When I was young, my father inspired my love for astronomy and space exploration by taking me outside at night to observe the stars. Together, we learned to identify constellations (星座), and I felt drawn to the power of the universe. Now, as a master’s student in Stanford’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, I am pursuing that early wonder.
I chose Stanford because it combines cutting-edge technology with real-world impact. Here, engineering is purposeful — aimed at creating change beyond oneself. To me, space offers a platform for large-scale positive impact. I want to use it not only to advance technology, but to help ordinary people and address major challenges. Examples include using satellites to monitor climate and detect wildfires, or applying microgravity environments to develop new medicines and materials.
In my program, I take and assist in courses covering all aspects of the space environment — from guidance systems to spacecraft design. Beyond the classroom, I explore space entrepreneurship as a member of the Threshold Venture Fellow program, which gives students a front-row seat to startup creation, I am passionate about innovation and hope to see more women taking the lead in this field.
Aerospace has long been taken over by men, with women facing many one-sided views. Since high school, I have worked to change this through a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) outreach program, teaching scientific concepts to young girls in schools that lack sufficient resources. My father once showed me historical figures like Hypatia, the ancient astronomer and mathematician, proving that women have long been pioneers in science.
What I value greatly about Stanford is its interdisciplinary (跨学科) culture. As an engineer, I can take classes in law or ethics, which help me consider space innovation from multiple perspectives. Debating was a favorite hobby of mine growing up, and that skill is particularly useful in a field full of uncharted questions.
Since my bike broke early in the term, I’ve been walking everywhere. The campus is beautiful, and walking allows me time to think, plan, and relax. It is a peaceful routine in a busy life — and a gentle reminder to keep moving forward, step by step.
4. What does the author aim to illustrate by mentioning the examples in paragraph 2
A．Stanford’s leadership in space technology.

5. What does the Threshold Venture Fellow program offer
A．Hands-on experience in startup creation.
B．Guidance on spacecraft design.
C．Chances to assist in college courses.
D．Courses in environmental art.
6. What can we infer about the author
A．She dislikes interdisciplinary courses.
B．She once worked as a historical astronomer.
C．She walks to avoid bike traffic on campus.
D．She wants to empower women in STEM.
7. What is the text mainly about
A．Ways to study law or ethics at Stanford.
B．The beauty of Stanford’s campus scenery.
C．A student’s love for space and her efforts.
D．The role of women in space-related fields.

A recent robot sports competition showed humanoid robots running, falling, getting up, and continuing to the finish line. This event reflects the current state of AI and has raised public awareness. At the same time, rising AI stock (股票) prices show that investors are optimistic about its future.
In China, using AI in work and daily life has become a national goal. Last month, the State Council released a plan for the “AI+” initiative. This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years, in three stages, to build new smart economic and social systems.
A survey shows that 53.1% of people are excited about AI, 26% are pleasantly surprised, and 11% feel negative. This optimism comes from the belief that AI will change life just like mobile internet did. This is similar to the success of China’s “Internet+” plan over the past ten years, which helped improve industries and people’s lives.
However, AI also brings worries. Some fear that AI “silicon (硅)-based workers” might take human jobs, and that relying too much on AI could weaken human thinking skills. Research from MIT found that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections. Other current problems include “black boxes” (when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data) and “model hallucinations” (when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data).
Although some people are worried, this will not stop AI from moving forward. As an important area in global competition, AI’s development is certain. The “AI+” plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse. Like other major new technologies in the past, AI will need time to improve. Experts say today’s problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to important breakthroughs in the future.
8. What is the main goal of China’s “AI+” initiative mentioned in the text
A．To reduce the price of AI stocks. B．To combine AI with all industries.
C．To stop people from using AI in daily life. D．To make AI robots win all sports competitions.
9. Why are many people optimistic about AI
A．Because they think AI will change life. B．Because AI will replace all human jobs.
C．Because AI can solve all health problems. D．Because AI robots are faster than humans.
10. What does the underlined phrase “model hallucinations” mean
A．AI robots making errors during tasks. B．Weaker brain connections in AI users.
C．AI mistakes caused by unproven data. D．Unpredictable results from AI learning from data.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s future
A．Totally indifferent, ignoring AI. B．Fully negative, fearing job losses.
C．Deeply doubtful, questioning AI’s value.
D．Cautiously hopeful, balancing risks and progress.

According to YouGov, 88% of Americans have positive feelings about French fries. In short: People love them. However, this delicious side dish is also clearly not-so-great for you. But hold on, fry lovers — researchers may have found a potential solution.
Instead of asking people to give up fries altogether, some scientists are exploring whether the way they’re cooked could make a meaningful difference. In 2025, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign published their findings on creating a better-for-you French fry, using a technique called “microwave frying”.
It helps to first understand what happens to fries when they’re prepared the traditional way. As the potato heats up, the water inside it begins to evaporate (蒸发). This, however, leaves behind tiny pockets, which then create a force pulling the oil inside. Think about a straw in a drink. If you suck on the straw, the liquid moves upward. Now, imagine food materials have lots of tiny straws. When there is positive pressure, the oil stays out. But if there is negative pressure, the oil starts moving in.
As much as 90% of the frying process occurs under this negative pressure. But microwaving may be able to assist in this particular part of the process. When we heat something in a conventional oven, the heat moves from outside to inside. But a microwave oven heats from the inside out. The higher pressure in microwaves helps reduce oil penetration (渗透).
But microwaving alone won’t cook the fries the way we know and love. “If you just use microwave frying, your food turns out too soft.” Takhar said. “To obtain crispiness (松脆), you need conventional heating. Therefore, we propose combining the two approaches in the same unit. Conventional heating maintains the crispiness, while microwave heating lowers the oil intake.” The best news is that restaurants may not need new equipment. Existing large commercial fryers can be upgraded with affordable, widely available microwave generators.
12. What are scientists trying to improve about fries
A．Their taste. B．Their kitchen popularity.
C．Their health effects. D．Their cooking equipment.
13. Which is the correct order of the traditional frying process
① Oil entry. ② Water loss. ③ Negative pressure. ④ Pocket formation.
A．① → ③ → ② → ④ B．② → ④ → ③ → ①
C．② → ① → ④ → ③ D．③ → ④ → ② → ①
14. How do microwaves reduce oil intake
A．By increasing pressure. B．By drying water faster.
C．By creating holes within. D．By heating from outside in.
15. What can be inferred about the new method
A．It is a two-in-one method. B．It remains hard to test.
C．It needs costly equipment. D．It has been widely used.

The use of spanking (打屁股) to punish children has greatly reduced. But yelling (大喊大叫) _16_ Yelling may be the most widespread parental stupidity around today.
How many times in your parenting life have you said to yourself, after yelling at your kids, “Well, that was a good decision ” Yelling doesn’t make you look authoritative (权威的). _17_ It makes you look weak. And you’re yelling, let’s be honest, because you are weak. Yelling, even more than spanking, is the response of a person who doesn’t know what else to do.
But most parents find it hard to imagine how to get through the day without yelling. The new research on yelling presents parents with two problems: What do I do instead _18_
Yelling to stop your kids from running into traffic is not what we’ re talking about here. _19_ Yelling for correction is ineffective as a tool. We yell at our kids over the same stuff every day, and we yell at them some more because the original yelling doesn’t work.
“Only knowing that yelling is bad, in itself, won’t help.” said Alan Kazdin, a professor at Yale. _20_ “If the goal of the parent is catharsis (宣泄), I want to get this out of my system and show you how mad I am. Well, yelling is probably perfect.” Dr. Kazdin said. “If the goal here is to change something in the child or develop a positive habit in the child, yelling is not the way to do that. There are other strategies, and they don’t include yelling.”
A．And how do I stop
B．But when should I stop doing that
C．We’ re talking about yelling as a form of correction.
D．In fact, it makes you look out of control to your kids.
E．Yelling is not a strategy; it’s a form of emotional expression.
F．Yelling, obviously, does great harm to children than you imagine.
G．Almost everybody still yells at their kids sometimes, even those who know it doesn’t work.

Dear Tom,
I’m glad you’re interested in Chinese idioms and I’d like to recommend The Foolish Old Man Removes the Mountains as your motto.
The idiom comes from an ancient story. An old man kept removing mountains blocking his home despite doubts. His continuous efforts finally moved heaven and the mountains were taken away. It teaches us that perseverance and constant efforts can overcome any difficulty.
I recommend it because learning Chinese is a long process full of challenges. If you keep practicing patiently and never give up, you will surely make steady progress.
Wish you great progress in Chinese learning!
Yours,
Li Hua
