A
“Why did she spill the beans?” I thought angrily. I always remembered that day when I was so surprised by all the strange looks everyone was giving me. The question stayed with me for a long time. And I couldn’t believe I would lose the friendship of the person I trusted the most.
Five years back, Sally was the new kid in my class. I didn’t know what it was, but something special about her drew me to her. She was the friendliest person in the class. We started as classmates, but after a few months, we were best friends.
I was always troubled by my poor childhood, and never had the courage to tell anyone about it. However, I told Sally all my secrets. I couldn’t believe that she would hurt me in such a cruel way. She made the matter bigger than it was, adding her own spin (倾向性描述) and telling everyone about my poor experience at school. It was like someone had stabbed (戳) me in the back. After she gave away my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me whenever I passed by. Because of the terrible situation, I had to move to another school. Sally called me many times, but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken.
I tried hard to forget the scars (伤疤) she left in my heart. I started a new life. After a few years, my life went back to the way it was, with new friends. But one day, I met Anna at the market. She was my classmate from the 3rd grade. “Sally wasn’t the one who brought your secrets to light. Amy. Mary was. Mary was our school’s big mouth who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business,” she told me.
I was all at sea (不知所措). I wished I could have asked Sally about this. I wished I could go back in time and fix my mistake. From that, I learned a life lesson: we should trust those we love because one little mistake could really damage our lives.

On Douyin, a program about studying science books has gained millions of views and attracted nearly 90,000 viewers in just two years. Every week, famous scientists and scholars are invited to the program to share their understanding of science books.
In the past, people preferred to read literary classics. However, today, China values sci-tech innovation (科技创新), and the country’s rapid sci-tech development has led to people’s growing interest in scientific literature.
This year, Beijing World Publishing Company will release (发行) a series of popular astronomy books that will cover topics such as the moon and Mars. “The public needs books to have a better understanding of the country’s scientific achievements,” says Xu Guoqiang, the deputy editor-in-chief of the company.
Xu says that the development of popular science and the reading of scientific books depends on scientific literacy (科学素养). The latest data shows that 14.1 percent of people were scientifically literate in 2023, and the country hopes to raise that to 25 percent by 2035.
Foreign science books have long been popular in our country’s market. One of them is A Brief History of Time. The book has never left China’s Top 10 list of popular science books since it was introduced. Well-known Chinese science books include One Hundred Thousand Whys and Little Smarty Travels to the Future and so on.
“However, the problem is that there is still a shortage of Chinese science books and books that can spark (激发) readers’ intelligence and curiosity,” Xu says.
Wang Dapeng, a member of the China Research Institute for Science Popularization, agrees with Xu. “We need more ways to encourage scientists to take part, such as through funding projects (资助项目). It may also be helpful to provide training for science writers to improve their writing skills,” he says.

The oldest child syndrome (综合征), sometimes called the firstborn syndrome, is about how being the first child in a family can form a person’s character. Birth order has long been thought of as a main reason that influences (影响) how children grow and change.
Being the first child can sometimes be hard. “The oldest child syndrome is when the first child feels they must do well and be a good example for other children in the family,” says Nicholette Leanza, a therapist (治疗专家).
According to Brandy Smith a psychologist, some common behaviors for the first child include:
●Having a strong sense of responsibility
● Feeling they must meet people’s expectations, mainly their parents’ expectations
● Often drawn to leadership-type roles
● Usually described as someone who follows rules and acts nicely
●Being a hard-working person who always tries his best to succeed
There are also some advantages of being the oldest child in the family. Studies have shown that firstborn children have an advantage when it comes to learning things around the age of four. Some studies show that firstborn children also have a small advantage when it comes to early reading and writing skills.
“Being the oldest child can also influence how a child grows in feelings and their understanding of who they are,” Leanza says. “For example, they might grow up quicker because they have more jobs to do at home or they might act more like parents because they have to look after their younger brothers and sisters.”
“These can make it hard for the oldest child to find their identity (身份) outside of their role in their family,” Leanza explains. “It’s important for kids to learn to be themselves. And they shouldn’t just see themselves as part of the family.”
21. What is the “oldest child syndrome” mainly about?
A. How firstborn children are different from others.
B. Why firstborn children have more responsibility.
C. Why firstborn children are usually more successful.
D. How a person’s character is shaped by being the oldest child.
22. According to Brandy Smith, which sentence can usually describe the oldest children?
A. They usually like to break rules.
B. They are trying to please their parents.
C. They have a hard time making decisions.
D. They pay attention to their personal interests.
23. What does the passage say about the advantages of being the oldest child?
A. They are better at sports. B. They get better grades in school.
C. They are more popular at school. D. They learn things better at an early age
24. Why does Leanza say the oldest child might have trouble finding their identity?
A. Because they are always told what to do.
B. Because they are always trying to be perfect.
C. Because they have many home responsibilities.
D. Because they are often compared to their brothers and sisters
25. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Tips for firstborn children B. Being the oldest: good and bad
C. The firstborn child’s advantages D. Growing up fast: the firstborn child’s journey

The oldest child syndrome (综合征), sometimes called the firstborn syndrome, is about how being the first child in a family can form a person’s character. Birth order has long been thought of as a main reason that influences (影响) how children grow and change.
Being the first child can sometimes be hard. “The oldest child syndrome is when the first child feels they must do well and be a good example for other children in the family,” says Nicholette Leanza, a therapist (治疗专家).
According to Brandy Smith, a psychologist, some common behaviors for the first child include:
●Having a strong sense of responsibility
● Feeling they must meet people’s expectations, mainly their parents’ expectations
● Often drawn to leadership-type roles
● Usually described as someone who follows rules and acts nicely
●Being a hard-working person who always tries his best to succeed
There are also some advantages of being the oldest child in the family. Studies have shown that firstborn children have an advantage when it comes to learning things around the age of four. Some studies show that firstborn children also have a small advantage when it comes to early reading and writing skills.
“Being the oldest child can also influence how a child grows in feelings and their understanding of who they are,” Leanza says. “For example, they might grow up quicker because they have more jobs to do at home or they might act more like parents because they have to look after their younger brothers and sisters.”
“These can make it hard for the oldest child to find their identity (身份) outside of their role in their family,” Leanza explains. “It’s important for kids to learn to be themselves. And they shouldn’t just see themselves as part of the family.”
21 What is the “oldest child syndrome” mainly about?
A. How firstborn children are different from others.
B. Why firstborn children have more responsibility.
C. Why firstborn children are usually more successful.
D. How a person’s character is shaped by being the oldest child.
22. According to Brandy Smith, which sentence can usually describe the oldest children?
A. They usually like to break rules.
B. They are trying to please their parents.
C. They have a hard time making decisions.
D. They pay attention to their personal interests.
23. What does the passage say about the advantages of being the oldest child?
A. They are better at sports. B. They get better grades in school.
C. They are more popular at school. D. They learn things better at an early age
24. Why does Leanza say the oldest child might have trouble finding their identity?
A. Because they are always told what to do.
B. Because they are always trying to be perfect.
C. Because they have many home responsibilities.
D. Because they are often compared to their brothers and sisters
25. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Tips for firstborn children B. Being the oldest: good and bad
C. The firstborn child’s advantages D. Growing up fast: the firstborn child’s journey
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. D 24. C 25. B
