Live with roommates Have friends and family around you Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.
I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.
Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.
As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged.
So here is my advice: Lead by action.
4. What do the underlined words “jump on that bandwagon” mean in the first paragraph
A. Share an apartment with you. B. Join you in what you’re doing.
C. Transform your way of living. D. Help you to make the decision.
5. What was the attitude of the author’s father toward buying groceries with jars
A. He disapproved of it. B. He was favorable to it.
C. He was tolerant of it. D. He didn’t care about it.
6. What can we infer about the author
A. She is quite good at cooking. B. She respects others’ privacy.
C. She enjoys being a housewife. D. She is a determined person.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. How to get on well with other family members.
B. How to have one’s own personal space at home.
C. How to live a zero waste lifestyle in a household.
D. How to control the budget when buying groceries.
C
Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good. They are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving and kind, for example. They do the right thing, and don’t bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. Some might say good qualities are inborn. Actually, virtues need to be cultivated (培养). With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment.
Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, and we still never get there. We know if we forgive, we’ll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck
Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build a close relationship; trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations.
We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential, and live a more purposeful, better life.
8. What can we know about virtuous people from Paragraph 1
A. They are born with virtues. B. They never make a mistake.
C. They have a habit of doing good. D. They act on the principle of profit.
9. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Satisfying career. B. Practicing virtues.
C. Trust in a relationship. D. Basic qualities of well-being.
10. What can we infer from the examples given in Paragraph 3
A. Virtues only work in personal relationships.
B. Being grateful always leads to a better job quickly.
C. Kindness is the most useful virtue in dealing with bad moods.
D. Applying virtues properly can change a situation for the better.
11. What is the author’s purpose in the last paragraph
A. To encourage readers to be more virtuous. B. To encourage readers to live a purposeful life.
C. To encourage readers to offer others guidance. D. To encourage readers to develop others’ potential.
D
Nowadays, more and more young people use the term (术语) “executive dysfunction” to describe their daily troubles online. They often find themselves stuck in a silly thinking loop (圈), unable to start even simple daily tasks. Many post short videos online to share their similar experiences, which quickly become popular among teenagers and young adults.
However, professional psychologists (心理学家) point out that most people misunderstand this term. They seldom describe a person as “dysfunctional”. Instead, they prefer to view it as weak executive functioning. It is not a disease, but a common ability everyone has to different degrees. Generally speaking, executive function follows a natural rule: it grows stronger as people grow older, and adults usually have better self-management ability than teenagers.
Many everyday things can weaken our executive function. Staying up late, feeling sick, suffering from long-term stress and anxiety, or being buried in endless work and study will make it harder for us to make decisions and take action. Even too much time spent on social media can take our attention away and worsen the situation.
Experts suggest some simple and practical methods to deal with the problem. First, make clear daily plans and write down small tasks on paper instead of keeping them in mind. Second, set alarms and reminders to avoid delaying tasks, not leaving them till the last minute. Third, stay away from various apps for a while when you have important tasks to finish.
With small changes in daily habits, we can effectively improve our executive function and live a more organized life.
12. What does the term “executive dysfunction” mean according to psychologists
A. It means making good use of time.
B. It means poor self-management ability.
C. It is a common skill among young people.
D. It is a serious disease that needs to be treated.
13. Which of the following can help improve one’s executive function
A. Keeping all the tasks in mind to train the memory.
B. Spending more time on social media to relax.
C. Taking down small tasks on a paper checklist.
D. Working late into the night to finish important tasks.
14. What does the underlined word “delay” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Putting tasks off. B. Finishing tasks in advance.
C. Sharing tasks with others. D. Starting tasks with great effort.
15. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To explain weak executive function and ways to improve it.
B. To doubt young people’s habit of sharing troubles online.
C. To introduce a disease called executive dysfunction.
D. To encourage people to use social media less.

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.

On a bright afternoon, the warm sun shone gently over the school football court, covering the green grass with a soft golden glow. The school football team held an important training match to choose starters for the coming important school league (联赛). All players were divided into two teams to compete hard, each eager to show their best skills and win a place in the starting lineup (首发阵容).
The match soon heated up with quick passes and steps. Teammates called to each other now and then, but the atmosphere turned cold immediately. Early on, Tom’s teammate Frank accidentally passed the ball to the opposite (对方的) team. “Watch it! Can’t you pass right ” Tom shouted sharply, his face turning red with anger. Frank froze in place, head hung low, without saying a word.
Coach Peter, who had been watching closely from the sidelines, immediately blew his whistle and called a timeout. He pulled Tom aside, patted his shoulder gently and said firmly: “Football is not just about winning, but trust and teamwork. Keep calm or you’ll not get a chance.” Tom nodded unhappily and ran back onto the court. The match went on in tense silence: Tom remained clearly annoyed, while Frank tried hard to focus on every move to make up for his mistake.
Finally, Coach Peter blew his whistle and called “Game over!” The score was a 2-2 tie. Tom scored his team’s goals with wonderful shots, and stood proudly with his head held high, a big smile on his face, sure that he would make the team. He didn’t notice his teammates quietly keeping their distance. They gathered in small groups to chat softly among themselves, leaving him standing alone.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；

【答案】The Power of Friendship
The topic of my speech is “The Power of Friendship”. It is universally acknowledged that friends are necessary to us. As far as I’m concerned, a good friend is my nearest relation.
What should we do to make good friends First, admiring our friends is a good way to promote friendship, so we should pay more attention to our friends’ strengths. In addition, friends should treat each other with sincerity. As long as we sincerely treat every friend, then our friends will also be true to us!
I hold a strong belief that friends will make our life more colorful and wonderful.
【答案】One possible version
When Peter announced the starting lineup, Tom found he wasn’t on the list. He burst out angrily, “I’m the best. Why am I not chosen ” He felt extremely mistaken and could hardly accept this disappointing result. Coach Peter looked at him seriously, reminding him of the importance of teamwork he had stressed before. Seeing all the teammates keep a distance from him, Tom suddenly recalled his impolite shouts toward Frank. He gradually calmed down and began to reflect on his own behavior. It dawned on him that his bad temper had destroyed team harmony, leaving him filled with deep regret and self-blame.
Having realized his problems, Tom was determined to make a change. Mustering up courage, he approached Frank and apologized sincerely for his rude outburst and impatient attitude. Emotions well controlled, he never lost his temper easily from then on. In the following training, he kept calm all the time and was always ready to cheer up the teammates who made errors. He devoted himself to teamwork and attached great importance to team spirit rather than personal achievement. His gentle attitude and considerate behavior gradually won everyone’s support and trust. Eventually, he truly understood the real meaning of teamwork and sportsmanship.
