In August 1944, alter two years in hiding in Amsterdam, 15-year-old Anne Frank and her family, along with four other Jews, were arrested. Only Anne's father, Otto Frank, survived the Nazi concentration camps. Anne's diary published in 1947, became one of the most well-known evidence of the Holocaust(大屏杀). However, the question of who betrayed (出卖) the Frank family remains unresolved. The book “The Last Secret of the Secret Annex” by Jeroen De Bruyn and Joop van Wijk-Voskuijl attempts to shed light on this long-existed mystery.
The authors, De Bruyn and van Wijk-Voskuijl, bring a unique perspective to the investigation,Van WijkVoskuiil's mother, Bep Wijk-Voskuijl, was one of the Dutch helpers who supported the Frank family during their time in hiding. Bep's “special talent” was calming Anne down when no one else could. The book updates their earlier work, challenging a previous investigation that suggested Amold, van den Bergh, a member of Amsterdam's Jewish Council, was the betrayer. Instead, they propose a new suspect: Nelly, Bep's younger sister.
Nelly was a teenager and had Nazi sympathies. She had Nazi boyfriends and worked for the German military. Witnesses, including Bep's sister Diny and her wartime fiancé(未婚夫), recalled Nelly knowing about her relatives were helping Jews in hiding and expressing anger towards them. The book details Nelly's possible motivations. The authors also highlight the dangers faced by those in hiding, noting that the Frank family's presence was sometimes noticed by neighbors - their daytime fights were often loud enough to be heard downstairs.
“The l ast Seeret of the Secret Annex" is a deeply personal account that explores the lasting impact of the Holocaust on the families involved. The book also reflects on the complex moral choice of those who lived through the war. Ultimately, the authors conclude that the identity of the betrayer may never be known with certainty, but their investigation offers new insights into this sad story.
24. What does the underlined word “unresolved” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Undiscovered. B. Unsettled. C. Unquestioned. D. Undiscussed.
25. Based on the text, which of the following is NOT true

C. Anne's family left traces of hiding to their neighbors. D. Arnold van den Bergh betrayed the frank family.
26.what does the third paragraph focus on
A. Nelly’s possible motivations for betrayal. B. Nelly’s relationship with the Frank family.
C. General dangers facing all Dutch citizens. D. The Franks’ daily life in the Secret Annex.

Wake up early enough and, depending on where you live, you’ll likely hear a pleasant chorus of birds chirping(鸟叫) their tiny hearts out. Singing in the early morning is the natural behavior of birds. But why do birds sing only in the early morning
According to the Woodland Trust, a UK-based environmental charity, this early singing is known as the dawn chorus, and it can start as early as 4am and last for several hours. Birds do it to attract mates (配偶) and warn other birds to avoid their territory. One theory as to why they opt for the wee hours to communicate these important messages is because the low visibility makes it hard to do other bird activities, like finding food. Keeping their activity level low, they opt to sing instead. Another theory argues that birds use the morning vocals to project an image of strength. By singing with passion, they’re letting other birds know they survived the night - no guarantee in nature - and would make for an excellent mate.
Like a good recording studio, the early morning hours also allow birds to transmit a clear tune thanks to the cooler, drier air. Because birds have distinctive chirps, that clarity helps them be more easily identified by birds within listening distance.
There used to be a prevailing theory that birds sang so much in the mornings because the sounds could travel greater distances due to less atmospheric turbulence (大气湍流), but it was disproven by researchers at the University of Western Ontario in 2003. They played recordings of sparrows at dawn and midday. The songs didn't travel farther but they were more consistent.
Because birds only have so much energy to chirp, singing when they stand the best chance of being heard makes sense. For a bird, an early morning session is like having the perfect acoustic environment for their performance.
28. Why do birds sing in the early morning
A. To find food for their kids. B. To communicate with distant birds.
C. To exercise their vocal cords. D. To appeal to mates and defend territory.
29.How is the early singing explained in paragraph 2
A. By describing events. B. By defining a concept. C. By listing possible causes. D. By providing examples.
30. Why is the early morning the best time for birds to sing
A. Because it's when their songs can travel farther. B. Because it's when they have the most energy.
C. Because it's when they survived another night. D. Because it's when they are least likely to be seen.
3l. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Bird Songs: The Role in Attracting Mates
B. The Benefits of Early Morning Singing for Birds
C. The Impact of Atmospheric Conditions on Bird Songs
D. The Dawn Chorus: Why Birds Sing in the Early Morning
D
Scientists from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HIPS) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences have designed a wristwatch that can measure essential chemicals in body sweat. Their findings were published in the journal ACS Nano.
Sweat contains electrolytes (电解质), primarily potassium, sodium and calcium. The balance of these essential minerals is crucial for supporting muscle function, nerve health and regular heartbeat. The wristwatch collects sweat from the skin and analyzes it in real time using a sensor chip with an ion-sensitive membrane (离子敏感膜). When sweat enters the device, it will come into contact with the membrane that contains three small tubes capable of measuring potassium, sodium and calcium levels.
Although they are not the first to invent sweat sensors, the Chinese researchers emphasized the wristwatch's solid interface (界面) for long-term reliability. “It is greater than the stability of many other sensors by consistently monitoring the three ions in human sweat for over six months,” said lead researcher Huang Xingjiu.
Researchers in the study measured the sweat composition of these chemicals in athletes running lone distances on a running machine. The accuracy reached about 95 percent when compared to the standard detection method. The aim of developing this device is to provide warnings for electrolyte loss and reduce exercise-related injury risks.
For ordinary people, the conventional electrolyte test requires samples of body fluids taken in hospitals. The new wristwatch has the potential to serve as an alternative to needles for measuring electrolytes. The next goal of the research team is to design various sensitive membrane materials for monitoring more physiological information. The researchers noted that compared to popular fitness watches on the market, the device they designed is larger and heavier, making it less comfortable to wear.

Struggling to make your point, set boundaries, or get people to agree with you Communication
is a skill, and a few simple psychology tricks can make all the difference. 36
Use the “because” effect.
People are more likely to agree with you if you give them a reason- even a simple one. 37 Instead of saying “Can you help me with this ” try “Can you help me with this because I'm on a tight deadline ” Adding a reason makes your request feel more justified, making it harder to refuse.
Mirror their energy (subtly!).
Imitating someone's tone, body language, or speech patterns creates an instant sense of connection, if they’re upbeat and expressive, let your enthusiasm show. 38 This builds rapport and makes the other person more receptive to what you're saying.
39
Most people hate being awkwardly silent, which means they'll rush to fill them - often by giving you the answer you want. However, after making a request or asking a question, better to pause instead of explaining yourself further. Whether you're negotiating a salary or asking for a favor, giving the other person space to respond can work in your favor.
Frame it as a win-win.
40 Instead of saying, “I’d rather work on this than that,” try “I could bring more value to this project because of my skills, which would help the tea get better results.” Positioning your request as mutually beneficial makes it harder to say no.
Repeat key points for emphasis.
People are more likely to remember and agree with something they hear multiple times. Subtly repeating your main point in different ways reinforces your message and makes it more persuasive.
A. Make use of the power of strategic silence.
B. If they’re calm and reserved, keep your tone steady.
C. Always be the first to speak in a conversation to take control.
D. Focus on the team’s needs rather than on your own.
E. Studies show that using the word “because” increases agreement.
F. People are more likely to agree when they see a benefit for themselves.
G. Here's how to express yourself clearly and confidently without sounding pushy.

Last year, my 9-year-old son Leopold and I decided to have a “Yes Day” during our ski trip to Keystone, Colorado. Leopold is a picky eater - he lives on chicken nuggets and yogurt - and can be hesitant to try new things. According to him, it's because he has phobias (恐惧症), including heights, spiders and the dark. I thought this would be a fine way to encourage him. We agreed to say “yes” to everything, including food and experiences, especially new ones.
We started saying yes before we even boarded our flight. At a breakfast buffet at the airport, I sampled a vegan meatball, while Leopold tried a mouse bite of hash browns he said looked “funny,” Neither of us loved it, but we both agreed it wasn't bad.
The next day, after we checked in at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. He had taken lessons back home, but this was his first time on a mountain of this size. I hoped he would make the most of this opportunity.
I skied by myself. I first played it safe and stuck to the long and winding easy green run. Then, I challenged myself to ski a more difficult blue run and was proud of myself for trying something new. Leopold had kept to our bargain and faced his fear of heights to learn how to ride a ropeway.
Later that day, when we were reunited, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub. Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate is being cold and wet! When I hesitated, Leopold reminded me of our agreement.Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also exciting to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and braved it together.

W: Thank you all for coming. To the rest of the world, Frank Delmont is an award-winning novelist, but to those of us here, he’s a member of our community. I’ve known Frank for a long time - ever since I hired him! Did you know he wrote his first book, Agents of Coincidence, while he was employed at this very library I remember seeing him hard at work in the break room, making notes on a draft while he ate. So it came as no surprise that the book was a hit! And Frank could have used his new fame as an opportunity to move to a larger city, but instead he stayed in Mansfield and helped start the Writer's Workshop, a summer program for teen authors. It's in its thirteenth year. Graduates of the program have gone on to distinguished universities all over the country, and some have even had their own literary successes. If anyone is interested, we have an entire section of books by local authors. After the event tonight, copies of Frank's most popular books will be on sale at the table in the back, and we're planning on saving some time for book signing. And that brings me to the reason we're all here: to hear Frank talk about his latest work, Summer in the Arctic. Everyone, please welcome Frank Delmont!
