There are over 800 boarding schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. The earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only.
In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. Each student has his or her subject plan. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. The house-masters can take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.
Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.
In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simple bread. They can also choose either a meal with no meat or another meal with meat for lunch and dinner. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in the kitchen.
21. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Boarding schools have strict rules on eating for students.
B. Students at boarding schools can choose their own clothes.
C. Students at boarding schools came from rich families in earlier times.
22. What should students in the boarding school do according to Paragraph 2?
A. Follow a subject plan. B. Look after themselves. C. Go outside after school.

Everyone laughs, even babies. Laughter is natural, but what do we know about it?
Laughing can help our bodies. When we laugh, our heart rate (心率) goes up, sending oxygen (氧气) to our body. Endorphins (内啡肽) are given off in our brains. This lowers stress and makes us feel good.
Scientists believe laughter helps people have a close relationship. We’re 30 times more likely to laugh with others than to be alone. Seeing people laughing can make us laugh, even if nothing very “funny” was said. Do you want to laugh more? Spend time with your family and friends!
Do you know nervous laughter? Have you ever found yourself laughing when you’re “not expected to” do so? Laughing is one way to let go of nervousness. When we’re nervous, our body may answer with laughter. We decide not to laugh, but it just happens. So just let nature take its course.
Do animals have a sense of humor? Your dog won’t be angry at your jokes. But scientists have found that at least two animals, apes (猩猩) and mice, make “play” sounds when they’re tickled (挠痒). Apes make breathing sounds and mice shout in a low voice.
Maybe we are wondering why something is funny. What we find funny depends a lot on our age, personality, and the place where we live. But here are some of the more general reasons why people laugh...
26. What influence do endorphins have on us?
A. Our heart rate goes up.
B. They bring us good feelings.
C. Our body produces more O2.
27. Which shows the relationship between the chance of laughing when staying with others (x) and staying alone (y)?
A. y=30x B. x=30y C. y=30%x
28. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. Laugh when we feel like it.
B. Choose when we should laugh wisely.
C. Take courses to learn how to laugh properly.
29. What does the fifth paragraph want to show?
A. Animals can laugh in a different way.
B. Animals don’t have a sense of humor.
C. Animals are more serious than humans.
30. What will be talked about next?
A. Secrets to finding funny things.
B. Ways to live a life full of laughter.
C. Several examples of why people laugh.

A recent discussion about pre-made dishes has drawn wide public attention in China. It all started when Luo Yonghao, a famous internet influencer, posted on social media. He said that after eating at Xibei, a popular restaurant chain (连锁), he found most of its dishes were pre-made but sold at high prices. His post quickly became popular, getting millions of comments.
What exactly are pre-made dishes? A 2024 notice from the government gives the answer. They are pre-packed foods made from vegetables, meat or other ingredients without adding preservatives (防腐剂). They go through factory processing, like mixing, frying or steaming (蒸), and need heating before eating. But not all prepared foods are pre-made. For example, dishes from central kitchens which are used by many big restaurants or simply cut vegetables are not in this category (类别). That’s why Xibei said its dishes weren’t pre-made.
Pre-made dishes have both advantages and disadvantages.
Upsides
■Some stores can’t use open flames (明火) or cook meat easily, so pre-made foods are safer.
■Pre-made products save time, cut costs and make service faster.
vs
Downsides
■Small restaurants may not keep pre-made dishes properly, leading to safety risks.
■Some workers heat pre-made dishes in dirty places, making people think pre-made means low quality.
To fix the problems, the government is taking action. China’s new standard for pre-made dishes will soon ask for public ideas. Experts say transparency (透明度) is the key. Restaurants must tell customers clearly if they use pre-made dishes. Later, Luo said he wasn’t against pre-made dishes and he even chose them when he’s busy. He just thinks people have the right to know what they eat.
31. What made pre-made dishes draw wide attention?
A. Their low cost. B. An influencer’s words. C. Their good taste.
32. Which are NOT pre-made dishes?
A. Pre-packed fried meat.
B. Roast duck from central kitchens.
C. Factory-processed steamed mutton.
33. Why do restaurants use pre-made dishes?
A. Safer and time-saving B. Cheaper for customers C. Fresher than homemade
34. What is the government doing?
A. Stopping pre-made dishes.
B. Making safety rules for them.
C. Punishing Xibei for its dishes.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Luo Yonghao’s influence.
B. Problems of pre-made dishes.
C. The discussion on pre-made dishes.

Where do you usually study on weekends? Some students like to study in the library while others like to study at home. Which is better for studying?
Many students find the comfort of their own space helpful for studying. ____46____ You have all your things around you, and you don’t have to think about lunch. You can study day or night, and you can rest whenever you want. There are a lot of good sides to studying at home.

Time flies when we play on our smartphone apps. But when we get down to study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so interested in smartphones but easily bored with studying?
It is all because of dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a “happy chemical (化学物质)” that makes people feel good. Our brains give it out when we eat delicious food, read interesting books……
Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine. For example, dopamine increases by 400% when we check our phone for a message. But why?
When we are going through information on apps, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give their thoughts on our posts. “The magic of maybe” fires up the dopamine system (系统). We are wondering if we receive opinions from friends. And our brain sees the new information we get as a kind of “prize”.
Studying doesn’t provide such uncertain things because we have already known what we will get in class. As a result, we won’t continue to study carefully for a long time.
Can we make use of the idea to help us learn new things? Sure! The key is to keep getting uncertainty and “prizes”. For students, we should encourage ourselves to keep learning new things every day. If possible, we should share our new knowledge with our classmates when we can. All the new knowledge and classmates praise (称赞) may be seen as “prizes” by our brain. So we can keep getting more dopamine and then keep learning more.

Started in 2022, the Huajiang Grand Canyon (峡谷) Bridge — the world’s highest bridge — opened to traffic in late September 2025. About twice the height of the Eiffel Tower (埃菲尔铁塔), the bridge is also the longest bridge in the mountainous areas.
The whole bridge is 2,890 meters long, 625 meters tall, and its two towers look like ancient Chinese jars (罐子).
Why is such a bridge built? Guizhou Province has many mountains and difficult areas. This bridge is part of a new highway that will cut travel time across the canyon from about one hour to two minutes! It’ll help interest more tourists to places nearby such as the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall.
However, it wasn’t easy to build it. Steel pieces weighed 22,000 tons. Crazy winds and sudden weather changes in the canyon made it face more difficulties. To deal with these problems, engineers used modern technologies. They even created a special system to check how the wind moved. “The completion of the bridge will be good for economic (经济的) strength, even though the project is full of risk,” said Chen Jianlei, the main engineer. Li Zhao, another engineer of the project, said, “Seeing my work become something tangible — watching the bridge grow day by day and finally stand tall above the canyon gives me a great sense of achievement and pride.”

How I have changed
I’m Li Chuan. Looking back at the past few years, I have changed a lot.
First, my learning methods have changed. I used to depend on group discussions, but now I think independently because it helps me understand things better. Second, my ways to communicate are different. I used to argue with others when we disagreed. However, now I communicate with them politely, because understanding is important to friendship. Finally, my hobby has changed from playing computer games to paper cutting. This is because playing games is bad for my eyes, while paper cutting helps me learn about traditional culture.
In a word, these changes make me a better person.
