Fr years, 16-year-ld Ze Chen’s day began with a scrll. Befre she left her bed, Instagram’s reels (短视频) had flashed thrugh perfect breakfasts in Paris, flawless skin rutines and classmates laughing at parties she hadn’t been invited t. “I felt like everyne was living a better versin f my life,” she admits. By the end f 2025, Ze was spending mre than fur hurs nline daily, sleeping prly and snapping at her little brther ver nthing.
Her mther, a nurse, nticed the change first. “She stpped bringing friends hme and answered every questin with ‘I’m fine’— but her eyes weren’t fine.” A schl cunsellr suggested a simple experiment: cut scial media t ne hur a day fr thirty days and lg her md. Ze agreed, mstly t prve the adult wrld wrng.
Week ne was itchy. She pened the apps ut f muscle memry. Week tw felt “quieter”. She rediscvered sketching and started helping her brther build Leg cities. By week fur, her screen-time app shwed 58 minutes, but mre imprtantly her sleep-tracking watch recrded an extra 55 minutes f deep sleep. “I laughed luder that mnth than I had in a year,” she says.
When the trial ended, Ze didn’t rush back. She nw budgets 90 minutes nline, mstly after dinner, and leaves her phne utside the bedrm. Grades have imprved, but she values smething else: “I finally feel I’m driving my wn day, nt reacting t thers’ highlight reels.”
Experts say stries like Ze’s are n accident. The recent Missin Australia survey f 17,480 teens fund mderate users — ne t three hurs — reprted higher life satisfactin than bth light and heavy users. Dr Luise La Sala, lead authr, argues the real enemy is nt Instagram r TikTk, but endless, mindless scrlling. “Mderatin, nt prhibitin, teaches yung peple t be the bsses f their wn attentin,” she insists.
Ze agrees. “I’m nt anti-scial media; I’m pr-bundaries,” she laughs, waving a sketchbk filled with new characters — drawn during the hur she nce gave t her feed.
4.What des the underlined wrd “itchy” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Anxius t check her apps.
B. Unwilling t talk with thers.
C. Eager t accept new challenges.
D. Regretful t start the experiment.
5.What d we knw abut Ze’s experiment utcme?
A. She ttally quit scial media and felt separated.
B. She cnvinced her friends t delete all their apps.
C. She returned t her previus usage level immediately.
D. She fund a balanced rutine imprving her well-being.
6.What is Dr Luise La Sala’s attitude tward scial media?
A. It shuld be prhibited fr teenager users.
B. Its risks can be managed thrugh self-cntrl.
C. Parents shuld fully cntrl teens’ digital use.
D. It des great harm t students’ physical health.
7.What cnclusin can we draw frm Ze’s stry?
A. Less screen time means better grades.
B. Teenagers can cntrl their nline habits.
C. Scial media desn’t harm mental health.
D. Art is the nly way t lift teenagers’ md.

The Arctic, Earth’s nrthern freezer, is warming nearly fur times faster than the glbal average. One f the clearest signs f this rapid change is the shrinking blanket f sea ice that flats n the Arctic Ocean. Since satellites started watching in 1979, summer sea-ice area has drpped by abut frty percent, an area rughly six-times the size f Califrnia.
Sea ice is different frm land-based ice sheets. It frms when seawater freezes, creating thin plates that can be nly a few metres thick. Because ice is lighter than water, it flats and mves with wind and currents, cvering the cean like a bright white cap. That cap perfrms a vital jb: it reflects mst f the Sun’s energy back t space, keeping the planet cl. Scientists call this effect “albed”. When warming temperatures melt the ice, darker cean water is expsed. Dark surfaces absrb mre heat, leading t even mre melting — a vicius cycle knwn as ice-albed feedback.
Melting sea ice des nt directly raise sea level, just as melting ice cubes in a glass d nt make the glass verflw. Hwever, the lss f ice weakens entire ecsystems. Plar bears rely n sturdy ice t hunt seals; walruses (海象) rest n ice pieces between feeding dives n the shallw cean flr. As ice breaks int smaller pieces, these animals must swim lnger distances, burning precius energy and smetimes drwning.
On human cmmunities, the changes are mixed. Melting ice pens new shipping rutes, cutting travel time between Eurpe and Asia, but it als threatens the traditins f Indigenus (原住民的) peples wh depend n stable ice fr hunting and travel. Mrever, extra heat in the Arctic can disturb weather patterns far away, pssibly making winters clder in sme regins by shifting the plar jet stream.
Researchers use cmputer mdels, underwater rbts, and even sensrs attached t seals t predict future ice cnditins. Their wrk suggests the Arctic culd experience practically ice free summers by the 2050s if greenhuse-gas emissins cntinue t rise. Cutting carbn pllutin, mnitring wildlife, and prtecting Indigenus knwledge are therefre urgent steps tward slwing the melting.
8.Why is the ice-albed feedback described as “vicius”?
A. This prcess helps animals survive.
B. The cycle speeds up further melting.
C. The feedback lwers sea level quickly.
D. It creates new ice sheets ver vast areas.
9.What des the authr imply abut melting sea ice?
A. Swimming distance fr animals is reduced.
B. New fd surces are created fr animals.
C. The glbal sea level is raised directly.
D. Animals’ energy waste is increased.
10.Hw des melting sea ice affect human cmmunities?
A. It has bth psitive and negative effects.
B. It may lead t clder winters in all regins.
C. It mainly brings ecnmic benefits t humans.
D. It destrys the traditinal lifestyle f Indigenus peples.
11.What can be cncluded frm the researchers’ predictin?
A. Emissins have little effect n Arctic ice.
B. Ice-free summers will cme by the 2050s.
C. Rbts are the best tl fr ice predictin.
D. Cutting carbn can help slw Arctic ice lss.

Imagine sitting in a labratry, watching a mvie while an MRI scanner recrds the activity in yur brain. Minutes later, an AI system recreates blurry but recgnizable images f what yu just saw. This is nt science fictin — it’s happening right nw in neurscience labs arund the wrld.
In 2024, researchers at Osaka University develped a mdel that can translate brain activity int images. Vlunteers watched shrt, silent films while the AI learned t assciate visual patterns in the brain with what appeared n screen. Later, when participants merely imagined the scenes, the cmputer generated similar images — ghstly recnstructins f their thughts.
The implicatins are extrardinary. Fr patients wh have lst the ability t speak, such as thse physically-disabled by injury r strke, brain-t-image technlgy might ne day restre cmmunicatin. It culd als help scientists explre the nature f memry, creativity, and dreams. Similar research in the United States uses step-by-step mdels — the same kind f AI behind image generatrs like Midjurney — t sharpen and clrize mental recnstructins.
But nt everyne is celebrating. Ethicists warn that reading the mind blurs (模糊) the line between science and watching. “Our thughts are the last private space,” says neurscientist Yu Takagi, wh c-led the Osaka study. “Befre we pen it, we must decide wh cntrls it.” If such data were misused, emplyers r gvernments culd ptentially access a persn’s inner life.
There are als scientific limits. The AI desn’t truly “see” yur memries — it predicts the mst likely image based n neural activity. Human memry itself is imperfect, influenced by emtins and imaginatin. Cmbining AI recnstructin with imperfect recllectin culd even prduce false memries, a dangerus prspect fr law, media, r persnal identity.
Yet ptimism persists. Many researchers view the technlgy nt as mind reading, but as a mirrr t human cgnitin. By understanding hw the brain builds imagery, they hpe t reveal hw thughts becme visin, and visin becmes meaning. The dream f prjecting ur minds nt a screen is still distant, but each experiment brings that dream a little clser t reality.
12.What was the key achievement f the Osaka University study?
A. It prved human memry can be greatly imprved.
B. It helped patients recrd their dreams in clear detail.
C. It created images frm brain activity and imaginatin.
D. It develped a cmplex type f advanced MRI scanner.
13.Hw might this AI help in medicine?
A. Cntrl thughts t treat anxiety.
B. Erase painful experiences directly.
C. Stre patients’ memries permanently.
D. Help speech-affected patients cmmunicate.
14.Why d ethicists express cncern?
A. AI may take the place f neurscientists.
B. The inventin has little value in medical treatment.
C. It may harm mental privacy and create false memries.
D. The technlgy prduces t unclear images t be practical.
15.Which f the fllwing best describes the authr’s attitude?
A. Hpeful but cautius.B. Dubtful and critical.
C. Uncncerned and bjective.D. Wrried and negative.

Riya and Angela were best friends. They lived n the same street, studied at the same schl, and shared everything frm lunch bxes t secrets.
But as they grew lder, a nticeable change tk place. Angela std ut effrtlessly in extracurricular activities. A talented singer, she wn wide admiratin, varius prizes and high praise frm teachers. Classmates lved t gather arund her t enjy her sweet, meldius vice.
Riya felt left ut. She tld herself it did nt matter — Angela was her best friend, and her success shuld als be her jy. Yet Angela failed t ntice Riya’s inner anxiety and carried n as usual. Riya sensed a strange feeling taking rt in her heart.
It started small and subtle: the uneasiness when Angela was applauded, the ache when being cmpared with her, the fake smile when hearing gd news. Jealusy had crept int her heart quietly like a shadw.
One day, Angela came t Riya excitedly, saying she had been chsen t represent their schl in the inter-schl cmpetitin.
Riya frced a smile. “That’s really great,” she replied.
But that evening, she sat alne in her rm staring blankly, wndering: Why her? Why nt me? I wrk hard t. Why wasn’t I gifted with such talent?
Such thughts crwded in and brught tears t her eyes. They sn changed her behavir. She began t avid Angela. Their cnversatins grew shrt, her laughter became unreal, and Angela’s achievements annyed her instead f making her prud.
Angela finally nticed it. One evening, she went up t Riya and asked, “Did I hurt yu? Yu’ve been s distant.” Riya hesitated. The truth was hard t say. Part f her wanted t hide her feelings and pretend everything was kay.
