Dreams ften take rt in the smallest crners f ur lives，lng befre we realize that they are quietly guiding us tward smething extrardinary.In Yerramala Palle，a quiet village in Andhra Pradesh's Kadapa district，a yung girl nce threw a cricket （板球） ball int the air，never knwing this simple act wuld ne day reshape her life.
Shree Charani grew up in a mdest family with her parents and elder sister.Frm an early age，she shwed a keen interest in sprts and tried badmintn，vlleyball and cricket. "I started playing cricket when I was in Grade ne.My family all lved the sprt，and that's hw my jurney began." Charani recalled. "I used t play with them in ur yard.It was nt until Grade 7 that my father bught me my first cricket kit，which made me even mre determined t keep playing."
Charani's daily life centered entirely n cricket practice.She gt up early every mrning t train，even n weekends.Injuries were unavidable，yet she never let them stp her.Once，she fell heavily and brke her right arm while playing，but she didn't cry r tell anyne. "Later，we nticed her discmfrt and rushed her t the hspital.She was s tugh that she didn't cmplain at all，" recalled her elder sister.
Hwever，her greatest challenge was nt n the field.Villagers ften questined Charani，asking why she had a byish hairstyle and spent all her time n a by's sprt.The message was clear：as a girl，her future shuld be marriage and family，nt sprts，dreams r ambitin.But Charani ignred these vices and stuck firmly t her dream.
Frm her quiet village t wrld cricket stadiums，Charani's jurney vividly prves what can be achieved when talent meets perseverance.Tday，Shree Charani is nt just an utstanding athlete，but a symbl f curage and determinatin.She shws the wrld that a dream nurtured in silence can light the way fr anyne wh dares t believe and pursue.

Arund a third f adults wrldwide fail t take enugh physical exercise.When asked fr the reasns，peple mstly cite tw key excuses：limited time and lw mtivatin.If yu have ever felt guilty abut an inactive lifestyle r struggled t balance a busy schedule，mini wrkuts knwn as "exercise snacks" can serve as a practical slutin.
"Exercise snacks" refer t shrt，intense bursts f physical activity，typically lasting five minutes r less.Unlike traditinal lng wrkuts that require fixed time and cntinuus cmmitment，these mini exercises need n special equipment r strict plans.Greatly flexible and cnvenient，they can be easily squeezed int tight daily schedules in simple frms like stair climbing，quick walking r brief mvements.
Exercise snacks may sund playful，but they're grunded in slid science.A 2024 randmized cntrlled trial cmpared stair-climbing exercise snacks t 40-minute mderate-intensity cycling sessins three times a week.Remarkably，the exercise snack grup — ding three 30-secnd stair climbs per sessin — imprved their fitness by 7%，while the cycling grup saw n bvius imprvement.
Beynd basic physical fitness，exercise snacks deliver brader health benefits.A systematic review published in the British Jurnal f Sprts Medicine fund that 3 t 4 minutes f exercise snacks cut peple's risk f all-cause death by 40% and cardivascular （心血管的） disease-related death by nearly 50%，cmpared t thse wh take n physical activity.They als mdulate bld sugar，lwering pst-meal sugar amng peple with insulin （胰岛素） resistance，a ptential risk factr fr type 2 diabetes.
Of curse，exercise snacks cannt replace regular lng-term exercise r mderate-t-high intensity training.Nevertheless，they prvide a user-friendly ptin t help rdinary peple stay active in their fast-paced lives.Small as they are，these tiny daily mvements can bring lasting health gains.By fitting them int daily rutines，we can maintain a healthy lifestyle with little extra effrt.

B. Flexible schedule and basic equipment.
C. High intensity and lw efficiency.
D. Fixed rutine and strict arrangement.
9.Hw des the authr illustrate the benefits f exercise snacks？______
A. By making cmparisns.B. By ffering specific examples.
C. By giving a definitin.D. By analyzing cause and effect.
10.What des the underlined wrd "mdulate" in Paragraph 4 prbably mean？______
A. Cnsume.B. Adjust.C. Resist.D. Increase.
11.What is the best title fr the text？______
A. Exercise Snacks Guarantee Better Fitness.
B. Hidden Risks f Inactive Lifestyles.
C. Tiny Mves，Great Health.
D. Small Changes，Big Difference.

Accrding t the Wrld Health Organizatin，there is a severe shrtage f mental health prfessinals.Rughly ne-third f peple with mental health cnditins，especially in pr cuntries，receive n treatment at all.Even in wealthy natins，many cannt affrd r access timely care.In respnse t this crisis，AI-pwered chatbts have emerged as a prmising alternative，ffering rund-the-clck，lw-cst supprt t millins wrldwide.
Pwered by large language mdels （LLMs），mdern chatbts have becme mre advanced，able t hld natural cnversatins and adjust replies t suit individual users.T bst their therapeutic effects，researchers have develped specialized tls such as Therabt and Ash.Therabt，trained with simulated dialgues between therapists and patients，cut depressive symptms by 51% in clinical trials，while Ash can select prper therapeutic methds accrding t users' real feelings.Researchers als fund users tend t feel less pressured t share persnal trubles with an AI than with a human therapist，making the tls a dependable chice fr daily mental health care.

T strike a balance between safety and technlgical innvatin，researchers are plishing prfessinal AI mdels and equipping them with crisis detectin functins.Meanwhile，gvernments are als taking active measures.Several US states have already intrduced laws t regulate AI mental health tls and guard against ptential risks.Althugh AI therapy cannt fully take the place f human therapists at present，it can act as a valuable first-line supprt fr peple in need.It will ffer reliable mental health care t thse wh wuld therwise have n access t prfessinal help，as lng as it is prperly regulated and cntinuusly imprved.

38. Stricken by plimyelitis （小儿麻痹症） at a yung age，I suffered a disabled leg and ugly teeth.These flaws left me extremely shy and insecure.I kept t myself and rarely interacted with thers.Thugh stuck in self-dubt，I was dearly lved by my father，wh always cmfrted and encuraged me patiently.
One warm spring，my father brught hme several yung trees and asked each child t plant ne.As luck wuld have it，I gt the weakest f them all，a thin，dying little tree with yellwish leaves. "Whever grws the strngest tree — r whever tries their best — will get a wnderful gift，" my father prmised with a gentle smile.
I als hped t win the gift，yet lw self-esteem weighed heavily n me.Lking at my pitiful little tree，I culdn't help seeing myself in it — weak，flawed，and destined t be left behind.The thught nly deepened my despair. "Even if I tried，this tree wuld never stand a chance." I muttered bitterly.Cnvinced I wuld end up failing，I refused t make any effrt.I planted the tree carelessly and watered it just twice.Later，I stayed away frm the crner n purpse.My brthers tended their trees devtedly t cmpete fr the prize，while I pretended nt t care.
Weeks slipped past befre I knew it.Out f a strange urge，I plucked up curage t check n my tree.Much t my surprise，the ignred little tree grew far strnger than my brthers'.My father said gently， "See？This little tree was the weakest f all，yet it has becme the strngest.Never judge a life by hw it starts." Then he handed me the prmised gift.
Fr the first time，a ray f hpe welled up inside me.One quiet mnlit night，unable t fall asleep，I reslved t g utside and lk after my tree.

37.【答案】Dear Jack，
I'm excited t tell yu I've wn first prize in ur schl's shrt vide cntest，which requires intrducing a Chinese traditinal craft in English.
My vide centers n clay figurines.I filmed craftsmen creating lively figurines，talked abut their lng histry and cultural meanings，and added warm flk music.While preparing it，I imprved my English expressin skills and gained a deeper lve fr traditinal art.
I feel hnred t let mre peple knw ur splendid culture.I'll send yu the vide and can't wait fr yur cmments.
38.【答案】 Stepping t the yard crner，I saw smene familiar tending my tree.It was my father，his tall figure bathed in the sft mnlight.He knelt dwn gently，carefully remving weeds and lsening the sil arund the tree with great patience.At that mment，everything clicked — n wnder the weak，dying little tree I had abandned had thrived s unexpectedly.While I was trapped in self-pity and cnsumed by my flaws，my father had been silently guarding bth the tree and my fragile cnfidence.Tears blurred my visin，mixed with deep regret and warm gratitude fr his silent lve.
Frm that night n，my life was cmpletely changed.I stpped hiding frm my imperfectins r believing I was destined t fail.Instead f yielding t a flawed start，I chse t embrace life with curage and ptimism.I began t take gd care f the tree every day and actively reached ut t cmmunicate and bnd with thers.As the little tree grew steadily taller and firmer，I als gained slid cnfidence and inner strength.Lking back，I came t realize a disadvantaged beginning culdn't define future grwth，and abve all，lve is the best nurishment f life.Criterin
