An Indnesian librarian is lending bks t children in exchange fr trash they cllect in a nvel way t clean up the envirnment and get the kids t read mre.
Each weekday, Raden Rr Hendarti, a librarian in Indnesia’s Java Island rides her three-wheeler with bks piled up at the back fr children in Muntang village t exchange fr plastic cups, bags and ther waste that she carries back. As sn as she shws up, little children, many accmpanied by their mthers, surrund her “Trash Library” and ask ludly fr the bks. They are all carrying trash bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the bks fly ut. She’s happy the kids are ging t spend less time n nline games as a result.
“Let us get kids t read mre and build a culture f literacy frm a yung age,” Raden said. “We shuld als take care f ur waste in rder t fight against climate change and t save the earth frm trash,” she said.
She cllects abut 100 kg f waste each week, which is then srted ut by her clleagues and sent fr recycling r sld. She has a stck f 6,000 bks t lend and wants t take the mbile service t neighbring areas as well.
Kevin Alamsyah, an eager 11-year-ld reader, lks fr waste lying in the village. “When there is t much trash, ur envirnment will becme dirty and it’s nt healthy. That’s why I lk fr trash t brrw a bk,” he says.
The literacy rate fr abve-15-year-lds in Indnesia is arund 96 percent, but a September reprt by the Wrld Bank warned that the pandemic will leave mre than 80% f 15-year-lds belw the minimum reading level identified by the Organizatin fr Ecnmic Cperatin and Develpment.

C
Artificial intelligence has persuaded many peple that we need t thrughly change educatin. Nw that chatbts can speedily find and bring back infrmatin and answer cmplex questins, why bther memrizing histrical facts r qutatins? Shuldn’t we instead teach kids t think critically and slve prblems and leave the abve-mentined wrk t cmputers? This perspective suggests we can always “just ggle it” when infrmatin is needed.
Yet this perspective faces strng pushback. Nnagenarian American educatr E.D. Hirsch demlished (驳倒) the argument that we can always just lk things up, stating that while internet access and AI tutrs are amazing and can strengthen knwledge if used reasnably, being able t recall facts remains indispensable.
This cnnects t a deeper cncern abut utsurcing memry. In The Shallws, Nichlas Carr writes that the suggestin we shuld utsurce ur memry t “free up” limited space fr mre creative thinking is based n a miscnceptin. Thanks t its plasticity, the brain’s lng-term memry center can expand, as scientists fund when studying Lndn taxi drivers. Carr warns: “When we start using the Web as a substitute fr persnal memry, bypassing the inner prcesses f cnslidatin (巩固), we risk emptying ur minds f their riches.”
Furthermre, cgnitive limitatins reinfrce this risk. Daisy Christdulu, authr f Seven Myths Abut Educatin, reminds us that ur wrking memries can nly prcess a few new items at a time. S if we encunter t much new vcabulary r infrmatin, we becme verwhelmed, damaging ur ability t learn. Indeed, lking stuff up n Ggle ften results in us nt being able t recall it later.
But we dn’t need t reinvent the wheel: In an era f cnspiracy (阴谋) theries and misinfrmatin, it’s even mre vital that we humans have a firm grasp f basic facts.
8. What is E.D. Hirsch’s pinin n recalling facts in the AI era?
A. It is less imprtant than critical thinking.B. It remains essential despite technlgy.
C. It shuld be replaced by internet access.D. It weakens knwledge retentin verall.
9. Hw des the authr supprt the main argument in the text?
A. Describing persnal chatbt experiences.B. Cmparing ancient vs. mdern educatin.
C. Listing all AI benefits.D. Quting experts.
10. What d Carr and Christdulu imply abut using the internet as a memry tl?
A. It bsts creative thinking capacity.B. It enhances memry cnslidatin.
C. It harms natural brain prcesses.D. It ensures reliable fact recall.
11. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. The future rle f AI tutrs in mdern educatin systems.
B. The enhancement f critical thinking skills thrugh technlgy.
C. The debate n the necessity f memrizatin in the age f AI.
D. The cmplete replacement f traditinal learning with internet tls.

Where d great musicians, great mathematicians and great sprtspeple get their talent? Fr decades nw, we have assumed that mst f them are simply brn with a talent that rdinary peple d nt have. When baseball legend Ted Williams claimed that his achievement had nthing t d with natural ability but were the result f practice, practice, practice, peple assumed that he was merely being mdest. But scientists nw believe that there was a gd deal f truth in what he said.
Thrughut the last century, it was accepted that we inherit （继承） many f ur characteristics frm ur parents via their DNA, that each f us inherits a fixed amunt f intelligence -a fixed IQ, and that mst f us are t be rdinary. But nw it is accepted that ur genes interact with their surrundings, getting turned n and ff all the time. “There are n genetic factrs that can be studied independently f the envirnment,” explains Michael Meaney f McGill University. “And there are n envirnmental factrs that functin independently f ur genes. They wrk alngside each ther.”
Hw des this view f the rle f genes change ur understanding f individual talent and abilities? Des it nw mean that genes dn’t matter, and that we all have the ptential t be like, say, Linel Messi r Lebrn James? Such a claim flies in the face f reasn. The genes we inherit clearly matter, as d genetic differences between individuals. But it is als true that Linel Messi wuld nt have becme the super ftballer he is, nr Lebrn James a basketball superstar, withut putting in thusands f hurs f practice. They culd have turned ut entirely different peple. Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are nt necessarily brn much smarter than thers but genes d cunt,” he writes in his bk Talented Teenagers, “and abve all they usually wrk harder and develp mre self-discipline.”
12. What did Ted Williams think led t his success?
A. His natural talent.B. His full cmmitment.
C. His mdest persnality.D. His extrardinary intelligence.
13. What did we widely believe during the 20 century?
A. Intelligence has little t d with DNA.
B. Our genes interact with ur envirnment.
C. The majrity f us are f average intelligence.
D. Our character is simply decided by inherited DNA.
14. Why des the authr mentin “Linel Messi” and “Lebrn James” in paragraph 3?
A. T clarify a pint.B. T illustrate a rule.
C. T ffer a slutin.D. T make a predictin.
15. Which statement will Kevin Rathunde prbably agree with?
A. Mst f us are brn t be average persns.
B. We culd all be geniuses if wrking hard enugh.
C Genetie factrs are mre imprtant than hard wrk.
D. Great talent is a cmbinatin f genes and practice.

I culdn’t bear it any lnger! My best friend had gne fr lunch with the mst ppular girl in class, leaving me t eat my tuna sandwich alne in the library. Wrse still, during dance class, my partner, a by, refused t hld my hand and bad muthed me behind my back, further feeding my anger. It was, withut a dubt, my wrst day in schl. I was hurt and mad, and lking fr a target t release my anger.
When I gt hme frm schl, Mther had baked peanut butter ckies and piled them up n a plate. She even artfully decrated each ne with ryal icing and tpped it with sugar. ”Culdn’t yu have made chclate chip?“ I said mdily. ”I culd have,“ she replied frm the laundry rm, ”but I made peanut butter nes. Eat them while they’re still ht, sweetie.“ Althugh I thught Mther was rather unthughtful, I caved in and tk a few bites unwillingly in the end. Later, when she pulled a grilled chicken frm the ven and sang a merry tune, I smehw gt annyed again—Never mind that Mther had busied herself the whle afternn with the cking just t put this ht meal n the table. I wanted hamburgers.
”Nbdy even likes that kind f fd, Mum! Why didn’t yu make hamburgers?“ I cmplained. Mther tk a deep breath, ran her fingers thrugh her messy hair and lked int my eyes with a puzzled lk. ”Sweetheart, yu’ve never cmplained abut having it befre. What’s up?“ she said matter-f-factly (平淡地). It was frm there that all went dwnhill. I screamed and cmplained nnstp until Mther hit her limit. It was the first time that Mther had gt mad at me. Nbdy seemed t care abut me, including my belved mther! Ultimately, we had a shuting match in the hallway.

【答案】Para. 1:
Unable t cntain her anger, “N dinner fr yu! G t bed nw!” she explded. It was the first time that Mther had gt mad at me. Nbdy seemed t care abut me, including my belved mther! My teeth were chattering, unable t utter a single wrd, with my hands shaking. I strmed t my bedrm, and slammed the dr behind me. Lying n bed, I finally calmed dwn and my breathing became regular. A sharp pain f fault hit me. The mre I thught abut my actins, the heavier my heart felt. Then, I heard strange sunds cming frm the kitchen. Puzzled, I pened my bedrm dr, tipteing twards the kitchen.
Para. 2:
Then a thick, juicy smell f hamburgers greeted my nse. Sensing my ftsteps, Mther lked up, asking tentatively, “Want sme?” I tk a bite guiltily, shedding regretful tears. “Mm, I’m awfully srry fr being awful t yu tday. I had a bad day at schl. I dn’t deserve this.” I aplgized. “I shuld have guessed yu’re in a tugh spt, srry, hney. I remember thse grwing up years.” Mther smiled and gave me a big bear hug. There was nthing like mther’s uncnditinal lve — that night, I shuld have been punished; instead, Mther dished up a hearty prtin f grace.
