Summer presents a collection of festivals that combine fun, charity, and awareness. Here are four special celebrations happening in June:
National Go Barefoot Day (June 1)
Established after the 2004 tsunami, this day promotes barefoot walking for health benefits like stronger muscles while supporting Soles4Souls, a non-profit that has provided 19 million shoes globally. You can join barefoot activities or organize shoe collections. By simply taking off your shoes, you can improve your own health while helping children get the shoes they need.
World Oceans Day (June 8)
Oceans cover 66% of Earth and provide 50% of our oxygen, yet 8 million tons of plastic waste pollute them yearly. This day honors the ocean’s irreplaceable roles while inspiring worldwide participation. People can get involved by cleaning beaches, reducing single-use plastics, and watching educational films — turning awareness into action for a healthier planet.
Be a Kid Again Day (June 12)
This lighthearted day encourages adults to relive childhood joys — whether sliding down playground slides, building sandcastles, or rewatching classic kids’ movies. Beyond personal enjoyment, the celebration also supports meaningful causes like A Kid Again, a US non-profit organization that provides fun-filled adventures for children with life-threatening illnesses.
Helen Keller Day (June 27)
Held every year on June 27, this day honors Helen Keller (1880-1968) who became the first person with her disabilities to earn a college degree and wrote 12 books. While celebrating her amazing life, the day also recognizes all those who support the blind and deaf community through events like charity fashion shows and public readings of Keller’s inspirational works.

I was standing in line at the grocery store, scrolling through my phone, impatient to get home after a long day of teaching. Ahead of me stood an elderly man in a faded grey coat. His hands shook slightly as he counted out coins onto the counter.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered to the cashier, his voice thin and shaky. “I thought I had enough.” The cashier, a young woman who looked equally tired, sighed. “You’re short by five dollars, sir. Do you want to put something back?”
People behind me became impatient. The old man looked at his things: a carton of milk, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a small box of chocolate cookies. He slowly reached for the cookies. “I… I don’t need these. They were for my grandson, but…”
I could see how embarrassed he was. Without thinking twice, I walked forward and paid with my card. “I’ll pay for it,” I said. “Please keep the cookies.”
The man froze. He looked at me, his watery blue eyes wide with shock. “No, Miss, I couldn’t…” “It’s fine,” I smiled, hoping to ease his worry. “Consider it a gift for your grandson.” He tried to speak but choked up. He simply nodded, took his bag, and waited for me outside. When I walked out, he grabbed my hand. “You don’t know what this means. My pension (养老金) hasn’t arrived yet, and tomorrow is his birthday. Thank you.”
A week later, I was back at the same store. As I walked down the passage, a little boy ran up to me, holding a familiar box of chocolate cookies. Behind him was the old man, smiling happily. “He wanted to share one with you,” the man said.
That chocolate cookie tasted better than any fancy dessert I’d ever had. It tasted like connection. It tasted like hope.
24. Why did the author want to get home quickly?
A. She hated waiting in line.
B. She was eager to meet her grandson.
C. She needed to prepare for tomorrow’s class.
D. She was tired after work.
25. What made the old man choose to put the cookies back?
A. His own preference. B. The cashier’s advice.
C. Lack of money. D. The cookies’ high price.
26. How did the old man feel when the author paid for the cookies?
A. Amazed and moved. B. Shocked and upset.
C. Doubtful and embarrassed. D. Indifferent and calm.
27. What message does the text mainly want to convey?
A. Patience in public is a virtue. B. Kindness can lead to friendliness.
C. Family ties are the most valuable. D. Elderly people need more care.
C
You’ve arrived at a party, but you don’t see anyone you know. Who should you talk to? You put on a special pair of glasses and look at the people again. Now, you see information about each person on their faces or chests — their jobs, interests, even the friends you have in common. Then, you approach someone who shares a lot with you.
Can you buy these special glasses right now? Negative. But a technology called augmented reality (AR) may make them readily available soon. Augment means to “add to something or expand something.” So, augmented reality is an expanded reality. AR adds pictures, sounds, text, and other information which comes from computer software to the real world.
Some forms of AR are already in use. When you watch a sport such as soccer, you can see the score and the amount of playing time on the TV screen. In addition, the TV producers often draw circles or lines on it to more clearly illustrate something. Doctors use a more complex type of AR. They can project an MRI (核磁共振) scan of a person’s head onto the head itself. Then, while they are performing an operation, the doctors can look at the MRI scan on the patient’s head.
Today, the most accessible (可使用的) form of AR is through smartphone applications. Smartphone AR uses your phone’s GPS software. Imagine you’re walking down the street trying to decide where to eat. Just hold your phone up to a street with restaurants and your phone will show you reviews, menu items, and prices. Shoppers who point their phones at an item in a store can get information on the price and quality — even the same product at other stores.
In the future, we probably won’t use cell phone screens to see augmented reality. A pair of glasses might be all we need. This is an exciting idea, but there are some concerns. Some people worry that AR might produce too much information that can be confusing. Others worry that people might get so addicted that they would prefer augmented reality to actual reality. However, there is no question that AR is here to stay. Soon, everyone will have access to it and people will learn to get used to it.
28. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question.
C. By solving a problem. D. By describing a scene.
29. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To show how AR is first developed.
B. To explain what AR is and how it works.
C. To discuss why AR glasses cannot be bought now.
D. To tell the differences between AR and the real world.
30. What can we learn about AR from the text?
A. It is more useful in hospital than in other fields.
B. TV producers has already used it for drama programs.
C. Most personal use of AR is through special glasses so far.
D. Smartphone-based AR needs to know your location to work.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward AR?
A. Consistent. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
D
New evidence suggests that studying Chinese and learning to write Chinese characters may train cognitive (认知的) abilities, which are not developed by learning other languages and writing systems.
A study conducted by researchers from the UK’s Wellcome Trust found that people who speak Chinese use both temporal lobes (颞叶) of their brain to understand the language. This is very different from English-language speakers who use only the left temporal lobe. Speakers of Chinese use intonation (语调) to tell between completely different meanings of particular words, which needs stronger cognitive abilities.
Besides, the practice of handwriting, especially of Chinese characters, will aid the development of motor skills, learning shapes and letters and will keep the mind sharp. Through the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, researchers found that neural (神经的) activity in children who practiced printing letters by hand was more strengthened than those who just looked at them. Compared with English, mostly written in line and from left to right, Chinese characters have more complex in structure (复杂的结构). Their writing involves strokes (笔画) in all four directions: up, down, left, and right. The movement of the fingers and hand helps improve neural activity in the working, thinking, and memory of the brain of the learners.
Evidence also suggests that there is a connection between the learning of Chinese and math skills. Researchers from New Zealand noticed that Asian children educated in their own languages appear to have gained a greater understanding of math ideas than English-speaking children. During the natural learning process of Chinese, the student is learning basic math ideas. Math skills are included in character writing because it includes skills such as counting, grouping, ordering, and identifying similarities and differences.
While the research on the relationship between the learning of Chinese and cognition is not yet fully clear, there is good evidence to suggest that learning Chinese tones and characters represents an added challenge to language learning.
32. What is the text centred on?
A. Why Asian children are better at math test.
B. Why Chinese is a difficult language to learn.
C. How learning Chinese benefits our cognition.
D. How Chinese writing differs from English writing.
33. What does the study by UK’s Wellcome Trust show?
A. English speakers should learn Chinese.
B. Chinese has more intonations than English.
C. Using Chinese needs a higher-level brain activity.
D. Mastering different meanings of Chinese is difficult.
34. Why is learning Chinese beneficial to solving math problems?
A. They need quite different cognitive abilities.
B. Chinese writing looks like math symbols.
C. Chinese children naturally do well in math.
D. They share several key cognitive abilities.
35. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By offering supporting findings. B. By comparing former research.
C. By discussing problems and solutions. D. By listing advantages and disadvantages.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。
Our lives are based on self-worth. 36 . However, what you do, what you achieve, and how people see you cannot decide your value. The reality is that you are a worthy person simply because you exist. Here are three habits to help improve your self-worth.
Keep promises to yourself
Each thing you promise to yourself gives you a chance to either build or reduce your self-worth. For example, if you skip a planned workout, you are not keeping a promise to yourself. You are sending yourself an extremely strong signal that your well-being isn’t worth the effort. 37 .
Do something challenging regularly
38 Whenever you achieve something tough, you are telling yourself that you are powerful and worthy of respect. In this way, you are improving your self-worth. You prove to yourself again and again that you deserve the best because of what you know you’re capable of.
39
How you treat yourself matters most. Many people have no problem showing up 100 percent when someone they love needs help, yet hesitate when it comes to themselves. 40 By doing so, you not only make your relationships stronger but also raise your worth.
A. Seek others’ help directly
B. Step forward for yourself
C. Self-worth is earned through daily actions.
D. Self-respect and self-worth are closely related.
E. Thus, keeping your word ensures your self-value.
F. Most individuals assume self-worth relies on their achievements.
G. Instead, you should care for yourself the way you care for others.
