Dear Lina,
Last week, our school’s Environmental Club organized a creative exhibition called “Little Wisdoms in Life,” which invited students to share their DIY eco-friendly items.
It was an inspiring event! I participated and showcased a reusable shopping bag made from old T-shirts, aiming to reduce plastic waste. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and it sparked a lot of conversations on sustainability.
I felt proud to contribute a small idea that could make a big difference. It’s amazing how simple actions can help protect our environment.
Yours,
Li Hua

Some of the ants I saw seemed to be eating something. I chose the one that appeared to be the busiest, thinking it would be easier to follow. I crouched down near the kitchen floor, my eyes locked on the tiny creature. Initially, I thought it would just move aimlessly, but as I watched, I realized that this ant had a clear mission. It was carrying a small crumb back to its nest, navigating through intricate paths and avoiding obstacles. I followed it from the kitchen to the living room, amazed by its persistence and strength. The ten minutes felt like an eternity, and I found myself completely engrossed in the ant’s journey. I even caught myself cheering it on when it climbed over a particularly large crack in the floor.
I heard mom’s timer ring, and then, “You win, sweetie,” she said. I stood up, feeling a sense of accomplishment and awe. The challenge had opened my eyes to the world of tiny details that I usually overlooked. I realized how much I had been missing by being glued to my phone and TV. The next day, I found myself exploring the garden, watching bees pollinate flowers, and even helping Mom with household chores. The silence that once felt numbing now brought a peacefulness and a new appreciation for the simple things in life. Thanks to Mom’s challenge, my summer took on a whole new meaning.

More than 20 years ago, Yung-Chi Cheng, a Yale professor in drug development for cancer, had a pioneering idea: what if he could unlock the potential of ancient Chinese medicines for treating cancer What if he could design botanical drugs that would make traditional cancer treatments work better No one had done it before. Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course, because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky. But Cheng didn’t let the idea go.
Now, in a landmark moment in cancer research, Cheng and research partners are launching the first international clinical trial for a botanical drug, YIV-906. Shwu-Hucy Liu, a postdoctoral researcher in Cheng’s Yale lab, spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale’s library seeking the properties of Chinese herbs. She returned with Huang Qin Tang, a 1,800-year-old treatment for stomach illnesses, based on which the team developed a drug and tested it on one thousand mice.
What followed were years of additional testing of the drug's effectiveness for a range of cancers in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients. The positive effects displayed again and again, YlV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment, but also led to faster recovery and longer survival rates.
All they need now are larger data sets. When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now, YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products, which includes a malaria (疟疾) treatment developed from the Chinese herb qinghao, the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou.
It has been a long journey, but if Cheng and his team are successful, it could create a new approach for treating cancer. They called the new approach “WE” medicine, a combination of Western medicine and Eastern medicine. “It’s a totally new model. I’ve met with a lot of doubt, but think the results will speak for themselves,” Cheng said.
24. What did fellow researchers initially think of Cheng’s research
A. Creative. B. Comprehensive. C. Conventional. D. Challenging.
25. Why did Liu refer to ancient Chinese texts
A. She wanted to question ancient treatment methods.
B. She desired to find inspiration for treating diseases.
C. She tried to document the history of Chinese herbs.
D. She determined to find a cure for stomach illnesses.
26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Steps of the drug testing. B. The application of YIV-906.
C. Effects of the clinical trial. D. The effectiveness of YlY-906.
27. Why does the author mention Chinese herb qinghao
A.To illustrate the value of botanical drugs.
B. To advocate the adoption of “WE” medicine.
C. To praise Tu's contributions to drug development.
D. To highlight its success in medicine development.

Media literacy (素养) is finally getting some late-arriving attention. Whether it’s the increasing awareness of political disinformation or the threat of Al, discussions about media literacy are on the rise. The adoption of media literacy in the classroom, however, stagnates.
The driving force for providing kids with media literacy skills often gets lost in the moral panic over technology and kids. Fear has overrun reason, and people can’t decide whether to blame social media, mobile devices, tech companies, or the Internet. They are concerned with claims that technology and social media are the causes of teenage mental health issues despite the weak associations. In response, too many solutions are “ostrich policies (鸵鸟政策)” that want to ban devices and shut down social media but don’t address more fundamental issues.
Policies that set age limits on social media access and restrict devices during school to minimize disturbance can be helpful but are incomplete solutions. Social media didn’t invent bullies (霸凌) or the enormous effect of peer pressure. Social media platforms may be a new battleground, but they are not the source. Unfortunately, many current policies ignore the need to teach kids how to manage these challenges. There is frighteningly little attention paid to preparing kids to make good decisions when they will, unavoidably, get online.
On the bright side, the rapid development of Al and increasing attention to the amount of misinformation online have helped normalize the acceptance of media literacy as a core skill. While suggestions to limit inappropriate device use, increase face-to-face socialization, and engage in outdoor play arc beneficial, they do not build the core skills that will keep kids safe offline and are fundamental to well-being and life success: good citizenship, self-awareness and self-control. Those things take teaching, whether you are online or outside.
Media literacy is an essential life skill that, once learned, can be applied to any content. While waiting for public education to catch up, parents and educators can build media literacy skills at home with numerous resources, ranging from family technology contracts and discussion guides to easy activities that can be done at home with kids.
28. What does the underlined word “stagnates” in the first paragraph probably mean
A. Gets far ahead. B. Falls apart suddenly. C. Falls well short. D. Gets started officially.
29.What causes people’s moral panic over technology and kids
A. Belief in the rapid growth of new technologies.
B. Concern over cutting kids off from the Internet.
C. Inability to balance the use of social media and health.
D. Fear of technology causing mental health issues in teenagers.
30. What does paragraph 3 of the text focus on
A. The sources of peer pressure. B. The benefits of minimizing disturbance.
C. The problems of current policies. D. The disadvantages of social media platforms.
31. Which of the following belongs to media literacy
A. Reducing social media exposure. B. Applying critical thinking to media.
C. Increasing face-to-face interactions. D. Recognizing the dangers of social media.
D
Decision fatigue (决策疲劳)is a psychological phenomenon where the quality of decisions declines after a long session of decision-making. It is caused by the limited mental energy we have for making choices each day. While many of us believe we are logical beings capable of weighing every option carefully, decision fatigue shows how our mental resources can be used up over time.
One of the key studies on this phenomenon was conducted in the context of parole hearings (假释听证会). Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or after a meal break, As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions, denying parole simply because it required less mental effort.
Decision fatigue not only affects major life choices but also everyday decisions. For instance, people often report struggling to decide what to eat for dinner after a long day. Similarly, too many choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals feeling confused, leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option.
To overcome decision fatigue, some well-known figures have adopted strategies to simplify their daily routines. For example, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is famous for wearing the same style of gray T-shirts to minimize unnecessary choices. Similarly, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein was known for owing multiple identical suits to avoid wasting energy on deciding what to wear each day. In a different context, author Haruki Murakami has shared that he maintains a strict daily routine, including specific writing hours and exercise, to free up mental capacity for his creative work.
Understanding decision fatigue can help us structure our lives more effectively. Prioritizing important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are strategies to preserve mental energy. By managing our mental resources wisely, we can make sound decisions and reduce the stress associated with overwhelming choices.
32. What leads to decision fatigue according to the text
A. The lack of time to make decisions.
B. The difficulty of making logical choices.
C. The stress from making important decisions.
D. The limited mental energy for decision-making.
33. What does the study on parole hearings reveal
A. Judges are much stricter after long breaks.
B. Decision fatigue can lead to unfair outcomes.
C. Fatigue causes judges to avoid complicated cases.
D. External factors have no impact on decision-making.
34. What does the author suggest readers shopping online do
A. Make quick decisions. B. Compare different products.
C. Limit the number of choices. D. Choose the most popular products.
35. What is the purpose of adopting routines
A. To reduce the stress of daily work. B. To increase decision-making quality.
C. To enhance overall life satisfaction. D. To create more decision-making chances.

Achieving Success in Journalistic News Writing
No book, article or blog post can turn an ambitious writer into a successful journalist. All that it can do is to help the writer learn to write. The primary skill in learning to write is practice. 36_____
Among the most convenient subjects are the events and news in the world around us. Such topics are what skilled journalists write about, and that is why we call this form of writing “journalistic writing”.
Journalistic writing is not a special literary gymnastics that requires a special talent and an expansive vocabulary. 37 It is using language to tell what is going on in the world. As such, it requires no special talent beyond seeing and understanding what is taking place around us, to grasp its significance and relation to other events, and to tell others what we have seen and heard.
38 One of the chief characteristics is timeliness and relevance. It has little time to talk about the past, except in comparison with the present. It has little time to foretell the future, except in pointing out the significance of the present. Its subject is today. It is primarily concerned with facts. The writer considers himself a recorder of the things other persons are doing and thinking.
Another basic part of journalistic writing is that the writer prepares it for a definite purpose. Some writers, like novelists, write to use beautiful words and sentences. 39 However, the writer who favors a journalistic style uses English simply to tell what he has seen and heard; he realizes that his reader cares more for the things he tells than for the way in which he tells and expresses them.
Success in journalistic writing demands two important skills. One is the inborn skill to see and understand. The other is the skill to tell what the writer has seen in a way that makes the reader see the same thing. 40 If the writer is eager to excel, he must expand his knowledge and education so he can better understand and evaluate the things he sees and hears.
A. It will not do them any good to write news items.
B. To these imaginative literary writers, they favor expression.
C. To practice writing, one must have something to write about.
D. An ambitious writer can develop both skills if he lacks them.
E. The writer must write it now or never―without giving up quality.
F. Journalistic writing differs mainly in its subject matter and purpose.
G. Instead, it is the plainest, most reserved form of English composition.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The first week of my summer vacation was exciting, and my sense of freedom was so intense that it felt like I had to pack everything into that single week. The next week was a little calmer. But by the third week my two best friends had left for summer camp and my activities wound down into boredom. Getting up later each morning, I was spending more and more time with my cellphone and in front of the TV. That is when Mom reacted, declaring my phone and the TV off limits between 6:00 in the morning and 6:00 at night. It was shocking just to hear her say it.
In that first hour I felt I'd lost my senses of sight and hearing. The silence was numbing. I circled the house going from room to room looking for something to do, asking myself what I can do When I encountered Mom in the kitchen, I asked her, too, “What can I do ”
“That's up to you,” she said without looking in my direction. Through the day I posed my question to her several more times, getting much the same result. Then late in the afternoon, while she was working at her computer, I dared to ask again. Instantly she swung around to look at me, and I could see that my question had a definite effect on her expression. She looked as though she had been shocked. Her jaws clenched, like she was holding her words between her teeth as they struggled to get out. She looked me straight in the eye, then smiled and said, “Well, are you up for a challenge ” “Sure what ” “Your challenge is to follow the same ant for ten minutes,” “What is so tough about that ” She smiled again. “You might be surprised.” Sometime later Mom stood beside me, timer in hand. “I'll set the timer for ten minutes when you find your winning ant.”
