Sometimes, just knowing that someone believes in us can make a big difference. When we share our struggles with others, we often find that we are not the only ones facing challenges.

Have you ever heard of the “broken window theory”? It was first introduced by two American criminologists (犯罪学家) in 1982. The theory suggests that visible signs of disorder and neglect — such as broken windows, graffiti (涂鸦), and litter — encourage further crime and anti-social behavior.
The idea is simple. If a window is broken and left unrepaired, people will conclude that no one cares and no one is in charge. Soon, more windows will be broken, and the sense of disorder will spread. This can lead to more serious crimes.
To test this theory, researchers conducted several experiments. In one famous study, they left two cars in different neighborhoods — one in a wealthy area and one in a poor area. The car in the poor area was quickly stripped (拆卸) for parts. But when the researchers deliberately broke a window on the car in the wealthy area, it was also soon vandalized (破坏). This showed that visible neglect can trigger bad behavior, regardless of the neighborhood.
The broken window theory has important implications for communities. It suggests that maintaining order and cleanliness is not just about appearance — it is about safety. When people see that their environment is cared for, they are less likely to commit crimes. This is why many cities have adopted policies to quickly fix broken windows, remove graffiti, and clean up litter.
However, not everyone agrees with the theory. Some critics argue that it oversimplifies the causes of crime. They say that poverty, lack of education, and limited opportunities are the real root causes of crime, not broken windows. Despite the criticism, the theory has influenced policing strategies around the world.
14.According to the broken window theory, what may a broken window lead to?
A.Better neighborhood relationships.
B.More crime and anti-social behavior.
C.Improved community safety.
D.More investment in the area.
15.What did the car experiment show?
A.Poor neighborhoods have more crime.
B.Wealthy neighborhoods are safer.
C.Visible neglect can trigger bad behavior.
D.Cars are easily stolen in poor areas.
16.What do critics say about the broken window theory?
A.It is completely wrong.
B.It ignores the root causes of crime.
C.It should be applied everywhere.
D.It has no scientific basis.
17.What is the best title for the passage?
A.How to Fix Broken Windows
B.The Causes of Crime in America
C.The Broken Window Theory
D.Why Neighborhoods Matter

Many people believe that money can buy happiness. But is that really true? A growing body of research suggests that beyond a certain point, more money does not necessarily make us happier.
According to a famous study by researchers at Princeton University, there is a threshold (门槛) income — around $75,000 per year — beyond which additional income does not significantly improve emotional well-being. Below that threshold, money does matter: people who struggle to meet their basic needs experience more stress and unhappiness. But once basic needs are met, more money has surprisingly little effect on daily happiness.
So what does make us happy? Research points to several key factors. First, relationships matter most. People with strong social connections — family, friends, and community — report higher levels of happiness than those who are isolated. Spending time with loved ones, sharing experiences, and feeling supported are far more important than a bigger bank account.
Second, meaningful work contributes to happiness. This does not necessarily mean a high-paying job. It means work that gives us a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Volunteers, teachers, and artists often report high job satisfaction even when their incomes are modest.
Third, health is fundamental. Without good physical and mental health, it is difficult to enjoy anything else. Regular exercise, adequate sleep, and a balanced diet are investments in our happiness that money cannot replace.
Fourth, experiences bring more joy than possessions. Studies show that people are happier when they spend money on experiences — like travel, concerts, or a nice dinner with friends — rather than on material goods. Experiences create memories and strengthen relationships, while possessions often lose their appeal over time.
Of course, this does not mean money is unimportant. Money provides security and freedom. It allows us to meet our needs and pursue our interests. But the key insight is that money is a means to an end, not the end itself. Once our basic needs are met, the pursuit of more money at the expense of relationships, health, and meaningful experiences is likely to leave us less happy, not more.
18.According to the passage, beyond what amount does more money not significantly improve happiness?
A.$50,000 B.$75,000 C.$100,000 D.$150,000
19.Which of the following contributes to happiness according to the passage?
A.Owning a large house.
B.Having a high-paying job.
C.Strong social connections.
D.Buying expensive possessions.
20.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A.very high B.not large C.extremely low D.average
21.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Money is the most important thing in life.
B.Money can buy happiness if you have enough.
C.Beyond basic needs, money matters less for happiness.
D.Rich people are always happier than poor people.

China’s space program has made remarkable progress in recent years. From launching astronauts to building its own space station, the country has become a major player in space exploration. Let’s take a look at some of the key achievements.
In 2003, China became the third country to independently send humans into space. Yang Liwei orbited the Earth aboard Shenzhou-5, marking a historic milestone. Since then, China has completed numerous crewed missions, including spacewalks and docking maneuvers (对接操作).
The Tiangong space station is perhaps China’s most ambitious space project. Construction began in 2021 and was completed in 2022. The station consists of three main modules (舱段): Tianhe (the core module), Wentian, and Mengtian. It can host up to three astronauts for long-duration missions. The station is designed to conduct scientific experiments in areas such as biology, physics, and astronomy.
China has also made significant strides in lunar exploration. The Chang’e program, named after the Chinese moon goddess, has successfully landed spacecraft on the moon. Chang’e-4 made history in 2019 by landing on the far side of the moon — the first mission ever to do so. Chang’e-5 brought back lunar samples to Earth in 2020, making China the third country to achieve this feat.
More recently, China has set its sights on Mars. The Tianwen-1 mission, launched in 2020, successfully placed a rover (火星车) named Zhurong on the Martian surface in 2021. Zhurong has been studying the geology and atmosphere of Mars, searching for signs of water and possible life.
China’s space program is not just about national pride. It also brings practical benefits. Satellites help with weather forecasting, communications, and navigation. Space research leads to technological innovations that improve life on Earth. And perhaps most importantly, space exploration inspires young people to dream big and pursue careers in science and technology.
Looking ahead, China plans to send astronauts to the moon by 2030 and establish a lunar research station. The country is also working on a reusable spaceplane and deeper space exploration missions. The future of China’s space program looks bright indeed.
22.When did China first send a human into space?
A.In 2003. B.In 2019. C.In 2020. D.In 2021.
23.What is special about Chang’e-4?
A.It brought back lunar samples.
B.It landed on the far side of the moon.
C.It carried astronauts to the moon.
D.It discovered water on the moon.
24.What can we learn about the Tiangong space station?
A.It was completed in 2020.
B.It can host up to five astronauts.
C.It is used for scientific experiments.
D.It is China’s first space station.
25.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The history of space exploration.
B.China’s achievements in space.
C.How to become an astronaut.
D.The future of space tourism.

When Emma was twelve, a stray (流浪的) dog appeared in her neighborhood. The dog was thin and frightened. Emma felt sorry for it and decided to help. She named the dog Lucky and began feeding it every day. Slowly, Lucky began to trust her. Emma asked her parents if she could keep Lucky, but they said no because they already had two cats. However, they agreed to let Emma take care of Lucky in the backyard.
Emma took her responsibility seriously. She made sure Lucky had food, water, and a warm place to sleep. She also saved her pocket money to take Lucky to the vet for a checkup and vaccinations. The vet was impressed by Emma’s dedication. He told her that she would make a great veterinarian one day.
One day, Lucky ran after a cat and got lost. Emma was heartbroken. She searched everywhere but could not find him. She put up posters and asked her neighbors for help. A week later, a neighbor called and said they had found Lucky. Emma was overjoyed. She ran to the neighbor’s house and hugged Lucky tightly. From that day on, she made sure Lucky never ran away again.
Emma’s experience with Lucky taught her an important lesson: if you truly care about something, you will find a way to make it work. Her dream of becoming a veterinarian grew stronger. She knew that helping animals was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

Dear Jack,
I am sorry to know that you have too much stress now. It is common for students to feel worried before exams. You may find it hard to fall asleep at night, and you may even lose your appetite. Here are some suggestions for you.
First, arrange your daily schedule properly. Make a reasonable timetable for study and rest, and don’t stay up too late. Second, communicate with adults. Talk to your parents or teachers about your feelings. They can offer useful advice and support. Third, try color therapy. Painting your room in soft colors like light blue or green can help you relax. Fourth, seek spiritual support. You can listen to inspiring music or read encouraging books to lift your spirits.
I hope these tips will help you feel better soon.
Best wishes
Tony
