Several years ago, I was addicted to personal bests (PBs). I treated every run as a never-ceasing battle against time with my GPS watch serving as my judge. Failure seemed certain unless I hit the target pace while success merely fueled the urge to map out how to go faster next time.
It was two years before this means of running brought out multiple physical discomforts in me. Then a major injury — my broken ankle — sidelined me for three months, forcing me to switch to long, unhurried walks in the nearby park — no watch, no headphones and just the rhythm of my footsteps. It came as a revelation: I noticed the golden color of dusk filtering through oak leaves, the laughter of children echoing from the playground and the smell of freshly baked bread floating from a nearby bakery.
When I returned to running, I resolved to abandon the addiction to PBs, opting for a pace gentle enough to allow off-key singing without breathing heavily. I joined a social running group, where we paused to pet dogs and share weekly stories. Then trail running, where roots and rocks demand full attention to footing rather than speed, became my new pursuit. Initially, it felt odd, like I was cheating, casting me into a mild state of disquiet with this unaccustomed pace. Soon, this shift brought clarity.
One Saturday dawn, an aimless run led me to a reservoir. As I watched the sunlight sparkling on the water, I realized I hadn’t checked my electronic watch even once-no thoughts of pace or distance, just pure pleasure in running. That’s when it hit me: The essence of running doesn’t lie in pursuing data but in fully inhabiting the present, embracing surrounding delights and connecting with my body, nature and the world. That, indeed, is the greatest personal best of all. Now, I run to unwind after a long workday, to bond with friends and to witness sunrises. Occasionally I race at full speed, only when it feels fulfilling, not driven by a device and letting go of the need to prove myself.
24. What can we learn about the author in paragraph 1
A. He felt tired of daily training. B. He ran to compete with others.
C. He used GPS to explore routes. D. He cared too much about his records.
25. What does the underlined word “revelation” in paragraph 2 probably refer to
A. A temporary relief. B. A deep regret.
C. A refreshing realization. D. A painful recovery.
26. What is the author’s current attitude towards his GPS watch
A. Highly dependent. B. Less concerned.
C. Strongly critical. D. Deeply confused.
27. What does the author’s experience convey
A. Physical injuries often lead to mental growth.
B. Setting practical goals is essential for athletes.
C. True pleasure in sports lies beyond tracking data.
D. Social connection is the ultimate goal of running.
C
That satisfying feeling after doomscrolling through endless TikTok videos or impulsively shopping online mimics the relief of scratching an itch. This is dopamine (多巴胺) at work — a brain chemical responsible for feelings of reward and accomplishment. Whether engaging in viral videos or new hobbies, dopamine creates a sense of achievement that keeps us coming back for more.
However, reliance on these dopamine hits can lead to lasting brain changes, particularly in teenagers and young adults. This is what my team and I at London Southbank University study. We investigated which brain regions and connections change due to increased social media engagement — or “dopa-mining”, as we call it.
Using social media lights up the same parts of your brain as other addictions, such as drugs, alcohol and gambling. Scientists have found that every time you get a “like”, or even watch a video you enjoy, your brain’s reward system gets activated. This is the same system that makes people feel pleasure when they win money or eat their favorite snack.
But here’s the catch: the more you use social media, the harder it can be for your brain to resist it. It’s like training your brain to long for those dopamine hits — just like an addiction.
Ever wonder why social media feels so addictive It’s because your brain starts trimming neurons (修剪神经元), a bit like cutting away extra branches on a tree, to make the “reward pathway” faster.
This sounds efficient, but it’s not great. The shorter pathway means your brain can “feel” rewards faster, but we know from research that it can also make you more excited and less able to stop yourself from scrolling. Over time, this trimming can cut down the size of certain brain areas, which are key for controlling emotions and making decisions.
28. What does the underlined word “doomscrolling” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Scrolling through a lot of negative news.
B. Scrolling through various videos for creation.
C. Scrolling long through social media aimlessly.
D. Scrolling through specific contents to gain knowledge.
29. What does the author’s team at London Southbank University study
A. Ways to engage in new hobbies. B. Dopamine production in the brain.
C. Brain regions affected by social media. D. Similarities among different addictions.
30. What is the result of the brain trimming
A. It enables people to make wise decisions.
B. It helps people better control their emotions.
C. It strengthens the links between brain regions.
D. It makes the size of certain brain areas smaller.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. The functions of dopamine in the brain.
B. The benefits of social media engagement.
C. The exploration into brain’s reward system.
D. The lasting effects of social media on the brain.
D
It might seem strange that in an information-rich world, people often try their best to avoid finding out about certain things. Whether it’s skipping a follow-up doctor’s appointment or refusing to read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: “the Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its head in the sand. Researchers at the University of Chicago set out to understand when and why this occurs.
In one experiment, children aged from 5 to 10 were asked to imagine their favorite and least favorite candy. Then came the choice: Would they like to watch a video about why eating that candy was bad for their teeth Children at the age of 5 or 6 wanted to know — good or bad, the information itself was exciting. Older children, however, hesitated. They were much less interested in hearing about the downsides of their favorite treat, though they had no problem learning why their least favorite candy was bad.
So why do children transform from fearless learners into strategic avoiders The answer lies in emotions. Information is not neutral (中立的) — it often carries consequences for how we feel. News about our health, abilities, or beliefs can trigger disappointment, anxiety, or shame. By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions.
Saving ourselves from pain can be protective, yet when avoidance becomes habitual, the costs can outweigh the benefits. At a personal level, refusing to learn important medical information can endanger health. At a societal level, avoidance may entrench political divides or stubborn mindsets. When people deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and connection.
At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed.
32. Which of the following shows the “Ostrich Effect”
A. A patient checking drug side effects.
B. A player blaming others for his failure.
C. A runner dropping out of a fierce race.
D. A student refusing to check his test scores.
33. Why does the “Ostrich Effect” occur
A. To build up self-confidence. B. To avoid psychological pain.
C. To screen useless information. D. To develop independent thinking.
34. What does the underlined word “entrench” in paragraph 4 mean
A. deepen. B. create. C. remove. D. settle.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Information Explosion: A Modern Crisis
B. The Ostrich Effect: Why We Avoid Facts
C. Emotions: The Key to Strategic Learning
D. The Ostrich Effect: Comfort Comes First

The Power of Small Steps
In a world that often celebrates big achievements and overnight success, it’s easy to overlook the power of small, consistent steps. Many of us set grand goals, only to feel discouraged when progress is slow or invisible, failing to realise that lasting success is rarely built in a flash. ____36____
Small steps are the building blocks of great things. Think about how a seed grows into a tall tree. It doesn’t happen in a day. ____37____ Every day, it absorbs sunlight and water, pushing its roots deeper into the soil, until one day, it stands tall and strong, a proof of patience and persistence (坚持). Our goals are like that seed — they need time and daily care.
____38____ For example, if your goal is to improve your English, reading a short passage every day is better than trying to finish a thick book in one weekend. The former builds a habit; the latter often leads to burnout. Consistency is key, and small steps make consistency possible by keeping the task manageable.
Another advantage of small steps is that they reduce anxiety. When you take on a huge task, it’s natural to feel nervous. ____39____ However, breaking it into small steps helps. You’ll feel a sense of accomplishment with each small win, which will motivate you to keep going. This positive cycle can turn even the most difficult goal into something manageable.
Small steps teach a growth lesson. ____40____ So, the next time you’re faced with a big goal, don’t be afraid to start small. Remember, every great journey begins with a single step.
A. Small steps help form good habits.
B. We may even give up before starting.
C. Work on the huge task a little bit daily.
D. It changes quietly and steadily underground.
E. But small steps have the power to change this.
F. Small steps can by no means change the situation.
G. They remind us that progress, not perfection, is what matters.

When Mum told me to stay with Grandpa for a couple of hours, I was extremely unwilling deep down. “He doesn’t like me,” I said. “Oh, of course he likes you. He’s just sad since Grandma passed away,” Mum replied. We drove straight to Grandpa’s in an uncomfortable silence.
After dropping me off at Grandpa’s apartment, Mum headed to her appointment, promising to come to pick me up soon. Spotting me, Grandpa motioned for me to sit. We glanced up at each other now and then but didn’t say anything. “Want to watch television ” he asked. I nodded. But nothing was on. Two minutes later, he turned the TV off. We sat there, Grandpa patting his legs restlessly, and me trying to find a comfortable position on his old, soft couch.
Suddenly, I felt something hard on the floor beneath the couch. I reached down and pulled it out. It was a wooden box with fancy designs carved into the sides. “Chess ” I said, surprised. “Yeah, I used to play. Do you play ” Grandpa asked. “Never,” I answered. Grandpa fell quiet for a moment, staring at the window and still tapping his legs. Then he suggested that since we had time, he could teach me how to play. I agreed casually.
Grandpa opened the box, a smell of wood polish rising from inside. He taught me about all the pieces and showed me how they moved: the king could move one square in any direction, and the game was won by trapping him; pawns (兵) moved straight forward; knights (马) moved in an L-shape and could leap over other pieces... I was amazed at how patient he was.
We practiced a bunch of times. He just corrected me and had me try again. Finally, when he was satisfied that I knew what to do with all the pieces, he said we were ready to play for real.

My Views on the Use of AI Assistants in Learning
Recently, an increasing number of students in our class have started using AI assistants for learning tasks. While this may seem efficient, it raises concerns about its long-term impact on learning quality.
Although AI assistants can provide helpful support, over-reliance on them may limit students’ ability to think critically and solve problems independently. When students skip the process of exploring and understanding on their own, their knowledge tends to remain shallow. To address this, I suggest that AI should be used as a supportive tool rather than a primary resource. By using it wisely and only when needed, students can benefit from its help while still developing essential thinking skills.
In conclusion, balancing AI use with active learning is the key to making it truly beneficial.
【答案】范文
Our first game began and I played with full attention. I carefully moved each piece, recalling Grandpa’s instructions, and even tried to trap his king. Grandpa smiled gently, sometimes nodding in approval when I made a good move. When I accidentally moved a pawn wrong, he didn’t blame me but pointed it out softly and guided me to correct it. The room was no longer silent — we chatted quietly about the game, and I even heard Grandpa laugh for the first time that afternoon. I forgot my initial unwillingness and got totally absorbed in the chessboard.
We were really enjoying ourselves when Mum returned. She stood at the door, smiling in surprise as she saw us leaning over the chessboard, talking and laughing. “I see you two have made friends,” she said. Grandpa looked at me warmly and patted my shoulder: “This kid is a quick learner.” I grinned, feeling a warm connection with him. As we left, I told Grandpa I would come back to play chess with him again. For the first time, I realized that Grandpa wasn’t unfriendly — he just needed someone to share his time with, and that someone could be me.
