David felt so 4 ___ that he didn't want to tell anyone about it. He thought people would blame him for being weak. But one day, his teacher noticed that something was wrong.

How AI Is Changing Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more important in our daily lives. In schools, AI is used to create 1 (person) learning plans for each student. This makes education much 2 (easy) than before because the system can adjust to each learner's pace. A good 3 (teach) can use AI tools to check students' homework quickly and give instant feedback. Some students may find it 4 (excite) to learn with the help of AI because the lessons feel like games.
However, there are also some challenges. Students should not depend 5 (complete) on AI to do their thinking for them. They need to develop their own problem-solving skills. Many education experts believe that 6 (confident) in learning comes from hard work, not just from using smart tools. When students work in groups, they often encourage 7 (they) to ask more questions and think more deeply. According to a recent report, more than 80 8 (percent) of schools in big cities have already started using AI in their classrooms. The future of education is certainly bright with the help of technology.

A篇:信息匹配(5题,每题2分,共10分)
阅读下面七位学生的烦恼描述,将其与右侧合适的建议进行匹配。
Problems
Advice
1. I'm a shy person and I have trouble making new friends at school. Everyone else seems to have their own groups already. I feel so lonely during lunch breaks. What can I do to fit in? 2. I've been trying to lose weight for months, but nothing works. I exercise every day and eat less, but I just can't seem to drop any pounds. I feel so disappointed and want to give up.
3. My parents are always comparing me with my cousin who gets straight A's. They say things like "Why can't you be more like her?" This makes me feel really bad about myself. I'm trying my best but it's never enough for them. 4. I can't stop looking at my phone. I check it every few minutes — messages, videos, games. My parents say I'm addicted, and my grades are dropping. I know I need to change, but I just can't help it.
5. My younger brother always messes up my room and takes my things without asking. When I tell my parents, they say "He's just a kid, you need to be more understanding." I'm so annoyed and don't know what to do.
A. Try turning your phone off completely during study time. Put it in another room if necessary. Use a traditional alarm clock to wake up. When you feel the urge to check your phone, take three deep breaths first. You'll be surprised how much more you can get done.
B. Start by doing something small and kind for someone every day. It could be holding the door, giving a compliment, or sharing your snack. Join clubs that match your interests — you'll meet people who like the same things. Remember that friendships take time to build, and being yourself is the most important thing. C. Keep a simple food and exercise diary for a full month. Write down everything you eat and all your activities. Compare your records with healthy guidelines online. Also, remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so the scale may not tell the whole story. Take measurements of your waist and arms instead.
D. I'm sorry to hear that. Comparison can be really hurtful. Try having an honest talk with your parents. Explain how their words make you feel and share your own goals with them. Show them your improvement in areas you care about. Everyone has different strengths, and you are valuable just as you are.
E. Consider inviting your brother to do fun activities together. When you have a good relationship, he'll be more likely to respect your things. Set up a "borrowing system" where he has to ask first. Talk to him nicely about how his actions affect you. Sometimes younger siblings just want your attention.

The Power of a Second Chance
When Kevin was in eighth grade, he was known as the "class clown." He would make funny noises during lessons, hide his classmates' textbooks, and once even put a plastic spider in the teacher's coffee cup. Everyone thought Kevin was just having fun, but the teachers saw it differently. He had been given three warnings already, and the principal said, "One more trouble, and you're out."
Then came the day that changed everything. During a math test, Kevin saw his friend Tom copying answers from another student's paper. Without thinking, Kevin called out loudly, "Teacher, Tom is cheating!" The whole class turned to look. Tom's face turned bright red. After the test, Tom refused to speak to Kevin. "You are such a traitor!" Tom shouted. "We were friends, and you just ruined everything!" For the first time, Kevin felt truly awful. He hadn't meant to hurt Tom — he just thought he was doing the right thing.
The next morning, Kevin found a note on his desk. It read: "Kevin, I saw what happened yesterday. You did the right thing, even though it cost you a friend. That takes real courage. Please come to my office during lunch break. — Mr. Johnson, Principal."
Kevin's heart sank. He was sure he was going to be expelled. But when he arrived at the office, Mr. Johnson smiled and said, "Sit down, Kevin. I'm not going to punish you. I watched you during that exam, and I saw you choose honesty over popularity. That is exactly the kind of character this school values. However, I also noticed that you often seek attention through silly behaviors. What if you used that energy to help others instead?"
That conversation changed Kevin's life. He started volunteering at the school library, helping younger students with their reading. He organized a talent show and even started a "buddy system" for new students. Within three months, he had become one of the most respected students in school. Tom apologized for calling him a traitor, and they became friends again.
"Sometimes," Kevin later told his classmates, "our biggest mistakes can become our greatest opportunities. All it takes is one person willing to give us a second chance — and the courage to take it."
1. What was Kevin known as in eighth grade?
A. A top student B. A class clown C. A school bully D. A library helper

3. How did Kevin feel when he received the note from the principal?

How to Build a Better You
Everyone wants to improve themselves, but many people don't know where to start. The journey to becoming a better person begins with small, daily actions. Here are some practical steps that can help you on your way.
First, learn to 1 ___ your emotions instead of letting them control you. When you feel angry or upset, take a moment to breathe deeply before you respond. This simple habit can 2 ___ you from saying things you might regret later. Many people who have trouble with their temper find that counting to ten really works.
Second, be kind to yourself. Nobody is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. Instead of feeling 3 ___ of your failures, treat yourself with the same sympathy you would show a good friend. Remember that every mistake is a learning 4 ___. When you mess something up, ask yourself: "What can I learn from this?" rather than "Why am I so stupid?"

This habit can 5 ___ your mood and help you focus on the positive parts of life. Over time, you will find yourself feeling less stressed and more satisfied.
Finally, don't be afraid to ask for help. Whether you're dealing with bullying, pressure from school, or just feeling sad, reaching out to others is a sign of strength, not weakness. You can talk to your parents, teachers, or call a helpline. Sometimes, just 6 ___ your feelings with someone who cares can make a huge difference.

A Teenager's Guide to Managing Screen Time
Do you often find yourself scrolling through your phone for hours without noticing how time flies? You are not alone. A recent study found that teenagers spend an average of seven hours a day on screens — that's more time than they spend sleeping! While technology brings many benefits, too much screen time can affect our health, sleep, and even our relationships.
Dr. Emma Chen, a child psychologist at the City Health Center, has been researching this problem for the past five years. She says that the key is not to cut out screens completely, but to use them wisely. "We need to manage our digital habits, just like we manage our diets," Dr. Chen explained in an interview. "A small amount of screen time can be fun and educational. But when it becomes an addiction, that's when problems start."
The good news is that there are simple ways to take back control. Many teenagers have successfully reduced their screen time by following these steps:
First, set clear boundaries. Decide that you will not use your phone during meals or after 9:00 p.m. Put your phone in another room while you are doing homework. Second, replace screen time with real-world activities. Instead of watching videos online, try reading a book, going for a walk, or having a face-to-face conversation with your family.
Third, use technology to help you. There are many apps that can track your screen time and remind you to take breaks. Some even allow you to set daily limits. Finally, find an accountability partner. This could be a parent, a sibling, or a friend who is also trying to reduce their screen time. You can check in with each other and encourage each other to stay on track.
The City Health Center has also launched a new helpline called "Digital Balance" for teenagers who need help managing their screen time. The helpline operates every weekday from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and trained counselors are ready to offer advice and support.
Dr. Chen believes that with the right strategies, every teenager can develop a healthier relationship with technology. "Remember," she says, "you are in charge of your phone. Your phone should not be in charge of you."

Dear David,
I'm sorry to hear that you're going through such a difficult time. But please remember that everyone faces challenges, and it's never too late to become a better me.
Here is some advice for you. First, try to reduce your game time. Set a daily limit and use an alarm to remind yourself. You could also put your phone in another room while studying. Second, talk to your parents calmly. Tell them you understand they care about you and you want to improve. A sincere conversation can heal many misunderstandings. Third, join a club at school that interests you. It's a great way to meet new people who share your hobbies. You might hit it off with someone!
Remember, change doesn't happen overnight, but every small step counts. I believe you can make it!
Yours sincerely,
