My sketchbk sn filled with simple but lvely (17) —mrning light n the hills, small animals mving sftly, and birds landing lightly n the rcks.

A few weeks later, her new painting lked mre natural and full f life. When we hung it near the windw, a butterfly passed by slwly, as if giving us the same message:true art cmes frm careful watching, nt frm simple (20) .

A
Tm sat at his desk, staring at his hmewrk. He was a bit dwn. Earlier that evening, he had argued with his dad abut using AI t finish his wrk. "Yu have used it t much," his dad had said. "It's useful, but if yu use it fr everything, yu wn't learn t think fr yurself." Tm knew his dad was right.
That night, Tm came t the bedrm, his heart beating fast. He tk a deep breath and entered. "Dad, can we talk？" he asked. His dad smiled and ndded. Tm said, "I was wrng t use AI fr all my hmewrk.

Finally, Friday came. Tm handed in his histry reprt, written cmpletely by himself. When he gt it back, he culd hardly believe it—he gt an A！His teacher even praised his careful thinking and creative ideas.

In many ways, ur memries define (定义) ur sense f self. Yu first have a sense f yurself early in life, perhaps as yung as 18 mnths, when yu recgnize that the little baby yu see in the mirrr is really yu, and nt anther child. As yu prgress thrugh childhd and int teenage years, yu start t develp a set f views abut yur identity (身份), including hw yur bdy lks and perfrms, yur abilities, yur persnality and yur place in sciety.
While we are grwing up, we start t create ur wn descriptins abut the events we have gne thrugh, r what I call the “life stry”. Our identities are shaped by ur life stries, as the memries f these stries gradually becme a part f ur sense f self. Of all these memries, the mst imprtant are “self-defining memries”. They are remembered mst clearly and can help t build up ur verall sense f self mst greatly.
Learning t recgnize yur wn self-defining memries can help yu gain imprtant insights abut yur identity. The easiest way t discver yur wn self-defining memries is by thinking abut the events in yur life that yu are mst likely t tell ther peple abut when they say “tell me a little abut yurself”.
Hwever, self-defining memries are always changing as yu experience mre events. They may vary accrding t yur age and what yu care abut in present life.
In a study, scientists cmpared lder adults with cllege students. They fund that lder adults were mre likely t feel mre psitively (正面地) abut their self-defining memries, even if the memries were f events that were negative in nature. A similar study als suggests that lder adults have fund ways t make sense ut f their life stries. They turn memries f trubling events int psitive stries, and in this way, they make peace with their past struggles (挣扎). Fr yunger adults, trubling events cause them t experience mre pain when they recall them. As scientists have discvered, a self-defining memry des nt have t be psitive in rder fr yu t grw frm it. It’s nt the event, but the meaning yu make ut f the event, that affects (影响) yur sense f well-being.
Discvering yur self-defining memries is an imprtant step in dealing with yur life experiences. By recgnizing and making sense ut f past events, yur identity can cntinue t grw and imprve hw yu see yurself, bth nw, and in the future.
24.What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Our self-defining memries have little t d with age.
B. Our wn descriptins f life experiences shape ur identity.
C. We shuld share psitive life stries when intrducing urselves.
D. We start t have self-defining memries when we are 18 mnths ld.
25.Frm the studies mentined in Paragraph 5, we knw ________.
A. imprtant events can be changed by time
B. lder adults have few trubling life events
C. making sense ut f memries helps us t grw
D. self-discvery happens during psitive experiences
26.Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Self-defining memries: Hw thers get t knw yu
B. Self-defining memries: A cllectin f pleasant memries
C. Self-defining memries: A great way t understand yurself
D. Self-defining memries: Describing yur best self t the wrld

Almst everyne has experienced the uncmfrtable feeling f being misunderstd. A girl, fr example, sends a shrt message t her friend because she is busy, but the friend thinks she is angry. Or a mther asks her sn t study harder ut f care, yet the sn believes she desn’t trust him. A teacher may simply ask a student t hand in hmewrk, but the student thinks that the teacher dislikes him.
Misunderstandings like these can cause serius results. They may hurt friendships, create arguments in families, r make peple nt believe each ther. When smene feels peple are wrng abut them, they may becme sad, angry, r even stp expressing their true thughts. In class, a student wh is ften misunderstd may stp asking questins r taking part in grup wrk. What makes things wrse is that misunderstandings ften grw quietly, and peple may nt realize the prblem until it becmes difficult t fix.
One reasn fr misunderstandings is that peple see the same situatin differently. Our past experiences, feelings and wrries all change hw we hear wrds. Anther reasn is that we ften make quick guesses withut checking the facts. We think we already knw what the ther persn means, s we stp listening. Smetimes, peple keep their feelings inside because they are afraid f being laughed at. As a result, small prblems turn int bigger nes. Facing these facts can be uncmfrtable, but it is imprtant if we want t build strnger relatinships.
Recgnizing misunderstandings is the first step t change. When we slw dwn, listen carefully, and ask questins, we can better understand what thers truly mean. Simple sentences like “Did yu mean…” r “I feel this way when yu say that” can pen the dr t real cmmunicatin. Research shws that empathy can help stp many misunderstandings. This feeling fr thers helps us ntice when peple are sad r wrried and makes us try t understand their feelings. These ways f listening, asking and caring help us think befre reacting and give thers a chance t explain themselves.
The key t slving misunderstandings lies in kindness t urselves and thers. Everyne makes mistakes in cmmunicatin. By creating an envirnment where peple feel safe t speak, we can break dwn walls. When we understand that misunderstandings are a cmmn part f life, it becmes easier t talk penly, fix relatinships, and grw tgether.
27.Why des the writer use the examples in Paragraph 1?
A. T stress that misunderstandings can cause prblems.
B. T answer why peple send shrt messages t thers.
C. T cmpare different ways t cmmunicate with thers.
D. T shw that misunderstandings ften happen in daily life.
28.What des the wrd “empathy” in Paragraph 4 mst prbably mean?
A. A way t start cnversatins.
B. A study n misunderstandings.
C. A feeling f understanding hw thers feel.
D. A habit f asking questins when cmmunicating.
29.Which f the fllwing wuld the writer mst prbably agree with?
A. Staying quiet is the way t stp arguments.
B. Guessing quickly helps slve misunderstandings.
C. Open cmmunicatin helps stp many misunderstandings.
D. Misunderstandings happen because peple lie t each ther.
30.What is the writer’s main purpse in writing the passage?
A. T stp peple t make cmmunicatin mistakes.
B. T advise readers hw t express themselves clearly.
C. T explain why misunderstandings are ften difficult t fix.
D. T tell peple hw t fix misunderstandings and cmmunicate well.
