This actually happened to me a while ago, but it's something I think about often. When I was working alone at a small laundry shop, an elderly man came in and tried to request a wash rag from me (to clean his hands before handling his clothes). The interaction was very stressful, as he was angry and unclear about what he needed and my attempts to understand him better were met with obvious frustration from him. Long story short, he said something that was extremely unkind to me, and I wound up hiding - and crying - in the office.
While I was back there, I could still see out to the main laundry area and the parking lot. The man went out and sat in his truck for a while, and I saw that he had a dog with him. He patted the dog and seemed to be talking to it. Then, he came back in, walked over to the door to the office, and knocked on it.
I tried to act like I hadn't been crying, but I'm a hard crier, so it was probably pretty obvious. He looked at me and said, "Miss, I am very sorry. I'm not at my best today, and you didn't deserve any of that. I'm ashamed of myself."
I told him it was okay, but his apology made me even more emotional, so I started crying again, and then apologized to him for crying, and he said, "Don't you apologize because some guy was a jerk（混蛋）to you. You have every right to be upset." We stayed seated and talked until his laundry was done. He told me he'd lost his wife just a few weeks earlier, and he wasn't handling it very well.
I think about him a lot. That apology and the conversation that followed meant the world to me, and has helped in ways I couldn't even have predicted since. It restored my faith in people. Wherever he is now, I hope he knows that.
24. Why did the old man first come into the shop
A. To wash some clothes.
B. To look for his lost dog.
C. To ask for a cleaning cloth.
D. To complain about the service.
25. What does the underlined phrase “a hard crier” mean in paragraph 3
A. Someone who looks unhappy.
B. Someone who cries very easily.
C. Someone who never apologizes.
D. Someone who rarely shows feelings.
26. What did the writer and the man do after the apology
A. They cleaned the laundry area together.
B. They went outside to play with the dog.
C. They called the manager to report the incident.
D. They sat and talked until the laundry was finished.
27. What did the writer say the experience brought back for her
A. Her plan to get a pet dog.
B. Her memory of her own family.
C. Her hope in the kindness of people.
D. Her love for working in a laundry shop.

Listening to music into old age could reduce the risk of dementia（痴呆症）by almost 40 percent, a new study has found. It's based on data from 10,893 Australians aged 70 or older, who, at the time of sign-up, were living in retirement communities and had no diagnosis of dementia. They were asked about their music listening habits and whether they played an instrument.
Folks who "always" listened to music (as opposed to never, rarely, or sometimes listeners) were 39 percent less likely to develop dementia after at least three years of follow-up, and were 17 percent less likely to develop milder forms of cognitive impairments（认知障碍）. They also performed better on tests of general cognition and episodic memory, which is important for recalling everyday events.
Those who were regularly picking up an instrument to make music were 35 percent less likely to develop dementia, but, unlike in other studies, there was no significant improvement for other kinds of cognitive impairments. People who both listened to and played music had a 33 percent reduced dementia risk, and a 22 percent reduced risk for unrelated cognitive impairments. Education level seemed to play a role, too.
"Music engagement benefits were strongest in those with higher education (16+ years) but showed inconsistent results in the middle education group (12–15 years)," the study's authors write.
The paper's lead author, public health researcher Emma Jaffa from Monash University in Australia, says these results suggest "music activities may be an accessible strategy for maintaining cognitive health in older adults, though cause-and-effect cannot be established."
While we don't know for sure if listening to music can really stave off dementia, hearing loss is a known risk factor for dementia, and research shows hearing aids can reduce cognitive decline. So there’s no harm in keeping your favorite songs on repeat.
"Listening to music activates a whole range of regions across your brain," Monash University psychiatrist(精神病学家) and senior author Joanne Ryan explained in a radio interview, "and so that's really giving you that cognitive stimulation, which is beneficial to help reduce your risk of dementia."
28. What benefit did “always” listening to music show
A. It lowered the chance of getting dementia.
B. It completely prevented any memory loss.
C. It mainly improved physical coordination.
D. It worked better than playing instruments.
29. What did the study find about playing instruments regularly
A. It was less effective than just listening.
B. It showed no benefits for brain health.
C. It reduced risks for all thinking problems.
D. It notably cut dementia risk but not others.
30. How does music help the brain according to the text
A. By activating limited brain regions.
B. By mainly improving sleep quality.
C. By widely stimulating brain activity.
D. By replacing other mental exercises.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Music Linked to Better Aging Brains
B. The Critical Role of Formal Education
C. The Daily Lives of Elderly Australians
D. How to Become a Professional Musician
D
As Educators’ concerns are running high when it comes to AI and how it may destroy teaching and learning. Harvard professors are pioneering its use to actively enhance learning. Professors Greg Kestin and Kelly Miller are testing AI " tutor robots " in complex courses where personalized instruction is often impractical. These robots form part of a strategic approach that helps students identify knowledge gaps and progress autonomously.
When designed with research-backed principles, AI tutors can significantly boost learning outcomes while enriching classroom interactions, Miller emphasizes. Their study compared traditional lecture-based teaching with an AI-supported "flipped classroom" where students learn core lessons from the tailored robot on their own and bring questions to class.
Research shows students in AI-supported classes felt much more involved and motivated. A major reason, Miller explains, is that the AI can be customized to each individual. Traditional classrooms often have low engagement and little personal feedback, leaving students passive. With an AI tutor, they can learn at their own pace, ask endless questions anytime, and not worry about being judged.
And the robot should make students think and question, not think for them. Kestin warns that letting students freely use tools like ChatGPT for homework often leads to worse test results, because it replaces their own critical thinking. Instead, AI should offer hints, show ideas visually, help with data, or create practice problems.
Harvard has now set up its own AI helpers called HUbot and PingPong. Harvard Business School also uses a special tutor bot in its “Financial Reporting and Control” course. Current research is looking at what kinds of student-robot interactions help learning the most. Follow-up studies are checking the long-term effects, including how well students remember what they learn.
This work shows that when AI is carefully integrated, it can become more than just a productivity tool—it can become what Kestin calls a "thinking partner." By balancing technical ability with teaching wisdom, educators may turn AI from something seen as a threat into a force that drives more personalized, active, and fair learning experiences. The goal is never to replace teachers, but to strengthen their ability to meet students' diverse needs through intelligent support.
32. What is a major worry about AI in education stated at the beginning
A. It could make teachers completely unemployed.
B. It might damage the process of teaching and learning.
C. It is not advanced enough to understand student needs.
D. It will make education too expensive for many families.
33. What is a key reason students felt more motivated in AI-supported classes
A. There were no tests or exams in those classes.
B. They could use their personal smartphones freely.
C. The AI teacher was more humorous than human teachers.
D. The learning experience could be tailored for each learner.
34. What is a core function the AI tutor should have, according to Professor Kestin
A. It should strictly control the pace of learning for all students.
B. It should replace traditional textbooks with interactive videos.
C. It should encourage students' own thinking rather than doing it for them.
D. It should complete homework assignments for students to save some time.
35. What is the final relationship hoped for between AI and teachers based on the text
A. A cooperative relationship where AI improves teachers' abilities.
B. An independent relationship where both work in different fields.
C. A short-term relationship until AI can work completely on its own.
D. A competitive relationship where one will take the place of the other.

Do you want to be a teacher What is it like to work in the classroom Here is a typical day of my work in an Auckland primary-school classroom.
I try to get to work between 7 and 7:30. Our report time is 8:00, but being in the space helps me get ready for the day. I do more of my planning and preparation before the day instead of after the previous day. 36 Other teachers come in sometime between 7:30 and 8, and we’ll summary the previous day.
37 I check in on the conversations. I’ll do morning announcements, and at 9:00, we start with our reading block. As a second-grade teacher, I do foundational literacy, math, and ELA [English language arts]. Students come in at different levels, so in addition to whole-class instruction, I also organize students into smaller teams to meet the needs of all learners, providing extra chances for active participation.
At 10 a.m., we go to break, and you can see their identities forming, watching them play. Whatever they choose to do in this free 15 minutes is so interesting. I’m seeing how they socialize themselves—who plays what sport, who chooses to do what. 38
After break, we do math, which is also very cooperative. Next, there is lunchtime. This is my second-year teaching, so a lot of my students from last year will ask if they can have lunch with me. 39 I think it’s like, if we were walking around the same block, I might have walked around that block a couple of more times.
After lunch they go to lunch break, and at 12:30, they come back in for ELA, which is like social studies. At 2:45 there’s dismissal and we’ll wait with the students until their parents pick them up. 40 So, some days after school I’d be in an hourlong meeting on topics like instructional leadership, culture, or climate. Meetings are over around 4:15 p.m., and I will leave school, at the latest, 5 o’clock.
A. I really encourage cooperation.
B. Sometimes we’ll just do personal check-ins.
C. I’m also on a couple of leadership teams at my site.
D. All those things matter for who they will become later in life.
E. I really see it as an opportunity to just get to know the students better.
F. I’m writing my objectives on the whiteboard, looking through my plans.
G. At 8:30, I get my students, bring them into the classroom, and we start our day with breakfast.

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。
When my son Jack was in sixth grade, he often played basketball after school at the community court near our apartment. One rainy evening in March, he came home carrying a small, wet cat under his jacket. The cat had orange fur with white paws and large, trusting blue eyes. It was shaking from the cold, and Jack immediately asked if we could let it stay.
The cat looked young, maybe a year old, and had no identification. I felt torn. I knew the right thing was to check for an owner, but seeing how happy Jack was made me pause. I thought about putting up flyers, but secretly hoped no one would claim her. After all, I reasoned, a responsible owner would not let their pet out in such weather.
We dried her off and she settled in quickly. Jack named her Sunny. She was calm and loved to nap in patches of sunlight on the living room floor. A few days later, a feeling I couldn't ignore made me check the online neighborhood group. My heart sank when I saw a post from a family desperately searching for their missing orange cat named Marigold（金盏花）, last seen near the school. The description was a perfect match.
For a moment, I closed the webpage without saving it. I didn't tell Jack or my wife. Sunny had already found a place in our home. She followed Jack around and slept at the foot of his bed. But a quiet voice inside kept asking me what was truly right. I knew, deep down, I had to contact that family.

Small Acts, Big Changes
Hello, everyone!
I'm Li Hua. Today I am more than delighted to have the chance to speak about the topic: Small Acts, Big Changes.
Witnessing our school hallway often littered with paper last winter, I decided one morning to pick up a few pieces. A classmate noticed my simple action and immediately joined me. Inspired by this, more students followed the next day. Within a week, a messy passage was transformed into a cleaner space.
This experience taught me that meaningful change often begins with the simplest actions. Whether offering a smile or picking up trash can create positive impact. Let us all start today, looking around and asking what small act we can do right now.
That’s all. Thanks for your listening.

With a heavy heart, I finally made the telephone call two days later. A woman named Sarah answered, her voice full of anxiety and nervousness. When I described the cat which had orange fur with white paws and blue eyes, she became very emotional. Hearing my description, he said with a weak but happy voice that it sounded just like his lost friend. She explained that Marigold had slipped out an open window and her two young children were heartbroken. I invited them to come over that evening.
Just after dinner, there was a quiet knock. A couple and their two small children stood at the door. The moment we let Sunny into the room, the little girl cried out, "Marigold!" The cat replied happily and ran straight to the children. The couple and their children thanked us, with tears in their eyes. We shared how Sunny loved to chase balls. They then invited Jack to come play with their children and visit Marigold anytime. From that day on, our two families became friends. Sunny, now Marigold again, brought unexpected happiness and a lasting connection to all of us.
