A Traditional Chinese Food Festival
Aiming to showcase varieties of traditional Chinese dishes and the cultures behind them, our school held a traditional Chinese food festival last week.
During the festival, a food exhibition displayed diverse classic dishes like Beijing Roast Duck and Cantonese dim sum, each representing a unique style. After that, students got an opportunity to learn about practical cooking techniques, especially for making dumplings and noodles. Finally, international students were thrilled to make dumplings by themselves and taste them.
From my perspective, not only did the festival arouse international students’ interest in Chinese cuisine, but it also spread traditional Chinese culture.

In an effort to ease the boy’s shyness, I put down my camera and started chatting with him. I asked about his favorite exhibits at the art festival, which he described with sparkling eyes as he talked about a robot model made by the senior students. Seeing his growing excitement, I suggested he stand beside the flower bed naturally, without forcing any poses. Laughing and gesturing as he recalled interesting details, he didn’t notice that I had picked up the camera again, capturing the moment when his face was lit up by the golden sunset.
When I handed the printed photo to the boy a few days later, his face lit up with joy. He stared at the picture for a long time, his fingers gently touching the image where he was grinning widely among the blooming roses. He told me it was the first time someone had taken such a lovely photo of him, one that made him feel truly seen. This small incident taught me that the best photos are not those with perfect poses, but those that hold genuine emotions which can warm people’s hearts for a long time.

W: The Post-it note, a widely used office product, has an interesting origin in 1968. 3M scientist Spencer Silver aimed to create a super strong sticky material that could attach firmly to any surface. However, the result was surprisingly weak. It could stick to objects but peel off easily without leaving marks, and Silver put the unused invention aside. Six years later, a fellow 3M employee, Arthur Fry, struggled with paper notes falling out of his books. He recalled Silver’s weak, sticky liquid, coated small paper pieces with it and found it worked perfectly, no damage to pages. The pair teamed up and 3M named the product Post-it note through an internal contest. Officially launched in 1977, initial sales were slow as people saw no need for it. 3M then distributed free samples to US office workers and demand skyrocketed. Today, sold in over 100 countries, it proves failed experiments and daily problems can lead to life-changing inventions.

Immersive Van Gogh Exhibition Opens in Singapore
What is the exhibition about?
Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience is a large-scale digital art exhibition that brings the Post-Impressionist master’s works to life through projections, sound and interactive technology. It returns to Singapore with a notable new feature.
What is the key new feature?
A dedicated AI Studio has been added. Visitors can type a text prompt, such as “sunflowers under a starry sky,” and an artificial intelligence algorithm will instantly generate a unique digital image in Van Gogh’s distinctive style of brushstrokes and colors. This image can then be projected alongside the artist’s classic works. “It’s about participation, not just observation,” notes a curator (策展人).
What are the main sections of the experience?
• Digital Galleries: Walk through rooms surrounded by animated projections of paintings like The Starry Night and Sunflowers.
• AI Studio: Create and display your own AI-generated Van Gogh-style artwork.
• VR Journey: Use virtual reality headsets to explore the landscapes of Arles, France that inspired Van Gogh. Please note: The VR section has a separate queue and may require additional waiting time.
What are the dates and prices?
• Dates & Venue: 15 November 2025-15 May 2026, Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre.
• Ticket Price:
Adult (18-64): $32 (Weekdays) / $38 (Weekends)
Child (5-12): $18 (All days). Children under 5 enter free.
Student (13-17 or with valid ID): $22 (All days)
Senior (65+): $20 (All days)
Family Package (2 Adults + 2 Children): $88 (Weekdays only)
21. What makes the exhibition special?
A. It makes art appreciation accessible to children.
B. It values AI artwork more than human creation.
C. It stresses the commercial potential of AI artwork.
D. It prioritizes active interaction over passive viewing.
22. What seems to appeal to visitors most?
A. The stories behind Van Gogh’s paintings. B. Hands-on experiences.
C. Landscapes of Arles. D. Many artists’ masterpieces.
23. How much should a young couple with 4-year-old twins pay at least on weekdays?
A. $64. B. $86. C. $88. D. $82.

Katalin Karikó thought the call was a joke. It was 3 a.m. on October 2, 2023. Her husband answered the phone. “As someone who maintains buildings, he quite frequently gets calls for fixing this and that,” Karikó says. But this time he handed it over. “It is for you,” he said. Only half awake, Karikó picked up the phone and heard a scientist from Sweden congratulate her on winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Karikó received her bachelor’s degree in biology in 1978 and her doctorate in biochemistry in 1982 from the University of Szeged in Hungary. After graduation, she works there and also holds a position at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. As a dedicated biochemist, she has spent much of her career studying mRNA (信使核糖核酸). This molecule carries instructions from a cell’s DNA so they can be translated into proteins.
Karikó and her colleague Drew Weissman learned how to adjust that RNA. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, their findings allowed other scientists to leap into urgent action. In less than a year, scientific teams made a vaccine using mRNA. So thanks to Karikó, you may have got a life-saving vaccine to protect yourself from COVID-19.
This achievement is not just worthy of the Nobel Prize — it’s a major milestone in medical history. The Nobel Prize, the highest honor in science, comes with a gold medal carved with Alfred Nobel’s face and a generous cash prize. But its real value lies in recognizing work that changes people’s lives for the better.
Karikó’s unwavering curiosity and refusal to give up on her vision turned a once untested idea into a tool that changed how we fight diseases. This proves that scientific progress often depends on people brave enough to chase dreams that seem impossible. Her win is a tribute to perseverance, teamwork, and how basic scientific research can make a huge difference in solving the world’s most urgent problems.
24. How did Karikó feel after she answered the call?
A. Disappointed. B. Fascinated. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
25. What do we know about Karikó?
A. She was born in Sweden. B. She is a devoted biochemist.
C. She got her bachelor’s degree in the USA. D. She is in the same profession as her husband.
26. What is Karikó’s main contribution?
A. She discovered the existence of mRNA.
B. She independently developed several vaccines.
C. She found the cure for diseases by using natural mRNA.
D. She helped develop the core technology for COVID-19 vaccines.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Dedication to research leads to breakthroughs.
B. Scientific achievements bring fame in no time.
C. Curiosity is the major driver of medical progress.
D. Medical challenges can be addressed by technology.
C
Art and technology have a complex but meaningful history of working together and influencing one another. Innovations in technology have directly impacted the art world and will continue to do so.
With every new evolution in technology, art also changes. However, this doesn’t just apply to their production. The way art is viewed, shared, consumed and subsequently sold is constantly transforming too. Technology has made art far more accessible. Just like with countless other aspects of modern life, the Internet has allowed art to be consumed in a more direct way. Museums display collections online, and artists have all the tools they need at their fingertips to promote and sell their own pieces — often without the challenges that come with running a physical exhibition.
It’s clear that the relationship between art and technology has led to many exciting new pieces and techniques. Significant innovations from the past years include AI-generated art.
Is Artificial Intelligence the next great Art Movement? Without our being able to easily distinguish between human and machine creations, AI-generated art offers us a new kind of non-traditional creativity. However, new findings do not come without hesitation. Some argue that art generated through computer science is definitely not art, nor is it creative. Nevertheless, artists are continuing to experiment to combine art and technology further.
It is obvious that the art landscape is experiencing an extreme transformation as it changes with technology. These two fields may seem different — however, we have shown that there is a fate that ties these two together. With rapid technological advancements and shifting perceptions of art among artists and consumers, we can expect to see a better understanding of how these changes will affect the creative world as a whole.
28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Art doesn’t change with technology. B. Technology affects art in many ways.
C. Artists make more money than before. D. People needn’t visit galleries to enjoy art.
29. What’s the author’s answer to the question at the beginning of Paragraph 4?
A. Unclear. B. Absolutely. C. Why should I know? D. Definitely not.
30. What is the “fate” that ties art and technology?
A. The consumption of art. B. The way people enjoy and buy art.
C. The experiment of artists and consumers. D. The history of these two working together.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of art and technology?
A. Unconcerned. B. Curious. C. Negative. D. Positive.
D
As globalization weaves the world into a closer-knit community, cross-cultural exchanges have become part of daily life — especially for international students and young professionals, many of whom encounter culture shock. Often described as the confusing “cultural jet lag” that comes with stepping into an unfamiliar world, it’s usually viewed with anxiety or even fear. But when approached with the right mindset, this seemingly tough experience can turn into a precious learning journey, nurturing personal growth and deepening our understanding of different cultures.
The term “culture shock” was first put forward by anthropologist Kalervo Oberg in the 1960s, who mapped out its four typical stages: the initial “honeymoon phase” filled with excitement and curiosity, the challenging “frustration phase” marked by anxiety and loneliness, the gradual “adjustment phase” of finding one’s feet, and finally the “adaptation phase” of full acceptance. Many people get trapped in the frustration phase, seeing it as a sign that they can’t fit in. Little do they know, this is the very stage where true growth takes root — it pushes us out of our cozy comfort zones and makes us question the fixed cultural ideas we’ve always taken for granted.
One of the greatest gifts of culture shock is that it sharpens our self-awareness. When surrounded by different customs — whether in how people communicate, go about their daily lives, or view the world — we’re forced to look at our own cultural habits from a new perspective. This reflection opens our minds to new possibilities, a skill that’s more important than ever in our interconnected world. What’s more, overcoming culture shock exercises our problem-solving muscles. Adapting to a new culture means decoding unfamiliar social rules, bridging language gaps, and managing emotional ups and downs — all of which train us to be more flexible and resourceful.
In a world that celebrates cultural diversity, culture shock is no longer a threat to be avoided. Instead, it’s a gateway to growth and becoming a true global citizen. Those who embrace it, rather than shrink from it, will find themselves better able to thrive in our diverse and ever-changing world.

How to Get Over an Embarrassing Moment
Embarrassing moments are a universal human experience. While uncomfortable, they offer a chance to develop resilience (韧性). By applying a clear framework, you can handle these situations properly and even gain personal insight.
36
The most immediate and effective response is to lighten the mood with humor. For example, if you trip, you might laugh and say, “Well, I’ve always wanted to get closer to the ground!” This approach serves two purposes: it relieves your own anxiety and signals to others that it’s safe to share the laugh, potentially transforming an awkward moment into a point of connection.
Regain physical calm
Once the social moment has been addressed, turn your attention inward to manage the body’s physiological reaction. 37 . A practical technique is “box breathing”: inhale (吸气) for four seconds, hold for four, exhale for four. This practice directly fights symptoms like a racing heart and flushing (脸红), helping you restore a sense of internal balance.
Adjust your mental focus
A primary source of prolonged distress is the mistaken belief that you are the main subject of others’ attention. In reality, this is almost never the case. 38 . Most people are far more occupied with their own internal narratives. By consciously shifting your focus from perceived judgment to this factual understanding, you allow the incident’s emotional weight to dissolve (消失) rapidly.
Reflect and grow forward
To fully move forward, shift from merely “getting over” the moment to actively learning from it. 39 . For instance, intense shame triggered by a minor slip might reveal a habit of holding yourself to impossibly high standards. Recognizing this pattern is itself a breakthrough. The final step is to channel this awareness into practical change. Did you struggle to find words in a meeting? Prepare key phrases in advance next time. 40 .
A. Ease the situation with humor
B. Make a joke and move on quickly
C. This involves calming your body’s immediate stress response
D. The core task is to realize you are not the lead in others’ stories
E. In this way, these experiences build your long-term emotional resilience
F. People typically recall their own embarrassments more clearly than yours
G. The first step is to examine if your feelings arise from unfair self-judgment

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A golden haze settled over the school playground. The sun prepared to rest for the evening, and I intended to follow. Saying goodbye to my clubmates, I headed back to the dormitory, camera swinging in my hand. As the photography editor of the school newspaper, I looked forward to setting my camera aside for an evening to reflect on my busy day — I’d spent the whole afternoon running around the campus, documenting every wonderful moment of the art festival.
I wasn’t long on my way when a voice rang out behind me: “Photo, photo, photo.” A junior schoolboy followed closely, his eyes fixed on my camera with obvious longing. I breathed a tired sigh. After three hours of taking photos for costumed dancers, painters showing off their works and singers holding microphones proudly, I had no energy to press the shutter button again, no matter how eager he was.
He kept trailing me, twisting his shirt hem nervously. Catching my eye, he asked again with hope shining in his bright eyes: “Photo?” Half interested and half impatient, I stopped by the flower bed and instructed him how to pose like the performers I’d shot earlier. But as I prepared to take the photo, his eagerness suddenly shifted to shyness and fear.
No instructions could help me capture the perfect shot. Each shutter click made him stiffer, his forced smile turning wooden and unnatural. Frustrated and acutely aware of the disappointment in his eyes, I almost gave up. The boy stood alone and awkward beside the flowers, shoulders hunched like a wilted leaf — eager for a photo, yet painfully camera-shy.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In an effort to ease the boy’s shyness, I put down my camera and started chatting with him. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I handed the printed photo to the boy a few days later, his face lit up with joy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
