When I arrived at Mile End Park, loud music filled the air, and lots of volunteers were busy planting trees. Although it was a cold and rainy day, no one stopped working. The love for tree planting and the loud music cheered up the whole team. Everyone in my group was quite kind. We first introduced ourselves to each other. The workers in the park were also friendly. They gave us training in planting trees, teaching us how to plant trees step by step. We planted a tree together and then named it “Precious”. It meant “very important”, and we all thought it was a good name. Here I want to thank the workers. They gave me a lot of help during the activity. From them, I learned that planting trees takes hard work and that people need to know a lot. However, the most important thing is people’s love for our planet.

Or do you lose focus and waste time when you need to study? If so, the Pomodoro Technique might be just what you need. The Pomodoro Technique was created by a college student named Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. He had a hard time staying focused while studying. To solve this problem, he used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer to help him manage(管理) his time. He decided to study for 25 minutes and then take a 5-minute break. He found that this way helped him stay focused and study more efficiently(高效地). So, he named it the “Pomodoro Technique” because “pomodoro” means “tomato” in Italian. The Pomodoro Technique is a simple but effective(有效的) ways to help you manage your time and improve your study habits. It breaks tasks into small, manageable pieces. You study for 25 minutes, followed by a short 5-minute break. After finishing four 25-minute study sessions(时段), you take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes. By using it, students can stay focused on their tasks, manage them more efficiently, and avoid feeling too stressed. To set a Pomodoro timer, the first thing you need to do is set a clear goal for your task. It’s important to stay focused during the 25 minutes and avoid losing focus. After finishing a session, take a short break to “disconnect” from your work. Never involve(加入) yourself in activities that need heavy mental effort(脑力) during breaks. At the end of the day, write down what you achieved and how it went. This helps you review your progress and plan for tomorrow. 27. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions. C. By explaining the reasons. 28. What is the Pomodoro Technique for? A. Helping students manage time efficiently. B. Making study more enjoyable for students. C. Training students to set their own goals alone. 29. How does the Pomodoro Technique work? A. By controlling the break time strictly. B. By organizing group competitions in class. C. By following a time rule for study and break. 30. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To offer tips on using the Pomodoro Technique. B. To explain the ways of developing good habits. C. To show the ways of balancing(平衡) work and breaks. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。 In China, robotic(机器人的) dogs are becoming amazing helpers.
