On a warm afternn at the shre my fur-year-ld sn, Wilsn, and I headed t the beach, ur favrite evening escape. The sun was still bright as Wilsn happily raced t the water’s edge, letting the waves wet him. It’s hard t believe that nt lng ag, his sensitivities frm autism (自闭症) kept him frm appraching the beach. After years f treatment, he nw lves ur seaside adventures, which fills me with jy.
We used t lk fr seashells t fill ur bucket (桶). On this day, there didn’t seem t be t many shells washed up n the shre. As we cllected seashells, I searched fr perfect nes, while Wilsn filled ur bucket with brken pieces. I wndered why he was ding that. When I suggested finding whle shells, he simply gave me a puzzled lk and cntinued picking up whatever he fund, cntent with his unique cllectin.
I cntinued my search fr a while and then stpped t watch him place mre brken shells int the bucket. Again, I stpped, but this time I asked in a firm vice, “Wilsn, why d yu keep filling ur bucket with shells that are brken?”
He lked up at me and said, “Mm, there are mre brken shells n the beach than perfect nes. We’ll fill the bucket faster with these brken nes.”
True, I thught, but wh wants a bucketful f brken shells? Wilsn stared at me and said, “Mm, these shells are brken, but they are still beautiful.”
“Yu’re right, Wilsn,” I replied.
“And, Mm, this ne lks like a smile when yu hld it this way,” he said as he reached fr anther brken shell. “It reminds me f a clwn. This ne is rund like the sun.”
Tears filled my eyes as I realized my sn was teaching me an imprtant lessn. I tk ut the perfect shells I had cllected and placed them back n the beach. Wilsn and I walked alng, gathering nly brken shells, and admiring their beauty. Back at ur beach huse, we washed the shells and prudly displayed ur “brken shell garden”. It reminded us that nne f us are perfect, but we all have unique beauty. Nw, we cllect nly brken shells, finding beauty in their imperfectins and learning frm them.
24 Hw did the authr feel upn seeing her sn’s cllectin f brken shells at first?

Tday, we have access t mre infrmatin than ever befre. Online vide platfrms and scial media apps can prvide us with in-depth learning pprtunities fr free — frm prfessinal develpment tips t artificial intelligence lessns. In mre recent years, large language mdels have shwn they can answer almst any questin with an increasing level f accuracy.
With s much data at ur fingertips, mre and mre peple are beginning t wnder: why invest time and mney in a cllege degree when I can gather infrmatin and build skills nline?
The prblem with this questin, hwever, is that it misunderstands mst f the value f higher educatin. Fr many, higher educatin ffers much mre — a transfrmative jurney where students can netwrk and develp prtable sft skills like critical thinking, cmmunicatin, prblem-slving, emtinal intelligence, and creativity. Acquiring these cmpetencies ften requires teamwrk and repetitin. These are experiences that can’t be easily cpied by watching an influencer r reading AI-generated text thrugh a screen.
While it’s true that a cllege degree is nt the nly path t success, we can’t ignre the reality that mst rganizatins still cnsider it an indicatr f a candidate’s readiness fr the wrkfrce. In a recent survey f 334 emplyers by the Natinal Assciatin f Clleges and Emplyers (NACE), respndents said nearly 70% f their entry-level jbs require a fur-year degree. This statistic suggests that — despite alternative rutes — a cllege educatin can give a leg-up t jb candidates in tday’s market.
But anything with benefits has sme weaknesses. We must cnsider that, acrss the bard, cllege cst is rising. Fr mst students, acquiring a degree will result in majr debt. Yu shuld als cnsider whether yur cllege curses are keeping up with the times. The educatin shuld ideally be up-t-date and useful t yu upn entering the wrkfrce.
Fr thse wh believe these dwnsides are wrth the upsides a cllege educatin can ffer, here’s hw t maximize the benefits f higher educatin:
· Learn the latest innvatins thrugh curses.
· Build a strng prfessinal netwrk.
· Take advantage f teamwrk and prblem-slving pprtunities.
· Braden yur educatin with ther resurces.
These fur strategies can help students maximize their cllege experience while als staying up t date with the latest technlgical trends. By being flexible, netwrking actively, develping prblem-slving skills, and seeking learning pprtunities in the real wrld, students can prepare themselves nt just fr their first jb but fr a dynamic and successful career.
28. Why des the authr ask the questin in Paragraph 2?
A. T encurage dubt abut nline learning.
B. T start the discussin n cllege educatin.
C. T emphasize the superirity f nline learning.
D. T cmpare nline learning with cllege educatin.
29. What des the underlined wrd “leg-up” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. AssistanceB. Virtue.C. Insight.D. Curage.
30. It is implied in this passage that ________.
A. cllege educatin remains valuable despite the rise f nline learning
B. cllege educatin ignres students’ develpment f prtable sft skills
C. students can learn the latest innvatins thrugh a prfessinal netwrk
D. students can get a successful career as lng as they have cllege experience

It was an arresting image: a large airplane parked n the Antarctic ice, smiling flight attendants psing in frnt f it. The sht seemed t mark a new phase fr Antarctic turism. Frtunately, the flight in questin was delivering staff and supplies fr research rather than turism — but travel t Earth’s suthernmst cntinent has nnetheless reached a new milestne. The grwing number f visitrs brught a new urgency t the questin f hw much turism shuld be allwed n the icy cntinent.
Many members f the Internatinal Assciatin f Antarctic Turism Operatrs (IAATO) say prmting Antarctic cnservatin is part f their missin. In fact, IAATO members fllw strict rules designed t prtect the envirnment, including remving all waste frm the cntinent and aviding unknwingly intrducing nn-native species. Nnetheless, a number f bisecurity studies fund a large number f nn-native species present. The risks are real. An invasive (侵袭的) grass species has established a fthld n ne f Antarctica’s Suth Shetland Islands, while bird flu recently reached the Sub-Antarctic Islands, where it has had a damaging effect n the seal ppulatin.
Despite these grwing threats, bisecurity is nt the biggest danger facing Antarctica’s wilderness areas. Turists can reduce bisecurity risks by taking new clthing t Antarctica, but the carbn impact is a real issue. The average per-persn carbn emissins (排放) fr an Antarctic turist are 3.76 tnnes — abut the ttal sum that an individual typically generates in an entire year. One study calculated that each turist between 2016 and 2020 was effectively melting arund 83 tnnes f snw, due largely t emissins frm travel ships.
The Antarctic is at risk nt just because f the delicacy f its envirnment, but due t the lack f a single gverning bdy. The Antarctic Treaty, established in 1961 t prvide gvernance fr the cntinent, perates n a cnsultative basis, which means all parties have t agree befre a change can be put int actin.
There is a cmmn understanding that smething needs t change, but n agreement n what thse changes shuld be. Shuld landings be made at a larger number f sites fr instance, r shuld we aim t keep the human ftprint as small as pssible? Researchers recmmend that anyne thinking abut visiting Antarctica shuld take a hard lk at their mtivatin and the impacts f their chice.
“As a researcher, it’s a mral decisin that I make every time I g, whether what I’m ding is wrth the impact,” said a prfessr, wh says turists shuld als weigh up the cnsequences.
“If yur mtivatin is simply because yu have stepped n six cntinents already and yu want t step n the seventh — persnally I think that’s a fairly silly reasn.”
31. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. Nn-native species have nt been fund in the Antarctic s far.
B. The best way t reach the Antarctic is by taking a large airplane.
C. Develping turism and ding research are equally imprtant in the Antarctic.
D. IAATO has taken sme measures t cnserve the envirnment in the Antarctic.
32. What is the primary cncern abut the grwing travelers in the Antarctic?
A. The absence f a single gverning bdy.
B. The decline in the number f seals due t turism.
C. The ptential fr turists t intrduce invasive species.
D. The carbn emissins assciated with travel t the Antarctic.
33. The main mral challenge presented by Antarctic turism is ________.
A. allwing turists t access areas typically reserved fr research
B. deciding whether turism can fund further explratin f the Antarctic
C. satisfying persnal desires fr traveling while preserving the envirnment
D. balancing the ecnmic benefits f turism with the envirnmental impact
34. Which wuld be the best title fr this passage?
A. Antarctic Research: A Prmising Future!
B. Flying t the Antarctic: A New Milestne!
C. Antarctic Turism: Shuld We Just Say N?
D. Threat t the Antarctic: Why Bisecurity Risks?

Being an intrvert (内向的人), I feared nthing mre than stepping utside f my safe little bubble. But things tk an interesting turn in my secnd year f cllege when I had t take a public speaking class. At first, I thught, “Ww, what am I ding?” Hwever, that summer, I learned t gradually expse myself t stress and anxiety. Rughly seven speeches later. I brke ut f my shell and became a whle new versin f myself. What I want t emphasize frm my stry is that it’s nt enugh t just step utside ur cmfrt znes. We must live utside them.
Yu may be asking, “Hw d I start living utside f my cmfrt zne?” The answer I wuld persnally give is “baby steps”. Cnsider breaking up rutines and habits, fr instance. Even ding smething as small as trying a new flavr f yur favrite snack can start the prcess. Then, sample a new snack. After that, rder smething different fr lunch. Finally, yu get the idea. That same mentality can be applied t anything under the sun. The pssibilities are endless, and trust me, nce yu start finding yur rhythm, yu’ll find it gets prgressively easier t try new things.
Abve all, remember that any step is still a step. Dn’t feel discuraged that yu aren’t ding as much as yu shuld, r that yu’ re nt mving as quickly as smene else. Everyne has it in them t take actin and live utside their cmfrt znes. D what is right fr yu. Smetimes, yu will need t push yurself. Hwever, pushing yurself t hard will nly make yu pull back and becme verly cautius. After all, the final gal is t find a happy balance between cmfrt and discmfrt, between safety and risk.
