Aurora Nikula,5, is having a normal day at her nursery. She is making a cake out of sand and mud, adding in make-believe carrots, potatoes and meat. Aki Sinkkonen, a scientist,is watching. He's also very interested in Aurora's cake, but for different reasons.“Perfect,” he says, admiring the way she is mixing soil, sand and leaves and then putting it on her face.“She's really getting her hands in it.”
To a hygiene-conscious (注重卫生的) kindergarten, this could be a problem, but atHumpula daycare centre in Helsinki, children are encouraged to increase their contact with the microscopic (微生物的) biodiversity. This kindergarten was included in a two-year study looking at how biodiversity enhancements affect the microbial composition of children's skin and saliva.
The staff dug up and installed a giant live carpet of forest floor. The plants, dead wood and soil in the daycare centre were specially selected for their rich micro-biodiversity.Children grow carrots, potatoes and cucumbers, harvesting and cooking what they plant.When winter approaches, the crops fade —— but the outdoor adventures do not.
A year later, it found that children who were in contact with nature had a lower probability of catching an illness resulting from disorders in the immune system. The results support the“old friends” hypothesis (假设) that humans evolved alongside microbes in air, plants and soil. The body can exchange useful microbes with the natural world to stay healthy.Without contact with these organisms ——— through soil, plants, and air ———— immune function can become overactive, leading to disease.
The kindergartens provide evidence of just how crucial healthy ecosystems are to human health. As biodiversity, habitats and wild species are lost around the planet, there is huge potential harm for human wellbeing. Increasing. on site biodiversity can be a win-win for children's health and the environment.
Based on that, the University of Sheffield has done research on installing green barriers around school playgrounds to prevent air pollution from harming children's health.Hunter's Bar infant school in Sheffield created a 70-metre-long fence of plants that wraps around the playground. Nitrogen dioxide (NO ). concentrations in the playground were reduced by 13% six months after planting, and further decreases are expected as the fence matures.
24. What does the underlined word“this” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Guided hands-on practice.
B. Kids’ exposure to dirt and mud.
C. Delicious homemade food for kids.
D. The diversity of species in nurseries.
25. What did the staff at Humpula daycare centre do
A. Rewild their kindergarten.
B. Grow a forest in the backyard.
C. Expand forest education among kids.
D. Introduce kids to sustainable farming.
26. Why does nature contact reduce people's chance of getting sick
A. It uplifts their mood.
B. It enhances co-evolution.
C. It removes harmful microbes.
D. It balances their immune system.
27. Why does the author mention the Sheffield study
A. To advocate for green schools.
B. To give direction for further research.
C. To promote healthy growth in shool children.
D. To show an application of the research finding.

Fancy letting a machine mediate (调解) your argument It could be the latest application for AI. Scientists at Google's DeepMind project designed what they call the HabermasMachine, a large language AI named after German philosopher Jürgen Habermas.
The system works by taking written views of individuals within a group and using them to generate a set of group statements designed to be acceptable to all. Group members can then rate these statements. The most popular statement is then returned to participants to assess. Next, the AI mediation system generates revised statements, which participants again rate. The system then selects the winning statement.
The team used the system in a series of experiments involving a total of more than5,000 participants who responded to various topics. The researchers found the initial group statement from the Habermas Machine was preferred by participants 56% of the time over a group statement produced by human mediators.
Part of the model's success, researchers say, lies in its determination to give special weight to dissenting opinion. It was not the case that participants always switched opinion to support the majority view. Rather than siding with the majority, it allowed minority voices to feel heard.
The AI mediation system“offers a new approach to collective deliberation (审议) that avoids some of the limitations of in-person deliberation, including its cost, limited scale,the potential for mediator bias.” the researchers conclude. However, the AI mediation process may lack some of the benefits of in-person disoussion, they write, such as“nonverbal clues and the opportunit y to build interpersonal relationships with other discussants.”Machine seldom offers participants the chance to explain their feelings.
In addition, the researchers note that the AI mediation system could generate an ill-informed output if asked to synthesize (合成) human opinions that are based on limited or biased information. Thus, the researchers conclude that if their system is used in the real world, it should be“embedded in a larger deliberative process, including careful selection of participants to ensure that a balanced and diverse community is represented in the debate.”
28. What is Habermas Machine aimed at
A. Simplifying rating system.
B. Facilitating greater agreement.
C. Managing interpersonal conflict.
D. Honouring the German philosopher.
29. What does the underlined word“dissenting” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Informed. B. Novel. C. Differing. D. Decisive.
30. What may be the disadvantage of the AI-mediated discussions
A. They lack shared collective wisdom.
B. They raise participants’ opportunity cost.
C. They fail to tap into participants’ potential.
D. They rarely promote empathy among participants.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Risks of AI mediation.
B. Future AI developments.
C. Tips on AI mediation use.
D. Ethical concerns about AI.
D
A girl who turns up to school dressed head-to-toe in pink will probably pass unnoticed.If a boy does the same, he will inevitably face stares. Even the most non-traditional parent would think twice about exposing their son to that.
Children start paying attention to gender differences much earlier than some parents realize, according to psychologist Christia Brown,“Society emphasizes that gender is important really early in a kid's life,” she says.“We label it a lot in our language ———— we use gender as nouns all the time. So we frequently say‘oh; there’ s that girl’ or‘come on boys, let’ s go get in the car.’” Research suggests children's recognition of gender is more due to adults pointing it out than any inborn awareness of it.
Gendered toys credit certain types of skills and strengths to one gender or the other.So, when a child only plays with toys marketed for their gender, they learn a certain set of skills but do not engage as much in other types of learning. This can lead to imbalanced development in boys and girls as they grow older.
The biggest concern around buying gendered toys is that they can impact how children see themselves. Gendered representation imposes (强加于) society’ s ideas of what they should like and do instead of letting them choose for themselves what their interests and hobbies are. This can have influence on what that child decides to study in school and ultimately choose as a career.
Many retailers have made real progress over the last few years, dropping gender labels in stores and online ———— a new research shows a 70% decrease in the use of online gender navigation options since 2012 ————— but there's still work to do to challenge the stereotyped(老一套的). ways that toys are often packaged and promoted.
Researchers hope that one day, toys will stop being broken up by gender and will instead be categorized by type, like puzzle toys, dolls or children's bikes. There would still be dress-up dolls and monster toy trucks in that world, but instead of being just pink or blue, they would come in every color of the rainbow. Toy choices should be based on kids’personal interests, and not on their gender.
32. What does Christia Brown say about gender differences
A. They are probably unnoticed.
B. They are socially constructed.
C. They are biologically determined.
D. They are universally acknowledged.
33. What aspects of children are negatively affected by gendered toys
A. Their academic performance.
B. Their interpersonal relationship.
C. Their behaviours and attitudes.
D. Their physical strength and fitness.
34. What should we put efforts to change
A. How the toys are marketed. B. Where the toys are sold.
C. When the toys are rolled out. D. Who the toys are targeted at.
35. What do the researchers expect of future toys
A. They should be colourful.
B. They should be gender-neutral.
C. They should cater to kids’ tastes.
D. They should cover wider categories.

Language barriers. Culture shock. Homesickness. These are the things you might worry about before departing to study abroad. 36
After a busy year abroad —— constantly meeting new people, having new experiences and gaining independence, coming home can feel like an anti-climax (落差很大). Like many other exchange students I found myself living with my parents again after a year abroad. 37 At first, I indulged in everything I had always loved about being home:days spent lounging with cups of tea and books, tranquil walks and home-cooked dinners.But once the jetlag subsided (倒过时差), I found myself strangely lacking energy and motivation.
Why was I feeling so disconnected I realized that I had done two things while I was away: I had idealized home in my mind, and I'd expected everything to remain exactly the same while I was gone. But as I immersed myself in a new culture, I quickly adapted to a different way of life. 38 Some friendships had become distant while others had become closer together. On top of that, I felt as if I'd changed too.
39 . My friend, who studied in France, experienced something similar. She says she found herself asking:“How do I fit back into the life I had before when I feel so different ” So it's hardly surprising that once it's over, many exchange students feel at a loose end. It seems odd to me that no one at university warns you about this beforehand.
Getting a part-time job eventually helped ease my own sense of dissociation, as it gave me the structure I needed. 40 Readjusting at home has been harder than life abroad. But as I add some of the things I loved about living abroad to my home life, while realizing that there are some feelings I can't replace, I'm starting to find a new normal.
A. It turned out I wasn't alone.
B. It forced me to reflect on my identity.
C. Meanwhile, everyone at home changed.
D. It felt like I'd taken several steps backwards.
E. Daily routines formed as my language improved.
F. But for me, returning home proved the hardest of all.
G. Spending more time with family and friends helped too.

I have always been indecisive when it came to travel. I’ d watch endless videos of destinations and read scores of 41 online. But more often than not, 42 fell far short of what was promised. The colourful images I’ d come across online would turn out to be totally disappointing in real life.
So, a year ago, I made a change. I banned myself from too much 43 for a trip.Instead, I chose an area I wanted to 44 . I couldn't rely on my phone. It wasn't easy at first. I felt rudderless (漫无目的的) without my phone to guide me while wandering through 45 neighbourhoods. I was so accustomed to 46 every detail about each place I visited and without that, I was exposed.
But that's exactly why it's so fun. Going in unprepared opens you up to 47 . Without being glued to directions on my phone, I was 48 so much more of my surroundings,noticing details that would otherwise have 49 passed me by.
Travelling without planning has made me more 50 with making decisions. I no longer 51 if the view isn't as breathtaking as in the photos —— because I'm paring my 52 to anyone
else’ s.
Trying to have the 53 holiday is no longer the point for me; it's about living in the present and making good 54 . And in an era where we can see the best of everything through our phones, it's been totally 55 to have an experience that's entirely mine.

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。
For as long as I can remember, I have found small talk problematic. It was boring at best and stressful at worst. A colleague commented on the weather, when I could see for myself that it was raining.
I worked in book publishing for years, where networking was essential. I could discuss authors, print runs or marketing budgets with ease. But asking how a buyer had travelled to the event Or where a journalist had parked I didn't care! So why were these the conversations we were all having Everyone else seemed at ease, while I felt on edge.
Every exchange felt like a performance, an evaluation I was sure I was failing. I didn't understand the rules of engagement. For example, how long should small talk last ShouldI answer honestly I worried that my responses were either flat or manic (狂躁的), my questions barked out like an interrogator (审讯者).
Then came an unexpected encounter that changed everything. In early May, I attended the annual publishing gathering. I stood by the food table, holding a cup of wine and nodding with a tight smile to stop more conversation.
Then, the self-help author Wayne Dyer approached, calm and thoughtful, like a person who could find meaning in small things. He didn't lead with the usual topics about the weather or my weekend. Instead, he glanced at the event copy I was holding and remarked,“I’ ve always been struck by the cover art for this series. In your view, what really makes a cover work ” His tone was thoughtful and his gaze stayed on me. Caught off guard, I gave a real answer. We fell into a short, easy discussion about design and what drew a reader in. For once, the chat didn't feel forced; it felt like an exchange. I felt listened to.
With a brief smile, he drifted away, leaving his words hanging in the air,“Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.”

1.续写词数应为150左右；

One possible version:
Dear Chris,
I'm writing to share with you my experience of shooting a short video on rural revitalization.
We arrived early in the morning and were immediately drawn to the peaceful beauty of the countryside. We filmed farmers working in the fields, elderly women weaving bamboo baskets,and children playing by a newly restored stream—— all telling the story of a community on the rise.We also interviewed a young man who had returned to his hometown to start an organic farm. His passion and determination left a deep impression on all of us.
This experience taught me more than I expected. I realized that rural revitalization is not just about better infrastructure, but also about hope, tradition, and young people choosing to contribute to their hometowns. It also made me appreciate the simplicity and warmth of rural life. I' ve attached a photo from the shoot. Hope you like it!

One possible version:
Inspired, I decided to try a new approach. When a colleague mentioned a long drive, Inodded and asked,“Was the audiobook any good I'm always looking for a recommendation.” He blinked, and launched into an enthusiastic review of a history podcast series. In a meeting, instead of asking about someone's weekend, I noted the hiking boots under the table and inquired,“Which trail broke those in ” The usually quiet designer grinned and shared stories about weekend summit hikes. Gradually, every exchange felt like a real connection rather than forced small talk. Wayne was right: it wasn't about learning how to handle small talk, but about changing my relationship with it entirely.
Now small talk no longer causes me anxiety. By asking myself what I might genuinely want to know about a person, I feel engaged in every encounter. I'm not performing politeness; I'm following a thread of curiosity. I'm not simply filling the silence; I'm bridging it with real interest.To me, small talk feels like a door waiting to be opened. Looking back, I owe that transformation to Wayne. His simple yet profound advice doesn't just help me survive small talk ——— it helps me find genuine connection in the most unexpected places. And for that, I will always be grateful.
