The Mission
Education is a fundamental way to change the future. Yuanshan Education Foundation in Beijing, China is a non-public foundation, providing special STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) courses and other high-quality educational resources to primary school students in rural China.
The foundation aims to develop the students’ learning capacity and interest in STEM, being committed to using technology to promote the balanced development of education for the students in rural areas through the Internet.
The Project Details
We independently develop STEM courses through our project. It adopts the co-teacher teaching mode, which allows an expert teacher to give live STEM lessons online, and a local teacher to assist the class and guide the students offline. The courses start with the most urgently needed subjects in the countryside.
The project will carry out 12 STEM courses in a semester and provide rural students with experiment materials (four students share one experiment kit). In the class, guided by the two teachers, students will learn knowledge in engineering, architecture, transportation, media, and so on through an experimental approach, which will create their interest in STEM subjects and improve their learning capacities. At the same time, various STEM competitions will be held for students.

Maria Onate had not read a book until her son started high school. Her parents ended her education when she was 15 to prepare her for marriage and work.
Decades later, at her son’s new high school, she joined a book club for immigrant parents. Maria’s early hesitation turned into enthusiasm shortly after she attended the book club meetings, where she and 15 other Latina mothers passionately discussed novels.
Principal Torres Flores started the club. She noticed that parents’ involvement directly influenced students’ attitudes toward reading. Initially, like Maria, only a few parents joined the club, doubting their ability to read at a high level. Over time, the group grew to a core of 15 regular members, mostly mothers, who proudly call themselves lifelong learners.
The book club meetings are an extension of the parents’ involvement in their children’s education. The book club often discusses stories that provide a valuable reference for family life. For example, The Diary of a Young Girl inspired perseverance, while Rain of Gold sparked deep discussions about family and tradition.
Beyond reading, the club empowers them to take on leadership roles at school and share their love of books at home. The schedule for the book club is tight, but the mothers still find time to attend. They even organize activities for other parents and contribute to the school’s energetic community.
The positive impact extends to their families. Parents who once spent weekends watching TV now enjoy reading with their children. Research shows that having books at home has a positive effect on children’s studies. For many, the club has inspired them to create personal libraries, fostering a culture of learning.
Torres Flores believes these efforts benefit both parents and students. Parents feel more confident and connected to the school, while students see the value of education.
At the end of a meeting, the group selects a new book to read together, often choosing stories that offer lessons they can apply to their families. For these parents, the book club is more than a reading group; it influences their children and supports their future.
4. Why did Maria hesitate to join the book club initially?
A. Her parents discouraged her. B. She was an immigrant parent.
C. Only a few parents joined it. D. It was beyond her reading ability.
5. What’s the main purpose of Torres starting the book club?
A. To strengthen parents’ modelling influence. B. To develop parents’ communication skills.
C. To have parents teach children how to read. D. To discuss children’s problems with parents.
6. How do students benefit from the book club?
A. They will enjoy powerful family libraries. B. They can achieve greater academic success.
C. They will be invited to manage a school. D. They can learn how to organize activities.
7. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Many hands make light work. B. Parental influence plays a vital role.
C. Hard work eventually bears fruit. D. Reading is what makes a difference.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. B
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Initially, like Maria, only a few parents joined the club, doubting their ability to read at a high level.(起初,和Maria一样,只有少数家长加入俱乐部,他们怀疑自己能否进行高水平阅读。)”可知,玛丽亚最初对加入读书俱乐部感到犹豫的原因是她认为读书俱乐部超出了自己的阅读能力。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Principal Torres Flores started the club. She noticed that parents’ involvement directly influenced students’ attitudes toward reading.(读书俱乐部由校长托雷斯·弗洛雷斯创办。她注意到,家长的参与直接影响学生对阅读的态度。)”可知,托雷斯创办读书俱乐部的主要目的是加强家长的榜样作用。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Research shows that having books at home has a positive effect on children’s studies.(研究表明,在家中拥有书籍对孩子的学业有积极影响。)”可知,学生从读书俱乐部中能获得的好处是能够取得更大的学业成就。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“For these parents, the book club is more than a reading group; it influences their children and supports their future.(对这些家长而言,读书俱乐部远不止是一个阅读团体,它影响着他们的孩子,也支持着他们的未来。)”可知,本文主要讲的是校长Torres Flores创办移民家长读书俱乐部。原本缺乏阅读能力的家长参与其中,收获成长;家长在家养成阅读习惯,进而影响孩子,让孩子受益,实现家校共赢,因此本文的主题是B选项“Parental influence plays a vital role.(家长的影响至关重要。)”。

Greenland sharks, the mysterious giants lying low in the deep, cold waters of the Arctic and North Atlantic, are known for their extraordinarily long life — some can live for over 400 years. Scientists have long wondered how these creatures manage to outlive all other vertebrates (脊椎动物). Through a series of studies, they desire to reveal the secrets behind their long life.
Lily Fogg, a biologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland, and her team focused on the sharks’ eyes. Examining tissue from ten Greenland sharks, including some up to 150 years old, they found that these animals possess all the necessary cellular structures for vision in the deep sea’s dim light. Surprisingly, the eye tissue showed little sign of aging. Fogg suggests this may be due to highly active DNA repair mechanisms that prevent cell death and tissue degeneration. A separate study of the sharks’ sets of genes also pointed to enhanced DNA repair functions.
However, not all organs benefit from such protection. Alessandro Cellerino, an Italian physiologist, led a study on the sharks’ hearts. Examining six Greenland sharks, his team discovered that their hearts accumulate tough scars and cellular damage over time. In humans, similar scarring would indicate cardiovascular disease, hardening the heart and reducing its pumping efficiency. Yet, despite this damage, the sharks’ hearts continue to function effectively. Researchers suspect that protective hormones may help their hearts stand up to some age-related injuries.
Catherine Macdonald, an ecologist at the University of Miami, finds these findings fascinating. She notes that any animal with such a long lifetime must possess both repair and maintenance abilities. While studying living Greenland sharks is difficult owing to their deep-sea habitat — they can dive to 2,200 meters, Macdonald believes that understanding their long life can offer valuable insights into human aging. However, she cautions against drawing quick conclusions on human health, emphasizing that these discoveries are just the beginning of a much longer scientific journey.
8. What is the scientists’ attitude to Greenland sharks’ long life?
A. Astonished. B. Skeptical. C. Curious. D. Indifferent.
9. What do we know about Greenland sharks’ hearts?
A. Their hearts still work well even with scars and damage.
B. Their hearts have the same DNA repair ability as their eyes.
C. Their hearts have no cellular damage as time passes.
D. Their hearts will stop beating once scars appear.
10. What does Macdonald think of the findings?
A. They are difficult to understand. B. They are invaluable for further study.
C. They offer conclusions on human health. D. They lack corresponding evidence.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. How Greenland Sharks Resist Aging
B. How Greenland Sharks Live in the Sea
C. How Greenland Sharks Get Genetic Protection
D. How Greenland Sharks Keep Healthy for Long
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A

Last week, I wrote down notes about my hometown snacks on my phone, yet the predictive keyboard powered by artificial intelligence (AI) kept replacing my vivid descriptions with plain words. The incident made me realize I’d grown overly addicted to AI suggestions. Researchers name this phenomenon “The Great Smoothing” — AI tools gradually remove all individuality from our writing in pursuit of convenience.
My English assignment clearly exposed the problem. I wrote an essay on “Is It Selfish to Pursue Risky Sports?”. Hoping for polished sentences, I used tailored AI writing tools to revise my draft. Though the essay was logically smooth, my teacher marked it as lacking a personal voice. This puzzling result is supported by a 2024 New York University study, which finds essays polished by user-tailored AI tools share repetitive safe phrases, mixing all writers’ styles into uniform text.
AI’s influence stretches beyond writing to culture and daily speech. When I wrote about local films and food, AI kept suggesting Western items instead of regional specialties, which is consistent with a 2025 Cornell study on Western preference in AI text. Even worse, many of my classmates overuse AI-favored words in presentations, a trend recorded by researchers at a top European research institute. In the long term, constant training on AI-generated texts will result in “model collapse”, erasing rare phrases and cultural expressions.
At first, I only valued the convenience of AI’s grammar correction. Further research revealed its lasting harm — it narrows users’ vocabularies and pushes global users toward standard American English. Surveys show AI footprints widely exist in academic papers, corporate releases, and official documents. Though AI helps people without formal writing skills, it creates a homogeneous (同种类的) writing pattern that weakens individual voices.
Now I treat AI as a brainstorming partner instead of a replacement for writing, and I compose all final drafts independently. Schools also provide AI literacy courses to teach students how to preserve their original thinking. I finally understand the core truth: Writing equals thinking. We must never let AI smooth away our genuine voices.
12. Which statement may belong to the phenomenon “The Great Smoothing”?
A. AI confirms writers’ creative essays. B. AI replaces writers’ lively words.
C. AI keeps writers’ individual expressions. D. AI polishes writers’ personal documents.
13. How might the teacher feel while reading the author’s essay in paragraph 2?
A. Admired. B. Relieved.
C. Disappointed. D. Awkward.
14. What is a possible effect of AI on language according to the text?
A. It will limit users’ vocabulary range. B. It will enrich rare regional terms.
C. It will shape personal writing styles. D. It will erase standard American English.
15. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. AI can read students’ genuine inner needs.
B. Literacy courses are the core of original writing.
C. Schools should be dependent on AI for real teaching.
D. A unique voice in writing stands for true self-expression.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述AI带来的“大平滑”现象,警示人们警惕AI消解写作里的独特个人表达。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Researchers name this phenomenon “The Great Smoothing” — AI tools gradually remove all individuality from our writing in pursuit of convenience.(研究人员将这一现象命名为“大平滑”——为了追求便捷,AI工具会逐步抹去我们写作中所有的个性化特质。)”可知,AI替换掉作者鲜活生动的描写性词汇,正是“大平滑”现象的典型表现。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Though the essay was logically smooth, my teacher marked it as lacking a personal voice.(尽管这篇文章逻辑通顺,我的老师还是给它批注,指出它缺少个人表达的独特风格。)”可知,作者的作文缺少个人特色,老师读到这样的作品时,会感到失望。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Further research revealed its lasting harm — it narrows users’ vocabularies and pushes global users toward standard American English.(进一步的研究揭示了它的长期危害——它会缩小用户的词汇量范围,倒逼全球用户都向标准美式英语靠拢。)”可知,AI会限制用户的词汇涉猎范围,让大家的用词越来越同质化。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I finally understand the core truth: Writing equals thinking. We must never let AI smooth away our genuine voices.(我最终领悟了核心真相:写作等同于思考。我们绝对不能让AI把我们最真挚的表达抹平。)”可知,作者想要传递的核心观点是,写作里独属于自己的声音,才是真正的自我表达。

Self-management is one of the most practical abilities for senior high students. It means the ability to control daily behaviors, arrange study tasks and deal with learning pressure properly. For senior three students buried in endless exercises and regular exams, this skill greatly influences their learning efficiency and final performance. ___16___ The good news is that self-management is not a born talent. It can be trained step by step through daily small habits.
___17___ Many students struggle with heavy learning tasks simply because they fail to organize their time well. Without clear plans, people often waste hours on meaningless things and rush to finish tasks at the last minute. A reasonable daily schedule helps students divide big tasks into small ones and complete study targets steadily every day.
Apart from it, managing study focus is equally important. In daily study, many outside things may distract students from learning. Mobile messages, short videos and noisy environments all stop students from concentrating. ___18___ Keeping a quiet learning state allows knowledge to be understood and remembered more effectively.
Learning setbacks are also common in senior high school life. Students may fail exams or make repeated mistakes in certain subjects. ___19___ Instead of feeling upset for a long time, wise students choose to accept mistakes bravely and adjust their learning methods in time.
Self-management never brings immediate progress overnight. ___20___ As long as students keep practicing these small skills every day, they will finally form good learning habits and achieve long-term improvement.
A. Time management lies at the center of effective self-management.
B. It helps students keep stable learning states and make steady progress.
C. Constant focus is the key to high-quality learning.

A Call for Practicing Chinese Handwriting
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version 1
Dear fellow students,
With the development of technology, more and more students prefer to use electronic products for taking notes and sending messages, rather than write on the paper. Thus, our handwriting is not as good as it was in the past.
Chinese handwriting is an important part of our traditional culture. Nice handwriting can also show our good qualities. Therefore, we should take action to improve it. We’d better take notes by hand instead of typing. Besides, we can spare some time to practice handwriting every day.
Let’s pick up our pens and enjoy the beauty of Chinese characters.
The Calligraphy Association
Possible version 2
Dear fellow students,
Nowadays, we spend much time on electronic products, which causes our Chinese handwriting to become poorer and poorer.
Handwriting stands for our traditional culture and creates a good impression on others. Neat handwriting is also helpful in our exams. It’s high time we improved our writing. We should try to write by hand more and spare a few minutes to practice Chinese characters regularly.
Let’s take action to practice handwriting and protect our precious culture.

47. 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。
When I was a kid, my dad would sometimes take me to travel by train. But there was one thing about our trips that embarrassed me terribly: his “train station pants”. They were a pair of bright purple pants with orange skateboarding dinosaurs printed all over them. Every time we went to a train station, he would wear the pants. People would stare and some would even point and laugh. I could feel my face burning with shame as I was a shy and sensitive girl.
“Dad, please don’t wear the pants,” I would beg him. “They’re so ugly and embarrassing! Everyone else is looking at us!”
He would just smile gently and shake his head. “The pants have a special purpose,” he would say. “If we ever got separated, you would spot me immediately in a crowd, or you could describe me to others easily — ‘My dad is wearing purple pants with orange skateboarding dinosaurs.’ No one else would be wearing that, right?”
I didn’t buy his explanation. I thought he just liked being the center of attention. So I kept complaining, and he kept wearing the pants.
My attitude changed one summer when I was about eight years old. We were at a busy train station during the holiday season. The place was packed with travelers rushing in every direction. As usual, my dad was wearing his silly pants. As we were checking the train information board, a wave of people suddenly pushed through. One moment my dad was right beside me; the next moment, he was gone.
Panic flooded over me as I scanned the faces of the people around me, but my dad was nowhere to be seen. I tried to shout “Dad”, but my voice got lost in the noisy crowd. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized I was completely alone in this crowded train station.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just then, something flashed in my mind.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I finally found my dad, I hugged him tightly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Just then, something flashed in my mind. I wiped my tears and looked around, my eyes searching desperately through the endless legs. And then, I caught sight of it — a brief flash of bright purple, moving slowly through the crowd near the information desk. I had never been so grateful to see those ugly dinosaurs in my entire life. Without a second thought, I rushed to that unmistakable spot of color, my eyes fixed on that purple glow — a lighthouse guiding me through the storm of strangers.
When I finally found my dad, I hugged him tightly. I buried my face in his shoulder, crying from guilt and relief. All those years I had complained about his pants, thinking they were embarrassing and silly. But he had been right all along. He had worn them not to draw attention, but to make sure I could always find him, no matter how crowded the place was. I looked at those dinosaurs through tearful eyes and for the first time, they didn’t look silly at all — they looked like love.

Yuanshan Education Foundation
The Mission
Education is a fundamental way to change the future. Yuanshan Education Foundation in Beijing, China is a non-public foundation, providing special STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) courses and other high-quality educational resources to primary school students in rural China.
The foundation aims to develop the students’ learning capacity and interest in STEM, being committed to using technology to promote the balanced development of education for the students in rural areas through the Internet.
The Project Details
We independently develop STEM courses through our project. It adopts the co-teacher teaching mode, which allows an expert teacher to give live STEM lessons online, and a local teacher to assist the class and guide the students offline. The courses start with the most urgently needed subjects in the countryside.
The project will carry out 12 STEM courses in a semester and provide rural students with experiment materials (four students share one experiment kit). In the class, guided by the two teachers, students will learn knowledge in engineering, architecture, transportation, media, and so on through an experimental approach, which will create their interest in STEM subjects and improve their learning capacities. At the same time, various STEM competitions will be held for students.
The History and Need
Within approximately 7 months, 80 STEM courses were delivered, covering 12 schools, 40 classes, 40 teachers, and more than 1,800 rural students. This project has also delivered 12,000 experiment kits to the local students.
Your help means a lot to us and the kids. In the future, the funds we receive will enable more rural children to take STEM courses, learn science knowledge, and improve their learning capacities. Come and build a brighter future for the kids together! For more information, click here.

Maria Onate had not read a book until her son started high school. Her parents ended her education when she was 15 to prepare her for marriage and work.
Decades later, at her son’s new high school, she joined a book club for immigrant parents. Maria’s early hesitation turned into enthusiasm shortly after she attended the book club meetings, where she and 15 other Latina mothers passionately discussed novels.
Principal Torres Flores started the club. She noticed that parents’ involvement directly influenced students’ attitudes toward reading. Initially, like Maria, only a few parents joined the club, doubting their ability to read at a high level. Over time, the group grew to a core of 15 regular members, mostly mothers, who proudly call themselves lifelong learners.
The book club meetings are an extension of the parents’ involvement in their children’s education. The book club often discusses stories that provide a valuable reference for family life. For example, The Diary of a Young Girl inspired perseverance, while Rain of Gold sparked deep discussions about family and tradition.
Beyond reading, the club empowers them to take on leadership roles at school and share their love of books at home. The schedule for the book club is tight, but the mothers still find time to attend. They even organize activities for other parents and contribute to the school’s energetic community.
The positive impact extends to their families. Parents who once spent weekends watching TV now enjoy reading with their children. Research shows that having books at home has a positive effect on children’s studies. For many, the club has inspired them to create personal libraries, fostering a culture of learning.
Torres Flores believes these efforts benefit both parents and students. Parents feel more confident and connected to the school, while students see the value of education.
At the end of a meeting, the group selects a new book to read together, often choosing stories that offer lessons they can apply to their families. For these parents, the book club is more than a reading group; it influences their children and supports their future.
4. Why did Maria hesitate to join the book club initially?
A. Her parents discouraged her. B. She was an immigrant parent.
C. Only a few parents joined it. D. It was beyond her reading ability.
5. What’s the main purpose of Torres starting the book club?
A. To strengthen parents’ modelling influence. B. To develop parents’ communication skills.
C. To have parents teach children how to read. D. To discuss children’s problems with parents.
6. How do students benefit from the book club?
A. They will enjoy powerful family libraries. B. They can achieve greater academic success.
C. They will be invited to manage a school. D. They can learn how to organize activities.
7. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Many hands make light work. B. Parental influence plays a vital role.
C. Hard work eventually bears fruit. D. Reading is what makes a difference.
C
Greenland sharks, the mysterious giants lying low in the deep, cold waters of the Arctic and North Atlantic, are known for their extraordinarily long life — some can live for over 400 years. Scientists have long wondered how these creatures manage to outlive all other vertebrates (脊椎动物). Through a series of studies, they desire to reveal the secrets behind their long life.
Lily Fogg, a biologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland, and her team focused on the sharks’ eyes. Examining tissue from ten Greenland sharks, including some up to 150 years old, they found that these animals possess all the necessary cellular structures for vision in the deep sea’s dim light. Surprisingly, the eye tissue showed little sign of aging. Fogg suggests this may be due to highly active DNA repair mechanisms that prevent cell death and tissue degeneration. A separate study of the sharks’ sets of genes also pointed to enhanced DNA repair functions.
However, not all organs benefit from such protection. Alessandro Cellerino, an Italian physiologist, led a study on the sharks’ hearts. Examining six Greenland sharks, his team discovered that their hearts accumulate tough scars and cellular damage over time. In humans, similar scarring would indicate cardiovascular disease, hardening the heart and reducing its pumping efficiency. Yet, despite this damage, the sharks’ hearts continue to function effectively. Researchers suspect that protective hormones may help their hearts stand up to some age-related injuries.
Catherine Macdonald, an ecologist at the University of Miami, finds these findings fascinating. She notes that any animal with such a long lifetime must possess both repair and maintenance abilities. While studying living Greenland sharks is difficult owing to their deep-sea habitat — they can dive to 2,200 meters, Macdonald believes that understanding their long life can offer valuable insights into human aging. However, she cautions against drawing quick conclusions on human health, emphasizing that these discoveries are just the beginning of a much longer scientific journey.
8. What is the scientists’ attitude to Greenland sharks’ long life?
A. Astonished. B. Skeptical. C. Curious. D. Indifferent.
9. What do we know about Greenland sharks’ hearts?
A. Their hearts still work well even with scars and damage.
B. Their hearts have the same DNA repair ability as their eyes.
C. Their hearts have no cellular damage as time passes.
D. Their hearts will stop beating once scars appear.
10. What does Macdonald think of the findings?
A. They are difficult to understand. B. They are invaluable for further study.
C. They offer conclusions on human health. D. They lack corresponding evidence.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. How Greenland Sharks Resist Aging
B. How Greenland Sharks Live in the Sea
C. How Greenland Sharks Get Genetic Protection
D. How Greenland Sharks Keep Healthy for Long

Last week, I wrote down notes about my hometown snacks on my phone, yet the predictive keyboard powered by artificial intelligence (AI) kept replacing my vivid descriptions with plain words. The incident made me realize I’d grown overly addicted to AI suggestions. Researchers name this phenomenon “The Great Smoothing” — AI tools gradually remove all individuality from our writing in pursuit of convenience.
My English assignment clearly exposed the problem. I wrote an essay on “Is It Selfish to Pursue Risky Sports?”. Hoping for polished sentences, I used tailored AI writing tools to revise my draft. Though the essay was logically smooth, my teacher marked it as lacking a personal voice. This puzzling result is supported by a 2024 New York University study, which finds essays polished by user-tailored AI tools share repetitive safe phrases, mixing all writers’ styles into uniform text.
AI’s influence stretches beyond writing to culture and daily speech. When I wrote about local films and food, AI kept suggesting Western items instead of regional specialties, which is consistent with a 2025 Cornell study on Western preference in AI text. Even worse, many of my classmates overuse AI-favored words in presentations, a trend recorded by researchers at a top European research institute. In the long term, constant training on AI-generated texts will result in “model collapse”, erasing rare phrases and cultural expressions.
At first, I only valued the convenience of AI’s grammar correction. Further research revealed its lasting harm — it narrows users’ vocabularies and pushes global users toward standard American English. Surveys show AI footprints widely exist in academic papers, corporate releases, and official documents. Though AI helps people without formal writing skills, it creates a homogeneous (同种类的) writing pattern that weakens individual voices.
Now I treat AI as a brainstorming partner instead of a replacement for writing, and I compose all final drafts independently. Schools also provide AI literacy courses to teach students how to preserve their original thinking. I finally understand the core truth: Writing equals thinking. We must never let AI smooth away our genuine voices.

A. AI confirms writers’ creative essays. B. AI replaces writers’ lively words.

14. What is a possible effect of AI on language according to the text?
A. It will limit users’ vocabulary range. B. It will enrich rare regional terms.
C. It will shape personal writing styles. D. It will erase standard American English.
15. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. AI can read students’ genuine inner needs.
B. Literacy courses are the core of original writing.

Self-management is one of the most practical abilities for senior high students. It means the ability to control daily behaviors, arrange study tasks and deal with learning pressure properly. For senior three students buried in endless exercises and regular exams, this skill greatly influences their learning efficiency and final performance. ___16___ The good news is that self-management is not a born talent. It can be trained step by step through daily small habits.
___17___ Many students struggle with heavy learning tasks simply because they fail to organize their time well.

Mobile messages, short videos and noisy environments all stop students from concentrating. ___18___ Keeping a quiet learning state allows knowledge to be understood and remembered more effectively.
Learning setbacks are also common in senior high school life. Students may fail exams or make repeated mistakes in certain subjects. ___19___ Instead of feeling upset for a long time, wise students choose to accept mistakes bravely and adjust their learning methods in time.
Self-management never brings immediate progress overnight. ___20___ As long as students keep practicing these small skills every day, they will finally form good learning habits and achieve long-term improvement.

47. 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。
When I was a kid, my dad would sometimes take me to travel by train. But there was one thing about our trips that embarrassed me terribly: his “train station pants”. They were a pair of bright purple pants with orange skateboarding dinosaurs printed all over them. Every time we went to a train station, he would wear the pants. People would stare and some would even point and laugh. I could feel my face burning with shame as I was a shy and sensitive girl.
“Dad, please don’t wear the pants,” I would beg him. “They’re so ugly and embarrassing! Everyone else is looking at us!”
He would just smile gently and shake his head. “The pants have a special purpose,” he would say. “If we ever got separated, you would spot me immediately in a crowd, or you could describe me to others easily — ‘My dad is wearing purple pants with orange skateboarding dinosaurs.’ No one else would be wearing that, right?”
I didn’t buy his explanation. I thought he just liked being the center of attention. So I kept complaining, and he kept wearing the pants.
My attitude changed one summer when I was about eight years old. We were at a busy train station during the holiday season. The place was packed with travelers rushing in every direction. As usual, my dad was wearing his silly pants. As we were checking the train information board, a wave of people suddenly pushed through. One moment my dad was right beside me; the next moment, he was gone.
Panic flooded over me as I scanned the faces of the people around me, but my dad was nowhere to be seen. I tried to shout “Dad”, but my voice got lost in the noisy crowd. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized I was completely alone in this crowded train station.

Just then, something flashed in my mind.
