Putting ourselves in others’ shoes is the most basic quality of a decent person. For years, I could never fully understand why so many people failed to practice this simple rule. It seemed easy enough to imagine others’ situations before passing judgment, until a small family incident forced me to reflect deeply on my own blind spots.
Last Tuesday evening, I lost my temper over my 14-year-old son Leo. His teachers had sent me three warning messages that week: he frequently handed in unfinished homework and arrived late for morning classes almost every day. I blamed him sharply for being lazy and lacking self-discipline, without giving him a single chance to explain. Instead of shouting back, Leo lowered his head and spoke in a soft, tired voice. Our home lies more than 25 kilometers away from his school. The bus ride alone takes one hour each way. The bumpy, noisy bus leaves no quiet space for him to focus on schoolwork. By the time he gets home after rush-hour traffic, it is already dark, and he is too exhausted to finish heavy assignments quickly. His words struck me silent all at once. I suddenly realized I had only focused on his bad performance, totally ignoring the tough struggles hidden behind his mistakes.
This conversation brought me a clear insight: everyone can recite a great many wise truths, yet putting them into real action is surprisingly hard. I have long told my family and friends to stay considerate, but whenever I am seized by negative emotions, I instinctively jump to blame others. I fix my eyes on visible results rather than digging out unseen difficulties others are going through. The theory of empathy sounds simple, but self-control against sudden anger is the biggest barrier standing in our way.
I have gradually formed two small habits to avoid prejudiced judgment. Before blaming anyone, I will consciously picture myself standing in their position and feel their pressure firsthand. Besides, I force myself to pause for fifteen full seconds before saying any critical words. That short pause can calm my sudden anger, break my fixed prejudice, and leave space for real understanding between people.
4. Why does the author talk about the value of empathy at the very beginning
A. To lead in the following personal story. B. To create an unexpected sharp contrast.
C. To provide related supporting statistics. D. To prove a viewpoint with opposite examples.
5. What was Leo’s attitude when faced with the author’s blame
A. Annoyed and defensive. B. Calm and wronged.
C. Confused and doubtful. D. Unconcerned and careless.
6. What is the greatest difficulty in practicing empathy
A. Lacking enough life experience. B. Being controlled by sudden bad emotions.
C. Having too many things to do. D. Failing to remember valuable life lessons.
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. Practical methods to avoid biased judgment.
B. Hidden harm of drawing quick conclusions.
C. The importance of patient communication with teenagers.
D. Long-term benefits of keeping silent when annoyed.
C
Most homes and offices decorate their spaces with potted houseplants, widely believed to remove harmful airborne chemicals, brighten dull environments and ease daily stress — seen as an all-around win for indoor life.
Yet a new study by environmental scientists at the University of York challenges this common belief. It finds common houseplants barely improve indoor air quality in real-life rooms. In poorly ventilated spaces, soil bacteria in some pots may even release small amounts of volatile(挥发性的) organic compounds, slightly raising pollutant levels instead of lowering them.
The research team tested 12 widespread houseplant species under both lab and real home conditions. In small sealed chambers(密封的房间), plants did absorb certain pollutants, as many earlier experiments had shown. However, in a regular-sized bedroom, a person would need to place more than 100 plants to achieve a meaningful reduction in pollutants — a number far beyond what most households keep. With the typical three to five plants per home, the removal rate of harmful chemicals stays below 5 percent.
“Houseplants bring real benefits for mood and attention,” said lead researcher Dr. Eleanor Hayes. “But their purifying power is hugely overstated. Counting on them to solve indoor air pollution will only lead to disappointment.”
The Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) is not oblivious to this conclusion. Its researchers drew a similar result years ago. Senior scientist Michael Torres argued houseplants should not be dismissed as worthless. “Improve home ventilation, and the tiny extra pollutants from potting soil won’t matter,” he said.
Torres added the association will never advise removing plants or stopping new purchases, as the comfort and joy they bring are irreplaceable. Instead, he suggests using natural ventilation(通风) and air purifiers for clean air, treating houseplants as a pleasant bonus rather than a solution.
8. What does the new study find about common houseplants
A. They greatly reduce indoor pollution risks.
B. They work better in well-ventilated offices.
C. They remove most airborne harmful chemicals.
D. They purify the air less effectively than widely thought.
9. What do the York researchers point out
A. 100 plants per room work noticeably.
B. Earlier studies were totally misleading.
C. Houseplants perform differently in places.
D. Most houseplants release harmful compounds.
10. What does the underlined phrase “counting on” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Benefiting from
B. Insisting on
C. Preparing for
D. Relying on
11. What does Michael Torres suggest
A. Stopping purchasing more houseplants.
B. Using proper ways to improve air quality.
C. Cutting down houseplants in most homes.
D. Removing plants in poorly ventilated rooms.
D
A team of psychologists from the University of Chicago conducted an experiment to compare the effects of natural sounds and common white noise on people’s sustained attention.
In the study, 212 adult participants were randomly divided into two groups. The nature sound group completed a 40 minute attention task with recordings of forest birdsong and gentle rainfall playing in the background. The control group performed the same task with standard white noise — a steady, uniform sound widely used in workplaces to reduce surrounding distractions. The task required participants to monitor a stream of numbers on a screen and press a button whenever a specific rare pattern appeared. Both accuracy and reaction speed were recorded as key measures of attention performance.
Overall, the nature sound group scored 12% higher on average in attention accuracy than the control group, with no significant difference in reaction speed between the two groups. When researchers divided participants by their self reported daily distractibility, the performance gap grew much wider. Among people who often struggled to stay focused in daily life, those in the nature sound group performed over 21% better than similar participants in the control group. For those with naturally strong concentration, the improvement was small and not statistically meaningful.
The researchers also tracked participants’ mood states before and after the task. Both groups reported similar levels of relaxation and positive feelings after finishing the test. This result indicated that the attention improvement was not driven by a better mood, but by the natural sounds themselves, which help the brain enter a gentle state of focus without requiring extra mental effort.
“Many people turn on white noise when they need to concentrate, assuming it is the most reliable choice,” said Dr. Lena Marlow, lead researcher of the study. “But our findings suggest natural sounds are a more effective option, especially for those who struggle with distraction. Small adjustments to our daily sound environment can bring noticeable improvements to work and study efficiency.”
12. What is a feature of the nature sound group in the experiment
A. They finished a shorter version of the task.
B. They worked with natural sound recordings.
C. They were tested only on reaction speed.
D. They were chosen from office workers.
13. Which group showed the most obvious performance improvement
A. The nature sound group with strong natural focus.
B. The control group with strong natural focus.
C. The nature sound group with high daily distractibility.
D. The control group with high daily distractibility.
14. Why did the researchers measure participants’ mood states
A. To judge how relaxing different sounds are.
B. To rule out mood as the cause of the results.
C. To test the influence of the task on feelings.
D. To measure the mental effort of the task.
15. What can we learn from the study’s findings
A. White noise does harm to people’s concentration.
B. Natural sounds can effectively help improve focus.
C. Sound has little effect on most people’s attention.
D. People with strong focus need no sound assistance.

47. 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。
Lila Parker, a 16 year old high school student, set off early on a rainy Saturday morning for a city wide speech contest 30 miles away. She had practiced for months and was eager to show her skills. Though the weather forecast warned of heavy rain in the mountain area, she took the scheduled bus, thinking the rain would lighten up soon. But things went worse than expected. Halfway through the mountain road, a small landslide blocked the highway, and all buses had to stop. Passengers were told the road would not reopen until the next day.
Unwilling to miss the contest, Lila decided to take a narrow forest path she had heard about, which could cut the journey short. She walked for an hour, but the pouring rain blurred her way. Worse still, she twisted her ankle on a slippery rock and could barely walk. As daylight faded, panic grew inside her. She tried to call for help, but there was no phone signal in the mountains. She limped to a broken wooden shelter by the path and huddled there, cold and helpless, wondering if she would make it to the contest.
Lila was woken by a soft voice. An elderly man in a green ranger uniform stood in front of her, holding a flashlight. He was Mr. Hale, a forest ranger who was doing his evening patrol. He gently helped her up and took her to his nearby ranger station. There, he dried her wet clothes, put a bandage on her ankle, and made her a cup of warm ginger tea. Lila told him about her speech contest, her voice filled with disappointment.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右。

Ranking My After school Life Priorities
When it comes to ranking after school activities in high school, I choose physical exercise first, followed by volunteer service, with interest clubs ranking last.
Physical exercise lays a solid foundation for our health and keeps us energetic for daily study. Volunteer service comes second, as it helps us develop social responsibility and practical life skills. Interest clubs rank last, since they mainly serve as a relaxing way to develop personal hobbies.
I believe balancing the three properly can make our high school life more rewarding and meaningful.
【答案】
Mr. Hale suggested that Lila take a lesser known mountain trail with him at dawn. He explained that the path, though rough, could bypass the landslide and lead straight to the contest venue. He would be on his morning patrol anyway and could guide her all the way. Grateful and relieved, Lila nodded repeatedly. At sunrise, they set off slowly. Mr. Hale walked slowly to match her pace, pointing out wild plants and telling her stories of the forest to ease her nervousness. By nine o’clock, they reached the contest hall just in time.
A week later, Lila came back to the ranger station with her first prize certificate. She handed Mr. Hale a handwritten thank you note, saying she would have given up without his help. Mr. Hale smiled warmly and said it was what anyone would do. Lila told him she had added his story into her speech, and it had touched every judge. That day, she learned that a small act of kindness could light up someone’s whole world, and she promised to pass on the warmth in the future.
