The light is pouring through the windows as I stare attentively at a violin-shaped piece of wood in my hands. I run my fingertips over the rough surface to feel for imperfections that will need to be removed. “Violin making is easy,” my teacher used to joke, “just take away all the bits of wood that aren’t a violin.”
By the time I’m in my workshop holding this piece of wood, I’ve already been up for many hours. I’m an early riser. After coffee, I head out for an hour-long walk with my dog, Eggs. Most of my ideas come to me during morning walks, including my proudest project to date: a violin I made for a film supporting the Right to Roam campaign, which advocates for public access to the countryside in the landscape. The violin has become the community’s shared treasure for local folk players to take into the hills and play.
I love walking into my workshop in the morning. My work varies from small adjustments to more extensive work requiring a careful handling of the violin as a historical object. You never know what you’ll find inside an old violin. One of my favorite repairs involved a violin full of cracks. When I removed the front of it, I found its inside filled with pencil signatures from makers of the past. One read, in beautiful old calligraphic writing: “Le Petit Luthier à Paris, 1825”.
Although many heritage crafts, like violin making, play a vital role in cultural economy, they’re usually not big money earners. My choice of job also informs my lifestyle. While my friends devote time to travel and spend money on luxuries, I invest my time in community, nature, and my growth as a craftsperson. I didn’t truly find my way to those things, or realize how much fulfilling they are, until I began working as a violin maker.
4. What’s required to be a violin maker
A．Good sense of humor.
B．Keen eyes and sensitive touch.
C．Good knowledge of technology.
D．Rich experience in cutting wood.
5. Why does the author value the film project so much
A．It is for public welfare.
B．It is loved by the folk players.
C．It is highly ranked by experts.
D．It was shown in a famous film.
6. What impressed the author most about the old violin she repaired
A．The fine skill it showed.
B．The person who crafted it.
C．Traces of history it carried.
D．Severe damage it suffered.
7. What does the author want to convey through his story
A．Love will find a way.
B．Still water runs deep.
C．Actions speak louder than words.
D．The best things in life are not material.
C
We know sleep quality is important for good health, that adolescence (青少年时期) is an important time for brain development, and that teens don’t always get a huge amount of sleep — and new research gives us some fresh understanding of how that all fits together.
Researchers used data from 3,222 adolescents aged 9 to 14. They divided them into three groups based on sleep habits: the worst (averaging 7 hours and 10 minutes per night), the best (7 hours and 25 minutes), and those in between (7 hours and 21 minutes). While there wasn’t much difference between these groups in terms of academic achievement, the best sleepers showed noticeable improvements in cognitive (认知的) tests for reading, problem solving, and focus, compared to the worst sleepers. “Even though the differences in the amount of sleep that each group got were relatively small, at just over a quarter-of-an-hour between the best and worst sleepers, we could still see differences in brain structure and activity and in how well they did at tasks,” says clinical neuropsychologist Barbara Sahakian from the University of Cambridge. “This shows us just how important it is to have a good night’s sleep at this important stage in life.”
The group of young people who slept the longest per night was also observed to have the largest brain volumes, the lowest heart rates, and the highest levels of brain connectivity, compared to the other groups. Worryingly, 39% of the young people had the poorest sleep data, 24% were in the middle group, and 37% had the best sleep scores.
The research can’t prove cause and effect between sleep and brain function, but together with other studies, it shows that young brains need sleep protection. Psychologist Qing Ma said there are studies supporting the idea that better sleep may lead to better brain function and test performance. This study reminds teens and parents to reduce time on mobile devices. Regular good sleep helps us function properly, yet we know little about adolescent sleep despite its importance.
8. What does the research aim to do
A．Measure heart rate differences in teenagers.
B．Analyze the effects of sleep habits on good health.
C．Investigate sleep-brain relationships in adolescents.
D．Compare academic achievements among adolescents.
9. What can be inferred about the “best sleepers” from Paragraph 2
A．They had the lowest heart rates.
B．They performed better in cognition.
C．They had better academic performance.
D．They spent significantly more time sleeping.
10. Why are the percentages listed in Paragraph 3
A．To compare sleep habits.
B．To draw attention to the sleep problem.
C．To explain the study’s sample size.
D．To challenge previous research findings.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Longer sleep betters academic achievement.
B．Sleep habits are well-understood in current research.
C．Protecting sleep during adolescence may require practical changes.
D．Reducing screen time is likely unnecessary to improve sleep quality.
D
Music is a powerful, evidence-based tool for promoting mental health. As one of the most accessible ways to regulate our mental state, it is often underestimated for in its potential. It is time to accept the healing power of music not only in clinical settings, but also in daily life.
We know music can stir emotions, ease nerves and make us cry. But research reveals it can also change the content of our thoughts. In a 2019 study, participants listened to heroic or sad music while their minds wandered. Uplifting music set off energizing and constructive thoughts, while sad music aroused calmer or more demotivating ones.
Our minds frequently wander, with daydreaming occupying nearly half of our waking time. Even pleasant thoughts rarely improve mood significantly. Why Because the brain’s default mode network (DMN) supporting imagination, memory and reflection often causes repeated and negative thought circles.
Recent studies indicate that negative daydreams, especially when accompanied by sad music, engage the brain’s pain network and the DMN. Certain brain regions help regulate this link. Unsettling thoughts not only cause mental discomfort but also activate the same brain regions responsible for physical pain.
Fortunately, the DMN has a natural counterpart: the control network, supporting focus and goal-directed behaviour. These two systems are anti-correlated, meaning when one is active, the other quiets down. Music, especially when we engage actively can shift us into this adaptive mode, interrupting negative cycles and providing a cognitive (认知的) “reset”． A 2023 study found that people tapping to music felt less physical pain under pressure than passive listeners, boosting pain-reducing effects to a clinically meaningful degree.
If music can do all this, it needs to be recognised as far more than the lifestyle accessory. Music should be integrated into schools, public health strategies, and daily routines. And music education should be seen as a way to care for the brain and social medicine. Next time your stress begins to bite, try to turn to music instead of the news. Your brain and society might thank you.
12. What did the 2019 study primarily find
A．Music can transform thoughts.
B．Sad music improves concentration.
C．Heroic music reduces physical pain.
D．Music types affect emotional responses.
13. What can be inferred about the effect of the DMN
A．It facilitates deep thoughts.
B．It generates depressing phases.
C．It stops musical intervention.
D．It controls physical pain networks.
14. What does the underlined word “counterpart” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Function.
B．Product.
C．Match.
D．Programme.
15. What can we learn about music from the last paragraph
A．It should be used in technology.
B．It requires more scientific research.
C．It can replace clinical treatments.
D．It deserves broader social application.
二、七选五
Pickleball: A Fastest-Growing Sport
Ready to learn how to play pickleball You’re not alone. ___16___ The International Federation of Pickleball is working to make sure pickleball will be part of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
___17___ It is played on a badminton-sized court with a net height of 36", using square paddles and a plastic ball similar in size to a tennis ball. The 7-foot area on each side of the net is called “kitchen”, where players aren’t allowed to hit volleys (a shot hit out of the air).
Unlike tennis, you can score only when it’s your turn to serve-hitting the ball diagonally (成对角线) to the receiver. It’s not meant to be an overpowering weapon like in tennis. ___18___ And if your receiver fails to return the ball over the net, either from the serve or in a rally (对抗), you get the point.
What is the two-bounce rule in pickleball It means that after a serve, the ball must bounce once on each side before anyone can hit it out of the air. ___19___ If you’re standing close to the net, you can’t legally hit it out of the air because you can only volley once the ball has bounced on each side. Once the two-bounce rule is met, all players are free to move to the kitchen and start volleying.
The game continues until one team gets 11 points. However, they must win by 2. That means 10-10 isn’t over; 11-10 isn’t over. You might see final scores of 12-10, 15-13, or even 21-19. ___20___
A．The sport is tons of fun.
B．These are often the most exciting games.
C．Otherwise, the serving team gains an advantage.
D．Instead, the goal is simply to keep the ball in the air.
E．Pickleball borrows from tennis, badminton and table tennis.
F．That’s why it makes no sense for the serving team to start at the kitchen.
G．Pickleball has more than five million players across 84 countries to date.
