For most of my life, I treated taste as fixed. There were things I liked and things I didn’t, and that was that.
Sticking to that belief had left me in a bit of a standstill. I stopped making time for new hobbies or trying anything new. Salsa lessons No, thanks. Interactive theatre Not for me. But my automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same routine of work, sleep, eating, and that left me feeling listless and a little empty.
So, in an effort to break the boredom, I began to question whether my taste was fixed at all, or whether it might be something I could train. I had read that children need 8 to 15 tries to accept a new food. Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults
I started small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the urge to dismiss it, despite my longstanding dislike of reading due to dyslexia (阅读障碍症). But I went anyway. I listened to the first book on audio book and, to my surprise, enjoyed the discussion and the people. Now I spend mornings reading. Then came music and performance: jazz clubs, line dancing, contemporary performance — all things I had previously ignored.
Trying things you thought you wouldn’t enjoy, I found, became oddly addictive. I didn’t love everything straight away, but I stopped saying no before I had even begun. Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Honestly, there was nothing quite like being wiped off the board by someone who had been playing since before your parents met. I felt more of a connection with others there than at any organized twenty-something social event I’ve attended.
Putting “try something new” in my diary once a week broke up the work-commute-collapse cycle I had accidentally built my life around. Now I simply count to five, approach the friendliest-looking person with a “hello”, and any initial awkwardness quickly fades. Next week Who knows. Maybe magic lessons. Maybe life drawing. Maybe both.

Nowadays, the thought that a child’s behavior can be bad — mean, greedy, selfish — is often considered unacceptable especially in the rich and democratic West. Children are treated as a unique category, almost a species apart from adults. This appears in the popular “every child is different” belief, which discourages judging or correcting children so as to honor their uniqueness.
One explanation for this is the tendency to view children’s emotions as purely physiological releases of stress, beyond moral evaluation. Brain-body parenting, for instance, argues that young children lack the neural wiring for self-control and therefore should not be expected to regulate their behavior. Parents are urged not to correct wrongdoing but simply to narrate emotions — “You’re feeling very angry right now.”
But human emotions are inseparable from understanding: Fear reflects a sense of threat, disappointment signals unmet expectations; jealousy implies perceiving another as a rival. Meaning shapes feeling, even in toddlers. Merely labeling a child’s anger without explaining when anger is appropriate or how it may harm others deprives them of an understanding of what they are feeling.
The psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion explained in Learning from Experience (1962) that when parents interpret and respond to a baby’s behavior, they transform raw sense experiences into meaningful thoughts. Moral and emotional understanding — knowing justified anger, practicing restraint, respecting others — does not suddenly appear in adulthood. It develops gradually, long before children are able to grasp or express such ideas clearly, as parents offer forms of understanding to their children from the very beginning. As Bion put it, “just as we do not hold back from speaking to little babies because of the worry that they are unable to use words, so we should not hold back from initiating kids to our understanding of what counts as good and bad behavior.”
The idea that a parent can remain neutral toward their child’s behaviour is at best naive and at worst dangerous. The deeper question parents need to ask is: Who do we want our toddlers to become Unless we begin with a vision of the kind of person we hope to raise, we will always be chasing the latest parenting trend, or, perhaps, our child’s every mood.
8. How would parents usually respond to children’s misbehavior in the West
A．They try to categorize all their mistakes.
B．They point out and punish it immediately.
C．They judge it by moral standards of adults.
D．They forgive it to ensure kids’ individuality.
9. What does the author think of the brain-body parenting
A．It overlooks the role of understanding in emotions.
B．It is a practical solution to reduce children’s stress.
C．It helps parents handle children’s negative moods.
D．It highlights the biological basis of kids’ misbehavior.
10. What can we learn about moral education according to Wilfred Bion
A．Kids know nothing about moral rules.
B．Language and morals develop hand in hand.
C．Moral rules should be nurtured from early ages.
D．Children’s abilities mature when they grow up.
11. What does the author advise parents to do in the last paragraph
A．Follow new parenting trends closely.
B．Set clear aims for their child’s growth.
C．Stay neutral about their child’s behavior.
D．Let moods guide their parenting choices.

The toy industry is pushing forward with AI chatbots built into stuffed animals and mini robots. These toys are flexible enough to conduct limited conversations with children and to respond to them just as they finish talking. Are these interactions enough to provide the “personalized education” one company claimed Will toys like Curio’s Grem help or harm children’s language development
The more language that is addressed to children, the bigger their vocabulary will be. But these vocabulary words are not learned because they were spoken out of context, as current AI-infused toys do, but from caregivers who make the words come alive. Research shows that chatbot talk is unlikely to improve young children’s language outcomes. In fact, if allowed to replace conversations with caregivers, these toys may impede children’s language learning.
When a caregiver describes something that a child is interested in, children can learn its name. A chatbot is less able to teach children about their environments because it cannot see and describe a toy the child is holding. Even if it could see, it does not have prior knowledge about the toys a child owns. Language skills do not grow from simply hearing lots of words — they grow from hearing words in conversations that capture the child’s attention.
Finally, children are also seeking further information about the sounds of their language. The caregivers’ repetition of the word emphasizes its name while also giving the child more information about the sound of the word. If the child mispronounces the word, the caregiver will likely emphasize the correct pronunciation. Commercially available chatbots can’t reliably do this.
Quality language expands on what toddlers (学步的儿童) know, takes the child’s perspective and past history into consideration, and responds to children’s questions. We have seen some work that shows social robots can help preschool children learn vocabulary, and that conversational agents who ask older children to respond to educational television programs can help children learn. However, we need more research to know the effects these robots have on babies’ and toddlers’ language learning. Until that happens, we believe that the humans in toddlers’ lives are responsible for conducting the conversations that grow children’s language. As a researcher and his teammates state, “Our babies shouldn’t be lab mice for toy companies.”

A．To point out a problem.
B．To present a phenomenon.

D．To introduce the topic.
13. What does the underlined word “impede” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Prevent.
B．Facilitate.
C．Secure.
D．Maintain.
14. What can a caregiver do to help children learn a language
A．Provide interaction in context.
B．Emphasize their names.
C．Weaken their attention.
D．Repeat grammar rules.
15. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A．Is It Necessary to Interact with Caregivers
B．Will AI-Powered Toys Be a New Toy Trend
C．Are Caregivers the Secret to Kids’ Overall Development

No More Chicken Wings, Please!
Could I eat another bite I scanned the passenger seat of my car, piled with takeaway chicken wings. Being overfull was a familiar feeling as a food critic, but maybe I’d simply reached the end of the road.
Six years earlier, I’d been thrilled to land this job. Driving hundreds of miles weekly, I sometimes ate out 4-5 times a day as I pursued stories, unearthing under-the-radar places, dishes and people. 16 . “Wait! You get paid to eat What a hard life! You have my dream job,” they’d say.
Outwardly, it was a dream, and complaining seemed ungracious. So, I rarely told anyone that the work was not all peaches and cream. I rushed from plate to plate, deadline to deadline, postponing medical appointments. 17 . “I’d like to see that number a little lower,” said my doctor as she studied my soaring cholesterol. “I know, but I can’t control what I eat,” I told her.
Some food writers had mastered the art of taking one bite of everything, but I’d finish dishes I loved. I watched my weight tick upward, and workouts had minimal effect. The occasional case of food poisoning was a job hazard, yet long-term over consumption took the real toll. One day, my doctor squinted at the screen. “Well,” she warned. “it looks like you’re pre-diabetic.” 18 . I processed this news while tucking into fish tacos down the street. I couldn’t just not eat the tacos, could I I hung on for another year but started daydreaming about home cooking. 19 .
“My time at the paper has come to an end,” I told my boss from my car. “Are you sure ” she leaned forward. Yes, I was. 20 . It took months to retrain my colossal appetite, but I hoped those months would earn me extra years. Nine months on — though missing a regular paycheck - I’ve reversed weight gain, and my blood sugar is fine. The biggest surprise Stress reduction reversed aging. “You look so different,” friends say. “You just look...relaxed.”
A．OK, so my blood sugar level was now a cause of concern as well.
B．I felt as if an enormous weight had instantly dropped off my mind.
C．It was six orders of wings in a single afternoon that finally did me in.
D．The constant deadlines left me with no time for hobbies or personal life.
E．Whenever someone asked what I did for a living, their eyes lit up at the response.
F．On the odd occasion I made it to the doctor, my blood levels told an alarming story.
G．People often asked me if I could recommend a good restaurant for their special occasions.

I’d always loved the coast, but my visit to the abandoned lighthouse changed me. It started when I 21 a sun-faded flyer at a cafe: “Restore Old Point Lighthouse — volunteers needed.” Tired of a troubled career, I longed for 22 from my chaotic routine.
At dawn, the coordinator handed me a rusty hammer. “Fix the railings,” she said. Salt-covered metal tested my strength; each swing was a 23 against my frustration. By midday, my arms ached, but I noticed a teen beside me struggling with a nail. I knelt to help: her 24 — a quick smile — felt like a small victory.
We repainted the railings and shared stories. A retired sailor said the lighthouse 25 ships through stormy dark: “It didn’t just glow — it gave 26 .” The words stayed with me. When we finished the final 27 — hanging a new lantern — we climbed to the top as the sun gilded the waves.
I realized the lighthouse wasn’t just a structure; it was a 28 of hope. My own troubles felt smaller, like waves crashing harmlessly against rock. On the drive home, I stopped at a bookstore and bought a guide to lighthouse history — a 29 to keep rebuilding, even when things feel hopeless.
Months later, I returned. A girl pointed: “This kept my great-grandpa safe.” In that breath, I realized small acts could 30 light for others. It is about being light, even when you feel 31 yourself.
The lighthouse taught me a 32 : restoration is piecing back parts of ourselves we’ve set aside. When 33 come, I think of that hammer — one swing, 34 with others, can 35 what is worn into something whole.

In 1991, when Elena Pantaleoni first walked into La Stoppa, 36 historic wine factory founded in the late 1800s and set among the rolling hills of northern Italy, she felt an immediate responsibility to the land. “My role was not to impose a new vision; the inspiration came from understanding that this place already possessed everything it needed — character, strength and a clear voice — and my task was 37 (simple) to align the work with that truth,” she recalls.
She dedicated herself with all her heart 38 organic farming and eliminated synthetic chemicals, believing that respecting the life of the soil was inseparable from respecting the people 39 (connect) to it. To her, wine is culture, ethics and the expression of agricultural labor. “It is not merely a drink but a way of life, built on respect for the land, alignment with the seasons, 40 the preservation of farming traditions,” she says.
Over the decades, Pantaleoni 41 (witness) a shift in the winemaking world: women entering the field on their own terms. “Today, women are visible, respected and increasingly 42 (influence),” she says. For the next generation of female winemakers, her guidance is simple: stay close to the vineyard. “If you understand that wine is a medium through 43 we can express culture, then your work will find its direction.”
Pantaleoni sees a shared sensibility between Italy’s wine traditions and China’s long agricultural heritage. “We both guide nature with a patient hand, whether crafting wine or tea, understanding that true quality cannot 44 (rush).” Her wines, she says, are meant to speak honestly of their origins; something she hopes resonates with Chinese drinkers. “If guests in China can taste the 45 (honest), if they can sense the landscape behind the glass — the agricultural work, the seasons, the long patience of the wine’s aging in the cellar — then the wine has fulfilled its purpose.”

My husband’s company promoted him and relocated us to New York City. We found a safe, affordable place to live. Once we got settled in, I was determined to find employment. After a few days of searching and applying, I was fortunate to find a job as an administrative assistant with Young & Rubicam, a famous advertising agency. I wasn’t thrilled about the job because I had graduated with a degree to teach English, but the pay was good, and the extra money was a blessing.
The job was rather dull, though, mainly typing letters, answering phones, setting up for conferences, filing, scheduling meetings, arranging travel for the copywriters (撰稿人), etc. I felt that what I was doing was insignificant. As letters or travel brochures would come across my desk to be typed, I would read over them. Often, there were grammatical errors or the spelling was not always accurate, but since it wasn’t my job to correct them, I typed them as they were given to me.
One day, I was talking to my grandmother, LouOlive Graham. Anyone not related to her called her Lou. Everybody else, including all twelve of her children and fifteen grandchildren, called her “Muh”. Muh was a wise woman lady. Her children adored and admired her. There was nothing better than to spend a day with Muh, which meant you were going to hear fascinating stories about her growing up, while savoring her tea and cakes.
Over tea, I said, “Muh, you should see the things that come across my desk — letters, memos, and brochures with crazy grammar, poor spelling, and awkward sentences. But I guess it’s not my job to correct them.” Then, I added that I only did what they paid me to do.
Muh listened attentively, as she always did, and after I finished, she said very calmly, “Honey, don’t just do enough to get by. Always do your best work. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. You may find more enjoyment in the job if you do your best. Plus, it never hurts you to let people know that you can do more than what they hired you to do.”
I thought long and hard about what she said.________________________________________________________________

I thought long and hard about what she said. Her words struck a chord deep inside me. From that day on, I made up my mind to do my work wholeheartedly. Whenever I spotted mistakes in documents, I carefully corrected them without hesitation. I also tried my best to polish sentences to make them more fluent. Gradually, my work stood out and my colleagues and leaders began to notice my carefulness and professional ability.
The next year, a position became available for an assistant copywriter. I decided to apply for it. Thanks to my consistent efforts and solid English skills, I got the position easily. I was overjoyed and realized that grandma’s advice was truly valuable. Doing more than required not only brings you happiness but also creates more opportunities for your future.
