As technology continues to advance at an unbelievable pace, the role of AI has expanded into our daily lives, influencing how we work, create and even relax.
1 Imagine a world where AI handles your household chores. Smart appliances equipped with AI can sort wash and fold laundry, while others take care of the dishes and clean the floors.
These applications can save us time. By freeing us from the routine tasks, AI allows us to spend time and energy on what truly inspires us. 2 It enriches human life by allowing us to focus on what truly matters.
AI also has the potential to bring about changes to the way we work, perhaps giving us the opportunity to work less. 3 In this way, perhaps you can trial five-hour workday instead of working the traditional eight.
While AI offers numerous advantages, there is a risk associated with over-reliance on these technologies. 4 When AI becomes the primary source of ideas and innovation, the uniqueness of human creativity may be lost.
The use of AI in our lives should be approached with a balance between human well-being and creativity. While AI handles the ordinary, humans need to thrive in areas that require critical thinking and innovation. 5 .
A.The demand for workplace skills will also improve.
B.The balance ensures AI serves humans, rather than as opponents.
C.AI holds endless possibilities for more fulfilling life in the future.
D.AI can do simple and routine tasks you perform as part of your job.
E.Dependence on AI for creative work can decrease human creativity.
F.This transforms AI from a tool into an enabler of a more fulfilling life.
G.The essence of AI is to take over repetitive and time-consuming tasks.

Ways to Overcome Self-Doubt Once and for All
People all experience some periods of self-doubt in life. Self-doubt is when we are unsure about ourselves; it happens to us during normal days or whenever we are going to start something new in our life, like a new job or a new relationship. 11 It can even limit our potential and block our way to success. Now it’s time to be strong. Here are some strategies that we can use to overcome self-doubt.
Reflect back to past achievements.
Remember the time when we achieved something remarkable? Self-reflection is one of the best tools to remove self-doubt. It makes us remember that we once achieved something great, and it makes us believe that we can achieve that level of success again through concentrated efforts. 12 It’s wise to learn from our previous mistakes and move on!
Start journaling events.
In life, there will come many events that we are thankful for, especially our excellent achievements. 13 This journaling of events will be really helpful when we are doubting ourselves. Compare ourselves to the time when we achieved greatness, and convince ourselves that we can be that person again.
Seek professional help if necessary.
There are periods when we are too hard on ourselves — we don’t believe our goals and efforts are making for the betterment of our lives; this is self-sabotage — an extreme end of self-doubt. 14 Talk about our feelings often, and let all the negative emotions out; this will make us feel a lot better. 15
People always want to keep up with the Joneses. However, unrealistically drawing a parallel between others and us is a harmful act. Why would we identify ourselves with a family member, a friend, or our colleague when each of our lives is different? We should focus on ourselves and our own achievements, which will allow us to fulfill our goals without any worries.
A.Be our own biggest critic.
B.Never compare with others.
C.It is better to start keeping track of them.
D.Never live in the memory, but learn to strive from the past!
E.If not taken care of professionally, this can become a painful barrier.
F.Self-doubt isn’t that bad, which can motivate us and push us to be better in life.
G.Such a feeling will lead us into a dark situation where nothing seems to go right.

Research shows that quality solo (独自的) time boosts happiness, reduces stress, and improves life satisfaction. 16 With that in mind, we asked experts how to perfect the art of spending time alone.
Start with a low-risk outing. Write down what you’d like to do solo, ranked from the hardest activity to the least, says Jessica Gaddy, an enthusiastic solo traveler. Traveling internationally or attending a concert might be a 10, for example, while going to the park may be a three. 17
“My clients usually come back and say, ‘Oh, that wasn’t so bad at all,” Gaddy says.
Bring along a distraction (分散注意力的事物) at first. When you start going places alone, it can be helpful to have something to do, like reading a book or a journal. 18 As you get more comfortable, you’ll likely engage more directly with your surroundings.
19 On solo adventures, Samantha Elliott, a recent college graduate in a new city, tells herself that even though she may have arrived alone, she’s not actually there by herself. She’s surrounded by potential friends. That mindset shift has helped her meet lots of interesting people.
Celebrate your achievement. 20 When you get home, spend a few minutes celebrating the experience, Sanna Khoja, a psychologist, suggests. Give yourself credit for stepping outside of your comfort zone, even if it felt hard or if things didn’t go exactly as planned.
A.Turn to experts for help.
B.You can also attend a concert.
C.Focus on moments of connection.
D.Initially, distractions provide a sense of comfort.
E.It can even make you more productive and creative.
F.Then, find ways to make the easiest one less worrying.
G.You can think of going out alone as treating yourself to a date.

While yoga is known for enhancing balance, flexibility, and calmness, it’s often considered less effective for weight loss than other exercises. However, even non-intense yoga sustains lasting calorie burning after practice. 21 . Here’s more about how yoga is a complete body and mind workout.
Removing stress, Reducing pounds
Yoga helps manage stress, and studies show high levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (荷尔蒙), can lead to an increase in fat. Yoga has an impact on the body’s stress response and reduces the production of hormones linked to weight again. 22 . In one study, researchers found that practicing yoga seemed to impact the hypothalamus (下丘脑), reducing cortisol production. And another study found that doing meditative (冥想的) yoga reduced participants’ cortisol levels.
Making weight loss last
Recent research shows long-term yoga aids weight loss and boosts cognitive skills for a positive mood. Jessica, a Brown University professor, led a study on yoga’s practicability of weight maintenance. 23 . Jessica adds that someone experiencing a more positive mood may be less likely to overeat in response to negative emotions, or may be able to get back on track more easily after an overeating period, versus feeling guilty about overeating and continuing to engage in unhealthy practices.
24
A study found no difference in weight loss totals for participants practicing a gentle yoga versus a more energetic yoga. The best yoga is the practice that fits for you. ‘There are many accessible styles of yoga that meet you where you’re no matter what your size, age, physical challenge or background. 25 .
A.Practicing a gentle yoga
B.Choosing the right type
C.Everybody can benefit from a yoga practice
D.There’s no one style of yoga that’s best for weight loss
E.That’s because yoga’s other benefits can help with weight loss too
F.Several studies have confirmed that doing yoga does reduce cortisol levels
G.It shows yoga may enhance long-term weight loss via a more positive mood

In today’s fast-paced digital world, electronic waste, or e-waste, has become a significant environmental concern. Here are some tips to minimize e-waste.
Understand the impact of e-waste.
Before diving into solutions, it’s essential to understand the harmful effects of e-waste on the environment and human health. 26 E-waste refers to any discarded (丢弃) electronic device, ranging from smartphones and computers to household appliances. It contains dangerous substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can leach (过滤) into soil and water bodies, polluting ecosystems.
Choose refurbished (翻新的) electronics to minimize e-waste.
Refurbished electronics, such as laptops and smartphones, offer a greener alternative to buying brand-new devices. Refurbished devices go through thorough testing, repairs, and quality checks before being made available for sale. 27
Extend the lifespan (寿命) of your electronics.
28 Adopting proper maintenance practices, such as keeping devices clean and regularly updating software, can help extend their lifespan. Additionally, using protective cases and screen protectors can prevent physical damage.
Donate or sell unwanted electronics.
When you no longer need a functioning electronic device, consider donating it to someone in need or selling it to a reputable buyer. 29 By giving your electronics a second life, you contribute to reducing e-waste and enable others to access affordable technology. Ensure that you properly wipe any personal data from the devices before donating or selling them to protect your privacy.
Properly recycle e-waste.
When electronics reach the end of their usable life, it’s crucial to recycle them properly. 30 These facilities ensure that valuable materials are recovered and dangerous substances are dealt with safely. Look for certified recyclers who follow responsible recycling practices and stick to environmental regulations.
A.Many charitable organizations accept donations of electronics.
B.These products work just as well as new ones but don’t cost much.
C.Educating others about the importance of minimizing e-waste is important.
D.To reduce e-waste, we need to know what it is and what problems it causes.
E.This practice not only saves storage space but also reduces energy consumption.
F.Making your electronic devices last longer is an effective way to reduce e-waste.
G.Many places have e-waste recycling centres where you can drop off your old devices.

Fluoride (氟化物) is crucial because it helps fight cavities (蛀牙). Cavities occur when the bacteria in our mouths consume leftover food on our teeth, particularly anything sugary. As the bacteria eat these sugars, they release acid, which can remove minerals from our teeth’s hard surface, eventually creating cavities. 31 It strengthens the surface of our teeth and repairs some damage.
Watch out for this material.
If you suffer from canker sores (口腔溃疡) inside your mouth, you may want to look for a teeth cleaner that doesn’t contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). 32 Using an SLS-free teeth cleaner might help reduce canker sores in people who get a lot of them.
33
Activated carbon is often seen as a superior material for a variety of products, including teeth cleaner. But it can damage your outer layer and cause increased sensitivity.
How much to use?
34 You should wash out your mouth after you brush. But studies show that the fluoride in your teeth cleaner provides the biggest benefit if you don’t wash out your mouth after you brush, instead allowing the fluoride to work its magic on your outer layer for more time.
What about a doctor-recommended teeth cleaner?
It generally contains a greater amount of fluoride. Severe dry mouth, which can be more common as you age, can raise your risk of cavities. So can periodontal disease, especially if the surfaces of the roots of your teeth are exposed. 35
A.Take care of your teeth.
B.Ski p carbon teeth cleaner.
C.The 2019 research found this.
D.In this case, the teeth lack a protective outer layer.
E.Fluoride can help replace some of these lost minerals.
F.It can help the doctors to examine the teeth in your mouth.
G.Generally, adults need only a small quantity of teeth cleaners.

The teenage years are marked by intense changes — physical, social, emotional, and developmental — that can be difficult to deal with at times. 41 As you grow older, conflicts with family often increase, mainly due to the desire for more independence. Peer (同龄人) pressure also plays a major role, as teenagers are more likely to be influenced by friends while testing boundaries and seeking autonomy.
Conflicts during this time can also arise from the intensity of your emotions and your evolving ability to think abstractly. As you work on forming your individual identity, you may become more focused on the world around you, trying to make sense of your own feelings and form opinions on various issues. 42 As your outlook changes, these struggles may make it more difficult to navigate relationships with family and cope with peer pressure.
While conflicts are a natural part of this stage of life, there are ways to manage and resolve them productively. 43 By expressing your thoughts and feelings clearly, you can prevent misunderstandings and build mutual respect. Equally important is active listening — understanding others’ outlook can help you find common ground and reach a resolution.
44 Staying calm allows you to think more clearly and avoid worsening emotions. Techniques such as deep breathing or temporarily stepping away from the situation can help manage intense feelings. Additionally, turning to trusted adults or peers who have faced similar challenges can help you gain practical strategies for managing emotions.
While conflicts are a normal part of growing up, they can also be opportunities for personal development and self-discovery. 45
A.Emotional regulation is also essential.
B.The most effective strategy is communication.
C.These conflicts are caused by misunderstandings.
D.With so much going on, it’s no surprise conflicts often arise.
E.This process can lead to internal and external struggles as you grow.
F.Take it positively, and you can resolve conflicts and boost your growth.
G.Recognizing the signs helps you become more aware next time a conflict emerges.

Photography is more than an art form; it can also serve as a powerful therapeutic (治疗) tool. Photo Therapy and therapeutic photography are gaining recognition for their potential to support emotional processing, self-expression, and mental health. 46 .
Photo Therapy refers to the structured use of photographs in a professional counseling (咨询) setting. Therapists guide clients through interactions with personal images, including family photographs, self-portraits, or even abstract visuals, to explore emotions and experiences. The therapeutic process might include interpreting the symbolic meaning of a photo, discussing how it makes the client feel, or using it to explore relationships. 47 , as photographs can act as mediators (中介), allowing them to touch on challenging topics from a more comfortable distance and helping them uncover feelings and memories.
Unlike Photo Therapy, which requires a trained professional, therapeutic photography is an independent or group activity that anyone can engage in to support mental health. 48 . As noted on the Photo Therapy Centre website, capturing images encourages mindfulness, as it draws individuals into the present moment and helps them focus on their environment.
The act of creating can also help people process their emotions and tell their stories. 49 , which allows individuals to share feelings they may struggle to express in words. Engaging in photography can build confidence and self-awareness, giving individuals a sense of achievement as they create something visible and meaningful.
Whether guided by a therapist or pursued independently, photography is an accessible way to support wellbeing. 50 . For those looking to explore their emotions or seek new paths to self-discovery, picking up a camera might be the first step toward a brighter and healthier future.
A.These approaches are closely related
B.Some clients tend to hide their memories
C.It bridges the gap between art and mental health
D.Using a photo for conversations gives clients a sense of safety
E.A famous blog highlights how photography can serve as a visual journal
F.This approach involves taking photographs or creating photo-based projects
G.While they sound similar, they have distinct applications that make them uniquely beneficial

Enhancing self-esteem (自尊) is vital for personal growth, and there are some simple strategies for improving your self-esteem and generating a positive mindset. By employing these strategies, you can enhance your self-esteem and improve your overall outlook on life.
51 It often serves as a commentary on our daily lives. When your inner critic is overly critical, it can misshape your self-image. To cancel out this, question the truthfulness of your negative thoughts and reconsider them positively. For instance, instead of thinking “I’m too stupid to get this,” tell yourself, “This is hard, but I’m determined to get it.” Practice this by writing down your challenges and responses to retrain your inner voice.

6.上文提到“Your profile picture is often the first impression you make online(你的头像通常是你在网上给人的第一印象)”,此处需要进一步说明“网上”的具体场景。G 选项“whether for social media or professional platforms(无论是社交媒体还是专业平台)”通过whether... or...结构,明确了头像在不同网络平台(社交或专业)中的普遍性,承接上文online,强调头像的重要性适用于所有线上场景,逻辑连贯。故选G。
7.根据第二段“The first step is to clean your face. If you usually like a clean-shaven look, this is the perfect time. Once your face is prepared, it’s time to move on to makeup. A natural look is highly advisable. Be specific in your product selection: avoid shiny makeup and opt for a non-glossy foundation instead, as this will prevent your skin from appearing overly shiny in the final photo. After the face and makeup are sorted, make it suit your hair type. For example, if you have straight hair, wash and give it a good brush; if your hair is thick, proper conditioning is key.(第一步是洗脸。如果你喜欢把脸刮得干干净净的样子,现在是最佳时机。一旦你的脸准备好了,就该开始化妆了。自然的妆容是非常可取的。在选择产品时要特别注意:避免亮闪闪的化妆品,选择不亮闪闪的粉底,因为这样可以防止你的皮肤在最后的照片中显得过于亮闪闪。洗面和化妆后,让它适合你的发质。例如,如果你是直发,那就好好洗头;如果你的头发很厚,适当的护理是关键。)”可知,该段落围绕清洁面部、化妆、打理头发展开,均属于拍摄前的准备工作。B选项“Preparing for the photo(为拍照做准备)”作为段落标题,精准概括了段落核心——从面部到发型的前期准备,符合段落结构。故选B。

9.下文“tension is easily visible in photos. Practice in the mirror to find your most natural look. Finally, since not everyone has a perfectly balanced face, take test photos from both sides.(在照片中很容易看到紧张感。对着镜子练习,找到自己最自然的样子。最后,因为不是每个人都有完美平衡的脸,所以从两边拍摄测试照片。)”指出“紧张在照片中很容易显现,练习找到自然的表情”,核心是“放松面部表情”。D选项“Remember to relax your face(记得放松你的脸部)”直接呼应后文tension is easily visible和natural look,强调放松对表情自然的重要性,是对该段“表情管理”的关键总结。故选D。
10.上文“Your choice of location matters significantly.

Ways to Overcome Self-Doubt Once and for All
People all experience some periods of self-doubt in life. Self-doubt is when we are unsure about ourselves; it happens to us during normal days or whenever we are going to start something new in our life, like a new job or a new relationship. 11 It can even limit our potential and block our way to success. Now it’s time to be strong. Here are some strategies that we can use to overcome self-doubt.
Reflect back to past achievements.
Remember the time when we achieved something remarkable? Self-reflection is one of the best tools to remove self-doubt. It makes us remember that we once achieved something great, and it makes us believe that we can achieve that level of success again through concentrated efforts. 12 It’s wise to learn from our previous mistakes and move on!
Start journaling events.
In life, there will come many events that we are thankful for, especially our excellent achievements. 13 This journaling of events will be really helpful when we are doubting ourselves. Compare ourselves to the time when we achieved greatness, and convince ourselves that we can be that person again.
Seek professional help if necessary.
There are periods when we are too hard on ourselves — we don’t believe our goals and efforts are making for the betterment of our lives; this is self-sabotage — an extreme end of self-doubt. 14 Talk about our feelings often, and let all the negative emotions out; this will make us feel a lot better. 15
People always want to keep up with the Joneses. However, unrealistically drawing a parallel between others and us is a harmful act. Why would we identify ourselves with a family member, a friend, or our colleague when each of our lives is different? We should focus on ourselves and our own achievements, which will allow us to fulfill our goals without any worries.
A.Be our own biggest critic.
B.Never compare with others.
C.It is better to start keeping track of them.
D.Never live in the memory, but learn to strive from the past!
E.If not taken care of professionally, this can become a painful barrier.
F.Self-doubt isn’t that bad, which can motivate us and push us to be better in life.
G.Such a feeling will lead us into a dark situation where nothing seems to go right.

While yoga is known for enhancing balance, flexibility, and calmness, it’s often considered less effective for weight loss than other exercises. However, even non-intense yoga sustains lasting calorie burning after practice. 21 . Here’s more about how yoga is a complete body and mind workout.
Removing stress, Reducing pounds
Yoga helps manage stress, and studies show high levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (荷尔蒙), can lead to an increase in fat. Yoga has an impact on the body’s stress response and reduces the production of hormones linked to weight again. 22 . In one study, researchers found that practicing yoga seemed to impact the hypothalamus (下丘脑), reducing cortisol production. And another study found that doing meditative (冥想的) yoga reduced participants’ cortisol levels.
Making weight loss last
Recent research shows long-term yoga aids weight loss and boosts cognitive skills for a positive mood. Jessica, a Brown University professor, led a study on yoga’s practicability of weight maintenance. 23 . Jessica adds that someone experiencing a more positive mood may be less likely to overeat in response to negative emotions, or may be able to get back on track more easily after an overeating period, versus feeling guilty about overeating and continuing to engage in unhealthy practices.
24
A study found no difference in weight loss totals for participants practicing a gentle yoga versus a more energetic yoga. The best yoga is the practice that fits for you. ‘There are many accessible styles of yoga that meet you where you’re no matter what your size, age, physical challenge or background. 25 .
A.Practicing a gentle yoga
B.Choosing the right type
C.Everybody can benefit from a yoga practice
D.There’s no one style of yoga that’s best for weight loss
E.That’s because yoga’s other benefits can help with weight loss too
F.Several studies have confirmed that doing yoga does reduce cortisol levels

Fluoride (氟化物) is crucial because it helps fight cavities (蛀牙). Cavities occur when the bacteria in our mouths consume leftover food on our teeth, particularly anything sugary. As the bacteria eat these sugars, they release acid, which can remove minerals from our teeth’s hard surface, eventually creating cavities. 31 It strengthens the surface of our teeth and repairs some damage.
Watch out for this material.
If you suffer from canker sores (口腔溃疡) inside your mouth, you may want to look for a teeth cleaner that doesn’t contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). 32 Using an SLS-free teeth cleaner might help reduce canker sores in people who get a lot of them.
33
Activated carbon is often seen as a superior material for a variety of products, including teeth cleaner. But it can damage your outer layer and cause increased sensitivity.
How much to use?
34 You should wash out your mouth after you brush. But studies show that the fluoride in your teeth cleaner provides the biggest benefit if you don’t wash out your mouth after you brush, instead allowing the fluoride to work its magic on your outer layer for more time.
What about a doctor-recommended teeth cleaner?
It generally contains a greater amount of fluoride. Severe dry mouth, which can be more common as you age, can raise your risk of cavities. So can periodontal disease, especially if the surfaces of the roots of your teeth are exposed. 35
A.Take care of your teeth.
B.Ski p carbon teeth cleaner.
C.The 2019 research found this.
D.In this case, the teeth lack a protective outer layer.
E.Fluoride can help replace some of these lost minerals.
F.It can help the doctors to examine the teeth in your mouth.
G.Generally, adults need only a small quantity of teeth cleaners.

Remember to monitor moisture (湿度) levels. 40 After a few months of care, your compost will turn into dark, soil-like material. This means it’s ready to use! Put this rich soil in your garden, and you’ll see your plants grow strong and healthy. We hope this guide has provided you with the knowledge and inspiration to begin your composting journey. Happy composting!
A.The bigger, the better.
B.Composting doesn’t look good.
C.Now, time to choose the right type of bins.
D.Leave them as they are after they break down naturally.

The teenage years are marked by intense changes — physical, social, emotional, and developmental — that can be difficult to deal with at times. 41 As you grow older, conflicts with family often increase, mainly due to the desire for more independence. Peer (同龄人) pressure also plays a major role, as teenagers are more likely to be influenced by friends while testing boundaries and seeking autonomy.
Conflicts during this time can also arise from the intensity of your emotions and your evolving ability to think abstractly. As you work on forming your individual identity, you may become more focused on the world around you, trying to make sense of your own feelings and form opinions on various issues. 42 As your outlook changes, these struggles may make it more difficult to navigate relationships with family and cope with peer pressure.
While conflicts are a natural part of this stage of life, there are ways to manage and resolve them productively. 43 By expressing your thoughts and feelings clearly, you can prevent misunderstandings and build mutual respect. Equally important is active listening — understanding others’ outlook can help you find common ground and reach a resolution.
44 Staying calm allows you to think more clearly and avoid worsening emotions. Techniques such as deep breathing or temporarily stepping away from the situation can help manage intense feelings. Additionally, turning to trusted adults or peers who have faced similar challenges can help you gain practical strategies for managing emotions.
While conflicts are a normal part of growing up, they can also be opportunities for personal development and self-discovery. 45
A.Emotional regulation is also essential.
B.The most effective strategy is communication.
C.These conflicts are caused by misunderstandings.
D.With so much going on, it’s no surprise conflicts often arise.
E.This process can lead to internal and external struggles as you grow.
F.Take it positively, and you can resolve conflicts and boost your growth.
G.Recognizing the signs helps you become more aware next time a conflict emerges.
