I've always been intimidated by cooking.My earliest memories of kitchen experiences involve burnt toast and a
pot of boiled eggs that exploded,leaving a sticky mess on the stove.My mother,a talented cook,would often laugh
and take over,and I soon decided that cooking was a skill I'd never master.But everything changed last summer
when I moved into my own apartment-and-realized I couldn't survive on takeout forever.
At first,I stuck to the simplest recipes:instant noodles,serambled eggs,and pre-made salads.But I quickly
grew tired of the monotony and craved something more satisfying.One weekend,I found my grandmother's old
recipe book in a box of family heirlooms.The book was worn and filled with handwritten notes,and inside were
recipes for her famous braised pork ribs and red bean soup dishes I'd loved as a child.Suddenly,I felt a desire to
recreate those flavors,not just for sustenanee,but to feel closer to my grandmother.
My first attempt at braised pork ribs was a disaster.L added too much soy sauce,burned the sugar,and the meat
was tough and chewy.I felt discouraged,but I didn't give up.I re-read the recipe carefully,watched several cooking
tutorials online,and adjusted my method.The second try was better,but still not perfect.By the third attempt,the
ribs were tender,flavorful,and full of the familiar taste I remembered.
As I continued cooking,I discovered something surprising:I enjoyed it.It was a creative process that allowed
me to experiment and express myself.Cooking also became a way to relieve stress after a long day of studying.I
learned to be patient,as good dishes take time to prepare.I also learned responsibility,as I had to plan my meals and
manage my ingredients properly.Now,I often invite friends over for dinner,and nothing makes me happier than
seeing them enjoy the food I've cooked.
I no longer fear the kitchen.Instead,it's become a place of joy and connection-a place where I can honor my
grandmother's memory-and-create new memories of my own.
24.Why did the author decide to learn cooking seriously?

Postmates,an American delivery company,has built a robot,called Serve,which was designed to make
short-distance deliveries in cities.
To know what's going on,Serve has a laser radar )sensor on top,in which spinning lasers let it detect
objects around it and know hew far away they are.Also,behind each artificial eye is a camera,with six more
imaging devices spread around the robot.Inside it is another sensor that allows Postmates to know if there is a
package in there.
"One of our key decisions early on was to rely heavily on the robot's ability to see the environment,"says Ali
Kashani,the vice president for robotics at Postmates.Since the sidewalk is"a very chaotic environment",he points
out,the robot needs to be able to take it all in and figure out what to do.This robot,and many like it,also must be
able to signal their intentions to the pedestrians().For that,it has a number of approaches.One is using its eyes;
another is a colourful light ring that goes around the top."When if wants to make way for a pedestrian,it will use its
eyes and look down,"he explains.It can also use the lights on the top as a turn signnl,which is obvious,and also
look left and right when it's turning left and right.
"Using eye movements and other silent signals is a good idea,"says Aaron Steinfeld,a professor of human-robot
interaction.Serve is intended for sidewalks and Steinfeld says that environment is challenging.People usually walk
fast while staring at a smartphone.For a robot,that's a lot."We have active research on robot moving socially
around walking people,"he says."And it's really tricky to do this well."
Postmates plans to-use Serve in Los Angeles-at first,and that its intended task is to move small objects over
short distances.The robot ean travel 30 miles on one charge and is able to carry 50 pounds.
28.What is the function-of Serve's laser radar?
A.To detect surrounding objects and their distances.
B.To take photos of objects in the city.
C.To check if there is a package inside.
D.To help find short-distance delivery places.
29.How does Serve signal to pedestrians?
A.By using its legs.
B.By making loud sounds.
C.By eye movements.
D.By playing music.
30.What does Aaron Steinfeld think of making robot moving soeially around pedestrians?
A.Amusing.
B.Difficult.
C.Boring.
D.Impractical.

The debate has lasted for more than a century:does birth order shape personality,or are ideas about responsible
firstborns and creative youngest children weak stereotypes(刻板印象)?Although several previous studies suggested
there was little evidence for meaningful differences.a study published on Monday argues that there is an effect after
all,
In one of the largest studies ever conducted on birth order,family size and personality,Canadian researchers
gathered data from more than 700,000 volunteers and found that on average,middle children scored higher than their
siblings(on traits seen as important for cooperation.Scores for the same traits were also higher in families
with more children,suggesting that people may be more likely to develop a cooperative personality when they are
raised as part of a bigger group.
Although the effects were not large,the researchers believe the findings challenge earlier conclusions."The
weight of that evidence now indicates that personality trait levels do differ as a function of birth order and sibship
size,"wrote Michael Ashton and Kiboom Lee in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Interest in birth order goes back a long way.In 1874,Francis Galton examined English scientists.and argued
that firstborns benefited from greater parental attention.Later,psychologist Alfred Adler suggested that firstborns
tended to be conscientious,youngest children creative,and middle children peacemakers,though some viewed them
as“forgotten children,”
Earlier research found firstborns to be slightly smarter than Inter-born children,a pattern also observed in the
Canadian study.Beyond intelligence,the researchers identified differences in cooperative traits.People with more
siblings scored higher on agreeableness and honesty-humility,with middle children showing a small additional
advantage.
The findings suggest that if an only child and a person from a family of six were chosen at random,there was a
60%chance that the more agreeable would be from the family of six."You.can't tell much about the personality of a
given individual from their birth order or family size,even though there are clear differences when averaging across
many people.Anyway,having more siblings fosters a more cooperative personality,while being-a middle child-calls
for good bonds with younger and older siblings,"Lee said.
32.What can we-learn from the study results?
A.Only middle children develop cooperative traits.
B.Birth order shapes personality more than family size.
C.Family size may contribute to cooperative personality.
D.Middle children have better academic.performanees.
33.Why does the author mention Galton and Adler in Para 4?
A.To explain how to be more cooperative.
B.To trace the historical interest in birth order.
C.To describe Canadian psychologists'methods.
D.To emphasize the negleet of middle children today.
34.Whatdo Lee's words in the last paragraph suggest?
A.Statistieal differences are practically meaningless.
B.Birth order and family size have-ne effect on personality.
C.Children from big families are bound to be more agreeable
D.Birth order alone cannot determine an individual's personality.

Armed with two over-packed suitcases,we arrived at the airport just in time for my flight."Well,here we are,
the airport,"my sister said with a sigh.As I watched her unload my luggage,I could see the sadness in her eyes.This
was not easy on her either.We had both been dreading (this moment for the past week.One last hug and a
final good-bye and I would be on my way to a new life abroad,leaving my beloved sister behind.
All my life I had loved airports.To me they were some kind of magic gateway to the world,a place from which
to start great holidays and adventures.But today it seemed like a cold and heartless place.I looked at my sister and
even though her eyes were filled with tears,she was trying to keep a brave face."You'd better go or you'll miss your
flight,.”she said.
"I'll miss you,"I replied,and with those last words I was off.As promised,I did not look back,but by the time I
reached the customs office I was sobbing(喂泣).“Cheer up,love,”'the tall customs.officer said with a smile..“t's
not the end of the world,you know."But to me it was the end of the world,as I had known it.
While boarding the plane I was still crying.I did not have the energy to put my bag in the overhead locker,so I
stuffed it on the empty seat next to mine.As I settled into my chair,a feeling of sadness overwhelmed me.I felt like
my best friend had just been taken away from me.
Growing up,my sister and I would do everything together.Bom barely fifteen months apart we not only looked
alike,we were alike.Whenever one of us need something,the other one would come along.When the time came for
us to go to college,we also went together.But now that our college days were over and I was off to a foreign country,
all I had left were my memories.

Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well due to diet problems and lack of exercise. It’s high time you formed a healthy lifestyle.
First, a balanced diet is crucial. Cut down on junk food and include more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your meals. They can provide you with the necessary nutrients. Second, regular exercise is essential for good health. You could choose an activity you like, such as jogging or playing basketball. It not only keeps you fit but also boosts your energy. Finally, don’t forget to relax. Engage in some fun activities like listening to music or reading books to relieve stress. This can help you focus better on your studies.
I believe these changes will make you feel better and improve your life.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Suddenly the plane shook heavily and the bag next to me fell on the floor. Frightened, I quickly reached down to pick it up, and as I did, a small notebook fell out from the bag. I opened it and immediately recognized my sister’s handwriting. It was a diary she had secretly slipped into my bag before I left. Flipping through the pages, I found heartfelt messages, memories of our childhood, and words of encouragement for my new journey. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the depth of her love and support, even in my absence.
I spent the rest of the flight reading about my sister’s diary. Her words on the page brought a bittersweet mix of emotions, reminding me of the bond we shared and the strength she always gave me. As I read through the diary, I felt a sense of warmth and comfort, as if she were right there beside me. It was a precious gift that I would cherish throughout my time abroad, a reminder of the unbreakable connection between us despite the physical distance. Holding onto the diary, I knew that no matter where life took me, my sister would always be with me in spirit.

W: Thanks. Unlike me, my sister has shown a strong interest in science subjects since she was a little girl.
M: Well, your interests are totally different. Who has had the greatest influence on your choice of major?
W: It’s my grandmother, without doubt. She graduated from Academy of Arts and Design, Tsinghua University. She was an art teacher before retirement. She made me realize that art is great. That’s why I am determined to take art as my major.

W: Thank you for bringing me so many good books, some of which I have been looking forward to for a long time.
M: My pleasure. I work in a bookstore, which has got a lot of good books these days, so I bought some for you.
W: Thanks again. You can stay for dinner if you like. I’m a pretty good cook, you know.
M: Of course.
W: Oh, there’s one more thing. Remember I told you that I wanted to visit my parents on Saturday afternoon?
M: Yeah, I remember.
W: The problem is that I took my car to the repair shop to have its engine replaced. So I was wondering if you could lend me your car this Saturday afternoon.
M: Oh, I’d really love to help you out, but I’m going to use my car all weekend. I have a friend coming from out of town and I promised to take her to the sights.
W: I see. It’s okay.

This is the afternoon traffic update. A major accident involving several cars has occurred on the Harbour Bridge into the city, and it is now blocked in both directions. All traffic heading into the city is being directed to use another road, causing long delays of over an hour. Drivers are strongly advised to avoid this area and use a different bridge instead. Separately, on the M4 Highway, a large truck has stopped working in the main road near a popular exit, resulting in very slow traffic for those traveling away from the city. Emergency services are there to help, but delays are expected to last through the evening rush hour. Lastly, due to necessary repairs earlier today, train services on the T1Western Line have started again but are running behind schedule by up to twenty minutes. Passengers should check the transport app for the latest information before they travel.
