If you think they are all playing video games or watching short videos on their phones, you might be wrong. In 2026, many young people are turning to something quite different — “grandma hobbies. “ “Grandma hobbies” is a fun name for traditional activities like needlepoint (刺绣) and gardening. These are things that people’s grandmothers used to enjoy. But now, Gen Z (people born after 1997) are falling in love with them. Emma MacTaggart, 26, from the US, is a good example. She used to work long hours in banking. After work, she would just look through her phone for hours — a habit called “getting lost in her phone.” To change this, she and her roommates decided to try needlepoint. Soon, they became “fully engrossed.” Emma said it was so relaxing that they spent almost all their free time making needlepoint works instead of looking at a screen. These old hobbies help young people reduce stress and feel relaxed. When they finish a gift or a dish, they feel proud and successful. Social media helps them become more popular. Young people share their works online and make friends. Some even turn their hobbies into businesses. Take Anna Weare as an example, a 31-year-old blacksmith (铁匠 ) — people now wait a year for her handmade products. So next time you see a young person blacksmithing, don’t be surprised. It’s the newest cool thing to do! 25．What are “grandma hobbies” according to the passage? A．Modern mobile phone apps. B．Old-fashioned video games. C．Traditional enjoyable activities. D．Business plans for old people. 26．Why did Emma MacTaggart start needlepoint? A．To make more money. B．To change her lifestyle. C．To pass the time with friends. D．To get help from others. 27．What does the underlined word “engrossed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．crazy B．bored C．tired D．angry 28．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．“Grandma hobbies” help young people relax and find pleasure. B．All young people turn their hobbies into successful businesses. C．Needlepoint is the most popular free-time activity for Gen Z. D．Young people take up “grandma hobbies” only to make friends. C Have you ever experienced endless work, great pressure, or carried high expectations? Don’t worry! HALT, which stands for hungry, angry, lonely and tired, can help you deal with your emotions. When you feel bad, ask yourself if you have the following problems: hunger, anger, loneliness, or tiredness, and then do with them first. Feeling mad may be caused by hunger. When you’re hungry, your blood sugar drops. You may become absent-minded, lose your temper and feel bad. The lower your blood sugar, the worse your mood. You can eat healthy snacks or fruit to balance it. When you’re angry with someone or something, just stop thinking about the problems. Taking deep breaths and writing down your feelings in a notebook are both good choices. Such simple actions can help you cool down and avoid saying or doing something you might regret later. Feeling lonely makes you sad or anxious. Chat with friends or family, or join clubs to meet new people. When tired, your brain works slowly. Change your pace: study 25 minutes, rest 5 minutes. Dance or close your eyes. Sleep early to refresh. To manage these feelings, you can also prepare a HALT first-aid kit（急救包）. It is just as the saying goes, “mend the roof while the sun is shining”. The things you put in your kit may include some snacks, a stress ball, a list of “happy songs” and even a comfortable sweater. After all, taking good care of our bodies helps our mind stay stronger. Let's make good use of HALT. Through controlling our emotions well, we can make better decisions in our lives. 29．According to the passage, what can you do if you feel angry? A．Practice breathing exercises. B．Keep focusing on the problem. C．Eat some healthy snacks or fruits. D．Go to bed early for refreshing. 30．Which picture shows the changes of our mood according to paragraph 2? A． B． C． D． 31．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. HALT first-aid kit must have expensive things B. Good emotion control helps us make better choices C. Our body health has nothing to do with our mind D. We can only use HALT when we are very sad 32．Which can be the best title of the passage? A．How to deal with Your Bad Mood Wisely B．How to Manage Stress with Healthy Snacks C．Mastering HALT: A Guide to Managing Emotions D．The Importance of Rest and Relaxation in Daily Life D The Dead Sea is not a real sea. It is a large salt lake. It is in western Asia, between Jordan (约旦) and other countries. It is very special. It is the lowest place on Earth’s land. Its surface is about 416 meters below sea level. The Dead Sea is long and not very wide. It is about 86 kilometers long and 5 to 18 kilometers wide. The Jordan River runs into it. But no rivers run out of the Dead Sea. The water here is very salty. It is much saltier than other sea water. That’s why most fish and plants cannot live in it. Only some very small living things can live here. So people call it “the Dead Sea”. The salty water makes people float (漂浮) easily. You do not need to swim. You can just lie on the water and read a book! Many visitors come here every year to enjoy this great feeling. The Dead Sea mud (泥) is also very good for the skin, so many people like to take mud baths here. But the Dead Sea is facing problems now. Its water is becoming smaller and smaller. People take too much water from the Jordan River for farming and everyday use.The warm weather also makes the water decrease more quickly. We must try to protect this great natural wonder. 33．What is the Dead Sea according to the passage? A．A clean sea with many fish. B．A large salt lake in western Asia. C．A long river with little water. D．A small lake with cold water. 34．Why is the Dead Sea special in the world? A．Because it is the hottest place on Earth. B．Because it is the longest river in Asia. C．Because it has the most fish in the world. D．Because it is the lowest place on Earth’ land. 35．Why do people call it the “Dead Sea”? A．Because it is too cold for animals. B．Because there is no salt in its water. C．Because almost no visitors go there. D．Because most fish and plants can’t live in it. 36．What can people do easily in the Dead Sea? A．Swim fast like in a pool. B．Catch different kinds of fish. C．Float on the water freely. D．Grow vegetables near it. 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个 多余的选项。 Flu season is coming!

They used to be 10 minutes, but now they are 15 minutes. This change is to help students and teachers go outside and play more. Before, the short breaks didn’t give students much time to play outside, especially if they were in big buildings with many floors. Sometimes, schools didn’t let students leave their rooms during breaks because they were worried about safety. Now, with longer class breaks, schools want to make sure students can play and exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. Cities like Beijing and Qingdao have started doing this. In Beijing, they made the breaks longer by taking time from the longer breaks in the middle of the day. This didn’t change when students start and finish school. In Wuxi, a city in Jiangsu Province, schools have 15-minute breaks and make sure students have one gym class each day. In order to help students play outside and talk with their friends, schools ask students to exercise for at least 100 minutes every day. The people in charge of schools there said they want to give the break time back to the students. In Qingdao, a school started playing different games outside, like rope jumping and hula hoop (呼啦圈), and also had puzzles to play inside during the longer breaks. They organize the students by the floor they are on so everyone can play outside. A check showed that more students in Qingdao are getting good scores on their health tests. 61．In which places can students play for at least 30 minutes every day? ___________________________________________________________________________ 62．How long do Wuxi schools ask students to exercise every day? ___________________________________________________________________________ 63．What does the check show in Qingdao schools? ___________________________________________________________________________ 64．What do you want to do during the 15-minute break?
