2、It was such a privilege for me to get a parcel with some jam and a thank-you mail from Sean. Sean was my secondary school student, who kept a1 relationship with me.
Last month, I paid a2 visit to him. It took me an hour to walk to his home. Upon arrival, I was3 by a chorus of "good morning" from his families.

3、What is adulthood? Societies all over the world view the concept of an adult as self-supporting and self-directed, because it identifies a point in the life cycle.
As Alice Black points out, today's parents' fear of letting kids do more housework has added to their inability to feel competent and, thus, confident in themselves. Psychologist Robert Turner wrote about this in his book, The Life Cycle, mentioning a stage when kids learn self-direction and mastery.
But Turner's other cycles are just as important. If these life cycles are delayed, interrupted, or denied, you feel incapable of accessing your states of self, controlling unpleasant feelings, and manipulating (操控) the energy that puts together the fabric of your inner world.
Turner wisely said that "doing well" psychologically is being able to roll with the flow of emotions, manage them, communicate clearly and well with others, and master various skills. This requires an internal locus (核心) of control, which implies self-control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. You're self-directed and not reliant on the world to tell you who you are. And you know who you are within all this.
So, being an adult isn't just holding a job. Being an adult is about having a rooted sense of self while being capable of identifying and managing your emotions and actions. We are a social species, so this is important.
While raising an adult is a parent's job, it's also our responsibility as a society to ensure that we support schools that nurture (培养) emotional and identity development.
A. It's also our job to support adults who need help repairing incomplete life cycles.
B. They talk about someone's inability to support themselves through work.
C. It's being able to show understanding when communicating with others.
D. In other words, you're playing the game of life — life isn't playing you.
E. They teach emotional awareness and management as well as identity.
F. You feel like an 18-year old, especially when playing 80s music.
G. When this stage is denied it creates a sense of insecurity.

4、Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase "there are children starving in Africa" was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time.
Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we're already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away.
For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village's Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver's vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste.
A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion.
It should be noted that none of the items on wastED's menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine.
Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything.
(1)、What can be inferred about the author's early life?A、He witnessed food shortage. B、He enjoyed the local cuisine. C、He donated food to Africans. D、He helped to cook at home.(2)、Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment?A、To customize dishes for guests. B、To make the public aware of food waste. C、To test a food processing method. D、To improve the UK's zero-waste systems.(3)、What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A、Why the ingredients were used. B、Which dishes were best liked. C、What the dishes were made of. D、Where the ingredients were bought.(4)、What can we learn about wastED?A、It has ended as planned. B、It is creating new jobs. C、It has regained popularity. D、It is criticized by top chefs. -
5、Since COVID-19 first appeared in 2020, Shanghai has held over 180 press conferences to inform the public of the latest situation. Have you ever watched them on TV?
If you have, then you've probably noticed that there is always a busy but silent man or woman on the right side of the screen. These people are sign language interpreters.Thanks to the team of seven, people with hearing loss can receive timely and accurate pandemic information.
The job is not easy. It's a real test of one's knowledge. During one press conference, Dr. Zhang Wenhong used a few medical terms. They were hard for ordinary people to understand. But Tang Wenyan, one of the interpreters, managed to communicate their meanings to people who cannot hear. "For cycle threshold, for example, I interpreted it as an important value," she said. We need to make our interpretations as easy to understand as possible.
Tang has had 16 years of experience in sign language interpretation. The woman picked up sign language out of curiosity. Later, after discovering a serious shortage of sign language interpreters, she decided to build a career out of it. Tang admits that her job is tiring. However, she really wants to do her bit to make her city a better place. Behind the hard work, she says, is the wish to help people who cannot hear to overcome the difficulties they meet with in their lives.
Such efforts seem to be paying off. Tang and her colleagues have won lots of praise from the deaf community. More importantly, many people have become interested in sign language after watching their interpretations.
Perhaps one day you, too, can join the interpreters to become a "bridge" between the deaf community and the rest of society.
(1)、What do sign language interpreters do?A、Give talks on TV. B、Create hard medical terms. C、Hold press conferences. D、Communicate with the deaf.(2)、Why did Tang Wenyan decide to become a sign language interpreter?A、She wished to gain reputation. B、She found it was in great need. C、She developed an interest in it. D、She had a gift for interpretation.(3)、What does Tang Wenyan think of her job?A、Tiring but important. B、Busy but interesting C、Boring but well-paid. D、Easy but meaningful.(4)、What's the passage mainly about?A、A Special job. B、A TV programme. C、A worthy person. D、A deaf community. -
6、Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford (LPCH). "Sometimes I don't like saying that I'm a teacher," says Ho. "People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that's not really what it is here."
"Here" is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It's a place of learning. About half of Ho's students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho's students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care.
Still, in room 386, academics don't come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. "If you're scared about something and thinking only about that, there's no way you're going to be able to learn," Ho says. "I'm a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that's what it means to be a hospital teacher."
There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho's class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don't give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. "I feel like it is a disservice to the kids," Ho says. "They think their teachers don't care about their schoolwork."
Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. "I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems," says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. "It's about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow."
(1)、Who does Ho teach at LPCH?A、Sick children. B、Young nurses. C、Medical students. D、Patients' parents.(2)、What is a characteristic of Ho's job?A、Prioritizing academics. B、Encouraging innovation. C、Treating various diseases. D、Playing multiple roles.(3)、What does the underlined word "it" refer to in paragraph 4?A、Offering regular lessons. B、Paying extra attention. C、Assigning no schoolwork. D、Showing no sympathy.(4)、How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good?A、It eases peer pressure. B、It helps them live in hope. C、It frees them from aches. D、It entertains them with stories. -
7、English Market Towns to Visit in the UK
English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop.
Hereford, Herefordshire
Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you'll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It's also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there.
Ludlow, Shropshire
Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a "must explore" medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September.
Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere-hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters-just what you imagine in an attractive English market town.
Mevagissey, Cornwall
Even if you haven't been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you've probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don't leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It's delicious.

8、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。
Teresa and I had been good friends for many years. We had a lot of the same interests and could stay up all night chatting on the phone, laughing until our sides hurt. We were so close that we could read each other's minds and finish each other's sentences. That all changed when we had a huge disagreement and parted ways. Soon we graduated from high school and wholly lost touch with each other.
There wasn't a day that passed when I didn't think of her or miss her. I often thought of reaching out to her to fix our friendship. But then I would think, "if she cared, why hasn't she gotten in touch with me?" One other trait that we shared was stubbornness.
Teresa's birthday would be a month later, which prompted me to look for her on social media. She had a common name, but I eventually found her photo, her brilliant smiling brown eyes. More photos showed she liked to travel and had a baby boy. The past ten years had been good to her.
I felt a strong urge to send her a Facebook message and expressed how much I'd missed her throughout the years and what she meant to me. I even mentioned a few silly memories we had had together. I ended the message by asking her if she would like to meet one day, and I wished her a happy birthday. Anxiously I waited for her reply. To my great joy, she finally reached out and said that she missed me as well! Eagerly we arranged to have a dinner together this Saturday evening.
I slowly pulled into the parking bay, not sure if this reunion would rekindle our friendship. I took a deep breath and convinced myself, "I've gone this far. There was no turning back." Finally, I shut off the engine.

11、In every family, there eventually comes a time when the tables turn and the child becomes the one calling the shots. For me, this moment1 during a recent stay with my eldest son. A whole week under his2!
"Dad, don't leave the water running when you brush your teeth," Nathaniel3 on our first night. All right, I figured, this is California, where drought is a(n)4. But I was also caught taking extra paper towels to clean the kitchen counter and was5 to use the dishcloth instead.

At first I wondered how I'd7 such a dominator. Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of8 at Nathaniel when he was young. "Someday, you'll have your own home and can live however you want," I'd say. Now it was9 time.
So I10 followed Nathaniel's household rules. He cleaned dishes after dinner and willingly drove everywhere,11 me the trouble of Los Angeles traffic.

12、The weather forecast calls for a slight chance of thunderstorms, but you can only see a few white clouds overhead. You spend a few minutes warming up and then wait. Is that thunder you hear? Is that a lightning flash?
What do you do? Keep playing until the thunder and lightning get close? Or get in your car and drive home? Correct answer: If no substantial, non-concrete shelter is nearby, get in your car and wait out the storm. Why?
Although the odds of being struck by lightning are less than 1 in a million, some factors can put you at greater risk. Lightning most often strikes people who work outside or engage in outdoor recreational activities. Florida is considered the "lightning capital" of the country, with more than 2,000 lightning injuries over the past 50 years. From 2009 to 2018, lightning caused an average of 27 deaths per year in the United States.
● If the weather forecast calls for thunderstorms, postpone your trip or activity.
●When thunder rolls, go indoors. Find a safe shelter, such as homes, offices, shopping centers, and hard-top vehicles with the windows rolled up.
● After you see lightning, start counting to 30. If you hear thunder before you reach 30, go indoors. Suspend activities for at least 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder.
A. Don't forget the 30-30 rule.
B. Avoid using electronic equipment of all types.
C. So you and your tennis partner head for the tennis court.
D. Here are some tips to reduce your risk of being struck by lightning.
E. Regional differences can also affect your risk of being injured by lightning
F. Perform the following actions if you are accidentally caught in an open area.
G. Because being outside when lightning is present is not something to take lightly.

13、Writing and editing working messages with tools like ChatGPT or Gemini has become a commonplace practice. While generative AI tools are seen to make writing easier, are they effective for communicating between managers and employees?
"We see a tension between perceptions of message quality and perceptions of the sender," said Anthony Coman, a researcher at the University of Florida. "Despite positive impressions of professionalism in AI-assisted writing, managers who use AI for routine communication tasks put their trustworthiness at risk when using medium-to -high-levels of AI assistance." In this study, Coman and his co-author, Peter Cardon, surveyed professionals about how they viewed emails that they were told were written with low, medium and high AI assistance. Survey participants were asked to evaluate different AI-written versions of a congratulatory message on both their perception of the message content and their perception of the sender.
While AI-assisted writing was generally seen as efficient, effective, and professional, the impact on trust was substantial: Only 40% to 52% of employees viewed supervisors as sincere when they used high levels of AI, compared to 83% for low-assistance messages. Similarly, while 95% found low-AI supervisor messages professional, this dropped to 69%-73% when supervisors relied heavily on AI tools.
The findings reveal employees can often detect AI-generated content and interpret its use as lack of caring. When supervisors rely heavily on AI for messages like team congratulations, employees perceive them as less sincere and question their leadership abilities. "In some cases, AI-assisted writing can undermine perceptions of traits linked to a supervisor's trustworthiness," Coman noted.
The study suggests managers should carefully consider message types, level of AI assistance and relational context before using AI in their writing. While AI may be appropriately received for informational or routine communications, like meeting reminders, relationship-oriented messages requiring empathy, praise or personal feedback are better handled with minimal technological intervention.
(1)、What is the focus of Coman's research?A、The technical complexity of generative AI tools. B、The AI-written message quality and credibility conflict. C、The controversy over AI's role in employee motivation. D、The rapid decline of human writing skills in workplaces.(2)、Why do employees distrust the high-AI messages?A、The messages tend to be less informative. B、Employees feel AI lacks emotional intelligence. C、There are uncontrollable technical errors in the messages. D、Employees spot supervisors' inattention from the messages.(3)、What practical guideline does the research suggest?A、Prohibit AI in all working communications. B、Match AI usage to message types and context. C、Prioritize AI for relationship-oriented messages. D、Train employees to accept AI-generated content.(4)、What is the author's attitude toward AI-assisted writing in the workplace?A、Cautious. B、Suspicious. C、Opposed. D、Approving. -
14、You stayed up too late browsing through your phone, answering emails or watching just one more episode. The next morning, you feel sleepy and impatient. That dessert or sandwich suddenly looks more appealing than your usual yogurt and berries. This isn't just about willpower. Your brain, short on rest, is pushing you toward quick, high-calorie fixes.
Research shows that insufficient sleep disturbs hunger signals, weakens self-control and increases your risk of weight gain. Sleep inadequacy affects millions. More than one-third of U.S. adults regularly get less than seven hours of sleep per night. Nearly three-quarters of adolescents fall short of the recommended 8-10 hours sleep during the school week. First responders, including nurses, firefighters and emergency workers, are especially vulnerable due to night shifts and varying uncontrollable schedules. These patterns disturb the body's internal clock and are linked to increased appetite, poor eating habits and elevated risks for obesity and metabolic disease.
Studies show that after just one night of sleep deprivation (匮乏), reward-related areas such as the amygdala, a part of the brain that drives motivation and reward-seeking, become more reactive to inviting food. Your brain becomes more excited by junk food and less capable of resisting it. Participants in sleep deprivation studies not only rated high-calorie foods as more desirable but were also more likely to choose them, regardless of how hungry they actually felt.
Sleep is as important as diet and exercise in maintaining a healthy weight. Fortunately, even a few nights of consistent, high-quality sleep can help rebalance key systems and start to reverse some of these effects. In a culture that glorifies hustle and late nights, sleep is often treated as optional. So the next time you find yourself reaching for junk food after a short night, recognize that your biology is reacting to stress. Sleep is your most powerful tool for appetite control, energy regulation and long-term health.
(1)、What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?A、High-calorie foods are more attractive. B、Staying up late can make people dizzy. C、Sleep loss stimulates the brain for appetite. D、People are addicted to using mobile phones.(2)、Why are first responders more likely to suffer from sleep deprivation?A、They have unhealthy lifestyles. B、They bear expectation of the society. C、They have demanding and shifting schedules. D、They have much pressure from the workload.(3)、Why is the brain more likely to shift into the reward mode after sleep insufficiency?A、The brain becomes more excited and unrealistic. B、Sleep loss changes how the brain evaluates food. C、The brain reacts more quickly to the environment. D、Sleep loss changes how the body absorbs nutrients.(4)、What does the author advocate in the last paragraph?A、Getting enough sleep. B、Putting down the electronics. C、Staying away from junk food. D、Controlling our weight. -
15、In 2017, when making a video over Shitizhai, a village located on the eastern side of the Gaoligong Mountains, Wang Dayong saw the once-barren mountain is now abundant in rows of carefully planted coffee trees together with towering native species.
Yunnan's high-altitude regions, along with its unique climate conditions, proved to be perfect for cultivating coffee. The mountains rise like a wall, blocking the moist air currents. This natural barrier gives rise to an extraordinary microclimate, which is marked by dramatic temperature differences between day and night, making it ideal for growing coffee.
Wang came to this mountainous area a few years ago for a business trip and engaged with the locals. That's how he learned about the once-splendid coffee history of the area. Afterwards, he became motivated to make a documentary in 2017, tracing China's coffee history and highlighting the unique Yunnan coffee and its reputation as "black gold" in the global market.
As he explored further, it pained him to see how the mountainside had suffered from excessive farming. In the race for profits, short-sighted farmers began tightly planting coffee plants together and increased the density from just 60 trees per tenth of a hectare to more than 330, resulting in poor quality of coffee beans. When the coffee market slumped, many locals cut down their decades-old coffee trees to make room for fruits and vegetables to survive.
Fortunately, Wang's documentary caught the attention of local authorities. Moreover, he hosted a harvest festival, where he invited all the local growers to taste the coffee they'd planted. As a result, the sale of these beans quickly became a primary source of income for many in the village. Wu Hua, a cultural new economy professor at Shanghai University said, "A coffee industry that fell into decline is now regaining its strength." Wu considered the work done by Wang as a new vision for rural revitalization.
(1)、What makes the village an ideal place for coffee cultivation?A、Its unique and rich soil. B、Its abundant and brilliant sunshine. C、Its geographical and climatic advantage. D、Its dramatically and extremely low temperature.(2)、What inspired Wang to make a documentary?A、Making good friends with the locals. B、Intending to promote the coffee sale. C、Being attracted by the charm of coffee. D、Learning about the glorious coffee history.(3)、What does the underlined word "slumped" in paragraph 4 mean?A、Collapsed. B、Expanded. C、Stabilized. D、Thrived.(4)、What can be a suitable title for the text?A、Love for coffee revives a mountain B、Eagerness for profit destroys the market C、Hunger for money helps the youth succeed D、Enthusiasm for hometown urbanizes the village -

That Saturday, after an early morning cup of coffee with Mama, Leonard, our grown brother, picked up his heavy tools and headed out for the old henhouse. Mama wanted him to tear it down for she was scared of me and Angie to play near it.
I was twelve and dogged Leonard's every step. Angie, our six-year-old sister, insisted she wanted to help, too. Mama told we would be in the way, but Leonard said, "Oh, they'll be all right." "Well, alright, but you girls watch out for rusty (生锈的) nails." Leonard worked hard to pry (撬) the stubborn, gray boards. Angie and I carried the boards to a pile he would later burn.
Suddenly, Angie started to scream and Mama came running. Sure enough, she had stepped on a rusty nail. Mama examined my sister's foot while Leonard looked at mine. On my way to see about Angie, I'd stepped on a nail, too. The grownups agreed we needed tetanus (破伤风) shots.
I hated shots. I would rather swallow a thousand pills for a thousand days than have one shot. While Leonard drove us to hospital, Mama cupped a hand around my ear. "Arlene, I need you to be brave so Angie won't be too scared. You know how she can put up a fight." Determined to be a brave girl, I didn't cry a single tear though my arm felt like it was on fire.
Then Mama lowered Angie onto the table to get the shot. That's when she made her big mistake. "Arlene, tell Angie it didn't hurt at all."
Her huge blue eyes stared into mine. I thought about how Angie trusted me the way I trusted Leonard. "If I tell her it won't hurt", I thought, "she won't ever believe me again." I knew what I had to do. I cupped my hands around my mouth and yelled, "DON'T LET THEM DO IT TO YOU, ANGIE!"
