I started cllege dreaming f becming a frensic pathlgist (法医). I wanted t help give a vice t thse wh culd n lnger speak. I wuld need a medical degree, s I registered as a bilgy majr. Research wasn't n my agenda, partly because such pprtunities in Puert Ric were limited.
The fllwing year, Hurricane Maria hit. It leveled ur cmmunities, causing thusands f deaths and billins f dllars in damage. Tw weeks after the hurricane, I, tgether with 29 ther students, was ffered a chance t temprarily cntinue ur studies at Brwn University while ur schl recvered.
On the flight nrth, which was bked by Brwn, everything felt unreal—leather seats, fresh fruit, and, after landing, a receptin in a splendid hall. I felt cnflicted. Here I was, feeling jy and wnder at a new experience, while everyne back hme struggled.
Brwn set us up with classes, bks, drm rms, and funds t purchase winter clthes. It was in an intrductry bilgy curse that my path began t shift. I was fascinated by the prfessr’s lecture and reached ut after class. Surprisingly, he immediately ffered me a research psitin in his lab t wrk n a prject mdeling hw climate change culd influence the distributins f plants. The research pened my eyes t the imprtant wrk scientists were ding.
I began t see a path in science beynd medicine and think a Ph. D. was what I wanted. Yet, despite the excitement, I felt dubtful, anxius, and guilty. I struggled t recncile (调和) my new pprtunities with the destructin back hme. I als wrried abut leaving behind my dream f medicine t pursue a path that I was excited abut but that might nt lead t a jb in Puert Ric.
After I shared with my mentr (导师) my cnflicted feelings n the future, he replied: “There’s nthing better than ding what excites yu. ” The wrds felt like permissin t fllw my passin. Nw I am in the furth year f my Ph. D. It is the hurricane that blew me ff my planned curse and set me n an unexpected path.
24. What initially mtivated the authr t majr in bilgy?
A. A deep interest in science. B. A prfessr’s encuragement.
C. The desire fr a medical degree. D. The lack f jb pprtunities.
25. Why did the authr feel cnflicted arriving at Brwn?
A. New financial burdens replaced pst-disaster stress.
B. His academic anxieties utweighed his sense f relief.
C. The cmfrt during travel deepened his guilt abut leaving.
D. His persnal jy cntrasted with his cmmunity’s hardship.
26. What did the authr realize thrugh his wrk in the lab?
A. The prmise f medicine. B. The imprtance f research.
C. The severity f climate issues. D. The danger f scientific wrk.
27. What can be learned frm the authr’s experience?
A. Sticking t ne’s riginal life plan is the key t success.
B. Natural disasters are the primary drivers fr life changes.
C. Leaving ne’s hmeland is necessary fr academic excellence.

Fr decades, cmputer science students have been taught a central skill: using cmputers t slve prblems. In practice, that has meant prgramming r writing cde t tell a machine hw t perfrm tasks.
Nw, generative artificial intelligence tls like ChatGPT can write thse prgrams themselves, prducing cde in much the same way they write essays. A student can ask ChatGPT t write a prgram that srts a list f numbers and get a wrking answer in secnds. This new capability is transfrming hw cmputer scientists get wrk dne. Even nn-prgrammers suddenly have the ability t create their wn sftware tls.
This may feel like a threat t sme cders’ prfessin. It certainly marks a significant shift fr cmputer scientists and thse wh educate them. The future f cmputer science educatin is t teach students hw t master the skill f supervisin (监管). Why? Because the speed and efficiency f using AI t write cde is balanced by the reality that it ften gets things wrng. These tls are designed t prduce results that lk cnvincing, but they may still cntain errrs. There is still a need fr humans t play a rle in cding—a supervisry ne, in which prgrammers versee the use f AI tls, determine if AI-generated cde des what it is suppsed t d and make repairs t faulty cde.
But tday’s cmputer science educatin still fcuses n cding as the primary activity. And wrryingly, sme students are using AI tls t finish their assignments withut learning r understanding hw the cde actually wrks. Mst educatin desn’t yet emphasize the skills critical fr prgramming supervisin. New develpers with less than a year’s experience can actually be less efficient with AI tls than withut, because they are missing critical skills and knwledge needed t evaluate and crrect what the AI prduces.
The rise f generative AI shuld sharpen ur fcus n what truly matters in cmputer science educatin: helping students develp the habits f mind that let them questin, reasn and apply judgment in a rapidly develping field. As the AI pineer Herbert Simn nce advised: “Learning results frm what the student des and thinks, and nly frm what the student des and thinks. ”
28. What can generative AI tls d in prgramming?
A. Teach students hw t cde. B. Prduce cde withut errrs.
C. Write prgrams fllwing instructins. D. Take the place f experienced cders.
29. The authr thinks cmputer science educatin shuld primarily develp students’ ability f ______.
A. supervising and crrecting AI-generated cde B. prgramming r writing cde t perfrm tasks
C. cding r decding speedily and efficiently
D. understanding and using AI tls independently
30. Hw des the authr supprt his argument in paragraph 4?
A. By prviding statistics. B. By presenting facts.
C. By clarifying a cncept. D. By making a predictin.
31. What is the authr's purpse in writing this text?
A. T criticize the traditinal teaching appraches. B. T urge a change in cmputer science educatin.
C. T emphasize the imprtance f efficient learning. D. T shw AI tls cannt replace human teachers.
D
When seeking mental health supprt, yu are ften tld yu shuldn’t try t change-yu are perfectly imperfect. Persnality has traditinally been defined as a pretty stable cllectin f characteristics. Indeed, yu might believe yu are cntrlled by the genetic hand when it cmes t things like hw agreeable yu are. These ideas are nnsense.
There is plenty f evidence that ur persnalities are mre fluid (易变的) than we think, stimulating fascinatin with the craft f persnality change t imprve ur lives. Fr example, a 2024 study fund that three mnths f digital caching reliably increased characterstics like emtinal stability and diligence.
Other characteristics prvide further supprt fr the fluidity f persnality. Mst peple will label themselves purely as extrverts (外向) r intrverts (内向). But Carl Jung, wh cined these terms, said that there is n such thing as a “pure” intrvert r extrvert. Sme f us may be mre likely t enjy the rle f chief party entertainer, while thers tend t prefer quietly adapting t their surrundings, but these preferences are flexible. Wh yu are n a cld winter Wednesday is likely t be different frm wh yu are n a sunny Saturday.
Whatever yur tendencies, getting enugh scial cnnectin is crucial fr yur well-being. Displaying extrverted characteristics is linked with being better able t bear the physical effects f stress. The Harvard Study f Adult Develpment, an 80-year prject tracking the lives f abut 700 men in rder t understand the cre cmpnents f a happy and healthy life, fund that nthing matters mre t that end than lively scial relatinships.
Even if yu file yurself as a pure intrvert, embracing a mre scial attitude may be easier than yu think. It is the strength f smene’s identity as an intrvert, mre than hw highly they scre n characteristics f intrversin, that makes them uncmfrtable when reminded t act mre utging. This indicates that a lser hld f self-image can help t drive cnscius change.
Challenging the idea f rigid persnality types culd make us all happier. But first, yu might need t accept a painful truth: maybe trying t change isn’t such a bad idea.
32. What is a cmmn misunderstanding f persnality?
A. It is fixed and stable. B. It can be changed easily.
C. It is determined by ne's life. D. It has nthing t d with genes.
33. Why des the authr mentin the 2024 study and Carl Jung's view?
A. T give examples f persnality change craft.
B. T express a preference fr certain persnalities.
C. T ffer evidence supprting persnality fluidity.
D. T criticize the traditinal definitin f persnality.
34. What d the underlined wrds “that end” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. The cnclusin f the study. B. A happy and healthy life.
C. The eighty-year prject. D. A key t scial cnnectin.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Time fr a New Yu B. Secrets f Happiness
C. Identifying Persnality Types D. Accepting Wh Yu Are

It’s nrmal t ccasinally trip ver yur wrds, but thse with a stammer can struggle t always speak fluently. A stammer is when yu repeat certain sunds, r when a wrd simply gets stuck, and yu can't get it ut. 36 70% f thse with stammers feel they’re less likely t get hired, and 33% feel it affects their jb perfrmance. S hw can we supprt thse arund us with a stammer the next time we chat?
Dn’t try t fill silences
We’re used t filling thse awkward silences and pauses, ften by speaking up urselves, but smetimes, a little silence is OK! Smetimes, a stammer invlves a silent blck, r a pause is needed befre speaking. It’s key t shw the persn that yu're cmfrtable, rather than impatiently trying t fill it yurself. 37
Never interrupt when smene is trying t speak
It might seem helpful, after all, if yu think yu knw what the persn is trying t say, why nt help them get there faster? 38 One f the mst annying things fr smene wh stammers is being rushed, interrupted, r having thers finish their sentences.
39
When we see smene struggling, it’s natural t try t ffer cmfrt with ur wrds. But this can actually wrsen the situatin. The gd news is yu can prvide cmfrt with yur nn-verbal gestures instead. Fr example, maintaining eye cntact shws yu're engaged and listening t what the persn is saying, nt hw they’re saying it.
40 Take the first step by simply giving them yur time and attentin. While yu can't slve a stammer, kindness, patience, and understanding g a lng way in helping them feel cmfrtable and supprted.
A. Offer nn-verbal cmfrt
B. Find ut mre abut stammering
C. This can help t reduce the pressure.
D. Fr sme peple, this can have a big impact n their lives.
E. Supprting smene with a stammer desn't have t be cmplicated.
F. But interrupting smene can actually put mre pressure n the situatin.
G. Thse with a stammer likely already knw the strategies yu may suggest.

Many years ag, I was sitting in my dear friend Sara's beautifully wallpapered living rm. We were discussing my painstaking effrt t successfully hang wallpaper in several rms at my huse.
“I can’t get the seams (接缝) t match,” I said. “It’s nt straight at the ceiling and it just isn’t nearly as pretty as yurs. What am I ding wrng? Hw did yu get yurs t lk s much better than mine?”
Sara sat quietly listening t all my prblems. I nticed a small smile n her lips and wndered if she was, perhaps, laughing a bit at me. I wund dwn my cmplaining and gave her a chance t respnd.
“Dnna,” she cmfrted. “It’s all an illusin (错觉). The details dn't matter. Lk at my seams; they aren’t perfect either. There is a tear ver in the crner, did yu ntice that?”
I slwly shk my head as I lked mre clsely at the previusly unnticed imperfectins f her living rm walls. She cntinued, “Yu walk int my huse and see the illusin f a beautiful rm. Yu dn’t ntice all the imperfectins. Yu did yur wallpaper yurself s yu knw every spt that isn’t exactly right. N ne else will see the mistakes, just like yu didn't see mine. ” As I left her huse that day, I knew that she was right and lked less critically at my rms upn arriving hme.
Life went n and I almst frgt the discussin. Time passed and ne f my daughters decided t have her wedding in my backyard. I had wrked fr many years t make my yard int a beautiful garden, trying new types f plants. With the help f my husband and sns, we had dug a small pnd and planted new trees. It was a shelter where birds nested and frgs rested. I had dreamed that ne day ne f my children wuld chse it fr a wedding. That day had cme and I enthusiastically began planting pale yellw flwers t match my daughter’s chsen clrs.

Things were ging wnderfully, and then a heavy rain struck. It pured relentlessly fr hurs. My heart sank as I watched frm the windw. The newly planted pale-yellw flwers were battered and muddy. The pnd verflwed, its clear water nw murky. The carefully arranged seating area was a sggy mess. All my dreams f a perfect garden wedding seemed t be washing away. Frustratin and disappintment welled up inside me. I remembered my friend Sara's wrds abut the "illusin" f perfectin. But this felt like mre than just a few hidden seams, it felt like a disaster.
The wedding day came as planned. The sky was clear and bright. As the guests arrived, I held my breath, still seeing the strm's aftermath in my mind. T my surprise, their reactins were nt f disappintment but f delight. They admired the glistening, rain-washed leaves, the vibrant green f the grass, and the way the sun sparkled n the pnd's settled surface. The resilient yellw flwers, thugh slightly battered, std prudly. My daughter, radiant in her dress, walked dwn the makeshift aisle, her jy lighting up the entire space. In that mment, I realized Sara was prfundly right. I had been fcusing n the imperfectins I knew s well, while everyne else saw nly the beautiful, jyful illusin f a lving family celebrating in a lively, natural garden. It was perfect precisely because it was real.
