Florida State University art students recently designed interactive toys for animals at Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens. Their goal was to help the zoo animals stay happy and healthy, just like they would be in the wild.
This project came from a special course led by Professor Rob Duarte. Students worked in groups, each focusing on a different species: giraffes, Komodo dragons, or birds. They studied animal behaviours, researched safe materials, and made early models at the university's Innovation Hub. After receiving expert feedback from the zoo staff, they continued to improve their designs.
Senior student Kate Casey designed a feeding toy for giraffes. She made a large container with many holes arranged in a giraffe pattern. The container has two levels, which forces the giraffes to stretch their tongues and exercise their mouth muscles for a longer time. This mimics their natural search for leaves on thorny (多刺的) trees, turning feeding into a fun and healthy challenge. Another student, Audrey Lembo, created enrichment toys for birds that made them more active and playful.
When the students brought their toys to the zoo, they watched the animals interact under staff supervision (监督). The staff were deeply impressed by the students' work. Senior bird keeper Dannielle Mankas said the creativity and quality went far beyond her expectations. Animal well-being officer Alex Hunt added that helping animals live their best life is everyone's goal.
"Projects like this show how creative thinking and hands-on learning can connect people and institutions in ways that make a real difference," Duarte said. "It's about building bridges — between art and science, students and professionals, and the university and the broader community." The project also opened students' eyes to new career paths they had never considered before. Kate Casey said she never knew such jobs existed in animal enrichment and interdisciplinary(跨学科的) design.
24. What was the goal of the students' project
A. Staff training. B. Material testing. C. Animal welfare. D. Career exploration.
25. How did Kate Casey's toy benefit the giraffes
A. It increased their food intake. B. It sped up their feeding.
C. It protected them from storms. D. It stretched their tongues.
26. What does the underlined word "mimics" in paragraph 5 mean
A. Replaces. B. Copies. C. Improves. D. Discovers.
27. What is the main message of the last paragraph
A. The value of connecting different fields.
B. The difficulty of designing toys for animals.
C. The importance of hands-on student projects.
D. The need for more bio-art programmes.
C
Digital technology, ranging from smartphones and laptops to learning apps and AI tools, can effectively assist students' studies and daily lives. However, uncontrolled use produces numerous negative impacts. It disturbs students' attention, shortens sleep time, reduces physical activity and weakens independent learning skills. Importantly, these problems stem from misuse rather than the technology itself!
Unregulated technology use greatly lowers students' learning efficiency and quality. Classroom distraction stands out as the most common issue. According to OECD's PISA research, 30 percent of students get distracted by digital devices during most math lessons, which leads to poorer academic performance. To make matters worse, many students depend heavily on online search results and AI answers. They abandon key steps for deep learning, including careful reading, independent thinking, problem analysis and mistake correction. As a result, although their homework appears finished, they fail to build solid, in-depth knowledge.
According to a 2025 CDC (疾控中心) report, excessive screen time does great harm to teenagers' physical and mental health. Late-night gaming and social media use can seriously affect teenagers' sleep. Meanwhile, prolonged screen use takes up time for outdoor sports, walking and daily exercise, leaving students in poor physical condition. In addition, social media exposes teenagers to peer comparison and the fear of missing out, causing invisible mental pressures. A 2025 CDC analysis also proves that too much on-screen screen time is closely associated with teenagers' poor sleep, lack of exercise and negative mental states.
Thankfully, students can avoid these risks by developing scientific daily routines. Before studying, they need to keep phones away from desks, turn off distracting notifications and use only essential digital tools. Before bedtime, they should quit all online entertainment by a fixed time and charge their phones outside the bedroom. It is also advisable to finish course and housework before enjoying screen time. Instead of rejecting technology completely, proper management enables technology to better support students' learning and healthy growth.
28. What does the word "uncontrolled" underlined in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Unprotected. B. Unfinished. C. Uncontrolled. D. Unchanged.
29. What can we infer from the 2025 CDC analysis
A. Social media use reduces teenagers' mental stress.
B. Outdoor exercise removes screen-caused harm.
C. Staying up late mainly leads to poor health.
D. Off-screen screen time brings about health problems.
30. What is the author's attitude towards digital technology
A. Objective. B. Supporting. C. Critical. D. Doubtful.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. Long screen time harms teens' bodies and minds.
B. Proper digital use brings teens great benefits.
C. Digital tools are widely used in teens' study.
D. Digital technology brings harm yet solutions exist.
D
For over two thousand years, scientists and philosophers have been puzzled by a simple question: how can plants, without eyes, grow toward light While animals use eyes to detect the direction of light, plants seem to have no such organ. So how do they do it
Early Greek thinkers believed plants could sense and react to their environment — almost like animals. But Aristotle later argued that plants were passive, unable to perceive or respond to the world around them. His view influenced Western thought for centuries.
However, a team of European researchers has now uncovered the secret. They focused on Arabidopsis, a small weed commonly used in plant genetics. Using advanced imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy, the scientists measured how light passes through the plant's stem. Their results, published in a recent study, showed that the air channels between the plant's cells scatter the light, bending it significantly as it travels through the tissue. One researcher noted, "It's like the plant has thousands of tiny lenses." This scattering creates subtle differences in light intensity across the stem, allowing the plant to pinpoint the light's direction accurately.
In other words, the plant doesn't need eyes. Instead, it uses its entire body to sense light. This clever mechanism lets seedlings "see" where the light is coming from and adjust their growth toward it.
The findings not only solve an ancient mystery but also challenge Aristotle's idea that plants are passive. It turns out that plants have evolved a sophisticated way to perceive their environment — without the need for complex organs like eyes. They are far more active and adaptive than we once thought.
This research opens new questions for plant biologists. How are these channels formed How exactly do plants process the light information Understanding these mechanisms could help us learn more about how plants interact with the world — and perhaps even inspire new technologies in light sensing and robotics.
32. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph
A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting a puzzle.
C. By stating a phenomenon. D. By quoting a philosopher.
33. What is the key finding of the European researchers' study
A. Plant cells contain special proteins that respond to light.
B. Arabidopsis has a unique genetic structure for light sensing.
C. Light intensity varies significantly in different plant tissues.
D. Plants use air channels as tiny lenses to detect light direction.
34. What is the significance of the research findings
A. They explain the formation of air channels.
B. They reveal plants' passive growth pattern.
C. They challenge traditional views of plants.
D. They confirm Aristotle's theory about plants.
35. What might be the future impact of this research
A. Faster plant growth. B. Better light sensors.
C. Soilless leaf formation. D. More robot production.

In modern busy life, mental overwhelm has become common for many people. We often struggle with endless worries, many thoughts and trying to do too little that leave us mentally exhausted. 36 Thankfully, here are some practical and evidence-based ways to ease our mental pressure and regain calmness in daily life.
Write down your problems
Writing down what makes you feel stressed is more helpful than you think. Research has shown that expressive writing can reduce troubling thoughts and improve your working memory. 37 Just let your words flow freely on the paper without self-criticism. Doing this every day can prevent messy thoughts from piling up and weighing you down.
38
A recent study has found that people need nearly 23 minutes to fully regain focus after an unexpected disturbance. Frequent distractions will only leave you feeling nervous and inefficient. To solve this problem, you can set certain distractions like social media updates and email notices. Set fixed periods to deal with them so that you can save your cognitive energy for key tasks.
Connect physically.
Rather than keep to yourself when feeling stressed, try to stay close to people who care about you. 39 Studies have made it clear that warm physical touch can lower stress levels and improve your overall sense of well-being. Even small gentle touches can create a strong feeling of comfort and calmness.
Learn to refuse politely.
Overload often comes from taking on too many unnecessary responsibilities. You can list things you plan to say "no" to, such as after-work calls or meaningless events. 40 Only in this way can you put them into what really matters and improve your mental health.
A. Schedule interruptions.
B. Manage time reasonably.
C. This daily practice helps clear your mind effectively.
D. Saying no to extra assignments improves your work efficiency.
E. You can hug your family or hold hands with your close friends.
F. Such a state can greatly impact our mood and daily performance.
G. Learning to set proper boundaries saves your limited mental energies.

It was a cold winter afternoon. After school, I walked home alone as usual. Suddenly I noticed a small stray dog lying beside the street corner, trembling with cold. Its right front leg was injured, bleeding slightly. Passers-by walked by quickly, no one stopped to help it.
My heart softened immediately. I wanted to take it home, but my parents never allowed pets at home. I hesitated for several minutes. The dog looked up at me weakly, its eyes full of fear and expectation. Finally I made up my mind to take it home first and communicate with my parents later.
I wrapped the dog with my thick scarf carefully and carried it home gently. When my mother opened the door and saw the dirty wounded dog in my arms, she looked shocked and frowned. Just as I warned, Mom refused to keep the dog family, saying pets would make the house messy and spread bacteria. I felt sad and begged my mother to give the poor dog a chance.
Paragraph 1: Just then my father walked back home and heard what had happened.

Strive for Dreams, Sweat for Fitness
Dear fellow students,
Recently, many of us have been so occupied with exam preparation that we ignore physical exercise. Buried in endless papers, we easily feel tired and inefficient. So I urge all of us to work out regularly, for health is the foundation of academic progress.
Skipping rope is what I strongly recommend. It takes little space, and just 15-20 minutes a day can improve our heart function and refresh our minds, refueling our study. Even if time is tight, short indoor sessions also work.
Let’s put down our books for a while and move our bodies. Sweat today, shine tomorrow!

Paragraph 1:
Just then my father walked back home and knew what had happened. He bent down and looked at the weak dog carefully. After listening to my explanation, Dad patted my shoulder gently and told Mom that showing kindness to small animals was a good quality. He suggested keeping the dog temporarily until we found a warm adopter. Mom sighed and agreed reluctantly. We cleaned the dog’s wound, applied medicine and prepared warm milk for it. The little dog wagged its tail slightly to express thanks. Every day after school, I took care of the dog and changed its dressing on time.
Paragraph 2:
A week later, the little dog recovered completely. It became lively and lovely, always following me around the house. Mom gradually fell in love with it. Later we posted adoption information online, yet Mom finally decided to adopt it permanently. We named it Lucky. Lucky brought great joy to our family. Every evening it welcomed me at the door when I came back from school. This experience taught me that kindness can warm the world, and every life deserves to be treated gently.

10. M: Hello everyone. As we all know, our annual STEM Day on December 11th is just around the corner. This date is chosen because it celebrates the opening day of our school’s science center. But this year is going to be really special. Our former student and famous physicist Dr. James Anderson, who initiated the STEM Day, will return to join the celebration. Our STEM Day has grown into something far beyond traditional celebrations. Yes, you’ll still find classic fun like science quizzes, 3D-printed models display and machine learning books available in the library. But this year we’re launching an exciting new hands-on activity, a vex go tournament, where you’ll build, test and program a robot and compete before the audience. This year, anyone who completes a challenge gets a mini robotic set, a small reward to take home and explore. This celebration reminds us that STEM isn’t just subjects in class, but useful tools that shape our modern world. So mark your calendars, sign up at the front office and join the fun. Maybe you’ll understand why we science teachers get so excited about it.
