When I was growing up,my mom often said that no matter what grades I got in school,as long as I did my best,she'd be proud of me. Then she added,"But if you didn't get an A,I'll know you didn't do your best."She said it with a smile, but I took it seriously: I shouldn't settle for anything less than perfect. My greatest weakness is that I'm too much of a perfectionist.
Perfectionism is the desire to be 100% perfect. The goal is zero faults and no failures. In an increasingly competitive world,kids face growing pressure from parents to be perfect and severe criticism when they fall short. Every fault is a blow to their self-esteem(自尊). I've lived it myself.
When I won the fifth-grade quiz bowl on world explorers, I beat myself up afterward for missing one question. How could I forget that the sea route to India was discovered by Vasco da Gama,but not Magellan? When I made the finals of a Mortal Kombat tournament and won a lifetime pass to a local movie theater,I didn't celebrate. Third place is the second loser. When I won the first prize in a math test,I was disappointed. Only a 98? Not good enough. There was always a voice in the back of my mind whispering that it wasn't enough and that I could have done better.
It was during my college years that I started to question the value of this perfectionism. I met people who didn't seem to be weighed down by the same expectations, who accepted their mistakes and saw them as opportunities for growth rather than failures. They taught me that it was okay to be imperfect,that it was human to make mistakes,and that sometimes,the most important lessons come from our failures.
24. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A.Why the author became a perfectionist. B. The disadvantage of being a perfectionist.
C. How the author got the good grades in school. D. The feeling of being grateful to the author's mother.
25.What made the author unsatisfied with what had been achieved?
A. Blame from parents. B. Desire to get first prize.
C. Eagerness to be perfect. D. Pressure of competitions.
6.What made the author change the attitude towards perfectionism?
A. Losing expectation to succeed. B. Realizing the harm of being perfect.
C. Learning lessons from other people's failure. D. Encountering those accepting imperfection.
27.Which column of a magazine may the text be taken from?
A. Parenting Styles. B. Coming-of-Age Stories.
C. People of Achievement. D. Challenges Facing Youth.

With generative artificial intelligence toolssuch as ChatGPT—being widely used in foreign language education and translation tasks,the rapid development of such tools has faced some challenges and doubts.
However,some educators,students and translators see generative AI as more of a chance rather than a threat.
Wang Huashu,a professor at Bejing Foreign Studies University, said generative AI is changing foreign language education.It opens up new possibilities for personalized teaching.“Teachers can use AI to create realistic dialogue scenes for speaking practice, while students benefit from immediate comments on oral and written language skills,mproving their communication abilities,” said Wang,adding that many universities are using AI to enrich their courses. The rise of AI does redefine translators’ roles.
"Though AI finishes the translation tasks in seconds,it struggles with tasks like cultural and contextual understanding.So,educators ned to focus more on students′ thinking and skills to ensure high-quality language use," he added. For fears of Al replacing foreign language professonals, Wang was against such fears. "Translation is not only a mechanical task but also a process of deep cultural understanding and value reconstruction,” Wang said AI tools are important for bridging linguistic,cultural and physical worlds,but they cannot own the poetic,creative and emotional qualities that human translators possess.
Yuki,a graduate student in Vietnamese translation at Guangxi University,said Al's abilities in Vietnamese translation are limited due to the language's unique qualities. ChatGPT, which she described as her “cyber teacher”,has improved translation speed and offered fresh views for academic writing, but it struggles with creative content,she said. She added that those without strong language skills may blindly follow Al-generated translations,preventing their professional development.
Professor Wang said both teachers and students must stay updated with the latest educational technologies,and courses like Al-assisted translation should be in place to prepare them for future challnges. 28. What does the underlined word probably mean?
A. Change. B. Assist. C. Replace. D. Strengthen.
29.What's TRUE about generative AI according toProfessor Wang?
A. It threatens the roles of translators. B. It can finish all the tasks as expected. C. It makes the personalized learning possible. D. It has the same qualities as human translators
30.Why does Yuki mention ChatGPT?
A. To introduce a new generative AI tool. B. To warn people not to use AI in translation.
C. To prove AI has disadvantages in translation. D. To show AI can improve translation speed.
31. What's the best title of the passage?
A. Generative AI is Rising B. What Benefits Generative AI Brings C.How to Face Generative AI Properly D. Generative AI Rocks the Language World

Despite all the efforts students make to graduate with a science major, research has shown that most college science courses provide students with only a fragmented(碎片化的)understanding of fundamental scientific concepts. The teaching method improves memorization of separate facts, proceding from one textbook chapter to the next without necessarily making connections between them.
With that in mind,we developed a series of crossdisciplinary(跨學(xué)科的)activities. In our most recent study,we investigated how well college students could use their chemistry knowledge to explain real-world biological phenomenon. To begin with, we interviewed 28 college students majoring in sciences or engineering. All had taken both introductory chemistry and biology courses. We asked them to identify connections between the content of these courses and what they believed to be the take-home messages from each course. The students responded with extensive lists of topics,concepts,and skills that they'd learned in class.
Following that,a set of cros-disciplinary activities were designed to guide students in the use of core chemistry ideas and knowledge to help explain real-world biological phenomenon. One activity explored the impacts of ocean acidification酸化)on seashell. Here,the students were asked to use basic chemistry ideas to explainhow the increasing level of carbon dioxide in sea water is affecting shel-building marine animals such as corals and oysters.
Overall,the students felt confident of their chemistry knowledge. However, they had a harder time applying the same chemistry knowledge. The students in our study also reported that these activities helped them see links between the two disciplines that they wouldn't have perceived otherwise. The ability to make these connections is important beyond the classroom as well,because it's the basis of science literacy(素養(yǎng)).So we also came away with evidence that our chemistry students at least would like to have the ability to have a deeper understanding of science and how to apply it.
32. What does the present science education fail to do according to the research?
A.Extending students'theoretical knowledge.
B.Involving students in more hands-on activities.
C. Encouraging students to enjoy the learning process.
D. Helping students make cross-disciplinary connections.
33. What can we learn about the student interviewees?
A. They have rich academic knowledge.
B. They pay little attention to biology courses.
C. They hardly identify the core ideas of science.
D. They fully understand the importance of their majors.
34. What should students do in the ocean acidification activity?
A.Analysing the exact composition of sea water.
B. Studying some unusual phenomena under the sea.
C. Coming up with practical methods to protect marine life.
D.Explaining the effects of carbon dioxide on certain sea animals.
35.What does the author see from the result of the study?
A. The challenges existed in chemistry courses.
B. The need to remove the unfairness in education.
C. The potential to promote students’ science literacy.
D. The method of increasing students’ practical skills.

Each child is then matched to a pen pal of similar age. This establishes(建立)a point of connection quickly for the children and promotes a stronger bond. If the letter writers are in the same grade,they can chat about school,their teachers,and what they are studying. They can also compare what different states or countries learn about and how the atmosphere of the classroom is. Children may also be more likely to write about problems they are having if they feel like they are speaking to a peer in a similar situation. Although pen pals may live in different countries,they may find common ground. The writer lists their favorite activities to do outside,plus what they like best and least about school. This gives the writer an opportunity to express and receive advice from the pen pal.
"Hearing first-hand stories from an international pen pal can encourage teens to take someone else's viewpoint(觀點(diǎn)) and think outside of themselves” writes Rebecca Fraser-Thill on Very Well Family.“Having a foreign pen pal can also encourage interest in geography,history and culture. "

A peer is a person who is about the same age as you.Peers affect your life,whether you know it or not,just by spending time with you.
Peers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easyway to remember the planets in solar system.Maybe you got others excited about your newfavorite book and now everyone's reading it.
However,sometimes peers affect one another in another way.For example,one kid in school might try to get another to cut clas with him,your soccer friend might try topersuade you tobe mean to another player and never pass her the ball,or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to steal things with him.
Some kids give into peer pressure because they want to be liked,to fit in,or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don't go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “everyone's doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.
Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure caninfluence someone tochange her orhis mind fromwhat she orhe knows forsureis a correct answer to the incorrect answerjust because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.
It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure,but it can be done. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.

Every so often,3l-year-old Chen Jiawen,a product designer at a technology company Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province,sets aside a day for herself called Unplug Day. On this day,she disconnects from the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences. In the morning,she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music. In the afternoon,she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening,they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones,engaged in deep conversation. Upon returning home,she spends the evening reading.
Chen started the plan as she often felt “interrupted" by technology,citing moments of distraction(分心) like pop-up notifications, ring tones and repetitious warnings leading her to check for new messages, and feeings of information overload.“Ocasionally disconnecting from the network is like feeding the brain a day of vegetarian food,”" Chen said. Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus. In addition to this,she has started replacing short videos with longer ones and prioritizes reading in-depth news articles or books.“When friends gather and everyone is glued to their phones, it makes me uncomfortable,” Chen said, adding that burying herself in social media prevented her from completing work as planned, leading to psychological burdens and a decreasing focus.
It's become a common situation where modern people might unconsciously use the time spent waiting at traffic lights to watch a short video or constantly check out a trending topic upon receiving a push notification from an app. To prevent this sense of being “controlled" by mobile devices,some young Chinese like Chen are experimenting with digital minimalism and are discovering positive outcomes from their efforts. Technology should bring us joy,not reduce the time we spend with family or increase our anxiety. Our goal is to control technology rather than letting it control us.
32. What can we learn about Unplug Day?
A. It is a day for reading. B. It is a day without phones.
C. It is a day away from the Internet. D. It is a day to spend with friends.
33. What does the underlined word “combat”" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Range. B. Cancel. C. Obtain. D. Prevent.
34.What is the direct impact of over-involvement in social media?
A. Tasks' delays. B. Stress from peers.
C. Mental problems. D. A decreasing focus.
35. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A. Enjoy the benefits of technology.
B. Decrease the time spent on digital devices.
C. Remove the apps informing new messages.
D. Watch longer videos while waiting at traffic lights.

And she said,"Honey,can you fetch me the family album from my closet? Let's take a look together."
While searching for the album, Mark discovered many pieces of paper there. He came running and said, "Grandma! Are these yours? Do you write poems?" Linda replied,"Oh,I did it in the past. I wanted to read them on stage one day,but I never had the opportunity. You see,I have two wonderful sons and many lovely grandchildren. I got busy in the past. Anyway,forget about that."

When visiting his grandma again,Mark told her the news and said,“Grandma, you can finally stand on stage and read your poems!" Linda said in tears,"I'm too old! I will get nervous. " But Mark believed that his grandma would be the best poet. With his encouragement,Linda agreed and decided to read a humorous poem written by herself.
Mark's support didn't end up there. He told Linda's story to Joseph,the father of one of his classmates, who worked as an editor for a local newspaper.
