In the fast-paced modern world, many people struggle to find the meaning of life and living, often feeling lost in the endless daily busyness. Knowable Magazine recently shared detailed reviews of four books that offer thoughtful and practical insights into this timeless question, guiding readers to slow down, reflect on their own lives and re-examine their core values.
The Meaning of Life
The first book, written by the famous philosopher Alan Watts, argues that life’s meaning does not come from external factors like wealth, fame or social status, but from the choices we make and the deep emotional connections we build with others.
Living a Worthy Life
The second one, which is written by the life coach Sarah Lewis, focuses on how small daily actions—such as showing kindness to strangers, being grateful to loved ones and persisting in small goals—can gradually make life meaningful and fulfilling.
Life’s Great Questions
The third book, written by a renowned scientist and philosopher, explores the big puzzles of human existence, such as “Why are we here ” and “How should we live a meaningful life ” It combines the latest scientific research with profound philosophical thoughts to give readers practical answers.
Finding Joy in the Ordinary
The last one, which is written by the writer and psychologist Michael Brown, reminds us that happiness and life’s true meaning do not lie in distant dreams or great achievements, but in the simple and warm everyday moments.
These four books, in different styles and from different perspectives, help readers look beyond the chaos of daily life and find their own unique path to a meaningful life. They prove that the search for life’s meaning is not a difficult or distant journey, but a continuous process of self-discovery, and everyone can find their own answers through constant reflection and positive action.
21. What is the main topic of the four books reviewed in the passage
A. How to become wealthy and famous.
B. The meaning of life and living.
C. How to achieve great achievements.
D. The history of philosophical thoughts.
22. Which book emphasizes the importance of small daily actions
A. The Meaning of Life.
B. Life’s Great Questions.
C. Living a Worthy Life.
D. Finding Joy in the Ordinary.
23. Which of the following statements about the four books is true
A. They are all written by the same author.
B. They focus on different aspects of life’s meaning.
C. They only include philosophical thoughts.
D. They are mainly about distant dreams.
B
Mary Griffis had been struggling with grief after losing her brother. One busy afternoon, her car stalled (抛锚) unexpectedly on a crowded highway. There was no breakdown lane, and she could feel her hands shaking with anxiety.
Traffic quickly built up behind her. Drivers honked loudly and shouted in frustration. In that moment, Griffis felt overwhelmed and alone. She tried to restart the car several times, but nothing worked.
Then, a woman in a silver car slowed down and pulled over safely. She rolled down her window and asked simply, “Do you need help ” Her voice was calm and warm, cutting through the noise of angry drivers.
This stranger, who introduced herself as Robin, did something unexpected. She stepped out of her car and began directing traffic around Griffis’s stalled vehicle. Her actions were confident and steady, easing the tension on the road.
Robin stayed for nearly 20 minutes. She helped Griffis call for roadside assistance and waited with her until a tow truck arrived. During that time, she spoke softly, sharing gentle words that helped Griffis relax. “Kindness matters most when things fall apart,” she said quietly.
Griffis never got the chance to repay Robin. Once the tow truck took her car, Robin waved and drove away. But that small act of kindness left a deep mark on Griffis’s heart.
In the weeks that followed, Griffis thought often of Robin. In a time when she felt lost and sad, the stranger’s calm generosity reminded her that the world is still full of good people. It taught her to be more patient and willing to help others in their moments of need.
Now, whenever Griffis sees someone struggling, she tries to be the person who stops and offers help. She knows firsthand that a single kind act can turn a terrible day into a meaningful one, and that compassion has the power to heal even the deepest pain.
24. Why did Mary Griffis feel anxious on the highway
A. She lost her way on the road.
B. Her car broke down with no emergency lane.
C. She got into a quarrel with other drivers.
D. She failed to contact her family for help.
25. What did Robin do to help Griffis
A. She repaired the broken car on the spot.
B. She comforted angry drivers on the highway.
C. She guided traffic and waited for rescue together.
D. She drove Griffis to her destination at once.
26. What does the underlined phrase “left a deep mark on” most probably mean
A. deeply influenced
B. completely surprised
C. greatly confused
D. totally disappointed
27. What is the main idea of the text
A. Traffic order is important on busy highways.
B. People should learn to deal with grief wisely.
C. A stranger’s kindness changes a person’s life attitude.
D. Communication helps solve road problems effectively.
C
Developing new medicines is a slow and costly process. It usually takes over ten years and billions of dollars to create a single new drug for serious diseases such as cancer. Many medical research projects end in failure, which wastes time and money. For example, more than 90% of drug candidates fail during clinical trials, greatly increasing the cost of successful drugs.
Now artificial intelligence is changing the game. AI can quickly analyze huge amounts of biological data, search for useful chemical molecules and predict which compounds may work safely in the human body. Instead of testing thousands of chemicals one by one in the lab, researchers use AI to narrow down the most promising candidates at the beginning. Machine learning models can also learn from past failures to avoid repeating mistakes, making the screening process even smarter.
This technology greatly cuts down research time and costs. In the fight against cancer, AI has helped scientists discover several potential new drugs in just months, rather than years. For instance, a recent AI-assisted study identified a new drug candidate for a rare type of lung cancer in only six months, a process that would normally take three years. It also reduces the risk of dangerous side effects in early trials by filtering out unsafe compounds before lab testing.
Experts believe AI will not replace human researchers, but act as a powerful partner. With AI assistance, the world is hopeful of beating more deadly diseases in the future and bringing affordable new medicines to patients sooner. Scientists can focus more on creative research while AI handles repetitive data analysis, leading to faster and safer drug development.
28. What is the biggest problem of traditional drug development
A. It lacks enough research teams.
B. It is time-consuming and expensive.
C. It fails to attract public attention.
D. It has no support from the government.
29. How does AI help with drug discovery
A. By doing experiments for researchers.
B. By replacing scientists in the lab.
C. By analyzing data and selecting promising compounds.
D. By raising money for medical projects.
30. What does the underlined phrase "narrow down" in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Increase rapidly.
B. Select carefully.
C. Make more limited.
D. Store completely.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. AI will take the place of human researchers soon.
B. AI will contribute to fighting deadly diseases.
C. New cancer drugs will be free for patients.
D. All diseases will be defeated in the near future.
D
For decades, fighting viral diseases has been a huge challenge for medical workers. Unlike bacteria, viruses live and copy themselves inside human cells, making them hard to target. Many common viral illnesses still lack specific treatment, and new viruses keep appearing around the world, such as different strains of flu and coronaviruses(冠状病毒). This means that traditional drugs designed for one virus often fail against another.
Scientists are now focusing on a new treatment direction: broad-spectrum antiviral drugs. Instead of fighting one single virus, these medicines can work against many kinds of viruses. They aim to stop viruses from using human cells to grow and spread, which means they can deal with both known and newly-born viruses. For example, a single broad-spectrum drug might be effective against influenza, Ebola, and even future unknown viruses.
Developing such drugs is not easy. Researchers must find safe ways to influence human cell activities without damaging normal body functions. They also need to ensure that the drug does not weaken the immune system over time. Thanks to advanced medical technology and global teamwork, several key breakthroughs have been made in recent years. International projects have shared data and resources, speeding up the discovery of promising compounds.
Though perfect antiviral drugs are still in development, they bring new hope. In the future, these medicines will help people better prepare for public health emergencies and reduce the harm caused by widespread viral diseases. Scientists believe that with continuous investment and cooperation, broad-spectrum antivirals could become a standard tool against pandemics, saving millions of lives.
32. Why are viruses difficult to treat
A. They change very quickly.
B. They hide inside human cells.
C. They are stronger than bacteria.
D. They can stay inactive for long.
33. What is the advantage of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs
A. They cost much less money.
B. They cure diseases in a short time.
C. They work against various viruses.
D. They have no side effects on users.
34. What makes the new drug research progress possible
A. Advanced technology and global cooperation.
B. Early treatment of common illnesses.
C. The improvement of hospital equipment.
D. The study of human cell differences.
35. What is the author's attitude towards broad-spectrum antiviral drugs
A. Doubtful
B. Uncaring
C. Worried
D. Hopeful

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 school football match was fierce, with cheers echoing around the playground. Chen Yu sat on the bench, watching his teammates run on the green field, his hands tightly clutching the jersey in his lap. He had been a substitute for the football team for half a year, never getting a chance to play. Before the match, he secretly promised his father, who loved football, that he would try his best to seize any opportunity to show his courage and integrity on the field.
Suddenly, a sharp cry broke out. His teammate Li Ming fell to the ground while tackling, holding his ankle in pain. The coach hurried over and checked Li Ming’s injury, then turned to Chen Yu and said firmly, “Chen Yu, get ready! You’re going on.” Chen Yu’s heart skipped a beat—excitement mixed with fear surged through him. He was eager to play, but he was also worried that he would make mistakes and let the team down. He hesitated, his legs feeling heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Putting on his jersey, Chen Yu walked onto the field trembling. The game restarted, and he stood there awkwardly, not daring to move. Just as he was about to give up, his teammate Zhang Tao passed the ball to him, shouting loudly, “Chen Yu, you can do it! We trust you!” Then another teammate waved at him, signaling him to pass the ball if he was in trouble. Their encouragement warmed his heart, but he still struggled—he was afraid of failing them.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu tried to calm down. He stared at the ball rolling towards him, knowing he had to make a choice. At that moment, he remembered his promise to his father, and he reached out his foot to catch the ball firmly.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

After the match ended, Chen Yu walked off the field with a mixed feeling of relief and pride.

After the match ended, Chen Yu walked off the field with a mixed feeling of relief and pride. He didn’t score a goal, but he passed the ball honestly and never tried to cheat by pretending to be injured to avoid mistakes. His teammates patted his shoulder and praised him for his bravery. Chen Yu smiled, feeling the warmth of the team. The fear and hesitation he felt before were gone, replaced by a strong sense of confidence.
Back in the locker room, Chen Yu sat quietly, recalling every moment on the football field. He took out his phone and called his father, telling him everything truthfully—his nervousness, his struggle, and his efforts. His father laughed and said he was proud of him for being honest and brave. Chen Yu realized that keeping his promise and being honest to himself and his team was more important than winning. Integrity is the foundation of courage, which helps us break through ourselves and gain true respect.
