Beneath the bright lights of campus stages, Zhang Xueling, an Indonesian student at South China University of Technology, has truly turned into an excellent storyteller of Chinese culture.
Born in Indonesia to a family with Fujian roots, she received a poetic Chinese name. At five, her mother signed her up for Chinese dance and Kong fu. Back then, she failed to focus on the beauty behind them. To her young mind, it felt like a heavy pressure rather than a joy — simply a tiring and boring task. She almost gave up. However, her respect for her family's wish pushed her forward.
Then, on a trip to ancient Luoyang, an unforgettable moment arrived. She was shocked to see crowds of young people walking through the streets in attractive Hanfu. The atmosphere was so powerful that it awakened her curiosity about Chinese culture. In that flash, she understood: tradition is not dead — it remains alive and breathing.
“How amazing it would be to wear Hanfu!”
Dressed in Tang-style Hanfu with full classical makeup, she walked through YingtianGate and felt as if she had stepped back a thousand years. It was magical: Chinese culture was not simply for museums, but for living.
She entered the 5th “Stories of China Retold in English” competition, naming her speech “Hanfu, a Walking History Book.” She didn’t just speak; she also taught herself the “Old Tales of Luoyang” dance. Backstage, her heart beat fast.“What if I make a mistake on stage ” But the moment she began to move, all her worry disappeared. Her graceful moves, paired with the beautiful Hanfu, completely won the crowd and the judges.
With the Grand Prize and the title “Star of the Stage”, Zhang Xueling proved that with true passion, anyone can bridge cultures and shine.
4. What can we learn about Zhang Xueling in her childhood

C．She met Chinese culture early. D．She had a gift for Chinese dance.
5. What awakened Zhang Xueling's curiosity in Luoyang

Hollywood loves a superpower — heroes remember everything. The idea of photographic memory is simple and powerful: see it once, keep it forever. As a memory researcher, I understand that belief in photographic memory is common and the idea is attractive. But there’s just one problem: no scientific evidence.
Human memory does not work like a recording tool. When you remember an event,memory doesn’t just hand you your experiences the same way every time. Memory doesn’t check stored memories one by one. Rather, you make up the past from little bits of your experience as you remember things. It is a reconstructive process shaped by lots of factors, including the search clues you use; your present knowledge, attitudes and goals; and your current state of mind.
People wrongly think that your memory has failed if you can’t remember. In reality, forgetting is functional. Without it, we’d never get by. For instance, when people use their memories of the past to predict the future, perfect memory would be a pressure. Forgetting washes out the details of past events and keeps the main idea. So you can apply past experiences to new situations, not only in exactly the same things.
Beliefs about “perfect memory” influence how people judge students, patients and even themselves. Sometimes they lead to unrealistic expectations about what we can and should do. Letting go of perfect memory could be a step toward better understanding how memory works. The brain is a storyteller, not a roll of film. It edits, understands and reshapes the past. And that’s not a limitation but a superpower.
8. What do people commonly think of photographic memory
A．It doesn’t last long enough. B．It is a desirable superpower.
C．It is supported by scientists. D．It can be learned by training.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A．Memory serves as a recording tool. B．Memory offers the same experience.
C．Memory ignores one’s state of mind. D．Memory rebuilds our past experiences.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards forgetting
A．Positive. B．Opposed. C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Ways of Storing Memory B．Advantages of Perfect Memory
C．The Mystery of the Human Brain D．The Truth of Photographic Memory

When people talk face to face, nearly half of their attention goes to lip movements. Yet even the most advanced robots have trouble moving their mouths in a natural way, which is why lifelike robots cause uneasy feelings.
On January 15, an engineering team announced a major achievement. For the first time,researchers have built a robot that can learn facial lip movements by watching its own reflection. Published in Science Robotics, the research describes a robot that controls its face using 26 separate motors. Unlike earlier models, this robot began by watching itself in a mirror, experimenting with thousands of expressions. Gradually, it learned which motor movements produced which mouth shapes.
After mastering its own face, the robot studied hours of human speech and singing videos to understand how lips move with different sounds. By connecting sound directly to motor movements, the robot was able to produce well-matched lip movements for words in different languages.
The researchers see it as only a starting point. “When this ability is combined with advanced AI tools, the effect adds a whole new depth to the connection that the robot forms with the human,” said Martin, a leading researcher of the study.
As humanoid robots are introduced into education, elder care and healthcare, scientists believe realistic facial expressions will become increasingly important. And when they have a face, they will need to move their eyes and lips properly, or they will forever remain frightening and unapproachable.
Still, the researchers are aware of the concerns that come with creating machines capable of facial expressions. “This will be a powerful technology,” Martin said. “We have to go slowly and carefully, so we can enjoy the benefits while reducing the risks.”
12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1
A．By quoting research papers. B．By comparing two theories.
C．By providing scientific data. D．By raising a common problem.
13. Which of the following best describes this robot
A．Self-learning. B．Emotional. C．Dependent. D．Changeable.
14. What does the underlined “this ability” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Judging human facial expressions. B．Studying human videos and songs.
C．Observing its own face in a mirror. D．Matching lip movements with sound.
15. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A．To prove the tech is perfect. B．To explain how robots work.
C．To raise researchers’ concern. D．To introduce new robot types.

We are all born creative — this good skill lets us see the world in new ways and solve problems cleverly! As high school students, we might sometimes feel stuck when trying to think creatively. But don’t worry. 16.________
First, accept your inner child and imagine freely. You may not take childish action because you are afraid of looking silly. 17.________ The more freely your imagination flies,the more likely you are to get the idea, creation, or solution you are hoping for. Don’t do adults’ “worried thinking” — try child-like “happy acting” instead. When brainstorming or letting your mind fly, there’s no bad idea. Every little creative idea leads to another.
Connect with people who are different from you. If you talk to those with different views, it will enrich your mind. 18.________ Being in a different group can improve both group creativity and your personal creative mind. The deeper your communication, the more your creativity will grow.
19.________ For example, writing ideas in a notebook may be more real and interesting than typing on a laptop, though everyone’s creative habits are unique. Physically taking in your creative process can attract your senses more and inspire outside-the-box thinking.
Finally, think while walking instead of sitting. It is said that walking — whether indoors or outdoors — can improve greater creativity. 20.________ Don’t shut yourself in your room to find a great idea. Try a walk around the neighborhood.

55. 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。
Money was always a problem in Jack’s family. His father worked two jobs, and his mother worked night shifts at a nearby hospital. They never complained about money in front of him. Still, Jack could see the bills piling up like autumn leaves on the kitchen table.
At school, when other kids talked about holiday trips and new smart phones, Jack just smiled and never said a word. He already had his own secret wealth: books. He was the first to finish reading tasks and the first to ask the librarian if any new novels had arrived.
Every afternoon, after finishing his chores, Jack would make his way to Bright Pages, the biggest bookstore in town. It was a warm, quiet place that smelled of paper and coffee. The owner, Mr. Reed, never minded Jack sitting in the corner for hours, reading without buying a single thing.
Then one day, his teacher made an announcement. “Everyone needs a copy of The Lost Treasure,” she said. “It is a classic. We will read it together next month.”
Jack’s heart sank. He hurried to the school library, only to be told that all copies had been taken. That Saturday, Jack went to Bright Pages like always. He just wanted to forget about it for a while.
There, on the new arrivals shelf sat a book with a dark blue cover and silver letters spelling out The Lost Treasure. Jack’s breath caught. He picked it up carefully, as if it were made of glass. He turned to the back cover and saw the price: 50 dollars. It might mean a thousand to him. His shoulders fell. He put the book back, but his fingers stayed on it.
A thought flashed through his mind.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As promised, Jack came and helped out every afternoon.

A thought flashed through his mind. He went up to Mr. Reed and explained his trouble. He asked if he could work part-time in the shop to earn the book. The kind owner agreed, saying Jack could get the novel for free after one month’s work. Jack jumped with joy and made up his mind to do the work well.
As promised, Jack came and helped out every afternoon. He tidied books, cleaned floors and sorted new arrivals patiently. A month later, Mr. Reed handed him the book as a reward. Holding the treasure tightly, Jack realized that true happiness comes from hard work rather than money.
