Taelor Reynolds, a student at New Castle Elementary School, was born with a rare syndrome, a condition that resulted in limb differences in both of her hands. At just six years old, she has already undergone eight surgeries.
Despite the challenges she faces daily, her mother, Traci Reynolds, says she’s incredibly strong. “She’s a trooper,” Traci shared. “The last surgery that she had in August was an actual finger movement, so that now she has difficulty grasping her right hand. She is a twin also. So I think it’s hard for her seeing that her sister can do things that is either impossible for her or more challenging for her.”
Taelor doesn’t currently use prosthetics (假肢) and often struggles with everyday tasks, but she has a strong support system—including school counselor Kimberly Logsdon. “It’s really heartbreaking to see that she doesn’t have the same opportunities that other kids have,” Logsdon said. Motivated by Taelor’s resilience (复原力), Logsdon took action. During a campus tour of Old Dominion University (ODU) with her son, she noticed a prosthetic device in a lab and had an idea. She approached the university’s engineering students, hoping that they could create a custom device for Taelor as part of their year-end project. The students agreed—and even connected her with an
organization focused on supporting children with special needs.
Now, the team of ODU engineering students is working to design a personalized prosthetic solution. After taking measurements, they’re building prototypes ( 原型) that could significantly improve Taelor’s quality of life. Their goal is to finish the project by the end of summer.
“So she has one pointer finger on that hand,” Traci explained. “Right now, they’re going to add additional fingers, so that she’s able to grasp things, silverware, things like that. Right now using the restroom is one of her biggest obstacles. They’re going to actually make a toileting tool so that she can do it on her own.”
Why did Traci regard Taelor as a trooper
Taelor was tough after surgeries.
Traci was sympathetic to Taelor.
Taelor struggled with everyday tasks.
Taelor got along badly with her sister.
What did Logsdon do for Taelor A.She worked in a lab to help Taelor.
B. She cooperated with Taelor’s mum.
C. She designed a prosthetic for Taelor.
D. She turned to ODU’ s students for help.
How does the engineering team help
By making digital models. B. By conducting more projects.
C. By improving medical facilities. D. By developing a tailored product.
What does the text mainly tell us
Disability limits people’s creativity.
Warm concern shines through innovation.
Ambition fuels the desires of the disabled.
Technology removes barriers among people.
C
Marine communities traveled to Antarctica during the Earth’s warmest phase in 66 million years, long before a major extinction occurred.
Recently, a team of researchers compared biodiversity and global community structure, and they discovered that the community frequently responds to climate change millions of years before biodiversity loss occurs.
The study implies that plankton (浮游生物) relocated to cooler places to escape the tropical (热带的) heat, leaving only the most highly specialized species to survive. These findings suggest that changes on the community size will be visible long before extinctions, and that greater effort should be put into monitoring the structure of marine communities to potentially forecast future marine extinctions.
Dr Adam Woodhouse from the University of Bristol’s School of Earth Sciences, explained: “Considering three billion people live in the tropics, this is not great news. Biodiversity among marine plankton groups has changed in the last 66 million years, but no one had explored it on a global, spatial scale through the lens of a single database.” “We used the Triton dataset that I created during my PhD, offering new insights into how biodiversity responds spatially to global changes in climate, especially during intervals of global warmth relevant to future warming predictions.” Adam added.
The fossil record of marine plankton is the most complete and extensive document of ancient biological changes available to science. By applying advanced computational analyses to this document, researchers detailed global community structure of the oceans since the death of the dinosaurs, revealing that community change often precedes the extinction of organisms.
The team intends to apply similar strategies to additional marine plankton groupings. This study only looked at planktonic foraminifera ( 有孔虫类); however, there are numerous additional microfossil groups that play key roles in marine food webs to be investigated. They must also use historical and current patterns to anticipate future community organization with new climate models.
What is the major finding of the study
Tropical plankton adapted to extreme heat.
Marine life responds earlier than expected.
Fossil records predict future climate change.
Warming causes immediate biodiversity loss.
What do we know from paragraph 3
Fossil fuel use must be stopped immediately.
Ocean shipping traffic need stricter regulation.
Gene editing of plankton makes for their heat tolerance.
Monitoring marine community structure should be enhanced.
What role did the Triton dataset play in the research
Predict future climate models.
Track species’ extinction timelines.
Compare tropical and polar ecosystems.
Reveal spatial responses to global warmth.
What will the research team investigate next
Causes of tropical extinctions.
Forms of the Ice age community.
Samples of other groups and models.
Adaptation strategies of human beings.

For centuries, we’ve pursued happiness and meaning. But what does that leave out As a social psychologist, I have dedicated my research career to a simple, but universal question: what makes for a good life, and how can we achieve it
For much of human history, we have been presented with two possibilities: pursuing a life of happiness, or a life of meaning. Each of these paths has its benefits, but decades of psychological research have also revealed their limits.
Ask the Danes and Finns, who consistently rank among the happiest people in the world, what their secret is and they’ll tell you this: lower your expectations and be content with what you have. It sounds good, doesn’t it But it leaves something out. It’s a bit like being a college student who only takes easy courses to be sure of getting good grades. Might there be more to life than simple pleasures and cosy comfort
Then there’s the meaningful life. We often imagine that meaning flows from trying to change the
world like Steve Jobs. Once again, the research shows that lowering your sights and focusing on the little things can offer a more achievable sense of meaning. Often people find it in routines like taking care of family, or volunteering in the community. But there is also a dark side to the pursuit of meaning: researchers have found that it can encourage people to draw sharp lines between those who belong in their group and those who don’t.
My research lab mapped out a third route to fulfillment: psychological richness. A psychologically rich life is one filled with diverse, unusual and interesting experiences that change your perspective; a life with twists and turns; a life that feels like a long, winding hike rather than many laps of the same racing circuit. Such experiences can make us tougher. Not only that, embracing the pursuit of psychological richness can make us less likely to regret: it matters less if the thing you did went wrong. Perhaps no one said it better than Eleanor Roosevelt: “The purpose of life, after all, is to live it,
to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear” .
What is revealed about pursuing happiness or meaning
Their benefits outweigh the limits.
They are equally difficult to achieve.
Both paths have limits despite their benefits.
Most people prioritize happiness over meaning.
What does the example of “a college student” show in paragraph 3
Gratitude is essential for a happy life.
We should live up to others’ expectations.
Life means more than leisure and comfort.
Happiness requires academic achievement.
What does the underlined words “a dark side” imply in paragraph 4
It may lead to prejudice against outsiders.
It may result in the loss of group belonging.
It demands too much volunteer involvement.
It makes people forget their family responsibilities.
What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article
To promote Roosevelt’s life philosophy.
To introduce a new concept of life fulfillment.
To criticize traditional psychological research.
To compare different cultural views on happiness.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Humans have evolved to spend long periods doing physical exercise. 36 The complexity of the human brain is to blame.
Evolving an ability doesn’t automatically mean we’ll want to use it. While physical exercise isn’t that bad, it’s still typically unpleasant. 37 It calculates the effort required for actions and tends to stop us from misusing vital resources on fruitless efforts, like walking over 30 km for a handful of berries.
The thing is, regular exercise to get “in shape” needs constant and considerable effort. 38 So, your brain has a tendency to ask this question, “Is it worth it ” This particular feature also means we typically prefer things which offer minimum effort for maximum reward.
Thankfully, the human brain is a complex organ. It isn’t ruled by its more primitive drives. While many species’ thought processes are limited to “Food, eat it!”, “Danger, run!”, “Pain, avoid!”, we’ve evolved beyond that. 39 We can imagine a desirable future scenario (情况), figure out how we’d achieve it, and do just that. Or at least work toward it. This directly impacts how our brain processes motivation and willpower. We can recognize that rejecting a reward now can lead to a greater reward later, and act accordingly.
As far as your brain is concerned, there are processes that discourage exercise, and processes that encourage it. 40
So how does the brain process motivation
But why doesn’t everyone enjoy exercising
Our brains can form long-term goals and ambitions.
It is for gradual progress and uncertain rewards.
The human brain is highly sensitive to wasted effort.
Most people have the habit of doing physical exercise.
Ideally, you’ll end up putting more weight on the latter than the former.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The lunchroom is always so loud. Everyone is either playing games, jumping around, or yelling across the room about the funny thing. Despite how much they all talk, I couldn’t seem to find out what made some of them cool and popular. It must be something unspoken, or maybe an exclusive club they’re a part of. I barely talk though. I just laugh when everyone else is laughing, even when I don’t know what they’re laughing at.
“Mara, are those Jolly Ranchers (快乐牧场糖) ” Sasha asked excitedly. “Yeah,” I responded
nervously. I’m not scared of these girls, I was just shocked that one of them called my name. “Those are my favorite! Can I have one pleaseee ” Sasha loved dragging her words like that, and those words felt like they were dragging across my brain. I hate sharing, and I especially hate sharing my candy. Mom only packs me two Jolly Ranchers. Giving one to Sasha would make me feel like a pushover, but if I didn’t share, I can kiss my social life goodbye.
As she stared at me with her big-shiny-popular-girl eyes, I got the best idea. I’m going to use my Jolly Ranchers to climb the ranks of the third grade. So I gave her the Jolly Rancher, but not without sparking up a conversation.“They’re my favorite too. My mom gives me two every day.” I said. “Luckyyy. My mom doesn’t give me candy for school, because my mom said I might choke.” she responded. Yes, she said something back! A week has passed, and soon I am at the top of the social pyramid thanks to my Jolly Ranchers.
Anyway, we have become close friends. Especially to her delight was that I gave my favorite blue Jolly Rancher to her this Friday, when we could watch movies, play games, and dance for the rest of the day. As Ms. Laney, our teacher, played the video, we all followed the dance moves on the screen. Amidst the loud music and laughing, I hear Sasha say “Look what I can do!” She did some strange jumping thing before bending to the ground, but she didn’t get back up. She looked up at me with a frightened look on her face and her hands on her neck.

One Possible Version:
Campus Labour Week
Last week, our school organized a meaningful activity themed “Camp Labour Week” to foster students’ practical skills and teamwork, which attracted most of the students and achieved desired effects.
Various of activities were included, covering many aspects of campus labour. Classroom cleaning and campus gardening were the basic tasks. We even established a cooking workshop, where we could prepare simple meals. The hands-on experience not only strengthened teamwork but also deepened us students’ understanding of daily chores.
The event received overwhelming enthusiasm. Both teachers and students spoke highly of it, calling it an “invaluable lesson beyond textbooks.” This enriching week left a lasting impression, reminding us that every effort shapes a better community.
续写(25 分)
One Possible Version:
“ Ms Laney! Sasha’s choking” I screamed. Everyone stopped dancing as Ms. Laney ran to save Sasha. Ms. Laney flipped Sasha over her knee, delivering sharp blows on her back. The blue Jolly Rancher flew out of Sasha’s mouth. It landed in front of me, who was now on my knees in shock. I was scared I would get in trouble, sorry that she choked
and angry at myself. “No more Jolly Ranchers!” Ms. Laney warned. I repeatedly said sorry to Sasha, feeling extremely sorry for giving her the Jolly Rancher.
Without Jolly Ranchers, I didn’t want to go back to school. I was afraid that no one even wanted to talk to me without them. But Sasha provided me with the opportunity of a lifetime. She included me in her conversations, and treated me as her actual friend. It turns out being cool and popular is not something unspoken. Even without Jolly Ranchers, our bonds stayed strong. We’re all just normal kids, we’ve all cried in front of each other and the idea of climbing the ranks was replaced by heartfelt friendship.
