My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.
And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful.
Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts.
“Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it.
After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.”

A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples.
C. By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics.

C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins.

B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

We all pursue an ideal weight number for health and confidence often using childhood memories, online calculators or BMI charts. However, Dr. Yoni Freedhoff warns these methods fail to consider individual differences. Our bodies change dramatically with age due to metabolism (新陈代谢) and lifestyle.
For decades, Body Mass Index (BMI) dominated weight assessments. This simple height-weight calculation sorts people from underweight to overweight. Yet Dr. Melanie Jay from NYU points out its problems: BMI gives the same ranges for 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents. It ignores muscle mass, bone density, and health conditions, sometimes regarding fit individuals as overweight. Recent studies show that nearly 30% of people classified as overweight by BMI actually have healthy body fat percentages and normal metabolic profiles.
Newer metrics like the Body Roundness Index (BRI) focus on waist size instead of weight. “Belly fat is more dangerous than overall weight,” says Dr. Jay. Research indicates fat around organs produces harmful chemicals linked to diabetes and heart disease. However, even BRI has limitations — it can’t distinguish between fat types or account for medical conditions affecting belly size, such as digestive disorders.
Doctors increasingly emphasize overall health markers over specific weights. “Instead of focusing on a’magic number,’ we examine blood pressure, cholesterol (胆固醇), sleep quality and energy levels,” notes Dr. Jay. For those with weight-related conditions, even 5-10% weight loss can significantly improve health. A 2023 study found patients who achieved modest weight reduction showed better health markers than those pursuing extreme weight loss.
The healthiest weight, experts agree, isn’t found on charts but through sustainable habits. “When you eat nutritiously and stay active, your body finds its natural healthy weight,” advises Dr. Freedhoff. For some, medications or surgery may help, but the real goal is lifestyle change — not to achieve an ideal number on your scale. True health,after all, is measured not by a momentary reading on a scale, but by the daily choices that nourish both body and life.
8. Why does the author mention 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents
A. To show BMI’s limitations. B. To prove BMI’s popularity.
C. To describe BMI’s main users. D. To introduce BMI’s target group.
9. What is the main advantage of BRI
A. It clarifies different kinds of fat. B. It evaluates all types of body fat.
C. It measures highly risky body fat. D. It identifies harmful chemicals in fat.
10. What is Dr. Jay’s suggestion for weight assessment
A. Stopping using BMI. B. Focusing on specific weights.
C. Considering multiple health signs. D. Adopting rapid weight loss approaches.
11. What does the author think of people’s pursuing an ideal weight number
A. Reasonable. B. Unhelpful. C. Dangerous. D. Practical.
D
When we think about what makes humans unique, a good sense of humor is often high on the list. Laughter and playful teasing seem like traits only we possess. However, recent research suggests that animals — particularly great apes — may also engage in behavior that resembles humor.
A study led by primatologist (灵长类动物学家) Isabelle Laumer at the Max Planck Institute reveals fascinating insights. “We documented young apes deliberately sneaking up to hit adults, then waiting expectantly for a reaction,” Laumer explains. “This isn’t random play — it meets all the criteria of intentional teasing.” Over 75 hours of video recordings showed this behavior mirrors how human children joke: repetitive, surprising, and aimed at seeking responses. The researchers noted that the apes even paused to watch for the adult’s reaction, much like a child waiting to see if their joke landed.
But humor in animals may not be limited to apes. Dog owners often notice their pets making breathy, snorting sounds during play, which some scientists interpret as laughter. In a 2025 study, researchers found that playing these sounds to shelter dogs reduced their stress levels. Similarly, dolphins emit joyful sounds during play-fighting, elephants trumpet excitedly when playing, and some parrots tease other animals — like confusing dogs with whistles — just for fun.
Why might animals exhibit humor In humans, laughter strengthens social connections and eases tension. Scientists argue that playful teasing in apes or “laughter” in dogs could serve a similar purpose — breaking the ice and reinforcing relationships. Some researchers believe these behaviors may have evolved (进化) to help animals manage complex social ranks or reduce conflict. However, Laumer cautions that more research is needed to confirm this theory, as observing humor in animals remains challenging.
While we may never know if animals understand punchlines, their behaviors hint at humor’s deep evolutionary roots. As Laumer reflects: “The line between human and animal laughter isn’t as sharp as we thought.”
12. What did Laumer’s study find about young apes
A. They enjoy teasing others. B. They often fight in groups.
C. They seek adult protection. D. They learn from human kids.
13. What does the underlined word “trumpet” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Wag. B. Smile. C. Nod. D. Shout.
14. Why might animals show humor
A. To improve social status. B. To strengthen social bonds.
C. To win in complex conflicts. D. To get much more pleasure.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Animal Social Behaviors B. Do Animals Copy Our Laughs
C. Animals Play Tricks Too D. Why Animals Understand Humor

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出的填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Expeditions (探险) offer unforgettable experiences, but capturing (捕捉) those moments with a smartphone camera can be challenging, especially for amateur photographers. ____16____ However, they don’t really know how to use their cameras. Here are some tips to help amateur photographers improve their shots without having to invest in a fancy camera.
Know your camera before the trip. One of the most valuable pieces of advice is to become familiar with your camera before starting your expedition because different cameras have different functions and features, like the long-exposure option or the wide-angle lens. ____17____ The more comfortable you are with your device, the quicker you’ll be able to capture brief moments like a bird in midflight or a whale breaking through the water’s surface.
Focus on composition and scale (比例) for dramatic position is key when photographing landscapes and wildlife. ____18____ Dramatic lighting, high contrast and incorporating elements provide a sense of scale to your images. For instance, when photographing a mountain range, including a person, boat or building in the frame (画面) can highlight the vastness of the landscape.
____19____ Capturing wildlife on camera can be one of the most rewarding but challenging aspects of an expedition. The key to taking great wildlife photos is understanding animal behaviour. Observing how animals interact with their environment will allow you to anticipate their movements and capture the perfect shot. It’s not about fast reactions. Wildlife can be unpredictable, so instead of rushing towards your subject, approach slowly and give the animal time to adapt to your presence. ____20____ It also creates better opportunities for capturing genuine, unguarded moments.
An expedition is an exciting opportunity to witness wildlife and landscapes and capturing those moments can make the experience more memorable.
A. Understand animal behaviour.
B. This method results in relaxed animals.
C. People do pay a lot of money for these phones.
D. So you don’t handle it awkwardly before an incredible view.

57. 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。
Writing was my passion. I had always been the best writer in my class. But then, the balance of my little universe shifted — Ethan transferred (转学) to our school.
Ethan was quiet. He seemed lost in his own world, and the other students didn’t know how to approach him. He was often alone, and it was clear that he felt out of place. I didn’t pay much attention at first. But then came the day that changed everything.
It was a writing class like any other, until our teacher assigned us a creative essay. I dove into my work, confident as always. When it was time to share, I listened politely as my classmates read their essays, but my mind was already racing ahead to the praise I knew would come my way. Then, Ethan’s turn arrived. He stood up, his voice soft but steady, and began to read. His words painted a picture of an old, forgotten library, where time stood still and the pages of ancient books whispered stories of forgotten worlds.
When he finished, the room fell silent. Then, thunderous applause spread across the class. Our teacher’s eyes shone with delight. “Ethan,” she said, “you have a rare gift. With your talent, you’re bound to win the upcoming writing competition.”
The words hung in the air like a challenge. I had always been the star of our literary world, but now, it seemed, a new light had appeared — one that threatened to outshine mine.
That evening, I had a talk with my father. When I finished, he sighed softly and said, “Jealousy is a thief that steals our joy. It’s easy to see Ethan as a rival (对手) , but perhaps he’s just a fellow traveler on the same journey. Instead of pushing him away, why not reach out You might discover that his light doesn’t dim (使黯淡) yours — it only makes the world brighter.” At that moment, I seemed to realize something.
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。
The next day, I approached Ethan during lunch.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day forward Ethan and I met regularly to write and discuss our work.
