Well. this is actually the first time that I have ever taught in an elementary classroom, but i'm a bit stuck right now. You know, the topic I want them to research is a bit hard for pupils. I'm afraid that they won't be able to handle IT on their own. So I need new ideas on designing more effective teaching methods. mr. Carter, do you have any suggestions? Well, you should probably read this book written by J. K. Simons. He is a professor who just transferred here, lost semester, but he is popular among students for his creative teaching methods. There is an extensive range of learning approaches mentioned in the book, including approaches for team research, which might be helpful to you. You mean dividing the students into groups to do research? I've never thought of this before. How does that work? Professor Simons has already demonstrated how efficient this approach can be. Basically, he tends to increase CoOperation between students and help them develop their own voice and perspective. I'll check out the book as soon as possible.

Hello, everybody, my named and thanks for turning up to listen to me talk about my career. I hope that some of you will decide to take up nursing in the future because IT is a fantastic job. First of all, i'll tell you a little bit about how I got started. I had no idea what I wanted to do until I was about fourteen. When I was listening to a family conversation, my cousin was talking to my dad and telling him all about how much he enjoyed her work. SHE was a nurse in a busy hospital, and I thought, yeah, that's exactly what i'd like to do when I told my teachers that's what I decided. They were very encouraging. But they did say that although I had always got good Marks in english and biology, i'd have to get a little bit red math, or I wouldn't be able to do the job. Well, I must say IT wasn't easy being a student nurse. IT involved lots of late nights staying up to do my course work, but i'd known that would be like that. Anyway, I think I have one of the best jobs in the world. My sister is an account, and although he earns far more than I, I think my job is much more rewarding.

COMMUNITY READING PROGRAM
Help foster a love of reading among children in our neighborhood! The Community Reading Program brings together volunteers and young readers to create meaningful connections through books. We operate across three local libraries and two elementary schools, serving children aged 5 to 12 from diverse backgrounds.
WHAT WE DO
Volunteers serve as reading buddies, spending one-on-one time with children who need extra support. Each session lasts 45 minutes and includes shared reading, discussion, and fun literacy activities. We also organize monthly book clubs where children can explore stories together and develop critical thinking skills. During school holidays, we run special Reading Adventure events featuring storytelling, arts and crafts, and visits from local authors.
VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS
Volunteers aged 16 and over are welcome. Those under 18 must have the parent/guardian approval section signed. No teaching experience is required, but you should feel comfortable reading aloud and engaging with children. A required two-hour orientation (培训) session will be provided before your first visit. All volunteers must pass a standard background check.
TIME COMMITMENT
We ask volunteers to commit to at least one session per week for a minimum of eight weeks. Sessions are available on weekday afternoons (3:30 pm-5:00 pm) and Saturday mornings (9:00 am-12:00 pm).

My first year of high school is over and I have an enormous amount of free time. Over the school year, I have complained of being too busy. Now that I have that time, I don’t know how to use it. I miss going to school, doing group assignments and laughing with my friends. School filled me with purpose and a sense of achievement. I find that I, as well as my friends, feel sad about school coming to an end. I went on a journey to find out how to free myself from “Summer Blues”.
To get to the root of “Summer Blues,” I tried to visualize it through my inner eye, by painting it. I added different shades of blue and stormy clouds to express my thoughts through creativity. Art always helps me sort out my emotions and understand them. Plus, art is fun, and I can do it with any materials I have!
After finishing my first painting, my brain was awake, and my imagination was ticking. I knew that artists couldn’t just stay in their room, though. To discover a paintbrush’s potential, you need to take it out of its box. I then stepped into my yard. I noticed little things I had previously overlooked — the vines climbing up to reach for sunlight and the clouds shaped like bunnies and hippos. I initially didn’t notice the ant hill which I unfortunately stepped on. My sister and I burst out laughing and did a funny little dance to get the ants off our shoes. Connecting with nature allowed me to clear my head and stop worrying for a minute.
Now that I have taken action to care for myself, it is time to care for others as well. I started with something simple by donating clothes, books, and food. I also researched a cause I am passionate about — protecting the environment — and found ways to contribute. I found that using my time productively while doing good for others is another step in overcoming “Summer Blues”.
I went from feeling down to finding a new purpose in life; a purpose to find happiness for myself. I didn’t have to create happiness; I had to find it.
24.What does “Summer Blues” most probably refer to in the passage?
A.The anxiety about summer studies. B.The fear of spending summer alone.
C.The feeling of emptiness during summer. D.The dislike of outdoor summer activities.
25.The author believes that “artists couldn’t stay in their room” because ________.
A.painting outside brings people closer B.staying indoors is bad for their health
C.going outside opens up new possibilities D.painting indoors cannot express emotions
26.Which of the following would best describe the author’s personality?
A.Proactive and reflective. B.Sensitive and serious.
C.Adventurous and sociable. D.Determined and ambitious.
27.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Nature is the only cure for sadness.
B.Happiness depends on school success.
C.Free time results in negative feelings.
D.Happiness comes from taking meaningful action.
C
The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.
Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive (认知的) falling.
Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.
28.What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Playing an important role. B.Keeping people in high spirits.
C.Quickly influencing other people. D.Preventing illness from spreading.
29.What can laughter increase according to the author?
A.Cognitive ability. B.Good relationships.
C.A sense of humor. D.Happiness and trust.
30.What does the author think the old should do?
A.They should have a good rest.
B.They should play like children.
C.They should prevent cognitive falling.
D.They should take part in physical play.
31.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Humor, Laughter and Play for Health B.Always Keep Our Body Healthy
C.Have an Active and Happy Life D.Let Our Body and Mind Relax

Before he goes to bed each night, Matthew Wang logs on to DeepSeek for “therapy (治疗) sessions”.
Ever since January 2025, when the breakout Chinese AI app launched, the 28-year-old has brought his dilemmas and sorrows, including the recent death of his grandfather, to the chatbot. Its responses have resonated (共鸣) so deeply that they have at times brought him to tears. “DeepSeek has been such an amazing counsellor (咨询师). It has helped me look at things from different perspectives and does a better job than the paid counselling services I have tried,” says Matthew.
DeepSeek is a generative AI tool trained on massive amounts of information to recognise patterns. This allows it to predict things like people’s shopping habits, create new content in text and images, and also carry on conversations like a person.
The chatbot has struck a chord in China partly because it offers something unique: its AI model, R1, lets users see its “thought process” before delivering a response. While the success of DeepSeek has inspired national pride, it also appears to have become a source of comfort for young Chinese like Matthew.
Nan Jia, a business and management professor at the University of Southern California, who coauthored a paper on AI’s potential in offering emotional support, suggests that these chatbots can “help people feel heard” in ways fellow humans may not. “Friends and family may be quick to offer practical solutions or advice when people just want to feel heard and understood,” Nan says.
A young woman, Holly, who lives in Hubei province, had asked DeepSeek if she was oversharing her experiences and emotions with family and friends. In reasoning through her question, DeepSeek suggested that her worry of being an over-sharer might come from a deep desire for love. The chatbot gives itself a mental note: “Response should offer practical advice while being empathetic (同理心的).” This could include “affirming the user’s sense of self-awareness”. “When I read DeepSeek’s thought process, I felt so moved,” Holly wrote on RedNote.
The demand for mental health services has grown across the world but they remain inaccessible in parts of Asia, experts say. Fang Kecheng, a communications professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong says there is a “significant shortage” of professional psychological counselling services in China, and those available are often “prohibitively expensive” for most individuals.
Prof Nan stressed, however, that people with serious mental health conditions should not rely on these apps. “Those who have medical needs, in particular, should be seeking help from trained professionals… Their use of AI will have to be checked very closely,” she says.
32.The author mentions Matthew Wang’s experience to _______.
A.question an opinion B.challenge a career
C.illustrate a phenomenon D.make a comparison
33.What do you think is probably DeepSeek’s answer to Holly’s question?
A.“Before sharing, ask yourself: ‘Am I too emotional?’”
B.“Feeling sad when disrespected is completely understandable.”
C.“Your habit of sharing might be due to a sense of overconfidence.”
D.“It’s thoughtful of you to reflect on how your sharing impacts others.”
34.What is Prof Nan’s attitude towards AI’s emotional support?
A.Supportive. B.Objective. C.Indifferent. D.Doubtful.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are days when your mind feels like an overflowing inbox (收件箱). 35 Emotions arrive faster than you can name them. You move from task to task, but inside, your inner noise never finds a place to land.
For a long time, I tried to manage this inner noise by thinking harder, planning more or “being positive”. It rarely helped. I didn’t need more thoughts about my thoughts. 36
Only then, almost by accident, I started opening a voice-to-text tool on my phone and talking to narrate my inner life in real time. Later, I read the transcripts (文稿). At first, it was uncomfortable, like overhearing a stranger’s private conversation. 37 I stopped reading as if it were about “me” and started reading as if I were discovering a character in a story. Who is this person? What’s driving them? I call this process Write Yourself Every Day (WYED).
In that small shift, I step out of being the person inside the feeling and become the observing reader — and then the writer who can choose what comes next. 38 I’m no longer stuck in the mood of the moment. I can understand the “character”, notice my blind spots, and decide how the next page might go.
39 While those tools can be useful, they often guide you toward specific interpretations. By contrast, WYED does not. You just need 10 minutes a day, the willingness to tell the truth for a moment, and then the commitment to keep coming back, reading and authoring your story with care.
A.A new kind of space opens.
B.But gradually something shifted.
C.I chose to record my inner feelings.
D.The practice differs from AI journal apps.
E.Thoughts pile up without being answered.
F.It allows you to use tools you already have.
G.I needed somewhere for those thoughts to go.

“Look on the bright side” is one of those suggestions that people always consider 55 (inspire) but less helpful. However, new research shows that finding something of interest in a terrible situation quickly 56 (cheer) people up. Besides, looking at a challenge with humor is a good method, 57 may even be helpful in keeping depressed people 58 feeling sad.
In a study 59 (publish) earlier this year, researchers gave the participants some photos that show negative situations. Then they would describe these photos at 60 request of researchers. Those using humorous words to describe the photos 61 (find) to have fewer negative emotions and more possibilities of getting through hard times in their life than those who described the photos 62 (direct).
So there appear to be no disadvantages of looking at difficult things in your life with humor and lightness. The conclusion from the study is that for those at higher risk of depression, humor can develop an ability 63 (control) negative emotions. What’s more, humor has an extra benefit of 64 (make) others around you smile. Therefore, when you feel stressed and couldn’t focus your mind on what you are doing, finding something that can entertain you can lift your mood.

I like staying overnight at my Gramma’s house until she starts telling me how wonderful my cousin Maya is. Then it’s Maya this and Maya that until I don’t ever want to hear another word about her. That’s why I wasn’t too excited when Gramma called me to come on over. When I got there, it was worse than expected. There, in Grandpa’s big leather rocking chair, sat Maya, all dressed up and wearing fancy shoes as if she’d just been to a party.
“Surprise, Jenny!” Gramma said. “Your cousin Maya and her parents have traveled from the East Coast. Maya gets to stay with us this afternoon.” Gramma chattered (喋喋不休) about how excited she’d been for this surprise reunion, and how cousins ought to get to know each other better. Then, Gramma went off to the kitchen, leaving me stuck in the living room with Maya.
I hung my baseball cap in the closet, where my medals sparkled brightly even through the glass windows. I then set my backpack next to my football and cleats (钉鞋), smiling and nodding all the time as if I’d been waiting forever for this chance to spend an afternoon with Maya.
She was good at small talk and was chatting about how nice it was to see me again. She was taller than I’d remembered her from her last visit four years ago when we had hours of fun building caves out of Gramma’s pillows. After that, I’d heard about her only through Gramma’s tales. Maya taking piano lessons. Maya learning maths… Now Maya was here, looking great with the latest haircut and a fancy dress.

COMMUNITY READING PROGRAM
Help foster a love of reading among children in our neighborhood! The Community Reading Program brings together volunteers and young readers to create meaningful connections through books. We operate across three local libraries and two elementary schools, serving children aged 5 to 12 from diverse backgrounds.
WHAT WE DO
Volunteers serve as reading buddies, spending one-on-one time with children who need extra support. Each session lasts 45 minutes and includes shared reading, discussion, and fun literacy activities. We also organize monthly book clubs where children can explore stories together and develop critical thinking skills. During school holidays, we run special Reading Adventure events featuring storytelling, arts and crafts, and visits from local authors.
VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS
Volunteers aged 16 and over are welcome. Those under 18 must have the parent/guardian approval section signed. No teaching experience is required, but you should feel comfortable reading aloud and engaging with children. A required two-hour orientation (培训) session will be provided before your first visit. All volunteers must pass a standard background check.

My first year of high school is over and I have an enormous amount of free time. Over the school year, I have complained of being too busy. Now that I have that time, I don’t know how to use it. I miss going to school, doing group assignments and laughing with my friends. School filled me with purpose and a sense of achievement. I find that I, as well as my friends, feel sad about school coming to an end. I went on a journey to find out how to free myself from “Summer Blues”.
To get to the root of “Summer Blues,” I tried to visualize it through my inner eye, by painting it. I added different shades of blue and stormy clouds to express my thoughts through creativity. Art always helps me sort out my emotions and understand them. Plus, art is fun, and I can do it with any materials I have!
After finishing my first painting, my brain was awake, and my imagination was ticking. I knew that artists couldn’t just stay in their room, though. To discover a paintbrush’s potential, you need to take it out of its box. I then stepped into my yard. I noticed little things I had previously overlooked — the vines climbing up to reach for sunlight and the clouds shaped like bunnies and hippos. I initially didn’t notice the ant hill which I unfortunately stepped on. My sister and I burst out laughing and did a funny little dance to get the ants off our shoes. Connecting with nature allowed me to clear my head and stop worrying for a minute.
Now that I have taken action to care for myself, it is time to care for others as well. I started with something simple by donating clothes, books, and food. I also researched a cause I am passionate about — protecting the environment — and found ways to contribute. I found that using my time productively while doing good for others is another step in overcoming “Summer Blues”.
I went from feeling down to finding a new purpose in life; a purpose to find happiness for myself. I didn’t have to create happiness; I had to find it.
24.What does “Summer Blues” most probably refer to in the passage?
A.The anxiety about summer studies. B.The fear of spending summer alone.
C.The feeling of emptiness during summer. D.The dislike of outdoor summer activities.
25.The author believes that “artists couldn’t stay in their room” because ________.
A.painting outside brings people closer B.staying indoors is bad for their health
C.going outside opens up new possibilities D.painting indoors cannot express emotions
26.Which of the following would best describe the author’s personality?
A.Proactive and reflective. B.Sensitive and serious.
C.Adventurous and sociable. D.Determined and ambitious.
27.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Nature is the only cure for sadness.
B.Happiness depends on school success.
C.Free time results in negative feelings.
D.Happiness comes from taking meaningful action.
C
The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.
Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive (认知的) falling.
Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.
28.What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Playing an important role. B.Keeping people in high spirits.
C.Quickly influencing other people. D.Preventing illness from spreading.
29.What can laughter increase according to the author?
A.Cognitive ability. B.Good relationships.
C.A sense of humor. D.Happiness and trust.
30.What does the author think the old should do?
A.They should have a good rest.
B.They should play like children.
C.They should prevent cognitive falling.
D.They should take part in physical play.
31.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Humor, Laughter and Play for Health B.Always Keep Our Body Healthy
C.Have an Active and Happy Life D.Let Our Body and Mind Relax

Before he goes to bed each night, Matthew Wang logs on to DeepSeek for “therapy (治疗) sessions”.
Ever since January 2025, when the breakout Chinese AI app launched, the 28-year-old has brought his dilemmas and sorrows, including the recent death of his grandfather, to the chatbot. Its responses have resonated (共鸣) so deeply that they have at times brought him to tears. “DeepSeek has been such an amazing counsellor (咨询师). It has helped me look at things from different perspectives and does a better job than the paid counselling services I have tried,” says Matthew.
DeepSeek is a generative AI tool trained on massive amounts of information to recognise patterns. This allows it to predict things like people’s shopping habits, create new content in text and images, and also carry on conversations like a person.
The chatbot has struck a chord in China partly because it offers something unique: its AI model, R1, lets users see its “thought process” before delivering a response. While the success of DeepSeek has inspired national pride, it also appears to have become a source of comfort for young Chinese like Matthew.
Nan Jia, a business and management professor at the University of Southern California, who coauthored a paper on AI’s potential in offering emotional support, suggests that these chatbots can “help people feel heard” in ways fellow humans may not. “Friends and family may be quick to offer practical solutions or advice when people just want to feel heard and understood,” Nan says.
A young woman, Holly, who lives in Hubei province, had asked DeepSeek if she was oversharing her experiences and emotions with family and friends. In reasoning through her question, DeepSeek suggested that her worry of being an over-sharer might come from a deep desire for love. The chatbot gives itself a mental note: “Response should offer practical advice while being empathetic (同理心的).” This could include “affirming the user’s sense of self-awareness”. “When I read DeepSeek’s thought process, I felt so moved,” Holly wrote on RedNote.
The demand for mental health services has grown across the world but they remain inaccessible in parts of Asia, experts say. Fang Kecheng, a communications professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong says there is a “significant shortage” of professional psychological counselling services in China, and those available are often “prohibitively expensive” for most individuals.
Prof Nan stressed, however, that people with serious mental health conditions should not rely on these apps. “Those who have medical needs, in particular, should be seeking help from trained professionals… Their use of AI will have to be checked very closely,” she says.
32.The author mentions Matthew Wang’s experience to _______.
A.question an opinion B.challenge a career
C.illustrate a phenomenon D.make a comparison
33.What do you think is probably DeepSeek’s answer to Holly’s question?
A.“Before sharing, ask yourself: ‘Am I too emotional?’”
B.“Feeling sad when disrespected is completely understandable.”
C.“Your habit of sharing might be due to a sense of overconfidence.”
D.“It’s thoughtful of you to reflect on how your sharing impacts others.”
34.What is Prof Nan’s attitude towards AI’s emotional support?
A.Supportive. B.Objective. C.Indifferent. D.Doubtful.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are days when your mind feels like an overflowing inbox (收件箱). 35 Emotions arrive faster than you can name them. You move from task to task, but inside, your inner noise never finds a place to land.
For a long time, I tried to manage this inner noise by thinking harder, planning more or “being positive”. It rarely helped. I didn’t need more thoughts about my thoughts. 36
Only then, almost by accident, I started opening a voice-to-text tool on my phone and talking to narrate my inner life in real time. Later, I read the transcripts (文稿). At first, it was uncomfortable, like overhearing a stranger’s private conversation. 37 I stopped reading as if it were about “me” and started reading as if I were discovering a character in a story. Who is this person? What’s driving them? I call this process Write Yourself Every Day (WYED).
In that small shift, I step out of being the person inside the feeling and become the observing reader — and then the writer who can choose what comes next. 38 I’m no longer stuck in the mood of the moment. I can understand the “character”, notice my blind spots, and decide how the next page might go.
39 While those tools can be useful, they often guide you toward specific interpretations. By contrast, WYED does not. You just need 10 minutes a day, the willingness to tell the truth for a moment, and then the commitment to keep coming back, reading and authoring your story with care.
A.A new kind of space opens.
B.But gradually something shifted.
C.I chose to record my inner feelings.
D.The practice differs from AI journal apps.
E.Thoughts pile up without being answered.
F.It allows you to use tools you already have.
G.I needed somewhere for those thoughts to go.

“Look on the bright side” is one of those suggestions that people always consider 55 (inspire) but less helpful. However, new research shows that finding something of interest in a terrible situation quickly 56 (cheer) people up. Besides, looking at a challenge with humor is a good method, 57 may even be helpful in keeping depressed people 58 feeling sad.
In a study 59 (publish) earlier this year, researchers gave the participants some photos that show negative situations. Then they would describe these photos at 60 request of researchers. Those using humorous words to describe the photos 61 (find) to have fewer negative emotions and more possibilities of getting through hard times in their life than those who described the photos 62 (direct).
So there appear to be no disadvantages of looking at difficult things in your life with humor and lightness. The conclusion from the study is that for those at higher risk of depression, humor can develop an ability 63 (control) negative emotions. What’s more, humor has an extra benefit of 64 (make) others around you smile. Therefore, when you feel stressed and couldn’t focus your mind on what you are doing, finding something that can entertain you can lift your mood.

M: Actually, that’s kind of what I’m thinking of doing after the summer.

【原文】M: Mary, how did it go with preparing your lessons?
W: Well, this is actually the first time that I have ever taught in an elementary classroom, but I’m a bit stuck right now. You know the topic I want them to research is a bit hard for pupils. I’m afraid that they won’t be able to handle it on their own. So I need new ideas on designing more effective teaching methods. Mr. Carter, do you have any suggestions?
M: Well, you should probably read this book, written by J. K. Simmons. He is a professor who just transferred here last semester, but he is popular among students for his creative teaching methods. There is an extensive range of learning approaches mentioned in the book, including approaches for team research, which might be helpful to you.
W: You mean dividing the students into groups to do research? I’ve never thought of this before. How does it work?
M: Professor Simmons has already demonstrated how efficient this approach can be. Basically, it aims to increase cooperation between students and help them develop their own voice and perspective.
W: I’ll check out the book as soon as possible.

【答案】17.C 18.A 19.B 20.C
【原文】
W: Hello, everybody. My name’s Ann. Thanks for turning up to listen to me talk about my career. I hope that some of you will decide to take up nursing in the future because it is a fantastic job. First of all, I’ll tell you a little bit about how I got started. I had no idea what I wanted to do until I was about 14, when I was listening to a family conversation. My cousin was talking to my dad and telling him all about how much she enjoyed her work. She was a nurse in a busy hospital. And I thought, yeah, that’s exactly what I’d like to do. When I told my teachers that’s what I decided, they were very encouraging. But they did say that although I had always got good marks in English and biology, I’d have to get a little better at math, or I wouldn’t be able to do the job. Well, I must say, it wasn’t easy being a student nurse. It involved lots of late nights staying up to do my coursework. But I’d known it would be like that. Anyway, I think I have one of the best jobs in the world. My sister is an accountant, and although she earns far more than I do, I think my job is much more rewarding.

COMMUNITY READING PROGRAM
Help foster a love of reading among children in our neighborhood! The Community Reading Program brings together volunteers and young readers to create meaningful connections through books. We operate across three local libraries and two elementary schools, serving children aged 5 to 12 from diverse backgrounds.
WHAT WE DO
Volunteers serve as reading buddies, spending one-on-one time with children who need extra support. Each session lasts 45 minutes and includes shared reading, discussion, and fun literacy activities. We also organize monthly book clubs where children can explore stories together and develop critical thinking skills. During school holidays, we run special Reading Adventure events featuring storytelling, arts and crafts, and visits from local authors.
VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS
Volunteers aged 16 and over are welcome. Those under 18 must have the parent/guardian approval section signed. No teaching experience is required, but you should feel comfortable reading aloud and engaging with children. A required two-hour orientation (培训) session will be provided before your first visit. All volunteers must pass a standard background check.

My first year of high school is over and I have an enormous amount of free time. Over the school year, I have complained of being too busy. Now that I have that time, I don’t know how to use it. I miss going to school, doing group assignments and laughing with my friends. School filled me with purpose and a sense of achievement. I find that I, as well as my friends, feel sad about school coming to an end. I went on a journey to find out how to free myself from “Summer Blues”.
To get to the root of “Summer Blues,” I tried to visualize it through my inner eye, by painting it. I added different shades of blue and stormy clouds to express my thoughts through creativity. Art always helps me sort out my emotions and understand them. Plus, art is fun, and I can do it with any materials I have!
After finishing my first painting, my brain was awake, and my imagination was ticking. I knew that artists couldn’t just stay in their room, though. To discover a paintbrush’s potential, you need to take it out of its box. I then stepped into my yard. I noticed little things I had previously overlooked — the vines climbing up to reach for sunlight and the clouds shaped like bunnies and hippos. I initially didn’t notice the ant hill which I unfortunately stepped on. My sister and I burst out laughing and did a funny little dance to get the ants off our shoes. Connecting with nature allowed me to clear my head and stop worrying for a minute.
Now that I have taken action to care for myself, it is time to care for others as well. I started with something simple by donating clothes, books, and food. I also researched a cause I am passionate about — protecting the environment — and found ways to contribute. I found that using my time productively while doing good for others is another step in overcoming “Summer Blues”.
I went from feeling down to finding a new purpose in life; a purpose to find happiness for myself. I didn’t have to create happiness; I had to find it.
24.What does “Summer Blues” most probably refer to in the passage?
A.The anxiety about summer studies. B.The fear of spending summer alone.
C.The feeling of emptiness during summer. D.The dislike of outdoor summer activities.
25.The author believes that “artists couldn’t stay in their room” because ________.
A.painting outside brings people closer B.staying indoors is bad for their health
C.going outside opens up new possibilities D.painting indoors cannot express emotions
26.Which of the following would best describe the author’s personality?
A.Proactive and reflective. B.Sensitive and serious.
C.Adventurous and sociable. D.Determined and ambitious.
27.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Nature is the only cure for sadness.
B.Happiness depends on school success.
C.Free time results in negative feelings.
D.Happiness comes from taking meaningful action.
【答案】24.C 25.C 26.A 27.D
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者高一结束后拥有大量空闲时间却不知如何利用,因结束校园生活感到空虚难过(即“夏日忧郁”),随后作者通过一系列积极行动走出负面情绪,重新找到生活目标与快乐的故事。
【详解】24.词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Now that I have that time, I don’t know how to use it. I miss going to school, doing group assignments and laughing with my friends. School filled me with purpose and a sense of achievement. I find that I, as well as my friends, feel sad about school coming to an end. I went on a journey to find out how to free myself from “Summer Blues”.(现在有了这些时间,却不知该如何利用。我怀念上学的日子、小组作业,以及和朋友们一起欢笑的时光。学校曾让我充满目标感和成就感。如今,我和朋友们都感到难过,因为学校即将结束。于是,我踏上了一段旅程,试图摆脱“夏日忧郁”)”可知,“夏日忧郁”指的就是暑假空闲时期的空虚感受。
25.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“To discover a paintbrush’s potential, you need to take it out of its box. I then stepped into my yard. I noticed little things I had previously overlooked — the vines climbing up to reach for sunlight and the clouds shaped like bunnies and hippos. I initially didn’t notice the ant hill which I unfortunately stepped on. My sister and I burst out laughing and did a funny little dance to get the ants off our shoes. Connecting with nature allowed me to clear my head and stop worrying for a minute.(要发掘画笔的潜力,你需要把它拿出盒子。于是我走进了自己的院子。我注意到一些之前忽略的小细节——藤蔓向上攀爬,渴望阳光;还有像兔子和河马形状的云朵。起初我并没有注意到蚁丘,不幸的是踩到了它们。我和妹妹忍不住大笑起来,还跳起了一段有趣的舞蹈,把蚂蚁赶走。与自然的连接让我暂时平静下来,也停止了焦虑)”可推知,作者说“我知道艺术家不能只是待在房间里”这句话想表达的是走出去能发掘新的可能,带来不一样的收获。
26.推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“I went on a journey to find out how to free myself from “Summer Blues”.(于是,我踏上了一段旅程,试图摆脱“夏日忧郁”)”,第二段中“To get to the root of “Summer Blues,” I tried to visualize it through my inner eye, by painting it. I added different shades of blue and stormy clouds to express my thoughts through creativity. Art always helps me sort out my emotions and understand them.(为了找到“夏日忧郁”的根源,我尝试通过内心的眼睛来描绘它,用绘画表达。我加入了各种深浅不一的蓝色和乌云,以创意的方式表达自己的思绪。艺术总能帮助我梳理情绪,理解它们)”,再结合第四段中“Now that I have taken action to care for myself, it is time to care for others as well. I started with something simple by donating clothes, books, and food. I also researched a cause I am passionate about — protecting the environment — and found ways to contribute.(现在我已经开始主动关心自己,接下来也该关心他人了。我从一些简单的事情做起,比如捐赠衣物、书籍和食物。我还研究了一个我非常热衷的公益事业——保护环境,并找到了为它贡献的方式)”提到作者后续主动走进自然、投身公益的行动,可推知作者是积极主动且善于反思的。
27.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Connecting with nature allowed me to clear my head and stop worrying for a minute.(与自然的连接让我暂时平静下来,也停止了焦虑)”、第四段中“I found that using my time productively while doing good for others is another step in overcoming “Summer Blues”.(我发现,高效利用我的时间,同时做对他人有益的事,也是克服“夏日忧郁”的另一步)”和最后一段“I went from feeling down to finding a new purpose in life; a purpose to find happiness for myself. I didn’t have to create happiness; I had to find it.(我从感到低落,转变为找到了人生的新目标——为自己寻找幸福。我不必创造幸福,而是要去发现它)”可知,快乐来自于有意义的行动。

The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.
Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive (认知的) falling.
Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.
28.What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Playing an important role. B.Keeping people in high spirits.
C.Quickly influencing other people. D.Preventing illness from spreading.
29.What can laughter increase according to the author?
A.Cognitive ability. B.Good relationships.
C.A sense of humor. D.Happiness and trust.
30.What does the author think the old should do?
A.They should have a good rest.
B.They should play like children.
C.They should prevent cognitive falling.
D.They should take part in physical play.
31.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Humor, Laughter and Play for Health B.Always Keep Our Body Healthy
C.Have an Active and Happy Life D.Let Our Body and Mind Relax
【答案】28.C 29.B 30.D 31.A
【导语】文章主要论述了笑给人带来的好处和积极作用。
【详解】28.词句猜测题。根据第二段“Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness.(你有没有听过一个小孩的大笑,并且能让自己不笑?当人们之间分享笑声时,它使他们彼此更加亲密,并增加他们的幸福感。)”可知,别人大笑,你也会忍不住笑,人们之间分享笑声,这说明笑具有感染力,故画线词意为“迅速影响他人的”。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段“When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness.(当人与人之间共享笑声时,会使他们彼此更亲近,增加他们的幸福感)”可知,根据作者的说法,笑能使人们彼此更亲近,即能增进人际关系。
30.细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness.(然而,我们经常忘记的是,对于老人来说,让游戏成为他们生活的一部分就像对孩子一样重要。体育运动对老年人来说很重要,它当然有助于预防疾病)”可知,作者认为老年人应该参加体育活动。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段“The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.(你可以用幽默、笑声和玩耍来让你更健康,这个想法似乎太过简单,不真实。然而,这是真实和简单的。幽默感、笑声和玩乐在保持你的健康中起着重要的作用)”结合文章主要论述了笑给人带来的好处和积极作用。故A选项“幽默、欢笑和玩耍有益于健康”最符合文章标题。

Before he goes to bed each night, Matthew Wang logs on to DeepSeek for “therapy (治疗) sessions”.
Ever since January 2025, when the breakout Chinese AI app launched, the 28-year-old has brought his dilemmas and sorrows, including the recent death of his grandfather, to the chatbot. Its responses have resonated (共鸣) so deeply that they have at times brought him to tears. “DeepSeek has been such an amazing counsellor (咨询师). It has helped me look at things from different perspectives and does a better job than the paid counselling services I have tried,” says Matthew.
DeepSeek is a generative AI tool trained on massive amounts of information to recognise patterns. This allows it to predict things like people’s shopping habits, create new content in text and images, and also carry on conversations like a person.
The chatbot has struck a chord in China partly because it offers something unique: its AI model, R1, lets users see its “thought process” before delivering a response. While the success of DeepSeek has inspired national pride, it also appears to have become a source of comfort for young Chinese like Matthew.
Nan Jia, a business and management professor at the University of Southern California, who coauthored a paper on AI’s potential in offering emotional support, suggests that these chatbots can “help people feel heard” in ways fellow humans may not. “Friends and family may be quick to offer practical solutions or advice when people just want to feel heard and understood,” Nan says.
A young woman, Holly, who lives in Hubei province, had asked DeepSeek if she was oversharing her experiences and emotions with family and friends. In reasoning through her question, DeepSeek suggested that her worry of being an over-sharer might come from a deep desire for love. The chatbot gives itself a mental note: “Response should offer practical advice while being empathetic (同理心的).” This could include “affirming the user’s sense of self-awareness”. “When I read DeepSeek’s thought process, I felt so moved,” Holly wrote on RedNote.
The demand for mental health services has grown across the world but they remain inaccessible in parts of Asia, experts say. Fang Kecheng, a communications professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong says there is a “significant shortage” of professional psychological counselling services in China, and those available are often “prohibitively expensive” for most individuals.
Prof Nan stressed, however, that people with serious mental health conditions should not rely on these apps. “Those who have medical needs, in particular, should be seeking help from trained professionals… Their use of AI will have to be checked very closely,” she says.
32.The author mentions Matthew Wang’s experience to _______.
A.question an opinion B.challenge a career
C.illustrate a phenomenon D.make a comparison
33.What do you think is probably DeepSeek’s answer to Holly’s question?
A.“Before sharing, ask yourself: ‘Am I too emotional?’”
B.“Feeling sad when disrespected is completely understandable.”
C.“Your habit of sharing might be due to a sense of overconfidence.”
D.“It’s thoughtful of you to reflect on how your sharing impacts others.”
34.What is Prof Nan’s attitude towards AI’s emotional support?
A.Supportive. B.Objective. C.Indifferent. D.Doubtful.
【答案】32.C 33.D 34.B
【导语】本文介绍DeepSeek人工智能可为年轻人提供情感慰藉与心理疏导,弥补国内心理咨询短缺且昂贵的现状,同时专家提醒重症心理患者不可依赖AI。
【详解】32.推理判断题。根据第一段“Before he goes to bed each night, Matthew Wang logs on to DeepSeek for “therapy (治疗) sessions”.(马修・王每晚睡前都会登录深度求索AI进行“心理疗愈对话”。)”以及第二段“DeepSeek has been such an amazing counsellor (咨询师). It has helped me look at things from different perspectives and does a better job than the paid counselling services I have tried,(深度求索就像一位出色的咨询师,帮我换角度看待问题,比我体验过的付费心理咨询还要好,)”可知,作者举马修的例子是为举例说明AI充当情感慰藉的社会现象。
33.推理判断题。根据第六段“In reasoning through her question, DeepSeek suggested that her worry of being an over-sharer might come from a deep desire for love. The chatbot gives itself a mental note: “Response should offer practical advice while being empathetic (同理心的).” This could include “affirming the user’s sense of self-awareness”. (在思考她的问题时,DeepSeek指出,她担心自己过度分享,或许源于内心对爱的深切渴望。这款聊天机器人给自己留下了一条心理提示:“回应既要提供实用建议,也要富有同理心。”这可以包括“肯定用户的自我觉察意识”。)”并结合选项可知,D 项“你能反思自己的倾诉是否影响他人,心思很细腻”既共情又肯定她的自省,符合AI的回复逻辑。
34.推理判断题。根据第五段“Nan Jia, a business and management professor at the University of Southern California, who coauthored a paper on AI’s potential in offering emotional support, suggests that these chatbots can “help people feel heard” in ways fellow humans may not. (南加州大学商学与管理学教授Nan Jia曾与人合著一篇关于人工智能在情感支持方面潜力的论文。她表示,这类聊天机器人能够以人类同伴未必能做到的方式,让人们感到自己被倾听。)”以及最后一段“Prof Nan stressed, however, that people with serious mental health conditions should not rely on these apps. “Those who have medical needs, in particular, should be seeking help from trained professionals… Their use of AI will have to be checked very closely,” she says.(然而,Nan教授强调,有严重心理健康问题的人不应依赖这些应用程序。“尤其是那些有医疗需求的人,应当向受过专业训练的人士寻求帮助……他们使用人工智能的情况必须受到非常严格的监控。”她说。)”可知,Nan教授既认可AI情感陪伴的价值,又提醒不可过度依赖,态度客观理性。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are days when your mind feels like an overflowing inbox (收件箱). 35 Emotions arrive faster than you can name them. You move from task to task, but inside, your inner noise never finds a place to land.
For a long time, I tried to manage this inner noise by thinking harder, planning more or “being positive”. It rarely helped. I didn’t need more thoughts about my thoughts. 36
Only then, almost by accident, I started opening a voice-to-text tool on my phone and talking to narrate my inner life in real time. Later, I read the transcripts (文稿). At first, it was uncomfortable, like overhearing a stranger’s private conversation. 37 I stopped reading as if it were about “me” and started reading as if I were discovering a character in a story. Who is this person? What’s driving them? I call this process Write Yourself Every Day (WYED).
In that small shift, I step out of being the person inside the feeling and become the observing reader — and then the writer who can choose what comes next. 38 I’m no longer stuck in the mood of the moment. I can understand the “character”, notice my blind spots, and decide how the next page might go.
39 While those tools can be useful, they often guide you toward specific interpretations. By contrast, WYED does not. You just need 10 minutes a day, the willingness to tell the truth for a moment, and then the commitment to keep coming back, reading and authoring your story with care.
A.A new kind of space opens.
B.But gradually something shifted.
C.I chose to record my inner feelings.
D.The practice differs from AI journal apps.
E.Thoughts pile up without being answered.
F.It allows you to use tools you already have.
G.I needed somewhere for those thoughts to go.
【答案】35.E 36.G 37.B 38.A 39.D
【导语】文章主要介绍了通过语音转文字工具记录内心活动、以旁观者视角阅读反思的WYED方法,帮助人们理清思绪并获得自我掌控感。
【详解】35.上文“There are days when your mind feels like an overflowing inbox (收件箱).(有些日子里,你的大脑就像一个满得快要溢出来的收件箱)”描述思绪过多的状态。空后“Emotions arrive faster than you can name them.(情绪涌现的速度快到你来不及分辨清楚)”继续描述内心混乱。空处和前文为并列关系,具体说明思绪堆积的现象。选项E“Thoughts pile up without being answered.(思绪堆积却得不到回应)”中的“Thoughts pile up”与前文“overflowing inbox”形成呼应,“without being answered”引出后文情绪汹涌而至的困境,符合语境。
36.上文“I didn’t need more thoughts about my thoughts.(我不需要再过度纠结自己的思绪)”否定了旧方法。空后无内容,为段落结尾。空处和前文为转折关系,提出真正的需求。选项G“I needed somewhere for those thoughts to go.(我需要一个让那些思绪安放的地方)”中的“needed”与前文“didn’t need”形成转折,“somewhere for those thoughts to go”直接回应了前文思绪无处安放的痛点,为后文介绍WYED方法做铺垫,符合语境。
37.上文“At first, it was uncomfortable, like overhearing a stranger’s private conversation.(起初,这让人不适,就像无意中听到陌生人的私密谈话)”描述初始的负面感受。空后“I stopped reading as if it were about “me” and started reading as if I were discovering a character in a story.(我不再把它当作关于“我”的事来读,而是开始像发现故事中的角色那样去阅读)”描述态度的积极转变。空处和前文为转折关系,标志变化的开始。选项B“But gradually something shifted.(但渐渐地,某些东西发生了变化)”中的“But”表转折,“gradually something shifted”精准概括了从不适到接受的心理过渡,承上启下,符合语境。
38.上文“In that small shift, I step out of being the person inside the feeling and become the observing reader — and then the writer who can choose what comes next.(在这个微小的转变中,我走出了作为感受者的身份,成为了观察型读者——进而成为能选择下一步发展的书写者)”描述视角转换带来的新状态。空后“I’m no longer stuck in the mood of the moment.(我不再困于当下的情绪)”具体说明新状态的好处。空处和前文为顺接关系,说明新空间的产生。选项A“A new kind of space opens.(一种全新的空间开启了)”中的“space”呼应前文思绪需要安放之地,“opens”对应视角转换带来的可能性,与后文不再被困于情绪形成逻辑闭环,符合语境。
39.下文“While those tools can be useful, they often guide you toward specific interpretations.(虽然那些工具可能有用,但它们常引导你得出特定的解读)”通过“those tools”指代前文提到的工具,并进行对比。空后无内容,为段落结尾。空处和前文为对比关系,引出对比对象。选项D“The practice differs from AI journal apps.(这种做法不同于AI日记应用)”中的“The practice”指代前文WYED,“differs from AI journal apps”自然引出后文对“those tools”(即AI应用)的讨论,明确了比较对象,符合语境。

However, new research shows that finding something of interest in a terrible situation quickly 56 (cheer) people up. Besides, looking at a challenge with humor is a good method, 57 may even be helpful in keeping depressed people 58 feeling sad.
In a study 59 (publish) earlier this year, researchers gave the participants some photos that show negative situations. Then they would describe these photos at 60 request of researchers. Those using humorous words to describe the photos 61 (find) to have fewer negative emotions and more possibilities of getting through hard times in their life than those who described the photos 62 (direct).

The conclusion from the study is that for those at higher risk of depression, humor can develop an ability 63 (control) negative emotions. What’s more, humor has an extra benefit of 64 (make) others around you smile. Therefore, when you feel stressed and couldn’t focus your mind on what you are doing, finding something that can entertain you can lift your mood.
【答案】
55.inspiring 56.cheers 57.which 58.from 59.published 60.the 61.were found 62.directly 63.to control 64.making
【导语】文章主要介绍了新研究发现,在糟糕的情况下寻找有趣的事物或用幽默的方式看待挑战,能够快速让人振作起来,甚至有助于防止抑郁人群感到悲伤。
【详解】55.考查形容词。句意:“往好的方面看”是人们总是认为鼓舞人心但不太有帮助的建议之一。consider sth. + adj. 为固定结构,表示“鼓舞人心的”,应用形容词inspiring作补足语。
56.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:然而,新研究表明,在糟糕的情况下迅速找到有趣的事物能让人很快振作起来。finding something of interest in a terrible situation为动名词短语作主语,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式;且此处描述客观事实,用一般现在时,应填cheers。
57.考查定语从句。句意:此外,用幽默的方式看待挑战是一种好方法,这甚至可能有助于防止抑郁的人感到悲伤。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为method,关系词在从句中作主语,需用which引导。
58.考查介词。句意:此外,用幽默的方式看待挑战是一种好方法,这甚至可能有助于防止抑郁的人感到悲伤。keep sb. from doing sth. 为固定短语,意为“阻止某人做某事”,符合句意。
59.考查非谓语动词。句意:在今年早些时候发表的一项研究中,研究人员给参与者看了一些展示负面情况的照片。gave为谓语动词,空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语,study与publish之间为被动关系,需用过去分词published。
60.考查冠词。句意:然后他们会应研究人员的要求描述这些照片。at the request of...为固定短语,意为“应……的要求”。故填the。
61.考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:那些用幽默词语描述照片的人被发现比直接描述照片的人有更少的负面情绪,并且更有可能度过生活中的困难时期。Those与find之间为被动关系,且描述过去的研究结果,需用一般过去时的被动语态;主语Those为复数,be动词用were。
62.考查副词。句意:那些用幽默词语描述照片的人被发现比直接描述照片的人有更少的负面情绪,并且更有可能度过生活中的困难时期。空处修饰动词described,需用副词directly。
63.考查非谓语动词。句意:研究的结论是,对于那些抑郁风险较高的人来说,幽默可以培养一种控制负面情绪的能力。ability后常接动词不定式作后置定语,意为“做……的能力”。
64.考查非谓语动词。句意:此外,幽默还有一个额外的好处,那就是让你周围的人微笑。介词of后需接动名词作宾语。故填making。

67.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。
I like staying overnight at my Gramma’s house until she starts telling me how wonderful my cousin Maya is. Then it’s Maya this and Maya that until I don’t ever want to hear another word about her. That’s why I wasn’t too excited when Gramma called me to come on over. When I got there, it was worse than expected. There, in Grandpa’s big leather rocking chair, sat Maya, all dressed up and wearing fancy shoes as if she’d just been to a party.
“Surprise, Jenny!” Gramma said. “Your cousin Maya and her parents have traveled from the East Coast. Maya gets to stay with us this afternoon.” Gramma chattered (喋喋不休) about how excited she’d been for this surprise reunion, and how cousins ought to get to know each other better. Then, Gramma went off to the kitchen, leaving me stuck in the living room with Maya.
I hung my baseball cap in the closet, where my medals sparkled brightly even through the glass windows. I then set my backpack next to my football and cleats (钉鞋), smiling and nodding all the time as if I’d been waiting forever for this chance to spend an afternoon with Maya.
She was good at small talk and was chatting about how nice it was to see me again. She was taller than I’d remembered her from her last visit four years ago when we had hours of fun building caves out of Gramma’s pillows. After that, I’d heard about her only through Gramma’s tales. Maya taking piano lessons. Maya learning maths… Now Maya was here, looking great with the latest haircut and a fancy dress.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Glancing down at my jeans and my old sneakers, I wished I hadn’t come. A rush of shame flooded over me as I compared myself to Maya, who was smarter, prettier, and more talented than I could ever hope to be. The thought of being loved less by Gramma because of her was unbearable. “I hear you like to play football,” Maya’s words crashed through my thoughts. Astonished, I wondered how she knew about my hobby. “I hear you are the captain of your baseball team. Even better, you are always competitive in any sports activities,” she exclaimed, her eyes full of envy and admiration.
“How do you know all these things about me?” I asked. A mixture of surprise and suspicion welled up in my mind. After all, we hadn’t been in contact for four years. “Gramma always shares with me your life,” she replied with a knowing smile. It was at that moment that the invisible wall between us collapsed and a precious bond was restored. We spent the whole afternoon talking and laughing and I admired her for more than her excellence in maths and art. I finally realized Gramma was right. We truly got to reconnect and know each other better.
