Ethan had always been the slowest runner in his class. Every PE lesson was painful — when his classmates ran fast ahead, he usually stayed behind.
The school’s yearly running race was coming. Many students advised Ethan to give up even before trying. “You don’t have to run if you’re just going to come in last,” his friend Jake said, trying to be kind. But Ethan made a decision. “I don’t mind being the last one,” he said. “I just want to finish.”
On the race day, the starting gun went off, and all the students ran forward. Within minutes, Ethan was left far behind. It was difficult for him to breathe and his muscles ached, but he kept running. By the halfway mark, most runners had already crossed the finish line. Then people started to leave, thinking the race was over. But Ethan was still there. Although his legs shook and sweat ran down from his face, he didn’t give up. Then, something unexpected happened. The head teacher, who had been about to leave, noticed Ethan. “We still have one more player!” he said after picking up the speaker. Many turned back. They stood by the track, cheering as Ethan kept going. He looked so tired, but the encouraging sound pushed him on. When he finally reached the end — last place — everyone cheered loudly. The head teacher said, “Being last doesn’t mean you lost. It shows that when others would choose to give up, you still have the courage to keep going.”
That day, Ethan learned something important: Success isn’t about being the fastest or the strongest — it’s about refusing to give up. And failure? It isn’t the end — it’s part of the journey.
14. What can we learn about Ethan from his words “I just want to finish” in Paragraph 2?
A. He thought he could win the race.

D. Ethan gave up halfway because his legs shook and sweat ran down his face.
16. What did Ethan learn from the experience?
A. Success comes from being faster than others.
B. True success lies in refusing to give up.
C. Failure is a dead end without a way out.
D. Only the first-place winners deserve respect.
17.What is the best title for this passage?

A bell rings at 7 p.m. every evening in Mohityache Avadgaon village, in India, telling people that it is time for everyone to turn off screen devices (设备), like televisions and mobile phones. At 8:30 p.m., the bell rings the second time, telling the 3,000 villagers that screen-free time is over. The leaders of the village introduced it so that young people could focus on their homework and not be affected by funny videos or phone messages. However, some say that a screen simply allows people to get information — it is not harmful in itself. A person can decide for themselves when to put down a device. So should you set limits (限制) on screen time?
Yes-screen time should be limited
Phones, computers and TV are great ways for getting information and lots of fun. However, they can be addictive (使人成瘾的) and some people need help to break from them. Even if people are chatting on their phone or playing online games together, they can still feel lonely. Screen-free time means people can connect with family and friends in the real world. It’s also a great chance for people to go outside and be active, which is good for their health. Too much screen time can lead to other problems, such as not sleeping properly and being short on creativity.
No-people can manage their screen time
Through devices like phones and computers, people can find answers to many questions. Screen time can be productive — you can read great works of literature, discover wonderful facts or read about important things happening in the world. It is great for homework and curious minds. Electronic devices also allow friends and family to stay in touch. Most people naturally take screen breaks, for example when they eat or exercise. People should be free to judge for themselves how much screen time they should have.
Now that you’ve read a lot about it, tell us what you think on the website theweekjunior.co.uk/polis. Choose YES if you think screen time should be limited, or NO if you don’t. We will show the result next week.
18. How does the writer begin the passage?
A. By comparing examples.
B. By giving reasons.
C. By telling a real event.
D. By listing large numbers.
19. What can be inferred (推断) from Paragraph 2?
A. Having time away from screens could improve sleep quality.
B. People feel less lonely when playing online games.
C. Getting information from phones is harmful.
D. Creativity has nothing to do with screen time.
20. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “productive” in Paragraph 3?
A. Widely accepted and used for a long time.
B. Doing or achieving a lot.
C. Not interesting and boring.
D. Full of new, exciting or dangerous experiences.
21. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Screen devices are harmful and should be stopped completely.
B. Different people have different opinions on screen time limits.
C. The Indian village sets a good example of limiting screen time.
D. Screen time helps students do homework and get information.
D
Imagine a robot that can learn to perform tasks just by watching humans. This is no longer a scene from a science fiction movie — it is becoming a reality.
Scientists have developed a new type of AI-powered robot that can watch human actions and then imitate(模仿) them. For example, if a person shows the robot how to fold a shirt or open a door, the robot can learn to do the same thing after watching only a few times. This technology is called “imitation learning.”
Unlike traditional robots that need to be programmed with exact instructions for every single movement, imitation learning allows robots to learn more naturally. The robot uses cameras and sensors to record human movements. Then, its AI system breaks down these movements into simple steps and stores them as “skills”. Later, the robot can reuse these skills in similar situations.
This technology has many practical uses. In hospitals, robots could learn to help doctors with simple tasks like handing over medical tools. In factories, they could quickly learn new production tasks without being reprogrammed. At home, they could learn to help with housework like cleaning or cooking.
However, there are still challenges. Sometimes the robot makes mistakes because it doesn’t fully understand why a human performs a certain action. For example, if a person taps a door before opening it, the robot might copy the tapping even if it’s unnecessary. Scientists are now working on helping robots understand the purpose behind each action, not just the action itself.
Despite these challenges, imitation learning represents a big step forward. In the future, we may have robots that learn as flexibly as humans do — and that could change the way we live and work.
22. What is “imitation learning” according to the passage?
A. A robot that can program itself without any help.
B. A technology that allows robots to learn by watching humans.
C. A new type of computer that stores human movements.
D. A science fiction film about intelligent robots.
23. How is an imitation learning robot different from a traditional robot?
A. It can think like a human.
B. It does not need cameras or sensors.
C. It can only be used in hospitals and factories.
D. It learns naturally without exact instructions for every movement.
24. What does the example of “tapping a door before opening it” in Paragraph 5 show?
A. Robots can observe and learn faster than human beings.
B. Robots can only learn actions that have a clear purpose.
C. Robots need to be programmed with exact instructions for every single movement.
D. Robots might perform meaningless movements when they fail to work out the true intention.
25. What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of imitation learning?
A. Worried — it may cause problems for humans.
B. Uninterested — it is not a useful technology.
C. Hopeful — it could greatly change our lives.
D. Doubtful — it will never work properly.

One day, Andy was on a business trip. When he was walking past a village, he saw many people doing their work busily in a large field. At that moment, a young man who sat by the road caught his attention.
Andy wondered why the young man was free in a busy season. He was very curious, so he decided to go up and ask, “Have you grown your vegetables?”
The young man shook his head and sighed, “Not yet! I am worrying about the weather. If there is a storm, my vegetables may be destroyed. If it is too cold, the seeds may not come out from the ground at all. If it is too hot, the seeds may even go bad in the soil.”
Andy nodded his head and asked again, “Then, have you grown rice?” The young man thought for a while, and answered, “Not yet. I must be careful about the birds. They may eat the rice. I can’t take that risk.”
“So, what have you grown then?” Andy asked in surprise.
The farmer replied, “I haven’t grown anything. I am waiting for the best time! I must make sure that nothing is going to destroy my plants.”
Of course, the best time never came. The young man didn’t get anything from the field at last. In our life, many people may have the same problem. Though they have dreams, they don’t take action because they worry too much about the things that haven’t come yet. They always worry about the difficulties in the future. However if they don’t do anything, how can they achieve their dreams?
Always remember to keep an old saying in mind: Procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time.
54. Where did Andy see the young man?
55. Why didn’t the young man grow any vegetables or rice?
56. Which do you think is more important: waiting for the perfect moment or taking action now? Why?

Short Videos Are the Thief of Time
Short videos are the thief of time. I strongly agree with this idea because short videos are designed to catch people’s attention easily, making us spend hours watching without noticing time passing by.
Last weekend, I planned to finish my English homework in the morning. But I opened a short-video app for a 10-minute break. Funny videos attracted me so much that I kept watching till noon. I wasted the whole morning and had to finish homework in a hurry in the afternoon.
To avoid this trouble, we can set a timer before watching videos and put our phones away when we have important tasks to do.
Let’s stop letting it steal our time and start taking action today!
