When I suggested my 13-year-old try tennis,she quickly shot me down."I'm not sporty;
stop trying to get me to do sports,"Julianna said.I had suggested it because some of my
happiest recent memories were of playing ping-pong with her.Tennis seemed like a natural
progression from ping-pong and a great way to work out some of her growing teen
frustrations on a larger playing field.But my suggestion was always met with resistance.
Still,I was undeterred.I was pretty sure that releasing (some physical energy
would help Julianna manage her emotions.I've seen how sports help with stress.It worked
for me when I was a teenage girl.Midway into summer,we stayed at home due to COVID-19,
and Julianna and I grew really bored."Do you want to play tennis?"I asked her at lunch one
afternoon."Sure,"she said.By then,we were both eager to spend as much time as possible out
of the house.Arriving at the court;we set down our bags,picked up our rackets(),and
headed to our sides of the court.The net felt like the visual representation of a growing divide
between us-I desiring connection and my teenage daughter longing for independence.
I started by hitting a ball over the net,and Julianna took a big swing and missed.We
repeated this several more times.I resisted the urge()to tell she was holding the racket
too close to the neck or to step more inter her forehand ()My daughter wanted the
chance to figure these things out for herself.And I needed to practice letting her do it.We
repeated the pattern of me hitting the ball and her missing it a few times before she finally got
it back over the net."This is fun,"she said with a mixture of surprise and delight and then she
smiled widely.
Now we always find time to play tennis.It's nice to have a place where both of us can
release our negative emotions and let them go.

Here's a new idea:Adding zigzags()to walls could help cool an overheated
building,even as global temperatures rise.Researchers devised a new electricity-free standing
wall design that cools buildings more efficiently than conventional walls,reducing daily
average wall temperatures by a couple degrees Celsius,reported August 9 in Nexus.
Buildings currently consume about 40 percent of global energy and account for over a
third of global carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere,mostly from energy-intensive air
conditioning.Researchers seek designs to redirect solar energy and reduce this load.
Most"radiative cooling"focuses on roofs to absorb solar energy and radiate it into space,
but university materials scientist Yuan Yang notes that walls are harder to cool due to space
exposure and ground heat absorption.Thus,an effective design must account for both factors.
Hence:zigzag walls.Yang's team assumed that by wrinkling the upright surface and
coating the parts with different materials-more reflective materials facing downward and
more heat-releasing materials facing upward-the wall could absorb less heat than a
conventional straight wall.
Simulation()showed that zigzag walls gained less heat from the ground than
conventional walls by about 2.3 degrees on average,rising to 3.1 degrees during the hottest
part of the day.Testing a miniature backyard version of their design in New Jersey in summer
2022 found similar results
The goal was to design something that would be commercially appealing,Yang says.
Wrinkled walls already exist,he notes.Therefore,this design,easy to produce and expand,
may provide consumers with a solution to zig when the climate zags.
28.What can be learned about zigzag walls from Paragraph 1?
A.They help cool buildings.
B.They consume electricity.
C.They are conventional walls.
D.They rise with global temperatures.
29.Why does the author mention roofs?
A.To explain a cooling method.
B.To compare with zigzag walls.
C.To show roofs are easier to cool.
D.To emphasize the importance of walls.
30.How did Yang's team make zigzag walls less heat-absorbing?
A.By using reflective roofs.
B.By coating with same materials
C.By wrinkling and coating differently.
D.By facing heat-releasing materials downward.
31.What is implied in the last paragraph?
A.The design is hard to produce.
B.Wrinkled walls are not popular.
C.Consumers prefer straight walls
D.The design may be commercialized.

In a recent unusual experiment,researchers attached a large pair of cartoonish round eyes
to the front of a small,self-driving vehicle.This pair of eyes on the front of driverless vehicles
could give pedestrians()a better idea of whether they've been seen by the vehicles.That
is quite important for pedestrians when it comes to determining the perfect moment to cross in
front of oncoming traffic.
In the study,the volunteers-nine men and nine women-were asked to decide whether
or not to cross the road as the car approached.Four situations were tested in total;two when
the car was fitted with eyes,and two when it wasn't.The researchers measured how often
people hesitated to cross when it was in fact safe to do so,and how often they chose to cross
when it was dangerous.Overall,the presence of the eyes led to safer and smoother
road-crossing experiences for the participants.
However,there was a clear difference between genders in the results For men,the eyes
only really helped in dangerous situations,warning them to pause when they might otherwise
proceed.For women,the eyes boosted confidence by signaling it was safe to cross.While
other factors like age and background might have also influenced the participants'reactions,
the researchers believe this is an important point,as it shows that different road users may
have different behaviors and needs,which require different communication ways in our future
self-driving world.
Ultimately,the aim is to keep everyone as safe as possible,if and when autonomous
driving becomes the norm ()At the moment,it seems that is a long way off yet-giving
scientists more time to look at the effect."There is not enough investigation into the
interaction between self-driving cars and the people around them,such as pedestrians,"says
computer scientist Takeo Igarashi."So,we need more investigation and effort into such
interaction to bring safety and assurance to society regarding self driving cars."
32.What does the underlined word "That"in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Assessing if pedestrians are aware of road conditions.
B.Making self-driving vehicles more visually appealing.
C.Knowing if moving vehicles notice pedestrians'presence.
D.Keeping enough distance between vehicles and pedestrians.
33.What effect did the cartoonish eyes have on participants according to the study?
A.Participants'improved road crossing behavior.
B.Participants'tendency to ride in driverless cars.x
C.Researchers accurate measurement of car speed.
D.Researchers ability to predict pedestrian behavior.
34.What lesson can makers of self-driving vehicles learn from this study?
A.They need to improve the visibility of their vehicles.
B.They need to enhance the safety measures in their vehicles.
C.They need to adopt diverse communication methods in their design
D.They need to make vehicles affordable to people from all walks of life.
35.What might be Takeo Igarashi's attitude to the study?
A.Disapproving.B.Objective.
C.Critical.
D.Subjective.

Returning from vacation and attempting to get back into a productive routine can feel like
a tough task.Here are strategies to help you get back to an academic mindset.
36
You may have felt stressed or burnt out before your holiday,so it makes sense to change
your schedule when you return and adapt yourself to it.A great place to start is to assess food,
exercise,and sleep habits,which can tend to go bad over a vacation.
Create a study schedule
37 Whether you prefer to use a traditional planner or an online calendar or app,
begin by going through your course syllabi (and inputting project,test,and exam due
dates.As you are scheduling your studies,be sure to consider which courses,readings and
projects you anticipate will be more challenging,so you can devote extra time appropriately.
Start small
When you return from vacation,allow yourself the adjustment period to ease back into
your coursework.It's not realistic to try and jump into your studies at the same pace you were
at before you left,.as it can lead to sluggishness(反应迟钝)and burnout.38 Doing so
can generate an immediate sense of satisfaction that fuels your motivation to keep going.
Take time to de-stress
Research has shown that taking purposeful breaks of 5 to 60 minutes when studying
increases productivity,energy,and ability to focus.Some examples include taking a walk,
having a 15-minute nap,organizing your study area,listening to your favourite music,playing
with your pet,or connecting with a friend.39
Set up a reward system
As a learner,you should have a specific objective that motivates you to enhance your
education.Setting up a reward system can also be helpful.40Depending on your
preference,you can set up daily,weekly,or monthly incentives (to help ensure that you
stay inspired and on task.
A.Refresh your routine.
B.Avoid distractions and time-wasters.
C.Instead,focus on small,achievable daily tasks
D.It encourages you to meet your individual study goals
E.Next up,it's time to reorganize a new study schedule.
F.By doing so,you can return to your studies refreshed and refocused.
G.The objective is to discover when productivity comes to you most easily.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语段续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短
文。
A few years ago,my family and I were driving back from our vacation in Florida to New
York.At about 9 pm,after driving all day,we stopped at a Wendy's restaurant in South
Carolina.We were exhausted(筋疲力尽)from driving but still had a long way to go before
we reached the hotel in Virginia where we had reservations for the night.
We ate,left,and continued driving.After about an hour and a half,when we had just
crossed into Virginia,we realized that my husband had left his belt pack at the restaurant.I
had only about $20 left in my wallet;my husband had the rest of our money and traveler's
checks (about $1000)in his belt pack.
Even worse,the remote control for his spinal cord stimulator(脊髓刺激器)was in the
pack,and he needed it to manage his back pain.I had no idea how many thousands of dollars
it would cost to replace it.
Without much hope,we turned around and drove back to South Carolina.I never really
expected to get our money or traveler's checks back,but I hoped we could get back the
remote for my husband's stimulator.As I was driving back,my mind was overwhelmed with
the stress of canceling credit cards and figuring out how we were going to make it home on
just $20.
We watched all the exit signs on Highway I-95 for one that included a Wendy's.The
first one we tried was the wrong restaurant.So was the second.After a few more exits and
three hours of driving,we finally found the right Wendy's.
The restaurant had already closed for the night,but a young waiter was still inside
cleaning up.We knocked on the door and explained our situation,and he let us in.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150字左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
To our relief,the young waiter kept the belt pack safel
The young waiter warmly guided us out of the restaurant with a flashlight.

The Value of Face-to-Face Communication
With the development of technology,the ways that we communicate with each other change a lot.As
for it,different people have different opinions.
Some believe that online communication allow people to connect instantly regardless of distance.
However,some still argue that face-to-face communication is irreplaceable,because non-verbal cues,such
as facial expressions and body language is quite important,which help to build trust and understanding.
In my opinion,face-to-face communication holds unique value.It fosters deeper emotional connection
s and reduces misunderstandings.Therefore,while online tools are useful,we should not underestimate the
power of in-person interactions.

To our relief,the young waiter kept the belt pack safe!He handed it to us,explaining another waiter
spotted it and handed it to him.I could hardly believe my eyes.Everything was there-the money,the
traveler's checks,and most importantly,the remote control.My husband tightly held the young man's
hands,unable to speak due to his gratitude.My earlier anxiety disappeared,replaced by deep relief.When
we offered a reward to the young man,he refused with a shy smile,saying"I just did what everyone should
d0”
The young waiter warmly guided us out of the restaurant with a flashlight."Thank you So much for
your help,"I said,still in awe.The young man smiled warmly,"It's my pleasure.I'm just happy to return it
to you."The warm light guided us through the dark to our car.As we said goodbye,his kindness shone
brighter than the flashlight."Safe travels!"he called out.Driving away,we felt peaceful and hopeful,not
tense anymore.That unexpected help made the rest of our journey home feel lighter.This honest young
man turned a terrible night into a powerful example of human goodness.

Good evening.everyone!It's Harry here with the 7:00 News.(17)Today,we re talking about a new
and exciting form of exercise that has been gaining popularity among young people-the"cat-and-mouse
game".Drawing inspiration from the beloved childhood games of hide-and-seek and the Tom and Jerry
cartoon,this real-life adaptation has taken many cities by storm.
The game first appeared on some college campuses earlier last year and later spread to parks and
squares.(18)In the game,players are divided into two teams:"cats"and"mice",armed with light sticks.All
players are required to turn on location sharing on their mobile phone application so that everybody's
real-time location is clear at a glance.Unlike the traditional hide-and-seek,where the "mice"hide in one
place and wait to be found,the"mice"in this game have to keep moving to avoid being caught by the"cats".
(19)Many players have said that engaging in this game has helped alleviate stress and improved their
overall health by encouraging physical activity.Besides,the game has proven to be a fantastic way for
individuals to make new friends.(20)
