A
La Zi nce said, “Care abut what ther peple think and yu will always be their prisner.” Peple-pleasing, r seeking self-wrth, thrugh thers’ apprval, is unprductive and an exhausting way t g thrugh life. Why d we allw what thers think f us t have s much pwer ver hw we feel abut urselves? If it’s true that yu can’t please all peple all f the time, wuldn’t it make sense t stp trying?
Unfrtunately, sense ften isn’t driving ur behavir. Fr scial beings wh desire lve and belnging wanting t be liked, and caring abut the effect we have n thers, is healthy and allws us t make cnnectins. Hwever, where we get int truble is when ur self-wrth is dependent upn whether we win smene’s apprval r nt.
This need t be liked can be traced back t when we were children and were cmpletely dependent n thers t take care f us: Small children are nt just learning hw t walk and cmmunicate, they are als trying t learn hw the wrld wrks. We learn abut wh we are and what is expected f us based n interactins with thers, s, t a fur-year-ld, if Mmmy r Daddy desn’t like him r her, there is the danger that they will abandn them. We need t understand that when we desperately want smene t apprve f us, it’s being driven by that little kid part f us that is still terrified f abandnment.
As yu becme mre capable f prviding yurself with the apprval yu seek, yur need fr external validatin (认同) will start t disappear, leaving yu strnger, mre cnfident, and yes, happier in yur life. Imaging hw much time we lse every time we restrict ur true selves in an effrt t be liked.
If we base ur wrth n the pinins f thers, we cheat urselves f the pwer t shape ur experiences and embrace life nt nly fr thers but als fr urselves because ultimately, there is n difference. S embrace the cliche (老话) and lve yurself as it’s highly dubtful that yu’ll regret it.
1. What can we cnclude frm La Zi’s qutatin?
A. We shuld see thrugh thers’ attempt t make a prisner f us
B. We can never be truly free if taking t heart thers’ pinin f us.
C. We can never really please thers even if we try as hard as we can.
D. We shuld care abut thers’ view as much as they care abut ur wn.
2. What will happen if we base ur self-wrth n ther peple’s apprval?
A. Our desire t be lved will be fulfilled.B. Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting.
C. Our identity as scial beings will be affected.D. Our sense f self will be sharpened and enhanced.
3. What may accunt fr ur need t be liked r apprved f?
A. Our desperate lnging fr interactins with thers.
B. Our understanding f the wrkings f the wrld.
C. Our knwledge abut the pain f abandnment.
D. Our early childhd fear f being deserted.
4. What des the authr advise us t d in the last paragraph?
A. Embrace life fr urselves and fr thers.B. Base ur wrth n thers’ pinins.
C. See ur experiences as resurces.D. Lve urselves as we are.

Nw 29, Meng has turned this childhd curisity int reality with his advanced irn-based flw energy strage system. Distinguished by its massive strage capacity, high safety standards, and lng-term endurance, this technlgy represents a majr advancement in energy strage.
In 2013, Meng began his studies at Hefei University f Technlgy in Anhui, East China, majring in new energy materials and devices. During his university years, he traveled t Qinghai and Gansu prvinces in Nrthwest China fr research, where he bserved the initial successes f wind and slar pwer prjects.

It was during this perid that Meng recgnized the urgent need fr advanced strage slutins t stabilize energy supply and release it steadily t the grid, thereby increasing efficiency. This realizatin led him t develp the irn-based flw energy strage system.
“This system functins like a large pwer bank fr cities,” he explained. Accrding t Meng, while lithium (锂) batteries are well-established, there is a grwing need fr a mre affrdable and safer strage slutin.

In 2020, while pursuing his master’s degree at Huazhng University f Science and Technlgy, Meng achieved a significant milestne by successfully testing the first irn-based flw battery in his lab. “Seeing the battery mdel start its charging and discharging cycles was a mment f endless pride,” he said, “with China annuncing its duble carbn gals, I wanted t transfrm my research int a tangible prduct that culd bth benefit the cuntry and make a difference.”
Thrugh cntinuus adjustments, accurate research, and determined experimentatin, Meng and his team cmpleted their first kilwatt-level energy strage system in 2021, suitable fr everyday use. “I want t keep imprving the technlgy t make energy strage safer and mre cst-effective, bth in China and wrldwide,” he said.

The new Gemini Live vice assistant represents advancement in cnversatinal AI, althugh it des have sme functinal limitatins. While sme users may prefer human interactin t using Ggle’s Gemini Live, the assistant ffers several benefits. It can enhance interviewing skills and humr, listens attentively, respnds quickly, and handles interruptins effectively. Additinally, unlike ther bts, it des nt frequently respnd with, “Srry, I didn’t understand that.”
“I had an extensive chat with Ggle’s AI assistant befre its release.” Rick Osterlh, wh charges Andrid, Chrme, and Ggle’s hardware businesses, emphasized system perfrmance and lw delay fr dialgues. Gemini Live culd revlutinize ur interactin with technlgy. It will wrk with Ggle’s new earbuds, prviding a Her-like experience. Hwever, Osterlh clarified that Gemini Live is intended as a practical assistant fr brainstrming and cnversatin, nt fr emtinal attachments.
Gemini Live will be widely available starting with Andrid users, with Pixel phne buyers getting extra AI tls pwered by the new Tensr G4 chips. These tls include the “Add Me” pht feature, which integrates individual shts int grup phts, and “Call Ntes”, which recrds and writes ut calls. Of curse, there are still sme prblems, such as misinterpreting jkes.
AI is integrated int many parts f the new Andrid phnes, and while iPhne users can expect similar advancements with iOS 18, Osterlh believes Ggle has an advantage. Due t its extensive understanding f bth persnal and glbal infrmatin, it can ffer mre intelligent, persnalized, and practical services. But Osterlh assured that phne calls, texts, emails, and calendar appintments are nt used t train Ggle’s AI mdels.
The true bstacle is neither technlgical nr cmpetitive. Ggle faced criticism fr an advertisement shwing a father using Gemini t help his daughter write a letter, which sme saw as reducing human cnnectin. Osterlh cmpared this t the shift frm handwritten letters t emails, suggesting that while the market may nt be fully ready fr AI’s changes, there is hpe fr gradual acceptance.
In cnclusin, Gemini’s integratin int daily tasks and ptential fr future imprvements make it an imprtant develpment in the grwing field f artificial intelligence.
9. What des the underlined wrd “revlutinize” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Turn upside dwn.B. Slw dwn prgress.
C. Preserve the current state.D. Bring abut majr changes.

B Pixel phne buyers will receive them befre ther phne users.
C. The “Call Ntes” feature can transfrm yur cnversatins.
D. The “Add Me” feature recgnizes and remves unwanted phts.
11. Why des Osterlh believes Ggle has an advantage in AI?
A. AI is merely integrated int new Andrid phnes.
B. Ggle has pwerful infrmatin prcessing capabilities.
C. Andrid phnes are superir t thse with iOS systems.
D. Ggle relies n persnal data t better its AI mdels.

My mther believed in using things up. Last year, ur crnfield had a bad harvest because birds feasted n the crps. It was prbably then that Mm’s frugality(节俭)became even mre extrardinary. She began keeping everything that seemed useless in the attic(阁楼)—wrn-ut clthes, ld sheets, brken umbrellas, and sme ther ld items. Mm’s favrite saying was “waste nt, want nt”(俭以防匮). My brther Jsh and I weren’t sure what that meant until the “Affair f the Scarecrw(稻草人)”, which, as it later became knwn, left a lasting impressin n us.
The stry began with a pretty hat that Mm received as a gift t prtect her frm the sun. Hwever, Jsh and I culd see that Mm’s frugal nature and fashin sense were in battle. Mm really didn’t want t get rid f the hat—it was new and had a lt f use left in it—but neither culd she stand wearing it. She tried t take ff the fancy decratins, but they were stuck n tight. She’d have t find sme ther slutin.
Jsh and I watched as Mm headed upstairs t the attic with the hat. “Waste nt, want nt,” she called back dwn. We heard bxes being mved arund. Mments later, Mm leaned ut, hlding a flur bag full f straw, and with a mysterius smile, she placed the hat n it.
“What is that fr?” I asked, cnfused. “A scarecrw! ” Mm exclaimed. “But nt a gd ne yet.It needs a strng bdy t stand firm in the field,” she said with a frwn. “And it desn’t lk scary enugh,” Jsh remarked. I had t admit that Jsh, thugh yunger than I was, culd smetimes be mre imaginative. Jsh and I turned t each ther, searching fr a gd idea. Sn enugh, Jsh’s eyes lit up with inspiratin.
