We’re happy to introduce News for Classroom Use: a weekly newsletter with a piece of news and activities based on it which you can use as a warm-up, a filler or a wrap-up task. The newsletter might include: discussion questions, tasks around headlines and images, comments to respond to vocabulary and links to related ESL Brains lesson plans.
How to use the newsletter
The stories covered in the newsletter range from breaking news to more evergreen content which you will be able to go back to according to your students’ needs. The newsletter itself has several parts.
INTRO: A short paragraph describing what the news is about. You might need to read it out to students or it may also serve as a reference point to you, depending on the activities that go with the particular piece of news.
ACTIVITY: A task or tasks for students to work on in the classroom. Each newsletter contains a set of questions related to the news. You might ask students to discuss all of them or just some of them. If you teach lower-level students, use the easier questions or just ask students to say what they think about the news. Other activities might include completing headlines, commenting on pictures, reporting what students have heard about the news, etc.

Long before I had studied a second language, I had an absolute romance with my first language — English. When I was a boy, I realized that by applying certain linguistic (语言的) rules, I could coin words that could be entirely understood. If something that qualifies has qualification, I thought something that terrifies ought to have terrification. This way of thinking opened up a whole world of creativity to me that had never existed before.
However, when I started studying other languages, I lost this fascination. The more I’ve interacted with other masters of many languages, the more this seems like an almost universally shared experience: as one falls in love with other languages and digs into other forms of communication, one starts to lose an appreciation of his or her native tongue. This is perfectly natural. As we begin to expand our views in new and exciting ways through foreign languages, our native language begins to seem uninteresting, and even annoying by comparison.
But then something happened that completely refueled the love I had for my mother tongue: I encountered that same creative passion I once felt in somebody else’s work. One of my favorite books as a child was Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. Reading this book over again as an adult, I was just as allured by it as when I was a kid.
Some words in this book either aren’t real words, or weren’t real words at the time that the book was written. But they feel like specific types of words that you associate with a certain sort of feeling. The linguistic differences that went into every non-content word were absolutely fascinating, and the more I read and recited poems in this book, the more I felt the familiar warm passion for English. I decided to take some focus away from foreign languages for a while just to focus on and properly appreciate my first language.
4. What could the author do at a young age?
A. Guess new words’ meanings. B. Make up non-existent words.
C. Make use of grammatical rules. D. Create new sentence structures.
5. Why did the author lose the love for English?
A. Its popularity was in decline. B. Its inflexibility was apparent.
C. It failed to offer fresh excitement. D. It gave him fewer growth chances.
6. What does the underlined word “allured” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Sensed. B. Drawn. C. Persuaded. D. Supported.
7. What finally made the author appreciate English?
A. Poems’ complex emotions. B. Special writing techniques.
C. Lewis Carroll’s creativity. D. Intense love for literature.
C
Whether you want to assess your hormone (荷尔蒙) levels or heart health, find out why you’re tired all the time or get a general wellness profile, increasing numbers of at-home self-testing tools are promising to help. Often, these are marketed as a flexible way of taking control of your personal health.
Self-diagnosis tests are flooding the market. “Many consumers are using them because they’re accessible, because it can take weeks to get a doctor’s appointment, and they might be denied the test they want,” says Patti Shih, a sociologist.
Although some self-tests might be useful, there are a range of problems associated with using them, such as lack of medical guidance. Doctors will look at a patient’s medical history and assess symptoms before deciding on the appropriate method of diagnosis. They will also follow up and interpret any results. But with self-testing, all of that may be missing.
Others might give accurate results but still won’t be particularly helpful. Even some of them aren’t backed by science. For example, some companies market saliva (唾液) tests as a way to detect hormonal issues. However, scientific evidence shows that saliva tests are not reliable, as they do not account for the complex interactions between hormones in the body.
Shih has been studying YouTube influencers who promote self-diagnosis. Her concerns include misleading information, the risk of over-testing, and that self-testing may lead to unnecessary use of non-evidence-based supplements and treatments that carry health risks. “Perhaps most concerning are the cancer self-tests being marketed and sold in the US. These claim to detect over 50 types of cancer before symptoms have occurred.” she added.
Largely thanks to advances in diagnostic technology and digital health, in the US alone, sales of direct-to-consumer tests increased from $15 million in 2010 to $1.15 billion in 2022. Self-testing isn’t likely to go away, so experts are calling for better regulation and for patients to have clearer information about when testing is recommended and when it is not.
8. Why do people choose self-testing tools?
A. They can assess hormone levels accurately.
B. They can replace professional medical advice.
C. They are effective in controlling disease process.
D. They are superior in availability and flexibility.
9. What do the third and fourth paragraphs mainly discuss?
A. The wide popularity of self-testing. B. Some failed cases about self-testing.
C. The associated problems of self-testing. D. Some scientific doubts about self-testing.
10. What is Shih’s biggest concern?
A. Misuse of untested supplements. B. Promotion of so-called cancer self-tests.
C. Misleading information from sales markets. D. Hidden risks of too much self-testing at home.
11. What suggestion do the experts give for self-testing?
A. Self-testing should be managed intensively.
B. Consumers should stop self-testing immediately.
C. Companies should tackle all problems in diagnostic technology.
D. The government should make self-testing affordable to consumers.
D
You might be leaving some happiness on the table by doing your everyday activities all by yourself. Happiness, it seems, is not just a state of mind — it’s a shared enterprise. A new study has found that almost any activity, from the ordinary to the profound, becomes more enjoyable when done with others. Whether pumping gas, or cooking dinner, the company of another person appears to make life’s routines a little brighter.
The study, published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, drew on data from more than 40,000 Americans who collectively reported over 100,000 daily activities. “Participants consistently rate every common daily activity as more enjoyable when they’re interacting with somebody else,” said Elizabeth Dunn, the study’s senior author. Even seasoned experts on social behavior were taken aback by the consistency of the findings. “I was surprised by the extent and extremity of the effects,” admitted Nicholas Epley, a behavioral scientist who was not involved in the research.
Unsurprisingly, the biggest boosts were linked to activities already social by nature — eating, drinking, walking, running, and playing games. Yet even solitary (独自的) pursuits such as reading, or crafting also saw a happiness bump when shared. While in-person interactions provided the strongest benefits, even phone calls produced measurable mood improvements. Dunn notes that if it can’t be in-person, having some element of voice seems to be important.
The study did not include personality data, leaving unanswered how individual characteristics might influence outcomes. Previous studies, however, suggest that social connection reliably enhances wellbeing across personality types. Researchers identify “undersociality” — the tendency to underestimate how warmly others will respond to social initiatives — as a primary barrier to seeking connection.
The practical implications are clear; we should intentionally create more opportunities for social engagement. Simple strategies such as working alongside friends at coffee shops or conversing by phone while completing chores can transform ordinary activities into sources of joy. Ultimately, the research convincingly demonstrates that happiness arises not merely from what we do, but fundamentally from who we do it with.
12. How was the research mainly conducted?
A. By analyzing massive activity reports. B. By conducting laboratory experiments.
C. By comparing different personality types. D. By interviewing experts in social behavior.
13. What did the study find about social interactions?
A. They require face-to-face communication. B. Their effects vary greatly among individuals.
C. They enhance enjoyment of various activities. D. They bring greater joy in independent activities.
14. Why does the author mention previous studies in paragraph 4?
A. To stress the limitation of the new study. B. To introduce a different research method.
C. To provide supporting evidence for a claim. D. To question the findings of the new study.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Alone or Together: A Social Dilemma. B. Social Activities: Relationship Builder.
C. Personality Differences: A Factor in Social Joy. D. Shared Moments: The Social Key to Happiness.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every excuse from students trying to get a better grade. But recently I heard a new complaint: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.” ___16___ In the past, students understood it and they knew “A” required great work. Yet today, Generation Z expect to be rewarded for the quantity of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In surveys, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades.
___17___ It’s the result of a misunderstanding about one popular educational theories. Psychologists have long found that rewarding effort helps form a strong work ethic and reinforces learning. ___18___ We’ve gone from praising effort to treating it as an end in itself. We’ve failed to remind them that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job. There’s a reason we award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest. What counts is not mere effort but the progress and result.
The ideal response to a disappointing grade is not to complain that your diligence wasn’t rewarded. ___19___ Trying harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it’s working smarter, and other times, it’s working on something else altogether. Devotion is just one of the many contributing factors to achievement. Ability, opportunity and luck count, too.
Now in my classes, students are assessed on the quality of their written essays, class participation, group presentations and final papers or exams. I make it clear that “A” is not granted for effort itself; it is earned through mastery of knowledge. The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. ___20___
A. Teachers are to blame.
B. It is to ask how to improve.
C. This isn’t Generation Z’s fault.
D. “B” may not fully reflect your dedication.
E. It’s the knowledge and skills you acquire.
F. High marks are for excellence, not perseverance.
G. But we’ve taken the practice of celebrating diligence too far.

The players on the Academy basketball team knew something was wrong. Their coach, Brendan King, who never ___21___ them on weekends, urged them back to the gym. They had won the championship the night before, yet now they felt somewhat ___22___.
“We actually lost to Apache 43 — 42,” King announced. “The recordkeeper ___23___ the score.” All fell silent. “But this doesn’t ___24___ how proud I am of you and how hard we worked to get here.” ___25___, it was a bitter pill for them to swallow. Within 20 minutes’ debating, the whole team ___26___ to turn the trophy (奖杯) over to the rightful champions, Apache.
The game had been physical and ___27___. Scoring was back and forth until the fourth quarter, when Apache pulled away by 14 points. The Academy players, ___28___ to give up and fought back hard, hitting shot after shot. Ultimately, they hit a 3-point buzzer-beater (压哨球) to top Apache by a point. The players ___29___, but strangely King had a sinking feeling.
That night, he replayed the game tape carefully, counting every ____30____. His gut (直觉) was right: An Academy shot was mistakenly counted due to the recordkeeper’s poor angle. The next morning, he ____31____ the basketball officials before addressing his ____32____.
With his team’s support, King drove to Apache to ____33____ the trophy. “I know we didn’t have to do this,” King says. “But for us ____34____ means far more than a trophy. Apache earned their champion ____35____, and we earned ours here.”

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。
The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma.” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market.
Now, back at the farm. I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent (有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts (零件) for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No Internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右：
（2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.

When Chinese Meets English
Last week, our school’s Teaching Innovation Week featured a unique poetry appreciation class co-taught by Chinese and English teachers.
The innovative lesson focused on comparing classical Chinese poems by Li Bai with renowned English poems, utilizing multimedia tools to highlight the rhythmic beauty. Students actively participated in discussions about cultural differences and similarities. This cross-cultural educational experience not only deepened our understanding of poetic artistry but also demonstrated the power of interdisciplinary learning.
Personally, the class broadened my perspective on how different cultures express universal human emotions and successfully bridged cultural divides.
【答案】
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the Internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes, it was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.
