The hallways at the Military Medical Center felt like a maze. My stomach was in knots as I guided Apollo, but I loosened my grip on the leash (狗绳), not wanting him to feel my nervousness. We had spent months preparing for this moment. What if all that work meant nothing
This calling was personal — it connected me to my grandfather, a World War II veteran who had lost a leg. Watching him struggle with an artificial one gave me a deep respect for the military. I had even planned to join the army, until life pulled me toward training animals for Hollywood.
In 2011, a retired Army officer called, asking if I could train a service dog for his friend Tyler, who had lost both legs in battle. That’s how Apollo entered my life. Donated by a breeder who found him “difficult,” he was the most out-of-control dog I had ever seen — chewing car doors and breaking leashes. Yet I refused to give up, knowing this wasn’t a movie set: if Tyler fell, Apollo had to be perfect.
Finally, the day arrived. Tyler, tough but tired, rolled toward us. I introduced Apollo and explained what he could do — support Tyler to keep balance and pull his wheelchair uphill. Tyler rested his head against Apollo’s neck, tears in his eyes. “Thank you,” he whispered. Relief washed over me. I thought I would hand over the leash and walk away, but instead, more veterans began asking if I could train dogs for them.
That moment grew into the Argus Service Dog Foundation, dedicated to providing highly trained service dogs — free of charge — to disabled veterans. I realized then why this work mattered: dogs, unlike people, never say, “You’re not the same anymore.” I walked away from Hollywood, slept on couches, and lived on free appetizers while building the foundation.
Then came a new calling: a TV series, Lucky Dog, where I trained shelter dogs to serve families in need. It was the perfect blend of show business and service. On my wall hangs the old “lucky leash,” once torn by Apollo. To me, it’s a reminder that even the most broken beginnings can lead to lifelong purpose.
19. Why did the author train service dogs
A．To help disabled veterans.B．To gain Hollywood fame.
C．To follow his grandfather.D．To meet Tyler’s request.
20. What does Lucky Dog mean to the author
A．An escape from financial struggles.B．A shortcut to fame and recognition.
C．A bridge between career and purpose.D．A reminder to return to Hollywood training.
21. Which of the following best reflects the author’s character
A．Mission-driven.B．Thrill-seeking.C．Detail-focused.D．People-pleasing.
22. What does the author’s experience show
A．Fortune favors the brave.B．Every cloud has a silver lining.
C．A barking dog never bites.D．Birds of a feather flock together.

Cities worldwide are witnessing a transformation in urban environments. Wildlife populations in cities are not only surviving but often becoming larger than those in rural areas. Urban bird populations in cities like Berlin have increased by over 40% in the past two decades. These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant.
The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates microclimates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse microhabitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resources. Raccoons in Toronto have learned techniques to open garbage cans. The steady supply of food waste and reduced animal predators in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release”.
Urban wildlife’s fast growth not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. Yet this boom isn’t all positive. Urban animals are developing behavioral changes — increased aggression and interrupted migration routes. Disease spread is also critical as populations grow more crowded, threatening humans and animals alike.
Forward-thinking cities are pioneering architectural innovations. Green roofs in Copenhagen aren’t just for beauty — they’re functioning ecosystems supporting plants, insects, and birds, cutting energy costs by up to 30% while providing paths for wildlife to move. Wildlife bridges like Ecoduct de Woeste Hoeve let over 5,000 deer cross highways safely, reducing wildlife-vehicle accidents by 80%.
The future of urban wildlife coexistence is promising, driven by tech advances and public awareness. Smart tech enables wildlife monitoring, and innovative designs create shared livable spaces. Emerging biotech may revolutionize management: genetic tools help study urban animal adaptation, aiding threatened species. The key is thinking of cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. Living alongside urban wildlife is certainly possible. What really matters is whether we are willing to embrace this partnership with an open attitude.
23. What can we know about urban wildlife from Paragraph 1
A．They are mainly from rural areas.B．They tend to avoid human contact.
C．They have adapted to urban pollution.D．They have grown in diversity.
24. What does the underlined word “irresistible” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean
A．Easy to escape.B．Too attractive to refuse.
C．Difficult to understand.D．Unlikely to survive.
25. What can the urban wildlife boom bring
A．Lowered rates of disease spread.B．An improved sense of well-being.
C．Impressive migration routes of wildlife.D．Positive behavioral changes in wildlife.
26. What is crucial for urban wildlife coexistence
A．A slower pace of urbanization.B．Advanced genetic technologies.
C．An open and adaptive mindset.D．A ban on urban wildlife.

We’ve all heard that ostriches (鸵鸟) bury their heads in the sand when danger approaches. While untrue for the ostriches, it mirrors a common human behavior called “information avoidance” — the active choice to turn away from the freely available information highly relevant to ourselves. But why do we change from naturally curious children into selective information avoiders
A 2025 study titled “Becoming an Ostrich” explored this. Researchers had children aged 5 to 10 play a game where researchers designed two candy distribution plans: equal shares for each, or one large share and one small share. Most children chose the latter and claimed the large share. Then, researchers asked whether they would like to know how many candies were left for their partner. The result was interesting. Younger children showed strong curiosity, actively seeking their partner’s information. The older children, however, increasingly chose to avoid it.
Researchers explained as children grow older, they become more concerned with feeling at ease — even if their actions might not be moral. By avoiding their partner’s information, they tend to keep a sense of fairness, or at least appearing fair. This strategy makes it easier to act in satisfying personal interests without feeling guilty. They note that adults routinely employ the same approach in various real-life situations.
Yet avoidance has long-term costs. Skipping health screenings may ease anxiety now, but can risk serious health issues later. Avoiding tough conversations may prevent short-term conflict, but will likely trap people in unsatisfying relationships. “By repeatedly avoiding opposing views,” researchers warn, “we build avoidance habits that can harden into rigid thinking patterns over time.”
It’s no wonder researchers refer to this as a fundamental human contradiction: we start out in life as curious explorers, eager as possible to absorb whatever knowledge we can. Yet, somewhere along the way, we learn to stick our heads in the sand like an ostrich. This comfortable escape, nevertheless, can shape our choices and determine how our lives unfold. Recognizing this is the first step toward reclaiming the courageous curiosity that defines our earliest years.
27. How does the author introduce “information avoidance” in Paragraph 1
A．By telling a story about ostriches.B．By giving its real-life examples.
C．By describing a scientific experiment.D．By comparing it to an animal behavior.
28. Why did the older children avoid their partner’s information
A．To maintain a nice self-image.B．To safeguard others’ interests.
C．To sustain their sense of guilt.D．To obey the rules of the game.
29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The health costs of our avoidance habits.B．The reasons of ignoring opposing views.
C．The consequences of avoidance actions.D．The ways of forming thinking patterns.
30. What can be a suitable title of the text
A．Does avoidance bring true happiness B．Can we shape our childhood curiosity
C．Is avoidance a path to greater curiosity D．Should we bury our heads like an ostrich

Dear David,
I’m writing to share some moving stories that happened when our class prepared for the school art festival recently.
To put on a wonderful show, all my classmates spared no effort in preparation. Some students devoted their spare time to designing stage layouts and practicing performances. What impressed me most was that several top students volunteered to help those who were shy and less skilled practice. They patiently corrected their movements and encouraged them constantly. Besides, some classmates cleaned up the classroom and arranged equipment voluntarily after each rehearsal without asking for any reward.
These small acts fully reflect the virtues of teamwork, selflessness and mutual help. They make our class a warm and united big family.
Yours,
Li Hua
