I discvered beauty cntent n YuTube in 2014, and shpping quickly became my hbby. I went frm wning a single makeup bag t mre than 200 lipsticks(口红) within a year. In Nvember 2019, I hit rck bttm after spending $3,000 ver Black Friday, feeling ashamed f myself. I knew I had a prblem.
That December, I clicked n a n-buy vide n YuTube, where creatrs shared their experiences and tips. A year withut shpping felt impssible-but the mre I watched, the mre I wndered: if I didn’t want t stp, was that a sign I shuld?
On January 1, 2020, I started a year-lng n-buy challenge with three rules: spend nly n essentials like fd and bills; replace beauty r fashin items nly when they run ut; and wait five days befre buying any replacement.
The first few weeks felt manageable-I was mtivated t change. But sn my wants and needs blurred (变得模糊不清). Fr example, I wuld run ut f a skincare item and cnvince myself I needed a new ne, despite having plenty f thers. Fr the rest f the year, I tried t justify purchases that fit in the grey area between my wants and my needs.
My wrk wasn’t ver when my n-buy year ended. I set a gal t develp a healthy relatinship with mney when I finally realized that I shpped t deal with stress. I started t explre healthier strategies like jurnaling, walking, and reading t manage tugh emtins. I simplified my skincare rutine, fcused n essential prducts, and shifted frm cllecting t using. In 2023, I spent nly $200 n makeup, which was a majr imprvement cmpared t my previus $1,000 annual spending.
N-buy challenges are nw a regular part f my life. Tday, I’ve built savings and set financial gals. I still like shpping, but I d it mre respnsibly.

This year, we set ut t revisit the cnnectin with petry in all its frms t explre the imprtant rle petry can play in the lives f children and yung peple.
A ttal f 4,372 students aged frm 8 t 16 in England participated in ur nline survey in 2024. The main fcuses were emtinal and behaviural aspects f reading, watching, listening t, writing, and perfrming petry-including thrugh print, perfrmance, and scial media. The survey als explred hw petry might supprt mental well-being r help express cncerns abut scial issues.
Almst half the students (48.8%) said they engaged with petry during their free time — a slight increase frm 46.1% in 2018. Students participated in petry in varius ways: abut a quarter (24.1%) read, listened t, r watched it; 13.0% wrte r perfrmed petry; and 11.7% bth experienced and created petry. Amng students wh experienced petry thrugh media, reading was the mst ppular activity, with 71.3% chsing t read pems. In cmparisn, 37.3% listened t petry, and 22.1% watched perfrmances. Many students said they turned t petry fr self-imprvement, intrspectin (内省) and scial issue explratin. Amng students wh created petry, writing was mre cmmn than perfrming.

A reprt frm the UN reveals that drylands, including vast areas f desert, cver 41.3% f Earth’s ttal land area. What if large amunts f this land culd be transfrmed int fertile (肥沃的) grund capable f prducing crps?
In 2016, researchers frm China’s Chngqing Jiatng University develped a nvel technlgy that can greatly imprve the ability f desert sands t hld water, air and minerals essential fr plant grwth. It was applied t a sandy 1.6-hectare (公顷) plt in the Ulan Buh Desert, in the Inner Mnglian Autnmus Regin. Over time, the plt was transfrmed int crpland capable f prducing tmates, rice, watermeln, sunflwers, and crn.
Prfessr Yang Qinggu f Chngqing Jiatng University explained that “The csts f artificial materials and machines fr transfrming sand int the sil is lwer cmpared with cntrlled envirnmental agriculture and reclamatin (开垦).”
The research wrk at Chngqing Jiatng University is nt the first Chinese attempt t turn deserts int fertile land. As early as 1978, China launched the Three-Nrth Shelter Frest Prgram, als knwn as the Great Green Wall. The gal f this prgram is t stp the expansin f the vast Gbi Desert and launch refrestatin (植树造林) prjects in the nrtheast, nrth, and nrthwest regins. It is a lng-term initiative, scheduled fr cmpletin in 2050.
In the past several decades, mre than 7.88 millin hectares f windbreak trees have been planted, 336,200 square kilmeters f desert land have been reclaimed, and mre than 10millin hectares f grasslands have been prtected r restred. At the same time, in the Less Gateau, grass and frest cverage has been increased by arund 60%, and the silt (淤泥) build-up in the Yellw River has been reduced significantly.
Beynd the Great Green Wall, China has taken ther measures t stp the spread f deserts. Desert greening is a challenging task, but the experiments cnducted in China and ther parts f the wrld t implement desert refrestatin have raised hpes fr a healthy and resurceful future ahead.
12．What d we knw abut the applicatin f the new technlgy in the Ulan Buh Desert?
A．It prduced as much as fertile sils did.
B．It shwed the benefits f rganic fertilizers.
C．It prved sandy land culd supprt diverse crps.
D．It resulted in the plt becming a turist attractin.
13．What is the advantage f creating sil frm sand accrding t Prfessr Yang?
A．It is lwer in cst.
B．It is mre ec-friendly.
C．It prduces fast-grwing crps.
D．It simplifies the farming prcess.

B．The imprtance f grassland prtectin.
C．The plan fr refrestatin prjects in China.
D．The refrestatin effrts alng the Yellw River.
15．What is the authr’s tne in the text?
A．Anxius.B．Hpeful.C．Humrus.D．Emtinal.

Je lived in a tiny cabin (小屋) — barely bigger than a child’s playhuse. Mst f the neighbrhd children were afraid f him. Whenever he stepped ut f his cabin, we autmatically kept ur distance. Je’s car, which he parked just beynd the fence, std ut in ur small, unremarkable twn. It shne with care and attentin, and he treated it with almst ceremnial respect — wiping the dr handle with a handkerchief each time he lcked it. Thugh I ften played in the nearby field, I always made an effrt t stay away frm the car.
One afternn, while riding my bicycle, I hit a mud puddle (水坑) near Je’s car. In my attempt t avid splattering (溅) mud nt his car, I lst cntrl and crashed. My bike’s handlebars slid dwn the side f the vehicle. I frze in panic, staring at the damage, heart punding.
Je appeared almst instantly; his expressin unreadable. He examined the lng scratch (划痕) n the car’s surface, then turned t me and asked, “Are yu hurt?” I was hurt — a deep scratch ran dwn my leg frm the rusty (生锈的) pedal. But I said, “I’m kay. I’m really srry. I tried nt t hit yur car. I really did. “
“First things first, little girl,” Je said firmly. He tk hld f the back f my T-shirt and guided me int his cabin. My heart raced s fast that I paid n attentin t my pain. “Sit here,” Je said. Then he went int anther rm.
Mments later, Je returned with a dishpan f warm water, a twel, antiseptic, and bandages. He silently and carefully cleaned and dressed my wunds. Then he lked me in the eye-nt with anger, but with quiet cncern — and spke. “Yu need t be mre careful. Take care f yur bdy. Be mre aware f yur surrundings.”
Ashamed and clse t tears, I ffered t wrk t repay him fr the damage. Je shk his head. “Accidents happen,” he said. “Maybe tmrrw I’ll think f smething yu can d.”

46．Dear fellw students, tday I’d like t talk abut weight management.
Weight management matters as it directly affects ur physical health and cnfidence. An ptimal weight reduces the risk f diseases like diabetes and bsts energy fr daily activities. Mrever, it helps us stay mentally psitive abut ur bdy image.
Here are my suggestins. First, maintain a balanced diet with mre veggies and whle grains, aviding high - sugar snacks. Secnd, exercise regularly—30 - minute wrkuts like jgging r swimming three times a week wrk well. Lastly, stay cnsistent: small, sustainable habits ver time are mre effective than quick fixes. Let’s priritize ur health tgether!
47．One pssible versin:
The next mrning, determined t make up fr the damage, I went back t Je’s cabin. Je examined my bike t ensure it hadn’t been damaged. Then, frm the trunk f his shiny car, he pulled ut a brand-new basket and attached it t the handle bars. “Yu’ll be ding my grcery runs fr the next mnth,” he said simply. I agreed immediately, eager t prve I was trustwrthy. Frm then n, I became his regular helper. I ran errands, swept his yard, and watered the plants in his yard.
Over that mnth, an unexpected friendship began t grw between Je and me. He shared stries abut his yuth — hw he used t drive crss-cuntry, and why keeping his car sptless mattered t him, Slwly, I came t see that Je wasn’t frightening at all. He was simply quiet, and perhaps lnely. While the ther kids cntinued t whisper abut “the strange ld man”, I saw smething entirely different. His cabin, nce a place I avided, became a quiet wrld filled with warmth, trust, and a friendship that changed the way I saw thers and myself.High schl student
