Eleven students took the summer course taught by Brad Davis, a professor in the College of Environment and Design at the University of Georgia, on the practices of drawing outdoors. As a profession, landscape architects often bring to life their ideas of an outdoor space through computer pictures. The course gives these future landscape architects the tools to observe the details of a landscape and draw that scene by hand. “Students can end up producing better computer images with some hand instruction first because they know the rules, and they know how to recognize the key features of what they’re seeing,” Davis says.
The students gathered around Davis to watch him paint with watercolors. Step by step, Davis showed them how to apply thin coats of paint.Then he asked the students to paint by themselves. “You’re getting the smells and sounds, and the way the light changes. Color, depth, size, and shape all come into play as you translate the landscape onto paper,” the third-year graduate student Matthew Gauldin said of the landscape. “It helps you get more of the detail you’d miss if you were drawing from a picture. Out here, it’s alive.”
Nearly two weeks earlier, most of these students had never touched watercolor. Many had limited experience in drawing. Now they’re facing sunrise and better dealing with the challenge of its rapidly changing light.
“Before this course, I never imagined I could paint with watercolors, even at a basic level,” said JH Leigh, a fifth-year student. “In two weeks, I’ve gone from having no idea how to approach this to having a complete idea of how to do it. I’m proud to have mastered watercolors so quickly and created something beautiful.”
The experience continued well beyond their drawing boards each day. They enjoyed group dinners featuring homemade cakes and local beer, took bird-watching trips, went fishing at the beach, and took late-night drives to see mountain stars. Back on Driftwood Beach, as students packed up their drawing boards and gathered their paintings, they carried away more than drawing skills.
4．What is the purpose of Davis’s outdoor drawing course
A．To meet students’ curiosity about nature. B．To encourage relaxation for art students.
C．To reduce students’ computer dependency. D．To build practical skills for landscape design.
5．What key advantage does the drawing process offer according to Gauldin
A．Creative problem-solving. B．Free expression of feelings.
C．The hands-on learning chance. D．The sharper focus on artworks.
6．What does JH Leigh mainly point out about this course
A．It requires a lot of practice. B．It brings a sense of achievement.

In July 2023, Katey Lesneski went into the ocean off Key Largo to see the Horseshoe Reef, one of the biggest and healthiest coral reefs (珊瑚礁) still in the area. Normally, she wears a wetsuit to protect against the cold, but that day she didn’t need one — the ocean was unusually warm. Looking through her mask at the ancient reef, she saw the corals had turned white and were falling apart. “The heatwaves increased water temperatures by more than 2.5°C above normal for weeks, causing some die-offs. I was crying underwater into my mask,” said Lesneski, a scientist who leads Florida’s Mission Iconic Reefs program.
Florida is low-lying and near sea level, so hurricane floods can reach far inland, causing damage and death. The strong, rough shape of coral reefs can reduce wave energy by as much as 97 percent. “Coral reefs create a strong buffer against incoming waves. They cause waves to break offshore instead of crashing onto shore near people’s homes,” Wahl said. “If there weren’t healthy corals continuously growing on the top of these reefs, we would see greater damage during storms.”
Over the years, scientists have been trying to reduce reef loss by growing baby corals and planting them onto reefs. But facing more heatwaves and dead corals, scientists are making efforts to create new types of coral that can better deal with heat and disease. Coral researchers, working internationally, are taking corals from warmer waters near Honduras and breeding (繁殖) them with Florida corals. They hope this will lead to stronger corals that can live through more stressful conditions.
“If we don’t address climate change now, we will not have corals anymore,” Silverstein said. “These recovery efforts will give us a few more decades of stability (稳定), but eventually we’re going to reach a point where the oceans are not supporting this ecosystem anymore — and we’re very near that point.” Silverstein is not ready to give up, saying, “It’s been difficult, but to continue to do this work, we need to have confidence and consider how to do this work better, more purposefully, with possible solutions that we have in front of us.”
8．What fact about the coral reefs brought Lesneski to tears
A．Their health is damaged by pollution. B．Their survival is at risk due to warming.
C．Their tourism value has dropped greatly. D．Their location is changing during heatwaves.
9．What does the underlined word “buffer” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Model. B．Competition. C．Standard. D．Protection.
10．How do the scientists deal with the challenge facing corals
A．By adding some man-made corals. B．By controlling water temperatures.
C．By mixing species for adaptable corals. D．By providing corals with health treatments.
11．What is Silverstein’s attitude towards coral recovery work
A．Worried and doubtful. B．Realistic and determined.
C．Positive and confident. D．Disappointed and negative.
Comedy writer Joe Toplyn spent thirty years writing jokes for famous TV hosts before asking a simple question: “Can I teach a computer to be funny ” He built an AI tool named Witscript, where for six dollars a month, users could give the system a headline or a picture and receive a joke in seconds.
In a small “laugh-off” experiment, a comedian read jokes written by both Toplyn and Witscript to live audiences. Scientists measured the laughter and found that the human and computer jokes brought almost the same level of amusement to the audiences. Experts have even said that for a computer, writing certain kinds of jokes may be easier than driving a car.
One theory for why we laugh is that a joke creates two pictures in our minds at once. Here is an example: “Two fish are in a tank. One says, ‘You drive. I’ll shoot.’” The word “tank” can mean a fishbowl or a war machine, and the surprise of connecting the two makes us laugh. Toplyn turned this idea into steps for his AI tool. When given the news “Christie’s is selling a pink diamond (钻石) once owned by Marie Antoinette — a French queen whose head was cut off due to her terrible deeds,” Witscript replied, “It has the perfect cut — just like her head,” mixing jewelry and history in a clever, dark way.
However, computer humor still has clear limits. Some jokes repeat unfair fixed ideas, such as always targeting larger or older people as the punchline (笑点). Without human editors, many of the machine-produced jokes are simply disrespectful to certain communities, bringing more confusion than laughter.
More importantly, a joke is not only about the words. For now, machines can copy the shapes of jokes, but they don’t laugh, redden, or worry about a friend’s reaction. A computer cannot feel this social dance. As AI helpers become part of our daily lives, a bit of programmed humor may make them friendlier. Still, the deepest laughter will remain a human conversation of shared human needs and feelings — one heart speaking to another.
12．What does the “laugh- off” experiment show
A．AI writes jokes faster than humans. B．AI fails to judge the quality of jokes.
C．AI-written jokes match human humor. D．AI finds writing jokes easier than driving.
13．What are the examples in paragraph 3 intended to explain
A．History is a rich source of jokes. B．AI-made jokes are mostly boring.
C．Dark humor requires high intelligence. D．AI can create humor with smart connections.
14．What worries the author about AI-made humor
A．It slows down human creativity. B．It can be costly for ordinary users.
C．It may have negative social effects. D．It hardly touches on people’s lifestyles.
15．Which of the following reflects the main idea of the text
A．Real humor lies in emotional connections. B．Humor depends on culture and surprise.
C．Comedians will possibly lose jobs to AI. D．AI is progressing fast in creative tasks.
Have you ever wondered why children can effortlessly remember movie lines but struggle to recall history lessons The explanation is quite simple: they focus only when truly interested. 16 As a result, even the most carefully prepared lessons may become ineffective. To improve learning, help your children develop natural focus with the following practical methods.
17 Children have lots of energy, and physical activity exercises the mind and makes helpful chemicals that improve brain function and focus. Fun workouts, like dancing or running around the house, can prepare them for learning. Even a quick 10-minute workout before school can work wonders.
When it comes to children’s ability to focus, quality sleep plays a key role. According to the National Sleep Foundation, kids aged 6 to 13 need 9-11 hours of sleep nightly, while teenagers require 8-10 hours. Without enough rest, kids struggle to stay awake and fully focused on their lessons, just like tired adults. 18
What equally contributes to focus is providing healthy meals. Meals rich in protein (蛋白质) and healthy fats provide lasting energy. 19 Avoiding sugary snacks can prevent energy crashes and greatly improve concentration. Simple choices — such as fruits instead of chips, or whole-wheat bread over white bread — help children maintain attention and improve learning readiness.
Using a timer can help children stay focused for a set period. You can start by having your child practise one single activity for three minutes first. Next week, try increasing it to five minutes. Finishing before the beep (嘟嘟声) feels like a win, inspiring kids to work faster over time. 20 And the simple method suits all children.
A．Playing outdoors comes with possible risks.
B．However, too much sugar makes the brain foggy.
C．Balanced daily habits support focus and overall health.
D．This practice builds both concentration and confidence.
E．Get kids moving first, as exercise improves brain power.
F．Boredom can cause their minds to block new information.
G．Therefore, they should follow a strict bedtime for daytime energy.

In an increasingly digital world, there is a widening gap between generations. Seniors are left in the community experiencing great 21 , while children are drawn to screens. 22 this divide, a local community center started an Intergenerational Summer Camp by 23 grandmothers with kids.Each week, the grandmas teach kids aged 8 to 14 real-life 24 .
At nine, Janna joined the camp for the grandmas’ cooking, but was soon 25 by sewing (缝纫). “In the first class, I felt completely 26 . My fingers just wouldn’t go through the tiny needle (针) eye. Grandma Haqiqah patiently 27 me on how to use the tools and shared her first sewing disaster, 28 both my fingers and my mind. Soon, I managed to use a needle 29 . Moreover, the process of creation brings me a sense of 30 that is often absent in our digital life,” Janna reflected.
For Haqiqah, sharing her knowledge of sewing was a way to feel 31 and needed again. Meanwhile, in conversations with the teens, she gained 32 on AI and its uses in daily life. With her own grandchildren living far away, Haqiqah found the children’s laughter and liveliness quietly 33 a part of her life that she hadn’t realized was so empty.
By summer’s end, the creative camp’s 34 was clear, as it rebuilt a bridge of respect and love between two generations. It proved that the most valuable lessons aren’t found in textbooks, but are from the 35 moments of storytelling and laughter.

Ahead of this month’s springtime festival of Basant, people pushed shoulder to shoulder into the streets in Lahore’s Old City, looking for kites and the string 36 (need) to fly them.
This is not the scene that shoppers here remember from Basant in the past. The kite festival was legally held this month in Lahore for the first time since 2007, 37 a provincial ban on Basant took effect.
Basant’s return for three days in early February saw 38 more regulated version of the traditional spring festival — with strict rules for kite sellers, banned items for buyers and a set window (特定时间段) for when kites were allowed in the sky.
There was a reason for these limits: Kite flying in the province 39 (become) dangerous before earlier kite flying regulations were put in place in 2005. For many in Lahore, kite flying isn’t a form of 40 (relax). It’s a competitive sport. Over time, this competition gave rise 41 the use of stronger, synthetic kite string.
Saleem-ud-Din, a kite maker in Lahore, says the increased use of this string changed things. “It became unsafe,” he says, 42 (add) that he and other craftsmen didn’t support it. “We say whatever bad thing people are using, get rid of it.”
The provincial government prevented people from using the string to make kite-flying 43 (safe). One major task for Basant was making sure those varieties 44 (transport) legally into the city from other parts of Pakistan, where production is less regulated.
Now that Basant is officially over, according to Punjabi law, kite flying is back to being prohibited (禁止). It’s 45 (clear) whether Basant will return to Lahore or other parts of Punjab next year.

As a mom, Christmas always kept me busy. Last year, my to-do list was longer than ever — I planned to bake 750 cookies in 10 varieties, a holiday tradition of mine. However, with extra social events and duties, I managed the easy ones early and put off making my four-year-old Avery’s favorite — gingerbread (姜饼) cookies — until mid-December. For months, she had dreamed of biting into a “blue-iced boy”, and I promised to save her the first one.
One freezing December night, while my husband Matt and I were washing dishes, Avery rushed into the kitchen with a messy mouth. “The dirt outside fell in my mouth,” she said nervously. Matt and I exchanged a doubtful look — she hadn’t gone out. It was below freezing outside, and she wore no coat or shoes. Her story made no sense, and a worried feeling grew heavy in my chest.
“Sweetie, tell me the truth,” I asked, getting down to her level. She led me all around the house, making up excuses, until I found small pieces of something dark in the bathroom sink(洗脸盆) upstairs. I got really scared,and my voice grew serious. “Avery, this is important. Tell me what you ate — it could make you sick.”
Her eyes filled with tears. “The cookie,” she answered softly. But there were no cookies out —until it hit me: the pretty gingerbread decoration hanging on the Christmas tree in the living room. Hand in hand, we walked over and found the piece on a lower branch, one arm already missing. Matt and I laughed, feeling a bit relieved.
We sat her down and explained gently that it wasn’t a real cookie, adding that while honesty mattered most, we weren’t angry — we were just thankful she hadn’t gotten hurt by anything harmful. Avery burst into tears, apologizing repeatedly and promising never to do it again. Her sincere regret warmed our hearts. We hugged her close, understanding that her silly cover-up came from a simple, hungry wish.
Later that night, Matt and I reflected on the issue in the living room.

Two days later, the warm, sweet smell of gingerbread filled our kitchen.

46．Dear teachers and students,
As a source of life, water plays a key role in ecosystems and human well-being. However, increasing water shortages are threatening our quality of life now and the well-being of future generations.
We can contribute to saving water through simple daily actions. For example, remember to turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. Reusing water for plants is another great idea. Furthermore, replacing old equipment with water-saving appliances is an effective way to reduce water waste. Finally, avoid throwing waste into rivers, lakes, or oceans, as it leads to water pollution.
Every small action counts, and we can make a significant impact together through everyday efforts.
The Students’ Union
47．One possible version:
Later that night, Matt and I reflected on the issue in the living room. “She just wanted what I’d promised,” I said with a heavy breath, feeling sorry for my hold-ups. “At least she learned about honesty today. And we have realized the importance of listening to the small wishes,” Matt said softly, lifting the weight off my shoulders. I placed the decoration back on the tree, deciding to make the gingerbread cookies as soon as I could to cheer Avery up. Most importantly, I wanted to embrace the holiday spirit, creating Christmas memories we could cherish forever.
Two days later, the warm, sweet smell of gingerbread filled our kitchen. We had spent the whole afternoon making the cookies joyfully, with Avery helping to cut out the shapes. Standing proudly on a small chair,she carefully iced a cookie. “This one is for you, Mommy,” she said with a big smile, handing me the first finished blue-iced gingerbread boy. As I took a bite, the sweetness went beyond sugar — it was about keeping promises, honoring traditions, and the messy, beautiful truth that the best holiday magic grows not from perfect plans, but from heartfelt moments of connection.
