Shirley Raines makes the homeless community in Los Angeles’s skid row (贫民窟) neighborhood feel human. She is the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit organization that provides free food, clothing, haircuts, and make-up services for the homeless. And Shirley is now the CNN Hero of the Year!
In 1990, Raines’ 2-year-old son Demetrius passed away from accidental poisoning while at his grandma’s house. This event caused a lot of pain for Shirley Raines. The pain lasted for many years. And she did not know what to do about it. She struggled to understand what her purpose was in life. Until one day six years ago, Shirley visited the skid row with a friend from church who asked her to volunteer. She met a lot of homeless people and realized how much help they needed, not just in finding a home, but in finding themselves and their own worth and beauty.
Shirley started to volunteer every Saturday. As she got to know the homeless, they often praised her for her make-up, hair, and style. She started to offer to “make up” the homeless. They loved it, she loved it, they loved her and she loved them. She found purpose. So she started an outdoor beauty salon to serve the homeless, which took most of her spare time.
Raines started sharing her efforts on Instagram with photos and even livestreaming (网络直播) some of her events. Things took off. She formed her nonprofit organization, Beauty 2 The Streetz, and her followers quickly began donating money or time to expand Shirley’s impact. Her Instagram followers grew to over 200,000 people, including many beauty professionals such as licensed hairstylists, barbers, make-up artists. Many of them regularly donate money to keep the services rolling. Others donate their time to help Shirley serve the homeless.
Shirley’s boldness, caring, courage, consistency (连贯性), and desire to take action have led to making a real impact on people’s lives. And she also serves as a role model for and an inspiration to others.
24. How did Shirley change her sad feeling and live purposefully
A. By livestreaming her daily life.

When you reach 10, 000 steps in a day, your fitness app rewards you with virtual stars and fireworks. Similarly, when you practice a language for several days in a row, you earn a “bonus” and are encouraged to keep it going. Many companies and apps use these types of features to make tasks more engaging and motivate people to achieve their goals. Business consultants promised that gamifying work could help motivate employees by making tasks more exciting. Instead of changing the nature of the work itself, gamification changes its presentation, using rewards and competition to make goal achievement feel more fun.
However, recent studies have shown that gamification does not always work as expected. Ethan Mollick and Nancy Rothbard conducted an experiment to test the effectiveness of gamification in the workplace. They worked with a group of salespeople who were tasked with convincing businesses to offer coupons (优惠券) for products sold on their company’s website. The salespeople earned rewards based on how many coupons they sold.
To make the work more exciting, Mollick and Rothbard created a basketball-themed game where salespeople earned points for each deal closed, with bigger deals earning more points. The names of top performers were displayed on giant screens, and regular emails updated everyone on who was winning. The top performer received a bottle of wine as a prize.
Despite these efforts, the game did not improve sales or make employees feel more motivated. In fact, salespeople who disliked the game reported feeling worse about their work, and their performance even declined slightly. The game only helped those who bought into it, making them feel more engaged.
At its best, gamification seems to work when it helps people achieve the goals they want to reach anyway by making the process of goal achievement more exciting. When people fully accept a game, the results can be impressive. However, when designed to encourage people to do something they don’t particularly care to do, it can backfire. What matters most is how the people playing the game feel about it.
28. What is the main purpose of gamification
A. To make work more enjoyable.
B. To change the nature of work itself.
C. To replace traditional reward systems.
D. To discourage people from achieving goals.
29. What did Mollick and Rothbard find in their experiment
A. Employees were confused by rewards.
B. All employees were not motivated by the game.
C. The game increased overall sales performance.
D. People who purchased games closed more deals.
30. Gamification works best when ________.
A. tasks are challenging. B. rewards are financial.
C. it matches people’s goals. D. people are forced to participate.
31. Which of the following would be the best title for the article
A. The Importance of Playing Games in Business.
B. The Challenges of Using Technologies Effectively.
C. The Benefits of Reward Systems in the Workplace.
D. The Impact of Gamification on Motivating People.
D
For the first time, neuroscientists have established a connection between changes in our visual perception (视觉感知) and the rhythm (节奏) of our steps while we’re walking.
Researchers studied 45 subjects walking in a virtual environment along a 10-meter path. During each 9-second walk, subjects responded to visual inputs. Eye and head movements, as well as walking information, were tracked. “The study shows that the brain processes vision in a rhythmic manner, rising and falling in response to rhythm with our steps. When swinging from one step to the next, visual perception is good and reactions are fast. During the footfall, however, our vision is not as sharp and reactions are slow.
Lead author Dr Davidson said, “We are consciously aware of a smooth stream of vision but this is pare it with a duck swimming on a pond. Beneath the smooth motion on the surface there is a lot of cycling activity.” For the mismatch, the current view is that the brain is a predictive machine that actively predicts what ought to be there and fills in the missing details.
It is unclear why our brain’s perceptual processes are so closely related to walking. Professor Alais said, “One possible explanation is that vision becomes secondary to movement control while your foot is grounded and the next step is planned. Once you are in the swing stage between footfalls, the brain switches back to prioritizing (优先处理) the sensing of the world, creating an ongoing perceptual rhythm that harmonizes with your step rate.”
Dr Davidson said, “An obvious question is whether the connection is more evident in the elderly given difficulty with balance as we age. The findings also raise the exciting possibility that we could develop cheap and easy medical tests using VR headsets, or use this information to develop tests for the early stage of muscular disorders or some mental illnesses, which can be shown in abnormal walking.” He said it could also be applied to further research in sports science to better decision-making and reaction times in athletes.
32. What happens to a walking man according to the study
A. The head moves with the steps.
B. The brain works best during the footfall.
C. The level of vision experiences changes.
D. The eyes’ information processing is limited.
33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deceptive” in paragraph 3
A. Effortless. B. Unreliable. C. Inspiring. D. Changeable.
34. What does Professor Alais’s explanation highlight
A. The narrow range of human focus.
B. The cooperation among body parts.
C. The different tasks of the human senses.
D. The adaptive nature of brain processing.
35. Which findings will Dr Davidson agree with
A. They help improve athletes’ recovery.
B. They need to be tested on a larger scale.
C. They may fail to apply to elderly people.
D. They may drive progress in various areas.

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。
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’ t worry. We’ ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’ s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.

【答案】
Dear Daniel,
Pleased to know that you are interested in the painting exhibition at the National Museum, I’m writing to share some details about my recent visit, which featured a collection of traditional Chinese paintings.
One of the highlights was Tang Yin’s masterpiece Clearing After Snow on a Mountain Pass, immersing viewers in a Ming Dynasty winter landscape. Renowned for its masterful brushwork, this artwork vividly depicts snow-covered mountains, trees, and houses with strokes so fluid and natural that the snow appears freshly fallen.
I was deeply moved by the artist’s ability to capture nature’s serene beauty. This experience has deepened my appreciation for the timeless elegance of Chinese art.
Yours,
Li Hua
七、读后续写
One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I... ” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself.
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.
