WALK FOR GREEN
How often do you walk around the campus instead of getting straight onto the shuttle bus The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also a greener and healthier alternative to using vehicles. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” initiative.
Programme
Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker”.
Participation
To participate, students and staff members would choose a marked route, and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points(and also at an intermediate card reader). Name, student/staff ID, department/unit, date, time and card readers tapped will be recorded.
Important Notes:
● Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points.
● A total of up to six points can be earned each day.
Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to preserve our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today!

Speeding up and flying over a car while switching hands with a between-the-legs movement to throw the ball home, Chen Dengxing, aged 39 and standing 1.76 meters tall, made history by becoming the first athlete from China to win the dunk (扣篮) contest of the world’s biggest streetball competition in 2025.
Chen showed athletic talent from childhood and trained in high jump and long jump in his school years. After graduating from college, he began working as a bank clerk. But his passion for dunk never died away. So in his spare time, he’d go to a nearby court for dunk practice.
The turning point of his life came in 2011 at an amateur dunk contest, where Cha Tianyi, founder of China’s dunk team told him, “With your bounce and explosiveness, you don’t belong behind a bank counter.” Cha’s encouragement and guidance set him on the path to becoming a professional dunker.
To improve his dunking skills, Chen collected highlight videos of top dunkers from around the world and studied them carefully. From the pace of the approach steps to the power of the takeoff, he analyzed every detail with precision — leaving no movement unexplored. He spent about four hours in training every day — two hours of strength training and two hours of dunk practice. Even when he was out attending other events, he carried a basketball and practiced.
Now Chen has founded a dunk park which has quickly attracted many visitors who are eager to learn from him or simply witness his high-flying skills firsthand. “I will pass on my training methods and competition experience, so that the younger athletes can progress faster. My goal is to make more promising dunkers and help them step onto the international stage,” Chen said.
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A.Chen’s great achievement. B.The rules of the dunk contest.
C.Chen’s physical appearance. D.The history of the dunk contest.
5. What does Chen’s career shift show
A.Risk-taking guarantees success. B.Opportunities favor prepared mind.
C.Actions speak louder than words. D.Natural talent outweighs hard work.
6. Which of the following best describes Chen in his professional training
A.Generous and sincere. B.Focused and devoted.
C.Determined and brave. D.Patient and ambitious.
7. Why did Chen set up a dunk park
A.To select coaches. B.To attract visitors.
C.To support dunkers. D.To meet followers.
C
Users of Google Gemini, the tech giant’s artificial-intelligence model, recently noticed that asking it to create images of Vikings, or German soldiers from 1943 produced surprising results: hardly any of the people depicted were white. Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors. Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap, instead it fell into another one, depicting George Washington as black. Now attention has moved on to the chatbot’s text responses, which turned out to be just as surprising.
Gemini happily provided arguments in favor of positive action in higher education, but refused to provide arguments against. It declined to write a job ad for a fossil-fuel lobby group, because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize “the interests of corporations over public well-being”. Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization, it replied that the conflict in Gaza is “complex”, asked if Elon Musk’s tweets of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was “difficult to say”. You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias.
Inadequate testing may be partly to blame. Google lags behind OpenAI, maker of the better-known ChatGPT. As it races to catch up, Google may have cut corners. Other chatbots have also had controversial launches. Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover odd behaviors, which can be swiftly addressed, lets firms move faster, provided they are prepared to weather (经受住) the potential risks and bad publicity, observes Ethan Mollick, a professor at Wharton Business School.
But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted, or “fine-tuned”, to produce these responses. This raises questions about Google’s culture. Is the firm so financially secure, with vast profits from internet advertising, that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity, but a responsibility, to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda All eyes are now on Google’s boss, Sundar Pichai. He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too
8. What do the words “this trap” underlined in the first paragraph refer to
A.Having a racial bias. B.Responding to wrong texts.
C.Criticizing political figures. D.Going against historical facts.
9. What did Gemini refuse to do
A.Argue for higher education. B.Write a fossil-fuel lobby ad.
C.Call Hamas a terrorist group. D.Judge Elon Musk’s memes.
10. What does Ethan Mollick think of Gemini’s early launch
A.Creative. B.Promising. C.Illegal. D.Debatable.
11. What can we infer about Google from the last paragraph
A.Its security is doubted. B.It lacks financial support.
C.It needs further improvement. D.Its employees are irresponsible.
D
Most of us were raised to think that smart people always know the right answers. From gold stars in school to performance reviews in the office, we’re rewarded for certainty.
Yet as Bidhan Parmar, professor at the UVA Darden School of Business, argues in his new book, Radical Doubt, “Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon.” His point is unsettling. The very habits we rely on to feel smart — rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions — are the ones that keep us from making wise choices.
The hardest problems we face in life, whether in careers, relationships, or society, rarely come with single right answers. They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty. The old playbook of being a “right-answer getter” not only fails here, but backfires. As Parmar explains, “We often treat complex problems like simple ones until we are faced with the reality.”
Our personal and professional environments are more uncertain than ever. Technology evolves faster than regulation, workplaces are more diverse, and social standards are shifting. I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward.
Our brains run on interconnected systems: the Pursue system(seek rewards), the Protect system(avoid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Together system(engage doubt and reframe). Prior evidence-based studies report that most of us let the first two dominate, charging ahead or withdrawing in fear. Grounded in behavioral science, the wiser move is to take enough time to notice complexity, question assumptions, and treat our intuition(直觉)not as the only decision but as an alternative. In practice, this means holding competing goals side by side, and learning to say not “I know,” but “I’m learning.”
12. What is implied by mentioning the spoon feeding
A.Certainty might ruin decision-making. B.Average people can learn few facts.
C.Smart habits secure positive outcomes. D.Simple tools secretly boost creativity.
13. Which might be a “moment of unease”
A.Profiting from stable investments with spare funds.
B.Trying to find a job overseas when a parent falls ill.
C.Treating difficult problems with one’s first intuition.
D.Continuing to develop in one’s familiar research field.
14. What can make leaders fail according to the author
A.Shifting standards. B.Lacking experience.
C.Ignoring principles. D.Overlooking doubts.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.The trap of right answers B.The power of human intuition
C.The limits of simple solutions D.The wisdom of open doubt

The Art of Protecting Your Peace
Learning to protect your peace is essential for maintaining emotional well-being. When we don’t prioritize peace, we waste energy trying to change things we can’t control. Instead, practicing gentler responses — what some call “underreacting” — helps us navigate challenges more calmly. ____16____ It’s about choosing how to respond in a way that preserves your well-being.
Practice mindfulness regularly.
Mindfulness and meditation are effective tools for cultivating peace. Meditation teaches you to let go of annoying thoughts instead of fighting them. Similarly, mindfulness practices like deep breathing or taking a sensory walk allow you to focus on the present moment. ____17____
____18____
When faced with something upsetting, ask yourself, “Do I really care about this ” If the answer is no, let it go. If you’re unsure, dig deeper with questions like, “Why should I care ” or “Do I have the energy to deal with this ” Shifting your attention away from unimportant issues prevents unnecessary stress.
Be mindful of your triggers.
Overreacting often stems from external factors like hunger, stress, or fatigue. Understanding these triggers allows you to avoid difficult situations when you’re not at your best. ____19____ Similarly, show compassion to others who might be reacting poorly due to their own struggles, but remember to set boundaries against mistreatment.
Write to release emotions.
Journaling is a powerful tool for processing emotions. By putting your thoughts and frustrations on paper, you can distance yourself from them and see what truly matters. ____20____
Remember, protecting your peace doesn’t mean holding back emotions. It’s okay to cry, scream, or confide in friends. The goal is to respond thoughtfully and limit harm, both to yourself and others. Sometimes, even a small step — like taking a deep breath — can make all the difference.
A.Evaluate what matters.
B.Take a pause before reacting.
C.This clarity often reveals that many issues are not worth the fight.
D.This doesn’t mean ignoring problems or pretending everything is fine.
E.“Underreacting” refers to avoiding issues or acting as though all is perfect.
F.For instance, don’t tackle sensitive discussions when you’re tired or overwhelmed.
G.These practices help you develop the habit of responding calmly instead of reacting impulsively.

47. Kay was a 16-year-old high school student. Every morning, he rode his old bicycle to school. His family was financially disadvantaged—his parents worked as cleaners and barely made enough money to pay the bills. So Kay always tried to be careful with his things, afraid of causing any extra trouble.
One Tuesday morning, the sky was gray and it looked like it would rain. Kay hurried on his bicycle, worried about being late for class. As he turned a corner near the community park, a big bus suddenly appeared from the opposite direction. It was coming so fast that Kay didn’t have time to think. To avoid crashing into the bus, he quickly turned his bicycle to the right. But before he could stop, his bike hit a small black car parked by the roadside with a loud “bang”.
Kay fell off his bike and scraped (擦伤) his knee. He stood up in a panic and checked the car. Oh, no! The car’s left headlight was completely broken, and there was a long scratch (刮痕) on the door. Kay’s heart started beating fast. He looked around—there was no one on the street, and he didn’t see any security cameras nearby. “I could just leave,” he thought. “No one will know it was me.”
But then he thought about the car’s owner. The owner must have spent a lot of money on this car. If he left, the owner would have to pay for the repair all by himself. Kay looked into his schoolbag. He found a piece of sticky note and a pen. He wrote: “Dear car owner, I’m Kay, a student. I hit your car by accident this morning. I’m sorry. Please call 555–7890 so we can talk about the repair.” He stuck the note on the car’s windshield (风挡) and then rode to school, feeling a little nervous but also calm.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At night, Tina, the car owner, noticed the broken headlight first.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Contrary to what Kay might assume, Tina didn’t get angry.

Trace History, Honor Ages
Last week, our school held a History and Culture Festival themed "Trace History, Honor Ages" to enrich students’ historical knowledge and develop patriotism.
Many wonderful activities were held. We enjoyed historical drama performances showing ancient stories, took part in a history knowledge competition, and visited an exhibition of traditional cultural relics hand-made by students. Teachers gave lectures on Chinese brilliant history as well.
Both teachers and students spoke highly of this festival. They said it helped them realize the greatness of our nation and inspired them to love our motherland deeply.
五、读后续写范文
At night, Tina, the car owner, noticed the broken headlight first. She was annoyed at the sight of the damaged car and planned to find out who was responsible. Just as she was about to call the police, she spotted a small sticky note on the windshield. After reading Kay’s sincere apology and his contact number, her anger faded away. She could feel the boy’s honesty from every word he wrote. She made up her mind to call him the next morning instead of reporting the accident.
Contrary to what Kay might assume, Tina didn’t get angry. She called Kay and told him she wouldn’t ask him to pay for the repair, moved by his honesty. She praised Kay for taking responsibility instead of escaping. Later, they met and chatted. Tina told Kay honesty was far more valuable than car repairs. This incident taught Kay that honesty is the best quality a person can have, and he decided to always stick to honesty no matter what trouble he meets.
