24-year-old Canadian volunteer teacher Sophie Morrison arrived in a small African village in 2022 to teach at the local primary school. She quickly grew close to her students, using games and stories to make lessons lively.
On July 22nd — exactly six months into her volunteer work — a sudden storm hit, with thunder crashing nonstop. By nightfall, nearby rivers overflowed, and floodwaters rushed into the village, trapping families in their homes. Sophie was carefully preparing for the students’ lessons for the next day in her room when she heard people crying out in fear from outside. She immediately went to the door and saw water rising fast around the houses.
Picking up a boat borrowed from a local fisherman, she waded (蹚水) through waist-high water toward the cries. 9-year-old Amara and her 5-year-old brother Kofi were trapped in the water, holding onto a wooden chair. “Ms. Sophie’s boat shook in the water, but she held us close until we reached the dry shelter (庇护所),” Amara later said.
The next day, at the shelter under a tree, Sophie didn’t forget her role as a teacher. She devised some simple lessons — she used stones and sticks to teach the students. “Learning gives us hope,” she said.
As the end of one year’s volunteer work came, it was time for Sophie to go back home. Before she left, the villagers held a simple but sincere farewell party. The memories of the life in the village lasted forever in Sophie’s heart.

Cyberbullying (网络欺凌) is a growing problem in schools. In 2023, about three in five of students said they had been cyberbullied, according to the Cyberbullying Research Center. With more students using the Internet, there are more chances for cyberbullying to happen.
Unlike traditional bullying, which happens face to face and can be noticed by teachers or other students, cyberbullying happens online and is easy to miss. It can include spreading rumors (谣言), or sending some hurtful messages. This makes it even more important for schools to find ways to stop it, but they don’t have a good way to find out about the problems in the first place.
Technology can help with this. A tool called Go Guardian Beacon can watch what students are doing on their computers. It uses a machine learning model to look for signs of cyberbullying, like hurtful messages or threats. If it finds something, it can tell schools, who can then take action.
Another tool, from Lightspeed Systems, checks students’ online activities to find concerning behaviors. It uses AI to understand the context and figure out if something is meant to hurt someone. If it finds a problem, a team of safety specialists will even contact the schools directly to let them know.
By using technology, schools can respond faster and more effectively to cyberbullying, keeping students safer and happier.
8. What percentage of students were cyberbullied in 2023 according to the text
A．About 30%.
B．About 50%.
C．About 60%.
D．About 70%.
9. How is cyberbullying different from traditional bullying
A．It happens face to face.

A．It discovers and reports it.
B．It trains teachers.
C．It educates students.
D．It enriches after-school activities.

For years, the black-footed ferret was thought to be gone forever. This small, masked hunter of the North American prairie was declared extinct in 1979. However, a surprising discovery in 1981 changed everything. A small group of ferrets was found on a farm in Wyoming, USA. This discovery gave conservationists a second chance.
Saving the black-footed ferret was not easy. The main problem was the loss of its food source: the prairie dog. Farmers and ranchers often viewed prairie dogs as pests that damaged fields and caused injuries to cattle. As prairie dog towns were destroyed, the ferrets had nothing to eat. To bring the ferrets back, scientists first had to protect the prairie dogs and change people’s opinions about them.
Scientists started a special breeding program. They captured the last wild ferrets and brought them into safe, controlled environments to have babies. At the same time, they worked with local communities to create protected areas where both prairie dogs and ferrets could live without being harmed.
Today, thanks to these efforts, there are about 300 black-footed ferrets living in the wild across North America. While this number is still small, it is a huge victory for wildlife protection. The story of the black-footed ferret teaches us that even when a situation looks hopeless, hard work and science can bring a species back from the very edge of extinction.
12. What did people think about the black-footed ferret before 1981
A．It was a common pest.
B．It had already died out.
C．It only lived on farms.
D．It was safe in protected areas.
13. Why did the number of black-footed ferrets drop in the first place
A．They were hunted for their fur.
B．They got sick from cattle.
C．Their homes were taken by farmers.
D．Their main food disappeared.
14. What was an important step in the breeding program
A．Teaching ferrets to find new food.
B．Moving ferrets to a controlled environment.
C．Asking farmers to feed the prairie dogs.
D．Stopping all farming in Wyoming.
15. What is the main purpose of the text
A．To explain how to raise a black-footed ferret.
B．To describe the life of prairie dogs.
C．To share a successful wildlife rescue story.
D．To warn people about dangerous pests.

Are Smartphones Making Us Less Smart
Walk down any street, and you will see a common sight: heads bent down, eyes fixed on a glowing screen. Smartphones have become an extension of our hands in the 21st century. There is no doubt that this invention has changed how we communicate and learn. ____16____ Some researchers and teachers are starting to worry that these devices might actually be weakening our memory and attention span.
One major concern is “digital amnesia.” ____17____ For example, instead of remembering your best friend’s phone number or the directions to a restaurant, you simply rely on the phone to do it for you. Because we know the information is saved in our pocket, our brains make less effort to store it.
Furthermore, the constant buzzing and ringing of notifications is a huge distraction. Every time your phone makes a sound, your attention is pulled away from the present moment. ____18____ Studies show that even having a phone face-down on a desk can lower your cognitive performance because your brain is still thinking about it subconsciously.
However, it would be unfair to call smartphones entirely bad. ____19____ They connect us with family far away, provide access to endless educational videos, and can help us organize our busy lives. The key is not to throw the phone away, but to learn how to use it as a tool rather than being controlled by it.
The solution might lie in “digital mindfulness.” This means setting clear rules for when and where to use your phone. For instance, you might decide to put the phone in another room while doing homework. ____20____ By being aware of the habit, we can enjoy the benefits of the new era without losing our ability to think deeply.
A．This makes it very hard to focus deeply on a book or a conversation.
B．But is this constant connection always a good thing
C．They also help us find jobs and make new friends more easily.
D．This term describes the habit of forgetting things because we trust our devices to remember them.
E．In the future, smartphones will likely replace computers completely.
F．They have brought incredible convenience to our daily lives.
G．Another good habit is turning off notifications for social media apps.

Sam’s birthday was coming, but his heart was filled with disappointment. Turning eleven was a big deal, and he had always celebrated it with a big party surrounded by his friends. However, this year was different. He had so much homework and his parents’ business was not good, so Sam thought it not a good idea to have a birthday party.
One day after class, his best friend, Jim, asked, “Are you going to have a birthday party this year ”
“No,” Sam answered sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through some difficulties.”
He smiled weakly, trying to hide his disappointment, but Jim saw through his pretence (假装) easily. But Jim did not say anything. After the break, Sam saw Jim talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretly. Curious, Sam went over to them, but as soon as Jim saw him, he quickly walked away. Sam was surprised by Jim’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah.
“What did he say ” Sam asked.
However, Sarah just said no and walked away with Jim, leaving Sam standing there, feeling left out and worried.
What is happening Sam wondered worriedly. Are they keeping something from me

Whenever Sam went over to them, they would just walk away or tell him that they were talking about a secret which Sam was not allowed to know. Jim had never kept secrets from me before, Sam thought. His heart fell. Why were his friends keeping away from him And what were they hiding

Standing outside Jim’s home for a short while, he knocked at the door lightly.
The door opened wide the second he knocked. Colorful balloons and birthday banners filled the room, and all his classmates stood inside holding small gifts. Jim explained that they had noticed Sam’s sadness and planned the secret party to cheer him up. They saved pocket money together to buy cakes and presents, and avoided talking with him just to keep the surprise hidden.
Seeing the smile on the faces of all his classmates, Sam’s eyes were full of tears.
He realized he had misunderstood his best friend these days. He thanked everyone sincerely and blew out the candles together. They laughed and chatted happily the whole night. This unforgettable birthday taught Sam that true friendship means caring for each other silently and bringing warmth when someone is upset.
