At first, everything went well. Suddenly, his father stopped. Ethan stopped and turned back. He saw that his father was removing (拿开) pebbles (砾石) from his shoes carefully.
“What's the matter, Dad?” Ethan asked.
“A few pebbles are in my shoes,” the father replied.
Ethan looked down at his own feet. Feeling uncomfortable because of the pebbles in his shoes,he said,“I' ve got pebbles too. But if I stop now, I' ll lose the race.”
“Ethan, sometimes it's more important to take care of the small issues before they become big problems.”

①Have you seen wind lift a kite into the sky? It is a common example of how humans use nature's energy. Actually, humans can always think of ways to use energy in nature, such as the use of wind energy. And humans have been using this power for thousands of years. There are many facts about using wind.
②Boats were one of the most important forms of transportation for ancient people. Wind blows against the boats' sails(帆), and then pushes them forward. Modern technology can make wind power even more helpful by using it to produce electricity. Wind makes windmills(风车) turn faster,

which helps change the power of the wind into electricity. Then the electricity travels through power lines and is sent out to homes and more. More importantly, wind energy is a clean and renewable source.
③Besides humans, plants also take advantage of wind power. Seeds (种子) are carried by wind to new places, allowing plants to spread and grow. A light wind can send hundreds of dandelion(蒲公英) seeds flying everywhere. When the seeds land, they can grow into new plants.
④And animals also make use of wind power. For example, birds use their wings to fly, but that takes a lot of energy. With the help of wind, they can fly much more easily. Spiders make strong silk in their bodies. Many baby spiders travel far by throwing a thread(线、丝) into the air and letting wind carry them away.
⑤Using wind energy is a step towards a greener and pollution-free environment. Next time you see a sailboat moving in the water or a bird flying in the sky, remember the power of wind. It's a force of nature. And it is also a symbol of friendship between humans and nature.
26. Why does the writer give an example of using wind energy in Paragraph 1?
A. To share an idea. B. To discuss a problem.

What does success mean? Success is a result you get by trying your best. It doesn't have to be a big prize. Studying hard or learning to cook a new dish—— anything you put effort into and feel proud

of is a form of success. 31 It could be something personal that others may not notice, like finishing a long run, raising your hand to answer in class, or trying something that used to scare you.Any activity that takes courage, skill, or patience can be seen as a success.
32 Winning a singing competition feels amazing, but practicing a song until you get it right is also valuable. However, you might not always notice your small success. Sometimes, we only notice big moments and miss the small ones. For example, when you organize a group study, you not only help your classmates, but also deepen your own knowledge.
33 Studies show that celebrating progress makes your brain active and you feel better about yourself. This positive feeling encourages you and helps you face new challenges with greater confidence. 34
How can you reward (奖励) your own progress? One interesting way is to create a“progress box”. Each time you complete a goal——big or small——write it on a note and put it in the box. When you collect 20 notes, do something nice for yourself. 35 Such activities help you relax and feel happy. It's also meaningful to share your progress with family and friends. Their encouragement can make your success more meaningful and joyful.
A. Why is celebrating important?
B. Try setting more goals for next year.
C. What kinds of success should be celebrated?
D. You' re able to overcome(克服) difficulties in the future.
E. It's a good feeling that comes from many parts of your life.
F. You can watch your favorite movie or go outdoors with friends.

Have you ever imagined being in a car which is driven by a computer, not a human? In recent years, China has made great progress in self-driving technology. And self-driving cars have become part of traffic in some big cities. Since August, 2022, self-driving taxis can run on the roads in Wuhan,Chongqing and Shenzhen. Why do we develop self-driving cars?
Self-driving cars can bring us many advantages. First, they use a central computer to feel the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams and better parking space for cars. The computer system makes it easier to park the cars, especially for those who have trouble in parking. Second, self-driving cars can help the disabled (残疾的) or blind people to get around more easily. Third, self-driving cars hardly make wrong decisions or lose focus (注意力), so there will be fewer accidents and deaths on the road. They can help increase traffic safety by 90percent.
However, self-driving cars are not perfect. They also have some problems. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars cannot react (反应) as fast as human drivers. Also,when the weather is bad, like heavy snow, self-driving cars cannot see the lines on the road easily.This may cause an accident. Besides, if the computer system of the car is broken by someone, the car will crash (撞毁).
It is clear that there is still a long way to go to make the technology of self-driving cars more common and safer. And China is taking steps to make this happen.
