Realising who you are can help you understand feelings and make friends closer. Self-awareness (自我认知) means knowing your thoughts, feelings and behavior (行为), and understanding how you fit into the world. If you are self-aware, you may know that you love playing basketball because you are good at it, and music makes you happy. Knowing what you like and dislike, what you are expert in and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and even which films to watch. Being self-aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you have more understanding for other people, too. A good way to learn about something is to ask questions. Ask yourself questions that start with “What” instead of “Why”. So if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you are arguing. Learning to be more self-aware is a skill. So try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different music. Don’t be afraid to dislike something—it may be a key part of learning more about yourself. 16. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. What self-awareness is. B. Why self-awareness is important. C. When self-awareness works. D. How to develop self-awareness. 17. Which question follows the writer’s advice to understand your problems better according to Paragraph 4? A. What mistakes did I always make? B. How will I avoid making mistakes? C. When did I make such mistakes last time? D. Why do I always make such mistakes? 18. Which of the following can replace (替代) the underlined words in the passage? A. good at B. bored with C. good with D. well in 19. What’s the message of the text? A. We should think of ourselves more. B. We should fit into the world. C. We should get to know ourselves. D. We should always ask ourselves questions. B Feng and Meng are two middle school students. Their invention, a new kind of Braille (盲文) reader, won first prize in a national competition. “We found that our city library didn’t have enough Braille books for blind people and many of the Braille books were outdated. Also, today’s Braille readers were very difficult and expensive. So, we decided to invent a new kind of Braille reader to help the blind read more books,” Feng said to the reporter. This is a user-friendly product, especially for young blind children from grades 1 to 3. Moreover, it only costs about 2,000 yuan. This is the first Braille reader that uses magnets (磁铁) to make raised dots (凸起的点). When the Braille reader is connected to a computer, it can turn words into dots. Blind people can read by touching the dots. After making their first product, Feng and Meng visited a school for the blind to get advice and improved it based on the students’ needs, like changing the size of the screen and the amount of space between the dots. “We hope the invention will be more popular in the future to help those blind people who can’t afford the Braille reader now,” Meng told Taiyuan News. 20. Why did the two students invent a new kind of Braille reader? A. To get a national prize. B. To hold a reading competition. C. To help the blind read more Braille books. D. To encourage kids to solve social problems. 21. What do we learn about the new Braille reader? A. It is big and expensive. B. It is the first to use magnets. C. It needs to be connected to a phone. D. It is designed especially for old people. 22. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The advice. B. The product. C. The school. D. The dot. 23. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Feng and Meng have high hopes for their Braille reader. B. Feng and Meng solved many social problems together. C. Feng and Meng have set up their own business as a team. D. Feng and Meng became very popular at home and abroad. C Li Wei, a 14-year-old student from Nanjing, used to fear talking in front of people. When his teacher asked him to join a school speech event, he felt unsure. “My hands would get wet just thinking about it,” he said. But instead of saying no, he chose to try. Li practised every day. He filmed his speeches, checked where he went wrong, and even asked friends for advice. Though his first try was full of mistakes, he kept trying. On contest day, Li gave a strong speech about beating fear. To his surprise, he won second prize. “I learnt that being brave isn’t about having no fear,” he said, “but about trying even when scared.” Challenges like Li’s help young people find hidden talents. A study by Youth Study found that 73% of students who tried hard things felt more sure of themselves. Facing tough tasks builds inner strength-a key skill for future wins. As expert Dr Chen says, “Real growth starts when you leave your safe place.” So, how can you begin? Start with small acts: Try a new activity, share ideas in class, or join a group. Every hard task, win or lose, teaches something useful. Remember, the aim isn’t to be perfect but to get better. 24. What do we know about Li Wei from Paragraph 1? A. He won first prize in a speech contest. B. He was initially afraid of talking in front of people. C. He always loved performing on stage. D. He is good at talking in front of people. 25. According to the passage, what does facing tough tasks help young people do? A. Avoid making mistakes. B. Find hidden talents. C. Spend less time studying. D. Become angry. 26. What is the writer’s main purpose? A. To encourage facing fears for growth. B. To warn about hard challenges. C. To list good hobbies for teens. D. To ask students to study hard. D On January 20, 2025, a Chinese company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This AI can do math problems, write computer codes, and answer questions like the best AIs in the world. But it costs much less money to build. The team used only $5.58 million (much cheaper than other AIs) and 2,048 computer parts for two months. This shows that smart ideas are better than just spending a lot of money. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use for individuals (个人), and people can even change it. On its first day, more than 19,000 computer experts around the world started using it. A German scientist said, “Using R1 experiments costs only $10, but other AIs need $300.” Even a top scientist from Meta (a big U.S. company) said, “This free AI could change the world.” U.S. companies are now worried. They say China is becoming a leader in AI very fast. Meta plans to spend $65 billion (十亿) more on AI research. A report in Nature (a famous science magazine) called R1 a “big success”, showing that good ideas are more important than expensive tools. A DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to help everyone, not just rich people.” Not only DeepSeek-R1, now we have KimiAI, DJI drone, Unitree Robotics and so on. With R1 and other high-technology products, China shows to the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 27.
