Four best places to go on holiday
Where are the world’s greatest places to go on holiday to relieve stress? Here are four places that may inspire you to start searching for flights immediately.
Grindavik, Iceland
Grindavik is a sleepy former fishing village just 20 minutes from the airport and offers an easy way to get to many of Iceland’s top sites. Most importantly, it’s home to the Blue Lagoon, a natural hot spring with unique minerals and algae (藻类) not found anywhere else on Earth. Research stated that the Blue Lagoon’s waters are known to improve skin health. The Blue Lagoon’s water also allows you to float weightlessly, which helps to reduce stress, improve energy levels and general wellbeing.
Helsinki, Finland
Around 75% of Finland is covered by forests, and there are almost 200,000 lakes. The country’s chance to visit various natural environments improves wellbeing in many ways. For instance, a 2023 study led by researchers from the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare even found that Helsinki’s rich green and blue spaces reduced people’s use of medicine for depression, anxiety and blood pressure.
Las Catalinas, Costa Rica
The small ocean side town of Las Catalinas improve wellness in special ways. Las Catalinas is entirely car-free — you get around on foot or by bike — which encourages a slower pace of life, more time in nature, and a stronger sense of local community. Las Catalinas is also a great jumping-off point to explore the Nicoya Peninsula, another of the world's five Blue Zones (where locals are twice as likely than Americans to live to age 100!).
Sedona, Arizona
With its sandstone cliffs (悬崖), year-round blue skies, and different ted-green views, Sedona is an ideal place for anyone looking to get back to nature. It’s also one of only 36 certified (认证的) Dark Sky communities in the world, offering opportunities to observe magical Milky Way stars. Research has shown that light pollution is related to increases in stress, mood disorders, and physical health problems — while dark skies promote relaxation and sound sleep.
1. What can we learn about the Blue Lagoon in Grindavik, Iceland?
A. It has been proved to cure skin diseases.
B. It is located in the capital city of Iceland.
C. It is a hot pot with special minerals and algae.
D. It helps reduce stress and lower blood pressure.
2. What do the four places have in common?
A. They are beneficial to people’s health.
B. They are famous for activities of observing stars.
C. They are covered by forests and red-green views.
D. They offer unusual opportunities for cultural experiences.
3. Where is the passage most likely taken from?

When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practised my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as I stepped on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside and asked me to be a narrator (叙述者).
I felt disappointed and didn't tell my mother. However, she sensed my unease, instead of suggesting me reciting my lines, she took me for a walk in our yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose leaves were turning green. We could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) popping through the grass. My mother looked at one of the dandelions and said, “I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds (杂草),” then she pulled a flower up by its roots. “From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I said. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.” My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?” she asked thoughtfully. “And that is true of people too,” she added.
Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry. “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. “The narrator's part is as important as the part of a princess.”
Over the next few weeks, with her encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. Lunchtimes were spent reading over my lines and talking about what I would wear. Backstage on the night of the performance, I felt nervous. However, it was at that very moment that I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, which meant to be in company with me. I performed so well that the audience stood up and burst into cheers.
After the play, Mom gently pressed dandelion into the dictionary and grinned happily as she did. “We were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed.” Though years have passed, I always recall our precious lunchtimes being together, grateful for the gift in my pocket.
4. What problem did the author have?
A. She was not interested in her role.
B. She failed to satisfy her teacher.
C. She was unwilling to practise lines.
D. She was anxious about performing on stage.
5. How did the author’s mother help her deal with her disappointment?
A. By practicing lines with her.
B. By suggesting her quitting the play.
C. By talking about flowers in the garden.
D. By communicating with the teacher in person.
6. What lesson did the author learn from her mother about role shift?
A. Not everyone can be successful.
B. Praise is needed in one’s growth.
C. Every individual has their unique value.
D. Roses look more beautiful against weeds.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The gift of Mom. B. The belief of Mom.
C. The magic of flowers. D. The influence of role play.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者因舞台怯场换角色,在母亲的引导下重拾信心并圆满完成演出的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head.(但是不管我在家说得多么流利,当我走上舞台时,所有的台词都从我的脑海里消失了)”可知,作者在舞台上会紧张到忘记台词,由此可推断她对登台表演感到焦虑。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, she sensed my unease, instead of suggesting me reciting my lines, she took me for a walk in our yard(然而,她看出了我的不安,她没有让我背诵台词,而是带我去院子里散步)”和第三段中的“My mother looked at one of the dandelions and said, “I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds,” then she pulled a flower up by its roots. “From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden.”(母亲看着其中一朵蒲公英说:“我想我要把这些杂草都挖掉”,然后她把一朵花连根拔起。“从现在起,我们的花园里只种玫瑰。”)”可知,母亲通过和作者谈论花园里的花来引导她,帮她排解失落的情绪。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?” she asked thoughtfully. “And that is true of people too,” she added.(“是啊,每朵花都有它自己独特的方式带给人愉悦,不是吗?” 她若有所思地问道。“人也是如此。” 她补充道)”可知,母亲用花类比人,让作者明白每个人都有其独特的价值,这也适用于她从公主角色换成叙述者这件事。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“However, it was at that very moment that I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, which meant to be in company with me.(然而,就在那一刻,我发现口袋里有一朵蒲公英。我知道是妈妈把花塞给我的,这朵花是为了陪伴我)”和最后一段中的“Though years have passed, I always recall our precious lunchtimes being together, grateful for the gift in my pocket.(尽管多年过去,我总会想起我们一起度过的珍贵午餐时光,感激口袋里那份礼物)”可知,母亲的蒲公英是贯穿全文的线索,也是给予作者勇气的礼物,全文围绕这份礼物展开。因此A项“妈妈的礼物”可以作为文章的最佳标题。故选A项。

Visiting a museum or going on a study tour is a quickly growing social activity, which has significantly increased footfalls at major museums. This situation has prompted many museums to extend their opening hours. What’s more, the visitors include not just history and archeology (考古) lovers, but also an increasing number of ordinary people.
All this suggests the cultural tourism field is showing strong recovery, which has sped up the mix of culture and tourism. However, the rapidly rising footfalls present new challenges for the museums, as they have to cater to the visitors’ demand for special cultural services and take measures to support school research better.
The Suzhou Museum in Jiangsu province offers an example of how museums can adapt to deal with the onrush of visitors. Firstly, the museums should expand their roles beyond the traditional field of education and research, and join the local tourism area. In 2007, the Suzhou Museum conducted a survey of visitors through a questionnaire, which showed that most of the visitors were young well-educated people who were very active on social media. And social media users influence people’s travel habits or decisions, giving rise to popular things such as “city walks”. Based on this insight, the museum published a pocketbook providing information on both its collections and local tourist spots in Suzhou.
Second, the application of digital technology can improve changes in the cultural area. Some museums have also found new ways of interacting with online visitors. 3D virtual modeling and digitalized exhibitions can give visitors the chance to explore museums from a distance.
Third, there is a growing trend of cross-border integration of cultural and educational resources. Politics encourages students to visit museums, improving their historical knowledge through school-related lessons.
Last but not least, museums must also cater to elderly visitors, who make up over 20% of China’s population. The Suzhou Museum carried out a survey of more than 800 people aged 60 or above through questionnaires and interviews last year to understand their preferences and develop age-friendly services. These include making places easy to reach, providing efficient medical services, and displaying artworks in ways that reduce physical effort for all visitors.
Only by paying attention to the real needs of the people can museums provide better cultural offerings and services.
8. What does the underlined phrase “cater to” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Satisfy. B. Afford. C. Support. D. Help.
9. Who are likely to visit museums most according to the survey conducted in 2007?
A. Art and photography fans.
B. History and archeology lovers.
C. International exchange students.
D. Young, well-educated social media users.
10. How did the Suzhou Museum adapt to the increase in visitors?
A. By extending opening hours. B. By meeting different requirements.
C. By focusing on academic research. D. By providing more educational resources.
11. What’s the purpose of this passage?
A. To develop tourism in Jiangsu province.
B. To describe the present state of museums.
C. To discuss the challenges faced by museums.
D. To explain how museums rise to the challenges.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍博物馆客流量增长的现状及应对客流挑战的多种有效策略。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文 “the visitors’ demand for special cultural services and take measures to support school research better.(游客对特色文化服务的需求,并采取措施更好地支持学校的研究活动)”可知,cater to后接的宾语是“游客的需求”,结合语境判断其含义为“满足”,与satisfy同义。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In 2007, the Suzhou Museum conducted a survey of visitors through a questionnaire, which showed that most of the visitors were young well-educated people who were very active on social media.(2007年,苏州博物馆通过问卷调查的方式对游客进行了调研,结果显示大多数游客是在社交媒体上非常活跃的年轻高学历人群)”可知,2007年的调查显示最有可能参观博物馆的是年轻、高学历且活跃于社交媒体的人群。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Based on this insight, the museum published a pocketbook providing information on both its collections and local tourist spots in Suzhou.(基于这一见解,博物馆出版了一本袖珍手册,提供其藏品和苏州当地旅游景点的信息)”,第四段中的“Second, the application of digital technology can improve changes in the cultural area.(其次,数字技术的应用可以促进文化领域的变化)”,第五段中的“Third, there is a growing trend of cross-border integration of cultural and educational resources. (三是文教资源跨界整合趋势日益明显)”和第六段中的“ The Suzhou Museum carried out a survey of more than 800 people aged 60 or above through questionnaires and interviews last year to understand their preferences and develop age-friendly services. (去年,苏州博物馆通过问卷和访谈对800多名60岁或以上的老人进行了调查,以了解他们的喜好,并开发老年人友好服务)”可知,苏州博物馆通过发布包含馆藏和当地景点的手册、应用数字技术、整合文化教育资源、推出适老化服务,即通过满足不同群体的需求来适应客流量的增长。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However, the rapidly rising footfalls present new challenges for the museums, as they have to cater to the visitors’ demand for special cultural services and take measures to support school research better.(然而,快速增长的客流量给博物馆带来了新的挑战,因为它们必须满足游客对特殊文化服务的需求,并采取措施更好地支持学校研究)”以及后文列举的苏州博物馆的多种应对措施,可知本文的目的是说明博物馆如何应对客流量增长带来的挑战。故选D项。

Beijing recently gave the first food business license to a type of robot, pioneering the application of intelligence in the country’s food and drink industry during rapid development.
Unlike single-task robots, such as pancake-making or noodle-machine, the embodied (植入) intelligence robots developed by EncoSmart Technology, a Beijing-based company, can cook different types of dishes. The robots, which look like robotic arms, can also continue learning to create new menus and avoid safety risks based on the working environment.
“Artificial intelligence is an unavoidable trend in the food and drink industry,” said XiaPing, head of the catering department of the Haidian District Market Regulation Bureau, “Before giving the license, we strictly examined the product to make sure it follows national food safety rules. The robot design puts safety in the first place, from hardware materials to software algorithms (算法).” she said.

Our robots can learn through algorithms to improve heating efficiency in order to make the food more tasty. The seasons on robots can track the temperatures of oil to avoid any kitchen fire risks.”
Wang Xinwei, leader of the Beijing Branch of the World Federation of Chinese Catering Industry, said, “The first embodied AI robot food business license symbolizes that this new technology is quickly entering the food and drink market, making it easier to use cook books and hire cooks.”
“While the spread of embodied AI robots may increase short-term employment pressure, in the long run, they will drive the restaurant industry toward greater intelligence, creating new jobs. The key is balancing technological progress with social responsibility to ensure economic and social development,” Wang said.
12. What is special about the robots developed by EncoSmart Technology?
A. They can make pancakes and noodles.
B. They are designed to look like human cooks.
C. They can cook various dishes and keep learning.
D. They can perform different kitchen tasks at a time.

C. Their ability to create new menus.
D. Their efficiency in food processing.
14. What do we know about the robots according to Tian Yan?
A. They are likely to cut down costs.
B. They can design restaurant menus.
C. They can learn new skills and create dishes.
D. They have offered services to chain restaurants.
15. What is Wang Xinwei’s attitude towards the embodied AI robots in the food industry?

Setting goals is not just about knowing how to set them. It’s also important to know why you’re setting them in the first place. ____16____ Here are some tips you can help develop good goal-setting habits.
____17____ You’ll be more likely to achieve your goals if they come from a healthy, actual attitude. If your goal is to develop better eating habits, for instance, you will have a greater chance of success if your motivation is to feel healthier and more energetic, rather than to look good for your upcoming high school reunion.
Create a realistic plan.

Just do it.
Reward yourself for achieving your goals. This positive reward can help train your brain to keep healthy habits. A reward helps your brain decide whether or not this behavior is worth repeating. ____19____ Maybe treating yourself to a cup of coffee after a workout gym session.
Have an action plan for potential difficulties. ____20____ Prepare for some discomfort when you're trying to change your behaviour. Forgive yourself, but don’t make excuses. Figure out what has been standing in your way, and then revise your plan accordingly. If you're struggling to recognize barriers, consider seeking advice from a family member, friend, or expert.
A. What does that look like?
B. Understand your potential.
C. Set a goal for your right reasons.
D. Even the best-laid plans can go off the tracks.
E. Goal-setting is a significant step in achieving success.
F. Then, when it’s time to exercise, don’t make any excuses.
G. You are more likely to stick to your goals when you are really motivated.

Emma’s Big Race
Emma was very excited. Today was the championship running race and a day she had been longing to take part in for weeks. The winners would all get medals and be the top runners in the town. Emma was determined to bring home a medal to hang on her wall. She had never won a medal before.
She put on her running shoes and tied her hair back in a ponytail. She looked in the mirror, took a deep breath, and said loudly, “I hope I run the fastest today.”
On the way to the track, Emma felt nervous. She tapped her foot on the floor of the car. “Are you feeling okay, Emma?” her mother asked, sensing her daughter’s unease. “I really don’t want to finish last,” Emma said. “Just stay focused and don’t worry. You can do it,” Emma’s mother said.
Emma was a great runner during practice, but she had never placed in a real race. She almost always finished in the middle of the groups. Even, she hardly made it to the finish line.
When the relay (接力) started, crowds cheered loudly for the runners. Emma stayed focused and was eager to have a go. Her team was doing well, but they weren’t in first place yet. Frankie, the first runner, had made great time, but Henry, the next, slowed down. Kara managed to speed up, passing a few competitors, but the lead runner from the other team was still ahead.
When it was Emma’s turn to run in the relay, she was ready. The race was close, and it was her team’s last chance to win. The pressure was on.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Emma stood at the starting point, her heart beating wildly. Her palms were sweaty, and her legs trembled slightly, but she remembered her mother’s words: “Just stay focused.” As the baton was passed into her hand, a surge of determination replaced her fear. She pushed off with all her strength, eyes locked on the runner ahead. The wind rushed past her ears, and every step felt like a battle against doubt. “I won’t finish last,” she whispered through gritted teeth. “Not this time.”
The crowd erupted in cheers as Emma picked up speed. She closed the gap, stride by powerful stride, until she was neck and neck with the lead runner. With only twenty meters to go, she dug deeper than ever before, arms pumping, breath burning in her chest. Crossing the finish line, she didn’t know if she’d won — but when her teammates rushed toward her, screaming her name, she saw the scoreboard: her team had taken first place! Tears welled in her eyes as she clutched the baton tightly. For the first time, Emma knew what it felt like to be a champion — and more importantly, to believe in herself.

Four best places to go on holiday
Where are the world’s greatest places to go on holiday to relieve stress? Here are four places that may inspire you to start searching for flights immediately.
Grindavik, Iceland
Grindavik is a sleepy former fishing village just 20 minutes from the airport and offers an easy way to get to many of Iceland’s top sites. Most importantly, it’s home to the Blue Lagoon, a natural hot spring with unique minerals and algae (藻类) not found anywhere else on Earth. Research stated that the Blue Lagoon’s waters are known to improve skin health. The Blue Lagoon’s water also allows you to float weightlessly, which helps to reduce stress, improve energy levels and general wellbeing.
Helsinki, Finland
Around 75% of Finland is covered by forests, and there are almost 200,000 lakes. The country’s chance to visit various natural environments improves wellbeing in many ways. For instance, a 2023 study led by researchers from the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare even found that Helsinki’s rich green and blue spaces reduced people’s use of medicine for depression, anxiety and blood pressure.
Las Catalinas, Costa Rica
The small ocean side town of Las Catalinas improve wellness in special ways. Las Catalinas is entirely car-free — you get around on foot or by bike — which encourages a slower pace of life, more time in nature, and a stronger sense of local community. Las Catalinas is also a great jumping-off point to explore the Nicoya Peninsula, another of the world's five Blue Zones (where locals are twice as likely than Americans to live to age 100!).
Sedona, Arizona
With its sandstone cliffs (悬崖), year-round blue skies, and different ted-green views, Sedona is an ideal place for anyone looking to get back to nature. It’s also one of only 36 certified (认证的) Dark Sky communities in the world, offering opportunities to observe magical Milky Way stars. Research has shown that light pollution is related to increases in stress, mood disorders, and physical health problems — while dark skies promote relaxation and sound sleep.

When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practised my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as I stepped on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside and asked me to be a narrator (叙述者).
I felt disappointed and didn't tell my mother. However, she sensed my unease, instead of suggesting me reciting my lines, she took me for a walk in our yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose leaves were turning green. We could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) popping through the grass. My mother looked at one of the dandelions and said, “I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds (杂草),” then she pulled a flower up by its roots. “From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I said. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.” My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?” she asked thoughtfully. “And that is true of people too,” she added.
Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry. “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. “The narrator's part is as important as the part of a princess.”
Over the next few weeks, with her encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. Lunchtimes were spent reading over my lines and talking about what I would wear. Backstage on the night of the performance, I felt nervous. However, it was at that very moment that I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, which meant to be in company with me. I performed so well that the audience stood up and burst into cheers.
After the play, Mom gently pressed dandelion into the dictionary and grinned happily as she did. “We were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed.” Though years have passed, I always recall our precious lunchtimes being together, grateful for the gift in my pocket.

C. Every individual has their unique value.
D. Roses look more beautiful against weeds.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The gift of Mom. B. The belief of Mom.
C. The magic of flowers. D. The influence of role play.
C
Visiting a museum or going on a study tour is a quickly growing social activity, which has significantly increased footfalls at major museums. This situation has prompted many museums to extend their opening hours. What’s more, the visitors include not just history and archeology (考古) lovers, but also an increasing number of ordinary people.
All this suggests the cultural tourism field is showing strong recovery, which has sped up the mix of culture and tourism. However, the rapidly rising footfalls present new challenges for the museums, as they have to cater to the visitors’ demand for special cultural services and take measures to support school research better.
The Suzhou Museum in Jiangsu province offers an example of how museums can adapt to deal with the onrush of visitors. Firstly, the museums should expand their roles beyond the traditional field of education and research, and join the local tourism area. In 2007, the Suzhou Museum conducted a survey of visitors through a questionnaire, which showed that most of the visitors were young well-educated people who were very active on social media. And social media users influence people’s travel habits or decisions, giving rise to popular things such as “city walks”. Based on this insight, the museum published a pocketbook providing information on both its collections and local tourist spots in Suzhou.
Second, the application of digital technology can improve changes in the cultural area. Some museums have also found new ways of interacting with online visitors. 3D virtual modeling and digitalized exhibitions can give visitors the chance to explore museums from a distance.
Third, there is a growing trend of cross-border integration of cultural and educational resources. Politics encourages students to visit museums, improving their historical knowledge through school-related lessons.
Last but not least, museums must also cater to elderly visitors, who make up over 20% of China’s population. The Suzhou Museum carried out a survey of more than 800 people aged 60 or above through questionnaires and interviews last year to understand their preferences and develop age-friendly services. These include making places easy to reach, providing efficient medical services, and displaying artworks in ways that reduce physical effort for all visitors.
Only by paying attention to the real needs of the people can museums provide better cultural offerings and services.
8. What does the underlined phrase “cater to” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Satisfy. B. Afford. C. Support. D. Help.
9. Who are likely to visit museums most according to the survey conducted in 2007?
A. Art and photography fans.
B. History and archeology lovers.
C. International exchange students.
D. Young, well-educated social media users.
10. How did the Suzhou Museum adapt to the increase in visitors?
A. By extending opening hours. B. By meeting different requirements.
C. By focusing on academic research. D. By providing more educational resources.
11. What’s the purpose of this passage?
A. To develop tourism in Jiangsu province.
B. To describe the present state of museums.
C. To discuss the challenges faced by museums.
D. To explain how museums rise to the challenges.
D
Beijing recently gave the first food business license to a type of robot, pioneering the application of intelligence in the country’s food and drink industry during rapid development.
Unlike single-task robots, such as pancake-making or noodle-machine, the embodied (植入) intelligence robots developed by EncoSmart Technology, a Beijing-based company, can cook different types of dishes. The robots, which look like robotic arms, can also continue learning to create new menus and avoid safety risks based on the working environment.
“Artificial intelligence is an unavoidable trend in the food and drink industry,” said XiaPing, head of the catering department of the Haidian District Market Regulation Bureau, “Before giving the license, we strictly examined the product to make sure it follows national food safety rules. The robot design puts safety in the first place, from hardware materials to software algorithms (算法).” she said.
Tian Yan, head of smart project development at EncoSmart, said: “We’ve already put our first-generation robot that offers fried food in certain office buildings in Haidian. By the end of the year, we plan to expand the services to chain restaurants, enabling robots to make ice cream, drinks and salads.” Tian said she believes that embodied intelligence technology can help reduce costs, simplify food processing, and meet consumer demand for different tastes. “Our goal is to make robots more affordable,” she said. “Safety is the key. Our robots can learn through algorithms to improve heating efficiency in order to make the food more tasty. The seasons on robots can track the temperatures of oil to avoid any kitchen fire risks.”
Wang Xinwei, leader of the Beijing Branch of the World Federation of Chinese Catering Industry, said, “The first embodied AI robot food business license symbolizes that this new technology is quickly entering the food and drink market, making it easier to use cook books and hire cooks.”
“While the spread of embodied AI robots may increase short-term employment pressure, in the long run, they will drive the restaurant industry toward greater intelligence, creating new jobs. The key is balancing technological progress with social responsibility to ensure economic and social development,” Wang said.
12. What is special about the robots developed by EncoSmart Technology?
A. They can make pancakes and noodles.
B. They are designed to look like human cooks.
C. They can cook various dishes and keep learning.
D. They can perform different kitchen tasks at a time.
13. According to Xia Pingping, what was the focus of the pre-license examination of the robots?
A. Their safety with food rules.
B. Their appearance and design.
C. Their ability to create new menus.
D. Their efficiency in food processing.
14. What do we know about the robots according to Tian Yan?
A. They are likely to cut down costs.
B. They can design restaurant menus.
C. They can learn new skills and create dishes.
D. They have offered services to chain restaurants.
15. What is Wang Xinwei’s attitude towards the embodied AI robots in the food industry?
A. Doubtful B. Positive. C. Passive. D. Concerned.

Good goal-setting habits
Setting goals is not just about knowing how to set them. It’s also important to know why you’re setting them in the first place. ____16____ Here are some tips you can help develop good goal-setting habits.
____17____ You’ll be more likely to achieve your goals if they come from a healthy, actual attitude. If your goal is to develop better eating habits, for instance, you will have a greater chance of success if your motivation is to feel healthier and more energetic, rather than to look good for your upcoming high school reunion.
Create a realistic plan. Any goal-setting plan should be realistic — and non-negotiable, except in the case of an emergency or risk. “If your goal is to get regular exercise, set a plan for what activity you’ll do and how much time or distance you will cover each day,” says Wallin. ____18____. Just do it.
Reward yourself for achieving your goals. This positive reward can help train your brain to keep healthy habits. A reward helps your brain decide whether or not this behavior is worth repeating. ____19____ Maybe treating yourself to a cup of coffee after a workout gym session.
Have an action plan for potential difficulties. ____20____ Prepare for some discomfort when you're trying to change your behaviour. Forgive yourself, but don’t make excuses. Figure out what has been standing in your way, and then revise your plan accordingly. If you're struggling to recognize barriers, consider seeking advice from a family member, friend, or expert.
A. What does that look like?
B. Understand your potential.
C. Set a goal for your right reasons.
D. Even the best-laid plans can go off the tracks.
E. Goal-setting is a significant step in achieving success.
F. Then, when it’s time to exercise, don’t make any excuses.
G. You are more likely to stick to your goals when you are really motivated.

Emma’s Big Race
Emma was very excited. Today was the championship running race and a day she had been longing to take part in for weeks. The winners would all get medals and be the top runners in the town. Emma was determined to bring home a medal to hang on her wall. She had never won a medal before.
She put on her running shoes and tied her hair back in a ponytail. She looked in the mirror, took a deep breath, and said loudly, “I hope I run the fastest today.”
On the way to the track, Emma felt nervous. She tapped her foot on the floor of the car. “Are you feeling okay, Emma?” her mother asked, sensing her daughter’s unease. “I really don’t want to finish last,” Emma said. “Just stay focused and don’t worry. You can do it,” Emma’s mother said.
Emma was a great runner during practice, but she had never placed in a real race. She almost always finished in the middle of the groups. Even, she hardly made it to the finish line.
When the relay (接力) started, crowds cheered loudly for the runners. Emma stayed focused and was eager to have a go. Her team was doing well, but they weren’t in first place yet. Frankie, the first runner, had made great time, but Henry, the next, slowed down. Kara managed to speed up, passing a few competitors, but the lead runner from the other team was still ahead.
When it was Emma’s turn to run in the relay, she was ready. The race was close, and it was her team’s last chance to win. The pressure was on.
