Sneha Sahu is an Indian local public servant who has devoted years to developing cheap green cooling methods to fight deadly summer heat waves. In many poor communities of her state, most public schools and low-income families cannot afford air conditioners. Every summer, temperatures often climb above 40℃ inside classrooms and small houses; students struggle to focus on lessons and elderly residents easily suffer from heat exhaustion. Driven by the tough living conditions of vulnerable (脆弱的) groups, Sneha started the creative Cool Roof Project four years ago.
Her core green solution is simple but effective: painting building rooftops with special white reflective paint to reflect most sunlight instead of trapping heat. Besides cool roofs, she added supporting eco-measures: planting native shade trees around buildings, fitting natural ventilation (通风系统) windows and collecting rainwater for watering plants. At first, lots of local school leaders and villagers doubted the low-cost green idea. They thought only expensive air conditioning could beat extreme heat and refused to cooperate. Sneha visited dozens of communities day after day, showing real test data of temperature drop and persuading people to give the green project a try.
Gradually, over 200 public schools finished cool roof transformation with community support. Inside these classrooms, indoor temperature falls 5℃ to 8℃ in hot summer without any electricity cost. As the project went smoothly, Sneha gained unexpected personal growth: she used to be shy and afraid of public speeches, but frequent community communication made her outgoing and skilled at organizing large-scale environmental activities.
Now the successful green cooling model is spreading to local social housing areas. Families living in these houses cut nearly half of their cooling-related electricity bills. Sneha’s small green practice has grown into a city-wide environmental campaign, inspiring more civil servants and young volunteers to design affordable eco-friendly ways against global heat waves. Her experience proves that cheap nature-based innovation can effectively help ordinary people survive extreme high temperatures.
24. What pushed Sneha Sahu to carry out the Cool Roof Project
A. Official orders and work requirements.
B. Poor people’s suffering from extreme heat.
C. Her personal research on new building materials.
D. Global climate’s requirement on heat prevention.
25. Why did local people refuse Sneha’s project at first
A. The project is expensive.
B. They preferred to plant trees.
C. They worried the damage of white paint.
D. They underestimated the effect of the green cooling.
26. What unexpected personal change happened to Sneha from the project
A. She built many new green schools nationwide.
B. She earned big profits by selling reflective roof paint.
C. She became sociable and good at organizing activities.
D. She was promoted by the state’s environment department.
27. Which word best describes Sneha’s character
A. Persistent. B. Humorous. C. Modest. D. Cautious.
C
When a subway train brakes (刹车), a large amount of energy is released as heat and wasted. However, the Metropolitan Transport Authority of Barcelona (TMB) sought to change that with its innovative “MetroCharge” project, which went into effect in December 2024. The core of this initiative relies on regenerative braking, a technology used in trains for decades, where electric motors switch function during deceleration (减速) to act as generators, changing the energy into electricity.
In Barcelona’s case, this captured electricity is not only used to power the trains and station facilities like lighting and escalators but is also sent up through electric wires to charge electric vehicles at street-level charging stations. According to TMB’s Jordi Picas, the system, which includes solar panels, currently covers the energy needs of 28 out of 163 metro stations, saving 6% of the metro’s total energy consumption. For a network serving an average of 2.3 million riders on a workday, this represents a significant energy recovery.
The project is designed to be highly efficient. Professor Alvaro Luna from the Polytechnical University of Catalonia points out that the localized nature of this recycling is key; since the charging stations are near the stations, the energy bypasses the general grid (输电网络), potentially allowing for lower charging prices for users. The system has the potential to recover about 30% of the energy consumed during braking, enough to charge up to 200 electric cars per day at a single station.
Despite the clear benefits, the project is not without its challenges. Experts note that its effectiveness depends on factors like train frequency and grid capacity, and the initial investment in facilities is substantial, though TMB expects to recover costs through energy savings in about four years. Nevertheless, the MetroCharge project provides a model for other packed cities looking to turn their transportation systems into urban power plants, addressing both transportation emissions and charging facility shortfalls.
28. Why does the author mention regenerative brakes
A. To suggest electric cars using this technology.
B. To criticize the Barcelona for not using this technology earlier.
C. To emphasize the innovation of MetroCharge in its urban planning.
D. To prove that Barcelona invented the regenerative braking system.
29. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3
A. The car-charging needs. B. The high efficiency of the project.
C. The potential threats to the market. D. The strong support from celebrities.
30. What concern does the author convey about the technology
A. It may cause safety problems for subway trains.
B. Its effectiveness is limited by various conditions.
C. It is too costly for the local government to afford.
D. It cannot produce enough energy for daily needs.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the MetroCharge project
A. Highly critical. B. Uninterested. C. Cautiously optimistic. D. Doubtful.
D
For years, people have believed that self-control is the key to happiness. We make New Year’s resolutions, hoping that by resisting temptation (诱惑), we will improve our lives. But new research challenges this common assumption, suggesting the relationship may actually run in the opposite direction.
A recent study published in Social Psychological and Personality Science followed 377 adults over two years, with three survey sessions spaced six months apart. Participants completed questionnaires measuring their self-control — the ability to resist temptation, start tasks, and stick with them — as well as their overall well-being, including feelings of happiness, self-worth, and appreciation of life.
The findings were striking. People who generally felt happier and more satisfied with their lives tended to have higher self-control overall. More importantly, higher well-being predicted stronger self-control six months later. However, the reverse (相反的情况) was not true: higher self-control at one point did not lead to better well-being later. This suggests that the relationship runs from well-being to self-control, rather than the other way around.
The researchers carefully accounted for the possibility that some people might simply rate themselves higher on everything. Even when they separated stable personality differences from changes within the same person over time, well-being still predicted later self-control, while the reverse did not.
A second, larger study of 1,299 adults in the United States replicated these findings. Once again, higher well-being predicted stronger self-control over time, while self-control did not predict later well-being.
Why might this be the case The research team suggests that feeling good helps build the mental and emotional resources people need to resist temptations and stay focused on long-term goals. When we are happy and satisfied, we have more energy and motivation to pursue what matters.
It is important to note that the research does not fully prove cause and effect, and other factors like stress or sleep may have impacted both well-being and self-control. However, the evidence consistently shows that well-being comes first.
32. What is the new finding about self-control and happiness
A. Self-control is the key to happiness. B. Happiness brings better self-control.
C. They have little relevant relationship. D. Happiness and self-control are the same.
33. How did the researchers carry out the first study
A. By collecting data over two years. B. By comparing two groups of adults.
C. By analyzing previous research results. D. By doing interviews with young adults.
34. What does the underlined word “replicated”in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Caused. B. Questioned. C. Ignored. D. Repeated.
35. What can be inferred from the passage about improving self-control
A. Focusing on willpower is the most effective method.
B. People should start by improving their well-being first.
C. Self-control cannot be improved at an extreme early age.
D. The research proves that self-control is completely random.

Build Daily Drawing Habits with Reward Rules
For most of my life, I have struggled to stick to drawing for more than a few weeks at a time, even though it’s something that I’ve always known to bring me joy and satisfaction. I’m not alone. Many art lovers give up drawing halfway mainly because repetitive practice feels boring and brings no immediate satisfaction. Setting proper reward systems is a science-backed way to stick to regular painting. 36 Here are practical reward strategies to keep your drawing enthusiasm lasting.
Set instant small rewards after finishing daily short drawing tasks.
Don’t aim for a complete artwork every day; finish a 15-minute outline first. 37 For example, you can enjoy your favorite drink or listen to a beloved playlist right after your daily drawing is done. Tiny treats activate brain’s happy chemical dopamine (多巴胺) and push you to pick up pencils next day.
38
Track your continuous drawing days on a habit calendar. Put a golden sticker each day you finish painting. When you collect 20 continuous stickers, reward yourself with new drawing pens or an art notebook you have long wanted. This long-term prize encourages long-term persistence instead of one-day passion.
Take social feedback as free spiritual rewards.
As beginners, we may lack the skills to pull off drawings that we’re genuinely proud of, so it’s important to send some positive feedback to our brain during or immediately after drawing to encourage us to return to it later. 39 Post your finished drafts on art communities or share works with painting partners. Friendly praise and useful advice from others serve as powerful inner motivation, far more lasting than snacks or small gifts.
Avoid overusing material rewards blindly.
Too many expensive prizes will make you draw only for gifts rather than love for art. External prizes are only temporary helpers to form art routines. 40
A. Mark continuous drawing progress and set stage rewards.
B. Immediate little rewards should match short daily drawing goals.
C. Most beginners don’t know how to design effective reward plans.
D. Showing works publicly brings you positive mental encouragement.
E. Material rewards are always the best choice for new painting learners.
F. Buying expensive painting tools helps improve your drawing skills quickly.
G. Finally your love for creation itself will turn into the biggest internal reward.

Abandoned and completely blind, Luna was found wandering alone on a cold street in late 2025. Local animal rescuers Sarah and Jake arrived on the scene and found the tiny cat shaking helplessly. She had no eyesight, no warm shelter, and no one to rely on. Most homeless blind cats struggle to survive alone, and Luna looked weak and hopeless.
The two rescuers had spent years saving injured and abandoned animals. Long hours of tough rescue work often made them tired and spiritually exhausted. They had seen too many sad cases and sometimes doubted whether their hard work was worthwhile. However, meeting Luna completely changed their mood and state of mind.
Unlike other scared homeless cats, Luna was gentle and trusting. As soon as Sarah held her in arms, Luna leaned her head on Sarah’s chest and let out a soft voice. She did not resist or struggle, even though she could not see anything around her. She seemed to sense the kindness from the strangers.
During Luna’s stay in the rescue center, she showed surprising bravery and optimism. She never complained about her bad fate. She learned to walk around the small room skillfully by feeling the wind and listening to sounds. Every time Jake and Sarah came to check on her, she would lift her head and stretch her body to greet them warmly.
Luna’s positive spirit deeply touched the two rescuers. Their daily tiredness disappeared every time they felt Luna’s trust. They realized that every rescue was meaningful. It was not just saving a small life, but also gaining warm spiritual power.
After three months of careful care, Luna recovered well. A warm family adopted her finally.

My Hands-On Holiday
During the summer vacation, I took on the role of a junior chef in my family’s kitchen, learning the whole process of making dumplings.
I have got the tricks for preparing the dough and seasoning the stuffings, which is the basic requirement for taste. I have also known how to fold and boil dumplings. This experience taught me the cooking is an art of patience. More importantly, I truly understand the effort behind every meal my parents prepare.
67.
This practical work not only built my life skills, but also deepened my love for my family.
One year later, Sarah and Jake received a special letter from Luna's adopter. The letter included several warm photos of Luna living a happy life. Though she still couldn't see, Luna was more active and confident. She loved playing with the family's little kid and always greeted people with a gentle voice. The adopter thanked them sincerely for saving such a lovely cat, who had brought endless happiness and warmth to the whole family and donated some money for their selfless work.
From then on, Sarah and Jake kept sticking to their rescue work with more passion. They no longer felt tired or confused about their job. They knew every small life deserved to be appreciated. Inspired by Luna, they also set up a small sharing program on the social media to tell people warm stories of rescued animals, hoping to call on more people to show kindness to homeless animals. More positive shares and responses on the media encouraged them to move on with no hesitation and doubt.

M: This year’s English festival opens with a short play based on a folk tale. Students meet in Room 305 every Tuesday and Friday after the last class to practice for the play. The director, Mr. Han, asks everyone to memorize lines by heart—no notes on stage. Costumes come from the art room: a blue coat for the fisherman, paper lanterns for the market scene. Lighting is simple—two desk lamps and a red high light. The hardest part isn’t speaking, but timing the pause before the storm scene. Last year they rushed it and the laugh landed wrong. This time, they practice the silence. If you want to watch, the show is on the last Friday of May, free for students, five yuan for guests. Don’t arrive late—the door closes when the drum beats. You’ll have a big ear feast and won’t regret your choice.
