One evening in California, while helping my daughter, Julianna, prepare for a yard sale, I stepped carelessly between the wooden boards and felt the floor give way beneath me. I had grown used to that sinking feeling ever since losing my wife, Amy, to cancer in 2024 — the sight of an old cup could suddenly make my world fall apart. But this time, I was falling for real. Julianna shouted, “Daddy, get out now!” After a hard struggle, I finally pulled myself out.
As I walked downstairs, I thought about how differently Amy would have dealt with things. She had always been the family’s guide — calm and dependable — while I was careless and always depended on her to keep my life in order. After she was gone, I tried to become a focused solo parent, yet I kept making mistakes. I forgot rubbish night until it attracted huge wild animals; I burned carrots until smoke filled the kitchen; I even let our WiFi get disconnected, and Julianna asked, “You’re pretty bad at this, aren’t you ”
Her words made me think. That was when I began to understand that bravery — the kind Amy had always shown — was not about avoiding mistakes, but about facing them when it mattered most.
The morning after I fell, I discovered that someone had covered Julianna’s yard sale signs with red tape (胶带). Without thinking twice, I walked down the street and caught a young man who told me he did it for “friendly competition”, but this time I stood my ground. To my surprise, people nearby gathered and spoke ill of him. When I told Julianna what happened, she laughed and said, “Now you’re getting embarrassing.” But I didn’t mind. For the first time, I understood that bravery did not belong only to my wife — it had been inside me all along. This has been the hardest year of my life, but I am learning that laughter is how we tell ourselves we might get through this together.
4. Which word can best describe the father’s life after his wife’s death
A．Peaceful. B．Lonely. C．Struggling. D．Organized.
5. What does the father learn from his wife
A．Braving challenges when they appear.
B．Depending on others when raising children.
C．Keeping life orderly as his wife did.
D．Avoiding making any mistakes in daily life.
6. How did the father deal with the man who damaged his daughter’s signs
A．By removing the red tape by himself.
B．By taking a clear stand against the man.
C．By asking neighbors for help.
D．By debating heatedly with the man.
7. What message does the story mainly convey
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Two heads are better than one.
C．Actions speak louder than words.
D．Every dark cloud has a silver lining.
C
Cristiano Ronaldo sits on his bed, reminding himself that “sleep is the most important tool that I have,” and that a disciplined routine shapes his performance. The fitness-tracking band on his wrist reflects the close attention he gives to his body. But this once-specialized habit has gradually moved beyond professional sports, becoming part of the lives of ordinary people who want a clearer sense of their health condition.
Many wearables on the market provide reliable heart-rate tracking and basic physiological (生理的) data, sufficient for general everyday monitoring. Some advanced models, however, go further. They show how habits like late-night eating or drinking directly influence recovery and readiness for the next day. Rather than offering separate data points, these devices track how small changes build up over time, revealing behavioral patterns that shape overall health trends.
Health specialist Jess Whitmore says wearables have become essential tools for top athletes, who now consult their data as naturally as they tie their boots. Yet not everyone welcomes this shift toward constant monitoring. Sports dietitian Jess McGregor warns that the expectation to “train like an athlete” can push ordinary people toward perfectionism and anxiety. The urge to improve everything — sleep scores, readiness ratings, daily stress — can make lives center around numbers. While these numbers offer insight, they cannot replace subjective awareness of energy, emotions or recovery needs. “Everything is being digitized and reduced to numbers,” McGregor says.
Perhaps that is the quiet reminder hidden beneath all the data. “When numbers begin to shadow our days, the watch on our wrist can make us forget the body’s gentler signals,” says Dr. Zachary Walston. He adds, “Living a healthy life still means adding enjoyable habits, like evening walks or taking the stairs, and appreciating the pleasure and freedom they bring, rather than simply chasing device targets.”
8. What can we learn about fitness tracking from paragraph 1
A．It controls sports training routines.
B．It is common among ordinary people.
C．It is adopted to treat sleep disorders.
D．It guarantees top athletic performance.
9. What makes advanced wearables different from other products
A．They are designed specifically for night eating.
B．They offer separate and independent data points.
C．They reveal connections between habits and health.
D．They provide rich and solid physiological information.
10. What is Jess McGregor worried about regarding using wearables
A．Mental pressure from chasing numbers.
B．Lack of timely professional guidance.
C．Reduced enjoyment in daily routines.
D．Physical injuries from training too hard.
11. What does Dr. Zachary Walston suggest people do
A．Abandon fitness tracking devices.
B．Predict body responses from data.
C．Set clear targets for daily exercise.
D．Listen to your physical signals.
D
From an early age, we tend to divide ourselves and others into opposing groups — such as “smart vs. dumb” in school or “rich vs. poor” in adulthood. This thinking is often used for simpler identification, but it carries significant risks.
Once we assign people or ourselves to a group, several psychological effects take hold. First of all, the group members assume (假定) an identity. A label is placed on them, which over time achieves a level of permanency. For example, if you decide yourself as belonging to the “I’m really not creative” group, you tend to view yourself as primarily and permanently uncreative. The longer this belief lasts, the harder it is to change.
Moreover, groups provide us with a false sense of comfort. By joining the “I’m not creative” group, we also conveniently protect ourselves from moving beyond the borders of that group into new and often unfamiliar areas. Like birds that hesitate to leave their cages even when the door is open, we eschew the desire to get out of our comfort zone — not because we can’t, but because we won’t. There are not just many like-minded people in the group, but it offers a safe environment to work and play.
But the problem doesn’t end there. There is a tsunami of books and articles that use language such as the following: “Creative people are individuals like Leonardo, Edison, Picasso, or Einstein who have changed our culture in some important respects” and “Creative people are the ones who get ahead in their jobs, start new businesses, invent products… paint pictures, and make things of beauty.” When reading these statements, we automatically assign ourselves to that “other group”, knowing that we can never measure up.
However, as psychological research has convincingly demonstrated, creativity is not exclusive to a select few; it is a birthright shared by everyone. So, be mindful of what you read. Sometimes, others may be putting you in a box without your knowing.
12. What does the underlined word “eschew” probably mean in paragraph 3
A．Employ. B．Arouse. C．Express. D．Avoid.
13. What can we learn from paragraph 4
A．Creative people are very few.
B．Labels may limit our thoughts.
C．All great people are creative.
D．We can match great people easily.
14. What might the author agree with
A．We should read more books.
B．Groups help us know ourselves.
C．Creativity belongs to everyone.
D．Labels help us identify others.
15. What can be the suitable title for the passage
A．Social Labels: Their Hidden Harm.
B．Age Groups: Key Comparisons.
C．Group Identity: Its Hidden Benefits.
D．Creative Thinking: Ways to Develop It.

Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name.

46. 短文写作
Nowadays, it is common that many students suffer from eye strain. We frequently spend long hours reading books and staring at electronic screens, ignoring eye protection.
Overusing our eyes does great harm. It not only leads to poor eyesight but also makes us feel tired and unable to focus on study.
To change the situation, we should develop good habits. We’d better look at distant scenery regularly to relax our eyes. Besides, enough sleep and proper exercise are also necessary to protect our eyes.
47. 读后续写
To her horror, the basket was empty. Panic seized Jane immediately. She anxiously searched every corner of the backyard, calling Pip’s name repeatedly, yet there was no sign of the little sparrow. The heavy wind and rain must have destroyed the basket and blown Pip away. She felt extremely guilty, blaming herself for leaving the poor bird alone. Tears welled up in her eyes as she feared that Pip might have been injured or lost in the storm.
At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip. Holding the trembling sparrow gently in his palm, he explained that he had noticed the storm and rescued Pip in time. He had kept the little bird safe and warm in his house. Looking at the kind neighbor, Jane was deeply touched. She sincerely thanked him. From that day on, Mr. Thompson no longer disliked the birds. Instead, he would join Jane in feeding them, and peace and warmth filled the two families’ yards.
