Grandparenting these days is all about technology. I'm not talking about smart devices. We're pretty good at that. It's those strollers(婴儿车) and car seats. When our kids were little, life was simple. We had carriages that got pushed around the block. And we used lightweight strollers when we travelled. Now the new strollers come with airline pilot-type instructions, and we need the help of an astronaut to open them.
When I told a friend that I was babysitting my grandchildren for a week, she admitted that she had been afraid she'd never get her grandchild out of his car seat. I've felt the same. The grandchild even had to show me how to release the seatbelt. This newest generation will never do anything without a seatbelt. My two-year-old granddaughter is able to climb in her stroller and immediately secure the safety belt herself.
When my daughter gave me instructions, she told me the four-month-old drinks when he's thirsty and sleeps when he's tired. The challenge was the stroller in which I had to place his car seat with him buckled(扣紧) in, while remembering the diaper(尿片) bag, rain cover and sun cover. And that was only when I was taking him on an outing, packing the groceries into the bottom of the stroller.
Early morning and late afternoon, the transportation of the day was the double stroller. Each child had to be buckled in and adjusted so that kicking each other was not an option. It wasn't easy to push the stroller on city streets and get through traffic lights. I felt like a long-distance truck driver, with the arm muscles to match.
After a week of it, I was getting pretty good, and had a new appreciation of those mothers who pack the coffee shops. I smiled outside the cafe, but the thought of negotiating the stairs and the lineup with my two-person spaceship had me drinking from a sippy cup outside.
24. What headache in grandparenting does the author face
A. Learning how to use smart devices. B. Operating complicated baby strollers.
C. Finding lightweight strollers for long travels.
D. Teaching grandchildren to follow instructions.
25. What made the author's outing challenging according to paragraph 3
A. Managing multiple items all at once. B. Carrying too many groceries back home.
C. Feeding the four-month-old baby on time. D. Matching different covers with the stroller.
26. Why does the author mention a long-distance truck driver
A. To describe her daily routine. B. To highlight the extreme physical effort.
C. To suggest the heavy traffic on the street. D. To emphasize the difficulty of a driver's job.

A. She gained physical strength from the work.
B. She regretted taking on the babysitting task.
C. She felt confident in handling tough situations.
D. She realized the struggles of daily caregivers.

Many well-known places in Chicago stand on sites with rich histories. For example, the Thompson Center replaced the Sherman House Hotel, and Regenstein Library now sits where the first sustained nuclear reaction took place in 1942. However, discovering the history of ordinary streets or homes is much harder.
A project at the University of Chicago aims to change this. Called the Chicago Urban Heritage Project, it uses century-old Sanborn fire insurance maps and modern machine learning to uncover the city's past. These detailed maps show buildings, materials, and land use across Chicago over time. Students digitize the maps to create an interactive system that lets users explore how neighborhoods have changed.
The project began as a way to help students study the city more deeply. Early research focused on streets like 55th and 63rd, which were once lively commercial areas but later transformed into quieter residential zones due to urban renewal. Representing these changes required detailed maps from different decades.
At first, creating such maps was slow and labor-intensive. Student Parker Otto improved the process by writing Python code to identify buildings in scanned maps and change them into digital items using QGIS. This allowed the project to expand beyond a few streets to larger parts of the city.
Today, students continue the work by turning historical data into user-friendly digital maps. These maps show buildings, construction types, and even past uses, helping users understand the history of specific locations.
So far, about 40% of Chicago has been mapped. The project has also led to interesting discoveries, such as identifying the former home of Al Capone. More importantly, it reveals how transportation changes, demolition(拆毁), and urban planning reshaped neighborhoods. The data is already influencing modern development plans by showing that some areas once hosted much higher density and activity.
At its core, this project tries to offer people a clearer picture of the hidden local history as well as the gradual evolution of urban areas.
28. Why is the Chicago Urban Heritage Project launched
A. To boost the youth's passion for Chicago. B. To demonstrate Chicago's global influence.
C. To promote well-known landmarks in Chicago.
D. To help better understand Chicago's ordinary buildings.
29. What contribution did Parker Otto make to the project
A. He helped to train the participants. B. He quickened the creation of the digital map.
C. He focused the project on specific neighborhoods.
D. He introduced new historical sources unavailable before.
30. What aspect of the project is discussed in paragraph 6
A. Its achievement. B. Its final aim. C. Its next move. D. Its challenge.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. The Classical Architecture in Chicago
B. The Importance of Modern City Planning
C. Old Maps Recover Chicago's Hidden Urban History
D. Machine Learning Changes the Way of Making Maps
D
Tree-planting has been widely seen as an effective way of binding(固持) carbon as CO levels rise in the atmosphere. But now researchers are warning that forests on nutrient-poor land won't be an additional carbon sink in the long term. As forests age, their uptake of CO declines and each time forests are planted, there is a risk of additional carbon being released from the soil.
Scientists have now measured how much biomass(生物量) grows under air with hoisted CO concentrations in several long-term field experiments. Growth stimulation was poor or missing when the plants lived in poor soil, in some cases after only ten years.
“The total biomass that binds carbon was not stimulated more by the higher CO levels in our experiments over time. Exactly when growth slowed down depended on various factors, but an important one was how much nitrogen(氮) the soil contained,” says Louise Andresen, a researcher at the University of Gothenburg.
Another factor not previously taken into account is that some trees die and thus stop binding CO . Instead, their carbon is released early. While there has been debate about the size of our forests' capacity to reduce the greenhouse effect in the past, this study provides a more complete picture.
The researchers also warn that the actual planting of trees can have major negative effects. If machines roll in to prepare the soil for planting, there is a high risk that the carbon bound in the soil will be released into the atmosphere.
Where the soil had a low concentration of nitrogen, the biomass stopped increasing after a few years of growth. “We now know that we humans can't just silence our conscience(良知) by planting forests; in the long term it doesn't actually help. The only thing that will help is for humanity to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions,” says Louise Andresen. “When you take the whole ecosystem, the soil's conditions and the whole life cycle of the plant into account, many ecosystems do not increase the amount of carbon they bind.”
32. What restricts the carbon-binding capacity of aging forests
A. The lack of soil nutrients. B. The high concentration of CO .
C. The rapid growth of biomass. D. The influence of climate change.
33. What does the underlined word “hoisted” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Reduced. B. Unchanged. C. Increased. D. Limited.
34. What's the outcome of using machines in tree-planting
A. It affects the natural life cycle. B. It may speed up forest aging.
C. It causes productivity improvement. D. It might lead to more carbon release.
35. What should we do according to Louise Andresen
A. Study soil composition extensively. B. Plant diverse trees.
C. Cut down on greenhouse gas release. D. Apply technology to farming.

How to Handle On-the-Spot Confrontation
Imagine someone suddenly criticizes you out of nowhere. 36 If you have social anxiety, your default(默认) mode might be to freeze, apologize, or run away. But keeping the peace externally often means starting a war inside yourself, leading to regret. However, you do not have to let fear of conflict run your life. Here are three immediate steps you can take to give your brain space to think and respond accordingly.
Step 1: Force a Smile
When confronted(对峙) with conflict, you likely experience negative emotions like anger or shame. 37 While it sounds completely counter-intuitive(反直觉的), smiling serves two purposes. First, it physically centers you, helping to pause the emotional flood. Second, it completely trips the other person up, as they probably expect you to yell back.
Step 2: Repeat Their Words
When attacked, we often feel pressured to respond instantly. However, speaking too quickly usually leads to statements we later regret. To avoid this, buy yourself some time. 38 You can say, “So, you are saying that I should not have done this, correct ” This gives your brain a few seconds to process the information. Meanwhile, some people will realize how unreasonable they are being once they hear their own words.
Step 3: Ask Yourself Three Questions
Before you give the person a piece of your mind, run through three questions. First, did I actually do something wrong If so, explain your thought process calmly. Second, why does this person feel this way Instead of letting anger rule, define their emotion for them. By labeling their feelings, they will feel heard and are more likely to back off. 39
40 If you find it too difficult to follow these steps in a heated moment, do not bottle up your emotions. Go home and write your thoughts down to release that energy. The more you practice standing your ground calmly, the easier it will become.
A. Third, will he turn out to be my friend in the end
B. It makes your brain go blank and your blood boil instantly.
C. You are expected to let the other person know how you feel.
D. Finally, how can I resolve this so I walk away without conflict
E. Learning to manage on-the-spot confrontation is a journey that takes time.
F. A highly effective way to do this is to repeat back what the person just said.
G. It is nearly impossible to make reasonable decisions when ruled by these feelings.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At the end of Willow Street stood an old theater that most people in town had stopped noticing. The small brick building had faded red walls and tall wooden doors that were always locked, with a weathered lantern hanging above the entrance and swinging slightly in the wind. Most people passed it every day without looking up, but I never did.
My grandmother used to tell me stories about that theater. Years ago, before modern cinemas arrived, it had been the liveliest place in town. On summer evenings, crowds filled every seat while children sat near the stage, and when the puppets(木偶) moved under the warm lantern light, the whole room seemed alive with excitement.
By the time I grew old enough to visit it, however, the theater had already fallen silent. The building looked less like a theater but more like something time had quietly abandoned, and most people had long stopped talking about it.
One afternoon in art class, our teacher showed us photographs of traditional stage performances across the country. The images were full of life—actors in bright costumes, musicians playing the drums, and audiences leaning forward in anticipation. As I looked at those glowing stage lights, I suddenly thought of the old theater.
After school, I searched online and found an article written nearly twenty years earlier. It described how the theater had once been renovated(翻新) by the town cultural office and was meant to be preserved as a cultural stage. Yet over time, that promise had quietly disappeared.
The next afternoon, I returned to Willow Street and stood before the locked doors. Through the dusty window, I could barely see the edge of the stage and a curtain hanging unevenly. The silence inside felt heavy. I couldn't just stand by and do nothing. The following day, I brought my camera and took photos of the broken lantern and the chained doors. Then I began asking people about the theater. Some remembered watching performances there as children, while others recalled taking part in school shows on that stage. That made me realize the theater still mattered to the town.

I made up my mind to give the old theater a new life.

Months later, the theater was nicely repaired and lit up again.

One possible version:
Dear David,
I'm writing to share an exciting experience with you. Recently, my research group has successfully completed a project called "Campus Plant Exploration".
To collect data, we spent two weeks exploring every corner of our campus, taking photos, and identifying various plant species using mobile apps. After gathering the information, we turned to our biology teacher to ensure accuracy and then classified the plants into different categories. Finally, we compiled all the pictures and descriptions into a digital booklet.
Through this project, I have gained a wealth of knowledge about plants and developed a deeper appreciation of nature around us. More importantly, my teamwork and problem-solving ability have been greatly improved.
Have you ever done any similar projects at your school I'd love to hear about them!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
I made up my mind to give the old theater a new life. I put together the photos I had taken and collected the warm memories from local people, and then made a simple display board covered with photos and residents' stories. I placed it in the community center and shared the stories online, calling on everyone to protect our forgotten cultural treasure. Many townspeople were deeply touched and left encouraging messages. Motivated by their support, I gathered my photos and records and went to the town cultural office. The officials were amazed by the theater's precious value among the local people and promised to arrange for a professional restoration team to repair and redecorate the old building.
Months later, the theater was nicely repaired and lit up again. The weathered lantern above the entrance was fixed and shone warmly in the wind, while the faded red walls were repainted and the dusty windows were cleaned. The old stage hosted student puppet shows, memory-sharing meetings, and community events, bringing laughter and warmth back to Willow Street. No longer was it a silent, abandoned building; it became a heartwarming place connecting the town's past and present. Thanks to our joint efforts, the old theater woke up again, carrying on its warm old story for the whole town.

M: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our campus meeting. Today, I'm glad to introduce an exciting volunteer opportunity for all freshmen at our university. We are launching the "Green Campus Project" this semester. This project aims to reduce plastic waste and promote recycling in our dormitories. We need volunteers to help organize weekly recycling events and give short presentations to students about environmental protection. It doesn't matter what your major is. As long as you are enthusiastic about protecting our environment, you are welcome to join us. It is a fantastic way to make new friends and develop your leadership skills. If you are interested, please visit our university website and fill out the application form. Please do not call the office, as our staff are currently busy preparing for the upcoming sports meet. The application ends on October 12th. The final list of volunteers will be announced on October 15th on the notice board. We look forward to working with you to create a cleaner and greener campus. Thank you for your time!
