University Coffee is an inviting coffee shop that offers great coffee, wonderful farm-fresh ingredients, and home-baked desserts. The atmosphere is relaxing, with plenty of comfortable seating, and the staff is friendly. Customers can choose from various coffee flavors and specials, as well as breakfast options. In general, University Coffee is a popular spot for locals and visitors to enjoy a delicious drink and a relaxing atmosphere.
Kelsey Pelham October 2025 Rating stars: ★★★★★ I come here regularly to meet with friends. It’s a cheerful space with lots of natural light, local art decorating the walls and books available in the lower room. As for the menu, there is definitely a spirit of innovation with new creations offered seasonally. Last thing I will comment on is that this coffee shop participates in community partnerships and really seems to practice local sourcing as much as possible, and they advertise special events and opportunities each month. A stand-out coffee shop we are blessed to have.
Aldo Lavalle November 2025 Rating stars: ★★★☆☆ Pretty good first experience overall. Spacious dining area, lots of sitting options, very homey-feel… Has WiFi, clearly displayed password. Ample (丰富的) menu. Parking can be a drawback at first glance until you come across the extra parking lot sign in the back. Since the actual parking lot near the building is super small, only a few spaces, there should be a clear sign at the front where it says “additional parking in the back”, or else you won’t know it’s there. Overall would recommend.
1. Which aspect of University Coffee received the highest rating
A.Relaxing atmosphere. B.Farm-fresh food.
C.Approachable service. D.Organic coffee.
2. What does Pelham praise the coffee shop for
A.Popularity among local artists. B.Classic old-fashioned coffee.
C.Active community engagement. D.Global sourcing practices.
3. What does Lavalle suggest about the shop’s parking
A.Closing the back parking lot. B.Adding a parking sign.
C.Building another parking lot. D.Enlarging the front area.
B
Till last year, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d done a jigsaw puzzle. It must have been at least 20 years ago. As far as I was concerned, puzzles were for kids. There were always other more exciting, interesting and productive things to do — or so I thought.
While at home on a rainy autumn afternoon, I chanced on a jigsaw puzzle that had been lying untouched since my husband and I were given it a few years ago. I’m not sure what came over me — perhaps it was because my husband was watching a film that didn’t particularly interest me — but I decided to give it a go.
The 1,000-piece puzzle took me a couple of weeks to complete. I would spend from five minutes to two hours on it at a time, depending on how busy I was. Strangely, there’s something so satisfying about finding the right piece for a space, joining up sections, getting closer to finishing a picture. Every time I successfully place a piece, I get a little rush and feel a sense of achievement. It’s a dopamine hit, but not one I usually get from just scrolling stream media. I soon became addicted to it.
Meanwhile, I’ve found an unexpected bonus: the slightly physical aspect of it, leaning over the pieces and picking different ones up, means I can’t be on my phone at the same time. I especially love that doing a puzzle doesn’t involve a screen in any capacity since so many aspects of my life almost can’t go without my computer, my phone or the television — even following a workout app in the gym or listening to a podcast on a walk.
And I’ve come to realize puzzling is not just for kids after all. Perhaps it was the very piece that I had failed to notice in my life all along.
4. What did the author use to view jigsaw puzzling as
A.A popular time killer. B.A childish recreation.
C.A refreshing comfort. D.A handy stress reliever.
5. What does the underlined part “a dopamine hit” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.A sudden wave of regret. B.A brief sense of relief.
C.A quick feeling of pleasure. D.A deep state of anticipation.
6. Which aspect of puzzling does the author favor most
A.It is calming. B.It is screen-free.
C.It is educational. D.It is user-friendly.
7. What is the best title for the passage
A.The Missing Piece of My Life. B.The Journey of Going Puzzle-free.
C.A Piece of Childhood Memory. D.An Unforgettable Rainy Afternoon.
C
In the blink of an eye, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly entered every walk of life, from self-driving taxis to software that reads X-rays, to virtual assistants that can schedule meetings and draft e-mails. However, will AI displace entire industries as mechanized factories did before
Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly. But techno-pessimists argue AI’s impact has never been seen before. Economists estimate AI could rob 40% of jobs, with machines replacing much skilled human work and note that even remaining jobs may see declining wages due to reduced labor value. Amid these worries, 2024 Nobel Prize-winning economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson advise learning from David Ricardo’s flexible thinking about the early Industrial Revolution.
In his work Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, Ricardo initially supported new spinning machines, believing they would promote productivity for all. Though home spinners were displaced, many shifted to weaving. However, technology changed everything: one machine outperformed 10-20 handweavers, ending cottage industry. Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view. His 1821 revised work acknowledged that factors boosting national income might also make population extra resources and worsen laborers’ conditions.
England eventually learned from the struggles of handweavers and the working class. The government expanded political representation for industrial cities, passed the 1833 Factory Act to manage child labor, and ended the protectionist Corn Laws in the 1840s to lower food costs.
The history repeats today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.” With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future. When technology is guided by wisdom and responsibility, it can become a powerful tool that lifts people up, reduces inequality, and brings greater opportunities to all.
8. Which question can paragraph 2 answer
A.How is AI to affect the work settings
B.Why has technology replaced human work
C.Who suffered most from the Industrial Revolution
D.What did cloth-making machines bring to workers
9. Why did David Ricardo change his attitude
A.The closure of cottage industry. B.The appearance of spinning and weaving.
C.The indifference of the government. D.The suffering of workers and the society.
10. What lesson can be learned from the text
A.Every step forward is progress. B.Technology makes the complex simple.
C.History is where you find the future. D.With great power comes great responsibility.
11. What might be talked about following the last paragraph
A.Details of David Ricardo’s theories. B.Policy examples for guiding AI.
C.The introduction of the Internet boom. D.The development of AI technology.
D
Tiny House Shadow, a 365-square-foot sustainable tiny house, stands in Lohja as a response to modern day climate and population challenges. Designed by Matti Kuittinen, an architect professor at Aalto University, it is an exercise in what future building might look like.
“We need to reduce emissions from the building sector by 80-90%, and build almost 2 billion new homes by the end of the century,” warns Kuittinen. “These two goals are contradictory, which is why we need to consider totally different housing and construction solutions.” After years of research into these issues, Kuittinen has collaborated with construction companies to build his idealized sustainable structure.
Tiny House Shadow is entirely mobile and can be taken apart. It is the first of its kind to feature a specialized decarbonated steel in its exterior. Sustainable materials define the interior as well, with the floors made from recycled plastic, the ceilings from old tires and the windows from old buildings. In fact, the house uses 56% recycled materials across its entire build, this alone reducing its footprint by 53%.
Just by living in a home that is smaller — and less energy-consuming in both design and day-to-day consumption — people will live a more sustainable life. In the case of Tiny House Shadow which considers everyday functions and needs versus wants, each resident reduces his or her carbon footprint greatly compared to life in a conventional house. Through the architecture and the lifestyle it promotes, Tiny House Shadow re-images what our residential space could be without the unnecessary waste we’re used to.
But that being said, spending time in Kuittinen’s design doesn’t mean roughing it. “Living in a tiny house doesn’t necessarily mean giving up comfort,” Kuittinen said. Inside, it can be transformed according to use, thanks to movable partitions and space-saving rooms separated by sliding doors and other mechanisms.
Regularly exhibited as a sample at construction fairs, Tiny House Shadow has made a remarkable entrance on the market. Kuittinen hopes it can be a demonstration of low-emission, resource-efficient single-family housing for the modern age.
12. What is the core reason for Kuittinen’s design
A.To trade space for sustainability. B.To stay true to his longtime ideals.
C.To balance emission cut and housing. D.To create a cheaper alternative to flats.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Shadow
A.Its building process. B.Its spacious layout.
C.Its commercial value. D.Its sustainable design.
14. What living philosophy is embodied in Tiny House Shadow
A.Idealism. B.Minimalism. C.Materialism. D.Optimism.
15. What is Kuittinen’s expectation of Tiny House Shadow
A.Serving as a building model. B.Entering the market quickly.
C.Attracting sufficient funding. D.Winning prizes at building fairs.

When I sat in the sun one afternoon, it was noisy outside. The industrious buzz of bees in cherry flowers was annoying, accompanied by “back off” warning chirps from blackbirds nesting in the tree. 16 A mini-digger was tearing apart the neighboring garden, sending out a deep, continuous roar.
They started with the hedge (树篱) — I thought that was all they were going to do, because it happened around here a lot. 17 The first was proudly pointed out to me by the owner; the second I only saw in the aftermath. But this time they had bigger plans. When the hedge was out, they kept clearing away bushes, plants and trees. 18
Aren’t we supposed to be a nation of garden lovers It doesn’t feel like it. 19 Paved (铺砌的) driveways have covered what were plots of wild vegetation. And it’s happening almost everywhere. People have their reasons and it’s none of my bleeding-heart business, but I just can’t stop feeling worried.
I know people are busy and gardening may feel burdensome. But for anyone who has a corner of outside space, if they can’t do something, at least they can do nothing. Nothing might be the best thing of all, actually, as long as they don’t destroy it. 20 Wild grass and flowers feed insects and birds; insects lay eggs in plants; birds line nests in trees... Over time, the negative space where people don’t garden can be precisely where the ordinary magic of life happens.
A.Gardens can evolve in their own way.
B.There was another noise too, though.
C.Gardens are almost as diverse as a rainforest.
D.I couldn’t remember exactly the similar happenings.
E.It was the third case I had spotted in a matter of weeks.
F.By evening, what had once been a garden was no more.
G.Every year, a handful of front gardens get concreted over here.

Back in 2001, Diane Charles was taking a morning walk along a beach when something unusual caught her eye. A 21 covered in seagrass was rolling in the waves. Curious, she picked it up and found a note inside, written in Spanish. With help from locals, she tried to 22 the message. Eventually, a scholar helped decode it, which roughly read, “Life has taught me all is 23 , and that receiving love and success is second to this.” The most important clues were a name, a Colombian address, and a fax number.
These details 24 Charles to Erika Boyero, a woman from Colombia who had thrown the bottle into the sea four years earlier on a cruise ship near Norway. In 1997, looking for something fun to do, Boyero wrote several notes, 25 them in empty bottles, and threw them overboard. Then she forgot all about them.
Years later, her father surprised her with 26 news. “Hey, you received a fax from Australia,” he told her. Boyero was stunned, but eventually it 27 — the bottles. “There are so many millions of people in the world,” she said. “… and when 28 shows a person you have to meet in this life… it is beautiful.”
What started as a mysterious ocean message soon turned into a long-distance 29 . For the next 25 years, Charles and Boyero stayed in touch, 30 life updates and milestones. Recently, Boyero called Charles with an idea: she wanted to fly to Tasmania so they could finally meet in person.
When Boyero arrived, Charles said their reunion felt 31 . Once she walked into the terminal, the two 32 like “long lost friends”. The following morning, they walked together along the same beach where the bottle had been 33 ashore all those years ago.
Looking back, Boyero says the early translation of her message wasn’t far from what she 34 wrote. “Life has taught me all is possible,” she said. “I wish you good fortune wherever you are.” And thanks to a bottle 35 across the ocean, those words ended up connecting two people half a world apart.
21. A.note B.bottle C.ship D.message

Ten-year-old Tom always felt lonely. His parents were always occupied with work. They left home early in the morning and came back late at night. Tom often ate dinner alone and went to bed without a goodnight kiss. For him, there were no family games, no city tours, no weekend outings.
One day, Tom's parents brought home a gift—a smart watch. "This watch has a special friend inside,” Mom said with a smile. "Her name is Ling. She can talk to you, answer your questions, and even tell you stories.” A wave of anticipation swept over Tom as he put on the watch and pressed the button. A gentle voice came out, "Hello, Tom! I'm Ling. Nice to meet you!” Tom's eyes lit up. He had never received such an interesting gift before.
From that day on, Ling became Tom's closest companion. Every morning, Ling would say, "Good morning, Tom! Have a great day at school!” Whenever Tom encountered difficulties with his homework, Ling would patiently provide thorough explanations. After Tom got into bed, Ling would tell his favorite tales about brave knights and magical lands. Sometimes, when Tom felt scared of the dark, Ling would sing softly to comfort him. To Tom, Ling was more than a voice; she was family.
His parents noticed Tom's change. "See Our little boy seems much happier now,” Dad said one evening. Mom agreed, "The watch really helps,” relieved. They thought their son was no longer lonely. What they didn't know was that sometimes, after Ling had finished her stories, Tom would lie awake in the darkness, listening to the silence that filled the room. He loved Ling, but he couldn't help thinking: if only Mom and Dad were here.
One afternoon after school, Tom tripped and fell on the way home. The watch hit a rock with a loud crack. When Tom picked it up, the screen was dark. He pressed the button again and again, but nothing appeared. "Ling Ling, are you there ” he called desperately. There was no reply.
Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help.

At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed.

Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. Holding the broken watch tightly, he told them what had happened, voice filled with sadness. He explained how Ling had kept him company every day, helped with his study and chased away his fear of the dark. With eyes wet, he admitted that deep down, he still longed for their company more than anything else. His parents fell silent after hearing his heartfelt words.
At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. They realized no machine could replace parents' true love and company. They apologized sincerely to Tom and promised to spend more time with him from then on. Afterwards, they fixed the watch together. Every night, the whole family chat and play games happily. Tom finally got the real warmth and joy he had been longing for all along.
