A
The day a freshman moves into Harvard Yard is always said to be an enjoyable one and this was certainly true of my first day at the university: As my parents and I drove into the Yard, I looked at the wonderful scene and thought to myself "No freshman should be so lucky"!
I'm sharing a flat with four other girls. We are all completely different in terms of background, beliefs, and interests —we reflect the diversity(多样性)that Harvard is so proud of During this first week, it's a comfort to have four girls I can call friends and that can help me deal with the new situation which is quite difficult at times.
Deciding what classes to take is the first step. At Harvard, the only necessary class for freshmen is a writing class —I'm actually able to take any classes I desire this year and the range of classes is amazing! How do I decide Thankfully, Harvard allows freshmen to try classes during the “Shopping Week". Classes meet at their regular times, and we're able to attend as many (or as few) as we want. If I finally decide to take a course, I'll be held responsible for any work done during the "Shopping Week" ". On the other hand, if I find a class doesn't suit me or the professor is boring, I can decide not to take it!
All of these first-week experiences will make great life-time memories but the greatest treasure Harvard has offered me thus far has been the other students I’ve met. Every time I see someone either singing a moving song al an A Capella Concert, giving an amazing violin performance at a talent show, or saying something extremely inspiring in one of my classes, I'm blown away! Knowing and interacting with so many gifted people is what has made my first week at Harvard a truly priceless experience. One week down, four more years to go —I can't wait!

When Kyle D'Costa and his wife met Rio, a nine-month-old shih tzu(西施犬), in 2021, “it was love at first sight. "The new couple soon added a Lhasa Apso(拉萨犬)and rented a bigger flat to give the animals "more space".
The D'Costas and millions of other middle-class Indians, no longer pleased with new cars and other Western fancy decorations, they are rapidly acquiring pets. According to Statista, a research company, India had 19.4 million pet dogs in 2018 and may now have 31m. In 2021, Market Decipher, another research organization, valued India's pet industry at 890'hillion dollars and said that it would continue to grow by 3 times over the next 10 years.
Actually, the pet industry is growing at a fast rate throughout the world. With rising incomes comes increased pet-ownership, especially among young professionals who tend 10 put off marriage and parenthood and to be extremely willing to enjoy the company of a dog. It is only a matter of time before marriage websites include a "pet-friendly" option.
As keeping peis becomes increasingly popular, so do those working in the industry. "Being in this trade was despised just five years ago, "says Chinmay, a 30-ycar-old dog trainer in Thane, Mumbai. “How will you find a girlfriend ”he recalls his relatives asking him. But dog trainers in Mumbai can these days cam 2, 400 rupees(S30)an hour —more than twice as much as piano teachers. Chinmay is now happily married to one of his customers.
Current pct-industry players are prepared and new ones stepping in. Nestle, the world's biggest food company, Inst year bought into Purina Petcare, an Indian pct-food business. Emami, an Indian company, targeting daily goods, offers medicines for pets. Euromonitor International, a market-research company, thinks India's pct-food industry is worth 480 million dollars and will grow to $1. 2 billion by 2025.
25. Why are the figures listed in Paragraph 2
A. To present the benefits of raising pets.
B. To show the popularity of keeping pets.
C. To stress the significance of pet industry.
D. To express dissatisfaction with the situation.
26. What do young professionals prefer to do nowadays

C. Choose friendly pets. D. Draw comfort from pets
27. What does the underlined word "despised in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Looked down on. B. Done justice to.
C. Shown respect for. D. Taken advantage of
28. What can we learn from the last paragraph

B. Pct-industry is changing people's career options.
C. Nestlé has earned a lot in Indian pet-food business.
D. More companies will have a hand in the pet industry.

Chicken soup. An apple. Hot Ica. When you're sick, everyone from grandma to the next-door neighbor has a helpful suggestion for food that will put you on the road to recovery. What should we make of this wisdom —do some foods really help us feel better, or even actually get better And if so, why do we hardly feel hungry during illness when we might think nutrition is needed most
Yale University immunobiologist Ruslan Medzhitov believes our bodies are working not for making us feel better, but for being alive —and they might not always treat an illness as their greatest risk. Before take-away service was an option, getting food while sick meant putting a weakened body at risk. And finding food also meant losing more energy. Though life has changed, scientists assume these evolutionary holdovers(进化遗存)may still play a role.
That's a challenge, because your body needs a healthy balanced diet when sick. It requires a specific range of nutrition —protein, fat, vitamins, and more —although Medzhitov says those preferences are a moving target. "The way it changes during illness depends on the type of illness, and that's the part we don't know well. "he says. Still. by adding protein, fat, a fruit or vegetable, you can maintain a good balance of nutrition. That may be where the original idea of chicken soup came.
There's no one definite answer as to what to eat during illness. Medzhitov believes that just listening to your body and its preferences is likely the best option. What you desire is more often than not what your body wants. When sick, your desire for one type of food and dislike for another don't come by accident. Millions of years of evolutionary selection have taught your body to recognize them. "If your body needs vitamin C, you will have desire for something that contains it, even though sometimes we don't know what that desire is for. ”
29. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A. To give an example. B. To show a discovery.
C. To make a suggestion. D. To offer an explanation.
30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. Nutritional needs change with illness.
B. People know little about types of illness.
C. Maintaining a balanced diet is a challenge.
D. Chicken soup offers well-rounded nutrition.
31. What does Medzhitov suggest during illness
A. Taking in vitamin C. B. Eating what appeals to you.
C. Drinking chicken soup. D. Minding the body's change.
32. In which section of a website may this text appear
A. Nature. B. Culture. C. Education. D. Science.

Sarah was never a morning person. The alarm ringing at 6: 30 a. m. was her daily terrible sound. But one thing made the horrible early hours acceptable —the comforting pleasant smell of fresh coffee moving through the air. Her favorite coffee shop was just a few minutes from her apartment, and it became her morning call.
One sunny morning, after turning off the alarm clock, Sarah rushed to get dressed. She was going to have an important presentation at work, and she needed the caffeine(咖啡因)more than ever. She grabbed her keys, rushed out of the door, and made her way to the familiar coffee shop.
As she joined the line of cars in front of the coffee shop, Sarah couldn't help but feel the familiar rush of expectation. The smell of roasted coffee beans and the thought of that first drink was her little daily enjoyment.
The line moved slowly forward, and soon, Sarah found herself near the window. She reached for her wallet to pay, but before she could hand over her bank card, the waiter smiled and said, "Your coffee has been covered by the car ahead of you. "
Sarah was confused. "Really "she asked, both surprised and thankful.
The waiter nodded. "Yes, the woman in the car ahead wanted to pay it forward today. Enjoy your coffee!"
With a warm smile. Sarah took the free coffee. The unexpected act of kindness put a smile on her face, making her presentation feel a little less frightening. Before she drove away. Sarah, in her outside back mirror, saw a car approaching from behind.

Dear Tom,
I am writing to invite you to join my family in spending Chinese New Year's Eve together because it would be an opportunity for you to experience traditional Chinese culture firsthand.
On the New Year's Eve, Chinese people first have a big family dinner, including traditional dishes that symbolize good luck for the upcoming year. After dinner, we usually stay up late, setting off firecrackers and watching the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. It is a time filled with joy, warmth, and a strong sense of togetherness.
I am sure you'll learn more when you come to the spot. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Suddenly she decided to do something and brighten someone else s morning. She handed over her bank card to the waiter and said, "I'd like to pay the coffee forward. "After the payment, Sarah knew she had just started a chain of kindness, a warm sense of satisfaction springing up. Informed that the coffee had already been paid for, the next driver smiled and said, “Wonderful! Please use the money I was going to spend to pay for the coffee of the car behind. "and the beautiful cycle repeated.
The continuous chain of kindness attracted social media and inspired other communities. The story became popular online, and strangers copied it in their own communities. Messages of gratitude so flooded the Internet that the chain reached far and wide. Not only was the chain about buying coffee, but also about spreading love, kindness, and warmth to strangers. It served as a reminder that a small act of kindness could cause a series of other magic things to happen, spreading joy and smiles far beyond its original intention.

Welcome back, everyone. This is JPR News Radio. Here comes amazing news. Imagine bridges that can repair themselves without human help, or tiny machines that can be put into the body to treat diseases. These are just two examples of smart materials that could change and adapt to their environment. Inspired by living things, they could change the way we live. But the document from the UK's Royal Society says they may also need laws to avoid the wrong things happening. Some such materials already exist: self-repairing paint and a material like stone that can repair itself. And both of them have become products. But more are on the way. Prof. Mark Miodownik also says this is a really important century for us. Bridges in the future are going to know they are damaged and then they are going to be able to do something about it. The question in my view is not if it's going to happen. It is when it's going to happen.
