When I was yunger, I culdn’t wait t escape frm Ramsgate, the harbr twn where I
grew up n the Isle f Thanet. It culd feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café r gallery was ften met with dubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But fr a teenager itching t see mre, that lack f curisity was disheartening.
S I left. I headed nrth fr a fur-year academic jurney frm Yrk t Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the mve t Lndn t d it fr real. But the
reality was tugh. I struggled t cntribute t varius dailies befre perids n staff at bth
magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself int city life: sampling Mediterranean restaurants, navigating arund n the Tube, and staying ut late with friends.
Fr a while, it was enugh. Then it became t much. In and amng the sharing plates, I fund myself n an unending rat race f mving faster and needing t earn mre —just t keep up. Rents in Lndn were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream f wning ne felt like a cruel jke.
As I gt lder, trips back t Thanet pened my eyes t what I had left behind. Mainly, it
was the sea. Wide yellw sands and even the tuch f salt in the air, rdinary in childhd,
suddenly felt appealing. But I als started t miss the beat f small-twn life: waving t peple n the street, nticing whse garden was vergrwn, finding charm even in the pubs I had nce
dismissed. What’s mre, where I’d nce hurried t leave, thers are nw rushing t arrive. Artists, creatives, and technlgists have been priced ut f Lndn and are puring t Thanet, bringing
new ideas and drive. Nw, when I head back hme, I feel a mixture f pride and mild wnder: the place I nce thught I’d utgrwn has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting.
I’ll keep returning t Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like peple, can grw withut lsing their essence. I’ve cme t lve Thanet as mre than just the
hme I left; it is nw the place it cntinues t becme.

It might seem strange that in an infrmatin-rich wrld, peple ften try their best t avid finding ut abut certain things. Whether it’s skipping a fllw-up dctr’s appintment r
refusing t read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: “the Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird suppsedly burying its head in the sand. Researchers at the University f Chicag set ut t understand when and why this ccurs.
In ne experiment, children aged frm 5 t 10 were asked t imagine their favrite and least favrite candy. Then came the chice: Wuld they like t watch a vide abut why eating that
candy was bad fr their teeth? Children at the age f 5 r 6 wanted t knw — gd r bad, the infrmatin itself was exciting. Older children, hwever, hesitated. They were much less
interested in hearing abut the dwnsides ftheir favrite treat, thugh they had n prblem learning why their least favrite candy was bad.
S why d children transfrm frm fearless learners int strategic aviders? The answer
lies in emtins. Infrmatin is nt neutral (中立的) — it ften carries cnsequences fr hw we feel. News abut ur health, abilities, r beliefs can trigger disappintment, anxiety, r shame. By aviding knwledge, peple prtect themselves, at least in the shrt term, frm negative emtins.
Saving urselves frm pain can be prtective, yet when avidance becmes habitual, the
csts can utweigh the benefits. At a persnal level, refusing t learn imprtant medical
infrmatin can endanger health. At a scietal level, avidance may entrench plitical divides r
stubbrn mindsets. When peple deliberately tune ut perspectives that challenge their wrldview, they lse pprtunities fr grwth, understanding, and cnnectin.
At its cre, the Ostrich Effect reveals smething deeply human. We are curius creatures,
but als fragile nes. We want t knw, yet we fear what knwing might mean. This push and pull shapes ur decisins every day. This is why researchers stress the imprtance f teaching children nt nly t embrace curisity, but als t develp resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance t learn, adapt, and succeed.
8 ．Which f the fllwing shws the “Ostrich Effect”?
A ．A patient checking drug side effects.
B ．A player blaming thers fr his failure.
C ．A runner drpping ut f a fierce race.
D ．A student refusing t check his test scres.
9 ．Why des the “Ostrich Effect” ccur?
A ．T build up self-cnfidence. B ．T avid psychlgical pain.
C ．T screen useless infrmatin. D ．T develp independent thinking.
10 ．What des the underlined wrd “entrench” in paragraph 4 mean?
A ．deepen. B ．create. C ．remve. D ．settle.
11 ．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A ．Infrmatin Explsin: A Mdern Crisis
B ．The Ostrich Effect: Why We Avid Facts
C ．Emtins: The Key t Strategic Learning
D ．The Ostrich Effect: Cmfrt Cmes First

Scientists have lng explred t turn the mechanical energy f raindrps int electricity.
Hwever, traditinal drplet (液滴) generatrs have prblems like being heavy, expensive, and
hard t make in large sizes. A team frm Nanjing University f Aernautics and Astrnautics has created a new flating drplet electricity generatr. It uses water in its structure, making it lighter, cheaper and mre ec-friendly.
Unlike mst existing generatrs that use slid platfrms and metal electrde (电极), the new device flats n water. Water here wrks bth as a supprt and a cnductive electrde. This special design cuts the device’s weight by abut 80% and its cst by nearly half, while it still
prduces as much electricity as traditinal systems.
When a raindrp hits the flating layer f the generatr, the water belw takes in the impact and helps the drp spread ut. At the same time, ins (离子) in the water carry electric charges.
Tgether, these things let the generatr make abut 250 vlts f electricity frm ne raindrp. The generatr als has smart drainage hles. These hles use water’s surface tensin t remve extra water withut letting it flw back, s the generatr wrks stably. It can als wrk well in different temperatures and salt levels, even in natural lake water. Its special structure makes it strng
enugh fr bad envirnments.
Anther advantage f this new technlgy is its capacity fr large-scale prductin.
Researchers built a 0.3-square-meter mdel, which is much bigger than earlier nes. It can pwer 50 LEDs at the same time and charge small batteries in minutes. This means it culd be used t pwer small electrnic devices and sensrs n lakes r near the sea, withut taking up any land.
Prfessr Wanlin Gu, wh led the study, said this “nature-integrated” design is a big step fr cheap and light hydrpwer systems. These systems can wrk with slar and wind pwer.
Besides making electricity, the technlgy can als help mnitr water envirnments, like
pwering sensrs that check water quality. Of curse, there are still challenges. Fr example, raindrps fall unevenly, and the generatr’s lng-term utdr use needs mre testing. But this flating generatr is still an imprtant prgress fr practical hydrpwer use.
12 ．What is the main advantage f the flating generatr ver traditinal nes?
A ．It uses ec-friendly metal electrdes. B ．It prduces higher vltage per raindrp.
C ．It wrks efficiently in desert envirnments. D ．It reduces weight and cst significantly.
13 ．What’s Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A ．The materials used t make the new generatr.
B ．The wrking envirnment f the new generatr.
C ．The wrking principle and strengths fthe new generatr.
D ．The differences between the new generatr and traditinal nes.
14 ．The 0.3-square-meter mdel in Para 4 demnstrates .
A ．the generatr’s pwerful capacity B ．the larger size f traditinal versins
C ．the reliability f utdr peratins D ．the ability t mnitr the water quality
15 ．What is the authr’s attitude tward the new generatr?
A ．Dubtful abut its practical value.
B ．Uncncerned abut its technical details.
C ．Cautiusly ptimistic abut its future use.
D ．Cnfident that it will replace ther energy surces.

Beat the heat — Hw t stay cl when temperatures sar
Maybe yu’re ne f thse peple wh peel ff a sweater when everyne else is
cmplaining that it’s chilly. 16 The pint is, there’s n single temperature that can be pinpinted (明确指出) as cmfrtable fr everyne.
“What temperature peple start t becme uncmfrtable at is really individual and
variable,” says S. Tny Wlf, PhD, assistant prfessr at the University f Gergia. 17 It als relies n things like humidity and air flw. Plus, cmbinatins f factrs unique t
individuals — age, gender, bdy mass, medical cnditins and medicatins — affect hw we
experience temperature. And frtunately, there are many things we can d t stay cmfrtable in spite f the heat.
18 “Sweating is hw we regulate heat,” says Rbert Kenefick, PhD, prfessr at the University f Massachusetts. “Drinking plain, cl water r fluids with electrlytes (like sprts drinks) helps.”
Chse clthing that’s right — light fabrics, light clrs — and lse. Lse clthing allws fr better airflw and helps keep yu cl. 19
Keep windws cvered with shades, blinds r curtains. Think f hw a car with clsed
windws heats up when left sitting in sunlight — it’s called the greenhuse effect. The same thing can happen at hme if uncvered windws trap sunlight and heat inside.
Keep a spray bttle handy. Spraying yurself with cl r cld water and then sitting r
standing near a fan can help yur bdy evaprate (蒸发) sweat and dissipate (消散) heat thrugh yur skin. ____20____ “The mre f yur bdy surface areas that yu cl, the better ff yu're ging t be,” says Wlf.
A ．Drink plenty f water.
B ．If yu are really ht, take a cld bath r shwer.
C ．Use fans t keep the air cnstantly flwing indrs.
D ．G ut earlier in the day when it’s cler r later at night.
E ．But wrkut clthing made frm new fabrics is als a gd chice.
F ．In fact, ur perceptin f heat and cld desn’t just depend n the temperature.
G ．Or maybe yu’re the persn wh’s putting n a sweater when thers say it’s t ht.

46 ．Pssible versin:
As fr the elective curses t be ffered in ur schl, I strngly believe they shuld be designed mainly accrding t students ’ interests.
Cmpared with required subjects, elective curses are meant t braden students ’ hrizns rather than simply imprve test scres. When allwed t chse curses they are truly interested in, students are mre likely t learn actively instead f passively cmpleting tasks. This nt nly increases learning efficiency but brings ut their strengths and talents. What’s mre,
interest-riented curses can reduce study pressure and prvide students with pprtunities t relax and think creatively, which is especially imprtant in a highly cmpetitive learning
envirnment.
Therefre, fcusing n students ’ interests will better serve the purpse f elective curses and cntribute t students ’ all-rund develpment.
