It serves as a special channel for us to show our individuality and enthusiasm for anime. Nevertheless, we must not overstep the mark. We should have an open-minded and sincere conversation with our parents, sharing our thoughts and trying to gain their understanding. Also, it’s vital to strike a balance between our schoolwork and this hobby. By no means should our academic performance be undermined.

It is a funny-looking monster with big eyes, sharp teeth and messy hair. It always wants to help but often accidentally achieves the opposite. Inspired (启发) by fairy tales and children’s wild imagination, artist Kasing Lung from Hong Kong, China created such an elf-like (像精灵的) character in his book series The Monsters in 2015, along with other monster characters to life as dolls. Labubu became popular around the world in late 2024 and early 2025. Now it is not only a fictional character but also refers to the whole series, including different characters from its planet, such as Zimomo, Tycoco, and Mokoko. Some of these dolls look similar and are hard to tell apart, but collectors know the difference. The dolls are mainly sold in blind boxes, so you won’t know which one you’ll get, making it a surprise. Both kids and adults have fallen in love with Labubu. In Tokyo, its creative designs inspire young artists. In Bangkok, it has become a symbol of cultural exchange. Across the ocean in New York, fans share their collections and artworks online actively. “Labubu reminds me of childhood creatively,” says one of the Labubu fans. “Now my friends and I even design our own monster characters?” Labubu’s success shows how creativity connects people worldwide. Though the fun of opening blind boxes brings great pleasure it’s important to enjoy them wisely and avoid overspending or compulsive (强制的) collecting. After all, the real value lies in admiring the art, not just collecting. 1．Who created the character Labubu? A．A toy company. B．Kasing Lung. C．Labubu fans. D．Online artists. 2．Why is buying a Labubu doll described as “a surprise”? A．Because the dolls are really well-made. B．Because the boxes of the dolls are different. C．Because all dolls from the series are beautiful. D．Because buyers don’t know which doll is inside the box. 3．What can we infer from the examples of Tokyo, Bangkok, and New York? A．Labubu is only popular in Asia. B．Labubu has become less popular over time. C．Labubu is mainly used for educational purposes. D．Labubu has influenced people in different ways around the world. 4．What is the right order of the following facts from the passage? ①Labubu was created in a book series. ②Labubu dolls are sold in blind boxes. ③Labubu became popular around the world. ④Labubu inspired fans to design their own characters.

In Bangkok, it has become a symbol of cultural exchange. Across the ocean in New York, fans share their collections and artworks online actively.”可知，在东京，Labubu的创意设计激发了年轻艺术家的灵感。在曼谷，它已成为文化交流的象征。在大洋彼岸的纽约，粉丝们正通过网络平台积极分享自己的收藏品和艺术作品。Labubu以不同的方式影响了世界各地的人。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据全文可知，下列事实的正确顺序是：①Labubu在系列丛书中被创作；②Labubu娃娃以盲盒形式销售；③Labubu在世界各地广受欢迎；④Labubu激发粉丝们设计专属角色。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇介绍了怪物Labubu的外貌和特点，接着讲述了艺术家Kasing Lung创造Labubu的过程，然后说明了Labubu娃娃的销售方式以及它在世界各地受欢迎的情况，最后提到Labubu激励粉丝设计自己的角色，强调了创造力将世界各地的人们联系在一起。即“创造力如何连接世界各地的人们。”故选C。 B Just as the saying goes, “Life is like a box of (different) chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” Not only is life like that, but so are the blind boxes from the Henan Museum. The museum catches visitors’ eyes with many kinds of archaeological (考古的) blind boxes. These blind boxes are popular because visitors can find replicas of cultural relics (文物复制品) by themselves. If you want an archaeological blind box, you just need to spend about 60 yuan on it. Then you can dig and find your own treasure. The mystery boxes come in different sizes and shapes. Some are small and some are big. The museum’s first blind boxes sold out very soon because many people were interested in them. And many visitors asked the museum to produce more. However, the museum in Henan is not the only museum to sell archaeological blind boxes in China. The Shaanxi History Museum in Xi’an has made its own blind box models. And the blind boxes from the Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan are popular with people too. Shanghai Museum also plans to do so.

The idea is simple: the buyers will not know which toy it is until they open the boxes, so it’s a bit like gambling (赌博). You may feel happy if you get the things you want, but more often, you can’t get what you like. People spend lots of money on their luck. Pop Mart is a famous company (公司). But it began as a small shop in Beijing’s Zhongguancun area. At first, it sold different kinds of products. Later, the company found that toys were the most popular and best-selling products. They thought selling toys might be the best way. The idea for blind boxes was from Gashapon (扭蛋机) in Japan, which sells blind toys. Each toy inside Pop Mart’s blind boxes costs only about 2 dollars, but they sell for around 8 dollars each. This brings the company a lot of money. Pop Mart had around 6.3 billion yuan in revenue (收入) in the year of 2023, 1.7 billion yuan more than that in 2022. Nowadays, young people really like this kind of toy. Some buyers have collected over 1,000 dolls. In their eyes, the dolls are symbols of their personalities, or they just want to share something cute. Some toys are hard to get, so people sell them at higher prices in the second-hand markets. Some countries make rules to manage the selling of blind boxes, and they work out well. These rules help to stop over-marketing and protect buyers, especially kids, from buying things without thinking and being cheated. To keep growing, Pop Mart needs to keep making something new and sell more toys. Labubu was a big success. The founder wishes that Pop Mart can be a world-famous company like Disney one day. 10．Why are blind boxes so popular in China? A．Because they are very cheap toys for everyone. B．Because they are the best-selling products in all shops. C．Because people always get the toys they want from the boxes. D．Because buyers enjoy the feeling of not knowing what’s inside. 11．Which of the following can show the revenue of Pop Mart in 2022 and 2023? A． B． C． D． 12．Which sentence should go in the empty box in Paragraph 5? A．In fact, blind boxes are toys with no special things. B．However, the blind boxes are as hard to stop as gambling. C．Moreover, many young people think blind boxes are easy to collect. D．Therefore, Pop Mart plans to create more new characters in the future. 13．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．People can’t buy blind boxes outside Beijing. B．Pop Mart will surely become as famous as Disney in the future. C．Young people will stop buying blind boxes because of the price. D．Pop Mart needs to create more new things for its development. 【答案】10．D 11．A 12．B 13．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在中国非常流行的盲盒玩具，包括其起源、市场情况、消费者心理以及相关管理规定，同时探讨了泡泡玛特公司的发展现状和未来展望。 10．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The idea is simple: the buyers will not know which toy it is until they open the boxes, so it’s a bit like gambling (赌博). You may feel happy if you get the things you want, but more often, you can’t get what you like. People spend lots of money on their luck.”可知，盲盒之所以在中国如此受欢迎，是因为买家享受不知道里面是什么的感觉。故选D。 11．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Pop Mart had around 6.3 billion yuan in revenue (收入) in the year of 2023, 1.7 billion yuan more than that in 2022.”可知，泡泡玛特2023年的收入约为63亿元，比2022年多17亿元，因此2022年的收入为46亿元，呈现出上升趋势。故选A。 12．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Some toys are hard to get, so people sell them at higher prices in the second-hand markets. Some countries make rules to manage the selling of blind boxes, and they work out well. These rules help to stop over-marketing and protect buyers, especially kids, from buying things without thinking and being cheated.”可知，有些玩具很难得到，所以人们在二手市场上以更高的价格出售它们，一些国家制定规则来管理盲盒的销售，并且效果很好，这些规则有助于阻止过度营销，保护买家，尤其是儿童，不让他们不加思考地购买东西和被骗。由此可知，此处是在说盲盒存在的问题，B选项“然而，盲盒像赌博一样难以制止”符合语境。故选B。 13．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“To keep growing, Pop Mart needs to keep making something new and sell more toys.”可知，为了保持增长，泡泡玛特需要不断创造新东西并销售更多玩具，由此可推断，泡泡玛特需要创造更多新东西来促进其发展。故选D。 D ①In recent times, Labubu has taken the toy-loving world by storm, attracting countless fans with its unique charm. Claire Carrillo, a young woman from the Philippines, is among those attracted by Labubu. She loves Pop Mart’s cute toys, and she’s far from alone in this interest. Pop Mart’s 2024 report shows the company had over 530 stores globally and achieved revenue (收益)  of about 13 billion yuan in 2024. ②One big reason behind Pop Mart’s success is the “kidult” trend (成人儿童化趋势). Millennials (千禧一代 ) and Generation Z often enjoy hobbies that are associated with children, like collecting toys. Pop Mart has tapped into this trend by making products that connect with customers’ feelings. For example, Claire relates to the Crybaby series because she sees herself as a crybaby. Ashley Jane Lowa, a filmmaker from Singapore, collects Tirono and Nyota because they remind her of herself and her boyfriend. ③Another important part of Pop Mart’s success is its blind box culture. According to Pop Mart, the fun of blind boxes is that buyers never know which toy they will get, pushing people to buy more. ④The fun and surprise of blind boxes also add a little magic to daily life. They help build community relationships through sharing, trading and showing the toys. “This is important in a time when many people feel lonely because of so much time spent online,” said Erica Kanesaka, an assistant professor at Emory University. ⑤This feeling of connection and excitement is exactly what attracts Amanda Lee in Singapore. She enjoys opening Pop Mart’s blind boxes during lunchtime with her colleagues. “It’s just a fun little thing that we get to do together during our lunch breaks and it reduces some stress.” Lee told Time magazine. 14．What can we learn about Pop Mart from the passage? A．It has no stores in the Philippines. B．It pays little attention to customers’ feelings. C．It attracts lots of fans around the world. D．Its blind box culture reduces customers’ interests. 15．Why does Claire like the Crybaby series? A．Because it can reduce stress. B．Because she sees herself in it. C．Because it is the most popular series. D．Because it reminds her of her boyfriend. 16．What’s the main idea of Paragraph ④? A．How Pop Mart gets young people together. B．Why so many people like collecting toys. C．When Pop Mart started blind box culture. D．What people do with Pop Mart toys online. 17．What is the structure of this passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①②③④/⑤ C．①②③/④⑤ D．①/②/③④⑤ 【答案】14．C 15．B 16．A 17．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了泡泡玛特受到众多粉丝喜爱的原因，包括“成人儿童化趋势”、盲盒文化等，还提及了盲盒文化带来的积极影响。 14．第一段指出：“…Pop Mart’s 2024 report shows the company had over 530 stores globally and achieved revenue (收益) of about 13 billion yuan in 2024.”这直接说明泡泡玛特吸引了全球众多粉丝。 15．第二段说明原因：“For example, Claire relates to the Crybaby series because she sees herself as a crybaby.”，因此克莱尔喜欢Crybaby系列是因为她在其中看到了自己。 16．第四段说明主旨：“The fun and surprise of blind boxes also add a little magic to daily life. They help build community relationships through sharing, trading and showing the toys.”，说明本段主要讲泡泡玛特如何让年轻人聚在一起。 17．文章结构：第一段总起介绍泡泡玛特的火爆与成就；第二段阐述分论点1，分析成功的第一个原因——“kidult”（成人儿童化）趋势；第三、四、五段阐述分论点 2，分析成功的第二个原因（盲盒文化，包含趣味性、社群连接、案例佐证）。所以结构为①/②/③④⑤。 二、完形填空 Labubu has become one of the most popular toys among Chinese teenagers.

You may not yet own one, but you must have heard something about Labubu, the fluffy blind box toy that has gone viral in recent months. What makes them so exciting? It all comes down to the surprise they offer. Imagine this, you are holding a blind box, but you don’t know what’s inside. That sense of mini-adventure triggers your brain’s reward system, releasing dopamine—the same chemical that brings you joy and makes things like winning a game feel so good. Companies know how to make blind boxes irresistible. They use limited-edition releases, special themes, and popular characters (like Harry Potter or Ne Zha) to make each box feel unique. Plus, many blind boxes are part of a series, encouraging people to collect them all. For some, it’s about reliving childhood memories of exchanging cards or toy collections. For others, it’s the satisfaction of completing a set. Social media platforms like Rednote, Douyin and Weibo make blind boxes even more popular. Watching influencers or friends unbox them creates excitement and FOMO (fear of missing out). People love sharing their own unboxing experiences. The more people see others enjoying blind boxes, the more they want to try them too. While blind boxes are often seen as kids’ toys, adults love them too. Opening a blind box is a stress reliever for grown-ups—a small, happy surprise in a long working day. Indeed, blind boxes have become attractive to everyone, old and young. While blind boxes are fun, they also have their downsides. One major problem is waste—since buyers don’t know what’s inside, they often end up with duplicates, or figures they don’t want. Many of these unwanted toys get thrown away as plastic waste. For collectors, the excitement of opening a blind box can quickly turn into frustration when they keep getting the same common figures instead of the rare ones they hoped for. The blind box trend has also led to extreme behaviors. Limited-edition releases create a frenzy—like people camping outside stores overnight or pushing and shoving to grab boxes before they sell out. Even worse, resellers buy up popular blind boxes just to sell them later at crazy-high prices. A $15 toy might end up costing hundreds online. Blind boxes can be exciting, but it’s important to look at both sides of the coin. Before buying, ask yourself: Am I doing this for fun, or just because everyone else is? Collecting should be about joy, not stress or greed. Always keep blind boxes a fun hobby, instead of a toxic trend. 41．Are blind boxes everywhere? 42．According to the passage, why are blind boxes so exciting? 43．How do companies make blind boxes attractive? 44．When do collectors get frustrated with blind boxes? 45．Give the passage a title. 46．Do you think blind boxes are a good thing? Why or why not? Please give at least two reasons. 【答案】41．Yes, they are. 42．Because they offer a sense of surprise and adventure, which triggers the brain’s reward system and releases dopamine. 43．They use limited editions, special themes, popular characters, and series collections to make each box feel unique. 44．When they keep getting duplicates or common figures instead of the rare ones they want. 45．The Double-Edged Fun of Blind Boxes (或其他合理标题) 46．Good: They bring joy, relieve stress, and encourage social sharing. Bad: They create waste, encourage impulsive buying, and can lead to unhealthy behaviors like overspending or reselling at high prices. 【导语】本文主要讨论了盲盒的流行现象，包括其受欢迎的原因、公司如何吸引消费者、社交媒体对其流行的影响、盲盒的优缺点以及消费者应如何理性对待盲盒。 41．根据“Blind boxes are everywhere—from toy stores to social media.”可知，盲盒无处不在，从玩具店到社交媒体。故填Yes, they are. 42．根据“What makes them so exciting? It all comes down to the surprise they offer. Imagine this, you are holding a blind box, but you don’t know what’s inside. That sense of mini-adventure triggers your brain’s reward system, releasing dopamine—the same chemical that brings you joy and makes things like winning a game feel so good.”可知，盲盒之所以令人兴奋，是因为它们提供了一种惊喜和冒险的感觉，这种感觉触发了大脑的奖励系统，释放多巴胺。故填Because they offer a sense of surprise and adventure, which triggers the brain’s reward system and releases dopamine. 43．根据“Companies know how to make blind boxes irresistible. They use limited-edition releases, special themes, and popular characters (like Harry Potter or Ne Zha) to make each box feel unique. Plus, many blind boxes are part of a series, encouraging people to collect them all.”可知，公司通过限量版发行、特殊主题和流行角色（如哈利波特或哪吒）来使每个盲盒都感觉独特，此外，许多盲盒是系列的一部分，鼓励人们全部收集。故填They use limited editions, special themes, popular characters, and series collections to make each box feel unique. 44．根据“For collectors, the excitement of opening a blind box can quickly turn into frustration when they keep getting the same common figures instead of the rare ones they hoped for.”可知，当收藏者不断得到相同的普通玩偶，而不是他们想要的稀有玩偶时，他们就会感到沮丧。故填When they keep getting duplicates or common figures instead of the rare ones they want. 45．根据文章内容，本文主要讨论了盲盒的流行现象及其优缺点，故填The Double-Edged Fun of Blind Boxes (或其他合理标题)。 46．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。例如，认为盲盒是好的，可以说“它们带来快乐，缓解压力，并鼓励社交分享”；认为盲盒不好，可以说“它们造成浪费，鼓励冲动购买，并可能导致不健康的行为，如过度消费或以高价转售”。故填Good: They bring joy, relieve stress, and encourage social sharing. Bad: They create waste, encourage impulsive buying, and can lead to unhealthy behaviors like overspending or reselling at high prices. B Nowadays, toy collecting has become increasingly popular among grown-ups. Why are grown-ups so crazy about kids’ toys? Here are some people’s opinions. I’m a Labubu collector. It looks special with its big eyes, sharp teeth, and creepy (搞怪的) smiles, which make it different from other toys. Labubu’s mix of silly and sweet styles is perfect. That’s why I treasure these little friends! —Zhou Xin, a programmer, 23, China I love Jellycat toys. Their soft fur (绒毛) feels gentle in my hands, bringing me back to my sweet childhood memories. After a whole day’s stressful busy work, hugging them takes my worries away. Though they never speak, they seem to understand my feelings with their smiley faces. They’re like caring friends to me. —Fiona, an office worker, 38, the UK Toy collecting brings joy and comfort to grown-ups, but it also brings problems. The blind box business, like Labubu from Pop Mart, makes full use of gambling psychology (赌博心理). Young people usually look for the excitement from not knowing what’s inside until they open the box, and some gradually lose control. Hundreds of collectors rush to get them for fear of missing out. This leads them to buy without thinking. For example, Wang Yu, a college student from Shanghai, even borrowed money online to buy Labubu blind boxes, which cost over 50,000 yuan. As a result, he had to ask his family for help. Collectors should make wise decisions, or Labubu dolls and Jellycat toys may become a threat (威胁) to their bank accounts.

Secondly, set a strict monthly budget for hobbies. Finally, reflect on whether collecting brings real joy or just impulse. 【导语】本文通过收藏者案例与专家警示，展现成人玩具热潮的双面性——既是情感出口，也可能引发非理性消费。 47．根据Zhou Xin的陈述“It looks special with its big eyes, sharp teeth, and creepy smiles”可知，她明确用“special”形容Labubu的独特外观。故填Yes, it does. 48．根据Fiona的陈述“bringing me back to my sweet childhood memories”以及“They’re like caring friends”可知，玩具对她而言是童年回忆的载体和情感陪伴。故填Childhood memories and caring friends. 49．根据文中内容可知，综合两则案例：Zhou Xin因“审美独特性”（special looks）收藏；Fiona因“情感慰藉”（comfort and emotional support）收藏；文末补充盲盒的“刺激感”（excitement of uncertainty）。故填Unique designs, emotional comfort, and the thrill of blind boxes. 50．根据文中内容，结合实际情况，回答需针对王宇“借款5万元买盲盒”的问题提出具体解决方案：债务处理（优先还款避免利息）、行为矫正（设定消费限额）、心理反思（区分真实需求与冲动）。故填Firstly, seek family help to repay debts immediately.

It is a funny-looking monster with big eyes, sharp teeth and messy hair. It always wants to help but often accidentally achieves the opposite. Inspired (启发) by fairy tales and children’s wild imagination, artist Kasing Lung from Hong Kong, China created such an elf-like (像精灵的) character in his book series The Monsters in 2015, along with other monster characters to life as dolls. Labubu became popular around the world in late 2024 and early 2025. Now it is not only a fictional character but also refers to the whole series, including different characters from its planet, such as Zimomo, Tycoco, and Mokoko. Some of these dolls look similar and are hard to tell apart, but collectors know the difference. The dolls are mainly sold in blind boxes, so you won’t know which one you’ll get, making it a surprise. Both kids and adults have fallen in love with Labubu. In Tokyo, its creative designs inspire young artists. In Bangkok, it has become a symbol of cultural exchange. Across the ocean in New York, fans share their collections and artworks online actively. “Labubu reminds me of childhood creatively,” says one of the Labubu fans. “Now my friends and I even design our own monster characters?” Labubu’s success shows how creativity connects people worldwide. Though the fun of opening blind boxes brings great pleasure it’s important to enjoy them wisely and avoid overspending or compulsive (强制的) collecting. After all, the real value lies in admiring the art, not just collecting. 1．Who created the character Labubu? A．A toy company. B．Kasing Lung. C．Labubu fans. D．Online artists. 2．Why is buying a Labubu doll described as “a surprise”? A．Because the dolls are really well-made. B．Because the boxes of the dolls are different. C．Because all dolls from the series are beautiful. D．Because buyers don’t know which doll is inside the box. 3．What can we infer from the examples of Tokyo, Bangkok, and New York?

C．How creativity connects people worldwide. D．Why Labubu is popular in different cities. B Just as the saying goes, “Life is like a box of (different) chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” Not only is life like that, but so are the blind boxes from the Henan Museum. The museum catches visitors’ eyes with many kinds of archaeological (考古的) blind boxes. These blind boxes are popular because visitors can find replicas of cultural relics (文物复制品) by themselves. If you want an archaeological blind box, you just need to spend about 60 yuan on it. Then you can dig and find your own treasure. The mystery boxes come in different sizes and shapes. Some are small and some are big. The museum’s first blind boxes sold out very soon because many people were interested in them. And many visitors asked the museum to produce more. However, the museum in Henan is not the only museum to sell archaeological blind boxes in China. The Shaanxi History Museum in Xi’an has made its own blind box models. And the blind boxes from the Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan are popular with people too. Shanghai Museum also plans to do so.

A．The Differences Between Museums B．The Ways to produce Blind Boxes C．The Blind Boxes in Chinese Museums D．The History of the Henan Museum C Blind boxes have become very popular toys in China. The idea is simple: the buyers will not know which toy it is until they open the boxes, so it’s a bit like gambling (赌博). You may feel happy if you get the things you want, but more often, you can’t get what you like. People spend lots of money on their luck. Pop Mart is a famous company (公司). But it began as a small shop in Beijing’s Zhongguancun area. At first, it sold different kinds of products. Later, the company found that toys were the most popular and best-selling products. They thought selling toys might be the best way. The idea for blind boxes was from Gashapon (扭蛋机) in Japan, which sells blind toys. Each toy inside Pop Mart’s blind boxes costs only about 2 dollars, but they sell for around 8 dollars each. This brings the company a lot of money. Pop Mart had around 6.3 billion yuan in revenue (收入) in the year of 2023, 1.7 billion yuan more than that in 2022. Nowadays, young people really like this kind of toy. Some buyers have collected over 1,000 dolls. In their eyes, the dolls are symbols of their personalities, or they just want to share something cute. Some toys are hard to get, so people sell them at higher prices in the second-hand markets. Some countries make rules to manage the selling of blind boxes, and they work out well. These rules help to stop over-marketing and protect buyers, especially kids, from buying things without thinking and being cheated. To keep growing, Pop Mart needs to keep making something new and sell more toys. Labubu was a big success. The founder wishes that Pop Mart can be a world-famous company like Disney one day. 10．Why are blind boxes so popular in China? A．Because they are very cheap toys for everyone. B．Because they are the best-selling products in all shops. C．Because people always get the toys they want from the boxes. D．Because buyers enjoy the feeling of not knowing what’s inside. 11．Which of the following can show the revenue of Pop Mart in 2022 and 2023? A． B． C． D． 12．Which sentence should go in the empty box in Paragraph 5? A．In fact, blind boxes are toys with no special things. B．However, the blind boxes are as hard to stop as gambling. C．Moreover, many young people think blind boxes are easy to collect. D．Therefore, Pop Mart plans to create more new characters in the future. 13．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．People can’t buy blind boxes outside Beijing. B．Pop Mart will surely become as famous as Disney in the future. C．Young people will stop buying blind boxes because of the price. D．Pop Mart needs to create more new things for its development. D ①In recent times, Labubu has taken the toy-loving world by storm, attracting countless fans with its unique charm. Claire Carrillo, a young woman from the Philippines, is among those attracted by Labubu. She loves Pop Mart’s cute toys, and she’s far from alone in this interest. Pop Mart’s 2024 report shows the company had over 530 stores globally and achieved revenue (收益)  of about 13 billion yuan in 2024. ②One big reason behind Pop Mart’s success is the “kidult” trend (成人儿童化趋势). Millennials (千禧一代 ) and Generation Z often enjoy hobbies that are associated with children, like collecting toys. Pop Mart has tapped into this trend by making products that connect with customers’ feelings. For example, Claire relates to the Crybaby series because she sees herself as a crybaby. Ashley Jane Lowa, a filmmaker from Singapore, collects Tirono and Nyota because they remind her of herself and her boyfriend. ③Another important part of Pop Mart’s success is its blind box culture. According to Pop Mart, the fun of blind boxes is that buyers never know which toy they will get, pushing people to buy more. ④The fun and surprise of blind boxes also add a little magic to daily life. They help build community relationships through sharing, trading and showing the toys. “This is important in a time when many people feel lonely because of so much time spent online,” said Erica Kanesaka, an assistant professor at Emory University. ⑤This feeling of connection and excitement is exactly what attracts Amanda Lee in Singapore. She enjoys opening Pop Mart’s blind boxes during lunchtime with her colleagues. “It’s just a fun little thing that we get to do together during our lunch breaks and it reduces some stress.” Lee told Time magazine. 14．What can we learn about Pop Mart from the passage?

B．Why so many people like collecting toys. C．When Pop Mart started blind box culture. D．What people do with Pop Mart toys online. 17．What is the structure of this passage?

It has a “bad-boy” look, which makes many people, especially young people, like it. It’s like Labubu is not trying to be p 29 . That makes it cool. Another r 30 for Labubu’s success is the “blind-box” way of selling. When you buy a blind box, you don’t know which Labubu doll you will get i 31 . This makes it exciting, just like a little game. People want to open more boxes to find their favorite or a rare one. Some rare Labubu dolls are so hard to get that they can be s 32 for much more money.

B People around the world are going crazy for LABUBU. LABUBU is a cute monster plush toy with big eyes, long ears, and a wide smile.

LABUBU was c 35 by Kasing Lung, an artist from Hong Kong. In 2015, he first drew LABUBU in his picture books about monsters. The character quickly caught people’s attention. A few years later, Kasing Lung worked with a toy company to turn LABUBU into a real toy. Since then, LABUBU has appeared in many colours, clothes, and styles.

You may not yet own one, but you must have heard something about Labubu, the fluffy blind box toy that has gone viral in recent months. What makes them so exciting? It all comes down to the surprise they offer. Imagine this, you are holding a blind box, but you don’t know what’s inside. That sense of mini-adventure triggers your brain’s reward system, releasing dopamine—the same chemical that brings you joy and makes things like winning a game feel so good. Companies know how to make blind boxes irresistible. They use limited-edition releases, special themes, and popular characters (like Harry Potter or Ne Zha) to make each box feel unique. Plus, many blind boxes are part of a series, encouraging people to collect them all. For some, it’s about reliving childhood memories of exchanging cards or toy collections. For others, it’s the satisfaction of completing a set. Social media platforms like Rednote, Douyin and Weibo make blind boxes even more popular. Watching influencers or friends unbox them creates excitement and FOMO (fear of missing out). People love sharing their own unboxing experiences. The more people see others enjoying blind boxes, the more they want to try them too. While blind boxes are often seen as kids’ toys, adults love them too. Opening a blind box is a stress reliever for grown-ups—a small, happy surprise in a long working day. Indeed, blind boxes have become attractive to everyone, old and young. While blind boxes are fun, they also have their downsides. One major problem is waste—since buyers don’t know what’s inside, they often end up with duplicates, or figures they don’t want. Many of these unwanted toys get thrown away as plastic waste. For collectors, the excitement of opening a blind box can quickly turn into frustration when they keep getting the same common figures instead of the rare ones they hoped for. The blind box trend has also led to extreme behaviors. Limited-edition releases create a frenzy—like people camping outside stores overnight or pushing and shoving to grab boxes before they sell out. Even worse, resellers buy up popular blind boxes just to sell them later at crazy-high prices. A $15 toy might end up costing hundreds online. Blind boxes can be exciting, but it’s important to look at both sides of the coin. Before buying, ask yourself: Am I doing this for fun, or just because everyone else is? Collecting should be about joy, not stress or greed. Always keep blind boxes a fun hobby, instead of a toxic trend. 41．Are blind boxes everywhere? 42．According to the passage, why are blind boxes so exciting? 43．How do companies make blind boxes attractive? 44．When do collectors get frustrated with blind boxes? 45．Give the passage a title. 46．Do you think blind boxes are a good thing?

Here are some people’s opinions. I’m a Labubu collector. It looks special with its big eyes, sharp teeth, and creepy (搞怪的) smiles, which make it different from other toys. Labubu’s mix of silly and sweet styles is perfect. That’s why I treasure these little friends! —Zhou Xin, a programmer, 23, China I love Jellycat toys. Their soft fur (绒毛) feels gentle in my hands, bringing me back to my sweet childhood memories. After a whole day’s stressful busy work, hugging them takes my worries away. Though they never speak, they seem to understand my feelings with their smiley faces. They’re like caring friends to me. —Fiona, an office worker, 38, the UK Toy collecting brings joy and comfort to grown-ups, but it also brings problems. The blind box business, like Labubu from Pop Mart, makes full use of gambling psychology (赌博心理). Young people usually look for the excitement from not knowing what’s inside until they open the box, and some gradually lose control. Hundreds of collectors rush to get them for fear of missing out. This leads them to buy without thinking. For example, Wang Yu, a college student from Shanghai, even borrowed money online to buy Labubu blind boxes, which cost over 50,000 yuan. As a result, he had to ask his family for help. Collectors should make wise decisions, or Labubu dolls and Jellycat toys may become a threat (威胁) to their bank accounts.
