I was born and raised on the Gold Coast by a single parent, my incredible mother, Christine. Mum always placed a lot of emphasis on higher education and I was educated from a young age to enter university.
Unfortunately for Mum, the thing that I had a special love for was cooking — not what she would have chosen for me. Knowing how hard restaurant work is, she wasn’t pleased with my idea. To keep my options open, I decided to apply for university but also cook throughout my studies with a part-time job. However, it wasn’t long before I found I was stuck in studying something not appealing to me, and this part-time work became my thing. I made the tough decision to quit my university major after graduation, switching to pursue a career in the kitchen. Although she wasn’t favorable with my choice, Mum has since been an incredible supporter.
Soon, I fell back into old patterns working in kitchens but feeling unfulfilled. Then, social media changed everything. As an early user, I poured my creativity into the platform, discovering a talent for photography and storytelling. Soon, my audience grew to 200,000 followers. Recognizing the opportunity, I quit my job to pursue travel photography and social media full-time.
I traveled 50 trips a year at my peak while expanding into consulting, public speaking, and project management. I created social media content, photography and campaign reports. As a pioneer in Australia’s influencer market, my services became highly sought-after.
I established a travel account, teaching others to build careers in the industry, and launched an online photography course for beginners. Next year, I’ll lead my first photography tour in Zimbabwe, my partner’s homeland, combining my passions with conservation and community support. My journey has been challenging yet deeply fulfilling. Making money is no longer the main driver — instead, I seek meaningful experiences and opportunities to inspire others. What began as a small idea has grown into a life of adventure, creativity and purpose.

History is written, read, told — but rarely ever is it smelled.
Historians and scientists across Europe have now gotten together with perfumers(调香师)and museums for a unique project: to reveal what Europe smelled like between the 16th and early 20th centuries. A European street today may smell like coffee, fresh-baked bread and cigarettes. But what did it smell like hundreds of years ago As part of this three-year-long project called “Odeuropa”, the researchers want to find all the old scents(气味)of Europe — and even recreate some of this ancient smellscape: from the dry tobacco scents to the smelly canals.
To do this, they will first build artificial intelligence (AI) that will be trained to go through historical texts, written in seven different languages, for any descriptions of scents. The AI will also be trained to detect images of objects in the texts that might be scented. The team will then use this information to create an online encyclopedia(百科全书)of smells from Europe’s past.
The encyclopedia will include the meaning of certain scents and will trace the stories behind scents, places and related practices, according to project leader Angela Lee. “This database will become a library for the smell heritage of Europe, enabling future generations to access and learn about the scented past.” The encyclopedia will also include descriptions of people for whom smell was important.
The researchers will then work with chemists and perfume makers to recreate past smells and figure out how to display the smells in museums and other historical sites. With current technology, almost every scent can be produced. “The more difficult part of the project will be to find descriptions of scents, because people haven’t always talked or written about them,” Lee said.
Scent plays a central role in our everyday life, even acting as a powerful time machine into our own past with its ability to activate long-forgotten memories. But it’s also a key tool in telling the stories of others. “Scent gives us access to the past in a much more direct and emotional way than language and images,” Lee said.
28．Why did the researchers start the “Odeuropa” project
A．To rebuild a historical European street.
B．To make perfumes of traditional scents.
C．To find and recreate the smells of Europe.
D．To reproduce the scented past of Europe.
29．What will the AI do in the project
A．Collect smell-related data.
B．Write interesting stories behind smells.
C．Detect objects by smell.
D．Describe smells in different languages.
30．Which of the following is the biggest challenge the project faces
A．Scents of the past are hard to keep.
B．Records of scents are rarely found.
C．Technology to reproduce scents is poor.
D．Display of smells in museums costs a lot.
31．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The application of past scents.
B．The effect of scents on memory.
C．The role of scent in story-telling.
D．The value of understanding scent.
D
As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
32．What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless
A．To reduce stereotypes. B．To meet public demand.
C．To cut production costs. D．To encourage competition.
33．What were the participants probably asked to do in the study
A．Design a product. B．Respond to a survey.
C．Work as assistants. D．Take a language test.
34．Why is it difficult to create genderless objects
A．They cannot be mass-produced.
B．Naming them is a challenging task.
C．People assume they are unreliable.
D．Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
35．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．The quality of genderless products.
B．The upside of gendering a product.
C．The meaning of anthropomorphism.
D．The stereotypes of men and women.
七选五
It’s common for you to pressure your children to be smarter. 36 Forcing children to study may be the easiest way for them to learn, but not the best way. There are several guidelines you can follow so that your children see studying as a way to acquire new things.
You should always remember you are not a teacher. Although you need to guarantee that your children are completing their homework without any mistakes, you shouldn’t do the homework for them. If you do, your children won’t be able to address their own issues and will always depend on others for help. 37
Besides, be cautious about rewarding children for good grades. If you abuse this, your children will only attempt to study for a reward. Getting bad grades, they’ll feel like a failure. Thus, it’s better to praise your children when they pass a test. 38 This way, they’ll see their mistakes as opportunities to improve and not see themselves as failures.
39 If you only spare no efforts to force your children to study, both you and they will be frustrated. Therefore, place emphasis on devoting time to other activities that are fundamental to your children’s development, like playing sports and watching movies.
Some parents hold the belief that mental disorders lead to children’s lack of interest in study. 40 It’s very likely that their children are simply demotivated or disinterested. Therefore, it’s good to take the above tips into account. As a result, your children may find a genuine desire to study and do their own homework.
A．That’s not necessarily the case.
B．It is teachers’ duty to correct homework mistakes.
C．You may enroll them in various after-class courses.
D．If not, patiently show them how to do better next time.
E．Instead, offer them guidance and tools to do self-research.
F．Vital as study is, it’s not the only thing kids must focus on.
G．Even if they fail in exams, you’d better control your temper.

I had started my academic journey as a university instructor in Ethiopia, where I found considerable satisfaction in mentoring (指导) students.
However, the 41 opportunities and resources there made it difficult to pursue my own growth, so I went to the United States for my Ph. D．and postdoc. I assumed success meant 42 a position at a highly research-related institution.

Ashley ran home from school. Thanksgiving meant four days off. Driving from Ohio to Minnesot a took one day, so she could spend two whole days with Emily. Ashley hadn’t seen Emily for five months — not since Ashley had moved to Ohio. It felt like forever.
Over the phone, Emily talked a lot about a girl named Isabella. Was Isabella Emily’s new best friend No, Ashley decided. She couldn’t be. Only Ashley knew how to make Emily’s favorite dessert — strawberry-apple pie.
Ashley couldn’t wait to get back to Minnesota. She ran into the living room. “Can I start packing the car We said we’d leave by 4:00.”
Mom glanced up from her computer. “There’s a good chance of snow.”
“The forecast must be wrong. I promised Emily I’d come,” Ashley said.
Mom pushed her chair back and sighed, “We’ll hope for good weather but we’ll stop if it snows.”
“I’ll keep my fingers crossed,” Ashley said, “Nothing will go wrong.”
But everything did go wrong. Snow began to fall. Little flakes at first, then big clumps. The freeway had no place to stop. The windshield wipers (雨刷器) could hardly keep up. Mom pulled into a rest area. “We’ll stay here until the roads are clear.”
“It’s Thanksgiving. I brought Emily’s favorite pie. She’s counting on me.” Ashley felt her tears welling up in the eyes.
Mom squeezed (攥紧) Ashley’s hand. “I’m sorry, sweetie. We can eat pie tomorrow.”
“Where will we stay ”
Mum replied, “The rest stop has a hall. We can sleep on the floor. Grab your blanket and pillow.It’ll be fun, like camping.”
Ashley hurried out of the car and followed close behind Mom. They stumbled into the hall.Ashley stamped her feet, and snow slipped onto the floor. In the middle of the hall, a man sat between two little boys on a blanket. A girl sat with her parents on another blanket next to them.
“Hello,” said Mom. “Hi,” said the girl.
“e to share our Thanksgiving dinner,” said the father of the two young boys. He pulled sandwiches out of a cooler and set them on the blanket.
注意：1.续写词数为150左右：
2.请按如下格式作答。
Para. 1:“Beef soup and stuffed dumplings,” the girl pointed to their food on the blanket, inviting them to join.

Para. 2: On hearing her new friend’s wish, Ashley thought about Emily’s strawberry-apple pie in the car.
