Beep, beep! The alarm rang one early morning and Sara's hands reached for the phone to turn it off, sending chills down her spine (脊背发凉). She had been up all night, practicing math in preparation for the exam. Though she was a bright student who scored well in English, science and other subjects, math had always remained a struggle for her.

"I've learned everything, but my mind just can't get it. It's like I've forgotten everything," she cried. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she got butterflies in her stomach. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Breakfast is ready. Come, darling," called her mother. Sara quickly dried her eyes and rushed to the bathroom. "OK, Mum, I'll be there in five minutes," she said.

"Sara, bring your sandwich in the car and finish it on the way. Hurry up!" her mother said.

Sara responded, holding her sandwich but not taking any bites. All she could think was, "Why does math even exist? Why can't we choose whether or not to study it? My overall scores will drop again because of poor math scores." When they arrived at school, Sara made her way to the examination hall with a heavy heart. A teacher handed out the test papers.

As Sara looked at her paper, a wave of anxiety hit her. The math problems seemed to dance before her eyes. She held her pen tightly and swallowed (咽口水) hard, realizing that there wasn't a single question she could solve. Her mind went blank, and she dropped her pen, resting her head on the table.

Noticing her uneasiness (不安), the teacher asked if she was feeling well. Sara didn't respond, so the teacher took her to the office and called her class teacher Miss Mona, a kind and welcoming lady. Feeling comfortable with Miss Mona, Sara opened up about her dislike of math. She explained that while she tried hard to understand the problems, she struggled to keep up with the rest of the class, which made her feel slow and hesitant to do math.

Then I went to see Sean several times. Each time I entered her house, my mind flooded with guilt and anxiety. I always needed someone to2 to me, but her daughter-in-law, even her grandchildren, wouldn't take the time to learn sign language.

That night I saw that look of3 on her face. The next time I saw Cheryl, I didn't get the notepad or let my friend Sean help me, but decided to4, whatever it would take.

I could see5 appearing on her face as I spelled out each word with gesture. I knew how she felt knowing that someone6 enough to learn to communicate with her.

Let this year's summertime be a reminder to control your technology use and ensure it isn't taking up your free time in a harmful way. If you want to use your home Internet to improve work-life balance, try a digital detox (排毒疗法). For many of us who rely on our cell phones for work, a total digital detox can be nearly impossible. However, there are several detox methods that can still suit your existing Internet needs.

Set disconnection time. Spare one to two hours per day for disconnection. For example, if you tend to do tasks in the evening, choose that time to put away all screens. Worried you might give in to temptation (诱惑)? Switch off your Wi-Fi router to prevent any online access.

Try a focus app. Apps like Opal and Forest are designed for productivity and focus. You can cut off the entire Internet or just certain distracting websites. Additionally, you can set focus times, such as during work hours, to help keep your concentration.

Weekend warrior (战士). If your goal is to strengthen your relationships, a weekend digital detox is a good way to start your progress. Going screen-free for 48 hours can be challenging at first. It can also give you enough time to reflect on your tech reliance and its impact on your presence with friends and family.

A. Simply leaving your phone in another room can be a good start.

B. Not everyone needs to disconnect from the Internet.

C. They allow you to control your technology access.

D. With it not working, you will have to take part in other activities.

E. It doesn't have to mean completely stopping using the Internet.

F. However, sticking to it can provide a big sense of achievement.

G. Therefore, seize this very season to reflect on your tech habits.

What makes this robotic hand so special? It can feel and adjust its grip just like a human hand can. Imagine trying to pick up a ping-pong ball with just your little finger, or holding both a baseball and a golf ball in one hand without dropping them. The F-TAC Hand can do these things! If it picks up a cup full of water, it automatically adjusts its hold to keep the cup steady and prevent spills — reacting faster than you can blink.

The secret lies in its amazing touch sensors. Covering 70% of the hand's surface, these tiny sensors — packed as densely (密集地) as 10,000 per square centimeter — let the hand feel textures, pressure, and any tiny movement of the object it's holding. Crucially, these sensors are built right into the hand's structure, so they don't make the hand stiff or clumsy. A smart computer program uses this constant touch feedback to instantly decide the best way to grip different objects, just like our brains tell our hands what to do.

Beyond its amazing ability to mimic human touch, the F-TAC Hand also brings practical solutions to real-world problems in robotics. It's inspired by how our own hands and nerves work. The F-TAC Hand isn't just cool science; it has real uses. It could lead to much better prosthetic limbs, help robots perform delicate surgery, work safely in dangerous places like nuclear plants, or handle complex jobs in factories.

Made possible partly by China's powerful "Peng Cheng Cloud Brain Ⅱ", this "hand of touch intelligence" is a big step forward for China in robotics and AI. Experts believe it brings us closer to robots that can truly understand and interact with the physical world around them. The future of robots just got a lot more skillful!

AI is being used to streamline the planning and execution (执行) of cultural festivals. For instance, predictive analytics (预测分析), a branch of AI, can analyze past data to predict visitor turnout (到场人数), enabling organizers to plan more effectively. AI can also help in creating personalized experience for attendees. By analyzing data from social media and other sources, AI can provide insights into what attendees might enjoy, allowing for the customization of events for different interests.

Furthermore, AI is proving instrumental in preserving cultural festivals for future generations. High-definition cameras equipped with AI technology are being used to record festivals in exceptional detail. These digital records can then be stored and accessed easily, ensuring that the essence of these events is not lost over time. In addition, AI is being used to create virtual reality experiences of cultural festivals, allowing people who cannot physically attend to experience them virtually.

AI's role in cultural festivals is not just limited to organization and preservation. It is also being used to enrich the artistic aspects of these events. For example, AI is being used to create music and art installations (装置) that respond to the audience's movements and reactions, creating a dynamic and interactive experience.

However, the use of AI in cultural festivals is not without its challenges. There are concerns about the potential loss of human touch, as well as issues related to data privacy. It is crucial that we apply the power of AI and also ensure that it is used responsibly.

This summer, the quiet community in Bethesda, Maryland, became a place of warm holiday cheer. The summer sun usually brings hot days, but the Christmas decorations made the neighborhood feel full of love, just for Kasey.

Kasey's fight against cancer started when she was only 5. She was diagnosed with medulloblastoma (髓母细胞瘤), a very serious type of brain cancer. For four years, she went through tough treatments: many rounds of chemotherapy that made her sick and tired, radiation that left her weak, and endless trips to the hospital. Even with all this, Kasey tried to stay strong. But in June 2025, her parents got heartbreaking news. Doctors told them Kasey's cancer had gotten much worse, and she might only have a few weeks left to be with her family. She could no longer play like before, often felt tired, and sometimes couldn't even keep her favorite snacks down — her body was getting weaker day by day.

Kasey's family wanted to make her remaining time happy and full of good memories. They thought hard and decided to turn June 28 — the day they got the sad diagnosis — into "Christmas for Kasey." Kasey has always loved Christmas more than any other holiday. She watches the movie Home Alone every month, sings Christmas carols while sitting on the couch, and her favorite song is Gwen Stefani's "You Make It Feel Like Christmas," which she hums even when she's not feeling well.

Knowing how hard it might be, Kasey's parents sent an email to a few neighbors. They asked if everyone could put up Christmas lights, writing: "This week will be incredibly hot and not the best climate for putting up lights, but we're not sure how much time we have with Kasey." They worried no one would agree, but they hoped for a little joy to bring to their sick daughter.

Expertly flipping over the chicken steak in the hot pot, 48-year-old street vendor Li Junyong, who has been nicknamed "chicken steak brother", (shoot) to fame recently and become a signature attraction in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province.

His humorous (interaction) with tourists, such as, "You can refuse me, not my chicken steak" and, "You deserve everything beautiful in the world, including my chicken steak", turned the city into a trending destination over the Mid-Autumn and National Day holiday. The popularity of Li and his street stand has helped boost the growth of tourism in Jingdezhen, ceramic and porcelain production has long been famous. Figures from Douyin showed that bookings related to Jingdezhen had surged nearly 70 percent on the platform in first three days of the eight-day National Holiday.

It's not the first time that small cities have become an instant hit during public holidays, such as Zibo in Shandong province, which (go) viral among tourists because of the city's delicious barbecue in 2023, as more travelers have shown an increasing interest in exploring unique destinations.

"China's domestic tourism market is in diversified development, with both metropolises (大都市) and small cities or counties (boom) during public holidays," said Wei Changren, founder of btiii.com. The instant online hit will (absolute) promote the growth of the local tourism market, while it's necessary for the local authorities (seize) the opportunity to improve their tourism products and services to turn the short-lived traffic into (sustain) tourism growth.

One of the passengers was a small gray man who walked with a stoop (驼背) and a sad look when he2 the bus and sat alone behind the driver with some difficulty. No one ever paid very much3 to him.

Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled through the bus. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were still4.

The next day, he got on the bus5 and said in a loud voice, "A very good morning to you all!" Some of us6, amazed, and murmured "Good morning" in reply.

In the following weeks, we were more7. He was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie. The thin hair had been carefully8 . He said good morning every day and we gradually began to9 and talk.

One morning he had wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around10, "Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?" He nodded shyly. The other passengers whistled and congratulated him.

Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower. Some of the regular11 began bringing him flowers. The men started to12 with each other and share the newspaper.

The summer went by and then autumn was closing in when one morning Charlie wasn't13 at his usual stop. When he wasn't there the next day, we wondered if he was sick. A few weeks later, we were told he had14. The bus settled back into silence, but we sat with tears and15 in our hands.

Read aloud for rhythm and sound

Read the poem aloud slowly. Notice the rhythm, rhymes, or repeating sounds. For example, Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven uses a tense beat, while Langston Hughes' Dreams has a gentle flow. Do they sound cheerful, sad, or urgent? The "music" of a poem often mirrors its mood.

Understanding a poem's historical, cultural, or biographical context enriches interpretation. It will help you a lot to find out when the poem was written or what the poet's life was like. But don't stress — even a quick Google search can add meaning.

Accept confusion

Poems don't always have one right explanation. Maybe Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 is both a love poem and a joke about clichés (陈词滥调). Discuss with classmates — different views make poems more interesting! Let uncertainty spark curiosity.

Connect the poem to your life

Let your emotions guide your understanding. If a line reminds you of a personal experience, write down your thoughts or share them with a friend. Poetry isn't just about analysis — it's about feeling and imagination.

Appreciating poetry is both an art and a practice — requiring attention to form, context, and personal reflection. As Eliot wrote, poetry "communicates before it is understood", inviting us to return, rethink, and rediscover its magic endlessly.

A. Poems are meant to be heard.

B. Learn the background of the poem.

C. Compare poems by different authors.

D. Poetry is alive when it speaks to you.

E. Practice memorizing your favorite lines.

F. If a line feels puzzling, write down your guesses.

G. Grab a poem, read it aloud, and let yourself enjoy the magic of it.

However, a broader view reveals persistent challenges for both genders. In higher education, a significant gap exists: in the 2022-2023 academic year, there were three women for every two men enrolled (入学) in UK universities. Boys are also more than twice as likely to be excluded from school. Subject choices remain divided, with female students outnumbering males in medicine and law, while the opposite is true in physics, maths, engineering, and computing — a division often attributed to persistent stereotyping.

Beyond the classroom, the situation becomes more complicated. Although younger women's earnings may match or even surpass their male peers', the "motherhood penalty" — where women's incomes decrease more than men's upon becoming parents — is worsening. A recent analysis showed mothers earned 24% less per hour than fathers in 2023. This contributes to a pensions (养老金) gap that disadvantages women in old age. Meanwhile, pay progression in many female-dominated sectors like social care remains poor. A recent Women in Work index reported a "sluggish" pace of change on the gender pay gap, with the UK slipping behind other countries. Pay progression in many female-dominated sectors, including early years and social care, remains poor.

It's important to maintain perspective: gender isn't the greatest determinant of academic success. Socioeconomic factors create larger attainment gaps. Still, both genders face specific challenges that deserve attention. There's a strong case for advocating girls' access to qualifications in the crucial, male-dominated digital technology sector. Simultaneously, evidence that fewer boys are school-ready at age four, and their lower university participation rates — potentially linked to tuition fees and attitudes to debt — must be taken seriously. The contrasting yet shared difficulties of both boys and girls deserve a balanced approach.

Esports, much like traditional sports, can teach young people many important life skills. In 2021, esports was added to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award (DofE) for precisely this reason. The DofE is a programme for young people, which includes volunteering and outdoor expeditions. Esports was added to the skills section after organisers found that video gaming can help improve strategic thinking and teamwork. "Esports is one of the fastest-growing activities in the UK and it helps young people develop essential skills," said Ruth Marvel, head of DofE.

Another benefit of esports is its inclusivity. Boys and girls aren't separated, and it's open to all ages and physical abilities, including those with disabilities. "Not everyone can participate in physical sport, but everyone can participate in esports," says Camilla Maurice from MidKent College, which offers a course in esports. By joining a school esports team, young people can make new friends and turn gaming into a more social experience.

A study in January 2021 found that around 80% of young people in the UK aged between 12 and 15 were playing online games like Fortnite and Minecraft. If young people are already playing these games, then why not make them a part of school? Not only would this teach them more about esports, but it could also have a positive knock-on effect on other subjects. Students who are passionate about playing video games can become interested in how these games are made.

It was not, as she puts it, the straightest of career paths. As an eight-year-old, Anita was invited to study alongside a master's group. "It wouldn't be allowed these days," she says. Her mother, supportive, bought her oil paints; her father, less so, frequently destroyed her work. Later, Anita swapped paints for fast money. "It gave me a very nice lifestyle financially," she says, "but it was soul-destroying."

Anita set aside her art to run a recruitment business in the growing internet sector, but she didn't remember being happy throughout those years. When the dot-com bubble burst, many of her clients were hit hard. Despite covering expenses with her own savings, her business ultimately sank.

Today, she is known for her vast, immersive canvases of meadows, wild grasses and blossoms — paintings that ask you to stop, breathe and look. "I want the viewer to see what I see. That the smallest thing in nature has so much beauty and wonder." She paints big because she wants you to feel enveloped, caught in the flicker of a slight breeze.

Art, for Anita, is a celebration of nature. "Walking through the greenery is my meditation," she says. "These days we call it mindfulness, but for me it's just immersing myself in wonder." Viewers seem to agree. One woman in a wheelchair once sat with Anita's work for three hours, later confessing it was the first time in 20 years she had felt no pain. That, for Anita, is the point. "I can't teach you how to paint," she shrugs. "I can only teach you how to look." And her latest series, See Me I Bloom carries that lesson into womanhood itself: "It's about women truly valuing themselves — their strength, their wisdom, their determination. We create and nurture life — what could be more important?"
