Parenting a child is stressful
养育孩子是有压力的
　　If anyone can handle the stress of parenting in the teen years, you’d think it would be a high school teacher.That’s how Amy Myers felt.She teaches high school English in a suburb of Boise, Idaho, where she says she has “parented” about 3,000 teenagers “who I have talked to, given advice to, guided, directed, even lectured about teenage issues,” she says.
　　So Myers, 41, felt pretty prepared for her own children’s teenage years.That is until her oldest son, Kamron, turned 15.Suddenly, their close relationship turned sour.“Everything I demanded, he fought back.Advice He didn’t need it.Conversation He didn’t want it.It was hands down the toughest journey of my life so far,” she says.
　　A study found that about one-third (34 percent) of those who live with one or more teenagers said they’d had a great deal of stress in the past month.
　　When it comes to stress, parenting a teen is “inherently(内在地) stressful even in the best circumstance,” according to David Palmiter, a clinical psychologist.
　　He says it essentially boils down to a teenager’s quest for independence.“And that is understandably stressful for parents who used to be driving the bus,” he says.“Now,” he says, “there’s someone in the back seat saying (or yelling), ‘No, don’t put the blinker(方向灯) on here. Take that exit.’ What are you thinking ”
　　This constant questioning and challenging can be stressful for parents, of course, but Palmiter says it’s actually a healthy part of growing up, and it often means parents are not doing everything right.
　　As for dealing with their own stress, Palmiter suggests parents seek support from other parents, not just about their concerns but also about decisions.He also promotes special “one on one” time with your teenager.This means “being there” completely, cellphone unplugged, talking with your teen or observing them do an activity they enjoy like drawing, shooting basketball or playing an instrument.Just one hour a week of this special time can repair major differences, Palmiter says, and bring much-needed calm to households with teens.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分)
A
(2026·湖北模拟)
I remember opening my laptop one day in fifth grade after a silly conversation with my cousin about scary story ideas.Hours later, I completed my first short story.Since then, I’ve written many stories, short and long.But also, since then, I’ve read more and noticed just how well people my age could write.Since then, I also felt less and less willing to share my work:what if my writing isn’t as good as everybody else’s What started off as something creative that I could share with friends turned into a competition shaped by feelings of competence.Oftentimes, hobbies begin as something just for fun.But eventually, what was once fun now contributes to feelings of stress and inadequacy.I have plenty of memories of thinking I was going to pick up something new and stick with it, whether it be playing the piano, or drawing.But there is always a part of me that expects myself to just magically be good at all of those things.And when I’m not, the enjoyment tapers off as, slowly, I think mediocrity(平庸) isn’t acceptable anymore.
Writing is the only hobby that I have repeatedly come back to despite dropping it constantly.I can see the growth in my writing all these years, but the expectations to be better and better are never satisfied.This is why I drop writing for months at a time.This feeling of a hobby becoming, for lack of a better word, a chore, lowers the satisfaction of said hobby.
But hobbies are there to give you a breath of fresh air from having to excel at everything, from academics to your occupation.We must accept that it is okay to just suck at(不擅长) an activity but still do it because it brings you joy.There is a balance between joy and expectations, either set by others or by ourselves.

(2026·扬州模拟)
Anyone who has taken a standardized test knows that writing an essay in 20 minutes or less takes serious brain power.Having access to artificial intelligence(AI) would certainly lighten the mental load.But as a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost.
Over the course of a series of essay-writing sessions, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot had their brain activity measured.Across the board, the AI users exhibited markedly lower brain activity in areas associated with creative functions and attention.
Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question.Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between increased AI use and weakened brains.After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task.
Moreover, generative AI tools clearly seek to lighten people’s mental loads, as many other technologies do.Concerns about this kind of offloading aren’t new.As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion(神药) for remembering, but for reminding”.Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill.Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading.And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result.
There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines handle users’ mental tasks changes the brain’s capacity for thinking.But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process.And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick.As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.”
The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit.But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive(认知) costs.If stronger evidence emerges that AI makes people less intelligent, will they care

During puberty(青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image—how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose.　9　 For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal.
　10　 One major influence is peer(同龄人) pressure.Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better.Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself.Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type.For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal.
Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries.　11　 When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality.
To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing.Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing.　12　
Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves.By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism.　13　 Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body.
A.Many factors shape your body image.
B.It also lowers your overall life satisfaction.
C.However, your true beauty lies within your heart.
D.External judgement can be a double-edged sword.
E.Without these tricks, they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else.
F.Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality.
G.This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths.

13.【解析】选G。由上文“Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves.By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism.”及下文“Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body.”可知,本空应阐述这种注意力的转移所带来的积极结果。G选项“这种转变能让你认识到并赞美自己的才能和优势”能承上启下,符合语境。故选G。

(2026·湖北模拟)
　　I remember opening my laptop one day in fifth grade after a silly conversation with my cousin about scary story ideas.Hours later, I completed my first short story.Since then, I’ve written many stories, short and long.But also, since then, I’ve read more and noticed just how well people my age could write.Since then, I also felt less and less willing to share my work:what if my writing isn’t as good as everybody else’s What started off as something creative
that I could share with friends turned into a competition shaped by feelings of competence.Oftentimes, hobbies begin as something just for fun.But eventually, what was once fun now contributes to feelings of stress and inadequacy.I have plenty of memories of thinking I was going to pick up something new and stick with it, whether it be playing the piano, or drawing.But there is always a part of me that expects myself to just magically be good at all of those things.And when I’m not, the enjoyment tapers off as, slowly, I think mediocrity(平庸) isn’t acceptable anymore.
　Writing is the only hobby that I have repeatedly come back to despite dropping it constantly.I can see the growth in my writing all these years, but the expectations to be better and better are never satisfied.This is why I drop writing for months at a time.This feeling of a hobby becoming, for lack of a better word, a chore, lowers the satisfaction of said hobby.
　But hobbies are there to give you a breath of fresh air from having to excel at everything, from academics to your occupation.We must accept that it is okay to just suck at(不擅长) an activity but still do it because it brings you joy.There is a balance between joy and expectations, either set by others or by ourselves.

Step 1　题源研读·入境体验
Parenting a child is stressful
养育孩子是有压力的
　　If anyone can handle the stress of parenting in the teen years, you’d think it would be a high school teacher.That’s how Amy Myers felt.She teaches high school English in a suburb of Boise, Idaho, where she says she has “parented” about 3,000 teenagers “who I have talked to, given advice to, guided, directed, even lectured about teenage issues,” she says. So Myers, 41, felt pretty prepared for her own children’s teenage years.That is until her oldest son, Kamron, turned 15.Suddenly, their close relationship turned sour.“Everything I demanded, he fought back.Advice He didn’t need it.Conversation He didn’t want it.It was hands down the toughest journey of my life so far,” she says. A study found that about one-third (34 percent) of those who live with one or more teenagers said they’d had a great deal of stress in the past month. When it comes to stress, parenting a teen is “inherently(内在地) stressful even in the best circumstance,” according to David Palmiter, a clinical psychologist. 　　He says it essentially boils down to a teenager’s quest for independence.“And that is understandably stressful for parents who used to be driving the bus,” he says.“Now,” he says, “there’s someone in the back seat saying (or yelling), ‘No, don’t put the blinker(方向灯) on here. Take that exit.’ What are you thinking ” This constant questioning and challenging can be stressful for parents, of course, but Palmiter says it’s actually a healthy part of growing up, and it often means parents are not doing everything right. As for dealing with their own stress, Palmiter suggests parents seek support from other parents, not just about their concerns but also about decisions.He also promotes special “one on one” time with your teenager.This means “being there” completely, cellphone unplugged, talking with your teen or observing them do an activity they enjoy like drawing, shooting basketball or playing an instrument.Just one hour a week of this special time can repair major differences, Palmiter says, and bring much-needed calm to households with teens. —https://www.npr.org/ (同源高考:2024年新课标Ⅱ卷B篇阅读选自该网站)
