“Lives of great men all remind us that we can make our lives sublime (崇高的)” is a line from A Psalm of Life (《人生颂》) that Chen Lin read in a Learn video when he was 96 years old.
With a “life is to give, not to take” attitude, Chen Lin devoted his life to the development of foreign language education in China.
Born in 1922, Chen worked in foreign education for more than 70 years. In 1950, he started teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University. At the university, Chen was known for his nickname of “Three UP Professor”, since he always insisted on “standing up” and “speaking up” when teaching. Also, when class was over, he would instantly “shut up”.
In the 1980s, in most English classes, teachers did most of the speaking, while students mostly only listened. But Chen encouraged students to speak and practice more. Outside of class, Chen still tried his best to popularize English among common people. In 1981, he took part in the TV program Follow Me (《跟我学》) and taught people English in a fun way, which started a craze for learning English.
In 1999, Chen led experts to develop English curriculum standards (课程标准). Before that, English teaching goals from primary to university were not connected. But the standards changed the situation, making English education work like “one package”.
To help students learn English more effectively, Chen advised providing suitable Englishlearning material for students at different levels. “I have been a teacher all my life, and I want to be an English teacher again in my next life.” Chen said.
“I think there is no more noble profession than to teach and make students useful to the people.”
4. What can we know according to the passage
A．Chen Lin was the leading expert in developing English curriculum standards.
B．Most teachers encouraged students to speak and practice more in the 1980s.
C．Chen Lin was famous for his attitude toward life.
D．Chen Lin created Follow Me alone to encourage students to learn English.
5. Why did Chen Lin teach people English in the TV program Follow Me
A．To become more famous in China.
B．To make English popular among common people.
C．To encourage more people to attend his class.
D．To show his fun way of teaching English.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Chen Lin decided to teach English again.
B．Chen Lin thought only teaching was a noble profession.
C．Chen Lin was proud of being an English teacher.
D．Chen Lin hoped more people could become English teachers.

Some foods are highly processed or ultraprocessed. Ultraprocessed foods (UPF) have become increasingly popular and range from chips to microwave meals and even bread. Even just a casual glance at supermarket shelves reveals a collection of UPF offerings in delicate and attractive packaging. Besides their affordability, UPF not only offer timesaving convenience, but also momentary satisfaction filled with fat, sugar, salt and additives. After all, who can resist enjoying a tasty snack when lost in a football game or an exciting new TV series
Although much is discussed about the direct negative impact of these products on our health, including obesity, heart diseases and diabetes, little has been said about the impacts of UPF on the environment. The most serious environmental impacts of UPFrich diets mainly come from the postfarm stages, especially from the final product creation and packaging processes.
One specific additive that has the most environmental impact is palm oil. Palm oil is responsible for deforestation of some of the world’s big forests, which have diverse animals and plants. It is one of the world’s most consumed vegetable oils that can be found in half of our food. The massive waste generated by overpackaged UPF is another factor to consider. Their plastic packaging doesn't degrade in landfills or in nature and has a dramatic impact on soil health and life in the sea. One recent study published in Nature Sustainability demonstrates that UPF processing and packaging stages have the greatest environmental impacts of the whole system and are a major source of environmental waste worldwide.
The environmental impact of ultraprocessed foods cannot be ignored any longer. While producers must take action, it is our growing awareness of what we buy and how it is produced that drives real change. By choosing wisely — whether by rejecting heavily processed options or supporting sustainable brands — we exercise the power to shape a better food system, a responsibility we must embrace.
8. What can be learned about UPF from the first paragraph
A．They are primarily consumed during casual leisure activities.
B．They are carefully produced to be environmentally friendly.
C．They are filled with various kinds of healthy added nutrients.
D．They are favored by many for their fancy packages and flavors.
9. Why palm oil was introduced in the text
A．To compare it with some other vegetable oils.
B．To explain UPF's harmful environmental effects.
C．To show its relationship with animals and plants.
D．To discuss factors of UPF's packagingrelated pollution.
10. What does the author think of the role we play in fighting UPF
A．Tiny. B．Essential. C．Replaceable. D．Limited.
11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．From Shelf to Soil: the Hidden Journey of UPF
B．Fast and Cheap: UPF Take Over Our Daily Diets
C．Beyond the Shelf: UPF Are Harming the Planet
D．Convenience at a Cost: the Health Damage of UPF
D
In today’s world, bad news seems endless — wars, economic crises, and climate disasters fill headlines. Yet, many of us can’t stop checking our phones for updates, even late into the night. This habit, known as “doomscrolling”, traps people in a cycle of consuming negative content.
Humans naturally focus on threats — a survival need from ancient times. Early humans who noticed dangers like predators (掠食者) had better chances to survive. Modern media uses this natural ability, prioritizing shocking headlines with the rule “if it bleeds, it leads.” Social media now acts like a digital “lion in the grass”, feeding our brains endless alerts about global crises. Christopher Ferguson, a psychology professor at Stetson University, explains, “People who struggle with uncertainty are especially open to doomscrolling.”
This habit resembles contemplation (沉思) — repeating dark thoughts without solving problems. Research suggests heavy social media use may worsen mental health, linking it to depression and anxiety. Even if the causeeffect relationship is unclear, losing sleep over endless scrolling certainly harms mood. Physical effects are also emerging. Dan Nicolau, an immunobiologist at King’s College London, found that frequent social media users may have higher levels of Creactive protein, a marker of inflammation (炎症). This could result from the body preparing for imagined threats, leading to longterm inflammation linked to diseases.
To escape this cycle, start by distancing yourself from your phone. Delete app shortcuts or use tools to limit screen time. Ferguson advises, “Social media should mostly be fun. Ask yourself: Are you enjoying this ” If not, create a plan. For example, use a catchphrase like “Stop scrolling” to interrupt the habit. Finally, avoid panicking about your tech use — small, mindful steps can rebuild a healthier relationship with your devices. By understanding why doomscrolling happens and taking practical actions, we can reclaim our time and mental wellbeing.
His final tips Don’t doomscroll about doomscrolling. “It’s healthy to reflect on our relationship with technology. Just try not to panic while doing it,” Perguson said.
12. Why do people tend to focus on threats naturally
A．People enjoy consuming negative content.
B．It is a survival need inherited from ancestors.
C．Modern media prioritizes shocking headlines.
D．Social media keeps informing us of global crises.
13. How does the author organize the information in Paragraph 3
A．By proving clear causes of health problems.
B．By listing experts’ opinions from both sides.
C．By showing study findings with explanations.
D．By warning about risks and advising solutions.
14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．Various doomscrolling habits.
B．Media’s role in doomscrolling.
C．The lasting effects of doomscrolling.
D．Strategies to overcome doomscrolling.
15. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean
A．Stop researching doomscrolling.
B．Avoid discussing doomscrolling.
C．Don’t overworry about doomscrolling.
D．Don’t learn about doomscrolling online.
