Have you ever noticed that some people can learn a new language easily while others struggle? Scientists have been studying this question for years, and they have found some interesting answers.
First, the age factor matters. Children's brains are like sponges—they absorb new information quickly. This is why young children can learn a second language almost without effort. However, this doesn't mean adults can't learn. Adults have better learning strategies and self-discipline.
Second, the amount of exposure is important. People who live in a country where the language is spoken learn faster than those who only study it in a classroom. This is because they hear and use the language every day.
Third, motivation plays a key role. Learners who have a strong reason to learn—such as studying abroad or making foreign friends—tend to progress faster than those who learn just because they have to.
Finally, making mistakes is part of the process. Many language learners are afraid of speaking because they don't want to make errors. But according to Dr. Susan Park, a language expert, "Mistakes are not failures—they are stepping stones. Every time you make a mistake, your brain learns something new."
1. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To explain why language learning is hard.
B. To introduce the topic of language learning.
C. To compare children and adults.
D. To give advice on learning languages.
1. What advantage do children have in language learning according to the passage?
A. They have better learning strategies.
B. They absorb new information quickly.
C. They are more self-disciplined.
D. They study harder than adults.
1. What does the underlined word "exposure" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. The experience of being in a situation.
B. The act of hiding from something.
C. The amount of money spent.
D. The time spent on exams.
1. According to Dr. Susan Park, what should language learners do about mistakes?
A. Avoid making any mistakes. B. See mistakes as learning opportunities. C. Feel ashamed of their mistakes. D. Give up if they make too many mistakes.
1. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Why Children Learn Faster
B. The Secrets of Language Learning
C. How to Study Abroad
D. The Best Age to Learn a Language
C
The Great Wall of China is one of the most famous structures in the world. But how much do you really know about it?
Many people believe that the Great Wall can be seen from space with the naked eye. This is actually a myth. Astronauts have confirmed that it is very difficult to see the Wall from space without special equipment.
The construction of the Wall was not completed in a single dynasty. It was built over many centuries, starting from the 7th century BC. Different sections were built by different emperors to protect their territories from invaders. The most famous sections were built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
The Wall is not a single continuous wall. It is actually a series of walls and fortifications that stretch over 21,000 kilometers. Some sections are made of brick and stone, while others are made of earth and wood.
Contrary to popular belief, the Wall did not always succeed in keeping invaders out. History records several cases where enemy armies managed to break through. However, the Wall did serve as an important communication system. Soldiers stationed along the Wall could send signals using smoke during the day and fire at night.
Today, the Great Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It attracts millions of visitors every year. However, some sections are in danger of falling apart due to weather damage and human activities. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect this amazing structure for future generations.
1. What does the writer say about seeing the Great Wall from space?
A. It is easy to see with the naked eye.
B.It is a myth that you can see it easily.
C. Astronauts can always see it clearly.
D. It is impossible to see from space.
1. When did the construction of the Great Wall begin?
A. During the Ming Dynasty.
B. In the 7th century BC
C. About 1,000 years ago.
D. In the 20th century.
1. What was the main purpose of building the Great Wall?
A. To attract tourists.
B. To protect territories from invaders.
C. To serve as a communication system.
D. To show the power of emperors.
1. Why does the writer mention that "some sections are in danger of falling apart"?
A. To prove that the Wall is not well built.
B. To call attention to conservation efforts.
C. To explain why visitors should not go there.
D. To show that the Wall is no longer useful.

In a small town in Japan, there is a cat named Tama who works as a stationmaster. Yes, you read that correctly—a cat with a job.
Tama was a stray cat who lived near Kishi Station. In 2007, the railway company was facing financial difficulties. The station was about to close due to a lack of passengers. Then a railway official had an unusual idea: why not make Tama the stationmaster?
Tama's job was simple. She wore a special uniform and greeted passengers as they passed through. Her presence attracted attention. Soon, people started coming from all over Japan just to see the cat stationmaster. The station became a tourist attraction. Souvenir shops opened nearby. The number of passengers increased by 10% in just one year.
But Tama's influence went beyond business. Her story brought joy to many people. In a country where work stress is high, seeing a cat happily doing her "job" reminded people to find happiness in simple things.
Tama passed away in 2015 at the age of 16, but her legend lives on. A bronze statue of her stands at the station, and a new cat named Nitama ("Tama the Second") has taken over the position.
The story of Tama shows us that sometimes the most unexpected solutions can solve the biggest problems. As one visitor put it, "I came here to see a cat, but I left with a lesson about finding joy in everyday life."
1. Why was Kishi Station about to close in 2007?
A. Because the building was too old.
B. Because there were not enough passengers.
C. Because the railway company went bankrupt.
D. Because there was no stationmaster.
1. What effect did Tama have on Kishi Station?
A. The station closed anyway.
B. The number of passengers increased.
C. The station became a museum.
D. People stopped using the station.
1. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Tama was trained to be a stationmaster from birth.
B. Tama's story continues to inspire people after her death.
C. The railway official regretted making Tama the stationmaster.
D. Tama earned a lot of money for her work.
1. What is the main message of this passage?
A. Cats are smarter than humans.
B. Unusual ideas can solve big problems.
C. Railway stations need animal workers.
D. Japan has the best train system.

In an age of smartphones and social media, a growing number of young people are choosing to disconnect. This movement is called "digital minimalism"—the practice of reducing screen time and focusing on what truly matters.
Li Wei, a 17-year-old student from Beijing, decided to try digital minimalism after realizing he spent over six hours a day on his phone. "I felt like I was living my life through a screen," he said. "I would scroll through videos for hours and feel empty afterwards."
Li Wei started by turning off all notifications except for calls and messages from family. Then he set a rule: no phone during meals and no phone in the bedroom. Finally, he deleted social media apps from his phone and only used them on his computer for 30 minutes a day.
The results surprised him. In the first week, he felt anxious and kept reaching for his phone. But after two weeks, he started to notice changes. He had more time to read, to talk with his parents, and to go outside. "I feel more focused and less stressed," he says. "I'm not missing anything important—I'm just living my own life now."
Digital minimalism doesn't mean throwing away your phone. It means being intentional about how you use technology. As Li Wei puts it, "The goal is not to use less technology. The goal is to use it better."
1. Is digital minimalism about completely giving up technology?
1. How did Li Wei feel in the first week of his experiment?
1. What specific steps did Li Wei take to practice digital minimalism? (Give at least two)
1. If you wanted to reduce your screen time, what rule would you set for yourself and why? (about 30 words)

Have you ever felt nervous when speaking English in front of others? If so, you are not alone. Many English learners face this problem. It's called "foreign language anxiety."
I still remember my first English speech competition. My hands were shaking, and my heart was beating fast. When I stood on the stage, I forgot everything I had prepared. I stood there, not knowing what to say. The silence felt like forever.
But then I took a deep breath and told myself, "It's OK to make mistakes." I started to speak slowly. I didn't use difficult words—just simple sentences. To my surprise, people were listening carefully and nodding. When I finished, they clapped warmly.
That experience taught me an important lesson. Fluency doesn't mean perfection. It means being able to express yourself clearly. Now, whenever I feel nervous about speaking English, I remember that day and tell myself, "Just speak. People care more about what you say than how perfectly you say it."
The writer introduces "foreign language anxiety," a common problem among English learners.
In the writer's first English speech competition, he felt 75 ________ and forgot everything.
By 76 ________, he managed to finish the speech and got warm applause.
The writer learned that 77 ________.
Now he faces nervousness by 78 ________.

A Lesson I Learned from Failure
Everyone experiences failure while growing up. I still remember the first time I failed an important English exam. I felt so disappointed and sad because I thought I had prepared well. For days, I kept asking myself why I didn't do better.
Then I realized that I had spent more time watching videos than actually practicing. Hard work matters more than talent. So I decided to change. I started studying English for at least 30 minutes every day. I made word cards, read English stories, and practiced speaking.
Months later, my English improved a lot. That failure taught me a valuable lesson: success comes from hard work, not luck. Now, whenever I face difficulties, I remember that failure is not the end — it is just the beginning of growth.
