5-Minute Class Break Recharge
With back-to-back classes and mounting exam pressure, finding time to move between lessons can feel impossible. This 5-minute break routine is all you need to recharge your brain—no gym, no change of clothes, no problem.
How It Works
After each 40-minute class or study session, use your 5-minute break to do this routine. It combines light stretches, joint mobility, and standing core moves to wake up your body and prepare you for the next lesson—without leaving the classroom or hallway.
Routine Details (Total: 5 minutes)
Exercise Duration How to Do It
Neck Rolls 40 sec Slowly roll head side to side and up/down. No full circles.
Standing Side Stretch 30 sec Reach one arm up, lean to opposite side. Switch sides halfway.
Knee March 45 sec March in place, lifting knees high.
Shoulder Rolls 40 sec 10 forward, 10 backward.
Jumping Jacks 30 sec Feet hip width apart, gently twist left and right. Low impact option: step side to side.
Wall Sit 40 sec Lean against wall, hold like sitting in a chair.
High Knees (slow) 45 sec Lift knees to waist level at a steady pace.
Deep Breaths 30 sec Stand still. Breathe in deeply, breathe out slowly. Repeat 3 times.
Add Mindfulness
This routine is short—but adding mindfulness makes your workout above more powerful.
Pay attention: Feel your muscles wake up with each move.
Breathe: Match movements to your breath—breathe in as you prepare, breathe out as you stretch or apply force.
Be gentle: Don t force stretches. Move within a comfortable range.
A Note for Busy Grades
Too tired Do low-impact jumping jacks (step side to side instead of jumping).
Tight on space Most moves can be done right next to your desk.
Worried about looking silly Chances are, your classmates will join in.
5 minutes is not time wasted—it s an investment in your next 40 minutes of learning.
Try it for one week. You ll feel the difference.

Goldie Chan knows how to put herself out there.
Chan, the founder of branding agency Warm Robots, is also an author, a content creator, and a frequent speaker. Still, she describes herself as an introvert (性格内向者) at heart. Earlier in her career, Chan worked completely behind the scenes in various marketing and social media roles. In 2017, she began posting short videos about pop culture branding. She posted over 800 daily videos and quickly attracted many followers.
Chan writes about how introverts can level up their careers in her book Personal Branding for Introverts. "Developing a strong personal brand allows you to shape the story that other people are telling about you," Chan says.
Many introverts have said to Chan, "I m so terrified of growing my personal brand because I don t want to put myself out there." Chan herself used to feel the same way. To reduce her social anxiety, she challenged herself to speak with a new person at her local coffee shop each day for a month. "If you re nervous about reaching out to professional connections, send one networking email a month. If you re trying to grow an online presence, post one update a week," Chan says.
Keep in mind that your personal brand doesn t just exist online. Participating in social events like hobby groups can also contribute to building your brand. "Your unique interests help set you apart, and you might be surprised at the opportunities that arise," Chan says. "A personal brand is never created alone. Being involved in groups that interest you, even if they re not directly related to your career, helps you form good relationships with others. People get to know you, trust you, and may share advice or opportunities."
Imagine your personal brand is the hub (轮毂) of a wheel. "The spokes (轮辐) are all the things you do—volunteering, learning new skills, or posting videos. When each spoke connects firmly to the hub, your wheel rolls smoothly, carrying you farther on your path," Chan says.
24.What change did Chan make in career in 2017
A. She began coming into the public view.
B. She took a long break from creating content.
C. She started selling products on social media.
D. She focused on managing her advertising agency.
25.What does Chan advise introverts to do
A. Ask experts for advice. B. Change their personality.
C. Take consistent small steps. D. Prioritize face-to-face talks.
26.Why does Chan recommend participating in offline activities
A. To feel less lonely. B. To gain more followers.
C. To look more professional. D. To better build a personal brand.
27.What does Chan stress through the wheel metaphor
A. Confidence is vital for success.
B. Personal brand should be genuine.
C. Every small action makes a difference.
D. Interests and hobbies inspire your brand.

Most young people today have never picked a tomato off a vine (藤蔓), collected eggs from a chicken cage, or understood the work that goes into growing a single head of cabbage. This disconnection from food sources creates a broader disconnection from the environment and the systems that sustain us. Sustainable agriculture education fills this gap by giving students direct experience with how food is grown and harvested.
When the youth engage with farming and gardening, they develop a deeper appreciation for the resources required to produce food. They witness the first-hand relationship between healthy soil, clean water, and nutritious crops. They learn that food production doesn t happen in isolation but as part of complex ecosystems involving insects, microorganisms, weather patterns, and human labor.
Beyond environmental awareness, students also learn patience as they wait for seeds to come up and plants to mature. They develop problem-solving abilities when facing challenges such as pests, drought, and unexpected weather. They practice responsibility through regular care and maintenance of plants and animals. They experience how individual contributions combine to create collective success. Many students also discover they enjoy and excel at hands-on work, building confidence that might not emerge in traditional academic settings.
When students work with living systems, they witness cause-and-effect relationships that might otherwise remain abstract. Water conservation becomes personal when students must regularly irrigate their plants and can observe the consequences of too much or too little water. Installing rainwater collectors, learning about drip irrigation, or comparing the water needs of different crops can make resource management tangible. Students begin thinking critically about water use, not just in the garden but in their broader lives.
Simply begin by assessing your available space and resources. A sunny corner of a schoolyard, a vacant lot, or even containers can become productive growing spaces. The key is to start with manageable projects that can succeed. Growing easy, fast-maturing crops gives students quick wins and keeps up enthusiasm while they learn fundamental skills.
28.What problem can sustainable agriculture education address
A. The urgent threat posed by climate change.
B. The growing challenges of ensuring food security.
C. Students ignorance of environmental conservation.
D. Students lack of direct engagement with farming.
29.How does sustainable agriculture education benefit students
A. By improving their physical strength.
B. By boosting their academic performance.
C. By maximizing their personal contributions.
D. By developing their qualities and capabilities.
30.What does "tangible" underlined in paragraph 4 mean
A. Available. B. Concrete. C. Flexible. D. Complex.
31.What does the author suggest on agricultural education
A. Finding a sunny farm.
B. Buying costly equipment first.
C. Waiting for perfect conditions.
D. Starting with accessible projects.
D
Having to find a toilet during long road trips is, now, no longer a pain as Chinese electric vehicle engineers are prepared to roll out a fleet of cars featuring built-in toilets. They re putting a little restroom in your vroom-vroom.
Seres, Chinese carmaker specializing in high-end electric vehicles (NEVs) and intelligent technology, has been granted a patent for what it calls an "in-vehicle toilet" that slides under a passenger s seat for mid-trip use. The feature is meant to "satisfy users toilet needs on long journeys, while camping or while staying in the car," according to the patent Seres filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration.
And, as if the ability to relieve yourself while on the run isn t cool enough, the carmakers reportedly plan to equip the loo (马桶) to appear with either the push of a button or through voice-activated commands. To limit strong, unpleasant smells, the loo comes with a fan and an exhaust pipe, implemented to channel smells out of the car. Waste is collected in a tank that has to be emptied manually. The toilet also boasts a rotating heating element that evaporates urine (蒸发尿液) and dries other waste. When not in use, the toilet is hidden beneath the seat, making full use of the space inside a car without requiring more room.
Seres, based in Chongqing, has not announced an official release of vehicles with the onboard bathroom. It s unclear if cars boasting the luxurious toilets will ever, actually, hit the Chinese electric vehicle market. It s a booming industry with innovators claiming to pump out the trendiest, most futuristic frills (配置), including everything from the ability to fly down NYC roadways at over 200 MPH to literally flying in the sky.
In-vehicle toilets, however, are much more rare, but not totally unprecedented. A 1954 car Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Limousine, featuring a passenger seat pot by Joseph J Mascuch, sold for $150,000. The brainchild of the inventor from New Jersey makes it possible for travelers in their luxurious rides to finalize deals from the inbuilt telephone before taking a bottle from the gold-plated toilet-cum-champagne cooler under the seat cushion.
Now that s taking a leak in luxury.
32.Why does Seres roll out cars with built-in toilets
A. To match car telephones.
B. To beat other carmakers.
C. To promote intelligent technology.
D. To meet users toilet needs on trips.
33.Which aspects of in-vehicle toilet does Paragraph 3 focus on
A. Price and market. B. Origin and history.
C. Design and function. D. Brand and competition.
34.Why is Joseph J Mascuch mentioned
A. To promote his latest invention.
B. To explain how to make a car toilet.
C. To show his fame in the car industry.
D. To prove in-vehicle toilets are not novel.
35.What is the best title for the text
A. Futuristic Frills: Built-in Toilets in EVs
B. Granted Patent: Groundbreaking revolution
C. Flying Vehicles: Amazing Traffic Innovation
D. Outdoor Travel: Convenient Camping Equipment

Embrace the Monotony
For most of my twenties, I couldn’t brush my teeth, ride public transit, or take a walk without listening to a podcast or audiobook. (36)
But since reading All the Beauty in the World (2023), I’ve been reconsidering my relationship to dull, seemingly empty moments. In the book, Patrick Bringley recounts his decade among the watchful guards of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. He stood in the Met’s echoic halls for hours on end, day after predictable day. (37) Initial craze for the art gave way to boredom, and then, enlightenment. He submitted to the ‘turtleish movement of a watchman’s time’, stopped thinking about how much of his shift was left, and let the hours drift.
I think about Bringley’s experience when I have to engage in any long, monotonous (单调乏味的) task. (38) I resist the urge to fill the time with music or podcasts and strive instead for what Bringley calls a ‘princely detachment (超然)’ from time, finding the luxury and slight distinction in the moment.
(39) Noticing patterns in the different kinds of Met visitors, Bringley developed an appreciation for artworks that he initially ignored. Hanging up my laundry, I notice patterns in how different articles of clothing tend to wrinkle in the wash. I pay finer attention to the unique composition of facial features on the faces of people I stand in line with. I am learning, I think, to appreciate beauty in the little things.
Of course, it requires constant practice to find the peace and richness in these stretches of time. (40) But your reward comes, Bringley says, when an hour no longer feels an hour long, and you hardly remember how to be bored.
A．Silence, I thought, was a waste of time.
B．Moreover, I perceive beauty in the monotony.
C．It is not always easy to slow down and stay present.
D．But dull moments are actually full of hidden beauty.
E．It might be waiting in line or doing household chores.
F．Monotonous moments were usually seen as quality time.
G．He found his relationship to the work slowly changed over time.
36.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
37.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
38.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
39.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
40.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G

57.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 I had a further study in Australia, the amazing chopsticks I was used to could have helped me with eating. However, it troubled me a lot, making my study life there full of twists.
For me, a Chinese student, I made it a daily must to use chopsticks. When I ate in the school canteen every day, chopsticks helped me enjoy food happily. However, it was just then that the foreign classmates surrounded me immediately, looked at me with curiosity and whispered in confusion: "My goodness, the strange chopsticks!" At first, I would smile and briefly tell them how to use chopsticks. But with the thing staying unchanged, the stranger my classmates felt, the more uncomfortable I felt. It was the cultural difference that made it. Eventually, I doubted if I would give up using chopsticks and learn to use a knife and fork instead.
Once we had a dinner, everyone sat in the restaurant. I couldn t help reaching out for chopsticks. Mike, who was in the same group, saw this and shouted excitedly, "Look, the strange chopsticks!" As he spoke, he took a pair of chopsticks and awkwardly used them. But before the food was picked up, the chopsticks dropped on the floor. The chaotic laughing exploded while my face was flushed with embarrassment. Eating with my head lowered, I was in low spirits. I came to realize that in their opinion, chopsticks were just a strange tool, and my using chopsticks here simply became a laughing stock (笑柄). Nevertheless, I loved chopsticks carrying Chinese traditional culture from the bottom of my heart.
As time went by, others kept misunderstanding chopsticks. I smiled casually, but deep down I worried that using them would never be accepted here. And I tried to avoid using chopsticks in public, even learned to use knife and fork in the following days. To my great surprise, the school expected everyone to prepare for the annually-held culture-sharing event. I was at a loss.

57.The culture-sharing event was approaching. It warmly welcomed the exchange students to take part. I imagined what a golden opportunity it was to show Chinese chopsticks culture! However, across my eyes flashed the embarrassing scenes such as Mike using chopsticks awkwardly and the other students laughing chaotically. Hesitant and indecisive, I was deeply torn. At the thought of chopsticks carrying Chinese culture, I felt my indecisiveness disappearing all at once. Meanwhile, I was wildly imagining what to do with chopsticks in the coming event. “Why not remove my classmates’ misunderstanding and clear their confusion ” lingered in my mind. Subsequently, I was busying myself composing a speech on Chinese chopsticks. Time flying like an arrow, the event eventually kicked off.
I was well prepared to share the chopsticks culture in the event. The enthusiastic classmates surrounding me tightly were listening with the intense interest twinkling in their eyes. Abruptly, Mike said “I misunderstood you. Now, I know chopsticks carry Chinese culture.”“ Surely, chopsticks symbolize harmony, unity and coexistence,” responded I. A surge of thunderous cheers exploded among them. In a split second, I held chopsticks high in the air, showing them how to use them skillfully. Then came the fabulous moment when everyone followed me with great enthusiasm. Seeing everyone immersed in the ocean of happiness, I felt a wave of warmth coursing through me. Meanwhile, my classmates shouted in chorus “we want chopsticks!” I came to know that the culture-sharing event really meant promoting the cross-cultural communication and bridging the cultural divide.
58.Hello, everyone! I'm feeling greatly honored to introduce our project study and its result, The Campus Plant Guide.
①Firstly, it was with curiosity that we observed the plants growing on campus. Naturally, taking photos of them was what we strongly desired to do. Secondly, we searched online for some relevant information to identify each species. Undoubtedly, the information we collected contributed to creating The Campus Plant Guide. Brief as the guide was, it highlighted the distinctive species. ②Additionally, not only is the guide equipped with vivid pictures, but it also contains fun facts. How amazing it is!
Plants make our campus full of vigor and vitality. Hopefully, this guide will spark your enthusiasm for our project study.
Thank you for listening!
