During my second year of high school, I signed up for the school’s cross-country race — a five-kilometer run through the hills behind our campus. I had never 15 such a long distance before, but my elder brother had won the race the year before, and I wanted to 16 in his footsteps.
Training began six weeks before the race. Every morning, before the sun rose, I would jog around the track, counting my 17 and trying to ignore the burning in my lungs. Yet no matter how hard I trained, my times simply would not 18 . Some days I even ran slower than the week before.
One afternoon, feeling 19 , I sat alone on the grass and watched my classmates playing basketball. My coach, Mr. Li, noticed me and walked over. “You seem 20 ,” he said with a smile. I told him that no matter what I did, I could not seem to get any faster. “Maybe you are 21 too much attention to the clock,” he said, pointing toward the hills. “Running is not about 22 others. It is about discovering what you are 23 of.”
I took his advice. The next morning, I left my watch at home and ran toward the hills. Without the numbers, I began to 24 the world around me — the singing of birds, the smell of wet grass, the golden light spilling through the leaves. Running slowly became running freely. Strangely, the more I 25 the joy of the journey, the less tired I felt.
On the day of the race, I did not win. I crossed the finish line in the middle of the 26 , tired but strangely satisfied. My brother, waiting at the gate, 27 me a bottle of water. “So, how does it 28 to lose ” he joked. “I didn’t lose,” I said, smiling. “I found something better than a prize.”
Years later, whenever I face a 29 task, I remember that autumn morning. Success is not always measured by medals or 30 . Sometimes it lies in the quiet 31 that we are growing — one step, one breath at a time. The real victory is not crossing the line 32 but refusing to 33 running. And that is a lesson no scoreboard could ever 34 .

Every summer, I was sent to stay with my grandmother in her small village house. To be honest, as a teenager, I found those weeks endlessly boring — no Internet, no shopping malls, nothing but rice fields and cicadas.
Grandma, however, always had something planned. One morning she woke me before sunrise and handed me a basket. “We’re going to pick beans,” she said. I followed her down the narrow path, still half asleep, wondering why anyone would get up at five o’clock just for beans.
At the vegetable garden, she moved among the rows, showing me how to hold the bean and snap it off without hurting the plant. “See this one ” she said, pointing at a small leaf with a hole. “The insects have to eat too. We leave the outer leaves for them.” I looked at her in surprise. In my world, insects were pests to be dealt with; in hers, they were neighbors to share with.
As the weeks passed, I learned far more than farming. I learned to wait — for tomatoes to ripen, for rain to come, for dough to rise. Grandma never rushed anything. “Good things take their time,” she would say, which drove me crazy at first. I was a girl of instant messages and instant noodles; patience was a foreign language to me.
Then one evening, I sat with her on the wooden bench, watching the sky turn orange. She told me about her childhood, about losing her mother at twelve, about the years of hardship that had shaped her gentle hands. I suddenly understood that her patience was not passivity — it was strength, earned through years of storms.
When I returned to the city that autumn, I was different. I slowed down. I planted a pot of mint on my windowsill and watered it daily, waiting. When the first green leaves appeared, I felt a joy that no screen had ever given me.
Grandma passed away three years ago. But every time I watch something small and green push through the soil, I hear her voice: good things take their time. She planted more than vegetables that summer. She planted patience in me — and it is still growing.

With the world’s population growing and farmland shrinking, scientists are looking for new ways to feed our cities. One promising answer comes from an unexpected place: the skyscraper. Vertical farming — the practice of growing crops in tall, indoor structures — is changing the way we think about agriculture.
In a vertical farm, crops grow on shelves stacked one above another, under specially designed LED lights. Because the environment is fully controlled — temperature, humidity, light and even the nutrients in the water — plants can grow year-round, regardless of season or weather. A single vertical farm the size of a football field can produce as much food as a traditional farm sixty times its size.
The benefits go beyond space. Vertical farms use up to 95 percent less water than traditional farming, because water is recycled through the system. Since the farms are located inside cities, food travels only a few kilometers from farm to table, greatly reducing transport costs and carbon emissions. In addition, with controlled environments, crops need almost no chemical pesticides, which makes the food safer.
However, vertical farming also faces challenges. The biggest one is cost. Keeping thousands of LED lights running twenty-four hours a day requires large amounts of electricity, which makes the products more expensive than those grown in fields. Critics also point out that only certain crops — mainly leafy vegetables and herbs — are suitable for vertical farms at present. Rice, wheat and corn, which provide most of the world’s calories, still depend on traditional farmland.
Despite these challenges, the industry is growing rapidly. Companies in Singapore, Japan and the United States are building larger and more efficient farms, and new technologies are bringing costs down. Supporters believe that as renewable energy becomes cheaper, vertical farms will play an important role in feeding the cities of the future.
Whether vertical farming will replace traditional agriculture remains uncertain. But one thing is clear: in a world with limited land and a changing climate, growing food upward may be just as important as growing it outward.
45. What is special about vertical farming
A. Crops are grown in tall indoor structures. B. Crops are planted in skyscraper offices.
C. Farms are built on football fields. D. Food is sold inside tall buildings.
46. According to Paragraph 2, crops in vertical farms .
A. need more nutrients than usual B. rely on natural sunlight
C. grow faster than in nature D. are not affected by seasons
47. Which advantage of vertical farming is mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. It creates more jobs for farmers. B. It needs no electricity at all.
C. It reduces transport costs. D. It increases farmland area.
48. What is the main challenge of vertical farming
A. High energy costs. B. Lack of skilled workers.
C. Public distrust. D. Limited city space.
49. What’s the author’s attitude toward vertical farming
A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Dismissive. D. Cautiously optimistic.
Be honest: the moment you feel bored — waiting for a bus, standing in a queue, sitting through a dull class — what do you do If you are like most people today, you reach for your phone. Within seconds, the empty moment is filled with videos, messages, and news. The boredom disappears. But should we be so quick to drive it away
Psychologists define boredom as an unpleasant state in which we want to be engaged in something, but cannot find anything satisfying to do. For decades, boredom was seen simply as a problem to be solved. Recent research, however, suggests that this “useless” emotion may be surprisingly useful.
In a well-known study, researchers asked participants to copy phone numbers from a list for fifteen minutes — an extremely boring task. Afterwards, the group was given a creative task: to think of as many uses for a plastic cup as possible. Remarkably, the bored group came up with more creative ideas than a control group that had skipped the boring task. Boredom, it seems, pushes our minds to wander, and a wandering mind makes new connections.
Other studies have found similar results. Moments of boredom encourage us to plan for the future, reflect on our goals and even find our activities more meaningful afterwards. Some schools in Europe have introduced “device-free breaks”, during which students are encouraged to simply sit and think. Teachers report that students often return to class calmer and more focused.
This is not to say that boredom should be our constant companion. Long-term boredom is linked to anxiety and poor performance. The key, researchers say, is balance: instead of filling every silent second with digital noise, we should allow our minds occasional empty space. The next time you find yourself bored, put the phone back in your pocket. Let your mind wander for a while. You may be surprised where it takes you — a new idea, a forgotten memory, or simply a moment of peace in a noisy world. Boredom, in other words, is not the enemy of a good mind. It may be one of its best teachers.
50. What do most people do when they feel bored
A. They talk to strangers nearby. B. They reach for their phones.
C. They think about their goals. D. They watch the traffic outside.
51. In the study mentioned in Paragraph 3, the participants who copied phone numbers .
A. performed worse in the creative task B. refused to finish the boring task
C. produced more creative ideas D. felt too tired to think
52. According to Paragraph 4, “device-free breaks” help students .
A. finish their homework faster B. get along better with friends
C. learn more knowledge in class D. become calmer and more focused
53. What does the author suggest we do with boredom
A. Avoid it at all costs. B. Fill it with digital entertainment.
C. Give it some room in our lives. D. Treat it as a serious illness.
54. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage
A. Boredom, if properly handled, can benefit our minds.
B. Phones are the main cause of boredom. C. Creative people enjoy boring tasks more.
D. Schools should ban phones completely.

Haze Mabry, who has worked as a school keeper for thirteen years, walks into the school building every day and empties garbage cans, wipes down bathrooms and mops wet messes in the hallways.
Last Friday, after he arrived at the school, instead of finding garbage to clean up, he found almost 800 students lining the hallways with handmade cards, blowing noisemakers and singing a full-throated happy birthday to him. It was his 80th. As he walked the long hallway, some popped out of line to hug him. They handed him so many cards that they filled several large boxes. Touched by their enthusiastic expression of affection, Mabry thanked them all. “They’re like my children,” Mabry said.
On a regular day, students at the school sometimes come up to him to say they’re not feeling well or other times to tell him about something that happened at break. He knows most of the kids at the school, but can’t name each one. Some of them make him know them. Like Faith, who often forgets her backpack in the cafeteria, and Lucy, who just wants a hug.
“He won’t brag(夸耀) on himself, but it doesn’t matter what he’s doing or where he is, he will always stop what he’s doing to take care of a child if that child is having a bad day. If a child approaches him, he will pause to give that child his undivided attention. He’s the most loved one in this building,” said Lori Gilreath, a reading teacher.
Mabry works circles around all the students, cleaning up messes others don’t want to touch. He doesn’t expect a lot. Mabry said he hadn’t planned to do much for his milestone birthday, so he was happy the students had prepared the surprise celebration.
Over the weekend, he worked through the piles of handmade cards at his house. One card from a student stood out to him. It read: “Mr. Haze, you are my sunshine.”
