There is a busy street corner beside a bus station where kids change buses going to and from school. It’s not a pretty place. There’s noisy traffic and the nearby buildings are gray and unloved. However, it has a patch (小块地) of beauty-a small garden called Pete’s Patch.
Pete is one of the kids who wait here to change buses for nine minutes each day. In the past, it wasn’t a fun or pleasant places There was nowhere nice to walk and the patch next to the station was littered with trash (垃圾). Pete had no choice because this was the only way.
He felt like he was wasting his life away. There was nothing to look at, nothing to keep him busy, and hanging around like that each day drove him mad. He knew he couldn’t do anything to change the bus company’s timetable; but he could make the nine minutes more enjoyable for himself and others.
He asked his mom for some trash bags. That week, he filled his nine minutes each day by picking up the trash. On the weekend, he asked his dad to drive down and take the trash bags to the dump (垃圾场). On Monday morning, the patch looked so much cleaner and nicer.
Then next week. Pete began to pull weeds (杂草). One of his friends came to help. Soon the patch was looking good, but some dirty words on the walls of the bus station were really making him angry.
Pete had an idea. He painted a mural (壁画) to cover the dirty words. When he started to work, more of his school friends joined him each day.
Now Pete and his friends are proud of that patch, and they sure aren’t going to let anyone mess it up. They have even planted some fresh flowers. While waiting for their next bus, they walk through the patch and collect trash.
One Monday, however, as he rode the bus to school, Pete looked, as usual, toward the patch. To his surprise, there was a sign on it. His friends had painted it. It read: Pete’s Patch.
22. Why wasn’t the arca around the bus station a pleasant place
A. Because there were too many people.
B. Because the flowers weren’t pretty
C. Because the walls weren’t colorful
D. Because there was a lot of trash.
23. What did Pete do to make the patch look nicer

I have three exams next week. So, I’ll spend most of the weekend studying. I’m worried about the exams, but they aren’t the only thing I’m worried about. Like most people, I’m worried about missing out on all the fun activities my friends will do.
I have serious FOMO—fear (害怕) of missing out. It is the feeling or idea that you are missing out on something important or enjoyable that others are experiencing. And a big part of FOMO is the feeling that your friends won’t miss you when you’re not there.
FOMO is a pretty common feeling, especially when people are going out more. Social media (社交媒体) makes it even worse. It’s easy to see other people doing fun things while you’re doing something boring. Don’t get me wrong—I also do fun things, but I still get caught up in FOMO.
Worst of all, I feel like I’m missing out on things I don’t even want to do. Even though I don’t want to go to a party, I still get FOMO when I think about my friends who are already there. When you feel like you’re missing out, it can be hard to decide if you even wanted to go out in the first place. It can make you do things you don’t want to. No one wants to miss a joke or see all the pictures when they weren’t there. But it’s important to take a step back and think about it. Would you have suggested that activity Do you really want to go, or do you want to go because your friends are going Do you have something else you’d rather be doing
Even though FOMO can be harmful to your life, it can also have some good benefits. I know a lot of people who joined clubs or took up new hobbies because their friends did. A lot of these clubs and hobbies have made people happy, including me. In that way, I owe (归功于) some of my school experience to FOMO.
So it’s best to avoid FOMO as much as possible. The best thing to do is to check in with yourself and notice how you feel. If you have a good reason for not doing something, don’t worry too much about missing out. Do what’s best for you, even if that means uninviting yourself from a plan. Your friends are your friends for a reason—they won’t forget about you.
25. What do we know about FOMO
A. Social media is one of the causes of FOMO.
B. People with FOMO hardly make very good friends.
C. People with FOMO won’t do anything against their wishes.
D. FOMO is the feeling that something enjoyable is happening.
26. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. We should always be with our friends, or they will forget us
B. We should follow our hearts and not worry about missing out
C. We should allow people with FOMO to go after their hobbies
D. We should closely watch what our friends do to avoid FOMO
27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Never Miss Out on Important Things. B. Take Part in More Fun Activities.
C. It’s Common to Get Worried. D. It’s OK to Uninvite Yourself.
D
Research shows that the discovery of exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) has changed science fiction (小说). Now, books and movies present these planets more exactly, making science fiction more important than before.
Imagine learning about stars in a classroom. You could start with complex (复杂的) pictures and facts, or you could watch the movie Star Wars where Luke Skywalker sees two suns from his home planet, Tatooine. Which will more easily awaken the interest of a sleepy high school class
Science fiction has always caught our attention and it has inspired (激励) scientists to go for their dreams. For this reason, it is sometimes used to communicate science to the public, even complex ideas. To be sure that this is a useful way, it is necessary to understand how science fiction shows actual science.
Emma Johanna Puranen and her team from the University of St Andrews and the Austrian Academy of Sciences did some research, studying a lot of science fiction works, including novels, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and video games to see how science fiction reflects (反映) real scientific discoveries about exoplanets. “Most stories that are set in space will finally have a scene (场景) on an exoplanet,” explains Puranen. “The reason for using exoplanets is that there was a huge change in our scientific understanding in 1995 when the first exoplanet around a sun-like star was discovered.”
“Traditionally in science fiction, mostly there have been Earth-like planets,” explains Puranen. “But what has changed since the discovery of real exoplanets is that the fictional exoplanets have actually become a bit less Earth-like.”
According to real science, many exoplanets are very different from Earth and often not in the “Goldilocks zone”, where conditions are friendlier to life as we know it. “I can guess that maybe writers of science fiction are reading all these headlines about worlds that are covered in lava (岩浆) or where it’s raining diamonds, which you see in the media,” says Puranen.
Science fiction, in a way, reflects the knowledge and discoveries of its time. This makes it a valuable tool for science communication. It can introduce people to new scientific ideas in an interesting and understandable way.
This research highlights the connection between scientific discoveries and creativity. While exploring the universe, science fiction can develop curiosity (好奇心) and make further research possible, making the subject of exoplanets an important example of how science and imagination improve each other.
28. The writer mentioned the movie Star Wars to ________.
A. explain what an exoplanet is like in a humorous way
B. present the result of the latest research about exoplanets
C. show an interesting way of sharing science with everyone
D. introduce a popular scientific movie by a famous director
29 How has science fiction changed after the discovery of the first exoplanet
A. It gives more attention to Earth.
B. It describes the Earth differently.
C. Science fiction has lost interest in explaining exoplanets.
D. Exoplanets in science fiction have become less Earth-like.
30. The words “Goldilocks zone” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean ________.
A. a space found on an exoplanet
B. an important part of our solar system
C. an area which is good for scientific activities
D. a place that provides living environment for life
A Driverless Vehicle
A driverless vehicle is a car, truck, bus, van, or taxi that travels on the roads without a human driver. They can guide themselves, avoid obstacles (障碍物), and get from A to B without anybody in it. Driverless cars can go wherever a traditional car with a human driver goes.
Driverless vehicles, also known as autonomous (自动化的) vehicles, robotic vehicles, and self-driving vehicles, can sense and get to know what is happening around them with the help of modern technology. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a computer software that makes smart machines think and act like humans. In this way, driverless cars can avoid obstacles and find the best road map for the vehicle.
Levels of the Driving Automation
Today, there are six main kinds of vehicles, from No Automation, Driver Support, Partial Automation, Conditional Automation, High Automation, to Full Automation. The sixth level, Full Automation, means a completely driverless vehicle that can drive in all situations completely on its own.
Safety of the Driverless Cars
Many people are scared about the thought of traveling in a car with no human driver. However, the artificial intelligence and sensors in a driverless vehicle do not get tired, angry, or sleepy. They do not make the trip dangerous because of high speed or drinking too much. Most experts agree that autonomous vehicles will become much safer than human drivers, especially when all the basic problems in the early period have been solved.
With Driverless Cars, Traveling Will Be Relaxing
Can you imagine what our roads will be like when all vehicles are driverless They will be connected to a traffic control center with information about all the roads. The driverless vehicles will be able to make sure that traffic jams never happen. In this way, it will give you a comfortable trip. Humans will be able to read, write, watch movies, eat, play games, and even sleep in their cars.
Many people say that there are many problems about driverless vehicle. Maybe human beings still have a long way to go to make the driverless vehicle much safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable.
