◆
Two months into my Ph.D.,I was on the edge of quitting.My broken English made it hard to keep up
with colleagues.At lab meetings,the conversation progressed so quickly that by.the time I understood a
question,the discussion had already moved on.I once ruined an experiment due to misunderstanding
instructions.In a presentation,I embarrassed myself by confusing"gene dilution"with "gene deletion".I
felt out of place,uncertain about my future in scicnce.
I had moved to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland,excited to become a scientist,but quickly felt
overwhelmed.The lab was full of complex instruments I had only ever seen in textbooks,and I had no idea
how to use them.Most of all,the language barrier made everything harder.Classes were taught in English,
and I struggled to follow the discussions.
After a particularly embarrassing presentation,a senior lab memben pulled me aside andsaid,"You are
not here because of your English.You are here because you can think."His words gave me the strength to
continue.I began recording everv class and replaying the discussions at night.Slowly,my English improved,
and I grew more confident in expressing my ideas..
Years later,after training in Hong Kong,Canada,and the United States,I returned to my hometown to
nn my own lab.My students all spoke Mandarin,and I assumed they wouldn't struggle as much as I had
because they didn't face the same language barrier.But I soon realized they too battled doubts about their
careers and abilities.I realized my job was to teach them to think critically and solve problems creatively,
just as I had been taugnt.When I saw a student struggling with an expenment,I told her,"You are not here
because your experiments always work.You are here because you can think."Her smile told me she was
encouraged by these words.
Today,what I.value most in my job is the transformation I see in the students who arrive uncertain,but
who leave with enough confidence to ghallenge me.their professor.For me.helping others cross the bridge
is the true reward of scientific life.

You enter the kitchen to grab something off the counter,only to find halfway there that the thought has
suddenly disappeared.Backtracking to the living room brings it rushing back.Your Brain isn't broken.In
fact,you've just experienced what psychologists call the doorway effect,a'common and well-documented
cognitive hiccup(认知偏差),
Gabriel Radvansky,a psychology professor at the University of Notre Dame,who has spent years-
investigating how physical movemcnt affects memory,uncovers the underlying mechanism:the brain
organizes experience into separate episodes called Event models.Each room,each distinct eontext represents
a separale episode with doorways serving as "event boundarics"that signal transitions between episodes.
When you cross a doorway,the brain files the previous episode of activity awav and begins building a new
one As a result,the.intention you formed in the onginal room becomcs buried under newly-activated
contextual information.
In-controlled experiments,Radvansky found that participants were two to threc tfmes more likely to
forget their intended task after crossing a doorway than after travelling the same distance within a single
room."Recalling the decision or activity made in a different room is difficult because it has been filed and
covered up,"he explained."Retracing your steps works because it reinstates the original episode and brings
back the buried intention to the surface."
Jeffrey Zacks,a psychologist at Washington University has described the significance of Radvansky's
work precisely.Scientists once believed time was the primary factor in memory access and later research
showed it was the amount of new information arriving over time,he noted.The doorway studies added a
third dimension,the structure of experience itself,adjusting access to the immediately relevant memories
accordingly.
For evervday Burposes,forming a clear,specific intention before crossing a doorway rather than relying
on surrounding memory,reduccs the chance of losing it at the boundary.Writing it down achieves the same
effect as it moves the intention into an external record that location-updating proccss can't touch.And
recognize that walking into a room and forgetting why,which becomes more frequent under stress,tiredness
or high cognitive load,is a normal feature of how your brain manages episodic transitions,a trade-off
between efficiency and immediate access.not a malfunction.
28.What do we know aboufevent models from the passage?
A.They cause memory disorder.
B.They mix ditferent life experiences.
C.They are erased by doorways.
D.They are linked to specific contexts.
29.What does the underlined word"reinstates"mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Restores.
B.Replaces.
C.Reconstructs.
D.Restricts
30.What is the significance of Radvansky's studies according to Zacks?
A.Confirming the role ot information.
B.Oftering new memory perspectives.
C.Revolutionizing memory loss research.D.Correcting traditional memory views.
31.What is recommended to prevent the doorway effect?
A.Avoiding the event boundaries.
B.Reducing the multitask chances.
C.Extemalizing the specific intention.
D.Embracing the declining memory.

How to use Al tools wisely is a hot topic today.When choosing a chathot,there is no universally"best"
option.Tech companies keep updating their products,but most current tools perform similarly.The author
suggests users experiment:try different platforms or send the same reauest to different chatbots to compare
responses.When using tools like ChatGPT or Claude,clear and specific prompts are key,because AI tends
to fill in details on its own,which may lead to mismatched results.
Privacy risks are a maier concem.User data protection is far from guaranteed.For example,OpenAI
once tested making users'chat logs searchable on Google without notice.Also,the health feature it offers is
not covered by strict privacy laws like HIPAA.The U.S.lacks complete data protection rules,so chatbots
face risks of hacks and leaks.
Al-generated images and videos are increasingly common online.Today's tools make it possible for
anyone to create images and videos so realisticithat it's impossible to tell what is real and what is AI-made.
Deep fakes further complicate things.Modern tools can create hyper-realistic images and videos,
making it hard to tell what is real.While much AI content is harmless,some is low-quality"AI slop"or cven
false information designed to mislead people.Thus,it is necessary to be skeptical when viewing online
media.
Looking ahead,future AI agents may handle daily tasks like emails and meetings,becoming the true
assistants seen in sci-fi.However,no one can predict AI's exact future,because its development is shaped by
human choices.The author's advice is to start small:use Al to simplify boring work or boost creativity,but
stay aware of tts risks.Users should keep what they enjoy doing themselves instead of handing evervthing
over to Al.At the end of the day,people are in control of how AI fits into their lives.
32.What does the author suggest users do with Alchatbots?
A.Stick to a single chatbot.
B.Expertent with several chatbots.
C.Give chatbots vague prompts.
D.Choose chatbots that update often.
33.What does the text indicate about the safety of AI chatbots?
A.Their chat records risk public exposure.
B.Al images are confused with deep fakes.
C.AI videos are hard to tell from reat ones.
D.False news spreads mainly via health tools.
34.What does the underlined word "skeptical"mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Uncertain.
B.Angry.
C.Afraid.
·D.Doubtful.
35.What can we infer about the author's advice on using Al?
A.Leave boring tasks to Al completely.
B.Al wilrseon manage our daily lives.
C.Apply Al with caution and control.
D.Al is not yet worth trusting.

Tommy woke up with a bounce in his bed.Morning sunlight streamed through the curtains,but instead
of warmth and comfort,it brought a chill(of realization.Today was Mother's Day -and he had
completely forgotten to prepare a gift.His mother,who remembered everything about him-from soccer
games to prepare a gift to his favorite food,deserved something special.Yet here he was,empty-handed.
Downstairs,the familiar smell of pancakes was coming from the kitchen.Tommy grabbed his backpack.
said a quick goodbye,and rushed out before his mother could see the worry and guilt on his face.He had no
plan,only a desperate hope that something would come to him.
At school,Tommy met his friends.Their excited chatter about the gifts they had prepared-
hand-painted cups,carefully folded paper flowers,poems written on fancy paper-only deepened his
anxiety.When Ben,one of Tommy's friends,asked what he had arranged for his mother,Tommy's cheeks
reddened.He admitted the truth,expecting laughter.Instead,Ben put a hand on Tommy's shoulder and said,
"Don't worry,Tommy.We can think of something together."Another friend suggested turning to Miss
Daisy for help.
Miss Daisy was their teacher,and she always had great ideas.She was standing by the blackboard,
writing up today's lessons.When Tommy and his friends approached,she turned and listened without
interrupting.After Tommy finished his explanation,shc smiled gently,"The gifts that matter most rarely
come from stores.Maybe we can make special Mother's Day cards today."
She then explained to the whole class the afteroon's plan:They were going to make handmade
Mother's Day cards.The classroom was full of excitement immediately,together with Tommy's relicf.Miss
Daisy then went and fetched some scissors,glue sticks,colorful paper and colored pencils.Handing them
out,she added,"But first,let's think of what makes your mom special.Then,we can add it to the card."
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右:

Sitting at his desk,Tommy closed his eyes and let his memories surface.
After school,Tommy grabbed his creation and rushed home.
