Part of STEM learning is seeing and doing, and then recording and analyzing the results. But not all online or homeschool programs are set up to accommodate science experiments or other STEM learning activities. Let’s take a look at a few mind-blowing labs that can help bring STEM topics alive for your child’s online school experience.
Weather Laboratories
To make learning about weather accessible and fun, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) created a lot of informative weather activities and virtual labs they recommend for students and educators. In fact, their weather science content for kids features a Weather Lab application that allows middle school students to predict weather patterns, and learn what happens when ocean currents and air masses interact.
Simulations (模拟) for Science and Math
It is a project of the University of Colorado Boulder and one of the richest single databases of online science interactives and virtual labs. Investigate more than 150 physics, chemistry, math, biology, and Earth science topics. Available in dozens of languages, the interactives are searchable by grade level, subject, and accessibility.
Space Exploration Simulations
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) features many STEM learning activities for students in grades K-12. The interactive simulations are also gamified and make learning engaging and fun for your child. The app allows users to explore the universe and unlock stories of trailblazing scientists and their contributions to space exploration and science.
1. Who are the intended readers?
A. Parents. B. Students. C. Teachers. D. Researchers.
2. What makes Simulations for Science and Math different from the other labs?
A. It covers the most subjects. B. It has a translation centre.
C. It offers gamified learning experiences. D. It provides multiple tools for recording.
3. What do all the three labs have in common?
A. They centre on problem solving skills.
B. They facilitate advanced scientific research.
C. They provide virtual scientific exploration.
D. They help students with STEM projects from school.

After ten years in London, I recently relocated to Berlin, and as is customary when making new friends, the question “Where are you from?” tends to come up. My honest answer would be, “I don’t really know.”
The truth is, most of us TCKs (Third Culture Kids) — a term coined to describe “children who move between cultures before they have had the opportunity to fully develop their personal and cultural identity” — had no choice growing up but to follow our parents around the world. We’d often be told, “Pack your bags, kids. We’re moving!” and in the blink of an eye, everything would change.
By the time I was 18, I had changed schools 10 times, moved countries at least 6 times, acquired a confusing accent, and developed both a love of travel and a desire for stability. Being an Indonesian-Italian, I often felt an identity crisis weighing on me in my teens.
Moving to a new country after spending ten years in the UK — the longest I have lived anywhere — has brought back feelings of this cultural confusion. Growing up as a TCK isn’t as charming as many people would expect. It is both a blessing and a curse (诅咒), beautiful but unpredictable, and full of adventures. This lack of roots and stability will likely cause issues later in life.
Yet kids are adaptable. After overcoming culture shock, you start to adjust and see the bigger picture. You learn that the world is much bigger than you, and that your problems are small. You also learn responsibility, respect different beliefs, and form your own opinions. Making friends and then losing touch teaches you that everything is temporary.
Growing up as a TCK, you rarely realize how adaptable you are, until your older friends often comment on how “wise and mature” you are for your age. Travelling from a young age opens your eyes beyond “Hypernormalization”. It teaches that diversity is nothing to be afraid of. Growing up as a TCK was tough, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It has shaped me to be the person that I am today — an actual “citizen of the world”.
4. How does the author usually respond to “Where are you from”?
A. By stating her nationality directly. B. By admitting her uncertainty honestly.
C. By explaining the TCK concept briefly. D. By describing her experiences in detail.
5. What does the author say about TCKs’ childhood?
A. They enjoyed planning their moves.
B. They resisted their parents’ decisions.
C. They maintained their personal lifestyle.
D. They were forced to adapt to sudden changes.
6. Which of the following can best describe TCKs’ experiences?
A. Tough and confusing. B. Peaceful and predictable.
C. Routine but eye-opening. D. Adventurous but beneficial.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Growing up as a TCK B. Challenges for Migration
C. How to Become a Global Citizen D. How to Adapt to Diverse Cultures
C
It’s Monday morning again. Like many others, you spend your weekend resting, say, scrolling on your phone, but somehow when the workweek arrives, you never feel as refreshed as you hoped. You wonder: Is there a better way to recharge? Now research suggests the answer is “yes” and it lies in leisure crafting.
Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time, but how you do it. It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills. The idea is not to completely shift your approach to free time — or even pick up new pursuits-as much as it is to integrate a few specific goals. Like to run? Try training for a race. Enjoy reading? Aim to read a certain number of books every month.
Setting goals in off-hours looks like another example of letting work-brain logic inch its way into personal lives. But done right, it can help you feel a sense of purpose, confidence, and accomplishment, says Alex Hamrick, a management professor at the University of Richmond. Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that individuals reported higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being after engaging in leisure crafting.
While leisure crafting requires commitment and goal-setting, it is still simply that: leisure. The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job. Research has shown that people’s productivity tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week. Expanding the hours spent maximizing output, even in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels, could make you more tired. Hamrick agrees that if purposeful pursuits start to feel like work, it might be time to stop. Leisure crafting should enhance-not replace-other forms of relaxation.
A recent government guide to getting off your phone included the suggestion of setting a recreational goal as a diversion from the screen. Beyond all the grander reasons to leisure craft, that simple one may be among the most relevant.
8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Lack of effective ways to rest. B. Working through the weekend.
C. Addiction to playing on phones. D. Feeling worried about the future.
9. Which of the following is the main feature of leisure crafting?
A. Shifting your life focus. B. Extending your free time.
C. Acting with a purpose. D. Taking up new hobbies.
10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning leisure crafting?
A. Its approaches. B. Its purposes. C. Its benefits. D. Its examples.
11. Why does the author mention the research in paragraph 4?
A. To argue against setting unrealistic goals.
B. To warn against overdoing leisure crafting.
C. To explain why commitment is vital for success.
D. To prove how leisure crafting improves efficiency.

Is there food on Mars? Almost certainly not. But astronauts need to eat every day, and sending food to space is super expensive—one meal can cost $10, 000. Thus, finding a way to feed them on the trip to Mars is a really big challenge.
Now, UK-based researchers think they have the solution. Dr Rodrigo, the lead researcher, says astronauts could grow their own food while flying to Mars. These researchers are carrying out a project for astronauts to produce food in a smart and Earth-friendly way, using a few special cells (细胞) and mini cell factories to create useful products.
The project has now been tested in space when a spaceship took cells into orbit. The cells were in a mini space lab. It is like a small science lab in a box that lets scientists do experiments under microgravity, without the usual limits of space research. In the space lab, cells grew and produced a particular vitamin (维生素). “This material could be collected and eaten by astronauts in the space,” Dr Rodrigo said, “but the space lab is hard to bring. So we need to rethink how it may look like.”
Dr Rodrigo and his team hope even a short time in microgravity will show whether their cells can produce different kinds of food, from milk products to ice cream. They also hope the technology will be applied to a wide range of industries. “In the future, when we build a base on the Moon, we'll need space labs like this to help people live there for a long time, ” he said.
12. What makes feeding astronauts on the trip to Mars challenging?
A. High cost of space meals. B. Limited space for food.
C. Long transportation time. D. Uncertainty of cell growth.
13. What is the purpose of the project carried out by researchers?
A. To find food on Mars. B. To create food in space.
C. To explore life on Mars. D. To send astronauts to space.
14. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The role of vitamin in space. B. The health problems of astronauts.
C. The design work of spaceship. D. The test of the project in space lab.
15. What does Dr Rodrigo think of space labs?
A. Easy to bring to space. B. Important for the Moon bases.
C. Expensive to build in space. D. Difficult for humans to produce.

Making Your Memories Last
“My father wrote me a lovely letter before he died. It is the most cherished thing I own.” Have you ever heard someone say so?
As you all know,your houses, cars, jewels or even money are your financial properties, which are relatively easy to pass along because they are in a physical form.

____20____
You can’t possibly get everything done at once. By taking active steps and starting with the easiest-to-create projects, you can bring memories to life.

When you see the results of these smaller projects, you may well be inspired to create more.
A. Take simple steps

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。
Asher loved spending time in his grandfather's garden. Every evening, he carefully held the watering can as his grandfather showed him how to pour just the right amount on each plant. “These plants need us, Asher,” Grandpa often said. “If we take care of them, they will take care of us.”
Asher loved plants. He loved their bright green leaves, the way they danced in the wind, and how fresh they smelled after rain. Plants made him feel calm and safe. But when it came to people, Asher was not so confident. At school, he was one of the quietest kids. While others laughed and played loudly, he often sat alone, unsure how to join them.
One afternoon during break, Asher walked past the big oak tree (橡树) near the playground. A group of kids stood nearby, pulling leaves from its lower branches and throwing them into the air. “Look! Leaf rain!” one of them shouted, laughing.
Asher’s chest tightened. He loved trees. He knew that leaves helped trees breathe and grow. He wanted to say something, but fear held him back. What if they laughed at him? What if they ignored him? After a moment, he turned away and walked back to the classroom without saying a word.
That evening, Asher sat in the garden with his grandfather, watering the plants as usual, but his mind was not at peace. His silence did not escape Grandpa. After a while, Asher shared what had happened at school and how he felt. He explained that he wanted to protect the tree but did not feel brave enough.
His grandfather listened carefully. He told Asher that courage does not mean being fearless. It means doing what is right, even when fear is present. He reminded Asher that change often begins with one small voice and one brave choice. Those words stayed in Asher’s mind all night.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The next day during break, Asher saw the same kids pulling leaves just like before.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The kids soon agreed to Asher’s suggestion.

B
After ten years in London, I recently relocated to Berlin, and as is customary when making new friends, the question “Where are you from?” tends to come up. My honest answer would be, “I don’t really know.”
The truth is, most of us TCKs (Third Culture Kids) — a term coined to describe “children who move between cultures before they have had the opportunity to fully develop their personal and cultural identity” — had no choice growing up but to follow our parents around the world. We’d often be told, “Pack your bags, kids. We’re moving!” and in the blink of an eye, everything would change.
By the time I was 18, I had changed schools 10 times, moved countries at least 6 times, acquired a confusing accent, and developed both a love of travel and a desire for stability. Being an Indonesian-Italian, I often felt an identity crisis weighing on me in my teens.
Moving to a new country after spending ten years in the UK — the longest I have lived anywhere — has brought back feelings of this cultural confusion. Growing up as a TCK isn’t as charming as many people would expect. It is both a blessing and a curse (诅咒), beautiful but unpredictable, and full of adventures. This lack of roots and stability will likely cause issues later in life.
Yet kids are adaptable. After overcoming culture shock, you start to adjust and see the bigger picture. You learn that the world is much bigger than you, and that your problems are small. You also learn responsibility, respect different beliefs, and form your own opinions. Making friends and then losing touch teaches you that everything is temporary.
Growing up as a TCK, you rarely realize how adaptable you are, until your older friends often comment on how “wise and mature” you are for your age. Travelling from a young age opens your eyes beyond “Hypernormalization”. It teaches that diversity is nothing to be afraid of. Growing up as a TCK was tough, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It has shaped me to be the person that I am today — an actual “citizen of the world”.
4. How does the author usually respond to “Where are you from”?
A. By stating her nationality directly. B. By admitting her uncertainty honestly.
C. By explaining the TCK concept briefly. D. By describing her experiences in detail.
5. What does the author say about TCKs’ childhood?
A. They enjoyed planning their moves.
B. They resisted their parents’ decisions.
C. They maintained their personal lifestyle.
D. They were forced to adapt to sudden changes.
6. Which of the following can best describe TCKs’ experiences?
A. Tough and confusing. B. Peaceful and predictable.
C. Routine but eye-opening. D. Adventurous but beneficial.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Growing up as a TCK B. Challenges for Migration
C. How to Become a Global Citizen D. How to Adapt to Diverse Cultures
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A

It’s Monday morning again. Like many others, you spend your weekend resting, say, scrolling on your phone, but somehow when the workweek arrives, you never feel as refreshed as you hoped. You wonder: Is there a better way to recharge? Now research suggests the answer is “yes” and it lies in leisure crafting.
Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time, but how you do it. It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills. The idea is not to completely shift your approach to free time — or even pick up new pursuits-as much as it is to integrate a few specific goals. Like to run? Try training for a race. Enjoy reading? Aim to read a certain number of books every month.
Setting goals in off-hours looks like another example of letting work-brain logic inch its way into personal lives. But done right, it can help you feel a sense of purpose, confidence, and accomplishment, says Alex Hamrick, a management professor at the University of Richmond. Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that individuals reported higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being after engaging in leisure crafting.
While leisure crafting requires commitment and goal-setting, it is still simply that: leisure. The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job. Research has shown that people’s productivity tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week. Expanding the hours spent maximizing output, even in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels, could make you more tired. Hamrick agrees that if purposeful pursuits start to feel like work, it might be time to stop. Leisure crafting should enhance-not replace-other forms of relaxation.
A recent government guide to getting off your phone included the suggestion of setting a recreational goal as a diversion from the screen. Beyond all the grander reasons to leisure craft, that simple one may be among the most relevant.
8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Lack of effective ways to rest. B. Working through the weekend.
C. Addiction to playing on phones. D. Feeling worried about the future.
9. Which of the following is the main feature of leisure crafting?
A. Shifting your life focus. B. Extending your free time.
C. Acting with a purpose. D. Taking up new hobbies.
10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning leisure crafting?
A. Its approaches. B. Its purposes. C. Its benefits. D. Its examples.
11. Why does the author mention the research in paragraph 4?
A. To argue against setting unrealistic goals.
B. To warn against overdoing leisure crafting.
C. To explain why commitment is vital for success.
D. To prove how leisure crafting improves efficiency.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了休闲规划这一概念,包括其定义、特点、益处以及实施时的注意事项。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Like many others, you spend your weekend resting, say, scrolling on your phone, but somehow when the workweek arrives, you never feel as refreshed as you hoped. You wonder: Is there a better way to recharge? (和许多人一样,你周末休息,比如刷手机,但不知为何,当工作日到来时,你从未感到像自己希望的那样精神焕发。你想知道:有没有更好的恢复精力的方法?)”可知,第一段描述的现象是缺乏有效的休息方式。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time, but how you do it. It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills. (休闲规划不在于你在空闲时间做什么,而在于你如何做。它涉及以有意图的方式构建你已经喜欢做的事情,以便它们帮助你设定个人目标、促进社交联系和培养技能。)”可知,休闲规划的主要特点是有目的地行动。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that individuals reported higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being after engaging in leisure crafting. (研究人员对2400多名职场人士进行了11项实地研究,发现参与休闲规划后,个人的能量水平更高、情绪更积极、整体幸福感更强。)”可知,第三段主要讲的是休闲规划的益处。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“While leisure crafting requires commitment and goal-setting, it is still simply that: leisure. The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job. Research has shown that people’s productivity tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week. Expanding the hours spent maximizing output, even in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels, could make you more tired. (虽然休闲规划需要投入和设定目标,但它仍然只是休闲。目标不是把爱好变成第二份工作。研究表明,人们的工作效率在一周60小时后往往会停止增长。即使是为了完善烹饪技巧或阅读侦探小说而延长工作时间,也可能会让你更累。)”可知,作者提到第四段的研究是为了警告不要过度进行休闲规划。
D
Is there food on Mars? Almost certainly not. But astronauts need to eat every day, and sending food to space is super expensive—one meal can cost $10, 000. Thus, finding a way to feed them on the trip to Mars is a really big challenge.
Now, UK-based researchers think they have the solution. Dr Rodrigo, the lead researcher, says astronauts could grow their own food while flying to Mars. These researchers are carrying out a project for astronauts to produce food in a smart and Earth-friendly way, using a few special cells (细胞) and mini cell factories to create useful products.
The project has now been tested in space when a spaceship took cells into orbit. The cells were in a mini space lab. It is like a small science lab in a box that lets scientists do experiments under microgravity, without the usual limits of space research. In the space lab, cells grew and produced a particular vitamin (维生素). “This material could be collected and eaten by astronauts in the space,” Dr Rodrigo said, “but the space lab is hard to bring. So we need to rethink how it may look like.”
Dr Rodrigo and his team hope even a short time in microgravity will show whether their cells can produce different kinds of food, from milk products to ice cream. They also hope the technology will be applied to a wide range of industries. “In the future, when we build a base on the Moon, we'll need space labs like this to help people live there for a long time, ” he said.
12. What makes feeding astronauts on the trip to Mars challenging?
A. High cost of space meals. B. Limited space for food.
C. Long transportation time. D. Uncertainty of cell growth.
13. What is the purpose of the project carried out by researchers?
A. To find food on Mars. B. To create food in space.
C. To explore life on Mars. D. To send astronauts to space.
14. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The role of vitamin in space. B. The health problems of astronauts.
C. The design work of spaceship. D. The test of the project in space lab.
15. What does Dr Rodrigo think of space labs?
A. Easy to bring to space. B. Important for the Moon bases.
C. Expensive to build in space. D. Difficult for humans to produce.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B

Modern life moves faster than our minds were designed to handle. In the last twenty years, technology ____36____ (advance) ahead of human evolution. We live in a 24/7 digital world, but our brains still run on ancient “hardware” designed for ____37____(survive). This “speed gap” helps explain ____38____ we often feel overwhelmed. Our ancestors faced short bursts of stress from physical ____39____ (threat), but today we face “small alarms” all day. An angry email or a social media notification (通知) activates the same heart-racing response as a lion. Feeling ____40____ (stress) today is a natural biological reaction to a nonstop world.

This prevents the body from entering the essential “rest and digest” state needed for long-term health, ____42____ (leave) us feeling permanently “fried.” In fact, much of ____43____ mental exhaustion comes from “decision overload.” We make thousands of choices daily, which consumes the brain’s energy. To address this, experts recommend using self-exploration questions to cut through the noise, such as “Is it worth my peace of mind?” By making fewer, more ____44____ (intention) decisions, you protect your mental battery and save your precious energy ____45____ things that truly matter. By respecting your biological limits, you make the fast-paced world feel less threatening.
【答案】36. has advanced

【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了现代生活节奏远超人类大脑进化速度,导致人们长期处于高压和决策疲劳状态,并提出了通过减少决策、尊重生理极限来应对这一问题的方法。
【36题详解】
考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:在过去二十年里,技术的发展已经超越了人类进化的速度。时间状语“In the last twenty years”是现在完成时的典型标志,表示从过去持续到现在的动作或状态。主语technology是单数。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:我们生活在一个7×24小时的数字世界中,但我们的大脑仍然运行在古老的“硬件”上,这些硬件是为生存而设计的。介词for后需要接名词,survive的名词形式是survival。
【38题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:这种“速度差”有助于解释为什么我们经常感到不堪重负。explain后接宾语从句,从句意“这‘速度差’解释了为什么我们常常感到不堪重负”可知,缺少原因状语,应填连接副词why。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:我们的祖先面临着来自身体威胁的短暂压力爆发,但今天我们却整天面对“小警报”。physical是形容词,修饰名词。threat (威胁) 是可数名词,且前面无冠词,根据句意“来自身体威胁的短期压力”,此处应用复数形式threats,指代多种威胁。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:如今感到有压力是对这个永不停歇的世界的一种自然的生物反应。系动词"Feeling"后需接形容词作表语,修饰人,stressed是过去分词形容词化,意为“感到有压力的”。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:我们连续数小时处于这种“高度警戒”模式中。此处修饰介词短语in this “high alert” mode,应用副词形式。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这阻止了身体进入长期健康所必需的“休息和消化”状态,使我们感到永久性的“精疲力竭”。本句已有谓语动词prevents,因此leave需要用非谓语形式。This prevents...导致的结果是“让我们感觉永久‘精疲力竭’”,leaving引导的现在分词短语在句中作结果状语。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:事实上,大部分的精神疲惫来自于“决策过载”。mental exhaustion是特指上文描述的那种因持续高度警觉和决策过载导致的疲惫,因此需要定冠词the表示特指。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:通过做出更少、更有意图的决策,你保护了自己的精神电池,并将宝贵的精力节省下来用于真正重要的事情。more修饰形容词,intention的形容词形式是intentional。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:通过做出更少、更有意图的决策,你保护了自己的精神电池,并将宝贵的精力节省下来用于真正重要的事情。save...for...是固定搭配,意为“为……节省……”。句意为“将你宝贵的精力节省下来,用于那些真正重要的事情。”

Though several cyclists were tired, they still tried their best to keep up with the main team. Through one-hour cycling, all reached the finishing line safely. All the participants were excited to take part in the event, saying that they hope to join in more activities like this. Have you got similar events that you can tell me about?

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。
Asher loved spending time in his grandfather's garden. Every evening, he carefully held the watering can as his grandfather showed him how to pour just the right amount on each plant. “These plants need us, Asher,” Grandpa often said. “If we take care of them, they will take care of us.”
Asher loved plants. He loved their bright green leaves, the way they danced in the wind, and how fresh they smelled after rain. Plants made him feel calm and safe. But when it came to people, Asher was not so confident. At school, he was one of the quietest kids. While others laughed and played loudly, he often sat alone, unsure how to join them.
One afternoon during break, Asher walked past the big oak tree (橡树) near the playground. A group of kids stood nearby, pulling leaves from its lower branches and throwing them into the air. “Look! Leaf rain!” one of them shouted, laughing.
Asher’s chest tightened. He loved trees. He knew that leaves helped trees breathe and grow. He wanted to say something, but fear held him back. What if they laughed at him? What if they ignored him? After a moment, he turned away and walked back to the classroom without saying a word.
That evening, Asher sat in the garden with his grandfather, watering the plants as usual, but his mind was not at peace. His silence did not escape Grandpa. After a while, Asher shared what had happened at school and how he felt. He explained that he wanted to protect the tree but did not feel brave enough.
His grandfather listened carefully. He told Asher that courage does not mean being fearless. It means doing what is right, even when fear is present. He reminded Asher that change often begins with one small voice and one brave choice. Those words stayed in Asher’s mind all night.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The next day during break, Asher saw the same kids pulling leaves just like before.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The kids soon agreed to Asher’s suggestion.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next day during break, Asher saw the same kids pulling leaves just like before. This time, he didn’t walk away. His heart pounded, but Grandpa’s words echoed in his mind: courage means doing what is right even when you are afraid. Taking a shaky breath, Asher stepped forward. “Hey,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “Please stop.” The kids turned, surprised. “Leaves help trees breathe,” Asher continued, trying to sound calm. “If you pull them all off, the tree could get sick and die.” For a long moment, nobody spoke. Then one boy dropped the leaf in his hand. “Really?” he asked. “I never thought about that.” Asher nodded, feeling a small wave of confidence. “Instead of hurting it,” he suggested, “we could protect it together.”
The kids soon agreed to Asher’s suggestion. They fetched cardboard and bright markers from the classroom and made a large sign that read, “Protect Our Tree — It Gives Us Shade and Clean Air.” Together, they tied it to the oak tree. Over the next few weeks, the group took turns watering the tree and picking up litter around it. Asher no longer sat alone during break. He stood and laughed with his new friends under the spreading branches. One afternoon, Grandpa came to pick him up and saw the sign. His eyes shone with pride. “You see, Asher?” he said quietly. “You took care of the tree, and the tree brought you friends.” Asher smiled, feeling the warm sun and an even warmer sense of belonging. He finally understood: when we take care of plants, they take care of us in ways we never expect.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物Asher为线索展开,讲述了Asher十分喜爱植物与祖父的花园,但性格内向胆怯,在学校不善交际;课间看到同学肆意采摘橡树树叶时内心想要制止却因恐惧退缩,当晚向祖父倾诉烦恼,祖父开导他勇气不是毫无畏惧,而是心怀恐惧仍坚守正确之事,之后Asher鼓起勇气上前劝说同学、众人一起守护橡树并收获友谊。
