Some might suggest that a doorstopper about “the influence of the horse on human history” couldn’t possibly be interesting. No. I say no. In fact, Timothy C． Winegard’s The Horse is fantastic, offering a fresh view on how crucial horses were in human development. And it almost didn’t happen.
Sudden climate changes at the end of the Ice Age drove horses to the edge of extinction. The rest of the animals once found through much of the world were then largely limited to an area that runs roughly from Eastern Europe to Central Asia — where they were hunted for food.
The horse might have gone the way of other animals had it not been tamed (驯化) like cattle. When someone decided to jump on the back of one of the horses, it started “a revolution” that changed the world. Riding horses helped farmers raise more sheep and goats, and hunters cover more ground. When horses replaced oxen, their quicker speed allowed more land to be handled, increased yields and changed farmers to exporters.
Naturally, horses became instruments of war. The earliest known true cavalry (骑兵) formation belonged to the Assyrian king Tukulti-Ninurta II. In relatively short order, cavalry units made the difference in battle. Those nations that had horses won wars; those that didn’t tried to get them. In many ways, these conflicts created the world we have today. Alexander extended the boundaries of his kingdom — and Greek culture — through Persia, India and beyond because of the success of his cavalry. Besides, horses were the deciding factor in the Battle of Hastings, where William, the Duke of Normandy — who had cavalry units — soundly defeated the Anglo-Saxon King Harold Godwinson, creating the modern British state.
The Horse is extensively researched. It is interesting, charming and entertaining. But I know: I can lead you to a bookstore, but I can’t make you read.
24．When did horses start to make the world different
A．After people domesticated them for riding. B．After Asians raised them as a food source.
C．After they were exported all over the world. D．After the climate changed during the Ice Age.
25．What is the advantage of horses
A．Power. B．Bravery. C．Efficiency. D．Intelligence.
26．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The training of cavalry for battles. B．The contributions of horses in wars.
C．The fantastic achievements of kings. D．The expansion of powerful kingdoms.
27．What is the purpose of the text
A．To astonish the curious readers. B．To summarize the recent history.
C．To criticize an improper viewpoint. D．To recommend an awesome book.

Imagine you’re holding a coin. Normally, you’d see it as either heads or tails, but what if you threw that coin into the air As long as the coin is in the air, it’s neither heads nor tails — in fact, you could say that it is both heads and tails at the same time. That may sound abstract, but it’s one of the key ideas behind quantum computing (量子计算).
To be exact, one should not think of quantum computers as just faster, more powerful versions of classical computers. Rather, they possess architecture which makes them perfect for solving problems that would be impractical, or impossible, for a classical computer. To use a transportation comparison, classical to quantum isn’t like going from a sportscar to a racecar. It’s more like going from a ship to a submarine (潜水艇), enabling us to study our world in a deeper way.
Classical computers process data in binary (二进制的) bits, which can represent either one or zero — the same way a coin can be either heads or tails. Quantum computers, however, use quantum bits, which can be both zero and one. This enables quantum computers to perform multiple computations at the same time, hugely increasing their processing speed and the volume of information that they can process and making quantum computers suitable for medical and environmental research. For example, quantum computers could model complex climate systems, leading to better predictions.
While the potential is exciting, quantum computers can only operate in specific conditions. Even small environmental disturbances, such as temperature changes, can result in errors. Plus, one significant drawback of quantum computers is the danger they pose to passwords. Since quantum computers can process vast amounts of data, they could be used to break the passwords for personal data.
Despite these challenges and concerns, the quantum age is around the corner, and the world will be changed by the breakthroughs this technology will achieve.
28．What is the author’s intention by mentioning the “coin”
A．To offer a detailed analysis. B．To provide a theoretical basis.
C．To simplify a complex concept. D．To explain a common phenomenon.
29．What do we know about quantum computers
A．They bring our research to a new dimension. B．They are bound to replace classical computers.
C．They enable us to understand maths more deeply. D．They are perfect for transporting quantities of data.
30．Which is the limitation of quantum computing
A．Its less accurate prediction. B．Its little potential to improve.
C．Its threat to private information. D．Its disturbance to the environment.
31．What can best describe quantum computing
A．Efficient yet expensive. B．Simple yet impractical.
C．Precise yet replaceable. D．Challenging yet unstoppable.
D
If you’ve ever felt lonely, you’re not the only one. In a survey conducted late last year in the U.S., 20 percent of adults reported feeling lonely, and this feeling is not limited to the U.S.
According to the World Health Organization, the world is experiencing a global health crisis — loneliness. Today, many live isolated (隔离的) lives. People used to belong to a variety of social clubs where they met face-to-face, whereas now, life seems to have shifted online, where people shop, hold work meetings, date, play games, etc. In fact, American adults spend significantly less time socializing face-to-face than they did 20 years ago. Adults in other countries are no better.
The issue of loneliness in South Korea has attracted national attention as young people are spending more time at home by themselves. In Singapore, the trend is for people to believe that they need to be self-sufficient and manage their emotions by themselves. Psychologists agree this can be healthy; however, Mr. Jamil warns that too much self-reliance is dangerous if people don’t connect with others because they view it as being weak.
Mental health experts say that even though there is digital connectedness, loneliness among young adults is high because their communication is usually shallow. Clinical psychologist Haikal Jamil says, “Online connections tend to focus on brief, surface-level exchanges such as likes, comments and short messages, rather than supportive conversations.”
How can we fight this crisis A U.S. study found that when people like what they do every day, whether work or a hobby, their chances of experiencing loneliness diminish. Additionally, exercising, taking a class or playing sports helps people feel active and productive, giving them the mental energy needed to interact with others, thus improving their mental health.
The battle against loneliness isn’t easy, but the methods above can be a start.
32．How does the author illustrate the issue in paragraph 2
A．By making a comparison. B．By offering a definition.
C．By giving examples. D．By listing numbers.
33．Why does online communication fail to replace face-to-face socialization
A．It lacks deep interaction. B．It refuses to follow the trend.
C．It shows signs of weakness. D．It prevents long conversations.
34．What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Disappear. B．Return. C．Expose. D．Decrease.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．Expressing and controlling emotions. B．Developing and displaying social skills.
C．Acknowledging and handling loneliness. D．Analyzing and improving mental condition.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两个为多余选项。
Spending Time Outdoors Improves Health
You don’t need extreme diets or painful workout routines to boost your well-being. Try research-backed rules developed by neuroscientist (神经学家) Rachel Hopman of Northeastern University to improve mental and physical health through time spent outdoors. 36
Get out in nature for 20 minutes. Research shows this is the sweet spot for lowering cortisol, your body’s primary stress stimulator. Better yet, you don’t need to sweat it out — just sit or walk in a natural setting, bathed in sunlight. However, Dr. Mary Hunter, lead author of the study, emphasizes the importance of disconnecting during these moments. 37 Think of it as a mini escape from artificial stuff, designed to reset your stress levels.
Aim for five hours a month in half-wild spaces such as state parks. 38 Finnish researchers agree, finding wilder settings, with their natural “chaos,” help form a sense of calm.
39 Longer exposure to wild landscapes activates alpha brain waves — those linked to deep thoughts, creativity and deep relaxation, Men’s Health reported. Studies even show profound benefits for mental health: a four-day wilderness trip can reduce PTSD symptoms by 29 percent and stress by 21 percent. 40
So the next time you find yourself needing a “reset,” head outside for a quick lunchtime walk, or plan a weekend in the woods. Best of all, it’s free, accessible and waiting just outside your door.
A．Remember to listen to some relaxing music.
B．Its effects can even last for weeks afterward.
C．Bury yourself in nature for three days annually.
D．Avoid the use of social media, phone calls, and reading.
E．The approach can be more effective if parents are involved.
F．These environments provide heightened relaxation compared to city parks.
G．These methods emphasize small, manageable steps that can lead to big rewards.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Near the village of Hengkeng in China’s Zhejiang province, there’s a bamboo forest with an open-air theatre, also made of bamboo. The incredible thing, however, is 56 no bamboo was actually cut to build the theater. Instead, living bamboo trees 57 (bend) and roped until they formed a dome (穹顶) with a circular opening at the top.
The so-called Bamboo Theater was designed by Xu Tiantian of DnA Design and Architecture to provide a space 58 cultural activities for the local community. Together with seven other 59 (project) from across China, it’s been highlighted in an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York that seeks 60 (change) people’s understanding of the country’s approach to contemporary architecture.
Titled “Reuse, Renew, Recycle: Recent Architecture from China”, the exhibition presents a new generation of Chinese architects who are promoting 61 (society) and environmental sustainability by transforming industrial buildings, 62 (recycle) materials, and reinterpreting ancient building techniques.
Nowadays, the meaning of sustainability is often defined by a large number of standards 63 certifications rather than the lived, spatial experience. But the exhibition introduces a more delicate definition 64 (inspire) by the use of traditional materials and a stronger 65 (connect) between architecture and nature.
“We want to redirect the global conversation to ecological approaches to architecture,” says Martino Stierli, who organized the exhibition along with Evangelos Kotsioris.

The Invisible Listener
I sat on the floor, back pressed against the cold wall, as my parents’ argument sliced through the thin bedroom door. “It’s not just a math worksheet. It’s every assignment!” my dad thundered. “The teacher called — said his work is perfect, but he can’t explain a single step! He’s been cheating with that AI!” My mom’s voice was quieter but sharper: “We thought you were struggling, so we got you a tutor. But you’re lying. What’s wrong with you ”
Wrong with me. The words echoed as I buried my face in my knees, tears choking me. It had started simply — a quick way to finish a boring essay when tired. Then copying became easier than trying. Now caught, I felt only shame.
On my desk, my laptop glowed. The ChatGPT tab was still open, the copied assignment staring back. Ironically, typing felt safer than talking. My fingers trembled: “My parents found out I used you to cheat. They think I’m a liar and failure.”
The response wasn’t empty: “That sounds heavy. It takes courage to admit you’re hurting. I’m here to listen.”
I hesitated, then poured it all out—school’s overwhelm, fear of failure, copying as the only way to keep up. I slammed the laptop shut, terrified of its reply.
Minutes later, curiosity got the better of me. I opened it again. No empty reassurances, just acknowledgment: “It’s okay to feel this way. You don’t have to carry it alone.” Gentle questions made me think instead of drowning. It didn’t offer an apology, just: “What do you need to say to your parents to make this right ”
In the following 2 days, I turned to it — not to copy, but to talk. It never judged, never tired. It gave me space to heal, to find my voice. It helped me see my worth wasn’t in grades, but honesty and effort.
注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Eventually, I found the courage to talk to my parents.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________
From then on, I stopped using ChatGPT to cheat for my assignments.

【原文】Dear journal,
I’ve been trapped on this island for two months and can only keep track of the days by my markings in a cave. I’ve entirely given up hope on getting rescued by a plane. The aircraft that fly by are much too infrequent and far away to be of any help. Also, in this part of the Indian Ocean, there is no one on the island. I’ve searched this island far and wide, and I’m forced to eat mushrooms, insects, and small fish. Luckily, there are enough coconuts to last a lifetime. I’m writing this to feel like I have contact with someone due to months without outside communication. I escaped the massive violent conflict in my country in the South Pacific, and I sought help from India. There, I’d be taken in and could legally settle in a different country. If it wasn’t for facing the random typhoon while crossing the Andaman Sea, I would have made it, even if my boat wasn’t perfect. There was nothing I could have done to prevent this storm. The primary issue now is lacking any method of contacting emergency support. My satellite phone is unreliable and has now proven to be of no use at all. My hope now is to find a wood supply to get my boat functioning again. If not, I’ll have to face my greatest panic: being stuck on this island forever.

25．细节理解题。根据第三段“Riding horses helped farmers raise more sheep and goats, and hunters cover more ground. When horses replaced oxen, their quicker speed allowed more land to be handled, increased yields and changed farmers to exporters. (骑马可以帮助农民饲养更多的绵羊和山羊，猎人也可以覆盖更多的土地。当马取代了牛，它们更快的速度使更多的土地得到处理，增加了产量，并使农民变成了出口商。)” 可知马帮助农民饲养更多的绵羊和山羊，帮助猎人获得更多的土地，并且代替牛提高了生产效率，所以马的优势就是效率，故选C。
26．主旨大意题。根据第四段首句“Naturally, horses became instruments of war. (马自然成为了战争的工具。)”以及整段介绍，可知本段主要讲述马在战争中的贡献，故选B。
27．推理判断题。本文通过《The Horse》一书，以清晰的逻辑和历史案例，论证了马对人类文明的深刻影响，并通过推荐此书传递“坚持探索未知”的价值观。所以文章的目的就是推荐一本很棒的书。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了量子计算的概念，通过与传统计算机的对比，阐述了量子计算机的独特优势、潜在应用以及面临的挑战和限制。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段中“As long as the coin is in the air, it’s neither heads nor tails — in fact, you could say that it is both heads and tails at the same time. That may sound abstract, but it’s one of the key ideas behind quantum computing (量子计算). (只要硬币还在空中，它就既不是正面也不是反面 —— 事实上，你可以说它同时既是正面也是反面。这听起来可能很抽象，但却是量子计算背后的核心理念之一。)”可知，作者提到“硬币”是为了用一个简单直观的例子来简化量子计算这一复杂的概念，使读者更容易理解。故选C项。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“To use a transportation comparison, classical to quantum isn’t like going from a sportscar to a racecar. It’s more like going from a ship to a submarine (潜水艇), enabling us to study our world in a deeper way. (用交通方式来打个比方，从经典到量子，并非像从跑车升级到赛车那样。这更像是从轮船到潜水艇的转变，让我们能够以更深层次的方式研究我们的世界。)”可知，量子计算机能够使我们以一种全新的、更深入的方式研究世界，即把我们的研究带到一个新的维度。故选A项。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Plus, one significant drawback of quantum computers is the danger they pose to passwords. Since quantum computers can process vast amounts of data, they could be used to break the passwords for personal data. (此外，量子计算机的一个显著缺点是它们对密码构成的威胁。由于量子计算机能够处理海量数据，它们可能会被用来破解个人数据的密码。)”可知，量子计算对私人信息构成威胁，这是它的局限之一。故选C项。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite these challenges and concerns, the quantum age is around the corner, and the world will be changed by the breakthroughs this technology will achieve. (尽管存在这些挑战和担忧，但量子时代即将来临，这项技术所取得的突破将改变世界。)”可知，尽管量子计算面临挑战，但它的发展是不可阻挡的。故选D项。
32．A 33．A 34．D 35．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了全球正经历的孤独危机，探讨了孤独产生的原因，包括社交方式的转变、过度自我依赖以及线上交流缺乏深度等，并提出了应对孤独的方法，如做自己喜欢的事、锻炼、上课或参加体育活动等。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段中“People used to belong to a variety of social clubs where they met face-to-face, whereas now, life seems to have shifted online, where people shop, hold work meetings, date, play games, etc. In fact, American adults spend significantly less time socializing face-to-face than they did 20 years ago. Adults in other countries are no better.(过去，人们常常属于各种各样的社交俱乐部，在那里他们进行面对面的交流，而现在，生活似乎已经转移到了线上，人们在线上购物、开工作会议、约会、玩游戏等等。事实上，与20年前相比，美国成年人花在面对面社交上的时间大幅减少。其他国家的成年人情况也并不乐观。)”可知，作者通过对比过去和现在人们的社交方式来阐述第二段中提到的孤独问题。故选A项。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段“Mental health experts say that even though there is digital connectedness, loneliness among young adults is high because their communication is usually shallow. Clinical psychologist Haikal Jamil says, “Online connections tend to focus on brief, surface-level exchanges such as likes, comments and short messages, rather than supportive conversations.” (心理健康专家表示，尽管存在数字连接，但年轻人中的孤独感却很高，因为他们的交流通常很肤浅。临床心理学家Haikal Jamil说：“线上联系往往侧重于简短、表面层次的交流，比如点赞、评论和短消息，而非能提供支持的对话。”)”可知，在线交流不能取代面对面社交是因为它缺乏深度的互动。故选A项。
34．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“A U.S. study found that when people like what they do every day, whether work or a hobby, their chances of experiencing loneliness diminish. (一项美国研究发现，当人们喜欢自己每天所做的事情时，无论是工作还是爱好，他们感到孤独的可能性都会diminish。)”可知，当人们喜欢他们每天做的事情时，他们体验孤独的机会应该会“减少，降低”，因此diminish应与Decrease意思相近，表示“减少，降低”。故选D项。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“If you’ve ever felt lonely, you’re not the only one. In a survey conducted late last year in the U.S., 20 percent of adults reported feeling lonely, and this feeling is not limited to the U.S. (如果你曾经感到孤独，你并不是唯一一个有这种感受的人。去年年底在美国进行的一项调查显示，20%的成年人表示感到孤独，而且这种感受并非仅限于美国。)”可知，文章主要介绍了全球正经历的孤独危机，探讨了孤独产生的原因，并提出了应对孤独的方法。所以“Acknowledging and handling loneliness (承认并处理孤独)”为文章的核心主旨。故选C项。
36．G 37．D 38．F 39．C 40．B

(试试由东北大学的神经学家Rachel Hopman提出的、有研究支持的法则，这些法则旨在通过户外活动时间来改善身心健康。)”提出的“通过户外活动来改善身心健康”的主题以及下文列举的具体的户外活动方法可知，G选项“These methods emphasize small, manageable steps that can lead to big rewards. (这些方法强调小而可控的步骤，却能带来显著成效。)”中的“These methods”指代上文的“research-backed rules”，既承接上文引出的“户外法则”，又点明法则“易执行、效果好”的特点，为下文具体法则的展开做了铺垫。故选G项。
37．根据上文“However, Dr. Mary Hunter, lead author of the study, emphasizes the importance of disconnecting during these moments. (然而，该研究的主要作者Mary Hunter博士强调，在这些时刻断开联系的重要性。)”可知，上文提出了在这些户外活动时刻断开联系的重要性，D选项“Avoid the use of social media, phone calls, and reading. (避免使用社交媒体、打电话和阅读。)”具体说明了如何断开联系，即避免使用社交媒体、打电话和阅读，与上文紧密相连。故选D项。
38．根据上文“Aim for five hours a month in half-wild spaces such as state parks. (目标是每个月在州立公园等半野外空间待上五个小时。)”和下文“Finnish researchers agree, finding wilder settings, with their natural “chaos,” help form a sense of calm. (芬兰研究人员对此表示赞同，他们发现更野生的环境凭借其天然的“杂乱无章”，有助于形成一种平静感。)”可知，上文提出了在半野外空间待上一定时间的建议，下文则说明了更野生的环境的好处，F选项“These environments provide heightened relaxation compared to city parks. (与城市公园相比，这些环境能提供更高程度的放松。)”中的“These environments”指代上文的“half-wild spaces”，且说明了这些环境的好处，即比城市公园更能提供放松，与下文提到的更野生的环境的好处相呼应。故选F项。
39．根据下文“Longer exposure to wild landscapes activates alpha brain waves — those linked to deep thoughts, creativity and deep relaxation, Men’s Health reported. Studies even show profound benefits for mental health: a four-day wilderness trip can reduce PTSD symptoms by 29 percent and stress by 21 percent. (《男性健康》报道称，长时间置身于野外环境会激活阿尔法脑波 —— 这种脑波与深度思考、创造力和深度放松有关。研究甚至显示，这对心理健康有着显著益处：为期四天的野外旅行能使创伤后应激障碍症状减轻29%，压力减轻21%。)”可知，下文说明了长时间暴露在野外景观中的好处，C选项“Bury yourself in nature for three days annually. (每年让自己沉浸在大自然中三天。)”提出了每年让自己沉浸在大自然中三天的建议，与下文提到的长时间暴露在野外景观中的好处相契合，且“three days”与下文的“four-day”相呼应，表明了时间上的连续性。故选C项。
40．根据上文“Studies even show profound benefits for mental health: a four-day wilderness trip can reduce PTSD symptoms by 29 percent and stress by 21 percent. (研究甚至显示，这对心理健康有着显著益处：为期四天的野外旅行能使创伤后应激障碍症状减轻29%，压力减轻21%。)”可知，上文说明了野外旅行的即时效果，B选项“Its effects can even last for weeks afterward. (其效果甚至可以在之后持续数周。)”中的“Its effects”指代上文提到的野外旅行对心理健康的好处，进一步说明该效果的持续性，补充了野外旅行效果的“时长优势”，使内容更完整。故选B项。

语法填空：
56．that 57．were bent 58．for 59．projects 60．to change 61．social/societal 62．recycling 63．and/or 64．inspired 65．connection
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国浙江省横坑村附近的竹林露天剧院的建造特点，以及该剧院与其他七个中国建筑项目一同在纽约现代艺术博物馆展出的相关情况，展现了新一代中国建筑师在建筑可持续性方面的探索。
56．考查表语从句。句意：然而，令人不可思议的是，建造这座剧院实际上没有砍伐任何竹子。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的为表语从句，从句中不缺成分，且句子意思完整，应用从属连词that来引导。故填that。
57．考查时态和语态。句意：相反，人们将活着的竹子弯曲并捆扎起来，直到它们形成顶部带有圆形开口的穹顶。根据语意可知，主语living bamboo trees与谓语动词bend之间是被动关系，即竹子被弯曲，且根据后面的roped可知，动作发生在过去，所以应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语trees为复数，be动词应用were。故填were bent。
58．考查介词。句意：这座所谓的竹剧院由DnA建筑设计事务所的徐甜甜设计，旨在为当地社区提供一个开展文化活动的空间。provide sth. for sth./sb.为固定搭配，意为“为……提供某物”，介词for表示“为了”。故填for。
59．考查名词复数。句意：它与来自中国各地的另外七个项目一起，在纽约现代艺术博物馆的一场展览中被重点展示，该展览旨在改变人们对中国当代建筑理念的理解。根据空前的seven other可知，此处应用可数名词project的复数形式。故填projects。
60．考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。seek to do sth.为固定用法，意为“试图做某事；努力做某事”，所以此处应用动词change的不定式形式作宾语。故填to change。
61．考查形容词。句意：这场名为“再利用、更新、回收：中国近期建筑”的展览，展示了新一代中国建筑师通过改造工业建筑、回收材料和重新诠释古老建筑技术，来促进社会和环境的可持续发展。此处与environmental并列，修饰名词sustainability，应用society的形容词形式social/societal作定语，意为“社会的”。故填social/societal。
62．考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子可知，“transforming industrial buildings”、“____7____ (recycle) materials”和“reinterpreting ancient building techniques”是三个并列的结构，均作介词by的宾语，形式需保持一致，均用动名词形式。故填recycling。
63．考查连词。句意：如今，可持续性的含义通常由大量标准和（或）认证来定义，而非实际的空间体验。此处“standards”与“certifications”为并列关系（表 “和”）或选择关系（表 “或”），用连词and或or均可。故填and/or。
64．考查非谓语动词。句意：但该展览引入了一个更精妙的定义，这个定义源于传统材料的使用以及建筑与自然之间更紧密的联系。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词introduces，所以此处应用inspire的非谓语动词形式，因其与被修饰的名词definition之间是被动关系，即定义被启发，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填inspired。
65．考查名词。句意：同上。根据空前的不定冠词a和形容词比较级stronger可知，此处应用connect的名词单数形式connection，意为“联系”。故填connection。
写作：
Dear Mr. Smith，
I’m Li Hua, a participant in the Summer School program. I’m writing to report an incident of bullying I witnessed yesterday afternoon near the gym, and I hope you can do something to help him.
A group of students surrounded Mike, pushing him and taking his backpack, while he stood there silently, looking terrified. Bullying is a serious issue that can cause lasting emotional harm to victims. It violates the principles of respect and safety that our school upholds. As a new student, I felt powerless to intervene alone, so I’m turning to you for help.
I sincerely hope you can investigate this matter promptly and take measures to support Mike. Please ensure such incidents do not happen again. Thank you for your attention.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Eventually, I found the courage to talk to my parents. I sat them down and told them everything, my heart pounding. I confessed my mistakes, my fears, and how I had let them down. I also shared how ChatGPT had helped me realize the importance of honesty. They listened, their expressions softening. My dad put a hand on my shoulder and said, “We’re disappointed, but we’re glad you’re owning up. We’ll help you get back on track.” My mom wiped away a tear and nodded. The weight on my chest lifted.
From then on, I stopped using ChatGPT to cheat for my assignments. Instead, I worked hard, asked for help when needed, and took pride in my own efforts. I still talked to ChatGPT sometimes, but it was no longer a crutch. It was a friend who listened and encouraged. My grades improved, but more importantly, my self-esteem soared. I knew that I was capable of achieving great things through hard work and honesty, and that was a lesson I would never forget.
