It was a cold winter evening in December, the kind where frost painted the windows and the fireplace was too weak to keep the room warm. I was twelve at the time, and my father, a quiet man who loved writing, had worked on his book for months.His study was messy, filled with coffee cups and paper- proof of his hard work. That evening, the mailman brought a thick envelope.
My younger sister Lily, always eager to check the mail, grabbed it and 15 it to Dad with excitement.
Dad looked at the sender's name-a famous publishing company--and sighed. Without saying anything, he dropped the envelope onto a shelf near his desk.
“Dad, won't you open it " Lily asked, sounding confused.
“It's probably just another time to be 16 ,” he replied quietly, staring at his computer screen. His voice was 17_ , but I saw his hands shake slightly.
The room fell into a heavy 18 , except for the sound of typing. Lily, however, didn't give up. She pulled a chair to the shelf, climbed up, and grabbed the envelope. With her small hands, she opened it. “Look! It's from the 19 !” she shouted, holding the letter high.
Dad 20 typing.Slowly, he took the letter and read, “We are happy to tell you that your book has been chosen for publication...”His voice broke as he held the paper tightly.
Lily laughed and jumped around. “I knew they'd like it!” Her eyes shone with pride, as if she'd uncovered a hidden treasure.
Dad's face changed -first surprise, then hope, and finally relief. He hugged Lily tightly."Thank you," he whispered, “for not giving up on me.”
Years later, whenever Dad feels uncertain about sending his work, he remembers Lily's
words, 21 him to try. Now, I've started writing too--short stories in notebooks, poems on paper. When I doubt myself, Dad places a hand on my shoulder and says, “Just send it.What matters is having the 22 to try.”
Last month, I received my first refusal letter. For a moment, my heart sank. But Lily ran into my room, grabbed the letter, and said, “Next time, they'll say` 23 !Want to bet a cookie " Her smile made me laugh.
This journey taught me that success isn't just about skill--it's about having someone who 24 supports you, even when things seem hard, And sometimes, that someone is a little sister who never stops believing.

“You'll get square eyes!” my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV. I didn't pay any attention. Many years has passed and now I'm the parent. My 5-year-old lives in a world where screens aren't fixed pieces of furniture. You can't even avoid them by going outside. Screens are not only in our pockets; they're everywhere.
The concerns have grown with the screens. In the past ten years, we have heard that they will do harm to our mental health. Many of us feel more distracted by them, feeling guiltier and more tired as a result.
The apps and websites we can use on our phones have also caused widespread concem Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social acceptance, catching us on likes and follower counts. Social media has created a culture of mass narcissism(自恋),which has led many to worry about the emotional stresses on teenagers. A quick online search brings up lots of papers linking screen use or social media with harmful effects on mental health, including anxiety and depression.
Such statements are alarming. They are also commonly believed, thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge, which claims that digital technology has destroyed a generation.Yet, Amy Orben at the University of Oxford, who studies the influence of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health, holds different views. She claims that the studying data can be used to tell different stories. She also points out the weakness in several large studies that showed correlations between the use of devices with screens and depression in users.
Twenge stands by her own finding, pointing in turn to what she considers downsides in Orben's research methods. For David Max, at Royal College of Child Health in London, the effect of screen time and social media use on mental health remains speculative. “We cannot consider social media completely as good or bad,” says David. “We don't know whether in many cases social media is not responsible," he says.
The growth of mobile phone use has changed our lives. I can download movies,write articles, communicate with my family and broadcast to the world all at the push of a button. Rather than place limits, we should take a look at our use of screens and ask how they fit with the activities and lifestyle.
Every new technology with widespread influence has given rise to new fears. So, the best way may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it. If you find you are unable to stop, don't be anxious-and certainly don't feel guilty. Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about.
According to the passage, people give likes or count followers to__________.
A.show respect for others B. look for social acceptance
C. share their lifestyles D. feel less stressed
What can be learned from the passage
A. Teenagers are more affected by screen use both physically and mentally.
B.Big tech companies help to produce many research papers on mental health.
C. Orben points out it is far too early to believe that screen use will destroy a generation.
D.Twenge mainly introduces the advantages of digital technology in her books.
The underlined word “speculative” probably means“_______”
A. unbelievable ` B. important C. specific D. doubtful
The passage is written to ________.
A.make people less worried about the use of screens
B. encourage readers to reduce the time of screen use
C. share different opinions on the effects of screen use
D. explain why screen use may have bad effects on people

Imagine watching a movie in a foreign language or attending a lecture where the speaker talks fast, the subtitles(字幕)appear directly on your glasses. Isn't that amazing
Recently, an ordinary yet “magical” pair of glasses -the AR Smart Glasses-has hit the market, which goes far beyond regular translation tools by offering hands-free, screen-free, real-time interactive translation.
The AR Smart Glasses are lightweight and comfortable to wear. They look just like regular glasses, but the “magic” hidden within them can't be ignored(忽视).
The coolest feature of the AR Smart Glasses is their special translator. When people talk with someone, they can just point the glasses’ camera at the person they're talking to, and the translation appears on the screen. When people visit a new city wearing AR Smart Glasses, they can simply look at any text, and a translation quickly appears in their view. If they get lost and need directions, the glasses can connect with GPS apps and show them translated directions right in front of their eyes. Even for language learners, it would be wonderful to practice a new language by seeing the words they hear being translated simultaneously(同步地). Learning a language can become quicker, easier, and more certain.
Since translation tools like the AR Smart Glasses help people understand words easily, some people start to question whether it's still necessary to learn English, or any other foreign languages. In fact, knowing a new language is more than just that. When you speak a language fluently, you understand the way people talk, the jokes they make, and the special meanings behind their words. This helps you connect with people better and make real friends. Also, being able to speak more than one language makes you smarter. It helps you think in new ways and solve problems more easily. In a word, learning a language isn't just about understanding words. More importantly, it's about real connections with native speakers and a different point of view to see the world.
So, even though AR Smart Glasses and other cool tools can help with translations, the real joy and benefits of knowing a language come from speaking it fluently and understanding its culture.
What are the AR Smart Glasses used for
What do the AR Smart Glasses look like
How can language learners with the AR Smart Glasses practice a new language
Where does the real joy of learning a new language lie
With the development of translation tools, do you still want to learn new languages Why
