Sarah, torn between the two, tried to settle it.
Ethan’s words deeply affected John’s expectations and beliefs as a father. Sarah, who often helped solve problems between them, saw their pain. She understood John’s desire to protect their son from unstable life, but also recognized Ethan’s passion and talent. The next day, Sarah suggested to John that they need find a way to balance Ethan’s love for art with his schoolwork. John, though still worried, agreed to think it again.
That night, he gradually understood Ethan’s talent and happiness. He still realized he had been so focused on providing for his family that he missed seeing Ethan’s talent and happiness.
As the storm outside gradually became calmer, a newfound understanding blossomed within their family.
The next week, John supported Ethan’s art and studies. Ethan felt relieved and promised to
work hard in both. Sarah happily watched the conflict solved, knowing Ethan would fulfill his promise. From then on, the family supported Ethan’s two pursuits. John attended his art shows and offered sincere comments, while Sarah remained his biggest supporter. Ethan balanced his studies and art, striving to fulfill his dreams.

The island of Rottumeroog in the Netherlands is an uninhabited (无人居住的) wilderness heavily protected by European nature laws. I traveled there back and forth many times for a job — an amazing opportunity, as visitors were usually not allowed. For much of my time there, I was alone. My job was to take pictures to help others learn about this place.
I grew up near the coast and open setting was familiar to me. I tried to avoid leaving my own footprints on the island, which has a sand foundation and is gradually moving to the southeast, guided by the current. I walked its perimeter (周边) daily, training myself to listen and watch for small changes in this landscape that was so simple. You could draw it with just a few lines.
One of my favorite spots to explore was along the shore where an old building once stood. All that remained were some half-buried bricks, among which shells and ocean wastes collected. One day I noticed a bottle in the broken stones unlike others I’d previously found — this one’s cap was screwed on. I opened it and discovered a handwritten note inside. In English, it said: “My name is Meike and I’m 11 years old. I have good friends and you ”
As I began writing back — Meike had given her school in the Netherlands as a return address — I tried to describe the feeling of working here: On Rottumeroog you see only earth, water, and sand, and the wind whistles in your ears. Meike eventually received my letter, and now, years later, I am still in touch with her family. People tend to think that being alone is a bad thing. But to me it felt like freedom in every vein (血管).
What was the author’s job
A. A driver. B. A tour guide. C. A photographer. D. A teacher.
What can we learn about the author
He enjoyed lying on the beach.
He was a regular visitor to the island.
He was crazy about collecting shells.
He trained himself to adapt to the island life.
What can we infer from the last paragraph
Meike will land the island soon.
The author has trouble with his veins.
The author will go to visit the Netherlands.
Meike understands the feeling of the author.
How does the author find his job on the island of Rottumeroog
A. Enjoyable. B. Boring. C. Unusual. D. Tough.
C
The Space-Time Painter, written by Chinese writer Hai Ya, won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette recently. Hai became the third Chinese winner of the world’s top award for science fiction writing, following sci-fi writers Liu Cixin and Hao Jingfang.
The Space-Time Painter was inspired by a painting masterpiece, Qianli Jiangshan Tu by Wang Ximeng from the Song dynasty. Modeled on the life of Wang, Hai Ya has created the character of painting talent Zhao Ximeng. Zhao painted for an emperor more than 1,000 years ago.
After much pain and suffering, the painter’s mind abandons his physical body and enters a space. In the space, a modern police officer is investigating a case involving an ancient painting. The story exposes the social phenomenon of the period during which the painting was created.
Hai shared his source of inspiration for the award-winning book. “I watched a program named National Treasure and the detailed information of the painter of Qianli Jiangshan Tu was introduced. This interested me,” he said. He added that the painter was a gifted young man but was never seen again in history, which was an idea that could be explored with science-fiction. In this story, Hai did his best to balance the relationship among the plot, characters and history. He hoped to bring readers a mature work.
Hai, also a financial worker, thought himself more a sci-fi lover than a writer. “I write while doing my job, so I have very little time to write every day,” he said. “But I think as long as I love it and am willing to put effort into it, I will see hopes.”
How many Chinese writers have won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette A.1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.
What was the inspiration for Hai Ya’s The Space-Time Painter
A. Qianli Jiangshan Tu. B. Hai Ya’s sufferings.
C. A TV programme. D. Zhao Ximeng’s experiences.
Which is the closest in meaning to “exposes” in paragraph 3
A. Studies. B. Uncovers.
C. Recalls. D. Advertises.
What is Hai Ya’s attitude towards the science fiction writing
A. Uninterested. B. Disappointed.
C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
D
Bananas have happy superpower. Here’s the science, from a researcher who specializes in the links between nutrition and mood. Ninety percent of Americans say they eat bananas at least once a month, which are followed by apples, making them the most popular fruit in the U.S. Not only are bananas delicious in healthy banana bread and smoothies; but eaten alone, bananas are packed with healthy vitamins and nutrients. Among its various benefits, this sunny yellow fruit has a happy superpower: it can serve as an important mood-booster.
“Due to the state of the world right now, a lot of people are having problems with stress, anxiety, depression, burnout and sleeplessness,”says Shawn Talbott, Ph.D, a nutritional biochemist who specializes in researching the links between nutrition and mood. If you can relate, Dr. Talbott offers his understanding into why our love for bananas is a bright spot in the American diet.
Dr. Talbott explains the main reason bananas may be the basic mood food: one banana contains 20 percent of your recommended daily allowance of vitamin B6. This vitamin is scientifically shown to reduce depression and anxiety, better the effects of stress, and improve mood overall, according to a 2019 study of how B vitamins affect mood, published in Nature.
The trick is vitamin B6’s power to produce serotonin (血清素), a powerful brain neurotransmitter,
which is nicknamed the “happy hormone ( 荷 尔 蒙 ).” Dr. Talbott adds that bananas are also high in prebiotic fiber and potassium (钾), which are other nutrients linked to a good mood.
In fact, people who ate a diet higher in potassium showed less depression and a better mood overall, according to a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition. Dr. Talbott explains that vitamins, including B6, are one way to help support your body and mind in dealing with all of problems.
What are the most popular fruit in the U.S.
A. Pears. B. Bananas. C. Oranges. D. Apples.
What problems people are facing according to the text
Busy work.
Fewer choices of food.
Some mental problems.
Food without enough vitamins.
From paragraph 3 and 4, we can learn that .
eating bananas can help produce serotonin.
eating bananas can help produce potassium.
eating bananas can help us become healthier.
eating bananas can help us become happier.
What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Bananas brighten your day. B. A hot fruit - Bananas.
C. Bananas contain vitamin B6. D. Americans love bananas.

In the quiet town, the John family lived a seemingly peaceful life. John, a hardworking architect, and Sarah, a dedicated teacher, had always struggled to provide the best for their son, Ethan.
As Ethan entered high school, the issue began to change their once harmonious home. School grades were the first battleground. While John believed in traditional hard work, Ethan, a creative soul, found himself passionate to the arts. Every time he painted, his mother Sarah would praise him wholeheartedly, but John only blamed it a waste of time. So Ethan often argued with his father.
One stormy night, the conflict came to a head. John, reviewing Ethan’s report card, furrowed his brow at the grades. “Ethan, you need to focus more on your studies. These grades won’t help you become an engineer. Stop drawing!”
Ethan couldn’t bear the disappointment in his father’s eyes. “Dad, I want to be a painter, not an engineer.” he argued back. Sarah, trying to stop the argument becoming more serious, quickly interrupted, “John, maybe we should let Ethan try. It could be his true calling.” However, he stuck to his beliefs, “Art won’t put food on the table or pay the bills. You need a stable job.” The debate echoed through the house.
