At the following class, Rita took out a roll of 15 . She used it to make two lines the width of the balance beam on the mat. “Maisie, I want you to practice your balance-beam routine within the lines of the tape.” Well, that’s easy enough.

An 8-year-old boy made his mother tear up with a very thoughtful gift for her birthday. His mother, Ashley, was moved while she unwrapped（打开）her birthday gift from his son, Hudson.
It was a gift box. Looking inside, she had a feeling of what she was getting. When she opened it, she was sure her guess was correct. Inside the box was a special gift, a girl doll, the doll her father gave to her when she had her eighth birthday.
Ashley always treasured her girl doll Molly after her father’s death. But after moving around several times, she couldn’t find it. She was sad and guilty（愧疚的）that she lost it.
One day, she had a conversation with her son about toys. Her son had a favorite little toy robot. And he was talking that if he ever lost it, he would cry and he would be so sad. Then he asked his mother if she had ever lost a toy—and so, she shared the story of Molly with her son.
She never imagined he would get her the doll or even take her story so seriously. It turned out that Hudson was a thoughtful kid. He was also good at keeping secrets carefully and planning a surprise. Knowing his mother’s story, Hudson started to search for the doll immediately. Hudson’s grandma helped him look for the girl doll. It was challenging to look for the old do ll Molly but they eventually managed to find it.
“His action really lessened the guilt I felt inside. I can’t believe how sweet he is. I’ll never forget this birthday,” Ashley added.
24．The girl doll was so special to Ashley because ______.

B．it was a birthday gift from her father
C．it was made by her son Hudson
D．it was her son’s favourite toy
25．After knowing his mother’s story, Hudson began to ______.

C
Microplastics（微塑料）are in our soil, our water, our air, getting into our bodies and causing health problems. Plastics are everywhere, and they’re not going away. Now, that may be changing.
A new environmentally-friendly shopping model was created. For example, in this model, you are able to buy ice cream in a reusable container（容器）. When you’re done eating the ice cream, you’ll throw the container in your personal reuse bin. The containers are then picked up by a delivery service, cleaned and refilled, and shipped out to consumers again. In other words, it’s the 21st century milkman to save the world from single-use plastics. This shopping model is called Loop. Already, two large retailers（零售商）are Loop partners and more may join the project.
While recycling is very important, it is not going to solve waste at the root（根本的）cause. “Our company collects the ocean plastics and put them into products making,” says Tom Szaky, CEO of TerraCycle, a company that is known for recycling hard-to-recycle materials. “But every day, more and more gets put in the ocean, so no matter how much we clean the ocean, we’re never going to solve the problem. That’s really where Loop came out. To us, the root cause of waste is not plastic, it’s using things once, and that’s really what Loop tries to change as much as possible.”
For customers, the process is designed to be as easy as possible. “The goal isn’t as much to get you to change, it’s instead to create systems that don’t make you change—but have you then solve the problem in the process,” Szaky says. “Making customers change is difficult. So the first question we asked in developing the model was ‘why did throwing rubbish win ’ I think it did because throwing rubbish is convenient and affordable.” If the solutions are not convenient, people will not accept them. Loop aims to be as convenient as throwing something in the bin. You don’t even need to wash the container, so it’s simple r than recycling.
Jennifer Morgan from the environmental non-profit organization Greenpeace said, “Greenpeace welcomes the ai m of the Loop to move away from throwaway culture.” But Morgan questioned whether companies worldwide are ready to change their business models. Anysway, this is an effort to change the problem of plastics and hopefully this model will work.
27．The second paragraph is mainly about ______.
A．what customers should do to solve waste problem
B．what benefits the retailers can get from Loop
C．how the new shopping model Loop works
D．how the milkman picks up the containers
28．What can we learn from the passage
A．Loop is designed to be convenient for customers to accept.
B．Companies worldwide are using the shopping model Loop.
C．Ocean plastics can be cleaned up by the shopping model Loop.
D．Customers have to clean the containers under the new model Loop.
29．What is the best title of the passage
A．Making Plastics into Products B．Recycling: A Falling Industry
C．From Throwing Away to Reusing D．Plastics: Hard-to-recycle Materials
D
Can you see the glass as half full, rather than half empty Are you always looking on the bright side of life If so, you might be an optimist.
An optimist is someone who is hopeful about the future and tends to expect that good things will happen. A number of studies have shown that optimists enjoy higher levels of happiness, better sleep, lower stress and even better cardiovascular（心血管的）health and immune（免疫的）function. And now, a study connects being an optimist with a longer life.
Researchers followed the lifespan（寿命）of some 160,000 women aged 50 to 79 for 26 years. They were divided into two groups by completing a self-report measure of optimism. Women with the highest scores were considered optimists. Those with the lowest scores were considered pessimists. Then, the researchers followed up with the study. They found that those who had the highest levels of optimism were more likely to live longer. So why is it that optimists live longer
One possible reason is that it could be related with their healthier lifestyles. For example, research from several studies has found that optimism is related with eating a healthy diet, staying physically active and being less likely to smoke cigarettes. These healthy behaviors are well known to improve heart health and reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease. Accepting a healthy lifestyle is also important for reducing the risk of other potentially deadly diseases, such as cancer.
Another possible reason could be the way optimists manage stress. When faced with a stressful situation, optimists will reduce stress levels and boost the power to take steps. They use methods to solve the source of the stress, or look at the situation in a less stressful way. For example, optimists will plan ways to deal with the matter, call on others for support or try to find hope in the stressful situation.
In short, the ways optimists deal with stress might help protect them somewhat against its harmful effects. Be the person who looks at the glass half full. Appreciate the little things in your life and face your problems with a smile and a take-charge attitude. Optimism is the best tool when it comes to changing your outlook on life.
30．According to the passage, who is probably an optimist
A．Tom is upset on rainy or snowy days.
B．Lucy is unwilling to ask others for support.
C．Chris keeps volunteering at the Nursing Home.
D．Marry believes she can solve the problem she meets.
31．What can we learn from the passage
A．People who see half-empty glass are more hopeful.
B．Healthy lifestyle will help treat cardiovascular disease.
C．Optimism is related with being likely to smoke cigarettes.
D．Optimists may enjoy longer lifespan than the less optimistic ones.
32．The word “boost” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to“______”.
A．share B．increase C．lose D．limit
33．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A．To call on people to be optimistic towards life.
B．To give suggestions on how to deal with stress.
C．To show the results of a study on healthy lifestyles.
D．To tell the effects of being optimistic among women.

Zhou Jingyi is a second-year postgraduate student from Inner Mongolia University of Finance and Economics, and 2024 marks her third year working as a railway volunteer, as well as her third experience with the Spring Festival travel rush.
As a local, she serves at Wanzhou North Station during the winter vacation. She began to participate in volunteer activities in 2019．According to Zhou, she was influenced by her mother to become a railway volunteer, “My mother works for public good, which leads me to get involved in volunteer activities.”
Wanzhou North Station operates 124 trains per day on average, with an estimated（估计）daily departure of 18,000 passengers and an arrival of 19,000 passengers during this year’s travel rush.
There are only six railway youth volunteers, like Zhou, working in the station, helping passengers after pre-job training. During the travel rush, she gets up at 6:30 am and arrives at work by 7:50 am every day. At the station, she provides passengers with services like helping them buy tickets and board the train, keeping order, answering questions, and dealing with the transfer. Zhou has to repeat to answer the same question from different people hundreds of times, but she never loses patience.
“It might cause my legs to ache and my throat to become uncomfortable, but the volunteer activities warm the people on their journey and paint my vacation colorful, as well as improve my ability in communication and expression,” she added.
The most unforgettable experience for Zhou was that she met a grandmother with a lot of luggage. “I helped her carry the bags from the entrance to the ticket gates. She kept saying ‘Thank you’ and gave me two oranges, telling me that ‘you look so much like my granddaughter’,” she recalled.
She said those were the sweetest oranges she had ever had. “This proves that warmth can produce warmth, strengthening my mind to be a volunteer.”
34．Who influenced Zhou Jingyi to become a railway volunteer
