For children, space is magical — a whole world is out there, with so many things to learn and stories to read. Here are some children’s books about space and the solar system.
Mae among the Stars by Stasia Burrington
This beautifully illustrated picture book is attractive to young kids. It was inspired by the first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison. It tells the story of Mae as a little girl, who always knew she had big dreams about space. This is a great addition to a young kid’s collection, as a reminder to hold tight to dreams and never give up.
Space by Libby Jackson
This beautifully illustrated book gives kids a look at 50 women from around the world who were involved in exploring space in some way, from the 19th century to the present day. This is a perfect gift for young kids who want to know more about some of the lesser-known scientific achievements related to space exploration.
Chasing Space by Leland Melvin
This is Melvin’s story about being a football player-turned-astronaut, along with his recovery from an injury that nearly left him deaf. Kids will love reading his story about how he faced challenges and advanced ahead, and he also includes DIY experiments for kids to try, and a section of full-color photographs.
System and Beyond by David A. Aguilar
The book is full of beautiful illustrations of space, and is perfect for kids of all ages, exploring various planets and the solar system. Unlike other kids’ space book, this is a National Geographic book written and illustrated by an award-winning astronomer and space artist. Aguilar is also the former Director of Science Information and Public Outreach at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

At a Beijing press conference on Friday, March 14, 2025, Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke about China-US technology competition, using stories and sayings to share China’s ideas. His words came after Chinese AI company DeepSeek showed new breakthroughs, proving China’s growing skills in AI.
“China will fight through the toughest barriers in tech,” Wang said, telling the story of Nezha, a Chinese myth hero. “Nezha challenges heaven’s rules with perseverance, just like we keep innovating,” he explained. He quoted an old Chinese saying: “No mountains can stop a mighty river.” This means: cooperation, not walls, let innovation grow.
“Building high fences and small yards won’t stop our spirit,” Wang added. “Cutting supply chains only hurts ourselves.” Wang stressed that science and technology should be “shared treasures for all humanity,” not tools to divide. Citing China’s space missions and AI advancements, he noted, “Our innovations are meant to be shared. Just as ancient Chinese sailors sailed the seas to exchange knowledge, today we aim to explore the stars and oceans together.”
His message connected with global calls for cooperation. “Technological progress should build bridges, not walls,” said a European official present. As the world faces climate change and healthcare challenges, Wang’s words emphasized China’s belief that innovation blooms in open environments.
24. What is the main idea of Wang Yi’s speech?
A. To introduce China’s latest AI achievements
B. To show China’s determination in tech innovation and cooperation
C. To criticize the US for blocking China’s tech development
D. To share Chinese traditional stories and sayings
25. Why did Wang Yi mention the story of Nezha?
A. Showing China’s rich cultural heritage
B. Proving the popularity of Chinese myths
C. Symbolizing China’s spirit of breaking through difficulties
D. Comparing ancient and modern China
26. What does the phrase “high fences and small yards” refer to in the speech?
A. Physical barriers in real life
B. Limitations on international tech cooperation
C. China’s traditional courtyard architecture
D. Environmental protection measures
27. According to Wang Yi, how should countries deal with technological progress?
A. By competing with each other
B. By building walls to protect their own interests
C. By working together and sharing achievements
D. By focusing only on their own development
C
A Cross-Cultural Bridge Built by Social Media
In January 2025, the U. S. government banned TikTok over national security concerns. Unexpectedly, this move led thousands of American users to Xiaohongshu (also known as Red Note), a Chinese lifestyle app. This cultural shift has created heartwarming connections between young people in the U. S. and China, proving that shared interests can transcend language barriers.
One popular trend on Xiaohongshu involves American users attempting Chinese recipes. For example, Leah Saifi, a New York influencer, posted a video of her making jiggly Chinese steamed eggs, inspired by a well-known Chinese tutorial. Her video received over 160, 000 likes and encouraging comments from Chinese users who suggested adding ingredients like ham or vegetables. Similarly, a Canadian couple’s attempt at the dish quickly gained 70, 000 likes, with Chinese users joking, “Foreigners made steamed eggs better than me! ”
Another trend is about Li Hua, a fictional character from China’s national college entrance exam (gaokao). For years, Chinese students wrote letters as Li Hua to imaginary foreign friends. Now, real foreign users on Xiaohongshu are replying. American user Douglas posted, “Dear Li Hua, I’m sorry I didn’t get your letters... Now I’m here to reply. ” Sarah Dale from Mississippi expressed gratitude for a world where “every Li Hua’s letter is returned with love. ”
These interactions highlight Xiaohongshu’s role in breaking stereotypes (刻板印象). Tsinghua University professor Shi Anbin noted, “The app offers unique experiences not found on Western platforms, helping global users understand China’s tech-savvy youth.” Despite efforts by some governments to hide China’s reality, ordinary people are building bonds through shared humanity. As Sarah Thrush from the U. S. wrote, “Love and friendship transcend distance. ”
28. What does the underlined word “transcend” in the text mean?
A. Increase B. Change
C. Overcome D. Reduce
29. Why did American users start using Xiaohongshu?
A. They wanted to learn Chinese cooking.
B. TikTok was banned in the U. S.
C. Xiaohongshu is more popular than TikTok.
D. They needed a platform to reply to Li Hua.
30. The example of Li Hua shows that foreign users on Xiaohongshu ________.
A. are familiar with Chinese education systems
B. are helping Chinese students with exams
C. are welcoming cultural exchanges creatively
D. are better at English than Chinese users
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To criticize the U. S. ban on TikTok.
B. To introduce Xiaohongshu’s features to Chinese users.
C. To illustrate cross-cultural connections via Xiaohongshu.
D. To compare TikTok and Xiaohongshu’s user bases.
D
Swimmers are tidy and make the best lovers while cyclists vote Liberal Democrat. What your favorite sport says about you? Unless your name is Rebecca Adlington, Victoria Pendleton or Mo Farah, sport is probably nothing more than an enjoyable hobby.
Now a new study has revealed that your choice of sport says more about you than you could possibly have imagined. According to researchers, cyclists are more likely to be emotionally stable, runners the most outgoing and swimmers the happiest, while walkers are the least materialistic.
The psychological study, which was carried out by experts from Mind Lab, also revealed that sport can also offer clues to a person’s attitude to charity, reading habits and even their voting intentions. Cyclists, for example, are most likely to vote Liberal Democrat and tend to be calm in front of material possessions. Meanwhile runners tend to be Labour-voting outgoing people who love being the centre of attention. Those who swim tend to make the best lovers, are tidy and are also the most charitable, although according to Mind Lab, 61 percent of adults are fond of charity regardless of their choice of sport. Walkers, a group that includes those who enjoy wandering, cross-country races and hiking, are least concerned about material possessions and like being alone.
“It has long been known that exercise is not only good for your body, but also your mind,” says psychologist Dr David Lewis. “Past research has shown that exercising can be used to treat and possibly even prevent anxiety and generally has a positive effect on mental health. The results from this study show that no matter what kind of person you are, there is the right kind of exercise for you,” Dr David Lewis adds.
32. What kind of people may not get angry easily according to the study?
A. Cyclists. B. Runners.
C. Swimmers. D. Walkers.
33. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. By giving examples.
B. By following time order.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By setting down general rules
34. Which word can best describe the character of swimmers?
A Humorous. B. Pessimistic.
C. Open-minded. D. Warm-hearted.
35. In the last paragraph, Dr David Lewis makes the point that ________.
A. it’s better to choose sports that suit you well
B. bad feelings can be got rid of by doing exercise
C. there’s no doubt that sports can keep you healthy
D. exercise benefits you both physically and mentally

Kwan’s Secret Talent
“Kwan, isn’t that your art teacher?” his grandmother said, pointing at a woman walking out of the grocery store.
Kwan waved, and Mrs. Gibbs walked over to him and his grandmother. “It’s very nice to see you,” Mrs. Gibbs said. Then she saw the cloths wrapped around the groceries Kwan and his grandmother were loading into their car. “Oh, how beautiful!” she exclaimed.
“Thank you. These are our hometown wrapping cloths,” grandmother explained. “Kwan and I embroidered (刺绣) them together.”
Kwan looked away. Although he enjoyed helping grandmother make the cloths, he didn’t want anyone at school to know about it.
“Kwan, you should bring your cloths to school tomorrow. Your classmates would enjoy seeing them. You have a unique skill,” Mrs. Gibbs said.
Kwan appreciated his teacher’s comments, but he was hesitant. The kids might laugh at the idea of a boy who liked to stitch (缝) patterns with a needle and thread. He thought about his grandmother’s wide smile that showed how proud of him she would be for sharing this custom.
“O.K. I’ll bring some to class tomorrow,” Kwan replied quietly.
Grandma sensed that something was wrong. “Kwan, are you worried about tomorrow?” she asked.
Kwan stared at the floor. “What are the other kids going to think?” he said. “This isn’t the kind of thing they do for fun. Creating embroidered patterns isn’t like playing an instrument or a sport.”
“You’re right,” Grandma said. “It is different. But that is why it is so special.” Then she brought out a fine cloth with different designs. “When your grandfather and I were married, we received a gift from his mother wrapped in this cloth she made. In our culture, gifts given in wrapping cloths are extra special because they are a symbol of love and good luck.” she explained.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning Kwan took several wrapping cloths to school.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Kwan listened to his classmates, he noticed that his forehead no longer felt hot.

This beautifully illustrated picture book is attractive to young kids. It was inspired by the first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison.

This is a perfect gift for young kids who want to know more about some of the lesser-known scientific achievements related to space exploration.
Chasing Space by Leland Melvin
This is Melvin’s story about being a football player-turned-astronaut, along with his recovery from an injury that nearly left him deaf. Kids will love reading his story about how he faced challenges and advanced ahead, and he also includes DIY experiments for kids to try, and a section of full-color photographs.
System and Beyond by David A. Aguilar
The book is full of beautiful illustrations of space, and is perfect for kids of all ages, exploring various planets and the solar system. Unlike other kids’ space book, this is a National Geographic book written and illustrated by an award-winning astronomer and space artist. Aguilar is also the former Director of Science Information and Public Outreach at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

(这本精美的插图书让孩子们看到了从19世纪到现在,来自世界各地的50位女性,她们以某种方式参与了太空探索。)”可知,《星际漫游》和《太空漫游》的共同之处是:它们都涉及到那些探索太空的女性。故选C项。

At a Beijing press conference on Friday, March 14, 2025, Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke about China-US technology competition, using stories and sayings to share China’s ideas. His words came after Chinese AI company DeepSeek showed new breakthroughs, proving China’s growing skills in AI.
“China will fight through the toughest barriers in tech,” Wang said, telling the story of Nezha, a Chinese myth hero. “Nezha challenges heaven’s rules with perseverance, just like we keep innovating,” he explained. He quoted an old Chinese saying: “No mountains can stop a mighty river.” This means: cooperation, not walls, let innovation grow.
“Building high fences and small yards won’t stop our spirit,” Wang added. “Cutting supply chains only hurts ourselves.” Wang stressed that science and technology should be “shared treasures for all humanity,” not tools to divide. Citing China’s space missions and AI advancements, he noted, “Our innovations are meant to be shared. Just as ancient Chinese sailors sailed the seas to exchange knowledge, today we aim to explore the stars and oceans together.”
His message connected with global calls for cooperation. “Technological progress should build bridges, not walls,” said a European official present. As the world faces climate change and healthcare challenges, Wang’s words emphasized China’s belief that innovation blooms in open environments.

A. To introduce China’s latest AI achievements
B. To show China’s determination in tech innovation and cooperation
C. To criticize the US for blocking China’s tech development

B. Proving the popularity of Chinese myths
C. Symbolizing China’s spirit of breaking through difficulties
D. Comparing ancient and modern China
26. What does the phrase “high fences and small yards” refer to in the speech?
A. Physical barriers in real life
B. Limitations on international tech cooperation
C. China’s traditional courtyard architecture
D. Environmental protection measures
27. According to Wang Yi, how should countries deal with technological progress?
A. By competing with each other
B. By building walls to protect their own interests
C. By working together and sharing achievements

【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Wang stressed that science and technology should be “shared treasures for all humanity,” not tools to divide. (王强调,科学技术应该是“全人类共享的财富”,而不是分裂的工具。)”、“Our innovations are meant to be shared. (我们的创新旨在共享。)”可知,王毅认为各国应该通过合作和分享成就来应对科技进步。故选C。

A Cross-Cultural Bridge Built by Social Media
In January 2025, the U. S. government banned TikTok over national security concerns. Unexpectedly, this move led thousands of American users to Xiaohongshu (also known as Red Note), a Chinese lifestyle app. This cultural shift has created heartwarming connections between young people in the U. S. and China, proving that shared interests can transcend language barriers.
One popular trend on Xiaohongshu involves American users attempting Chinese recipes. For example, Leah Saifi, a New York influencer, posted a video of her making jiggly Chinese steamed eggs, inspired by a well-known Chinese tutorial. Her video received over 160, 000 likes and encouraging comments from Chinese users who suggested adding ingredients like ham or vegetables. Similarly, a Canadian couple’s attempt at the dish quickly gained 70, 000 likes, with Chinese users joking, “Foreigners made steamed eggs better than me! ”
Another trend is about Li Hua, a fictional character from China’s national college entrance exam (gaokao). For years, Chinese students wrote letters as Li Hua to imaginary foreign friends. Now, real foreign users on Xiaohongshu are replying. American user Douglas posted, “Dear Li Hua, I’m sorry I didn’t get your letters... Now I’m here to reply. ” Sarah Dale from Mississippi expressed gratitude for a world where “every Li Hua’s letter is returned with love. ”
These interactions highlight Xiaohongshu’s role in breaking stereotypes (刻板印象). Tsinghua University professor Shi Anbin noted, “The app offers unique experiences not found on Western platforms, helping global users understand China’s tech-savvy youth.” Despite efforts by some governments to hide China’s reality, ordinary people are building bonds through shared humanity. As Sarah Thrush from the U. S. wrote, “Love and friendship transcend distance. ”
28. What does the underlined word “transcend” in the text mean?
A. Increase B. Change
C. Overcome D. Reduce
29. Why did American users start using Xiaohongshu?
A. They wanted to learn Chinese cooking.
B. TikTok was banned in the U. S.
C. Xiaohongshu is more popular than TikTok.
D. They needed a platform to reply to Li Hua.
30. The example of Li Hua shows that foreign users on Xiaohongshu ________.
A. are familiar with Chinese education systems
B. are helping Chinese students with exams
C. are welcoming cultural exchanges creatively
D. are better at English than Chinese users
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To criticize the U. S. ban on TikTok.
B. To introduce Xiaohongshu’s features to Chinese users.
C. To illustrate cross-cultural connections via Xiaohongshu.
D. To compare TikTok and Xiaohongshu’s user bases.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国用户因TikTok被禁转而使用小红书,并在该平台上与中国用户展开多种文化交流,展现了社交媒体搭建的跨文化桥梁。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“This cultural shift has created heartwarming connections between young people in the U. S. and China, proving that shared interests can transcend language barriers. (这种文化转变在美国和中国的年轻人之间建立了温暖的联系,证明了共同的兴趣可以transcend语言障碍)”可知,这种文化转变让美国和中国年轻人之间建立了温暖联系,说明共同兴趣能跨越语言障碍,也就是克服、超越语言障碍。所以transcend在此处意思是“Overcomen (克服、超越)”。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In January 2025, the U. S. government banned TikTok over national security concerns. Unexpectedly, this move led thousands of American users to Xiaohongshu (also known as Red Note), a Chinese lifestyle app. (2025年1月,美国政府出于国家安全考虑禁止了TikTok。出乎意料的是,这一举措导致数千名美国用户转向使用中国生活方式应用小红书 (又称Red Note))”可知,美国用户开始使用小红书是因为TikTok在美国被禁。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Another trend is about Li Hua, a fictional character from China’s national college entrance exam (gaokao). For years, Chinese students wrote letters as Li Hua to imaginary foreign friends. Now, real foreign users on Xiaohongshu are replying. American user Douglas posted, “Dear Li Hua, I’m sorry I didn’t get your letters... Now I’m here to reply. ” Sarah Dale from Mississippi expressed gratitude for a world where “every Li Hua’s letter is returned with love. ” (另一个趋势是关于李华,他是中国高考中的一个虚构人物。多年来,中国学生以李华的名义给想象中的外国朋友写信。现在,小红书上真正的外国用户正在回复。美国用户道格拉斯发帖说:‘亲爱的李华,很抱歉我没收到你的信……现在我来回复了。’密西西比州的莎拉·戴尔对这个世界表示感激,在这个世界里,‘每一封李华的信都得到了爱的回应。’)”可知,李华这个例子表明小红书上的外国用户正以富有创意的方式欢迎文化交流。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段中“In January 2025, the U. S. government banned TikTok over national security concerns. Unexpectedly, this move led thousands of American users to Xiaohongshu (also known as Red Note), a Chinese lifestyle app. (2025年1月,美国政府出于国家安全考虑禁止了TikTok。出乎意料的是,这一举措导致数千名美国用户转向使用中国生活方式应用小红书 (又称Red Note))”及最后一段中“As Sarah Thrush from the U. S. wrote, ‘Love and friendship transcend distance. ’(正如来自美国的莎拉·思拉什所写:‘爱和友谊超越距离。’)” 可知,本文介绍了美国用户因TikTok被禁转而使用小红书,并在该平台上与中国用户展开多种文化交流,展现了社交媒体搭建的跨文化桥梁。进而推知,文章主要目的是通过小红书展示跨文化联系。故选C。
D
Swimmers are tidy and make the best lovers while cyclists vote Liberal Democrat. What your favorite sport says about you? Unless your name is Rebecca Adlington, Victoria Pendleton or Mo Farah, sport is probably nothing more than an enjoyable hobby.
Now a new study has revealed that your choice of sport says more about you than you could possibly have imagined. According to researchers, cyclists are more likely to be emotionally stable, runners the most outgoing and swimmers the happiest, while walkers are the least materialistic.
The psychological study, which was carried out by experts from Mind Lab, also revealed that sport can also offer clues to a person’s attitude to charity, reading habits and even their voting intentions. Cyclists, for example, are most likely to vote Liberal Democrat and tend to be calm in front of material possessions. Meanwhile runners tend to be Labour-voting outgoing people who love being the centre of attention. Those who swim tend to make the best lovers, are tidy and are also the most charitable, although according to Mind Lab, 61 percent of adults are fond of charity regardless of their choice of sport. Walkers, a group that includes those who enjoy wandering, cross-country races and hiking, are least concerned about material possessions and like being alone.
“It has long been known that exercise is not only good for your body, but also your mind,” says psychologist Dr David Lewis. “Past research has shown that exercising can be used to treat and possibly even prevent anxiety and generally has a positive effect on mental health. The results from this study show that no matter what kind of person you are, there is the right kind of exercise for you,” Dr David Lewis adds.
32. What kind of people may not get angry easily according to the study?
A. Cyclists. B. Runners.
C. Swimmers. D. Walkers.
33. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. By giving examples.
B. By following time order.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By setting down general rules
34. Which word can best describe the character of swimmers?

Kwan’s Secret Talent
“Kwan, isn’t that your art teacher?” his grandmother said, pointing at a woman walking out of the grocery store.
Kwan waved, and Mrs. Gibbs walked over to him and his grandmother. “It’s very nice to see you,” Mrs. Gibbs said. Then she saw the cloths wrapped around the groceries Kwan and his grandmother were loading into their car. “Oh, how beautiful!” she exclaimed.
“Thank you. These are our hometown wrapping cloths,” grandmother explained. “Kwan and I embroidered (刺绣) them together.”
Kwan looked away. Although he enjoyed helping grandmother make the cloths, he didn’t want anyone at school to know about it.
“Kwan, you should bring your cloths to school tomorrow. Your classmates would enjoy seeing them. You have a unique skill,” Mrs. Gibbs said.
Kwan appreciated his teacher’s comments, but he was hesitant. The kids might laugh at the idea of a boy who liked to stitch (缝) patterns with a needle and thread. He thought about his grandmother’s wide smile that showed how proud of him she would be for sharing this custom.
“O.K. I’ll bring some to class tomorrow,” Kwan replied quietly.
Grandma sensed that something was wrong. “Kwan, are you worried about tomorrow?” she asked.
Kwan stared at the floor. “What are the other kids going to think?” he said. “This isn’t the kind of thing they do for fun. Creating embroidered patterns isn’t like playing an instrument or a sport.”
“You’re right,” Grandma said. “It is different. But that is why it is so special.” Then she brought out a fine cloth with different designs. “When your grandfather and I were married, we received a gift from his mother wrapped in this cloth she made. In our culture, gifts given in wrapping cloths are extra special because they are a symbol of love and good luck.” she explained.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning Kwan took several wrapping cloths to school.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Kwan listened to his classmates, he noticed that his forehead no longer felt hot.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
The next morning, Kwan took several wrapping cloths to school. During art class, his heart raced, knowing Mrs. Gibbs would eventually call on him. Just as he hoped time might run out, he heard his name. Kwan walked to the front, his face flushed. Taking a deep breath, he carefully unfolded the cloths, and the vibrant patterns immediately caught everyone’s attention. Encouraged by their interest, Kwan began to explain the cultural meaning behind the patterns. For a moment, there was silence, but instead of teasing, curious hands shot into the air. “This must have taken forever to make!” one student exclaimed. Another added, “You`ve got serious talent, Kwan.”
Paragraph 2:
As Kwan listened to his classmates, he noticed his forehead no longer felt hot. His initial unease had vanished as their sincere compliments reached him. They even asked him to teach them embroidery. The class soon turned into a workshop with Kwan guiding them how to stitch. Some wanted to use the special cloth to carry their lunch, but soon realized they needed practice if they didn’t want their sandwiches ending up on the sidewalk. “Folding these cloths is another talent,” Mrs. Gibbs laughed as her own cloth came undone. Embracing the moment, Kwan realized that sharing his craft wasn`t something to be embarrassed about — it was a way to connect with others and to share a meaningful part of his culture.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要围绕Kwan秘密才艺——刺绣展开,通过Kwan与祖母、美术老师Gibbs夫人以及同学们的互动,展现了一个关于勇气、文化自信和友谊的故事。文章描述了Kwan对刺绣技能感到羞怯,通过课堂展示,克服了最初的疑虑,在同学们的认可中感到自豪和自信,展现了文化自信和传统技艺的价值。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上,Kwan带了几块包裹布到学校。”以及第二段首句内容“随着Kwan听着同学们的话,他注意到自己的额头不再发烫。”可知,第一段可描写Kwan非常害羞地拿出了包裹布,使他大为惊讶的是,同学们都对他的才艺大为赞赏。
②由第二段首句内容“随着Kwan听着同学们的话,他注意到自己的额头不再发烫。”可知,第二段可描写Kwan的不安逐渐消失,同学们也开始向他求教,Kwan很开心自己可以分享自己的文化。
2. 续写线索:Kwan带了几块包裹布到学校——担心同学的嘲笑——同学们对他的才艺大为赞叹——Kwan的不安逐渐消失——同学们开始向他求教——Kwan开始教同学们如何缝制——Kwan终于意识到能够分享自己的文化非常有意义
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①希望:hope/wish
②取笑:tease/make fun of
③使用:use/make use of/employ
情绪类
①好奇的:curious/inquisitive
②真诚的:sincere/ genuine

【高分句型2】Some wanted to use the special cloth to carry their lunch, but soon realized they needed practice if they didn’t want their sandwiches ending up on the sidewalk. (运用了省略引导词that的宾语从句和if引导的状语从句)
