On a sunny weekend, a man tk his 10-year-ld sn fr a walk in a quiet frest. The by skipped ahead
excitedly, chasing a clrful butterfly flying amng green leaves, his little hands waving gently as he ran. Suddenly,
his ft caught n a thick rt hidden under the sft grass.
He tripped and fell t the grund, a sharp pain shting thrugh his knee. He screamed ludly in pain, nly t
be surprised by a clear ech frm the nearby muntain — exactly his scream, lingering in the peaceful wds.
Curisity sn replaced the pain, and the by raised his vice t call ut a simple questin t the muntain.
But the nly respnse was the same questin ringing back frm the hard rcks in the distance. Annyed by this
seemingly teasing (戏弄的) repetitin, he shuted a rude wrd angrily, his face turning red with frustratin, and the
muntain eched (回 声 应 和 ) it withut hesitatin. Cnfused by the strange phenmenn that he culdn’t
understand, he turned t his father, wh had been watching quietly by his side, fr an explanatin.
The father smiled gently, telling him t pay clse attentin. He cupped his hands t raise his vice and shuted
warm praises t the muntain. Immediately, the muntain respnded with the same psitive wrds, clear and warm.
The by stared in amazement, frgetting his knee pain as his father explained the phenmenn.
Peple call this an “ech,” but it is mre than a natural sund — it reflects life itself. Life always gives back
what ne puts int it, a true mirrr f ur wrds and actins. T gain lve, kindness r respect, we must first ffer
these sincerely.

A. T calm his sn dwn. B. T teach his sn a truth.
C. T shw his lve fr nature. D. T make fun f the phenmenn.
27. What can we learn frm the stry?
A. N pain, n gain. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. D well and have well. D. Actins speak luder than wrds.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and autmatin are rapidly transfrming Finland’s wrkplaces, replacing bth
manual and expert-level tasks while bsting prductivity, accrding t a survey released Wednesday by the
Finland Chamber f Cmmerce. The survey, cnducted between Aug. 18 and 22, 2025, cvered 1,035 cmpanies
frm varius sectrs acrss Finland.
The survey fund that 22 percent f cmpanies have experienced a decline in manual labr due t AI, while
10 percent reprted a reductin in expert wrk, a sharp increase frm last year’s figures f 15 percent and 5 percent,
respectively. Despite the changes, the Chamber said AI-driven efficiency is als creating new ways f wrking and
new types f rles.
The impact f AI and autmatin is mst prnunced in large enterprises, the survey shwed. Tw-thirds f
cmpanies with mre than 250 emplyees said prductivity had imprved, while half reprted a reductin in
administrative wrklads.
Suvi Pulkkinen, senir advisr at the Finland Chamber f Cmmerce, cmmented n these changes: “These
changes are largely psitive, enhancing prductivity and freeing up human capital. But they als present challenges
at a time f high unemplyment and declining skills levels.”
Pulkkinen emphasized that jbseekers must be given pprtunities t imprve their skills t keep pace with
rapid technlgical change. While many cmpanies ffer internal training prgrams, 54 percent f respndents said
Finland’s educatin system fails t prduce enugh future-ready talent. She called fr a strnger fcus n
fundatinal skills and mre flexible lifelng learning, including shrt, targeted training prgrams aligned with
wrkplace needs.
Finally, Pulkkinen pinted ut that Finland has “a majr pprtunity fr prductivity grwth” thrugh
technlgy, but warned that this can nly be realized “if human skills evlve alngside it.”
28. What happened t the percentage f reduced expert wrk frm 2024 t 2025?
A. It dubled. B. It peaked. C. It declined. D. It hit bttm.
29. What des the underlined wrd “prnunced” prbably mean in paragraph 3?
A. Stable. B. Serius. C. Gentle. D. Obvius.
30. Why des Pulkkinen mentin the changes AI brings?
A. T shw the values f AI challenges.
B. T blame AI fr high unemplyment.
C. T suggest stpping AI develpment.
D. T prve she is ptimistic abut the future.
31. Hw shuld jbseekers respnd accrding t the text?
A. Fcus n basic jb training. B. Update their skills accrdingly.
C. Cut dwn administrative wrk. D. Depend less n new technlgy.

A grup f researchers has cnstructed guan indices (粪便指数) f emperr penguins t reveal the changes
in the species’ breeding habitats ver the past 11 years. Fr every ne degree Celsius rise in temperature, emperr
penguins shift their breeding site an average f 73 meters further, while each additinal centimeter f snwfall adds
anther 66 meters t the mve, accrding t the researchers.
Emperr penguins serve as early-warning indicatrs fr the Antarctic ecsystem and climate change, and
understanding hw climate change influences their habitat use prvides insights int the delicate plar ecsystem,
supprting climate actins under the United Natins Sustainable Develpment Gals (SDGs).
Hwever, it remains unclear hw the gradual climate change and extreme climatic events affect the spread f
emperr penguin breeding habitats due t the shrtage f systematic and lng-term recrds dcumenting their
habitat use.
Researchers frm Sun Yat-sen University and the University f Mntana develped guan indices. They
presented an autmated apprach t mapping emperr penguin breeding habitats frm 2013 t 2023 at a 30-meter
spatial reslutin using Earth bservatin satellite imagery.
“Our findings shwed that, under the pressure f climate change, emperr penguins are nw having t relcate
their breeding grunds frequently,” said Lin Hng, the paper’s first authr and a PhD student f Sun Yat-sen
University. “Unlike mst birds, emperr penguins cannt fly, nr d they build nests,” said Lin. “Instead, they rely
n a stable sea-ice surface t breed.”
The study fund that sme emperr penguins are cmparatively frtunate because their breeding sites are
sheltered by nearby islands, twering ice cliffs, r grunded icebergs, and they are within easy reach f pen waters
rich in hunting targets. In these lcatins, the penguins rarely change their breeding sites, which are ften reused fr
up t seven years. Yet where n such prtective barriers exist, emperr penguins’ ice hmes are far mre vulnerable
(脆弱的) t break-up, highlighting that climate change, castal tpgraphy (地形, 地貌), and availability f
hunting targets all interact t shape emperr-penguin survival.
32. Hw d researchers use the guan indices f emperr penguins?
A. T study their ppulatin trends. B. T recrd their hunting adjustments.
C. T track their breeding habitat shifts. D. T measure their mvement distance.
33. What limited the understanding f climate change’s impact n penguin habitats?
A. Lack f cnsistent data. B. Limited use f technlgy.
C. Extreme plar climatic events. D. Frequent relcatin f penguins.
34. Why d sme emperr penguins keep their breeding sites unchanged?
A. They can build strnger nests. B. They are less sensitive t warming.
C. Their habitats prvide enugh fd. D. Their habitats are naturally sheltered.
35. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Climate Threats t Antarctic Wildlife B. Secrets f Emperr Penguin Breeding Sites
C. Guan Indices as a Windw t Penguin Habitats D. Penguins Are Nature’s Climate Change Messengers

Avid negative peple

apart?”
Le tried t explain the cnvenience f vide calls and instant messaging, but Mr. Hendersn shwed n

As they sat tgether in silence nw and then, they started t have ccasinal chats — abut carpentry, abut

One afternn, Le nticed a newly finished wden pht frame n the wrkbench. It was breathtakingly
beautiful, carved with leaves. “This is incredible, Mr. Hendersn,” Le whispered in genuine admiratin. Mr.
Hendersn’s face sftened fr a secnd. “My sn used t lve my crafts,” he sighed. “But he hasn’t seen anything I’

Gd mrning, everyne. Tday I’d like t talk abut a new kind f delivery rbt. (18) These rbts are
already wrking in sme cmmunities in ur city. The rbts are small and lk simple. They can carry fd, small
packages and ther daily things. When yu rder smething nline, the rbt may bring it right t yur building.
Hw d they wrk? First, wrkers put the things inside the rbt. Then the rbt plans its way by itself. It can see
traffic lights and avid peple r bikes n the rad. It mves slwly and safely. (19) Many peple like these
rbts. They help save labr csts and make delivery faster. Als, they can wrk early in the mrning r late at
night. Hwever, sme peple wrry a little. They wnder if the rbts are safe enugh in busy streets. (20) In
general, delivery rbts are bringing small but helpful changes t ur lives. With better technlgy, they will
prbably becme mre cmmn in the future.
