“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish, by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” — Albert Einstein
If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, you’re likely to have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and it means, combined with her communication and sight problems, that normal standard isn’t always an accurate measure of her abilities.
By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student to give them much admiration and a high-five. I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence increase rapidly.” he said. All I could think was: how lucky these students are to have such good teachers.
Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: wonderful. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done — she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase greatly. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmates trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.
I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all have. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.
4. What does the author think of Albert Einstein’s saying
A．Funny.
B．True.
C．Strange.
D．Confusing.
5. What can we learn about Syona’s teacher
A．She is Syona’s favorite teacher.
B．She puts Einstein’s quote on the wall
C．She uses videos to teach her students.
D．She helps increase her students’ confidence.
6. What change has taken place in the author’s family
A．They’ve invited Ulmer’s students to their home.
B．They visit Ulmer’s classroom regularly.
C．They give each other praise every day.
D．They feel thankful to people in their lives.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards Chris Ulmar’s way of teaching
A．Supportive
B．Opposed
C．Indifferent
D．Negative
C
Traditionally, older people struggle with new tech, but this doesn’t have to be the case. With proper design, even the most unwilling user can unlock its significant benefits.
A primary barrier (障碍) is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, coupled with difficulty many seniors face in using devices like smart phones or computers. This often causes them to refuse to adopt new technology. This is a mistake. Older people themselves must decide whether they want to accept new technology or miss out on its advantages.
Indeed, technology offers seniors invaluable opportunities: connecting with new friends, staying in touch with old ones and acquiring new skills.
Despite the increasing necessity of technology in modern life, some seniors resist, arguing, “I managed before without technology. Why do I need it now ” Furthermore, frustration (挫折感) is common. “It’s not working.” is a dissatisfaction co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone, and he used technology well for the most part. Specific issues, such as struggling with tiny keypads or reading small text message fonts (字体), were constant sources of difficulty.
Addressing these issues requires better technology design specially meant for seniors. Older users prefer simple, clear web pages with easy navigation (导航). A previous study showed that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面). Although the study was conducted years ago, the problem with web design for senior users remains unsolved today, highlighting the ongoing need for age-friendly technological solutions.
8. Why do older people refuse to accept new techs
A．They have limited access to digital devices.
B．They find hi-tech products challenging to operate.
C．They have a negative attitude towards all new technology.
D．They lack the basic knowledge to maintain digital devices.
9. What can we learn from the example of Lucia’s father
A．Seniors usually struggle to read text messages clearly.
B．Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone.
C．Seniors often feel frustrated when using new technologies.
D．Seniors always meet hardware failures of smart phones.
10. What might be discussed in the next paragraph
A．Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technology.
B．User-friendly solutions for fixing various computer problems.
C．Further studies related to seniors’ dissatisfaction with hi-techs.
D．Effective strategies for web designers to make website interfaces simple.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A．Unlocking Benefits: Why Seniors Need Technology
B．Breaking Barriers: Seniors Struggle with Tech Adoption
C．Embracing smart phones: A Reasonable choice for seniors
D．Bridging the Tech gap: Designing Senior-friendly Technology
D
When photojournalist Jasper Doest arrived in the Transylvanian Alps to document the coexistence of humans and wildlife, he found a story by the roadside — a group of bears begging for food. This close encounter led to incredible photographs. But it also emphasizes the hurdles that conservationists in Romania and elsewhere face in their efforts to restore and protect wild places.
Tourists attracted by the region’s brown bears often give in to the temptation (诱惑) to feed them. This can have disastrous effects. Although bears are usually shy around people, it takes just a few meals for them to develop a taste for human food—and, after that, they don’t stay wild long. Instead, they can become dependent on humans for food, fueling more conflicts between bears and humans and putting bears in danger when they get too close. This region has seen a rise in bear-human conflicts.
In 2023, there were 95 bear incidents, and a hiker suffered a fatal bear attack. This caused officials to raise the annual bear kill quota (限额). Doest also documented an attacked mother bear whose leg had been lost, forced to beg for food along the road. Bears fed by humans become “problem bears”, fueling local opposition to rewilding projects, as more forests mean more bears.
While driving on a mountain pass, Doest and his assistant realized the bears were waiting for human handouts. They had completely changed their behavior. Doest saw other examples of how tourists’ handouts had changed the ecosystem. As he watched people feeding bears snacks like doughnuts, he realized the story of conservation in the region was as much about people as wildlife.
“It isn’t just about rewilding—it’s about the opportunities and struggles rewilding brings us,” he says. “It’s about how to accept nature in our lives, and how we could benefit if we do it the right way.” So don’t feed the bears. You could save an animal’s life, and a community’s commitment to wildlife conservation.
12. What does the underlined word “hurdles” in paragraph 1 mean
A．solutions.
B．dangers.
C．responsibilities.
D．challenges.
13. What is the main reason for the increase in bear-human conflicts in the region
A．The expansion of human settlements.
B．The bears’ dependence on human food.
C．The decrease in natural food sources for bears.
D．The government’s lack of wildlife protection policy.
14. Why do some locals oppose rewilding projects
A．They believe that rewilding will attract irresponsible tourists.
B．They think that rewilding is not effective in protecting wildlife.
C．They fear that rewilding will destroy their traditional way of life.
D．They worry that rewilding will cause more bear-human conflicts.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards feeding bears
A．Negative.
B．Positive.
C．Indifferent.
D．Doubtful.

Is exploring space worthwhile
Recently, students in our class have had a heated discussion on whether space is worth exploring.
30% of the students think it is not worthwhile. Space exploration is far away from our daily life. Besides, it wastes huge amounts of money, which could be used to solve serious problems like hunger and pollution on Earth.
However, 70% of us hold the opposite opinion. Space exploration has helped fight world hunger and greatly promoted technological development. What’s more, it may offer us new homes in the future.
As far as I’m concerned, space exploration is valuable. It pushes human progress and brings countless benefits to our society.
