Most 10-year-olds spend their free time playing video games, but Ernesto Gael Hernandez, from Brownsville,
Texas, is busy running his own 3D printing business and dreaming of buying his mom a house someday.
What began as a fun way to make custom keychains for classmates has quickly grown into a successful small
business. Based in his home workshop, Ernesto creates various customized items, such as keychains, whistles, can
openers and stress-relief toys for people with anxiety and ADHD (多动症) .
This idea first took shape several months ago, when he told his mother that he wanted to buy a 3D printer.
Instead of simply buying him a machine, she encouraged him to work and save for it himself. He saved $500 from
chores to buy his first printer. It was then that he came up with the idea of making money from 3D printing, thus
launching his brand, Prestige 3D Labs. He even taught himself to create custom designs by watching online
tutorials (教程).
Business has grown fast. He has earned around $1,500 in profit so far and demand became so strong that he
partnered with a local Brownsville clothing store called Jungle to help sell his creations. Now, three printers run
regularly to keep up with orders coming in.
Despite business success, Ernesto sticks to a tight schedule to balance his business, schoolwork and football
training. With printing tasks arranged early in the morning, during school days and before practice, he succeeds in
running his business steadily.
For Ernesto's mother, Samantha Quezada, the business has become more than just a way for her son to earn
money. “It's a little bit stressful, but honestly I enjoy we get to do it together,” Quezada said. “It is part of our
quality time.” But for Ernesto, his motivation is surprisingly heartfelt. “I just like doing it because I want to invest
in a house for my mom when I grow older,” Ernesto said.
24. What does Ernesto's 3D printing business mainly do
A. It prints keychains for classmates. B. It produces daily household items.
C. It creates a range of mood-lifting products. D. It tailors various products to customers'
needs.
25. What inspired Ernesto to start his business
A. His dream of buying a house for his mother.
B. His experience of saving money to buy the printer.
C. The decision to make keychains for his classmates.
D. The high profit from selling all kinds of small products.
26. Which of the following can best describe Ernesto
A. Ambitious and organized. B. Caring and generous.
C. Hard-working and humorous. D. Adventurous and creative.
27. What is the best title for the passage
A. Hard Work Creates a Teen's Success B. Business Builds Close Family Bonds
C. 3D Skills Open a Whole New World D. 3D Printing Shapes a Teen's Dream House
C
Insect-size drones are too small to carry around complex navigation systems. To help tiny autonomous fliers
find their way home, researchers are taking their clues from honeybees with the Bee-Nav, described today in
Nature.
A honeybee leaving the hive first takes a short learning flight to memorize nearby landmarks, explains the
study's lead author Guido de Croon. As a bee flies away, “it keeps track of the direction and speed of its movement,”
de Croon says, in a process called path integration. Because path integration tends to gather tiny measurement
errors over time, the insect relies on the memorized landmarks to correct its course as it gets back home.
De Croon and his colleagues copied this workflow. A drone performs a learning flight, capturing scenery with
a camera. It trains a neural (神经的) network to map images to homes, creating a safe zone. Using path integration,
it returns, if within the zone, the network guides it home.
The Bee-Nav does this using a computer the size of a credit card that runs neural nets with between 3.4 and
42.3 kilobytes (千字节) of memory — thousands of times less than conventional mapping setups use. “What I find
especially exciting is how little computation is needed. This is the kind of approach that makes serious outdoor
arrangements possible.” says Sarah Bergbreiter, a mechanical engineer.
De Croon's team is still working out a few challenges for the platform. “Platforms running Bee-Nav will also
need local barrier avoidance and planning capability if the environment is crowded or dynamic,” says Sean
Humbert, a mechanical engineer at the University of Colorado Boulder, who was not involved in the study.
But even now, de Croon says, the Bee-Nav can make autonomous, outdoor drones smaller and more
power-efficient. “We could easily put it on a 50-gram, even 30-gram drone,” de Croon claims. Scaling autonomous
drones further down to the size of actual bees, he notes, would require solving other fundamental problems like
contracting batteries. “But we hope when these problems are solved in the long term, we will have the intelligence
ready to match that,” de Croon says.
28. What is the purpose of the research on Bee-Nav
A. To copy bees' daily flight workflow. B. To adjust the overall size of micro drones.
C. To facilitate the navigation of tiny drones. D. To improve drones' load-carrying
performance.
29. Why does the author describe the bee's navigation before introducing Bee-Nav
A. To show how bees learn to fly around their hive.
B. To prove tiny drones have trouble with navigation.
C. To show that bees are more intelligent than drones.
D. To explain the biological inspiration behind the Bee-Nav.
30. What is Sarah Bergbreiter's attitude towards Bee-Nav
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Uncaring. D. Interested.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Drones as small as real bees are already widely used outdoors.
B. The navigation technology for tiny drones still needs further tests.
C. Bee-Nav is designed specifically for 30-gram to 50-gram drones.
D. It is tough to make batteries smaller for bee-sized drones currently.
D
Nick Epley was commuting (通勤) to work at the University of Chicago when he looked across the train and
wondered: Why are all these people sitting side by side ignoring each other
Epley, a professor of behavioral science, thought about how very lonely people are, and he challenged himself
to strike up a conversation with the woman sitting next to him. It changed his life — and led him to write the book
“A Little More Social: How Small Choices Create Unexpected Happiness, Health and Connection.”
After reading it, I decided to try the experiment myself. I've always been a fairly outgoing person, but the idea
of talking to strangers and befriending acquaintances still made me feel anxious. I asked Epley whether he ever felt
that fear, too. “I still do sometimes, but it dulls a lot.” Epley said. Of course, it isn't always advisable to talk to
strangers. Epley said you should never do so if you feel unsafe.
But in dozens of studies involving more than 30,000 people, he and other researchers have found that people
are happier when they are more social, even if they consider themselves introverts (内向人) , or fear that reaching
out to another person will be embarrassing
In one study, Epley found that after having a conversation with a stranger, people predict that a future
conversation with another stranger will be more enjoyable. But that effect fades pretty quickly. “It's not like you go
out and have a nice conversation with somebody in the elevator and the anxiety disappears,” Epley said. The main
reason people feel uneasy about socializing, he said, is that we focus on the wrong thing. We worry about what
we'll say rather than how we'll say it. This was certainly true for me.
I worried more about whether I would remember a neighbor's name than I did about whether I would seem
kind. But the research shows that if I'm warm and outgoing, it doesn't really matter that much what I say. If you're
friendly first, that will probably be returned.
32. What did the conversation with the woman serve as for Nick
A. A reminder of friendship. B. An inspiration for a book.
C. A source of happiness. D. An introduction to a new world.
33. What does the underlined word “dulls” in paragraph 3most probably mean
A. Weakens. B. Ends.
C. Grows. D. Exists.
34. What can we learn from the passage
A. The research result does not apply to introverts.
B. The positive effect of chatting with strangers lasts forever.
C. People often fail to remember what to say when facing strangers.
D. The author also focused on the wrong thing when talking to strangers.
35. What might the author agree with
A. One good turn deserves another. B. Loose lips sink ships.
C. A still tongue makes a wise head. D. Action speaks louder than words.

Good organizations need teams that are high-performing and can communicate clearly. As a leader or manager,
you can contribute by building strong teams and encouraging teamwork. To build a strong team, consider the
following practical steps.
Set SMART goals. Your team can prioritize SMART goals by choosing objectives that are Specific,
Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-based. 36 Since every member shares the same
team-specific goals, your team can monitor advancement and celebrate accomplishments.
37 Teams tend to work best when each member is responsible for contributing something specific.
When team members have their own roles, they can focus on accomplishing individual tasks and following specific
workflows rather than devoting energy to identifying their place.
Experiment regularly. The most successful teams tend to encourage their members to experiment with new
ideas. 38 For example, trying brainstorming before starting a project can not only contribute ideas for the
project, but also boost individual growth.
Embrace diversity. The most effective teams embrace different skill sets, experience levels and professional
backgrounds. 39 In this way, your team may consider different approaches or perspectives.
Keep everyone on the same page. 40 For example, make sure everyone knows which person or
channel to turn to when they have a problem. Also, your team should decide how project updates will be
communicated, be it email, messaging platforms or project management applications. With clear rules and the right
tools, your team will waste less time and get more done.
A. Perform well-defined roles.
B. Focus on accomplishing tasks.
C. You should include members who have varied opinions.
D. When carrying out these objectives, track progress regularly.
E. And trying them often provides opportunities for learning.
F. To work together smoothly, teams need clear lines of communication.
G. When each member is held responsible, they may shy away from complex work.

Russian Artist Boosts Ties Using Brush and Ink
In a painting studio of the China Cultural Center in Moscow, Russian artist Anna Donchenko, holding a
Chinese writing brush, began writing across the paper. With her brushwork shifting, distant landscapes gradually
took shape, 56 (breathe) life into mountains and rivers on China's traditional Xuan paper.
Donchenko began painting as 57 child. In her middle school years, a visit to the State Museum of
Oriental Art in Moscow opened the door to the domain of Chinese painting. Her first trip to China in 2007 58
(mark) a turning point in her life. The moment she set foot in China, she purchased calligraphy and painting books,
and 59 (brush). She filled her suitcase with these items and took them back to Russia.
In 2014, she enrolled at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou 60 (pursue) systematic academic
training in Chinese painting. During her stay, she traveled extensively across the country, burying 61
(she) in local folk customs, natural landscapes and time-honored traditions. Over time, she gained a deeper insight
62 the philosophical wisdom and humanistic essence embedded in traditional Chinese fine arts.
“ 63 moves me most about Chinese painting is its focus on its rhythmic charm and the spiritual
resonance (共鸣) between humanity and nature,” she notes.
The China Cultural Center hosts Chinese painting classes three evenings a week. “Art teaching is far more
than teaching professional skills,” Donchenko says. “It is about passing down the passion you 64 (true)
value. I wish more people could embrace joy 65 perceive beauty through learning Chinese painting, just
as I once did.”

The cold December wind blew against Trevor's thin coat as he walked along the empty street. His fingers
touched a folded (折叠的) two-dollar bill in his pocket, soft and worn at the edges. It was all he had saved from his
allowance, hoping to do something good for the sick kids in Primary Children's Hospital, but visiting hours ended,
and the bill stayed folded. The chance never came back.
An old paper on a light post caught his eye. A picture showed cups steaming on a table. “Hot Chocolate Stand,”
the words read. “All money goes to Primary Children's Hospital.” Trevor stopped. He read it twice. The hospital
name matched the sign behind him. He felt the chance had come back. He took the paper down and folded it
carefully.
The next Saturday, he found the small stand at the street corner. A friendly girl was busy making hot chocolate,
her breath white in the cold air. The sweet smell of cocoa and sugar filled the street. A small crowd had gathered,
cups in hand, faces warm. Trevor walked closer, the paper in his hand.
A small box on the table said “Donations”. Trevor's stomach began to make noises. He looked at his two
dollars, then at the box. A warm meal, or a warm deed He pushed the bill back into his pocket. “I saw your poster,”
he said. The girl looked up, her eyes tired but kind. “First one's free, if you help,” she said, handing him a cup.
Trevor took it, warming his hands. He spoke softly about the good deed he had wanted to do, and the bill still
folded in his pocket
She listened, nodding, pouring chocolate for the next customer. The line grew longer. The girl moved between
the pot and the customers, her hands never still. He looked at the girl, then at the busy stand. “I could help,” he said
softly.

Dear Mr. Jackson,
Knowing that our school will hold the English Classic Reading Month, I'm writing to put forward several
thoughtful suggestions to enrich this meaningful activity.
To begin with, we may launch a book exchange activity on campus, where students can lend or borrow
English classics. It not only enriches our reading resources but also creates a strong reading atmosphere. In addition,
it is also a good idea to ask students to write book reviews after reading, enabling us to sort out thoughts and
deepen our comprehension of English classics. What's more, we can arrange for students to perform short plays
adapted from classic works, which makes learning lively and helps students appreciate the charm of literature.
I sincerely hope that my proposals will be of value to you. Should you adopt my ideas, I would be highly
grateful.
Best wishes,
Li Hua

The girl looked up, her eyes meeting his.“We need more hands,” she said. Trevor moved behind the table.
She passed him a cloth and showed him how to hold the cup, how to pour the chocolate slow and steady. His first
try spilled over the edge, but she only smiled and handed him another cup. The steam rose warm against his cold
face. Customers came, cups passed, and the box filled with more bills. Trevor's hands, once still in his pockets, now
moved without pause. The two dollars stayed folded, warm in his pocket.
When the last customer left, Trevor dropped his bill into the box. The girl filled a fresh cup.“For the helper,”
she said, pressing it into his hands.“But I,” “You gave both.” She nodded at the box, then at the empty street.“
The money helps. The hands help more.” He held the cup tight, feeling the warmth spread through his fingers.
The chance hadn't passed. It had simply changed hands. He walked home through the empty street. The December
wind still blew, but something inside got warm. The two dollars were gone. But the warmth remained.

short presentation.
W: Well, there's a lot to discuss about the different periods in art.
M: That's a good way to start.
W: Then you can bring in how specific types of art were popular in some periods, like sculptures in the classical
period and paintings in the Renaissance period. And how to use a wide variety of media to create modern art
nowadays. Just keep it brief, because it's a large area. There are so many periods and movements in art, and you
don't want to just list them one by one.
M: I agree. Thanks a lot, Isabel.

Good morning, everyone. I hope you're all feeling OK after the activities last week. I know you've all been
working hard recently, especially with the wedding last weekend and the trade fair straight after that. And now we
have only three days to prepare for the birthday party this weekend.
At the moment, we don't have exact numbers of guests, and though we usually receive groups of less than fifty,
we will have quite a few more than that, but we won't go over the maximum of 100. So, what time will the event
start Well, the invitation says guests should arrive between 7:30 and 7:45, but our experience is that there are
always a few who like to arrive early, so we'll expect the first people at 7:15. As the numbers are quite large, this
will certainly be the case. Food will be served at around 8:30, and then, depending on how long the meal takes, the
entertainment will start about two hours later. So, let's get started on the preparations. I'll have the detailed
assignments sent out within an hour. Thanks, everyone, and let's make this another memorable celebration.
