Betty is a biologist (生物学家). She studies brain diseases that come along with aging. Her job is not an easy one. She is trying to understand what goes wrong with the brain over time, and how people can age in a healthy way. It is very important, especially when people are living a longer life now.
Betty does not have a natural gift for math. She never thought that she could be a scientist one day when she was little. Now, she has got a doctor’s degree in biology and become a famous medical researcher. Betty has made it partly because she is curious about everything. This is a very important quality for a scientist. Another reason is that she is a creative thinker. “After all, science is all about problem-solving,” Betty said.
Betty thinks the best part of her research is trying out an idea to see if it will work. Her heart is filled with joy when her idea is proved right and accepted by other scientists. But when things don’t go smoothly as she plans, she feels no disappointment. She says mistakes may lead to a new idea.
Few are born to be a scientist. According to Betty, curiosity and creativity play the biggest role.

There was a little boy whose name was Peter. He lived in a village close to the sea.
One day, Peter was walking on his way back home along a sea wall when it began to rain. Suddenly, he saw a hole in the wall, from which the sea water was running. Peter asked for help by shouting, because he knew the hole meant that the sea was making its way through the sea wall, but no answer came. He thought he should do something else as quickly as possible. He started to run towards his village. At the same time, the rain became heavier and heavier.
It was getting dark, but Peter ran on and on. He felt cold and hungry. In the rainstorm, he fell down over and over again. Many times he thought about giving up, but he fought on. He remembered his father’s words, “The walls can keep the village safe from danger. The sea walls are really important.”
Finally, when people saw him, Peter had been black and blue all over. The boy told the villagers what had happened to the sea wall. They repaired it in time. “Thank God! He saved the village,” they praised (表扬) Peter. All the villagers called him “Peter the Guard (警卫；看守)” from then on.

A 14-year-old boy named Pan Yichen from Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, did something great!
Like most days, Pan Yichen was walking home from school. But this day was different—he noticed a tilted traffic light (倾斜的交通灯) at a busy street corner.
While others hurried past, Pan stopped. “Hmm,” he thought, “this could cause something terrible.” He realized that people may get hurt because of it. So, he decided to take action.
After walking around the light for a few moments, he made sure there was no danger of electric shock (触电). Then he reached out and pushed (推动) hard to turn the traffic light back straight.
But Pan didn’t stop there! He waited to make sure the light worked. Red... Yellow... Green... “Perfect!” he said. Only then did he go home.
When the police arrived, they discovered the traffic light was straight again and learned about Pan’s actions. They praised him. Pan said, “I didn’t think too much about it. I just wanted to keep people safe. If I couldn’t fix (修理) it, I would call the police!”

Jane was not a confident (自信的) girl before, because she was fat, and others often laughed at her heavy body. As a result, Jane became very shy. She was afraid to ask questions and speak loudly in front of others. She used to believe that she would be like this all her life.

Do you find it hard to say no whenever someone comes to you for help Do you feel guilty (内疚的) when you have to tell people that you can’t help them And do you often say “yes” while your true answer is “no” If you answered yes, you may be a “people-pleaser”.
Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you build lasting friendships. However, going too far—trying to please others even at the cost of your own happiness—can leave you feeling stressed. Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to stop being a people-pleaser.
To start with, it’s important to create “boundaries (边界)” in your life. Be clear about what you really like to do. You can also tell others that they can only come to you during a certain period of time.
When someone asks you for help, tell him or her that you need some time to think about it. Use this time to ask yourself: Do you really want to do this How much time will it take By giving yourself a few minutes, you’ll be better able to decide.
(3) Some people always try to please others because they have little confidence in themselves. They place a low value on their own happiness. In this case, try positive self-talk. Remind yourself that you have dreams, too. You don’t have to give away your time and energy to do things that don’t bring you joy.
(4) Making a sudden and big change can be hard, but you can break a huge task up into pieces. You may, for example, text to say no. Then, go straight to the person and say no. Practice this in less difficult situations first, such as talking to a salesperson or ordering at a restaurant. Then try refusing your friends or relatives.
Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn’t mean you have to give up being kind and helpful. You can still do good things—but don’t take away your own happiness.

Van Tilburg and his team did a study asking people to describe what boring people are like according to someone they knew. In the study, most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor (幽默感).
Later studies showed that being seen as boring is a bad personality characteristic (性格特点). And these people are often called introverts (内向的人).
So why do some people think introverts are boring Quiet people usually keep their lives secret (秘密的) and don’t like sharing their lives with others. This is different from what many cultures enjoy: being outgoing and welcome. Because of this, people might wrongly think that “quiet” means “boring”. They believe being very outgoing and sharing everything online shows people are fun.
However, thinking that being outgoing is better can be a mistake, according to another study. This idea may start when we are in our teenage years because we have the most friends and are popular with everyone at that time. This kind of popularity can make quiet people feel bad about not being so social (合群的).
In fact, introverts have something called a “quiet ego (自我)”. It helps them be able to put themselves in other people’s shoes and see all sides of problems. They not only care about themselves, but also care about others. Their kindness also brings them a feeling of long-lasting happiness.
It’s not right to think introverts are boring because introversion has many good points. Introverts are truer to themselves. Knowing being introverted is good can make people feel great about themselves. There can be happiness in being “boring” if you have a quiet, introverted personality.
46．What did most people in the study think of a boring person (no more than 20 words)
47．How does the quiet ego help introverts (no more than 6 words)
48．Are you an introvert What do you think of introverts (本题字数不限)

Communication is an important part of our lives. It helps us build relationships, share ideas, and understand others. Good communication skills can make our lives easier and more successful.
There are many ways to communicate with others. Face-to-face communication is one of the most common and effective ways. When we talk face to face, we can see the expressions on the other person’s face and hear the tone of their voice. This helps us understand their feelings better. For example, if someone is smiling and speaking in a friendly tone, we can tell that they are happy. On the other hand, if someone has a serious expression and speaks in a loud voice, we may think they are angry.
However, in modern society, we also rely a lot on electronic communication, such as text messages, emails, and video calls. These forms of communication are convenient, when we can’t meet in person. But they also have some disadvantages. For example, it’s easy to misunderstand the meaning of a text message because we can’t see the person’s face or hear their tone of voice.
To communicate effectively, we need to be good listeners. We should pay attention to what the other person is saying and try to understand their point of view. We should also be clear and honest when we express our own ideas. Using simple and direct language can help avoid misunderstandings.

If you really want to succeed in life, it’s very important to be a team player. For example, in a football game, Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player, but he still has to work well with his team members to win a match. Because every member of his team has a very important role and every member of the team is necessary to the success of the team.
The idea of teamwork also works well in other parts of our life. Lab work and group programmes require (需要) the good teamwork experience with others. In the workplace, working together is also necessary for success, because one person cannot finish large tasks like building a railway (铁路) or controlling a train station.
Being a team player does not mean that one person should not have any ideas of his own. He doesn’t have to agree with the other team players all the time. A good team member should not be afraid to think of new ideas, even the crazy ones. He needs to stick to his ideas and share them with the other members of the team. Those crazy ideas may help the team realise the dreams.

Most people learn good manners as children, but sometimes when they grow up, they forget to use them. However, it’s important to have good manners all the time, because they show kindness and respect for others.
Saying “please” and “thank you” are among the simplest ways of being polite. They’re ways of showing that you notice and you are thankful for the nice things someone does for you. If you don’t, you’re treating someone like a servant who has to do whatever you say and you don’t care that someone takes the time to help you.
When I was a child, I didn’t like writing thank-you notes every time my mom asked me to. But as an adult, I’ve received thank-you notes that always make me smile on hard days. I’ve learned that taking the time to write these notes is a great way to make someone feel loved and special.
Saying “excuse me” is an easy way to get someone’s attention and show your good manners. Whether you’re asking for directions or needing help, starting with “excuse me” shows that you value the other person’s time and mind their feelings. This small phrase helps to continue the conversation freely.
Sometimes, good manners may require silence. Listening to others carefully and silently shows that you value the person speaking. Also avoid disturbing someone who is talking with someone else in person or on the phone. In most cases, what they are talking about may be more important than what you have to say.
Remember, good manners are not just about following rules; they are about making others feel valued and respected.

Many people know LEGO (乐高). It is from Denmark, and appeared in 1932. The LEGO Group is working on a way to make LEGO bricks (积木) out of recycled plastic (可回收塑料).
In about 1960, people started to make LEGO bricks using a kind of plastic called ABS. With ABS plastic, the LEGO bricks won’t be broken easily. People can use them over and over again. Sadly, ABS plastic can’t be recycled and it takes a very long time to break down. It pollutes the environment. That’s a big problem. There is serious plastic pollution around the world.
To help save the earth, LEGO started to make new bricks in 2015. These bricks wouldn’t pollute the earth so much. Three years later, the factory started making some LEGO parts out of a kind of special plastic. The plastic is made from sugar cane (甘蔗).
LEGO is now trying to make bricks out of PET plastic. This kind of plastic can be found in things like bottles and clothing. People can make LEGO bricks out of recycled plastic bottles. Making bricks from used PET plastic can cut plastic pollution by about 70%. The factory is working to find out a way to add color to the bricks—right now they’re just white.
LEGO plans to make all of its main things out of environment-friendly materials (环保的材料) by the year 2030.

Picture this: Students pass their schoolwork through different hands, from their group leader to the class representative (课代表) and finally to the teacher. It might not sound too difficult, but sometimes it can go wrong and take a lot of time.
To deal with this problem, Zhang Xirui from Shenzhen Gezhi Academy in Guangdong came up with a useful tool—a smart homework collection robot.
The robot uses radio frequency identification (RFID, 射频识别) technology—a reader and a special tag (标签) that can share information without touching each other. This way, it can help find and know what it is looking for. Each student’s notebook has a special RFID tag with their name and the subject on it. Students only need to place their notebooks on the robot, and the machine “sees” the notebook, reads its tag and takes it out of the list. “Teachers can check who hasn’t turned in homework by connecting their phones with the robot through Wi-Fi,” the boy said.
Now, Zhang is planning to develop a third-generation robot and hopes to use new technology to read lots of RFID tags from far away. That means if you stick a special tag on your notebook, the robot can read the information from lots of notebooks at once. Zhang believes that this is the key to how AI can make life easier for us.
Zhang dreams of becoming a scientist when he grows up. “I have tried making model airplanes and other scientific and creative projects. Inventing has brought me joy and happiness,” he said.

A car powered only by the sun
Let’s imagine a big car. It can travel a long way in different places without having to refuel (补充燃料). It is very friendly to the environment because it is powered by the sun. This car is real now. Some students in the Netherlands have built one. They call it Stella Terra.
The 22 students always wanted to make a car friendly to the environment just like an electric car. They had to work all by themselves. They spent a lot of time building it. The project was a big one. They even took a year off from university to do it. The battery was the No.1 problem. Older solar-powered cars couldn’t travel very far. Thanks to solar stickers, new batteries work much better.
Stella Terra is 97% efficient (效率高的). In other words, it wastes only 3% of the energy it gets from the sun. It can travel about 710 kilometers on a sunny day. This is really good since the newest electric car in China can travel up to 700 kilometers on one charge.
The students are very proud of their car. They hope it will lead the future development of cars.
Task 1 Complete the table about the features of the two cars. 完成关于这两类汽车特点的表格，每空格词数不限。
