Soapy sat on a seat in Madison Square, New York. A dead leaf fell at his feet. That was a special sign for him that winter was coming. Soapy knew he had to find some way to take care of himself during the cold weather.
Soapy's hopes for the winter were not very high. He was not thinking of sailing away on a ship or enjoying southern skies. Three months in prison(监狱)on Blackwell's Island was what he wanted,for it would give him three months of food every day and a bed every night, which would keep him safe from the cold north wind.
®3 Soupy decided to do something. His first plan was to go to an exiire restaurant and have a good meal. Then he would say he had no money to-pay. And then a cop would be called. Everything would be done quietly-nice and easy, without any trouble.
Soon, he stopped at a large and bright restaurant. This was where the best food and the best people in the best clothes appeared every evening.
Soapy believed that from the waist up he looked all right. His face was clean. His coat was good enough. If he got to a table, success would be his, and the waiter would bring him what he asked for.
But as Soapy set foot inside the restaurant door, the head waiter saw his dirty old trousers and terrible shoes. Strong hands turned Soapy around and moved him quietly and quickly outside again. It seemed that the easiest way to the island was not to be his. Soapy would have to come up with another plan.

A clay cat, usually with big eyes and its mouth wide open, may seem a bit scary at first sight.However, in Yunnan, such cats are seen as little heroes that protect homes. They are called wamao-traditional clay cats once placed on rooftops.
People in Yunnan believe wamao could keep away bad luck and bring peace. In 2023, wamao became Yunnan's provincial intangible cultural heritage(省级非物质文化遗产).
Zhang Hang is an inheritor(传承人)of the Kunming wamao-making skill. In a small museum in Kunming, he makes these cute clay cats. He also founded the Heart Chamber Wamao Museum.
Zhang first saw wamao in 2012 when hë studied folk art design at Yunnan Arts University. was drawn to their expressive artistic forms," he told Xinhua.
After that, looking for old wamao became part of his daily life. After over 10 years of effort,Zhang has collected more than 700 wamao. "It is a vessel of history, culture and people's hope for a better life,"he said.
Since opening the museum in 2019, he has promoted wamao through exhibitions, workshops and tours,letting visitors learn about the craft or visit traditional villages.
To make a wamao, Zhang mixes clay, shapes it, dries it and fires it. Skilled artisans can complete one cat in a week, but Zhang said the true challenge is mixing tradition with new ideas.“It sometimes takes a month to create one that feels right," he said. “The goal is to help this ancient craft find new meaning in modern society.”
As Kunming's old houses gradually disappear, Zhang hopes to save the memories of wamao and keep their spirit alive.

In today's world, digital technology is everywhere. From smartphones to computers, it has changed how we connect. However, some scientists have expressed concern that overusing digital devices could harm our brain health, especially as we age. This idea is sometimes called “digital dementia(痴呆)”,suggesting that depending too much on technology might weaken thinking skills.
But is that really true for older people? A recent study from researchers in the USA offers a different and more hopefu view. The team analysed data from more than 411,000 adults aged 50 and above. They checked how often these people used teehnology-like eomputers, smartphones, and the Internet, and whether that was linked to changes in their cognitive(认知的)health over time.
The results were clear: Regular technology use was connected witha lower risk of cognitive decline(衰退). In fact, the study found that those who often used technology had about 58% lower risk of cognitive decline compared to those who rarely used such devices.
One possible explanation is that using technology often requires learning and adaptation(适应)-whether it's figuring out a new app, following online instructions, or even troubleshooting(检修)a device. These activities can act like mental exercise, helping to keep the brain active. Moreover,technology helps many older adults stay socially connected through messaging apps, video calls, and social media, which is also known to support cognitive health.
Of course, not all screen time is equal. Mindlessly swiping through videos or spending hours on passive entertainment(被动娱乐)may not provide the same benefits. What matters is how we use technology-whether it encourages thinking, learning, or connecting.
This study does not mean technology is a cure for age-related brain changes, and more research is needed to understand the long-term effects. However, it suggests that in our increasingly digital world, using technology in thoughtful and active ways may be one useful part of maintaining brain health as we grow older.

13.According to the study, how does regular use of technology affect older people's brain health?
A. It greatly increases the risk of dementia.
B. It weakens their memory and thinking skills.
C. It is linked to a much lower risk of cognitive decline.
D. It only helps if they stop using it after the age of 60.
14.新考法写作意图 Why does the writer mention “mental exercise”in Paragraph 4?
A.To encourage young people to do mental exercise more often.
B. To suggest that using technology is better than physical exercise.
C. To explain how active technology use is helpful to the brain.
D. To argue that thinking is necessary to prevent old people from digital dementia.
15.Which of the following would the writer most probably recommend for brain health?
A.Leaving the TV on all day while doing housework.
B. Using a smartphone app to learn a new language.
C. Letting a family member manage online tasks for you.
D.Spending hours swiping through TikTok videos.
16. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Dangers of Digital Dementia B.Keep Away from Screens
C.A New Way to Cure Ageing Brains D.Technology Helps Ageing Brains

The meaning of active listening
Active listening means listening to people carefully. It also means watching their body language,like facial(面部的)expressions or gestures(手势),to understand how they feel. Annie, an 11-year-old reader of Week Junior, explains what it means to her, “When my friends tell me something important,I listen to what they are trying to say. I can tell whether they're upset or happy by their voices and facial expressions. This makes me feel like I understand them better.”
The reasons for being active listeners
When you listen to your friends without cutting in or giving your own opinions, it shows that you value what they're saying-even when you don't agree. This not only helps avoid mistakes but also strengthens(加强)friendships.Samaritans is a charity(慈善机构)that supports people by listening to their worries. It says,“Listening to people makes them feel valued and understood."
The ways to be active listeners
Listen to your friends carefully, and avoid jumping in with your own thoughts and feelings. If you
