“Mom, when will we live in a nice house ” 13 - year - old Simon asked his mother. “It's getting colder here.” “Very soon...” Annie said in tears. But she was aware that “very soon” would never arrive. Her salary was barely enough to afford food and education for her son.
The next morning, Simon's friends called him out to play, but the boy refused because he couldn't be happy whenever he thought about his mom's struggles. He went for a walk alone and was surprised looking at one boy busy putting money in a box behind his lemonade stand. He, too, wanted to set up a stand. He ran home and begged his mother for money.
Later that afternoon, the boy returned home with a bunch of packets. He began digging in the garden, making several beds, and sowing seeds. “Simon, what are you doing ” Annie asked him. “Do we have time for all this What's wrong with you ” The boy smiled and said, “Mom, only if we sow today can we harvest tomorrow!”
For the next several weeks, Simon worked very hard in his garden. His fresh garden produce was what people wanted to take home for a nutritious meal. He had used natural pesticides (農(nóng)藥). Annie quit her job and started to help her son by setting up a vegetable stand. Gradually, they started making more money than Simon had thought, and moved to a new house. Their stand was now bigger and attracted the town's attention.
A wealthy farmer, Alex, wanted to meet Simon to learn the tricks of the trade and to beat him in the race to fame. One day, Alex drove to his garden. He expected the smell of chemicals, but there was none. “How are you able to grow such healthy produce without pesticides ” he curiously asked the boy. Simon said, “We humans can only survive by eating food, not poison. So why feed the plants harmful chemicals ”
The boy's reply hit Alex hard in the head. He was amazed at how talented Simon was. He decided to team up with him. Simon asked for Annie's opinions. After deep thought, Annie agreed.
For the next several months, the boy balanced school and gardening on Alex's farm while looking after his garden because he was always grateful for that. In no time, Alex and Simon's combined efforts succeeded. Apart from selling their produce locally, they even started shipping it to neighboring states.

Humanoids are rapidly progressing from science fiction to reality, transforming industries ranging from manufacturing (制造業(yè)) to medicine and more. In robotics, the word humanoid typically refers to a robot that has a torso (軀干), a head, two arms, and two legs. But the concept extends beyond looks. A humanoid robot actually includes human - like movement, interactive capabilities and design philosophy. With sensors, actuators (執(zhí)行器), and advanced control systems to walk, grasp objects, and interact, the robots, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), can process speech, recognize faces, and adapt to new surroundings. Their design enables them to use man - made tools and function in human - designed spaces.
Humanoid robots are available in diverse configurations (構(gòu)造) tailored to their movement capabilities and intended application. The major categories include leg - based humanoids well adapted to more dynamic environments and wheel - based robots that are optimized for flat, stable ground. For example, Bipedal Robots are built to move around on two legs, copying human balance and the way of walking. Bipedal configurations are common in the research platforms where human - like movement is necessary. Some other robots combine a humanoid upper body with wheel - based movement. This allows for higher efficiency on level or indoor surfaces while still allowing the robots to perform tasks designed for human use.
At their core, humanoid robots bring together hardware and software to copy human ability. High - definition cameras, microphones, and touch sensors allow robots to sense the world around them. Copying muscles and joints, actuators allow for smooth, coordinated movement. Advanced designs often use multiple actuators per joint to achieve human - like precision and flexibility. Integrated control architectures, often powered by AI and machine learning, coordinate the sensory inputs and outputs to actuators, preserving dynamic balance and adaptive behavior. Decision - making is driven by AI algorithms that learn from real and simulated data to improve over time. This enables humanoid robots to interact naturally with humans and handle complex tasks.
Humanoid robots are gaining more useful applications across industries. Some robots are being designed to undertake repetitive, dangerous, or highly precise tasks in manufacturing. From the hospital to the nursing home, humanoid robots serve as caregivers and assistants for patient recovery, and even help with daily care activities. Also, humanoid robots are used by most schools in order to conduct research on biomechanics, cognitive science, and robotics control. Some companies are researching home - assistance designs where robots do the household chores, like cleaning, cooking, or even companionship.
The cost of a humanoid robot varies significantly based on several determining factors. One of the factors is that humanoid robotics is a relatively new field. The production runs tend to be low during its early phase, while the research and development costs are high. Therefore, early models are costly due to the use of new components and low economies of scale.
28. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
　　A. How does a humanoid robot work
　　B. How does a humanoid robot get upgraded
　　C. How is a humanoid robot categorized
　　D. How is a humanoid robot applied in daily life
29. What can be learnt about humanoid robots from the passage
　　A. They are better at creative jobs than repetitive ones.
　　B. Bipedal Robots are designed for stable ground environments.
　　C. Their rapid research and development comes from low costs.
　　D. They have human form and carry out tasks meant for humans.
30. Which would be the best title for the passage
　　A. Humanoid Robots: Designing for Human Interaction
　　B. Humanoid Robots: Uniting Man, Machine and the Future
　　C. Humanoid Robots: Facing More Challenges in a Smarter Future
　　D. Humanoid Robots: High - Efficiency Solutions to Manufacturing

“Know thyself” is the most famous saying of Greek philosophy. The idea of self - knowledge is so foundational to a meaningful existence. In his tragedy (悲劇) Thyestes, the Stoic philosopher Seneca writes, “Death lies heavily on him / Who, though to all the world well known, / Is stranger to himself alone.” And as Shakespeare asserts in his comedy As You Like It, “The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man /knows himself to be a fool.”
　　What exactly does it mean to know yourself For neuroscientists, self - knowledge is the combination of two forms of information, your own self - beliefs and your perceptions of how others view you. This technical definition of self - knowledge concerns only the mechanisms involved and does not say anything about the quality of the information. In effect, if you think you're a rooster and believe others see you as one too, that counts as self - knowledge. However, I strongly question that the thinkers at Greece had a bit more in mind than this; they no doubt meant “Know thyself accurately.” That is a much taller order, requiring a huge quantity of truthful information about your inner states—attitudes, beliefs, emotions, and motives. Accurate self - knowledge also means avoiding mistakes and correcting illusions, being completely honest with yourself, and predicting how you will feel and react in the future.
　　By this impossibly strict standard, we probably all overestimate our capacity for accurate self - knowledge. Psychological experiments have revealed that ratings of one's own self - assessments are “moderate to poor” in accuracy and are generally less sound than external evaluations. One reason is that we're likely to make cognitive (認(rèn)知的) errors about what we see happening in our lives. Researchers have found that humans are easy to miss seeing our problems, mistakes, and opportunities.
Many things in our lives go unnoticed because we don't know the language for them or don't understand them. This is called hypo - cognition, a deficit of cognition. In studies exploring this phenomenon, British participants were more likely to notice cheese than Asian dumplings in their daily lives, while Chinese participants noticed the reverse. Much of our self - knowledge deficit comes from willful ignorance. Psychologists have long observed the human tendency to use motivated reasoning to reassure ourselves that our opinions are right, to ignore critical self - reflective information, and generally to maintain positive illusions and find ways to avoid facing reality - based negative emotions. So basic and necessary to our being are these traits that collectively they have been called our “psychological immune system.” This characteristic rationalizing is almost certainly based in our biology.
　　This human capacity to maintain ignorance in the face of potentially negative self - knowledge might make you more comfortable in the short term, but it leads to many missed opportunities for greater well - being and success in the long run. Research has shown that more honest self - awareness—of both positive and negative information—improves self - development because you know what to improve. This enables better personal decision making rooted in accurate information, especially when striving toward goals.
31. The author mentions Seneca and Shakespeare mainly to ______.
　　A. draw a comparison
　　B. give a suggestion
　　C. explain a concept
　　D. strengthen an argument
32. As for the definition of self - knowledge from neuroscientists, the author is ______.
　　A. appreciative
　　B. suspicious
　　C. unconcerned
　　D. neutral
33. What does the term “hypo - cognition” underlined in Paragraph 4 probably mean
　　A. The inability to process truthful information.
　　B. The refusal to reflect on negative information.
　　C. The lack of concepts to describe specific experiences.
　　D. The tendency to spot cultural differences in perception.
It is implied in this passage that we should ______.
A. focus on negative rather than positive feedback
B. follow the beliefs and emotions of our internal states
C. stop making excuses for unfavorable self - knowledge
D. spare no effort to get rid of imperfect self - knowledge

Cringe is having a moment. We're all just too familiar with this feeling where it's almost physically painful to watch someone do something embarrassing without being aware of how they come across.____35____ A teenager tries to shoot a TikTok video in a popular tourist spot. Or a friend tries to show off with some expensive but ugly purchase. After all, if it's so painful to watch the wedding speech where all the jokes fall flat, wouldn't it be better for us and everyone else if we just forgot about it and never mentioned it Instead, we seem to have an urge to spread the cringe.
____36____A new research by Brianna Escoe from the University of Louisiana and colleagues found out what cringe is. First, they established that cringe is the feeling of second - hand embarrassment for something someone else does, says, or posts. We'd cringe at someone trying to be funny, but we wouldn't cringe when someone is experiencing something negative without trying to make a positive impression. ____37____Next, the researchers showed that we love to talk about cringe. Participants in an experiment saw cringey social media posts that had been edited to show off and pleasant posts without a cringe factor. Participants then chose which posts to discuss in a forum. ____38____
When sharing something cringey, we get to roll our eyes together with others and feel like we're all in the know and wouldn't commit a social faux pas (失態(tài)) like the one we're sharing. ____39____By sharing the cringe, we tend to avoid being in such situations with those who have the similar values with us. In addition, sharing a cringe breaks the facade of perfection on social media and normalizes our imperfection.
A. For example, someone who had an accident deserves sympathy.
B. Surprisingly, they avoid talking about the cringey posts with others.
C. In fact, sharing cringey content brings immediate personal superiority.
D. Maybe it's a wedding speech that's trying to be funny without success.
E. But what exactly is cringe, and why do we need to share it with others
F. They were more likely to choose the awkward ones despite disliking them.
G. In other words, cringe acts as a social glue that strengthens shared norms and rules.

In a world filled with advertisements and constant pressure to consume, minimalism offers an alternative lifestyle. More than just a design aesthetic (美學(xué)) or a trend, it's a philosophy that emphasizes simplicity, intentionality, and mindfulness. Instead of pursuing the latest trends or filling their home with unnecessary items, minimalists believe that less is more.
At its core, adoption of minimalism doesn't necessarily mean complete scarcity, but rather a thoughtful selection of what truly matters. By rejecting mindless accumulation (積累), minimalism encourages a life focused on quality rather than quantity.
One primary advantage of a minimalist lifestyle is that it encourages us to be more deliberate (深思熟慮的) with our choices and actions. When we carefully select what enters our lives—whether objects, commitments, or relationships—we match our actions with our core values. This promotes deeper connections, meaningful experiences, and sustained personal growth, moving beyond materialism as a source of fulfillment.
Minimalism can also improve our mental clarity. A simplified physical space directly impacts cognitive function. When our physical environment is clutter - free, our minds can concentrate more easily. This heightened mental clarity allows for clearer thinking, better decision - making, and being more present in daily life.
Furthermore, it boosts our overall well - being. When happiness is no longer tied to possessions, appreciation for life's simple pleasures grows. This shift in mindset leads to greater overall life satisfaction and a more balanced existence.
Minimalism is not about living with nothing; it is about living with what brings genuine value. By embracing minimalism, individuals can discover that the key to a rich life lies not in abundance (繁雜), but in simplicity.
What is the core of minimalism
What are the advantages of minimalism
Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Minimalism encourages people to reduce dependence on material possessions, but this leads to a decline in people's overall life satisfaction.
Use examples to show how you can practice minimalism in daily life. (In about 40 words)

Possible version：
Dear Jim,
Happy to hear from you!
The job market is changing rapidly. Many old routine jobs disappear or are done by AI. People will probably have several different jobs over many years.
So, the ability to learn new skills is extremely important. Learning new IT skills and keeping up with technology developments will equip us for future work. In addition, critical thinking is essential. We need the ability to consider and evaluate information. Finally, creativity matters a lot. We will be required to do more creative work and come up with new ideas.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours.
Lihua
