From a young age, I had difficulty with math. Words and stories were easy for me, but numbers seemed like a different language. My father patiently used pencils to show me problems. However, my mind always focused on the stories behind the numbers. Although he tried to help, he sometimes became frustrated. His critical words about my math skills slowly made me anxious and less confident.
In school, my problems increased. A geometry teacher’s sharp words and my low grades seemed to prove my fears were true. My mother found a tutor, a college student. Even his clear explanations left my mind soon after he was gone. What stayed was a strong fear of math, a feeling many people now call “math anxiety”.
Yet life continued. I got married, raised three sons, and had a teaching career. When I chose to work for a doctoral degree in education, I knew I would need statistics. This time, however, I dealt with it differently. I was not that unsure young girl anymore. I asked for help, joined weekend study groups, and did not let my old fears control me. When the professor asked if I had questions, I smiled and said yes — without feeling shy.
Looking back, I understand the strongest limits were never really mine; they were the echoes of other people’s doubts that I had let grow inside me. I did not become a medical doctor, but I earned a doctorate in a field I love. I managed to be a mother, a teacher, and a graduate student at the same time. This was not because I was naturally excellent at everything, but because I learned to believe in my own ability to learn and improve.
Now that I am older, I see that every challenge helped form who I am. If I could talk to my younger self, I would kindly tell her to trust her own voice earlier. Yet I regret nothing — every step, even the hard ones, led me to a life full of deep satisfaction and happiness.

Many high school students hold the belief that reducing sleep can gain extra time for academic study. They stay up late doing homework, convinced that less sleep brings more success. But cutting sleep destroys the very thing that helps us learn. A recent survey conducted by the National Sleep Foundation indicates that nearly 70% of high school students sleep less than eight hours each night, and most of them are getting worse results at school.
Sleep is the brain’s filing system. What we learn during the day stays only in short-term memory. Only during deep sleep does the brain sort information and turn knowledge into long-term memory. Researchers from Stanford University found that students with 7-9 hours of sleep each night remember 30% more than those who sleep less than six hours. What you study late at night may be lost because your brain cannot store it properly.
Sleep also prepares you for the next day. With enough sleep, your brain is alert and ready to focus. Without it, you feel tired and slow. Scientists have confirmed that people without enough sleep possess 25% lower ability to focus and solve problems, stopping students from staying attentive in class and completing learning tasks efficiently. So less sleep does not give you more time — it makes you waste the time you have.
When you keep missing sleep, the harm grows. You may catch colds more easily. A 10-year study found that people who regularly sleep less than seven hours daily get sick 40% more often. Sleep loss also hurts your feelings: you become angry and worried. This makes learning harder.
Some say that sleep is a symbol of laziness. This is wrong. Think of two students: one studies six hours with sound sleep, while the other studies eight hours while tired. The first one learns more in less time. Sleep is not the enemy of study — it makes study work better.
In conclusion, quality sleep is necessary for learning, health, and happiness. Learn to rest well, and you will learn well.
8. According to the survey in Paragraph 1, what happens to most students
A．Sleep less, perform worse.
B．Study more, achieve more.
C．Study late, feel better.
D．Sleep more, learn less.
9. The underlined phrase “the brain’s filing system” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ______.
A．a tool for communicating between brain cells
B．a process of storing and arranging information
C．a way of increasing short-term memory capacity
D．a method of clearing useless information from the brain
10. According to Paragraph 3, why does less sleep make students waste time
A．Less energy after waking.
B．Longer hours for homework.
C．Daytime sleep in lessons.
D．Poor concentration in class.
11. What can be inferred from the comparison between two students in Paragraph 5
A．Students never study over six hours.
B．Tired students always fail.
C．Quality of study time outweighs quantity.
D．Hard work beats good sleep.

Art has long been seen as a universal language — one that goes beyond cultural boundaries and speaks to human feeling. From cave paintings to great works of the Renaissance, art has served as both a mirror and a creator of civilization. Yet, in an era dominated by digital screens and artificial intelligence, a pressing question emerges: Is the traditional value of art being preserved, or is it quietly disappearing
Historically, art was valued not only for its beauty but also for the human touch behind it. A painting by Van Gogh carried the unmistakable signature of a single mind — its struggles, its unique perspective. Today, however, AI can generate poems, compose music, and even produce paintings. This shift forces a difficult question: Can human creativity be replaced
Critics argue that machines lack genuine emotional intention. A computer may follow rules, but it does not suffer, dream, or seek meaning. As philosopher John Searle noted, syntax — the rules of language — is not the same as semantics, the meaning behind it. A machine can arrange words, but it cannot feel the sorrow behind a blues song.
Defenders offer a different view. They point out that every technological advance was once met with doubt. Photography was initially dismissed as “not real art” because it merely captured reality. Over time, however, it earned its place in museums. Similarly, they argue, AI works should be judged by their impact on the viewer, not by the nature of their creator.
Ultimately, art’s true value may lie not in how it is made, but in what it awakens within us. Whether created by hand or by algorithm, great art moves us because it speaks to something fundamentally human. For us growing up in this digital age, the challenge is not to reject technology but to face it thoughtfully — to tell lifeless imitation from meaningful expression.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph
A．It defines what art is.
B．It introduces a problem.
C．It compares two art forms.
D．It criticizes digital technology.
13. Why does the author mention John Searle in paragraph 3
A．To explain the difference between rules and meaning.
B．To introduce a famous thinker’s theory about language.
C．To prove that AI will never understand human feelings.
D．To support the argument that machines lack true emotion.
14. What can be inferred about photography from paragraph 4
A．It was once rejected by the traditional art world.
B．Its artistic value remains highly controversial.
C．It was the first technology to challenge art.
D．It has become more valuable than painting.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward AI-generated art
A．Supportive
B．Opposed
C．Objective
D．Indifference

On the afternoon of my eighteenth birthday, I was driving my dad’s old car around town, feeling absolutely free and excited. The sun was shining, and everything felt perfect. As I made a turn a bit too quickly, the worst thing happened. There was a loud, sharp sound of metal scraping against metal. My heart jumped into my throat — I had sideswiped a car parked by the pavement.
I stopped the car, my hands shaking on the wheel. I looked around nervously. The street was completely empty; no one had seen the accident. A powerful thought rushed into my head: “Just drive away. No one will ever know.” The car I hit was a beautiful, brand-new Mercedes, and the scratch along its door was long and deep. My own car only had a small bump. Panic filled me. I had worked hard to save money for my first semester’s college books, and I knew that money would be wiped out by this repair. The temptation to escape was overwhelming.
But then, I pictured my dad’s serious face. He had always taught me that taking responsibility for your actions was what defined a person. With a heart that felt like a heavy stone, I pulled over behind the Mercedes. I found a notebook and a pen in my backpack. My hands were trembling so much that the writing was messy. I wrote down my name, my phone number, my address, and a short apology. I tore out the page, walked back to the Mercedes, and carefully put the note under its windshield wiper. Driving home, I was consumed with dread, already imagining the angry phone call and the financial trouble that would follow me to college.
The call came that evening. A woman’s voice, calm and steady, asked for me.“This is Mrs. Gable,” she said. “I’m calling about the note you left on my car.” I braced for the worst, and my apology tumbled out in a rushed, nervous stream. She listened quietly until I finished. “The scratch on my car is quite noticeable,” she said, pausing. My stomach tightened into a knot, sure she was about to demand a huge payment. Then she added, her voice warming, “But so is your honesty.”
Mrs. Gable’s words hung in the air for what felt like an age.

Mrs. Gable’s words hung in the air for what felt like an age. She told me she was deeply touched by my honesty and wouldn’t ask me to pay for the repair. Instead, she praised my father’s good education and said integrity was more valuable than the car. I felt a huge weight lifted off my heart and thanked her sincerely.
A week later, a small package arrived in the mail for me. Inside was a brand-new notebook with a warm letter. Mrs. Gable wrote that she hoped I would always keep this precious quality. I kept the package carefully, and it reminds me to be honest and responsible all the time.
