Coined by a Wall Street Journal writer,admin night is a special period of time,usually 2-4
hours in the evening,when a small group of friends gather to tackle personal administrative tasks
in a social,low-pressure setting.
This online fashion trend combines productivity with companionship,turning boring"to-dos"
into a fun group activity.Its core goal is to complete postponed tasks rather than just socialize,
using "body doubling",a psychological phenomenon where people perform better with a peer
人)present,to beat procrastination(拖延症)and reduce the mental stress of uncompleted tasks.
Suitable Tasks
Best for important but unurgent,simple and repetitive tasks,such as:
Canceling unused subscriptions;
Paying bills and checking personal finances;
Scheduling doctor or dental appointments;

Imagine looking through a powerful telescope,unlocking secrets of the universe that no one
had ever seen before.This was the life of Edwin Hubble,a man whose discoveries would forever
change our understanding of the universe.But what if I told you that one of the most
groundbreaking discoveries in astronomy began with Hubble admitting he was wrong?
Edwin Hubble,working at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California,set out on a mission
to observe distant galaxies (with the 100-inch Hooker telescope in 1919.During his
observations,he noticed something extraordinary:the light from these galaxies was redshifted,a
phenomenon indicating they were moving away from us.Even more astonishing was the pattern he
discovered-the further a galaxy was,the faster it was moving back.This discovery directly
challenged the popular belief that all heavenly bodies (in the universe remain in the same
position,which was widely accepted by the scientific community at that time.
At first,Hubble himself was doubtful.The idea that the universe was expanding was almost
unthinkable.He carefully checked and rechecked his data,aware that such a significant shift in
understanding required the maximum scrutiny.This moment of doubt is a perfect example of the
power of being wrong.It shows how questioning and checking our beliefs can lead to profound
insights.
After extensive analysis,Hubble confirmed his findings and drew up what we now know as
Hubble's Law:the observation that galaxies are moving away from us at speeds proportional
to their distance.This revolutionary concept indicated that the universe was expanding,
fundamentally changing the field of astronomy and laying the groundwork for the Big Bang theory.
Hubble's story is not just about a scientific breakthrough;it's about the courage to accept that
his initial belief was incorrect and to accept the new evidence before him.This willingness to
change his mind led to a deeper understanding of the universe and solidified his legacy as a
pioneering scientist.
第3页(共8页)②
24.What belief did Hubble's new discovery challenge?
A.How the massive galaxies took shape.
B.A motionless universe.
C.How the universe came into existence.
D.An expanding universe.
25.What does the underlined word "scrutiny"mean in paragraph 3?
A.Spread.
B.Protection.
C.Inspection.
D.Transformation.
26.What message does Hubble's story mainly convey?
A.He who risks nothing gains nothing.
B.A bad workman always blames his tools
C.Early mistakes are the seeds of future trouble.
D.Acknowledging mistakes fuels better growth.
27.Which words can best describe Edwin Hubble?
A.Sensitive and optimistic.
B.Reserved and humble.
C.Generous and open-minded.
D.Cautious and courageous.

Army ants are commonly found in Africa,South America,and Central America.They are
known for being a massive army that can build a new path out of themselves when encountering
obstacles.
Scientists from Princeton University study the“living”bridges allowing the ant colony(蚁
)to travel efficiently.They focus on the collective intelligence exhibited by the species and how
this behavior can help develop robots that can cooperate as a group.
When army ants encounter obstacles such as a gap between leaves or branches,they will
connect themselves across that gap while others walk on top of them.However,building the living
bridges comes at a cost to the ant colony because the ants that take part in supporting the bridge
are not available to hunt.
Using their tiny brains,the ants can weigh the costs and benefits of a bridge.In studying the
decision-making ability of the ants,the researchers discovered that the ants build bridges where
they get the most significant benefit for the least amount of bodies.They identified a sweet spot where
the gap is large enough to justify building a bridge but not so large that it will take too many ants.
The collective intelligence of army ants demonstrates how individual-level interactions can
produce coordinated (group behavior.By extracting the rules used by individual army
ants in building living bridges,engineers can program a group of simple robots to create structures
that are connected.Such systems can exhibit the beneficial properties observed in ant bridges,
like real-time optimization (of position and shape,adaptability to local conditions,and
rapid construction and deconstruction without needing external building materials.
For a long time,it has been a challenge in robotics to take robot parts and allow the robot to
piece itself together and solve more significant problems.According to engineering professor David
Hu from the Georgia Institute of Technology,army ants are proof that such a kind of robot can
survive and have problems to solve in the real world.
28.Why do scientists study the behavior of army ants?
A.The ants often take collective action.
B.It brings insights for building robots.
C.It is different from that of other animals.
D.The ants travel more efficiently than humans.
29.What can we infer about army ants from paragraph 4?
A.They can weigh what they get.
B.They form a bridge over any gap.
C.They are cooperative creatures.
D.They often share their decisions.

30.What is a distinct feature of the ant bridge?
A.Low stability.
B.Single structure.
C.Strong dependence.
D.High adaptability.
31.What is the challenge that robots face according to the text?
A.Working in an unpredictable environment.B.Working side by side with humans.
C.Developing autonomous integrating ability.
D).Increasing the flexibility of robotic arms.

The term "brain rot"was popularized by Generation Z to describe the mental fog and
cognitive decline linked to endless scrolling ()Experts have now warned that this habit,
which we often dismiss as"just watching vidcos",is actually changing how our brains work.They
are dulling our focus,weakening memory and even destroying decision-making.
Researchers conducted a study that examined the neurological(神经学的)effects of short-
video addiction.They used a combination of behavioral analysis,brain imaging and computational
models of decision-making.The study looked at how extreme engagement with short videos might
influence the way our brains process rewards,risks and choices.
One way being addicted to short video consumption affects you is by hurting your "loss
aversion".This is the tendency to feel the pain of losing something more strongly than the pleasure
of gaining something of equal value.In decision-making,this comparison act makes you think
twice before making choices that could lead to negative outcomes.However,if the sensitivity to
loss is reduced,you're more likely to make emotional or risky decisions without fully considering
the consequences.
In the study,researchers found that the more addicted someone was to short videos,the less
sensitive they were to potential losses.This impacted their decision-making,which became more
reward-driven,even when risks were high.
Brain scans from the study revealed that people with higher short-video addiction had lower
activity in a part of the brain called the“precuneus”(楔前叶)when thinking about potential
gains.This part helps you reflect and consider outcomes by thinking things through.The brain may
not fully process what's at risk when this part is less active.This holds true especially when
something is exciting to gain.This,in turn,makes it easier to ignore the risks.
Essentially,if loss stops feeling like a big deal,your decision-making becomes high-risk.
So,the next time you're deep into the screen,ask yourself:Are you really willing to train your
brain to chase rewards at the cost of good judgment?
32.How is the study conducted?
A.By investigating typical cases.
B.By reviewing the previous studies.
C.By examining large-scale videos.
D.By analyzing with various methods.
33.What can we learn about those who were less sensitive to losses?
A.They were more sensitive to potential risks.
B.They were less likely to make wise choices.
C.They showed little interest in getting rewards
D.They preferred gains that were small but certain.
34.What does the author intend to show by referring to the "precuneus"?
A.Its impact on our physical health.
B.The process of decision-making.
C.Its relation with considering risks
D.The connection of different risks.
35.What does the text mainly discuss?
A.How short-video addiction affects our brain.
B.What is the proper way of training our brain.
C.How to stay away from short-video addiction.
D.Why the term“brain rot”has become popular.

amount of coffee you're drinking,or if you don't like coffee at all,there are easy and healthy
habits that can help kcep you energized.

feel more energized.Experts think that this may have to do with nature's impact on decreasing
stress responses.

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。
One sunny morning,my family set out on a road trip to a beautiful coastal town a few hours
away.The scenic route was decorated with green landscapes,winding rivers,and charming
villages that seemed frozen in time.As the car drove along the highway,I watched the world
outside my window transform into a breathtaking picture of nature's beauty.
We finally reached our destination-a small beach town famous for its golden sands and
crystal-clear waters.The salty wind carried the promise of a day filled with sun,surf,and
exploration.My excitement knew no bounds as I rushed to the beach,leaving a trail of footprints
in the sand.Suddenly,my attention was drawn to a figure in the distance.A young boy,about my
age,was sitting alone near the shoreline,gazing(擬a视),out at the sea.Something about his
behavior aroused my curiosity,and I decided to approach him.As I drew nearer,I noticed that he
had a physical disability,one that made it challenging for him to move freely.
We started a conversation,and his name was Alex.He had a warm smile and a boundless
enthusiasm for life.Despite his physical limitations,he was overflowing with a sense of joy and
gratitude that was both humbling and inspiring.
As we talked,Alex shared his dream of feeling the ocean's embrace-not just from the
shore,but while floating freely in the water."I can get to the edge,"he said,pointing toward the
gentle waves,"but going further alone is...difficult."His eyes held no self-pity,only a quiet
desire..An idea suddenly occurred to me.“What if,”I suggested,“we could find a way?”
What followed was a series of actions.I asked my parents for help,and they immediately
agreed to my idea.Together we located a beach wheelchair with large,buoyant tires(浮力轮胎).

Alex's face lit up with disbelief as we rolled it toward him.
