◇
In 2006,as a 10-year-old living in one of Delhi's busiest markets,I would often run downstairs to buy
milk,eggs or vegetables for my mother.The shopkeepers knew me by face and often guessed my order
before I even spoke.These small market runs taught me more than I realised at the time-quick mental
maths,conversations with strangers,and backup plans when a shop was shut.So much unintentional
learning!
Over time,these routines became daily comfort.Whether it was me or my mother,we enjoyed the
smiles,brief chats,and snacks along the way-small moments that quietly held our lives together.
Now,things are different.With Blinkit,Zepto,and Instamart,groceries arrive in 10 minutes.While I
still enjoy shopping in the market after work,my mother begins her day by comparing prices on apps and
ordering everything with a few taps().The grocery trips that once lifted her mood,improved her
health,and helped her stay connected with the neighbourhood have disappeared.The joy of being known,
of interacting,is dying.
And it's not just her.Many of us now rely more on apps and less on people.Our growing reliance on
instant delivery is reducing those everyday moments of interaction.There's the financial cost too.When
you're too tired or too busy to plan your groceries,you end up ordering in pieces-adding things you don't
need just to hit the free-delivery minimum.
Of course,these apps are a gift on tough days when we're sick or short on time.But next time you feel
like opening a grocery app,try walking to your local shop instead.You might come back with more than
just groceries a smile,a quick chat,and a sense of connection.Sometimes,the cost of convenience isn't
what you pay.It's what you miss.
24.What does the author think of early market runs?
A.Adventurous.
B.Valuable.
C.Tiring.
D.Complex.
25.How did the author's mother change her shopping habit later?
A.She turned to online shopping.
B.She visited groceries with neighbours.
C.She cared about discounts in stores.
D.She ordered whatever lifted her mood.
26.What concerns the author about instant delivery?
A.It takes away small social moments.
B.It involves paying extra service fees.
C.It results in poor physical condition
D.It makes people addicted to shopping.
27.What is implied in the last paragraph?
A.A shared gift doubles its joy.
B.Convenience comes at a cost.
C.A smile is free but worth a lot.
D.Rush breaks human connection.

Walk down a street decades ago,and chances were good that you'd come across a vision of the
Spielbergian sort:groups of school-age children charging down the block on bikes,full of purpose and
without protective headwear.You're less likely to catch that kind of scene today.
With the decline in cycling,kids are losing more than a potential mode of transport.Biking supports
children's independence and overall health.And crucially,once kids are trained,it doesn't require much
effort from adults.Moreover,when enough children bike,whole neighborhoods can be transformed-safer
and more friendly
Now kids seldom get out.But they desire mobility while threatening traffic and parental concerns
frequently stand in their way.This fear is well founded.Roadways have gotten faster and busier.The
annual child cycling deaths have actually dropped,but it's likely due to reduced ridership.The decrease
seems reflective not of streets'safety but rather of parents'understanding of the heightened risks massive
vehicles pose.
Families haven't always had to be this vigilant.Children in previous decades may not have had
marked bike lanes()or other protective road features.But they had more space to wander,and fewer
and slower cars to deal with.It wasn't until public planning prioritized cars that children lost both play
areas and the freedom to travel independently.
By adding more bike-fiiendly infrastructure(基a础设施),local governments could encourage children
to ride again.Meanwhile,teaching road rules falls largely to caregivers.Finding safe-enough spots for
practice might be tough,yet with a little creativity,parents can track down dead ends or unused parking
lots.
Putting in that work may demand more of parents in the short term.But the investment is worth it.
Many parents want to raise confident and adaptable children,yet over-scheduled extracurriculars requiring
constant monitoring rarely help.What many need is a bit more freedom:time to explore,to ride aimlessly
-until they're ready to take off.
28.Why does the author mention the Spielbergian scene?
A.To criticize kids'poor safety awareness.
B.To highlight the potential dangers of cycling.
C.To stress the importance of safe neighborhoods.
D.To show the past popularity of cycling among kids
29.What leads to the decline of annual child cycling deaths?
A.Improved street safety.
B.Reduction in vehicle size.
C.Decreased cycling frequency.
D.Strict application of traffic rules.
30.What does the underlined word "vigilant "in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Tolerant.
B.Watchful
C.Patient.
D.Optimistic.
31.What are parents advised to do to get kids riding?
A.Explore secure spaces for practice.
B.Invest in bike-friendly infrastructure.
C.Provide sufficient monitoring for kids
D.Stop arranging extracurricular activities.

Throughout history,trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance.They absorb
CO2 and transform it into oxygen.But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that
the COz trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die.
However,the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process.These
trees,also found in several other countries,have been observed to transform COz into calcium oxalate.
Then bacteria present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate().
a primary component of limestone and chalk.The unique process ensures that the CO is kept in solid fom
for much longer,even after the tree's life ends.This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the
University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference.
While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings,several challenges remain.The
primary concern is determining the exact amount of COz that these trees can transform throughout their
lifetime.Without this accurate data,it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally.
Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before
worldwide planting of these trees.Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and
develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change.
This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing
environmental challenges.While technological solutions to climate change are vital,integrating natural
methods offers an alternative approach.The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for
exploration.
The journey to fighting climate change is complex.As we dig deeper into understanding natural
phenomena like the Kenyan trees,we must ask ourselves:How can we make the best of the power of
nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come?
32.What is special about the trees found in Kenya?
A.They absorb more CO2.
B.They help turn CO2 into solids.
C.They release oxygen quickly.
D.They live in harmony with bacteria
33.What is the core challenge before applying the discovery globally?
A.Assessing the cost of the process.
B.Understanding the impact on soil.
C.Quantifying the CO2 transformation.
D.Collecting the data on biodiversity.
34.What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs?
A.The seriousness of climate change
B.The method of green development.
C.The prospect of scientific approaches.
D.The role of nature in climate solutions.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Defensive Strategy in Nature
B.A Recent Advance in CO2 Research
C.Kenyan Trees:A Natural Carbon Lock
D.Tree Planting:A Key to Ecological Balance

Professional Organizer Breaks Down Her Unusual Job
In 2014,Kayleen Kelly took her professional organizing business full-time.She thought she was
starting a business that would consist mostly of making messy homes into "beautiful homes"and taking
before and after photos.36
You often think primarily of the type of professional organizer who focuses directly on arranging a
beautiful and pleasing space-even one that looks good on Instagram.However,many people who seek
out Kelly's service are struggling with mental health issues,injuries,illness,or are experiencing the
death of a loved one.37 They might not have the mental energy for the projects.
In 2020,Kelly took her experience online in order to help people globally.Her content breaks down
her tips and tricks for viewers looking to tidy up their lives.38 Kelly does all the physical
labor of collecting garbage,sorting other items accordingly,cutting out unwanted items and finally,
containing what is left(the four steps of the Declutter Core Method)for her clients herself.39
That is to make the decisions of what to cut and what to clear out.
While Kelly's job is demanding,what keeps her going is the emotional shift she sees in clients."When
I meet these people,they are saying,Come rescue me,I'm dying,"she says.40 You can't beat
that.That's what keeps me coming back."
A.Kelly has a large following on social media.
B.I see the look on their face at the end of the session
C.These include what she names "Declutter Core"method.
D.But she soon realized her job was more about the people
E.There is a lot of shame and prejudice around having messes.
F.They are willing to tidy up but might not know where to start.
G.So they can save mental energy for the toughest part of the job.

Grandpa Miller and six-year-old Timmy were always busy at their shared workbench.Under
Grandpa's gentle guidance,Timmy carefully polished a small wooden dog that they had made together for
a long time,proud to be learning "real work"from Grandpa.
Their joy also spread around the big dinner table.Timmy kept talking to Grandpa."Will the dog
stand firmly,Grandpa?""Sure!I sanded it SUPER smooth!"Grandpa responded gently

Across the table sat Timmy's father,Ben.He bent over his laptop,his eyebrows frowned.The joy of
the grandfather and grandson seemed to escape him."Quarterly reports are due tomorrow,"he replied to
his wife Sarah absent-mindedly,who had just reminded him of the delicious potatoes.He grabbed a bite,
his eyes sliding back to the laptop,blind to the warmth around him.When he reached for the bowl,
intending to take a quick sip ()his arm knocked it over.Some hot soup spilled (onto the table
"Be careful!"Sarah said softly.She grabbed a cloth and started to clean the spill quickly.Ben was
wiping his laptop when some soup spilled on his trousers."Oh,annoying!The harder I try to get this done
quickly,the more things go wrong!"said he,getting angry.Astonished,little Timmy stopped talking at
once.He stared at his father quietly,not knowing what to do.
Grandpa Miller watched what happened calmly and then spoke in his low voice-the same familiar
tone that used to comfort Ben when he was small."Easy there,son,"he said firmly,"The soup deserves
your whole heart,so does the moment with all of us.

Dear editor,
Last Friday,my classmates and I were taking a walk in the school garden after dinner.I
happened to see a vacant lot beside the garden that exists quietly and alone.Obviously,the
school hasn't made full use of it.Seeing this,I had an idea that we can develop this open
space as a labor base for students.
Students can use the land to grow vegetables and fruits.This can not only provide us
with the opportunity to truly participate in labor practice,but also make us personally feel
the fun brought by labor and enjoy the hard-won results of labor,which helps us raise the
awareness of cherishing food.
I'd appreciate it if you'd consider my suggestion
Yours,
Li Hua

Hearing the words,Ben froze.His fingers paused mid-air above the laptop keyboard,
and the irritation on his face faded slowly.Memories flooded in-when he was Timmy's age,
Grandpa had said the same thing while teaching him to carve a wooden cart,reminding him
to focus on the moment.Glancing up,he saw Timmy clutching the small wooden dog tightly,
eyes wide with hesitation,and Sarah folding the soiled cloth quietly."I'm sorry,"Ben said
softly,closing the laptop."I let work take over and missed this."Timmy's face lit up;he held
out the wooden dog,and it stood steadily on the table.Grandpa smiled,pouring Ben a new
bowl of soup.
After the dinner Ben sat in front of the laptop again.But this time,his brows weren't
furrowed.The lingering warmth of the dinner calmed his restlessness.He typed steadily,and
the quarterly report,which had felt like a burden,flowed smoothly.When he finished,he
walked to the workbench.Timmy and Grandpa were polishing the wooden dog together.
"Mind if I join?"Ben asked.Timmy handed him a piece of sandpaper,and Grandpa patted
his arm.By the lamp's glow,the three of them worked quietly,the gentle scraping of
sandpaper the only sound in the peaceful room-this "real work"of togetherness was far
more precious than any report.

M:Great.For my brothers,sports were their priority at weekends.I was the only one of them who was
interested in the cinema,but I wasn't the sort of fan with posters all over the wall.
W:What would you have done if you hadn't become an actor?
M:My dad is a police officer.My mother is a doctor.Even so,neither of those jobs appeals to me.My elder
brother has an import-export company and I guess I would be his partner.
W:Thank you,Martin.

M:Hi,everyone.We have been working hard on our project to keep senior citizens in the area active.With
community support,we proudly opened the senior community center last Monday.It offers free exercise
classes,music sessions and social events for elderly members.While this is a big achievement,our project
now faces problemed are running out of funds for special programs.For example,some members need gentle
Yoga classes or wheelchair-friendly activities,but these require trained instructors and equipment we can't
afford.That's why we are reaching out for help.We urgently need volunteers especially dance teachers and
physical trainers to lead fun safe activities.Additionally,I handed out a list of local businesses that might
donate supplies or services.If you can call or email them to explain our needs,it would greatly help.Our
goal is to create a welcoming space where seniors feel valued and engaged.With your help,we can turn this
vision into reality.Please let me know by Friday.Thank you.
