Urgent: Special Summer Driving Notice
To some, sunglasses are a fashion accessory...
But When Driving, These Sunglasses May Save Your Life!
Many drivers find themselves temporarily blinded while driving directly into the glare of the sun. Deadly accidents are regularly caused. Yet, motorists struggle on despite being blinded by the sun’s glare.
Not all sunglasses are created equal. Protecting your eyes is serious business. With all the fancy fashion frames out there, it can be easy to overlook what really matters — the lenses (镜片). So we did our research and looked to the most advanced technology.
Sometimes it does take a NASA rocket scientist. Some ordinary sunglasses can darken useful vision-enhancing light. But now, independent research conducted by scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory brought forth ground-breaking technology to help protect eyesight from the harmful effects of solar radiation light. This superior lens technology was inspired by eagles’ eyes, known for their sharp eyesight. This discovery resulted in what is now known as Eagle Eyes .
The only Sunglass Technology Certified by the Space Foundation for UV and Blue-Light Eye Protection. The Trilenium lens technology offers triple-filter (三重过滤) polarization to block 99.9% of UVA and UVB — plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection.
The finest optics: And buy one, get one FREE! Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If you are not amazed by the Eagle Eyes technology, simply return one pair within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. The other pair is yours to keep.

They say that the truth comes out of the children’s mouth, and that truth is sometimes more upsetting than we realize. Jen Adams Beason, a 2nd-grade teacher from Louisiana, witnessed this when she asked her students to write about an invention that they didn’t like, or an invention that they wish would have never seen the light of day.
Jen has 21 students, and she was absolutely heartbroken when she noticed that four of her students shared the same invention: the smartphone. With dozens of notifications (通知) from apps, emails, and social media updates, it could be hard not to look at your phone for longer than five minutes.
Jen shared a boy’s essay on her Facebook page. “I hate my mom’s phone and I wish she never had one. That is an invention that I don’t like.” The essay is even accompanied by a sad and angry face saying “I hate it,” looking at a drawn phone with a cross through it.
“I had my 2nd graders write about an invention that they wish had never been created. Out of 21 students, 4 of them wrote about this topic. # getoffyourphone # listentoyourkids,” Jen posted on her Facebook wall.
Her message was seen by millions and even shared 300,000 times. It received dozens of eye-opening comments. “That is so sad. Great reminder for us all to put those phones down and engage with our kids more,” Tracy Jenkins posted.
Luckily, it seems that awareness about smartphone addiction is increasing. Both iPhones and smartphones running on a recent Android operating system will soon include features to monitor, control and restrict your personal smartphone use for your own health.
Still, it’s interesting to see that parents’ concerns about their children becoming addicted to smartphones and other smart devices, are also perfectly true the other way around.
4. What did Jen find through the writing task
A. Parents’ overuse of their phones.
B. Parents’ dislike for their children.
C. Children’s resistance to social media.
D. Children’s poor performance in writing.
5. The boy included a picture in his essay to show _________.
A. his great drawing skills
B. his desire for a smartphone
C. his strong negative emotions
D. his insight into online interaction
6. How did Tracy Jenkins feel after reading Jen’s post
A. Guilty. B. Helpless.
C. Embarrassed. D. Confused.
7. What is the author trying to do in the last paragraph
A. Draw a conclusion.
B. Provide evidence.
C. Put forward a proposal.
D. Call for reflection.
C
Even after eating a large meal, most people can still find room for sweets. Now, research in mice shows that the nerve cells behind feeling full also contribute to strong desire for sugar. In other words, there seems to be a neurological (神经学的) basis for our love of dessert.
Previous studies identified that naturally occurring opioids (阿片类物质) in the brain play a crucial role in sugar desire. The main producers of these opioids are nerve cells located in a brain region that adjusts appetite, metabolism and hormones. Known as pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC，前阿片黑素细胞皮质激素) nerve cells, they also control feelings of satiety after eating.
To explore whether the cells also drive thirst for sugar, Henning Fenselau at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research in Germany and his colleagues tracked the opioid signals the POMC cells send in the brain. The researchers monitored the activity of nerve cells in these regions as mice ate their usual food. When the animals seemed to be full, the team gave them a dessert of sugary chow. The results showed that, on average, the activity between the POMC nerve cells and the PVT (丘脑室旁核) roughly multiplied during dessert consumption, and even rose sharply before the mice started eating the sweets, proving this nerve pathway directly fuels sugar desire. When the team blocked signals from POMC nerve cells to the PVT, the mice consumed 40 per cent less dessert.
“The cell types, which are extremely well known for making people feel full, also release signals that cause the appetite for sugar, and they do so particularly in the state of being full,” says Fenselau. “This would explain why animals — humans — over-consume sugar when they’re actually full.”
8. What does the underlined word “satiety” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Desire. B. Fullness. C. Appetite. D. Delight.
9. Which of the following is the finding of the mice experiment
A. The mice had more appetite for sugar than usual food.
B. The mice had less dessert consumption in their daily diet.
C. The mice had more responses in POMC than in PVT areas.
D. The mice had less sugar desire as brain signals were interrupted.
10. What can be inferred from Fenselau’s words
A. The feeling of being full generates sugar desire.
B. Humans consume more sugar than animals.
C. Sugar desire has nothing to do with appetite.
D. Nerve cells make it easy for people to feel full.
11. What can we learn from the text
A. Potential risks of sugar over-consumption for mice.
B. Differences of animal-human neurological responses.
C. Explanation of brain mechanism of sugar desire.
D. Different views on sugar desire after meals in mice.
D
Time is something we feel every day — rushing to school, glancing at watches, counting down minutes. Yet, surprisingly, modern physics struggles to explain why time moves forward at all. Einstein’s theory of relativity describes time as part of a fixed 4D spacetime, where past, present, and future coexist like pages in a book. Quantum mechanics (量子力学) does not naturally treats time as special — many processes could run backward just as well. So where does time’s flow come from
A groundbreaking perspective was proposed in 1983 by scientists Page and Wootters. They proposed that time is an illusion (幻觉) created by quantum entanglement (纠缠). They envisioned the universe as a timeless quantum state. When one part acts as a “clock” and becomes entangled with the rest, time seems to emerge — just like page numbers help us read a story in order.
Experimental support is accumulating. In a 2024 study, scientists created a model using entangled quantum magnets and a spring. The entire system was static (静态的), yet the spring’s state changed over time relative to the clock, demonstrating how time might arise from entanglement.
But what could serve as the universe’s real clock Italian physicist Paola Verrucci points to black holes. They are isolated, highly energetic, and — thanks to Hawking radiation — can entangle with the outside world. “It’s a perfect clock,” she says. “You can’t touch it, but you can be linked to it.”
More strikingly, Verrucci argues time’s direction may come from quantum measurement. Each time we observe reality, possibilities collapse into facts — a one-way process. “You create time,” she says, “when you ask what time it is.” This view transforms our role from passive witnesses of time to active participants. Time may not be a pre-existing river carrying us, but a story we co-write through our interactions with a quantum universe.
12. What can we know from paragraph 1
A. The theory of relativity views time as independent of space.
B. Modern physics can explain why time moves forward easily.
C. Quantum mechanics specially focuses on the study of time.
D. Our understanding of time varies from physics perspectives.
13. Why did the scientists create the model
A. To explain the quantum entanglement.
B. To support a timeless quantum state.
C. To show how time comes from entanglement.
D. To confirm time exists in a static universe.
14. Which viewpoint might Verrucci agree with
A. Hawking radiation generated time. B. There is no ideal clock in universe.
C. Observing time helps to create time. D. Time existed as a river before humans.
15. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To present the history of quantum mechanics.
B. To explore the origin of time from quantum links.
C. To compare a couple of known spacetime theories.
D. To illustrate technology of quantum entanglement.

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。
As humanoid robots begin to enter warehouses and factories, a critical question arises: do we need special safety rules for them The answer is yes, and for several important reasons.
____16____ Unlike traditional industrial robots that can be stopped instantly by hitting an emergency button, humanoids are “dynamically stable.” This means they need power to stay upright. If you cut the power, they will likely fall over, potentially causing serious injury to nearby workers.
There is the challenge of defining what exactly needs to be regulated. How should we classify a humanoid robot Does it need legs Arms A head ____17____ This approach would allow safety standards to keep pace with technological innovation without being limited by appearance.
Communication between robots and humans presents another concern. If robots are to share space with people, they must be able to signal their intentions clearly. For instance, a robot walking around a corner needs to indicate its direction so that people are not surprised. ____18____
There is a psychological factor to consider. People naturally expect more from robots that look like human. ____19____ Experts recommend that safety standards include emotional safety assessments to prevent confusion or stress.
These standards help companies build trust in their products and sell them more easily in different countries, while also giving regulators a clear guide for creating their own rules. ____20____ As Vicentini notes, a practical standard must find a balance between competing interests, and “everybody equally unhappy is good enough,” since aiming for perfect agreement is simply not realistic.
A. Humanoid robots pose unique physical risks.
B. Without clear dialogues, accidents will happen.
C. Interactions between humanoid robots can prevent accidents.
D. Many believe that physical features are essential for safety standards.
E. People may let their guard down, thinking the robots understand more than they do.
F. However, agreeing on global regulations is hard due to different concerns in the field.
G. Experts suggest dropping the term “humanoid” and focusing on a robot’s abilities instead.

Soon, he returned with a steaming pot of coffee and a tray of various cups.
The cups were of all ____23____ — porcelain, glass, clay; some plain and dull, some ____24____ and exquisitely carved; a few inlaid with sparkling crystals. “Help yourselves to the coffee,” the professor said, eyes twinkling with purpose.
The students ____25____ and picked up the tray, eager to seize the finest cups, each striving for one that ____26____ the rest. Plain, simple ones were left ____27____ on the tray edge, unworthy of notice. With cups filling with coffee in hand, the professor leaned back and spoke.
“I’ve observed something telling,” he said, glancing at their chosen cups. “You all picked out the eye-catching cups, ____28____ the ordinary ones. But the cup itself adds no ____29____ to the coffee. You were so fixed on the container that you barely noticed the coffee’s rich fragrance.”
The students fell silent, ____30____ by his words. The professor continued, “Life is coffee; jobs, wealth and status are ____31____. They are tools to ____32____ life, but cannot alter its ____33____. Fixing gaze on ‘cups’ makes you ____34____ missing life’s genuine joy — the quiet fulfillment that ____35____ our souls.”
He paused, and then added softly, “The happiest don’t have the best of everything. They simply make the best of what they have.” The students nodded, grasping the lesson hidden in a cup of coffee.

Eating more fibre, ____36____ fibre maxxing, may be the hottest new dietary trend of 2026. Is it worth chasing
Fibre can stop digestive enzymes (酶) from reaching rapidly broken down foods, such as sugar and fat, preventing too much from ____37____ (absorb) by the body. What’s more, some water-soluble (水溶) fibre helps trap harmful compounds, ensuring more end up in the toilet than in your blood. ____38____ (study) show that the more fibre you eat, up to 25-30g a day, the lower the risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease. ____39____ benefits continue to increase at higher intakes is less clear.
One risk, though, is getting those 30g from an imbalanced diet. Half a loaf of wholemeal bread can get you close to the ____40____ (recommend) daily amount of fibre, but it lacks many of the vitamins and minerals that ____41____ (be) present in the greens, and also contains less of the soluble kinds of fibre.
A more ____42____ (sense) approach is to eat a mix of plant-based foods. A research review found that the health benefits from eating more fruit and vegetables increase up to 800g a day, at ____43____ point they level off. Sueh variety helps meet fibre goals without sacrificing essential nutrients.
If you’ve consumed below 10g per day most of your life, start slowly. Increase intake ____44____ 3-5g every few days, starting with fibre that has already been partially broken down, which the body finds ____45____ (easy) to digest.

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。
My son Connor is autistic (患自闭症的), and he loves to watch flowing water. In the warmer months, he likes to have the pipe going in the back yard for hours at a time. Not to mention creating all that mud in our small yard.
One night I brainstormed a setup: two small buckets (水桶) connected by a gutter (水槽), with a round-trip pump that takes the water from the lower bucket and feeds it back into the top one, creating a continuous stream without wasting water.
I decided to take a trip to a home improvement store to look at materials in the gutter section and get some ideas as to how to make it work. Plus, I wanted to price pumps, as I knew that would be the biggest part of the investment.
While I was standing in front of the gutters, an employee named Glen approached and offered help. I explained the project and mentioned Connor and his fascination with flowing water, as well as the effect on our water bill. Soon, he brought over two more employees, Jesse and Jeff.
To my amazement, together they stayed with me and helped me figure out the entire setup. Jeff went and got more pieces, and we laid out a relay of buckets, pipes, connectors, and a round-trip pump.
I started to worry whether I’d remember all the connections to tell my husband Roger about later. So I said that maybe I’d buy the connections but leave the pump, which wasn’t quite in the budget, for later.
We talked a moment of prices for a couple of the items, and then suddenly they said they’d see about getting me out of there with everything.
I looked at them. “What do you mean ” I asked.
“We’ll give it to you. For free.”

【答案】
Rethinking Fast Food from Street Stalls
Recently, a survey shows over 60% of us buy fast food from street stalls at least three times a week. The main reasons are its low price and convenient service, which save us much time.
However, such food is often unhealthy and does harm to our bodies. To solve the problem, we should improve our awareness of health. Besides, the school can provide more tasty and healthy food in the dining hall. Only in this way can we keep away from street food and stay healthy.
答案】
I stared at them, unable to believe what I had just heard. My mind raced, trying to make sense of their generosity. “Why ” I asked, disbelieving. “It’s what we do,” Glen added, “Because you have an autistic son, and we want to help you out.” Glen smiled warmly, while Jesse and Jeff nodded. These were complete strangers, yet they had gone out of their way to help me and my son, without expecting anything in return. I was dumbfounded. My chest tightened with a mix of disbelief and gratitude. With the manager’s permission, they packed all the pieces into my car and told me to come back if I needed help. I kept repeating, “Thank you,” hoping they knew how much this meant.
When I drove home with the supplies, I felt something different. The weight of constant worry about bills and mess seemed lighter. My faith in the goodness of people was restored and I felt eager to share that kindness with others. I couldn’t express to them how amazing the whole experience was. It was not just the setup that mattered, but the reminder that even in ordinary moments, small miracles could happen — and they could come from the most unexpected places. I couldn’t wait to build the setup with Roger and see Connor’s face light up, knowing this little stream of water was also a stream of unexpected human kindness.
