Everyone knows some teachers who go out of their way to help their students. This year, our school’s Teacher Thank-You Week starts on 2 September. To celebrate it, we asked some students to make cards to thank their favourite teachers. Let’s take a look.
To Mr Harrison
You never laughed at my “silly” physics questions in class. Instead, you always said, “That’s a good way. to think. Let’s explore it further.”
—Elena, Grade 8
To Mrs Carter
You stayed after school to help me with maths when I was about to give up. More importantly, you told me that being slow at something doesn’t mean being incapable.
—Marcus, Grade 9
To Ms Jones
You were the first adult to notice I was quiet not because I had nothing to say, but because I was afraid of being wrong. Thank you for creating a classroom where mistakes are just steps, not failures.
—Priya, Grade 8
To Mr Ortiz
You didn’t just teach us history—you taught us to question the textbooks, to look for missing voices, and to think before agreeing. That changes how I see the world.
—Leo, Grade 9

When my family moved to New York, I felt upset. I missed my old life and found it hard to accept the change. “I don’t belong here,” I told my parents. “I have no friends and nothing to do.”
Hoping to make me feel better, my parents took me to a garden one afternoon. Volunteers moved among the flowers, carefully taking care of each plant. We met Vera, a friendly volunteer. She talked with us for a while, and before I realized it, she invited me to join them. I accepted her invitation happily.
Later, I met John, an old gardener. The first time we met, John showed me a bright flower. Yet with a light touch, its petals (花瓣) fell away. “It’s already dead, ” he said. Then he pointed to a flowerless plant.“This one will bloom (开花) soon.” I began to understand that things are not always what they seem.
In the following months, I kept returning to the garden. Under John’s guidance, I learnt about flowers, and slowly, about life. Without noticing it, I began to feel less lonely. One day, I told him I was afraid of starting a new school. He didn’t answer at once. Instead, he led me to a higher place and asked me to look over the garden. From there, some parts of the garden seemed bigger than others, although they were actually the same.
“It depends on how you see it,” he said softly. “You can see your new school as something scary, or you can see it as an opportunity.”
When school began, I chose to see things in a new way. Step by step, I found my place. Looking back, I realize that sometimes, a small change in the way we see things can make all the difference.

Have you ever kept doing something you no longer enjoyed, just because you had already spent a lot of time or money on it? This way of thinking is called the “sunk cost fallacy (沉没成本谬误) ”.
A “sunk cost” is something you cannot get back. It can be money, time or effort that you have already spent. People often don’t want to give up after putting so much into something. As a result, they continue doing things that are no longer useful or enjoyable. Some may keep trying to win a prize from a claw machine (抓娃娃机) after spending many coins. Others may continue watching a boring movie because they already bought a ticket. In the same way, some students might choose to stay on university courses they don’t like because they have already finished several terms.
The problem is that the past cannot be changed. Spending more money on a claw machine will not make winning easier. Continuing a course that you’re not interested in may only waste more time and energy. The same thing can happen in friendships. Some people stay in toxic friendships simply because they have known each other for many years, even when those friendships no longer make them happy.
To avoid the sunk cost fallacy, people should focus on the future instead of the past. A useful question to ask is: “If I were making the choice today, would I still choose this?” If the answer is no, it may be better to stop and move on.
Understanding the sunk cost fallacy can help people make wiser decisions. Sometimes giving up is not a sign of failure. Instead, it can be a smart way to protect your time, energy and happiness.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案.
11. Which of the following is an example of the “sunk cost fallacy"?
A. Studying hard for a coming test.
B. Returning a wrong-sized T-shirt.
C. Ordering less food at a restaurant.
D. Continuing reading a boring book.
12. How does the writer explain the “sunk cost” in Paragraph 2?
A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers.
C. By giving examples. D. By making a prediction.
13. What is the underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph 3 closest in meaning to?
A. Strong. B. Unhealthy.
C. Unfamiliar. D. Comfortable.
14. What’s the writer’s opinion on “giving up”?
A. It is always a sign of failure.
B. It can sometimes be a smart decision.
C. It is always helpful for children’s growth.
D. It can sometimes cause personal problems.
15. What’s the writer’s main message?
A. We should always finish what we started.
B. Money can sometimes lead to bad decisions.
C. Past costs are important and should guide us.
D. Focusing on the future can help us make wiser choices.

C
Have you ever kept doing something you no longer enjoyed, just because you had already spent a lot of time or money on it? This way of thinking is called the “sunk cost fallacy (沉没成本谬误) ”.
A “sunk cost” is something you cannot get back. It can be money, time or effort that you have already spent. People often don’t want to give up after putting so much into something. As a result, they continue doing things that are no longer useful or enjoyable. Some may keep trying to win a prize from a claw machine (抓娃娃机) after spending many coins. Others may continue watching a boring movie because they already bought a ticket. In the same way, some students might choose to stay on university courses they don’t like because they have already finished several terms.
The problem is that the past cannot be changed. Spending more money on a claw machine will not make winning easier. Continuing a course that you’re not interested in may only waste more time and energy. The same thing can happen in friendships. Some people stay in toxic friendships simply because they have known each other for many years, even when those friendships no longer make them happy.
To avoid the sunk cost fallacy, people should focus on the future instead of the past. A useful question to ask is: “If I were making the choice today, would I still choose this?” If the answer is no, it may be better to stop and move on.
Understanding the sunk cost fallacy can help people make wiser decisions. Sometimes giving up is not a sign of failure. Instead, it can be a smart way to protect your time, energy and happiness.

根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使文章意思通顺、内容完整。

【导语】本文主要介绍了北京林业大学、中国海洋大学等高校开展劳动实践课程(如包青团、茶园采茶等)的创新举措,阐释了劳动教育帮助学生掌握实用技能、体会劳动艰辛并拓展课外认知的育人价值。
【16题详解】
前文提到食堂员工指导学生们制作传统小吃青团“students learnt how to make qingtuan, a traditional green rice snack”,空后提到他是该校的一名数学专业学生“He is a maths major at the university”。选项A“Among the students was 19-year-old Li Tonghan.”引出具体的学生人物Li Tonghan,与空后的代词“He”及下段的“For Li”形成直接指代衔接。
【17题详解】
前文提到作为数学专业的学生,他经常花很长时间学习“As a maths major, he often spends long hours studying”,空后提到这也有助于他更好地理解日常餐饮背后的辛劳“It also helped him better understand the hard work…”。选项C“Making qingtuan with his hands helped him relax for a while.”指亲手制作青团帮助他放松了一阵子,合理解释了缓解长时间学习疲劳的作用,并与空后的“also”形成并列呼应。
【18题详解】
前文提到该课程旨在鼓励学生培养实用技能并尊重劳动“encourage students to develop practical skills and respect labour”,空处位于第三段末尾。选项E“Similar classes are becoming popular at universities across China.”指出类似的课程正在全国各大高校流行开来,承接上文的特色课程,并自然引出第四段关于中国海洋大学茶园课程的事例。
【19题详解】
前文提到中国海洋大学开设了茶园课程且Huang Hanbing选修了该课程“Huang Hanbing did that”,空后提到学期中她学习了茶叶制作的各个阶段“During the term, she learnt every stage of tea production…”。选项D“She still remembers stepping into the tea fields for the first time.”描述了她初次走进茶园的难忘经历,代词“She”承接Huang Hanbing,话题与茶园紧密相连,衔接自然。
【20题详解】
前文提到课程结束时她提交了报告和亲手种出的茶叶“handed in both a report and tea she grew herself”,空后提到然而许多人认为这些课程提供了常规课堂之外的教学“However, many believe they offer lessons beyond the usual classroom”。选项B“These classes are not directly linked to students’ majors.”指出这些劳动课程与学生的专业并无直接关联,与空后的转折连词“However”形成鲜明的语义对比,逻辑严谨。

【导语】本文讲述淳于髡巧用谜语劝谏齐威王的典故,告诉我们只要有勇气改变,人人都有机会成就大事,智慧的言语可以起到有力的警示作用。
【36题详解】
句意:虽然他相貌普通,但他很聪慧,擅长言谈。固定搭配be good at doing sth.意为“擅长做某事”,at是介词,后面要接动名词。结合后文他完成很多外交任务、用谜语劝说君王,能看出他口才出众,此处需要表达“说话交谈”的含义。方框内speak表示“说话、言谈”,变为动名词speaking;方框剩下单词和外交口才的语境不匹配,应填speaking。
【37题详解】
句意:他为齐国成功完成许多外交任务。many表示“许多”,后面接可数名词复数。结合前文他口才出众,承担齐国对外交涉相关工作,此处需要表达“任务”的含义。方框内task意为“任务”,复数形式tasks,diplomatic tasks表示“外交任务”,契合外交工作的语境;其余词汇无法表达“任务”这一含义,应填tasks。
【38题详解】
句意:整个国家陷入混乱,邻国趁机攻打齐国。此处需要形容词修饰名词state。结合上下文齐威王不理朝政,全国局势动荡不安,此处需要表达“整个的”含义。方框内whole作形容词,意为“整个的”,修饰名词state,the whole state表示“整个国家”,应填whole。
【39题详解】
句意:更糟糕的是,国王脾气很差,讨厌其他人的建议,所以没有人敢进言。空后为名词advice,需要定语表所属关系。结合后文没人敢劝谏国王,可知国王反感旁人提出的意见,此处需要表达“其他人的”含义。方框内other作代词,先变为复数代词others(指代多个人),再变形为所有格others’,意为“其他人的”;方框其余单词不能表达所属含义,应填others’。
【40题详解】
句意:然而,淳于髡不能眼看着国王坐在那里无所作为。情态动词couldn’t后面接动词原形,固定搭配watch sb. do sth.意为“看着某人做某事”。结合上下文国家处在危难之中,淳于髡不忍心旁观君王荒废朝政,此处需要表达“眼睁睁看着”的含义。方框内watch意为“眼睁睁看着”,符合语义。
【41题详解】
句意:它待在那里三年,不飞也不鸣叫。空后是时间段“three years”,当要描述动作持续多长时间,常用介词加时间段的结构。结合语境这只大鸟在宫殿停留长达三年,此处需要引出持续的时间段。方框内for是介词,可用来引出持续的时间,for three years表示“持续三年”符合该用法;方框其余单词不能用来引出持续的时间段,应填for。
【42题详解】
句意:一旦它开始高飞、高声鸣叫,这只鸟就会震惊天下。空格前后是两个完整句子,需要填入连词,用来连接两个分句。结合上下文,这是齐威王听完谜语后的回答,前半句是后半句事情发生的条件,此处需要表达“一旦”的含义。方框内once作连词,意为“一旦”,可以引导条件性质的时间状语从句;方框剩下词汇无法表达该条件逻辑,应填once。
【43题详解】
句意:在那之后,国王发生了极大改变。空格后面是动词changed,修饰动词需要使用副词。结合后文他努力治理国家,说明国王改变的程度很大,此处需要表达“极大地”含义。方框内形容词great变为副词greatly,意为“极大地”;方框其他词不能作副词修饰动词,应填greatly。
【44题详解】
句意:很快齐国变得强大,于是百姓过上了幸福的生活。结合前文“Soon, Qi became powerful”可知,此处叙述过去发生的故事,时态应为一般过去时。结合语境国家强盛,百姓拥有幸福的生活,固定搭配lead a happy life表示“过幸福的生活”,此处需要表达“过(某种生活)” 含义。方框内lead意为“过(某种生活)”,lead的过去式为led,应填led。
【45题详解】
句意:这个故事告诉我们,如果人们足够勇敢去做出改变,每个人都有机会成就大事。系动词are后面要接形容词作表语。结合故事,淳于髡敢于劝谏,齐威王敢于改过,此处需要表达“勇敢的”含义。方框内brave是形容词,意为“勇敢的”,brave enough表示“足够勇敢”;方框剩下词汇不符合形容词表品性的要求,应填brave。

【47题详解】

How can I improve my pronunciation/What else can I do
54.
How can I learn useful expressions/What is the best way to learn useful expressions
55.
Thank you very much/Thanks for your help/Thanks for your advice
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了B为了提高英语水平加入英语俱乐部,A针对B在口语、发音以及实用表达积累等方面的困惑提出具体学习建议的日常交际对话。
【51题详解】
下文B明确回答想提高英语口语“I want to improve my spoken English.”。故用疑问句“What skills do you want to improve”或“What do you want to improve”询问对方具体想提高哪项技能,与下文形成严密的问答呼应。
【52题详解】
上文A询问是否曾和同伴练习过对话“Have you ever practised conversations with partners?”,后文B说明自己在家独自学习“I study English alone at home.”。故用否定简略答语“No, I haven’t”或“No, never”回答以Have开头的一般疑问句,符合对话逻辑。
【53题详解】
下文A建议在线听对话或文章并跟读,且提到“Your pronunciation will improve a lot by doing so.”明确针对发音进行指导。故用疑问句“How can I improve my pronunciation”或“What else can I do”主动请教如何改善发音或寻求更多建议,自然引出A关于听读练习的回答。
【54题详解】
下文A明确就积累实用表达的方法做出解答:“I think the best way to learn useful expressions is to read.”。故用疑问句“How can I learn useful expressions”或“What is the best way to learn useful expressions”针对如何学习实用表达进行提问,与下文的回答形成精准对应。
【55题详解】
听完一系列热心建议后,下文A用礼貌客套语“You are welcome.”作答。故用表达感谢的句子“Thank you very much/Thanks for your help/Thanks for your advice”向对方表达由衷谢意,与下文的应答契合。

Secondly, forming a picture in your mind is also a good way, which can make things easier to remember. Thirdly, having a healthy diet is necessary.
