At 16, Benjamin Davis, a sophomore at Bishop Feehan High School in Massachusetts, has invented a revolutionary desktop system that recycles plastic bottles and 3D printing waste into high-quality 3D printing filament (塑料丝). His groundbreaking work won him first place at the 2025 International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the $75,000 Regeneron Young Scientist Award, bringing him widespread recognition and increasing attention from scientific communities around the world.
Benjamin’s inspiration struck when he noticed massive amounts of plastic waste piling up in his school’s art room. As he watched these useless materials being thrown away each day, he felt deeply concerned about the growing environmental damage caused by plastic pollution. Determined to find a practical solution, he began to research ways to change waste into valuable resources. Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine.
His device can shred plastic waste, melt it, and form it into smooth and consistent 3D printing filament in a single continuous process. Compared with traditional industrial recycling machines, his design uses 70% less energy and produces materials of higher quality. Schools and creative spaces across the globe have already expressed strong interest in his invention, and several institutions have requested detailed prototypes for further testing.
At first, few were quick to credit someone of his age with the ability to tackle such a complex technical undertaking. Teachers and peers questioned whether his small machine could work steadily and meet real-world standards. However, Benjamin never lost confidence. He tested more than 50 versions, stayed up late making improvements, and carefully recorded each result until his device performed perfectly.
Benjamin now plans to study mechanical engineering at MIT. He hopes his experience will encourage more young people to care about the environment and take practical action to solve real problems.

When people first see the flower headdresses of Quanzhou, they may wonder at how pretty and appealing they are. In the city’s old streets and Xunpu’s narrow lanes, bright flowers adorn (装饰) local women and girls, lighting up ordinary daily life and making it vivid and unforgettable. Still, viewing this tradition merely as decoration overlooks something deeper, for these flowers carry memories, emotions and a unique attitude towards the world.
The custom of wearing flowers in the hair has deep roots in Chinese culture. It appears in classical art, including Tang Dynasty paintings in which women adorn themselves with flowers. What makes Quanzhou exceptional is that this floral fondness did not remain inside paintings, or belong only to the wealthy. In Xunpu, a coastal fishing village of Quanzhou, the tradition has been preserved by ordinary sea-dependent women. There, flowers were not distant symbols of elegance. They became part of daily life.
For the women of Xunpu, flowers were closely linked with the hope for happiness and good fortune. Elders place them on young girls before they go out, as if beauty itself might invite joyful things into life. They are worn at festivals, weddings and other vital occasions, embodying invisible wishes for joy amid life’s uncertainties.
That wish becomes more moving when we remember what kind of lives these women lived. Xunpu women led tough, laborious lives, fishing, farming oysters, gathering seafood, running households and supporting families. Against such a background, the flower headdress seems almost unexpected. Yet perhaps that is exactly why it matters. They did not choose flowers because life was easy. Rather than escaping reality, the flowers helped them endure hardships, responding to life’s struggles with gentle, lasting grace.
8. What may people feel at the first sight of the flower headdresses of Quanzhou?
A. Significance. B. Beauty. C. History. D. Harmony.
9. Why did Xunpu women choose to wear flowers?
A. Because they wanted to escape from reality.
B. Because the tradition can date from Tang Dynasty.
C. Because flowers could deny difficulties completely.
D. Because flowers served as strength to answer hardship.
10. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By making comparisons. B. By going with the timeline.
C. By stating opinions and demonstrating. D. By following the spatial order.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Xunpu women live a bittersweet life.
B. Flowers have deep meaning for Xunpu women.
C. People in Xunpu are extremely fond of flowers.
D. Flowers in Xunpu can be attractive headdresses.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要围绕泉州簪花展开,阐述了泉州簪花的美丽外观,其在中国文化中的根源,重点讲述了蟳埔女性簪花头饰的深层意义,即花朵承载着她们对幸福好运的希望,帮助她们在艰苦生活中坚韧地面对困难。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When people first see the flower headdresses of Quanzhou, they may wonder at how pretty and appealing they are. (当人们第一次看到泉州的簪花时,他们可能会惊叹于它们是多么的漂亮和吸引人。)”可知,人们第一次看到泉州簪花时,可能会惊叹于它们的美丽。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Rather than escaping reality, the flowers helped them endure hardships, responding to life’s struggles with gentle, lasting grace. (花朵并没有让他们逃避现实,而是帮助他们忍受困难,以温柔、持久的优雅回应生活的挣扎。)”可知,蟳埔女性选择簪花是因为花朵成为她们应对困难的力量。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。文章开篇指出人们看到泉州簪花会觉得漂亮吸引人,接着表明这一传统不仅仅是装饰,有更深内涵。随后阐述簪花传统在中国文化中有深厚根源,又重点说明花对于蟳埔女承载着对幸福好运的希望、美好祝愿等,最后说明在蟳埔女艰苦生活中花的重要意义,是先提出观点再通过多方面内容进行论证说明,即通过陈述观点并论证来展开的。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Still, viewing this tradition merely as decoration overlooks something deeper, for these flowers carry memories, emotions and a unique attitude towards the world. (然而,仅仅将这一传统视为装饰,却忽略了更深层次的东西,因为这些花承载着记忆、情感和对世界的独特态度。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了花朵对蟳埔女性有着深刻的意义。故选B项。

New research suggests your body may sing a different tune with the calorie consumption in your workouts — helping explain why weight loss is often “humbler” than anticipated.
The logic feels airtight: Move more, burn more, weigh less, which is generally believed by most people. But for many people, calorie consumption and weight loss are not merely a simple matter of math.
In controlled studies, exercise often results in less weight loss than calorie models predict. Even when people add aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, and cycling, most lose an average of 3.5 pounds over six months. It’s a modest return for a significant investment of time and effort, long puzzling researchers.
Part of the answer may be familiar: working out can make you hungrier, making it easier to eat back the calories burned. But experts are also trying to understand a more counterintuitive key mechanism.
A 2025 analysis suggested people only burned about a third of the extra calories their workouts theoretically demanded. In other words, a run that should have burned 500 calories, only added around 165 calories consumption to the daily budget. The body seems to compensate for increased physical activity by reducing energy spent elsewhere — but the extent to which it does this, and how, is “still a mystery,” says Vincent Careau, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Ottawa.
This fresh idea, known as energy compensation, is reshaping a long-held assumption at the heart of fitness culture: that exercise is a straightforward engine for weight loss. Instead, researchers are finding it may be far more effective at something else — helping the body maintain its weight and achieve lasting health.
So while you might not drop pounds as fast as the calorie counter promises, every step, jog, and pedal still works deep beneath the surface: strengthening your heart, stabilizing your metabolism, and protecting your body from chronic diseases. The scale (体重秤) may not always reward your effort, but your health certainly does in the long run.
12. What’s the author’s attitude to the common belief on calorie consumption and weight loss?
A. Supportive. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Appreciative.
13. Which word can replace the underlined word “counterintuitive” in paragraph 4?
A. Hidden. B. Ordinary. C. Unreliable. D. Suspectable.
14. How does the “energy compensation” function?
A. By speeding up the process of weight loss.
B. By making people eat more after exercising.
C. By reducing calorie consumption beyond exercise.
D. By helping people burn more calories in workouts.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Weight loss is a difficult goal to achieve.
B. Chronic diseases can be cured via exercise.
C. The scale can’t tell your effort to lose weight.
D. Health bonus accompanies the exercise for weight loss.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕运动与热量消耗、减重的关系展开,打破大众普遍认同的“多动就会多燃脂、快速减重” 的固有认知,介绍人体能量补偿机制,解释运动减重效果不达预期的原因,并指出运动对长期健康的深层价值。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The logic feels airtight: Move more, burn more, weigh less, which is generally believed by most people. But for many people, calorie consumption and weight loss are not merely a simple matter of math.(这个逻辑看似无懈可击:动得越多、消耗热量越多、体重越轻,这是大多数人的普遍认知。但对很多人来说,热量消耗与减重并非简单的数学问题。)”可知,作者对大众的固有观点持质疑态度。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Part of the answer may be familiar: working out can make you hungrier, making it easier to eat back the calories burned.(部分答案或许大家并不陌生:锻炼会让你感到更加饥饿,从而更容易将消耗的卡路里“吃”回去。)”提到运动后饥饿感变强是大家熟知的原因,本句“But experts are also trying to understand a more counterintuitive key mechanism.(但专家也在研究一种更为counterintuitive核心机制。)”形成对比,可判断该词含义为隐蔽的、不易察觉的。hidden (隐蔽的) 贴合语境。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The body seems to compensate for increased physical activity by reducing energy spent elsewhere.(人体似乎会通过减少其他方面的能量消耗,来补偿运动带来的活动量增加。)”可知,能量补偿机制会降低运动以外的热量消耗。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So while you might not drop pounds as fast as the calorie counter promises, every step, jog, and pedal still works deep beneath the surface: strengthening your heart, stabilizing your metabolism, and protecting your body from chronic diseases.(所以,尽管你可能不会像卡路里计数器所预测的那样迅速减重,但每一步、每一次慢跑以及每一次踩踏,其效果仍能在深层发挥作用:增强心脏功能、稳定新陈代谢,并保护身体免受慢性疾病的侵害。)”可知,即便运动减重效果有限,也能带来诸多健康益处。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Psychologists have long studied happiness, optimism and other human strengths, but positive psychology only officially became a psychology branch in 1998, when Martin Seligman was elected president of the American Psychological Association (APA). ____16____ While this had yielded valuable treatments that enabled psychologists to treat many pathologies and dysfunctions (机能障碍), reducing people’s unhappiness, it meant that psychology was neglecting what was good about life — and what the average person could improve.
Seligman advocated researching factors bringing positivity and fulfillment to normal people’s lives, proposing targeted interventions to boost people’s happiness. He held that psychology should be just as concerned with nurturing goodness in life as it was with healing the bad. ____17____
Seligman set positive psychology as the theme of his APA presidential term and promoted it with his visibility. From there the field took off. ____18____ Since then, positive psychology has kept gaining popularity. It has seen massive academic outputs, attracted numerous attendees to the World Congress of Positive Psychology, and even witnessed a huge enrollment number for Yale’s happiness-related course.
____19____ Many other famous researchers have also made great contributions to this field. They include Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Barbara Fredrickson, Daniel Gilbert, Albert Bandura, Carol Dweck and Roy Baumeister and so on.
Nowadays, positive psychology is often integrated with self-help movements like positive thinking. ____20____ Therefore, it strictly adopts scientific research methods to explore what helps humans thrive. It never intends to abandon the study of human troubles, but only complements the field with researches on life’s positives.
A. From these ideas positive psychology was born.
B. Research findings have come out of the subfield.
C. Seligman is the core figure linked to positive psychology.
D. It soon drew wide attention from the academic community.
E. However, like all of psychology, positive psychology is a science.
F. Seligman held that psychology had become too focused on mental illness.
G. Finally, some have suggested that positive psychology is limited by cultural bias.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. D 19. C 20. E
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了积极心理学的起源、发展、主要人物及其特点。
【16题详解】
上文“Psychologists have long studied happiness, optimism and other human strengths, but positive psychology only officially became a psychology branch in 1998, when Martin Seligman was elected president of the American Psychological Association (APA).(心理学家长期以来一直在研究幸福、乐观和其他人类优势,但积极心理学直到1998年才正式成为心理学分支,当时马丁·塞利格曼当选为美国心理协会(APA)主席)”说明积极心理学正式成为心理学分支的时间和背景,下文“While this had yielded valuable treatments that enabled psychologists to treat many pathologies and dysfunctions (机能障碍), reducing people’ s unhappiness, it meant that psychology was neglecting what was good about life — and what the average person could improve.(虽然这已经产生了有价值的治疗方法,使心理学家能够治疗许多疾病和功能障碍,减少人们的不快乐,但这意味着心理学忽视了生活的好处——以及普通人可以改善的地方)”说明心理学之前过于关注心理疾病而忽略了生活中的美好。空处承接前文积极心理学诞生前的心理学现状,引出下文旧心理学的弊端。所以F项“塞利格曼认为心理学过于关注心理疾病”符合语境。
【17题详解】
上文“He held that psychology should be just as concerned with nurturing goodness in life as it was with healing the bad.(他认为,心理学应该像治疗治疗负面问题一样关注培养生活中的善良)”说明塞利格曼认为心理学应该关注生活中的美好,空处承接其理念,总结积极心理学的诞生,所以A项“从这些观点中,积极心理学诞生了”符合语境。
【18题详解】
上文“Seligman set positive psychology as the theme of his APA presidential term and promoted it with his visibility. From there the field took off.(塞利格曼将积极心理学定为自己在美国心理学会(APA)主席任期的核心主题,并凭借自身影响力大力推广。自此,这一领域迅速崛起。)”说明塞利格曼推广积极心理学后,这个领域开始发展,下文“Since then, positive psychology has kept gaining popularity.(从那时起,积极心理学就越来越受欢迎)”说明积极心理学越来越受欢迎。空处承上启下,衔接学科起步与火爆发展的过程。所以D项“它很快引起了学术界的广泛关注”符合语境。
【19题详解】
下文“Many other famous researchers have also made great contributions to this field.(许多其他著名的研究人员也在这一领域做出了巨大贡献)”说明许多其他著名研究人员也对这个领域做出了巨大贡献,空处作为段落主题句,应引出塞利格曼在积极心理学中的核心地位,所以C项“塞利格曼是与积极心理学相关的核心人物”符合语境。
【20题详解】
上文“Nowadays, positive psychology is often integrated with self-help movements like positive thinking.(如今,积极心理学经常与积极思考等自助运动相结合)”说明积极心理学与自助运动相结合,下文“Therefore, it strictly adopts scientific research methods to explore what helps humans thrive.(因此,它严格采用科学研究方法来探索什么有助于人类茁壮成长)”说明积极心理学采用科学研究方法。空处形成转折,区分通俗自助运动与专业心理学。所以E项“然而,像所有心理学一样,积极心理学是一门科学”符合语境。

Dear students,
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you!
【答案】Dear students,
I’m Li Hua. Our school recently conducted a survey on students’ participation in housework. The data shows only 12.2% often do housework, and 20.5% do occasionally, while 50.1% rarely and 17.2% never, which reflects that middle school students are lowly involved in housework.
There are two main reasons accounting for this. On one hand, heavy schoolwork leaves little time for students to do housework. On the other hand, some parents are overprotective and do almost all chores for their kids, making them lack responsibility.
Dear friends, housework is a chance to show love and build independence. Let’s start with small tasks to share housework. Every effort counts!
Thank you!

47. 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。
I was promoted as the sales manager of my company, which was a significant event for our family so it deserved a party to celebrate. Our family spent a whole morning decorating the house and making delicious food.
When my sister arrived with her kid Fred, I was happy. However, she also brought along with one of Fred’s favorite toys — a rather loud toy drum. He would play it at every opportunity. Because Fred was on the autism (自闭症), he often felt tight at social events and was eager to keep his favorite things close. I knew this of course, but the drum was just too noisy. I was afraid that the party would be messed up for everyone might suffer a headache.
With more guests arriving, I asked my sister whether Fred could play with something quieter. She seemed a bit surprised but agreed, putting away the drum in a corner. Fred was unhappy and my sister spent most of the afternoon comforting him. I noticed they both were growing gradually uneasy, but I had to be busy being a host to everyone.
Before the party was over, my sister left with Fred, but I still didn’t think it was a big deal.
Days later, I sent a message to my sister and said they should come again. Her reply wasn’t a pleased one: “Are you joking? Forget it.” Obviously, she was upset about what had happened, but I thought she would eventually overcome it.
Then a month went by. My wife reminded me to contact my sister. I refused, thinking she could offer to take the step first. However, I felt guilty inside. I tried to start empathizing (共情) with my sister and realized things were difficult with Fred and she had to care for him alone since her husband had left them two years before.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I came to realize it was me who should say sorry.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With the gift I chose for Fred, I arrived at my sister’s door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I came to realize it was me who should say sorry. I had only cared about my own celebration and the comfort of other guests, completely ignoring Fred’s special needs and my sister’s feelings. For Fred, the drum was not just a toy but a source of security, especially in unfamiliar social situations. My sister had already been struggling to raise Fred alone, and my thoughtless request had only added to her pressure. I decided to make an apology sincerely and bought a soft, sound-making stuffed bear that Fred might like, hoping to make up for my mistake.
With the gift I chose for Fred, I arrived at my sister’s door. Nervous but determined, I knocked gently. When she opened the door, I immediately apologized for my selfishness at the party. I told her I truly understood how hard it was for her and Fred. Hearing my words, her anger softened. Fred held the bear tightly and smiled shyly. My sister thanked me, and the uncomfortable gap between us finally disappeared. That day, I learned that true kindness means understanding and respecting others’ differences.

At 16, Benjamin Davis, a sophomore at Bishop Feehan High School in Massachusetts, has invented a revolutionary desktop system that recycles plastic bottles and 3D printing waste into high-quality 3D printing filament (塑料丝). His groundbreaking work won him first place at the 2025 International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the $75,000 Regeneron Young Scientist Award, bringing him widespread recognition and increasing attention from scientific communities around the world.
Benjamin’s inspiration struck when he noticed massive amounts of plastic waste piling up in his school’s art room. As he watched these useless materials being thrown away each day, he felt deeply concerned about the growing environmental damage caused by plastic pollution. Determined to find a practical solution, he began to research ways to change waste into valuable resources. Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine.
His device can shred plastic waste, melt it, and form it into smooth and consistent 3D printing filament in a single continuous process. Compared with traditional industrial recycling machines, his design uses 70% less energy and produces materials of higher quality. Schools and creative spaces across the globe have already expressed strong interest in his invention, and several institutions have requested detailed prototypes for further testing.
At first, few were quick to credit someone of his age with the ability to tackle such a complex technical undertaking. Teachers and peers questioned whether his small machine could work steadily and meet real-world standards. However, Benjamin never lost confidence. He tested more than 50 versions, stayed up late making improvements, and carefully recorded each result until his device performed perfectly.
Benjamin now plans to study mechanical engineering at MIT. He hopes his experience will encourage more young people to care about the environment and take practical action to solve real problems.
4. What inspired Benjamin to create the recycling machine?
A. His enthusiasm for machinery.
B. A grand award from a competition.
C. The global recognition and attention.
D. The plastic waste problem in his school.
5. What is an advantage of Benjamin’s machine according to the text?
A. It’s user-friendly. B. It’s cost-effective.
C. It’s energy-efficient. D. It’s high-productive.
6. Which words can best describe Benjamin Davis?
A. Creative and committed. B. Kind and responsible.
C. Hard-working and humble. D. Insistent and generous.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Student’s MIT Dream. B. The Development of 3D Printing.
C. The Future Belonging to the Young. D. A Teen Turning Waste into Treasure.

When people first see the flower headdresses of Quanzhou, they may wonder at how pretty and appealing they are. In the city’s old streets and Xunpu’s narrow lanes, bright flowers adorn (装饰) local women and girls, lighting up ordinary daily life and making it vivid and unforgettable. Still, viewing this tradition merely as decoration overlooks something deeper, for these flowers carry memories, emotions and a unique attitude towards the world.
The custom of wearing flowers in the hair has deep roots in Chinese culture. It appears in classical art, including Tang Dynasty paintings in which women adorn themselves with flowers. What makes Quanzhou exceptional is that this floral fondness did not remain inside paintings, or belong only to the wealthy. In Xunpu, a coastal fishing village of Quanzhou, the tradition has been preserved by ordinary sea-dependent women. There, flowers were not distant symbols of elegance. They became part of daily life.
For the women of Xunpu, flowers were closely linked with the hope for happiness and good fortune. Elders place them on young girls before they go out, as if beauty itself might invite joyful things into life. They are worn at festivals, weddings and other vital occasions, embodying invisible wishes for joy amid life’s uncertainties.
That wish becomes more moving when we remember what kind of lives these women lived. Xunpu women led tough, laborious lives, fishing, farming oysters, gathering seafood, running households and supporting families. Against such a background, the flower headdress seems almost unexpected. Yet perhaps that is exactly why it matters. They did not choose flowers because life was easy. Rather than escaping reality, the flowers helped them endure hardships, responding to life’s struggles with gentle, lasting grace.
8. What may people feel at the first sight of the flower headdresses of Quanzhou?
A. Significance. B. Beauty. C. History. D. Harmony.
9. Why did Xunpu women choose to wear flowers?
A. Because they wanted to escape from reality.
B. Because the tradition can date from Tang Dynasty.
C. Because flowers could deny difficulties completely.
D. Because flowers served as strength to answer hardship.
10. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By making comparisons. B. By going with the timeline.
C. By stating opinions and demonstrating. D. By following the spatial order.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Xunpu women live a bittersweet life.
B. Flowers have deep meaning for Xunpu women.
C. People in Xunpu are extremely fond of flowers.
D. Flowers in Xunpu can be attractive headdresses.
D
New research suggests your body may sing a different tune with the calorie consumption in your workouts — helping explain why weight loss is often “humbler” than anticipated.
The logic feels airtight: Move more, burn more, weigh less, which is generally believed by most people. But for many people, calorie consumption and weight loss are not merely a simple matter of math.
In controlled studies, exercise often results in less weight loss than calorie models predict. Even when people add aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, and cycling, most lose an average of 3.5 pounds over six months. It’s a modest return for a significant investment of time and effort, long puzzling researchers.
Part of the answer may be familiar: working out can make you hungrier, making it easier to eat back the calories burned. But experts are also trying to understand a more counterintuitive key mechanism.
A 2025 analysis suggested people only burned about a third of the extra calories their workouts theoretically demanded. In other words, a run that should have burned 500 calories, only added around 165 calories consumption to the daily budget. The body seems to compensate for increased physical activity by reducing energy spent elsewhere — but the extent to which it does this, and how, is “still a mystery,” says Vincent Careau, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Ottawa.
This fresh idea, known as energy compensation, is reshaping a long-held assumption at the heart of fitness culture: that exercise is a straightforward engine for weight loss. Instead, researchers are finding it may be far more effective at something else — helping the body maintain its weight and achieve lasting health.
So while you might not drop pounds as fast as the calorie counter promises, every step, jog, and pedal still works deep beneath the surface: strengthening your heart, stabilizing your metabolism, and protecting your body from chronic diseases. The scale (体重秤) may not always reward your effort, but your health certainly does in the long run.
12. What’s the author’s attitude to the common belief on calorie consumption and weight loss?
A. Supportive. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Appreciative.
13. Which word can replace the underlined word “counterintuitive” in paragraph 4?
A. Hidden. B. Ordinary. C. Unreliable. D. Suspectable.
14. How does the “energy compensation” function?
A. By speeding up the process of weight loss.
B. By making people eat more after exercising.
C. By reducing calorie consumption beyond exercise.
D. By helping people burn more calories in workouts.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Weight loss is a difficult goal to achieve.
B. Chronic diseases can be cured via exercise.
C. The scale can’t tell your effort to lose weight.
D. Health bonus accompanies the exercise for weight loss.

I was promoted as the sales manager of my company, which was a significant event for our family so it deserved a party to celebrate. Our family spent a whole morning decorating the house and making delicious food.
When my sister arrived with her kid Fred, I was happy. However, she also brought along with one of Fred’s favorite toys — a rather loud toy drum. He would play it at every opportunity. Because Fred was on the autism (自闭症), he often felt tight at social events and was eager to keep his favorite things close. I knew this of course, but the drum was just too noisy. I was afraid that the party would be messed up for everyone might suffer a headache.
With more guests arriving, I asked my sister whether Fred could play with something quieter. She seemed a bit surprised but agreed, putting away the drum in a corner. Fred was unhappy and my sister spent most of the afternoon comforting him. I noticed they both were growing gradually uneasy, but I had to be busy being a host to everyone.
Before the party was over, my sister left with Fred, but I still didn’t think it was a big deal.
Days later, I sent a message to my sister and said they should come again. Her reply wasn’t a pleased one: “Are you joking? Forget it.” Obviously, she was upset about what had happened, but I thought she would eventually overcome it.
Then a month went by. My wife reminded me to contact my sister. I refused, thinking she could offer to take the step first. However, I felt guilty inside. I tried to start empathizing (共情) with my sister and realized things were difficult with Fred and she had to care for him alone since her husband had left them two years before.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

I came to realize it was me who should say sorry.
