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.
4. Why did the authr want t leave Ramsgate?
A. It ffered few jb pprtunities.B. It lacked mdern entertainment.
C. It stuck t values he disagreed with.D. It failed t satisfy his desire t explre.

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 f their 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 f the 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 capacityB. the larger size f traditinal versins
C. the reliability f utdr peratinsD. 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.

A Great Mnday
Mnday started ut well. I wke up n time, ate breakfast and did sme last-minute studying fr my first hur math test. I was cnfident f getting gd grades. Then I left my huse. Ten minutes later, I gt n schl bus with my friends. We were busy chatting abut hw we spent ur weekend. At ne stp, Fat Ryan gt n hurriedly. He tripped (绊倒) ver smene’s ft accidentally and THUMP! He fell dwn nt the flr.
Every ne f us n the bus lked n and laughed crazily. Ryan struggled t his feet, dusted (擦灰) ff his jacket and made his way t an empty seat. He tried t laugh with us, but his face was burning with embarrassment (尴尬). The rest f the mrning flew by. I did well in my math test. I read tw mre chapters f T Kill a Mckingbird in English class. It wasn’t lng befre we heard the lunch bell. I met my friends frm the cheerleading (拉拉队) team in the dining hall. Then I culdn’t help but ntice Ryan a few tables away, sitting all alne. He caught me lking. I smiled at him quickly and lked away.
When we had finished eating, we went ut t the curtyard t practice a cheer we wuld d at that night’s ftball game. After much practice, we finally managed t d the cheer perfectly. We decided t practice it again ne last time. Again, just like the rest f my day s far, the cheer was ging great. I raised my leg fr ne last te (脚趾) tuch. RIIPPP! I felt my jeans brken, in the middle f my backside (臀部).
I frze (呆住). I had n idea what t d but stand still. Then I heard peple burst ut laughing and I saw them pinting at my trn jeans. Trying t cver myself with my hands, I tried t laugh t, but I felt tears begin t well up in my eyes.
