Task II Experience the kindness of strangers.
It was a rainy Tuesday evening. I was waiting at the bus stop after a long day of work, feeling completely 16 . My phone battery had died, and I had no way to check the bus schedule. Twenty minutes passed, but no bus came.
A middle-aged woman standing next to me noticed my worried look. "Are you okay, dear " she asked 17 .
"I'm trying to get to Greenfield, but I'm not sure if I missed the last bus," I replied.
She smiled and said, "I take that route too. It's running late because of the rain. Don't 18 ."
We started chatting. Her name was Mrs. Chen, and she worked as a nurse. She told me about her day at the hospital, how she had 19 a little boy who was scared of getting a shot. "I held his hand and told him a story," she said. "By the end, he was smiling."
When the bus finally arrived, Mrs. Chen let me get on first. As I reached for my wallet, I realized I had 20 my bus card at home. I stood there, embarrassed, not knowing what to do.
Without a word, Mrs. Chen stepped forward and swiped her card 21 me. "Don't worry about it," she said. "We all need a little help sometimes."
I thanked her repeatedly, but she just waved her hand and found a seat. For the rest of the ride, we sat in comfortable 22 . When she got off at her stop, she turned back and said, "Remember to pass it on."
That small act of kindness stayed with me for years. It taught me that even in a city of millions, 23 can appear when you least expect it. Since that day, I have tried to 24 the same kindness to others. I've paid for a stranger's coffee, helped an elderly neighbor carry groceries, and volunteered at a local shelter.

Task III Decide if homework should be banned.
A
The big debate
Should homework be banned
For years, students and parents have argued about homework. Some say it helps learning, while others believe it causes stress and takes away family time. Now, several schools around the world are experimenting with "no-homework" policies. What do you think Should homework be a thing of the past
YES — Ban homework!
- Students already spend 6-7 hours in school. Extra work at home leads to burnout.
- Homework increases family stress. Parents and children often fight over assignments.
- Many studies show that homework has little benefit for elementary school students.
- Free time after school should be for sports, hobbies, and rest — not more worksheets.
NO — Keep homework!
- Homework reinforces what students learn in class. Practice makes progress.
- It teaches responsibility and time management — important life skills.
- Without homework, students may fall behind those in other countries.
- Well-designed homework (like reading for fun or projects) can actually increase curiosity.
What do you think
Now that you've read both sides, visit /polls to cast your vote. We'll share the results in next month's magazine.
26. According to the "YES" side, why is homework harmful for elementary students
A. It takes too much time to design.

In a small town in Ohio, 12-year-old Emma started a "Sunshine Committee" at her middle school. The idea came to her after she noticed a classmate sitting alone at lunch every day. "I thought about how lonely she must feel," Emma said. "So I decided to do something."
The Sunshine Committee is a group of student volunteers who perform small acts of kindness for others. They write encouraging notes, help carry heavy books, and sit with anyone who is eating alone. What started as Emma's idea has now grown to include over 50 students.
Emma's teacher, Mrs. Garcia, was amazed by the impact. "I've seen shy students come out of their shells," she said. "The whole school atmosphere has become warmer and more welcoming."
One of the committee members, 13-year-old Marcus, described how the group works. "We have a private chat group," he explained. "If someone sees a student who looks sad or left out, they post a message, and volunteers take turns cheering that person up."
The school principal decided to recognize the committee's efforts. "We created a 'Kindness Wall' in the hallway," he said. "Students can post thank-you notes to anyone who has helped them. The wall is almost always full.
Emma's mother said she wasn't surprised by her daughter's initiative. "Emma has always been an empathetic child," she said. "When she was six, she asked if we could donate her birthday presents to children in the hospital."
When asked what advice she has for other students, Emma said simply: "You don't have to do something big. A smile or a kind word can change someone's whole day. Just start where you are."
29. What made Emma start the Sunshine Committee
A. She was asked by her teacher.
B. She saw a classmate eating alone.
C. She wanted to win an award.
D. She read a book about kindness.

C. They organize after-school parties.
D. They teach classes for younger kids.
31. Which word best describes Emma
A. Shy and quiet. B. Caring and creative.
C. Serious and strict. D. Funny and loud.
C
Tom was drawing a picture when his little sister Lucy came into the room. "What are you making " she asked.
"It's a flying car," Tom said. "When I grow up, I'm going to invent one."
Lucy giggled. "That's impossible. Cars can't fly."
Just then, their grandfather walked in. He had heard the conversation. "You know, Lucy," he said, "people once said the same thing about airplanes, smartphones, and even light bulbs."
Grandpa sat down and told them a story. "When I was your age, my teacher told our class that humans would never walk on the moon. Twenty years later, I watched Neil Armstrong take that famous step on television."
"But Grandpa," Lucy said, "some things really are impossible, aren't they "
Grandpa thought for a moment. "Let me tell you about something called the 'four-minute mile.' For thousands of years, people believed it was impossible for a human to run a mile in less than four minutes. Doctors said the human body would break down. Then, in 1954, a man named Roger Bannister did it. And guess what happened next "
"What " both children asked.
"Within one year, 37 other runners also broke the four-minute mile. The only thing that had changed was people's belief about what was possible."
Tom's eyes lit up. "So my flying car isn't impossible "
"I'm not saying it will be easy," Grandpa said with a smile. "But never let anyone tell you that something is impossible just because it hasn't been done yet. Every invention starts with someone who dared to imagine."
Lucy looked at Tom's drawing again. "Can I help you design it " she asked.
Tom grinned. "Of course. You can be in charge of the color."
32. What did Grandpa's teacher say when he was young
A. Airplanes would become common.
B. Humans would never walk on the moon.
C. Smartphones would change the world.
D. The four-minute mile was possible.
33. What happened after Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile
A. Doctors proved it was dangerous.
B. Many other runners did the same.
C. People stopped trying to run fast.
D. The record was never broken again.
34. What lesson does Grandpa want to teach the children
A. Hard work always leads to success.
B. Impossible things can become possible.
C. Older people know more than young people.
D. Flying cars will be invented very soon.
35. How does Lucy's attitude change by the end of the story
A. She still thinks the flying car is impossible.
B. She becomes interested in helping Tom.
C. She decides to become a runner.
D. She wants to prove Grandpa wrong.
D
Have you ever noticed that some people seem to learn new skills faster than others A growing body of research suggests that the secret may lie in something called a "growth mindset."
Psychologist Carol Dweck from Stanford University spent decades studying how people think about their own abilities. She discovered that people generally fall into two categories. Those with a "fixed mindset" believe that intelligence and talent are born, not made — you either have it or you don't. Those with a "growth mindset" believe that abilities can be developed through effort, learning, and persistence.
The difference between these two mindsets has powerful effects. In one study, Dweck and her team gave a group of students a set of challenging puzzles. Students with a growth mindset welcomed the challenge and learned from their mistakes. Students with a fixed mindset, however, became discouraged and avoided difficult problems.
But here's the good news: mindsets can be changed. In another study, researchers taught a group of struggling students that the brain is like a muscle — the more you use it, the stronger it gets. After learning this simple idea, the students' grades improved significantly. They started seeing mistakes as opportunities to learn rather than signs of failure.
So how can you develop a growth mindset First, pay attention to your self-talk. When you catch yourself thinking "I'm just not good at math," add the word "yet" — "I'm not good at math yet." Second, celebrate effort, not just results. Did you try a new strategy Did you keep working even when it was hard Those are successes. Third, learn from others who inspire you. Read about scientists, artists, and athletes who failed many times before they succeeded.
Thomas Edison famously said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." That's a growth mindset in action. The next time you face something difficult, remember: your brain is ready to grow. You just have to give it the chance.
36. What do people with a fixed mindset believe
A. Intelligence can be developed through effort.
B. Abilities are something you are born with.
C. Mistakes are opportunities to learn.
D. The brain grows like a muscle.
37. How did struggling students improve in the study mentioned in paragraph 4
A. They were given easier puzzles.
B. They learned that the brain can grow.
C. They were taught by Carol Dweck herself.
D. They practiced the same problems repeatedly.
38. What does the author suggest doing to develop a growth mindset
A. Avoid difficult tasks to prevent failure.
B. Compare yourself only to your past self.
C. Use the word "yet" when facing challenges.
D. Focus only on final results, not effort.
39. Why does the author mention Thomas Edison
A. To show that failure is always bad.
B. To prove that intelligence is fixed.
C. To give an example of a growth mindset.
D. To argue that hard work is unnecessary.
40. What is the best title for this passage
A. Why Some People Are Smarter Than Others
B. The Power of a Growth Mindset
C. How to Avoid Making Mistakes
D. The Life of Carol Dweck

X Let's explore the fascinating world of animal communication!
A) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在短文后表格中第56~63小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词，回答第64小题。将答案填写在答题卡标号为56~64的相应横线上。
注意：第56~63小题每个空格只填1个单词；第64小题不少于20个词。
When you think of animal communication, you probably imagine sounds — dogs barking, birds singing, or lions roaring. But animals have developed many surprising ways to send messages without making a noise.
Take the cuttlefish, for example. This sea creature is sometimes called the "chameleon of the sea" because it can change its skin color and texture in less than a second. A cuttlefish uses these changes to communicate with other cuttlefish. A dark color might mean "I'm angry" or "stay away," while a light color with waving patterns might mean "I'm interested in you." Male cuttlefish have even been observed showing female patterns on one side of their body to attract a female, while showing male patterns on the other side to fool a competing male.
Bees, as many people know, communicate through dance. When a scout bee finds a good food source, it returns to the hive and performs a "waggle dance." The direction of the dance tells other bees which way to fly, and the duration of the dance tells them how far to go. This form of communication is so precise that other bees can find flowers up to 10 kilometers away.
Elephants have a secret language that humans cannot hear. They produce low-frequency sounds called infrasound that travel for many kilometers through the ground. Other elephants "hear" these messages through their feet, which are extremely sensitive to vibrations. Scientists have recorded elephants using specific infrasound calls to warn others of danger, to gather the herd, and even to greet old friends after long separations.
Perhaps the most unusual form of animal communication comes from the honeybee's "shaking signal." When a bee returns from a disappointing trip with little or no food, it performs a shaking dance. This signal discourages other bees from going to that location, saving the colony's energy for more promising sources.
Ants communicate mainly through chemicals called pheromones. When an ant finds food, it leaves a chemical trail on the ground as it returns to the nest. Other ants follow this trail to the food. But ants also use different pheromones for different purposes — one for "danger," one for "follow me," and even one for "I'm dead" (which causes other ants to carry the body away).
Understanding animal communication is not just interesting — it can help us protect endangered species. For example, by recording and understanding elephant infrasound calls, conservationists can predict when herds are moving toward human farms and take action to prevent conflicts.
Aspect Details
What is the article about Animals communicate in many 56_____ ways besides sounds.
Examples of silent communication
Cuttlefish Change skin color and texture to show emotions or 57_____ other cuttlefish.
Bees (waggle dance) The direction tells the 58_____ to fly; the duration tells the distance.

Ants Leave 61_____ trails (pheromones) to guide others to food or warn of danger.
Why it matters Understanding animal communication helps with 62_____ efforts. Example: predicting elephant movements to avoid 63_____ with humans.
64. Based on the passage, which form of animal communication do you find most amazing Why (at least 20 words)
XI Let's explore the world of Chinese puppetry!
B) 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为65~74的相应位置上。
Chinese puppetry is one of the oldest forms of storytelling in the world. For over 2,000 years, puppeteers have used strings, rods, and even their hands to bring characters to life. This art form is not just e 65 for children — it often tells serious stories about history, love, and war.
There are several t 66 of Chinese puppetry. The most famous is the string puppet (marionette), which uses up to 36 strings to control a single puppet's movements. The puppeteer must practice for years to m 67 this skill. Another type is the shadow puppet, where flat leather figures are held b 68 a light screen. The audience sees only the shadows, which creates a magical effect.
In recent years, traditional puppetry has faced c 69 . Fewer young people are learning the craft, and audiences are shrinking. However, some artists are finding w 70 to keep the art alive. They combine puppetry with modern technology like LED lights and digital projections. One group in Fujian even created a puppet show about space exploration — a 71 from the usual historical stories.
"I believe puppetry can speak to modern audiences," says Lin Wei, a 32-year-old puppeteer. "The key is to respect the tradition w 72 also being creative." Lin's troupe performs at schools and community centers, often f 73 for free. "When I see children's eyes light up during a show, I know this art still has a f 74 ," he adds.

Dear Mr. Wang,
Thank you for asking us to think about our future dreams.
I want to become an environmental scientist. I have two main reasons for this choice. First, I am deeply worried about climate change and pollution. I want to help find solutions to protect our planet. Second, I have always loved nature and bining these two interests feels like the perfect path for me.
To prepare for this job, I will study hard in biology and chemistry. I plan to join environmental clubs and volunteer for clean-up activities. After high school, I hope to study environmental science at university. I will also learn from scientists by reading their research and watching documentaries.
What is your dream job, Mr. Wang I would love to hear your story too.
Yours sincerely,
