I grew up in a large family where disrder ften spread thrughut the huse. I was the quiet ne, walking arund the huse cleaning up and taking care f their needs. S when I started t have negative thughts abut my bdy and my abilities, I didn’t knw hw t speak up ver all the nise. Gradually I began t starve myself, eating less and less.
I didn’t want t admit that my health prblems were being caused by my eating disrder behavirs. Every time my lw weight was brught up by smene wh lved me, I blamed it n my stmach illness.
The turning pint was during a heated cnversatin I had with my therapist (治疗师). Our cnversatin was abut the harm I was ding t my bdy and why fd was gd fr my bdy. I felt frustrated. I already knew everything he was saying — I have a degree in exercise science. But what I didn’t knw was hw t apply what I had learnt t my disrder and hw t help my brain vercme its wn thughts. We eventually gt past my frustratin and discussed specific memries that cntributed t why I was afraid f fd. He started teaching me abut mindfulness (正念) and I slwly started t make prgress.
My therapist helped me understand hw the bdy and mind were cnnected. S I began t accept my thughts and feelings withut thinking there’s a right r wrng respnse, and tune int (关注) what’s happening in the present mment rather than repeating the past. Regularly I practiced mindfulness, fcusing n my mment-t-mment experiences. Mrever, I tk up mindful eating — when eating, I just fcused n the fd I was eating and hw it tasted. Mindfulness gave me a sense f cntrl ver my thughts and actins. Thanks t it, I finally recvered.

Plastic is widely used and lng-lasting, finding its way int every crner f ur lives. But the very qualities that make plastic s useful als make it a huge prblem. Cheap and dispsable (一次性的), plastic has been a symbl f ur thrwaway culture. As a result, vast quantities f plastic pllute ur wrld. A trucklad f plastic enters the cean every single minute and UK supermarkets prduce 800,000 tns every year. With prductin increasing, that’s set t rise.
But plastic isn’t just a prblem fr wildlife. The UK prduces huge plastic waste per persn, and a huge amunt f it is sent t cuntries that aren’t equipped t deal with it. Greenpeace investigatrs fund plastic waste being put and burned n the radside, near waterways, and in the pen air, and peple nearby have reprted serius health prblems.
Bttles, pts, and fd bwls are immediately bvius, but ther types f plastic pllutin can be harder t discern. When plastic breaks dwn, it desn’t disappear. Instead, it gets smaller, creating micrplastics. Even clthes made frm man-made materials leave micrplastic fibers when they’re washed.
Bits f plastic have been fund in the ceans, n islands, and even in Antarctica. Turtles, dlphins, and seabirds can be injured by large pieces f plastic. It can even be mistaken fr fd. Micrplastics are just as damaging. Eaten by everything frm zplanktn (浮游动物) t giant blue whales, they enter the fd chain and carry harmful substances. Mrever, micrplastics have even been fund in human waste.
We’re just beginning t realize the scale (程度) f the prblem. Peple arund the wrld have cme tgether t end plastic pllutin, and it’s wrking. Greenpeace supprters have challenged Cca-Cla t use less plastic packaging, while cuntries like the UK have banned certain micrplastics. Supermarkets are starting t talk abut what they need t d. Mst f them are trying hard t share their respnsibility fr reducing plastic waste.
8. What can we learn abut plastic frm paragraph 1?
A. It mstly ends up in the ceans.B. It has a bad influence n ur culture.
C. It will be prduced less in the future.D. It has bth beneficial and harmful effects.
9. What des the example f British plastic waste in paragraph 2 mainly shw?
A It is challenging t deal with plastic waste.
B. Plastic waste is a big prblem fr wildlife.
C. Dealing with plastic waste imprperly threatens human health.
D. Mst cuntries have rich experience in handling plastic waste.
10. What des the underlined wrd “discern” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A Avid.B. Fllw.C. Ntice.D. Cntrl.
11. What are peple ding t reduce plastic pllutin?
A. Banning micrplastics wrldwide.B. Reducing the use f plastic prducts.

At tp universities, there’s a phenmenn knwn as “Stanfrd Duck Syndrme (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear t mve gracefully (优雅地). Hwever, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately t keep up.
Experts frm Stanfrd’s Health Services uncvered this trubling trend: during the day, many Stanfrd students are seen scializing in cafés, seemingly withut any stress r the need t study. Hwever, at night, they start studying, smetimes fr the entire night, trying t maintain the image f effrtless success. This cmes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermre, it leads t a cmmn miscnceptin: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while thse wrking hard are less capable.
In an effrt t challenge this miscnceptin, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked t bserve a series f clrs carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity thrughut the prcess. The experiment was divided int tw parts: ne with easily distinguishable clrs and the ther with clrs that were quite similar, requiring mre effrt t differentiate. As the difficulty f the task increased, there was a nticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked t memry and abstract reasning.
The study reveals that as tasks require mre effrt, mre areas f the brain becme engaged. Grwth desn’t cme frm talent alne but frm the cnsistent applicatin f effrt. Our brain functins like a muscle. Withut effrt, even ur inbrn talents will fade ver time.
This pushes us t recnsider the underlying culture that might lead t this phenmenn. Instead f fcusing t much n utcmes r singing high praise fr inbrn talents, we shuld emphasize the learning prcess and cntinuus imprvement. By encuraging a culture that values effrt, we can help students realize that intelligence is nt fixed but grws thrugh hard wrk. Such a shift wuld nt nly reduce the pressures assciated with the “Stanfrd Duck Syndrme”, but als have a prfund impact n persnal develpment and the future f educatin.
12. What phenmenn des the “Stanfrd Duck Syndrme” prbably describe?
A. Priritizing effrt ver well-being.
B. Relieving stress thrugh scial activities.
C. Displaying graceful images t attract thers.
D. Hiding hard wrk t appear naturally gifted.
13. Hw des the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the miscnceptin?
A. By shwing effrt fuels the brain activity.
B. By prving fcus enhances brain functin.
C. By linking clr recgnitin t intelligence.
D. By assciating careful bservatin with talent.
14. What is the authr’s main cncern abut “Stanfrd Duck Syndrme”?
A. It values the learning prcess ver utcmes.
B. It causes stress and false ideas abut success.
C. It prevents students frm recgnizing their talents.
D. It makes students priritize scializing ver studying.
15. Which f the fllwing might the authr agree with?
A. Frtune favrs thse with a clear visin.
B. Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece.
C. Wrk in silence and let success make the nise.
D. Keep mving frward even when n ne sees it.

When a new trend (趋势) swept thrugh schl, every kid wanted in. The latest must-have item? Superher-style jerseys (球衣), decrated with bright clrs and the lgs f everyne’s favrite heres. They were cl and expensive. Almst everyne pre-rdered ne, except Dylan.
Dylan lived with his grandmther, Mrs. Hargrve, in a small huse. Mney was tight, but they made d. When Dylan saw the jerseys at schl, he culdn’t help but want ne. Mrs. Hargrve lked at the price tag nline and said gently, “I’m afraid we can’t affrd ne right nw.” Dylan’s face fell, but he frced a smile, “That’s kay, Grandma. I understand.”
But Mrs. Hargrve culdn’t bear t see him disappinted. That night, after Dylan had gne t bed, she sat dwn with her knitting needles (针) and a plan. She stayed up all night and made a hmemade jersey with all the lve she had. By mrning, she was tired but satisfied, hlding the finished prduct with a smile.
At breakfast, she presented the jersey t Dylan. Dylan’s heart sank when he saw the jersey. It was a bright, hand-knitted sweater with a superher picture that wasn’t exactly perfect. But he saw the lk in his grandmther’s eyes and knew he culdn’t hurt her feelings. “Thanks, Grandma,” he said, frcing enthusiasm int his vice. “It’s great.”
On Mnday, Dylan put n the hmemade jersey and went t schl. As sn as he entered the classrm, sme kids started t laugh at him. Dylan tried t ignre them, but the cmments kept cming. By lunchtime, he culdn’t take it anymre and ran hme, tears streaming dwn his face. Mrs. Hargrve held him clse, her heart brken fr him.
Meanwhile, Mr. Pickfrd, Dylan’s belved teacher, heard abut what had happened. He was knwn fr his kindness and his special ability f turning bad situatins arund.

【答案】Mr. Pickfrd decided t take actin. He rganized a special class activity called “The Value Behind Clthes”. In the class, he asked each student t share the stry behind a special piece f clthing they wned. Sme talked abut the dresses their mthers made fr their birthdays, while thers shared the significance f the wrn-ut items passed dwn frm their grandparents. Mr. Pickfrd then asked Dylan t cme t the frnt and shw his jersey. In a trembling vice, Dylan tld the whle class hw his grandma had stayed up all night t make this jersey fr him because they culdn’t affrd the expensive stre-bught nes. His wrds tuched the hearts f his classmates, and many f them hung their heads in shame fr their earlier behavir.
After the class, the students’ attitudes changed cmpletely. They started t appreciate the effrt and lve put int every piece f clthing, n matter hw it lked. Sme students even asked Mrs. Hargrve t teach them hw t knit. The next week, a “Handmade Clthes Day” was rganized in the schl. All the students wre their self-made r family-made clthes with pride. Dylan’s jersey became the mst special ne amng them. Frm then n, instead f being laughed at, Dylan was admired fr having such a lving grandmther and the unique jersey filled with lve. The schl atmsphere became warmer, and everyne learned the true meaning f kindness and respect.
