By my early 40s, I had attempted all the hobbies meant to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken an improv (即兴表演) class, started learning a new language, and given yoga a second chance. Then, at the height of my despair, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.
“But you’re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. Yet I was determined to give it a try. I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. But this time, the exact same things that had made me escape the studio as a 10-year-old now brought me joy. And though I’d thought my classes to be physically demanding, I hadn’t expected that my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. When I sighed over my lack of grace in the seemingly simple act, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, it’s about striving for perfection.
Slowly, I started becoming more comfortable with the body in the mirror. My posture still needs work, my jumps are never as high as they feel. But it encourages me that my body isn’t stiff and still functions well. Instead of noticing only the signs of aging, I am now amazed at what my body is capable of. As for the imperfections? They’re part of being alive.
Eight years into my ballet classes, I’m what you would call a lifelong advanced beginner. At the age of 50, I am finally a ballerina, though not the kind that anybody would pay to see on stage. I kept on dancing. Because when I do my daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible.
19. Why did the author finally attend the ballet class?
A. To follow the fashion. B. To lift her spirits up.
C. To keep a slim figure. D. To seek like-minded friends.
20. What was the author’s dancing experience like?
A. Tough but rewarding. B. Challenging and fruitless.
C. Demanding but heartwarming. D. Comforting and enjoyable.
21. What encourages the author to persist in dancing according to paragraph 3?
A. Her perfect movements. B. The teacher’s strictness.
C. The focus on being alive. D. Her still flexible condition.
22. What message does the passage want to express?
A. Better late than never. B. Better to strive than to arrive.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Where there's a will, there's a way.
C
Across the U.S., teenagers fed up with inaction on climate change are making their voices heard by leading a movement to green their schools. Upgrades like solar panels, LED lighting, and rainwater collection systems, are designed to reduce carbon footprint, cut costs, and turn campuses into living laboratories for environmental education.
Ila Coleman, 17, from Grant High School in Portland, first participated after learning her school spent $32,000 annually on electricity. “That money could be used for textbooks, lab equipment, or teacher salaries,” she said. Coleman and her classmates formed the Green Grant Club and presented energy-saving proposals to their school board. Thankfully, their efforts paid off. The school’s energy bills dropped by 35%, and carbon emissions fell by 28%.
The club now leads monthly workshops on recycling and climate science, and even teams up with local environmental groups to plant trees on campus. Students used to ask, ‘What can one do about climate change?’ Now they’re seeing positive results from their own actions.
The movement is becoming popular. In Austin, Texas, a group of middle schoolers successfully pushed for solar-powered charging stations in their cafeteria. “The passion and creativity of these young activists are remarkable,” said environmental scientist Dr. Lena Torres. “Schools are ideal places for climate action. When students see solar panels on their roof or learn how to track energy use, they’re more likely to adopt green habits at home.”
Despite some challenges like funding and concerns about upfront costs, students have found creative solutions in the community: organizing fundraising events and partnering with local businesses for donations. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed, with some states now funding to support green changes.
For the teen activists, the work is personal. “We’re the ones who will inherit this planet,” said Rivera. “We can’t wait for adults to fix it. We have to start now! All it takes is courage to speak up and work together.” For these young climate leaders, the classroom isn’t just a place to learn—it’s a perfect place to lead change.
23. Why was the Green Grant Club set up?
A. To improve the rainwater collection systems.
B. To meet the expectations of the school board.
C. To update lab devices for scientific experiments.
D. To promote an environmentally friendly campus.
24. What does the author illustrate by mentioning the students in Austin?
A. The role of the school. B. The future path.
C. The united efforts nationwide . D. The popularity of the movement.
25. In what way did the community support the teens’ work?
A. Offering government funding. B. Advertising their changes.
C. Making charitable contributions. D. Holding business workshops.
26. How did Rivera think of their movement?
A. It keeps the planet as it is. B. It shows no pains, no gains.
C. It takes courage and teamwork. D. It contributes to classroom learning.
D
Imagine a person who has lost their sight being able to see again. Sounds like science fiction, right? But Neuralink, Elon Musk’s company, whose mission is to connect the human brain with computers, plans to implant tiny chips in the brain to help treat various conditions, including paralysis, hearing loss, and now, blindness. The goal? To help blind people see.
The new device, Blindsight, specifically intended for people who have completely lost their sight, is creative. Rather than curing eye diseases directly, the small, implantable chip that “sees” the world around it like a camera, connects directly to the part of the brain that controls movement or receives sensory information. Using sensors, chips and special software, it sends signals straight to the brain, allowing a person to sense the world in a new way.
As a result, the person receives “digital vision”. It won’t be the same as natural sight, but it may allow the user to sense light, movement, shapes, and even, potentially, faces. Over time, the brain might learn to interpret these signals more effectively, like learning a new language.
But there is still a long way to go. First, the company needs to ensure the technology is safe and truly works. Plus, any brain surgery carries risks. While Neuralink uses a specialized robot to perform the operation with surprising accuracy (精确性), potential risks can’t be removed. Other important questions like “What happens if the chip breaks?” “Are we ready to connect our thoughts to machines?” are what the upcoming research will aim to answer. And there’s still room for significant improvements, including the ability to see in different wavelengths.
Despite the concerns, Blindsight is a major leap forward for the future of technology. If successful, brain implants could help with many other conditions, like memory loss, depression, or even enhancing learning. The journey to turn this science fiction into a safe, functional reality is only just the beginning.
27. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The working principle of the device. B. The advantages of the invention.
C. The composition of the equipment. D. The importance of the tiny chip.
28. What may the underlined phrase “digital vision” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A natural ability to see in the dark.
B. An operation for curing eye diseases.
C. A software used to record visual memories.
D. A sight formed by brain-interpreted signals.
29. What is stopping Blindsight from being sold?
A. Poor image quality. B. Unconfirmed safety.
C. Disconnected network. D. Occasional breakdown.
30. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage??
A. Blindsight: An End to Memory Loss
B. A Tiny Chip: A Blessing for the Blind
C. Digital Technology: Turning Sci-Fi Into Reality
D. The Future of AI: Connecting Thoughts to Machines

Your brain works hard all day, even actively while you sleep. To keep it functioning well and protect your memory as you age, giving it the right fuel matters more than you might think. 31
Fatty Fish
About 60 percent of your brain is made of fat. Fatty fish like salmon and sardines provide healthy fats that help build and maintain brain cells. 32 Studies show that people who eat fatty fish regularly have a lower risk of memory loss as they age.
Leafy Greens and Berries
Vegetables like spinach and kale are full of nutrients that protect brain cells from damage. One study found that people who ate leafy greens daily had memory skills equal to those 11 years younger. 33 Their bright colors come from plant compounds that improve blood flow to the brain and reduce inflammation.
Whole Grains and Nuts
Whole grains such as oats and brown rice give your brain a steady supply of energy. Nuts like walnuts and almonds are rich in healthy fats and vitamin E, both of which help protect brain cells.
Eggs
Eggs, especially the yolks, are an excellent source of choline (胆碱), a nutrient that helps with memory and communication between brain cells. 34 It’s also an easy and affordable way to support your brain health.
35 Add fatty fish twice a week, a serving of leafy greens every day, and some nuts or berries as snacks. Your brain will thank you for years to come.
A. Berries offer similar benefits in a sweeter form.
B. Eating one a day is a simple way to get this important nutrient.
C. Small, consistent changes to your diet can make a big difference.
D. They are especially rich in a type of healthy fat known as DHA.
E. Focus on adding more of these brain-friendly foods to your meals.
F. This is why fatty fish is considered one of the best foods for your brain.
G. Experts agree that the following certain foods can really help keep your mind sharp.
