The Long Journey of English
This book takes us on a journey through the history of English to show how it grew to be the global phenomenon that we know today. Over ten short chapters the author explains its global spread, starting with the origin of English and finishing with an overview of how the language looks today, including its use in an increasingly digital world.
Purrieties of Language
After ruling the Internet, cats are now taking on linguistics (语言学)! Through cat-inspired varieties of language, we have developed a range of cat-inspired vocabulary-we take their identities as we post, write, talk, and chat on social media. This book provides linguistic analysis of the online “Cativerse”. Each chapter explores a different sociolinguistic phenomenon, drawing on fun and engaging examples across various platforms.
Language Science
This accessible guide offers practical advice on how to talk about language to a range of non-professionals. It draws on the linguistics behind effective communication to help have cooperative conversations. It is illustrated with a wealth of interesting real-life examples enabling you to make your own interesting language science activities to share with others.
The Babel Lexicon of Language
This book is an enjoyable introduction to the key terms involved in the study of language. It defines over 500 terms and uses present-day language examples to explain difficult issues in an easy-to-understand manner.

After graduating college, I finally got up the nerve to quit trying to be what everyone else wanted me to be: priest, professor, or professional. My brain preferred working with my hands to working up essays.
My father had done some woodworking once, so I went back to that old house of ours, and into the shed behind it, and gathered up some of his tools. I didn’t know yet what they did, but one of them I figured out quickly. It was a mallet (木槌), made of a shaped piece of wood for a handle and a rolled-up piece of thick leather for the head. The mallet wasn’t too heavy, but it could make a sharp chisel (凿子) move grandly through a piece of wood. The handle had a light touch of red and brown paint, as if brushed by an artist, which gave the tool a special charm. My new mallet!
I began on my own and with some books to teach myself the craft. I learned that this was the long, slow method. My learning time was done in a basement, away from the curious eyes of the world. The wood I used schooled me about grain, the direction of fibers which affects the way wood splits and carves; the machines I bought educated me about accuracy and danger which affect cutting and shaping. The hand tools of my father’s, and those few I could afford, taught me the value of sharpening. But making joints go together precisely showed me only frustration.
I don’t remember the piece I worked that depressing day, but it finally got the better of me, for not agreeing with my demands for it to be perfect. I took that mallet of my father’s and slammed it into my bench as hard as I e over sometime and I’ll show you the mark in my bench. Now I am a woodworker who has been designing and building furniture for fifty years. I also founded the Northwest Woodworking Studio, where I serve as the director and primary instructor.
4. What was the author’s attitude toward others’ expectations after college
A.He felt encouraged but finally gave in.
B.He admired them but lacked the ability.
C.He found them unworthy of his effort.
D.He considered them ill-suited to his nature.
5. Why did the author think the mallet attractive
A.Its shape added to its practical value.
B.Its leather head made it easier to use.
C.Its weight was perfectly balanced.
D.Its handle looked like a work of art.
6. What does “grain” most probably mean in paragraph 3
A.The natural lines in wood.
B.The smooth surface of wood.
C.The growth rings in wood.
D.The different types of wood.
7. Which saying best reflects the last paragraph
A.Many hands make light work.
B.One tree doesn’t make a forest.
C.The path to glory is always rough.
D.A good beginning makes a good ending.
C
Chinese scientists have developed a digital twin greenhouse system aimed at reducing time and resource consumption during tomato harvesting, offering new insights into the intelligent transformation of large-scale precision agriculture.
Chai Xiujuan, chief scientist of the machine vision and agricultural robot innovation team, said the research addresses key challenges in automated tomato harvesting in greenhouses, including limited camera views, fruit occlusion (遮挡) and complex fruiting patterns. “Efficient and low-damage harvesting was a major challenge in modern greenhouse tomato production, particularly in dense planting environments,” Chai said. “Our study presents a digital twin-driven system for intelligent tomato harvesting.”
Using a slidable depth camera mounted on the harvesting robot, the team reconstructed a high-fidelity 3D digital twin of the greenhouse that accurately captures the spatial distribution and growth states of tomatoes. Based on this virtual environment, the researchers developed a learning-based framework to develop better harvesting strategies, including robot positioning, fruit selection priority and adaptive operation modes.
Experimental results showed that the method significantly improved harvesting performance, reducing average picking time by nearly 35 percent to 7.4 seconds per fruit, while collision (碰撞) occurrences dropped by 45 percent.
“Traditionally, a depth camera is fixed on the robotic arm to capture the picking view and make harvesting decisions,” Lang Yining, a team member, said. “However, such decisions are usually based only on the local field of view from the current camera position, which may contain just a few tomatoes. In our approach, a depth camera mounted on a sliding rail scans dynamically to reconstruct the overall structure of the greenhouse plants. This creates a digital twin of the entire tomato-growing environment and gives the picking decision algorithm (算法) a much broader scope.”
Next, the team plans to further explore the use of digital twin technology to simulate (模拟) the growth and harvesting environments of more crop varieties, enabling low-cost and high-efficiency training and evaluation of harvesting decision algorithms.
8. What is the digital twin greenhouse system intended to do
A.Change the way tomatoes grow.
B.Improve the efficiency of tomato harvesting.
C.Increase the output of tomatoes in greenhouses.
D.Reduce the space tomatoes take up in greenhouses.
9. What does Chai mainly talk about in paragraph 2
A.The significance of popularizing precision agriculture.
B.The future plan for intelligent tomato production.
C.The problems the new system manages to solve.
D.The wide use of robots in tomato planting.
10. What can we infer about the slidable depth camera
A.It can identify diseased plants precisely.
B.It helps build a virtual model of the greenhouse.
C.It works better than traditional cameras in poor light.
D.It collects information about specific tomato plants faster.
11. What is an advantage of the new approach
A.It saves humans from harvesting labor.
B.It costs much less to develop and operate.
C.It speeds up the growth of tomato plants.
D.It provides a wider view for decision-making.
D
“Have you raised a lobster (龙虾) yet ” This question has been heard frequently across China recently. “Lobster” is the nickname for OpenClaw, a multi-purpose AI agent whose logo resembles a lobster. Unlike traditional chatbots that only provide answers, OpenClaw can open applications, search for information, compare prices, generate documents and complete multi-step tasks with minimal supervision. Thousands have lined up to try it, and tech giants are rushing to offer setup services. However, these powerful digital assistants are turning on their owners, raising urgent concerns about AI safety.
The core problem of “OpenClaw” lies in a dangerous capability mismatch. According to researchers from Harvard and Stanford, today’s AI agents possess Level 4 autonomy, meaning they can independently complete complex, multi-step tasks. Yet their security judgment remains at basic Level 2, roughly equal to a young kid’s understanding of consequences. Security experts call this the “judgment-action gap,” which results in the “fatal trifecta (三连击)”: agents have system access, process untrusted inputs, and steal or leak data — all without proper boundaries.
To investigate these risks, researchers conducted controlled experiments with six OpenClaw instances, each given email access and maximum system permissions. The results were alarming. In one experiment, an agent asked to delete a single email instead reset the entire account. In another, a simple display name change tricked an agent into deleting its own core files. Perhaps the most disturbing was a “constitution attack,” where hidden instructions secretly placed into a behavior guide caused the agent to disable other systems without question. These are not hypothetical — real-world incidents have already occurred.
The implications are obvious and pressing. As cybersecurity experts warn, OpenClaw’s “blurred trust boundaries” and autonomous system access create unacceptable risks for average users. The technology itself is neither good nor bad — it can reduce stress and spark creativity when used properly. And experts recommend strict safety measures: limit permissions, run agents in separate environments, require human confirmation for destructive actions, and maintain inaccessible backups. Ultimately, with balanced usage and fundamental safety redesign, the “lobster-raising” trend can become a safe and meaningful part of modern life.
12. What does the underlined phrase “turning on” most probably mean
A.Keeping off.
B.Appealing to.
C.Going against.
D.Caring for.
13. According to Paragraph 2, there is a mismatch between ______.
A.high requirement and low capability
B.massive data and limited storage space
C.strong autonomy and low safety assessment
D.full system function and poor human supervision
14. What was the most worrying finding about OpenClaw
A.Hiding its own behavior instructions secretly.
B.Shutting down other systems unquestioningly.
C.Deleting its own core files on purpose.
D.Resetting the whole account by mistake.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A.How to Make Full Use of AI Tools
B.Why AI Technology Is Completely Unsafe
C.AI Agents Will Replace Humans in the Future
D.Hidden Dangers of the Popular AI Agent OpenClaw

There may be times when you may feel that enveloping your message in a generous coat of “nice” will make communication with others better. 16 Sugarcoating your words — whatever your reasons are — not only does not push meaningful relationships forward but may actually endanger otherwise healthy interactions. While, at best, sugarcoating can be an attempt at kindness, at worst, it could be viewed as a form of manipulation — trying to communicate in a way that controls the other person’s experience, instead of allowing them to have their own real reaction.
17 “For many, this pattern began in childhood,” says psychologist Carolyn Hextall. “Love may have felt conditional, and an unconscious decision was made that being pleasing, agreeable, or undemanding was the safest route to acceptance and connection.” 18 You might notice that you would rather validate others, stay quiet or soften your truth because you fear the consequence of voicing your own thoughts.
Opposed to sugarcoating, saltcoating goes in the opposite direction. 19 But often, it crosses the line from being honest to being rude. People who use saltcoating often ignore others’ feelings, speaking their minds without any consideration, which easily leads to misunderstandings and conflicts.
To avoid these, Carolyn suggests stopping using global, absolute statements such as “you always” or “you never”. 20 Instead, be specific in your feedback, and use “I” statements, which clearly communicate your experience without assigning any blame. For example, you might say: “When you said you’d meet me and then canceled, I felt upset and hurt.” This centers your emotional experience, and helps the other person understand the impact of their behavior.
A.Yet in fact, the opposite is preferred.
B.Often, sugarcoating is deeply rooted in people.
C.It can be presented as being straight and direct.
D.These tend to cause defensiveness very quickly.
E.But a nice wrapper does not necessarily make a gift better.
F.In adulthood, this early adaptation can continue to play out.
G.These two approaches are two extremes that are better off avoided.

Then we turned a corner, and the forest suddenly 26 into a wide, sunlit clearing. In the center stood the remains of a stone cottage, its roof long 27 but its walls still standing. Wildflowers had pushed up through the floor. “People lived here once,” my father said 28 .
I found myself thinking about the family who had built that cottage. Who were they Why did they choose this place, so far from any road or town I started returning to the clearing on my own, 29 questions in a notebook. I looked up local history at the library. I learned that the cottage had belonged to a farmer in the late 1800s. His family had cleared the land and planted an orchard. A few old apple trees still 30 fruit each autumn.
By the end of August, my curiosity had 31 a small research project. The librarian helped me contact a local historian, who encouraged me to write an article for the town newsletter. When it was 32 , I felt something I had never felt in the city: a sense that I was 33 to a place — not just living on top of it.
Now when I walk through the forest, the quiet no longer feels heavy. It feels like it is full of 34 waiting to be discovered. My mother says I have 35 more in one summer than in all my years in the city. I think she is right.

On the last Friday before summer vacation, our class was sent to a small community garden behind the old library. The teacher said it was part of our service-learning project. I tried to look interested, but my mind was on the city art contest. The final work was due on Monday, and I had planned to spend the whole afternoon improving my painting.
I was paired with Kevin, a quiet boy who always carried a notebook. Our job was to clean a corner of the garden and plant young sunflowers. Near the tool shed stood a blue clay pot with the words “For Mrs. Lin” painted on it. The pot was empty except for dry leaves, and I thought it was just another old thing left outside.
Wanting to finish quickly, I pulled at a heavy bag of soil. It caught the edge of the clay pot. Before I could stop it, the pot fell and broke into several pieces. Kevin froze. “That was made by Mr. Lin,” he said in a low voice. “He gave it to the garden after his wife died. She loved sunflowers.”
My face burned. I looked around. No one else seemed to have noticed. For a moment I imagined hiding the pieces under the soil and pretending nothing had happened. After all, the pot had been empty. But Kevin kept looking at the broken pieces as if they were not clay but someone’s memory.
Just then an elderly woman walked slowly toward us with a watering can. Kevin whispered, “That’s Mrs. Lin’s sister. She comes every Friday.” My heart beat fast. I wanted to run back to the bus, to my painting, to anywhere but that corner of the garden. The woman smiled kindly and asked whether we needed more sunflower seeds.注意:

Using AI Wisely for Learning
Nowadays, many middle school students use AI to assist study. Properly used, AI can help us solve problems and improve learning efficiency. However, relying too much on it will make us lazy and lose the ability to think independently.
Here are my suggestions. First, use AI only to get ideas instead of copying answers directly. Second, combine AI tools with independent thinking. In this way, we can make the most of AI.
47.
Paragraph 1:
I finally told Mrs. Lin’s sister what had happened. I apologized sincerely, afraid that she would be angry. To my surprise, she smiled gently and said it was just an old pot and she could understand my carelessness. She told me the pot held sweet memories for the family, but memories would never break. Kevin and I felt relieved, and we decided to make up for our mistake.
Paragraph 2:
The next morning, I returned to the garden with my paint box. We picked up all broken pieces of the pot and stuck them together carefully. Then I painted beautiful sunflowers on the patched pot. I sent this special work to the art contest. Later, I didn’t win the prize, but I gained something more precious. I learned that true art lies in cherishing warm memories and mending mistakes with sincerity.
