Have you ever let circumstances convince you that your dreams are out of reach? Nancy Solari’s life is a powerful answer to that doubt — she turned blindness, loss, and hardship into a life of purpose, proving that “vision” has little to do with sight.
At 10, Nancy watched The Oprah Winfrey Show and knew she wanted to be a host. She later studied Broadcasting and Psychology, building an early career in production and on-air reporting. But at 16, a diagnosis of Retinitis Pigmentosa — a degenerative eye disease — changed everything. Her vision faded slowly: first, reading teleprompters became a struggle, then faces blurred, until she was legally blind. She also faced domestic violence, family tensions, and painful personal loss, each challenge strengthening her resilience.
One thing that sets Nancy apart is the way she connects with people in interviews. Instead of depending on prewritten notes, she prepares by listening closely and allowing guests’ stories of heartbreak and success to shape the conversation. “I don’t read notes,” she once shared. “The dialogue unfolds naturally, and guests often find it therapeutic.”
Today, Nancy’s influence reaches far beyond broadcasting. She hosts The Living Full Out Show, a radio and TV platform reaching millions, and founded Nonprofit MVP, a TV competition that offers exposure and prizes to worthy nonprofits. As a coach and speaker, she encourages people to turn obstacles into opportunities. For Nancy, “Living Full Out” — her life’s mantra (信条) — means trusting in faith, asking for help when necessary, and refusing to let adversity define her story.
Her journey teaches us a timeless lesson: Our greatest limitations are often the ones we accept. With purpose and courage, even the darkest challenges can become the foundation of our brightest achievements.
4. Why does the author mention The Oprah Winfrey Show in paragraph 2?
A. To introduce the history of broadcasting.
B. To show Nancy’s early interest in psychology.
C. To identify the source of Nancy’s career dream.
D. To compare Nancy’s hosting style with Oprah’s.
5. How does Nancy make her interviews special?
A. By using detailed prewritten notes.
B. By developing conversations naturally.
C. By inviting famous guests to her show.
D. By focusing on guests’ success stories.
6. Which of the following can best describe Nancy?
A. Determined and influential. B. Humorous and relaxed.
C. Quiet and dependent. D. Strict and doubtful.
7. What message does this text mainly convey?
A. Media work needs special skills.
B. Loss can prevent personal growth.
C. Purpose and courage beat hardship.
D. Success depends on public support.
C
Why do people often make choices that seem irrational (不理智的)? Consider the “peanuts effect”: when offered $0.10 for sure or a 10% chance of $1, many pick the risky option. But if the stakes (份额) rise to $1,000 vs. a 10% chance of $10,000, most choose the guaranteed money. This reversal has long puzzled economists, who once viewed it as a weakness in human reasoning.
A 2025 study in Cognitive Psychology challenges that view, framing such behavior as an optimization strategy rather than a mistake. Led by Dr. Zhang Hang’s team, the research developed an “Assemblable Resource-Rational Modules” (ARRM) framework, modeling decision-making as information processing with limited cognitive resources.
The team tested two key hypotheses (假说). First, the “rational inattention” assumption: brains devote more focus to high-stakes choices. When rewards grow, people invest extra cognitive effort to estimate probabilities accurately. Second, the“structural prior” hypothesis: lifetime experience teaches us that “higher risk means higher return,” so we lean on this rule for small stakes.
Analyzing new and published data, the ARRM framework successfully explained the peanuts effect’s core features. “What looks illogical is actually the brain’s way of saving resources,” Zhang explains. For small rewards, the effort to calculate exact probabilities isn’t worth it — so we use simple rules. For large rewards, precision becomes valuable.
This research changes our understanding of decision-making: apparent anomalies often reflect logical resource management. It may also help design better financial advice, tailoring guidance to how people naturally process risk and reward.
8. What does the “peanuts effect” refer to?
A. Reliance on past experience. B. Shifts in risk attitude with reward size.
C. Mistakes in human reasoning. D. Limitations in economic decisions.
9. What does the first assumption suggest?
A. Small rewards get less popularity. B. Large rewards affect judgment.
C. Effort rises with reward value. D. Small choices need exact judgment.
10. What does the underlined word “anomalies” in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Unusual cases. B. Common habits. C. Careful plans. D. Mental resources.
11. What might the research be applied to?
A. Developing cognitive training. B. Avoiding daily life risks.
C. Increasing reward values. D. Offering personalized financial tips.
D
Earth’s mesosphere, a layer of the atmosphere far above airplane routes and weather systems, is facing a growing but little-known pollution problem: the burn-up of satellites during re-entry. More than 15,000 satellites are already circling Earth, and experts estimate that another 70,000 may be launched by 2030. Since most satellites have limited lifetimes, many will eventually fall back through the atmosphere and burn up. Scientists warn that this process releases aluminum oxide, soot (煤烟), and other reactive substances into high altitudes where their effects are still not fully understood.
Aluminum is a major material in satellites, making up about 40 percent of a typical one. When a satellite burns, much of this aluminum turns into alumina (氧化铝), a substance that may weaken the ozone layer, which protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Another concern is soot. Although far less soot reaches the mesosphere than lower levels of the atmosphere, it can remain there for years, absorb sunlight, and trap heat. A 2022 study suggested that soot at such heights may have a warming effect hundreds of times stronger than soot released by cars near the ground.
What worries researchers even more is the speed of change. Before 2020, emissions of metals and soot from satellite re-entries were rising at about 6 percent a year. After 2020, the rate increased sharply as more satellites were launched. A 2025 simulation (模拟推演) suggested that a future system of over 60,000 short-lifetime satellites could warm the mesosphere (中间层) by 1.5°C and weaken polar winds. Such changes might influence atmospheric circulation in ways scientists do not yet fully understand.
Researchers are now exploring possible ways to ease the danger. Some scientists are testing whether different re-entry paths could reduce harmful emissions, though such methods may create other chemicals. At the same time, engineers are developing atmosphere-breathing satellites and studying in-orbit refueling so that spacecraft can stay in use longer and avoid unnecessary re-entries. Even so, experts stress that more research is urgently needed before the problem grows beyond control.
12. Why is alumina from satellite burn-ups a major concern?
A. It releases harmful radiation.
B. It blocks sunlight and traps heat.
C. It affects global weather systems.
D. It damages Earth’s protective shield.
13. What may happen if the problem is left unchecked?
A. Worse effects from upper-air soot.
B. A break in the natural temperature balance.
C. A warmer mesosphere and weakened winds.
D. A continuous rise in space device launches.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Potential approaches to the issue. B. Research on new re-entry paths.
C. Hidden worries of sky projects. D. New progress in craft refueling.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Solutions to High Air Pollution B. Falling Satellites: A Threat to Mesosphere
C. The Uncertain Future of Satellite Technology D. Mesosphere: Affected by Man-made Flying Units
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
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。
The World Health Organization predicts that by 2050, half of the global population may have myopia (近视). This sharp rise has led scientists to study its causes and prevention more closely.
●____16____
Myopia often begins in childhood, when the eyeball grows too long from front to back. Then light cannot focus correctly on the retina, so distant objects appear blurry. Researchers believe normal eye growth depends on a balance between biology and environment. When that balance is disturbed, myopia may develop.
●Why outdoor time may matter more
Researchers now point to one major factor: children are spending less time outdoors. ____17____. A 2017 study in JAMA Ophthalmology found that children with more sunlight exposure were less likely to become myopic.
●Why screens are still a concern
This does not mean digital devices are harmless. Long periods of reading, scrolling (刷屏), or gaming keep the eyes focused on nearby objects. ____18____. So while screens may not be the only cause, they can still speed up myopia.
●More than a vision problem
Myopia is often seen as a simple eyesight issue that glasses can correct. ____19____. Serious myopia may also raise the risk of other eye diseases later in life.
●Small changes, real help
Good lighting, less screen glare, and regular breaks during close work can all help protect the eyes. Eye specialists also recommend the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. ____20____.
A. How myopia forms
B. When myopia starts
C. Therefore, sunlight matters more
D. It’s never too early to protect eye health
E. Studies have linked close work to higher myopia risk
F. Outdoor activities may help because they reduce screen time
G. They can improve vision but do not remove later health risks

While he was bent over the chessboard, he suddenly looked up, met my gaze, and said, “It’s your turn.”
Those three words were a signal for a new beginning. David started talking, made friends, and ____34____ life again through activities like a bicycle club.

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。
Ever since an AI study app gained popularity among students, it has gradually become part of my daily study routine. At first, I only used it to check difficult words and grammar points. But before long, I began asking it for more. It could summarize passages, organize writing ideas, and even offer model sentences far better than mine.
I loved the feeling. While my classmates were still working through their notes, I could finish homework faster and more neatly. My English compositions became longer and more polished. Even my weekly reflection, which used to take me a long time, could now be done in just a few minutes. I told myself I was simply using technology wisely.
One Friday afternoon, our English teacher, Ms. Miller, announced an in-class writing task for the following Monday. “No phones, no devices, and no reference materials,” she said. “Just your own mind, your own language, and your own story.” The classroom filled with nervous laughter, but I didn’t laugh. Instead, my fingers tightened around my pen.
That weekend, I opened the app as usual and typed in the topic Ms. Miller had mentioned: “A moment that changed how I saw myself.” In seconds, the app gave me clear structures, topic sentences, and touching expressions. I copied some into my notebook, hoping they would stay in my mind. But when I turned off the screen and tried to write on my own, my mind suddenly felt empty.
Still, I comforted myself by thinking I was just tired.
But Monday came sooner than expected. When Ms. Miller handed out the writing paper, my heart sank. The topic had changed. Instead, it read: “Describe a time when you had to solve a problem on your own.” I stared at it, my mouth dry. Around me, pens began to move quickly across paper. Mine did not.
Then Ms. Miller walked slowly past my desk and stopped.
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。
She looked at my almost blank paper, and our eyes met for a second.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After I got home that evening, I opened the app again and stared at the screen.

Have you ever let circumstances convince you that your dreams are out of reach? Nancy Solari’s life is a powerful answer to that doubt — she turned blindness, loss, and hardship into a life of purpose, proving that “vision” has little to do with sight.
At 10, Nancy watched The Oprah Winfrey Show and knew she wanted to be a host. She later studied Broadcasting and Psychology, building an early career in production and on-air reporting. But at 16, a diagnosis of Retinitis Pigmentosa — a degenerative eye disease — changed everything. Her vision faded slowly: first, reading teleprompters became a struggle, then faces blurred, until she was legally blind. She also faced domestic violence, family tensions, and painful personal loss, each challenge strengthening her resilience.
One thing that sets Nancy apart is the way she connects with people in interviews. Instead of depending on prewritten notes, she prepares by listening closely and allowing guests’ stories of heartbreak and success to shape the conversation. “I don’t read notes,” she once shared. “The dialogue unfolds naturally, and guests often find it therapeutic.”
Today, Nancy’s influence reaches far beyond broadcasting. She hosts The Living Full Out Show, a radio and TV platform reaching millions, and founded Nonprofit MVP, a TV competition that offers exposure and prizes to worthy nonprofits. As a coach and speaker, she encourages people to turn obstacles into opportunities. For Nancy, “Living Full Out” — her life’s mantra (信条) — means trusting in faith, asking for help when necessary, and refusing to let adversity define her story.
Her journey teaches us a timeless lesson: Our greatest limitations are often the ones we accept. With purpose and courage, even the darkest challenges can become the foundation of our brightest achievements.
4. Why does the author mention The Oprah Winfrey Show in paragraph 2?
A. To introduce the history of broadcasting.
B. To show Nancy’s early interest in psychology.
C. To identify the source of Nancy’s career dream.
D. To compare Nancy’s hosting style with Oprah’s.
5. How does Nancy make her interviews special?
A. By using detailed prewritten notes.
B. By developing conversations naturally.
C. By inviting famous guests to her show.
D. By focusing on guests’ success stories.
6. Which of the following can best describe Nancy?
A. Determined and influential. B. Humorous and relaxed.
C. Quiet and dependent. D. Strict and doubtful.
7. What message does this text mainly convey?
A. Media work needs special skills.
B. Loss can prevent personal growth.
C. Purpose and courage beat hardship.
D. Success depends on public support.

Why do people often make choices that seem irrational (不理智的)? Consider the “peanuts effect”: when offered $0.10 for sure or a 10% chance of $1, many pick the risky option. But if the stakes (份额) rise to $1,000 vs. a 10% chance of $10,000, most choose the guaranteed money. This reversal has long puzzled economists, who once viewed it as a weakness in human reasoning.
A 2025 study in Cognitive Psychology challenges that view, framing such behavior as an optimization strategy rather than a mistake. Led by Dr. Zhang Hang’s team, the research developed an “Assemblable Resource-Rational Modules” (ARRM) framework, modeling decision-making as information processing with limited cognitive resources.
The team tested two key hypotheses (假说). First, the “rational inattention” assumption: brains devote more focus to high-stakes choices. When rewards grow, people invest extra cognitive effort to estimate probabilities accurately. Second, the“structural prior” hypothesis: lifetime experience teaches us that “higher risk means higher return,” so we lean on this rule for small stakes.
Analyzing new and published data, the ARRM framework successfully explained the peanuts effect’s core features. “What looks illogical is actually the brain’s way of saving resources,” Zhang explains. For small rewards, the effort to calculate exact probabilities isn’t worth it — so we use simple rules. For large rewards, precision becomes valuable.
This research changes our understanding of decision-making: apparent anomalies often reflect logical resource management. It may also help design better financial advice, tailoring guidance to how people naturally process risk and reward.
8. What does the “peanuts effect” refer to?
A. Reliance on past experience. B. Shifts in risk attitude with reward size.
C. Mistakes in human reasoning. D. Limitations in economic decisions.
9. What does the first assumption suggest?
A. Small rewards get less popularity. B. Large rewards affect judgment.
C. Effort rises with reward value. D. Small choices need exact judgment.
10. What does the underlined word “anomalies” in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Unusual cases. B. Common habits. C. Careful plans. D. Mental resources.
11. What might the research be applied to?
A. Developing cognitive training. B. Avoiding daily life risks.
C. Increasing reward values. D. Offering personalized financial tips.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D

【导语】文章介绍花生效应及新研究揭秘其背后合理的决策机制与应用价值。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Consider the “peanuts effect”: when offered $0.10 for sure or a 10% chance of $1, many pick the risky option. But if the stakes (份额) rise to $1,000 vs. a 10% chance of $10,000, most choose the guaranteed money. (不妨思考一下花生效应: 当面临稳得0.1美元,或是有10% 概率获得1美元的选择时,很多人会选冒险的方案。 但当收益额度提高:稳拿1000美元,对比10%概率获得10000美元时,大多数人会选择稳妥到手的钱。)”可知,“花生效应”指的是风险态度随回报金额变化。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“First, the “rational inattention” assumption: brains devote more focus to high-stakes choices. When rewards grow, people invest extra cognitive effort to estimate probabilities accurately. (首先是“理性疏忽”假说:大脑会把更多注意力投入到高风险、高回报的选择上。当收益增加时,人们会投入更多认知精力,去精准估算概率。)”可知,第一个假说表明努力程度会随着奖励价值而增加。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“This research changes our understanding of decision-making: apparent anomalies often reflect logical resource management. (这项研究改变了我们对决策的理解:表面上的anomalies往往反映了逻辑性的资源管理。)”结合前文所述,“花生效应”看似不合逻辑或不理智,但实际上是大脑节省资源的方式,因此anomalies应指“反常现象、不寻常的情况”。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“It may also help design better financial advice, tailoring guidance to how people naturally process risk and reward. (它还可能有助于设计更好的财务建议,根据人们自然处理风险和回报的方式来量身定制指导。)”可知,这项研究可能被应用于提供个性化的财务建议。

Earth’s mesosphere, a layer of the atmosphere far above airplane routes and weather systems, is facing a growing but little-known pollution problem: the burn-up of satellites during re-entry. More than 15,000 satellites are already circling Earth, and experts estimate that another 70,000 may be launched by 2030. Since most satellites have limited lifetimes, many will eventually fall back through the atmosphere and burn up. Scientists warn that this process releases aluminum oxide, soot (煤烟), and other reactive substances into high altitudes where their effects are still not fully understood.
Aluminum is a major material in satellites, making up about 40 percent of a typical one. When a satellite burns, much of this aluminum turns into alumina (氧化铝), a substance that may weaken the ozone layer, which protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Another concern is soot. Although far less soot reaches the mesosphere than lower levels of the atmosphere, it can remain there for years, absorb sunlight, and trap heat. A 2022 study suggested that soot at such heights may have a warming effect hundreds of times stronger than soot released by cars near the ground.
What worries researchers even more is the speed of change. Before 2020, emissions of metals and soot from satellite re-entries were rising at about 6 percent a year. After 2020, the rate increased sharply as more satellites were launched. A 2025 simulation (模拟推演) suggested that a future system of over 60,000 short-lifetime satellites could warm the mesosphere (中间层) by 1.5°C and weaken polar winds. Such changes might influence atmospheric circulation in ways scientists do not yet fully understand.
Researchers are now exploring possible ways to ease the danger. Some scientists are testing whether different re-entry paths could reduce harmful emissions, though such methods may create other chemicals. At the same time, engineers are developing atmosphere-breathing satellites and studying in-orbit refueling so that spacecraft can stay in use longer and avoid unnecessary re-entries. Even so, experts stress that more research is urgently needed before the problem grows beyond control.
12. Why is alumina from satellite burn-ups a major concern?
A. It releases harmful radiation.
B. It blocks sunlight and traps heat.
C. It affects global weather systems.
D. It damages Earth’s protective shield.
13. What may happen if the problem is left unchecked?
A. Worse effects from upper-air soot.
B. A break in the natural temperature balance.
C. A warmer mesosphere and weakened winds.
D. A continuous rise in space device launches.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Potential approaches to the issue. B. Research on new re-entry paths.
C. Hidden worries of sky projects. D. New progress in craft refueling.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Solutions to High Air Pollution B. Falling Satellites: A Threat to Mesosphere
C. The Uncertain Future of Satellite Technology D. Mesosphere: Affected by Man-made Flying Units
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍卫星坠落烧毁给地球中间层带来污染,阐述其危害、变化速度以及科研人员探索的应对办法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When a satellite burns, much of this aluminum turns into alumina (氧化铝), a substance that may weaken the ozone layer, which protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. (卫星燃烧时,大部分铝会转化为氧化铝,这种物质可能破坏臭氧层,而臭氧层可保护地球生物免受有害紫外线辐射。)”可知,氧化铝会破坏地球起防护作用的臭氧层。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A 2025 simulation (模拟推演) suggested that a future system of over 60,000 short-lifetime satellites could warm the mesosphere (中间层) by 1.5°C and weaken polar winds. (2025年的模拟推演表明,未来六万多颗短寿命卫星可能使中间层升温1.5摄氏度并削弱极地风力。)”可知,若问题放任不管,会出现中间层变暖和风力减弱的情况。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Researchers are now exploring possible ways to ease the danger.(研究人员如今正在探索缓解这一危害的可行办法。)”可知,第四段主要介绍解决该问题的潜在途径与方法。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“Earth’s mesosphere, a layer of the atmosphere far above airplane routes and weather systems, is facing a growing but little-known pollution problem: the burn-up of satellites during re-entry.(地球中间层——大气层中远高于航线和天气系统的一层——正面临一个日益严重却鲜为人知的污染问题:卫星重返大气层时的烧毁现象。)”以及后文围绕卫星坠落烧毁对中间层的危害、变化速度和应对办法展开论述可知,文章核心是卫星坠落给中间层带来的威胁,所以“Falling Satellites: A Threat to Mesosphere(坠落卫星:中层大气的一大威胁)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
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。
The World Health Organization predicts that by 2050, half of the global population may have myopia (近视). This sharp rise has led scientists to study its causes and prevention more closely.
●____16____
Myopia often begins in childhood, when the eyeball grows too long from front to back. Then light cannot focus correctly on the retina, so distant objects appear blurry. Researchers believe normal eye growth depends on a balance between biology and environment. When that balance is disturbed, myopia may develop.
●Why outdoor time may matter more
Researchers now point to one major factor: children are spending less time outdoors. ____17____. A 2017 study in JAMA Ophthalmology found that children with more sunlight exposure were less likely to become myopic.
●Why screens are still a concern
This does not mean digital devices are harmless. Long periods of reading, scrolling (刷屏), or gaming keep the eyes focused on nearby objects. ____18____. So while screens may not be the only cause, they can still speed up myopia.
●More than a vision problem
Myopia is often seen as a simple eyesight issue that glasses can correct. ____19____. Serious myopia may also raise the risk of other eye diseases later in life.
●Small changes, real help
Good lighting, less screen glare, and regular breaks during close work can all help protect the eyes. Eye specialists also recommend the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. ____20____.
A. How myopia forms
B. When myopia starts
C. Therefore, sunlight matters more
D. It’s never too early to protect eye health
E. Studies have linked close work to higher myopia risk
F. Outdoor activities may help because they reduce screen time
G. They can improve vision but do not remove later health risks
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. D

Not only will these activities improve our practical abilities, but they will also teach us responsibility, cooperation, and respect for others’ work.

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。
Ever since an AI study app gained popularity among students, it has gradually become part of my daily study routine. At first, I only used it to check difficult words and grammar points. But before long, I began asking it for more. It could summarize passages, organize writing ideas, and even offer model sentences far better than mine.
I loved the feeling. While my classmates were still working through their notes, I could finish homework faster and more neatly. My English compositions became longer and more polished. Even my weekly reflection, which used to take me a long time, could now be done in just a few minutes. I told myself I was simply using technology wisely.
One Friday afternoon, our English teacher, Ms. Miller, announced an in-class writing task for the following Monday. “No phones, no devices, and no reference materials,” she said. “Just your own mind, your own language, and your own story.” The classroom filled with nervous laughter, but I didn’t laugh. Instead, my fingers tightened around my pen.
That weekend, I opened the app as usual and typed in the topic Ms. Miller had mentioned: “A moment that changed how I saw myself.” In seconds, the app gave me clear structures, topic sentences, and touching expressions. I copied some into my notebook, hoping they would stay in my mind. But when I turned off the screen and tried to write on my own, my mind suddenly felt empty.
Still, I comforted myself by thinking I was just tired.
But Monday came sooner than expected. When Ms. Miller handed out the writing paper, my heart sank. The topic had changed. Instead, it read: “Describe a time when you had to solve a problem on your own.” I stared at it, my mouth dry. Around me, pens began to move quickly across paper. Mine did not.
Then Ms. Miller walked slowly past my desk and stopped.

She looked at my almost blank paper, and our eyes met for a second.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After I got home that evening, I opened the app again and stared at the screen.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
She looked at my almost blank paper, and our eyes met for a second. A wave of panic welled up in my heart and left me breathless. Her calm gaze moved from the page to my face, and I quickly lowered my head, too ashamed to meet her eyes again. Holding my pen tightly, I forced myself to think and scratched down a few broken sentences. Yet the harder I struggled, the emptier my mind became, as if every polished expression I had borrowed had slipped out of reach. When the bell finally rang, I was still staring at an unfinished composition, frozen in frustration and regret.
After I got home that evening, I opened the app again and stared at the screen. No sooner had I typed in the topic than I deleted every word and pushed the phone away. For a long time, I sat there in silence, haunted by the blank paper in class and the painful truth that what I had mistaken for progress was only dependence in disguise. Having faced my weakness at last, I felt deeply ashamed, realizing that borrowed language could polish a composition, but it could never build a mind of my own. This experience taught me that technology should guide learning, not replace independent thinking.
