I used to believe that only words could catch the essence (本质) of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything.
That belief changed.
In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What’s 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0.99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1, there’s still a 0.01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn’t that make them completely different?
My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式): 1 = 0.9, which could also be expressed as 1=0.9999… repeating itself without ever ending.
There was something mysterious but attractive about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.
Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future.
So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that: 1 = 0.9999… and live a life like it.
24. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1?
A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins.
C. Their different sounds. D. Their expressive power.
25. What made the author find the equation attractive?
A. The repetition of a number. B. The difference between two numbers.
C. The question the teacher raised. D. The way two different numbers are equal.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “paralleled” in paragraph 6?
A. Measured. B. Mirrored. C. Composed. D. Influenced.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Perfect Equation. B. Numbers Build Equations.
C. An Attractive Question. D. Words Outperform Numbers.

By 2028, China’s overseas travel market is projected to increase to 200 million trips, according to a recent survey. Economic factors and health and safety considerations continue to influence travel decisions. And cost of travel has become the primary factor affecting the sale of overseas travel. Digital platforms are increasingly decisive in travel decisions, especially among the younger groups. Those travelling are reshaping the world’s tourism.
According to the survey, 54% of people choose independent travel, especially to places which offer affordable prices, rich culture, and high-quality activities. Subramania Bhatt, Founder and CEO of China Trading Desk, says Gen Z travellers show greater interest in adventurous travel. Singapore and South Korea are particularly popular, with South Korea’s attraction driven by K-pop culture. Price is also the main driving factor while deciding on the accommodation, especially for Gen Z travellers. Bhatt calls this group extremely important, as they make up a great part of travellers, who show high digital use and spend on travel experiences.
In addition, nearly half of the people interviewed plan to spend over 25,000 RMB per trip. The focus is on accommodations, air tickets, and food. However, shopping for expensive goods abroad remains popular, driven by cost advantages and unique character. Digital wallets are the preferred payment methods, showing China’s cashless society’s influence on global tourism. Among Gen Z trips, the dependence on digital payments is higher with only a small percentage using credit cards while travelling internationally.

The characteristics of the modern Chinese traveller are various and complex. Gen Z explorers who value unique shareable experiences depend heavily on digital platforms and often book last-minute trips. Family-centered travellers like kid-friendly and multi-generational activities. These travellers prefer well-planned vacations designed for families, stressing comfort and safety. Wealthy people request personalized experiences. Careful first-time travellers pay attention to safety and affordability. These economical travellers depend on organized tours and recommendations for their first international travel. “Targeted (有针对性的) marketing strategies must address specific traveller groups,” Bhatt said.
28. Which factor influences China’s overseas travel most?
A. The travel expenses. B. Visitors’ health conditions.
C. The destination’s safety. D. Advertisements on social platforms.
29. What does Bhatt think of Gen Z travellers?
A. They are economical travellers. B. They are culturally curious.
C. They are worth more attention. D. They are interested in technology.
30. What does paragraph 3 discuss about Chinese overseas travellers?
A. Their spending habits. B. Their favored attractions.
C. Their travel experience. D. Their influence on tourism.
31. What may be talked in the following paragraph?
A. Why travel patterns change. B. How the economy shapes tourism.
C. Where visitors prefer to go. D. What overseas countries can do.

Partying the night before a big exam. Preparing at the last minute for a work presentation. Running a 5K in a heavy Halloween costume. All are examples of what psychologists call “self-handicapping” — creating obstacles (障碍) to success to protect one’s reputation. “Much previous research has explained it as a matter of personality,” said Yang Xiang, a psychology researcher.
Xiang and her co-authors have designed a mathematical model of how the phenomenon works socially. Their theory suggests people often judge someone’s competence from only one or two performances. So, if a person expects to be judged, creating an obstacle can give failure another explanation. In this way, self-handicapping is an attempt to influence those judgments. “You’re doing this because it works,” Xiang said.
To test the theory, the researchers created a quiz-show experiment in which participants could choose how their performance would be judged. 20 questions were provided, and 8 correct answers meant a pass. Some chose to be judged on all 20 questions, while others on a random subset of 10. Choosing the random subset created uncertainty and offered a possible excuse for failure, making it a form of self-handicapping.
As the model confirmed, the behavior occurred most frequently among those least likely to fail — or to succeed. When self-handicappers succeeded, judges rated them especially highly. The behavior also softened judgments of those who failed. However, this protection weakened when the strategy was seen through, suggesting it worked best when judges were less aware of it.
Previous studies show self-handicapping can weaken educational goals. It has been linked with lower self-esteem (自尊), lower motivation, and declining student performance. The new research suggests that a shift in educators’ focus may help. When students are driven by the pressure to look smart, they remain highly likely to self-handicap. Instead, focusing on students’ progress over the rankings can further reduce their need to create excuses. “By understanding the psychology behind this behavior,” Xiang noted, “we hope this research reveals ways to prevent harmful academic self-handicapping.”
32. Why do people self-handicap according to Paragraph 1?
A. To prepare fully for challenges. B. To excuse possible failure.
C. To mask their personal weaknesses. D. To earn praise through success.
33. What makes self-handicapping effective in social judgment?
A. Judges tend to forgive failure. B. Judges value effort over ability.
C. Judges rely on limited performances. D. Judges rarely judge competence.
34. What can we learn from the quiz-show experiment result?
A. It works best when unnoticed. B. Students dominate the experiment.
C. It guarantees lifelong protection. D. Successful self-handicappers are undervalued.
35. What suggestion do the researchers give to educators?
A. Stress high rankings. B. Criticize students for making excuses.
C. Value progress over rankings. D. Encourage showing intelligence publicly.

Personality assessments (评价) have become so popular in modern life that they are hard to completely avoid. 36 They show up in on-boarding training, management programs, and CEO classrooms. That familiarity brings acceptance, to the point where not taking an assessment can feel like a missing part.
One problem is that much of the personality testing industry has shaky scientific support. More concerning still, many people consider their results as definitive (最权威的) descriptions of who they are. 37
Many of the most widely used personality assessments are never built through years of scientific research. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), for example, was developed by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers, drawing heavily on Carl Jung’s ideas of psychological types. 38 And the instrument was designed primarily for practical use in wartime America. Other similar tools followed a comparable path, placing usability ahead of scientific support.
39 Researchers have raised concerns about their weak test-retest dependability — people often receive different results when they retake the same test. Others have noted the weak power of these instruments when it comes to job performance or real-world behavior.
The right way to use personality assessments is like using a broken ruler. 40 But you might still use it for comparison. Applied rightly, such tools can show differences between people and open conversations about choices, communication styles, and pain points within teams. Used this way, they become starting points rather than assessment.
A. You don’t have another ruler.
B. These tests are often discussed for fun.
C. You would never depend on its exactness.
D. That misunderstanding is where the real trouble begins.
E. There are some test tools we meet as we enter the world.
F. Neither of them had formal training in psychology and assessment.
G. Problems about popular personality tests have been around for long.
