Learn to accept who you are. Do the things you are good at and be with the people who love you instead. Remember you can’t change the way other people react (反应) to you.
I want to be a dancer, but my parents don’t agree with me. My parents always tell me what to do and don’t care about my opinion. I just want to be myself.

Last Friday afternoon, I was at a restaurant eating with my family. Just as we finished up, a homeless man came in, clearly very hot from walking outside and clearly hungry.
We got up to leave. As we did, he walked past us, sat at the table we’d just left, and started eating the leftover (剩下的) food. We noticed the waiters motioning (示意) to each other to clear the plates away from the table.
When we were walking out, we heard someone say, “Excuse me.” It was the man who had sat at our table. He noticed I’d left my wallet behind and was walking towards us to give it back. I said thank you and my husband then ordered him a meal to show our gratitude. While we were walking away and on the drive home, I was explaining to my 6-year-old son what had happened and the importance of helping others, as well as being thankful to have a home to live in and food to eat.
Two days later, to my shock, I looked in my wallet for a card and realized I had $50 in there all along. He could easily have taken it, but he didn’t. How I wished I could have given it to the man! I just paid too much attention (关注) to explaining the importance of kindness to my child and never remembered to check the wallet at the beginning.

In 2024, during China’s Two Sessions meetings (两会), the government plans highlighted “AI in different areas,” showing that AI is becoming very important in China. By 2025, AI was still a hot topic. For example, robots performed on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala (春晚). People are now discussing how AI can help improve many fields, like education, healthcare, and more.
Ni Minjing, the director of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, is interested in AI’s impact (影响) on education a lot. He says AI can help every student learn in a way that fits their interests and skills. Traditionally, teachers have to teach all students the same way, but AI can offer different learning ways for each child. For example, if a child is interested in whales, AI can give all the information about whales, allowing the child to study what they love. This way, ▲ will want to learn more and understand things better.
Ni Minjing also believes that AI won’t take teachers’ place. Teachers play a key role in educating students and helping them develop their thoughts and values, which AI cannot do. AI should be a tool to help both teachers and students. In the future, AI can help students in learning and even help them in their future jobs. However, it’s important to use AI properly. He said that AI should be used to stop students from playing games or watching useless short videos too much so that students can learn better.
In a word, it’s an exciting development that can help students learn better and become more creative thinkers.

A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers. C. By giving examples. D. By comparing facts.
24. Which of the following can be put into “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 2?
A. teachers B. parents C. directors D. students
25. Which opinion does Ni Minjing probably agree with?
A. Teachers are still important for students’ education.
B. AI will completely take the place of teachers in the future.
C. Teachers should use AI to teach all students in the same way.
D. AI can help students learn better by giving them short videos.
26. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The development of AI in China. B. The changes of traditional education.
C. The importance of teachers in the AI era. D. The important impact of AI on education.
【答案】23. C 24. D 25. A 26. D
【解析】

Are you using your headphones too much? Noise-canceling headphones (降噪耳机) bring you a quiet world, but using them for too long might be bad for your brain, according to the New York Post.
Doctors from the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) have seen more young people having “ear problems”. These problems include trouble understanding speech or needing words to watch videos. However, though their ears are healthy, it’s their brains that are affected (被影响的). This problem is known as auditory processing disorder (APD) (听觉处理障碍). People with APD can hear sounds but find it hard to understand them.
We hear different sounds at the same time. To understand the information we hear well, our brains need to choose the important sounds to listen to, and not to listen to useless information. That is why we can understand our friends when we talk even in a very noisy room. If we don’t hear different kinds of sounds, we can lose this skill, said NHS doctors. Noise-canceling headphones take away these different sounds, which might be a part of the problem because they make a “false environment”. This makes it easier for your brain, so it doesn’t have to work very hard.
Noise travels in waves (波) through air and water. Noise-canceling headphones stop these waves in two ways: One is to use things like special ear cups. The other is to use a microphone (麦克风) to cancel out noise with different sound waves.
This technology can be bad for your health if you use it too much. However it is still helpful for people working in noisy places.
27. Why does the writer ask a question at the beginning?
A. To do a survey. B. To interest the readers.
C. To show a scene. D. To get the certain answer.
28. What do we know about APD in the passage?
A. It is caused by ear illness.
B. It causes people to hear nothing.
C. It is caused by listening to different sounds.
D. It causes people to understand sounds hard.
29. What’s the main purpose of this passage?
A. To give us some advice on ear problems.
B. To tell us the importance of noise-canceling headphones.
C. To remind us to use noise-canceling headphones properly.
D. To describe how noise-canceling technology works.
30. In which part of the magazine can we read this passage?
A. Music and art. B. Science and health.
C. Humans and nature. D. Science and technology.
【答案】27. B 28. D 29. C 30. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了过度使用降噪耳机可能对大脑产生负面影响,导致听觉处理障碍(APD),并提醒人们合理使用降噪耳机。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。文章开头通过提问“Are you using your headphones too much?”引起读者兴趣,目的是吸引读者继续阅读。故选B。
28题详解】
细节理解题。根据“People with APD can hear sounds but find it hard to understand them.”可知,患有APD的人能够听到声音,但难以理解这些声音。故选D。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要讨论了降噪耳机的过度使用可能对大脑产生负面影响,并提醒人们合理使用。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章讨论的降噪耳机对健康的影响及听觉处理障碍的科学原理可知,属于科学与健康领域。故选B。

Hi, I’m DeepSeek.
How can I help you today?
I do whatever my parents, teachers and even friends tell me to do. I am used to saying “yes” to everything. But I am not always happy about this. I just can’t say “no”. I wish I could change.
—Tina
Give yourself permission (允许) to say “no”. Keep in mind that if they care about you, they will respect (尊重) your decision. Secondly, saying “no” politely is a good way to refuse someone.

—Jack
Learn to accept who you are. Do the things you are good at and be with the people who love you instead. Remember you can’t change the way other people react (反应) to you.
I want to be a dancer, but my parents don’t agree with me. My parents always tell me what to do and don’t care about my opinion. I just want to be myself.
—Sally
Try to look at things from your parents’ side, because they are trying to guide you. If you feel that your parents’ decision is unfair, you should talk about it. By coming up with a proper reason and sharing your feelings, you may change their minds.

Last Friday afternoon, I was at a restaurant eating with my family. Just as we finished up, a homeless man came in, clearly very hot from walking outside and clearly hungry.
We got up to leave. As we did, he walked past us, sat at the table we’d just left, and started eating the leftover (剩下的) food. We noticed the waiters motioning (示意) to each other to clear the plates away from the table.
When we were walking out, we heard someone say, “Excuse me.” It was the man who had sat at our table. He noticed I’d left my wallet behind and was walking towards us to give it back. I said thank you and my husband then ordered him a meal to show our gratitude. While we were walking away and on the drive home, I was explaining to my 6-year-old son what had happened and the importance of helping others, as well as being thankful to have a home to live in and food to eat.
Two days later, to my shock, I looked in my wallet for a card and realized I had $50 in there all along. He could easily have taken it, but he didn’t. How I wished I could have given it to the man! I just paid too much attention (关注) to explaining the importance of kindness to my child and never remembered to check the wallet at the beginning.
This world may be hard even at the best of times, but there are some truly beautiful and honest hearts out there. May we all try and do what we can to make someone’s day a little brighter.
19. Which is the right order of the story?
a. I checked my wallet but found nothing was lost.
b. A homeless man started to eat the leftover food.
c. We were having dinner in a restaurant.

In 2024, during China’s Two Sessions meetings (两会), the government plans highlighted “AI in different areas,” showing that AI is becoming very important in China. By 2025, AI was still a hot topic. For example, robots performed on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala (春晚). People are now discussing how AI can help improve many fields, like education, healthcare, and more.
Ni Minjing, the director of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, is interested in AI’s impact (影响) on education a lot. He says AI can help every student learn in a way that fits their interests and skills. Traditionally, teachers have to teach all students the same way, but AI can offer different learning ways for each child. For example, if a child is interested in whales, AI can give all the information about whales, allowing the child to study what they love. This way, ▲ will want to learn more and understand things better.
Ni Minjing also believes that AI won’t take teachers’ place. Teachers play a key role in educating students and helping them develop their thoughts and values, which AI cannot do. AI should be a tool to help both teachers and students. In the future, AI can help students in learning and even help them in their future jobs. However, it’s important to use AI properly. He said that AI should be used to stop students from playing games or watching useless short videos too much so that students can learn better.
In a word, it’s an exciting development that can help students learn better and become more creative thinkers.
23. How does the writer show the importance of AI in paragraph 1?
A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers. C. By giving examples. D. By comparing facts.
24. Which of the following can be put into “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 2?
A. teachers B. parents C. directors D. students
25. Which opinion does Ni Minjing probably agree with?
A. Teachers are still important for students’ education.
B. AI will completely take the place of teachers in the future.
C. Teachers should use AI to teach all students in the same way.
D. AI can help students learn better by giving them short videos.
26. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The development of AI in China. B. The changes of traditional education.
C. The importance of teachers in the AI era. D. The important impact of AI on education.
D
Are you using your headphones too much? Noise-canceling headphones (降噪耳机) bring you a quiet world, but using them for too long might be bad for your brain, according to the New York Post.
Doctors from the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) have seen more young people having “ear problems”. These problems include trouble understanding speech or needing words to watch videos. However, though their ears are healthy, it’s their brains that are affected (被影响的). This problem is known as auditory processing disorder (APD) (听觉处理障碍). People with APD can hear sounds but find it hard to understand them.
We hear different sounds at the same time. To understand the information we hear well, our brains need to choose the important sounds to listen to, and not to listen to useless information. That is why we can understand our friends when we talk even in a very noisy room. If we don’t hear different kinds of sounds, we can lose this skill, said NHS doctors. Noise-canceling headphones take away these different sounds, which might be a part of the problem because they make a “false environment”. This makes it easier for your brain, so it doesn’t have to work very hard.
Noise travels in waves (波) through air and water. Noise-canceling headphones stop these waves in two ways: One is to use things like special ear cups. The other is to use a microphone (麦克风) to cancel out noise with different sound waves.
This technology can be bad for your health if you use it too much. However, it is still helpful for people working in noisy places.
27. Why does the writer ask a question at the beginning?
A. To do a survey. B. To interest the readers.
C. To show a scene. D. To get the certain answer.
28. What do we know about APD in the passage?
A. It is caused by ear illness.
B. It causes people to hear nothing.
C. It is caused by listening to different sounds.
D. It causes people to understand sounds hard.
29. What’s the main purpose of this passage?
A To give us some advice on ear problems.
B. To tell us the importance of noise-canceling headphones.
C. To remind us to use noise-canceling headphones properly.
D. To describe how noise-canceling technology works.
30. In which part of the magazine can we read this passage?
A. Music and art. B. Science and health.
