In 1975, five-year-old Jeff, in a wheelchair, asked his parents if he could meet Fred Rogers of the Neighborhood rather than going to Disneyland. It was the family’s own version of “Make-A-Wish,” proposed on the eve of Jeff’s major spinal (脊椎的) surgery. Jeff said Mr. Rogers told him that he was special and that he was just fine the way he was, and it gave him confidence and made him feel good.
Jeff’s parents wrote a letter to the television star about the boy’s desire to meet him, and they got a handwritten answer that led to a breakfast meeting at a hotel. Later they continued to correspond; Rogers wrote to say how glad he was that Jeff’s surgery had gone well. Then in 1980, Rogers decided he wanted to have a child in a wheelchair on his show for a theme week on all things mechanical. He remembered Jeff and insisted it had to be Jeff.
On the Neighborhood, Rogers asked Jeff straightforwardly about the mechanics of his wheelchair, and how he wound up in it. Producer Margy Whitmer recalled Jeff’s appearance on the show: “It was one of the most impressive moments... Here’s this child who has multiple disabilities, and Fred said, ‘Talk to me about that wheelchair. Talk to me about what’s wrong with you.’ And this extraordinary kid talked about his medical condition (resulting from spinal tumor) in a matter-of-fact way. Fred presented it to kids watching the show, as ‘this is just the way he is.’”
This was the philosophy of Fred Rogers’s complete acceptance: There was no topic he wouldn’t address on air, no matter how difficult. “We don’t fudge things,” he said once when asked about the sources of the show’s popularity. “People long to be in touch with honesty.”
Jeff and Rogers didn’t meet again until 1999, when Rogers was being honored with a place in the Television Hall of Fame. When Jeff rolled onstage to surprise him, Rogers ran up to the stage and hugged him as if they were the only two people in the auditorium. “On behalf of millions of children and grown-ups,” said Jeff, “It’s you I like.”
There wasn’t a dry eye in the well-dressed house.

D. His concern about the child’s medical condition.

Imagine scrolling (滚屏)through social media late at night and suddenly seeing photos of your friends having fun without you. You may begin to wonder why you were not invited or what you did wrong. Soon, feelings of sadness or disappointment appear. This experience is commonly known as FOMO, or the fear of missing out. It is the anxiety and unease about how others might be having more rewarding experiences than you are.
FOMO can be a passing thought that enters your mind after seeing something you wish you were a part of — a video of a concert, for example, or a picture of a graduation party. Or it can appear as an urge to check your phone for messages and updates. You might sit alone, feeling envious about how much fun others are having as you scroll through your feed, only to later realize how much time has passed you by.
This fear can affect your behavior by creating a cycle of unhealthy habits that worsen your emotional well-being. Maybe you end up agreeing to every invitation that comes your way out of fear that you’ll miss out on some magical moments, thus overcommitting yourself to events and feeling exhausted. If you’re constantly checking your phone, you’ll have a harder time focusing on tasks in front of you and may end up making more mistakes. Also, being glued to your phone late at night can make it harder to fall asleep and harm your physical and mental well-being.
If it feels like FOMO and social media have taken over your life, know that there are ways to regain control. It starts with developing a better understanding of yourself, including your feelings, motives, and values. Then, you can cut down on worry by developing mindfulness, managing anxiety, and limiting your social media usage. Besides, building self-respect and establishing genuine relationships will allow you to better appreciate your own experiences.
While you experience FOMO, the things you’re “missing out on” might be right in front of you. You can pull yourself back to the present moment, appreciate what’s happening in your life, and build a better sense of well-being.
8. Why does the text begin with a situation related to social media
A. To present a typical social activity.
B. To criticize a common online habit.
C. To explain the impact of social media.
D. To introduce a psychological concept.
9. What can be inferred about FOMO according to paragraph 2
A. It lasts only for a short time. B. It shows up in different ways.
C. It decreases work efficiency. D. It weakens one’s ties with friends.
10. Which can be a behavioral impact of FOMO according to the text
A. Calling friends for help late at night. B. Giving a like to a friend’s social post.
C. Attending all available social activities. D. Handling multiple tasks at the same time.
11. What does the author think of FOMO
A. Harmful but manageable. B. Common but overlooked.
C. Interrupting but educational. D. Underestimated but avoidable.

If time outdoors in nature were a pill you could take, the label would read “take as needed”. A dose (剂量) of nature, whether it’s a short walk or a weeklong camping trip, reliably improves human well-being. But a new study found that the relationship between indoor nature and well-being is more complex.
Past research has confirmed that indoor nature, including potted plants and natural materials, reduces stress and increases feelings of restoration and belonging. But these studies either test people’s response to nature versus no nature or use subjective levels of greenery, such as small, medium, and large amounts of plants. “There’s a huge body of literature, but we can’t refer to it because no one’s using the same methods,” explained Eva Bianchi, a Stanford PhD graduate.
Bianchi’s team developed software called the Nature View Potential tool, which precisely calculates how much nature you see from a given point in a room. Using this tool along with 3D modeling, the researchers designed 11 virtual conference rooms with varying levels of nature views. They then assigned 412 participants randomly to these digital offices and measured their stress and restoration levels before and after completing challenging tasks under pressure.
A greenery dose of about 20% — meaning plants are visible about 20% of the time as one looks around — had the strongest response in restoration and sense of belonging for participants, the researchers found. However, when greenery increased to 60%, stress levels rose.
Plus, the study highlighted the significance of connection to nature. If participants reported an increased feeling of connection to nature, they harvested more well-being benefits. But without that connection, the greenery had little effect on them. “You don’t just put a bunch of nature inside the space,” said Bianchi. “You make sure that it will successfully make the occupants feel connected.”
Bianchi’s team are also looking closer at what nature means to individuals and how that might vary. The ultimate goal is to find ways for people to maintain the restorative qualities of nature even amid increasing urbanization. “How do you get the feeling of nature indoors ” she said. “That’s why it’s so important to have some kind of standard... so we can compare across studies and make progress faster.”
12. What was the main limitation of previous studies on indoor nature
A. They used insufficient samples. B. They drew misleading conclusions.
C. They used wrong research procedures. D. They lacked a consistent measurement.
13. Why did the team assign the participants to virtual rooms
A. To protect the participants’ privacy.
B. To simplify the research procedure.
C. To examine the participants’ responses.
D. To minimize the participants’ mental stress.
14. What is one implication of the study’s findings
A. Getting greenery levels right.
B. Keeping nature views maximal.
C. Ensuring the diversity of indoor plants.
D. Filling rooms with indoor-friendly plants.
15. What does the last paragraph emphasize about the current research
A. The potential applications. B. The anticipated difficulties.
C. The achievement of the goal. D. The significance of standards.

Running behind my home is a 2-meter-wide and 80-meter-long stoned alleyway (小巷). A couple of neighbors and I tried to clear the fly-tipped (非法倾倒) chairs, fridges, and bin bags. The next thing I knew, we were building raised beds, buying organic fertilizer and planting food and flowers.
Although everyone involved has different preferences about what and how to grow, we don’t separate our plots. ____16____ We ask people to tend to the alley in whatever way they can. This gives everyone ownership of the space, whether they’re permanent residents or short-time renters.
To get our community involved, one person knocked on doors to let everyone know about the plan, and to ask if they’d be willing to help. ____17____ Eventually, we all started meeting each other and seeing how much each of us was able to achieve. I created an online chat group so we could communicate easily and organize days when we could all garden together.
It hasn’t always been smooth sailing. There has been willful damage and theft, although it doesn’t happen often. ____18____ Consequently, there’s certainly less fly-tipping and antisocial behavior than before.
Warm summer afternoons when we all come out to tidy, garden, or socialize fill me with happiness. ____19____ This atmosphere really demonstrates how community gardens can change neighborhoods for the better.
____20____ Now that fly-tipping is a rare occurrence, we focus on growing food for insects and people. In the summer, we now have bees, butterflies, moths, and more. We’ve even seen a fox walking along the street. This fills me with pride because it shows our work really benefits our entire area and everyone-and everything-in it.
A. Still, we try to solve these issues together.
B. Every one of us was amazed at our own hard work.
C. The community has learned a lot from the cooperation.
D. We grow plants together to bring the community closer.
E. And these gatherings usually turn into an evening hang out.
F. The biggest achievement has been seeing an increase in biodiversity.
G. In the meantime, we individually worked on little bits of the alleyway.

Sweat poured down Mark’s face. He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent.
Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队)danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted.
Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path.
Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away ” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family.
Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family.
As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door.
“So… ” his father asked.
“The tryout It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling…except Mark. Still, he knew what had to be done.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.”

A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition.

Although everyone involved has different preferences about what and how to grow, we don’t separate our plots. ____16____ We ask people to tend to the alley in whatever way they can. This gives everyone ownership of the space, whether they’re permanent residents or short-time renters.
To get our community involved, one person knocked on doors to let everyone know about the plan, and to ask if they’d be willing to help. ____17____ Eventually, we all started meeting each other and seeing how much each of us was able to achieve. I created an online chat group so we could communicate easily and organize days when we could all garden together.
It hasn’t always been smooth sailing. There has been willful damage and theft, although it doesn’t happen often. ____18____ Consequently, there’s certainly less fly-tipping and antisocial behavior than before.
Warm summer afternoons when we all come out to tidy, garden, or socialize fill me with happiness. ____19____ This atmosphere really demonstrates how community gardens can change neighborhoods for the better.
____20____ Now that fly-tipping is a rare occurrence, we focus on growing food for insects and people. In the summer, we now have bees, butterflies, moths, and more. We’ve even seen a fox walking along the street. This fills me with pride because it shows our work really benefits our entire area and everyone-and everything-in it.
A. Still, we try to solve these issues together.
B. Every one of us was amazed at our own hard work.
C. The community has learned a lot from the cooperation.
D. We grow plants together to bring the community closer.
E. And these gatherings usually turn into an evening hang out.
F. The biggest achievement has been seeing an increase in biodiversity.
G. In the meantime, we individually worked on little bits of the alleyway.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. A 19. E 20. F

Thanks to your advice, such as sharing our feelings with friends and developing healthy habits, I now know how to deal with stress. I also enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere during the lesson, in which we felt encouraged and understood.
For future classes like this one, I hope we can have more discussions so that everyone can share their practical ways to manage negative emotions.
Thank you again for the wonderful time! I can’t wait for your next class.

47. 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。
Sweat poured down Mark’s face. He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent.
Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队)danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted.
Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path.
Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away ” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family.
Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family.
As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door.
“So… ” his father asked.
“The tryout It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling…except Mark. Still, he knew what had to be done.

Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” The smiles on his parents’ faces froze instantly. “What do you mean ” his father asked in surprise. Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball. The room fell silent. His parents exchanged confused looks, struggling to understand. Mark felt his heart pounding but continued, saying he had been training for months. Just when the tension seemed unbearable, his mother finally spoke gently, “If this is what you really love, you deserve a chance — and we’ll always stand by you.” His father hesitated, then nodded slowly.
A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. Standing on the field, Mark felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Remembering the countless hours of practice, he pushed aside his doubts and focused on every move. When the music started, he jumped, turned and lifted with confidence. His strength and determination impressed the judges and the crowd. When the results were announced, Mark heard his name among those selected. At that moment, he spotted his parents in the stands, clapping proudly. He realized that by following his heart, he had finally stepped out of his brother’s shadow and started his own journey.
