When you’re a teacher, a big part of your job is battling student misconceptions. Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. I’ve discovered that if I show students how what they learn is relevant to my hobbies, they’re much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies.
No matter what subject I’m teaching, I find ways to bring my hobbies into the classroom. For example, I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires (轮胎) into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications.
When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me more and became more engaged in my courses. Even those who didn’t share that interest with me seemed more engaged once I showed a different side of myself.
What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy. Even when I’m planning classes, I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. Best of all, my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own.
24. What poses a challenge to teachers according to the author
A. Students’ misunderstandings about teachers.
B. Students’ false assumptions about learning.
C. The irrelevance of textbooks to students’ life.
D. The gap between teachers’ and students’ hobbies.
25. Why does the author bring tires into the classroom
A. To teach an engineering skill.
B. To explain the structure of a car.
C. To share a real-life experience.
D. To illustrate a scientific concept.
26. What was the unexpected outcome of the author’s teaching method
A. A higher class attendance rate.
B. Better examination results.
C. A closer teacher-student bond.
D. More spare time for students.
27. Which of the following best describes the author as a teacher
A. Innovative. B. Humorous.
C. Decisive. D. Sympathetic.
C
Imagine cozying up in your bed after a long day. You scroll through your favorite social media apps for what feels like ten minutes, but then you realize hours have passed. You promise yourself just five more minutes — then it’s 3:00 am. You wake up tired the next morning and go to work dizzy but do the same thing again that night. You know you need the rest, but you still stay up and sacrifice sleep to scroll aimlessly on your smartphone.
If you can relate to this situation, you’re not alone. This phenomenon, called “revenge bedtime procrastination (报复性睡前拖延症)”, is described as the tendency “to sacrifice sleep for leisure time that is driven by a daily schedule lacking in free time” by the Sleep Foundation.
People who spend most of their waking hours working experience a severe lack of “me time” in which they can be free of responsibilities. Nowadays, some people feel guilty even for resting, so there is a strong desire for uninterrupted personal time.
Some people find that sense of control by doing things often thought of as lazy or a waste of time — for instance, scrolling through social media or watching TV shows. By indulging (沉迷于) in these activities in the hours of the night when the world is asleep, people get a sense of “revenge” and control over how they spend their time.
Revenge bedtime procrastination is experienced differently by various groups, despite being motivated by the same reasons. Parents of young children spend most of their day trying to balance work and childcare, so there is a powerful desire to spend some time alone, free of all obligations. For many parents, this is only possible at night when work hours are over and the kids are asleep.
Likewise, college students with a demanding class schedule, employees in high-stress jobs, and workers who put in a lot of overtime may be particularly influenced by bedtime procrastination.
Which of the following best describes the people with “revenge bedtime procrastination”
A. They often wake up refreshed for work.
B. They usually search to achieve some aims.
C. They often delay their sleep time again and again.
D. They control their time spent on the social media apps.
29. Why do people scroll on the phone late into night
A. To pass the long boring time. B. To enjoy the quiet time alone.
C. To gain control of their free time. D. To escape their social responsibilities.
30. Who are not likely to get revenge bedtime procrastination
A. Workers with a lot of leisure time.
B. Employees busy with stressful jobs.
C. Parents stuck in work and childcare.
D. College students with heavy burdens of study.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why We Lack Sleep B. Why We Stay Up Too Late
C. Why We Are Addicted to Phones D. Why We Choose Scrolling over Sleeping
D
A recent global study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60 percent of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet.
Psychologists have categorized these feelings of grief, distress and worry about the current climate emergency — a common occurrence among youth today — under the label of “eco-anxiety”. According to the Climate Psychology Alliance, eco-anxiety is defined as the “heightened emotional discomfort in response to dangerous changes in the climate system”.
It is predicted that by 2027, eco-anxiety will become one of the leading causes of mental health problems. The reasons are obvious. Scientists estimate that the world is likely to exceed safe levels of temperature rise for the first time by 2030. In recent years, we’ve seen wildfires tear through Canada and Greece, and summer floods sweep regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people. Studies have shown that those impacted by air pollution and rising temperatures are more likely to experience psychological suffering.
Fortunately, greater levels of eco-anxiety will offer a way to tackle the climate crisis head on. Caroline Hickman, a researcher working on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, cautions that the feelings of worry associated with eco-anxiety should not be pathologized (病理化). After all, the cause of this mental concern is external. According to Hickman, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and rational (理性的) reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion Use eco-anxiety as a tool for good — as an emotion that can stimulate people to act in protection of our planet.
This is why, in 2027, we will also see more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and seek jobs that prioritize environmental sustainability. Campaigners will put increased pressure on fossil fuel industries and the governments that sponsor them to rapidly phase out the usage of coal, oil, and gas. It’s now clear that not only are they the main contributor to the climate crisis, they are also responsible for the mental health crisis that is starting to affect most of us. Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with therapy — we will tackle it by taking action.
32. What is a major factor contributing to the rise of eco-anxiety
A. The decline in air pollution. B. The decrease in global temperatures.
C. The advances in psychological therapy. D. The increase in climate-related natural disasters.
33. What is Hickman’s suggestion for eco-anxiety
A. Dismiss it as an irrational fear.
B. Use it as a motivator to protect the planet.
C. See it as natural reactions to environmental changes.
D. Treat it as mental illness that requires professional therapy.
34. What action is expected to be taken to address eco-anxiety
A. Treating it primarily with psychological therapy.
B. Initiating global climate campaigns to raise awareness.
C. Adopting strategies that focus on ecological sustainability.
D. Rapidly increasing the development of renewable energy sources.
35. What does the underlined phrase “phase out” mean in the last paragraph
A. Decrease the reliance. B. Increase the application.
C. Replace something with alternatives. D. Maintain the current usage.

Over-Promotion of Scenic Spot Foods: How to Stay Reasonable
Scenic spot foods carry local culture, offer unique tasting experiences, and help tourists remember their trips, but the over-promotion and over-beautification of these foods — exaggerating their flavors, hiding high prices, or making up “must-try” stories — have brought negative impacts on travelers. ___36___
Definitely not. Losing the fun of exploring local foods would make trips less colorful. Here are some tips on making sensible choices to avoid the downsides of over-promotion and enjoy real local flavors.
Check real reviews first.
Over-promotion often relies on polished online posts and paid ads that hide problems. With so many platforms full of exaggerated recommendations, it’s easy to be misled. Look for genuine feedback from ordinary travelers, like comments on non-commercial blogs or recent visitor shares. ___37___
Focus on real needs.
The best way to resist over-promotion is to stick to what you truly want. Though “popular foods” seem attractive, they may not match your taste or budget. That means you can ignore the noisy hype (促销广告) and choose based on your preferences. ___38___ Why not try a small local eatery loved by locals instead of a crowded “internet-famous” shop, or pick snacks that fit your dietary habits
___39___
Avoid regret from impulsive (易冲动的) buys by comparing basic information. You’ll know the real price range, avoid overspending on overpriced foods, and get better value for your money — since clear information helps you make wise decisions.
Trying local foods at scenic spots is about enjoying genuine flavors, not chasing exaggerated fame. Do your part to stay away from the trap of over-promotion. ___40___ You may be surprised how much more enjoyable your food exploration becomes with a rational mind.
Choose based on facts, not hype.
So, should we avoid local foods
Can over-promotion be stopped
Compare information before buying.
You can still find real local flavors that fit your taste.
Consider asking local residents for tips on genuine local food.
You’ll save money and avoid disappointment from false promotions.

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。
I used to think history was the most boring subject in high school. To me, it was nothing more than long lists of dates, names, and exam points that felt far removed from real life. While teachers spoke passionately about dynasties and ancient systems, I focused on memorizing just enough to pass tests. Once the exam was over, everything faded from my mind. I believed history belonged to textbooks, not to students like me who worried about rankings and future applications.
That attitude began to shift in my second year of senior high school, when China’s visa-free policy led to a noticeable increase in foreign tourists. Our school received a notice calling for student volunteers to guide international visitors at major landmarks, including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. I applied mainly because of my English skills and the chance to earn a volunteer certificate, not because I cared about history.
Before my first assignment, we were given training materials filled with historical background. As I leafed through the pages, my old impatience returned. There were too many details, too many unfamiliar terms. Still, I forced myself to prepare, telling myself it was just another task to complete. On the morning of my first tour, I stood at the foot of the Great Wall with a group of visitors gathering around me. Mist hung over the mountains, and the stone steps stretched upward beyond sight. As I began my introduction, my voice sounded tense and my explanations felt forced. But as we climbed higher, questions followed — about why the wall followed the ridges, who built it, and what it meant to the people who once guarded it. Looking out over the endless mountains, I hesitated. For the first time, the answers were no longer lines in the textbook. The stones beneath my feet felt solid and real. I realized that what I was sharing was not just information, but a story.
注意: 1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
I cleared my throat and began to tell the story behind the Great Wall. __________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
That evening, as I opened my history textbook at home, I realized it no longer felt the same.________

Dear Jim,
I am writing to share my thoughts regarding the upcoming English Drama Festival. After careful consideration， I firmly support the idea of making a video with AI.
This approach allows students to blend technology with creativity. AI tools can help design imaginative scenes and special effects, making classic stories visually engaging and accessible. Additionally, it encourages collaboration in scriptwriting, digital editing, and problem-solving, which are highly relevant skills today. Furthermore, an AI-assisted video is more flexible to produce and can be easily shared and reviewed. It represents a forward-looking way to learn and present English in a digital age.
I believe this innovative format will make the festival both memorable and educational.
Yours,
Li Hua

I cleared my throat and began to tell the story behind the Great Wall. Instead of listing dates, I described how the wall was built along the ridges to follow the land, which saved effort and strengthened defense. Pointing to the stones under our feet, I explained that their weight marked the efforts of ordinary people who guarded this border centuries ago. As I spoke, my voice steadied, and the visitors slowed their steps, listening attentively. It was then that I felt a quiet shift inside me: I was no longer repeating facts, but sharing meaning.
That evening, as I opened my history textbook at home, I realized it no longer felt the same. I didn’t rush to underline and memorize exam points; instead, I searched for the stories behind each event and connected them with the places I had visited. Only when history stepped out of the textbook and into real life did it become meaningful to me. Had I never guided those visitors, I might still have treated history as questions on the exam paper. It was history that helped me understand who we are and why it matters to tell our story well.
