Last summer, I vlunteered at a small wdwrking studi in the ld part f ur city. It was there that I met Mr. Chen, a 58-year-ld master craftsman whse hands tld stries f decades wrking with wd. While his wrkshp was filled with traditinal tls, what he created was anything but cnventinal wden furniture that perfectly blended classic craftsmanship with cntemprary design. What struck me mst was Mr. Chen’s unique perspective n what he called “new-era craftsmanship.” Thugh he learned wdwrking frm his father as a teenager, he never cnfined himself t ld methds. Recgnizing the changing preferences f yunger custmers, he spent evenings teaching himself 3D mdeling sftware and weekends researching sustainable materials like bamb cmpsites and water-based finishes.
I witnessed his innvative apprach firsthand when a yung cuple asked fr a custm bkshelf fr their small apartment. They needed smething space-efficient, ec-friendly, and easy t tear apart fr ptential mves. Mr. Chen embraced the challenge enthusiastically.
Over the next week, he created multiple digital prttypes, experimented with three different types f wd, and reinvented traditinal techniques t create interlcking jints that required n metal fasteners. I ften fund him wrking late, his experienced hands carefully testing each cmpnent. When I asked why he invested such extrardinary effrt int what seemed like a simple prject, he paused frm his wrk and smiled. “True craftsmanship isn’t abut blindly repeating what ur ancestrs did,” he explained. “It’s abut understanding the essence f traditin while having the curage t adapt it fr tday’s wrld.” T illustrate his pint, he shwed me tw bkshelves—ne he made twenty years ag, beautiful in its slid cnstructin, and the new prttype, which used thirty percent less material while being equally steady and mre functinal fr mdern living.
Thrugh Mr. Chen’s example, I came t understand that new-era craftsmanship represents the perfect marriage f dedicatin and innvatin. It hnrs the past while embracing the future, prving that excellence cmes nt frm ding ne thing frever, but frm ding it well with an ever-evlving spirit.
24. Traditinal tls are mentined in Paragraph1 t _______.
A. stress Mr. Chen’s surce f inspiratin
B. highlight the wisdm f past generatins
C. prmte the spirit f traditinal craftsmanship
D. cntrast with Mr.Chen’s mdern and creative ideas
25. Why des the authr list specific requests frm the yung cuple?
A. T display the shift f traditinal craftsmanship.
B. T reveal the challenges facing tday’s craftsmen.
C. T imply the need fr craftsmen t g with the times.
D. T distinguish mdern appraches frm traditinal nes.
26. What des “true craftsmanship” mean in Mr. Chen’s viewpint?
A. Creating resurce-efficient prducts.
B. Persisting thrugh testing and effrt.
C. Adapting traditin wisdm fr mdern use.
D. Cmbining digital and traditinal techniques.
27. What des Mr. Chen’s stry shw?
A. The best f bth wrlds.B. Tw sides f a cin.
C. If it isn’t brken, dn’t fix it.D. What is new is nt always better.

In 2022, President Biden’s Inflatin Reductin Act (IRA) was designed t speed up the adptin f electric vehicles (EVs). It ffered 7,500 dllars in tax breaks fr new EVs and 4,000 dllars fr used nes, and als invested mney in charging facilities. “This is abut creating a clean energy future and shwing American leadership,” Biden said. Hwever, by July 2025, President Trump changed directin. He canceled thse terms regarding incentives (奖励性优惠) fr cnsumers and punishments fr car cmpanies that didn’t meet emissin standards. “We canceled the ridiculus EV requirements that were limiting American chices,” Trump said, putting cnsumer freedm ahead f gvernment rules.
This sudden plicy change caused chas in the industry. Sales f pure EVs stpped grwing, with Tesla seeing a 10% decline in the first half f 2025. On the ther hand, hybrid (混合的) electric vehicles (HEVs) saw a 40% jump cmpared t the previus year in May 2025, led by Tyta’s practical, nn-plug-in mdels. “Our plan meets custmers’ needs right nw withut sacrificing cnvenience,” explained Jack Hllis, the head f Tyta Nrth America. At the same time, the US lst its edge in glbal cmpetitin as Chinese NEV exprts increased, taking advantage f the weaknesses in American infrastructure and plicy stability.
Fr cnsumers, the plicy rllback made things mre expensive and increased their wrries. EVs became mre cstly withut tax breaks, and there were still few charging statins utside cities. “Why waste hurs lking fr a charger when I can fill up my hybrid in five minutes?” a resident frm the Midwest asked, pinting ut the nging prblem f “range anxiety”. Trust als decreased as plicies kept changing, making buyers reluctant t buy EVs.
The future is still unclear. While sme states cntinue t ffer supprt, the federal gvernment’s withdrawal undermines (削弱) the ability t build a cmpetitive clean transprtatin industry and the prgress in reducing carbn emissins culd be cut in half.
28. Which is true abut Biden’s Inflatin Reductin Act (IRA) in 2022?
A. It was intended t create a new kind f clean energy.
B. It ffered tax breaks t new EVs instead f used nes.
C. It ignred the cnstructin f mre charging facilities.
D. It punished car cmpanies nt meeting emissin standards.
29. What is Trump’s attitude twards Biden’s IRA?
A. Dismissive.B. Objective.C. Favrable.D. Reserved.
30. What can be inferred frm paragraphs 2 and 3?
A. Tyta benefited mst frm the new plicy.
B. Range anxiety had n effect n buyers’ desire.
C. The plicy change weakened the glbal EV market.
D. Plicy instability harmed US’s edge in EV industry.
31. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. A glbal cmpetitin in the EV industry.
B. The impact f American EV plicy shift.
C. The bstacles f clean energy transitin.

Hwever, Fx and I stands apart in its quiet clseness with the fx and fcus n “everyday magic”—unlike the intense, smetimes chatic, vilent jurney in H Is fr Hawk r the hands-n nurturing in Raising Hare, Raven’s stry centers n a gentle, rutine-driven cnnectin that unflds thrugh small, cnsistent mments, ffering a unique reflectin n cmpaninship withut pssessin.

Hw t Avid Over-cnsumptin: Expert Tips t Beat Shpping Traps
Black Friday and hliday sales, nw a glbal phenmenn, are designed t trigger impulsive (冲动的) verspending by taking advantage f human psychlgy. Cnsumer experts warn that these events use methds like urgency and pleasure-driven brain respnses t clud judgment—but simple strategies can help shppers stay in cntrl.
Make a needs-based list and stick t it.
36 Start by drafting a strict list f necessary items, nt wants. Nte their pre-sale prices: many “discunts” raise csts first, s cmparing histrical prices reveals true bargains. Even small, unplanned buys can add up t significant csts ver time. This list acts as a guide, reducing the urge t spend t much n unplanned purchases.
37
When attracted by a nn-list item, stp fr a secnd. Step away frm the screen r take a 10-minute walk in-stre, have a cffee, and let the initial excitement driven by excitement hrmnes (荷尔蒙) fade. 38 Research shws urgency-fueled desires weaken quickly nce tensin eases.
Avid high-pressure sale envirnments.
It’s easy t get trapped in the excitement f limited-time ffers. Sale settings crwded stres, flash-sale pp-ups increase fear f missing ut and scial pressure. If yu struggle with verspending, skip these envirnments entirely. Shpping utside peak sale times remves the hype (炒作) that ruins sensible chices. 39
Check fr regret befre making a purchase.
Remember: impulsive purchases ften lead t regret. Studies shw sale buyers feel mre regret than regular shppers, and repeated verspending can harm lng-term financial well-being. 40 If the answer is “n”, walk away.
By cmbining planning, patience, and self-awareness, shppers can navigate sales seasn wisely—priritizing needs ver impulses while prtecting their wallets.
A. Relax and ignre appealing ffers.
B. Pause and let yurself calm dwn.
C. Aviding sale pages nline als wrks.
D. D yu ften feel regret after verspending?
E. Will I still value this item a few mnths frm nw?
F. This cling-ff perid ften hlds back the impulse t buy.
G. This simple step helps separate genuine needs frm temprary wants.

The midterm grup prject was suppsed t bring ur fur-persn team clser, but it ended up tearing me and Lily apart. We’d been gd friends since freshman year, sharing snacks in class and studying tgether late at night. When ur prfessr assigned the histry research prject, we vlunteered t lead the data cllectin and analysis—tasks we’d split equally befre.​
Everything started smthly until the third week. Lily missed tw grup meetings in a rw, and the wrk she prmised t finish remained untuched. I grew frustrated, assuming she was slacking ff (懈怠). During ur next meeting, I shuted at her in frnt f the ther tw teammates. “Can’t yu take this seriusly? We’re all wrking hard except yu!” Lily’s eyes filled with tears, but she didn’t defend herself—she just ran ut f the classrm.​
The fllwing days were awkward. We avided each ther in hallways, and ur grup prject didn’t make any prgress withut ur crdinatin. My ther teammates tried t mediate, but I was t stubbrn t listen, cnvinced Lily was in the wrng. One evening, as I srted thrugh research materials alne in the library, ur class mnitr Sarah sat beside me. “Yu knw Lily’s mm has been in the hspital, right? She’s been taking care f her after schl and hasn’t slept well fr weeks,” Sarah said gently. “She didn’t want t burden anyne, s she kept it t herself.” She then added, “I wnder whether yur team members can share the burden f lking after her mther.”​
Shck washed ver me. I thught back t hw tired Lily had lked lately, with dark circles under her eyes and her usual bright smile gne. I’d been s fcused n the prject deadline and my wn annyance that I failed t ntice her struggle. Guilt weighed heavily n my chest—I’d judged her withut asking fr the truth, and hurt a friend wh was already ging thrugh a tugh time. Eventually, I decided t make things right.

Pssible versin tw
Dear Students’ Unin,
Frm my perspective, I ppse the full implementatin f spring and autumn hlidays in primary and secndary schls.
These extra vacatins, which split the academic semester int smaller parts, may disrupt learning cntinuity. Students might struggle t stay fcused after breaks, wasting time readjusting t study rhythms. What’s mre, with limited hliday duratin, many families can nly chse hasty trips r spend lazy days at hme, neither f which brings real benefits. Wrse still, it is the shrtened class time that may frce teachers t speed up teaching, leaving students with incmplete understanding f key knwledge.
Fr steady academic prgress, we shuld stick t the existing vacatin system.
Yurs,

M: Hi, my talk tday’s abut an inventin, the mdern car seat belt.
The inventr f the mdern car seat belt was a Swedish man called Nils Bhlin. Bhlin had trained as a mechanical engineer at cllege befre gaining his first emplyment as an aircraft designer. He did well, s was invited t jin a car manufacturing cmpany as a safety engineer.
Bhlin had ften wrked n imprving seats and seat belts fr planes since starting his wrking life in 1942. After jining the car manufacturer in 1958, he spent the fllwing 12 mnths develping his ideas fr cars, and then a car featuring Bhlin’s creatin n bth frnt seats was intrduced, making it the earliest example f a vehicle with mdern seat belts.
Hwever, it tk many years fr them t becme widely accepted. Japan made it a rule that everyne must wear seat belts in their cars acrss the whle cuntry in 1971. A year earlier, tw f the six states in Australia had intrduced similar rules. France was the first Eurpean natin t create seat belt laws several years later. It’s incredible t think that sme investment in research and develpment in the manufacturing industry has had such a huge glbal impact.
