LET POOR SLEEP BE A THING OF THE PAST with the amazing Gx Suspension Pillow
Whatever your sleep problems, the dream of a good night’s sleep has now become a reality-thanks to a breakthrough invention — the Gx Suspension Pillow. All conventional pillows flatten significantly during sleep — becoming less supportive and more uncomfortable as the night progresses. The result of this is disturbed and broken sleep, frustration and the fruitless search for a better pillow. That search is now over!
To stop the flattening, we’ve come up with a solution that’s so simple. It’s original. By the clever installation of “double X” internal ties we have produced the world’s first pillow lo keep much more of its plump shape all night long.
The ties work to pull the pillow in and up so that your head and neck are gently cradled (承托) and supported in softly sprung comfort. As well as having the revolutionary internal ties, the pillow shell is 100 percent cotton with our superb hypoallergenic Polycoz filling, and we have added a unique air vent (通风口) to help you keep cool through the night.
As if all these benefits were not enough, you can purchase the pillow with our 30-night comfort guarantee-total satisfaction or your money back.

On June 4, 2025, Wei Dongyi, a well-known mathematics professor at Peking University, launched his official social media account. Verified (证实) by the platform and supported by his family, the account shares mathematical knowledge, interacts with the public, and corrects false information.
Wei is renowned for his exceptional mathematical abilities. As a high school student, he won two gold medals with full marks at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in 2008 and 2009, setting a Chinese record in the process. His unique “Wei Method” surprised his peers and experts alike. At the age of 28, he became a professor at Peking University, specializing in complex mathematical problems. His research has achieved significant breakthroughs, with publications in top-tier (顶尖的) academic journals.
The new account posts math content suitable for all levels. His first video, in which he simply says, “Hello, I’m Wei Dongyi”, attracted over 10 million followers within three days (by June 7). Gaokao students flooded the comments section with exam-related wishes, turning it into a virtual “wishing pool”.
Wei’s family emphasizes that the account is intended for sharing knowledge, not for making a profit. Despite his fame, he leads a modest lifestyle, often seen carrying steamed buns (馒头) and water, and remains focused on teaching.
Through this initiative, Wei hopes to foster a love of math among young people. By sharing his expertise, he aims to inspire a deeper interest in the subject.
4. The underlined word “renowned” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

Scientists have learned more about the inner workings of the Earth, The results suggest that the Earth’s inner core may be starting to spin more slowly than the Earth.
The Earth is made up of several layers. The thin, outer layer is called the crust. Below the crust is the mantle, which makes up about 84% of the Earth’s core. The Earth’s core has two parts: the outer Earth. Below the mantle is the core and the inner core, Both of these are made mainly of the metals iron and nickel, The outer core is liquid. But the inner core is a solid ball held in the liquid almost like the yolk in an egg.
Scientists suspected for a long time that the inner core might be spinning slightly differently from the way the Earth spins. In the 1990s, two scientists, Paul Richards and Xiaodong Song, studied the inner core by looking at “seismic waves” — shaking from earthquakes — that travel through the center of the Earth. They focused on groups and pairs of waves from earthquakes that naturally repeat.
If the inner core was spinning exactly with the Earth, each wave of the pair should have taken the same time to pass through the Earth. Instead, some moved faster than others. This was because they were hitting different parts of the inner core as it spun. Their studies revealed that the inner core was spinning in the same direction as the Earth, but slightly faster.
Now Dr Song and Yi Yang say that before 2009, the wave pairs showed that the inner core was spinning faster than the Earth. Around 2009, that seemed to change. The timing of the wave pairs was no longer different. The researchers believe that the inner core had started spinning at the same speed as the Earth.
The researchers noticed that the inner core’s spin also seemed to change speed in the early 1970s. The inner core may have a pattern of speeding up and slowing down every 70 years or so.
Not everyone agrees. Many scientists who study the Earth say more information is needed to figure out what is really going on.
8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A. Illustrate a concept B. Provide relevant information
C. Give some examples D. Introduce the research ways
9. To study the inner core, scientists analyzed mainly ______.
A. how earthquake waves go through the Earth’s center
B. in which direction the inner core spins
C. how many waves come from an earthquake
D. why waves from earthquakes repeat naturally
10. What do many scientists think of the study result
A. It is absolutely convincing B. It is somewhat reasonable
C. It remains to be tested out D. It has been fully proved
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Is there another inner core in the Earth B. Will the Earth speed up in the future
C. Do earthquakes affect the Earth’s spin D. Is the Earth’s inner core spinning more slowly
D
Below are eight things that will have happened by the mid-point of this century — both for good and bad.
Right now, people are focused on AI potentially causing job losses — but the reality could be far worse. George Stakhov said, “By 2050, AI will have profoundly reshaped the world. There is a dark AI future where those who control AI will gain huge power, while 99 percent of the population will be disenfranchised (剥夺权利). The AI lords will control the world’s data and turn the rest of us into their serfs. The alternative is a bright AI scenario, where everyone benefits from AI through better healthcare, faster transport and less pollution.”
Futurist and former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil says that people will merge with machines by 2025. In an event he describes as the “Singularity”, Kurzweil predicts that by 2045, people will connect their brains to machines. “I have set a date for the ‘Singularity’ in 2045, which is when we will increase our effective intelligence a billionfold by merging with the intelligence we have created.”
Alien-hunting astronomer Seth Shostak bet fellow astronomers a cup of coffee that we should find aliens with in two dozen years. That means we could be in contact with ET by 2036. Shostak has since doubled down on his prediction, saying that new measurements suggest there could be billions of Earth-like worlds. That means if the Earth is the only place with life, it’s like a winner in a lottery where the odds are a billion to one. That may be the strongest argument for life in space.
Soaring humidity (湿度) and heat will lead to heatwaves where it is almost impossible for humans to survive outdoors in areas including South Asia, the Persian Gulf, and the Red Sea. By 2070, this will also be true in areas of Brazil and China. “Wet bulb ” temperatures refer to conditions where temperature and humidity are high, making it hard to survive outdoors. Humans can survive temperatures of up to 50℃ when humidity is low, but in high humidity, humans cannot survive because there is no way to cool down by sweating. Even extremely strong and fit people die within hours. Large areas of the Earth might be uninhabitable.
12. What is the dark AI future according to George Stakhov
A. Humans will have to serve AI’s masters B. AI will hold power over humans
C. Humans will earn a basic low wage D. AI will become the owner of the Earth
13. What will happen if the Singularity comes
A. People will make robots that have humanlike intelligence
B. People will increase their intelligence significantly
C. People will replace their minds with computers
D. People will have effective intelligence tests
14. What is Shostak’s attitude towards the existence of aliens
A. Doubtful B. Negative C. Approving D. Cautious
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Heatwaves occur in most areas in the world B. High humidity causes people to sweat a lot
C. People can’t live in low humidity for a long time D. Huge areas of the Earth might be uninhabitable

Cory had a quarrel with his mother for his study and left home in the morning. He had been wandering on the streets for almost a whole day, feeling so depressed and hopeless.
It was freezing cold at dusk on such a winter day. And the sky was dark. He was walking down an empty street where there were no passers-by, because people must have been at home for warmth. Cory was walking to a crossroad when suddenly he came across a little boy stuck in the middle of the road alone like him.
Cory had meant to turn a blind eye to him at first. But the boy’s situation worried him. He approached the boy, asking, “Hey! Why are you alone here Where is your mother ” “I want to find my mama and papa. Please take me home,” the boy replied, bursting into tears. Cory led him away from the crossroad. Then, he asked worriedly, “How did you come here What’s your name ”
“I’m Simon. I was playing with my dog. The dog ran away, and I ran after him for a long distance. But when I wanted to go back home, I lost my way,” cried the boy. Feeling pity for the boy, Cory made up his mind to help the boy. He couldn’t have the little boy staying here alone.
Attempting to look for his home, Cory took the little boy to different neighborhoods. But things didn’t go that smoothly as he had expected. It was getting darker and darker, and Cory thought he had to help Simon find his home. He knocked on every door, but without luck. Worn out and starving, he realized Simon must be very hungry. He offered him the chocolate he had bought with his rest money. It began to snow and he removed his coat and put it around Simon. Luckily, there was still a bakery store with the door open. He borrowed a phone to call the police station.
