Voluntary Work
Three middle school students from Shanghai shared their meaningful experiences in voluntary work during the summer holidays. Annie, 14, spent two weeks at Starlight Children’s Hospital, where she organized a “Color Your Dream” painting competition for young patients. One of the participants, 12-year-old Cindy, dreamed of painting the cherry blossom park near her home but was too weak to visit. Annie took daily photos of the park’s changing blossoms, printed them, and helped Cindy create a vibrant painting. “Cindy’s eyes lit up when she saw the final work,” Annie recalled. “It showed me how small actions can bring joy to others.”
Betty, along with her mother, volunteered at the Happy Home Orphanage. There, they met Vivien, a quiet girl whose parents died in a traffic accident. Betty spent hours listening to Vivien’s stories and teaching her origami. “At first, she hardly spoke,” Betty said. “But after folding a paper crane together, she opened up and shared her favorite book with me.” The pair now write letters weekly, proving that voluntary work can build lasting connections.
Mark joined a community project for disabled children. He worked with Tim, a 13-year-old boy who lost mobility in his legs after a fall. Mark taught Tim to play the ukulele, using music to help him regain confidence. “Tim’s first song was ‘Over the Rainbow,’ and when he played it, his smile was unforgettable,” Mark said. The project also organized a charity concert, raising 3,000 yuan to buy adaptive equipment for the children.
Through these experiences, the students learned that voluntary work is not just about giving time—it’s about creating meaningful bonds. “Every child I met taught me something new,” Annie said. “I realized we gain as much as we give.”

A. Cindy’s love for cherry blossoms
B. Cindy’s family background
C. The hospital’s painting competition
D. Cindy’s inability to leave the hospital
27. How did Betty help Vivien open up
A. By writing letters daily
B. By teaching her origami
C. By sharing her favorite book
D. By organizing a concert
28. What is the main message of the passage

B. Teenagers can make a difference through empathy
C. Painting and music are powerful therapies
D. Orphanages need more volunteers
Body Language
Debbie and Simon’s part-time jobs at a travel agency taught them a valuable lesson about communication. For weeks, customers consistently chose Debbie over Simon, leaving him puzzled. One day, their manager, Mr. Yang, pulled Simon aside. “It’s not about what you say—it’s about how you present yourself,” he explained. “Your body language speaks louder than words.”
Simon observed Debbie: she stood upright, made eye contact, and greeted clients with a warm smile. In contrast, he often slouched, avoided looking up, and sighed when customers approached. “Body language includes your posture, gestures, and even the way you smile,” Mr. Yang said. “Debbie’s open stance makes people feel welcome, while your closed-off behavior suggests indifference.”
Determined to improve, Simon practiced sitting up straight and maintaining eye contact. He even studied videos of effective communicators. One morning, a young woman approached his desk. To his surprise, it was his sister, Lily. “I almost didn’t recognize you!” she said. “You look so much friendlier today.”
This experience highlights the power of nonverbal communication. In Western cultures, direct eye contact signals confidence and honesty, while in some Asian societies, lowering the eyes shows respect. “The key is to be aware of your body language and adapt it to the situation,” Mr. Yang advised. “A simple smile can bridge gaps and build trust.”
29. Why did customers prefer Debbie
A. She had better product knowledge
B. Her voice was more friendly
C. Her body language was inviting
D. She offered faster service
30. What did Simon do to improve
A. He took communication courses
B. He watched videos and practiced posture
C. He asked Debbie for advice
D. He changed his speaking tone
31.What can we learn from the story
A. Body language rules are the same worldwide
B. Slouching is a sign of respect in some cultures
C. Eye contact is unnecessary in casual conversations
D. Small changes in posture can affect others’ perceptions
Traditional Skills
In the quiet fishing village of Lijiang, 68-year-old Wang Damin continues to practice cormorant fishing, a tradition dating back over a thousand years. Using trained cormorants, he catches fish in the Li River, a skill passed down from his grandfather. “These birds are more than tools—they’re part of my family,” he says, gently patting a cormorant named Hei’er.
The process begins at dawn. Damin rows his bamboo boat into the river, where he ties a grass collar around each cormorant’s neck to prevent them from swallowing large fish. With a loud shout, he signals the birds to dive. They return minutes later with fish trapped in their beaks, which Damin collects into a basket. At night, he uses a lantern to attract fish, creating a magical scene on the water.
However, this ancient art is fading. Younger generations prefer modern fishing methods, and only a handful of villagers still master the skill. “My son works in the city,” Damin says sadly. “He says cormorant fishing is outdated.” Despite the challenges, Damin teaches tourists and schoolchildren about the craft, hoping to preserve it. “Each cormorant has a personality,” he explains. “They dive differently, just like people.”
For Damin, cormorant fishing is more than a job—it’s a living legacy. “As long as I can row, I’ll keep these birds by my side,” he says. “They’re a link to our past, and I hope they’ll be part of our future.”
32. What is the purpose of the grass collar
A. To prevent the birds from eating big fish
B. To control the cormorants’ diving depth
C. To identify each cormorant
D. To keep the birds warm
33. Why is cormorant fishing dying out
A. Lack of interest from young people
B. Pollution in the Li River
C. Government restrictions
D. High cost of training cormorants
34. How does Damin feel about the future of this skill
A. Hopeless
B. Determined to preserve it
C. Indifferent
D. Ready to abandon it
Life in the Future
By 2050, technology will redefine daily life in ways once only imagined in science fiction. The Hotel Whale, a floating resort shaped like a humpback whale, offers guests underwater suites with 270-degree glass views of marine life. “You can watch dolphins swim by while eating breakfast,” says manager Li Wei. Each room is equipped with a “sea sound” system that plays whale songs to help guests relax.
Homes will become intelligent and sustainable. Forever Green Houses feature solar-powered walls that generate energy and self-cleaning windows. “Our fridge automatically orders groceries when supplies run low,” says resident Chen Lin. “It even suggests meals based on what’s in stock.” The houses also collect rainwater for gardening, reducing water waste by 40%.
Transportation will be eco-friendly and autonomous. The CJ3, a hydrogen-powered vehicle, uses a mix of hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, emitting only water vapor. “I used to worry about my carbon footprint,” says driver Zhang Hua. “Now I can drive across the city without polluting.” The car’s AI system plans routes and avoids traffic, cutting commute times by half.
Yet challenges remain. Last year, a smart home in Beijing malfunctioned, turning on all appliances at once. And a CJ3 once took a passenger to the wrong airport due to a GPS glitch. “These issues are being addressed,” says engineer Wu Ming. “Future tech will be more reliable and user-friendly.”
As we embrace innovation, one thing is clear: the future will be shaped by how we balance technology with sustainability. “We aim to create solutions that enrich lives without harming the planet,” says Li Wei.
35. What is unique about the Hotel Whale
A. It uses whale songs for energy
B. Guests can swim with whales
C. It has underwater rooms with glass views
D. It floats on the surface of the sea
36. How do Forever Green Houses save water
A. By recycling wastewater
B. By using solar-powered pumps
C. By collecting rainwater
D. By reducing shower time
37. What problem did the CJ3 have
A. It ran out of hydrogen
B. It had a GPS error
C. It emitted harmful gases
D. It broke down frequently
38. What does “glitch” mean in paragraph 4
A. Error
B. Feature
C. Upgrade
D. Advantage
39. What is the author’s view on future tech
A. It will replace human jobs entirely
B. It needs improvement but holds promise
C. It is perfect and reliable
D. It causes more problems than benefits
40. What is the best title for the passage
A. Challenges of Future Technology
B. Sustainable Living in 2050

How to Develop Good Study Habits
Studying effectively is not just about spending hours at a desk; it’s about developing habits that help you learn better and retain information. Whether you’re a middle school student or preparing for exams, these tips can make a big difference in your academic performance.
First, create a dedicated study space. Your environment plays a crucial role in focus. Choose a quiet, well-lit area with minimal distractions. 41 Keep it organized with essential supplies like pens, notebooks, and textbooks. This helps your brain associate the space with productivity.
Next, establish a regular schedule. Set specific times for studying and stick to them. Consistency is key to building habits. For example, studying for 30 minutes each evening after dinner is more effective than cramming for hours the night before a test. 42 Your brain needs time to process and store information.
Another important habit is active learning. Instead of passively reading notes, engage with the material. Take notes in your own words, ask questions, or explain concepts to a friend. 43 This method not only deepens your understanding but also makes studying more interesting.
Don’t forget to take breaks. Research shows that the brain can focus effectively for about 25-30 minutes at a time. Use the Pomodoro Technique: study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. 44 This helps prevent burnout and keeps your mind fresh.
Finally, review regularly. Instead of waiting until the last minute, review your notes and homework each day. 45 This spaced repetition strengthens memory and reduces stress during exams.
By incorporating these habits into your routine, you’ll not only improve your grades but also gain confidence in your learning abilities. Remember, good study habits take time to form, but the effort is worth it in the long run.
选项：
A. This routine helps your brain get into a study mindset.
B. Active learning improves retention and understanding.
C. A cluttered desk can distract you from your work.
D. Short, frequent reviews are more effective than last-minute studying.
E. Use this break to stretch, drink water, or step away from the screen.

阅读下面短文，根据上下文和首字母提示，填写所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。
Friendship is a precious bond that enriches our lives. It brings joy, support, and a sense of belonging. Whether we’ve known someone for years or just met, true friendship is built on trust, kindness, and shared experiences.
In school, friends are often the first people we turn to when facing challenges. They listen to our worries and offer advice, making us feel less alone. For example, when I failed a math test last month, my friend Lily encouraged me to stay positive. She helped me review the lessons and p 46 for the retest, which boosted my confidence. Through such moments, we realize how much we need each other’s s 47 .
Friendship also teaches us important life skills. When we get along with friends, we learn to compromise, communicate openly, and resolve conflicts. Last year, my friend and I had a disagreement about a school project. Instead of arguing, we talked calmly and found a s 48 that worked for both of us. This experience showed me that understanding and patience are key to maintaining healthy relationships.
As we grow older, friendships change, but their value remains. Some friends move away, but good friends stay connected through letters, calls, or social media. No matter the distance, a true friend is someone who remembers your birthday, celebrates your successes, and stands by you during hard times. They make you l 49 when you’re sad and remind you of your worth.
In a world full of changes, friendship is a constant source of comfort. It reminds us that we’re never truly alone. So, let’s c 50 the friends who make our lives brighter and always be there for them, just as they are for us.
