Danny and Brandn were cut frm the baseball team. As their teacher, I thught maybe I culd ffer smething t ease their heartbreak. S I stayed up late and designed a game fr my English class.
Befre class, I 1 Danny listening with fcus and imagined Brandn jking but still playing the game. Hwever, within minutes after class started, it fell apart: Danny pressed the buzzer (蜂鸣器) repeatedly and Brandn talked ludly with thers while I was trying t 2 the game.
I paused and asked, “What's ging n?” I searched the rm fr a face that lked 3 . N ne met my eyes. When Danny pressed the buzzer again and Brandn laughed, I remved them frm class in 4 . They never knew I had built that game fr them.
After class, I decided t talk t them, thinking if I said the right thing, smething wuld 5 . I said, “I knw yu can d better. But I can't want it mre than yu d.” They laughed, “That's nt ur fault.” “Yu're acting like lsers,” I said. The wrd 6 . The air in the rm changed. Danny's laugh drpped. Brandn lked away. As an English teacher, I've always knwn wrds have 7 . That day, mine hit harder than I meant.
After they left, I cried because I had said smething I didn't believe—and because fr a secnd, I did. Teaching high schl means the students wh 8

A
The "burnt tast thery" means bad things happen fr a reasn—they make way fr smething better 11 (cme). I wasn't a believer in this thery until 2013, when I 12 (fire) and had a tugh jb search. A friend helped me scre an interview fr a cmpany. Unfrtunately, I didn't get that jb. I was really upset, and it felt like an even 13 (big) setback. Hwever, mnths later, that cmpany had a majr crisis. By then, I 14 (find) my dream jb already. I've since applied this thery t my wn life and wrk.
B
When peple are grateful and are gd with things as they are, their physical health reflects that. Researchers ver the years pint t lwer stress, 15 (reduce) pain and better bld pressure as a result f being grateful. Gratitude has a strng psitive impact n psychlgical well-being as well, 16 benefits include increased self-respect, enhanced psitive emtins, and a mre ptimistic utlk n life. Just like a muscle, when yu exercise yur 17 (thankful) mre ften, yu're mre likely t see beneficial effects.

Instead, the rbt 19 (have) a flexible, humanlike spine (脊柱) and artificial jints that allw it t mve like a human mdel. This is thanks t Xpeng's custm AI rbtics architecture, which enables it t interpret visual inputs and respnd physically withut needing t first translate 20 it sees int language.

Fr much f my career, my fellw scientists nly saw my "resting science face", which shws the part f me wrrying abut cnference talks r funding. They didn't see the side f me that lves funny perfrmances. As a wman and mther, I felt I needed t prve my seriusness, fearing thers might view me as t busy with my persnal life t excel. My serius face wrked. I landed a jb at a great university and became a prfessr.
But I felt I had t divide myself in tw—the serius scientist in public, the funny persn in private. Hwever, the first break in my public persna came in 2024, when I participated in a lcal live strytelling shw. I tk a risk and described an embarrassing mment frm a trip t Thailand. T my surprise, when peple laughed, it felt like a hug rather than shame.
The experience encuraged me t experiment with being silly at wrk. S, when Hallween came arund, I delivered a lecture dressed in a pink animal cstume. I began kicking ff lab meetings by asking my graduate students what brings them jy. And I started the mnthly get-tgethers with clleagues, using dd utfits t set the md. T my surprise, adding fun and humur int my wrk life didn't make me less effective r credible. Students seemed t find me mre apprachable. Humur als helped me pen up with clleagues, which in turn led thers t be mre hnest and truthful with me.
But mst imprtantly, humr has made me strnger. Last winter, my funding frm the Envirnmental Prtectin Agency was suddenly cancelled due t the gvernment's science cuts. After the shck and immediate sadness wre ff, I turned t my playful side, writing several pieces f satire (讽刺) and letting wrkmates draw my attentin away with discussins abut a 1990s music vide. That's nt t say I was living in denial. I knew I needed t find new ways t pursue my gals in an increasingly cmplex funding envirnment. But making jkes and sharing laughter helped me stay present and reminded me f hw much jy I get frm my team, whatever the circumstances.
Ultimately, I have cme t realize that being real at wrk is nt a weakness, but rather a strength. Fr ther scientists, that may mean talking mre abut hbbies r families. Fr me, it's humur. Nw, mre than ever, it's time t laugh.

What d scial climbers and gssipers (爱说闲话的人) have in cmmn? My mther believes that bth are mrally suspect, a lessn we readily pass n t ur children: avid the cheater and the whisperer.
But stries simplify reality. The mst effective scial climbers and gssipers pssess a remarkable grasp f scial structure t navigate (导航) their scial wrlds. This skill isn't a mral failing; it's a cgnitive (认知的) skill.
Recent wrk frm my labratry shws that cgnitive maps—mental representatins f the scial wrld—shape ur critical scial skills. Scial success depends nt just n whm yu knw but als n hw well yu understand the invisible architecture f yur scial wrld. Mapping this is n small task, as scial netwrks are large and dynamic. Yet building such cgnitive maps ffers great advantages.
T better understand scial navigatin, my cllabratr and I develped studies t investigate hw peple build cgnitive maps. Acrss a year we tracked abut 200 freshmen's friendships and asked them t reprt their understanding f thers' cnnectins.
In ne study, we discvered that thse wh rise t the tp f the scial structure aren't the mst charming r utging—they're the best scial mapmakers. The mst influential peple quickly build mental maps f their peers’ cnnectins; thse initially influential but withut accurate mental maps f the netwrk did nt stay influential fr lng.
In a secnd paper, we examined whether mapmaking aids gssiping—a behavir that, despite its pr reputatin, can be an efficient way t quickly learn abut the ins and uts f the cmmunity. T understand hw humans pull ff this remarkable task, we wndered whether mapmaking helps predict where infrmatin will spread. Mental maps becme quite useful in this case, as they reveal tw key netwrk features: smene's ppularity and their distance frm the gssip target. They help find a gd friend—smene far enugh frm the target yet well-cnnected t spread infrmatin.
Hw des the brain build these maps? In ne f ur recent studies, we discvered that the hippcampus and entrhinal crtex—a neural (神经的) center knwn fr navigating physical space—als carries a map f cnnectins amng peple. The mre strngly these maps are embedded in the brain, the better we are at brkering cmmunity ties. If the brain needs t quickly figure ut where gssip might spread, knwing where the ppular peple are psitined r the key relatinships that bridge the therwise discnnected cmmunities allws us t chart the sequence f ties that can efficiently crss the netwrk.
Strategic wayfinding isn't nly fr physical space. It is just as necessary t be able t effectively mve thrugh ur scial landscapes. Armed with a deliberately unclear map f their scial cmmunity, skilled scial navigatrs can d what n GPS can. They see the bridges befre they're built, avid the strms f gssip, and map ut a curse t cmmn grund.
28. As fr his mther's belief, the authr is ______.
A. disapprvingB. supprtive
C. puzzledD. uncncerned
29. Accrding t the passage, scial cgnitive maps can help ______.
A. cntrl the wide spread f gssip strms
B. memrize thers' cnnectins in scial grups
C. gain lng-lasting scial influence amng peers
D. chse well-cnnected peple as gssip targets
30. What des the underlined wrd "brkering" in Paragraph 7 prbably mean?
A. Breaking.B. Managing.
C. Experiencing.D. Recrding.
31. Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Hw t Interpret Scial Skills
B. Navigating Our Scial Wrlds
C. What Lies Behind Peple's Scial Behavirs
D. Brain Structures Shaping Scial Relatinships
D
Knwledge is dead. Nt in the sense that truth has disappeared r that learning n lnger matters, but in the deeper, structural sense that knwledge, as a stable pssessin has lst its central rle in human cgnitin. In a wrld where infrmatin is instant and increasingly available "n demand", the ld idea f "knwing" seems t feel like an antique f anther era.
Artificial intelligence has als changed the structure f cgnitin itself. Understanding nw unflds as an iterative (迭代的) prcess rather than a final state. We iterate facts and ideas that "cllapse the infrmatin functin" int a cnstruct that, in sme instances, has never existed. Insight emerges thrugh cycles, nt cnclusins, as knwledge changes frm fixed maps t dynamic webs.
Alngside this shift cmes the cllapse f academic mnvisin. Human perceptin, statistical inference, interpretive meaning, mral judgment, and machine-generated pattern recgnitin nw ccupy the same cgnitive field. N ne perspective is sufficient n its wn and depth arises frm the perspective f multiple frames and learning t mve amng them.
Educatin, hwever, is still largely rganized in the cntext f that fixed map. Subjects are separated as if the wrld presented itself in disciplinary divisins. Mastery is assessed as if memrizatin were a reliable indicatr f understanding. This is where the idea f the learning studi becmes mre than an educatinal experiment.
A studi isn't defined by a single discipline, but by a questin cmplex enugh t demand many. Think abut a studi centered n the bilgy f aging. Cellular mechanisms, statistical mdeling, mral questins f lngevity, and the scial implicatins f demgraphic (人口的) change wuld gather in a single cgnitive space. In these settings, students wuldn't mve frm class t class s much as mve thrugh cgnitive envirnments. Science, mathematics, humanities, and cmputatin wuld n lnger be neighbring divisins but interdependent ways f making sense f a shared prblem. Technlgy and AI wuldn't be present as tls f efficiency, but als as thinking partners that drive human achievement.
Re-architecting educatin in this way als reframes its ultimate purpse—and this is the mst critical pint. The traditinal endpint has been certificatin r the preparatin fr the next stage. In a wrld where knwledge is dynamic and AI increasingly cmpetent, that endpint begins t lk insufficient. What becmes mre cnvincing is the idea f cgnitive svereignty. This is the capacity t remain the authr f ne's wn understanding in the presence f an verlad f infrmatin and persuasive technlgies.
Fr teenagers, this is nt an abstract philsphical gal; it's develpmental. The teenage years are when abstract reasning and even identity are frming. An educatin that immerses students in integratin and iteratin can cultivate smething mre durable. Simply put, it builds a mind capable f handling uncertainty.
32. Which f the fllwing is a cre feature f the learning studi?
A. The intersectin f multiple dmains.
B. The use f AI as prductivity assistants.
C. The shift between physical envirnments.
D. The fcus n preparing students fr the future.
33. What can be learned frm the passage?
A. Educatin shuld aim fr autnmy f thught.
B. Abstract reasning is key t frming an identity.
C. Infrmatin accessibility facilitates knwledge webs.
D. Understanding is attained thrugh cycles f repetitin.
34. What des the authr mainly d in this passage?
A. Analyze current challenges.
B. Illustrate ppsing ideas.
C. Questin an ld practice.
D. Advcate a nvel mdel.

D yu ever feel a little mre relaxed after walking arund bareft n the grass r sand? 35 It's a wellness practice that allws peple t directly cnnect their bdies with the Earth and use its natural electric charges t stabilize them.
Earthing techniques fcus n recnnecting yur energy with the earth thrugh direct r indirect cntact. 36 Find ways t cnnect yur bare feet with the grund and pay attentin t the feeling f the land beneath yur feet. Play in the dirt: Dig int the earth and get the sil between yur fingers. Yu can create a garden in yur yard and directly link t the energy in the dirt.
37 That may replace the direct cnnectin yu'd get being bareft utside. Grunding carpets, blankets, and scks bring Earth's electrical currents int the hme r ffice by cpying the physical cnnectivity f a nature walk.
Earthing can be a free and relatively easy way t psitively impact yur physical and mental well-being. 38 Research shws that peple wh used grunding carpets fr fur weeks decreased exhaustin, sleep disruptins, and imprved length f sleep. They als reprted an imprvement in their depressin, stress, and pain.
If yu want t give earthing a try, there are a few imprtant things t remember.
39 It requires patience and perseverance. If yu're new t the idea f earthing, yu shuld find a prfessinal t lead yu. And nce yu've gt the ball rlling, g full steam ahead. The mre yu wrk n grunding yurself, the faster yu'll begin seeing imprvements.
While it isn't smething that shuld be used alne t treat a cnditin, earthing can ptentially be part f a self-care rutine.
A. Earthing, like ther frms f treatment, isn't a quick fix.
B. That's the idea behind earthing, als knwn as grunding.
C. When ging utside is nt an ptin, just grund yurself indrs.
D. Be bservant f yurself and yur surrundings and stay in the mment.
E. Experts suggest 30 minutes is enugh time t begin enjying the benefits.
F. These methds include taking a walk n grass, acrss the sand r in the mud.
G. Research shws a cnnectin between earthing and measurable imprvements in these health issues.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Just as we have an individual persnality, we als have a “time persnality”. The persnality captures ur relatinship t time: whether we're punctual (守时的), hw much time we believe we have, and specific time-related habits we may display. Accrding t Kristin Andersn, funder f Madisn Square Psychtherapy, time persnality is ur natural style when it cmes t managing time. Fr the majrity f us, ur time persnality tends t fall alng a range, frm very rigid t very flexible.
Here's a brief verview f fur cmmn time persnalities. A “time ptimist” tends t underestimate hw lng things take, leading t a pattern f nging delays. On the ther end f the range, we have the "time anxius" persnality. These peple tend t be anxius t begin with. They als assume everything might g wrng (e.g., traffic delays, getting lst). Therefre, they shw up t cmmitments far in advance. Thse in the "time bender" categry are driven by their emtins, r inspiratin. They seem t live in their wn persnal time zne, maximizing "flw state" when they've entered it. Fr thse wh identify with the "time blind" persnality, sensing the passage f time is challenging. They might start a task and, by the time they check the clck, an entire hur has disappeared smehw.
What exactly drives ur varying relatinships with time perceptin? Persnality is a key player. Peple characterized by cmpetitiveness, ambitin, and drive may be mre likely t be time anxius and rigid abut schedules. In cntrast, thse wh have characteristics like patience, calmness and cperativeness tend t be flexible and may lean tward being time benders. Neurbilgical factrs als play a rle. Higher dpamine (多巴胺) levels in the brain can speed up the brain's internal clck, impacting ur perceptin f time. Finally, age can affect ur time perceptin. This is because adults have fewer new experiences and slwer dpamine metablism (新陈代谢), which makes time seem like it's ging by faster than it actually is.
While each time persnality cmes with its wn set f drawbacks when nt prperly managed, the gd news is that we can wrk with these tendencies t manage ur time better.
40. What is time persnality accrding t Kristin Andersn?
41. What time persnalities are mentined in the passage?
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and
explain why.
With fewer new experiences and slwer dpamine metablism, adults perceive time as passing mre slwly.
43. Which time persnality fits yu mst clsely? Hw will yu wrk with it t manage yur time better? (In abut 40 wrds)
