Jacob hated finishing things almost as much as he loved starting them.As a result,he had gotten into a million hobbies and activities,but he never stuck with any of them long enough to get any good.
He begged his mother for months for a guitar so that he could play songs to Angie,a girl he liked,but after he finally got one for Christmas,he found out that guitars didn’t play themselves.He took a few lessons,but the strings hurt his fingers,so now the five-hundred dollar guitar lives under his bed.
After reading an ad in the back of one of his comic books,Jacob decided that he wanted a metal detector(探测器),so that he could find buried treasure.By the time spring came he had saved $200 and purchased the metal detector.He beeped it around the park for a while,but soon found out that no one had ever left any treasure in his neighborhood.He buried the metal detector in his closet.
Given Jacob’s history with hobbies,it was no surprise that Jacob’s father was unwilling to buy him a magician’s kit(魔术包) for his birthday.“Dad,this time I’ll stick with it for real.I promise!” Jacob begged.Jacob’s father sighed.But he was reminded of his own youth long ago,when he quit football and started boxing practice before hardly getting his equipment dirty.So when Jacob’s birthday came around,he was both surprised and pleased to find the magician’s kit that he had desired so badly.As Jacob continued pulling plastic thumbs and giant playing cards out of the kit,an ad on the TV caught his attention.
“Hey kids!Have you ever wanted to go to space?For only $195 you can go to space camp and live life like an astronaut for a whole weekend!” As the ad continued playing,Jacob walked away from the magic kit and stared at the TV screen eagerly.Jacob’s cry rang throughout the house as he yelled,“MOM!” He now knew what his true purpose in life was.

Growing up in coconut-rich regions in India and with his father working in the related industry,Anees Ahmed heard of coco peat(椰壳泥) at an early age.After completing graduation in bio-technology from college,Ahmed worked as a researcher on agriculture in various places.He recalls that while studying about coco peat,he discovered that many countries used peat moss(泥炭苔) as an ingredient to keep soil rich.The extraction of this material leads to the release of carbon dioxide,which further contributes to global warming.
According to Dutch researchers,coco peat’s water-holding capacity,disease resistance,and renewable nature make it suitable for gardening and agricultural activities.Ahmed realized that coco peat could be a better alternative to peat moss and then started a company,Global Green Coir,in 2012.When Ahmed entered the market there were only few companies using this material as coco peat was not popular among people,and even coco peat was mostly considered as wastes.“At first people and companies used to give us coco peat for free,” he said.
Now Ahmed’s company gets coco peat from coconut shell to make varied products like pots,bricks,blocks,and grow bags that are exported internationally.However,Ahmed’s journey was not without challenges.He was met with doubts at the beginning.He insisted to demonstrate the potential of the material.His efforts paid off and gained recognition slowly at home and abroad.Ten percent of his business comes from India and the rest is from countries like the US,Europe,the Middle East,and more.Anyway,India is a huge market and most people are adapting to such products gradually.
Ahmed and his family made an initial investment of $5,000 to start the business.Now their sales volume of the last five years has been around $6 million.“With increasing focus on organic farming,coco peat will soon gain more popularity.It is estimated that the coco peat market is expected to reach 5.26 billion by 2030 from 3.89 billion in 2023,” Ahmed said.
28.What inspired Ahmed to set up a company?
A.He recognized the potential of coco peat.
B.Peat moss was used to enrich soil worldwide.
C.He had studied agriculture for many years.
D.He wanted to realize his father’s dream.
29.What problem was Ahmed faced with at the beginning of his business?
A.There were a few competitors in the market.
B.His product was not popular among people.
C.His company suffered from lack of money.
D.Coco peat was not good enough at that time.
30.Which of the following can best describe Ahmed’s personality?
A.Careful and independent.
B.Cautious and energetic.
C.Wise and determined.
D.Ambitious and kind.
31.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Coco peat makes Ahmed a success.
B.The most valuable company in India.
C.Coco peat is better than peat moss.
D.Organic farming has a promising future.

Scientists have found too much leisure time might not be good for people’s sense of subjective well-being(主观幸福感).While levels of well-being initially rise as free time increases,the trend does not necessarily hold for very high levels of leisure.
“The sweet spot is a moderate amount of free time,” said Dr.Marissa Sharif,a co-author of the study from the University of Pennsylvania.“We found that having too much time was associated with lower subjective well-being due to a lacking sense of productivity and purpose.” The study found that although subjective well-being rose with the amount of free time up to about two hours,it began to drop once it lasted more than five hours.
Meanwhile,data from the National Study of the Changing Workforce,carried out between 1992 and 2008,revealed that beyond a certain point,having more free time was no longer linked to greater subjective well-being,but it did not drop—possibly because few of the participants reported having more than five hours of free time a day.Nevertheless,it is suggested that people who have too little free time should not quit all of their obligations,but instead try to find a couple of leisure hours a day.Meanwhile those with empty days should try spending their time with purpose,connecting with others or doing something productive.
Andrew Oswald,a professor of economics and behavioral science at the University of Warwick,welcomed the research.“This is a valuable study because it provides all sorts of statistical evidence for a very easily understandable idea;human beings like having spare time for leisure,home chores,hobbies,etc.—in their day but not too much of it,” he said.“It’s a Goldilocks principle—just the right amount.”
32.What can we learn from paragraphs 1 and 2?
A.People can keep a balance between business and leisure.
B.People won’t feel happy when free time increases.
C.People are likely to do something aimlessly at free time.
D.People tend to do housework when they are free.
33.What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Duties. B.Habits.
C.Jobs. D.Hobbies.
34.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To inspire more thought.
B.To raise a new topic.
C.To offer some advice.
D.To make a summary.
35.Which of the following might be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Goldilocks Principle—Just the Right Amount
B.The Sweet Spot in Our Daily Life
C.More Leisure Time,Lower Subjective Well-being?
D.How to Enjoy Leisure Time With a Sense of Purpose

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you have an important or favorite memory from the past?Perhaps it was clapping for goals. 36 By sharing our memories,we can feel closer to other people and more positive about what we’ve been through.
How does memory work?
Scientists believe there are two levels of memory.One is short-term or working memory,which stays in your brain for only 15-30 seconds.The other level is long-term or permanent memory,which can be stored for days,months or even years.
37 Motor-skill memories help you remember how to ride a bike;factual memories help you to recognize faces.These types of memories can be short-term or long-term ones.Emotional memories recall how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful.Remembering the sadness of missing your friends during lockdown,and being happy and excited to see them again afterwards,are emotional memories. 38
Why are memories important?
Memories tell you the story of yourself.Information such as which school you go to and who your friends are is stored inside your brain,ready for when you need it. 39 “If I miss seeing my grandparents,I remember staying with them in Devon.It makes me feel happy,like when I was there,” Heidi,12,told The Week.
40 When people think of shared experience,what usually comes to mind is being close with others,such as friends or family,and talking with them.By telling a funny or embarrassing story—perhaps the time the dog stole the Christmas ham—we share feelings of joy or recognition of difficulties overcome,large or small.By sharing similar or not-so-similar experiences,we empathize with and understand one another better.
A.There are many uses for memory.
B.Memories can help you own well-being.
C.Shared memories can connect you to others.
D.Time cannot erase his memories of the past.
E.Memories can also help you manage feelings.
F.Or it was seeing rainbow pictures in the windows.
G.They are long-term ones and can sometimes last a lifetime.

At Piedmont Middle School,a kid could run track or play tennis,but everyone wanted to be on the soccer team.Laura had dreamed of earning glory for the Falcons ever since the first grade,when her older brother Toni scored the winning goal in the county middle school championship.The day she joined the team as a sixth-grader,she felt like she could fly.
But,unfortunately,her joy didn’t last.She spent most of the season on the bench.It was all because of the huge mistake she made in her first game.She passed the ball in the completely wrong direction!Straight to an enemy in blue,who quickly shot it into the corner of the net,scoring.The coach benched Laura for the rest of the game.When the Falcons lost 1-0,she was crushed.
Now that the season was over,she just wanted to forget about soccer.She clearly wasn’t good enough to play with the Falcons,and that was that.
A few days later,Laura’s mother found her lying on the sofa,watching music videos on her phone.
“You’d be better off practicing,” her mother said.
“What for?” Laura said,rolling her eyes.“It won’t help me.I need someone to watch me and tell me how I can improve.I can’t get better by myself.”
Sighing,her mom sank down on the sofa.“Laura,for every lock,there is a key.We just have to find it.”
After a moment,she added,“What if I film you during practice to help you find ways to improve?”
“But the season’s over,Mom.No more practice,remember?”
“The best players keep practicing even when the season’s over,” her mother said.“You remember Toni spending all summer bouncing a ball off his head in the driveway.He used to run ten miles a day in the Arizona summer sun.You think he did that for fun?”
“But to practice plays I need at least one other person,” Laura protested.
Her mother patted her on the knee.“We’ll find that key,too,” she said.
注意:

M:Well,as a small child I never had much interest in horses though I wasn’t scared of them.My older sister started horse-riding lessons.I used to see the look on her face when she came home,so that’s why I decided to try it.

M:Actually,I was always pretty fit because I liked walking.But being with horses so much has made me calmer—more willing to wait for things.

W:Will you carry on riding when you’re older?
M:Mm...I watch the little kids having their lessons at the club,and I wonder about teaching,but I’m not sure if it’s for me.What really attracts me is the idea of training horses.
W:Thank you,Noah.

Many American cities have nicknames.Los Angeles is one of them.Los Angeles is the second largest city in population after New York City.Los Angeles has several nicknames.One is LA.It is also called City of Angels because Los Angeles means “the angels” in Spanish.Los Angeles often has warm,sunny weather.So another nickname is City of Flowers and Sunshine.New York is called The Big Apple.So Los Angeles is sometimes called the Big Orange because of the fruit that grows in that city’s warm climate.The American television industries are based in Los Angeles.So it’s not surprising that it’s called The Entertainment Capital of the World.Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood.Millions of people visit the area.No trip to Los Angeles is complete without seeing the word “Hollywood”spelled out in huge letter in a hillside.Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-La Land,using the first letters of Los and Angeles.This means a place that is fun and not serious,and may be even out of touch with reality.

The next morning,Laura’s mother shook her awake early,“Come on,Laura;it’s soccer time.”Reluctantly,Laura dragged herself out of bed,still feeling disheartened from her previous season’s disappointment.However,seeing her mother’s determination,Laura found herself unable to refuse.With a nod of encouragement,Laura began her drills,her movements slow and hesitant at first.With each repetition,however,she felt a sense of determination growing within her.With her mother’s watchful eye behind the camera,Laura focused on strengthening her legs,perfecting her footwork,and sharpening her ball control skills.The hours passed in a blur of sweat and effort,but with each practice session,Laura could feel herself growing stronger,more confident,and more capable.
When the next season came around,Laura was ready.With newfound determination and a strengthened resolve,she stepped onto the field with confidence.In the first game of the season,Laura’s hard work paid off.As the whistle blew,she moved past opponents with ease,displaying newfound agility and precision.With a swift move,she scored a spectacular goal,earning cheers from her teammates and spectators alike.On the way home,Laura’s friend couldn’t help but mention her remarkable improvement.“For every lock,there is a key!” Laura proudly exclaimed.Sitting in the front seat,Laura’s mother smiled silently,knowing that their perseverance and dedication had unlocked a new chapter of success for Laura on the soccer field.
