The world we live in is a very interesting place. Each place has its own unique features. Here are 4 unique places across the world that are a must-visit.
Salar De Uyuni
Location: Bolivia
Best time to visit: July to October
How to reach: Fly or take a train to Uyuni and then take a hired vehicle to the lake
Salar De Uyuni is the remains of a prehistoric lake that dried off and left behind bright-white salt. This is the world’s largest salt pan. And when a thin film of water gathers on the surface, it is also the world’s largest natural mirror. The best sight can be observed from the central island.
Lake Natron
Location: Tanzania
Best time to visit: June to August
How to reach: Fly to Tanzania and book a guided tour of Rift Valley of which the lake is a part
Animals that die in this African lake are turned into statues, through calcification. This is the reason why this lake is also known as the “Petrifying Lake” (石化湖). And because of the high alkaline (碱性的) collection, the lake looks red in color, especially during summer.
Die Rakotzbrücke
Location: Germany
Best time to visit: May to September
How to reach: Fly to Dresden and take a train to Gablenz, where you can take a taxi to the bridge
Constructed in the 19th century, the Devil’s Bridge is famed for its unique construction accuracy, with the bridge and its reflection merging into a complete and perfect circle, no matter where you see it from. It seems that the makers of the bridge emphasized more on its aesthetics than its utility.
Spotted Lake Khiluk
Location: Canada
Best time to visit: April to October
How to reach: Fly to British Columbia and take a train to Osoyoos
Spotted Lake Khiluk is the most mineralized lake in the world. The lake is spotted with 365 separate pools arranged in a strange pattern. Each of these spots holds a unique and highly concentrated chemical content and is said to cure different diseases.

When Afghanistan banned girls over 12 from singing publicly in March 2021, Nila, then14, refused to stay silent. In response to the controversial decision, she recorded a protest song, which went viral as part of the #IAmMySong movement, and then the policy was reversed soon afterwards.
Nearly four years later, her relentless advocacy earned her the 2024 International Children’s Peace Prize, honoring her dedicating her teenage years to fighting regressive restrictions against Afghan women and girls. “If women’s rights are suffering in one part of the world, the whole world will suffer in one way or another, ” Nil a stated before the award ceremony. “This is something that is left unrecognized when we talk about girls’ education in Afghanistan because we think of it as a problem just in Afghanistan. ‘Oh, it’ s just a country over there; it’ s far from our country, ‘ ” she added.
Despite the incredible hardship of leaving her homeland, Nila’s commitment to fighting for Afghan girls never ceased. Nila, now 17 years old, after fleeing to Canada, has worked to provide a voice for other Afghan girls through her organization, Her Story, a platform for girls from Afghanistan to share their stories and raise their voices.
“We were all impressed and amazed by the spirit of Nila,” said Marc Dullaert, the founder and chair of the KidsRights Foundation. “She had the courage to put her song online, to initiate and start the singing movement. But also the resilience after fleeing with her family to Canada, she still kept on advocating for Afghan girls, not only in Canada but also worldwide.”
“The resilience of Afghan girls motivates me,” she said. “With so much restriction and limitation they’re still going; they’re still holding onto that sense of hope. I think I should be the last person who thinks of giving up.” Nila is now in the process of applying for university and hopes to study law.
4. What did Nila do in response to Afghanistan’s ban on girls?
A. She founded Her Story to voice for the girls.
B. She recorded a protest song that started a movement.
C. She fled to Canada immediately to voice for the girls.
D. She organized a protest march that started a movement.
5. Which of the following best describes Nila according to Marc Dullaert?
A. Diligent and intelligent. B. Humble and aggressive.
C. Selfless and courageous. D. Ambitious and considerate.
6. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A. Consider giving up as a last resort. B. Consider giving up at the last moment.
C. Be least likely to consider giving up. D. Be most likely to consider giving up.
7. What can be a suitable title for the passage?

Wild animals are equipped with a variety of techniques to avoid becoming lunch for a bigger animal, also known as a predator (捕食者) in nature. The most well-known methods include the classic fight and flight as well as freeze.
A team of researchers wondered whether closeness to people might impact those survival strategies. “We often see that animals are more tolerant around us in urban areas, but we don’t really know why.” says evolutionary biologist Dan Blumstein. “Is it individual plasticity, meaning individuals change their fear of us and that leads to tolerance? Or can there be an evolutionary factor involved?”
To find out, Blumstein and his colleagues combined information from 173 studies of over 100 species, including mammals, birds, fish and even mollusks. It turns out that regardless of evolutionary ancestry, the animals react in a similar way to life among humans: they lose their anti-predator characteristics. That pattern is especially pronounced for plant-eating animals and for social species. This behavioral change is perhaps unsurprising when it’s intentional, the result of domestication or controlled breeding. But it turns out that urbanization alone results in a similar change, though around three times more slowly.
The main point is: we’re essentially domesticating animals by urbanization. We’re selecting for the same sorts of characteristics that we would if we were actually trying to domesticate them. If the urbanization process helps animals better co-exist with people, it could be to their benefit. But if it makes them more defenseless to their nonhuman predators, it could be a real problem. Either way, these results mean that city living has enough of an influence on wild animals so that evolutionary processes kick in. Those reductions in anti-predator characteristics become encoded in their genes. We’re changing the population genetics one way or another.
What the researchers now wonder is whether the mere presence of tourists in less urbanized areas can cause similar changes in wild animals. If so, serious questions exist for the idea of ethical, welfare-oriented eco-tourism. If we wish to help animals keep their anti-predator defenses, the researchers say, we might have to intentionally expose animals to predators. It’s just yet one other way that we’re changing the world around us.
8. The research conducted by Blumstein is aimed at _________.
A. explaining why animals exhibit increased tolerance to human presence.
B. exploring the mystery of animals’ well-known anti-predator behaviors.
C. studying how nearness to humans affects animals’ survival techniques.
D. comparing the roles of individual plasticity and evolutionary factors.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. Domesticated animals in urban areas are less tolerant to humans.
B. Urbanization strengthens animals’ natural defenses against predators.
C. Wild animals living in cities rarely lose their anti-predator characteristics.
D. Plant-eaters and social species have weaker defenses against predators in cities.
10. What should animal caretakers do to prepare a rescued monkey for return to the wild?
A. Deliberately adapt the monkey to environments with predators.
B. Repeatedly expose the monkey to urban environments.
C. Train the monkey to tolerate human presence occasionally.
D Intentionally keep predators’ defensive strategies.
11. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To advocate for the coexistence of animals and humans in cities.
B. To remind people to help animals survive properly.
C. To criticize the ethical, welfare-oriented eco-tourism.
D. To entertain people with a surprising scientific finding.
D
Mason Currey’s interest in rituals grew out of his inability to write without distraction. Currey, a Los Angeles-based writer, became fascinated with the working habits of famous writers whose days were seemingly occupied by creative work. How were they so devoted and consistent with their craft? What magical brain powers did they possess that he didn’t?
In 2013, Currey published Daily Rituals: How Artists Work, a compendium (汇编) of mini-biographies that documented the unusual habits and lives of artists. It turns out, even great writers like Franz Kafka and Virginia Woolf found writing to be an arduous task. What made the work a little bit easier, he discovered, was their commitment to a daily ritual. This practice, however, is not exclusive to the creative class, nor does — or should — it only operate in the realm of work. With life returning to normal, rituals, whether personal or shared, can help enrich people’s lives.
Anyone can devise a simple ritual and integrate it into their day, week, or even month. This encourages a mindful approach to basic tasks. It can be as simple as taking a walk at a certain time of day, baking bread, or cleaning your space. You might not feel moved or changed by a ritual the first time you attempt one; you might be self-conscious or distracted. This is where repetition or experimentation could help. Currey’s morning ritual for writing, for example, starts with him waking up at 5: 30 am. He goes to the kitchen, pours himself a cup of coffee and sits down to write at his desk with the hood of his sweatshirt pulled up. Some days, the process feels more like a slog than others, but the early morning habit installs a sense of calm. The repetition ensures an easy transition to his desired writerly mindset.
Currey describes a ritual as an activity that eases a person into a focused mindset, a state that is beneficial for thinking, creating, or just being. “Rituals create and mark a transition towards a different kind of mental or emotional state, ” he said. This can look different for every person, but it’s helpful to approach rituals as a calming, meditative activity that allows the participant to be physically and mentally present.
12. What initially sparked Mason Currey’s interest in rituals?
A. His desire to become a famous writer. B. His struggle to write without distractions.
C. His fascination with the lives of artists. D. His need to document unusual habits.
13. What can be learned about daily rituals from paragraph 2?
A. They are only effective for famous artists and writers.
B. They work miracles for nothing except people’s work.
C. They can benefit people beyond the creative field.
D. They lose their value once life returns to normal.
14. How does repetition contribute to practicing rituals?
A. It helps individuals overcome initial distractions. B. It guarantees immediate emotional transition.
C. It replaces the need for attempting new habits. D. It makes rituals integrated into daily routines.
15. According to Curry, what’s the key function of rituals?
A. To replace traditional meditation practices. B. To enhance creative thinking through repetition.
C. To help people achieve higher productivity. D. To enable shifts in psychological states.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The world is primarily designed for right-handed individuals, yet why does approximately one-tenth of the population prefer the left? ___16___
The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families, it’s assumed that left-handedness has a genetic component to it. ___17___ In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it’s kind of random.
Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures. ___18___ In some areas, the left hand became known as the “unclean” hand.

In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. ___19___ A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.
___20___ People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed, including Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Charlie Chaplin. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well.
Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now; instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in.
A. Left-handedness used to be perceived as a disability.
B. In other words, left-handedness is an inborn attribute.

D. In Ghana, using the left hand for gestures or exchanging items is considered offensive.
E. The unfavorable implications of the use of the left hand vary significantly across cultures.
F. What drives people to prefer their left hand for routine activities over their right?
G. Fortunately, modern societies have largely moved away from their past negative views of left-handedness.

“You can’t leave the back part ____33____,” noted Mr. Johnson.

Ethan was a single father, raising a seven-year-old son alone. Whenever his boy came back hurt after playing with his friend, he would feel deeply sorry for his dead wife, the helplessness and grief coming in waves.
This occurred on the day he was on business, leaving the child alone.
In order to catch the train, he hurried out without accompanying his child to breakfast. He was worried about the child all the way and upset, not knowing if he had his meal and cried. He kept phoning his child even when he arrived at the destination. But his child always sensibly told him not to worry about him. However, because he was worried and upset, he set foot on the way home after he hurriedly handled the affairs.
When he got home and saw the child had slept soundly, he sighed with relief. The journey made him tired out. When he was about to sleep, he was astonished to find there was an overturned (打翻的) bowl of soaked noodles under the quilt. “This child!” Flying into a rage, he fiercely spanked (打屁股) his son sleeping soundly. “Why don’t you obey to Daddy? You are so naughty, making the quilt dirty! Who will wash it for you?” It was the first time he punished his boy after his wife’s death.
“I haven’t . . . ” the child argued as he sobbed, “I’m not naughty. This . . . this is the supper for Daddy. ” It turned out that in order to meet the hour of Daddy’s return, the child soaked two bowls of noodles, one for himself, the other for Daddy. But because he was afraid his Daddy’s noodles would turn cold, he placed them under the quilt to keep them hot.

When Afghanistan banned girls over 12 from singing publicly in March 2021, Nila, then14, refused to stay silent. In response to the controversial decision, she recorded a protest song, which went viral as part of the #IAmMySong movement, and then the policy was reversed soon afterwards.
Nearly four years later, her relentless advocacy earned her the 2024 International Children’s Peace Prize, honoring her dedicating her teenage years to fighting regressive restrictions against Afghan women and girls. “If women’s rights are suffering in one part of the world, the whole world will suffer in one way or another, ” Nil a stated before the award ceremony. “This is something that is left unrecognized when we talk about girls’ education in Afghanistan because we think of it as a problem just in Afghanistan. ‘Oh, it’ s just a country over there; it’ s far from our country, ‘ ” she added.
Despite the incredible hardship of leaving her homeland, Nila’s commitment to fighting for Afghan girls never ceased. Nila, now 17 years old, after fleeing to Canada, has worked to provide a voice for other Afghan girls through her organization, Her Story, a platform for girls from Afghanistan to share their stories and raise their voices.
“We were all impressed and amazed by the spirit of Nila,” said Marc Dullaert, the founder and chair of the KidsRights Foundation. “She had the courage to put her song online, to initiate and start the singing movement. But also the resilience after fleeing with her family to Canada, she still kept on advocating for Afghan girls, not only in Canada but also worldwide.”
“The resilience of Afghan girls motivates me,” she said. “With so much restriction and limitation they’re still going; they’re still holding onto that sense of hope. I think I should be the last person who thinks of giving up.” Nila is now in the process of applying for university and hopes to study law.
4. What did Nila do in response to Afghanistan’s ban on girls?
A. She founded Her Story to voice for the girls.
B. She recorded a protest song that started a movement.
C. She fled to Canada immediately to voice for the girls.
D. She organized a protest march that started a movement.
5. Which of the following best describes Nila according to Marc Dullaert?

Wild animals are equipped with a variety of techniques to avoid becoming lunch for a bigger animal, also known as a predator (捕食者) in nature. The most well-known methods include the classic fight and flight as well as freeze.
A team of researchers wondered whether closeness to people might impact those survival strategies. “We often see that animals are more tolerant around us in urban areas, but we don’t really know why.” says evolutionary biologist Dan Blumstein. “Is it individual plasticity, meaning individuals change their fear of us and that leads to tolerance? Or can there be an evolutionary factor involved?”
To find out, Blumstein and his colleagues combined information from 173 studies of over 100 species, including mammals, birds, fish and even mollusks. It turns out that regardless of evolutionary ancestry, the animals react in a similar way to life among humans: they lose their anti-predator characteristics. That pattern is especially pronounced for plant-eating animals and for social species. This behavioral change is perhaps unsurprising when it’s intentional, the result of domestication or controlled breeding. But it turns out that urbanization alone results in a similar change, though around three times more slowly.
The main point is: we’re essentially domesticating animals by urbanization. We’re selecting for the same sorts of characteristics that we would if we were actually trying to domesticate them. If the urbanization process helps animals better co-exist with people, it could be to their benefit. But if it makes them more defenseless to their nonhuman predators, it could be a real problem. Either way, these results mean that city living has enough of an influence on wild animals so that evolutionary processes kick in. Those reductions in anti-predator characteristics become encoded in their genes. We’re changing the population genetics one way or another.
What the researchers now wonder is whether the mere presence of tourists in less urbanized areas can cause similar changes in wild animals. If so, serious questions exist for the idea of ethical, welfare-oriented eco-tourism. If we wish to help animals keep their anti-predator defenses, the researchers say, we might have to intentionally expose animals to predators. It’s just yet one other way that we’re changing the world around us.
8. The research conducted by Blumstein is aimed at _________.
A. explaining why animals exhibit increased tolerance to human presence.
B. exploring the mystery of animals’ well-known anti-predator behaviors.
C. studying how nearness to humans affects animals’ survival techniques.
D. comparing the roles of individual plasticity and evolutionary factors.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. Domesticated animals in urban areas are less tolerant to humans.
B. Urbanization strengthens animals’ natural defenses against predators.
C. Wild animals living in cities rarely lose their anti-predator characteristics.
D. Plant-eaters and social species have weaker defenses against predators in cities.
10. What should animal caretakers do to prepare a rescued monkey for return to the wild?
A. Deliberately adapt the monkey to environments with predators.
B. Repeatedly expose the monkey to urban environments.
C. Train the monkey to tolerate human presence occasionally.
D. Intentionally keep predators’ defensive strategies.
11. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To advocate for the coexistence of animals and humans in cities.
B. To remind people to help animals survive properly.
C. To criticize the ethical, welfare-oriented eco-tourism.
D. To entertain people with a surprising scientific finding.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述随着城市化进程的发展,人类和动物之间的关系更加紧密,但是动物的反捕食者特征在这一过程中却退化甚至失去了。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““We often see that animals are more tolerant around us in urban areas, but we don’t really know why.” says evolutionary biologist Dan Blumstein. “Is it individual plasticity, meaning individuals change their fear of us and that leads to tolerance? Or can there be an evolutionary factor involved?”(“我们经常看到城市里的动物对我们更宽容,但我们真的不知道为什么。进化生物学家Dan Blumstein说。“这是个体的可塑性吗?意味着个体会改变对我们的恐惧,从而产生宽容?”还是有进化的因素?”)”可知,Blumstein的研究目的是探讨人类接近如何影响动物的生存策略。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It turns out that regardless of evolutionary ancestry, the animals react in a similar way to life among humans: they lose their anti-predator characteristics. That pattern is especially pronounced for plant-eating animals and for social species.(结果表明,无论进化背景如何,动物在与人类共同生活时表现出相似的反应:它们失去了抗捕食者特征。这种模式在植食性动物和群居物种中尤为明显)”可知,植食性动物和群居物种在城市环境中抗捕食者特征减弱。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If we wish to help animals keep their anti-predator defenses, the researchers say, we might have to intentionally expose animals to predators.(研究人员说,如果我们希望帮助动物保持它们的反捕食者防御能力,我们可能不得不故意让动物暴露在捕食者面前)”可知,为了让猴子重新适应野外环境,动物管理员应该有意识地让它接触捕食者环境。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章开头提到了Blumstein的研究,该研究的研究目的是探讨人类接近如何影响动物的生存策略。接下来,文章进一步探讨了城市化对野生动物抗捕食者行为和基因的影响,例如动物在城市环境中失去抗捕食者特征,并且这些变化可能被编码到基因中。文章最后提出,如果希望帮助动物保持防御能力,可能需要采取特定措施(如让动物接触捕食者)。即文章的目的是提醒人们帮助动物正确生存。故选B。

Mason Currey’s interest in rituals grew out of his inability to write without distraction. Currey, a Los Angeles-based writer, became fascinated with the working habits of famous writers whose days were seemingly occupied by creative work. How were they so devoted and consistent with their craft? What magical brain powers did they possess that he didn’t?
In 2013, Currey published Daily Rituals: How Artists Work, a compendium (汇编) of mini-biographies that documented the unusual habits and lives of artists. It turns out, even great writers like Franz Kafka and Virginia Woolf found writing to be an arduous task. What made the work a little bit easier, he discovered, was their commitment to a daily ritual. This practice, however, is not exclusive to the creative class, nor does — or should — it only operate in the realm of work. With life returning to normal, rituals, whether personal or shared, can help enrich people’s lives.
Anyone can devise a simple ritual and integrate it into their day, week, or even month. This encourages a mindful approach to basic tasks. It can be as simple as taking a walk at a certain time of day, baking bread, or cleaning your space. You might not feel moved or changed by a ritual the first time you attempt one; you might be self-conscious or distracted. This is where repetition or experimentation could help. Currey’s morning ritual for writing, for example, starts with him waking up at 5: 30 am. He goes to the kitchen, pours himself a cup of coffee and sits down to write at his desk with the hood of his sweatshirt pulled up. Some days, the process feels more like a slog than others, but the early morning habit installs a sense of calm. The repetition ensures an easy transition to his desired writerly mindset.
Currey describes a ritual as an activity that eases a person into a focused mindset, a state that is beneficial for thinking, creating, or just being. “Rituals create and mark a transition towards a different kind of mental or emotional state, ” he said. This can look different for every person, but it’s helpful to approach rituals as a calming, meditative activity that allows the participant to be physically and mentally present.
12. What initially sparked Mason Currey’s interest in rituals?
A. His desire to become a famous writer. B. His struggle to write without distractions.
C. His fascination with the lives of artists. D. His need to document unusual habits.
13. What can be learned about daily rituals from paragraph 2?
A. They are only effective for famous artists and writers.
B. They work miracles for nothing except people’s work.
C. They can benefit people beyond the creative field.
D. They lose their value once life returns to normal.
14. How does repetition contribute to practicing rituals?
A It helps individuals overcome initial distractions. B. It guarantees immediate emotional transition.
C. It replaces the need for attempting new habits. D. It makes rituals integrated into daily routines.
15. According to Curry, what’s the key function of rituals?
A. To replace traditional meditation practices. B. To enhance creative thinking through repetition.
C. To help people achieve higher productivity. D. To enable shifts in psychological states.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。美国作家 Mason Currey 通过研究艺术家工作习惯发现,建立日常仪式能有效提升专注力与创造力,普通人亦可设计个性化仪式并坚持实践来提升专注力,继而提高生活效率。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Mason Currey’s interest in rituals grew out of his inability to write without distraction.(梅森·科里对仪式的兴趣源于他无法专心写作)”可知,Currey对仪式的兴趣源于他自身写作时难以专注的问题。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This practice, however, is not exclusive to the creative class, nor does — or should — it only operate in the realm of work. With life returning to normal, rituals, whether personal or shared, can help enrich people’s lives.(然而,这种做法并不是创意阶层所独有的,也不是——也不应该——它只在工作领域发生。随着生活回归正常,仪式,无论是个人的还是共同的,都可以帮助丰富人们的生活)”可知,日常仪式可以使创意领域以外的人受益。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“You might not feel moved or changed by a ritual the first time you attempt one; you might be self-conscious or distracted. This is where repetition or experimentation could help.(第一次尝试的时候,你可能不会被某种仪式感动或改变;你可能会感到难为情或心烦意乱。这就是重复或实验可以提供帮助的地方)”以及后文以 Currey的早晨写作为例,说明重复的习惯能帮助他“轻松过渡到专注的写作心态”,可知,在实施仪式初期,重复可起到克服实施者分心的作用。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Currey describes a ritual as an activity that eases a person into a focused mindset, a state that is beneficial for thinking, creating, or just being. “Rituals create and mark a transition towards a different kind of mental or emotional state, ” he said. This can look different for every person, but it’s helpful to approach rituals as a calming, meditative activity that allows the participant to be physically and mentally present.(Currey将仪式描述为一种使人进入专注心态的活动,一种有利于思考、创造或只是存在的状态。“仪式创造并标志着向一种不同的精神或情感状态的过渡,”他说。这对每个人来说都是不同的,但把仪式当作一种平静、冥想的活动是有帮助的,它能让参与者的身心都在场)”可知,Currey将仪式定义为帮助人们进入专注心态的活动,并表示仪式创造并标志着向不同心理或情感状态的过渡。选项D“实现心理状态的转变”直接对应这一核心功能。故选D。

The world is primarily designed for right-handed individuals, yet why does approximately one-tenth of the population prefer the left? ___16___
The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families, it’s assumed that left-handedness has a genetic component to it. ___17___ In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it’s kind of random.
Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures. ___18___ In some areas, the left hand became known as the “unclean” hand. Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. ___19___ A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.
___20___ People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed, including Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Charlie Chaplin. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well.
Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now; instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in.
A. Left-handedness used to be perceived as a disability.
B. In other words, left-handedness is an inborn attribute.
C. Why do some parents encourage their left-handed children to embrace their natural tendencies?
D. In Ghana, using the left hand for gestures or exchanging items is considered offensive.
E. The unfavorable implications of the use of the left hand vary significantly across cultures.
F. What drives people to prefer their left hand for routine activities over their right?
G. Fortunately, modern societies have largely moved away from their past negative views of left-handedness.

Dear students,

【答案】Dear students,
As AI advances, some students rely heavily on it for assignments without engaging in deep thinking. While AI can facilitate learning, over-dependence on AI may weaken our critical thinking, limit originality, and reduce problem-solving skills, ultimately harming academic growth.
To use AI rationally, treat it as a supplement, not a replacement. It can be employed to spark ideas or clarify doubts. Nevertheless, simply copying AI-generated answers is inadvisable, as the material should be analyzed, reflected upon, and understood by our minds.
Let us combine AI with independent analysis, which will definitely enhance efficiency while fostering intellectual development on our learning journey!
Sincerely,
Li Hua

Ethan was a single father, raising a seven-year-old son alone. Whenever his boy came back hurt after playing with his friend, he would feel deeply sorry for his dead wife, the helplessness and grief coming in waves.
This occurred on the day he was on business, leaving the child alone.
In order to catch the train, he hurried out without accompanying his child to breakfast. He was worried about the child all the way and upset, not knowing if he had his meal and cried. He kept phoning his child even when he arrived at the destination. But his child always sensibly told him not to worry about him. However, because he was worried and upset, he set foot on the way home after he hurriedly handled the affairs.
When he got home and saw the child had slept soundly, he sighed with relief. The journey made him tired out. When he was about to sleep, he was astonished to find there was an overturned (打翻的) bowl of soaked noodles under the quilt. “This child!” Flying into a rage, he fiercely spanked (打屁股) his son sleeping soundly. “Why don’t you obey to Daddy? You are so naughty, making the quilt dirty! Who will wash it for you?” It was the first time he punished his boy after his wife’s death.
“I haven’t . . . ” the child argued as he sobbed, “I’m not naughty. This . . . this is the supper for Daddy. ” It turned out that in order to meet the hour of Daddy’s return, the child soaked two bowls of noodles, one for himself, the other for Daddy. But because he was afraid his Daddy’s noodles would turn cold, he placed them under the quilt to keep them hot.

【答案】参考范文
Hearing that, Ethan hugged his son tightly without a word, only pale moonlight spilling through the window. His hands trembled against the boy’s small back, tears streaming silently into the child’s hair. The overturned noodles, the dirty quilt—every detail now tore his heart like the messy noodles. “Forgive me, ” he choked out in a regretful voice. The child curled into his chest and murmured softly, “I just wanted you to eat warm food, Daddy. ” Ethan held his son’s face, wiped away his tears, and then pressed his forehead to the child’s.
The next morning, Ethan got up early and walked into the kitchen quietly. As he was preparing pancakes for breakfast, his son stepped into the kitchen. Hearing the small footsteps, he turned and smiled. “Let’s cook together! ” he said, handing his sleepy son a spoon. The boy’s eyes lit up, grinning with a wide mouth, and joined his Daddy excitedly in no time. “Look, Daddy! It’s a perfect pancake! ” the child exclaimed, pointing at the messy pancake he made. Ethan laughed, ruffling his hair. “Yes, teamwork makes perfect, just like ours. ” Ethan felt peace settled in his heart, a flicker of hope. He promised himself to face changes and challenges alongside his son.
