China’s inbound (入境的) tourism market saw strong recovery and growth during the just-concluded May Day holiday. 36
China has been opening its doors wider to international travelers. In 2024, the country expanded its one-sided visa-free policy to include 38 countries, allowing visits of up to 30 days. 37 In late April, China lowered the tax refund threshold from 500 yuan to 200 yuan and raised the cash refund limit from 10,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan. There is no limit on refunds processed by bank transfer.
38 While top-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai remained popular, destinations including Chengdu, Chongqing, and Zhuhai made the list of top inbound choices. Hotel bookings by foreign tourists in Zhuhai rose 70% year-on-year, while Qingdao and Wuhan saw increases of 60% and 50%, respectively.
China’s picturesque landscapes and rich culinary culture have frequently been featured in South Korean TV dramas and variety shows, sparking travel interest. The May Day holiday also coincides with a public holiday in South Korea, encouraging young travelers to visit China. January trips to China rose 77% year-on-year, said Hana Tour. 39
More foreign visitors are seeking immersive cultural experiences in rural areas. In Zhangjiajie, bookings from the US, Italy, and Spain surged (激增). 40 They actively participate in farming activities, attend ethnic concerts, and book culinary experiences — including market visits, cooking sessions, and food tastings.
A.Visa-free privacy boosts foreign visits.
B.The surge prompted airlines to add China flights.
C.Foreign visitors are exploring beyond major cities.
D.Favorable tax refund policies have also boosted inbound travel.
E.Data shows that inbound travel bookings surged 130% from a year earlier.
F.Many now prefer cities combining modern facilities with traditional charm.
G.Foreign tourists have also shown increasing interest in in-depth tours and diverse experiences.
【答案】36.E 37.D 38.C 39.B 40.G

You’re in the middle of the afternoon, eyelids heavy, focus slipping. You close your eyes for half an hour and wake up feeling recharged. But later that night, you’re tossing and turning in bed, wondering why you can’t fall asleep. 36
Napping is a double-edged sword. Done right, it’s a powerful way to recharge the brain, improve concentration, and support mental and physical health. Done wrong, it can leave you foggy, disoriented, and struggling to fall asleep later. 37
Most people experience a natural decline in alertness in the early afternoon, typically between 1 pm and 4 pm. This isn’t just due to a heavy lunch. 38 The early afternoon period is part of this cycle, which is why so many people feel sleepy at that time.
Studies suggest that a short nap during this period can help boost alertness, and improve cognitive function without interfering with nighttime sleep. 39 Napping too long may result in waking up feeling worse than before. Once a nap extends beyond 30 minutes, the brain transitions into slow-wave sleep, making it much harder to wake up. And if a nap is taken too late in the day, it can make it harder to fall asleep at night.
40 Keeping naps between 10 and 20 minutes prevents dizziness. The ideal time is before 2 pm—napping too late can push back the body’s natural sleep schedule. The best naps happen in a cool, dark, and quiet environment, similar to nighttime sleep conditions.
A.That midday nap might be the reason.
B.But napping is not suitable for everyone.
C.But there’s something worth paying attention to.
D.To nap effectively, timing and environment matter.
E.Our internal body clock creates cycles of wakefulness and tiredness.
F.These “power naps” allow the brain to rest without slipping into deep sleep.
G.The key lies in understanding how the body regulates sleep and wakefulness.
【答案】36.A 37.G 38.E 39.C 40.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了午睡的好处、坏处以及如何有效地进行午睡。
36.上文“But later that night, you’re tossing and turning in bed, wondering why you can’t fall asleep.(但那天晚上晚些时候,你在床上辗转反侧,想知道为什么自己睡不着)”描述了晚上睡不着的情景,A项(中午的小睡可能是原因)和前文为顺接关系,并引出下文对午睡相关内容的阐述,符合语境,其中“midday nap”和前文描述的情景相呼应,指出中午的小睡可能是晚上睡不着的原因。故选A。
37.上文“Napping is a double-edged sword. Done right, it’s a powerful way to recharge the brain, improve concentration, and support mental and physical health. Done wrong, it can leave you foggy, disoriented, and struggling to fall asleep later.(午睡是一把双刃剑。做对了,它是给大脑充电、提高注意力、支持身心健康的有力方法。做错了,它会让你感到头晕、迷失方向,之后很难入睡)”指出午睡有利有弊,G项(关键在于了解身体是如何调节睡眠和清醒的)承接上文,指出如何发挥午睡的好处,避免其坏处,其中“key”和前文相呼应,指出了解身体如何调节睡眠和清醒是关键。故选G。
38.上文“Most people experience a natural decline in alertness in the early afternoon, typically between 1 pm and 4 pm. This isn’t just due to a heavy lunch.(大多数人在下午早些时候,通常是下午1点到4点之间,会出现警觉性自然下降的情况。这不仅仅是因为午餐吃得太饱)”描述了下午人们警觉性下降的情况,空处应承接上文,解释下午人们警觉性下降的其他原因。E项(我们体内的生物钟创造了清醒和疲劳的周期)承接上文,指出人们下午警觉性下降还因为体内的生物钟创造了清醒和疲劳的周期。故选E。
39.上文“Studies suggest that a short nap during this period can help boost alertness, and improve cognitive function without interfering with nighttime sleep.(研究表明,在这段时间内小睡一会儿有助于提高警觉性,改善认知功能,而且不会影响夜间睡眠)”指出在这段时间内小睡的好处,下文“Napping too long may result in waking up feeling worse than before. Once a nap extends beyond 30 minutes, the brain transitions into slow-wave sleep, making it much harder to wake up. And if a nap is taken too late in the day, it can make it harder to fall asleep at night.(午睡时间过长可能会导致醒来时感觉比以前更糟。一旦午睡时间超过30分钟,大脑就会进入慢波睡眠状态,让人更难醒来。如果午睡时间太晚,晚上就更难入睡)”指出午睡时间过长或过晚的坏处。C项(但有些事情值得注意)承上启下,指出午睡虽然有好处,但也有需要注意的地方。故选C。
40.空处为段落主题句,根据下文“Keeping naps between 10 and 20 minutes prevents dizziness. The ideal time is before 2 pm—napping too late can push back the body’s natural sleep schedule. The best naps happen in a cool, dark, and quiet environment, similar to nighttime sleep conditions.(将午睡时间控制在10到20分钟之间可以防止头晕。理想的时间是下午2点之前——午睡太晚会推迟身体的自然睡眠时间表。最好的午睡环境是凉爽、黑暗和安静的环境,类似于夜间的睡眠条件)”可知,本段主要讲述了如何有效地进行午睡,包括时间和环境等方面。D项(为了有效地午睡,时间和环境很重要)引出下文内容,和下文呼应,适合作为段落主题句。故选D。

With everything going on in the world, it’s no wonder so many of us are struggling to sleep. 36 And it’s hard to fall back asleep again. However, simple steps before bed can help.
Test your pillow. If you bought your pillow in 2022, it’s already old. The National Sleep Foundation suggests replacing your pillow every one to two years. 37 “When your brain is sending pain signals, it can’t send sleep signals,” says Dr Michael J Breus, a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist.
Get an hour of sunlight each day. Morning sunlight is important for good sleep. “It stops producing melatonin in your brain, which, helps relieve the sleepy morning feeling,” Breus says. It also sets a mental time r to produce melatonin, the so-called sleep hormone, that evening. Aim for 15 to 30 minutes of direct light first and two 15-minute outdoor breaks during the day. 38
Skip salty snacks before bed. In a Japanese study, researchers followed 321 patients with high-salt diets and sleep issues for 12 weeks. 39 And those who consumed more salt woke up more often to go to the bathroom.
40 If you need to air complaints to your family, don’t wait until night. Tough discussions are less likely to disturb your sound sleep if you initiate them earlier. Arguments can activate your sympathetic nervous system, which disturbs sleep. Some research even suggests that going to bed angry may make you bad-tempered the next morning.
A.Avoid arguments with your family.
B.Handle your troubles before dinner.
C.It signals your brain that it is time to be awake.
D.It contributes to good health when exposed to light.
E.It’s normal to wake up at night, especially as you age.
F.A used one in the past can cause neck pain and restless sleep.
G.When people cut them down, their average toilet trips decreased.
【答案】36.E 37.F 38.C 39.G 40.B
【导语】本文为说明文。主要说明了当代社会,很多人都出现了睡眠质量问题,本文提出了几条建议,以帮助读者提高睡眠质量。
36.根据上文“With everything going on in the world, it’s no wonder so many of us are struggling to sleep.(随着世界上发生的一切,难怪我们中的许多人都在努力入睡)”描述了现代社会普遍存在睡眠质量问题,后文“And it’s hard to fall back asleep again.(而且很难再次入睡)”描述很难再次入睡,可知本句主要说明夜晚入睡的问题,故E选项“随着年龄增长,半夜醒来很正常”,在此处能起到承上启下的作用。故选E。
37.根据上文“The National Sleep Foundation suggests replacing your pillow every one to two years.(美国国家睡眠基金会建议每一到两年更换一次枕头)”提到需要每 1-2 年更换枕头,下文““When your brain is sending pain signals, it can’t send sleep signals,” says Dr Michael J Breus, a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist.(“当你的大脑发出疼痛信号时,它不能发出睡眠信号,”临床心理学家和睡眠专家Michael J Breus博士说)”继续谈论疼痛带来的影响。F 选项中的代词 “one”指代上文的 pillow,进一步解释原因:用过很久的枕头可能导致颈部疼痛和失眠。故选F。
38.根据本段首句“Get an hour of sunlight each day.(每天享受一小时的阳光)”可知,本段建议要接受足够的阳光。C选项中的“It” 指代上文提到的接受阳光直射和户外休息的行为。这种行为是为了提醒大脑白天保持清醒。C选项“它告诉你的大脑是时候清醒了”符合语境。故选C。
39.根据上文“Skip salty snacks before bed. In a Japanese study, researchers followed 321 patients with high-salt diets and sleep issues for 12 weeks.(睡前不要吃咸的零食。在日本的一项研究中,研究人员对321名患有高盐饮食和睡眠问题的患者进行了为期12周的跟踪调查)”以及后文“And those who consumed more salt woke up more often to go to the bathroom.(而那些摄入更多盐的人更频繁地醒来去洗手间)”可知,指出减少高盐饮食后,起夜次数会减少,与下文 “摄入高盐的更频繁去卫生间”的论述相呼应。G选项“当人们减少摄入时,他们的平均上厕所次数减少了”符合语境,故选G。
40.根据后文“If you need to air complaints to your family, don’t wait until night. Tough discussions are less likely to disturb your sound sleep if you initiate them earlier. Arguments can activate your sympathetic nervous system, which disturbs sleep. Some research even suggests that going to bed angry may make you bad-tempered the next morning.(如果你需要向你的家人抱怨,不要等到晚上。如果你早点开始,艰难的讨论就不太可能打扰你的睡眠。争吵会激活你的交感神经系统,从而扰乱睡眠。一些研究甚至表明,带着怒气上床睡觉可能会让你第二天早上脾气暴躁)”可知,如果需要向家人抱怨,不要拖到晚上。睡前的争论对睡眠有影响,甚至影响第二天的心情。故B选项“本段的建议应该是在晚饭前处理好麻烦”符合语境。故选B。

Have you ever noticed how peaceful the world seems after a good snowfall and how quiet falls over the landscape whenever it snows? 16 Actually, snow does make the world quieter.
Some of the newfound quiet after a snowfall is logical. People tend to stay home during snowstorms, which means there are fewer people outside and not as many cars on the road. And birds tend to stay in their nests during severe weather, so they are quieter during a snowstorm too, according to the National Audubon Society.
17 Snow absorbs sound, so when a fresh blanket of snow covers the landscape, it absorbs many of the sound waves, making it seem quieter outside, according to AccuWeather.
Sound absorption is rated on a scale of 0 to 1, AccuWeather reports. Something with a sound absorption rating of 0.5 absorbs 50 percent of sound, for example. The sound absorption rating of snow falls somewhere between 0.5 and 0.9. 18
The reason why snow is able to absorb sound is that it is porous (多孔的). Snowflakes are six-sided crystals, and they are filled with open spaces. Those spaces absorb sound waves, creating a quieting effect over a blanket of snow.
However, not all snowfalls are equal when it comes to silencing the world outside. 19 Usually a few inches of snow is needed to have a noticeable quieting effect, according to AccuWeather.
20 The reason? The snowflakes change shape as they melt (融化), reducing the size of the spaces between the crystals. As temperatures fluctuate (波动) in winter, newly fallen snow can partially melt and then freeze. Once the snow turns into ice, it can actually increase nearby sounds because ice reflects sound waves rather than absorbing them.
A.As snow melts, it loses its silencing ability.
B.It’s not your mind playing tricks on you.
C.But there’s science behind the silence as well.
D.That means it absorbs much of the surrounding sound.
E.Just a dusting of snow isn’t enough to absorb much sound.
F.It’s better to experience the quiet than just admire it indoors.
G.So silence that falls over the world after a fresh snowfall is temporary.
【答案】16.B 17.C 18.D 19.E 20.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了下雪后世界变得安静的原因。
16.上文“Have you ever noticed how peaceful the world seems after a good snowfall and how quiet falls over the landscape whenever it snows?(你有没有注意到,一场大雪过后,世界似乎变得多么宁静,每当雪花飘落,大地变得多么安静?)”提出下雪后世界变安静这一现象并引发思考。B选项“It’s not your mind playing tricks on you.(这不是你的头脑在捉弄你)”承接上文,表明下雪后世界确实会变安静,并非大脑捉弄人们,让人们产生错觉,上下文语意衔接自然。故选B项。
17.上文“Some of the newfound quiet after a snowfall is logical. People tend to stay home during snowstorms, which means there are fewer people outside and not as many cars on the road. And birds tend to stay in their nests during severe weather, so they are quieter during a snowstorm too, according to the National Audubon Society.(下雪后的一些新发现的安静是合乎逻辑的。在暴风雪期间,人们倾向于呆在家里,这意味着外面的人更少,路上的汽车也没有那么多。据美国国家奥杜邦协会称,鸟类在恶劣天气时倾向于呆在鸟巢里,所以它们在暴风雪期间也会更安静)”从人、鸟活动方面说明了下雪后安静的原因。C选项“But there’s science behind the silence as well.(但这种安静背后也有科学原理)”引出下文从科学角度解释雪能吸收声音这一原因,与上文构成递进关系,选项中“science”与下文的科学解释“Snow absorbs sound, so when a fresh blanket of snow covers the landscape, it absorbs many of the sound waves, making it seem quieter outside, according to AccuWeather.(据AccuWeather称,雪会吸收声音,所以当一层新雪覆盖地面时,它会吸收许多声波,使室外看起来更安静)”相照应。故选C项。
18.上文“The sound absorption rating of snow falls somewhere between 0.5 and 0.9.(雪的吸音率在0.5到0.9之间)”说明了雪的吸音率情况。D选项“That means it absorbs much of the surrounding sound.(这意味着它能吸收大部分周围的声音)”对上文雪的吸音率情况进行总结,表明雪能吸收大部分声音,选项中“That”指代上文雪的吸音率情况。故选D项。
19.下文“Usually a few inches of snow is needed to have a noticeable quieting effect(通常需要几英寸厚的雪才能有明显的安静效果)”说明了要有明显安静效果所需雪的厚度。E选项“Just a dusting of snow isn’t enough to absorb much sound.(仅仅薄薄一层雪不足以吸收很多声音)”与下文相呼应,说明少量雪不能很好地吸收声音,需要一定厚度的雪才行,上下文逻辑连贯。故选E项。
20.下文“The reason? The snowflakes change shape as they melt (融化), reducing the size of the spaces between the crystals. As temperatures fluctuate (波动) in winter, newly fallen snow can partially melt and then freeze. Once the snow turns into ice, it can actually increase nearby sounds because ice reflects sound waves rather than absorbing them.(原因是什么呢?雪花在融化时会改变形状,减小晶体之间的空隙大小。在冬季,随着气温波动,新下的雪可能会部分融化然后再冻结。一旦雪变成冰,实际上会增加附近的声音,因为冰会反射声波而不是吸收它们)”解释了雪融化后失去吸音能力的原因。A选项“As snow melts, it loses its silencing ability.(随着雪融化,它会失去吸音能力)”引出下文对雪融化后情况的说明,上下文逻辑合理。故选A项。

How to Refresh Yourself?
Taking time to care for your mind is crucial for you to prevent burnout. Failing to give yourself the care that you deserve can lead to you feeling anxious. 16
Do a walking meditation (冥想). If you’re not particularly good at sitting and meditating, try starting with a walking meditation. Find a quiet space and walk from one end of it to the other, back and forth, paying careful attention to the experience of walking. 17 Instead, just let them pass and work on quieting your mind once more.
18 This is also referred to as being mindful. Try to slow down and be present in each moment, and to do things with intention. Doing this will help you feel more joyful and calm every day. This may be difficult at first, but it will get easier with time. Whenever you get distracted (分心), just gently draw your attention back to the moment and your intention.
Write in a journal every day. Keeping a regular journal can help you get in touch with yourself and how you really feel about things. 19 Set aside 20 minutes each day to write in your journal. It’s better to write in a physical journal as opposed to using your computer. Go to a bookstore and get yourself a nice journal that you feel excited to write in. You might also get yourself a nice pen!
Disconnect. Countless studies have linked the use of technology, including computers, cell phones and TVs, to tiredness, sleeping problems and depression. 20 You can read a book, go for a walk, or do whatever may appeal to you.
A.Learn to live in the moment.
B.Avoid distractions through mediation.
C.It can also help you solve problems and relax.
D.As annoying thoughts come into your mind, don’t engage with them.
E.By making use of some strategies, you can keep yourself feeling refreshed.
F.Using a physical journal is more effective, but any journal is better than nothing.
G.It’s important to set aside time to do something that doesn’t involve looking at a screen.
【答案】16.E 17.D 18.A 19.C 20.G

Many of us start a “health kick” or “organization drive”, seeking to change all our behaviors at once. 16 A typical reason why New Year’s resolutions don’t work is that people try to change too many things at once. Changing even a small habit requires time and effort, and trying to change several things at once often results in failure.
Taking one step at a time may involve breaking a habit into smaller parts and addressing each part individually. 17 Starting small can be effective; for example, if you want to drink more water, begin with one glass daily at the same time. After a few days, gradually increase your intake instead of attempting to drink eight glasses right away.
18 Instead of trying to reinvent yourself, focus on adjusting the aspects you’re unhappy with. Aiming for “good enough” in your habits boosts your chances of success, while striving for “perfect” can lead to failure. For instance, giving up cigarettes might be achievable, but expecting to cut out all treats, drink three liters of water daily, and go to the gym five times a week is unrealistic.
Include small rewards into your plan for achieving milestones. This could include a treat (not chocolate if you’re trying to lose weight), a small gift, or time spent enjoying a movie or a hot bath. 19
Finally, seek support from trusted individuals and replace bad habits with better ones. 20 By focusing on gradual changes and realistic goals, you can improve your chances of long-term success.
A.Invite support.
B.Be realistic about your goals.
C.However, this rarely leads to success.
D.Find ways to remind yourself why you are doing this.
E.Celebrate your achievements, but avoid self-criticism.
F.It’s essential to create a clear plan outlining what you will do and when.
G.Finding alternative activities can make it easier to break unwanted behaviors.
【答案】16.C 17.F 18.B 19.E 20.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了人们在改变习惯时,经常因一次性尝试过多而失败的现象。文章建议人们采取逐步改变的方法,设定现实目标并逐步实施,以提高成功的可能性。同时,获取支持和奖励自己也是实现长期改变的重要策略。
16.根据上文“Many of us start a “health kick” or “organization drive”, seeking to change all our behaviors at once.(我们很多人会发起“健康运动”或“组织活动”,试图一次性改变自己的所有行为习惯)”以及后文“A typical reason why New Year’s resolutions don’t work is that people try to change too many things at once. Changing even a small habit requires time and effort, and trying to change several things at once often results in failure.(新年决心未能实现的一个常见原因在于,人们试图一次性改变太多的事情。哪怕只是改变一个小小的习惯也需要时间和精力,而试图同时改变多个方面往往会导致失败)”可知,第一段开头提到人们试图一次性改变所有行为,空后句提到新年决心不起作用的一个典型原因是人们试图一次改变太多的事情。C选项“然而,这种情况很少能带来成功”承接前一句,说明这种做法的结果或问题,并自然过渡到失败原因。故选C。
17.根据上文“Taking one step at a time may involve breaking a habit into smaller parts and addressing each part individually(一步一步来可能意味着要将一个习惯分解成更小的部分,然后分别去解决每一部分的问题)”以及后文“Starting small can be effective; for example, if you want to drink more water, begin with one glass daily at the same time. After a few days, gradually increase your intake instead of attempting to drink eight glasses right away.(从小事做起往往也能取得成效。比如,如果你想多喝水,可以先从每天在同一时间喝一杯水开始。几天后,再逐渐增加饮水量,而不是一开始就试图一口气喝下八杯水)”可知,第二段讲逐步改变习惯的方法,先提到分解习惯,后给出从小处开始的例子(如每天喝一杯水)。选项F“制定一个清晰的计划是至关重要的,该计划应明确说明你要做什么以及何时去做”承接前文的分解方法,并引出具体实施方法,强调计划对逐步改变的重要性,并与后文从小处开始的例子相呼应。故选F。
18.根据本段内容“Instead of trying to reinvent yourself, focus on adjusting the aspects you’re unhappy with. Aiming for “good enough” in your habits boosts your chances of success, while striving for “perfect” can lead to failure. For instance, giving up cigarettes might be achievable, but expecting to cut out all treats, drink three liters of water daily, and go to the gym five times a week is unrealistic.(与其试图彻底改变自己,不如专注于调整那些让你感到不满的方面。在习惯上追求“足够好”能增加成功的几率,而追求“完美”则可能导致失败。例如,戒烟或许是可以做到的,但期望完全杜绝所有零食、每天喝三升水以及每周去健身房五次则是不切实际的)”可知,本空位于段首,为段落主题句。本段讲述了在习惯改变中应注重调整不满意的方面,而非追求完美。设定“足够好”的目标能提高成功率, 而过高的期望往往导致失败。选项B“要对你的目标保持现实的态度”引出这一段的建议,统领全段内容。故选 B。
19.根据上文“Include small rewards into your plan for achieving milestones. This could include a treat (not chocolate if you’re trying to lose weight), a small gift, or time spent enjoying a movie or a hot bath.(在实现阶段性目标的计划中加入一些小奖励。这些奖励可以是某种小礼物(如果你正在减肥的话,就不要选择巧克力了),也可以是一份小惊喜,比如一起看场电影或者泡个热水澡的时光)”可知,第四段讲述了奖励的重要性,本空位于段尾,需表达总结或补充奖励的意义。选项E“要庆祝自己的成就,但要避免自我批评”与前文“奖励的积极鼓励”相呼应,且文章下一段已转向新主题,E项符合语境。故选E。
20.根据上文“Finally, seek support from trusted individuals and replace bad habits with better ones.(最后,要寻求可信赖之人的支持,并用更好的习惯取代不良习惯)”可知,最后一段讲述了寻求支持和替换习惯,空后句“By focusing on gradual changes and realistic goals, you can improve your chances of long-term success.(通过注重渐进式的改变以及制定切实可行的目标,你就能增加实现长期成功的机会)”总结成功的关键是通过关注渐进的变化和现实可行的目标。选项G“寻找其他活动方式能够更有效地帮助我们克服不良行为”与前文中的“replace bad habits”呼应,承接“替换习惯”并引出总结。故选G。

What is “Spaying”?
Impulse buying. Paying bills late. Emotional spending. 16 . But other practices are more harmful — like “spaying.”
“Spaying” refers to the act of spending in order to save. With many items on sale, spayers purchase a lot of discounted goods, believing they can save in the long term. 17 . In fact, they can trick you into spending more, leading to credit card debt. To avoid falling into the trap of spaying, experts share practical tips on how to make wiser purchasing decisions.
18
Resist the desire to spay by avoiding sale reminders however possible. It is advised to unsubscribe from newsletters that send you the latest sales and deals from your favorite brands. Turn off notifications in deal apps — or delete them altogether.
Set aside a waiting period
Always sleep on a potential purchase to give yourself time to think it over. 19 . Experts recommended adopting a 24-hour waiting period, or even going a step further with a 48-hour rule before buying something, even if it’s on sale.
Make a spending budget
Assess your spending habits to create awareness and come up with a plan to cut back little by little. It’s also a good idea to take a look at just how much you’ve spent over the year so far on excess purchases, which can be shocking and give you an urge to make changes.
If you’re buying something to make yourself feel better after a bad day or as a reward for a job well done, the fleeting feelings will pass. 20 .
A.Avoid sale pushes.
B.Stick to your shopping list.
C.It’s clear why these financial habits are bad.
D.This allows that excitement of the deal to fade.
E.If you do, even another ten dollars will be spent.
F.However, cheap items are not necessarily good deals.
G.So do find other ways to cope with sadness or to celebrate wins.

16.上文“Impulse buying. Paying bills late. Emotional spending.(冲动购买。迟交账单。情感消费)”提到三种不良的消费习惯,而下文“But other practices are more harmful— like “spaying.”(但是还有其他更有害的做法,即“绝育式消费”)”说明还有其他更有害的做法,即“绝育式消费”。空处需要承上启下,C项中的“these financial habits”指代前文中提到了三个不好的消费习惯,和后文形成转折关系,从而引出下文的更严重的问题。所以C项“很明显,这些理财习惯为什么不好”符合语境。故选C。
17.上文““Spaying” refers to the act of spending in order to save. With many items on sale, spayers purchase a lot of discounted goods, believing they can save in the long term.(“绝育式消费”指的是为了省钱而花费的行为。当有许多商品打折时,进行绝育式消费的人会购买大量打折商品,认为这样长期来看可以省钱)”说明“绝育式消费者”购买大量打折商品,认为长期下来能省钱。由此推知,空处和前文形成转折关系,指出事实并非如此。所以F项“然而,廉价商品不一定是划算的。”符合语境,该项中的“cheap items”和前文中的“the act of spending in order to save”相呼应。故选F。
18.下文“Resist the desire to spay by avoiding sale reminders however possible.(通过各种可能的方式避免销售提醒,以抵制绝育式消费的欲望)”说明本段主要讲述如何通过避免销售提醒来抵制“绝育式消费”的欲望。A项“避免销售推销”适合作本段的主旨句。故选A。
19.上文“Always sleep on a potential purchase to give yourself-time to think it over.(对于想要购买的物品,先不要着急下单,给自己一些时间仔细考虑一下)”以及下文“Experts recommended adopting a 24-hour waiting period, or even going a step further with a 48-hour rule before buying something, even if it’s on sale.(专家建议在购买东西之前采用24小时的等待期,甚至更进一步,采用48小时的规则,即使它正在打折)”说明给自己时间考虑潜在的购买行为。空处承接上文,指出这样做的好处,又为下文的建议做了铺垫。所以D项“这使得交易的兴奋感逐渐消退。”符合语境。故选D。
20.上文“If you’re buying something to make yourself feel better after a bad day or as a reward for a job well done, the fleeting feelings will pass.(如果你买东西是为了在糟糕的一天后让自己感觉更好,或者作为对出色工作的奖励,那么转瞬即逝的感觉就会过去)”说明如果你因为心情不好或工作表现出色而买东西来奖励自己,那么这种短暂的感觉会很快过去。空处需要给出建议,即寻找其他方式来应对悲伤或庆祝胜利。所以G项“所以,一定要找到其他方法来应对悲伤或庆祝胜利。”符合语境,承接了上文,给出了实用的建议。故选G。

Every time I put on my seat belt, check my mirror and turn on the engine, I type in the address of wherever I’m going into my phone. 16 Without the guide of GPS — the Global Positioning System — not only would I be lost, I’d feel lost. It makes me wonder: Is there anything I can do to improve my navigation (导航) skills? The answer is yes. Here are some steps you can take to boost your sense of direction.
17 If you’re not pressed for time, give up the automobile navigation and try to find your way around town. Next time you go for a walk, go down a road you’ve not walked. Or take the scenic route to your favorite bar. This works if you’re walking, biking or driving. Then see if you can make it back home without a GPS.
Use landmarks to direct yourself. 18 To identify your position, the experts suggest picking a few landmarks in town to help navigate yourself. The ideal landmark is large and far away, like a big sign, a highway, a tall building or a bridge.
Be curious about your surroundings. Whether you’re going somewhere new or to a place you’ve been to many times, it’s helpful to just turn around and see what the view looks like behind you. 19 This gives you visual reminders on how to get back.
Use memory tricks to remember where you are. People with a good sense of direction know their streets. If you aren’t such a person, you can try an expert navigation method. Commit street names, landmarks and routes to memory by using tricks to lock things in. 20
A.Take your time to map your town.
B.I have a terrible sense of direction.
C.Turn off your GPS and get lost on purpose.
D.What landmarks will you recommend to visitors?
E.This is especially helpful when street names are abstract.
F.Not sure if you’re north, south, east or west from home?
G.Looking at your surroundings can help you remember your route.

17.设空处为段首句,引领下文;根据下文“If you’re not pressed for time, give up the automobile navigation and try to find your way around town.(如果你时间不急,放弃汽车导航,试着在城里找路。)”可知,本段建议关掉汽车导航,试着在城里自己找路,故意让自己迷路,以此来提高导航技能。所以选项C“关掉你的GPS,故意迷路”符合语境。故选C。
18.根据下文“To identify your position, the experts suggest picking a few landmarks in town to help navigate yourself.(为了确定你的位置,专家建议在城里挑选一些地标来帮助你导航。)”可知,本段建议利用地标来给自己指引方向,确定自己的位置,说明有时候我们可能不清楚自己的具体位置,所以需要地标来帮忙确定,选项F“不确定你家是在北边、南边、东边还是西边?”引出下文,符合语境。故选F。
19.根据上文“Whether you’re going somewhere new or to a place you’ve been to many times, it’s helpful to just turn around and see what the view looks like behind you.(无论你是要去一个新的地方,还是去过很多次的地方,只要转过身来看看身后的景色,都会很有帮助。)”和下文“This gives you visual reminders on how to get back.(这给了你视觉上的提示,告诉你如何回去。)”可知,本段建议多观察周围的环境,转过身来看看身后的景色,这有助于记住路线,给自己如何返回提供视觉上的提示,选项G“观察周围的环境可以帮助你记住路线”承上启下,符合语境。故选G。

The healing power of thinking of others
Volunteering can greatly improve both emotional and physical happiness. While self-care is important, helping others can also be a powerful path to healing(疗愈). 16 Research highlights its benefits. A 2013 analysis of 40 studies found that volunteering reduces depression and boosts life satisfaction. Additionally, volunteers at food banks often report feeling less lonely, while a US study found they are more likely to experience calmness, purpose, and peace.
Beyond emotional benefits, volunteering also improves physical health. A Carnegie Mellon University study revealed that dedicating 200 hours a year to volunteering lowers the risk of high blood pressure by 40%. 17 It is linked to a lower risk of heart attacks and early death. This connection highlights the close link between emotional and physical happiness.
For some, volunteering can even provide a helpful escape during emotional struggles. Therapist Mel Riley shares her own experience, noting that supporting others helped her manage her depression. Riley believes that focusing on others can provide a break from intense feelings. 18
19 Animal lovers, environmental supporters, or those who enjoy socializing can all find meaningful ways to contribute. Volunteering can be formal, like helping charities, or informal, such as assisting a neighbor or joining online support groups. Even sharing your knowledge in areas like healthy eating or gardening can be meaningful.
Riley emphasizes that volunteering should feel rewarding rather than burdensome. Studies suggest dedicating just two hours a week is enough to gain mental health benefits. 20 Riley warns that frequent tears, anxiety, or feelings of hopelessness may signal burnout. In such cases, stepping back is important, and it’s perfectly okay to say no if you’re struggling.
A.This shift creates space for healing.
B.However, it’s crucial to maintain balance.
C.It’s vital for both sides’ growth and happiness.
D.Helping’s joy has been recognized since the 1980s.
E.Studies show volunteering with a strong purpose benefits health.
F.Volunteering aids emotional healing and boosts the increase of wealth.
G.Finding the right volunteer role depends on personal interests and skills.

The Significance of a Healthy Lifestyle
As senior high students, we often find ourselves buried under a pile of textbooks and assignments, making it easy to neglect our health. 16
A healthy lifestyle significantly contributes to physical fitness. Regular exercise, for example, is a cornerstone of physical well-being. When we engage in jogging, swimming, or cycling, it helps to strengthen our muscles, improve cardiovascular function, and boost our immune system. 17 Additionally, a balanced diet is equally important. Consuming a variety of foods, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, provides our bodies with necessary nutrients to function optimally.
Mental health also benefits from a healthy lifestyle. Adequate sleep, which is an essential part of it, allows our brains to rest and recover. When we get enough sleep, we wake up feeling refreshed and ready to face the day. 18 Moreover, activities like meditation or yoga, which are often associated with a healthy lifestyle, can help reduce stress and anxiety. They provide a moment of calm in our busy lives, allowing us to focus on the present and gain a sense of inner peace.
19 When individuals are healthy, they are less likely to rely on medical resources, thus reducing the burden on the healthcare system. For example, a community where people are encouraged to exercise regularly and eat healthily may have a stronger sense of unity as neighbors participate in fitness events or share healthy recipes.
In the long run, a healthy lifestyle has far-reaching implications for our quality of life. People who maintain healthy habits are more likely to have a higher energy level throughout their lives. This means they can actively participate in various activities, like pursuing hobbies, or engaging in community work. 20 They may experience a decline in their physical and mental capabilities at a relatively young age, limiting their life choices and experiences.
A.A healthy lifestyle also plays a positive role in our social life.
B.These physical activities can also help us maintain a healthy weight.
C.However, a healthy lifestyle is crucial for our well-being and academic performance.
D.This can lead to better concentration, improved memory, and enhanced mood.
E.In contrast, those with unhealthy lifestyles may lead an inactive life.
F.There are many ways to start living a healthy lifestyle.
G.What’s more, a healthy lifestyle can save a large amount of medical expenses.

It was a winter morning when I received a package with no return address. The plain brown wrapping gave no clues, and my name was handwritten in shaky letters. 16
Inside was a small wooden box, its surface carved with intricate patterns of vines and birds. I lifted the lid. A faint scent of cedar (雪松) filled the air. 17 It was my grandmother’s brooch (胸针) — the one she always wore to Sunday dinners, with a single pearl suspended like a dewdrop. She had passed away three months earlier, and the family assumed the jewelry had been lost in the chaos of her estate.
My hands trembled as I picked it up. 18 The weight of the brooch in my palm felt like a connection to a past I had been neglecting. Then I noticed a slip of paper tucked beneath the velvet lining. The handwriting matched the package: “For the girl who loved listening to stories under the old oak tree. Keep this close when you write yours.”
19 Only Grandma called me that during our summer visits. I hadn’t seen her in two years before her death — too busy with school and friends to visit. Guilt washed over me like a tide. How easily life’s distractions can pull us away from what truly matters.
That evening, I examined the brooch under lamplight. 20 The year Grandma and I had spent afternoons recording made-up tales about the birds in her garden. I sat there, tears blurring my vision, as I remembered those carefree days. From that moment on, I vowed never to let life’s busyness overshadow the simple joys of family and connection.
A.A glimmer of silver caught my eye.
B.The nickname “Storybird” leaped out at me.
C.The postmark showed a town 200 miles away.
D.On the back was a date, the summer I turned ten.
E.Whoever sent this knew my childhood intimately.
F.For a moment, I simply stared, afraid it might vanish.
G.Layers of dust suggested it hadn’t been opened for decades.

19.根据后文“Only Grandma called me that during our summer visits. I hadn’t seen her in two years before her death — too busy with school and friends to visit. Guilt washed over me like a tide. How easily life’s distractions can pull us away from what truly matters. (只有奶奶在我们夏天来的时候才这么叫我。在她去世前的两年里,我没有见过她,因为我忙于学校和朋友,没有时间去看望她。内疚如潮水般涌上我的心头。生活是多么容易让我们分心,让我们远离真正重要的事情。)”可知,纸条上的“the girl who loved listening to stories”对应祖母对 “我”的昵称,本句点明纸条内容的特殊意义。故B选项“‘故事鸟’的绰号一下子吸引了我。”符合语境,故选B。

China’s inbound (入境的) tourism market saw strong recovery and growth during the just-concluded May Day holiday. 36
China has been opening its doors wider to international travelers. In 2024, the country expanded its one-sided visa-free policy to include 38 countries, allowing visits of up to 30 days. 37 In late April, China lowered the tax refund threshold from 500 yuan to 200 yuan and raised the cash refund limit from 10,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan. There is no limit on refunds processed by bank transfer.
38 While top-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai remained popular, destinations including Chengdu, Chongqing, and Zhuhai made the list of top inbound choices. Hotel bookings by foreign tourists in Zhuhai rose 70% year-on-year, while Qingdao and Wuhan saw increases of 60% and 50%, respectively.
China’s picturesque landscapes and rich culinary culture have frequently been featured in South Korean TV dramas and variety shows, sparking travel interest. The May Day holiday also coincides with a public holiday in South Korea, encouraging young travelers to visit China. January trips to China rose 77% year-on-year, said Hana Tour. 39
More foreign visitors are seeking immersive cultural experiences in rural areas. In Zhangjiajie, bookings from the US, Italy, and Spain surged (激增). 40 They actively participate in farming activities, attend ethnic concerts, and book culinary experiences — including market visits, cooking sessions, and food tastings.
A.Visa-free privacy boosts foreign visits.
B.The surge prompted airlines to add China flights.
C.Foreign visitors are exploring beyond major cities.
D.Favorable tax refund policies have also boosted inbound travel.
E.Data shows that inbound travel bookings surged 130% from a year earlier.
F.Many now prefer cities combining modern facilities with traditional charm.
G.Foreign tourists have also shown increasing interest in in-depth tours and diverse experiences.

You’re in the middle of the afternoon, eyelids heavy, focus slipping. You close your eyes for half an hour and wake up feeling recharged. But later that night, you’re tossing and turning in bed, wondering why you can’t fall asleep. 36
Napping is a double-edged sword. Done right, it’s a powerful way to recharge the brain, improve concentration, and support mental and physical health. Done wrong, it can leave you foggy, disoriented, and struggling to fall asleep later. 37
Most people experience a natural decline in alertness in the early afternoon, typically between 1 pm and 4 pm. This isn’t just due to a heavy lunch. 38 The early afternoon period is part of this cycle, which is why so many people feel sleepy at that time.
Studies suggest that a short nap during this period can help boost alertness, and improve cognitive function without interfering with nighttime sleep. 39 Napping too long may result in waking up feeling worse than before. Once a nap extends beyond 30 minutes, the brain transitions into slow-wave sleep, making it much harder to wake up. And if a nap is taken too late in the day, it can make it harder to fall asleep at night.
40 Keeping naps between 10 and 20 minutes prevents dizziness. The ideal time is before 2 pm—napping too late can push back the body’s natural sleep schedule. The best naps happen in a cool, dark, and quiet environment, similar to nighttime sleep conditions.
A.That midday nap might be the reason.
B.But napping is not suitable for everyone.
C.But there’s something worth paying attention to.
D.To nap effectively, timing and environment matter.
E.Our internal body clock creates cycles of wakefulness and tiredness.
F.These “power naps” allow the brain to rest without slipping into deep sleep.
G.The key lies in understanding how the body regulates sleep and wakefulness.

With everything going on in the world, it’s no wonder so many of us are struggling to sleep. 36 And it’s hard to fall back asleep again. However, simple steps before bed can help.
Test your pillow. If you bought your pillow in 2022, it’s already old. The National Sleep Foundation suggests replacing your pillow every one to two years. 37 “When your brain is sending pain signals, it can’t send sleep signals,” says Dr Michael J Breus, a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist.
Get an hour of sunlight each day. Morning sunlight is important for good sleep. “It stops producing melatonin in your brain, which, helps relieve the sleepy morning feeling,” Breus says. It also sets a mental time r to produce melatonin, the so-called sleep hormone, that evening. Aim for 15 to 30 minutes of direct light first and two 15-minute outdoor breaks during the day. 38
Skip salty snacks before bed. In a Japanese study, researchers followed 321 patients with high-salt diets and sleep issues for 12 weeks. 39 And those who consumed more salt woke up more often to go to the bathroom.
40 If you need to air complaints to your family, don’t wait until night. Tough discussions are less likely to disturb your sound sleep if you initiate them earlier. Arguments can activate your sympathetic nervous system, which disturbs sleep. Some research even suggests that going to bed angry may make you bad-tempered the next morning.
A.Avoid arguments with your family.
B.Handle your troubles before dinner.
C.It signals your brain that it is time to be awake.
D.It contributes to good health when exposed to light.
E.It’s normal to wake up at night, especially as you age.
F.A used one in the past can cause neck pain and restless sleep.
G.When people cut them down, their average toilet trips decreased.

Have you ever noticed how peaceful the world seems after a good snowfall and how quiet falls over the landscape whenever it snows? 16 Actually, snow does make the world quieter.
Some of the newfound quiet after a snowfall is logical. People tend to stay home during snowstorms, which means there are fewer people outside and not as many cars on the road. And birds tend to stay in their nests during severe weather, so they are quieter during a snowstorm too, according to the National Audubon Society.
17 Snow absorbs sound, so when a fresh blanket of snow covers the landscape, it absorbs many of the sound waves, making it seem quieter outside, according to AccuWeather.
Sound absorption is rated on a scale of 0 to 1, AccuWeather reports. Something with a sound absorption rating of 0.5 absorbs 50 percent of sound, for example. The sound absorption rating of snow falls somewhere between 0.5 and 0.9. 18
The reason why snow is able to absorb sound is that it is porous (多孔的). Snowflakes are six-sided crystals, and they are filled with open spaces. Those spaces absorb sound waves, creating a quieting effect over a blanket of snow.
However, not all snowfalls are equal when it comes to silencing the world outside. 19 Usually a few inches of snow is needed to have a noticeable quieting effect, according to AccuWeather.
20 The reason? The snowflakes change shape as they melt (融化), reducing the size of the spaces between the crystals. As temperatures fluctuate (波动) in winter, newly fallen snow can partially melt and then freeze. Once the snow turns into ice, it can actually increase nearby sounds because ice reflects sound waves rather than absorbing them.
A.As snow melts, it loses its silencing ability.
B.It’s not your mind playing tricks on you.
C.But there’s science behind the silence as well.
D.That means it absorbs much of the surrounding sound.
E.Just a dusting of snow isn’t enough to absorb much sound.
F.It’s better to experience the quiet than just admire it indoors.
G.So silence that falls over the world after a fresh snowfall is temporary.

How to Refresh Yourself?
Taking time to care for your mind is crucial for you to prevent burnout. Failing to give yourself the care that you deserve can lead to you feeling anxious. 16
Do a walking meditation (冥想). If you’re not particularly good at sitting and meditating, try starting with a walking meditation. Find a quiet space and walk from one end of it to the other, back and forth, paying careful attention to the experience of walking. 17 Instead, just let them pass and work on quieting your mind once more.
18 This is also referred to as being mindful. Try to slow down and be present in each moment, and to do things with intention. Doing this will help you feel more joyful and calm every day. This may be difficult at first, but it will get easier with time. Whenever you get distracted (分心), just gently draw your attention back to the moment and your intention.
Write in a journal every day. Keeping a regular journal can help you get in touch with yourself and how you really feel about things. 19 Set aside 20 minutes each day to write in your journal. It’s better to write in a physical journal as opposed to using your computer. Go to a bookstore and get yourself a nice journal that you feel excited to write in. You might also get yourself a nice pen!
Disconnect. Countless studies have linked the use of technology, including computers, cell phones and TVs, to tiredness, sleeping problems and depression. 20 You can read a book, go for a walk, or do whatever may appeal to you.
A.Learn to live in the moment.
B.Avoid distractions through mediation.
C.It can also help you solve problems and relax.
D.As annoying thoughts come into your mind, don’t engage with them.
E.By making use of some strategies, you can keep yourself feeling refreshed.
F.Using a physical journal is more effective, but any journal is better than nothing.
G.It’s important to set aside time to do something that doesn’t involve looking at a screen.

Many of us start a “health kick” or “organization drive”, seeking to change all our behaviors at once. 16 A typical reason why New Year’s resolutions don’t work is that people try to change too many things at once. Changing even a small habit requires time and effort, and trying to change several things at once often results in failure.
Taking one step at a time may involve breaking a habit into smaller parts and addressing each part individually. 17 Starting small can be effective; for example, if you want to drink more water, begin with one glass daily at the same time. After a few days, gradually increase your intake instead of attempting to drink eight glasses right away.
18 Instead of trying to reinvent yourself, focus on adjusting the aspects you’re unhappy with. Aiming for “good enough” in your habits boosts your chances of success, while striving for “perfect” can lead to failure. For instance, giving up cigarettes might be achievable, but expecting to cut out all treats, drink three liters of water daily, and go to the gym five times a week is unrealistic.
Include small rewards into your plan for achieving milestones. This could include a treat (not chocolate if you’re trying to lose weight), a small gift, or time spent enjoying a movie or a hot bath. 19
Finally, seek support from trusted individuals and replace bad habits with better ones. 20 By focusing on gradual changes and realistic goals, you can improve your chances of long-term success.
A.Invite support.
B.Be realistic about your goals.
C.However, this rarely leads to success.
D.Find ways to remind yourself why you are doing this.
E.Celebrate your achievements, but avoid self-criticism.
F.It’s essential to create a clear plan outlining what you will do and when.
G.Finding alternative activities can make it easier to break unwanted behaviors.

What is “Spaying”?
Impulse buying. Paying bills late. Emotional spending. 16 . But other practices are more harmful — like “spaying.”
“Spaying” refers to the act of spending in order to save. With many items on sale, spayers purchase a lot of discounted goods, believing they can save in the long term. 17 . In fact, they can trick you into spending more, leading to credit card debt. To avoid falling into the trap of spaying, experts share practical tips on how to make wiser purchasing decisions.
18
Resist the desire to spay by avoiding sale reminders however possible. It is advised to unsubscribe from newsletters that send you the latest sales and deals from your favorite brands. Turn off notifications in deal apps — or delete them altogether.
Set aside a waiting period
Always sleep on a potential purchase to give yourself time to think it over. 19 . Experts recommended adopting a 24-hour waiting period, or even going a step further with a 48-hour rule before buying something, even if it’s on sale.
Make a spending budget
Assess your spending habits to create awareness and come up with a plan to cut back little by little. It’s also a good idea to take a look at just how much you’ve spent over the year so far on excess purchases, which can be shocking and give you an urge to make changes.
If you’re buying something to make yourself feel better after a bad day or as a reward for a job well done, the fleeting feelings will pass. 20 .
A.Avoid sale pushes.
B.Stick to your shopping list.
C.It’s clear why these financial habits are bad.
D.This allows that excitement of the deal to fade.
E.If you do, even another ten dollars will be spent.
F.However, cheap items are not necessarily good deals.
G.So do find other ways to cope with sadness or to celebrate wins.

Every time I put on my seat belt, check my mirror and turn on the engine, I type in the address of wherever I’m going into my phone. 16 Without the guide of GPS — the Global Positioning System — not only would I be lost, I’d feel lost. It makes me wonder: Is there anything I can do to improve my navigation (导航) skills? The answer is yes. Here are some steps you can take to boost your sense of direction.
17 If you’re not pressed for time, give up the automobile navigation and try to find your way around town. Next time you go for a walk, go down a road you’ve not walked. Or take the scenic route to your favorite bar. This works if you’re walking, biking or driving. Then see if you can make it back home without a GPS.
Use landmarks to direct yourself. 18 To identify your position, the experts suggest picking a few landmarks in town to help navigate yourself. The ideal landmark is large and far away, like a big sign, a highway, a tall building or a bridge.
Be curious about your surroundings. Whether you’re going somewhere new or to a place you’ve been to many times, it’s helpful to just turn around and see what the view looks like behind you. 19 This gives you visual reminders on how to get back.
Use memory tricks to remember where you are. People with a good sense of direction know their streets. If you aren’t such a person, you can try an expert navigation method. Commit street names, landmarks and routes to memory by using tricks to lock things in. 20
A.Take your time to map your town.
B.I have a terrible sense of direction.
C.Turn off your GPS and get lost on purpose.
D.What landmarks will you recommend to visitors?
E.This is especially helpful when street names are abstract.
F.Not sure if you’re north, south, east or west from home?
G.Looking at your surroundings can help you remember your route.

The healing power of thinking of others
Volunteering can greatly improve both emotional and physical happiness. While self-care is important, helping others can also be a powerful path to healing(疗愈). 16 Research highlights its benefits. A 2013 analysis of 40 studies found that volunteering reduces depression and boosts life satisfaction. Additionally, volunteers at food banks often report feeling less lonely, while a US study found they are more likely to experience calmness, purpose, and peace.
Beyond emotional benefits, volunteering also improves physical health. A Carnegie Mellon University study revealed that dedicating 200 hours a year to volunteering lowers the risk of high blood pressure by 40%. 17 It is linked to a lower risk of heart attacks and early death. This connection highlights the close link between emotional and physical happiness.
For some, volunteering can even provide a helpful escape during emotional struggles. Therapist Mel Riley shares her own experience, noting that supporting others helped her manage her depression. Riley believes that focusing on others can provide a break from intense feelings. 18
19 Animal lovers, environmental supporters, or those who enjoy socializing can all find meaningful ways to contribute. Volunteering can be formal, like helping charities, or informal, such as assisting a neighbor or joining online support groups. Even sharing your knowledge in areas like healthy eating or gardening can be meaningful.
Riley emphasizes that volunteering should feel rewarding rather than burdensome. Studies suggest dedicating just two hours a week is enough to gain mental health benefits. 20 Riley warns that frequent tears, anxiety, or feelings of hopelessness may signal burnout. In such cases, stepping back is important, and it’s perfectly okay to say no if you’re struggling.
A.This shift creates space for healing.
B.However, it’s crucial to maintain balance.
C.It’s vital for both sides’ growth and happiness.
D.Helping’s joy has been recognized since the 1980s.
E.Studies show volunteering with a strong purpose benefits health.
F.Volunteering aids emotional healing and boosts the increase of wealth.
G.Finding the right volunteer role depends on personal interests and skills.

The Significance of a Healthy Lifestyle
As senior high students, we often find ourselves buried under a pile of textbooks and assignments, making it easy to neglect our health. 16
A healthy lifestyle significantly contributes to physical fitness. Regular exercise, for example, is a cornerstone of physical well-being. When we engage in jogging, swimming, or cycling, it helps to strengthen our muscles, improve cardiovascular function, and boost our immune system. 17 Additionally, a balanced diet is equally important. Consuming a variety of foods, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, provides our bodies with necessary nutrients to function optimally.
Mental health also benefits from a healthy lifestyle. Adequate sleep, which is an essential part of it, allows our brains to rest and recover. When we get enough sleep, we wake up feeling refreshed and ready to face the day. 18 Moreover, activities like meditation or yoga, which are often associated with a healthy lifestyle, can help reduce stress and anxiety. They provide a moment of calm in our busy lives, allowing us to focus on the present and gain a sense of inner peace.
19 When individuals are healthy, they are less likely to rely on medical resources, thus reducing the burden on the healthcare system. For example, a community where people are encouraged to exercise regularly and eat healthily may have a stronger sense of unity as neighbors participate in fitness events or share healthy recipes.
In the long run, a healthy lifestyle has far-reaching implications for our quality of life. People who maintain healthy habits are more likely to have a higher energy level throughout their lives. This means they can actively participate in various activities, like pursuing hobbies, or engaging in community work. 20 They may experience a decline in their physical and mental capabilities at a relatively young age, limiting their life choices and experiences.
A.A healthy lifestyle also plays a positive role in our social life.
B.These physical activities can also help us maintain a healthy weight.
C.However, a healthy lifestyle is crucial for our well-being and academic performance.
D.This can lead to better concentration, improved memory, and enhanced mood.
E.In contrast, those with unhealthy lifestyles may lead an inactive life.
F.There are many ways to start living a healthy lifestyle.
G.What’s more, a healthy lifestyle can save a large amount of medical expenses.

It was a winter morning when I received a package with no return address. The plain brown wrapping gave no clues, and my name was handwritten in shaky letters. 16
Inside was a small wooden box, its surface carved with intricate patterns of vines and birds. I lifted the lid. A faint scent of cedar (雪松) filled the air. 17 It was my grandmother’s brooch (胸针) — the one she always wore to Sunday dinners, with a single pearl suspended like a dewdrop. She had passed away three months earlier, and the family assumed the jewelry had been lost in the chaos of her estate.
My hands trembled as I picked it up. 18 The weight of the brooch in my palm felt like a connection to a past I had been neglecting. Then I noticed a slip of paper tucked beneath the velvet lining. The handwriting matched the package: “For the girl who loved listening to stories under the old oak tree. Keep this close when you write yours.”
19 Only Grandma called me that during our summer visits. I hadn’t seen her in two years before her death — too busy with school and friends to visit. Guilt washed over me like a tide. How easily life’s distractions can pull us away from what truly matters.
That evening, I examined the brooch under lamplight. 20 The year Grandma and I had spent afternoons recording made-up tales about the birds in her garden. I sat there, tears blurring my vision, as I remembered those carefree days. From that moment on, I vowed never to let life’s busyness overshadow the simple joys of family and connection.
A.A glimmer of silver caught my eye.
B.The nickname “Storybird” leaped out at me.
C.The postmark showed a town 200 miles away.
D.On the back was a date, the summer I turned ten.
E.Whoever sent this knew my childhood intimately.
F.For a moment, I simply stared, afraid it might vanish.
G.Layers of dust suggested it hadn’t been opened for decades.
