Jake Lee Pinnick is busy preparing food, clothing and house decorations, putting up couplets(对联) and visiting friends with his family to celebrate the Spring Festival.
In 2010, the American traveled to the Wudang Mountains, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in central China’s Hubei Province, to learn martial arts(武术). Pinnick said he was very interested in Chinese kung fu from a young age.
When Pinnick first arrived in the Wudang Mountains, he had no training or martial arts experience, so he began with a five-year training program, learning the basics and all about Taoist culture. Pinnick said the
first six months were the hardest, because he had to train for eight or nine hours, six days a week, whatever the temperature outside.
After over a decade of hard training, he has mastered various forms of Chinese kung fu, including Tai Chi and qigong, and become an instructor with about 200 apprentices(学徒) in China. He likes the Spring Festival and the traditions here. He also teaches his daughter Selina Lee Pinnick these traditions.
As the new year begins, people are starting new chapters in their lives and making resolutions. Pinnick also has many plans and wishes — he plans on making more efforts to learn the Chinese language this year.
In addition to learning Chinese, Pinnick will continue to learn about traditional Chinese culture and how to play Chinese musical instruments in his leisure time, and he will share his experience on social media.
"I think that my experience of coming to China as a foreigner to learn the culture from the outside is unique. I hope to introduce Chinese kung fu and traditions to more westerners," he said.
4.What was Pinnick’s main reason for traveling to the Wudang Mountains?( )

Sweetgreen, a California-based restaurant chain, has made its latest innovation, the Infinite Kitchen, public at its Willis Tower location in Chicago. This automated(自动化的) system changes the salad-making process by combining speed, accuracy, and freshness, offering an improved dining experience to customers.
The Infinite Kitchen, first introduced in select locations, uses a production line of robotic chefs to craft salads with strict standards. Ingredients(食材) are divided, mixed, and maintained at ideal temperatures, ensuring consistency(稳定性) and quality. While robots deal with the preparation, human team members manage machine refilling and finishing touches.
Chicago’s Willis Tower restaurant is the first to adopt a model that runs both traditional and automated salad lines. This approach allows Sweetgreen to refine the Infinite Kitchen system while maintaining the
personal touch of human interactions. The automated kitchen also promises increased productivity, with a seven percent reduction in workforce costs reported across participating locations.
Sweetgreen, founded in 2007, has grown into a national chain in the U.S., aiming to improve fast food with fresh, healthy options. The cost of setting up the system, about $450,000-$550,000 per location, is seen as a contribution to future savings. Sweetgreen’s co-founder Nicolas Jammet stresses that no employees have been laid off due to automation; instead, they have taken on customer-focused roles.
Despite challenges like reduced office lunch crowds in Chicago in the past three years, the Willis Tower location continues to serve thousands of customers daily. The Infinite Kitchen aims to deal with peak-hour demand more effectively, speeding up service while maintaining high-quality meals.
As Sweetgreen looks to ways of improving this technology, it’s preparing the way for a cooperative future between humans and machines, aiming to "reimagine the fast food experience". Robots deliver speed and accuracy, while humans focus on providing a friendly, welcoming environment.
8.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?( )
A.Advantages of robotic chefs.
B.Humans’ role in the automated system.
C.The running mode of the Infinite Kitchen.
D.Features of salads produced by machine.
9.What does the underlined word "refine" in paragraph 3 mean?( )
A.Repair. B.Improve. C.Change. D.Simplify.
10.What has happened to the staff in Sweetgreen according to Nicolas Jammet?( )
A.Their salaries have gone up.
B.They have been out of work.
C.Their work becomes more difficult.
D.They have new tasks in the restaurant.
11.What will the future of Sweetgreen probably be like?( )
A.Bright. B.Worrying. C.Uncertain. D.Unchanging.

Have you ever played a computer game for a long time and then kept seeing the game’s images
afterward? This happened to me with the classic shape-falling game Tetris(俄罗斯方块), created in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov.
Feeling stressed one evening, I turned on my phone to find a game to play and relax with. That’s when I discovered Tetris. Before I knew it, I was extremely interested. Even when I stopped, my brain was still playing, with the blocks falling in my mind. I started looking at objects in the real world and thinking about how they could be moved and stacked(堆放) together. I even dreamed about Tetris. I was experiencing the common "Tetris Effect".
Introduced by journalist Jeffrey Goldsmith in his 1994 WIRED magazine article called This Is Your Brain on Tetris, the effect has been observed by psychologists and researchers. The lasting images of Tetris are due to the "Zeigarnik Effect", in which people have better memories of uncompleted tasks than those of completed ones. Tetris, being a game that technically never ends, keeps you thinking of the game’s unfinished task. And the pleasant music stays with you, too.
There are also positives of the Tetris Effect. In his 1991 study, psychologist Richard Haier at the University of California found that continuously playing Tetris results in the thickness of the cerebral cortex(大脑皮层) increasing, which improves brain function.
Tetris has also been researched for use as a treatment for mental suffering. The Yale Scientific Magazine reported that researchers at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, UK, found that playing Tetris appears to reduce unpleasant memories in the short term for people affected by motor vehicle accidents.
So, the next time you want to play a computer game, why not try the classic Tetris and see if it improves your brain function? But be warned: you’ll likely be seeing falling blocks everywhere.
12.What happened to the author after he played the game Tetris?( )
A.He was addicted to it.
B.He kept thinking about it.
C.He was relaxed completely.
D.He saw falling blocks everywhere.
13.What can we learn about the "Tetris Effect" from the text?( )
A.It was introduced by a researcher.
B.It was known for its pleasant music.
C.It is related to the way our memory works.
D.It is common among computer game players.
14.What benefit can people get from continuously playing Tetris according to Richard Haier?( )
A.Better brain function. B.Improving happiness.
C.Reducing short memories. D.Relief from bad experiences.
15.What might the author be like according to the last paragraph?( )
A.Serious. B.Humorous. C.Curious. D.Patient.

六、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Daniel and Lucas are twins. They are teenagers, studying in the same class. Their teenage life is rich and colorful. Tony is their grandpa, whose age is 70 this year. The two grandsons like to take exercise with their grandpa and even go out on adventures.
In the summer of last year, they paid a visit to Stone Mountain Park with their grandpa. They had the opportunity to spend the day with their grandpa, seeing the various beautiful sights and attractions. One thing that three of them had really desired to do was climb to the top of the mountain. Stone Mountain isn’t a very high mountain and fortunately there are some walking routes to the top of it, but for the two teenagers, along with a rather old grandpa, it’s a difficult task.
Daniel and Lucas were much more interested in the walk than their grandpa, and they viewed it as an exciting adventure. But climbing the mountain was a rather big challenge for Tony, who was old and thin. He decided to walk slowly up to the mountain.
It seemed as if it had taken Tony forever to climb just a short distance, but considering his personal safety, he had to remind himself that his two steps equal his grandsons’ one step. When he walked closer to his grandsons, he had to stop for a while to regain energy, and then tried to catch up with them, over and over again.
Tony was very tired. He just wanted to arrive at the top of the mountain as soon as possible to enjoy the beauty of the mountain top. But the twin grandsons didn’t focus their attention on the trail at all when climbing the mountain. On the contrary, they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk. They enjoyed all that they had seen and all that they had heard along the way up to the top of the mountain. They stopped now and then to look at every large rock and observe the unusual plants. Suddenly, they found a strange plant. Daniel called out, "Grandpa, here is a special plant. Come and have a look."
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
