Wander Tea Trails Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka equals tea in people’s minds. Now visitors can walk in the footsteps of historic tea planters on the new, nearly 200-mile Pekoe Trail, the country’s first long-distance walking route. Starting just outside Kandy, it follows the 19th-century tracks upon which workers transported freshly picked leaves. Hikers pass through hill towns and tea plantations and can stop to taste a cup of Ceylon tea.
Cruise (乘船游览) an Epic River Colombia
About 80 percent of Colombians live in the river basin of the Magdalena, which flows for nearly a thousand miles from the Andes to the Caribbean. Ama Waterways’ new cruises on the river journey upstream during seven-night trips from Cartagena to Barranquilla. Performances of vallenato music and visits to a stilt-house village highlight the region’s culture along the impressive waterway.
Sleep on Water Tofino, British Columbia
The newly reopened Tofino Wilderness Resort is a peaceful base from which to explore the western coast of British Columbia. Through guided whale-watching trips or visits to the Freedom Cove artists’ shelter, the Ahousaht share with guests their philosophy, hishuk ish ts’awalk (“everything is one”), celebrating the interconnectedness of people and nature in a land they’ve occupied for thousands of years.
Explore Ancient Art Algeria
Tassili n’Ajjer National Park in Algeria is known for its unique sandstone landforms and over 15,000 ancient carvings. Early humans created images of elephants, giraffes, and rhinos.

Filling your cup isn’t easy. We live in an age where exhaustion is worn like a badge, and burnout is celebrated. When you’re a business owner, rest simply doesn’t happen unless you schedule it in.
When I started my business, I was already a mother and a wife, and it took destroying my health for me to learn how to fill my cup. Like many others, I became an entrepreneur because I was after flexibility — which is why, when I woke up four years later with a medically-prescribed (医嘱的) heart rate monitor and a severe anxiety diagnosis, I knew that everything was about to collapse around me. I handed the business over to one of my managers and walked away from everything I had built. From then on, learning how to fill my cup became the change that brought me to my happily ever after.
Today, I coach small businesses and one of the most important survival strategies I consider a must-have for entrepreneurs is figuring out how to refill your cup. There’s no one-size-fits-all. Some people might love a bubble bath, but others might not. As your needs change, so should the way you refill your cup.
I teach people to rebuild a connection to themselves by paying attention to what they’re really needing. It often appears in the words that follow “I am”. When you start seeing the statement “I am” as a boundary, it changes everything. Take a simple phrase, like “I am tired”. Instead of simply seeing that as a statement, recognize the need behind it — rest. Adjust your day’s agenda to the needs behind those “I am” statements. If you realize you haven’t rested enough, you can postpone office work and take a screen-free walk in nature instead.
These days, I build daily rhythms that keep my cup full. I enjoy using essential oils in my office, walking along the beach, spending time with friends who also run businesses, and sharing family responsibilities with my husband. These practices aren’t luxuries; they are survival strategies that allow me to show up fully for my clients, my family, and myself.
24. Why did the author decide to give up running her business
A. She had to change due to poor health.
B. She longed for an unrestricted free life.
C. She intended to work as a full-time coach.
D. She wished to spend more time with her family.
25. What can we learn about “I am” statements in paragraph 4
A. They urge people to reflect on past plans.
B. They teach people to control their emotions.
C. They allow people to identify their real needs.
D. They help people to express themselves clearly.
26. According to the text, “refill your cup” most probably refers to .
A. an escape from reality B. a focus on social bonds
C. a pursuit of fixed daily routines D. a gain in energy and mental well-being
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Power of Positive Thinking B. Life After Entrepreneurial Burnout
C. A Better Way to Organize Your Day D. Recharging Yourself in a Right Way
C
As the Chinese submersible Fendouzhe dived deeper, Weishu Zhao — an microbiologist at Shanghai Jiao Tong University-glimpsed creatures glowing green, yellow, and orange against the dark. Upon reaching the sea floor, more than 10,000 meters down, the team switched on the submersible lights to reveal “a profound and mysterious blue” filled with drifting creatures. “At that moment,” Zhao says, “I knew immediately that the deep ocean must be a much more thriving habitat than we had imagined.”
The Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench (海沟), the deepest of the world’s trenches, has long fascinated scientists and adventurers alike. To reach those depths, researchers used Fendouzhe, which Douglas Bartlett, a deep sea microbiologist, describes as “an engineering miracle.” Capable of carrying three people to the very deepest parts of the ocean, the vessel (船) is equipped with a pair of robotic arms and a sample basket, enabling it to collect hundreds of samples in a single dive. Between August and November 2021, Fendouzhe made dozens of dives in the Mariana Trench and neighboring regions, bringing back numerous samples.
“An incredible level of diversity was uncovered,” Bartlett says, referring to one new study that identified more than 7,000 new species in the Mariana Trench, 89% of them new to science. The study co-author Mo Han says these species have evolved strategies to survive despite darkness and a scarcity of nutrients. “Life finds more than one way,” Han says.
Besides revealing a thriving ecosystem, the researchers also witnessed disturbing signs of human activity. During their dives, Zhao explains, the team came across plastic bags, beer bottles, and soda cans — and even a nearly undamaged laundry basket at the deepest part of another seafloor chasm, the Yap Trench. “This was deeply shocking to us,” Zhao says. But they also discovered that deep-sea microbes seem to have a knack for breaking down pollutants and using them for energy, she says, suggesting these organisms “might offer new solutions to current human environmental pollution problems.”
28. What is mainly presented in paragraph 1
A. The scene the researchers saw. B. The equipment used in the dive.
C. The history of deep-sea exploration. D. The challenges faced by the researchers.
29. What can we know about Fendouzhe
A. It tests samples during dives. B. It operates without human pilots.
C. It’s China’s most advanced vessel. D. It has finished many deep-sea dives.
30. According to Mo Han, what’s the most impressive aspect of the new-found species
A. Their ability to glow. B. Their rapid reproduction.
C. Their survival approaches. D. Their remarkable diversity.
31. What might be the focus of the future study according to the last paragraph
A. Technology for deep-sea trash collection.
B. The impact of human trash on deep-sea life.
C. Microbes’ potential to reveal the ecosystem.
D. Microbes’ transformation of pollutants into energy.
D
Gen Z is changing the rules of work, and the results are redefining what professional success looks like in 2025. According to a new Glassdoor report, “career minimalism” is at the heart of this shift.
In Glassdoor’s survey of more than 1,000 U. S. professionals, a striking 68% of Gen Z respondents said they wouldn’t pursue management if it weren’t for paycheck or title, signaling a rejection of the traditional corporate climb favored by previous generations and a belief that management is something of a poisonous chalice (圣杯).
The survey, however, is somewhat at odds with other data collected by Glassdoor. Daniel Zhao, chief economist for the company, told Fortune that an earlier report had found Gen Z entering the ranks of management at the same rates as older generations did. “Management is not for everybody, and that’s okay,” he said, “but it is still seen as the best path for climbing the career ladder.”
What the new survey suggests is that management is now seen as a career-ladder move, not something good in its own right. Gen Z approaches life’s traditional milestones with “reasoned skepticism”. They are hungry for coaching and welcome in-office collaboration yet also desire the death of the nine-to-five mentality and embrace flexibility.
If Gen Z isn’t less ambitious yet isn’t thrilled about corporate management, where’s that energy going The report cited Harris Poll findings that 57% of Gen Z currently have a side hustle (副业) compared to 48% of millennials and 31% of Gen Xers.
Side hustles are central to Gen Z’s identity, offering creative or activist outlets that main jobs cannot supply. For many, the “day job” simply finances the “passion project” — as one Glassdoor community member put it: “I always joke that I don’t dream of labor… If people were truly passionate about their job, it wouldn’t pay anything. Passion is for your five-nine after the nine-five.”
When Gen Zers do move into management, Glassdoor finds that they’re rewriting the traditional book. Gen Z is reconsidering what it means to be successful at work in this moment. They’re not rejecting ambition — they’re redirecting it toward sustainable career paths that prioritize both financial security and personal fulfillment.
32. Why is Daniel Zhao quoted in paragraph 3
A. To draw attention to a new concept. B. To confirm the accuracy of the report.
C. To raise awareness of a worrying trend. D. To offer another perspective on the survey.
33. What might a typical Gen Zer do
A. Make critical remarks. B. Leave work no later than 5.
C. Seek guidance from seniors. D. Avoid working with colleagues.
34. What factors may Gen Z consider in side hustles
A. High pay and grand titles. B. Short hours and easy work.
C. Personal identity and flexibility. D. Benefits and working conditions.
35. What is the professional success defined by Gen Z
A. Earning money with meaning. B. Winning power through effort.
C. Dropping promotion for hobbies. D. Staying put for financial security.

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。
Last spring, my two daughters, Nina, 10, and Ruby, 8, had developed a habit of constantly wanting more. During a car ride home from school, they chattered endlessly about what their friends had. “Mom, Lily got the newest tablet for her birthday,” Nina sighed. “Can we go to the water park this weekend ” Ruby asked hopefully. When I gently explained that we needed to save money, their faces fell into familiar disappointment.
That evening at dinner, the complaints continued. “Why do we always have the same food ” Ruby pushed her plate away. Nina joined in, comparing our modest home to her friend’s larger house. Finally, I’d had enough. “Girls,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm, “we have a roof over our heads, money in our pockets, and almost everything we want in the supermarket. Do you realize how lucky we are ” But they just looked at me blankly. They didn’t believe me. To them, “lucky” meant having what others had — and we didn’t have enough.
My work often took me overseas. For years, I’d traveled to rural communities in East Africa, supporting education programs through the charity I worked for. I’d witnessed roofs leaking, children sharing worn pencils and not having enough food for lunch. There were no proper desks and chairs in the classroom. I’d been out there to help, but there was still a lot of work to do in some remote schools. I’d told my girls stories from my trips, and they’d always listened with curiosity — but stories were different from reality.
That night, I lay awake thinking. A local teacher I’d met in Uganda had repeatedly invited me to bring my family. Perhaps it was time.
The next morning at breakfast, I made my announcement. “Girls, we’re going to Uganda together. For two weeks.”
Nina and Ruby stared at me, stunned. Then came the excitement — not for the lesson I hoped they’d learn, but because they imagined an African adventure.
Weeks later, we arrived. Our first night was spent under mosquito nets in a shabby guesthouse.

第一节 参考范文
Should Students Study in Groups When Preparing for Exams
Nowadays, there is a heated discussion over whether students should study in groups when preparing for exams.
Opinions are divided on the question. Some students hold the view that group study is beneficial for exam preparation. To begin with, they can share learning resources and solve difficult problems together. Besides, group discussion helps them stay motivated. However, others prefer studying alone. They argue group study may get distracted and waste time. If they study alone, they can arrange their review plan freely and concentrate more without disturbance.
As far as I’m concerned, we can make good use of both methods. We can turn to group study to clear up confusing points, and spend private time going over knowledge to strengthen our memory before exams. Only in this way can we maximize our revision efficiency.
第二节 读后续写参考范文
The next morning, we headed out to a remote school with supplies. As we approached, the girls fell silent. The school was nothing more than a row of mud-walled huts with rusty iron sheets for a roof. Children sat on the bare floor, sharing worn pencils and writing on small slates. Nina and Ruby stared, their eyes wide with disbelief. When we began handing out notebooks and pens, the local kids gathered around, smiling warmly despite their obvious hardship. One girl held Ruby’s hand and showed her how to write in the dust when paper ran out. Ruby looked at me, her lips trembling. For the first time, she seemed to understand what“enough”really meant.
Upon returning to the U.K., I noticed evident changes in Nina and Ruby. They no longer complained about dinner or compared our home to others’. One evening, Ruby carefully wrapped half of her sandwich and said, “I’ll save it for tomorrow.” Nina began turning off lights and collecting old clothes in a bag marked “For Uganda.” When a friend showed off a new phone, Nina just smiled and said,“We have more than we need.”At parents’ evening, their teacher told me they had started a small charity project at school. Watching them sleep that night, I realized they had finally learned what I had failed to teach with words: gratitude is not about having more, but about seeing what we already have.

1.
M: Excuse me, could you tell me where the bank is, please
W: Just past the square down there. It’s beside a post office, and on the other side, there’s a school. No, no, it’s actually a supermarket.
M: Thank you.
2.
W: I need to go back. I’ve forgotten something.
M: If it’s money, I can lend you some.
W: Thanks. I have my credit card. But I can’t find my shopping list anywhere in my bag.
3.
W: How long will it take to fix the car
M: About one hour. You can sit over there and have a cup of coffee.
W: No, thanks. I need to go find my father. I’ll be back later.
4.
W: You must’ve gotten wet waiting for the bus.
M: No, I brought an umbrella but didn’t use it because I went to the bus stop with a shelter before the rain arrived.
5.
W: How should I wear my hair to the dance
M: How about wearing it straight That looks nice and simple.
W: Or maybe I should do it in big waves No, I think you’re right. I’ll have it done super straight. Simple is always better.
6. 7.
M: Stella, I didn’t get on the basketball team. I’m very disappointed with myself.
W: No need, Chris. It was the first time you’d ever tried out, and you were probably nervous.
M: That wasn’t the problem. I had never practiced shooting with my left hand, so you can guess how bad I was at it.
W: Well, now that you know what your weakness is, you can work on it, and I’m sure you’ll do better next time.
M: Thank you. You really comforted me.
8. 9. 10.
M: Wow, that looks like an expensive camera, Jessica.
W: Well, it wasn’t cheap, but it was on sale. I saved some money from the presents I received from my relatives, which was almost enough. And my parents paid the rest.
M: But why spend all that money on a camera
W: Because I wanted a camera that could help me learn how to take better pictures. I’m really fond of photography. And although I’m not sure whether I want to take it up as a career, I do take it seriously as a hobby.
11. 12. 13.
M: Amanda, what on earth made you move to the countryside
W: Well, I’ve always dreamed of being a writer. So I finally thought I should give it a try.

W: Yes, I do. But I need peace to write. The city noise was killing my creativity. I couldn’t focus for even an hour.
M: What about money Writing doesn’t pay well at first.
W: I’ve earned plenty working as a lawyer all these years. Now I can use the money to make my dream come true. Besides, I’ve already rented a small house with a garden. It costs much less than my city apartment. And when I’m stuck for ideas, I can work there.
M: That sounds like a plan.
14. 15.
M: Now, could you please tell me about some of the outdoor activities during the festival
W: Of course, sir. What would you like to know first
M: Wild swimming, what’s that
W: It just means swimming in natural waters rather than a swimming pool.
M: Okay. In a lake or a river, for example.
W: Yes, there’s a beautiful lake just outside the town, and that’ll be the place for swimming. There’ll be lifeguards on duty, so it’s suitable for all ages. And finally, there’ll be a walk in some nearby woods every day. The leader is an expert on insects. He’ll show some living in the woods and explain how important they are for the environment.
M: Sounds great.
W: And if you’d like to read about how the preparations for the festival are going, the festival organizer is keeping a blog. Just search for the festival website, and you’ll find it.
M: Well, thank you very much for all the information.
W: You’re welcome.

The local weather in Los Angeles is forecasting clear conditions upon our arrival, with temperatures expected to be in the mid-seventies. For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened. For your entertainment, we will be showing an in-flight movie in about an hour. Individual screens are located in the back of each seat, and extra headphones are available from the flight attendants. In a minute, the flight attendants will begin the meal service, so sit back, relax, and enjoy your trip.
