A
Start the Day Right
Fibre plays a vital rle in ur health, but many f us aren’t getting enugh — nly abut
4% f UK adults meet the recmmended 30g daily. Granla (麦片) can be a great way t start
yur mrning with a fibre-rich bst, but shp-bught versins are ften pricey and packed
with sugar. This hmemade granla, hwever, is nt nly full f fibre, but als rich in nutrients,
plant pints, healthy fats, and prtein.
MAKES 6-8 SERVINGS Methd
Ingredients - Preheat the ven t 180°C, 160°C fan.
- 3 tbsp ccnut il - Spread the ingredients acrss a large baking
- 2 tbsp hney r maple syrup (vegan) tray, giving them a quick mix (dn’t wrry if the
- 1 cup mixed seeds ccnut il is still slid), and place in the ven.
- 2 cups mixed nuts - After abut 5 minutes, the ccnut il will have
- 1 cup unsweetened ccnut flakes and/r melted. Remve frm the ven and give
buckwheat everything a gd stir.
- 1 cup whle ats - Return t the ven and bake fr a further 30
- 1 tsp cinnamn minutes, stirring halfway thrugh.
- 1/2 tsp ginger - Once baked, remve frm the ven and leave t
cl. Crumble t yur preferred cluster size, and
transfer t an air-tight cntainer.

Fibre deserves far mre attentin. It’s essential fr a happy gut, steady energy, and
balanced hrmnes. This recipe prvides a variety f fibres t keep yu fuller fr lnger, slw
the release f sugar int yur bldstream, and supprt healthy digestin. This granla is als a
fantastic surce f sluble (水溶性的) fibre; this attracts water t frm a gel-like substance in
the digestive tract, binding t fatty acids and supprting healthy metablism (新陈代谢).
Fr ther easy ways t increase yur fibre intake, try filling half yur plate with tw r
three different vegetables (and sme fruit) at each meal. Adding nuts, beans, r lentils t dishes,
and keeping a jar f mixed seeds n the table t sprinkle ver meals, can als make a big
difference.

Steve Bagmanyan fund his calling in a wrkshp filled with brken instruments. But
every year, the shp brings bth jy and heartbreak. Due t budget cuts, the number f
technicians has drpped frm 60 t just 11, leaving them t repair instruments fr mre than
half a millin students in Ls Angeles public schls.
“The wrk we d is imprtant and needs t be preserved, but it’s becming a dying craft,”
said Bagmanyan, 60, wh runs the shp and handles pian repairs. “Children are ur future, yet
music prgrams are being cut acrss the cuntry.”
Hwever, there is hpe fr the shp. The Last Repair Shp, a shrt dcumentary featuring
Bagmanyan and three ther technicians, recently wn an Oscar fr best dcumentary shrt film.
The film cmbines their persnal stries with reflectins frm students wh have fund
cmfrt and jy in music.
Few peple even knew the shp existed befre the dcumentary’s release. This wrkshp,
in peratin since 1959, is believed t be the last f its kind in the cuntry. Bagmanyan and his
team prvide free instruments and repairs acrss the schl district, ften serving children frm
lw-incme families. Fr many f these children, public schls are their nly surce f
musical instruments, which wealthier families can mre easily affrd.
Since the release f the film, public supprt has sared. Dnatins have been made t fund
mre repairs and strengthen schl music prgrams in Ls Angeles. “Peple are inspired by
what we d and want t supprt a dying art frm,” said Ben Prudft, wh c-directed the
dcumentary.
Bagmanyan knws that a prly maintained instrument can discurage a child frm
learning. “If an instrument desn’t wrk prperly, a child might give up n music,” he said.
“But when yu knw the instrument is ging t a student wh lves it, it’s impssible nt t
smile.”
After 21 years f service, Bagmanyan says his cup is full, knwing that children may carry
a lve f music with them fr a lifetime. “I was planning t retire,” he admitted. “But nw I’ll
rebuild the shp t what it nce was and keep ging a little lnger.”
24. What is the challenge faced by Bagmanyan?
A. Old instruments. B. Declining number f students.
C. Lw prfitability. D. Shrtage f skilled technicians.

25. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The career achievements f Bagmanyan.
B. The ppularity f the dcumentary.
C. The unique histry f the schl district.
D. The imprtance f the repair shp.
26. Hw des the dcumentary impact the shp?
A. It enhances the shp’s public image.
B. It attracts new business pprtunities.
C. It helps sustain the shp’s peratin.
D. It prvides educatin t the cmmunity.
27. Which wrds can best describe Bagmanyan?
A. Ambitius and independent B. caring and persistent

C.
The message is repeatedly tld t us frm childhd: frgive peple wh’ve wrnged yu
because it’s the nly way t heal. Frgiving smene can indeed be beautiful, but if the
relatinship isn’t healthy, trying t “fix” things can d mre harm than gd.
Mst agree frgiving a wrngder means letting g f negative feelings like anger and
hatred twards them, expecting t put it all behind us as if nthing happened. Yet this pressure
t “mve n” can make us feel ur experiences dn’t matter, r, at least, that they matter less
than the situatin being smthed ver. This isn’t helpful.While it’s nt a gd idea t fcus n
negative thughts, recgnizing and prcessing all f that pain is an imprtant part f the healing
jurney.
Frgiving thse wh dn’t make us feel safe chips away at ur dignity. A 2010 study
called this the “drmat effect”: frgiving partners wh dn’t value us reduces self-respect,
alng with a decreased sense f self. The same applies t frgiving thse wh refuse t make
changes, prbably because the victims feel they fail t stand up fr themselves, like they’ve let
themselves be walked ver, as the authr puts it.
Things can get wrse if we keep n frgiving smene wh’s dne wrng. A 2011 study
lked at hw 72 newlywed cuples expressed frgiveness twards acts f ffence（冒犯）, and
whether this caused any changes in the ffenders’ behaviur. It turned ut that when a partner
frgave thse acts, the ffender was mre likely t keep ding them prbably because facing
the cnsequences f their actins is what mtivates peple t change their ways, and being
frgiven can be a kind f pass t avid making changes.
5
This reveals the tensin in always frgiving: it burdens victims t reslve issues, nt
ffenders.What if, instead f lking t frgiveness like a cure-all, we accept a situatin fr
what it is withut any sense f bligatin twards ur ffender? This way, healing will still be a
prcess, but it’s ne centred arund us and ur wn needs.
28. What d mst peple believe abut frgiveness?
A. It ffers a quick slutin t all emtinal cnflicts.
B. It always strengthens the relatinship between peple.
C. It means frgetting unpleasant things happening in the past.
D. It depends n the wrngder making meaningful changes first.
29. What des the underline phrase “chips away at” in the paragraph 3 mean?
A. gradually weakens B. accidentally destrys
C. carefully repairs D. intentinally ignres
30. What des the “drmat effect” in paragraph 3 explain?
A. Victims frgiving a wrngder increases their mtivatin t change.
B. Frgiveness plays a majr rle in healthy cmmunicatin.
C. Frgiveness reflects the ffender’s failure t insist n their bundaries.
D. Uncnditinal frgiveness may have a negative impact n the victim.
31. What alternative apprach des the authr suggest fr healing?
A. Cutting ff all cntact with ffenders.
B. Pretending the ffense never ccurred.
C. Frcing ffenders t admit their mistakes.
D.Priritizing ne’s wn needs and well-being.
D.
An AI-pwered rbt was able t separate a gall bladder (胆囊) frm the liver f a dead
pig in what researchers claim is the first realistic surgery by a machine with almst n human
interventin.
The rbt is pwered by a tw-tier AI system trained n 17 hurs f vide cntaining
16,000 mtins perfrmed by human surgens during peratins. When put t wrk, the first
layer f the AI system watches vide, mnitrs the surgery and issues plain-language
instructins, while the secnd AI layer turns each instructin int 3D tl mtins. In all, the
gall bladder surgery requires 17 separate tasks. The rbtic system has perfrmed the peratin
eight times, achieving 100 percent success in all f the tasks.
“Current surgical rbtic technlgy has made sme prcedures less invasive, but risks
haven’t really drpped frm previus laparscpic (使 用 腹 腔 镜 的 ) surgeries by human
surgens,” says team member Axel Krieger at Jhns Hpkins University in Maryland. “This
6
made us lk int what is the next generatin f rbtic systems that can help patients and
surgens.” “The study really highlights the art f the pssibility with AI and surgical rbtics,”
says Danail Styanv at University Cllege Lndn. “Incredible advances in cmputer visin
fr surgical vide with the availability f pen rbtic platfrms fr research make it pssible
t demnstrate surgical autmatin.”
But many challenges remain t make the system practical in clinical use. “While the rbt
cmpleted the task with 100% success, it had t self-crrect six times per case. Fr example,
this culd mean a gripper (夹持器) designed t grasp an artery missed its hld n the first try,”
Styanv said.
“There were a lt f instances where it had t self-crrect, but this was all fully
autnmus,” says Krieger. “It wuld crrectly identify the initial mistake and then fix itself.”
The rbt als had t ask a human t change ne f its surgical instruments fr anther,
meaning sme level f human interventin was required. The next step, says Krieger, is t let a
rbt perate autnmusly n a live animal, where breathing and bleeding culd cmplicate
things. “But with cntinued research, we’re cnfident that we can vercme these bstacles
step by step.”
32. What are the tw-tier tasks that the AI system is trained t perfrm?
A. Giving instructins and perfrming mtins.
B. Mnitring the surgery and issuing cmmands.
C. Analyzing vide and chsing surgical tls.
D. Imitating human surgens and separating tasks.
33. What breakthrugh des the new rbt achieve ver traditinal laparscpic surgeries?
A. Minimal invasiveness with n danger.
B. Near autnmy with high success rate.
C. Lw risks in cmplex surgical tasks.
D. Faster self - crrectin speed in peratins.
34. What may prve challenging in a rbt peratin accrding t the last paragraph?
A. Adapting t real-time variability.
B. Identifying surgical mistakes quicker.
C. Reducing human help fr crucial tasks.
D. Dealing with cmplicated surgeries.
35. Which f the fllwing title best summarizes the passage?
A. The Rbtic Surgery: Cutting Medical Risks
B. The Rbtic Surgery: Great Clinical Prgress
C. The Rbtic Surgery: Simplifying Surgery
D. The Rbtic Surgery: Success and Onging Issues

Few activities are mre engaging than strytelling. Students are primed t tell stries, and
teachers can design digital strytelling as capstne prjects (毕业设计). Strytelling naturally
ignites emtin, leading t memrable learning, and allws mvies t serve as summative
assessments.
Getting started requires guiding students t develp a script. 36 A key pint is that
digital stries differ frm reprts. Merely reciting facts creates a prduct easily generated by AI.
A better strategy is t ask students t wrap their learning in a narrative structure. Narrative
prvides a framewrk fr learning new infrmatin. Fr example, students can persnify a
cncept like ratinal numbers r a histrical bject. 37
38 They can plan their mvie using a strybard r tw-clumn script. Take sme
time t teach explicitly the cncept f “agreement”, r matching what the viewer sees t what
they hear in the script. Thinking abut this cmplementary prcess, and taking the time t plan
visuals and sunds, allws students t build audivisual literacy skills, t.
The mst imprtant cmpnent f a student mvie prject is the sund. Viewers verlk
technical flaws but struggle with pr audi. Students shuld practice scripts alud fr fluency.
39
During editing, remind students f agreement between visuals and audi. Start simply,
then encurage explring features like green screens. As fr audi, music has a pwerful
impact n strytelling because it tells viewers hw t feel. By discussing tne and md,
students better understand hw sng selectin affects the audience’s perceptin f their ideas.
40 Finally, ffer repeated pprtunities fr vide creatin acrss subjects. This develps
strytelling prficiency and fluency.
A. Meanwhile, they shuld cnsider clear recrding techniques.
B. Auditry effects shuld always be the fcus f student prjects.
C. In additin, prvide -free sund resurces fr them t use.
D. After having a slid script, students shuld mve n t planning their film.
E. Hwever, many students initially apprach it like writing a traditinal reprt.
F. Fr instance, using earbuds with micrphnes can greatly imprve sund quality.
G. Using universal stry structures, they integrate facts int a character’s experience.

Standing at the Plice Outpst Lake’s edge, I was fishing with Isaiah, my cusin, ur
fishing tackle bx nearby n the shre. Actually, I’d learned t fish frm my dad. He’d taught
mre t fish alne, in silence, lst in my wn thughts. Like meditatin. He’d taught me
everything I knew abut fishing. Then, he passed away.
“Jacb, where shuld I stand?” asked Isaiah.
“Be quiet r else we wn’t catch any fish,” I whispered.
Isaiah frwned, biting n his lwer lip, but it was “message received.”
“Why d I have t be s quiet?” asked quietly Isaiah. “All thse birds are making way
mre nise than I ever culd!”
I ignred him, pulling back n my rd and squinting (眯着眼睛看) int the glare f the
sun. Out f the crner f my eye，I caught a glimpse f a few great nrthern lns (潜鸟)
gathering tgether nt far frm the shreline. My mind traveled back t the past. My dad had
been a fish and wildlife fficer. He lved his jb, especially the part where he prtected nature
frm humans. When he returned, we sat n the cuch tgether, and he amused me with stries
f life n the rad. He nce mentined the ln culd easily stab (刺) peple t death with its
beak!
Suddenly, Isaiah’s vice brught me back, “Lk, smething was cming.” Fllwing the
directin he was pinting, I saw a ln, making sunds f pain, swam away frm the grup,
tward us.
Walking int the water, getting clser t the ln, we bth saw thin wire wrapped arund
its neck and bld spts by its wing. Fishing line maybe? Was it the hk n the line that made
it bleed? Was the ln asking us fr help?

Reaching dwn, I tuched its head, my heart racing. I culd see there was a shiny red
hk embedded in its bdy, and the fishing line was wrapped tightly arund its neck. Left like
this, the ln culdn’t survive. It was asking us t help! But if freed, wuld it stab us t death
