I was eleven the first time I saw Jane. The three f us kids came hme frm schl, and there she was, barely a year ld, wrapped in ur mther’s arms.
It wasn’t unusual t cme hme t strangers in the huse. Our parents hsted an emergency safe huse fr children taken in by scial services. The kids wuld stay with us anywhere frm a week t a few mnths. Usually, we were a shrt-term stp befre they returned t their bilgical parents r gt adpted.
Jane stayed with us fr tw and a half years. N ther child stayed that lng r develped such a strng emtinal bnd with us.
When a childless cuple adpted her, they prmised we wuld stay in her life. They wuld treat us like extended relatives, inviting us ver fr hlidays. We trusted them.
When she left, Jane screamed fr days. She wke in the night, crying fr my father. The adptive parents called us and said this was t hard. And it gt wrse every time we visited.
A few mnths int the adptin, we ate a tense dinner tgether. Jane cried thrugh the meal, then thrugh the gdbyes. And why shuldn’t she? Her family was walking ut f the frnt dr, getting int the car, and leaving withut her.
After that, the parents stpped answering ur calls. They turned cld and distant. Then, ne day, they sent us an email, saying that Jane needed a clean break. N mre visits. N reminders f her past life.
It culdn’t have been an easy decisin. These parents were trying t prtect her frm the pain and cnfusin f the change. But years f attachment dn’t just disappear, n matter hw ld yu are.
Lsing Jane frever changed the way I think abut family. It’s led me t believe that kinship (亲属关系) isn’t just abut claiming each ther, r ’belnging’ t each ther. It’s a web f bth visible and invisible care. It’s a tapestry (绣帷) made by peple wh lean in, lve, and let g.
The ld cliché(老话) says yu dn’t chse yur family. When flks use it, they’re usually talking abut bilgical kin. But when yu’re a child, it’s true whether r nt yu’re talking abut bld relatives.
24. What was the special rle f the authr’s parents?
A. They wrked as full-time scial wrkers.
B. They prvided lng-term adptin services.
C. They ffered a temprary hme fr children.
D. They rganized cmmunity vlunteer events.

A. Jane’s behavir made bth sides uncmfrtable.
B. Jane’s bad md destryed her appetite fr fd.
C. The adptive parents regretted having adpted Jane.
D. The authr’s family refused t take Jane back.
26. Hw did the adptive parents behave eventually?
A. They kept the prmises they had initially made.
B. They cut ff cntact and erased the girl’s past.
C. They frequently invited the authr’s family ver.
D. They maintained a strng cnnectin with her past.
27. What des the authr cnclude abut family?
A. It is easily replaced by new ties.
B. It is strengthened by frequent visits.
C. It is defined by bld and legal wnership.
D. It is a lasting bnd even beynd separatin.

Tw-thirds f all irrigated(灌溉的) agriculture in the wrld is likely t be affected in sme way by declining glaciers and dwindling snwfall in muntain regins, driven by the climate crisis, acerding t a UNESCO reprt.
Mre than 1 billin peple live in muntainus regins and, f thse in develping cuntries, up t half are already experiencing fd insecurity. That is likely t wrsen, as fd prductin in such regins is dependent n muntain waters, melting snw and glaciers(冰川), accrding t the Wrld Water Develpment Reprt 2025. Develped cuntries are als at risk: in the US, fr example, the Clrad River basin has been in drught since 2000, and higher temperatures mean mre water falls as rain instead f snw. Rain runs ff much faster than melting snw, making dry cnditins even wrse.
The largest three-year lss f glacier mass n recrd ccurred in the past three years, accrding t separate research frm the Wrld Meterlgical Organizatin, with Nrway and
Sweden amng the wrst-affected areas. Eastern Africa has lst 80% f its glaciers in places. Glaciers in the Alps, the wrst affected in Eurpe, have shrunk by abut 40% ver rughly the same perid.
The decline f glaciers has had a further impact, added Abu Amani, directr f water sciences at UNESCO. "Glaciers melting have an impact n the reflectivity f (slar) radiatin and that will impact the whle climate system," he warned. Mre avalanches(雪崩) will als ccur, as rain falling n snw is a majr factr behind avalanche frmatin. Pling water frm melting glaciers can als be released, causing sudden flds in valleys r t peple living further dwn the side f the muntain.
These impacts are cming at a time when many fd surces are already under pressure. Alvar Lari, president f the Internatinal Fund fr Agricultural Develpment and chair f UN-Water, called fr mre supprt fr peple wh live in affected muntain regins. "Water flws dwnhill, but fd insecurity rises uphill. Muntains prvide 60% f ur freshwater, but the cmmunities that safeguard these vital resurces are amng the mst fd insecure," he said.
28. What des the underlined wrd "dwindling" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Increasing. B. Wasting. C. Decreasing. D. Changing.
29. What factrs cntributing t fd insecurity are mentined in the passage?
A. Declining glaciers and mre avalanches.
B. Dry cnditins and rain falling n snw.
C. Climate impacts and lack f mdern irrigatin technlgy.
D. Dependence n glacier-fed water and stressed fd surces.
30. Why des the authr list the figures in paragraph 3?
A. T predict future trends f glacier melting.
B. T stress the severity f glbal glacier lss.
C. T call fr plicy in the wrst-affected regins.
D. T list the decline f glacier in different regins.
31. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Melting Glaciers, Rising Hunger
B. Climate Change, Water Shrtage
C. Threats t Muntain Cmmunities
D. Fld Risks frm Melting Glaciers

The human interest with watching thers-whether thrugh reality TV r verheard drama -is ften dismissed as curisity. But new research suggests this urge may be a scial survival tl dating back millins f years.
T explre the rigins f scial curisity, Laura Lewis, a psychlgist at the University f Califrnia, and her clleagues studied hw human children between fur and six years ld frm San Francisc’s Bay Area and adult chimpanzees respnded t certain vides shwing members f their respective species. The results shw that bth grups preferred watching scial interactins ver scenes invlving individuals-even giving away small rewards t see the frmer.
"These findings demnstrate that scial infrmatin is imprtant, rewarding and valuable fr humans and ther primate(灵长类) species," Lewis says. "It suggests that scial infrmatin was als imprtant fr ur shared primate ancestrs and that fr millins f years it has been adaptive fr primates t gain scial infrmatin abut thse arund them."
Anther recent study explred peer-watching behavir in lng-tailed macaques(猕猴). Bth female and male macaques shwed mre interest in aggressive(好斗的) interactins than in peaceful brushing, and bth paid mre attentin t vides f familiar individuals. The study’s lead authr, Liesbeth Sterck, a primatlgist at Utrecht University, says the latter behavir mirrrs the way humans are drawn t the scial lives f peple they recgnize-whether family, friends r mvie stars. Interest in aggressive interactins, which are likely t reveal shifts in dminance r signal ptential threats, supprts findings that humans are especially aware f watching cnflict in media. "Keeping track f the pwer balance in yur wn grup likely has prime value fr primates, including humans," Sterck says.
Gillian Frrester, wh studies cmparative cgnitin(认知) at the University f Sussex, says scial attentin is key t maintaining a gd reputatin. In ancient humans and ther primates, reputatinal damage can bar access t fd and mates, cause physical cnflict and, in extreme cases, lead t ptentially deadly rejectin. With s much at risk, primates develped t keep a clse eye n grup members. "Mdern humans maintain this sharp attentin t ther peple’s scial interactins as an evlutinary adaptatin," Frrester says–s peple watching might just pay ff.
32. What did Laura Lewis and her team find in their study?
A. Children learned t becme mre scial by watching thers.
B. Chimpanzees shwed mre interest in watching individuals.
C. Children and Chimpanzees needed rewards t watch vides.
D. Children and Chimpanzees preferred watching scial scenes.
33. Why are macaques and humans interested in aggressive interactins?
A. T chase the latest scial trends.
B. T discver changes and threats.
C. T explre the scial lives f friends.
D. T demnstrate their pwer ver thers.
34. What des Gillian Frrester find abut reputatinal damage?
A. It affects human’s ability t find fd.
B. It is mainly caused by physical fights.
C. It can lead t serius results like being excluded.
D. It can be avided as primates value grup harmny.
35. What is the main idea f the passage?
A. Reality TV satisfies human curisity.
B. Scial curisity is develped in childhd.
C. Primates share similar behavirs with humans.
D. Peple-watching has deep evlutinary rigins.

The nly bad thing abut a gd creative day is that it ends, with n guarantee f repeating that prductivity tmrrw. 36 These methds nt nly prevent creative gaps but als help build a cntinuus rhythm, making inspiratin less dependent n luck.
Ernest Hemingway had the smart trick f always calling it a day at a pint when he knew what came next. 37 What a creative rganizatinal tl! Knwing what cmes next is like crcheting(钩针编织): The end f ne day knits int the next, and yu wind up with a garment(毛衣) that is flexible but strng...
38 Think abut experienced stand-up cmedians: they never perfrm until they’re ttally tired. Instead, they end their shws when the audience is still begging fr mre. Apply this t yur creative wrk: stp while yu still have a little energy left. That unused fuel will becme yur perfect starting pint tmrrw.
Try this simple exercise fr a week: every day, end yur wrking day when yu still have smething in reserve. 39 Is it a few half-frmed ideas yu haven’t explred yet? Or a thught yu wanted t share with smene but didn’t? Write dwn exactly what it is n a small card, put the card away, and dn’t think abut it fr the rest f the day. Start the next day by lking at yur nte.
Harry Truman had a wise habit: whenever he wrte a letter in anger, he’d put the letter away in a desk drawer fr twenty-fur hurs befre rereading it. 40 It’s the same with yur nte. When yu lk at it the next day, yu’ll nt nly pick up yesterday’s reserve but als see rm fr imprvement with a fresh mind.
A. He built himself a bridge t the next day.
B. Dn’t push yurself t the pint f ttal exhaustin.
C. This pause lets him check if his initial anger still hlds.
D. Writing dwn ideas immediately helps avid frgetting them.
E. The key is knwing what exactly yu’re saving fr tmrrw.
F. Frtunately, there are practical ways t keep creativity flwing.
G. Many creative peple struggle with keeping cnsistent inspiratin.

I always had a tugh time in schl. My father had put it best: "Sme kids are gd in schl, and sme aren’t. Yu’re just ne f the kids wh isn’t." But I wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
Ever since the first day f schl, it had been drilled int my brain that I must strive fr academic success. Our principal talked t us many times abut striving fr greatness. Pictures f past schlars and prfessrs decrated at least ne wall in almst every classrm.
When I was a small child, I was tested, and they fund that I had several learning disabilities. I had t review cnstantly t keep the infrmatin in my brain, and 1 was always tw t three years behind my grade level in math.
In high schl, withut special educatin, I had t find new ways t help myself d better in schl. One night, I was wrking with my tutr. I just wasn’t getting it, and it had been ging n like that fr a few weeks. My tutr had finally had it, and started yelling at me in frnt f the entire crwd f kids (each with their wn private tutr). "Hw dumb can yu be? We’ve been reviewing the same fur math steps fr three weeks nw. If yu dn’t start shaping up sn, yu’ll end up being a failure."
That was the first time smene had said "yu’re a failure" right t my face. Until then, my failure had been my private despair. I strmed ut f the rm and hid in a dark crner right utside the schl. I stayed there fr a half hur, crying and asking myself if the pain and disappintment wuld ever end.
I left that schl shrtly afterwards, hping t find a place where I culd get away frm the pain and find the greatness buried deep within me. And I did.

Peple greet me cheerfully each mrning because they see my character. When I finally shifted my fcus frm what I lacked t wh I am-smene wh tries his hardest and cares deeply—everything changed. This inner shift was like a signal; by recgnizing my wn wrth, I began t carry myself with a quiet cnfidence that thers culd sense. They see a persn wh knws his wn value, nt because f achievements, but because f his character and effrt. In learning t value myself, I taught thers hw t see me. This year has nt just changed my envirnment; it has rebuilt my very fundatin, breathing new life int me.
