Auckland’s Best Parks for Escaping the Urban Life
Wherever you are in Auckland, you’ll have a green space where you can escape the urban life. Auckland’s parks are generally well-maintained and popular with locals.
AUCKLAND DOMAIN
The Auckland Domain is a peaceful escape from the city. Take time to explore the Wintergardens, where greenhouses filled with colorful flowers are set around a central courtyard. The Domain is surprisingly large, and being screened from the city is an unusual experience. There is a cafe on-site, but it’s great to bring a snack and enjoy it outdoors. The Domain is also home to the Auckland Museum, where you can see Māori collections and military exhibits.
CORNWALL PARK
This park is situated in Central Auckland. There are two entrances — on the northern side, you’ll find a cafe, a restaurant and gardens, while the southern side has a large playground and the Stardome Observatory. Relax under the trees, or hike up to One Tree Hill, topped by a large stone column and a statue of a Māori fighter. Beneath the column is the grave (墓地) of John Logan Campbell, the “father of Auckland.” It’s a tough climb to the top, but you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views across Auckland.
WENDERHOLM REGIONAL PARK
Wenderholm Regional Park, near the mouth of Puhio River in northern Auckland, is perfect for a day trip. It offers an open space with large trees, a long sandy beach and a sheltered picnic area. While you’re at Wenderholm, it’s worth visiting the historic Couldrey House, and exploring its restored rooms and gardens. For a longer stay, you can rent the park’s small holiday houses through the Department of Conservation.
AMBURY FARM
Ambury Farm in South Auckland is great for families, featuring a petting zoo with friendly farm animals. If you visit from September to November, you can see baby animals like lambs. Try to time your visit to match one of the feeding sessions. There are also lovely views of the harbor and a family-friendly campsite for overnight stays.

It was a cold day in December 2018. Ryan Arens, a 44-year-old UPS driver, was making deliveries near a pond in Bozeman, Montana. As he was about to leave a package at a house, he heard an unearthly sound. “Like a cry for help,” he recalled.
He saw an elderly man in a rowboat, trying to break the ice with a rock to reach a dog trapped about 15 feet from the shore. The dog, a wirehaired hunting dog named Sadie, was struggling to keep her head above the freezing water. Knowing that time was running out, Ryan felt he had to act fast. “Animals are my weakness,” he later told the Great Falls Tribune. Despite the low temperature, he took off his outer clothes, down to his boxers and socks, and took over the rowboat from the man. He carefully slid the boat onto the ice, using it to spread his weight.
When he got close to the dog, the thin ice suddenly broke, and Ryan fell into the cold, 16-foot-deep water. He swiftly swam to Sadie, grabbed her collar, and managed to pull her onto the boat before sliding them both back to shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner. Once in the house himself, Ryan jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both defrosted. A few more minutes in the pond, the rowboat owner told Ryan, and she would have likely suffered cardiac arrest (心脏停搏).
The next day, Ryan was back working in the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie. “Would you like to meet her ” the dog’s owner asked. He opened the door to his pickup, and Sadie shot out. She went straight towards Ryan, leaping on him and bathing him in wet kisses. This act won him the title of “the company’s delivery driver of the year”. “That particular delivery was the highlight of my career at UPS,” Ryan said.
24. Where was Sadie when Ryan heard the strange sound
A.Near a pond.
B.In the water.
C.In a rowboat.
D.On the seashore.

B.The rowboat owner slid him and the dog back to shore.
C.The bystanders jumped into the water with him to save the dog.
D.He swam quickly to the dog and managed to pull it onto the boat.
27. What can we learn from Ryan’s story

B.One good turn deserves another.
C.Don’t put the cart before the horse.
D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C
To live a long and healthy life, it’s not enough to just eat well and exercise regularly. You must also nurture your psychological well-being. Let’s start with relationships.
The Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest in-depth study of human life ever done, has followed participants for decades. It shows that high-quality relationships are key predictors of long-life health and well-being. For example, men with more positive social relationships are more involved in their community and have a lower risk of depression and better cognition in later life.
“People we’re close to help us find solutions to problems and control difficult emotions,” says Schultz, one of the researchers. Just being near people calms the body in important ways. This is because close relationships positively affect our hormones (荷尔蒙), immune systems and even how our genes are expressed.
When people are in good relationships, their wounds heal more quickly. Studies show that a stronger immune system is linked to having more friends, suggesting that sociability can help make the immune system stronger and more youthful. Having close friendships also appears to change the activity of genes responsible for aging and several systems that help our bodies cope with stress.
Loneliness is bad for our health. Its emotional pain can produce the same stress response as a long-term medical condition and lead to swelling and reduced immunity.
To tackle loneliness, clinical psychologist Katherine Schaffer recommends two steps: find a way to contribute to someone else’s life and let others contribute to yours. “Letting people do the same for you can have a great impact on how you connect with others and your attitude to loneliness,” she says.
28. What does the Harvard Study reveal about sound relationships
A.They can cure depression in old age.
B.Their benefits are more noticeable in men.
C.Better health outcomes are linked to them.
D.They are the most important factors for a long life.
29. According to paragraph 4, what is a benefit of good friendships
A.They can prevent the process of aging.
B.They can make the immune system stronger.
C.They reduce stress by changing stress-related genes.
D.They help wounds heal faster by boosting hormone levels.
30. What does Katherine Schaffer suggest to handle loneliness
A.Focusing on contributing to others.
B.Engaging in mutual support with others.
C.Avoiding any dependence on other people.
D.Accepting others’ contributions unconditionally.
31. What should be a suitable title for the text
A.The Power of Relationships
B.The Harm of Loneliness and Stress
C.The Importance of Diet and Exercise
D.The Harvard Study on Adult Development

Stop Quick Judgments to Enrich Your World
How many times have you said “good” or “bad” today From checking the weather app to marking tasks off your to-do list, and even pausing to comment on a friend’s social media photo — you’re constantly making quick judgments. The more you sort things into these two groups, the more automatic this habit becomes. You might even classify everything around you, from a stranger’s outfit to a cup of coffee, as “good” or “bad.”
A dark cloud triggers “bad,” a post of baby animals triggers “good,” and a news story about a fight triggers “bad.” Judging things isn’t totally useless, but if that categorization is the only thing that’s on your mind, the only lens through which you interpret the world, you’ll miss a lot. When you label something as good or bad, you only focus on its features that fit that label. For example, you might only see dark clouds ruining your plans, not the cool shade they bring on a hot day or the way the wind changes their shape into soft shapes. You’ll also miss small joys like blooming flowers or a child watching clouds with wide, curious eyes.
Quick judgments occlude you from a wide range of possible experiences. If everything is just good or bad, nothing can be mysterious, challenging or inviting. But you can change this; just stop judging without thinking, take a breath, and let yourself observe. Instead of evaluating, just look at the world. You’ll notice more and feel more curious. Without “good/bad” labels, traffic jams can be interesting (you might spot a street artist’s work), meals can spark creativity (you’ll savor each ingredient), and a “difficult” co-worker becomes someone you can understand. You’ll have richer emotions and more unique experiences, with less boredom in life.
32. Why does the author mention “a stranger’s outfit” and “a cup of coffee” in paragraph 1
A.To prove people pay more attention to small details.
B.To show people often judge things in their daily lives.
C.To give examples of things that are hard to judge fairly.
D.To contrast things that are commonly labeled “good” or “bad”.
33. What can we learn about quick judgments from paragraph 2
A.They enable people to simplify complex choices.
B.They let people gain more diverse life experiences.
C.They make people overlook the hidden beauty of things.
D.They make people focus only on things they are interested in.
34. What does the underlined word “occlude” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Block.
B.Protect.
C.Distinguish.
D.Expose.
35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A.To introduce the bad effects of wrong judgments.
B.To show how to make more accurate daily judgments.
C.To explain why people judge things as “good” or “bad”.
D.To encourage people to avoid quick “good or bad” judgments.

Why Family Game Night Is Important

■ Reduce screen time and promote presence.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I arrived home from work, my mind racing with anxious thoughts about the expensive equipment and the complex experiment scheduled for the next day.
The weight of responsibility felt heavy; a single mistake could lead to significant setbacks. I had spent the entire day trapped in deep anxiety, my thoughts endlessly swirling around procedures and potential problems. It was at the top of my agenda, and the pressure was overwhelming — I longed to escape the noisy chaos in my head. Determined to find a moment of peace, I finished a quick dinner and deliberately created a quiet routine. I prepared a steaming mug of rich hot chocolate, its sweet aroma beginning to soothe my nerves. Then, I stretched out on the comfortable sofa and picked up a book lying nearby, flipping it open without any particular intention. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. Some of my classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, passionately debating about the magical world, and some were deeply absorbed in the thrilling adventures of Percy Jackson, lost in the world of Greek myths. A few even found themselves under the spell of the heroes in The Lord of the Rings, enchanted by the epic battles and noble knights of Middle-earth. While their copies were passed around and worn, mine sat untouched, quietly collecting dust on a shelf. I would instead choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t just fail to appeal to me — it felt like a burden I couldn’t bear. I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and I thought my mind couldn’t handle processing fiction books any more.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

However, as I began to read, the tight knot of anxiety started to loosen.

五、书信写作范文
Dear Jason,
I’m writing to share my experience in our school art festival held last week. I created a traditional Chinese paper-cutting work featuring flowers and birds.
I spent three days designing and cutting it carefully. The delicate patterns show the beauty of traditional Chinese folk art. Participating in this activity taught me that traditional arts are precious treasures. It also helped me relax from busy study and appreciate the charm of traditional culture.
I hope you can know more about Chinese traditional arts through my work.
Yours,
Li Hua
六、读后续写范文
However, as I began to read, the tight knot of anxiety started to loosen. The magical stories gradually swept away my worries about experiments and work pressure. For the first time in years, I felt totally relaxed and peaceful, free from endless calculations and work plans. I was deeply attracted by the vivid characters and fantastic plots, realizing that fictional reading could bring me great comfort and spiritual relaxation. I used to believe such reading was a waste of time, but now I understood it was a perfect way to balance my busy academic life.
To help me stick to it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would spare at least half an hour every day to read fiction books. I sorted out my idle books and made a simple reading list. Reading not only enriches my spare time but also calms my mind effectively. It teaches me to treat difficulties calmly and inspires me to be more creative in scientific research. From then on, reading has become an indispensable part of my daily life, bringing me constant joy and strength.
