But do you know that we also talk with ourselves from time to time? For example, your mum asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: sandwiches, bread, milk...You think that it would be great to have sandwiches. Until you tell your mum what you want to eat, you are talking with yourself. ②We call this kind of communication intrapersonal (内心的) communication. This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. ③Intrapersonal communication plays a big part in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of bad thoughts and sad feelings, you will try to cheer up and get rid of them. ④What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps you to talk with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them. 1．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．He offers some facts. B．He gives an example. C．He shows numbers. D．He asks and answers a question. 2．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The rules of intrapersonal communication. B．The problems of intrapersonal communication. C．The ways of intrapersonal communication. D．The good points of intrapersonal communication. 3．What’s the structure of the text? (Paragraph 1=①...) A． B． C． D． 4．What is the purpose of the text?

Tracking apps (追踪应用) are becoming more and more popular. With tracking apps, parents feel close to their children even when they’re not at home. Although many parents want to know where their children are, some people think that tracking is bad for children. Tracking apps mean that parents know where their children are. They can also set alerts (警报) for themselves, so they know when their children leave a place or are on their way home. This makes parents feel safe and relaxed. Instead of being worried while their children are out, parents can relax because they’ll get alerts if their children are running late. Tracking apps also give young people a taste of independence (独立), especially if their parents would not let them move around so freely. Tracking apps take away a big part of childhood. You will feel free when you go out without a parent. If young people know their parents are “watching” them, they won’t have the same feeling of excitement and freedom. Children may also feel that they can’t go anywhere without their parents following them. Young people may also become worried. Because this is only the beginning for parents to watch their lives. Parents may also become dependent on tracking apps and not learn to believe in their children. Children need to have true freedom so that they can live better. It’s true that tracking apps are good for parents, but most children still dislike them. Whether parents track their children or not is still a big question. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．More parents are using tracking apps now. B．Most parents think tracking is bad for children. C．The use of tracking apps is getting less popular. D．Parents won’t feel safe if they use tracking apps. 2．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Children will get alerts for themselves. B．Parents know where their children are. C．Children like using some tracking apps. D．Parents know if their children are independent. 3．If children know their parents are “watching” them, they will be ________. A．excited B．independent C．unhappy D．free 4．According to the passage, we can know that tracking apps ________. A．give parents true freedom B．are very popular with children C．have their good and bad sides D．help make parent-child relationship (关系) better 5．What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? A．①②③/④ B．①/②/③④ C．①/②③/④ D．①/②③④ Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟). Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t go to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! 1．According to the passage, who has a communication problem? A．parents and other people B．only school kids and their parents C．teachers and their students D．parents and children of all ages 2．The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means ________. A．to make yourself happy B．to get yourself quiet and relaxed C．to have a good rest D．to hide yourself quickly 3．If your parents’ values are different from yours, you’d better ________. A．argue with them B．keep away from them C．agree with them all the time D．tell your parents what you care about 4．The best title for the passage is ________. A．How to bridge the generation gap     B．How to deal with family problems     C．How to be good parents D．How to be a good child Unit 3单元话题 If your parents have ever been too lazy or the weather has been too bad to put gas (汽油) in the family car, this might be the invention for them. A Danish company (公司) has developed a robot arm that can help cars at gas stations without human’s help. The company allows people at a gas station in Finland to get their car filled up by a robot. It’s the only place that offers this service. But the company says it hopes their technology will be available (可获得的) in other countries in the future. The company says there is a special set of sensors (传感器) and cameras to get information about a car. So the robot arm is able to know what kind of gas it needs. When the car stops in a certain area, the robot arm itself starts to move. The arm then opens the car’s fuel tank (油箱) door, chooses the right gas and fills up the car. The company has been testing their technology for over a year and plans to start more testing later this year. The company created its smart gas station in 2018. The idea was to cut down the risk of people staying at gas stations. Since then, they’ve made robot arm do more things. “Our purpose (目的) is to provide people with comfort and safety. Our robot arm allows a driver to go to the shop for a coffee or take a short break while it is working,” the company’s CEO said. 1．The passage is probably from the ________ column (栏目) of a magazine. A．Healthy Life B．Growing Advice C．Educational Research D．New Technology 2．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to (指代) ________. A．the camera B．the car C．the company D．the robot arm 3．We can learn from the passage that the robot arm ________. A．needs human’s help while working B．gets help from sensors and cameras C．is available in many other countries D．can only help people to fill up cars 4．According to the company’s CEO, the robot arm is ________. A．useful B．common C．strange D．popular 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．A Future Car B．A Danish Company C．A Smart Gas Station D．A Robot Arm Helping Cars at Gas Stations Self-driving cars, run by AI and special sensors (感应器), promise a future where cars no longer need a human in the driver’s seat. However, people have different thoughts about this new technology. Here are the opinions of five people from several walks of life. “As a technology lover, I’m really excited about self-driving cars! Some people say these cars have problems, but engineers promise they will get better. Although they aren’t perfect yet, they make fewer mistakes than human drivers, and this will make our roads a lot safer.” “I’m really against (反对) self-driving cars. What are all of us taxi drivers going to do to make a living if we’ve all been replaced by AI? Can a machine really deal with busy city streets better than people? I think we need humans to drive safely in those environments.” “I’m optimistic about self-driving cars, especially for my online shopping business. And I wouldn’t have to spend money on delivery drivers. It would be a great way for me to save money.” “Self-driving cars would be a real step forward in our fight against climate (气候) change. Human driving habits waste fuel (燃料) and make pollution. If computers drive cars perfectly, they will use less energy and lower the air pollution.” “From my point of view, self-driving cars raise interesting questions. Who is legally (法律上) responsible if an accident happens? The car owner, the car maker, the software designer, or the AI itself? I’m worried that this may bring a lot of troubles to lawyers’ work!” 1．This passage mainly talks about ________. A．the development of smart cars B．the thoughts about AI technology C．the opinions about self-driving cars D．the problems caused by self-driving cars 2．In Henry’s view, the underlined word “they” refers to ________. A．city roads B．car engineers C．human drivers D．self-driving cars 3．What is Carl’s main worry? A．Taxi drivers might lose their jobs. B．Self-driving cars are too expensive. C．Self-driving cars may waste more fuel. D．Computers cannot drive in busy streets. 4．How many people are against the idea of self-driving cars? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Self-driving cars have been widely used in all walks of life. B．Self-driving cars could make business owners spend more money. C．Self-driving cars make it possible to cut down the air pollution. D．Self-driving car makers are legally responsible for accidents. Imagine a group of people are talking about something happily. But there is one man who cannot follow them. Why? He has a hearing problem. How can we help such people? Now a new and exciting invention allows deaf people to see conversations in real time. Using augmented reality (AR，增强现实技术) glasses and a smartphone, deaf people are also able to join in everyday conversations. The AR glasses were developed by Dan Scarfe after he had a Christmas dinner with his family. The man saw his 97-year-old hearing-impaired grandfather sitting alone in silence while the rest of the family were talking excitedly. The images of his grandfather always watching TV shows with subtitles (字幕) crossed Scarfe’s mind. He suddenly realized that maybe the AR glasses could help. Scarfe got to work, working with Nreal, an AR glasses maker. Six months later, a new pair of AR glasses came out. The glasses have a microphone that receives the audio (音频) from the environment and sends it to a connected smartphone. The phone then creates subtitles from that audio and these subtitles then appear on the user’s glasses screen. The company first tested the glasses in the UK. The UK was chosen as a testing ground as over 13 million adults in Britain have hearing loss. However, when the product goes global, it could change the lives of millions of people. This is a great change for the deaf. Mark Atkinson, who is using the AR glasses, said, “As a deaf person myself, I am blown away by this new technology. When I tried on the glasses for the first time, I was so happy. Real-time subtitles made me become part of the conversation as never before.” 1．What tools must a deaf person have if he wants to join in the conversation? ①A microcomputer.    ②A smartphone.    ③A pair of AR glasses.    ④A laptop. A．①② B．②③ C．①③ D．②④ 2．Who made Dan Scarfe want to develop the AR glasses? A．His father. B．His friend. C．His grandfather. D．A glasses maker. 3．Why was the UK chosen as a testing ground for the AR glasses? A．Because it has a large population with hearing loss. B．Because the company Nreal is based in the UK. C．Because the government provided the money. D．Because Dan Scarfe is from the UK. 4．What does the underlined part “am blown away by” probably mean? A．Be scared of. B．Be excited at. C．Be worried about. D．Be bored with. On 20th January, 2025, a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This smart programme can solve maths problems, write code (代码), and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only about $6 million and used more than 2,000 computer chips (芯片) for two months to make it. This shows that good ideas can beat big money. DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practise maths. Other AI needs lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. In a global maths test, it got 79.8% right, a little higher than OpenAI’s model. A simple version (版本) of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, a large number of programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments with R1 cost nothing instead of $300 with other AI. Even a top scientist from Meta (a famous US tech company) said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” US tech companies are worried. Meta planned to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts said China was catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward” confirming that smart ideas beat expensive tools. A DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 1．How much did it cost to build DeepSeek-R1? A．About $6 million. B．About $65 billion. C．About $10. D．About $300. 2．What can we learn about DeepSeek-R1 from Paragraph 2? A．It needs programmers to fix mistakes. B．It becomes better through practice. C．It copies answers from other AI. D．It only works with expensive tools. 3．Why did Meta plan to spend more money on AI research? A．To help Chinese companies. B．To build more computer chips. C．To compete with DeepSeek-R1. D．To hire German scientists. 4．What does the underlined word “confirming” mean in Paragraph 4? A．证明 B．探索 C．拒绝 D．连接 5．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Competition Between GPT-4o and DeepSeek-R1 B．Comparison of Chinese and American AI Models C．The Appearance of Chinese AI Model DeepSeek-R1 D．Disadvantages of Chinese AI Model DeepSeek-R1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期中复习之阅读理解10篇 （Units1-3单元话题） Unit 1 This is me单元话题：个人信息 Unit 2 Getting along单元话题：与人相处 Unit 3 Make it happen! 单元话题：发明创造 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下每单元依次对应3-4篇单元话题专题训练 Unit 1单元话题 In our daily life, we all have some free time.

Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better...Also, intrapersonal communication helps you keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings.”可知，该段主要讲述了内心沟通在我们生活中的重要作用，也就是好处，故选D。 3．篇章结构题。结合全文可知，文章第一段通过举例引出内心沟通的概念；第二段对内心沟通进行定义；第三段和第四段分别阐述内心沟通的好处。整体结构是①—②—③④，故选C。 4．主旨大意题。文章开篇引出内心沟通的话题，接着对其进行定义，然后阐述其重要性，所以文章目的是告诉我们什么是内心沟通，故选A。 Tracking apps (追踪应用) are becoming more and more popular. With tracking apps, parents feel close to their children even when they’re not at home. Although many parents want to know where their children are, some people think that tracking is bad for children. Tracking apps mean that parents know where their children are. They can also set alerts (警报) for themselves, so they know when their children leave a place or are on their way home. This makes parents feel safe and relaxed. Instead of being worried while their children are out, parents can relax because they’ll get alerts if their children are running late. Tracking apps also give young people a taste of independence (独立), especially if their parents would not let them move around so freely. Tracking apps take away a big part of childhood. You will feel free when you go out without a parent. If young people know their parents are “watching” them, they won’t have the same feeling of excitement and freedom. Children may also feel that they can’t go anywhere without their parents following them. Young people may also become worried. Because this is only the beginning for parents to watch their lives. Parents may also become dependent on tracking apps and not learn to believe in their children. Children need to have true freedom so that they can live better. It’s true that tracking apps are good for parents, but most children still dislike them. Whether parents track their children or not is still a big question. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．More parents are using tracking apps now. B．Most parents think tracking is bad for children. C．The use of tracking apps is getting less popular. D．Parents won’t feel safe if they use tracking apps. 2．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Children will get alerts for themselves. B．Parents know where their children are. C．Children like using some tracking apps. D．Parents know if their children are independent. 3．If children know their parents are “watching” them, they will be ________. A．excited B．independent C．unhappy D．free 4．According to the passage, we can know that tracking apps ________. A．give parents true freedom B．are very popular with children C．have their good and bad sides D．help make parent-child relationship (关系) better 5．What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? A．①②③/④ B．①/②/③④ C．①/②③/④ D．①/②③④ 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是议论文。主要围绕追踪应用展开讨论，介绍了其在父母监管孩子方面的优势，也阐述了其对孩子成长可能带来的负面影响，最终提出父母是否该使用追踪应用仍是个难题。 1．推理判断题。根据“Tracking apps (追踪应用) are becoming more and more popular.”及“many parents want to know where their children are”可推知，现在越来越多的父母在使用追踪应用。故选A。   2．词句猜测题。根据“Tracking apps mean that parents know where their children are. They can also set alerts (警报) for themselves, so they know when their children leave a place or are on their way home.”可知，“This”指代的是前文提到的“父母知道孩子的位置，能设置警报了解孩子行踪”这一情况，核心是父母知晓孩子的位置。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“If young people know their parents are ‘watching’ them, they won’t have the same feeling of excitement and freedom. Children may also feel that they can’t go anywhere without their parents following them. Young people may also become worried.”可知，孩子知道被“监视”后，会失去兴奋和自由感，还可能感到担忧，即会不开心。故选C。 4．细节理解题。文章第二段提到追踪应用能让父母安心，给孩子一定独立空间（优势）；第三段指出其会剥夺孩子的自由感、让孩子担忧，还可能让父母依赖应用而不相信孩子（劣势）。由此可知，追踪应用有好的一面也有坏的一面。故选C。   5．篇章结构题。文章第一段引出话题——追踪应用流行，且存在父母想用与有人认为对孩子不好的争议；第二段阐述追踪应用的优势；第三段论述追踪应用的劣势；第四段总结观点，指出父母是否使用仍是难题。因此结构为“①/②③/④”。故选C。 Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟). Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t go to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! 1．According to the passage, who has a communication problem? A．parents and other people B．only school kids and their parents C．teachers and their students D．parents and children of all ages 2．The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means ________. A．to make yourself happy B．to get yourself quiet and relaxed C．to have a good rest D．to hide yourself quickly 3．If your parents’ values are different from yours, you’d better ________.

A．How to bridge the generation gap     B．How to deal with family problems     C．How to be good parents D．How to be a good child 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了家长和孩子之间存在代沟的问题以及如何解决这个问题。 1．细节理解题。根据“Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.”可知，沟通问题在各个年龄段的父母与孩子之间都普遍存在。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off.”可知，生气了就无法很好地表达自己，所以要去安静的地方冷静一下。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“The values of your parents are different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.”可知，你父母的价值观与你自己的有所不同，向你的父母说明你所看重的东西以及背后的原因，理解你的价值观或许能帮助他们明白你的人生目标。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了家长和孩子之间存在代沟的问题以及如何解决这个问题，选项A“如何消除代沟”符合主题。故选A。 Unit 3单元话题 If your parents have ever been too lazy or the weather has been too bad to put gas (汽油) in the family car, this might be the invention for them. A Danish company (公司) has developed a robot arm that can help cars at gas stations without human’s help. The company allows people at a gas station in Finland to get their car filled up by a robot. It’s the only place that offers this service. But the company says it hopes their technology will be available (可获得的) in other countries in the future. The company says there is a special set of sensors (传感器) and cameras to get information about a car. So the robot arm is able to know what kind of gas it needs. When the car stops in a certain area, the robot arm itself starts to move. The arm then opens the car’s fuel tank (油箱) door, chooses the right gas and fills up the car. The company has been testing their technology for over a year and plans to start more testing later this year. The company created its smart gas station in 2018. The idea was to cut down the risk of people staying at gas stations. Since then, they’ve made robot arm do more things. “Our purpose (目的) is to provide people with comfort and safety.

But there is one man who cannot follow them. Why? He has a hearing problem. How can we help such people? Now a new and exciting invention allows deaf people to see conversations in real time. Using augmented reality (AR，增强现实技术) glasses and a smartphone, deaf people are also able to join in everyday conversations. The AR glasses were developed by Dan Scarfe after he had a Christmas dinner with his family. The man saw his 97-year-old hearing-impaired grandfather sitting alone in silence while the rest of the family were talking excitedly. The images of his grandfather always watching TV shows with subtitles (字幕) crossed Scarfe’s mind. He suddenly realized that maybe the AR glasses could help. Scarfe got to work, working with Nreal, an AR glasses maker. Six months later, a new pair of AR glasses came out. The glasses have a microphone that receives the audio (音频) from the environment and sends it to a connected smartphone. The phone then creates subtitles from that audio and these subtitles then appear on the user’s glasses screen. The company first tested the glasses in the UK. The UK was chosen as a testing ground as over 13 million adults in Britain have hearing loss. However, when the product goes global, it could change the lives of millions of people. This is a great change for the deaf. Mark Atkinson, who is using the AR glasses, said, “As a deaf person myself, I am blown away by this new technology. When I tried on the glasses for the first time, I was so happy. Real-time subtitles made me become part of the conversation as never before.” 1．What tools must a deaf person have if he wants to join in the conversation? ①A microcomputer.    ②A smartphone.    ③A pair of AR glasses.    ④A laptop. A．①② B．②③ C．①③ D．②④ 2．Who made Dan Scarfe want to develop the AR glasses? A．His father. B．His friend. C．His grandfather. D．A glasses maker. 3．Why was the UK chosen as a testing ground for the AR glasses? A．Because it has a large population with hearing loss. B．Because the company Nreal is based in the UK. C．Because the government provided the money. D．Because Dan Scarfe is from the UK. 4．What does the underlined part “am blown away by” probably mean? A．Be scared of. B．Be excited at. C．Be worried about. D．Be bored with. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文介绍了一款帮助听力障碍人士实时看到对话内容的AR眼镜发明，讲述了其研发背景、工作原理及社会意义。 1．细节理解题。根据“Using augmented reality (AR，增强现实技术) glasses and a smartphone, deaf people are also able to join in everyday conversations.”可知，听障人士需要AR眼镜和智能手机参与对话。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“The man saw his 97-year-old hearing-impaired grandfather sitting alone in silence while the rest of the family were talking excitedly...that maybe the AR glasses could help.”可知，Dan Scarfe的祖父激发了他的灵感。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The UK was chosen as a testing ground as over 13 million adults in Britain have hearing loss.”可知，英国被选为试验场是因为英国有超过1300万成年人有听力损失。故选A。 4．词义猜测题。根据使用者Mark Atkinson的描述“I was so happy.

This smart programme can solve maths problems, write code (代码), and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only about $6 million and used more than 2,000 computer chips (芯片) for two months to make it. This shows that good ideas can beat big money. DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practise maths. Other AI needs lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. In a global maths test, it got 79.8% right, a little higher than OpenAI’s model. A simple version (版本) of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, a large number of programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments with R1 cost nothing instead of $300 with other AI. Even a top scientist from Meta (a famous US tech company) said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” US tech companies are worried. Meta planned to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts said China was catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward” confirming that smart ideas beat expensive tools. A DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 1．How much did it cost to build DeepSeek-R1? A．About $6 million. B．About $65 billion. C．About $10. D．About $300. 2．What can we learn about DeepSeek-R1 from Paragraph 2? A．It needs programmers to fix mistakes. B．It becomes better through practice. C．It copies answers from other AI. D．It only works with expensive tools. 3．Why did Meta plan to spend more money on AI research? A．To help Chinese companies. B．To build more computer chips. C．To compete with DeepSeek-R1. D．To hire German scientists. 4．What does the underlined word “confirming” mean in Paragraph 4? A．证明 B．探索 C．拒绝 D．连接 5．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
