader," but this organization emerges anyway, says Noa Pinter-Wollman, a behavioral scientist studying ants at the University of California, Los Angeles. And in both ant and vehicle traffic, this type of distributed system can be "very, very strong" and flexible, Nishinari says.
Today's drivers can learn at least one thing from ants. By leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in dense traffic conditions that would otherwise be grown into a big traffic jam with no obvious cause. "Just keeping away," he says, can help traffic flow smoothly.
(1)、What is the purpose of the study?A、To dig out ants' secret in keeping their flow. B、To improve autonomous cars' function. C、To better traffic rules on highways. D、To restrict drivers' behaviour at rush hour.(2)、Why does the author mention the "phase transition" in the second paragraph?A、To illustrate a phenomenon. B、To emphasize an opinion. C、To propose a solution. D、To describe a process.(3)、Ants can keep smooth flow because .A、they interact with each other through scent B、they move in groups of flexible sizes C、they follow a strong leadership D、they travel at steady speeds with safe distances(4)、How can the future vehicle network be updated?A、By programming a more cooperative pattern. B、By sharing real-time information with other drivers. C、By keeping away with in-time braking. D、By lowering the density of traffic flow. -
6、More than 20,000 ready-to-cook fotiaoqiang have been exported to the United States and Canada, marking the first international shipment for Juchunyuan, a time-honored Chinese food brand.
Fotiaoqiang, also known as "Buddha Jumps over the Wall", gets its name from a legend that its irresistible scent could tempt even a vegetarian Buddha to leap over a wall for a taste. This luxurious dish mixes expensive ingredients like abalone (鲍鱼), chicken, and mushrooms, which are slow-cooked for hours or even days to blend rich flavors. Dating back to the reign of Emperor Tongzhi (1862-1875) of the Qing Dynasty, it is often served at special events, symbolizing wealth and hospitality. The original recipe was created at Juchunyuan restaurant in Fuzhou, the capital city of Fujian.
"For many overseas Chinese, fotiaoqiang is a must at Spring Festival feasts," said Wang Yue, deputy general manager of Fuzhou Juchunyuan Group. Now, they are processed following the standards for ready-to-cook foods and then, they are distributed via a cold chain system. This keeps the traditional flavor preserved. It would have been very difficult to make and export Chinese delicacies like fotiaoqiang in large quantities due to the complexity of the traditional cooking method. The maturing of the ready-to-cooking food business has presented new opportunities for Chinese catering (饮食) companies to break into overseas markets, according to Wang.
There are around 60 million overseas Chinese worldwide. This means there is huge potential for the export of Chinese foods. China's abundant supply of agricultural produce, rich food culture, stable industry and supply chain, and policy support from local authorities in recent years, havecollectively laid solid groundwork for taking ready-to-cook Chinese foods globally.
In June, Fujian province hosted a special event for more than 40 suppliers. They were able to connect both online and offline with representatives of over 10 buyers from the US and Canada. This will help take the country's food culture further to the world.
(1)、What can be learned about fotiaoqiang in the first two paragraphs?A、It was initially served in court. B、It has a fascinating religious origin. C、It is a dish with unique cultural identity. D、It mirrors a dialogue between different cultures.(2)、What is the main challenge in exporting fotiaoqiang in large quantities?A、High costs of expensive ingredients. B、Limited cold chain technology. C、Less acceptance by vegetarian consumers. D、Technical complexity of cooking methods.(3)、What does the underlined word "collectively" in the fourth paragraph mean?A、Jointly. B、Literally. C、Sincerely. D、Thoroughly.(4)、What's the passage mainly about?A、The cultural heritage value of Fujian's iconic dish. B、The challenges of preserving traditional cooking skills. C、The global expansion of Chinese ready-to-cook foods. D、Authorities'support in boosting regional food exports. -
7、Mom died just before the Christmas season the year before, after a short battle with cancer. At the age of seventy-two, she had been well prepared for her death, but I was not.
Of both French and Indian background, she had a gentle, soft touch. All her life, Mom was there for me; although now a grown woman, I still needed my senior parent for advice and comfort. We were the best of friends, and over the years, we shared, laughed and cried together.
I often found myself wearing her red sweater, which had been Mom's favourite, and it was faded and worn from years of use. To cope with my grief, I would imagine my mom wearing the red sweater and reaching out to comfort me. Her warm hands, worn and shrivelled (干枯) from age and work, had cared for a large family, and brought life to plants and flowers.
Mom lost both her cultures when she married my father, a white man, and moved from her island to live on his. When she arrived in isolated and rural Cardigan at the age of eighteen, she began to learn English. Sadly, her knowledge of both French and her native Chinook began to fade away.
One of my favourite memories are the native powwws (帕瓦仪式) we attended on Panmure Island. FirstNations people from all over North America travelled there to participate in the powwows. It was an opportunity forMom to mingle with the First Nations people, wear her native shirt, dance in the sacred circle and socialize. She loved going to those powwows and I remember her proudly telling an elder once, "I'm Indian, too." Although she had moved into the white man's world when she married, she never lost her Chinook heritage of strong native spirituality, deep respect for the land, and love for the outdoors— all of which she passed on to me and my eight brothers and sisters.
Now, her image travels with me when I feel grief and pain. She always wears the red sweater and for an instant, our hands join. Death has not separated us.
(1)、Why did I keep Mom's red sweater?A、It was a gift from my mom as my best friend. B、It was Mom's favourite despite its overuse. C、It witnessed my growth from a girl to a woman. D、It held many memories and offered me comfort.(2)、Why did Mom love to attend the native powwow?A、She lost her culture after she married my father. B、She was eager to be identified with her ancient roots. C、She felt isolated and wanted to make friends there. D、She was passionate about outdoor activities.(3)、Which of the following best describes Mom?A、Quiet and considerate. B、Strict and determined. C、Talkative and humorous. D、Hardworking and caring.(4)、Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A、A Valuable Heritage B、Silenced Cultural Identity C、The Red Sweater D、Journey to the Roots -

19、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The first snowflakes of December floated down, painting the world outside Sarah's window white. Inside, the cozy living room smelled of pine needles and cinnamon (肉桂皮). Twelve-year-old Sarah stood on a chair, carefully hanging handmade paper stars above the fireplace — a Christmas tradition her mother had started years ago. "Each star holds a wish, Mom used to say, her eyes twinkling as she lifted Sarah to place the highest one."
This year, Sarah's wish was simple: Bake gingerbread cookies with Dad, just like before. Her father, a truck driver often away for days, had promised. No work on Christmas Eve! We'll make a mess in the kitchen, just you and me, he'd declared two days ago, kissing her forehead before heading out.
But now, heavy snow blurred the streetlights, and the clock ticked past 7 PM. Sarah's phone buzzed—a text from Dad: "Traffic jam near Pineville. Home by 8! Don't eat all the sprinkles (糖粉)!" She smiled, arranging cookie cutters in the shape of stars, trees, and reindeer. The recipe book, stained with chocolate from happier times, lay open on the table.
By 8:30 PM, the storm roared louder. News reports warned of closed roads and accidents. Sarah called Dad repeatedly, but his phone rang unanswered. She hugged her knees by the fireplace, staring at the photo on the mantel (壁炉台): Mom laughing and flour dusting her nose as Dad pretended to bite a half-baked cookie. After Mom's passing away last year, Christmas had felt hollow. "This year has to be different," Sarah thought.
Suddenly, a loud knock startled her. Through the frosted window, red and blue lights flashed—a police car! Sarah's hands turned icy. "Was there an accident?" She stumbled to the door, her socks slipping on the wooden floor.
